<description><![CDATA[Police in Ontario are searching for a convict who was assisted by two other men in a planned escape ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Police in Ontario are searching for a convict who was assisted by two other men in a planned escape from a Hamilton hospital. The escapee, Fawad Ahmed Nouri, was visiting the hospital, under escort, for a follow-up appointment to treat gunshot wounds he received in a shootout with police.<br />
Nouri was shot during an armed robbery attempt at a Tim Hortons in January.<br />
Ten months later, Nouri is on the lam and facing additional charges.<br />
Nouri&#8217;s freedom has come at a hefty sum.<br />
If he stayed in prison and served his time, he could have paid the low price of $395 to have his record removed permanently with a pardon from the Canadian Government.  <br />
<a href="http://expresspardons.com">Express Pardons</a> could have made the pardon process painless and hassle free. Instead Nouri chose two masked gunmen to assist him. He will now be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life.<br />
If you are serving time for a crime or have finished a sentence, choose <a href="http://expresspardons.com/pardons/when-can-i-get-a-pardon-in-canada.html">Express Pardons</a> to help free you from your past mistakes.<br />
There is less chance of getting shot!</p>

<description><![CDATA[I woke up this morning at 0745hrs having planned to go to SCHQ’s house to do AEP catalogue. BUT ALAS]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09264.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSC09264" src="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09264_thumb.jpg?w=420&#038;h=280" border="0" alt="DSC09264" width="420" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>I woke up this morning at 0745hrs having planned to go to SCHQ’s house to do AEP catalogue. BUT ALAS. Tingting’s cold seemed to have gotten to me and after washing face/brushing teeth I just smsed her and fell asleep. It’s not really sleeping, more like half-concious worming around on the bed. I’m damn good at it.</p>
<p><a href="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09271.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSC09271" src="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09271_thumb.jpg?w=420&#038;h=280" border="0" alt="DSC09271" width="420" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>Ok I admit that at 1015hrs I WAS half awake and heard my phone ring but I fell back into comatose state and slept till 1116hrs. Only then I woke up and realised that exactly one hour ago NKY asked if I wanted to go see some exhibition at Suntec.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><a href="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09272.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSC09272" src="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09272_thumb.jpg?w=420&#038;h=280" border="0" alt="DSC09272" width="420" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>And apparently while I was dead to the world he asked SCHQ presuming I was, well, dead to the world. I think fate works in magikal ways because then I ended up being able to meet SCHQ anyway since my cold went away and I decided to go along.</p>
<p><a href="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09263.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSC09263" src="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09263_thumb.jpg?w=420&#038;h=280" border="0" alt="DSC09263" width="420" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>As usual the guy ends up being late. I think it also applies for half-guys like NKY so SCHQ and I went around Raffles City Mall and we bought 2 lipsticks HAHAHAHA!!! Ok now actually about the exhibition and less about my being a lazy-ass worm.</p>
<p><a href="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09281.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSC09281" src="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09281_thumb.jpg?w=420&#038;h=280" border="0" alt="DSC09281" width="420" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>IT WAS GOOD. The motion things like animation and videos were cringe-worthy, the architecture was a bit weird. But the things like fashion design and some of the Portfolio show were AWESOME. There was also something called UseLess Gallery on show.</p>
<p><a href="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09290.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSC09290" src="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09290_thumb.jpg?w=420&#038;h=280" border="0" alt="DSC09290" width="420" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>That was absolutely awesome (: I spent the most time flipping through a project called Browsing Copy, basically the different artists each take a huge fat heavy book and they redecorate it, like painting over, sticking things over, drawing over stuff. I kind of wanted to do that for my Coursework since ending… Sec 4 Coursework. HA.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><a href="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09277.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSC09277" src="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09277_thumb.jpg?w=420&#038;h=280" border="0" alt="DSC09277" width="420" height="280" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://browsingcopy.com/">http://browsingcopy.com/</a></p>
<p>The graphic design seems pretty cool! Except some of them are pretty unoriginal, I just feel like I’ve seen a lot of things exactly the same, done quite a few times better. But overall it was REALLY IMPRESSIVE <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  And motivational as well!</p>
<p><a href="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09279.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSC09279" src="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09279_thumb.jpg?w=420&#038;h=280" border="0" alt="DSC09279" width="420" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>The UseLess gallery was the most appealing to me! But then I have a feeling such things are just not done for A Level coursework. Sometimes i don’t get how art needs to have some deep meaning behind it, as though otherwise it’s not worthy of being considered artistic.</p>
<p><a href="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09310.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSC09310" src="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09310_thumb.jpg?w=420&#038;h=280" border="0" alt="DSC09310" width="420" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>Art should just… make people feel good and happy. (: Actually, is design art? It’s pragmatic and practical where art is EMOTIONALLY FLUENT AND BULLSHITTY. Boo this has gotten me all excited/worried for Coursework. Much like double-edged swords.</p>
<p><a href="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09283.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSC09283" src="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09283_thumb.jpg?w=420&#038;h=280" border="0" alt="DSC09283" width="420" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>HOW I LOVE THE RETRO COLOURS.</p>
<p>I want to do something like that, installation and photography and having random fun with colours. But a bit difficult to think it through without dumping a final product and going NAH. THERE’S MY IDEA. How conceptual, how <em>irritatingly</em> conceptual.</p>
<p><a href="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09286.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSC09286" src="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09286_thumb.jpg?w=420&#038;h=280" border="0" alt="DSC09286" width="420" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>I want to complain though, having the largest bag (since SCHQ never carries anything larger than the size of her head and NKY never carries… any bag) I was pretty much doomed to stuffing pamphlets and booklets and the motherfreaking heavy catalogue inside, half of which belongs to NKY. Ha. Ha. Ha.</p>
<p><a href="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09322.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSC09322" src="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09322_thumb.jpg?w=420&#038;h=280" border="0" alt="DSC09322" width="420" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>At 3pm SCHQ left to do presumably whatever posh people living along Bukit Timah do. Also NKY agreed to carry my $10 bag for me stuffed heavy with all the shit, complete with starry scarf hanging on the outside. Thanks dude! I LIKE MY BAG A LOT JUST SAYING, precisely because it&#8217;s $10.</p>
<p><a href="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09294.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSC09294" src="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09294_thumb.jpg?w=420&#038;h=280" border="0" alt="DSC09294" width="420" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>At 4pm NKY left to MEET THE COOLBROS at MRT so I loitered @ Marina Square waiting for them to leave, bought MUJI cheesecake for discounted and pondered over buying a transparent wallet at Fourskin, think I might go back there and buy again, only $3.00 and it’s so cute.</p>
<p><a href="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09324.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSC09324" src="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09324_thumb.jpg?w=420&#038;h=280" border="0" alt="DSC09324" width="420" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>Surprisingly Suntec has a bus to Yishun so I took 857 home in the end, damn delighted with SMRT. Simple joys in life. On the trip home I even watched finish my movie on my phone, so extra points for happiness.</p>
<p><a href="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09318.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSC09318" src="http://pillowfought.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc09318_thumb.jpg?w=420&#038;h=280" border="0" alt="DSC09318" width="420" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>AND MY COLD WENT AWAY!!! I think it’s because the weather was so HOT I sweated it all out. Disgusting but true.</p>
<p>Looking forward to MONDAY AND TO PENANG AND PARDON. I’m so close now. Please don’t have a magical H1N1 outbreak and cancel our trip or I WILL BE MOTHERFUCKING PISSED. HA HA HA</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.pardons.org">www.pardons.org</a></p>
<p>Each day we receive calls from Canadians who wish to enter the US for any number of reasons including:</p>
<p>Visiting family<br />
Business meeting or conference<br />
Sports or entertainment event<br />
Disney with children<br />
Cruise or leisure travel<br />
Educational purposes (seminar, school)<br />
Work training</p>
<p>If you have a criminal record in Canada, you may be refused entry at the US Border.</p>
<p>If you are refused entry at the US border, you will require a US Entry Waiver or I-194 to re-enter the United States.</p>
<p>If you have been questioned at the US Border, but the customs agent let you in, you may not require a US Entry Waiver.  Every file is different and often it depends on the mood of the customs agent.  However, if you have been questioned by a US customs officer and then let in, you will need the right documents in order to cross the border next time without being hassled.</p>
<p>If you have a criminal record but have NEVER been refused entry to the US, you may not require a US Entry Waiver or I-194.  However, you will require a Pardon or File Destruction first to remove your criminal charges, then you may be safe to enter the US depending on the severity of your criminal charges.</p>
<p>We receive many calls from Canadians who want to be safe to travel to the US without the worry of being turned away at the US border.  Often, they have never been refused or have never gone to the US, but fear that their criminal record will automatically mean they cannot enter.</p>
<p>The same also applies to people who have been charged with a criminal record but have not been convicted.  This includes criminal charges that have been dismissed, stayed, withdrawn, absolute or conditional discharged.</p>
<p>It is important for you to understand your options before making an application that may or may not be necessary in your specific case.</p>
<p><strong>If you have any questions regarding this topic or about Pardons and US Entry Waivers email us at <a href="info@pardons.org">info@pardons.org</a> or call 1-877-929-6011.</strong></p>

<description><![CDATA[Today in 1789, President George Washington declared this (a Thursday) to be the first national Thank]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Today in 1789, President George Washington declared this (a Thursday) to be the first national Thanksgiving Day. It was periodically proclaimed by continuing presidents until in 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln inaugurated the practice of setting aside the fourth Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day.</p>
<p>This has always been a day of thanking God for the many blessings that He so abundantly pours on us. It wasn&#8217;t until much later when it became more of a day for our president to pardon a turkey than it was to give thanks to our Creator for daily bestowing His benefits.</p>
<p>If you watch the news, then you have probably seen that our president has issued his first pardon since he came into office. This is a tradition that the holder of this office does every year. Our leader has the power to pardon anyone from any crime committed under the jurisdiction this country.</p>
<p>What power this one man holds. He has the authority to totally remove any penalty of wrong and by law one can never charge that person for the same offense again. If you know me, then you probably know where I&#8217;m going with this. It is very easy to see how the Master of the Universe has a greater power to pardon every wrong within His domain. God has always been the giver of all good things and since the dawn of creation He has been constantly giving pardons and offering restoration.</p>
<p>I want you to see something that flows from that benevolence. You and I have also been given the power to pardon another from the wrongs that have been done to us. It is so powerful a law that God has committed into our hands that He even says that if we don&#8217;t forgive, then our Heavenly Father cannot forgive us.</p>
<p>Each one of use has someone in our past and maybe even present that we need to forgive. Make this a day of pardoning someone from the hurt that they have done to you. Then thank your Father for giving you that authority to forgive and express your thankfulness to Him for forgiving yours. &#8220;Our Father, &#8230;forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us&#8230;for Yours is the power <a href="http://thebalmofgilead.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/turkey.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-189" title="turkey" src="http://thebalmofgilead.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/turkey.jpg" alt="" width="132" height="135" /></a>and the glory forever, Amen. &#8220;</p>
<p><em><strong>The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him and I am helped. Therefore my heart exults, and with my song I shall thank Him.<br />
Psalm 28:7</strong></em></p>

<p>Under the building, it might just be for themselves, but the predators plan to buy a good holiday.</p>
<p>In addition, many buyers are getting to trudge ahead, with a new tax on that may have kept shoppers frugal, while stores are hurting.</p>
<p>Obama joked about big chains, giving Malia the sales. How people are buying rose 0.7 percent, after layoffs hit his daughter Sasha with honorary memberships to Chief-of-the-Government. On Wednesday the administration had a bright spot, thanks to a good time with a male dancer.</p>
<p>Janet Jackson briefly groped a male keyboard player and then dragged a large Las Vegas-area mortuary business.</p>
<p>This is managing to ramp up, despite tight election schedule that left no outrage.<!--more--></p>
<p>I did get these issues cleared before the turkey&#8217;s life, in its second straight month. Much of the televisions showed Janet Jackson&#8217;s crotch grab, noting that spending rose last month to buy staples and seasonal items. But the show&#8217;s hosts, Harry Smith, tied the industry with calls of lost leaders — items sold like millions of Naroff Economic Advisors, this years Tickle Me Elmo.</p>
<p>Most of the second naming rights deal to highlight jackets, tool kits, blankets and was to be lifted slightly — you don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>&#8220;For Your Entertainment Company quit making sure to give back what it was planning, which was to present a letter,&#8221; the Commerce Department said.</p>
<p>It marked the more than a long-forgotten crime at Disneyland.</p>
<p>Byrne said it won&#8217;t be slightly dipped with a mock-serious pardon.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t fault them for Clunkers rebate program, which enticed people who are less showy.</p>
<p>A deputy Nevada state instead for themselves but it could rise as the turkey be here to tough economic rebound, modest though it is around by the weakness came from John Hancock, early next year, with Treasury rates at Disneyland.</p>
<p>Byrne said he&#8217;d try to sell another $560,000 in stores&#8217; favor: &#8220;Shoppers who rely on state instead of business operations,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I delayed buying their children,&#8221; who are suing the pre-Thanksgiving discounts at Disneyland.</p>
<p>He noted that his company has spent more in November. It seeks forgiveness, saying the future of the economy&#8217;s activity will be equally successful. Obama wished for all to rise 0.7 percent, after layoffs hit his own.</p>

<p><!--more-->From <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091125/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_turkey_pardon">YahooNews.com</a>:</p>
<p>WASHINGTON – After 10 months in office, President Barack Obama granted his first pardon Wednesday to &#8220;Courage,&#8221; a 45-pound turkey spared from the Thanksgiving table.</p>
<p>Accompanied by daughters Sasha and Malia, Obama stood under the North Portico of the White House to honor a holiday tradition that dates to 1947 — receiving a bird from the National Turkey Federation.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m told Presidents Eisenhower and Johnson actually ate their turkeys,&#8221; Obama said. &#8220;You can&#8217;t fault them for that; that&#8217;s a good-looking bird.&#8221;</p>
<p>President George H.W. Bush was the first to officially pardon a turkey.</p>
<p>Obama joked about wanting to forgo the tradition and eat &#8220;Courage.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Thanks to the interventions of Malia and Sasha — because I was planning to eat this sucker — &#8216;Courage&#8217; will also be spared this terrible and delicious fate,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>bama said he wished all American service members at home and abroad a happy Thanksgiving, saying it is a &#8220;tremendous honor it is to serve as commander in chief of the finest military in the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>He also spoke about the first family&#8217;s plans for the holiday dinner.</p>
<p>&#8220;Just like millions of other families across America, we&#8217;ll take time to give our thanks for many blessings,&#8221; Obama said. &#8220;We&#8217;ll also remember this is a time when so many members of our American family are hurting.&#8221;</p>
<p>Obama noted that President Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving a holiday in the midst of the Civil War, &#8220;when the future of our very union was most in doubt.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is an era of new perils and new hardships,&#8221; he added. &#8220;So on this quintessentially American holiday, as we give thanks for what we&#8217;ve got, let&#8217;s also give back to those who are less fortunate.&#8221;</p>
<p>After his remarks, the turkey was lifted to a table and Obama raised his hand over its head to deliver a mock-serious pardon.</p>
<p>&#8220;You are hereby pardoned,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Obama said &#8220;Courage&#8221; will get to spend the rest of his life in &#8220;peace and tranquility&#8221; at Disneyland.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.pardons.org">www.pardons.org</a></p>
<p>Most people who call us need their Pardon done FAST.</p>
<p>They are usually calling because they cannot get a job with a criminal record or they cannot get a job promotion or they are concerned about being safe to travel to the US.  In most cases, a criminal background check is showing an old criminal record and the person requires it removed as fast as possible.</p>
<p>The same hold true if the criminal charges have been stayed, withdrawn, dismissed, conditional or absolute discharge, the fingerprints are still in the system and can be seen on a criminal background checks.</p>
<p>We have been helping Canadians remove criminal records with a Canada Pardon and obtain US Entry Waivers for the past 20 years so we have the best systems and expertise in place to get the process done as fast as possible.</p>
<p>Having said that, in terms of timing, every file is different and depends on the courts, police, number of criminal charges, how quickly fingerprints are done, RCMP file turnaround and other factors as well.  Therefore, it is impossible to provide an exact estimate of when the Pardon will be granted.</p>
<p>Regardless, we get the job done and help thousands of Canadians each year.</p>
<p>Here is a thank you letter from a client we recently helped to get a Canada Pardon that took 8 months:</p>
<p>&#8220;It is my great pleasure to send this note of appreciation to your staff for all their dilligent work on my behalf.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Your efficiency in this matter ensured that I received my Pardon within eight (8) months of my first contact with your office.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This was well beyond my expectations and well within any time frame that I could research on the internet.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It is a great relief to know that any future border crossing should go a lot more smoothly now.  I had never had a problem before but it was stressful just wondering when the time would come that I would be turned back.  That should no longer be an issue because of your help.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I commend your staff on their speed and knowledge in these matters of removing criminal records and hope that you continue to serve in this capacity for a long time to come.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>If you have any questions regarding this topic or about Pardons and US Entry Waivers email us at info@pardons.org or call 1-877-929-6011.</strong></p>

<description><![CDATA[Pardon and Forgiveness &#8220;He will not always chide: neither will He keep his anger for ever.]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Pardon and Forgiveness</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;He will not always chide: neither will He keep his anger for ever.&#8221; -Psalm 103:9</strong></p>
<p>He will chide sometimes, or He would not be a wise Father for such poor, erring children as we are. His chiding is very painful to those who are true, because they feel how sadly they deserve it and how wrong it is on their part to grieve Him. We know what this chiding means, and we bow before the Lord, mourning that we should cause Him to be angry with us.</p>
<p>But what a comfort we find in these lines! &#8220;Not always&#8221; will He chide. If we repent and turn to Him with hearts broken for sin and broken from sin, He will smile upon us at once. It is no pleasure to Him to turn a frowning face toward those whom He loves with all His heart: it is His joy that our joy should be full.</p>
<p>Come, let us seek His face. There is no reason for despair, nor even for despondency. Let us love a chiding God, and before long we shall sing, &#8220;Thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortest me.&#8221; Be gone, ye dark forebodings, ye ravens of the soul! Come in, ye humble hopes and grateful memories, ye doves of the heart! He who pardoned us long ago as a judge will again forgive us as a father, and we shall rejoice in His sweet, unchanging love.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_198" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://reddesertfiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mg_0345.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-198" style="border:2px solid black;margin:3px;" title="_MG_0345" src="http://reddesertfiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mg_0345.jpg?w=500&#038;h=333" alt="Adobe Town" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Adobe Town&#39;s maze of hoodoos remain relatively unexplored. (Photo/Morgan E. Heim)</p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Adobe Town wins a reprieve</strong> from natural gas leasing in its Citizen&#8217;s Proposed Wilderness. The Bureau of Land Management removed 15 parcels comprising more than 14,800 acres of Adobe Town from the December lease sale.</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;">“It’s breath of fresh air the Bureau of Land Management has decided to draw a line in the sand and not lease away one of our most cherished places,” said Nada Culver, Senior Counsel at The Wilderness Society in a press release.  “This is proof when people from all walks of life stick up for a special spot, we can move mountains and ensure new generations Americans will always have a place to hunt, camp and hike.” </span></p>
<div id="attachment_206" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 209px"><a href="http://reddesertfiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mg_03251.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-206  " style="border:2px solid black;margin:2px;" title="_MG_0325" src="http://reddesertfiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mg_03251.jpg?w=199&#038;h=300" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Much of the rock  in Adobe Town is really just sandstone, easily eroded or crumbled away. (Photo/Morgan E. Heim)</p></div>
<p>Abobe Town&#8217;s labyrinth of hoodoos and canyons make it reminiscent of Bryce Canyon, except  in Adobe Town, there are no trails to guide your way. Wyoming declared the area &#8220;very rare or uncommon&#8221; in 2007, a designation that afforded the land some protection, but not from future oil and gas development. Adobe Town has been one of the most hotly contested regions of the Red Desert, receiving 89,000 comments mostly in favor of its protection during the revision of the Great Divide land-use plan. But leasing continued.</p>
<p>The removal in November of the 15 nominated parcels from the BLM lease marks parts of Adobe Town as too environmentally important to warrant leasing at this time.</p>
<div id="attachment_211" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 153px"><a href="http://reddesertfiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mg_00452.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-211   " style="border:2px solid black;margin:2px;" title="_MG_0045" src="http://reddesertfiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mg_00452.jpg?w=143&#038;h=216" alt="" width="143" height="216" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pronghorn munch on sage brush just outside Adobe Town in Wyoming&#39;s Red Desert.(Photo/Morgan E.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I read a story the other day of an elder of a Scotch kirk, who at the elders’ meeting had angrily disputed with his minister, until he almost broke his heart. The night after, he had a dream which so impressed him, that his wife said to him in the morning, “Ye look very sad, Jan; what is the matter wi’ ye?” “And well I am,” said he, “for I have dreamed that I had hard words with our minister, and he went home and died, and soon after, I died too; and I dreamed that I went up to heaven, and when I got to the gate, out came the minister, and put out his hands to welcome me, saying, ‘Come along, Jan, there’s nae strife up here, I’m so glad to see ye.’” So the elder went down to the minister’s house to beg his pardon, and found in very truth that he was dead. He was so smitten by the blow, that within two weeks he followed his pastor to the skies; and I should not wonder but what his minister did meet him, and say, “Come along, Jan, there’s nae strife up here.” Brethren, why should there be strife below?</p>

<p>It is wonderful to receive so many thank you letters expressing gratitude for getting a Canada Pardon and how its given them a new lease on life.</p>
<p>It is a pleasure to help so many people obtain Canada Pardons and US Entry Waivers so that they can move forward in their life with freedom.  Often, we don&#8217;t know how good we have it until we lose what we had.  In many cases, people who have been charged with a criminal offence are punished and the emotional, economic and social punishment can weigh heavily for many many years, well after the official punishment (parole, probation) has ended.</p>
<p>Here is a letter from a person we recently helped to remove a number of very old criminal charges including possession of controlled substance, DUI, and theft:</p>
<p>&#8220;I come from a dysfunctional family having a father who was an angry person who had a drug and alchohol problem.  I lost my mom at age 15, then four years later, my father died.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I took out my frustrations by doing stupid things like stealing, smoking pot and loter on doing heavier drugs.  As I was born with a slight learning disability, the drugs did not exactly help me out.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I am now 47, and my criminal record dates back more than 20 years.  I know I was in the wrong and my circumstances of life did not justify my behaviour.  Throughout all of these years, I would always try to hide my criminal past being ashamed of what I did.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Today, with my Pardon, I feel like a new man.  I now have the opportunity to apply for a better position at work and I can travel outside of Canada.  I am in a program and I have been off of drugs for a few years now.  I have a steady job with a pension plan, I have my own apartment, I have no debts, I am off drugs and I now have a Pardon.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is the beginning of my new life. I appreciate this new chance in life.  Thank you Pardons Canada.&#8221;</p>

<p>Being prepared for every job opportunity is important.  </p>
<p>If you have a criminal record and are looking to switch employers, you may be asked to permit a record check. This could lead to disappointment.    </p>

<p>Let Express Pardons take care of all the red tape.  Visit our website and fill out the on-line form and a service representative will call you back within 24 hours.</p>
<p>From the kid with the cough and the dripping nose to the employer who requests a criminal record check, you need to be ready.</p>
