Who traveled the Oregon trail?
Few historical authors have captured the western migration and the history of the West as well as did James Michner in his epic novel Centennial. It portrays the hopes, dreams and aspirations of this brave force of migrants as well as failed hopes, trials and tribulations and dreams of the future.

Many who traversed the Oregon Trail spilled their blood as a right of passage (often by the accidental discharge of their own firearms) and rarely at the hands of Native Americans in defense of their homeland. Passage was readily granted but stopping squatting or leaving the accepted route of the Oregon Trail was fobidden by the Native American residents.

- Dreamers
- Exiles
- Grifters, Drifters and Con Artists
- Vagrants, bums the unemployed and the newcomers.
- Wealthy investors, entrepruners and visionaries but most of all they were

Can you receive alimony when you are married?
No. It is customarily written into the divorce decrees that if the spouse who is receiving alimony (aka spousal support) re-marries, the support payments will cease.
Now, this does not happen automatically ... the spouse who is paying support must file in court to get this stopped - once the filing has been made, disbursing payments to the other will cease, but garnishments to wages will continue until the court hearing. Once the judgment has been issued in your favor, you will get back the monies back to the date you filed your paperwork to ammend the payments of spousal support.

How long does a shoplifting conviction stay on you record if you were a minor in Oregon?
Until your 18th birthday, whereupon your record will become sealed to the public.
This is rubbish - the answer is - convictions stay with you for life! Dont confuse SPENT convictions with all convictions - If a job is exempt from the Rehabilitation ACT - It can go back to your first offence - no matter how old - the only exception is through Royal Pardon - BUT! the police normally do not delete anything and that is the INJUSTICE. If a job is applied for - say in schools or nurseries - then they apply for an ENHANCED CRB and it is always granted - You are therefore stuck with your record till you die. The Rehabilitation Act means you will always be a criminal - Once a conviction becomes spent then you can leave it of the application unless it is Rehabilitation exempt.
