North Carolina -- home to former Sen.. John Edwards and future Sen. Paula Broadwell?
Not a chance that'll happen now that Charlotte-based Broadwell has been outed as David Petraeus' mistress and co-star of the most-talked-about extramarital romance since, well, John Edwards and Charlotte-based Rielle Hunter.
But Time magazine reports that Broadwell had a plan to run for the Senate, as a Republican from the Tar Heel State.
Over drinks in Aspen, Colo., last July, she told a small group that she had been approached by some "Republican moneymen," as Time put it, about running -- presumably against Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan, who is up for re-election in 2014. (Republican Sen. Richard Burr won a second term in 2010).
She was tempted. But Petraeus shot down her plan, Broadwell told the group "in an irritated tone," the magazine said.
Petraeus -- ex-CIA director, retired general and subject of a gushing 2012 biography by Broadwell -- interrogated her about her positions on several issues: abortion, climate change, gun control, gay marriage, tax cuts, Social Security vouchers.
"Her answers, he told her, would not fit either party and she should not sell herself out," Time reported.
Like Petraeus, Broadwell graduated from the U.S. Military Academy. She went on to become a counterterrorism expert. Her book is titled "All In: The Education of General David Petraeus."

Her plan: Senator Paula Broadwell, R-N.C.

Oh please. Trying to redefine what it means to be a Republican these days by pointing out that at times in the past they actually WERE sane and reasonable (to a degree) means you understand what they actually are now. Which is to say, reactionary, petulant, and profoundly bigoted and racist. And that's a "conservative" assessment. It's also why they lost the election.
There is no other way to explain the way they've treated President Obama since BEFORE he was even inaugurated. It's been beyond disgusting. And now they're REALLY ticked off.

If she were a Dem she could still run. Oh, and Archiguy... what you are doing is called Projection... it's liberals who throw around the word "hate" all the time and make ads like Romney pushing a elderly person in a wheelchair off a cliff and Michael Moore's cursing senior citizen ads... all the while proclaiming themselves to be the tolerant ones!

John - Don't mistake simple observation and listening to the stuff they say with intolerance. I'm intolerant of lies and obfuscation coming from my elected officials and their supporters, right or left, so sue me. The problem is simply more pervasive in Republicans these days.
That's as silly as Republicans cursing the "liberal media" for the crime of simply reporting the exact words that Sarah Palin says, or Todd Aiken says, or Mitt Romney says (to a roomful of Republican doners), etc. They damn themselves with their own words and deeds.

Obama with 6.5 trillion of his own lousy Santa Claus red ink debt in less than 4 years needs to END all govt entitlements except for retirement age 66 with SS benefits only other than those who have contributed over many years to a 401k or retirement program. Unless disabled no early retirement for anyone in govt including military and presidents. Top retirement pay should be 50,000 max for any top official.
Obamacare is a fraud and a total crock. Wasn't he going to cut medical costs by 50% across the board yet he has done nothing whatsoever as the ever rising grossly excessive expenses continue to rise causing employers insurance to skyrocket as benefits continue to plummet with increasing co-pays and rising deductibles as high as 10,000.
The American Dream of home ownership was a complete housing bubble bust as banks paid the price of liberalism.
Real estate does NOT need to rise as so called economic experts demand that will only create a new housing bubble and start the insanity all over again.
Obama is a highly destructive socialist mouthpiece completely ignorant of business who only wastes trillions in handouts while turning a western modern world into a poor mooching welfare 3rd world banana republic like Haiti or Mexico City and couldn't run a kids lemon aid stand. The only thing he can run is his big mouth bellowing like a cow but never saying anything.

Bush could have saved 3 trill and 4500 troops by simply dropping 1000 megatron dirty nuclear warheads on the entire pagan muslim world vaporizing 1.5 bill ragheads and taken all oil fields to get gas down to 40-50 cent a gal. Hindsight is 20/20 though but whatever you do dont let the socialist muslim radical jihadist pagan mysteriously smuggled into the WH due to economic collaspe get rid of the US nuclear arsenal as he has been trying for 4 years. You dont have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out.
Muslims the world over sighed a collective relief when Romney was rigged to lose who knew exactly what had to be done.

In the incompetent age of Obama where less than 50% of college grads can even find work and who owns over a trillion in unpaid college loans, the college B.A. degree has become the equivalent of a high school diploma.
But lets reject the highly gifted top job creator and much more qualified experienced business leader Romney for president who was going to do the job pro bono?

Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on a program that will give me the averages of scores and stores them into a one-dimensional arrray. I'm having trouble in regards to where I should be putting the code that will give me the table for my calculations.
Before or after my calculations?
This is what the table should look like:
So far for the table I have the following:
I'm not sure how to continue it. To show #1, #2 etc depending on the amount of scores per student. (As it will not always be 4)Code:cout << left; cout << setw(25) << "Global Navigation\n"; << setw(21) << "Grade Report - Summer 2008\n"; << setw(12) << "Instructor : C. Columbus Section No. 0104\n\n"; << setw (0) << "Name" << setw (20) << "#
I hope I've made myself clear.
Any help would be appreciated!

Paragliding school | Paragliding shop
+34 973455023
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Parapent Emoció S.L.
Camí del Montsec, s/n
Very friendly and helpful staff. If you like adrenaline you will definitely like paragliding, the view is incredible!
At Entrenuvols, our two teenage sons had their first parasailing adventure. It was a wonderful experience. From start (making reservations) to finish (finding an alternate location to launch the flight), we were well looked after by the Entrenuvols staff and pilots. It was quite obvious that the staff of Entrenuvols were very knowledgeable and passionate about parasailing. Because we couldn't reserve via the website, the company responded promptly to emails (in English) and allowed us to make reservations without a deposit. The planned launch site didn't offer good flight conditions on that day so the company drove our entire family to a 2nd (even more beautiful) launch site an hour away (what an adventure!), so that the boys could have their flight. Wonderful people at Entrenuvols who know their business, are concerned about safety and treated our family like guests. Tip: Opt for the photos of the flight - they are delivered to you at the end of the flight on a USB key and are completely worth the small additional charge.
Great school made by amazing people. I had a lot of fun last summer taking on paragling lessons

Mennonite Mission Church (Hannibal, Missouri, USA)
Mennonite Mission Church (Mennonite Church), 1530 Lyon Street, Hannibal, Missouri, USA), formerly known as the Mennonite Gospel Mission, 2313 Market Street, was a member of the South Central Conference, with a membership in 1956 of 77. Mennonite services were first conducted in Hannibal by members of the Palmyra Mennonite Church in 1927. Nelson E. Kauffman was appointed the first superintendent by the Missouri-Kansas District Mission Board in 1934, and the congregation was organized in August 1934. A church was built at 1530 Lyon Street in 1936. Young men were given missionary apprenticeship experience there after 1939. Nelson E. Kauffman served as the minister from August 1934, and bishop from September 1940, with Harold Kreider as minister. In 1956 Kauffman moved to Elkhart, IN, and Kreider became pastor of the congregation.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – The disappointment is still sinking in for restaurants in downtown St. Augustine after they didn't have the big sales the expected for the Gentlmen of the Road concert last weekend.
For restaurants like Le Pavillon, sales took a dive.
Instead of getting new customers, it ended up costing businesses money.
"We even ordered extra food, too, a few different things we don't normally have, and we were sad because we did not get the business we thought we would get," said Christine Connell, of Le Pavilion.
The restaurant blames road closures.
"Around noon on Friday, we had gotten word that the road was closed down by the carousel and Dunkin Donuts on San Marco (Avenue), which they were not supposed to close by 8 p.m.," Connell said.
Mayor Joe Bolles said the city doesn't yet know how much money was made or lost over the weekend, but he agrees that in the future the city will adjust how it conducts road closures.
Bolles admitted that some restaurants got hit hard, losing thousands of dollars, including a restaurant right across the street from the concert venue -- Barnacle Bills.
The mayor said this is a learning process because the city has never had an event this big. And although changes will be made in the future, not everything was a bust.
A French bakery in walking distance from the concert says business was booming.
"It was the best day that we ever had since we been here since January," said Nadia, of Les Petits Pleasures. "And usually the Fourth of July is the best day of the year, but this one bests the Fourth of July."
The mayor also wants people in the city to take note that local lodging made a lot of money last weekend. He said one hotel told him nearly every guest rebooked to visit the city again.

Catalog is an experiment from the biz side of Jalopnik. (So to be clear, this post is not editorial). Now and then, we'll deliver content about products you can buy... or at least dream of buying. Catalog's first contributor is Bureau of Trade, a digital authority in acquiring analog cultural objects.
Batman has his eponymous-mobile. Knight Rider has his sentient Trans Am. And Jay Leno has his Holland Boomer 8N Tractor. Mostly interesting and iconic means of conveyance, to be sure, but we wouldn't want to drive any of them.
For our money, the best car that was also made famous by an action hero is the Volvo P1800, driven by Roger Moore in The Saint, the British telly-series that ran from 1962 until 1968 (Moore wouldn't become Bond until 1973 and in case you were wondering, he never drove the Aston Martin DB5).
But...Volvo? The company famous for boxy design and passenger safety, symbol of smug liberalism, the proto-Prius? Yes, that Volvo. The Swedish engineering team partnered with the British firm Jensen, who built the pressed-steel unibody shells for the 1800s. Like the Karmann Ghia and the Jensen 541s, the P1800 is that rare sport car with an intellectual bent, and an approachable price-point that makes Porsche owners wonder what they were thinking.
A well-priced 1965 coupe is available at Bureau of Trade (along with even better priced classic Fiat 500s and Pininfarina Spiders.)

Three sisters, ages 92, 94, and 96, live together. One night the 96-year-0ld draws a bath. She puts one foot in and pauses. "Was I getting in the tub or out?" she yells.
The 94-year-old hollers back, "I don't know, I'll come up to see." She starts up the stairs and stops. She shouts, "Was I going up or going down?"
The 92-year-old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea, listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says, "I sure hope I never get that forgetful", and knocks on wood for good measure. Then she yells, "I'll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who's at the door."

The Stokke® Xplory® is the stroller that grows with you and your child. The adjustable seat means your baby can face you rather than away from you. This encourages eye contact and feelings of safety, security and unity: it's the most comfortable position for a baby. Later the seat can be switched to face forwards so your growing child can begin to explore the world. Adjust the footrest downwards as your baby's legs get longer and alter the seat depth with the padded seat insert to ensure your baby is always sitting comfortably. The Stokke® Xplory® has large rear wheels and sporty, easy-swivel front wheels, making it supersimple to steer, even around the tightest city corners. The lack of a crossbar between the wheels leaves plenty of space for stretching your legs while walking and for even more child-safety the Stokke® Xplory® comes with an adjustable five-point harness.

Today, Linaro announces the formation of the Linaro Community Contributor Process and Team.
Linaro itself is now an organisation of around 120 engineers, but as we continue to grow the community around us is also growing fast. We're grateful to the many people who are participating in our success, and so we're introducing the Community Contributor process to recognise those community members who have sustained contributions over a significant period of time. Our Technical Leads now have the opportunity to nominate an individual as a Community Contributor of Linaro.
"When we founded Linaro we had no idea we'd have this amount of engagement and interest from this really broad community of developers interested in Linux on Arm. Interacting with them has been by far the most rewarding part of my role as VP of Engineering (sometimes known as VP of Troublemaking!)," says Linaro's Engineering VP, Christian Reis. "Officializing the engagement of these engineers and rewarding their participation are important steps that Linaro is undertaking to ensure we run an open forum where multiple (sometimes conflicting) perspectives are considered and converged."
Linaro CTO, David A Rusling, says, "Linaro is a very open and friendly organisation and I'm often asked how people can join in the work that Linaro does. When we first launched Linaro we had the idea of community contributors but felt that we had to build the teams and make an impact before we had the critical mass to support community contributors. Now I'm glad to say that we can and I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens next."
Zach Pfeffer, Android Platform Tech Lead at Linaro, attributes his motivation and excitement for encouraging community participation by referencing Linux founder, Linus Torvalds. Pfeffer paraphrasing Torvalds' sentiments says, "Linus told the Arm community to get its ass in gear. Linaro answered the call and now with the Linaro Community Contributor process, you can too!"
The benefits of becoming a Community Contributor will include:
- a Linaro e-mail address
- the right to carry Linaro business cards (we supply the artwork, you print your own cards)
- a Linaro IRC cloak
- listing in the relevant Working Group on our Linaro organisation structure
- listing in the Launchpad Community Contributors Team
Applying to be a Linaro Community Contributor is an easy process.
Community members can apply by requesting a nomination from a Linaro Technical Lead (alternately, the Technical Lead may approach them about the application).
After that they will need to complete and sign our Community Contributor Agreement.
The main points are that the community contributor agrees to are:
- to our e-mail terms of use, including use of your Linaro e-mail for upstream contributions
- a copyright and patent licence to Linaro for any code you contribute with that e-mail address
Once that's done, the Technical Lead submits the nomination and completed Agreement to our Community Board. The nomination will normally describe how the community member has worked with Linaro, any Blueprints they may have been involved with and Linaro Connect events they may have attended.
The Community Board then will evaluate all nominations within 2 weeks of submission and all being well the community member will be welcomed as a Community Contributor. We currently have nominations and signed agreements filtering in so this is an exciting time for all of us.
We place a lot of value on having a vibrant network of Community Contributors so this does mean we reserve the right to cancel an appointment at any time if we feel the Contributor is not active in using the above benefits.
Getting Involved
Linaro strives to work as openly and transparently as possible. We also welcome and encourage community involvement. Most of Linaro day-to-day affairs take place on IRC and via public mailing lists. We also use a public wiki to help document and track much of our work.
Find out you can be part of this exciting and growing community by visiting our community page.
About Linaro Linaro ™ is a Not-For-Profit software engineering company that works with the open source community to make it easier and faster to develop open source based devices. Linaro has the aim of investing new resources and aligning efforts from the industry to continuously improve and optimize open source software and tools on the Arm architecture with the goal of accelerating industry innovation. www.linaro.org

Lady Mormont is present at the feast for the Northern lords held in the Great Hall of Winterfell in which Greatjon Umber defies Robb Stark only to submit after two of his fingers are mutilated by Grey Wind. She's also present at the a war council discussing strategy with Robb Stark and his other bannermen in their camp at Moat Cailin.[1] She can be seen leading a force of men behind Robb as they arrive at The Twins.[2]
Maege is also present when the Greatjon proclaims Robb Stark the King in the North. Prior to the proclamation, Maege laughs loudly when the Greatjon complains about the southron gods worshiped by Renly and Stannis Baratheon.[3]

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Lady Maege, also known as "the She-Bear", is a stout grey haired woman and a fierce warrior. She dresses in mail and her favored weapon is a spiked mace. According to her brother, she is stubborn, short-tempered, and willful. She worked hard to regain the family's noble name and recover from the state of near-poverty her nephew, Lord Jorah, had left behind.
Maege has five daughters: Dacey, Alysane, Lyra, Jorelle, and Lyanna, the latter probably named for Lyanna Stark. Dacey was killed at the Red Wedding.
Before going to the Red Wedding, Robb commands Maege and Galbart Glover to take men by longship and sail through the marshes of the Neck to seek out Howland Reed, thus they do not attend the Red Wedding. He gives them letters for the Northern lords, explaining the letters contain false orders, in case they are captured by the Ironborn. While it is not explicitly written, it is presumed Robb also gave Maege and Galbart the royal decree he issued, by which he legitimized Jon Snow and named him his successor.
It is unknown whether Maege and Galbart reached their destination, and if they actually have Robb's decree in their possession.

If you have a higher quality version of the source image, or a more accurate reading of the text, please visit this article's Talk Page.
Ella Black (née Max) was a pure-blood witch who married a pure-blood wizard Cygnus Black I. They possibly had four children; Sirius, Phineas Nigellus, Iola and Elladora.
- Ella means "all" and is short form of a name Alia.
- Max is a short form of a name Maximilian. The name means "greatest".
- Therefore Ella Max can be translated as "the greatest of all".
- Ella's daughter Elladora was named after her, and her name etymology is symbolic: Elladora was Ella's gift, "Dora".
Behind the scenes
- This character's name appears only on the version of the Black family tapestry shown in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. She was not included on the version of the tree which J. K. Rowling gave to a charity auction in 2006.[3] However, according to director David Yates, Rowling provided the filmmakers with a copy of the Black family tree going back eight generations.[4] The filmmakers presumably received a more complete version of the tree than the one auctioned off, which only goes back six generations.
- Given her placement on the tree in the film, it is possible that this character was the mother of Sirius, Phineas Nigellus, Elladora, and Iola (the third of whom may have been named in her honour). Cygnus would be their father, and Arcturus an uncle.
- The names Ella, Ella-, -ella and -ella- appears many times in the Black family
- Ella Black née Max
- Elladora Black
- Cedrella Weasley née Black
- Druella Black née Rosier
- Bellatrix Lestrange née Black
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film) (Appears on Black family tapestry)
Notes and references
- ↑ Iola Black, who was probably Ella's youngest daughter, was born after Elladora (born in 1850); Cygnus, Ella's husband and so probably Iola's father, died in 1851, indicating that Iola was probably born little before his death, in 1851, or after his death, not after 1852. Ella couldn't have died before.
- ↑ It is a safe assumption that Ella was pure-blood given that Cygnus I was not blasted off the tree.
- ↑ "Black Family Tree" on The Harry Potter Lexicon
- ↑ "'Empire' Magazine Feature on OotP" from The Leaky Cauldron

Wood Canoe Manufacturer Database
Wood Canoe Manufacturers
The Haskell Boat Company of Ludington, Michigan, built a single model of 17 foot, molded plywood canoe from about 1917 until about 1934. Henry L.
J.H. (John Henry) Rushton began building boats in 1875 in Canton, New York. He quickly became well known for his Rob Roy-style decked canoes and pulling boats. He built the original Vesper decked sailing canoe for Robert Gibson who went on to win the first American Canoe Association International Challenge cup.
The Kennebec Boat and Canoe Company built its first canoes in December of 1909. The company was founded by George F. Terry, who was formerly a railroad station agent, ice cutter, publisher and merchandiser. Terry's son, George F. Terry, Jr. later joined the company and ran it until 1939. In 1939, the company was sold to Frank Terry and James Dean. A small number of canoes were built until the factory was closed for good in 1941.
At the end of World War 2, Ed Link was searching for a way to keep his factories going and his employees working. He was a pilot and the inventor of the flight trainer, with the homebase of Link Aviation Devices in Binghamton, NY. He owned a Grumman Widgeon floatplane and also enjoyed hunting and fishing.
The Old Town Canoe Company of Old Town, Maine was formed in 1901 as the Indian Old Town Canoe Company. After a short stint as the Robertson Old Town Canoe Company, with J.R. Robertson as partner, it became the Old Town Canoe Company. Still in business today, Old Town has built well over 200,000 wood canoes over the last hundred plus years.
The Ontario Canoe Company was founded in 1883 by Colonel James Z. Rogers in Peterborough, Ontario. The company's offerings were based on the cedar strip and cedar rib style canoes invented and patented by John Stephenson. The factory burned down May 9, 1892, and would not be re-built. Rogers would become supervisor of the newly-formed Peterborough Canoe Company, which was incorporated shortly before the Ontario Canoe Company burned down. Arthur Tebb, a former Ontario Canoe Company supervisor, and Felix Brownscombe formed the Canadian Canoe Company, also in 1892.
The Penn Yan Boat Company of Penn Yan, New York, was founded in the mid-1920s. Perhaps more well known for the outboard boats they built, the company built a variety of canvas covered canoes, and a fair number survive today. The company ceased building wood boats and canoes in the early 1960s, switching instead to all fiberglass production. No records are known to survive.
The Penobscot Canoe Company (also known as Pecaco) was founded in 1915 by Alfred Wickett, who was formerly employed by the Old Town Canoe Company. Alfred left the Penobscot Canoe Co. in 1920, moved to Missouri, and started the St. Louis Meramec Canoe Company. The Pecaco factory burned down in 1923.
The Peterborough Canoe Company was formed in 1892 in Peterborough, Ontario, just weeks before the Ontario Canoe Company burned down in May 1892. Col. James Z. Rogers, former president, general manager and one-third owner of the Ontario Canoe Company, owned 4% of the new company and became manager in 1893. The company continued to build the wide-board, cedar strip and cedar rib canoes much like the Ontario Canoe Company had before them.
When the Racine Boat Manufacturing Company factory burned down in 1903, the company relocated and rebuilt in Muskegon, Michigan. In March, 1905, a number of workers who had moved to Muskegon returned to Racine and incorporated the Racine Boat and Canoe Company, which they shortened to Racine Boat Company in August that same year.

Former police agent Micheal Plante met with Vancouver Sun crime reporter Kim Bolan in late 2012 to tell his incredible story about infiltrating the East End chapter of the Hells Angels and helping police put 12 men behind bars. He did not disclose his new name or residence.
In part five, Plante described the challenge of preparing for a series of trials and how he felt when it was all over. In part six, the RCMP's top cop — Commissioner Bob Paulson, pictured above — reflects on his role as a leader of the E-Pandora investigation and its significance in taking on the Hells Angels in B.C.
Almost a decade after police launched a massive undercover operation targeting the East End Hells Angels, the notorious biker gang is no longer immune from arrest and prosecution, Canada's top Mountie says.
RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson, who as an inspector led the B.C. investigation dubbed E-Pandora, said the case rattled the Hells Angels and destroyed their illusion of impenetrability.
Twelve Hells Angels and associates were convicted in E-Pandora, in which police agent Micheal Plante infiltrated the End End chapter and collected evidence of their crimes for months.
The investigation also showed police that "these guys could be gotten," Paulson said.
"There had been other efforts to get them — you get one here and you get one there. And so, by using the agent approach, it had a couple of effects. It got us a lot of evidence. It also destabilized them and it sort of made everybody look around the corner a little bit more and have less confidence in their ability to operate outside of the law with that confidence in their solidarity."
Since E-Pandora, which formally ended Oct. 30, 2012 when a final charge was stayed, the Hells Angels' power has waned.
"They're vulnerable," Paulson said. "And I think many of the experiences across Canada have demonstrated that. Really, this idea that 'We're solid bad guys sticking together,' the biker version of omerta, is a bit of an illusion."
Paulson praised Plante for the risky and valuable work he did on the investigation.
"I have got a lot of respect for him, for what he did and how he did it," Paulson said. "It was very stressful for him. It was very dangerous for him."
His only regret is that Plante couldn't have stayed undercover a little longer, but he recognizes "there was an awful lot of pressure on Mike.
"There was an awful lot of pressure on the team," he added. "We were getting an awful lot of evidence."
Efforts paid off
Paulson developed the protocol for the maverick investigation, which relied on Criminal Code exemptions allowing a police agent to participate in crimes such as drug trafficking during an undercover probe like E-Pandora.
Plante worked with several bikers and associates in the drug trade for months in order to collect evidence of the Hells Angels' trafficking.
Everything Plante did with the gang was carefully documented. He wore a wire to record conversations. Police made surveillance videos of meetings. If Plante picked up a load of meth or a bag of guns, he would take them to the police safe house so they could be photographed. The flashy Mustang police provided to Plante had a video camera in the trunk and more recording devices.
Paulson said it was tough for police to allow drug transactions to be completed, but it was the only way to prove the bigger conspiracies involving several bikers.
"It did pay off in court. It demonstrated the resolve and the capability of the police to convince the courts that this was an honourable strategy to track those transactions to allow under certain conditions drugs to remain in circulation while we demonstrated advancement in the evidence chain," he said.
"It is a tough idea to explain to people that don't take the time to dive into the issues. Allowing drugs to remain in circulation while the police are there looking at them — it is almost counterintuitive. It's hard to overlook that. That's why I think this documenting and fairly onerous logistical element to the evidence collection was so vital there."
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Victor Curtis commented on the dilemma in his watershed ruling upholding the police tactics in E-Pandora.
"Large quantities of drugs were released into the community — drugs which could cause death or serious injury in their consumption and trafficking," Curtis said. "However, significant quantities of drugs were removed from the community during the investigation and it would appear that the investigation, by reasonable inference, has seriously disrupted and prevented the distribution of much larger quantities of drugs."
Despite all the convictions, three attempts to get the Hells Angels declared a criminal organization were unsuccessful in E-Pandora, something Paulson regrets.
While judges in Ontario and Quebec have declared the gang a criminal organization, resulting in longer sentences for members who are convicted, the same order has yet to be made about the Hells Angels in B.C.
"It was disappointing, but the outcome was very rewarding. An objective of the project was to bring a criminal organization prosecution and for whatever reason, it didn't happen. But it doesn't detract from the lengthy list of bad guys that we got."
The longest E-Pandora prosecution was a jury trial that ended in July 2009 when East End members John Punko, Jean Violette, Randy Potts and Ronaldo Lising were convicted on a series of charges, but acquitted of belonging to a criminal organization.
The jury simply listed guilty or not guilty to the various counts, providing no insight into their reasons for acquitting on the organized crime count.
The Hells Angels today remain a priority for the RCMP and other law enforcement agencies across the country, Paulson said.
"Where the Hells Angels present themselves as criminal threat, we go after them."
He said police prioritize organized-crime investigations based on "validated intelligence and evidence.
"So we continue to target them, as do our policing partners, where that intelligence is demonstrating active criminality. Let's not kid ourselves, they are a criminal organization. That's what they do for a living."
Court battles loom
In B.C., the Hells Angels have been hit particularly hard. There are several continuing prosecutions, including another attempt to get the Hells Angels declared a criminal organization.
In that case, Kelowna chapter vice-president David Giles — formerly a member of the targeted East End chapter — and sergeant-at-arms Bryan Oldham, as well as several associates, are facing a series of charges, including conspiracy to traffic cocaine and committing crimes for the Hells Angels as a criminal organization.
Two other Kelowna chapter members — Norman Cocks and Robert Thomas — and five associates are facing second-degree murder charges in the June 2011 beating death of Okanagan man Dain Phillips. Both Cocks and Thomas were also in the East End chapter when Plante infiltrated the Hells Angels. And high-profile B.C. HA member Larry Amero, who is part of the new West Point chapter — is facing cocaine conspiracy charges in Quebec.
There are also several civil forfeiture cases against the Hells Angels in this province. B.C.'s director of civil forfeiture wants to seize both the East End and Kelowna clubhouses, worth more than $1.2 million in total, because of their connections to criminal activity. In the last two weeks alone, the director has filed two more cases in B.C. Supreme Court against men convicted in E-Pandora, in an attempt to keep more than $245,000 seized by police during the investigation.
And the Hells Angels have yet to go to trial against the director to challenge the government's 2007 seizure of the Nanaimo clubhouse.
Giles and Kelowna member Hans Frederick Kurth are also battling the Canada Revenue Agency, which claims they owe back taxes.
There are also allegations in several Washington state drug cases that B.C. Hells Angels are behind cross-border cocaine and marijuana smuggling.
Several Hells Angels have quit the gang in the last several years as police have stepped up enforcement.
Among those no longer with the club are Lloyd (Louie) Robinson, who was a senior East End member, and Potts, one of the 12 convicted in E-Pandora. Both men were befriended by Plante in his efforts to infiltrate the East End chapter.
Last year, full-patch Hells Angel Mike Robatzek was kicked out of the biker gang's White Rock chapter after running into money troubles.
Other B.C. Hells Angels have faced a worse fate than expulsion.
Former East End enforcer Juel Stanton was executed at his Vancouver heritage house near city hall on Aug. 12, 2010 as he prepared to leave for work.
He had been booted from the club just three months earlier.
Founding Vancouver chapter member Angel Cedric Baxter Smith went missing from Langley in May 2008 and is presumed dead.
Smith had inadvertently brought another police agent to the Hells Angels that led to charges and convictions.
Across Canada, there are 29 active Hells Angels chapters and six "frozen" ones, meaning their membership has fallen below the six necessary in their rules to be an official chapter.
East End club decimated
Vancouver Det. Brad Stephen, one of Plante's handlers throughout E-Pandora, said the investigation was a critical turning point for the East End chapter.
"East End has never been the same. East End was at that time the most powerful chapter in Canada. And now they are absolutely decimated," he said. "The clubhouse is falling apart. Most of the members are well into their 50s and 60s."
Membership has fallen from 21 in 2004 to just nine today, though some former East End members have transferred to the Nomads and Kelowna chapter. There are no prospects or hangarounds waiting in the wings to become full-patch East End members.
RCMP Insp. Gary Shinkaruk, who oversaw Plante's mission, said that at one point in B.C., the Hells Angels' patch was "a criminal gold card" that signified undying loyalty among members and generated so much public terror that no one would help police fight them.
That isn't the case anymore.
"Certainly if you look at the East End specifically, they were viewed as one of the elite chapters," Shinkaruk said. "Now if you look at them in 2012, they are a broken-down chapter. We have certainly disrupted where they sit in the pecking order of criminal organizations."
Both the Kelowna and the Burnaby-based Nomads' chapters were also affected by E-Pandora, Shinkaruk said.
"You look at a number of senior influential Hells Angels who have quit the club — the infighting within those clubs and those members. They steal from one another. They talk about one another. There isn't really the loyalty that they purport to have."
