Unique feature of Indian cultural heritage is rock-cut chambers - cave temples and monasteries. In total there are more than 1,500 such temples spread out throughout the country containing incomprehensible amount of art values - paintings, sculptures, inscriptions. Archaeological and historical investigations of this extremely rich heritage has taken many exciting years of numerous scientists but there still is almost endless work to be done.
One of the best known and most impressive groups of cave temples is Ajanta Caves - these impressive structures form a popular tourist destination. These caves contain some of the richest collections of ancient art in region. Ajanta art inspired numerous artists of the late 19th - early 20th centuries, many people were essentially obsessed with copying Ajanta paintings, there have been written numerous books about this phenomenal achievement of humanity.
Incredible accomplishment of ancient stonecutters
Ajanta Caves served as an extremely important religious centre of Central Indian empires and, although located in hard-to access canyon, mirrored the political and social development of Central India.
First Buddhist caves in the vertical walls of the 75 metres deep (vertical wall is not that high, this height includes talus) Waghora River canyon were created more than 2,000 years ago. During the Sātavāhana dynasty in the 2nd - 1st century BC early Buddhist monks did something what is hard to do even today - they managed to carve huge halls in the hard basalt rock of Deccan trap.
Zenith of Ajanta though came in 460 - 480 AD, during Vakataka dynasty. Then Indian stonecutters had to master art which was almost forgotten. For three centuries there were not created any cave temples in India and thus numerous people had to learn unique skills - to learn it in hard way, by doing.
Cave chambers were not just rough hollows - stonecutters made whole interiors with columns, doorways, arched windows - everything was made by hollowing the solid rock as if it was cheese. Even more - up to 6 metres high columns, walls, ceilings were decorated with amazing bas-reliefs, often the flat walls were covered with beautiful, colourful murals.
Layout was marked on cliff face and the works started from above and went downwards until reaching the floor level. Basic work was done with sharp pick-axes, then the cliff face was levelled by hammer and chisel. This hard work was done with a great precision. Largest spaces without supports reach 21 x 15 metres - slightly smaller than basketball field. But, if counting the supports, the halls are significantly larger - ancient stonecutters had quite good knowledge of structural engineering and with great skill planned the use of lintels and columns to create durable constructions.
Originally caves were accessible by separate stairways from below, from the edge of water. Nowadays access is much simpler - along the terrace there leads a road with nearly direct access to most cave temples.
Chaitya grihas and viharas
Caves No. 9, 10, 19, 26 are ancient sanctuaries - chaitya-grihas. Other caves though are created as monasteries - viharas.
Several chaitya-grihas are the most ancient monuments in Ajanta, for most part created in the 2nd - 1st century BC. They are characterised by horse-shoe shaped bay above the doorway and central nave which is divided from side aisles with colonnade. Side aisles open in the apsis where was located stupa - reliquary. It was possible to go behind stupa - rear wall in the plan is semicircular. Thus in several aspects these ancient temples are similar to contemporary Christian churches.
Here, as it is seen in many ancient stone structures around the world, architecture is modelled after wooden architecture. Earlier structures were modelled after the simpler Hinayana cave temples.
20 viharas are newer - built during the years of ambitious patronage of Vakataka kings. Concept of construction of Buddhist temples underwent revolution sometimes around 460 - 470 AD and as a result the initially planned comparatively simple dormitories turned out to be complex, sophisticated religious complexes. They included shrine at the far end of structure with a focus on large Buddha statue. Sculpting Buddha was allowed comparatively recently and artists used image of Buddha to show him present among the monks.
It seems that simultaneous building of 20 viharas, each patroned by separate influential authority, rised rivalry among architects and artists, thus adding much splendour to Ajanta Caves.
Viharas of Ajanta belong to most ornate and rich structures known from ancient times with numerous statues on facades and inside the structures. In many aspects the art in Ajanta symbolises the golden age of ancient Indian culture, especially during the reign of emperor Harishena of Vakataka dynasty.
Beautiful paintings and sculptures
Several chambers of Ajanta contain some of the best paintings in Buddhist religious art. Ajanta contains also the oldest known Indian paintings from the 2nd century BC.
Paintings of Ajanta are frescoes. In Ajanta murals were made in a specific way, involving several stages of work. First the surface was prepared - stone surface was chiseled to make rough surface holding the plaster. Then there was laid plaster consisting of clay, lime, hay and dung. Paintings were made while the plaster was wet and colors were made of minerals and plants.
This technique allowed to make paintings which preserved much of their original glory even after 1,500 years of abandonment in tropical climate.
Plastering was done by really skillful artisans - even some of sculptures were plastered to get effect of smoothness. Unusual shine was achieved by adding powdered conches and seashells - such polished plaster has glassy surface.
Paintings of women in Ajanta are world-renowned - women in these drawings are beautiful. How else? Many of woman paintings and sculptures depict such mythical beings as yakshas, nagas, vrikshikas, river goddesses Ganga and Yamuna. Supernatural beauty is part of the essence of such beings.
Time is relentless - some paintings miraculously have survived but many things have changed. Statues of Buddha nowadays have rugged, uncolored surface - but many centuries ago they most likely were smooth and covered with bright colors.
Sometimes it is mentioned that the painting technique in Ajanta is not fresco, it is mural. This is somewhat confusing announcement - as if somebody would say that herring is not a herring but a fish. Fresco is characterised by application of paint on a wet plaster - thus ensuring long life of colors. Exactly this was made in Ajanta. And finally - any fresco is mural. Mural simply is painting on a wall, ceiling or similar large surface.
With the grandiose fall of Vakataka empire sometimes around 480 AD Ajanta Caves were abandoned - within few months after the death of Harishena all the influential patrons of Ajanta Caves fled and Buddhist monasteries lost any support. Some of paintings seem to be abandoned in hurry - just few hours were needed to make them ready, but some sudden events made further work impossible or useless.
The year of abandonment still is challenged by some scientists - some consider that temples were inhabited up to the 7th century AD, there is report from Chinese pilgrim Hieun Tsang from the 7th century - he saw these monasteries full with life.
Forbidding canyon of Waghora River soon grew over with dense jungle. This might seem impossible - but the amazing, otherworldy beauty created and admired by many generations faded away from the memory of people. Once filled with life, beautiful caves were silent and undisturbed for approximately 1,100 - 1,300 years. Imagine... 1,300 years!
...and found again
Officer of British army, captain John Smith was hunting a tiger in April 28, 1819. He followed the trail and entered the gorge. Back then the cliff walls were covered with dense vegetation - but captain noticed a hollow through the interlaced roots and shoots.
Captain Smith left his name on the wall in this cave - this inscription still is faintly visible up to this day - out of reach now as the debris has been removed.
Description of caves - one by one
In total there are 29 - 30 cave chambers in Ajanta. Caves traditionally are numbered starting with the one closest to the village.
Cave 1 - royal vihara
One of the best preserved cave chambers in group, considered to be the most splendid Buddhist vihara in India. Possibly created to be a imperial cave of king Harishena. Paintings look fresh and are not damaged by sooth - thus it is possible that this cave was not used by monks.
Some details though have perished such as portico with two pillars seen in photographs from the 19th century. Cave can be entered through three doorways, two windows are located between doorways.
The facade of cave is adorned with elaborate, exquisite carvings depicting scenes from life of Buddha. Porch still contains remnants of murals which once covered most of the spacious porch.
Main hall is some 6 m high with a shrine located at the rear wall. Shrine contains statues of seated Buddha. There are cells along the walls of the main hall.
Paintings covering walls are in rather good state of conservation and belong to the best examples of ancient Indian art.
Cave 2 - vihara
This monastery building is even better preserved than Cave 1. Contains exquisite, well preserved paintings on walls, ceilings and pillars. Design of porch differs from Cave 1, massive pillars are ornamented, walls covered with murals depicting the life of Buddha in his former incarnations as Bodhisattva. Contains also smaller shrines to lesser deities.
This cave in general is very rich with paintings - in some areas well preserved, in other - nearly lost.
Cave 4 - vihara
The largest vihara in Ajanta Caves, created in the 5th century. Partly collapsed, most likely during the construction.
Inscription on the pedestal of Buddha in this vihara tells that the sculpture is a religious gift from private person.
Cave 5 - vihara
Never completed - basically only porch, door and short distance after the door have been made. Still this cave contains beautiful sculptures.
Cave 6 - vihara
The only double-story structure in Ajanta Caves. Walls of this cave are covered with thick layer of sooth from incense and lamps, damaging the exquisite artwork. Diverse paintings include a figure of devotee kneeling before Buddha.
Cave 7 - vihara
Intented as an enormous vihara but not completed. Only very elaborate porch with few more details has been built. Exquisite paintings of the porch lost due to smoke.
Cave 8 - vihara
Ancient structure, belonging to Hinayana school, created in the 2nd - 1st century BC.
Cave 9 - sanctuary
Ancient structure, belonging to Hinayana school, created in the 2nd - 1st century BC. Contains ancient paintings which have been repainted at some later time. This is the cave which was discovered by Captain Smith in 1819 and it bears his inscription in pencil.
Cave 10 - sanctuary
The oldest (as far as archaeological knowledge about Ajanta goes) structure in Ajanta dating from the 2nd century BC, architecture testifies its belonging to Hinayana school. Contains ancient paintings which have been repainted at some later time.
Cave 11 - vihara
Possibly the oldest cave from the second period of Ajanta - from the 5th century.
Cave 12 - vihara
Ancient structure, belonging to Hinayana school, created in the 2nd - 1st century BC.
Cave 13 - vihara
Ancient structure, belonging to Hinayana school, created in the 2nd - 1st century BC.
Cave 14 - vihara
Made in the late 5th century, never completed. Basically there is made rough doorway with sculptures of yakshis.
Cave 15 - vihara
Ancient structure, belonging to Hinayana school, created in the 2nd - 1st century BC.
Cave 16 - vihara
One of the best placed caves in the middle of complex. Cave chamber is adorned with beautiful paintings. Two elephant statues at the base of stairway leading to the cave. Porch is damaged.
Inscription testifies that this cave is dedicated to the Buddhist Sangha by Vaharadeva, the influential prime minister of king Harishena (around 475-500 AD). There are numerous important inscriptions rising scientific discussion about the history of Central India in 460 - 480 AD.
Cave 17 - vihara
The richest collection of beautiful murals (especially ceiling), though in many places damaged by sooth from incense and lamps. Interesting accent is depiction of ancient Persian - Sassanian servant holding a Sassanian vessel on the left rear wall.
Inscription testifies that this structure is a gift of prince in time of king Harishena (around 475-500 AD).
Cave 18 - vihara
Initially - possible side shrine, part of Cave 19. Over the time though developed as a cut-through between Cave 17 and Cave 19.
Cave 19 - sanctuary
Magnificent chaytia from the late 5th century. Contains remnants of paintings including depictions of Buddha considered to be innovative by some art historicians. Facade of porch is very rich with adonrments.
Cave 20 - vihara
Shrine from the 5th century AD. Contains impressive stairway while chamber has little of interest to offer. Cave contains murals - including depictions of mundane joys such as hunting.
Cave 21 - vihara
The first cave behind periodic waterfall. Vihara from the 5th century AD, unfinished. Porch is well adorned and preserved.
Cave 23 - vihara
Mostly unfinished, porch though contains interesting figures.
Cave 24 - vihara
Mostly unfinished but doorway is beautifully carved. Sculptures of two river goddesses on upper corners of doorway. It is calculated that approximately 200 people were working here when works unexpectedly terminated.
Cave 26 - sanctuary
Created in the late 5th century, a group of structures. Contains interesting drawings resembling a style of drawings at Ellora Caves. Porch adorned with numerous statues of Buddha as well as numerous other subjects. Famous sculptural group is Parinirvana scene along the whole length of cave.
Painting on ceiling includes the usual lotus-lake motive, but here several geese are added among lotuses.
Cave 27 - vihara
Contains paintings at the right end of the front aisle as well as inscription which informs that monk - painter here attained transcendental personage through painting images of Buddha.
Cave 29 - sanctuary
Here starts a fall of Vaghora River with seven cascades (sat-kund). Cave chamber is not finished, made in the 5th century.

Macromolecular interactions required for alphavirus assembly

Alphaviruses are small, enveloped viruses found in worldwide distribution. The virion organization of this genus of viruses is quite elegant. The single stranded, genomic RNA is surrounded by multiple, symmetric layers which interact with each other. The inner layer is composed of 240 identical copies of the nucleocapsid protein, whereas the outer layer consists of 240 copies each of two different viral glycoproteins, E1 and E2. Although the assembly of these layers is an integral part of the alphavirus life cycle, relatively little is known about the requirements for this process. This project has made progress in defining in molecular detail the interactions which are necessary for assembly of the virion. Using mutational analyses and structural studies, specific amino acids and motifs which are essential for alphavirus assembly have been identified. On the basis of this experimental evidence, a model which encompasses the steps involved in the assembly pathway has been developed. This model traces the fate of at least three interactions required for alphavirus assembly: specific recognition and binding of the viral RNA by the NCP, interaction of the NCP subunits to form the intact core, and binding of the assembled NC to the glycoproteins which results in budding of the nascent virion from the host cell. The data suggest that specific RNA recognition of the viral RNA occurs through the binding of ten amino acids from the nucleocapsid protein to a specific sequence of viral RNA. Subsequent assembly of the nucleocapsid core probably occurs through discrete assembly intermediates, either dimers or capsomeres. The amino acids involved in maintaining these assembly intermediates have been identified, and mutational analyses have confirmed their importance. Additional studies have suggested that budding of the assembled core is driven by the binding of the outer glycoproteins to the inner nucleocapsid core. This is achieved through the interaction of two hydrophobic amino acids on the cytoplasmic domain of E2 and a hydrophobic pocket found on the surface of the assembled core. The interaction results in wrapping of the membrane and glycoproteins around the inner core and budding. ^

The Magic of Presence -3- The Date
OMG! Can this guy get any more gorgeous?! He's just sitting there across from me at the little table, and he keeps smiling wider giving me those dimples that are driving me insane. Where has this guy been all my life? He talks sooo smoothly, with such grace, and he listens as well, and I'm wondering why,...why he's not giving me that 'look', as we're pretty close together, and the 'magic' should have grabbed him by now.
I mean, seriously, not that I need it to hook up with someone, but this guy isn't giving me any of the classic signs of being...taken by it. I wonder...? So, I'm sitting here, resting an elbow on the table, my chin in my hand, listening to him, and I find myself just staring into those deep eyes, and those dimples, and those gorgeous teeth, and those..., I look up, as the server has walked up setting our order down in front of us, and then poured more iced tea. I smiled up, knowing this guy that's waiting on us, he's from one of my classes, and he's giving me the 'look', and I know that he's a 'sniffer' as well. I try to ignore him, and maybe he'll just go away, and turn my focus back to Seth, God he's just so frickin beautiful! The server is lingering for a long time, and I'm starting to get annoyed, he's distracting me. I look up and give him a wide eyed look, like; go away, dipshit, I'm busy here! Finally he gets it, breaks his fog and walks off, I'll tip him heavy when we're done...Seth! I smile back at him as we slowly start to eat. He's even gorgeous when he puts food in his mouth! Jesus! My mind is going ninety miles an hour right now. He's not affected by the 'magic'! Holy Hell! This is awesome! The server dude was falling apart and Seth is completely unaffected. I am so in love right at this moment!
"You okay? Devin?"
"Huh?" I snapped around. "I'm sorry...I guess I zoned out for a second."
"Maybe that hit to the head with the volleyball did something to you?" He smiled that sexy even smile of his. Oh, yeah, I'm so in love, well, with a whole lot of lust on top of it, but, yeah, this is love.
"Uh, no." I said and then got embarrassed about that stupid move from earlier today. I guess I blushed, cause he smiled again, showing dimples, I'm melting so bad right now. "Had a hard class today, and it was running through my mind all of a sudden." I smiled really big for him, and he gave me dimples again. "You know, that was unfair of me, to drift off like that, won't happen again, promise."
"Wow, okay." His eyes opened wide, and the smile dropped. "You don't have to make me promises."
"No big deal, thought it needed saying, that's all." I looked down at my plate.
"That's sweet of you though." Seth's sweet sexy voice was sending me to the clouds, I lifted my eyes, and gave him the soft sexy look. He looked back at me, now with a new look, a longing, a need that was down deep. I realized that I didn't need the 'magic' for him, and it was a new experience for me, as I also realized that I had become dependent on using the 'magic' to get what I wanted, and the realization was, and smack, another hit to the back of the head, from myself, this time...duh, that I had been a complete asshole to a good many people because of it. What a fuckup I am!
We ate pretty much in silence getting through dinner, which was awesome, and the food was really why I came here, not the service, even though the servers were hot, and I had had most of them from campus, and they were already 'sniffers', fuck, there I go again, being the asshole...man! Focus, isn't that what Jimmie said today, focus? Yeah, and this guy, this absolutely gorgeous guy was right in front of me, a guy who could stop a clock with his looks, man, yeah, I'm idiot for not paying attention. Dinner was over and we were both pretty much done. He sat back to just relax, and I stared at him intensely. He saw it, and I think deep down he appreciated it, but I also think that it bothered him a little.
"So, you want to tell me what is really on your mind?" Seth gave a look that had a devilish undertone to it, and I hoped I was reading the signs right.
"What do you mean?"
"It looks like there's something...eating at you. I don't mean to make you upset or anything, but if you need to talk about it, I'm willing to listen." Seth said, with true genuine concern in his voice and his eyes. I was so boning in my jeans. And I thought that Vinnie was marriage material? OMG! Can this guy get any more perfect?! Fuck!
"It's hard to talk about, really." I said, really needing a true drink right about now. A bar, we need to go to a bar and then I could my spill to him, or on him, or in him, whatever the fuck he wanted, ugh!
"Well, I find it's easier to just say it, and then work it out from there." Seth said, giving me the dimples again. Jeez, was he a psych major too? Fuck!
"Yeah, it's kind of...complicated."
"Oh, jeez, is there...someone else that you're..."
"Whoa!" I held up a hand, knowing where and what he was asking, "No, there is no one else, and I am single."
"That's a relief." He said, looking more at ease now. I sighed to myself as well, and then smiled.
"You were worried." I said, trying to take control, my normal bullshit I suppose.
"I wouldn't want to step on anyone's toes." He lifted an eyebrow at me.
"If there was anyone else, I don't think they would mind at all." I was doing my best at charm, and obviously failed as he looked at me with a strange look. "I mean, look at you, you're....breath taking." He blushed, and looked down. "No, I'm serious," I said quickly, "you really are, and I'm just...well..." He looked at me and chuckled a little.
"You know, can I tell you something?"
"Anything you want." I said through a sigh, as I rested my chin in my hand, giving him the soft sexy look.
"I have to be honest, I was kind of stalking you." He almost gulped with his confession, it was cute, and I knew I had him, "I saw you up in the seats with the girl that came down to talk to the professor and me, and I got it out of her, finally, where you were going. I just wanted to talk to you, if I had the chance."
"Really?" I asked, knowing Tricia the way I did, it's a wonder he got a word in edgewise. "What did she say?"
"Well, that you played volleyball out behind the gym a few times a week, and that it was probably best to catch you there. That's why I walked by when I did." He blushed, and then looked down. I wanted him so bad, I was ready to do him right here, right now....control....
"So, what do you want to do now?" I asked in a coy tone. He smiled again, giving me the dimples, I was so boned up in my jeans, it was going to be an hour at least before it went down!
"Well, we could go to my room." He said plainly, there was no suggestion, no beating around about it, just flat telling me, that's the way it was going to be.
"Okay!" I said, rather loudly, giving him a startled look. He calmed himself almost immediately and then went to get up, reaching for his back pocket. I stood up, reaching out a hand, touching his arm. "I've got it." I said, matter of fact, and pulled out some cash and dropped it on the table. "I suggested this place, I've got it."
"Yeah, but..."
"No, no, no, no." I said waving a finger in the air, "I insist." He let it go, but gave a look that I'll never forget, like don't do it again. I smiled at him, and then he brightened, when he looked down at my jeans, then back up into my eyes. OH YEAH! He likes what he sees for sure! We walked away together, and started back toward the campus. There were several trees and bushes along the way as we walked back toward his hall. We started to hold hands as we walked, I wanted to hurry and maybe go on a dead run with him, but he had other ideas, very clearly other ideas. He would stop me now and then, turn me, and kiss me, softly, sensually, then look in my eyes. I was going to explode inside, and in my jeans if we didn't hurry. But, he slowed me, lead me, showed me what he wanted, and it was romance, charm, grace, not just some gutter fuck or backroom thing that I was used to. Yeah, slut, remember? This was pretty new to me, and it slowly dawned on me that I liked it...a lot! He is so fucking hot! And he can kiss too! Instead of the ten minute walk to the bistro, it was like thirty to get back to his room, with all the stops and him just...doing things...to me.
We got up to the second floor, stopping on the stairs of course for a long couple of minutes as he ran his tongue down my throat, and grabbed my ass. His hands are so awesome! I was so breathing hard when he got me in the room at the top of the stairs, which was small, but it was his alone, no roomie! Great! There was this big couch like thing against the wall, that was more like a lounge. He guided me over to it and slowly lay me on it, covering me with his body, hands were all over the place, his, mine, as he kissed me deep, and I mean deep. I almost gagged on the length of his tongue, but I so loved it, as I sucked it tight as he dove in and he moaned when I did it. He flipped one of my switches, and I went into major overdrive, clawing at his clothes, trying to get him out of them, and he pulled his tongue back, and then got up on his knees, over me, holding himself up with one hand on the lounge, looking at me with such a soft wanting look. I clawed at the shirt, getting it off him, and saw what was under it. He was so frickin ripped, and I thought I had abs. His nipples were medallions the size of a half dollar and flat, so golden in color against that tanned skin, they almost blended. I raised up, running my hands and arms around his waist and buried my face over his left one, clamping my mouth, sucking, licking with my tongue tip and he moaned again, I loved it, another switch was flipped, and then I moved to the other quickly doing the same thing, he groaned this time, using his free hand to clasp the back of my head, pulling me deeper to his muscled pec. I was getting so lost, and as he supported my weight with his hand and arm, I moved my hands down quickly and undid his jeans, unzipping them, and felt his bulge in his underwear, popping up, trying to get out, I rubbed it with my fingertips through the material. He moaned as I worked him, with my mouth and my fingers. He wanted more, I could tell, as he let me slowly go, lying me back on the lounge. He moved, I followed.
He slid off the lounge and got to his feet, I could see his chest heaving from being so excited, and I loved the way he looked in the soft light of the room, God, he's so fucking hot! I scooted to the edge and wanted to help him rip his pants off, but he stopped me with a look and then a grin, telling me to hold on, and I did, as well as held my breath. He slowly worked them off, dropping them and using his heels to pull the legs, and then dropped the jeans on the floor. He was bulged out in his boxer briefs, and his balls filled them out so nice, it was an amazing sight, and he saw the lust in my eyes. He stepped one step towards me and I was on him with my mouth, lipping and chewing him through his underwear, my hands were clamped on his tight ass. He put his hands in my hair and was moaning softly as I worked him all over, his hard length, and then his balls below. God, it was awesome! He smelled oh so good, that light musk scent and his body wash that he must have used in the shower, plus the underwear? He flipped another switch, my underwear fetish switch! FUCK!
I hooked fingers into the band and pulled it away from his tight hard abs and pulled the boxer briefs down releasing him. It almost flew into my open mouth. Now, I've loved cock since I was really young, the look of a cock, its soft skin getting tight and being so smooth, its form, the crown of the head, just the shape, oh yeah, I worship it so, so much. There have been nice ones in my past, big ones, short ones, some I won't mention....okay....but his? Holy Fuck! It looked like a smooth steel rod with the most gorgeous slender head, not out of proportion by any means, just fucking...gorgeous...just like him. I stared at it for a just a moment, you know one those classic moments where everything stands still kind of thing? It was just so...I swallowed it...all of it, buried my nose right into his perfectly trimmed hairs and clamped my mouth and pushed up my tongue. He groaned so long and loud as his seven pluser was in the back of my throat. I wanted it there for days!
His fingers clenched in my hair. YES! My mind screamed, as my mouth was full of his cock. Pull it! Rip it out! Another switch was flipped in me. Yeah, I have a bunch of them...he stayed still and I kept clamping my mouth on him. His long groan eased and I started moving on him, easing the clamping a bit so he could slide in and out of my mouth. I lifted just my eyes, seeing his head tilted back, him breathing through his nose, still with his fingers in my hair, his rising and falling tight pecs, his eight pack flexing for me as I moved on him, yeah, days...I wanted him for days! I reached up with one hand and cradled his hanging balls in my palm. I was sliding back and forth on him so fast, I was thinking, just drown me, cum in my mouth and fucking drown me! I could die just like this! He started moaning, and then he tried to push me off him, using his fingers and my hair, I knew he was really feeling it and was getting close, as his balls moved and tightened slightly. YEAH! Drown me! Come on! I want it so fucking bad! Then the first pulse cut loose in the back of my throat, I pulled off just a little so it would hit my tongue and I could actually taste him. I stayed with my motions on him, his load was thin, not thick and heavy...fuck yes, my favorite! And he coated my tongue and bombed my entire mouth. I worked my tongue all over him up and down his length and then tickled around his head as he pulsed his last shot. I swallowed a little but saved most of it in my mouth, and then watching his eyes, with his cock still in my mouth, as he was blinking hard looking down into mine, I pulled off him, opening my mouth just a little, showing him, telling him that I was carrying him in me. He became an animal for just a moment, that flash in his eyes and then he dove onto my mouth, furiously tonguing me, trying to take his own load from me. We fought for it with our tongues and I was in heaven, my hands were sliding up and down his back as he was bent over the top of me, then he pushed against me, laying me back on the lounge, making deep growls in his throat, breathing hard through his nose. I almost went off in my underwear, he sounded so sexy and felt even better. I was finally able to pull my face from his, breathing deep. I swallowed what was left in my mouth.
"No stealing." I whispered in his ear, then tongued it. He groaned as I felt his hands clamp onto my ass over my jeans, and I mean tight. He gave me a small chuckle, as he kissed and chewed just below my ear, then tongued inside it, Fuck, another switch! One after the other, fuck he's good! My head is spinning with this gorgeous guy!
He started clawing at my clothes now, pulling up my shirt, desperately trying to get me naked, and I was not about to argue, and I let him pull it off me, and he dove down to my jeans, rubbing his face all over my jeans and my screaming bulge. I put my fingers into his perfect hair, and just enjoyed his soft feel of all those perfect strands of his golden hair. I moaned as he rubbed his face all over my crotch, and then I felt the tug of the top button and then the pull of the zipper, the tug of the flaps and then I felt him chew on my cock over the underwear I was in. Oh God, it felt so good! I was laying off to the left in my underwear, with my length it always went to the edge of my hip. I heard him as he saw how long I actually am, 'wow', was the only word he uttered softly as he dropped back on me again, then I felt the tug, him trying to get my tight jeans off me, down over my thighs, then my knees, then I felt my shoes go, then the jeans were off and he was on me again, his mouth on the underwear and then a hand massaging my balls, rubbing them through the underwear. I spread my legs a little more for him, and was still working my fingers through his hair. He was breathing hard through the material of my underwear making them hot and moist with his breath, this is so good!
And then I felt them being stretched out and lifted, I didn't have to look as I felt myself slide across my hip being released and pointed itself up my stomach. I heard him groan at seeing it, obviously, and then felt the pull of my underwear as they came off me. He used his hands spreading my thighs apart a little and then I felt him suck in one of my balls, the heat, the wet, his tongue, oh man, that magic tongue of his as the tip tickled around over it, he worked for a long minute and then let it go with a sloppy sound, and then went after the other one. OMG! He pulled on it, sucked it, moved his face back and forth with it trapped in his mouth, and that tongue, holy...! He let it go and then moved his tongue up, running it up my cock, making it twitch and me moan now, and then traced the tip all under the base of my head, not touching me at all with his hand. I went to stand myself for him, but he pushed me away. I lifted my head to see what he was doing and I saw his eyes, flashing at mine as we made contact, he gave me a different smile this time and then licked my slit pulling all of the gathered, dripping precum and took it all in. I moaned watching him. I clenched my teeth and wanted him so bad, wanted him in me right now! I pulled on his pits with both hands as hard as I could and rolled him up on the lounge with me, putting him on his back.
He gave me a surprised look but settled into that satisfied look, like he wanted to be dom'ed, almost like a dare kind of stare. Fuck, he was gorgeous! With him on his back, I rolled his hips to his left and slid down his body and started to lick at his ass. I could hear him taking in short breaths, not panting, making sounds like he was cooing, it was so sexy sounding, and I used a hand and spreading him apart, his cheeks were tight and so firm, it was so hot, and I went in with my tongue, he groaned as I entered with just my tip and he was melting, oh yeah, he's so all mine. I was so hard by it all that I didn't have to touch myself, I knew I was pointing at the ceiling and dripping wet even more. I felt a hand at the top of my head as he pulled a little, dragging me in even further, and I didn't fight it, I wanted it, to make him moan and groan and then finally scream, oh yeah!
"Fuck me." He said softly, and I lifted my eyes up toward him over his hip. I grinned and then smirked, then I thrust into him again and he gave me a slight hiss of ecstasy, then dropped his head back on the lounge. I pulled back out of him and heard a slight whimper from the loss. I climbed up over him and he lay his hips back and we went cock to cock rubbing against each other, thumping, moving each other around as my hands straddled him.
"You..." I whispered, "are going to fuck me." I wiggled my eyebrows. He smiled and then raised his hands, sliding them up my chest, rubbing my nipples with fingertips, his eyes following his hands.
"You've got me all ready, and I want you, in me." He said, bringing his eyes back to mine.
"First things first, baby." I said and then kissed him quickly and softly, then pulled back, "I need you, and I need you bad. I want to ride you, I want you to explode inside of me."
"Oh fuck." He whispered and then he gulped hard. Our eyes never left one another. I took my right hand and found him, lifting him, standing him up and put my ass over his head, tip to hole and slowly, so slowly working myself down on him, making him moan a little with the pressure, my hole wanted it and it let him in, remember...slut...oh, yeah, I adjusted to him quickly, his smooth steel rod and it was like we were made for each other, he slid right into me, and I sat down on him fully, and rocked back a little, sitting almost straight up. I felt all of him inside me, and he filled me with that wonderful feeling of being full. I loved it so, and I basked in it, and I let out a long breath, putting my hands over his medallions, and gripping tight flexing muscle, kneading it in my fingers, making him growl again in his throat.
I started to move, rocking my hips back and forth at first, I could tell that he liked that as he gripped my thighs at my hips, clenching them, making sounds in his throat, I closed my eyes and rode with it, looking towards the blank wall, then I switched and started to lift and drop a little using my legs and my ass, just a little bit of movement up and down, and he really loved it, my clenching on him was driving both of us crazy, as I could feel him rubbing against my spot. Fuck I love this! He was getting me close, I could feel it, so I stopped and started the circular motions, using my butt only as I sat on him. Fuck, he feels so good in me! I kept moving and moving the whole time, not giving him a chance to do anything but feel good, and that's when he stopped me, pulling my thighs, silently telling me that he wanted to shift position. I pulled off him slowly and swung my leg over, and he rolled to get behind me, and that's when I heard him. It was a gasp, I turned around and saw the look on his face.
"What's wrong? You okay?" I asked.
"Devin,...what happened to you?" He gave me a look of utter horror. Fuck, the bruises from Cory, I had forgot about them. "Do they hurt? It looks like they do." There was concern, genuine concern in his voice, and I had to stop this before it went anywhere else.
"No, they're fine. Well, they ache a little bit, but it's no biggie..." I was trying to get him back. Come on, bud, you have to finish fucking me here, hello? My mind was screaming again. Get in his face...quickly...you're losing him...! "Seth." I said softly, waving a hand in front of his face, "uhh, are...you okay?"
"I...I...uh," He had that look like his dog had just been run over...fuck, we're done here, as I looked down and saw him deflating...yep...over for the night. I sat down on the lounge, folding my legs underneath me, and put my hands in my lap, cocking my head slightly to the right, pursing my lips, I waited....I raised an eyebrow,...I was still waiting...I sighed, heavily...I waited some more. Okay, we're done here, I got up off the lounge, and started to jump into my clothes, looking at him from time to time, there was no pulling this deer back from that headlight. I sat down on the lounge and got my shoes on, gave him another look, as he sat there looking all hot and gorgeous in his nakedness. Fuck! I leaned forward and kissed him softly on the cheek, you know that kiss of death kind of one, I'll call you some time if I remember your name, you know, that kiss? Yeah. He blinked and looked at me.
"Hi." I said, now that somebody was home, finally. "You okay?"
"Yeah." Then the most sad puppy eyed look I have ever seen, well beside my two roomies that fall apart at the drop of a hat, came through, and I saw them well up.
"Wow," I said now feeling like an asshole, as the psyche major thing kicked in and I saw he was more than bothered by the bruises. "yeah, you're okay, alright." I sat down next to him. "You want to tell me about it?" He snapped around, obviously still seeing the bruises in front of his eyes.
"Maybe you should tell me about it." He said, giving me a look that showed he was getting angry.
"Well, let's just say I lost a wrestling match."
"Those are deep, really deep, I can tell, I know. They were done from some kind of rage. And they're only on your back, and I see a couple on your neck, too." As he moved his head and leaned a little. We had so much going between us that he hadn't noticed when he ripped off my shirt, okay...
"How do you know it was rage?"
"I've seen it before," His voice changed, going deep, no more softness, "and it's something I don't want to see ever again."
"I thought you said you were 'single'."
"I am."
"Recent break up and then being single?"
"No. I've been single for a long time." My eyes narrowed at him.
"Looks like maybe a jealous boyfriend lost it on you or something. Was that the little 'problem' that you had to take care of?"
"Kinda..." I held up a finger, "now hold on here..."
"No, you hold on," He paused cutting me off, "I thought tonight was great, I really do, did, but if there's something going on, I don't need to be involved in it." BAM! Okay, another slap to the head, thank God it wasn't a brick. I got up off the lounge.
"Well, I thought tonight was great too. I guess I'll see you around." I said, and turned and walked to the door, opening it, and then closing it softly behind me. I let out another deep breath and walked down the stairs, and out of the building. I was shaking my head as I crossed the lawn heading toward my building, hearing a few people in the distance laughing and joking, and then went inside, up my own wide stairs and then down the hall. Our room was near the end of the long hall, and I walked in the door, turning and closing it, when I turned back around there was a muscled wall in front of me, I tilted my head back a little and there was Vinnie standing right there.
"Where've you been?" He asked softly.
"Uh, I told you, date, phone call, remember?" God, don't do this thick head jock thing on me right now...and then I couldn't breathe. Vinnie had scooped me up and was tonguing me deeply, his hands held me, one on my butt, the other under my thigh bending it up, making my leg go over his thick hip.
I put my hands on his shoulders and started to push back, he was following me, kissing me deeply, and then I was against the wall, his body against mine, and then I felt him firming, his crotch underneath mine that was kind of hyperextending, and was getting a little uncomfortable...and push...
"Whoa, dude! What's going on?" I asked, searching his eyes.
"I love you, Devin. I want you so bad." Vinnie has such a deep sexy voice that purrs when he talks soft, and flipped a switch in me. Wait...control...stop, stop, stop...
"Dude, I love you too, you know that, but...we shouldn't do this....remember?" I pulled back till I hit the wall as he leaned in for another kiss. "Vinnie...Vinnie...hang on bud, hang on. Put me down, my leg's going numb." He snapped around a little, then set me down on the floor. I needed some room to maneuver in, I ducked and got around him, holding out a hand. "Vinnie, stop, tell me what's going on, man." I was backing up slowly and he kept coming, my idea of room was disappearing as I was backing closer to the far wall, Vinnie was almost on top of me, my fingers were on his chest, then my palm, and I felt pressure against my arm and shoulder as he was still coming. "Vinnie...STOP!" All I could think of was Cory and what had happened between us, him losing control. Vinnie was bigger, and if he lost it, I knew I was done. Eeek! Vinnie stopped.
"Now, you stay right there." I said in my firmest voice, "Tell me what's going on?"
"I've been waiting for you to come back, I wanted to tell you..."
"Vinnie, I thought you were going to call one of the girls?"
"Nope...it's you that I want."
"Vinnie...you're not into guys, dude. Remember? We talked about that? Stay with me, bud."
"I can't help it, it's what I feel, what I want."
"Oh man, dude, you don't know right now what you want. You're confused...you need to get your head clear...let's get you outside." He started to power through again, he was like a big truck and I knew I was done as his hands went around me, and pulled me in, and then he buried his face to mine, tongue in, going deep, I pushed and tried to get away from him as best I could, but there was no stopping him, and I was losing...bad...really bad. Vinnie felt good, and he was so powerful, more so than Cory, but he was being gentle at the same time, not really hurting me. But where I was hurt from the bruising, he was touching on my back and that hurt, it would bring a moan, but not that kind of a moan, and Vinnie was responding to it, totally taking it the wrong way.
He had me tight in his hands and arms, and yes, I had fantasized over this, many, many times, it just wasn't right though. My head was clear, and I was not responding to it or him at all, it was all him, moving me, groping me, clutching me, then he started to get me out of my clothes. I tried to fight back, but fuck, he was so strong, and I was like a rag doll in his hands, he did this move and for a split second, I was in the air, my shirt up under my pits, and he held me suspended with only one hand, shirt came off and dropped and then he had me again. He went to kiss me again, but I turned my head away, and was using my hands to push against those monstrous shoulders, I pushed and I pushed hard, I was leaving marks on him, as I strained, arching my back as he had both powerhouse arms around my waist, holding me up off the floor. There was a knock on the door, he was choking the air out of me and I was really getting lightheaded and dizzy. Vinnie was pushing in, as his concentration was broken, I wanted to scream at whoever was at the door for help, but I had no air. Another knock. I pushed and turned my head, looking Vinnie right in the eyes, he opened his mouth like he was going to suck me in.
"VINNIE!" I almost screamed with what air I had in my lungs, clasping his face in my hands. Another knock, sounding a little more insistent now. Vinnie's usually soft face changed to one of being pissed by the interruption, I knew he had heard it. And he put me down. I tried to get a hold of myself as he walked to the door and opened it. I crumbled to the floor, pain, drained, exhausted.
I heard them at the door, talking at first, then it became a little more heated in their words, and I got to my feet, shook my head, and went for the door, kinda in a roundabout way, rather than a straight line, but I got there. Vinnie turned and he caught me as I went down with a groan.
"What did you do to him?" I heard the voice ask, and then lifted my head slowly, and there was Seth, standing in the brightly lit hallway. His eyes weren't on me, but Vinnie, as Vinnie was holding me up, his arms extended downward, holding me just off the floor. "What did you do to him?" He asked again, but it was really drawn out this time. I lifted my hands and arms and tried to push against Vinnie, to get my balance and my dignity at least, yeah, like that worked, and I slumped.
I woke up, not knowing where I was, wasn't the first time that that has happened, and I felt comfortable, I knew I wasn't in my own bed, it was firm and warm, not lumpy and dipping like my mattress, the material underneath me was soft, cloth like. I looked around and I smelled something. I tried to move, but it was tough, and I ached, really bad. Not that I had ever been, but I felt like the end result of a big bar fight or something. I sat up, and this soft blanket dropped off me, exposing my naked chest. Oh man, a sign. I lifted the soft cover and saw, rut rho, even worse, I'm naked. Definite rut rho!
"Hey." Came the voice next to me, and I felt the pressure of the weight. I looked over and there he was, my stomach flipped seeing that gorgeous face, those beautiful soft hazel eyes, those white teeth, that even smile of his, thank God there were no dimples yet. "Morning."
"Morning?" I asked, wide eyed, looking around again, seeing sunlight streaming through the window of the far wall.
"Here, looks like you could use this." Seth said as he handed me a cup of coffee. "You told me you liked coffee only in the morning,... afterward." I looked at the cup for a second, then took it from him, our fingers touched as I took it, and our eyes locked.
"I'm,...I...," I was confused and really didn't know what was going on. "What time is it?"
"After seven." Seth just sat there, no shirt, only his underwear on, and I could so get used to this in the mornings, just seeing him look like this. Fuck! "Drink some coffee."
"What happened last night?"
"We can talk about it later." Seth said in that soft tone of his, the one that melted me. I smelled the coffee that was in my hand and I looked down at it for a moment, and then back to him again. Fuck, he was beautiful in the morning, his hair slightly tossed about, that glow from the sunlight behind him through the window, Jeez, I was such a mess, and I knew it. I focused on the cup and lifted it to my lips, wow, this was...
"Ah," I said quietly, as I stared at the cup I was holding, "damn good cup of coffee." I whispered. I heard him, chuckling softly next to me. "Did we...?" I asked.
"Uh, no...sorry to say." I heard him, but didn't look at him, focusing on the coffee cup. "You were in no shape to do anything." He paused for a moment. "How are you feeling this morning?" I hated to admit that I was felt like I had been in a plane crash, but I really felt like I had. I drew up my reserves and tried to give him a brave front. It was Thursday...no classes, thank God!
"I'm alright."
"Don't take this the wrong way, but you don't look alright." He said with another even smile, and I looked at him now.
"Are you alright?" I asked.
"I...will be." He said, and I knew that something was wrong, or something had happened. "Let's just say, it was a long night." Then he gave me dimples, and I melted. "And it was a different kind of...first date. One for the books." Again with the dimples, I wanted him so bad...
"I need to know..."
"Your roommate?" He asked, I nodded. "He's alright, well, at least he was when we got you out of there."
"We?" I asked, my eyes going wide.
"Tricia and a couple of guys from a room across the hall." My eyes went wide when he said it.
"Oh, fuck." I whispered. I knew everyone on the floor with us, and most were jocks from the football team, and yeah, go figure, most were also 'sniffers'. Figures.
"There was no real big deal, after everyone saw all the marks and bruises on you, we brought you here, and I got you comfortable."
"Is Vinnie alright?" I asked, and I was really starting to worry about him.
"Like I said, he was when we left." Seth said, his soft tone, and he nodded a little toward me
"I gotta get to..." I started to move, but he gently stopped me with a hand to my shoulder. It ached when he touched me.
"I don't think you're going anywhere." He said softly, "Except maybe to a hospital or something. Those bruises are really bad, and I know they must hurt." I eased myself hearing him, dropping the blanket back where it was, covering me again.
"Yeah, I can explain those..." I started, but he held up a hand.
"You don't need to explain anything to me." That soft voice, caring eyes, I was done for. "I need to apologize for what happened last night,...with us."
"You don't..."
"Yeah, I do." Seth lowered his eyes away from mine. "Never really talked about it before, I guess I should have." He drew in a breath. "It was back home, one night, out with a 'friend', and we got...'victimized' by a group of guys. They beat us up pretty bad, and my 'friend'...he was so badly beaten...he..." I just sat there wide eyed listening to him, "was bruised just like you. I guess I...saw it on you...and it...just hit..."
"Oh, Seth," I whispered, "are you okay?" He lifted his welling eyes meeting mine.
"I would hate to see anything happen to you like that." He said, "It just kind of..."
"Shocked you?" I asked, he nodded in silent reply. "I didn't even think. I was so excited about just going out with you, I totally forgot all about them. I'm sorry." His eyes flashed.
"You were the one that was beaten, you have nothing to be sorry about."
"Well, I wasn't...beaten, it was more like...manhandled...roughly." I smiled weakly.
"Doesn't excuse it, whoever did this to you needs to be..."
"Whoa...whoa," I said holding up a hand, "it wasn't his fault." His eyes went wide.
"Don't tell me you're into that?"
"No,...no...," I said, knowing where he was going, "I mean, I like it rough sometimes, but a playful kind of rough," I wiggled my eyebrows and he smiled again, thank God, "but what made this was not his fault at all." He gave a look of question and surprise, his mouth dropping open a little.
"Not like you think." I said, staring at him, giving him truth, pure truth. "And...that's what makes you so unique...to me." His look of question increased in his eyes, like...huh? "I need to tell you...explain it to you..." I stopped as there was a knock at the door, he slowly got up off the lounge, still giving me that look as he walked over to it and opened the door. I went wide eyed seeing who was there, and Seth stepped out of the way...

Rousseau Enterprises Brings in the Funk
Florida retailer goes high-tech with live audio and video at Le Store units.
GAINSVILLE, Fla. -- Rousseau Enterprises, the Florida-based operator of Le Store convenience stores, signed a deal with Dallas-based Visilinx Inc. to use the Visilinx Virtual Manager system for remotely managing their distribution points.
Terms of the agreement call for Internet-based access to Rousseau Enterprises' convenience stores to provide live video, audio and POS data, digitally recorded video archives, POS exception analysis and supporting remote management solutions for selected stores in central Florida.
Implementation of the system has already begun and will be fully deployed over the next few weeks.
"We were looking for new technology that would help us improve our store management capabilities in a variety of areas," said Todd Rousseau, company vice president. "The Visilinx system is a big step in the right direction for us, plus it puts us a leap ahead of our competitors. We have already had great successes with the Virtual Manager -- system even at this early stage."
According to Patrick Sullivan, founder of Visilinx, remote management is a new dimension of retail store operations that has recently entered the convenience retailing market place. Access to store data is available anywhere a person can sign on the Internet. The system gives store managers, territory managers, trainers, merchandisers, security directors and corporate executives real-time access to store data, integrated with video and audio over a managed, secure, intranet platform.

Deductions from earnings: capital allowances: calculating the allowances due: first year allowances: rates of first year allowance
The 40% or 50% FYAs were withdrawn in respect of expenditure incurred on or after 6 April 2008 (for IT purposes) and were replaced by the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) (see EIM36605).
The rate of first year allowance which applies depends on when the plant or machinery was purchased, and where it is to be used, as shown in the table below. Rates for earlier periods can be found in the Schedule E manual at SE36630.
|Type of plant/machinery, and where item to be used
|Qualifying period (all dates inclusive)
|Rate of FYA
|Most items acquired primarily for use in Northern Ireland (see below for exceptions)
|12.5.98 to 11.5.2002
|12.5.02 onwards
|Use "elsewhere" rate, below
|Items acquired for use elsewhere (and Northern Ireland items to which the 100% FYA does not apply) -but see below for computer equipment
|2.7.98 to 5.4.04
6.4.04 to 5.4.05
6.4.05 to 5.4.06
|6.4.06 to 5.4.08
|Computer and communication technology equipment - wherever used (see EIM36730 and EIM36731)
|1.4.00 to 31.3.2004
|(as regards items purchased at any other time, see above)
Note that the full first year allowance is due even if the expenditure is incurred part way through the year, or if the employment begins part way through the year. But the allowance must be apportioned if the machinery or plant is used partly for non-business purposes (see EIM36570).
The items which are excluded from the 100% first year allowance which applies to items acquired for use primarily in Northern Ireland are:
- goods vehicles used in a haulage business (it is unlikely that you will see such a claim from an employee) and
- unauthorised expenditure on items for use primarily in agriculture and fishing businesses. If you see a case where you think this exclusion applies, obtain advice from Personal Tax (Technical), Solihull.
See EIM36640 for circumstances where the 100% first year allowance for items acquired primarily for use in Northern Ireland has to be withdrawn.

Daily Forex Market Preview, 21/04/2016
The US dollar managed to recover from its losses late yesterday pushing EURUSD lower. However, with the ECB meeting looming today, we could expect some volatility. Gold prices continue to consolidate near the 1250 levels, and the bias remains flat for the moment, with the upside likely to see 1260 - 1265 while to the downside support at 1230 - 1225 remains in focus.
EURUSD Daily Analysis
EURUSD (1.12): EURUSD closed on a bearish note yesterday following the previous three sessions of gains. However, prices remain close to the 1.130 handle casting doubts on the downside potential in EURUSD. A daily close below last Thursday, April 14th lower close of 1.1267 is needed to ascertain further downside in the euro. Price action has cleared the 1.135 handle following the hidden divergence, and any retracements should see EURUSD confined to 1.135 level. A close above this price level could keep the euro range bound with the potential to move back to 1.140. To the downside watch for 1.120 level of support which could initially offer a short term bounce.
USDJPY Daily Analysis
USDJPY (109.8): USDJPY has managed to close bullish for the third consecutive day and is likely to see a push to 110.67 in the near term. The price dipped briefly to 108.95 to test for support before pushing higher and is now trading near the previous highs at 109.80 - 109.64. A close above this minor support/resistance is essential for USDJPY to test 110.67 - 111.31. Only a close above this price zone will confirm further upside. To the downside, a move back below the 108.95 could see USDJPY move sideways above 108 lower support.
GBPUSD Daily Analysis
GBPUSD (1.43): GBPUSD has formed an inside bar after a brief test to 1.442 resistance the day before. The strong consolidation is seen below 1.4425 - 1.405 is likely to prevail for the time being, but there is a scope for a larger rally if GBPUSD manages to break above 1.4425. On the 4-hour chart, prices failed to pullback and tested the lower median line, which could indicate further upside in store, but resistance at 1.4437 - 1.4425 could hold the rallies for the moment, which could see GBPUSD potentially test the lower support near 1.4263 - 1.424.
Gold Daily Analysis
XAUUSD (1249): Gold prices are currently consolidating follow Tuesday's strong rally as support is established near 1231.5. On the 4-hour chart, price action is currently within the falling median line which shows a downside bias validated by the lower high made recently. 1250 remains a key level, but a breakout higher could see a gold rally to test the previous highs near 1262. To the downside, 1230 - 1225 remains a key support level in the near term followed by 1214.

Rotor Geometry Generation
1 Attachment(s)
I need to model a rotor from an axial compressor with the specifications as given in the attachment.
These are from
Page 35 (not of the document. it is the number you have to key in to reach that page)
From what I understand, these are standard rotor specifications.
But they are not in any suitable coordinate system (basically, I know what these values are but do not know how to practically model it)
I would like to know how I could generate a point cloud using the given data so as to be able to import it into a standard modeling software.
Solution: generate b-spline surfaces from the points. This will give you nice smooth curves from not too many points. Software for doing this:
SolidWorks Premium and Student edition allow you to import point cloud data and generate a model in CAD.
You do this via the add in "ScanTo3D"
You may have to smooth out the surface though, but SolidWorks ought to be able to do this.
The academic and full versions of ICEM CFD (from ANSYS) will let you import point cloud data also:
File -> import geometry -> "Formatted point data"
You can use the points to generate B-spline curves or surfaces with this software and then mesh it too.
EdgeCAM will take in point cloud data also and export to a variety of formats, but it was giving me troubles when trying to generate b-spline surfaces from the points.
Maybe check out the free software:
Point clout to NURBS
I think this outputs in .igs format which you should be able to open in quite a few software packages
Yes, I know about generating the b splines. But for that I need the points first. When I look at the data I have, I do not see any point data at all. I do not know which coordinate system to use or what to input, so as to get the point cloud data.
I have previous experience using a coordinate measuring machine and making b splines using the point cloud data generated by that. But in this case, I do not have the physical object with me, hence I cannot do that.
Can you interpret the data I have. It can also be found here
on page 33.
I need to be able to create a point cloud from the given data :(
I shall be using ANSYS ICEM.
What I can get out of your .bmp file:
They give you 13 points running from tip to hub and it looks like they provide quite a bit of data that you can use to turn into points at certain locations (span, thickness, chord, axial dimension, blade angles etc) as far as I can tell.
Use Appendix C (pg 30 in the pdf/ pg 27) to work out what each item in the tables are then look up these definitions and you should be able to construct the rotor
I think I need an airfoil design expert!
Yeah. I think that is what it will come to eventually. I shall have to google each term and manually generate all the points.
That'll take two weeks. Darn.
NASA should make it easier to interpret their data, if they have already made it public.
Anyway, thanks for trying.
