Clifton is an incorporated town located in southwestern Fairfax County, Virginia, United States, with a population of 282 at the time of the 2010 Census.
Incorporated by the General Assembly on March 9, 1902, Clifton is currently one of only three towns in the county, the other two being Vienna and Herndon. Clifton's history begins pre-colonially, when the area was used as hunting grounds by the local Dogue Native American tribe. A railroad siding was constructed here during the Civil War, and the area became titled as Devereux Station. A nearby neighborhood on the outskirts of the Clifton ZIP code has this name. Development of a village at the siding began in 1868 when a railroad depot, named Clifton Station, was constructed.
Here is an article that may help you choose a mobile mechanic wisely!
Tips on how to Find and Hire a mobile auto mechanic Safely
There are a lot of stories of car owners who ended up in the hands of unqualified or dishonest mobile auto mechanic. When you fall prey to these types of mobile auto mechanic, you might find yourself having to pay an absurdly steep amount of money above the estimate you originally got and sometimes for non-existent repairs. Worse still, you may perhaps even be entrusting your vehicle with an inexperienced person who possesses neither the skills nor the skills needed to carry out auto repairs on any automobile. This will not only cost you a great deal stress for spending money and not getting any repairs done but will equally put your life as well as the lives of other motorists in danger.
Occurrences involving such mobile auto mechanic are actually even more common than you may possibly Expect and the prime reason for this is that most states mainly require a business license for one to carry on given that mobile auto mechanic. The absence of a recognized official certification system gets very easy for several dishonest and unskilled individuals to work as car mechanics. Regardless, a portion of the blame goes to the vehicle owners the majority of who take their cars to an auto mechanic without verifying whether or not the auto mechanic is a reliable mobile auto mechanic. In most cases with a little research, selecting and hiring a reliable auto mechanic should not be exceedingly very difficult.
If you are searching for a reliable professional mobile auto mechanic, here is a checklist of some things to look out for and those you should certainly avoid so that you can select the right professional to handle your repairs.
Request for Referrals from Family or Friends
This is one of the most effective and fastest techniques to find a reliable mobile auto mechanic or any other local professional. Chances are one of your good friends or trusted relatives know a trustworthy auto mechanic in your neighborhood. Naturally, you will still have to make sure the recommended auto mechanic but this can save you a great deal of trouble and also help you pick a professional you can trust with your vehicle within a shorter period of time. If this is not even an option for you however, you can take your search online.
Go through Online Reviews
A simple Google inquiry for mobile auto mechanics listed operating in your state will most likely give your more than enough results. Check for online reviews from the companies' business website. Paying attention to what other past clients have to say about a business gives you a view of the auto mechanic's credibility and reputation. You can also check Angie's list or the Better Business Bureau for listed mobile auto mechanic near you. That being said, always keep in mind that online testimonials can sometime be false as they may be dishonest reviews created by family members, associates, and even the auto mechanics' competitors. Pick about three or four auto mechanics so that you can shorten your search and simplify the process.
Ask for Recommendations
Any legitimate auto mechanic should also gladly provide you a list of customers they have worked with in the past without hesitation. You can get in touch with the references and inquire they the length of time they have worked with the services of the mobile auto mechanic, what repairs they got, and also the quality of service they got. If the references are inaccessible and/or sound untrustworthy, trust your instincts and carry on with your search.
Inquire about Price quotes
Asking for quotes from your chosen mobile auto mechanics gives you a leverage when searching for a dependable professional. You will find out the standard rate of maintenance and repairs in the industry and be in a position to know what is reasonable. After a preliminary assessment, any respectable and experienced professional auto mechanic ought to have the ability to give you a general estimate of the cost of the repairs. Of course, every single auto mechanic may charge you differently for repairs but the charge ought to range inside of what other car mechanics charge within the region. If the mobile auto mechanic haggles or is reluctant to give you a written price quote upon request, trust your intuitions and continue your search.
Before choosing a mobile auto mechanic, it is extremely important to read through your cars manufacturer's warranty carefully. Often times, taking your vehicle to be fixed by an auto mechanic might just rescind the manufacturer's warranty. If your vehicle warranty is already expired, ask the mobile auto mechanic if they give service warranties for maintenance and repairs and if they do, make sure to receive a signed warranty form before carrying out any kind of repairs.
Licensing and ASE Certification
Even though there is no established legislation that regulates auto mechanics, any professional is obligated to have a business license to operate. Any credible auto mechanic must be in a position to provide documents of licensing or certification without any difficulty. You should also contract a mobile auto mechanic who is ASE Certified so that you can be assured that they are qualified and serious automotive professionals. Only a serious professional will consistently want to stay updated on the most recent technology in their industry.
Do they Accept Credit Cards?
Another method to differentiate experts from unethical individuals is to ask whether they accept credit card payments or not. Most genuine companies accept credit cards. While this does not mean that all auto mechanics who do not agree to credit card transactions are bad, it is usually far better to be safe rather than sorry.
What to Avoid
Unreasonably Low Estimates
Vehicle repair services can be very expensive and yes, it always makes sense to try to find an auto mechanic who will offer you the most affordable offer. However, never be tempted to pick an auto mechanic just just because they offer you the most affordable estimate. As a matter of fact it is a good idea to stay clear of anybody who offers you an unreasonably cheap quote for repairs since this is a method most incompetent and dishonest auto mechanics use so as to hook innocent vehicle owners.
Hopefully these pointers will help you to find a reliable mobile auto mechanic in Clifton the next time your vehicle breakdown or simply won't start! Don't pick a mobile auto mechanic purely because of price. The qualifications and licensing of a mobile auto mechanic is of utmost importance, if you don't want to put the lives of yourself and your family at risk!

Will the Fed's exit from the mortgage markets bring inflation?
We're with R.E.M. when it comes to the end of the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing program: "It's the end of the world as we know it (and we feel fine)." Michael Stipe isn't known for his musings on monetary policy, but it's a good metaphor — for now. The unprecedented program, which in late 2008 began injecting over $1 trillion into our economy — mostly through the purchase of mortgage debt issued or guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — has come to a close as of March 31st. And we're all still standing. While many market observers expected the ending of this policy to lead to an increase in interest rates, particularly for mortgages, we have seen only a marginal change. In fact, over the last three weeks, 30-year fixed mortgage rates have only increased from 5.05% to 5.25%. In essence, the quantitative easing world has ended, which could've led to a scenario where everybody hurts. Instead, people getting new mortgages still "feel fine."

text: NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Smith Barney lifted its outlook for the wood products group Monday, citing better-than-expected pricing in recent months as well as seasonal, cyclical and secular improvements taking place. "Wood should benefit in the aftermath of this year's unusual hurricane season as builders play 'catch-up' with existing projects plus repair damaged homes," analyst Chip Dillon told clients. The analyst also cited stronger permit data as well as demographic changes in the United States over the next 5-10 years. Against that backdrop, Dillon raised his 2004 to 2006 earnings estimates for Georgia-Pacific GP, +1.35%, Louisiana Pacific LPX, -1.05% and Weyerhaeuser WY, -0.18%. His price targets rose to $43 from $40 for Georgia-Pacific; $33 from $32 for Louisiana Pacific; and $75 from $72 for Weyerhaeuser.

Too many New York children are living in substandard, and in many cases, unsafe housing conditions that expose them to environmental toxins that impact their health. Exposure to lead can lead to a life time of health challenges, impact a student's ability to learn and thrive in school, and can have long-last negative impacts on an individual's life and family.
In her widely cited article "Childhood Lead Poisoning: Conservative Estimates of the Social and Economic Benefits of Lead Hazard Control", Elise Gould, from the Economic Policy Institute, makes a compelling argument to mitigate lead (2009). Gould estimates the social costs of lead poisoning include: medical treatment ($11–$53 billion), lost earnings ($165–$233 billion), tax revenue ($25–$35 billion), special education ($30–$146 million), lead linked ADHD cases ($267 million), and criminal activity ($1.7 billion), for a total of $192–$270 billion. She estimates that the cost of mitigating lead hazards to range from $1.2 to $11.0 billion. The economic return in investing in lead hazard control is a return of $17-$221.

Shakira! You remember Shakira, right? I suppose it's been a while. When was "She Wolf"? 2009 apparently, fancy that. I know she's produced plenty of Spanish albums, but since her UK debut back in 2002, her upcoming self-titled album is only her fourth English-language release. Could that impact on her hopes for a big comeback? Well, I wouldn't ask Nelly Furtado…
So let's rope in some star power. Arguably Rihanna is the biggest star of the last few years (I said arguably, give me a break), so it makes sense to hitch a wagon if you're after big exposure. I didn't mean exposure literally, but there's plenty of that going on here too.
Shakira's no stranger to the superstar duet of course, featuring with Beyonce on "Beautiful Liar" back in 2007. I think that was for Beyonce's "B'Day" re-release but it's clear who's running the show on this new single.
It's difficult to anticipate what a Shakira/RiRi duet would sound, but the video is pretty much as expected. As so often seems to happen, I saw the video a few times in the gym before hearing the song, and I almost imagined something a bit more like "Beautiful Liar", but it's more of the typical Shakira brand of Latin-rock, though sadly without her usual lunatic lyrics.
As I said, the video is as expected – they look pretty for a while, then they get their bodies out, more particularly their arses. All very good, Shakira does that rump-rolling move against a wall like she often does, and plays the guitar like she often does.
I wanted this to be better; Shakira's come out with some amazingly offbeat lead singles, but this feels a bit too much like playing it safe. Maybe the label is conscious that there's been a big gap since her last material, and they can't be too complacent. However, now seeing she's racked up over 100m views in little over 2 weeks, I doubt they've got too much to worry about yet.

Brooklyn Prospect Charter Middle and High Schools
Adapting schools built in the mid-20th century offers great opportunities as educational models continue to evolve. We designed a Master Campus Plan for Brooklyn Prospect Charter School in 2012, which was moving into a former parochial elementary school. Later that year, we completed state-of-the-art classrooms, renovated the gymnasium, added an outdoor eating area, and created a new library. New science labs and a dance studio were added in 2013. Our most recent project in 2014 included a new black box theater and converting part of the existing convent on the 4th Floor into classrooms and administrative spaces.

Reformation Italy is only possible with the faithful prayers and generous contributions of people like you. Without prayer, we will accomplish nothing. Jesus said that "the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send our laborers into his harvest" (Matt. 9:37-38). Please remember Italy in your prayers. Ask your family members and church to pray for us. Below is a detailed list of our prayer requests:
Pray that the gospel will be proclaimed boldly in Italy and that churches will be planted.
Pray for the church in Milan and the church plant in Perugia.
Pray that these churches will be spiritually healthy with faithful preaching.
Pray for the spiritual well being and financial support of our missionaries, Rev. Brown in Milan and Rev. Ferrari in Perugia.
Pray for Rev. Brown's wife, Janie, and son, Iain, as they are adjusting to life in a new country.
Pray for Vincenzo Coluccia as he studies at Westminster Seminary California.

Rorick Heritage Vineyards, Calaveras County-Sierra Foothills. This wine is a kitchen sink blend of Zinfandel, Barbera, Trousseau, Tempranillo, Graciano, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose shows soft red fruits with a light floral hit and some dusty minerals and cherry. The palate is moderate in weight with a good mineral grip to it with umami and fruit flavors of cherry and boysenberry. D&M Tasting Notes
Practicing organic
Fermentation: Barbera, Trousseau, and Graciano were each fermented in open top fermenters with 100% stem inclusion; Cabernet Sauvignon was destemmed and fermented in an open-top; the Tempranillo was destemmed and fermented in a closed-top tank / all lots were pressed at dryness and barreled down to neutral 227L barrique until May 2018.
The Forlorn Hope wines are the result of a project devoted to displaying
the wealth of California's viticultural potential -- as well as championing varieties less common. Taken as a departure from the stereotypical Californian product, the Rare Creatures of the Forlorn Hope display what is possible when great care is taken in combining soil type, climate/site, and variety to produce wines which require no manipulation. The Queen of the Sierra wines are an exploration of the potential of Rorick's 80 acre estate vineyard.

text: UNDAC members have been deployed this years to two Interagency Assessment missions in Africa coordinated by the Capacity for Disaster Reduction Initiative (CADRI). The first one in March at the request of the Government of Guinea and the UN Resident Coordinator, with the participation of one UNDAC member from Senegal who looked at Urban Search and Rescue aspects, along with a Finnish expert deployed by the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism, and one from Belgium who looked specifically at the emergency medical component. The second mission took place last July in Namibia with the participation of UNDAC members from Mozambique, South Africa, Malawi, Kenya, Estonia and Germany. Both teams spent their time collecting data and analysing the existing capacity before providing recommendations to governments on how to strengthen their national capacities regarding emergency preparedness and response and disaster risk reduction.

My 10 Favorite Movies of 2017
I have an obsession with making lists, let's just get that straight. When I was in elementary school, I'd doodle in my notebooks during class by making lists of the greatest athletes in a given sport. Since then, my tastes and passions have changed slightly, but my love for making lists has endured.
When it comes to movies, the year-end list is a mainstay. I have been keeping tabs of my personal favorite films from throughout the year as I have watched them with the goal of coming up with a final list of my favorites from the year. Below, you will find my 10 favorites with a few honorable mentions. But first, a few caveats.
One, I live in northern Indiana. So, we often don't get many Oscar-buzzy movies until January. There are some major films that I have not seen yet. A few of them I expect to make their way onto this list, but I don't think it's fair to put a film on the list that I have not actually seen. I also feel that it's only fair that I have to put out my year-end list before the year actually ends. So, below are my favorites of the movies that I have seen in 2017, but there's a good chance that I will be updating it throughout January. If I add any new films, I will acknowledge which films were added and removed from the list you see here.
Two, I don't want this particular post to get too bogged down by review material. For any of the films on this list that I have already reviewed, I'll provide a link to the longer review in case you'd like to read my full thoughts on the film. But, for this post, I'll just give a short blurb for each finalist with the reasons why I love that film.
Three, let me be clear - these are my personal favorites. If you don't see a film on here that you loved, don't take that as me slighting any film. I thought this was a year full of incredible filmmaking from a wide array of artists. These are the 10 films that I saw this year that resonated with me the most, but that doesn't mean they are the only films that struck a chord with me. But, as is the nature with lists, you have to end somewhere.
With that, let's begin.*
Honorable Mentions****
5. Baby Driver
4. Star Wars: The Last Jedi
3. The Meyerowitz Stories: New and Selected
2. The Shape of Water++
1. Get Out
The Top 10
10. The Big Sick
Simply put, this is an incredibly charming movie. As a romantic comedy, this film works very well. At the early stages, it may seem that that is its only goal. But then it takes a turn and begins to unravel our country's healthcare system in a subtle way. The movie is very well-written, and the acting is fantastic, too - especially from Holly Hunter. This movie made me laugh harder than a movie has in a long time, but it made me think, too.
9. Molly's Game**
When I heard Aaron Sorkin would be making his directorial debut, I marked Molly's Game down as one of my most anticipated films of 2017. It did not disappoint, and though Sorkin's script is spectacular, it was Jessica Chastain's navigation of it that really stood out to me. Her performance is fantastic, and she carries the film to spectacular heights. This is a movie about the games we play and how we must define winning on our own terms.
8. I, Tonya***
The story of Tonya Harding is the exact type of tabloid, reality TV fodder that our culture has come to crave. Sometimes it's difficult to unearth the truth in it all. The creative team of director Craig Gillespie and writer Steve Rogers adeptly bring this to life in I, Tonya through their playful use of the unreliable narrator. Margot Robbie and Allison Janney both give incredible performances, and the script is full of nuance.
7. The Florida Project+
This movie showcases a slice of life not often seen in movies. Here we see a life of poverty, but through the eyes of a child. That child is Moonee, who lives with her mother Halley. Willem Dafoe gives an incredible performance as the manager of the motel where they live. The power of this film is in its ability to get us to experience the lives of these people and question how our systems can give them the impossible choices they face. Should they be absolved of wrongdoing? No. But it's sad that they feel the need to even make such choices in the first place.
6. A Ghost Story
I don't think I've ever seen a movie quite like A Ghost Story. This film takes a great deal of patience. A perfect example is a scene that feels like it takes an entire hour when Rooney Mara's character eats a pie in real time. But give this film a chance. If you are able to suspend your impatience, you'll see that the film is really using time to craft a narrative. This film has massive ambition. It seeks to investigate whether we can communicate across time. Put another way - can we create something that truly outlasts us? Or does everything fade in time? This movie has a major payoff for those who will indulge in its pace.
5. Columbus
If not for a film later on this list, Columbus would be my favorite cinematography of the year. Director Kogonada and DP Elisha Christian have a keen eye for the architectural wonders of Columbus, Indiana. They juxtapose those smooth lines with the often messy lives of two characters played beautifully by Haley Lu Richardson and John Cho. This film also gave me a great deal of pride in my native Hoosier State.
4. Lady Bird
See this movie two, three - as many times as you like. It is endlessly charming, and there are depths to it that I didn't catch the first time. I definitely came in with the hype of its Rotten Tomatoes score on my mind. Push out the hype and just experience what this film has to offer. Director and writer Greta Gerwig is fantastic, as is Saoirse Ronan in the lead role. And Laurie Metcalf might just win an Oscar for her supporting turn. A closing scene at the airport is especially moving. This is a fantastic film!
3. Mudbound
This is an extremely well-written film with beautiful cinematography and a fantastic ensemble cast. For me, the star was director Dee Rees, who weaves together many storylines and themes to craft a narrative about wars abroad and at home. Mary J. Blige and Jason Mitchell are both incredible in their supporting roles. This is a hard film at times. At others, it is incredibly uplifting.
2. Blade Runner 2049
This was very nearly a masterpiece for me. I saw it twice in theaters. Both times, I was in awe. The first hour and a half or so is virtuoso filmmaking. Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford give fine performances, but the best acting turn of the movie comes from Sylvia Hoeks as a chilling replicant. This sequel showcases a respect for the original while also moving the story forward. But more than anything, this film is a vehicle for the supreme talents of cinematographer Roger Deakins. This might be the best work of his legendary career, and I certainly hope he finally takes home an Oscar. As the movie progresses, I thought director Denis Villeneuve went for too much weight. But even the slowed pace does not drag the movie down much. This film is incredible, and it was my personal favorite for most of the year. That is, until I saw...
1. Phantom Thread***
Paul Thomas Anderson and Daniel Day-Lewis combine to create this masterpiece that is haunting, mysterious and beautiful all together. Those two are the headliners, but Vicky Krieps gives the film's best performance. Add in a fantastic supporting turn from Lesley Manville along with the best film score of the year from Jonny Greenwood, and you have my personal top film of 2017.

text: This 1970's basement rancher was in tremendous need of a facelift. The goal was to open up the main areas in order to take advantage of natural light and allow the space to function within the client's lifestyle. These clients were wonderful to work with, allowing us the freedom to take artistic liberties as we moved through the project. It might look like a million dollars, but this renovation was completed on a modest budget with mid-grade materials. What makes it work? The secret to success in this project was most certainly the homeowner's flexibility paired with a beautiful design plan and well-executed high-quality trade work.

We have been very blessed this school year to have free housing in one of the apartments available on the Alliance Academy International campus. We live in the basement level of the back wing of the Alliance dorm. We share this basement level with the AAI Dining Commons that provides lunches for high school students. A few dorm students live in the floors above and other wings have been rented out to other AAI teachers.
We have also been able to keep up with our mortgage payments, because we had a renter staying in our townhouse since last March.
We have also been blessed with the additional financial support of different friends and family throughout the past few months. Thank you so much for those who have prayed for us and those who have given of their finances to help us continue our ministry here.
We recently heard from our realtor that our renter is interested in moving out of the townhouse. Our realtor also suggested that we find someone else to manage the renting of our home, because his business is moving more toward the leasing of business property as opposed to private property.
However, when we called him to discuss our options, he told us that the renter was not ready to leave the townhouse at the end of her lease (beginning of March). She has requested to stay in our townhouse on a month to month basis until she finds the new job and new home that she is looking for. It appears that our realtor will continue to take care of the rental until she leaves.
Therefore, our financial situation will remain steady until the end of March. We will just have to wait and see what God brings us at that point.
