KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Attention focused Sunday on the pilots of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight after the country's leader announced findings so far that suggest someone with intimate knowledge of the Boeing 777's cockpit seized control of the plane and sent it off-course.
Prime Minister Najib Razak gave the first detailed findings Saturday in the more than weeklong investigation into the missing plane, showing that someone severed communications with the ground and deliberately diverted Flight 370 after it departed Kuala Lumpur for Beijing on March 8 on an overnight flight with a 12-person crew and 227 passengers.
Satellite data suggest it flew for at least 7 ½ hours and that it could have reached as far northwest as Kazakhstan or deep into the southern Indian Ocean, Najib said. "Clearly the search for MH370 has entered a new phase," Najib said at a televised news conference. "It is widely understood that this has been a situation without precedent."
Experts say that whoever disabled the plane's communication systems and then flew the jet must have had a high degree of technical knowledge and flying experience. One possibility they have raised was that one of the pilots wanted to divert the plane for some reason — possibly even to commit suicide. Piracy and hijacking also have been cited as possible explanations.
Najib stressed that investigators were looking into all possibilities.
"In view of this latest development, the Malaysian authorities have refocused their investigation into the crew and passengers on board," Najib told reporters, reading from a written statement but not taking any questions.
Police on Saturday went to the Kuala Lumpur homes of both the pilot and co-pilot of the missing plane, according to a guard and several local reporters. Malaysian police have said they are looking at the psychological state, family life and connections of pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, and co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27. They released no details on their investigation so far.
Zaharie, who joined Malaysia Airlines in 1981 and had more than 18,000 hours of flying experience, was known as an avid aviation enthusiast who had set up an elaborate flight simulator at home.
Fariq was contemplating marriage after having just graduated to the cockpit of a Boeing 777. He has drawn scrutiny after the revelation that he and another pilot invited two female passengers to sit in the cockpit during a flight in 2011.
Two-thirds of the plane's passengers were Chinese, and China's government has been under pressure to give anxious relatives firm news of the aircraft's fate. Beijing's state media expressed irritation Saturday at what it described as Malaysia's foot-dragging in releasing information about the investigation and the search.
At a hotel near Beijing's airport, some relatives said they felt deceived at not being told earlier about the plane emitting signals for 7 ½ hours. "We are going through a roller coaster, and we feel helpless and powerless," said a woman, who declined to give her name.
Najib, at his news conference, said he understood the need for families to receive information, but that his government wanted to release only fully corroborated details.
The missing Malaysia Airlines flight departed Kuala Lumpur at 12:40 a.m. heading toward Beijing. Investigators now have a high degree of certainty that one of the plane's communications systems — the Aircraft and Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) — was partially disabled before the aircraft reached the east coast of Malaysia, Najib said. Shortly afterward, someone on board switched off the aircraft's transponder, which communicates with civilian air traffic controllers.
Najib confirmed that Malaysian air force defense radar picked up traces of the plane turning back westward, crossing over Peninsular Malaysia into the northern stretches of the Strait of Malacca. Authorities previously had said this radar data could not be verified.
"These movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane," Najib said, saying that a team of Malaysian, U.S. and British aviation investigators concurred in the findings so far.
Although the aircraft was flying virtually blind to air traffic controllers at this point, onboard equipment continued to send "pings" to satellites.
To turn off the transponder, someone in the cockpit would have to turn a knob with multiple selections to the "off" position while pressing down at the same time, said John Goglia, a former member of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board. That's something a pilot would know, but it could also be learned by someone who researched the plane on the Internet, he said.
The ACARS system has two aspects, Goglia said. The information part of the system was shut down, but not the transmission part. In most planes, the information section can be shut down by hitting cockpit switches in sequence in order to get to a computer screen where an option must be selected using a keypad, said Goglia, an expert on aircraft maintenance.
That's also something a pilot would know how to do, but that could also be discovered through research, he said.
But to turn off the other transmission portion of the ACARS, it would be necessary to go to an electronics bay beneath the cockpit. That's something a pilot wouldn't normally know how to do, Goglia said. The Malaysia plane's ACARS transmitter continued to send out blips that were recorded by satellite after the transponder was turned off. The blips don't contain any messages or data, but the satellite can tell in a very broad way what region the blips are coming from.
Malaysia's prime minister said the last confirmed signal between the plane and a satellite came at 8:11 a.m. — 7 hours and 31 minutes after takeoff. This was more than five hours later than the previous time given by Malaysian authorities as the possible last contact.
Airline officials have said the plane had enough fuel to fly for up to about eight hours.
"The investigations team is making further calculations which will indicate how far the aircraft may have flown after this last point of contact," Najib said.
He said authorities had determined that the plane's last communication with a satellite was in one of two possible arcs, or "corridors" — a northern one from northern Thailand through to the border of the Central Asian countries Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, and a southern one from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean.
The northern route might theoretically have taken the plane through China, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan — which hosts U.S. military bases — and Central Asia, but it was unclear how it could fly through the region undetected. The region is also home to extremist Islamist groups, unstable governments and remote, sparsely populated areas.
Flying south would have put the plane over the Indian Ocean, with an average depth of 3,890 meters (12,762 feet) and thousands of kilometers (miles) from the nearest land mass.
Britain-based aviation security consultant Chris Yates thought it was highly unlikely the plane would have taken the northern route across land in Asia. "In theory, any country that sees a strange blip is going to get fighter planes up to have a look," he said. "And if those fighter planes can't make head or tail of what it is, they will shoot it down."
At least 14 countries are involved in the search for the plane, using 43 ships and 58 aircraft.

Everybody likes sandwiches, but after trips to Eastern Europe through the years, Tracy Miller found herself obsessed with a very particular style of stuff-on-bread.
That would be the small open-faced sandwiches popular in Austria and its neighboring countries that she couldn't stop thinking about. In particular, she and her Slovakia-born husband, Stanislav Grezdo, adored the ones at Duran European Sandwiches, a family-run chain of cafes in Vienna. "I thought, wow, this is really cool," Miller said. "Why doesn't anyone in America have them?"
After meeting with the family to work out an agreement to bring the concept to Chicago, she opened Duran European Sandwiches (529 N. Milwaukee Ave. 312-666-6007) this spring near the three-way intersection of Halsted Street and Grand and Milwaukee avenues.
The focal point of this light-filled space with a coffeehouse vibe is the sandwich case, filled with 28 different kinds of open-faced beauties, each a miniature work of art thanks to carefully arranged toppings and flourishes of herbs, egg and olives. They're $2.50 to $3.50 a pop and a trio makes a nice light meal, hence Duran's deal of three sandwiches and a La Colombe coffee for $10.
All sandwiches are served cold and start with European white bread baked at Old Town bakery La Fournette using special iron molds Miller brought back from Austria. Made with butter and milk, the bread is "soft but not mushy … and it's light, but has enough texture and a richness to it," Miller said. Sandwich toppings are a mix of Duran family recipes and Miller's own touches. Though she keeps many of the details—including secret spice blends—under wraps, we asked her to dissect the combos on a few of the most popular sammies.
>>See the photos and Miller's comments here.
Duran is open from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. on weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays. Evening hours may be added in May along with patio seating next door.

I am thinking pretty seriously about changing the title of this blog to 'Recipes for a Postmodern Cookie.' Or, if tonight's epic snow event lives up to the great expectations of our weather forecasters, maybe I shall change it to 'Recipes for a Post-Apocalyptic Cookie.'
Only time will tell, really. Though I'm kind of leaning towards the former.
It is just that I like cookies, you see. My grandmother likes cookies. My children like cookies. We all like cookies.
And I make a lot of cookies. I use the old-fashioned Toll House recipe, or I bake Deep Dark Chocolate Cookies or White Chocolate, Strawberry and Oatmeal Cookies. When ingredients are low, I might bake the Easiest Peanut Butter Cookies In the World. And when I am trying in vain to take a photo of a cookie, I sometimes bake multiple batches of those lovely Hazelnut Espresso Cookies.
It is as if I had a problem.
This weekend, in preparation of our impending Snow Event of Mythic Proportions, I did what I always do in a time of crisis. I baked cookies. First, of course, I made sure we were stocked on firewood and candles and ground up coffee beans and other basic necessities.
Of course.
But for the sake of this conversation, the most important of all of my storm preparations was the baking of these cookies. I finally, finally and at long last, had gotten my hands on Good to the Grain, a cookbook I have a stalker-like crush on for an absurdly long time. Orangette wrote about it, as did 101 Cookbooks, The Wednesday Chef, and a handful of others. And I coveted it. A whole cookbook on baking with whole grains? With beautiful photos, raving reviews, and a long list of recipes I couldn't wait to try?
It was painful for me. My local libraries did not have a copy. It wasn't going to show up at yard sales anytime soon. Hints that were dropped around important holidays fell on obtuse ears. Used copies weren't showing up on Amazon. I practiced patience. Patience and long-suffering. You might think I would have attempted one of the recipes posted by other bloggers, but, in some sort of pique to further my separation from what I was sure would be the greatest cookbook of all time, I held out. I self-punish well, you see.
I held out for close to forever, and then I figured out how to put holds on books from anywhere within our library system, and after a few more weeks or so, I finally got the notice that The Idolized Cookbook was in. I may or may not have thrown my pajama-clad kids in the car so we could run to the library right away to pick it up. Fresh from some vague town in middle Georgia.
And while I had sort of hoped that there would only be one or two recipes that I wanted to try (as is so often the case for me), because then I could just make copies of them and forget about the cookbook altogether, right before I had to return the book to the library, I had no fewer than 20 bookmarks sticking up from the spine like so many crumpled petals on a flower.
I can think of more than one college textbook that had received less page-saving notations than this single book.
The wealth of Kim Boyce's knowledge regarding different grains and their individual quirks and flavors was nothing short of amazing. I didn't see any way I could survive without having Good to the Grain on my menu desk as a source of ongoing reference.
I gave in to temptation. I found a used copy and ordered it before returning the library copy. And I don't think I have ever been so happy to own a single cookbook.
But back to the cookies, yes? We cannot possibly survive Snowmageddon '11 without a fresh batch of cookies on hand, so I set to work. After hearing so much about her whole wheat chocolate chip cookie recipe, and the not-so-small fact that I already had whole-wheat flour on hand, this one was a no-brainer.
It seemed a bit like cheating, though, since I tend to be fairly die-hard about the Toll House recipe when it comes to chocolate chip cookies, and I had already doctored up that particular recipe with the substitution of whole-wheat pastry flour and dark chocolate chips. So truly, would this one be that different? And would it be worth the use of whole-wheat flour when it is common knowledge that nothing can kill a perfectly good baked good quite as easily as using 100% whole wheat flour?
It was, of course, that different and that good. Whole-wheat flour has a lovely taste, kind of a nutty taste really - not nutty in the odd sense, but in the tastes-like-a-nut sense, you understand - and these cookies fairly embody that flavor. They also, amazingly, make perfect use of the nubby texture, giving the cookies a sort of crackly, to-the-tooth bite that takes everything a good chocolate chip cookie should be, and makes it better.
The first bite, of a warm, oozy cookie straight from the oven was, in all honesty, a disappointment, and I was fully prepared to admit defeat on this recipe without holding it against Boyce, but then I followed Orangette's advice and waited until they cooled to try again.
And that was when I fell in love. They more than rock. See, there may be whole wheat flour in these cookies, but there is also a whole lot of sugar, some dark chocolate, a perfect amount of coarse salt, and two hypnotic sticks of luscious, God save us all, buttah. So what you end up with is a big cookie that is crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside, both salty and sweet, rich with butter, and bursting with the absolute best kind of whole wheat flavor.
Trust me on this. I am an expert on bad, brick-like whole-grain baked goods (I was a child of the seventies, after all) and I know of which I speak here when I say this is what I have always wanted in a cookie. Cross my heart. And this is not just because I was raised by hippies.
These cookies are the bomb. And when the world as we know it ends tonight during The Ice Storm of the Century, I can be relatively sure of our chances of survival since we will be well-stocked with a platter of cookies that are both sweet and, if you can overlook the sugar and the butter, are actually healthy, too.
Well, sort of healthy.
Actually, not really healthy at all, but they do have fiber. And that has to account for something.
WHOLE WHEAT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES, adapted from Kim Boyce (makes 20-40 cookies, depending on size, see note below)
Note: cookies made from about 1 Tbs (using a big rounded teaspoon) of dough make thin, wafer-like, very crispy cookies. Cookies made with about 3 Tbs of dough (using 1/4-cup measuring cup) yield large, crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside, more traditionally-textured cookies. I loved them both ways and can't pick a favorite.
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder (try making your own)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces, or use bittersweet chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, or 325 degrees if cooking with convection heat, and butter two baking sheets.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter and sugar on low speed until blended, about two minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add eggs to bowl of stand mixer, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In three or four batches, add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until blended.
- Add the chocolate, mixing on low speed, just until evenly combined.
- Remove bowl from mixer, and use your hand to turn and gently massage the dough, making sure all the flour has been incorporated into the mix (especially that little dusty puddle that always gets stuck in the bottom of the mixing bowl).
- Scoop mounds of dough onto the baking sheet (read note above about size - 1 to 3 Tbs-sized scoops).
- Bake the cookies on the top and bottom racks of the oven, for about 16 to 20 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through, until cookies are evenly browned.
- Repeat with remaining dough, or refrigerate (or freeze) the remaining dough for later use.
- Cool completely before eating. These taste best when fully cooled.

For two members of the Real Kings motorcycle club, it was supposed to be a simple stop to pick up some equipment Saturday afternoon.
The two men riding from Columbia decided to browse the Cycle Gear store on Dorchester Road after 3:15 p.m. Then five members of a local biker club called Wheels of Soul followed them inside and asked them to leave, police said.
Outside, 15 more Wheels of Soul members stood waiting in the parking lot.
When the two Real Kings didn't budge, fists started flying. One motorcyclist grabbed a stick and beat a man unconscious, police said.
Something between the two motorcycle clubs ignited the fight, then sparked a hail of bullets that left three men dead. North Charleston police have spent the days since trying to figure out what that was, and what exactly took place during the melee that followed.
Some of what they had learned was revealed in arrest affidavits released Monday.
At some point during the fight, the documents show, 41-year-old Maurice Horry of the Real Kings escaped the store through the front door and ran to his motorcycle. When he came back he had a gun that he waved at his rivals, ordering the men to back away, police said.
That's when investigators said 43-year-old Ronald Reid of Summerville pulled a pistol he was carrying at his side and shot Horry in the chest. Horry also fired his gun and hit Reid's leg, witnesses told police.
When the gunfire ended, Horry was dead. Reid's friend, 36-year-old Theodore Waymyers Jr. of Summerville, and another fellow Wheels of Soul member, 39-year-old Carlos Davis, also were killed.
Reid is the only man who faces a murder charge, though Barry Alfonzo Stinson, 32, of Charlotte and a Wheels of Soul member, is charged with second-degree assault and battery by mob because of his alleged role in the fight.
Emotions boiled over Monday during a bond hearing for Reid as his family and Horry's relatives exchanged words about who was the aggressor.
Reid had a concealed-weapons permit and had acted in self-defense, according to his brother, 44-year-old Keith Reid of Summerville. He had just stopped to buy a helmet, Keith Reid said.
"He won't pull his gun out like that unless he's trying to defend himself," he said. "They're in there fighting. ... He felt threatened.
"Then his friend got killed right there."
Investigators are still trying to pinpoint what sparked the confrontation, North Charleston Police Department spokesman Spencer Pryor said.
Before Saturday's violence, police were unaware of any problems between the two clubs, he said.
Investigators are trying to determine if more than two guns were involved in the shooting, and whose weapon was responsible for killing Waymyers and Davis, Pryor said.
A post that Horry's brother, Darrel, put on Facebook indicated his thoughts on the matter: "Yea its tru my lil bru is dead kids without a father! ! Fbf I shouldn't say this part (at least he kill 2 of u (expletives) in tears horry boy 4 life."
The affidavit for Stinson mentioned that he was acting with three named co-defendants, but the document does not identify them. Stinson was accused of joining the others in the fight and using a "paddle stick" to hit a man on the head until the man lost consciousness, the document stated.
During a bond hearing, Stinson told a magistrate that he is disabled but that he was going to start classes soon at the Art Institute of Charlotte. He was in Charleston this weekend visiting a friend, he said.
Stinson was convicted of failure to stop for a blue light last year, and had previous convictions for DUI and driving under suspension.
More arrests are possible, Pryor said. In the meantime, police are keeping an eye out for problems between the two clubs and their supporters as a result of the homicides, he added.
"We've spoken to the families and friends of some of the victims and have asked them not to pursue any retaliation," Pryor said, "to allow us to conduct our investigation and let justice be served."
As Reid and Stinson appeared for a bond hearing Monday afternoon, detectives, security officers and members of the North Charleston police gang unit milled about the courtroom and in the parking lot. They watched for any trouble between the motorcycle clubs.
More than 20 people from Reid's and Horry's families filled the room.
Virginia Horry, Horry's mother, stood before the magistrate with her husband, who is a pastor, and Horry's wife, Meredith. She said her son had gone into the shop to buy things when some men followed him inside.
"My children were brought up Christian," she said. "I always taught them when they see trouble to walk away."
She called her son a hard-working truck driver with four children. The youngest is 4 years old, she said, and "cries often since this happened."
"I told him his dad is in heaven, and he's not going to come back," she said. "He asked, 'Granny, can you call him so I can speak to him?'"
Elizabeth Harkin spoke in support of Reid and told the judge that Reid is a compassionate, nice man.
"He only defended himself," she said.
As Harkin spoke, she started to say that Horry had killed others during the fight. Horry's relatives gasped and stood up. Security and police officers quelled the outburst.
Reid bowed his head as Horry's family spoke. He sat in a wheelchair because of the bullet wound in his leg.
His wife and two of his three children stood in the courtroom and held each other. They wept, but they said nothing. His brother stood and described Reid as a good, family man.
Reid's criminal record in South Carolina is limited to a 1990 conviction for disorderly conduct and a 1989 marijuana possession charge with no disposition, according to the State Law Enforcement Division.
"I hope they get to the bottom of this and get to the bottom of this real fast," his brother told The Post and Courier after the hearing. "I know people are hurting, but this thing here is something else."
Reid and Waymyers were friends who often rode motorcycles together. People knew Waymyers as "Theo."
Across from Waymyers' brick house on Leisure Drive north of Summerville, neighbor Robert Defibaugh said Waymyers often worked on motorcycles and cars in a backyard shed. He rode a white road cruiser motorcycle, like a Victory or a Harley-Davidson.
His main job was with S.C. Electric and Gas, Defibaugh said.
The last time Defibaugh saw Waymyers was last week. Waymyers' son — who Defibaugh estimated is 5 or 6 years old — had lost track of a remote-control helicopter that crashed into the trees on Defibaugh's property.
"It was a $100 toy," Defibaugh said. "They were searching everywhere, but I don't know if they ever did find it."
The 911 calls about the shooting indicate some of the circumstances that the police are still trying to sort out.
Cycle Gear employees seemed relatively calm under pressure while screaming and gunshots echoed around them.
Manager Stan Foxworthy told a dispatcher that he and his employees were holed up inside the store while a dozen motorcyclists fought outside, some carrying guns.
"We've got a bunch of motorcyclists out there," he said. "They started a fight inside the store, took it outside and now we've got a bunch of guys firing guns at each other."
Another caller asked the dispatcher to send help because "they started popping caps off."
"Is anyone injured?" the dispatcher asked.
"Yeah, there's a guy (expletive) down," the caller said, his voice cracking. "He got shot."
Another employee told a 911 operator that a man was inside the store with a gun, "but they won't let him out." The dispatcher expressed concern that a gunman would pose a danger to the workers.
"I'm not worried about him," the caller said. "He's scared to death."
The operator asked the caller if he could get the gun.
"Sir, can you put that in this bag?" the worker asked someone inside the store.
"I've got it secure," the caller later said. "It's not locked, but it's out of sight, out of mind."
The employee had picked up the gun with a plastic bag and put it in a microwave.

- Female Dominant Stories : My Best Halloween
My Best Halloween
Halloween is a great time of year. Grown-ups get to play dress up, and more importantly get to wear masks. I don?t know what it is about masks, but inhibitions seem to disappear when the masks go on.
Last Halloween, I was invited to a neighbor?s costume party. I could hardly wait, but it was a busy time for me. Party night came, and I hadn?t even thought about a costume. Not deterred, I remembered all the last minute costumes I had ever rushed to invent, pirate, hobo, recovering alcoholic (ok, I just came in my regular clothes), and then I remember that film classic, ?Animal House?. ?Toga?, ?Toga?, ?Toga?. Nothing says Halloween like near nudity!
I stopped after work to pick up a mask. I just grabbed a basic mask in black. At home, I pulled out an old white sheet and an old tie. The big debate followed, underwear or commando? Not wishing to be shunned by the neighborhood and not knowing the neighbors that well, I wimped out. At least I picked black bikini briefs. Maybe a little scandal wouldn?t hurt.
I wrapped the sheet around me, dr*ped it over my shoulder and tied it at my waist with the tie, the hem at mid-thigh. I put on the mask and checked myself out. ?Not bad,? I thought, ?Skin without obscenity.? The outfit screamed ?Party?. I grabbed a couple of wine bottles for the host and headed down the street
The outside of the party house had the right amount of spooky lights, fake cobwebs and foam tombstones. The doorbell chimed a creepy tune and the person who answered the door was the obligatory Dracula in cape and fangs. I was ushered in and introduced by first name to many other first names. Some were neighbors, some were unknown to me, and some didn?t remove their masks, so I still don?t know. I grabbed a drink and wandered into the room with the blaring music, black light and dancers.
I stood on the side watching the crowd bounce to the music . . . and I mean bounce. These guys were wearing the costumes that made Halloween so popular with me; kitty cats (or is that pussy cats) in black tights with very low necklines barely containing a variety of lovely breasts, a couple of French maids with legs all the way up (Oui! Oui!), several in bondage attire with varying degrees of coverage, guys in leather wear, guys in drag, and even a girl in gangster drag.
I like my neighbors.
A petite young lady in Elvira attire (but a short, short skirt), long black hair and a red mask stepped up beside me and handed me a tequila shot. She downed one of her own and motioned for me to do the same. A gentleman always obliges. She reached up and placed a slice of lime between my lips. Her hand and forearm continued to rest on my chest as she turned to watch the dancers.
I tried discreetly to figure out who this lovely lady was. She was only about 5?2? and I am 6?, and as I peeked down at her, I got view of a beautiful swell of breast in the plunging neckline of her costume. She caught me looking. She smiled and shifted to give me a better view. She was a nice C cup with big round and brown nipples. I wanted to bend down and suck them right there
She pulled me down and cupped her mouth to speak in my ear. ?Here alone?? she asked. I nodded.
?I?m Nina, I came with friends?, she said, and then ?I like your costume. It?s easy access.?
Not certain what she said, I gave her a quizzical look. Then I felt her hand slide up my thigh to my ass.
?You?re going to have to lose these,? she said.
I think I blushed, but I definitely nodded yes. I guess a lady always obliges, too, because her hand slipped into the waistband and began to pull my briefs down.
Alarmed, I looked around to see who was watching. I realized all eyes were on the dance floor, and we were in the shadows at the edge of the room. I slid my legs apart and let the under wear drop to the floor. She smiled. ?That?s better,? she said, and caressed my ass.
I downed the remainder of my drink (the first one) and set the glass on the shelf behind me. I put my arm around her, and we turned slightly to get a better look at each other. Her hand never left my ass. My dick was at full attention and making a tent in my toga. She looked down and then pulled me to her. My cock was pressing into her firm and flat midsection. ?Ah,? she said, ?That?s the reaction I was looking for.?
She took her hand from my ass and grabbed my cock. Her hand was small but her grip was firm. She stroked from belly to crown. ?Nice? she said, ?I like your size, big enough to make me squeal, but not too big.?
I swallowed hard and mumbled something. I think I said ?thank you.?
Nina tugged at my cock and said ?Follow me.? I looked at her with fright in my eyes. I thought she was going to drag me through the room by my dick.
She must have understood, because she laughed, and with a twinkle in her eye, let go of my erection and grabbed my hand. She walked me across the room and into a hallway. I watched her ass closely as she pulled me along. Her dress barely covered her, and I wished it didn?t. Her ass was a perfect little heart shape under the material and it looked so inviting. Her legs were tanned and firm and covered with black spiderweb fishnets and apparently a black garter belt.
We wandered into the master bedroom and then into the bath. Nina pushed me against the wall and dropped to her knees. She lifted my toga and grabbed my cock. She licked the tip of my cock with the tip of her tongue. She ran her tongue around the base of the head, and then down the shaft to her hand. She sucked the head into her mouth and stroked with her hand. Her other hand grabbed my ass, her fingers in the crack and brushing the rim of my asshole.
I reached down and caressed her hair. She grabbed my ass with both hands and dove on my cock. Her head bobbed. It was incredible. She took me deep and then slowly back out to suck on the head of my cock. I couldn?t help it; I was bucking and thrusting into her mouth. She squeezed my ass hard. Then she buried her middle finger in my asshole. I jerked away in surprise and my cock jumped. She pulled me back and took me all. My balls were against her chin and my cock was down her throat. Her tonguing and finger-fucking were too much. My cock got even harder and rigid. I gurgled, ?Oh, God.? I heard Elvira moan as I started to cum and cum and cum. I swear she sucked me dry, and as I started to go limp, she stood up.
She looked up in my face and smiled, cum dribbling at the edge of her mouth. She stood up and pulled me close to kiss her. Her tongue darted into my mouth, and she left a huge load of my own cum. In surprise, I swallowed and gulped. She laughed and started kissing me again. She jumped back and said, ?My turn.?
She hopped up on the edge of the vanity and lifted her dress. She was not wearing underwear. I was staring. She was neatly trimmed and the dark triangle was inviting me in. I could see her clit poking from her pussy lips. It was large and firm and insistent.
?Well?? she said.
I was immediately on my knees. I spread her legs gently.
?You don?t have to treat me like a porcelain doll,? she murmured. ?I like it a little rough.?
I attacked her clit with my tongue, and this time not so gently. She moaned and hissed, ?yesss??
I licked her clit and then the outside lips of her pussy. I pushed the tip inside her lips and she was very wet and slick. I drove my tongue in as far as it would go and sucked at her whole pussy. Her taste and smell were intoxicating. I fucked her with my tongue. After a bit, I put my hand in the crack of her ass with my thumb at the back of her pussy, rubbing from her ass to pussy. I pressed my thumb into her pussy and she shuddered and groaned. I sucked at her clit and grazed it with my teeth as I fucked her with my thumb.
About that time I heard a knock and a man said ?Holly?? as he opened the door. Nina squeezed my head with her thighs and held it in place with her hands. ?Not now, Sam!? she replied in consternation.
?But we want to go to the other party now,? Sam whined.
?If I can bring him with me,? Nina pouted, and Sam assented.
I heard him leave and Nina pulled me up by my ears and kissed my pussy-wet face. She looked in my eyes and stated without question, ?You are coming with me!?
I nodded dumbly. No way was I going to be anywhere else.
We slipped out quietly and hopped in the back seat of a black Mercedes parked halfway down the block. Three others got in with us. All of them kept on their masks, but it was clear that they were all young and fit . . . and not overdressed. The costumes included the lady in gangster drag I had noted earlier, and two escapees from the Rocky Horror Picture show, including Sam as the Transylvanian transvestite. They were murmuring in hushed tones, and with an air of anticipation.
Nina was between me and the gangster girl, a strawberry blond who was finding it hard to conceal her rather large chest beneath her pinstriped, double-breasted suit (no pun unintended). Nina was running her hand along the inside of my thighs. I was getting excited again but the movement made me remember my underwear. I couldn?t help but wonder who would find them lying on the floor.
Nina?s movement was lifting my toga and airing my stiffening member. I surreptitiously glanced at gangster girl and she was watching my groin with interest. Ok, I couldn?t tell what she thought but I hoped it was interest. I started to cover myself, but Nina pushed my hand away. ?Ah, ah, ah?, she whispered, ?I want you ready for the party.?
I didn?t know what that meant, but the party was sounding good. I looked at gangster girl. I was surprised to see that she had opened her shirt and was fondling one large and lovely breast. She was rolling the long pink nipple between her fingers. Nina was caressing my balls as my dick stood at attention. ?You look ready,? she whispered, ?I think I?ll help Holly get ready.? With that, she turned and took Holly?s tit in her mouth. Holly laid back and smiled. She pulled her arm free and slipped it across Nina?s back. She lifted Holly?s skirt, and slid her fingers between Holly?s butt cheeks. Nina moaned, and I did, too.
The girl in the front seat turned back to watch. She looked at me and winked. She reached back and patted my knee, deliberately brushing my cock with her hand before turning back to the front. She had her arm around Sam. She bent over and began kissing Sam?s neck, her hand obviously massaging his thigh..
Nina was grinding her ass into Holly?s hand and my thigh. ?What the hell,? I thought and reached in to caress Nina?s breasts. Nina had unzipped Holly?s trousers and pulled them to her knees. Nina was rubbing Holly?s clit with her palm and finger-fucking her deeply from the looks of it. Holly began to whimper, ?Oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God.? Her back was arching and she was humping Nina?s hand. I was afraid that I was going to cum, too.
Holly slumped and moaned. Nina kissed her slowly on her lips. Nina licked her finger, turned to me and kissed me. Then she pressed her fingers into my mouth. They tasted good. I sucked them, and Nina moved them slowly in and out of my mouth. ?You?d be a pretty good cocksucker,? she grinned. I stopped licking, and she laughed.
I hadn?t been watching as we drove, but we were in a rural neighborhood with big homes on secluded lots. The car pulled down a long drive and behind several nice cars. We all piled out and headed for the front door.
The group rang the doorbell and yelled, ?Trick or treat!?
The door opened to a dark room, and a tall gentleman in a cape and black mask stepped into the light. ?Velcome,? he hissed through fanged teeth, ?Come in.? Nina caught me staring and whispered, ?They?re caps.? Dracula spread his arm an cape, inviting us in. He was naked under the cape, and impressively so.
We stepped inside, and let our eyes adjust. There were several other people inside, and momentarily, it became obvious that they were all naked except for masks and odd costume bits.
?Please make yourselves comfortable,? vamped our host, ?You?re right on time.? He pointed to a door just inside the near hallway, and the group headed in that direction.
I spied piles of clothes and costumes along the hallway. By the time I got into the room, the rest of the group was half undressed, and that caused me to pause. Nina grabbed my waist and yanked the sash free. With her other hand, she pulled the sheet from the rest of me. ?Better,? she said, loudly enough so that the others looked up.
My cock had reacted immediately to Nina?s rough treatment. ?Nice,? I heard in tandem from the nearly-naked Transylvanian rock stars. I notice that Sam had jumped to attention as well. His friend introduced herself as Janie, and Sam formally introduced himself as well. I wasn?t sure if I should shake hands or something else.
Nina?s Elvira dress was open to the waist already. She undid a couple of clasps, pulled it open in the front and it dropped to her feet. Her body was petite and beautiful. She grabbed me ?my hand this time ? and said ?Come on!? Nina, now naked except for garter belt and stokings, grabbed my other hand.
I followed them into the party, feeling self-conscious, but really excited ? in every way. Sam, behind us, said, ?Play room!? Holly and Nina nodded and turned the other direction down the hall to stairs going down. We descended into a large, dim walk-out basement that seemed designed just for this party.
There were a couple of contraptions I took to be sex swings. I deduced this from the fact that one was occupied by a voluptuous redhead lying back in a sling with her legs in the air and a head in her crotch. Her friend had his mask pulled up to the top of his head, which made it look like he was facing upward, but the action indicated otherwise. She was tugging at his ears and moaning loudly.
Holly and Nina led our party to the center of the room, an old-fashioned ?conversation pit?. There was not much conversation going on. The pit was filled with a huge round mattress at least twice the size of any I had seen before. There were two couples fully intertwined on one side. I noticed that the men?s masks were still in place. There were legs and arms everywhere. It looked like the two women were in a tight sixty-nine and the guys were fucking them in their asses, but it was hard to tell.
We all dived on the mattresses near them. One of the guys looked up and smiled before returning his attention to his friends. Holly and Nina immediately went into a sixty-nine. Sam looked at me and said, ?Join us.? Janie nodded.
I got my first good look at Janie and Sam. Janie was a sparkling, petite redhead, with ample breasts and very pink nipples. Sam was also about 6?, average build, and he had a good-sized hardon. I was surprised that my cock seemed to react equally to both, and very favorably. I was too far gone. I hoarsely said, ?Sure!?
Janie pressed me on my back next to Nina and Holly. Their naked bodies were moving rhythmically. Janie moved between my legs and rubbed her palms from my waist to my nipples, and lowered her mouth to my cock. She took the head lightly in her lips and ran her tongue up my shaft. Sam slipped behind Janie. He put a hand on her back and one between her legs. I think we both moaned at the same time. Janie held the base of my cock in one hand, my balls in the other and sucked vigorously at the head. She was stroking me as she sucked. Her stroking stopped at intervals, apparently as Sam hit the right spots.
After a bit, Janie sat up and turned around. I glanced over and saw that Holly was on her back, and Nina?s head was buried between Holly?s legs. Holly was thrusting against Nina?s face. Before I could see more, Janie crossed her leg across my head and lowered her wet pussy to my tongue. She promptly returned to sucking my cock. I was buried deep in her pussy. It was wet and sweet. Her pussy was framed by a full bush of dark red. I drew my tongue along the inner lips and flicked her clit. I held her ass with one hands, the other squeezing a soft, round melon of a breast..
Janis and I were both enjoying our ministrations to the exclusion of everything going on around us. I remembered the others when I felt Sam?s hand slide between us to grab Janie?s other breast. I could feel him kneading her breast and tweaking her nipple. Then, unexpectedly, he moved his hand and tweaked my nipple between his thumb and forefinger. My cock jumped, and Janie noticed, stroking me more rapidly. She moved her hand from my balls and began to tease my asshole. I was enjoying this immensely when I noticed another hand stroking my balls. It was large and a little rough, but it felt good. I realized it was Sam, and I was a little freaked but no way was I going to stop Janie?s fantastic work or leave her delicious pussy.
Janie never stopped sucking, but Sam?s hand moved up to replace her hand on my cock. His hand covered more of my cock but he stroked firmly and with a soft twist, and Janie matched his movements with her lips and tongue. It felt really good. Janie moved and Sam replaced her mouth with his. Janie?s pussy never left my face. I didn?t know what to do, so I kept doing what I was doing, flicking my tongue on her clit and dragging it in the folds of her pussy.
Sam was really good on my cock, dragging his tongue around the head and sucking it deeper and deeper into his mouth until I felt his chin against my balls. By this time he had both hands on my ass, pulling me into his throat. His head bobbed up and down. His finger massaged my asshole. I began to arch my back. I knew I was going to cum, but I couldn?t say anything. Janie was now fingering her clit as I tongue-fucked her and sucked her pussy lips. She must have known I was close to cumming, because she began to rub against me hard and fast. Her finger joined my tongue, jabbing in and out of her pussy. Sam also must have known I was close to cumming because his head began to bob more rapidly and he sucked hard. Just as I was about to cum, Sam forced a finger into my asshole. That sent me over the edge, and I pushed hard down his throat and shot load after load. He took it all. Janie, too, began to buck and moan and her juices were running down my face. I finally slumped and Janie slumped across my chest. I felt two tongues licking my softening cock and even my asshole, causing my softening cock to jerk in pleasure.
Janie rolled off, and it was then that I saw Holly sitting up with Nina leaning against her. When I looked at them they clapped appreciatively. ?Nice. Very nice,? Holly said.
Nina asked, ?Are we going to see another cocksucker in action?? I mumbled incoherently.
Sam looked at Nina and said, ?It is my turn.? She smiled and crawled toward him. She pushed him back and started sucking his cock. She leaned back for a moment and asked, ?If you get what you want, do I get what I want??
Sam smiled knowingly and said, ?Of course.?
Nina climbed up and mounted Sam. Her taut body was small against him, but she took him all, slowly and deliberately. She moved up and down on his cock. Her tits, with those beautiful, big, brown areoles and long hard nipples, rocked in time to her motions. I was getting hard again watching. Holly moved behind Janie and began to softly stroke Janie?s breasts with special attention to her pink nipples. Neither of them removed their eyes from Nina and Sam. I began to stroke my hardening cock. Janie put her hand over mine and stroked with me.
?I?m cumming,? Sam said. Nina pulled off and grabbed Sam?s cock, aiming it to shoot on her tits. It was the first time I ever saw another guy cum. He must have shot seven or eight times, and cum was dripping from Holly?s nipples. She pulled Sam up, and he licked his cum from her left tit. Nina motioned for us, and Janie and Holly moved to her right nipple, licking together. Janie still had my hand and pulled me with them. Nina reached out and pulled me to her for a kiss. Then she pushed my head between Sam?s and Janie?s, and then between her breasts. I had my first taste of cum. Well, I had tasted my own to satisfy my curiosity, but this was different. It was another man?s cum. I lapped up my share and joined Janie and Holly on the same nipple.
Nina pushed Sam back and playfully said, ?Toy time!? She ran to a corner of the room, opened a chest and returned with several items in her hands. When she dropped them on the mattress, I noticed a big bottle of lube, couple of dildos ? one large, one average, and a couple of harnesses. I couldn?t quite get my mind around the scene.
Nina grabbed a harness and the large dildo and slipped them on. She had to tighten the harness a lot to fit her slim body. Nina nodded to Janie and said get him ready. I looked startled and the girls laughed. Even Sam smiled. He was still on his back and Holly suck his soft cock as she rubbed lube in his asshole, eventually slipping in one and then two fingers. Sam got hard with all this attention. Nina said, ?Here I come.?
She moved between Sam?s legs. Holly pulled a foam wedge-shaped pillow from across the mattress and slid it under Sam?s ass, raising it several inches. Nina grabbed Sam?s legs and pulled him towards her until the dildo was pressing against Sam?s asshole. She pressed harder until the tip was inside. Sam arched his back and neck, his eyes closed and he gasped. ?Yes,? he hissed, ?More?
Nina pulled back slightly, Sam following to keep the dildo in his ass. Nina pressed back and slipped halfway in. Sam groaned and writhed. The dildo looked huge, but Sam was pressing against it, wanting more. Nina thrust again and it was all in him. Sam began to rock against it, fucking it as Nina fucked him. This was too much for me. I was as hard as a rock. Holly continued to stroke Sam?s cock and Janie was stroking Nina?s ass. I leaned forward and took the head of Sam?s cock in my mouth. I couldn?t believe I was doing it, but it looked so good. Sam moaned and pushed against my mouth. ?That?s my boy,? said Nina, stroking the back of my head.
Holly removed her hand and I took a mouthful of Sam. It was so different. His cock was as big as a corndog, but right now it tasted so much better. I could taste precum mixed with the remnants of cum. I circled the head of his cock with my tongue and licked from the base to the head along the vein on the bottom. I pressed my tongue in the tiny opening at the end. I sucked it in as far as I could and took the rest in one hand and his balls in the other. My cock was jumping.
All this time, Nina continued to pump his ass. Sam moaned and grunted and shook his head slowly from side to side. He began to tense and grunted, ?Cumming.? He filled my mouth as Nina pounded his ass hard. I couldn?t swallow it all. Cum dripped from my mouth and down my chin. I sucked hard and long to suck him dry. Nina laughed, ?Told you, you?d be a good cocksucker. That deserves a reward.?
I was still on all fours, and I felt hands on my ass and balls and cock. I was being lubed generously. I knew what was coming, and I didn?t resist. Holly put a lubed finger in my ass as Janie stroked my cock. I felt something cold and hard against my asshole. I looked back to see Holly in the other strap-on with the smaller dildo. She pressed into me, and I felt a burning pain. It hurt some, but it felt too good to stop her. I pushed back, taking more in me. ?Attaboy,? crooned Nina. She leaned beside me and kissed me. She still wore the dildo.
Janie lay down in front of me and Nina climbed between her legs. Nina began to fuck Janie and they both had their eyes on me. Holly pushed all the way in me. Her pubic hairs tickled my ass. She started to pump my ass and it felt so good. I grunted and rocked with her movements. I felt Sam?s hand on my cock, gently stroking as Holly pumped me.
Nina pulled out of Janie, telling Holly to switch. She lubed her already glistening dildo and pushed it against my ass. It was much bigger, but she pushed it in. I dropped my head to the mattress and groaned loudly. Nina filled me completely. I thought she was going to split me in two. She started slowly, but pumped harder and faster. Sam continued to stroke me, and in no time, I exploded, shooting the biggest load I could remember. I was still spasming as Nina pulled out. I moaned, ?Not yet?
Nina said not to worry. I felt pressure against my ass again, sliding in deep in one motion. I thought it must be Holly because it wasn?t so big. I opened my eyes, but Holly was still fucking Janie in front of me. Slowly, I realized that Sam was fucking me. I was definitely freaked, but it felt so good. My cock jumped to attention again. I had never reacted this often or this quickly.
His cock was softer than the dildo and warm and throbbing. He fucked me slowly and gently. His hands were on my waist, pulling me against him as he thrust in me. Nina slipped her head under my stomach and gently sucked my cock. I rocked back against Sam in time with his fucking. His strokes got faster and I could feel his cock swell and throb. My cock responded with his and Nina sucked me deep in her throat, dragging her teeth along the base. Sam cried, ?Ahhh,? and jabbed his cock deep in my ass. I could feel his hot cum shooting in me. I don?t know where it all came from, but he filled me until I could feel it dripping from my ass. I started to cum again and Nina took it all. I could hear Janie screaming, ?Oh God! Oh God!?
Nina pulled out from under me, and kissed me with cum covered lips. Sam lay down on my back as I slid flat on the mattress, His cock, softer, never left my ass. He reached under me and slowly stroked my soft cock. Nina lay down beside us and continued to kiss me. Shortly thereafter Janie lay down on the other side and Holly snuggled up against Nina.
Nina smiled and whispered, ?We girls aren?t through.? Then she slid her mask back down on her face.

SKU: 509-AVIGOG | 6 Reviews | Write a Review
The Aviator snow goggle from 509 features a design inspired by the face shield of a jet fighter pilot. This unique styling brought from the aviation industry, provides not only a futuristic appearance, but more importantly performs even better in even the harshest winter conditions.
The Aviator is engineered using a 'rimless' frame design. This sleek design minimizes the amount of goggle frame in your field of vision. By reducing the thickness of the frame, we are able to use a much larger spherical lens without increasing the overall footprint of the goggle. This maximizes the goggles lens to frame size ratio, providing industry leading peripheral vision.
The problem with traditional goggles is they tend to restrict your vision. We addressed this concern head on and focused on designing a snowmobile specific goggle around the absolute largest lens possible. The result is an unprecedented clear view, never before provided in a snow goggle.
Standard is a bronze mirrored spherical lens. This no fog, anti scratch dual pane lens features 7 vent ports and blocks 100% of harmful UV rays. The 509 Aviator is a high end goggle built with only the best materials and craftsmanship. We spared no expense and cut no corners in the design and development of this goggle. The attention to detail is second to none. Aside from the unique rimless design, and oversized spherical lens, we also focused on improving the strap. The 509 Aviator goggle features a 2" wide strap with triple silicon lining that provides even greater helmet grip. Instead of a traditional sewn strap design, we developed a "509" chrome strap emblem attached with a real leather backing. 509 Aviators also come standard with our famous removable nosemask, which keep you comfortable even in the coldest conditions. They also come standard with oversized triple layer face foam.

I ordered these goggles and they came in a very short time! However, the lenses had a defect in them, seemed to be a mold defect. I called 509 immediately and they were VERY helpful. I explained what looked to be a mold defect and they immediately wanted to fix the problem. They asked for my address and what lens type it was and I told them. With no further questions, they immediately mailed replacement lenses out and I got them within about a week. Their customer service was outstanding, and the new lenses and new goggles fit in my helmet excellently. I highly recommend this product.

Got the Pink Aviators for the wife. These have to be the best goggles I've ever seen. She will be very happy. Thanks 509 you have awesome gear, wish you would add jackets & pants to match our helmets and aviators.
Date: 09/19/2011
Very happy with these goggles, they fit really nicely around your face with lots of padding, and the multiple vents on the face of the lens allow for lots of airflow that eliminates fogging. Like any goggle they will fog up if you wear them while digging out, but as soon as you are moving again, they clear right up. Great goggle!

I have owned many goggles and finally found a pair that fits. These goggles seal around my nose unlike any pair I have owned. In the past all the other goggles would leave a gap in the corners of my nose and when doing 90 XC racing down the river this was a concern. No fogging issues what so ever in all temps and humidity and the peripheral vision is by far the best, almost like they aren't there. The nose piece is a plus as I don't have to use duck tape anymore. 509 keep up the good work Reuben

The best goggles I've ever owned, period! I ride every day in the winter as a backcountry guide and I used to have a big issue with moisture on the inside of the lens from sweating and also problems with fogging up. These goggles have never had either issue for me whether it's 10 degrees or 45 on a spring ride. Also folks at 509 take care of you. I took a tree branch to the face and ruined my first lens so I took it with me to the hillclimbs in Jackson and the people at their booth replaced it for free, no questions asked! Great Goggles and Great Customer Service!
Date: 01/18/2010
I ordered and received a pair last week, just in time for a weekend _ trip. It was very humid in Michigan this past weekend and I never had a _ fogging issue while riding or stopped. No skin exposure due to lack of _ foam (which I experienced with my old Oakleys). _ _ *They performed flawlessly !!!!* _ _ Thanks for a great product with fast shipping, _ _ **Todd Wallace**

This just in — three-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams will play journalist Lois Lane in Hollywood's revival of "Superman."
The 36-year-old star got the news on Sunday from director Zack Snyder, who phoned her from Paris, where he was promoting his just-opened film, "Sucker Punch." There had been a crush of Hollywood interest in the lead female role in the Warner Bros. project but Snyder said that after meeting with Adams, she was the clear choice to take on a character that dates back to 1938 and has long represented the strong, professional woman who can hold her own against any man — even if he can leap tall buildings in a single bound.
"There was a big, giant search for Lois," Snyder said. "For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it."
Snyder declined to discuss the precise prominence of Lois in the story or any plot details about the film but he said the role is "a linchpin" to the project and that he considers it essential that Lois — an FDR-era creation — arrives on screen in 2012 with contemporary appeal and spirit.
"It goes back to what I've said about Superman and making him really understandable for today. What's important to us is making him relevant and real and making him empathetic to today's audience so that we understand the decisions he makes. That applies to Lois as well. She has to be in the same universe as him [in tone and substance]."
Adams has shown an affinity for finding the plucky but pitch-perfect center of old-school roles; in the cartoonish "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" she brought a surprising amount of yearning emotion to the role of a simplified Amelia Earhart and she won rave reviews for the role of Giselle in "Enchanted" and its sly send-up of Disney princess traditions that date back to "Snow White," which premiered just six months before Lois Lane hit newsstands in the pages of Action Comics No. 1.
Adams is coming off an Academy Award nomination for her work in "The Fighter," the David O. Russell film that took her into far darker territory; she played a bartender named Charlene who is fire-tested and fierce in her love for a down-but-not-out boxer portrayed by Mark Wahlberg. The film earned an Oscar win for Christian Bale, who played Wahlberg's deliriously drugged-out brother, and he will be in the other big superhero film of 2012, "The Dark Knight Rises," which will see Bale back in the cowl of Batman.
The big breakthrough for Adams was "Junebug," which premiered at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, where Adams won a special jury prize for her performance. The star's other notable credits include "Doubt," Julie & Julia," "Sunshine Cleaning," "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" and "Charlie Wilson's War." Later this year, she will be seen in both "On the Road" (an adaptation of the famed Jack Kerouac novel) and in Disney's new Muppets film.
I asked Snyder how it feels to be making a film where every casting choice is a global news flash. "It's an epic thing, no doubt. But this good news is the cast is shaping up to fit that." In the still-untitled Superman film, Henry Cavill will play Clark Kent and the Man of Steel. Kevin Costner and Diane Lane are set to play the Kents, the adoptive parents of the last son of Krypton.

This is the fifth of seven posts on AchieveGlobal's international study of leadership today, "Developing the 21st-Century Leader." Be sure to read the complete report.
A couple of years back, the Harvard Business Review ran an article about how difficult it can be for new managers to develop the interpersonal skills to lead effectively.
No kidding.
But that challenge doesn't apply only to new managers. Consider some daily realities for any manager, new or experienced: dealing with an array of personalities and work styles, communicating clearly and effectively, inspiring and motivating teams, and doing all this with a sense of fairness.
Our recent international study identified six zones of leadership - Reflection, Society, Diversity, Ingenuity, People, and Business - that address key 21st-century challenges. The People zone paints a vivid picture of how effective leaders connect with others to boost morale and guide action toward shared goals.

John Habib's City Sports: Hockey final recalls rivals' historyBy JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 08. 2013 11:13PM
There are nine NHIAA championship banners hanging at JFK Coliseum, and Wally Tafe is responsible for five of them.
The only man ever to serve as head ice hockey coach at all three Manchester public high schools, Tafe won back-to-back NHIAA titles with Central, in 1980 and '81, and won championships with Memorial in 1989, '91 and '95.
He also coached at West for two seasons, 1966-67 and '67-68, the prelude to 25-year run divided between Central and Memorial from 1979-2004 .
It should come as no surprise that he's a member of the New Hampshire Legends of Hockey Hall of Fame.
Tafe won't be a physical presence today at Verizon Wireless Arena when the two schools with whom he spent most of his career face each other for the Division I championship, but he'll be there in spirit.
"I wish I was there, but obviously I'm happy for both programs," he said in a phone conversation Thursday from his home in Florida. "It's a feather in the city's cap."
Tafe won the state title in his first season at Central in 1980. Now Brian Stone, who played for Tafe, has a chance to do the same thing.
"Brian is doing a heck of a job," Tafe said.
That's nothing new. Stone did a heck of a job as a player, too, Tafe said.
"Brian was small in size but played with a big heart. He was a clever player, an excellent skater who never got tired. He could skate forever," the former coach recalled. "He was a captain on my '84 team and one of the best players I've ever coached."
Tafe shied away from making a prediction on today's game.
"I'm not getting boxed into making one," he said. "I coached both programs, so I'm staying neutral."

- - - - - -

WHILE today's Division I championship will mark the first time two Manchester public-school teams face off for the title, there is precedent for an all-city final. Tafe's 1991 championship with Memorial came at the expense of cross-town rival Trinity, 4-1.
And there was a notable near-miss.
In 1980, the year Tafe won his first title, the semifinal between Memorial and Bishop Brady of Concord went to three overtimes at the University of New Hampshire's old Snively Arena before Brady scored with just more than a minute left in the third OT.
Hubie McDonough III, who would go on to play beside Wayne Gretzky in the NHL and become director of hockey operations for the Manchester Monarchs, was a junior forward on that Memorial team, playing for his father, Hubie Jr.
Under NHIAA rules at the time, the younger McDonough recalled, if a game wasn't decided at the end of three overtimes, the two teams had to play a new game the following day.
"We almost won that game, and we almost had to come back and play the whole game over again," he said. "We came down ice, and Jim Richardson slapped a shot that hit the post square - I mean the whole place heard it. Bishop Brady grabbed the rebound and came back and scored the game-winner."
The Brady player who put the puck in the net was current Concord High coach Duncan Walsh, forever remembered by some in Manchester as the villain who prevented an all-city final 33 years ago.

- - - - - -

McDONOUGH and George "Butch" Joseph, the former longtime director of athletics for the city's public school and now coordinator of the annual Manchester High School Christmas Hockey Classic, both believe the Central-Memorial game could draw at least 5,000 fans.
"It's because the game is being played in the city," said Joseph. "It's not in Durham; it's in the city, and I think many alumni will attend the game."
McDonough said that with the state championship on the line, people will come in droves.
"It wouldn't surprise me to see even 6,000 or 7,000," he said. "The Verizon is spacious, the seats are comfortable. It's a great atmosphere, especially for this type of game."

- - - - - -

THE BUZZ surrounding today's rematch is so strong, it's even recalled memories of a legendary Central-Memorial championship in another sport.
In 1971 Memorial defeated Central 64-58 in double overtime for the Class L basketball state championship at the University of New Hampshire's Lundholm Gym.
"That game will never be forgotten around here, just like Saturday's game will not be forgotten," said former Memorial forward Ron Beaurivage, who sank six free throws in the second overtime to beat Central. "Mike Flanagan fouled out of that game, and I remember Central thinking they had the game won when Mike left. It didn't turned out that way because Scotty Thompson and I made some clutch free throws to win it."
Beaurivage, a great baseball player who made it to the Triple-A level with the Oakland organization, said Memorial had a great basketball rivalries with against Nashua and Portsmouth in those days, "but nothing topped Central and Memorial.
"It was always a love-hate relationship when we played Central. We partied together, we grew up together, and you'd even have Central guys dating Memorial girls and vice versa," he said. "But when it came to playing each other, you never wanted to lose that game. I'm not a hockey buff, but I'm definitely going to (today's) game. It's going to be fun to watch."

- - - - - -

THE LURE of the first Central-Memorial hockey final is strong enough to draw Chris Tzianabos back to the Granite State.
A member of those 1980 and '81 Central champions, Tzianabos is now vice president and general manager of WLNE-TV, an ABC-affiliate in Providence R.I.
In an email to the New Hampshire Union Leader this week, he wrote, "I live south of Boston now and don't get up to Manchester to see the games. But I will definitely be there (Saturday) with my brother, Arthur, who was the captain of the 1981 squad."
Tzianabos said he's exchanged emails with Stone, a Central teammate in 1982 and '83, and wished him luck.
"He kindly invited me to stop by the locker room before the game," Tzianabos said. "I think it's great they're playing Memorial, as they were our arch rivals back then, too, with Hubie McDonough on the ice and his dad behind the bench."
"City Sports" appears Saturdays in the New Hampshire Union Leader. Email staff reporter John Habib at email@example.com.

This is an excerpt from Coaching Tennis Successfully 2nd Edition eBook by United States Tennis Association.
After weeks of preparation, anticipation builds toward the first match of the season. Goals have been set, skills refined, team positions announced, and game plans made. How you handle the practice the day before a match, and the prematch gathering, can influence your team's performance significantly. Most experienced coaches report that establishing a routine that addresses all players' needs leading up to a match helps to reduce their anxiety and nervousness. Once you've established a prematch routine that works, let your older players take the lead and have them help younger players get ready.
Conduct Prematch Practice
Prematch practices should typically be shorter than normal and high in intensity and quality. This is not the time to introduce new techniques. No player will be able to learn much the day before a match that he can use under pressure the next day. Your primary goals are to focus players on the next day's matches, to allow their bodies to be fresh and rested, to build their confidence, to provide emergency stroke first aid, and to anticipate distractions that might be present the next day.
A word of caution: Never schedule challenge or ladder matches the day before a team match. If you do, your players' energy and emotion will be wasted on competition within your team rather than saved for the opposing team. The day before a match is the time to focus on teamwork, support for teammates, and determination to perform well against another school.
Build Confidence
In practice the day before a match, after the normal warm-up and stretching routine, spend some time building confidence by allowing your players to practice their strengths. Let them hit their favorite shots. As they practice, show enthusiasm for their success and assure them that you think they're ready to compete. Resist the temptation to dwell on weaknesses, because this will only reinforce those limitations. Under pressure the next day, any new technique will break down during the match.
Talk with each player about performance goals for the match. Focus on things under her control such as working her way into the point, playing at a controlled pace, coming in to net on short balls, or improving her percentage of first serves.
Before practice ends, check that each player has a game plan so that there is time for her to think about it overnight. You'll find it helpful to have each player write her plan out on file cards. This will allow her to review the plan that night, the next day, and even during the match when pressure sometimes causes confusion.
Be optimistic and enthusiastic about the upcoming challenge. It's what you've all worked hard for—so enjoy it!
Simulate Match Play
Every prematch practice should include playing points in a competitive situation. You could try 10-point games where one player serves the entire time; when someone earns 10 points, the two players switch roles. Tiebreaker tournaments are also good because they review the tiebreaker order and add the element of pressure. Another good idea is for players to do 10 repetitions of specific shot sequences they favor--for example, serving wide to the deuce court and hitting the second ball deep to the backhand corner.
In general, don't play normal sets and don't emphasize winning and losing during a prematch practice. You want every player to feel success and confidence. Construct situations that ensure success for each player at some point during the play.
Use your scouting information to devise situations players will likely face the next day. You can even use some junior varsity players to imitate the next day's opponent, just as football coaches do. (You might have to give the JV a handicap advantage to make it realistic. For example, if you know one of your players will face a big serve the next day, let the JV player serve from a foot in front of the baseline.)

Recreating the feel of a bygone era is no small feat.
But that's exactly what Greg Price is attempting to do with a wrestling documentary that is expected to be released next summer.
Price, along with videographer John Andosca, is producing "Mid-Atlantic Memories," a feature-length documentary that aims to capture the sights, sounds and feel of one of wrestling's most revered territories and eras.
"I'm completely stoked about the opportunity we have to put something together that will conjure up everybody's positive memories of when they grew up watching wrestling," says Price, the brainchild behind the annual Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Fanfest.
"I think there's a tremendous audience out there for not only the product, but for the wrestling itself ... the wrestling from your childhood."
Thousands of fans, from all corners of the globe, flock to the summertime gathering to relive some of their most cherished moments when they faithfully followed Mid-Atlantic wrestling.
Price hopes to expand that Fanfest experience with his documentary.
"It's really not the history of wrestling in the Carolinas. It will be like a history project when we're done, but we're not trying to go out and write the definitive history. This is the history according to the memories of all these people who are going to have a chance to tell their story."
That, says Price, will include not only the performers of that era, but also the managers, promoters, referees and, most importantly, the fans.
Price says he wants to talk to "everybody that's living and breathing that worked here during the '60s, '70s and '80s."
"We want to give the fans the opportunity to sit down and record their memories. I'd like to talk to everybody who ever wrestled here. But the story isn't complete until we get the fans in there as well. They will play as much a role in the finished documentary as some of the talent will. We want to share everybody's memories."
Price hopes to take the film on the road and into theaters in the major towns where Crockett Promotions ran on a weekly basis during the territorial days.
He plans to offer expanded DVDs and related products, but says the major thrust will be theater screenings throughout the old territory.
"We're not going into this to sell a hundred DVDs. We're going into this project to come out with a documentary that you can see on TV and in theaters somewhere. DVDs will be a part of it, but a very minor part."
Price hopes to feature some of the names involved in the film at various red carpet events.
"We want to come to your town and give everybody an opportunity to see it. It's been so long since a lot of these places had anything like Mid-Atlantic wrestling. I think it will be a real nostalgic-type event — similar to a mini-Fanfest — where we can go to these different towns and show the film, have the red carpet and get the fans involved."
Price also hopes the film will evoke those same feelings that attending a Fanfest does.
"It'll be a 100 percent positive experience. It'll be something just like Fanfest. When you walk into a ballroom and know that you're in there with several hundred people that like, love and grew up with the same thing that you did, that's a special feeling. This documentary is going to be the same way."
There will be no script, says Price, but there will be some major points that he wants to highlight. The story of Jim Crockett Sr., who laid the foundation for the promotion during the 1930s, will be a major focus.
Crockett, who built a wrestling empire and became one of the premier promoters in the Southeast, passed away in 1973 at the age of 63.
In addition, the film will spotlight some of the old venues that served as homes to the promotion's weekly wrestling shows, along with the announcers who added narration to the stories being told in the ring.
"There's all kinds of stories about venues like County Hall (Charleston), Township Auditorium (Columbia), Dorton Arena (Raleigh) ... all the old Crockett towns that ran on a regular basis. People remember that," says Price.
"Another focus will be on the TV personalities ... announcers like Bob Caudle, Big Bill Ward, Billy Powell, Charlie Harville. All these are things that people remember from their childhood. The people they saw on TV are very important, along with the arenas they went to."
Caudle, now 82, recently did the first promotional videos for the new documentary and for this year's Fanfest. The spot was filmed at Raleigh's Dorton Arena where wrestling was once held every Tuesday night.
Caudle, regarded as the "Voice of Mid-Atlantic Wrestling," was a staple of Carolinas wrestling during the '60s and '70s.
"I'm still in awe of Bob Caudle," says Price. "He reminds me a lot of my dad."
"Good people" like Caudle, says Price, are what initially attracted him — and many other fans — to the product.
"It's just folks who are genuinely good people. Those same things that hooked me then still have me now."
Events like Fanfest, he says, give fans the opportunity to not only "go back in time," but also a chance to interact with many of their childhood heroes.
To Price, the event is "four days and four nights of reliving my childhood."
"Some kids grew up collecting comic books. I grew up collecting wrestling magazines. It was just all wrestling for me. It was all positive. That was the thing that I looked forward to every week. Now I look forward to it once a year.
"To some folks, Mickey Mantle and Jackie Robinson were their childhood idols. Not that I wasn't a baseball fan, but I was a wrestling fan first and foremost. A lot of times I caught grief for that. For me, this is an opportunity to talk to and interact with these people that I grew up admiring. They were bigger than life to me then, and they're bigger than life to me now."
Fun is the operative word at Fanfest. A number of fans, says Price, plan their vacation around the event.
"Fanfest has become a big, extended family for a lot of people. That's their summer vacation every year. It's a huge family reunion. When you're in a hotel full of people who absolutely love the same thing that you do, it's just a remarkable feeling. It'll never get old."
The documentary project began taking shape three years ago when Andosca, an Ohio-based videographer, approached Price and asked if he could have access at Fanfest in order to put together a visual package of the event.
"He produced a 10-minute, mini-documentary on Fanfest. He really told a great story about what the weekend is all about. It turned out to be a tremendous promotional piece for Fanfest."
Price brought back Andosca to his Atlanta Fanfest in 2011, this time to film the entire event, and was again impressed with his work.
The two have been steadily filming since then, and plan to heavily cover this year's event in Charlotte.
Price says the documentary should be completed by next spring, and he hopes to premiere the film at next year's Fanfest.
The project is a labor of love for Price, who grew up watching Carolinas wrestling and later realized that he had witnessed something that was very special and would stand the test of time.
"I've since realized how different the Carolinas as far as wrestling. I didn't realize it as a kid. I thought it was great stuff, but I didn't really have much to compare it to."
His respect has increased exponentially since he began his Fanfest events in 2004.
Fanfest, he says, was something that he wanted to see as much, if not more, than the thousands of Mid-Atlantic fans he had created the event for.
"For years I've been a student/fan of the business of professional wrestling. Having promoted and gained an understanding of not only producing a good show with good show with good talent, but something that people will want to come watch."
The Mid-Atlantic territory, under the steady leadership of the Crockett family, featured some of the top talent in the country. Many of the sport's biggest stars, including 16-time world champion Ric Flair, made their homes in Charlotte, the headquarters of Crockett Promotions.
In the heyday of the promotion, thousands of fans routinely packed arenas in several towns each night.
"Even when business was bad, it was a good business model here," says Price. "You go back to the mid-'70s when sometimes they were running three different towns a night. That's a lot of towns and a lot of talent. You had to hustle on a weekly basis."
Price says he's particularly excited about this year's Fanfest, to be held Aug. 1-4 in Charlotte,
because of the variety of projects that will be tied to the event, including the filming of the documentary and a "Mid-Atlantic Memories" book.
"All three projects are intertwined — the Fanfest, the book and the documentary," he says.
An added attraction at Fanfest will be a special training camp.
The Future Wrestling Legends Training Camp, a four-day talent search for two dozen young male and female wrestling hopefuls, will be conducted by former pro star and WWE trainer Dr. Tom Prichard.
Prichard, a 30-year mat veteran and, since 1996, one of the most respected trainers in wrestling, will be joined by a host of guest coaches including Tully Blanchard, Les Thatcher, Jerry Brisco and Leilani Kai. More coaches are expected to be added in the coming weeks.
This all-star lineup, notes Price, "isn't your group of sour, jaded old-timers who don't watch today's product."
"Even though some of them may have that same sentiment," adds Price, "they are guys who know not just what it takes to be successful the way they were, but also how to get a leg up on getting into WWE. They know what they're looking for now. Hopefully this is something that will look good on somebody's resume."
Price says the main purpose of the camp, which will include more than 30 hours of in-ring training and locker room study, is to provide an opportunity for mat hopefuls to soak up an incredible amount of knowledge over a four-day period.
"It's a great opportunity for young guys and girls to learn their craft from some of the best that are out there. To be able to talk to someone who has been madly successful in the profession that you're trying to get in ... that's very rare. We have that opportunity at Fanfest."
The reason for the camp, says Price, is simple.
"We want to give something back. Wrestling isn't the same as it used to be. You don't have the Anderson Brothers trying out guys at the Coliseum every week. There are all kinds of wrestling schools around, but there are not a lot of opportunities for young guys to learn out there now."
One of the highlights of the camp will be the Reid Fliehr Memorial Scholarship.
The $2,500 scholarship, says Price, is a way to reward the best in the camp to further their wrestling education.
"Whether they choose to do seminars or try a camp for a month or so, their scholarship is going toward their future wrestling training. We're doing that in Reid's name because Reid was a young man who was still training in several different places — going to Harley's (Race), training here in Charlotte, going to Japan. He was in that long training process. He's also a friend to a lot of people at Fanfest. Hopefully this will bring something positive and help a young man or young woman in their future training."
The 2013 edition of Fanfest is an event not to be missed, Price promises, especially if you remember just how good the good old days really were.
"We've been doing this for nine years, and every year I get to create new memories. It's unfortunate that we had to miss last year, but if anything, that's made me anticipate this year even more."
