Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce
Divorce is the legal end to a marriage. You have to apply to the court to become divorced – divorce never happens automatically in Canada, no matter how long you are separated from your spouse.
There are basically two types of divorce proceedings – uncontested and contested. An uncontested divorce occurs when both you and your spouse are applying for a divorce based on one year's separation, and you agree on all of the outstanding issues resulting from your separation and divorce. A contested divorce means that you and your spouse do not agree on some or all of the outstanding issues resulting from your separation or divorce.
The Divorce Act is the law that applies to all divorces filed in Canada. No matter which province or territory your divorce is started in, it is dealt with under the Divorce Act. The Divorce Act applies to heterosexual and same sex couples who were married and are now divorcing.
When you are divorced, and in the future need to apply to the court to change your Corollary Relief Order (the order issued as part of your divorce), you will still use the Divorce Act to apply for this variation.
No. The Divorce Act, and the process of divorce, only applies to couples who were married. Common law couples and Registered Domestic Partners cannot use the Divorce Act when they break-up, though there may be other court applications they can make if necessary.
As of March 2012 in Nova Scotia, there are three ways you can begin the divorce process:
- by filing a Petition for Divorce
- by filing an Application for Divorce by Written Agreement
- by both parties filing a Joint Application for Divorce together.
The Application for Divorce by Written Agreement and the Joint Application are always uncontested divorces, while the Petition for Divorce may or may not proceed on an uncontested basis. In Halifax and Cape Breton, divorces are dealt with at the Supreme Court (Family Division), and in other areas of Nova Scotia, at the Supreme Court.
If you are applying for a divorce in Halifax or Cape Breton, you will use Rule 59 forms. If you are applying for a divorce elsewhere in Nova Scotia, you will use Rule 62 forms.
If you have a lawyer, they will help you to start your divorce and file the necessary paperwork. If you are filing for divorce on your own, you can access the forms you need on the Courts of Nova Scotia website. You should check with a lawyer or court staff, though, to make sure you are filing the proper forms needed in your case. Many Nova Scotia courts also offer a 'Do-it-yourself Divorce Kit' containing the forms needed for a divorce. You must contact the court where you will be filing your divorce to purchase a copy of the kit.

In Canada, divorce is always based on the ground of 'marital breakdown', and there are three ways to show that your marriage has broken down. These include:
- One year's separation from your spouse: living "…separate and apart for at least one year immediately preceding the determination of the divorce"
- Adultery: "the spouse against whom the divorce proceeding is brought has…committed adultery" (this means you cannot apply for divorce based on your own adultery – it has to be the other spouse who committed it)
- Cruelty: "…physical or mental cruelty of such kind as to render intolerable the continued cohabitation of the spouses." This means that the cruelty had to have been of a serious nature, and you could not continue to live with your spouse as a result.
The majority of divorces are filed based on one year's separation.
No. Divorce in Canada is always 'no fault.' Using the grounds of adultery or cruelty does not mean that you will 'get more' from the divorce, or that you will be given more money or rights as a result of your spouse's behavior. It also does not mean that you will get more parenting time or more decision-making power in relation to your children.
If you can prove that your spouse committed adultery or cruelty, this just means that your divorce may be finalized before waiting for one year's separation; however, because using these grounds can be complicated, there is no guarantee as to how long it will take to be finalized.
If you use the ground of adultery, you do not need to name the person that your spouse committed adultery with; however, if you do name that person, you will likely have to serve them with notice of the divorce, along with your spouse.
An uncontested divorce occurs when you and your spouse agree on all of the outstanding issues resulting from your separation and divorce. This means that you have both agreed on absolutely everything - parenting arrangements for your children, child and spousal support issues, and how to divide your property, assets, debts and pensions. When your divorce is uncontested, you will likely never see the inside of a courtroom – you will file paperwork, and your divorce will be processed 'behind the scenes' by court staff and a judge.
When your divorce is contested, this means that you and your spouse do not agree on some or all of the outstanding issues resulting from your separation and divorce. A contested divorce starts when one party, the 'Petitioner', files a Petition for Divorce, and the other party, the 'Respondent' files an Answer to indicate that they are contesting something that is being asked for by the Petitioner.
If you don't file an Answer, you run the risk that a judge will grant a divorce with the terms requested by the Petitioner and without further notice to you, even if you do not consent to it.
You can get a copy of an Answer form from the court where the divorce was filed, or you can use the online form. NOTE: when you use the online form, you must print it off and file the hard copy with the court where the divorce was filed. You cannot file the form electronically.
If your divorce is being dealt with in the Supreme Court (Family Division) in Halifax, Sydney, or Port Hawkesbury, click here to find the Answer form used in those courts.
If your divorce is being dealt with in any OTHER Supreme Court in Nova Scotia (NOT in Halifax, Sydney, or Port Hawkesbury) click here to find the Answer form used in those courts.
You may be able to file an Answer late (after the deadline set out in the Civil Procedure Rules), but you must have a judge's permission to do this. Each court may have its own way of dealing with these kinds of requests. In most cases, you would have to file a Motion, with supporting documents, requesting leave (permission) to file late. The matter would then be scheduled for a hearing with a judge who will decide if the Answer can be filed late. If the other party, or their lawyer, agrees to the late filing, then you may be able to make your request as a 'motion by correspondence' with no one having to appear in court for a hearing. Talk to a lawyer if this is your situation.
The rules that outline how the Supreme Court and Supreme Court (Family Division) operates - the Nova Scotia Civil Procedure Rules - changed in 2010. Before this time, when the person responding to a divorce petition wanted to show that they did not agree with something being asked for by the Petitioner, they had a choice of filing one of two different responding documents. These responding documents were an 'Answer' or an 'Answer and Counter-Petition.'
When a Respondent filed an Answer and Counter-Petition, this showed that they were not in agreement with what the Petitioner was asking for (for example, the 'corollary' issues like custody, access, support, and property division) or wanted to add their own request for relief, and were also requesting a divorce. When a Respondent filed an Answer and Counter-Petition, this made them a 'Counter-Petitioner' (a second Petitioner to the divorce). This meant that if the person filing the Counter Petition had just as much right as the original Petitioner to move the divorce forward to be finalized and that the original Petitioner could not discontinue the divorce proceeding.
Filing an Answer, without a Counter-Petition, showed what the Respondent was asking for (for example, the 'corollary' issues like custody, access, support, and property division) or added their own request for relief, but it did not make the Respondent a 'Counter-Petitioner.' If the Petitioner did not want to finalize the divorce on an uncontested basis, then the Respondent could do nothing except ask for the matter to be scheduled for a trial.
There is now only one document used to contest a divorce petition - the Answer. There is no longer a formal 'Counter-Petition.' Now, if a Respondent wants to also claim a divorce in their Answer to enable them to move the matter forward if the Petitioner does not, they can check off section 8 of the Divorce Act on their Answer form. This shows that they are seeking a divorce too, and it makes them a 'Counter-Petitioner' (though it is not formally called this anymore). It is important that people filing an Answer have the option of whether or not to also seek a divorce, as some people, often for religious reasons, cannot ask for a divorce themselves.
The fees for filing an Answer with section 8 checked off are higher than they are for filing an Answer without this section checked off. There may be other benefits to being a 'Counter-Petitioner.' Speak with a lawyer for advice about your situation.
As of March 2012, there are two kinds of 'divorce applications' in Nova Scotia – the Joint Application for Divorce, and the Application for Divorce by Written Agreement.
These applications are always uncontested divorces, meaning the two spouses have worked out all of the issues between them, including parenting and support arrangements, and division of property, pensions and debts. Applications for divorce can only be filed based on one year's separation – you cannot use the grounds of adultery or cruelty for these applications.
If you file a divorce application, you will likely never see the inside of a courtroom. You and your spouse will sign and file your divorce documents with the court, and your divorce forms will be processed by court staff, and a judge. The filing fees for the Applications are lower than for a Petition.
Petitions for Divorce are used when a divorce may be contested (when the other spouse does not agree with something in the divorce), or if the other spouse will not sign the required paperwork. The grounds of adultery or physical or mental cruelty can only be used with a Petition for Divorce, or, you still have the option of using one year's separation (which most people do). The filing fee for a Petition is higher than for an Application, and your divorce may or may not end up going to court, depending on whether the other party contests it.
As of April 2015, it costs $218.05 to file an Application for Divorce by Written Agreement or Joint Application for Divorce. As of April 2015, it costs a total of $320.30 to file a Petition for Divorce. If you file a Petition for Divorce, and then need to file an Uncontested Motion for Divorce, there will be an additional filing fee of $66.00.
People with a low income may qualify to have their fees waived. Check with court staff if you think you qualify for a waiver. You will have to fill out a waiver form, and provide proof of income with it, to show that you qualify.
Please note that fees are subject to change without notice, and generally do increase by a small amount every year. The prices listed above include tax.
If you hire a lawyer to help with your divorce, you will have to pay the fees that the lawyer charges. These fees will vary depending on the lawyer's hourly rate, and how complicated your divorce is.
Yes – as long as you have lived in Nova Scotia for at least one year. Generally, the person filing the divorce has to have lived in Nova Scotia for at least one year before filing for divorce in this province. This is so that the Nova Scotia courts have 'jurisdiction' and are allowed, under the Divorce Act, to process your divorce.
As long as you were legally married in Canada or another country, and intend to separate from your spouse permanently, and you have lived in Nova Scotia for one year, you can apply for divorce here. You do not need to be a Canadian citizen to apply for divorce in Canada.
Yes, unless you and your spouse file a Joint Application for Divorce together. Otherwise, you are responsible for arranging to have your spouse personally served with notice of the divorce proceeding. This means that a literate adult (a person over 19 who can read and write) must hand the documents to your spouse to give them notice of the divorce. You cannot serve your spouse with documents. Personal service does not mean using a courier, fax, or registered mail to serve notice on your spouse.
It is best that a Process Server be hired to serve court documents whenever possible. Process Servers are professionally trained to serve court documents, are used to dealing with parties who do not want to be served, and are familiar with Affidavits of Service (the sworn document that proves someone was served). Each Process Server sets their own fees. You can look in the Yellow Pages or online under 'Process Servers' or 'Bailiffs.' If you have a lawyer, they may know a Process Server you can use.
Probably not. An annulment is when a marriage is declared null and void, as if it never existed in the first place. This requires evidence and a complicated court application.
You will not qualify for an annulment based on the short length of your marriage. Even if you were only married for a day or two before separating from your spouse, you likely still have to use the regular divorce process to end your marriage.
Annulments are very rare, and can only be used in certain situations - usually dealing with lack of consent or fraud. For example, if one party could not legally give consent to the marriage in the first place because they were mentally incompetent or underage, or if one party was already married, and then entered into this new marriage without divorcing their first spouse. Grounds for annulment may also exist if one of the parties was forced into the marriage by threat or duress, or where the parties could not consummate their marriage (one of the parties was unable to have sexual relations with the other).
When you get back together with your spouse, this is called 'reconciliation.' If you reconcile after a divorce has been started, in most cases, you can stop the divorce process by filing a Notice with the court.
If you reconcile with your spouse for less than 90 continuous days, and then decide it is not working out and to continue with the divorce, that is ok. You can still use your original separation date.
If you reconcile with your spouse for more than 90 continuous days, and then decide it is not working out and to continue with the divorce, you must start counting your one year separation period over again.
Generally, yes. If your divorce has not yet been finalized, and you decide not to move ahead with it (for example, if you and your spouse get back together), you can withdraw your divorce application or Petition. This will mean you have to file a document with the court to formally withdraw the application.
Depending on where your divorce file is in the court process, though, it may not be this simple. For example, if the other party filed an Answer to your Petition, making themselves a Counter-Petitioner, then they have the right to continue with the divorce process.
If you have started the divorce process and are thinking of discontinuing it, you should speak with a lawyer for advice.
If your divorce was finalized, and then you get back together with your spouse, you cannot 'undo ' the divorce, though you can get re-married.
Maybe, though you still have to go through the formal divorce process and file the required documents. If your separation agreement is up-to-date, and both you and your spouse still agree to the terms in the agreement, you can ask to have the terms of your agreement incorporated into your divorce orders. This means that you do not need to re-word everything for your orders – for certain parts of your divorce documents, you can refer to what is already in your agreement.
If you and your spouse already went to court and have a court order that is still up-to-date, you can also ask to incorporate the terms of that order into your divorce.
Yes. Child support amounts are determined by the Federal Child Support Guidelines and Tables – they are law, and must be followed. There are some exceptions to the Tables, and these include undue hardship circumstances, having a split or shared custody arrangement, or when a child is over the age of majority (19 in Nova Scotia). Even in these circumstances, there still may be child support ordered, it just may not be the full table amount of support. If you are not following the child support Tables, you should speak with a lawyer for advice.
Generally, whoever is paying child support must file their financial information with the court. In cases where no child support is being paid, or the table amount is not being followed, both parties will likely have to file their financial information with the court.
'Child of the marriage' is defined in the Divorce Act. The definition is "…a child of two spouses or former spouses who, at the material time, (a) is under the age of majority and who has not withdrawn from their charge, or (b) is the age of majority or over and under their charge but unable, by reason of illness, disability or other cause, to withdraw from their charge or to obtain the necessaries of life."
In other words, a 'child of the marriage' is a child under 19 (in Nova Scotia) who still depends on their parents to provide for them, or who is over 19, but still depends on their parents because, for example, they are still in school, or have an illness or disability that prevents them from supporting themselves.
If you and your spouse had children together, but your children are grown and independent, then they are no longer 'children of the marriage' and you do not need to mention them in your divorce.
Generally, yes. The judge reviewing your divorce needs to know that those amounts are still accurate and up-to-date, as of the time when your divorce is being processed.
When you are required to provide financial information to the court, this usually means you have to file a sworn/affirmed Statement of Income, your last three years of income tax returns and notices of assessment or reassessment from the Canada Revenue Agency, and two recent pay-stubs, or other official documents showing your current year-to-date income. You should speak to court staff to learn exactly what you will be required to file in your circumstances.
You may be able to get a notice, usually called a 'Direction to Disclose,' issued by the court, that you can serve on your spouse. Usually, this Direction will be served at the same time as the Petition for Divorce, so that you only have to arrange for service once.
This Direction tells your spouse that even if they are not contesting the divorce, there are still documents that they are required to file. This direction will tell them exactly what they have to file.
Check with your court if this is something you may need. Often, you can just request this Direction to be issued by writing a letter to the Court.
Before the court can approve your divorce, they need to have proof that you were married in the first place. Your original marriage certificate proves that you were married. If you were married in Nova Scotia, you are required to file your long form marriage certificate, available from Vital Statistics. The short form, or the small blue and white certificate you received when you married, may not be accepted (particularly for contested divorces), as it is not 'legal proof of marriage.'
You can visit the Vital Statistics head office in person to get your long form marriage certificate (bring photo ID with you), or you can order it online. There will be a fee to get this certificate. You only need to provide one copy of this certificate to the court. To contact Vital Statistics, you can call (902) 424-4381 or toll-free at 1-800-898-7668, or visit their website.
If you were married outside of Nova Scotia and do not have a copy of your marriage certificate, you must contact the jurisdiction where you were married for a copy of this certificate. If your certificate is not in English, you must provide a certified translation of the certificate, along with the original copy. If you are unsure if your marriage certificate will be accepted by the court, please speak with court staff.
A Divorce Order is a formal court document that is issued by a court officer in a divorce proceeding. It states when you and your spouse were married, and on what date your divorce became effective. The divorce order also contains clauses about change of name, if applicable.
A Corollary Relief Order is another formal court document that is issued by a court officer in a divorce proceeding, and is usually issued on the same date as your Divorce Order. It contains clauses on what was decided as part of the divorce, and addresses issues around custody and access of children, child support, spousal support, and the division of property, assets, debts and pensions.
In most cases, yes. When you divorce, you 're-open' the issues that resulted from your separation. If you have a separation agreement or court order that is still accurate, you may incorporate the terms of the agreement or order into your Corollary Relief Order (CRO), and attach a copy of the order or agreement to the back of the CRO.
Even if you and your spouse did not have children, and there is no spousal support or property to deal with, the judge reviewing your file may still require you to submit a CRO, even if all that it states is that neither of you are paying spousal support, and all of your property and debts were divided when you separated.
There may be other legal or financial reasons why you would want a CRO or why you would want your separation agreement incorporated into the CRO. You should see a lawyer to get advice.
The Certificate of Divorce is the last formal court document that is issued by a court officer in a divorce proceeding. When this Certificate is issued, it means your divorce is finished, and you are now free to re-marry.
This is the document you will need in the future if you do decide to re-marry, to prove that you are officially divorced from your former spouse.
This Certificate is printed off by court staff at least 31 days after your Divorce Order and Corollary Relief Order are issued. Court staff will send this Certificate out automatically – you do not need to apply to the court for your Certificate of Divorce.
This 31 day period is an appeal period, meaning that during this time, one of the parties can file an appeal with the Supreme Court if they believe the law was not applied properly by the judge in their case. You do not file an appeal simply because you do not like the order the judge made. Appeals generally do not apply to divorces started by an Application for Divorce by Written Agreement or a Joint Application for Divorce, because the parties decided everything, not the judge.
Appeals are quite rare, and are very difficult court applications to make. If you believe you have grounds to apply for an appeal, you should speak with a lawyer.
In most cases, no. This appeal period can only be waived in very rare situations, such as when one of the parties is terminally ill and it is likely that they will pass away before the divorce would normally be finalized.
A request to waive the appeal period requires that several additional documents be filed, including undertakings and affidavits by both parties. It is up to the judge to determine if the appeal period is going to be waived, when this is requested.
A pending remarriage is not a good reason to request a waiver of the 31 day appeal period.
That depends on a number of things. The court cannot guarantee that your divorce will be processed in a certain amount of time. If you are planning on getting remarried, you are advised to wait until your Certificate of Divorce is in your hands before you plan your wedding. The court will not speed up the processing of your divorce file because you want to get remarried.
If your divorce is uncontested, and all of your paperwork is filed properly from the beginning, it can still take many months for your divorce to be finalized. There is a lot of background work that court staff must do on a divorce file before it goes to a judge for approval. The judge's schedule and the availability of court staff to process divorce files will also affect the time it takes for your file to proceed. Some courts have hundreds of divorce files, and they are dealt with in the order that they are filed. This means that if there are 100 files ahead of yours to be processed, those 100 have to be dealt with before your file will be reviewed.
If your paperwork is filed incorrectly, or if your divorce is contested and you have to go to court to resolve the issues, this will mean your divorce will take much longer to be finalized.
Contact the court where your divorce was processed to request a copy. You may have to pay a small fee for this. If you were divorced in Nova Scotia, you can find court confact information here.
All divorces in Canada are on file with the Central Registry of Divorce Proceedings. Registry staff may be able to confirm which court was dealing with your case and may be able to give you a reference number. This reference number may help the court identify your file.
Registry staff cannot provide you with copies of divorce documents, including your Certificate of Divorce. You must contact the court that has your file to request copies of any documents. Click here for court contact information.
When you get married and you take your spouse's last name, this is based on tradition. It is not a legal name change unless you applied to the government, through Vital Statistics, to legally change your name (which most people do not do). So, when you separate from your spouse, you can go back to using your birth certificate name at any time – you do not need to apply to the government to do this, and you do not need to wait for your divorce to go through. For example, if you want to get a new driver's license in your birth certificate name, just bring your birth certificate with you when you go to get your new license.
Sometimes, institutions like banks or other credit lenders, want to see evidence of a legal name change when you get divorced. This is usually to avoid fraud – so that you cannot borrow money or get credit in more than one name. You can do this legal name change as part of your divorce for no extra charge – just fill in the appropriate information regarding your name change wherever it talks about this issue in your court documents. When you are filling in your name in these sections, be sure to include all of your names. For example, if your full birth certificate name is Jane Mary Ellen Smith, make sure you put all of this in. If you only type 'Jane Smith', you will legally lose your two middle names.
No. If your spouse took your last name when you were married, they have a right to keep that name, even if you divorce.
As the respondent, you can still do a legal name change as part of the divorce process. You will need to file a separate affidavit with the information required by the court to process your name change. Check with court staff as to what to do if this is your situation.
A change of the child's name can be requested as part of the divorce, but is generally not granted unless both you and the other parent agree to this in writing. Please see a lawyer for advice if this is something you are thinking about requesting.
Matrimonial property, or 'matrimonial assets,' is property acquired by either or both married spouses before or during their marriage, and includes the matrimonial home(s) (the family home(s) where you and your spouse lived while you were married). The law that deals with matrimonial property is called the Matrimonial Property Act. There are some things that are usually not considered to be matrimonial property and these generally include:
- Gifts, inheritances or trusts, unless used for the benefit of the family during the marriage
- An award or settlement of damages, unless used for the benefit of the family during the marriage
- Insurance proceeds, unless used for the benefit of the family during the marriage
- Reasonable personal effects (personal items like clothing)
- Business assets
- Property exempted under a marriage contract or separation agreement
- Property acquired after separation
If you are unsure whether some of your property will be considered a matrimonial asset, you should speak with a lawyer for advice.
For more information, please see the Property, pensions and debts section.

This story is a personal road diary I have done together with Icelandic writer Huldar Breiðfjörð. We took highway #1 the only road surrounding Iceland and drove 1450km within 10 days. We didn't care about either the volcanic eruption that took place few weeks earlier or the economical crisis that made Iceland bankrupt. It was a trip of a local with outsider and we both tried to learn of this place on our own. And we both failed coming back with more questions than answers.

Dec. 12, 2012
Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery | Photo Gallery 1
Head Coach Rodney Terry
(Opening Statement)
"Hard fought contest tonight. Knew we had to work this game for 40 minutes. Knew we had a really good opponent coming in and were going to have to do all the little small details we were going to have to do to have an opportunity to come out with a victory tonight. We got off to a slow start in the first half and had a much better effort in the second half. Thought our defense wasn't bad in the first half, thought we let our offense affect how we carried ourselves."
(On Rebounding and Colorado's Roberson)
"I'll be honest with you, he is one of the better rebounders in the country and we knew that coming in. We spent a couple days preparing. You have to prepare for a guy like that with a motor like that. His rebounds are difference-makers in games. We knew that going in, we worked on that and spent some time on that, and we made him look like a lottery-pick tonight in terms of what he was doing out there. He is a tremendous talent in terms of going after the basketball. But, that was a big possession for them when he came up with the basketball."
(Starting lineup for second half)
"Our young guys are gaining valuable experience every time out. Tanner, the guy we want to bring along, gonna be a good player in our program, but he is playing against an older and experienced player that understands how important it is to start a half and get going. Jerry has done a great job over the last 3 or 4 games and having great energy from the start and setting the tone and did that for us again tonight. I'm very pleased with what he is doing and how he is doing it and I thought he gave us a better chance for a better start."
(On Kevin Foster)
"Kevin was good tonight. But I think that was carry over from practice. He had two of his better practices of the year. Thought he had unbelievable energy over the last two days and his preparation the last two days have been his best. Sat down and talked with him about playing his way out of the rut he has been in a little bit and it was going to start in practice and thought tonight was a direct result of how he did those things this week."
(On stretch of 3 of 4 games against PAC-12 opponents)
"We are learning a lot about our team. I think people underestimate Washington State, I think they will be right where they need to be and they have a pro in Motum and it was a great matchup for us up there. It gets down to details. We have played well enough defensively against both of these teams to win both of these games. We aren't shooting the ball particularly well right now, but we will. We will have some time in this stretch once guys finish finals to really spend more time in the gym to spend more time on our shooting and hopefully we will see a direct result of that in terms of making more shots. This is a good stretch for us and we are growing as a team."
(On shooting struggles)
"Wish I had the magic answer for that one. Guys just have to step in there and do what they work on in terms of repetitions and working on their shot. 95% of this game in mental and you have to be a confident player and you have to be a confident team and we are real close. Real close doesn't count, and we aren't playing for moral victories we are playing to win. We played a quality opponent tonight and had our opportunities."
(On Upshaw)
"That is just a growth curve with our young guys understanding those small details and the inches you need in this game and even when you get fatigued you have to understand how important it is for you to execute on where were actually doing what we practice and being where we want you. He will continue to get better with that and to be honest this was a great growing up point for him tonight. He played against some great post guys tonight. He will respond to that level of play because were at a great level of play right now where you can't take any possessions off and you can't not play hard. It's a great growth period for he and Tanner both. Our older players they understand the level of competition is going up and you have to match that level."
What happened with that foul (Aaron Anderson in the last 20 seconds)? Is that just inexperience?
"Again, we're growing with that. Heck I almost jumped out there and fouled him myself. We really wanted to foul Roberson in that situation. Our guys are just growing. This is a team that is coming off of a tough loss and they're a post-season team. Last year they won the Pac 12 tournament and they not only got in the tournament, they advanced in the tournament. They have a number of key guys and a lot of experience. That's what we're trying to build toward and that's what we're trying to get to. We're trying to get to that point where we're a confident team down the stretch so we can finish it. Everyday that's our motto, we're trying to finish and get over the hump in that regards."
(On excited to be home for a few days?)
"We are excited about that. We needed to be here in terms of the guys have a lot of academics low right now that they are working with and working through. Being here is good for us and as we're trying to finish strong in the classroom and we need to do a great job down the stretch. Having a chance to stay in a regular routine is really good for our guys right now. We have a quality opponent coming in on Saturday and Irvine has had a really good non-conference slate."
#0 Jerry Brown
(On coming back from that down stretch)
"It was a hassle for us, we kind of dug ourselves into a hole there but we did a great job fighting back in the second half. It's all about finishing the game for us and we're right there but I feel like this team has a lot of growth."
How are you going to continue to get the win in the second half in the next game?
"We just have to come out with intensity and UC Irvine is a great team and we respect every opponent but we have to come out with intensity and bounce back."

The National Hockey League announced on Friday that Detroit Red Wings forward Henrik Zetterberg was awarded the NHL Foundation Player Award for the 2013 season.
The award recognizes the player "who applies the core values of hockey - commitment, perseverance and teamwork - to enrich the lives of people in his community."
Zetterberg received the award for his work locally in Metro Detroit and for international efforts in Ethiopia, Guatemala and Nepal.
In Detroit, Zetterberg serves as the team spokesman for the Red Wings' annual Smoke Detector Collection and personally matches all donations to the fund.
In Ethiopia, Zetterberg and his wife, Emma, build the Chige Primary School in Kemba with Action Aid Ethiopia. He also funded an addition to the Belta Telo Middle School that will help it double in size. The Zetterbergs also support programs n Ethiopia and Guatemala that allow participants to work themselves out of poverty. The Zetterberg Foundation has financed and built six houses in Nepal for former debt slaves.
Zetterberg joins Darren McCarty as the only Red Wings to have been given the NHL Foundation Player Award. Detroit is just the second team to have had two winners, joining the Buffalo Sabres.
Notes: Pavel Datsyuk finished third in voting for the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the league's best defensive forward. Chicago's Jonathan Toews won the award, edging out Boston's Patrice Bergeron.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
The Old Scout
Garrison Keillor's weekly newspaper column.
The Swashbucklers of the New Media
August 11, 2009
You know it's going to be a difficult day when you wake up with "Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera, Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera" going around and around in your head and it won't stop. You know that probably you should not tackle health care reform today though brainlessness has not stopped other people from weighing in on it.
Here are mobs of flannel-mouthed robots denouncing Socialist Gummint Takeover as Medicare goes rolling along rather tidily and the private schemes resemble railroads of the early 19th century, when each line decided its own gauge and each stationmaster decided what time it is. Anyone who has tried to coax authorization for payment from Federated Amalgamated Health knows that, for incomprehensible standards and voluminous rules and implacable bureaucrats, the health insurance industry carries on where the Italian postal service left off. But don't mind me, I'm a man with a viral song in my head and I should go soak it.
The goons who go to town hall meetings and shout down the congressmen are museum pieces. They can shout until the bats fall off the rafters, but if you really want to know about health insurance, you just look around on the Internet and it's all there and more. The president gave a good solid tutorial on the subject back in June to the AMA, and you can still find it at YouTube. When you come to choose between him and the goons, you don't have to think too hard.
This is the beauty of new media: It isn't so transitory as newspapers and TV. Good stuff sticks around and people e-mail it to friends and slowly it floods the country.
What the new media age also means is that there won't be newspapers to send reporters to cover the next war, but there will be 6 million teenage girls blogging about their plans for the weekend. There will be no TV networks to put on dramas in which actors in costume strut and orate and gesticulate, but you can see home video of dogs and anybody's high school graduation anywhere in America. We will be a nation of unpaid freelance journalists and memoirists. This is not necessarily a bad thing.
It comes too late for Richard Nixon or Bill Clinton. In the new media age, there would not be a Watergate or a Monica Lewinsky. The president could conspire to break the law or canoodle with anybody within arm's reach and likely there would be nobody in the forest to hear that particular tree fall. And that would be just fine. All we got from those enormous Old Media events, frankly, was entertainment. They were no more enlightening than a Harold Robbins novel.
I'm an old media guy and I love newspapers, but they were brought down by a long period of gluttonous profits when they were run as monopolies by large, phlegmatic, semi-literate men who endowed schools of journalism that labored mightily to stamp out any style or originality and to create a cadre of reliable transcribers. That was their role, crushing writers and rolling them into cookie dough. Nobody who compares newspaper writing to the swashbuckling world of blogging can have any doubt where the future lies. Bloggers are writers who've been liberated from editors, and some of them take you back to the thrilling days of frontier journalism, before the colleges squashed the profession.
The Internet is a powerful tide that is washing away some enormous castles and releasing a lovely sense of independence and playfulness in the American people. Millions of people have discovered the joys of seeing yourself in print -- your own words! the unique essence of yourself, your stories, your jokes, your own peculiar take on the world -- out there where anybody can see it! Wowser.
Unfortunately, nobody is earning a dime from this. So much work, so little pay. It's tragic.
But one door closes and a window opens. The health care industry is wide open and there's a need for writers. Old people are lonely, old people want to be listened to and their stories written down, old people need entertainment. That's why I am opposed to the current health care reform bill -- there is nothing in there for creative therapy and the artistic fulfillment of the sick and elderly. A humorist in every hospital ward. Laughter is the best medicine. Sick people need distraction. When you wake up in the morning with "Guantanamera" going around in your head, you forget about your troubles except for that one.

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE ; 22 August 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18590822-TC-JAC-01; CL 35: 173-174
Auchtertool, 22 Augt, 1859—
My dear Brother,
As I sat here yesterday morning, all packed, in dreary but resigned mood after a baddish night and morning, silently waiting for Walter and the gig,—Erskine's man1 stept in with the Inclosed Letter; whh let off all the steam again; much to my relief, for the moment! I have this morning written kindly to Erskine, giving up the speculation altogether. Indeed it was much luckier. I am in no mood for doing visits; for dressing, discoursing, screwing up mind or body in any way. Much better to lie here totally dormant, the idlest and most solitary of all mortals, till our term here arrive. That will come soon enough, when one must get on foot again. "Jowett" has no charms for me; I saw Jowett twice over: a poor little goodhumoured owlet of a body,—"Oxford Liberal," and very conscious of being so; not knowing right hand from left otherwise.2 Ach Gott!
I got home rapidly witht the least damage on Saturday night. Sunday my laziness in the bright Earth was beyond expression; however, I forced a furious walk, and do ride, out of myself, whh did good. Yesterday I accompanied Walter to Kirkcaldy after all; Jane had appointed to go (shopping), and I, for the moment, was as one witht employt. That did not answer, however; I returned with a headache &c, considerably done up by a glass of soda-water and drop of brandy I had ventured on. Laziness, I rather believe, is the wholesome feeling for me; absolute far-niente [idleness] the real rule at present. My larynx feeling is as if quite gone; sleep not quite returned, to the old extent, but returning.
I wish you wd learn for me, at the Caledonian-Railway Office, or otherwise, what the hour &c for a Horse to Ecclefechan is: my next grand adventure must be getting anchor lifted from this place; and it will need to be well meditated beforehand, in wakeful mornings! Give my kind regards to Henry,3 and say what his movements are. Yours ever T. Carlyle

Chelan Fire and Rescue made quick work of a small grass fire yesterday afternoon that burned about 60 square feet of grass in the ChelanFalls area.
Downtown Chelan Station 71 and Chelan Falls Station 72 responded to the fire that was reported to Rivercom Dispatch shortly after 4 PM yesterday.
Lieutenant Chris Beckell with Chelan Fire & Rescue said the fire rekindled after the landowner thought he had thoroughly extinguished a burn pile.
Remember there are statewide burning regulations that must be adhered to. Burning restrictions vary greatly from area to area depending upon fuel conditions and the time of year. Before you burn it is always a good idea to notify your local fire department. In Chelan call the business line @ 682-4476 and in Manson you can call 687-3222."CLICK HERE" for Audio

|Making Class Books in Kindergarten:
Tips on celebrating writing and art
by Nellie Edge
Student-made class books are models of children's picture books . Authors and illustrators can be clearly identified on the front cover, with credits noted for adaptation and reproduction (e.g., illustrated by Mrs. Leber's Kindergarten class, and adapted from I Can Read Colors by Nellie Edge).
Children have artistic ownership of their Big Books . Class-made Big Books are a great way to celebrate children's art — even the covers can be authentic children's art — representing each child's original way of putting together ideas (i.e., every cat, person, or pumpkin will be uniquely different, rather than colored from someone else's pattern).
Look for opportunities to develop voracious vocabulary learners. Acknowledge the children as "innovators" on a text or artists who use "vibrant colors". Some may be prolific writers and detailed illustrators. They can become knowledgeable about rhymes, alliteration, similes, antonyms and homonyms. Commend them as being persistent, flexible, diligent and resourceful. Children need to know about copyright and whether they are adapting or reproducing from a particular song, poem or literature book. They love learning new words.
Use familiar songs and rhymes as patterns for children to make language "their own." Invite your students to hang their ideas, in spoken phrases on the literacy structures of Read and Sing Big Books: Down By the Bay, Down on Grandpa's Farm, Oh, A-Hunting We Will Go, I've Got a Cat, The Opposite Song, Mary Wore Her Red Dress and The More We Get Together all are "pattern songs". Build adaptations, substituting nouns for nouns, adjectives for adjectives and verbs for verbs. Dependable sentence patterns give children a frame or structure to work within while creating something new — their own new verses, illustrated and bound in a book for others to read and sing.
Signing songs and sharing a book of illustrated lyrics makes a memorable performance. Goodnight Irene (Raffi's version), This Land is Your Land by Woodie Guthrie, What a Wonderful World by George David Weiss, and See Me Beautiful by Red Gammet make wonderful Big Books. Children love doing parent performances signing songs and then proudly sharing their illustrated book. (See the Magic of Signing Songs video.) Always credit and acknowledge the author (one copy of a song or poem can be legally copied for classroom use without requesting permission).
Encourage children to write nonfiction books to culminate their science exploration. Highly motivated learners might choose to do an individual scientific investigation or probe into a topic of interest — stars, snakes, spiders. Invite the children to notice and analyze various text features of nonfiction or science books. After children have researched a topic they can summarize their new learning through labeled diagrams, descriptive sentences, and using the "text features" they have noticed in their trade books. An 11" x 17" piece of paper can be folded in half into a book providing a simple format to highlight key concepts learned.
Make a table of contents page. With some pattern books, a table of contents (perhaps a standard form that you've developed), clearly identifies who the author and/or illustrator for each page is and gives the children practice reading classmate's names. A photo of each child can be included on the table of contents page next to their name or on each child's page. (Copied sets of individual student photos like the kind used for "Math Their Way" graphing are helpful to keep on hand for this purpose.) Children can draw a small picture of themselves and glue these pictures next to their name as an illustrated table of contents.
Introduce children to a variety of book organizing techniques. Children can draw directly onto blank Big Book pages or student art can be cut out and glued onto the pages. Book pages can be color-coordinated. Mounting children's art on contrasting color paper produces an aesthetically pleasing book. Children can make borders for their big books. We have seen child-illustrated, 2-inch strips of paper that are copied and reused on each page. This detailed border is a technique used in some children's literature books. Book pages can be a collage of several children's images, or each child can illustrate a separate page.
Acknowledge individual authors. Sometimes a child who loves to draw and write may make his or her own reproduction or adaptation of a book in its entirety. It is special to acknowledge this child with an "About the Author and Illustrator" page and a student photo. Again, use the features of quality picture books as your model.
Notice layout and information features of the fine children's books: publishing company, city and state, date of publication, author, illustration information and dedication. Use the bookmaking project as a vehicle for teaching content about how books are put together.
Include information about the medium used to produce the book. (e.g., This book was done in watercolor and the animals have been outlined with black marking pen.) These books often go home to be shared with family and are displayed for viewing in a library. This information provides the answer to, "I wonder how they made this?"
Include an informative parent letter about how the book was made and invite parents to write comments. The parent information letter can be included on the inside front cover or back of the book. Parent response sheets can be a set of sticky notes stapled to the inside book cover or a few sheets of notebook paper stapled onto the back page. Children enjoy taking these books home to share. Teachers also leave them displayed during "Parent Evenings" and encourage responses. Children love to hear parent comments about their art and creative ideas.
Dedication pages honor special people. Children may dedicate their book to a principal, student teacher, or a favorite volunteer. A photo of that person included on the dedication page adds a personal touch.
Books make thoughtful literacy gifts for special class friends. Consider making a color copy of the book for your class and giving the original as a gift to the person to whom it is dedicated. Volunteers, student teachers and guests will appreciate this gift of literacy.
Scan the pages of a book onto a computer and print out several copies. Consider donating one to the school library, a homeless shelter, or a local preschool.
"The End" is satisfying for children to write and read at the conclusion of their book. "The End" page may include illustrations or borders.
Be realistic about how much time you have to include "finishing touches". The important thing is for children to see themselves as authors and illustrators from the first day of school. Children need to see their lives and ideas in print and their personal art being valued. Give them the validation of experiencing "My life is worth writing, reading and singing about." – Nellie Edge

In Outbreak Alert! a 23-page report issued today the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) called on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to publish a comprehensive and timely listing of foodborne-illness outbreaks. Such a listing could help public health officials contain current outbreaks and prevent future ones.
With headline after headline alerting consumers to food-poisoning outbreaks, the public might be surprised to learn that no government agency keeps a complete list of those outbreaks. As the nations disease monitor, CDC should be tracking outbreak trends and quickly releasing information to health officials and the public, said CSPI food-safety director Caroline Smith DeWaal.
An up-to-date, readily available inventory of outbreaks would help health officials nip outbreaks in the bud and prevent new ones. As it is, CDC estimates that foodborne pathogens cause as many as 9,000 deaths and 33 million illnesses annually, added DeWaal.
While CDC and the states investigate outbreaks, no federal agency maintains and analyzes a comprehensive list of all such outbreaks. To help fill that gap, CSPI used numerous documented sources such as CDCs Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, medical journal articles, and government publications to compile a list of 225 foodborne-illness outbreaks that occurred between 1990 and 1998. Those 225 outbreak reports represent only a fraction of outbreaks that occurred during this period.
The findings in Outbreak Alert! were released today at the annual conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Anaheim, California. Among them:
CSPI recommended that CDC serve as the national clearinghouse by maintaining a comprehensive inventory of outbreak investigations. CSPI also called on the states to report all foodborne-illness outbreaks to CDC. In addition, CSPI urged Congress to provide CDC and the states with the resources they need to reduce food-poisoning outbreaks to an absolute minimum.

The city is being overrun by all kinds of creatures, and it's up to you to stop them. In Lego Hero Factory, Invasion from below, players must use the machines from the Lego Hero Factory to save the city from these horrible creatures. As you defeat these creatures, use the experience points that you earn to upgrade your machines to do even more damage. The city needs your help, so take your powerful machines and rid the city of these dreadful creatures.
The beginning of this game is very interesting; you have to climb onto some platforms to collect parts to built a freeze machine. Once you collect these parts and your freeze machine is built, you have to kill some enemy machines. There are also upgrades around the area to collect, such as damage and jump upgrades. The game is really intense, and you have to move around a lot to kill all the enemies. The upgrades is this game are really fun to use, and as you play the game, you gain experience points that can be used to upgrade your machine. Once your damage and jump upgrades are fully upgraded, your machine will be able to take out enemies with ease. It's really interesting to collect the parts to built the stealth machine; you have to jump across fountains and scaffolding to collect these parts while destroy enemy bug machines. The enemies get harder throughout the game, and they throw more obstacles at you; after you built the stealth machine, you face a boss that throws rolling barrels at you. You have to avoid these barrels and all the enemies to kill the boss.
Game Mechanics:
The machines move smoothly in the game, and you could make most of the platforms easily. The machines shoot the blasts from the guns pretty fast, and the enemies don't really have a chance to reach you unless they are behind you. The enemy AI is done very well; sometimes the enemies jump around and you have to quickly jump to follow them. The enemy bug machine move really fast, so your machine really have to move and jump quickly to kill them. The obstacles move at a steady pace, and it's really challenging to avoid the obstacles and the kill all the enemies to kill the boss.
The controls are easy to adapt to in the game, and you're not spending a lot of time trying to figure out how to shoot or move your machine. When you press the left and right arrow, the machines move quickly and don't freeze up, and that helps when you are surrounded by a lot of enemies. The jump button works perfectly and allows your machine to easily collect the parts to built a certain machine. The jump button also works good when trying to jump over obstacles to kill enemies.
When you are playing the game, you start off in a construction site; your machine is standing on a metal base inside of a pit. There are other platforms above you hanging by chains. The dirt on the ground is really realistic, and in the background you could see building with shiny glass windows. The graphics really shine in the cut scenes; it looks like you are watching an animated movie with the machines fighting in the city. The water in the fountains has a nice clear blue color. The shattered windows are a nice touch to the added theme of the game.

Product Description
How do I add this to the pool?
You will need to add this through the skimmer directly from the container.
How do I break chlorine lock?
One of the main reasons that chlorine can become "locked" is that too much stabilizer has accumulated over the course of time. Stabilizer (cyanuric acid) can build up over a long period of time, sometimes months or even years. Once the stabilizer reaches high levels, the chlorine in the water is useless. The only way to break the lock is to reduce the level of cyanuric acid in the pool. The quickest way to do this is to add fresh water to the pool. This will help dilute the acid levels in the pool so that the chlorine will become more effective. Pools should be partially drained and refilled (every 3 years or so).
Our chlorine levels are off the charts, how do we reduce our Chlorine Levels?
We whould suggest Jack's Magic After Shock Chlorine Reducer, this should do the trick.

- Price: $149.99
- Official Site: BrevilleUSA.com
- Specs: 5 temperature settings; 1.8–liter capacity; 1,500W; 3.4 lbs; Scale filter
- Company: Breville
Any guy who is serious about his coffee, tea or even cooking, knows that precise water temperature is important. Coffee and tea particularly require water that is not heated to boiling temperatures, and in the case of steeping, you may want it even lower than that. In an effort to replace your usual boiling kettle, Breville has come to the table with the Variable Temperature Kettle, a pricey, yet handsome electric kettle that mixes good features with excellent heating controls. The retail price is around $149, but this is one of those appliances that may have you wondering how you ever lived without it once you have it in your kitchen.
Crafted entirely in stainless steel, the Breville Variable Temperature Kettle is technically a cordless device. The actual kettle plugs into a base, which is a charging and control station, and the removable pot is ideal for easy filling and pouring. Both sides of the kettle have a clear window that allows for quick checks of current water levels. What really makes the Breville Variable Temperature Kettle stand out from the pack is the adjustable temperature settings and the ease with which you can operate them. These one-touch controls range from Green Tea to French Press and the kettle can hold a constant temperature for up to 20 minutes, should you feel like wasting energy or if you're intending to have multiple cups. One major disappointment is that there is no electronic temperature display. This seems like a surprising oversight for a product that is totally based around precise water heating.
With a liquid capacity of 1.8 liters, this is one huge kettle, and it is absolutely perfect for guys who go through a lot of hot water and demand flawless coffee or tea. The weight of the Breville can be a little daunting, especially when filled to the top. Also, if you don't completely fill the Breville Variable Temperature Kettle, it is not uncommon to get a slightly inaccurate heating, which is an issue when you are only using it to make a cup or two. The brushed steel build has the dual function of being extremely durable and also attractive, making it look great on any countertop. While it is not the speediest or cheapest way to heat up water in your kitchen, for someone who wants to pay more mind to his water temperature, and enjoy better hot beverages, the Breville Variable Temperature Kettle is both a handsome and well made practical gadget.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I schedule to donate blood?
To schedule, call (970) 810-6100 or go online
Who is eligible to give blood?
Donors must be at least 18 years of age and healthy. 17-year-olds may donate with written permission from a parent or guardian. Permission forms can be picked up from our Blood Donor Center.
Are there any other physical requirements?
You must weigh at least 110 pounds and have a temperature, blood pressure and pulse within specified ranges. These will be checked during your registration process.
How often can I give blood?
Individuals may donate every 56 days (eight weeks), or roughly six times per year.
Should I bring identification?
Yes. We are required to verify the identity of our donors prior to allowing them to donate. A photo identification with your date of birth (i.e. driver's license) is required. Those without a license may bring a photo identification and other form of identification that lists the date of birth.
Should I eat before I come to donate?
Yes. It is absolutely essential that you eat something within two hours before arriving for your blood donation.
Can I still donate if I take medications?
Most medications (with a few exceptions) are not harmful to those who will be getting your blood. For questions about specific medications, please call the Donor Center at (970) 810-6100.
I take daily aspirin to thin my blood and help prevent heart attacks. Will this affect my ability to donate blood?
Aspirin does not affect your ability to give blood. It will, however, prevent you from donating platelets if you are taking it every day.
I'm just getting over a cold. Can I donate?
No, you can't, but the good news is that the deferral is only temporary. If you had a cold, but have been symptom-free for at least three days, you should be well enough to donate.
I'm on antibiotics for a skin (or other) infection. Can I donate?
No. Donors who are on antibiotics must wait until they have been off of their medications for at least three days, even if they are feeling well.
I have occasional diarrhea. Can I donate?
Diarrhea can be a sign of bacteria in blood. Therefore, you are not allowed to donate if you have had diarrhea in the last 14 days before your appointment.
I just had my ears and tongue pierced. Can I donate?
Ear piercings, provided they are done by a licensed facility, are acceptable. Other body piercings, however, including tongue piercing, are not acceptable, and make you ineligible for blood donation for 12 months from the time of the procedure.
I visit an acupuncturist for pain relief. Can I donate?
Most area acupuncturists have documents on file with the Donor Center certifying that they use only disposable, single-use needles. If you are seeing one of those that have been certified, you are eligible for donation. If not, then the deferral will be twelve months from the last acupuncture session.

I have beat the game, I got the Hero's crest thing, and entered the portal, beat the final boss and saved over the same save file.
Then found out that the Hero's crest opens a gate in the noise dunes. But I can't go back since I saved after beating the final boss.
So I though about getting to noise dunes by playing the second playthrough. But I heard you can only open the Hero's Gate during the first playthrough. Does that mean I have to start a new game? Then why do I begin the second playthrough with the Hero Crest item?
By the way, what does a second/third/fourth playthrough offer anyway?

The Aug. 15 report from the World Health Organization (WHO) details the increasing number of Ebola cases in West Africa. Through Aug. 13, there have been 2,127 confirmed, probable or suspected cases diagnosed in four countries. The death toll has risen to 1,145.
This Ebola outbreak originated in Guinea but the pace of the illness seems to have slowed greatly there. With just nine new cases, the country has reported a total of 519 illnesses and 380 deaths since the viral illness emerged.
Sierra Leone has reported the greatest number of Ebola illnesses, despite having been the third country to see the disease emerge. The WHO data shows 810 cases and 348 Ebola-related deaths.
Liberia continues to report large numbers of new Ebola cases, with 116 in this report alone. In total, the WHO has been told about 786 illnesses and 413 deaths in that nation. Liberia is reporting, as it can, the data on the outbreak in its country. As of Aug. 12, 86 health care workers have contracted Ebola and 36 have died from their illnesses.
Nigeria has only seen 12 cases. Patrick Sawyer, the "Ebola killer", was the first to fall ill and all of the remaining 11 cases had contact with him. Sawyer died from his illness. Two nurses who cared for him have also died as has a staffer who accompanied him from Liberia to Lagos.
The Guardian, on Aug. 13, reported in detail the last hours of Patrick Sawyer. They report that he got on the plane in Monrovia showing obvious signs of illness. He apparently vomited or had diarrhea several times during the long flight and was unable to stand when he arrived in Lagos.
As a diplomat, Sawyer, 40, was whisked from the airport by a private driver. The company car – in which he was again sick, according to a Nigerian health official – was taken to a diplomatic compound, and was not used again because it was a national holiday. But public health workers were on strike, so Sawyer was taken to a small family clinic. There, the team who tried to save his life did not initially suspect Ebola, or work with protective gear. At least one other patient at the clinic would later catch Ebola.
Three deaths are directly linked to exposure to Patrick Sawyer. Sawyer had visited his sister, age 28, in early July. His sister died the day after his visit. Tests then revealed that she died of Ebola. In recent public statements, the presidents of both Liberia and Nigeria have condemned him for his actions after that visit.

Young Fellows Announce Next Themed Ball at The Frick Collection, "Fête des Quatre Saisons," A Celebration of the Four Seasons
Resize Text
The Young Fellows of The Frick Collection will host a Fête des Quatre Saisons on Friday, February 22, 2002, from 8:30 pm to midnight. This fund-raising event builds on the success of the previous two sold-out galas, The Edwardian Ball and The Tartan Ball, held in the winters of 2000 and 2001 respectively, each drawing over 600 young members and their guests. The 2002 ball is inspired by the Collection's fanciful depictions – painted by François Boucher (1703-1770) for Madame du Pompadour – of The Four Seasons.
