When choosing who will officiate at your wedding, first you need to decide whether you are going to have a religious or non religious ceremony.

If your choice is a religious ceremony, then you will want to have an ordained minister of a faith similar to your own officiate.

Some people know up front who their wedding officiant will be. Perhaps their pastor is their first choice or a family member is ordained and will lead the special occasion.

But many couples do not already know someone who they’ve decided would be the ideal person to lead them into holy matrimony.

In April, the District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia barred the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office from instituting the sweeping rules changes it proposed to limit the number of continuing applications, requests for continued examination (RCEs), and claims that an applicant could make. Even so, it is important to keep an eye on this case. The USPTO is considering an appeal.

The case stems from a proposal that was to take effect Nov. 1, 2007. Among the new provisions, applicants would have been limited to two continuations or continuation-in-part applications and one RCE after the first application. Applicants also would have been restricted to submitting 25 claims, five of which could be independent. The old rules, which remain in effect, allow for an unlimited number of continuing applications, RCEs, and claims.

Obesity is the most common health problem for cats. A cat is considered obese if it weighs 20% more than its optimal weight and if the extra weight is a result of the accumulation of fat. If a cat is anywhere from 1 to 19% heavier than its ideal body weight, then it is considered overweight and not obese. In order for a cat to maintain good health and have a long and happy life, the cat must maintain a healthy weight.

The issue of correctly transferring property can be vitally important, as real property is often a person’s largest and most valuable asset. If you need to transfer the ownership of real property from one person to another, you will need to use a Deed to do so - but which one. That answer depends on what is the reason for the transfer, what goals are intended by the transfer and who is going to hold title to the property after the transfer.

Pets are healers. The blind love and affection that animals can bring to their owners is like therapy. They are friends, companions, and a three-ring circus-act all wrapped up in one. Needing to take responsibility for another life brings meaning to one’s own life, and keeps one active and useful.

Credit card fraud is a crime of deception. It occurs when someone pretends to be the cardholder and tricks a merchant (business, service provider, seller, etc.) into exchanging merchandise or rendering services while maintaining the belief that the credit card account will provide payment for services. Almost always the merchant eventually learns that they will not be paid, or the payment they received will be reclaimed by the card’s issuing bank because they have been the victim of credit card fraud. This is why most merchants are becoming more vigilant then ever when it comes to verifying credit card numbers.

You will notice on our firm website that many of our cases are settled out of court, rather than trying the case in court with a jury. This is not a cop out by any means and settling a case is almost always more beneficial to the client than taking the case before a jury.

Be vigilant about protecting your children. Child predators are all around, some have been caught and are in the sex offenders registry. But MANY have not been caught yet. (Be sure and check the sex offenders registry often) You can still protect your children even though not all pedophiles in your area have been caught and listed.

But you can be sure of one thing, there ARE child predators nearby. So be on guard!!

Be aware of anyone who seems to show an unusual interest in your child. Child predators usually work very closely with children and have the trust of the child’s parents. Don’t make this mistake.
