Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
The girl is 15-16 years old.
Boyfriend is 18 years old.
Consent was given by the girlfriend.
The couple is keeping the baby.
It is against the law for an adult (age 18 or over) to have sex with a minor, even if the minor consents. An adult who has sex with a minor can be charged with statutory rape. In order for that to happen, the DA would have to file charges against the adult. In short, yes, an eighteen year old boy can go to jail for getting his fifteen year old girlfriend pregnant.Ask a similar question
The crime of unlawful sexual intercourse (Penal Code section 261.5) makes it illegal for any person to have sex with a person under 18. If the age difference between them is under three years, it's a misdemeanor. If it's greater than 3 years, it can be a felony. Even if both of them were under 18 at the time, the boy can still be charged.
If they've been having a sexual relationship for a while, any acts done when the girl was under 14 could also be charged under 288(a) - lewd acts on a child (commonly known as child molest).
Can he be charged? Absolutely. Will he do jail time? That depends on all the facts and what his attorney can do to protect him.Ask a similar question
It's possible, if someone reports this illegal sexual activity. No one under 18 is legally capable of giving consent to underage sex, so it doesn't matter if she supposedly consented.
The boyfriend should see a good criminal defense attorney if any law enforcement official starts asking questions.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - September 20, 1983, New Braunfels, Texas 2 Naw Rreunfal* Her ald-Ze» fang T uetday, September 20, I 983 PEC pays record bill; Texland outlined By SANDRA JACKSON v ■ rn ■■la rn rn 5HTT wrnir A standing room-only crowd packed into the small meeting room at the Pedemales Electric Cooperative's Settler office Monday, and listened politely as the board of directors went through their The board authorised payment of the largest power bill ever received from the Lower Colorado River Authority, in the amount of $4,922,664.70 for August The bill represented the highest number of kilowatt hours ever paid by the cooperative — 161,001,116 for the month. However, the bill was paid under protest, as it has besa for several years. W. W. "Bud" Burnett, chairman of the board, explained, "We have been paying under protest since they (LORA) abandoned their 1974 contract." He said the reason was to protect their case against LORA. Reporting on progress of the Tolland Electric Co., Burnett said, "We feel pretty good about Texland right now." He explained that PEC, along with its sister cooperative, the Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative, Inc., had established Texland in 1960 in an attempt to begin producing their own power. To date, efforts to get the plant licensed have failed. "An appeal to the district court is to be heard in Travis County on Od. 20, and we feel we'll secure a remand of the Public Utility Commission's decision," said A. W. Moursund, the coperstive's general counsel, who added, 'We're also working on a municipal angle." On Sept. 6, the city council of Johnson Qty voted to proceed with efforts to help Texland circumvent the utilites commission. Under the PUC Regulatory Act, cities do not have to go through the commission to build power plants. "We've helen in a knock-down, drag-out with LORA and they're very powerful, but we feel that justice will prevail," Burnett told the crowd. In other business. General Manager Bennie Fuelberg reported to the board that he had purchased a $54,000 boom-and-bucket truck which will allow two mm to install six transformers per day — a job that used to take six men a much longer time. He said the vehicle was versatile. "It's one of the best pieces of equipment we've seen lately," he told the board, urging them to authorize him to purchase on for each of his service areas, including Canyon Lake, Kyle, Lake Travis, Bertram and Johnson Qty. "Equipment is cheaper than people these days," the general manager told the board members, who voted to authorize the purchase. A cable television pole contact contract was approved with Vermillion Development Co., Inc., Main Cable, Inc., and VIA Cable, Inc. Burnett said, "The WeatherPEC roundup REA (Rural Electrification Administration) recently asked for a board resolution on standard form contracts. In the past, they have been signed by the president and the secretary." The PEC is charging the same amount for each contact contract —$3 per pole contact. After delaying participation in the LCRA's cooling efficiency program last month, the general manager recommended to the board of directors that PEC get into the program. "But the publicity is going to be misleading," Fuelberg said, explaining that there are not many high efficiency air conditioning units on the market and they are very expensive. Under the program, consumers will get a $80 rebate per ton of cooling capacity if the air conditioning system they install has an energy efficiency rating of nine or higher. In addition, the wholesale customer (PEC) will get $24, and the installing dealer will get $10. "I recommend we join, but we give the $24 back to the customer if he installs a heat pump system," Fuelberg said. Since the PEC is a winter-peaking system, members of the cooperative need to be encouraged to stress heating efficiency more than cooling efficiency, he said. The board accepted the general manager's recommendation Fuelberg was also given the go-ahead to pursue taking bids for telephone-activated, computer-read meters, which will be placed in 270 locations throughout the PEC service area. The general manager said that the program is required by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and that approximately $600,000 had been allocated for this in the cooperative's recent rate increase. The meters will be installed at all of PEC's large power users, where meters are now being read by a PEC employee, and the others will be placed at random locations for spot-checks. The information gathered by the electronic meters will give the power company useful data for conducting load research. Fuelberg announced the resignation of his assistant manager, Bill Clark, and asked for approval to hire a manpower efficiency consultant. The board authorized $6,500 for this purpose, and also voted to seek bids to pave a new parking lot at the Johnson Qty headquarters. The October meeting of the board of directors will be held in Johnson Qty, and then meetings will alternate between various locations in the service area, and the PEC headquarters.

Moursund and Roland Erben Career plans TLC program outlined for Chamber board By PATRICIA YZNAGA-KING Wire editor Don Wilcox, director of cooperative education at Texas Lutheran College in Seguin, told Chamber of Commerce members about the program Monday. The program offers TLC students an opportunity to get practical trailing in their career areas. Wilcox said that that the program, which TLC began in the fall of 1962, has grown steadily in the last year. The program consists of five basic guidelines: — An agreement between the student, college and the employer; — The work has to fit around the students' school schedule; — The work must be related to the students' degree plans and career goals; —The student must be supervised, — The student must earn at least minimum wage. Wilcox said the program currently has 20 students who have jobs and 20 other students who are in the process of getting jobs through the program. "When they (students) graduate, they're much more marketable as employees," Wilcox said. Wilcox said that two students are employed at the Comal County Courthouse through the program.

The 12-minute film will include San Antonio, New Braunfels, Kerrville and Fredericksburg. New Braunfels will use about two minuntes of film and Natural Bridge Caverns will be on film for about one minute. Divine also reported that the Fall Escape program seemed to be a success. The program aims to bring business to the motels and hotels in the city during the slow season by offering weekend packages. Local merchants participate by offering discount coupons to the visitors. Divine said that as of this week, 1,484 coupons has been returned. That figure compares with 1,229 for the same time last year. Also, the annual Guadalupe River cleanup will be Oct. 2. The Chamber will provide and cook food for the 250 persons expected at the clean-up. The workers will gather on the property of Bob and Jean Pfeuffer along River Road.

Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President Tom Purdum told the chamber that representatives of the South Texas Chamber of Commerce were well-received on a recent industrial tour in California. "We found a receptive audience in Los Angeles and San Francisco," Purdum said. Purdum said the group met with several directors of companies who were interested in relocating or expanding their operations. Many of the companies showed an interest in Texas, he said. Natural Resources Committee Chairman Delbert George told chamber members that his committee will support the current Edwards Underground Water District property tax rate. The rate is set at 1.7-cent per $100 valuation. George said the committee will encourage the water district to continue the tax rate despite increased assessed values in Bexar County. The district has set a hearing Thursday afternoon at the Texas Institute of Culture in San Antonio. "Surface water is something that has to be developed," George said. The tax rate has already been applied in Comal County. mph across the Panhandle. The front was expected to drop temperatures to unseasonable lows aa it moved southward.

Healthy Foods to ReconsiderWe're all guilty of picking up a dangerfood every once in a while. They seem innocent enough on the outside, masquerading behind their whole wheat-touting labels or a crunchy bed of lettuce. But a closer look at the nutrition label reveals some dirty little secrets— shrouds of sugar, calorie-packed dressing, and more. Greatist.com put together a list of 19 "Healthy" Foods to Reconsider…and these are some of my favorites!1. Trail Mix
Yes, it's packed with protein and omega-3s, and makes for a portable, satisfying snack. But what lurks behind these nutty, prepackaged snacks are loads of excess sugar, oils, and preservatives. Even though the nuts in trail mix are filled with heart-healthy fats, that also means they're high in calories. Add on the extra-salty varieties and sugar-packed dried fruits, and there's a bit of a dilemma. Avoid prepackaged mixes with lots of fruit and opt for homemade batches with unsalted nuts and all-natural fruits.2. Hummus
This one's another calorie trap, with each container packing up to 700 calories! While this garbanzo bean-based dip does offer a good dose of protein, heart-healthy fats, and fiber, working it into a healthy diet is all about portion control. Stick to one serving (2 tablespoons) to keep the calorie count under 80 calories. Also, stick to lower-calorie and carb dippers like fresh or lightly steamed veggies like carrots, celery, snap peas, or broccoli instead of pita chips or pretzels.3. Granola
Yes, this crunchy, nutty breakfast treat may look like a healthy way to start the day. Unfortunately, commercial varieties roasted with sweeteners and dried fruit may be higher in sugar and calories than their fiber-filled oats are worth. When strolling down the granola aisle, avoid any varieties with sugary ingredients— fructose, corn syrup, cornstarch, chocolate— high on the nutrition label, and beware of terms like "glazed" or "frosted."4. Sushi
It's a healthier dinner than fried chicken, we'll give you that. But despite the fresh veggies and omega-3-filled fish, sushi can be a silent killer when it comes to calorie counts, often packed with too much rice (sometimes a full cup per roll!), fried fillings, and heavy sauces. Instead, opt for sashimi (slices of fish without the rice), or a brown rice roll with only fresh fish (hold the sauce). Another word to the wise: Stay away from special Americanized rolls (like the popular Philadelphia roll) that are often filled with extra calories from cream cheese or (yes) even bacon.5. Frozen Yogurt
It might be a healthier alternative to ice cream, but frozen yogurt doesn't always make it all the way to the healthy side of the healthy-food battle. While brands with live, active yogurt cultures (a.k.a. probiotics) may offer some health benefits, they're also often packed with sugar and preservatives.6. Dried Fruit
While dried fruit does have some redeeming qualities, varieties with added chemicals and sugar make it easy to question these healthy claims. To pick a healthier version, look for "no sugar added" or brands that use alternative sweeteners like all-natural fruit juice. Also beware of serving sizes: Dried fruit is considered an energy dense food— high in calories, and relatively low in nutritional value.7. Peanut Butter
Just one two-tablespoon serving of this favorite nutty spread packs around 190 calories. By themselves, peanuts are pretty innocent. Once they're processed and turned into butter? Then we're entering dangerous territory. The nuts are roasted, shelled, and ground, at which point they're typically mixed with other ingredients like salt, hydrogenated vegetable oil, dextrose, corn syrup, and honey. These added ingredients help to extend shelf life and make life a little sweeter, but they can also mean the addition of trans fats— even if the label says "zero trans fat"— which can raise "bad" (LDL) cholesterol.8. Granola Bars
Although convenient, these oat, grain, and nut-packed bars are not always as healthy as they may seem. Popular brands like Quaker Oats and Nature Valley can contain as many as 25 ingredients, 12 grams of sugar, and sugar-filled ingredients like chocolate and peanut butter. In fact, these bars can actually be almost as bad as eating a real candy bar in terms of sugar and calories! Plus, many brands contain high fructose corn syrup (linked to weight gain and insulin resistance) [9]; hydrogenated oils (which can raise cholesterol levels) [10]; and monosodium glutamate or MSG (linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes) [11].9. Caesar Salad
Just because it's on a bed of lettuce doesn't mean it's healthy. Caesar salad may seem like a healthy menu option, but its calories-laden dressing, blanket of cheese, and refined grains make it a not-so-smart choice. In moderation, they're all fine. But take a closer look, and we have a different story. The classic Caesar dressing is made from egg yolks, which are high in calories and cholesterol, and may also carry Salmonella. Parmesan cheese may be a good source of calcium and protein in moderation, but when it's piled sky high, those benefits are outweighed. And the croutons? Just added carbs and calories.10. Yogurt
Ok, ok, so yogurt is mostly healthy. Got a hankering for some low fat plain Greek yogurt with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey? Go for it! It's when we head toward the coffee-flavored yogurt with chocolate cookie crumbs for breakfast that the trouble starts. Flavors with lots of added sugar (basically any flavored concoction) can rack up the calorie and carb count far beyond that of natural yogurt. If ingredients like corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, fruit juice concentrate, glucose, high-fructose corn syrup, maltose, or any other "syrup" or "sugar" appear on the label, it's probably best to stay away.11. Canned Produce
Let's say it together, folks: Fresh is always better! Often saturated with excess sodium or sugar, canned produce is rarely a smarter choice.12. Fruit Juice
Just because it came from fruit doesn't mean it has the same benefits. One cup— take apple, for example— can pack more than 100 calories. But some nutritionists believe the real problem starts when people think about juice (or any liquid) as calorie-free— which is clearly not true. But our biggest problem with juice is all about the sugar. Yeah, fruit naturally has a good deal of it, but squeezing it (literally) into juice form just makes that sugar even easier to choke down. Plus, juicing even removes the super-healthyfiber that real fruit provides. Goodbye, redeeming qualities!13. Veggie Burgers
When not so keen on meat (or just looking for a break), veggie burgers might be a good alternative. But the excess sodium, processed ingredients, and even the possibility of toxins (!) easily push veggie burgers into the danger zone. Patties made out of straight veggies might be okay, but those based on processed soy (which some studies suggest lacks the benefits of natural soy) aren't as smart of a choice. And with the sodium levels in some brands (over 400 mg per patty!), they may even be a gateway to serious health issues like high blood pressure and kidney disease.14. Breakfast Cereal
Say it with me, people: Excess sugar is bad! Sensing a theme, here? In addition to having no nutritional benefits of its own, added sugar can increase the risk of tooth decay, weight gain, and heart disease. Plus, sticking to one serving is nearly impossible. (One serving of Frosted Mini Wheats, for example, contains only five pieces for 175 calories!) Opt for a whole grain, fiber-filled, low-sugar variety, though, and the benefits may start to outweigh the downsides.Even more at the Greatist!

I just got back from a book tour where I visited a bunch of cities this month. I had to wonder if the air I was breathing was a clean and healthy as my home city of Seattle (can't beat all that cold, rainy air!). Well, the list is in: the city's with the healthiest air...
Did you know that you take about 21,600 breaths a day? And yet, according to stats, two-thirds of Americans don't think about the quality of the air they breathe, even though it's linked to health in significant ways. A recent study sponsored by Honeywell's AirGenius Air Cleaner, pooled data from the 100 largest metropolitan areas of the U.S., taking into account pollen counts, particulate matter and ozone concentrations, public smoking laws, and 'green' city rankings, and here are the cities on the top 10 list:
Now, deep breath!
Is your city on the list? Or, do you feel that your city has air that is making you unhealthy?

Adam Lambert pre-"Idol" album due this summer
By Monica Herrera and David J. Prince
NEW YORK (Billboard) - Good news for Adam Lambert fans. But possibly not as good for the "American Idol" runner-up and his label bosses.
A small indie label will release Lambert's debut album this summer, months before Lambert's "official" debut on 19 Recordings/RCA Records is expected to reach stores.
Depending on who you believe, Lambert is either "blown away" by the material on the unofficial release, or is distancing himself from the project.
Entitled "On With The Show," the album was co-written and recorded by Lambert before his turn on the talent show. It will be released by Hi Fi Recordings/Wilshire Records.
The first single, "Want," is streaming now on the Hi Fi Web site, and according to the company's CEO John Hecker, the rest of the tracks will sound similar.
"The music's amazing," said Hecker. "There are some uptempo (songs), there's some that rock a little more, and there are some songs on the same tip as 'Want.' It's a real album that's coming out, not just a conglomerate of a bunch of songs. This is all original material -- as a matter of fact, Adam wrote a lot of it."
According to Hi Fi, Lambert even visited the Wilshire Records studio in Los Angeles as recently as last month to hear it. "He was in the Wilshire Records studio right before the finale actually, and he was blown away by the material," Hecker said.
Hi Fi did not notify 19/RCA about its intent to release Lambert's debut album before announcing the news on Friday. "I bet they know now," Hecker said. Continued...

IT Monitoring for Networks, Applications, Virtual Servers and the Cloud
You will need to open port tcp/3306 from the Opsview Monitor server to the MySQL server host. See your operating system/firewall documentation for information on how to do this if your host is running a local firewall.
On the MySQL server to be monitored:
To configure and utilize this Opspack, you simply need to add the 'Database - MySQL' Server Opspack to the host running the MySQL Server software, and specify your login to the server with first arguement as username and second as password, using the MYSQLCREDENTIALS variable.
Step 1: Add the host template
Step 2: Add and configure the 'MYSQLCREDENTIALS' variable
Step 3: Reload and view the MySQL Server statistics
If you see the below output:
$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mysql_performance -H localhost -u opsview -p PASSWORD --metricname=Connections -w 20 -c 30 MONITORED BY: master RETURN CODE: 255 ERROR: DBI connect('host=localhost','opsview',...) failed: Access denied for user 'opsview'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mysql_performance line 463.
This means that the username we are using is not set up in the database we are trying to monitor (see the "Setup" section above).

Chapter 4:
Aqueous Solutions
Water is the dissolving medium, or solvent.
Some Properties of Water
Water is "bent" or V-shaped.
The O-H bonds are covalent.
Water is a polar molecule.
Hydration occurs when salts dissolve in water.
Figure 4.3: (a) The ethanol molecule contains a polar O—H bond similar to those in the water molecule. (b) The polar water molecule interacts strongly with the polar O—H bond in ethanol. This is a case of "like dissolving like."
A Solute
dissolves in water (or other "solvent");
changes phase(if different from the solvent);
is present in lesser amount (if the same phase as the solvent).
A Solvent
retains its phase(if different from the solute);
is present in greater amount (if the same phase as the solute).
Strong Electrolytes - conduct current efficiently
NaCl, HNO3
WeakElectrolytes - conduct only a small current
vinegar, tap water
Nonelectrolytes - no current flows
pure water, sugar solution
※ Svante Arrhenius postulated: the extend to which a solution can conduct an electric current depends on the number of ions present.
Strong electrolytes:
Substances that are completely ionized when they are dissolved in water .
soluble salts,
(2) strong acids,
(3) strong bases.
Arrhenius discoveries the nature of acids
※ Arrhenius proposed that an acid is a substance that produces H+.
HCl H+(aq) + OH-(aq)
HNO3H+(aq) + NO3-(aq)
H2SO4H+(aq) + HSO4-(aq)
Strong bases - react completely with water to give OH- ions.
Figure 4.8: Acetic acid (HC2H3O2) exists in water mostly as undissociated molecules. Only a small percentage of the molecules are ionized.
Weak electrolytes:
Weak bases - react only slightly with water to give OH- ions.
Molarity (M) = moles of solute per volume of solution in liters:
Common Terms of Solution Concentration
Standard solution- concentration is exactly known.
Stock solutions- routinely used solutions prepared in concentrated form.
Concentrated solution-relatively large ratio of solute to solvent. (5.0 M NaCl)
Diluted solution - relatively small ratio of solute to solvent. (0.01 M NaCl)

Chemical Reaction (Afrodesia AFRCD 01)
Chemical Reaction perhaps represents the Sound Of Young Britain in the late '90s, collecting together as it does a half-dozen of The Chemical Brothers' remixes along with a handful of contributions from a few of their colleagues in the Big Beat scene. In its cutting-edge confluence of rock and dance elements, it's indicative of a strain of British pop culture which refuses to acknowledge the supposed barriers between genres - but rather than being made by rock bands adding a soupcon of disco or hip-hop to their sound it's more like rock music made by DJs.
This sounds the case even when the original tracks were made by bona fide bands: the source material for the Chemicals' remix of Primal Scream's "Jailbird", for instance, is all but completely obscured under a welter of additional sounds and effects, the basic groove stripped-down and strapped to a crunching beat, with Bobby Gillespie's voice making only the most perfunctory of appearances.
At their best, there's a persuasive blend of power and invention in the duo's remixes of Sabres Of Paradise's Tow Truck, Leftfield & Lydon's Open Up and St Etienne's "Like A Motorway" - the latter, in particular, develops a relaxed surge of forward motion perfectly in keeping with its subject.
Neil Young & Friends
The Bridge School Concerts, Vol. One (Reprise 9362-46824-2)
The Bridge School is the children's charity founded and funded by Neil Young and his wife Pegi, whose own children suffer from the severe disabilities which the school hopes to alleviate through assistive technology and specialist care. To help fund The Bridge, the couple have also organised a series of annual concerts with some of the biggest names in rock, contributions from 15 of whom comprise this benefit album.
A splendid cause, then; but unfortunately, the concerts' all-acoustic nature rather denudes the album's impact. There's an intrinsic piety to acoustic music - something to do with its sonic purity and supposed direct access to the soul - which can grate under accumulation, and I'm afraid that's what happens here. Guitars thrum busily and voices chide earnestly, but there's little sense of pleasure about these dutiful performances.
Apart from Beck, Pearl Jam and Ministry, the performers are all drawn from the post-hippy soft-rock continuum that links Don Henley and Tom Petty to Patti Smith and Elvis Costello.
Despite a line-up that includes Simon & Garfunkel, Bowie and The Pretenders, it's not, frankly, an album you'll want to play too often.
Alabama 3
Exile On Coldharbour Lane Elemental/Geffen ELM-40 CD)
They're from Brixton, not Alabama, and there's considerably more than three of them. Alabama 3's deceptions don't end there: their last single was packaged as a facsimile of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's Deja Vu, and their music lays claim to transatlantic influences not usually visited upon south London folk. Exile On Coldharbour Lane is a thick, steaming stew of Southern swamp-funk, country and western, Baptist revivalism, British techno and Maoist socialism, served up with rare fervour and more than a little medicine-show hokum.
There's a moralistic tone to an album equally dedicated to R&B and ethical living: most Alabama 3 songs deliver sermons decrying drugs, guns, booze and bourgeois materialism, but there's a churning undertow of pleasure to songs like "Converted", "Woke Up This Morning" and "Bourgeoisie Blues" which counterbalances the slightly starchy attitude.
There's a hackneyed religious schtick which grates after half a dozen songs, but enough is going on in the music to sustain interest till the end.
Celine Dion
Let's Talk About Love (Epic 489159 2)
All bets are now off regarding the coveted Christmas number one album: having shifted 2.5 million copies of her last album in the UK alone, Celine Dion's taking no chances with this follow-up, playing the celebrity guest card with shameless enthusiasm. Let's Talk About Love includes well-judged collaborations with both Carole King and The Bee Gees, a quite ghastly duet with Pavarotti on I Hate You Then I Love You, and most significantly, an equally dire duet with Barbra Streisand - the old queen effectively anointing her successor, perhaps having correctly assessed one-time pretender Mariah Carey as a bit of a one-trick pony.
That, clearly, is the territory to which Dion is laying claim here. For despite the occasional sassy swingbeat groove, the general feel on Let's Talk About Love is of a Broadway diva dedicated to knocking 'em dead in the aisles, rather than on the dancefloor. Would that Dion herself demonstrated a little restraint. She undoubtedly possesses a remarkable voice, but like most of her peers, wields it in profligate manner, offering a tremulous caricature of emotion that's about as convincing as the heavily airbrushed cover photo.

Many children are into dance, and quite a few aspiring ballerinas would love having ballerina-themed birthday parties. Here are a few ideas and tips for invitations if you are considering such a party for your child.
Ballerina invitations are a great way to set the tone for a birthday party. You could opt for introductory wording such as, "Our aspiring ballerina Jane is turning five!" or "Join us for a ballerina birthday party." Allow your child to help select the cards; pink features heavily on many invitations, but there are plenty of other color choices for kids who prefer alternative colors. You can also opt to upload a photo of your child for the front of the invitation. This choice is ideal for boys who are into ballet, as many predesigned cards feature only girls.
The term "ballerina party" may mean different things to different people. Some families may think it means their children should show up in a tutu, for instance. Take the guesswork out of the equation by adding a simple phrase such as, "Dressing up in tutus is encouraged," or "No need to dress up!" You may also want to clarify the gifts issue with something such as, "Gifts are not required, but if you want to give them, they don't need to be ballet-related."
Aim to mail the invitations about a month before the party, and if you want, it can be great fun to further customize your invitations with personalized postage and/or address labels. You can also continue the ballerina theme with the thank-you cards mailed a few weeks after the party. Above all, do not forget to include the party time, date and location. With all of the fun that goes into customizing ballerina invitations, it can be easy for key details to fall by the wayside!
"We used a black and white photo for our granddaughter's 1st birthday announcements and they looked amazing! The colors are so soft and feminine."
"The paper is great quality and the image and writing was printed well (nice colors, good definition). Perfect first birthday invitation."
"My 3 year old and all loved the invitation, we also included a wallet size picture of her from her dance recital, so that tied it together for such a cute invitation for her birthday. I would recommend this product and site to everyone.... This is not my first order and have not been disappointed. I even got a personal call to make sure I had some punctuation correct as well. YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!! and so was the invitation."
"My daughter's 4th birthday is coming up and we went through all of the selections at TinyPrints. We both loved this invite and when it came in the mail, it was perfect!! I have been getting a lot of complements on it!!"
"We used the Pink Ballerina card to make invitations for a three year old "Princess" birthday party and our little girl, her friends and all of the mom's commented on how adorable and charming the invitation was. The birthday party was wonderful and this invitation that I have placed in her memory book will always remind us of how sweet all of the three year old girls looked when they dressed up at the party (and quite frankly looked a lot like this little girl featured in the card). The service, color, printing, and card quality were outstanding and I enthusiastically recommend this product and Tiny Prints!"

It's as comforting as your doona. Whenever I make a stew, I feel right at home. This is Mum's version dolled up with some fresh herbs and a splash of red wine. Serves six.
For the stew
Splash of olive oil
2 brown onions, roughly chopped
5 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
4–5 celery stalks, roughly chopped
2 large carrots, roughly chopped
2 potatoes, roughly chopped
1 small sweet potato, roughly chopped (optional)
1.5 kg (3 lb 5 oz) braising lamb, diced
150 g (5½ oz/1 cup) plain (all-purpose) flour
250 ml (9 fl oz/1 cup) red wine
500 ml (17 fl oz/2 cups) water
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 tomatoes, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons rosemary leaves, chopped
For the gremolata
1 cup flat-leaf (Italian) parsley leaves, finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, finely grated
Zest of 1 lemon, finely grated
½ teaspoon sea salt
To make the stew
Preheat the oven to 170°C (325°F/Gas 3). Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for a few minutes, or until the onion has softened. Add the celery, carrot, potato and sweet potato (if using), and cook, stirring occasionally, for about five minutes. Transfer to a heavy-based flameproof casserole dish.
Heat another splash of olive oil in the frying pan. Put half the lamb and half the flour in a plastic bag and shake to coat well. Shake off the excess flour, then add the lamb to the pan and cook until lightly browned all over.
Deglaze the pan with a little of the wine, then transfer the lamb to the casserole dish. Add a little more oil to the pan and repeat with the remaining meat, flour and wine.
Add the water, tomato paste, tomato and rosemary to the casserole dish, season with salt and pepper and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Bake for two hours, or until the lamb is tender. Alternatively, cook the stew on the stovetop over a very low heat – or my mum used to cook hers in a pressure cooker.
To make the gremolata
Wrap the parsley in muslin (cheesecloth) or a clean tea towel and squeeze out and discard the juice. Toss the parsley, garlic, lemon zest and salt together in a small bowl, then scatter over the lamb stew.

Olympus will be prosecuted by the UK Serious Fraud Office over charges that it provided 'misleading, false or deceptive' material in accounts submitted by its medical supplies subsidiary Gyrus Group Limited. Earlier this year three former senior executives of the company were handed suspended jail sentences for their part in a massive accounting scandal which hid huge investment losses dating back to the 1990s, and was uncovered by former CEO Michael Woodford.
A statement issued by Olympus states that the potential impact on the Group's business is unclear, as it's difficult to estimate the level of any fines which may be imposed if the prosecution is successful.

Fraud is a crime, and the perpetrators need to be punished.
The Japanese legal system simply gave them a rap over the knuckles. Justice for US, UK and other nation's citizens needs to be seen to be done. Think of those whose pension funds were hit, or whose savings were affected, and the impact on long serving employees' pensions.
So peevee1 and others with a similar twisted sense of duty, please take note.
Ambulance chasing . And it looks like Pearl Harbor all over again on this site read bellow.
The prices they charge for their m4/3 gear they need investigating :-)
Is there also a Not-Very-Serious Fraud Office?
yeah, its called the Police.
Defraud somebody for a few quid and the police deal with it.
The SFO is just that - its for cases where the crime is serious and too complex for the police to investigate (ie the department is full of people that understand fraud and corruption law)
Another big lawyer payday looms
The gods that lived in Mount Olympus frequently behaved badly, too.
that's the problem.
as many as 1/4 of the population favor the gods or totalitarianism than fundamental human rights and they have a comfortable majority in the National Diet, control bureaucracy (including judiciary) and nearly 2000 major enterprises.
they backed up Olympus, helped the company to weather the disaster, and gave the company and criminals lightest punishment.
that's why we have to do the prosecution in UK.
Those suspended jail sentences send a clear message that this type of crime will be somewhat tolerated.
it depends on who you are.
your luck could be really bad if not one of them.
an example of politically motivated investigation in Japan
Japan is an advanced developed country with nasty medieval traditon.
it's not one company, it's the system that is rotten.
but that system has consistently produced astonishingly innovative world-leading products which has shaped our shared experiences for several decades, so, at least on some levels, it works.
Where the photo business is concerned, the Japanese invented the 35mm camera, rangefinder camera like the Leica and Contax and the first SLR, the Exakta. Other countries might be content to copy and perhaps improve but when it comes to thinking outside the box, Japan is the place.
The Japanese rarely have invented things. They have "polished" existing designs but most of what they have "created" was a better copy of something that already existed. Look at the minolta autocord, it's almost an exact copy of the German rolleicord, just a nicer focusing lever vs the German model's knob. Even the name was copied!
The never ending saga. Go bankrupt and start a new company. We'll be all happy.
...and name it Canikon
I do get how this stuff is of interest, but...
I once got to borrow an OM2n. That was a fabulous camera.
I think I'll be concentrating on the memories those pics bring.
If we hide our heads in the sand like that, things like this are allowed to happen all around us. Certainly we can't watch everyone but just ignoring it isn't an option either. Bad news, yep, I get it, nobody want's to hear bad news- but that's part of life take it or leave it.
I'll leave it thanks. The only effect you will have is on yourself, and that's what I'm choosing too.
Ignorance is merry bliss, indeed. It helps fraudsters succeed with impunity. Tsuyoshi Kikukawa will be so happy for the story to fade. To his chagrin, the bad Brit didn't play the hiding game, stay mum, and then get the blame. Might Japan's courts have been equally lenient? Ah, but what a sensational pic that would be for Tsuyoshi-san's album!
Considering the fact that Oly is preparing something new, I think such news carry some black PR scent.
You think the UK Serious Fraud Office is prosecuting Olympus for PR purposes?
The fraud was to cover up losses made by previous people. Quite the opposite of making a fortune -- they were, in fact, pretending to be paying enormous sums for worthless stuff while diverting most of the money to secretly fill in the massive money-pit.
This is why the sentencing was so lenient.
Gyrus appears to be a UK based subsidiary that was involved in these transactions, and so the UK SFO has jurisdiction to investigate and potentially prosecute anyone involved in the UK. It seems odd that there has been such a long delay before kicking off the investigation.
