Say “hi” to Ranger, a sweet and calm 10-year-old kitty looking for his forever home.
Here’s what Ranger’s friends at Fancy Cats Rescue Team had to say about him:
Ranger is a very sweet 10-year-old male looking for his forever home. He is very easygoing and enjoys napping most of the day away. He will gladly sit on the couch next to you for hours! He has a very calm disposition but does get the kitty zoomies when chasing a laser pointer! He loves to communicate with you when he wants attention, especially in the mornings when he is being fed. He is a great cat and is so deserving of a loving home!
Are you and Ranger the perfect match?

We represent many employees in the workplace and individuals in administrative and civil forums. The unthinkable Capitol riot that took place on January 6, 2021, will lead to many serious consequences for the individuals who took part. While the full extent of what happened is still being investigated, there will be many consequences for those identified as being involved in the illegal riot in the Capitol.
These may include, but are not limited to the following:
1. Loss of Employment
Whether or not the individual involved is convicted, charged or just identified as being involved in the illegal activities in the Capitol on January 6, 2021, they can be fired from their employment. Private and public sector employees can be easily fired for their participation in the Capitol riots. There is no First Amendment protection for their actions.
2. Loss of Security Clearance
Aside from the issue of termination from employment, an individual that was involved and identified as being part of the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, almost certainly will face the potential loss of their security clearance or a future inability to hold one. Whether the issue is criminal or just misconduct, individuals that hold or plan to hold a security clearance will likely have significant issues.
3. Criminal Charges
A number of the Capitol rioters have already been charged criminally for their actions on January 6, 2021. There is reason to suspect this list will grow significantly in the weeks to come as the FBI continues their work.
Depending on whether the individual is charged with (1) knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building without law authority; (2) theft; (3) vandalism; (4) disorderly conduct; (5) violence (the murder of U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick) (or assault on a federal law enforcement officer or a member of Congress); or (6) seditious conspiracy, there are major criminal penalties that await many of the rioters.
This is just a sample of the potential criminal charges that could be filed by prosecutors against Capitol rioters.
4. Placement on the No Fly List
Another consequence that individuals participating in the Capitol riot likely did not consider is that some appear to now being placed on the “No Fly List.” The No Fly List is a list created and maintained by the United States Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) of individuals who are prohibited from boarding commercial aircraft for travel within, into or out of the United States.
Already it looks as if some individuals have had difficulties returning home from Washington, D.C. after their participation in the Capitol riot. It can be extremely difficult to ever be taken off this list after being placed on it.
5. Lawsuits
For those Capitol rioters who engaged in violence or other actions that hurt others, they are likely to face civil lawsuits when they are identified. Insurers will be unlikely to defend them so rioters will face significant legal and liability costs. Others who did not participate in violence towards others but were present may also be called as witnesses and be dragged into multi-year litigation.
Conclusion
This is just an interim list of consequences for Capitol rioters as there are a number of other potential consequences they may face in the days and months to come as a result of their actions.
The Capitol riot was a horrific event that caused at least two police officers to tragically lose their lives, more than 50 other police officers to be injured, in addition to a number of rioters who lost their own lives. Those who participated in the Capitol riot are going to face a number of legal consequences as a result of their actions.
Meet Jenny, a sweet, affectionate 3-year-old hound mix available for adoption locally.
Here’s what her friends at NOVA Pets Alive! had to say about her:
Jenny is 3 years old and around 60 pounds.
Jenny’s foster mom says: ‘Jenny is an incredibly sweet dog who will take as much love and affection as she can get! She’s crate trained and leash trained. She’s a little bit of a snob when it comes to her food but is also very gentle when accepting treats. She would make a great family dog. She’s about medium energy — she’ll happily go on hour-long walks, play with a ball or relax on the dog bed in the living room with everyone.’
Jenny would prefer to be the only dog in the home but will happily share her space with some human siblings!

Say “hi” to Alaska, a sweet and cuddly girl who’s available for adoption locally.
Here’s what her friends at Fancy Cats Rescue Team had to say about her:
Alaska is a sweet and cuddly girl. She’s an easygoing and laidback cat and even loves belly rubs.
When she’s not lounging around on her comfy cat blanket, she likes to follow and lay down next to her foster. She has been around small dogs and doesn’t pay any mind to them! She will love her human more than other animals. It is unknown how she is with another cat.
Her meows sound like she’s saying “mama.” She loves treats and she has great litter-box manners. When she arrived at her foster home, she was buried in her bed in the carrier for five minutes before she became a cuddle-bug.
Could you and Alaska be the perfect match?

We represent many federal employees in the workplace, including defending federal employees against proposed disciplinary actions. Despite the common belief that it’s hard to discipline or remove a federal employee, that is simply not the case. Federal employees quite often face disciplinary and adverse actions.
The following are some general tips regarding how to avoid these potential problems. There are too many to list here, but the following are some good ones to consider.
Get Along With Supervisors
Not getting along with supervisors is the leading cause of disciplinary actions for federal employees. When serious disagreements arise between a supervisor and his or her subordinate, it degrades the employment relationship, which often leads to future disciplinary or performance issues. Even in difficult situations, federal employees should do their best to be professional and pleasant to supervisors (and then find other employment or a transfer if need be). This is not always easily accomplished.
Don’t Use the Internet at Work for Personal Use
While many federal agencies are somewhat relaxed in their enforcement of these types of internet policies, it’s important to avoid using the internet for personal use while at work. Also, avoid using government-issued computers for personal use (e.g. laptops). We have represented many federal employees who are investigated for either inappropriate use of the internet (accessing inappropriate sites), misuse of government computers or in regards to too frequent personal internet use.
Often, we defend federal employees who have used the internet for Facebook, Twitter or even personal banking. It is important to keep in mind that, if an agency wants to, they can quickly determine personal usage and an investigation can start.
Avoid Using Government Email for Personal Use
It is best practice to use your personal email account for personal email correspondence. There are some exceptions. We have represented a number of federal employees who have been proposed for discipline due to misuse of their official government email account, especially with respect to certain types of content. Sometimes the federal employee’s issues involve using government email for personal use or sending inappropriate correspondence or photos. Also avoid using quotations or sayings in signature blocks when corresponding to others using your government email account.
Do Not Use Government Credit Cards for Personal Use
This happens frequently and many times it’s just mistaken use. We have represented many federal employees who have innocently used their government credit card for personal charges. Not only are many federal employees disciplined or removed for such misuse, but they can be forced to repay the funds to the government. Even if policies on credit card usage are not apparently enforced, do not use a government credit card for personal use under any circumstances. If an accidental use happens, consult an attorney to determine how to disclose this to your agency.
Meet Charming Chad, a 10-pound terrier mix with a big personality!
Here’s what his friends at Safe Haven Puppy Rescue had to say about him:
Charming Chad is just that — so charming! He is all of 10 pounds with a HUGE personality. He is 2 years old and just a love. He is with one of our wonderful fosters in Northern Virginia, and they say he has been a delight and gets along well with her two pups and kids. He seems to be house-trained and fully vaccinated.
He has been a joy to have with us, but he is ready to go to his forever family. We’re confident he will make his adopters a terrific companion. This charming guy is a nice blend of friendly affection and normal playfulness and will bring lots of love to any home.
Are you and Charming Chad the perfect match?
This is a sponsored post from Eve Thompson of Reston Real Estate. For a more complete picture of home sales in your neighborhood, contact her on Reston Real Estate.
It was an interesting year in Reston real estate. When the COVID-19 shutdowns hit, most agents were sure we’d be having a very difficult year. Oddly, after a quiet two or three weeks, most of us found ourselves busier than ever.
Low interest rates created a great buy-up market, and families suddenly faced with living, working and educating in one place found themselves reevaluating their housing needs.
More than 1,341 properties as of this writing have traded hands with another 60-plus scheduled to settle by December 31 — pushing Reston to just over 1,400 transactions with a value of more than $721 million.
Average home prices rose by 7% this year, coming in at $517,000 vs. $479,000 in 2019. Demand has remained strong and housing inventory has been low. If you’re selling a home and are not getting lots of traffic, you need to have a heart-to-heart with your agent. Strong demand doesn’t mean the buyer will buy anything — price and condition are still the most important factors in getting your house sold.
We currently have just 104 properties on the market; 107 homes sold in the past 30 days, and 66 homes are pending.
With interest rates expected to average 3.075% through 2021, the Reston real estate market should continue to be strong. If you’re ready to sell in 2021, you shouldn’t have too much trouble, provided you work with your agent to get your house ready and dig into the numbers to really understand what the market is doing in your neighborhood.

Transitional design continues to reign supreme when it comes to kitchen remodels in Reston and across the county, but with so many homes in our area leaning toward more contemporary architecture, a transitional kitchen is not the only way to go. We love it when clients are ready to remodel with a more modern aesthetic that’s in keeping with the rest of their home.
When we think of “contemporary design,” it sometimes conjures up images of cold, urban, minimalist design. Not so! Contemporary design tends to get a reputation as being reserved for city dwellers with lots of exposed brick, concrete and ductwork, but today’s contemporary design bridges the gap between the extreme of the ultra-modern and the everyday “we actually live here and not in a magazine version of ourselves” look.
Here are a few tips on how to achieve a more contemporary look:
- To avoid a space feeling ‘cold,’ don’t use all one color of cabinetry. Natural wood colors have been re-introduced into cabinetry, and it’s a trend we LOVE. Think white oak base cabinets and white upper cabinets or the incorporation of walnut into your design. We’re calling this as one of the major design trends in coming years. What else is on our list? Read “The Synergy Team Calls the 2021 Home Remodeling & Interior Design Trends.”
- Paint trends are leaning toward more calming and natural colors. Use paint as another way to modernize your space without losing warmth. Not sure where to start? Check out these color trends of 2021.
- It’s all about tile! Geometric or textured tile is a trend that began a few years ago and is here to stay. A great way to update your look is a simple backsplash or floor update.
- Fixtures don’t need to be all chrome to be modern. One of our favorite trends in recent years is the use of mixed metals. (Think: honey bronze, black and rose gold.)
This month’s featured home remodel is a contemporary Reston gem. This Reston home had great bones and a lot of personality, but the finishes were dated, and a load-bearing wall between the kitchen and dining room made the spaces feel small and closed-off. This remodel was all about breathing a breath of fresh, modern air throughout the main level and opening up the floor plan. You can see more of the ‘before and afters’ of this project here.
Whatever your aesthetic, our in-house team of interior designers are ready to help you design your dream kitchen, master bathroom or basement. We don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach and each project we work on is a custom remodel. Ready to work with a company who can turn your design vision into reality? Get in touch!
After purchasing your car insurance you will receive a declaration page from your insurance company detailing the amount and type of coverage you have for specific incidents. Below are some of the most important areas to understand.
Bodily Injury Coverage
If you are involved in a car accident with one or more other cars a claim or lawsuit may be made against you for personal injury. This claim could be made by a passenger in your car or the driver or passenger in the other car(s). New York State law mandates that your insurance carrier must provide at least $25,000/$50,000 in coverage for this claim. Many car owners in Suffolk County chose to increase that amount of coverage. It is common to see Suffolk County car owners with Bodily Injury coverage in the amount of $100,000/$300,000, $250,000/$500,000 or even higher.
Supplemental Spousal Liability Coverage
Regular bodily injury coverage applies to all passengers in your car if an accident is caused by the driver’s negligence. However, if the passenger is the spouse of the driver, the coverage will not apply.
Insurance companies in New York are required to offer the car owner an opportunity to purchase Supplemental Spousal liability coverage. This coverage covers the liability of the car owner if their spouse is injured or killed due to their negligent operation of the car. With this coverage the spouse can make a claim up to the amounts of the bodily injury limits.
Property Damage Liability Coverage
This coverage is used to pay to repair damage that you cause to another person’s vehicle or property. In New York State the requirement is that insurance companies provide at least $10,000 for third party property damage liability coverage. Many cars in Suffolk County are worth far more than $10,000. For that reason many Suffolk County car owners purchase a higher amount of this type coverage. Property damage limits of $25,000, $50,000 and higher are available for an additional premium.
Collision Coverage
This optional insurance, is when your own insurance company pays you, without regard to fault, for damage to your car caused by a collision with another car or any other object or your car overturning. Collision coverage has a deductible option that is generally between $500 and $1,000.
Comprehensive Coverage
This coverage is used when your insurance company pays you, without regard to fault, for damage to your car from all causes, other than collision, such as theft (of your car or some of its parts), fire, flood, windstorm, glass breakage, vandalism, contact with an animal, or contact with falling or flying objects.
Comprehensive coverage has a deductible option that is generally between $500 and $1,000.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) — No-Fault Benefits
If you are injured in a car accident in New York State you will most likely receive Personal Injury (PIP) benefits from the insurance carrier of the car you were in. This type of coverage is commonly referred to as “No-Fault” benefits.
New York State requires your insurance company to provide at least $50,000 in basic No-Fault benefits. Many car owners in Suffolk County purchase additional coverage.
A car owner may raise the limit of basic No-Fault coverage to $100,000 or even higher. Accident victims in Suffolk County often sustain very serious injuries that require surgeries or hospital stays; in these cases the basic $50,000 in coverage can be exhausted quickly.
In addition car owners can purchase Optional Basic Economic Loss (OBEL) coverage from their insurance company. This increases the No-Fault coverage by $25,000. After the basic amount is exhausted the OBEL can be designated by an injured person to be applied specifically to payments for loss of earnings from work (wage loss), for rehabilitation, or to all elements of basic economic loss.
Supplementary Uninsured/Underinsured Motorists (SUM) Coverage
This coverage includes bodily injury protection against negligent actions of an uninsured or hit-and-run motorist. The minimum amount of this coverage is $25,000/$50,000. For an additional premium you can purchase additional coverage limits.
This coverage is also used if you are involved in an accident with another vehicle that does not have enough coverage to compensate you for your bodily injury. This is known as underinsured coverage.

This is a sponsored column by attorneys John Berry and Kimberly Berry of Berry & Berry, PLLC, an employment and labor law firm located in Northern Virginia that specializes in federal employee, security clearance, retirement and private sector employee matters.
By John V. Berry, Esq.
We often are consulted on security clearance matters by federal employees and government contractors in the security clearance process.
In many cases, the security clearance application, investigation and adjudication process will be non-eventful. However, if problems arise, they are typically discovered as the federal employee or government contractor is in the process of preparing his or her security clearance application through e-QIP or the government’s Standard Form 86. If there are potential security clearance issues for an applicant, they should seek advice from an experienced attorney in this area as early as possible.
The following are some general tips for those individuals going through their first investigation — or their third re-investigation:
1. Take Time, Don’t Rush and Answer Security Clearance Forms Carefully
This is one of the most important tips for those undergoing the security clearance process.
Individuals often receive clearance denials because they did not take the time to read the questions asked or proofread their responses on the e-QIP/SF-86 application prior to submission. In some cases, if an individual does not take enough time to read a question and answers “no,” when they should have answered “yes,” a clearance investigator or adjudicator might conclude that the individual was attempting to be dishonest or hide information. This can lead to a clearance denial. Therefore, it is very important to carefully complete the e-QIP/SF-86 before submitting it.
2. Tell the Truth
This seems straightforward, but this recommendation cannot be overstated. Individuals applying for security clearances should be honest in all aspects of the clearance process. When an individual is dishonest during the clearance process, it could not only potentially bar the individual from receiving a security clearance, which would remain on his or her permanent clearance record, but it could also raise a number of other legal issues, including potential criminal issues.
It is often easier for a security clearance attorney to mitigate security clearance concerns involving past financial or prior drug or alcohol usage issues than to defend him or her against an allegation involving dishonesty in the clearance application or interview process.
Caveat: A security clearance applicant should consult with a security clearance attorney if there are any possible affirmative criminal disclosures or civil issues where answering “yes” could place the individual in potential legal harm. It is not often the case, but sometimes an individual may decide to avoid continuing in the security clearance process rather than answering adverse questions.
3. Examine Relevant Documents in Advance
Next, it’s important for individuals undergoing the security clearance process to take the necessary time to gather and review relevant documents related to any potential security clearance problem in advance.
Taking this step will help an individual in three ways: (a) it will help an individual remember all the details of the potential security concern, such as a past arrest, financial issue or foreign contact information, in preparation for answering questions; (b) the documentation may help to mitigate the security concerns now, if necessary; and (c) it is helpful to start organizing the information now as opposed to later when deadlines for responding may occur on short notice.
4. Prepare Yourself for the Interview
If an individual believes there’s a chance problem areas exist in a security clearance application, he or she should expect to be asked about these areas by the assigned investigator. The investigative interview can vary in duration from an hour to several hours, depending on whether significant security concerns exist. A significant amount of the discussion that comes up during the investigative interview will be obtained by the investigator through reviewing the e-QIP or SF-86. Investigators carry credentials identifying them as representatives of DCSA. When the interview starts, they will present their credentials upon introduction.
Despite the low traffic volumes on the roads in 2020, the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates indicate that approximately 38,680 people lost their lives on American roads. This represents a 7.2 increase from the figures recorded in 2019.
While 2020 statistics can be blamed on open roads, what is worrying is that even as roads fill up, the number of fatalities on American roads is still high, with industry players declaring the problem an epidemic. According to preliminary reports from the NHTSA, 8,730 people died on American roadways in the first quarter of 2021, representing a 10.5 percent increase from the same period in 2020.
Even as these fatalities continue to pile up, the Department of Transportation is struggling with a backlog of safety regulations ordered by Congress that are long overdue. Some of these rules were due as far as four years ago and could have potentially saved thousands of lives.
Traffic Rules That Are Yet to Be Implemented
According to a review by the associated press, over 13 traffic rules ordered by Congress remain unimplemented. One of the most significant of these rules is the rear-seat safety notification. This rule required car manufacturers to install warning notifications to drivers when a rear-seat passenger is not buckled. The rule has remained unimplemented since 2012 despite evidence showing that approximately half the people that die in an auto accident are unbuckled.
Another pending rule is the side impact standards for children’s car seats. This rule was ordered by Congress in 2014 but is yet to see the light of day. The rule required child car seat manufacturers to ensure that their products meet the set standard to protect children in the event of a side-impact crash.
Other rules yet to be implemented include standards for “smart” headlights, long-distance truck drivers’ medical evaluation for sleep apnea, anti-ejection measures for buses, and a requirement for auto manufactures to keep a ten-year safety record.
The Impact of Backlog in Federal Safety Rules
As these rules remain unimplemented, the impact has been very significant, leaving families devastated. These statistics may sound like numbers to many, but for the families of the 38,680 individuals who lost their lives in 2020, it means the loss of a spouse, child, mom, dad, or friend.
The parents of Kailee Mills, a sixteen-year-old who lost her life in an auto crash in 2017, know the pain far too well. According to them, Kailee was riding with friends to a party when she unbuckled to take a selfie with one of them. At that moment, the vehicle flipped, ejecting her. Kailee died on the spot while her buckled friends suffered minor bruises.
According to her father, David Mills, the family believes that their daughter would probably be alive if these new driving rules had been implemented. “Government should not take so long to act for safety,” said Mills. Following their loss, David and Wendy Mills Kailee’s parents have dedicated their lives to raising awareness on the need for buckling up through their Kailee’s Mills Foundation in honor of their daughter.
There Is Hope
These delays have prompted the attorneys general of the District of Colombia and 17 seventeen states to write to President Joe Biden urging him to hasten the implementation of these rules.
According to Jason Lavine, the executive director Center for Auto Safety, the Biden administration seems more interested in implementing pending regulations across different sectors, which gives a glimmer of hope for increased road safety once the rules are implemented.
If you or someone you know has been affected by an auto accident, contacting a personal injury attorney may help the injured party and family navigate through the legal process and receive the compensation they deserve.
Meet Tiny, a sweet and playful boy who’s available for adoption locally.
Here’s what his friends at Fancy Cats Rescue Team had to say about him:
Are you Batman seeking Robin, Bert looking for Ernie, peanut butter missing jelly? If so, we’ve got the perfect sidekick for you. His name is Tiny, and he’s a glorious black and white people pleaser, a perfect companion. To show his appreciation and affection, he’ll follow you around, rub against your legs, and have a chat with you. In a new situation, Tiny might be shy at first. But before long, his sweet and social side will come through. Tiny is a playful and active guy who likes nothing better than a good game of ‘chase the feather’ with you.
Tiny’s early life was nothing to purr about. Born in Kuwait, he was found in the street with a broken skull. His rescuers got him medical care and lovingly nursed him back to health. Other than a slight wobble when he walks, you’d never know this happy and robust boy went through such trauma.
Your new best buddy is waiting for you. Come meet Tiny at Patriot Pawsabilities soon. See him at instagram hashtag #tiny_fcdrt
