Elizabeth Diane Sluder, 25, is the daughter of local Hell's Angels president Dwight Sluder, 48, who was found dead from a gunshot wound to his head.
Daughter of a Hell's Angels member found murdered at a home on Baux Mountain Road last July was one of five people arrested following a joint investigation into the motorcycle gang involving the illegal possession and sale of firearms, illegal narcotics, counterfeiting, and larcenies.
Elizabeth Diane Sluder, 25, is the daughter of local Hell's Angels president Dwight Sluder, 48, who was found dead from a gunshot wound to his head.
Forsyth County Sheriff's Department Maj. Brad Stanley said the arrest came after authorities executed search warrants at three homes on Circle Drive, a home on Germanton Road and another home on Pisgah Circle in Kernersville. Stanley said one of the searched homes on Circle Drive is the Hell's Angels clubhouse.
Stanley said deputies seized guns, explosives, illegal controlled substances such as methamphetamines, cocaine, and marijuana.
In addition to Sluder's arrest, William David Taylor, 41, Oscar Benjamin Tadlock Jr., 46, and Jason Edward Beard, 42 -- all said to be affiliated with the gang -- were arrested and charged Monday. A fifth person was arrested Tuesday in the investigation. Stanley said Robert Joe Pugh, 56, was arrested and charged with larceny. He was released after posting a $1,000 bond.
Sluder was charged with possession of a stolen firearm and possession of a weapon of mass destruction and was released from the Forsyth County Jail after posting a $10,000.
Taylor was charged with two counts of trafficking methamphetamine, selling methamphetamine, possession with the intent to sell and deliver methamphetamine, maintaining a dwelling for drugs, possession of stolen firearm, possession of weapon of mass destruction and felony larceny. He was being held on a $500,000.
Tadlock Jr. was charged with trafficking opium/heroin, possession with the intent to sell and deliver cocaine, felony possession of marijuana, selling cocaine, possession with the intent to sell and deliver cocaine and maintaining a dwelling for drugs. He was being held on a $260,000 bond.
Beard was charged with possession with the intent to sell and deliver methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was released after posting a $15,000 bond.
The investigation into Dwight Sluder's death remains open.
Investigators said in September that there were no signs of forced entry, no signs of a robbery and no signs of a struggle. Investigators have said they think Sluder's killer knew him and could have been a business acquaintance or a member of a rival gang.

Zara Warehouse Clearance 2009
I'm not personally interested in fashion & brands that much , but still I have my wife to follow all these clearances. We have been to many of them in Malaysia within the past two years we have been here, such as: CK, Padini, Dior, Pull & Bear, Zara & ...
This last one of Zara in my opinion was not that good I expected. Most of the sizes were not available. (Although we entered by the first minutes of its opening) Models were somehow old. However people were so happy about it, specially women of course. They had at least four times more options of choosing since they are basically woman & there were much more women stuff over there.
Most of the time, I was standing in a corner & observing people's behaviors & reflections.
They were so crazy about what they have find & what prices are available. It was like its a great job they have done. They somehow felt like, they are the only person who could buy such thing.
Human behavior is sometimes so limited to the moment and very subjective. It makes me to be sorry about our generation.
There were times,not long ago that fashion did not exist or at least it was not this much important and no one had any problem wearing any clothes, as long as they were neat & clean. What happened? Economy? Market? Advertising? Money? .... We spend money on things that we don't really need them and we buy them just in case, because they are cheap! wow! what a sensational act of us! so smart! Really?
I bought a small shirt of Zara only with a price of RM10 , almost 3.5 USD! I didn't need it too. So I bought it just in case. I have been outsmarted, I believe!

Mont Kiara of Kuala Lumpur
"Kuala Lumpur" is not a big city in my opinion who have lived in "Tehran" for many years. Traveling with car in this city is quiet easy compared to Tehran. Although Malaysian who live here do not call the whole area as "Kuala Lumpur" & all the suburb have their own local names.
By the way am living in KL and the area I live is called "Mont Kiara". Its mostly packed with residential condominiums and is a place of living for expats & foreigners who work in Kuala Lumpur.
By the way am living in KL and the area I live is called "Mont Kiara". Its mostly packed with residential condominiums and is a place of living for expats & foreigners who work in Kuala Lumpur.
There are many International Schools which is one reason for expats to live around. Also there are a few shopping malls which are not the main shopping malls of the city however are enough for the neighborhood.
Based on the presence of all these different nationalities (Korean, British, Arabs, French, Spanish & ...) who live in this area, there has been many improvements since past few years. Many new outlets and restaurants have been opened which are mostly considered luxurious and expensive. Also the price of property in this area is high in compare to other areas of the city.
The weather is a bit better than city center , in a way that you can go for walking in the afternoons if its not raining. The area has mostly good enough pavements.
Our Magazine which is called "Neighbor Ads" will cover this area. We are still working on it.

Ian Grant was eligible for accelerated day parole because he has served one-sixth of his first federal sentence for what are considered non-violent crimes
Ian Grant was eligible for accelerated day parole because he has served one-sixth of his first federal sentence for what are considered non-violent crimes. But the National Parole Board quickly rejected his bid earlier this month, according to documents obtained by the Winnipeg Free Press.“The board is satisfied there are reasonable grounds to believe that, if released, you are likely to commit an offence involving violence before the expiration of your sentence,” the board wrote.Police arrested Grant and 12 other biker associates in February 2006 based on the work of career criminal Franco Atanasovic, who was paid $525,000 to infiltrate the Hells.Grant wasn’t even an original target when police began their investigation in early 2005, but he quickly came on the radar when he began extorting an old drug debt from Atanasovic. Police ended up giving their agent thousands of dollars to pay to Grant to buy him more time. Grant eventually sold two kilograms of cocaine and one kilo of crystal meth to Atanasovic, although he was never actually caught in the act. He used lower-level couriers to do his bidding, but jurors clearly accepted the agent’s word they were acting on Grant’s directions. More than $6,000 in marked police money used in the drug buys was found inside Grant’s safety deposit box, along with nearly $60,000 in other cash from drug proceeds.Grant insisted his crimes were not connected to his involvement with the Hells Angels. Grant was ordered at his sentencing hearing to pay a $118,000 fine, which is the amount he pocketed from three major drug deals he was caught doing. However, he recently chose to have an extra two years added to his overall sentence.The 17-year total penalty is one of the stiffest ever given for drug crimes in this province.
Jason William Brown, 34, was among 18 members of the Hells Angels or associates arrested

Your Income & Where You stand in the World!!!
I heard somewhere that about 500,000,000 People in the world are almost homeless & poor. I don't think its wrong. On the other hand I know almost 15% of the world population are enjoying more than 90% of money & sources in the world. These statistics are absolutely true & shocking in my opinion. Who's really doing something serious about it?
I don't like the ideas of socialism and/or Communism and/or ... any other political/social activities. By this I mean what real practical, conclusive act has been made?! I know nothing serious is undergoing about this.
one more point :
ONLY IF THOSE 15% RICH POPULATION OF THE WORLD, SHARE ONLY 10$ EACH MONTH, THEY CAN CLEAN THE WHOLE WORLD FROM POOR PEOPLE & HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS. BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A FAR DREAM.
WHY SUCH SIMPLE ACT , HAS BEEN A DREAM IN OUR WORLD?
Check this website , here you can see in this world in which you may feel you don't have enough money to spend on fancy stuff , where do you stand?

Challenges of a New Country, New Plan
Coming to a new country with some intentions & plans, however the plan goes totally in a new direction and you find yourself lost in different ideas & plans! This happened to me!
Malaysia is a great country with many positive facts for me & my wife, though staying a little confused maybe difficult, specially within the first years of marriage. Thanks to life that we are doing great between ourselves, however we were lost in ideas for a long time.
Recently an idea of establishing a new magazine was suggested by a friend of mine & at this time we are working on it. It's almost more than two weeks that we are only doing market researches & market evaluation with different points of views and try to be as innovative as we can.
I can not reveal the idea behind this magazine at this time, since it's still not published and the idea is almost unique. (at least in Malaysia) We must go through a long path of publishing permit and bureaucratic procedures of Malaysia. I hope this one works.
I will let you know about the first issue of our magazine as soon as its out.

James Vernon Hoback, 43, an auto mechanic from Pilot, Va., known as "Timex," admitted in federal court Tuesday that he helped others take military grade C4 and two hand grenades across state lines to Princeton
James Vernon Hoback, 43, an auto mechanic from Pilot, Va., known as "Timex," admitted in federal court Tuesday that he helped others take military grade C4 and two hand grenades across state lines to Princeton, W.Va.The explosives were part of a stockpile of weapons to be used in an ongoing war against the Hell's Angels, a rival motorcycle gang that had a longstanding turf war with the Pagans, according to a stipulation of facts filed as part of Hoback's plea.Hoback was one of 55 defendants named in a sweeping 44-count indictment unsealed last month in Charleston. Prosecutors allege that the Pagans and affiliated motorcycle gangs used violence and intimidation to control a criminal organization that operated from New Jersey to Florida.Several Pagans, including national president David K. "Bart" Barbeito, 49, of Myersville, Md., and Floyd B. "Jessie" Moore, 64, of St. Albans, face racketeering charges for allegedly trying to strong-arm members of smaller clubs into following orders from the Pagans' governing body, or "Mother Club."
Other counts accuse gang members and associates of kidnapping, robbery and attempted murder for conspiring to kill an incarcerated member of the Pagans whom they believed was cooperating with law enforcement. The indictment also alleges that proceeds from illegal raffles -- purportedly for non-existent motorcycles -- were funneled into the criminal enterprise.According to Hoback's stipulation, Charles H. "Tombstone Charlie" Nichols, of Roanoke, Va., obtained the explosives and gave them to Hoback, who in turn gave them to Richard Howard Leslie "Reverse" Smith. Smith, 58, also of Roanoke, Va., took the C4 and hand grenades to Ronnie Howerton, a member of the Pagans who was known to be collecting weapons to use against the Hell's Angels, in Princeton, the stipulation states.
"Hoback helped transfer the explosives to Howerton with the intent that the explosives would be used to kill, injure or intimidate another individual," the stipulation states.Although Smith and Nichols were named in the indictment, Howerton was not.Nichols died last month while in custody at the South Central Regional Jail. Authorities said Nichols died from complications from previous medical conditions.Hoback faces up to 10 years in prison when sentenced by U.S. District Judge Thomas E. Johnston on March 8.

Memories of a lost angel
We were about six or seven years old. Summers & the strong sun of a blue sky in noon times of Tehran , Almost 1987. The war between Iran & Iraq was coming to an end , but no way we were not caring about the war as we were only engaged playing as deep as we could. Sweet and soft was my playmate. Sweet & soft was our small world in which we were only dreaming about a happy future. She was the best friend of mine, though she was my "Uncle's Daughter".
We used to go to our Grand Pa's home every weekend with our families. It was the best moments of those days, wandering around & not listening to anybodies advice on where to go and what to do.
Things are too complicated in a society. How one family can get too different from others around. This happened to her family and as she grew older, she got more & more separated.
We still met each other once in a while however she was forced to stay distanced from me, based on her father's religious views. I could feel the pain in her, I could see her efforts for being free. I could feel the way she looked in to my eyes every time.
I left Iran for my studies. She was 20 at this time. I heard the sad news , "she had cancer"!
There is too much of this story to explain ... But I don't want to!
She died at the same day of her birthday!

It's good to lose sometimes!
How many times have you faced a person who can not bear losing a game or such? Games are developed for entertainment from chess & backgammon, to video games and even sports. They are all some sort of mankind creation to develop some sort of skills in an individual while having fun & spending time without stress & pressure. Although some of their concepts have been changed through time like most of the sports like: Football, Basketball & ... They have been professionalized and became some sort of career for those who play them, still most of them are considered as fun.
But have you ever confront with a person that can not bear losing a game? Some people only must win, otherwise they become mad & act like a fool, very angry. Playing cards & at the end shouting and throwing the cards! Playing computer games & at the end shutting down the final moments of the game!!! I wonder how some people have not developed this simple trait in their character, to see others can win too!
In my opinion its usually driving from family & how these people have been treated from childhood. Parents usually want to be proud of their kids & try to keep them always happy!
They have not tried to show their children, that it's always possible to lose as well, that losing is part of life and maybe the first steps to learn more. That's how always these children must win to stay happy; Otherwise they don't know how to respond to the society.
what do you think?
what may be the source of this actions & behavior?

20 members of the Iron Horsemen, Vigilantes and Hells Angels bikie gangs, including the Hells Angels, converged
20 members of several bikie gangs, including the Hells Angels, converged on the scene as paramedics tended to the injured 45-year-old man and his 46-year-old female pillion passenger. The pair, both from Craigieburn, were travelling north along La Trobe Tce at the intersection of Roebuck St in Geelong just after 4pm, when witnesses say the man was catapulted above the height of the purple Honda, which was heading east through the intersection. It is believed the pair had been travelling as part of a motorcycle club convoy around the bay when the crash occurred. Both were rushed to Geelong Hospital, where the man was last night in a serious but stable condition, while the woman was considered stable. The elderly female driver of the other vehicle appeared to walk away unscathed. About two dozen motorcycle gang members, including members from the Iron Horsemen, Vigilantes and Hells Angels, were beside the road consoling one another at the scene after the incident. Several held vigil outside Geelong Hospital last night. A police spokesperson could not confirm if the pair were members of a motorcycle gang. Witnesses told the Geelong Advertiser part of a larger convoy of riders had successfully made it through the intersection before the crash.
"I noticed a few bikies went through before the change (of lights)," one witness, who was stopped at the intersection travelling southbound, said
"One body flew up in the air a bit above the height of the car and another one went on the ground. The first guy didn't look like he was moving and the second one looked like they just clipped it." The Honda had a broken window and damage to the driver's side, while the motorbike, with a mangled front wheel, was towed away by a private vehicle after being lifted into a trailer by several club members. The accident blocked northbound traffic along La Trobe Tce, which was diverted along Myers St for more than 15 minutes, while ambulance officers stabilised the two riders and firefighters dusted the road with dirt to soak up oil spilled from the accident.

Hells Angels bullied their way into legitimate businesses and used them for money-laundering
Hells Angels bullied their way into legitimate businesses and used them for money-laundering. The arrests helped underscore the towering scale of an ongoing scandal in Quebec over the construction industry’s criminal underbelly. The arrests were completely separate from Operation Hammer, the high-profile probe into allegations of Mafia-related activity that have rocked the industry and the province’s political class.
The arrests Tuesday stemmed from an earlier probe into just one network, in just one criminal organization — the Hells biker gang. Police told a news conference that they began their investigation into the Hells’ construction ties in March, and had issued 20 arrest warrants since then for crimes ranging from extortion, to uttering threats, to money-laundering. They arrested 10 people Tuesday in the final phase of that investigation, dubbed Operation Diligence. A police spokesman said four other people were still being sought on warrants and remained on the lam.
Quebec’s construction industry has come under heavy scrutiny more recently, amid reports of companies colluding to boost the cost of construction projects, then funding political parties and sharing their profits with the Mafia.
Those allegations caused the provincial government to launch a separate investigation — Operation Hammer — last month.
The earlier investigation — Operation Diligence — stemmed from a crackdown on the Hells Angels last spring. Provincial police began investigating biker activity in the industry for the purpose of money-laundering.
Tuesday’s arrests are being linked to Normand Marvin “Casper“ Ouimet, an alleged Hells Angels member wanted for first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and gangsterism. He remains at large.
Police say Ouimet, 39, is a player in Quebec’s construction and masonry industry.

The Riders have many characteristics of an outlaw motorcycle gang, and operate under the control of the Hells Angels
leather vests and jackets are emblazoned with diabolic skulls in fedoras and the words "Bay Riders." The club is a registered nonprofit, and was recently on the TV news for donating $1,000 to foster kids. But police don't buy the philanthropic Santa on wheels bit. They say the Riders have many characteristics of an outlaw motorcycle gang, and operate under the control of the Hells Angels.Officer Dan Silver, the gang task force cop who monitors the group with an FBI partner, says the Riders are the biggest Angels support club that sprang up a year ago in response to the murder of Mark "Papa" Guardado. Guardado, the president of Hells Angels' Frisco chapter, was gunned down in the Mission in September 2008, allegedly by a rival Mongols motorcycle gang member.Silver says there are at least 30 Bay Riders members in San Francisco, the North Bay, and the Peninsula. They dock their bikes at hangouts in the Excelsior, SOMA, Dogpatch, and the Embarcadero, and have been advertising their first anniversary motorcycle run on Nov. 8. "To keep the Mongols out of the city, the Bay Riders appeared like wildfire," he says. "A huge new group was formed to increase the number of allied personnel."The Riders first appeared on the cops' radar at their "Break Out Party" one year ago at Jelly's club on Pier 50, which ended in gunfire. The club's manager said he heard a car had driven up to the club, "ghost ridding [sic], wilding out, driving out of control," according to the police report. Someone opened fire on the vehicle and hit the woman passenger in the shoulder. She survived, and police have made no arrests in the case.Silver suspects the Riders "are being tasked with doing things for the Hells Angels," like providing security at events. In late August, SF Weekly talked to a man who identified as a Rider hanging outside Pier 23 on the Embarcadero. He said Riders are required to attend Angels events, and that some Riders were transporting out-of-town Angels to and from the 55th anniversary party of the Frisco chapter that very night."I think there's a strong possibility we're going to see some Bay Riders become Hells Angels," Silver says, adding he had heard at least one Rider was "prospecting" to become an Angel, something akin to rushing the biker fraternity.We requested an interview with the Riders' CEO, but he refused to speak on the record. We did talk to Dominic Guardado, son of the late Mark Guardado, who confirmed that he and his brother are Riders members but refused to discuss any connection to the Angels. "If you put only what the SFPD has to say, people will probably see only see the negative aspects," he said, adding, "We're all about the community. We're not around to intimidate people. We're motorcycle enthusiasts."

The November 4th in Iran ... From 1980 to 2009
It was November 4th 1980 when some groups of Iranian Students by the order of some political leaders & hardliners invaded the American embassy in Tehran & captured its employees as hostages, since then Islamic Republic of Iran had no direct political relationships with America & there was no embassy of USA in Tehran, nor embassy of Iran in USA.
It's been said that many politicians did not agree with such invasion to the US embassy however no one directly claimed this idea since it had been supported by "Ayatollah Khomeini" as the leader of the country on that time.
This is November 4th 2009. This is almost 5 months after Iran's questionable election which leaded to second term presidency of Mahmud Ahmadinejad. Each year the government celebrates 4th of November as a day of "getting rid of America" anniversary & so called as "Student Day" in Iran. However this time students have something different in their path. In continuation of the "Green Movement" & in support of all prisoners of these past few months, In Support of Democracy & for the sake of a better future, they plan to make this day as "Green" as possible. The government of Iran is getting worried and started to spread fearful notices in order to avoid any demonstration, However they are going to be wasted.
Tomorrow, Tehran will be green again & I've heard that tonight people are chanting on rooftops the songs & slogans that they sing every night when they want to show their solidarity, when ever they want to say: WE ARE STILL HERE!
