Josh sauntered down the hallway of his suburban high school with his usual cocky swagger. The handsome young 18-year-old baseball jock was looking forward to his last year of school before heading on to college. Being a senior meant that he and his buddies would finally be the big men on campus. As he turned a corner heading for his locker, he spotted a cute chick named Suzy whom he had dated a few times in the past. Brushing his fingers through his closely cropped light-brown hair, he smiled at Suzy and gave her a wink. Her eyes were glued to the front of Josh's skintight blue jeans, where his thick 8-inch rod formed a huge bulge in the crotch of the faded button-fly denim. Josh liked to wear his clothing tight, unlike most of his classmates who preferred the loose-fitting casual fashions of the day. He wanted to show off his buff toned body to the world, and loved seeing the gals all drool over him.
Arriving at his locker, Josh dialed his combination and removed the heavy padlock from the latch. Opening the door, he threw some books from his backpack inside and grabbed some new volumes for his next class. It was at this point that he noticed a folded slip of paper sitting on the bottom of the locker. Someone had pushed the note inside through the crack at the bottom of the door. Mildly amused by this, Josh chuckled to himself, thinking that some girl was leaving him love notes. The smile vanished from his face, however, when he started reading.
"I hate you, Josh. I thought that I had my feelings under control until you entered my life. Now all of my perverted desires have overwhelmed my mind once again. I should be a happy young stud with everything to look forward to, but now I find myself at night jacking my stiff cock thinking about your body. Why do you have to wear those tight slutty jeans? Your big rod and cum-filled balls bulging inside your sweaty jockstrap, just out of sight. And those thin cotton-mesh T-shirts that you wear, with your erect male nipples sticking out into the material from your muscular pectorals. Oh man, how I would love to ram my hard dick into your tight rounded bubble-butt. Yea, pretty-boy, I've decided that you're too wrapped up in yourself to realize what a hot slut you could be. Very soon, baby, I'm going to have my way with you."
Josh stood there in front of his locker in a daze. When the class bell sounded to bring his mind back to reality, the teenaged jock realized, to his shame, that he had a hard-on. "Oh fuck, some weird closet-fag wimp has the hots for me. Who the hell could it be?" thought the disturbed good-looking teen as he stuffed the note into his pack. He had to run to his first class, and just barely made it there on time. His morning classes were a total blur and he absorbed nothing of what was being taught. Josh was relieved when the lunch-break finally rolled around. Even though he knew he could not speak about the incident to anyone, he hoped that being around his jock pals would make him feel better. After loading up his tray with food, he sat amongst several of his baseball teammates to eat in silence. He started feeling a little better as he listened to their friendly banter and good-natured taunting of each other.
After a few minutes, Josh's best bud Matt joined them, and he took a seat right next to Josh. Matt playfully tussled his friend's hair as he swung his massive muscular frame down into the chair. Matt was the school's All-American starting football quarterback, and he weighed about 210 pounds and stood 6 feet 3 inches tall. He was a brutally handsome stud with short buzz-cut blond hair and deep blue eyes that drove the ladies all crazy. He and Josh went on many a double-date with the prettiest girls in the school. They had been best friends since Matt had transferred into the school in his junior year. Even though Josh was not as tall as his buddy and was not as muscular, the two jocks hit it off from the beginning. Matt always tried to make it to each of Josh's baseball games in the spring, and Josh went to all of the football games in the fall. Josh felt most relaxed and secure when he was around Matt.
Toward the end of the lunch period, Matt noticed that his pal was being very quiet and somber. After most of the other jocks had drifted away from the table, Matt asked Josh why he was in such a dark mood. Josh snapped back that he didn't want to talk about it, but immediately felt bad about being so harsh with his buddy. He looked sadly into Matt's eyes, then stood up to leave for his next class. Matt slapped Josh's left butt cheek hard with one of his massive hands and growled, "Well, fucker. You know I'm here for you when you're ready." For some reason, Josh's cock twitched at the tone of Matt's voice and the slight sting in his tight ass. After finishing his lunch, 18-year-old Matt headed to the gym to get ready for an early afternoon varsity football practice. It was the middle of the season for the team, and they had a big game coming up against their biggest cross-town rivals. The muscular blond jock opened his locker and started stripping out of his street clothing. Once he was stark-naked, the buff teenaged athlete started to reach into the locker for his jockstrap, but stopped short. A folded slip of paper was jammed inside the pouch of the snow-white strap. None of the athletic team lockers are ever kept locked, so that the uniforms can be cleaned and replaced. Matt started reading the note, thinking that it must be a message from one of the coaches.
"Hi there, muscleboy. I bet you're standing there naked right about now, reading this. Your big thick cock is dangling between your built muscular legs, and your sweet low-hanging gonads are swinging freely in the warm sweaty locker room air. Yea, you big dumb jock, you just love the smell of all the other studs' damp sweat-soaked bodies that permeate the entire gym. I know that you do, because I'm a muscle-hungry jock just like you. Don't look now, but I bet that your beefy love-muscle is growing harder by the minute. Oh fuck, baby stud, how I would love to be there right now. I've always wanted to shove you down onto your knees and ram my stiff erection into your warm wet mouth. You like that idea, don't you, you horny macho cocksucker? You've thought about that every time some huge lineman has pounded your butch body into the turf, and ground his bulging crotch into your face. Yea, I know all of those secret desires you have. I can see it in your eyes every day. We'll be together soon, my handsome blond jock-slut."
Matt let the note drop from his hand, and he unconsciously cupped his sweaty balls in his right hand. He looked down and saw that his 9-inch adolescent rod was rock-hard and dripping pre-cum from the slit of his moist piss hole. Knowing that he was the only football player to have arrived yet in the gym, the muscular hunk fell to his knees. Unable to stop himself, he gave into the desperate desires that the raunchy note had planted into his mind. No actually, those desires had already been lurking in the back of his thoughts from an early age, he realized. Even as his body had blossomed into a mass of sculpted musculature, he had had these sordid ideas of being forced to humiliate himself before another muscular male. His dark feelings of inadequacy around other built macho jocks fed his secret longing to be shamed and stripped of his dignity.
As these thoughts raped his mind, Matt moaned and reached out for his jockstrap. Pretending that it was one of his teammate's used sweaty stained straps, he jammed it into his own mouth. Rubbing his rippled six-pack abdomen with his left hand, the horny blond leaned back and pounded his erect tool frantically with his right. As he neared a building climax in his loins, poor Matt pinched his nipples hard between his fingers. That pushed him quickly over the edge, and his pulsing cock started firing bolts of spunk all over his heaving chest. Several globs of creamy sperm shot up onto his face and dribbled down the side of his nose and his ruby-red lips.
When he heard a door on the far side of the gym being opened, Matt scrambled to wipe the cum from his face and body using his jockstrap. As one of his buff teammates approached, he was forced to pull the slimy strap on over his still-throbbing rod to hide the evidence of his debasement. Later, as he went through the motions of football practice, he could feel his own sticky spunk coating his entire sweaty crotch. He wondered if any of his teammates could smell the scent of his muscle-jock seed. In the showers after practice, Matt found himself openly checking out the thick cocks of his fellow players. The confused and aroused high school athlete had never before allowed himself to notice that many of the other guys were hung like horses. More than a few of them also seemed to be sporting half-hard erections as they played around and slapped each other's hard round butts. Matt had to cover his crotch when an image of himself down on his knees being spanked by the entire team popped into his head. When Matt got home that night, he sucked on his cum-encrusted jockstrap and fisted another creamy load onto his abdomen. As he fell asleep, rubbing the sticky cum all over his nearly hairless torso, the blond teen mumbled to himself, "You cocksucker."
Poor Josh was a basket case for the rest of his day. He quickly jumped into his vintage Camaro Z-28 and gunned the engine a few times, before peeling out of the school parking lot. When he finally got home, he went straight up to his room and locked the door. Falling onto his bed face down, the otherwise macho jock started sobbing like a baby. His brain was filled with a confusing mix of emotions, as he tried to erase the memory of that morning's incident from his mind. But the harder that he tried, the more his thoughts drifted back to that note. He had never considered how his actions might affect other males around him. What disturbed him most was how the lurid suggestive talk in the note had cracked open some deeply hidden place within his mind. A place that hid a secret desire for other muscular males like himself.
Josh emitted a guttural moan as he stood up and wandered over to the mirror on his closet door. Standing there with his legs spread, he began rubbing his own bulging crotch with his hand. His pulsing rod grew rock-hard inside his tight jeans, and he pushed his T-shirt up above his pecs to reveal his washboard abdomen. Fingering his deeply indented navel, he looked straight into his own dark-brown eyes and moaned out loud, "Yea, you think you're a hot stud. That's it, feel yourself up. You're pathetic, you fucking punk. What did that dude call you, a slut? Yea, that's what you really want to be, isn't it pretty-boy?"
Yanking open his button-fly jeans, the aroused teen pulled out his throbbing erection and let it slap against his pumped abdomen several times. Drops of pre-cum sprayed into the light-brown hairs of his narrow crab-trail. Pushing his briefs and jeans down his thighs, he fondled his shaved balls and twisted them brutally in his hand. The narcissistic dude liked to keep his crotch shaved smooth, except for a neatly trimmed patch just above his rod, because he thought the gals would like it. In truth, it made his cock and balls more sensitive to the constant rubbing against his tight clothing. Josh started moaning and fisted his thick cock brutally with his right hand. With his left, he slapped his low-hanging gonads hard, imagining a muscular stud punishing the horny jock for coming onto him. The out-of-control muscleboy groaned and a stream of juicy sperm started shooting from his erect tool. His knees buckled, and the young high school punk's ripped stomach was covered in thick globs of spunk. Panting with wanton lust, Josh began lifting the steamy seed up to his own lips with his fingers. He imagined the muscular stud forcing his hand down into his pathetic open mouth.
Early the following morning, Josh woke up with his usual urgent hard-on, and he stretched out his lanky frame and threw aside the sheets. He suddenly remembered his perverted private masturbation show from the night before, because his smooth abdomen was caked with his own dried sperm. The helpless stud whimpered to himself as he dragged his sorry ass into the bathroom shower. With the warm water cascading down his chest, he felt his big thick rod growing harder between his legs. His mind flashed on images of naked muscular young men, and the pathetic teen yanked hard on his hairless balls and gasped out loud, "Oh God. You really are turning into a fucking faggot."
As Josh started getting dressed for school, he decided to wear an old pair of loose-fitting jeans over a new pair of cotton-mesh boxer-briefs. Pulling an oversized varsity sweatshirt on over his muscular chest, the confused athlete suddenly wanted to avoid his usual habit of displaying his body in tight clothing. Jumping into his car, the poor jock's mind raced as he drove to school, trying to figure out who could have written that sordid note to him. Just as he pulled into the high school's parking lot, a horrible thought popped into his head. That reference in the note about Josh coming into his admirer's life a short time ago fit his best friend Matt's situation exactly. Josh's cock began to stiffen at the notion that his muscular buddy might be warm for his form.
Matt leaned against his pickup truck reading through his football playbook. But his mind was elsewhere, thinking about the lurid note from the day before. For some reason, the football stud's thoughts started drifting toward an image of his best friend Josh's muscular body. They had showered together many times, but now Matt suddenly could not stop thinking about what Josh's thick cock might look like with an erection. Josh had often joked with Matt about the relative size of their endowments. Even though Matt had about an inch on his buddy in that department, Josh would taunt him, saying that he made better use of his tool. Matt suddenly wondered if his butch pal was the one who wanted to fuck his face. Just like the insult from the note, Josh had often called him a big dumb jock.
As these mutual suspicions of perverted desires clouded each teen's mind, Josh pulled his car into the space next to Matt's truck. As Josh stepped out of his Camaro, Matt was surprised by his best friend's more modest looking outfit. When he made a comment about it to Josh, Matt was shocked when he replied, "Well, stud. I don't want my admirers to get too worked up about my gorgeous bod. They might try something that we'd both regret later. Sorry to disappoint you, dude." Matt just stood there nervously, as his rod began to throb and push down the leg of his jeans, showing an obvious bulge. Josh looked directly into his helpless friend's deep-blue eyes, and he licked his lips in a suggestive fashion.
The spell between the two horny jocks was broken when a mutual buddy joined them. Ryan was a brutally handsome 18-year-old dark-haired muscle hunk who was the starting center on Matt's football squad. His chest had the massive bulging pectorals of a bodybuilder, and his trim waist only accentuated the look of his built thighs and rounded butt. Unlike Matt and Josh's relatively smooth bodies, Ryan had thick hair covering his upper chest that spilled out over the top of his cutoff sweatshirt. He greeted his two pals with a hearty, "Hey dudes. How's it hanging?" Ryan chuckled to himself when he caught the fading looks of desire on each of their smooth teenaged faces. He smiled, knowing that the notes that he had written were starting to have the desired effect. The closet muscle-loving queer had wanted both of these butch jocks since the first time he had met them. The first step of his plan was to turn them on to each other. The next step would allow him to have his way with each of them.
The two horny aroused teens spent most of the rest of the day eying each other closely. They did not have a chance to be alone together to pursue the situation further, but they tried to act normally around their other friends. Neither of them noticed how much Ryan was hanging around each of them. Toward the end of the school day, Ryan planted another note to each boy in their lockers. Both notes read, "Listen up, stud. Meet me in the school's weight room tonight. I can't wait any longer to get it on with you. Be there at the following time, and don't be late." Ryan wrote 7:00PM on Josh's note, and 7:30PM on Matt's version. The devious muscle-jock had managed to get a copy of the gym key from the coach, pretending that he wanted to get in some extra exercise time.
At around 7:25PM, Matt pulled into the darkened parking lot and turned off the engine of his pickup. He sat there for a few minutes rubbing the growing bulge in his crotch. Sure enough, he noticed that Josh's boss Camaro was parked outside of the gym. Finally gathering up his courage, Matt entered the gym through a side door that he found unlocked. When he got to the doorway of the weight room, the blond stud stopped short and moaned. There on one of the weight benches was a stark-naked Josh. The butch jock was tied to the bench face down, and his mouth was gagged with several dirty jockstraps. Sticking out of his sweaty round bubble-butt was the end of a thick flesh-colored dildo. Josh's eyes grew wide when he spotted his muscular buddy enter the room, and he tried in vain to shout a warning to Matt through the straps stuffing his hungry mouth.
Matt had no time to react, as a strong arm wrapped around his neck and started choking him. All too soon, the struggling blond hunk passed out and slumped to the floor. A pair of muscular hands started stripping the poor jock's worn denim jeans and thin cotton T-shirt from his helpless body. Once he had the pretty-boy quarterback stripped nude, Ryan dragged the dazed stud over to a steel chair and quickly bound him tightly with lengths of white athletic tape. Once he was done, the naked hairy football center slapped Matt's face hard several times to wake him up. Matt's groggy eyes began to focus on a dripping 11-inch cock positioned right in front of his gasping mouth.
"Oh Matty boy. You really are such a dumb young jock. Both you and your cute faggot buddy over there fell right into my plan. You both thought that the other had the balls to admit his secret desires. Neither of you pussy-boys would have ever dared to reveal your buried lust for other muscular men. You both needed my help to out yourselves to each other. But like I said in my dirty notes, I can spot a cock-hungry queer from a mile away. Now stud, let's hear what sexual fantasies are rattling around in that dumb blond head of yours."
Matt moaned and struggled against his bondage, trying to clear his mind. Ryan dragged the head of his pulsing cock over the side of Matt's handsome face, leaving a trail of pre-cum across his flushed cheek. Growing impatient, Ryan grabbed a fistful of the whimpering jock's hair and forced him to look up. When the dazed athlete's mouth fell open, the muscle-bound hairy football player rammed his thick tool down Matt's warm wet throat. The helpless young stud gasped and choked on the hard rod invading his virgin mouth, as globs of spit dribbled out from the edges of his lips. Acting on instinct, the horny blond hunk gradually learned to control his breathing, and he started sucking on his teammate's manhood with a hungry passion. When Ryan noticed his prey's building lust, he yanked the throbbing toy from the boy's masculine face.
"Oh God, Ryan. Why are you doing this to us? I thought that you were our buddy. Oh shit, I can't help myself, Josh. I can't resist these perverted urges any longer. You're my best friend, but you look so hot over there with that fucking dildo up your sweet tight butt. Oh damn, I admit it. I'm just a cock-hungry faggot. Fuck it, Ryan. Is that what you wanted to hear? You want me to humiliate myself in front of my closest buddy? Yea, I'm a cocksucker."
Ryan let out a nasty laugh, then plunged his erection back into Matt's cute muscleboy mouth. Reaching down, he began to brutally twist the blond jock's erect male nipples between his strong fingers. The aroused young stud moaned loudly as his virile athletic body was assaulted by his hairy muscle-bound teammate. Ryan went wild and fucked the groaning quarterback's cocksucking mouth for over 15 minutes, occasionally slapping the side of the bound jock's sweat-soaked face. Finally on the edge, Ryan yanked his tool from the exhausted hunk's sucking lips, and he frantically fisted his wet rod in front of Matt's face. As long white bolts of sperm splashed all over the muscular jock's lips, nose, and cheeks, Ryan screamed, "Oh yea. Take my hot load, you little cocksucking queer. Fucking closet homo."
With the creamy wet muscle cum dripping down his face, Matt hung his head and started whimpering from the shame of his debasement. Those emotions turned to alarm when he noticed that Ryan was pulling on his clothing. Turning to leave, Ryan laughed and said, "Sorry, pussy-boys. I've got to run. Tomorrow morning's gym class will enjoy seeing your wimpy naked bodies. The whole school will know about your hidden desires. Bye, faggots."
Matt knew that, at that hour of the day, it would be useless to try and yell for help. Struggling with all of his strength, he finally managed to tip the chair that he was bound to over onto the floor. As it fell, his head hit the floor really hard, and he was knocked unconscious. Poor Josh whimpered into his gag as he watched his muscular friend's futile escape. He felt ashamed as his eyes could not help but devour the erotic view of his pal's naked bound torso. His flat washboard stomach was stretched taut by his bound muscular arms, and his thick cock and low-hanging balls hung down from his groin. Josh moaned as a desire to have that glorious example of male endowment planted up his ravaged butt washed over his mind. Those thoughts caused his own tool to become rock-hard trapped beneath his bound body.
Snapping out of his sexual daydreams, Josh suddenly noticed that the ropes binding him to the bench had begun to loosen a bit. Apparently, Ryan was better at using tape on his victims than he was with rope. Working his hands and wrists around a little, he started to get the ropes free from his body. With one final pull, his arms were loose to remove the rest of his binding. Finally sitting up and removing the spit soaked jockstraps from his mouth, he yelped when the forgotten dildo jammed up into his ass. Slowly pulling the slick anal toy from his sore fuck hole, Josh's erect cock started dripping pre-cum as he remembered how Ryan had shoved the thing roughly into his virgin butt. How Ryan had taunted him with filthy insults as the helpless jock shot a load just from having his hole raped.
Gathering his thoughts, Josh moved over next to Matt's bound body and knelt down. Unable to contain his lust for his gorgeous muscular buddy, he reached out and fondled the blond hunk's thick cock. Leaning down, he placed his lips over Matt's mouth and started kissing him tenderly. This caused the still-bound jock to begin waking-up, and he was startled to feel a set of warm lips planted over his own. When he realized that it was Josh kissing him, Matt moaned with guttural lust and he stuck his tongue into the handsome dude's open mouth. Josh pulled back a bit, and he stroked the side of his best friend's face. With bitter tears streaming down his cheeks, Josh smiled and said, "Oh Matt. I know it sounds queer, but I love you so much. I always have. I want you so bad that it hurts. Fuck, I am such a wimp."
As the embarrassed teen sobbed openly, he started ripping the tape from Matt's sweaty body. When he had his buddy freed, Josh fell to his knees and covered his face with his hands. Matt rubbed the feeling back into his arms and he knelt beside his disturbed pal. Lifting Josh's tear soaked face, he leaned in and lapped up the salty liquid from his masculine buddy's flushed face like a puppy. Smiling broadly, he told Josh, "God, buddy. You taste so good. Oh fuck, you are such a gorgeous hunk. I don't care if it is queer, I love you. Even though it was that fuck-head Ryan's note, just the thought of sucking your sweet rod got me so hard. I'm the one who's a cocksucking pussy-boy."
Totally aroused by Matt's sordid admissions, Josh threw his muscular pal down onto the floor and straddled his butch face with his legs. Dick-slapping the golden-boy's sweet red lips, he drove his pulsing erection into the faggot's mouth when it fell open. Leaning on his arms, Josh did push-ups over his horny lover's prone body as he fucked his face frantically. Matt reached out with his hands and started slapping his buff partner's tensed bubble-butt. The muscular blond's own thick tool was standing straight up from his groin, as he moaned from the taste of the pre-cum leaking from Josh's plunging tool. "Oh baby-stud. Suck my fucking cock like the hungry bitch you are. Yea, my best pal is just a gorgeous muscle-bound dick hound. Oh shit, here it comes, slut. Drink my fucking load of jock spunk, faggot," screamed Josh as his nuts emptied their tasty flow of cream down the queer jock's throat.
Josh slumped down exhausted on top of Matt's muscular body, his limp cock still buried inside the blond hunk's fucked mouth. Gasping for air, Josh's head shot up when he felt several fingers jammed into his vulnerable butt hole. Lifting Josh's sweaty body up from his own, Matt slid out from under the moaning teen's torso. Quickly kneeling behind the dazed jock's pale white buttocks, he spanked Josh's tensed glutes and growled, "OK buddy-boy. I know what you really want. Beg for it, you muscle-bound jock lover." Reaching down beside them on the filthy weight room floor, Matt retrieved a couple of the soggy jockstraps that had been gagging Josh's mouth. The horny hunk wrapped the stained straps around his new boyfriend's muscular neck, and he yanked them back like a pair of reins on a horse.
"Oh shit, man. Please fuck my hungry jock-boy butt. Show me how a muscle stud breaks in a piece of virgin ass. Yea, Matt, rape my hole like I've always wanted. Make me your bitch," groaned a helpless Josh as his secret shameless fantasy was revealed. Plunging only half of his steel-hard rod into his horny lover's rounded butt, Matt could not believe how good Josh's tight teenaged chute felt wrapped around his tool. Poor Josh was so turned on and ready, that he rammed his buns back into Matt's smooth taut groin, impaling himself completely. Matt gasped from the feeling of his low-hanging gonads slapping against his pal's sweet cheeks. The lust-crazed blond jock started pounding the hungry ass before him with brutal intensity.
Both of the newly outed teenaged athletic queers moaned and whimpered as they enjoyed their mutual discovery of each other's depraved pleasures. After a few minutes, Matt paused and flipped Josh over onto his back. Now fucking his handsome boyfriend face-to-face, he leaned forward and started kissing Josh's mouth softly. Josh responded by reaching up and pinching Matt's erect eraser-sized nipples. That pushed the fucking blond stud over the edge, and he pulled out of his lover's ravaged hole just as his nuts snapped. Without even touching his pulsing shaft, he fired huge globs of his male essence all over Josh's hard rippled abdomen. When Matt then slid up his cum-drenched chest and forced his still-erupting cock into Josh's mouth, the totally fucked young jock fisted another load of spunk onto his own heaving crotch.
When Matt collapsed beside his cum-covered torso, Josh crawled on top of his cute blond boyfriend's buff body and he rubbed their sweaty groins together. Leaning on his arms, Josh began to playfully peck at Matt's full lips with his own. Smiling down at his handsome buddy, Josh moaned, "Oh damn, baby. I'm so in love with you. Please say that you'll be my boyfriend. You know, I'm told that I'm quite good-looking and would be a great catch. Too bad the girls that told me that will never get the chance again."
Matt grabbed onto Josh's hair and forced his tongue down into the groaning teen's throat. Spanking the cocky stud's sculpted bubble-buns sharply several times, he yanked the punk's head back, and he growled, "Well, you conceited little slut. You think you're a hung stud, but it's your tight dripping butt-hole that turns me on. Oh yea, I'll be your fucking lover. You better be mine, or I'll slap those sweet firm cheeks until you scream. Every cock-loving pussy in the school would fall over themselves to go steady with the starting quarterback of the football team. You want to be my cock-hungry pussy-boy?" Josh just lowered his head and started sucking on one of Matt's massive pectorals, biting the erect nipple and nursing it like a baby.
In school the following day, both of the jocks confronted Ryan in a secluded hallway and shoved him against a wall. Grabbing onto the struggling athlete's balls, Matt snarled into his ear, "Now listen up, you pathetic closet queer. You're not even man enough to admit your own true desires. Even in your own confused mind, you didn't feel worthy of another butch hunk's body, so you tried to take it by force. Well, your little plan backfired, because Josh and I have now found each other. But if you breath a word of this to anyone else, we'll fucking beat the crap out of you. Of course, maybe you'd like us to do that anyway, punk." Josh ran his hand up under the trapped jock's sweatshirt, and brutally twisted the bodybuilder's erect nipples and growled, "Yea, you fucking faggot.". Ryan let out a whimper, and his muscular body shook as he shot a huge wet spunk load into his jeans.

This time of year I run into a lot of Resolutionists at the track, or gym or pool. On one hand, it is good to see people - and sometimes families - making the effort to get off the couch. On the other, more grumpy hand, I get annoyed by the bigger crowds, the poor lane etiquette and the general lack of awareness with these occasional exercisers. They don't seem to understand that some people might be focused on hitting a certain speed or heart rate and are not that keen on stopping cold from a full sprint just because the person walking in the running lane in front of them has decided to stop, bend over, and tie a shoelace.
Whew! Got that out of my system. Besides, most of them will be gone in a few weeks, sadly. Let me start again.
This time of year I find myself thinking a lot about resolutions. I've never been one for making them. I was the kid who got the failing grade on the "what would you do if you had six months to live?" assignment. I wrote: Exactly what I'm doing right now... Now, even though that wasn't entirely truthful in that I really had no interest being in class and subjected to an overused life planning teaching module, I still believed in the essence of what I wrote. Do what you want to do and don't do what you don't want to do.
Of course, it isn't always practical to only do what you want to do especially with family, work and other obligations. But that doesn't mean you can't find some kernel of interest or curiosity or challenge in everything you do or have to do. I plan my life in such a way that maximizes what I want to do and minimizes what I don't want to do. And I constantly evaluate, so that I don't become too much of an ass or ogre to the people around me - I hope.
So, living this philosophy as best as I can, why would I make a resolution? And especially why make one at the change of the year...don't even get me started about western civilization's bizarre fascination with the turning of the calendar pages.
Training for triathlons and multisports has taught me a few life lessons. One of them is to plan, prepare, practice and perform. There is no room here for an "I resolve to..." How do you enter the water and not drown? How do you get off your bike and still remember how to run? How to you coax gallons of crap down your throat and actually digest it without spewing...while running?
I find this applies to lots of other things in life, such as giving speeches, changing diapers, running a meeting, buying groceries, dealing with an irate caller, convincing a teenager to do chores, saying sorry when I mess up...
I also find that the more I consciously plan, prepare, practice and perform, the easier it gets to do it subconsciously. I have managed to internalize the process without turning into a mantra-chanting freak, not that there would be anything wrong with that, per se.
A few years back, on the morning of the longest, most important triathlon of my life, I remembered some meaningful words a very wise, virtual stranger wrote to me. I wrote them on my hand and looked at them during the 14 hours and 19 minutes it took me to finish my first Ironman.
Did these words get me through the race? Probably not. The planning, preparation and practice did. But those words were an, albeit Sisyphean, reminder of what I had to do to perform.
So as I notice resolutions get made and ignored all around me, I consider my simple objective. From this objective, everything I will do will follow. I keep moving forward.

The Mark of the Beast. It's a money system run by a computer system, is it? This system will be much more advanced than what we know computers today.
I mean there's quantum computers on the horizon. Some people think the Beast will be a big computer and a computer so advanced that in our present time we can not even imagine it.
Technology is advancing all the time. I mean in my teens it was the transistor, in my human dads time it was the valve. So we have seen big strides in a little time between the valve, diode, transistor to the micro chip and so forth. It obviously does not stop there. Knowledge is ever going on.
Is the Beast a later model more advanced computer? I truly do not know. Who knows?
But this Beast will control the money system. There will be no cash. The Mark, on the hand or forehead; will this Mark also affect the heart beat and our respiration system? I mean the Beast; will he be able to control our hearts and minds? The Beast could even kill us through the Mark. The Beast would know all about us; where we are, what we do, may even know what we say.
I see China wants to control this world through money. This makes me think, will the Mark of the Beast originate from China? I don't know. Will there be an enormous big space satellite station orbiting the earth above that is called the Beast? I am just speculating. The Beast sees all, hears all, knows all, and controls all.
Yours Sincerely; Lester John Murray.

As one of the UK's largest homelessness charities, we want to thank your readers for their involvement and helping raise £18,500 so far for people who are homeless by simply putting on their favourite hat, making a donation and helping change someone's life.
St Mungo's Woolly Hat Day took place on Friday 27 January and thousands of people donned beanies, baseball caps and berets and more to help us raise vital funds for our work.
Our St Mungo's vision is that everyone has a place to call home and can fulfil their hopes and ambitions. We provide a bed and support to more than 2,500 people a night who are either homeless or at risk, and work to prevent homelessness.
We support men and women through more than 250 projects including emergency, hostel and supportive housing projects, advice services, specialist physical health, mental health and skills and work services. We believe in our clients' potential. We are committed to every individual's sustainable recovery.
The money raised helps make a real difference to our services such as helping people off the streets. Across the country, for example, people used our unique hat cupcake recipe to bake cakes for us in schools, offices and in their homes at hat parties.
As a homeless charity, our clients are at the heart of what we do.
By putting on a hat for Woolly Hat Day you helped homeless people get ahead.

With tickets on the shuttle almost being sold already, the world is making quite a fuss about colonising the red planet next door. The major motion picture, The Martian, has left us to believe that is plausible to survive on Mars and even grow some very "organic" potatoes, but would you really want to live there? Without wine? Certainly not. And seeing as it costs about $10 000 a pound to send something to space, "exporting" a bottle of wine to Mars isn't exactly in my budget- especially after I have to pay $10 billion just to get there myself. After I've spent that amount of money, I am definitely going to need a glass of wine and if I'm on Mars, it seems I am going to have to make it myself.
Turns out, I'm not that far off thinking that it is possible to grow grapes and make wine on Mars. There has already been successful studies that indicate crops like tomatoes, radishes and peas can not only be grown in simulated Martian soil, but are also safe to eat. Martian "soil" or regolith contains all the macro- and micronutrients that are required to grow grapes. The amounts that are found in the substrate vary on different parts of the planet (as it does here on earth too), so general fertilisation will almost certainly be required. The substrate is unfortunately also very fine and of a dust like nature. This means that it probably has an inadequate water-holding capacity. Previous studies have added grass cuttings as an organic compound to help with the retention of water. Another possibility, of course, is the use of hydroponic systems where nutrients are fed to the roots of the plant through a soilless substrate, usually in the form of liquid fertilizer. As our neighbouring planet is further away from the sun than earth, it experiences much colder temperatures. Winter temperatures near the poles can drop as low as -125 ºC and a summer day near the equator won't get much warmer than 20 ºC. So it's a bit too cold for growing crops on the exposed exterior of the planet, but a simple greenhouse with a controlled atmosphere can easily regulate the temperatures and carbon dioxide levels that the plants are exposed to. Then there is the issue of water, that doesn't really seem to be an issue anymore. In September of 2015 already NASA had announced that I had found evidence of flowing, liquid water on Mars. Although this water is believed to be salty, it may potentially be used for irrigating vines.
Now, at the moment it seems that all "growing operations" on Mars will have to take place in a controlled environment like a greenhouse. We can only hope that one day, future generations will have found ways to plant vineyards on the surface of the red planet and that they will be able to utilise the terroir of the Patera Mountains and other unique terrains found on the surface. Of course the soil will also contribute to the extra-terrestrial terroir and it is important to note that the current surface substrate contains a lot of heavy metals. These will be less desirable characteristics to pick up in your Martian blanc. Again, by the time we get there I'm sure we would have figured out a way to remove all the harmful metals from the soil or the filtered wine.
The production of wine on Mars will not only make the people living there a lot happier (seeing as there is wine to drink), but the social repercussions of such an activity can have an immense impact on a developing community or colony. By involving the community in every step of the process, from the soil preparation to the upkeep of vines to harvesting and ultimately the wine making, a sense of camaraderie is established among them. And at the end of the season they all get to sit down and enjoy the fruits (wines) of their labour together.
The likelihood of all of this happening in our lifetime, is rather slim. It probably won't be another 100 years before we get to taste the first Martian vino. But I am excited for the generations to come and I hope that I can be a part of making this dream become a reality.

Psych Cents
What Are Defense Mechanisms Anyway?
Primary Defense Processes
Defenses or defense mechanisms, begin as healthy adaptations to deal with anxiety, grief, fear, anger, hurt,
etc. They are used to defend the self against threat and to avoid or manage powerful, threatening feelings. Defense
mechanisms help maintain self-esteem and a postiive sense of self.
Psychologists and psychoanalytic thinkers assert that we all have preferred defenses that have become incorporated
into our individuals styles of coping. Our preferences for particular defenses develop from an interaction
of several factors including one's inborn temperament, the defenses our parents modeled for us, the types of stress we
were exposed to in early childhood, and the reinforcement or consequences of using the particular defenses.
There are categories of defenses ranging from primitive defenses (meaning that the defenses originated
in infancy and function on a global, undifferentiated level in a person's total mental/behavioral/feeling experience),
to more mature, advanced defenses, which make specific transformations of thought, feeling, behavior, or some combination.
Primitive defenses include withdrawal, denial, omnipotent control, primitive idealization and devaluation,
projective and introjective identification and splitting of the ego.
Primitive defenses will be focused on first. These defenses involve preverbal development
as exhibited by a lack of reality orientation as well as a lack of the awareness of the separateness and constancy of those
outside of the self.
For example, denial is more primitive because it is thought
to be an instant, nonrational process. "This is not occurring" is a more infantile, magical way of dealing with an unpleasant
reality than for example, repression, which involves: "This occurred, it is too painful, so I will forget about it".
Splitting is another primitive defense mechanism where the person
relegates experiences and/or people into all-good and all-bad categories with no room for ambiguity. It is believed
to derive from a time before the child has developed object constancy. Infants
are thought to perceive mother as all good when they are gratified and perceive her as a bad mother when they are frustrated.
They have not yet developed the capacity to appreciate that she is the same person in each situation whose presence feels
good and bad at times.
Primitive withdrawal is a defense employed
as a self-protective response that is seen in infants. It is automatic and is often seen when the infant is overstimulated
or upset, where the infant will fall asleep. It involves a psychological withdrawal into a different state of consciousness.
Adult versions of this defense can be seen in individuals who retreat from social situations or intimacy with another, substituting
the stimulation of internal fantasy for the anxiety of relating to others, in oversleeping, in becoming bored easily, and
resorting to daydreaming. Some drugs perform a similar function. It involves a psychological escape from reality. On one
hand it is not conducive to intimate relationships in that others feel the individual is unreachable and cold, but on the
other hand, it requires little distortion of reality. When one relies on this defense heavily, the person will generally
prefer solitude to relationship.
Omnipotent control is an infantile state of grandiosity, where
the fantasy is that one is in control of all they come in contact with. This is a normal stage of development for children
but as they mature, they transfer this defense into a phase where the primary caregiver is believed to be all-powerful, evolving
into the real but unattractive fact that no one's power is unlimited. It is speculated by psychologists, that the feeling
that one's power is not boundless is necessary developmentally, where the infant can freely enjoy the illusions of one's own
omnipotence and next, that of the caretakers on whom one depends.
A healthy amount of this omnipotence should remain in us all and contributes to feelings of efficacy and
competence in life. The belief that one can accomplish anything one sets his or her mind to, is an example
of this positive but fantasy-driven belief. For some people, the need to feel this omnipotence and to interpret experiences
as a result of their own power, is more attractive than reality. This exaggerated belief can be seen in the
sociopath or psychopath, where the personality is driven by this defense. Exerting power over others is a
central goal of individuals with omnipotent control as the primary defense used and they gravitate to areas in life where
the potential to wield power is high.
Idealization and devaluation
is believed by psychoanlaysts, to derive from the child's need to believe that the caretakers, mommy or daddy, can protect one
from dangers in life. Children are frightened to confront the realities of hostility, illness, mortality, and other
terrors for the first time, and idealization of the caretakers protects them against overwhelming fear and allows them to
feel protected, cushioned from too severe a blow from reality.
All of us idealize. We carry residues of idealization into adulthood and often idealize our significant
others on whom we depend emotionally. It is a normal and necessary aspect of mature love. The tendency over time
to de-idealize those on whom we depend is also a normal component of development of individuation and mature love. In
its mature form, it allows one to appreciate others for the reality of who they are; imperfect humans who are special to them
in spite of their flaws. It allows one to share and identify with others based on the acceptance of our own imperfect
When we see persons who live life seeking to rank others or objects according to comparative value in contrast
to flawed or defective others, and there appears to be a search for perfection both through merger with the idealized objects/persons
and/or with efforts to perfect the self, the individuals are considered to be narcissistic.
While there are other characteristics of narcissistic personality traits/disorder, their dependence on the defense of idealization
is one of the more obvious characteristics. (Other familiar aspects of narcissism that follow from use of this defense are:
seeking of fame, notority, or popularity, constant reassurance of one's importance to others, the desire
to associate only with individuals who are recognized as being highly important, exceptionally attractive, extremely
intelligent, or 'special' in some publically recognized fashion, their need for recognition of their own often contrived
superiorority or expertise, and their propensity to deprive others of any such recognition or reassurance, as if they are
the only ones worthy of such deference.) The idea that one must perfect the self rather than accept
what one is, in order to love it, results from over-reliance on the use of idealization as a defense.
Devaluation is the expected outcome of the need to idealize. What goes up on the pedastal must come
down, or be knocked down if any flaws are perceived. And the more the object was idealized, the more radical the devaluation
to which it will eventually lead. A typical example of this kind of behavior is in the partner who worships his/her
lover, only to wake up one day and feel nothing for him/her once their lack of perfection is noted. Another example would
be the partner who believes that the significant other should meet his/her needs, caretake and nurture, with no
reciprocation. (This particular form of devaluation where the other is exploited by the narcissist, leads to failed
relationships due to the inevitable resentment by the marginalized partner, who has been exploited and devalued. This
ultimate disatisfaction with the narcissist by the devalued partner, is often experienced by the narcissist, who feels entitled
to preferential treatment, as being devalued himself/herself which leads to rage, rather than seen as the natural consequence
of the narcissist's exploitation of the other, ie; devaluation. It has been observed clinically, that narcissists do
not learn from failed relationships but continue to seek a partner who will recognize their superiority and provide them with
what they feel entitled to.)
Devaluation does not always involve insult and reproach, it often is reflected by ephemeral or fleeting regard
for others, where the one idealizing becomes disenchanted or disinterested with the other, quickly, as seen in narcissistic,
borderline, and histrionic personalities where feelings are not reciprocal in narcissists, unstable with borderlines, and shallow
in histrionic types.
While it is attractive to others to be idealized, as small children idealize their parents, it is necessary
that the parents are eventyually de-idealized. As all mothers have experienced when their idealizing children go
through their teenage years, de-idealization will always follow. Mature de-idealizing leads to healthy reality checking
and appreciation for others.

Two of the most important aspects of having a web site are:
1) Being Found - through search engines, links, advertisements
or e-zines and ..
2) Being Seen - making sure that your visitors can see your
web site and find what they are looking for!
In our last issue we talked about how to POSITION and get
found through search engines. Now we're going to discuss how
to take a critical look at your site and make any needed
changes to make it the best it can be. Remember, the net
is the ultimate competitive field. Your customers won't be
impressed with just a "good site" - it has to be fantastic!
Overall Site Look
Clean, professional and organized look. You only have a few
seconds to make an impression when someone visits your site.
Make it stand out and give your visitors a reason to stay.
Home Page
This page should contain a clear message - what is this site
about? If someone can't figure out what your purpose is in
a few seconds, you should re-design your page. Display clear,
easy to use navigation and links to all sections of your site.
The more content, the better. You can never have too much,
and you can never update frequently enough. Keep your site
fresh with new content weekly.
Communicate with Visitors
Every page should have a link to your email, contact form or
telephone number. Make it easy for visitors to get in touch
with you. The easier you make it, the more business you will
New Technology
Java applets, plug-ins and any other new technology is great
- but not for most sites. They usually make the visitor wait,
download something, or simply crash their browser. Chances
are they won't be back. It's too easy to just click to the

Mega-producer Harvey Weinstein's film resume is chockablock with films attacking the Catholic Church, yet he fails to critique a strain of Islam responsible for thousands of deaths across the globe.
So says Kyle Smith, feisty film critic for The New York Post in a new editorial responding to Weinstein's full-page ad denouncing one of Smith's reviews.
The movie in question is Philomena, a film which slams the Church while taking a swipe or two at the GOP for its treatment of gay party members. None of this is particularly new for Hollywood, an industry which feeds on bashing both Catholicism and conservatism.
The new wrinkle here is Weinstein's ad denouncing a single critic for daring to dislike his product–and calling out its biases in print. It's hard to recall a similar assault on a movie critic for disagreeing with his or her peers.
Smith fired back from the pages of The New York Post today, blasting Weinstein for hitting safe targets with his films.
Harvey Weinstein's resume of anti-Catholic movies includes "The Magdalene Sisters" (2002), "The Butcher Boy" (1998) and "Priest" (1995). If only for the sake of a change of pace, why not be really "transgressive" and "edgy" and "groundbreaking" and all the other things Hollywood people tell themselves they are and poke a sharp stick at Islam? Where's Harvey's satirical comedy about Mohammed or the one about a child-molesting imam? Where's his nine-part HBO series based on "The Satanic Verses?
The only question left, perhaps, is if other film critics will rally to Smith's side or let the bullying tactics of a powerful Hollywood producer stand unchallenged.

Dr. Kochenderfer's research is aimed at developing T-cell therapies for hematogic malignancies. T cells normally play a critical role in fighting infections. Under certain circumstances, T cells can exert a powerful and specifically-targeted anti-malignancy effect. Dr. Kochenderfer's current laboratory work involves genetic engineering of T cells with genes encoding chimeric antigen receptors that target malignancy-associated antigens. This work has led to two clinical trials in which patients receive infusions of T cells that are genetically engineered to specifically recognize and eliminate cells expressing the CD19 antigen, which is expressed by most B-cell lymphomas and B-cell leukemias. These clinical trials have produced the first evidence that genetically-engineered T cells can eliminate CD19-expressing cells in humans.

To see how hired and non-owned auto exposures could involve your business, consider these loss scenarios…
Scenario 1
Sally Jones works for ABC Tech and drives to the bank each week, as a requirement of her job. One day, Sally drives to the bank and makes a deposit. On her way back to the office, she runs a red light, causing a collision with another vehicle. Both vehicles are totaled. There are serious injuries to the other vehicle's occupants, one of whom is a small child. Sally is charged with failure to stop for a red signal light.
The subsequent investigation revealed that:
- Sally carried only the state-mandated minimum limits of $50,000 of automobile liability coverage.
- Sally's MVR showed that she had three speeding tickets within the last two years and had been cited for failure to yield at an intersection. TECHNOLOGY BEST PRACTICES 1 Look Under the Hood of Your Business for Common Auto Exposures TECHNOLOGY BEST PRACTICES / Look Under the Hood of Your Business for Common Auto Exposures 2 As a result of the collision, the following actions take place:
- The other driver and the other driver's insurance company bring a claim against Sally and her insurer under Sally's policy.
- Sally's insurance company pays its policy limit of $50,000. However, the total value of the claim is set at $1,000,000.
- The other driver hires an attorney and names Sally and ABC Tech as co-defendants in a lawsuit, seeking the remaining damages and alleging that:
- Sally was negligent for failing to stop for a traffic control device, driving recklessly and speeding.
- ABC Tech was negligent for failing to perform due diligence before permitting Sally to operate a motor vehicle on company business – and for not securing a copy of Sally's MVR, not properly evaluating it, and not properly supervising the employee.
- ABC Tech is vicariously liable for Sally's actions because Sally's negligence occurred while she was performing a work-related errand.
If the plaintiff is successful in the lawsuit, ABC Tech could potentially be responsible for $950,000 in damages:
$1,000,000 Total claim value
– $50,000 Sally's policy limit
$ 950,000 Damages ABC Tech would have to pay
What's more, if the jury determines that punitive damages are warranted, the costs could be two to three times the $950,000 underlying damage amount.
Scenario 1
Requiring employees who drive on company business to have adequate liability limits is important, but it's not enough. Employers also need to verify that the required limits are maintained.
The following scenario is based on a true situation, although the names and some of the facts have been changed. It demonstrates why businesses should also verify that employees carry adequate liability limits for the personal vehicles they use on company business.
Joan Smith, a manager for XYZ Medical Technology, was driving home in her personal vehicle from an industry trade- show. While negotiating a curve, Joan lost control of her minivan, crossed the median, returned back through the westbound lanes, and came to rest more than 60 feet into the woods. The front-seat passenger, Joan's 10 year-old daughter, Cindy, was ejected and landed 110 feet from the vehicle. Cindy was not wearing a seatbelt and died en route to the hospital.
As a result of the accident: • Cindy's father, Joe, made a wrongful death claim against Joan, his ex-wife. • Joe's attorney used an economist to estimate Cindy's future loss of income (without regard to consumption). Damages included the loss of enjoyment of life for the deceased. • A survival action included damages for recovery of Cindy's medical expenses before she died, and for her pain and suffering. XYZ required employees who drive their personal vehicles on company business to carry a minimum limit of $300,000 of personal liability coverage. However, Joan's personal auto policy had limits of only $25,000/ $50,000. XYZ's insurance company established a $1,500,000 reserve to pay for the claim and litigation. This case reinforces that employers should have a procedure to verify that required limits are in place for employees who use personal vehicles on company business. This should be an ongoing process, not a one-time risk management function. In this case, however, even if Joan had carried the required limits, XYZ would have had some exposure in an accident this serious. Other risk management steps discussed below are designed to minimize the chances of this type of accident occurring.

I've been wearing this dress for about a month straight now - that's how much I love it! Yet another variation of the washi dress, and my favorite one so far! For this one I skipped the bodice facing and just finished the collar with bias tape.
Also, you will notice in the photos that my summer look includes pig tails and no makeup. :) Welcome to my world. I can't be bothered with those details when there are berries to pick and children to chase.

Mobile devices account for more than half of all Internet traffic in the US. That's why ReadyMadeWeb designed Liberty Fund's Library of Law & Liberty to look great on any device.
One of the highlight of this site is the Liberty Law Talk series of podcasts. By using simple podcasting plugins for WordPress, setup of this functionality was a breeze, leaving more time for host Richard Reinsch to do great interviews.
In addition to the fully mobile-responsive design, ReadyMadeWeb has created iOS and Android apps for The Library of Law and Liberty. The apps allow users to cache articles for reading when they are away from an Internet connection, like when commuting via subway.

Success Profile: Dyna Be Smart "Beaker"
Breed: Quarter Horse
Age: 2
Discipline: Reining
Owner: Michelle Reeser
At the beginning of the year, Beaker entered reining training, and I decided that it was time to start him on a supplement to support digestive health and help manage the stress that can come from training and traveling. I chose SmartDigest Ultra because it had all of the ingredients that I was looking for, including yeast. The bonus of the supplement is ColiCare, SmartPak's colic surgery reimbursement program. I love having the peace of mind that I may be eligible for $7500, of colic surgery reimbursement should I ever need it.

Structural highlights
[PTN1_HUMAN] Tyrosine-protein phosphatase which acts as a regulator of endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response. Mediates dephosphorylation of EIF2AK3/PERK; inactivating the protein kinase activity of EIF2AK3/PERK. May play an important role in CKII- and p60c-src-induced signal transduction cascades. May regulate the EFNA5-EPHA3 signaling pathway which modulates cell reorganization and cell-cell repulsion.[1] [2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) displays a preference for peptides containing acidic as well as aromatic/aliphatic residues immediately NH(2)-terminal to phosphotyrosine. The structure of PTP1B bound with DADEpYL-NH(2) (EGFR(988)(-)(993)) offers a structural explanation for PTP1B's preference for acidic residues [Jia, Z., Barford, D., Flint, A. J., and Tonks, N. K. (1995) Science 268, 1754-1758]. We report here the crystal structures of PTP1B in complex with Ac-ELEFpYMDYE-NH(2) (PTP1B.Con) and Ac-DAD(Bpa)pYLIPQQG (PTP1B.Bpa) determined to 1.8 and 1.9 A resolution, respectively. A structural analysis of PTP1B.Con and PTP1B.Bpa shows how aromatic/aliphatic residues at the -1 and -3 positions of peptide substrates are accommodated by PTP1B. A comparison of the structures of PTP1B.Con and PTP1B.Bpa with that of PTP1B.EGFR(988)(-)(993) reveals the structural basis for the plasticity of PTP1B substrate recognition. PTP1B is able to bind phosphopeptides by utilizing common interactions involving the aromatic ring and phosphate moiety of phosphotyrosine itself, two conserved hydrogen bonds between the Asp48 carboxylate side chain and the main chain nitrogens of the pTyr and residue 1, and a third between the main chain nitrogen of Arg47 and the main chain carbonyl of residue -2. The ability of PTP1B to accommodate both acidic and hydrophobic residues immediately NH(2)-terminal to pTyr appears to be conferred upon PTP1B by a single residue, Arg47. Depending on the nature of the NH(2)-terminal amino acids, the side chain of Arg47 can adopt one of two different conformations, generating two sets of distinct peptide binding surfaces. When an acidic residue is positioned at position -1, a preference for a second acidic residue is also observed at position -2. However, when a large hydrophobic group occupies position -1, Arg47 adopts a new conformation so that it can participate in hydrophobic interactions with both positions -1 and -3.
Structural basis of plasticity in protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B substrate recognition.,Sarmiento M, Puius YA, Vetter SW, Keng YF, Wu L, Zhao Y, Lawrence DS, Almo SC, Zhang ZY Biochemistry. 2000 Jul 18;39(28):8171-9. PMID:10889023[3]

Hi I'm using your book to learn Corona and I'm learning a lot, one suggestion though for any future updates, discerning your code in black and white vs what I'm seeing on screen is difficult. It's easy to lose my place, and in some areas with comments some lines are placed in a way that makes you think it's part of a normal line of code. Please color code your stuff via sublime since thats what most of us will be using.
Dear Sir
How is the book for preparing to be the corona certify developer?
I am waiting for it.
Best Regards
I Purchased the ebook version of the Learning Mobile app Development and the Beginning App & Game and got PDF versions of each rather than ebook. How do I get the Ebook version?
Hi Dr. Burton,
I have read your comments and other related.
Just onething i knew that you are preparing the document for the corona certify developer.
How was it, Sir?
and How can I find it?
I want to become corona certify developer.
I am waiting for your repson,
Best regard,
Seng Keat
Dr Burton,
I recently purchased your book "Mobile App Development with Corona". I am enjoying the book however cannot find where to download the "code examples, graphics, and other tools", you mention on page 3. Where can I get the link to download them.
thank you,

Thank you very much!
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kindest regards,
Bought paid for e-book but wanted PDF. Got no reply???
I am trying to find the examples and graphics you say I can download on your site… but i cannot find them… any help??
My name is Greg. I live in Poland.
I just begun my story with Unity 3D.
I found your email at youtube.pl tutorials.
I would like to ask you about script in IPhone or android. Could you write something like that ?
It would very help me, because I change job in game designer in iOS,
and I have to show. Later, I will not be programmed only to design the graphics and levels.
This script must do :
– find touch (when we put two fingers on screen, then script must appear a some object "cube")
– when our fingers touched and move then our object move too (object fallow to fingers).
– when we rotate fingers on screen, our object rotate too.
Sorry for my English
Please feedback , Thanks in advance.
Best Regards, Greg
I like your project – contact my about the sound loops…

iBeacon is Apple's wireless standard that enables communication with nearby mobile devices and has the ability to resolve customer's location in a store within inches. iBeacon communication takes place between a broadcaster (a beacon device) and a receiver (an iOS or Android device with an installed app), through Bluetooth Low Energy protocol, also known as Bluetooth Smart.
Beacons themselves are small electronic devices powered by cell-coin batteries. They have an adjustable signal range of maximum 230 feet and a battery life that extends up to several years.
Each beacon emits signal that announces its presence. When a customer walks in the proximity of a beacon, its signal triggers the app installed on the customer's smartphone. This process enables the delivery of personalized offers and vehicle information to the customer's smartphone screen.
How It Works
Within the dealership, iBeacon devices are placed in strategic locations such as the entry, or within different areas such as the showroom or a sales lot. To ensure the best marketing performance, optimal placement is usually carefully considered under the guidance of an iBeacon deployment specialist.
After beacons are in place, you are ready to start designing marketing campaigns through a user-friendly iBeacon management console. Delivery of marketing content can begin once customers install the dealership's app and enable Bluetooth on their mobile devices. This process allows the app to listen for the beacon signals and respond to them. When a signal is detected, it initiates the delivery of content to the users' smartphone screens.
Performance of each marketing campaign can be precisely calculated from the data collected by the management console. The console gives insight into customers' interaction with the dealership environment and their responses to the promotions they were targeted with.
Use Cases
- Invite customers to the showroom or the sales lot when they are passing by with an announcement of new vehicles, newest model features, or special unadvertised offers and promotions;
- Guide customers to vehicles or automotive products that interest them. After tapping on a vehicle image or department name, they can be directed through the dealership by interactive maps and turn-by-turn instructions;
- Push out unique personalized offers or discounts to the customers' smartphones;
- Furnish detailed vehicle information;
- Provide information on financing a vehicle purchase, or details on a car leasing option;
- Enable customers to request a sales assistant's help, pass on a contact request, or request a test drive appointment;
- Stimulate customers to shop more frequently with a customer reward system that awards points for walking into the dealership, purchasing parts and accessories, or having recommended service performed at the dealership.
- iBeacon is an affordable, accessible and scalable technology that can be deployed for global or national dealership chains or individual specialty dealerships.
- Bluetooth Low Energy is a very battery-friendly technology. The smartphone app in background mode consumes very little power, and beacon transmitters can attain a battery life of several years.
- iBeacon technology is location agnostic and can be utilized anywhere. A beacon's location awareness is centered on the device itself so that the devices can be attached to a wall, a rack of wheel designs, displays, or individual cars.
- iBeacon solution allows you to convey specific, customized offers to car shoppers based on prior sales, current car ownership, loyalty programs, or interest in a particular vehicle during the visit.
- By means of special offers and discounts targeted to the current visit, iBeacon technology efficiently avoids "showrooming" where a customer compares prices, payment options, offers and inventory at competing dealers while on your lot.
- iBeacon can help dealership customers navigate around large sales lots.
- It gathers feedback from customers in a non-intrusive way from their prior purchases and through their interactions with beacon devices deployed throughout the dealership.
- iBeacon solution drives sales by attracting customers onto the dealers lot, by providing immediate access to detailed information about cars of interest, and providing competitive offers and promotions that lead to the gratification of a successful sale.
