Nice quality and fun to own.
By Cablecop on Sunday, February 04, 2018My Escape is a 2016. Built in Kentucky. I have over 30,000 miles on it already. The wife and I are very happy with it. We are 67 years old and we shopped for small SUVs 60 miles south and 50 miles north. The milage is what continues to truly make us happy. Most driving is highway on cruise. We get 30-31 mph. The model is a SE with eco-boost. This model year has a very comfy full power drivers seat. The passenger seat is not power and is not as comfy. Remember, the car is now 3 years old and I read that the interior is even nicer. The rear cargo area with seats folded down is surprisingly, quite large. The paint job is a beautiful pearlescent deep white. The quietness on the highway surprised us. It came with Michelin X Green tires. So far no visible wear! You can adjust the tail gate to go up only as much as you like. 3 different buttons to raise or close it. On the outside door pillar is a keypad which lights up to open. Good if you lock your keys in the car, (and remember your code) Tire pressure warning if low. Very nice Sync 3. My model year on the SE did not come with GPS. Only 2 wishes. Better passenger seat and GPS. These probably are on the 2018. Avery nice car.

Well rounded vehicle
By Rick on Saturday, May 13, 2017I have owned the Escape now for 1 year and 7 months and really cannot find anything wrong. The only thing I can mention is the rear seats are stiff, but nobody ever rides there and they are folded down many times for hauling large objects. The mpg has been averaging 23 and that is mostly city with no highway miles. We took a couple of road trips that average 32. It has the normally aspirated 2.5 liter engine without Eco boost, which gives plenty of acceleration. The Escape is a quality vehicle that anyone should like.

Very Good Car
By Bill on Saturday, January 06, 2018I bought this SE 1.6 EcoBoost in April 2017. Twenty months later I am very happy with the car. The styling is very nice. The seat is very comfortable and the seat belts easy to use. The engine is smooth and powerful and I can hit 80 MPH real easily without even knowing I am going that fast. I use the cruise to keep from getting tickets! Gas mileage is also very good even with this power. The click button to open and close the hatch is a great feature and the trunk space is sufficient for me. Seat is high off the road and the sight lines all around are very good. The advanced side view mirrors make me very comfortable in changing lanes without fear of someone being in a blind spot. The only negatives are some of the interior features. The cover box in the middle console is too far back and it is awkward and puts strain on the arm and shoulder when reaching. The steering wheel, including the cruise control and dashboard controls require taking the eyes away from the road which can be dangerous. The cruise control is tricky and sometimes I need to hit the sequence two or three times to activate it.

Kim Carmean is one step closer to understanding the legacy of his father and the men who served alongside him in World War II.
HURLBURT FIELD � Kim Carmean is one step closer to understanding the legacy of his father and the men who served alongside him in World War II.
Carmean, of West Virginia, arrived at Hurlburt Field early Friday afternoon with his wife to finally see the C-47 his father flew in over Normandy on D-Day.
View a photo gallery of Carmean viewing the plane >>
�This has just been so long-coming,� Kay Carmean said as she watched her husband approach the plane for the first time. �(Kim) has just dedicated years to this.�
The couple�s journey to the aircraft was propelled by a driving need to learn more about Tech. Sgt. Cletis C. Carmean�s role in the war so his sacrifices and valor would never be forgotten.
�He very rarely talked about the war,� Kim said of his father. �He would maybe joke about it a little.�
When he was younger, Kim said he never thought to press the issue, and so the stories his father surely had remained untold.
Cletis passed away in 2005, but Kim�s desire to learn more about his time with the 316th Troop Carrier Group didn�t fade, so he decided to get on the Internet and see if it would offer any clues.
What he found was a treasure trove of information that eventually led him to two of the men who had flown on the C-47 with his father.
The key to unlocking the past came from a booked called �Valor without Arms,� which outlined the history of the 316th Trooper Carrier Group and included references to a 21-year-old crew chief named Cletis Carmean.
Through a series of emails, conversations and meetings, Kim discovered that the author, Michael Ingrisano, knew his father and had photos of him the family never knew existed.
He also learned that his father�s aircraft was at Hurlburt Field.
This particular aircraft was dedicated at the base�s airpark June 9, 1973, but it was mislabeled for decades until Ingrisano and its former pilot, Bill Prindible, pointed out the error, according to Herb Mason, a historian with the Air Force Special Operations Command.
As it turned out, officials had gotten the type of aircraft right but assigned an incorrect tail number to it, Mason said.
The error was corrected only about two years ago after Ingrisano and Prindible were granted nearly unprecedented access to the aircraft and showed officials that the serial number inside the plane didn�t match its tail number, Mason said.
Kim said he was grateful for the insight that the two men had provided, and finally decided it was time to try to visit his father�s plane this holiday season.
He reached out to Hurlburt officials to see if it would be possible, and took the long journey south after getting the green light from the base.
His emotions stayed in check right up until he approached the aircraft.
�I�m definitely feeling it,� Kim said as he held his hand over his heart as he stood beside the plane. �Today�s much different.�
Kay wiped away tears as she shot video of her husband walking around it.
�It makes me cry because we just cannot forget the past,� she said. �We have to learn what these guys gave up.�

The Jonas Brothers are confirming (once again) that the band is officially broken up.
Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas took to their official Facebook page early Friday morning to say farewell to their fans after their recent split over creative differences concerning their music.
"To Our Dear Friends and Fans Around the World," reads the goodbye message. "It is with heavy hearts that we confirm that our time as the Jonas Brothers is over. This decision has not come lightly, and we know that many of you will be disappointed. The time has come for us to move forward on individual career paths. We have been a band of brothers for 10 years and are now choosing simply to be brothers. Going forward, you can expect exciting things from each of us, and we will of course continue to support each other in all things."
PICS: Musicians performing live on stage
"We would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who has supported and inspired us through the years, and stood by us in this difficult decision," they continue. "We feel and appreciate your love. Because you waited so long for new music, we want to honor our Team Jonas fan club members by giving you our final album. This digital-only album contains four new studio recordings that would have appeared on our V album (which will now go unreleased). In addition, we're including 10 live tracks that we feel capture the energy and excitement of this past summer's tour. Details regarding delivery of this digital album to Team Jonas members will be issued shortly. We hope you enjoy this album as much as we've enjoyed performing for you over the last 10 years. It has been an amazing experience."
"You will always be the best fans in the world," the brothers end the message, signing it, "Kevin, Joe & Nick."
The farewell message has already garnered over 37,000 Facebook likes and 8,379 comments from saddened fans. The band's breakup comes after they cancelled their tour earlier this month due to problems within the band.

When Mars is close, it appears to move backwards from night to night! Find out why.
Close is a relative term. At its closest, Mars is still tens of millions of miles away from Earth. Still, the decreased distance during "closest approach" allows for fuel-conserving flights to Mars every 26 months and a good view of Mars once or twice every 15 to 17 years for Earth-bound sky watchers.

PEOPLE will be able to share their family's First World War history when a Europe-wide project comes to Oxfordshire.
Historians are seeking items from the 1914-18 Great War to share via the internet.
Roadshows are being held across Europe to collect and digitise items for the Europeana "digital museum" project.
Oxfordshire's event will be held at Banbury Museum in Castle Quay shopping centre on Saturday, November 3, from 10am to 4.30pm.
Items being sought include photographs, letters, diaries, film or audio recordings along with family stories.
They will be photographed or scanned and uploaded to the Europeana website on the day.
Experts from the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum, the Western Front Association and Oxford Museum Services will help visitors.
The project is being run in conjunction with Oxford University, The British Library and Government-funded digital education group JISC.
Europeana executive director Jill Cousins said: "Memorabilia and stories are kept by families.
"They are hidden archives containing very personal stories of great historical significance.
"That's why our online archive, which is collecting material from across Europe in a series of roadshows, is so important.
"We want to encourage people to create their collective memory of a war that affected the everyday lives of virtually all Europeans, no matter which side they were on."
Royal British Legion Oxfordshire chairman Jim Lewendon said: "It is a good idea. There is a lot of history, a lot of chaps served and never talked about it. Most were discharged and had to get on with their lives."
Director of Oxford University IT services Dr Stuart Lee added: "The European project has successfully unearthed hidden treasures held by members of the public that add to our knowledge of the war."
Stephen Barker, learning and participation manager at the Woodstock soldiers' museum, said: "Their objects will tell us about a time passing from living memory, the story of the lives of Oxfordshire men, women and children in wartime."
The project is also due to visit North Oxfordshire Academy, Banbury, next Friday to involve students in discovering their family's wartime past.
Mr Barker will speak to pupils alongside representatives from the Western Front Association, Oxford University and the Army Cadets.

Peyton Manning Would Agree
30 May
I thought today's blog post could focus on something that really means something to me … handwritten thank you letters. Of course, that would seem almost absurd for me not to say that considering that I work for The Stationery Studio. However, it is true. I love sending and receiving handwritten thank you letters and notes. It seems that four-time NFL MVP Peyton Manning feels the same way I do.
I came across an article yesterday in the Los Angeles Times about Bronco's Quarterback Peyton Manning and how he has, throughout his career, been sending handwritten thank you letters and notes to other players. He even went on to say that while he was being recruited to play in college, the first thing he looked for was handwritten notes versus form letters and how that impacted his decision. That's pretty powerful.
I admire Peyton Manning for discussing his love for handwritten letters and thank you notes as most people probably wouldn't think of a football player taking pen to paper unless it involved a contract. Manning credited his mother for instilling the importance of handwritten gratitude. That's an important lesson for children (and adults) to remember when taking a moment to thank someone.
I have to admit that I really don't know much about Peyton Manning, but it impressed me immensely that an all star NFL player respects the art of a handwritten letter.

By Marcus Thompson II, CONTRA COSTA TIMES
The Warriors were one pingpong ball from nailing the four-digit combination that secured the top pick in the NBA draft. The Los Angeles Lakers were one pingpong ball from moving up to the third pick, which means the Warriors were one ball from dropping one spot to 10th, according to a Warriors representative at the drawing in Secaucus, N.J.
But when the 21st NBA draft lottery was done Tuesday and the lottery picks revealed, the Warriors were still at No. 9. And they're OK with that.
"I guess (Baron Davis) didn't have that lucky penny," said Warriors general manager Rod Higgins, who represented the Washington Wizards when they landed the top pick in 2001. "It's hard to move up. Now our work obviously, as it has been from the start, is cut out for us to find a player. And there will be a player there for us at nine, as well as at 40 and 42."
Davis, the Warriors point guard, represented the team at the lottery in Secaucus, N.J.
Only two teams moved up. The Portland Trail Blazers went from No. 5 to No. 3. But the biggest jump belonged to the Milwaukee Bucks, who leap-frogged five teams to win the No. 1 pick despite having the sixth-best chance.
The Bucks haven't won the lottery since 1994 when they took Glenn Robinson out of Purdue. The good luck figures to help Milwaukee re-sign one of free agency's prized players in shooting guard Michael Redd, who reportedly has told the Bucks he wants to return but only if they can contend.
"I don't know if I'll sleep tonight," Milwaukee general manager Larry Harris, who was armed with a fishing lure and a bracelet sent by Bucks fans for luck, told the Associated Press. "Being a math major, with a 6.3 percent chance to win, I didn't think we had much of a chance at it.
"I told (Redd) we would do whatever we can. Phase one is done. So now we have to make sure we make the right decision."
The New Orleans Hornets, Charlotte Bobcats and Utah Jazz all dropped two slots. The Hornets fell to No. 4, the Bobcats to No. 5 and the Jazz to No. 6. There was no movement between picks No. 7 and 14.
The Atlanta Hawks, who at 25 percent had the best chance for the top pick, dropped to No. 2.
The Warriors remained stagnant for the third consecutive year and have not moved up in any of their past nine draft lotteries. But they have some options at No. 9.
Because they have some attractive trade pieces -- Mike Dunleavy, Mickael Pietrus and Zarko Cabarkapa -- they still may be in play for Utah center Andrew Bogut, North Carolina forward Marvin Williams or Wake Forest point guard Chris Paul -- considered the best three players in the draft.
"It certainly opens up opportunities with other teams that would like to get the first pick," Harris said. "I don't want to come out and say that the Milwaukee Bucks are trading the pick, but it certainly creates a lot of buzz for the Milwaukee Bucks. We are in position now where we control the draft."
Without making a trade, the Warriors figure to have a wealth of talent to choose from at their draft position -- not to mention their two second-round picks. They are in position to improve a team that is expected to make a playoff run next season.
Even though Davis didn't have a lucky penny.
Warriors say they're fine at No. 9

Coat of Arms
The three tiered coronet represents civic government. It is charged with Guernsey Lilies (Nerine Sarniensis) which is the national flower of the Isle of Guernsey from which the City of Sarnia derives its name.
The national colours of red and white are represented. The ship in the upper left hand corner depicts the historical significance of shipping to Sarnia as well as the current traffic and recreational boating for which Sarnia is well known. The golden sprig of broom is a component taken from the crest of the former Town of Clearwater and recognizes the rural area which remains an important part of the new city. The blue line represents the St Clair River while the black and white tip at the bottom of the crest, represents the railway line through Sarnia and the St Clair Railway Tunnel which joins Sarnia with Port Huron, Michigan.

|Understand your MSDS with the MS-Demystifier

|Engineering Controls
When substitution of hazardous chemicals or processes is simply not possible, additional measures to control employee exposure need to be taken.
While personal protective equipment (PPE) such as respirators can help protect an individual from a hazardous material, engineering controls protect all workers by reducing or eliminating the hazard. For example, someone who is spray-painting can wear a respirator to avoid inhaling toxic fumes, but nearby workers without any respiratory protection will be exposed. Through the use of proper local exhaust ventilation everyone can be protected.
In fact, the OSHA standard on Air Contaminants, 29 CFR 1910.1000, requires the use of either engineering or administrative controls if any such controls are feasible:
Get your corrosion-resistant polyethylene acid storage cabinets from Safety Emporium.
Note: In certain circumstances, administrative controls can be successful in controlling employee exposure to contaminants; e.g., maintenance operations involving toxic substances can sometimes be performed at night in the absence of the usual production staff (but not to comply with the PEL of OSHA-regulated carcinogens).
This does not mean that engineering and other types of controls (including PPE) are mutually exclusive. Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure. Also note that the degree to which engineering controls are required depends on the particular standard. For example, 29 CFR 1910.95(b)(1) Occupational Noise Exposure, allows employers to rely on personal protective equipment (PPE) and a hearing conservation program rather than engineering and/or administrative controls if hearing protectors will effectively reduce the noise hazard to acceptable levels.
Get your PPE training handbooks, posters and videos at Safety Emporium.
OSHA considers economic feasibility to be a major issue with engineering controls. Requirements that would threaten the economic viability of an entire industry cannot be considered economically feasible under the OSH Act. OSHA may permit PPE in lieu of engineering controls (at least until engineering controls become a less significant burden for the company) when all of the following apply:
In those limited situations where there are no feasible engineering or administrative controls, full abatement can be allowed by PPE.
The preferred methods for reducing chemical exposure, in order of general effectiveness, are illustrated in this diagram:
Specifically, these steps are:
Engineering controls may receive specific mention on SDS's. For example, when a material has a low PEL, there may be a section explicitly labeled "Ventilation requirements". Specific machinery may be recommended - or perhaps specifically discouraged. For example, ductless recirculating laboratory hoods might not provide sufficient protection from certain highly toxic materials; in these cases a properly vented fume hood (perhaps outfitted with a scrubber) would be required.
Two of the most common engineering controls found on an MSDS are local exhaust and general ventilation. There are dozens of types of engineering controls.
See also: administrative controls, fume hoods, respirators, personal protective equipment (PPE), ventilation.

The University of the Pacific Athletics Department, just like the institution itself, interacts with varied audiences including current and prospective students, faculty, staff, donors, alumni, sports fans and many, many others. Implementing and branding a consistent visual identity for those constituents is an absolute necessity in today's complicated and crowded visual marketplace.
As equity in the brand builds over time - through success on the playing fields and consistent and constant application by the department - it becomes synonymous as a symbol of the department. A strong brand is an organization's most important asset. Careful quality control, graphics application and standardization is imperative,
The Pacific Athletic Department worked with Michael Osborne Design (MOD) in 1998 to create an identity system and wordmark that would capture the excitement, prestige and power of Pacific's 19 men's and women's sports teams.
The Pacific Athletic Department has graphics identity guidelines to set usage standards for its marks. As an interested fan or stakeholder in our product, we ask you to follow the guidelines established to ensure proper application and investment in this identity.

|Ashley checked out this opening last week at this Valencia St Gallery in San Francisco.
Kearny Street Workshop & Mina Dresden Gallery present - 'the lost and found' solo exhibition from Truong Tran
This table top art piece was really nice, and one of many pieces that lit up.
This piece was really neat... in the center of the wood circle there was some kind of movie footage playing.
A favorite of mine was this circle of thread or twine, love the colors.
The artist, Truong Tran above on the far left.
Lots of happy people.
Another favorite of mine was this little stacked piece.
Three little wish bones in each one of those little houses.
Really great work, and really nice guy.
Runs February 5-26th, Open by appointment.

In Microsoft Project Web App, site administrators can select several different options to control how resources enter time on their timesheets, and whose approval is required. The Timesheet Settings and Defaults page is also where you choose whether your organization uses Single Entry Mode, a feature new to Microsoft Project Server 2010 that combines task status updates with timesheets in one view.
To configure timesheet settings and defaults:
On the Quick Launch, in the Settings section, click Server Settings.
On the Server Settings page, in the Time and Task Management section, click Timesheet Settings and Defaults.
In the Project Web App Display section, select the The timesheet will use standard Overtime and Non-Billable time tracking check box to enable team members to submit overtime and non-billable time. If you do not want team members to be able to submit overtime or non-billable time, clear this check box.
In the Default Timesheet Creation Mode section, specify which data should be included in the default timesheet:
Select Current task assignments to pre-populate timesheets with information about the team members' tasks assignments.
Select Current projects to pre-populate timesheets with information about the team members' current projects.
Select No prepopulation to create blank timesheets for team members.
In the Timesheet Grid Column Units section, specify whether you want timesheet columns to represent Days or Weeks. If you select Weeks, each column in a timesheet represents 7 days, and the date in the column represents the first day of the week.
In the Default Reporting Units section, specify whether team members report time within each timesheet column in Hours or Days.
To specify how many hours make up a whole day's worth of work, type the hours in the The number of hours in a standard timesheet day is box.
To specify how many hours make up a standard work week, type the hours in the The number of hours in a standard timesheet work week is box.
In the Hourly Reporting Limits section, specify the maximum and minimum hours allowed in a timesheet and the maximum number of hours allowed to be reported in a day. If team members report time beyond these limits, errors appear on their timesheets when they submit them.
Note: You may have to put some restrictions on how time is entered based on accounting systems, customers, or internal business policies. Also, if your organization uses team resources, remember this when you set the maximum and minimum values in the Hourly Reporting Limits section.
If you do not want to set a maximum or a minimum hourly reporting limit, type 999 in the Maximum Hours per Timesheet box to represent unlimited hours, or type 0 in the Minimum Hours per Timesheet box to represent no minimum time. Typing either of these options effectively turns off reporting limits.
In the Timesheet Policies section, specify the following:
Select the Allow future time reporting check box to enable team members to record time for periods in the future.
Select the Allow new personal tasks check box to enable team members to create as many personal tasks as needed. This time is not mapped to any Project Server project or task. Personal tasks do not appear outside a team member's timesheet or task status.
Select the Allow top-level time reporting check box to enable team members to report time against summary tasks. If this check box is cleared, team members must report time against lower-level tasks, and those values roll up to the summary level.
In the Task Status Manager Approval section, click Enabled to enable project managers to coordinate or approve/reject timesheet lines on a per-line basis. If you select Enabled, you can select the Require line approval before timesheet approval check box, which specifies that each line must be approved before the whole timesheet can be approved. If you only want to approve whole timesheets (no line-by-line approval), select Disabled.
Note: If you are using Single Entry Mode, you must enable task status manager approval.
In the Auditing section, select the Enable Timesheet Auditing check box to create a detailed record of all changes that are made to a timesheet.
Tip: Click Purge Log to clear the auditing log.
In the Approval Routing section, select the Fixed Approval Routing check box to prevent team members from manually specifying the next approver when they submit their timesheet.
In the Single Entry Mode section, select the Single Entry Mode check box if you want to enable team members to report task progress, and also actual work, on their timesheets.
Click Save.

We are ten months into our fabric moratorium BUT anyone can join at any time :) The official end of the moratorium is 1 November 2011. Just 1 month left.
Heres a quick summary of the guidelines/rules:
no fabric purchases to start a new quilt top (till 1 November 2011)
Allowed purchases include any item required to finish an existing project (either WIP or UFO), including but not limited to:
backing or binding fabric
fabric (if nothing in your stash will work)
thread or notions
fabric purchased on a plan prior to 1 December 2010 (e.g. block of the month)
So why are we doing this the reasons are as varied as there are people involved. Some of those reasons include:
focus on finishing WIPs
financial constraints
Want to bend the guidelines/rules a little? Sure go for it. Some have chosen to:
commit for a shorter period of time
buy fabric if a really good sale comes along
setting a budget for how much they will spend each month
use 1 fabric from their stash each month
purchase new fabric for volunteer projects
Threads that are related to this are:
Original thread: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-79756-1.htm

Residents say Barrett Elementary Center is the heart of Barrett Township, but that heart could stop beating if a school consolidation plan goes through.
Residents say Barrett Elementary Center is the heart of Barrett Township, but that heart could stop beating if a school consolidation plan goes through.
Pocono Mountain School District has proposed closing two elementary centers — Barrett and Pocono — and residents of Barrett Township showed up by the dozens Monday to protest any possible closing.
"Our kids are going to lose opportunities they may only have at Barrett," said Susan Price of Paradise Township, a mother of three, who added that a bigger school with more students would crowd the available opportunities like a school play. "Clearly, there are more opportunities at smaller schools."
The current proposal is to close Pocono and Barrett elementary centers, both of which house kindergarten through sixth-grade students.
Students from those two schools would be moved to the Swiftwater campus.
The district would reopen Swiftwater Intermediate School, which was closed at the end of last year. Kindergarten through third-grade students would be housed at Swiftwater Elementary Center, and fourth- through sixth-grade students would be housed at Swiftwater Intermediate.
The changes would take effect for the start of the 2013-14 school year.
About 150 people attended Monday's hearing for input on the proposal.
No decision can be made on the plan until late May. Residents can submit written comments on the plan to the district for the next 30 days.
The district has not yet released specifics on what the cost savings would be or how many employees could lose their jobs as a result of the consolidation.
The district's current budget already includes 15 teacher layoffs.
District Superintendent Elizabeth Robison said the projections — including staffing ramifications — haven't been calculated yet and she said it likely will be late April before they are available.
"It isn't until March that we even look at transportation," she said.
Opponents of the consolidation pointed to that lack of detail as a reason to back off the plan. Residents also said that any savings could be at least somewhat negated by increased transportation costs of busing students longer distances.
And while closing the schools would appear to keep the district from spending more than $8 million on necessary capital improvement projects, that money would need to be invested in the buildings to keep them viable.
One of the budgetary advantages of closing the schools, according to the district, is the possible future sale or lease of the closed buildings. The district already has three schools on the real estate market.
"That money is going to be needed to be spent on those buildings to make them buyable," said Steve Mazza of Paradise Township.
Ralph G. Megliola, chairman of the Barrett Township Board of Supervisors, said his board has been anticipating the closing of the local school, and it would harm real estate values in the township.
He also said there has been talk about turning the school into a charter school if Barrett Elementary closes.
He said he would hope the district would keep communication lines open if that does become an option. He also said the township does not want to see the building sit empty.
"The town is built around the school," he said. "It would hurt the entire town."

Atlanta: Local Republic Brings Legit Burger Goodness to Lawrenceville
Burger reviews in the Atlanta area.
Local Republic
225 West Crogan Street, Lawrenceville GA 30046 (map); 678-205-4782; thelocalrepublic.com
Cooking Method: Flat top
Short Order: Newish gastropub offers eight well-constructed burgers in a cool atmosphere
Want Fries with That? No fries, and the cheffy-sounding sides didn't impress. Stick with chips.
Mstrong>Price: Republic, $8; The Bruiser, $11; The Sink, $13
Are there certain words that just jump up and down on your very last nerve? Moist is one for me. Chitchat, another. Boobs. Jamboree. (Thankfully, you just don't hear that last one very often unless you're a camp counselor.) The latest eye-roller on my list, though, is gastropub. I think Kenji hit the nail on the head with his addendum to our AHT burger taxonomy, recommending the inclusion of the gastropub burger as its own unique-albeit-tricky-to-pin-down genre, but I still cringe when I hear the word.
To me, it's an overly pretentious way of saying "a hip bar that also pays genuine attention to its food." (Although that's admittedly a bit clumsy to whip out in casual conversation.) Odd, really, since the word generally describes a place that tries to otherwise downplay any perceived pretentiousness.
My own terminology issues aside, gastropub is how Local Republic classifies itself. And seeing as how downtown Lawrenceville isn't exactly a five-star foodie destination, I get why the management may feel the need to stress that they're serious about what they do. After sampling a few offerings from their burger menu, they can call themselves whatever they want. I'm here to tell you that Local Republic is way serious about burgers...and I've got no beef with that.
The space looks to be one of those old-corner-service-stations-turned-restaurants that are seemingly everywhere now. The interior is small and noisy, but with its eclectic vibe, tons of local art on display, and a functional garage door leading to an outdoor patio that's reportedly soon to double in size, Local Republic is a thoroughly comfortable spot to hang out and work your way down the craft beer list.
Or the burger list. There are currently eight, ranging from the bare-bones Republic to the Mr. Jones (pimento cheese, jalapeños, bacon) to the Dirty Sancho (beef tinged with chorizo spices, onion, avocado, pico de gallo, jalapeños) to the fireball stunt burger called the Patrick Swayze (topped with Ghost pepper salsa...get it?). And then there's this deceptively simple-looking bit of badassery. (Yes, I'll bitch about words I don't like...and then make up my own. Deal.)
That's the Bruiser ($11). The kitchen starts with its standard eight ounces of regionally-produced Brasstown Beef and dusts it with Cajun seasonings. It's cooked to order on a flattop until blackened on the outside, and then topped with bacon strips and a huge disc of Stilton cheese.
Lots of joints will top a burger with blue, but going the extra mile for true English Stilton speaks to LR's commitment to their gastropub billing. I found it not to be overpowering at all—surprising, given how much of it there was—and, in fact, quite complementary and proportionate to the thick and chewy-yet-crisp bacon, the soft and sturdy wheat bun, and the hefty amount of rosy-hued beef.
That's the cross-section of the Republic ($8), but it's representative of how every burger I tried was cooked. Clearly, the griddleman at Local Republic knows what he's doing, as all three burgers displayed excellent char while maintaining a pink, juicy (fine, use moist if you want) interior. My only knock on the Bruiser was that I didn't taste any of those Cajun spices; maybe the Stilton just KO'd them with its rich creaminess. But I'd definitely get in the ring with this burger again.
I'm on an egg kick as of late, so I couldn't stay away from The Sink ($13), topped with cheddar, bacon, jalapeños, a sunny-side-up egg, and "whatever the kitchen wants to throw on." I was slightly worried that things were going to get weird (or that the kitchen would decide that I looked like a chump in need of a Roadhouse-caliber beatdown from the Patrick Swayze*), but what I got was an agreeable add-on of pickles, goat cheese, and housemade jicama slaw. (Jicama slaw?!? A step up from bar grub, indeed.) It worked beautifully, with just enough crunch and tang to balance out the silky yolk, mild heat, and meaty foundation.
* Our server Richard explained that the kitchen never gets too crazy with the improvisations; they save that for unsuspecting employees. Starting one dayshift still hurting from the night before, he was offered some pizza that the owner had whipped up for the staff. Note to Slice'rs: ghost chile pepper salsa as a pie sauce is NOT a good idea.
If anything left me underwhelmed at Local Republic, it was the sides. Fries are not an option, and while the alternative offerings sounded plenty tasty, the pimento cheese grits and bacon mac and cheese that showed up at my table were subtle to the point of being bland and totally lackluster. Neither was worth the $1.50 upcharge in my book. Best side of the night? A bag of Zapp's chips. (Mmm, Cajun Crawtaters.)
I'd definitely revisit Local Republic, even if I weren't in a burger mood. From a jerk chicken breast with root beer reduction to a serious-looking pork chop and even shrimp and grits, they're working hard to live up to that gastropub tag. "A hip bar that pays extra attention to their food?" I'll vouch for that. Vouch. There's another word I don't care for...

Tony Parker refused to consider it, though it can't be ruled out.
Those last, agonizing moments of the NBA Finals may have been the last we see of these San Antonio Spurs.
Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Parker have been together for more than a decade, through more than 100 postseason victories. They are proud winners who have endured some crushing defeats, but nothing ever hurt like this NBA championship that got away.
"It's tough to come so close," Parker said. "Those last two games are tough, especially Game 6."
San Antonio officially lost its chance for a fifth NBA title with its 95-88 loss to the Miami Heat in Game 7 on Thursday night. But the Game 6 defeat, when the Spurs couldn't hold a five-point lead in the final half-minute of regulation, is the one they might lament far longer.
The Spurs have always gotten back up when knocked down, even when it was done in such a tough manner.
When Derek Fisher's stunning shot with 0.4 seconds left helped send the Los Angeles Lakers past the Spurs in the second round of the 2004 playoffs, San Antonio came back and won the title the next year.
When the Dallas Mavericks ousted them with a Game 7 overtime victory in San Antonio in the 2006 playoffs, the Spurs came back and won the title the next year.
Coming back from this one might be far tougher.
Duncan is 37, still near the very top of the list of NBA big men, but approaching the final steps of a path that will end up in the Hall of Fame. Ginobili will be a 36-year-old free agent next month, and his game shows signs of a drop-off, his body no longer always able to execute some of those daring plays his mind thinks up.
It's been a heartbreaking year on the court for Ginobili, starting when the Spurs blew a 2-0 lead against Oklahoma City in the 2012 Western Conference finals. Argentina then missed a chance for another Olympic medal when it was edged by Russia in the third-place game in London, and now this.
So he wasn't able to consider his future in the moments after Game 7, saying it wasn't the time.
"At this point, it's very hard because we are all sad and disappointed, but as I said before, when there's such a fine line and we were so close of winning it, I mean, everything can be like failure or success just because of a shot," Ginobili said. "You understand what I'm saying? So I am trying to put things in perspective, but it's very hard. And the next few days are going to be very hard."
Parker is only 31, but like Ginobili has played so many games in the NBA and with his national team that it's not surprising his body betrays him. This time it happened at the worst time: a hamstring strain in the finals.
Coach Gregg Popovich said he'll be back, but as always the focus will be on the Spurs' Big Three. Duncan, Parker and Ginobili led a memorable run this season, long after they could still be expected to do it – and perhaps for the last time.
"That's character," Popovich said. "We've got a bunch of guys who aren't going to give in, who keep playing with each other, for each other, and really feel the responsibility to each other. So I expect nothing less, and that's what I got."
The Spurs didn't feel they needed to change last year, even after the Thunder vaulted past them to the top of the West, believing another year of growth for Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green was the improvement they needed, and they may decide they can bring this group back one more time.
But Russell Westbrook should be back for Oklahoma City after a knee injury in the playoffs knocked the All-Star out of the lineup for the No. 1 seed, and the West is always loaded with three or four other contenders.
Leonard appears to be a star in the making, and Green had a record-setting start to the finals before fizzling out at the finish. They could be even better all-around players next year. San Antonio has one of the league's best front offices, finding talent around the globe, so count on the Spurs finding someone who can help them out.
Popovich loses an important member of his staff with Mike Budenholzer leaving to become coach of the Atlanta Hawks.
End of Big 3?
Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili & Tony Parker
• 11 seasons together (2002-present)
• 626-260 regular-season record (.707 win percentage)
• 102-61 playoff record (.626 win percentage)
• 3 NBA titles (2003, '05, '07)
• Won at least 50 games every season; lost more than 30 just once (2009-10)
• Won 7 division titles; never finished worse than 2nd in division

The Mayan calendar ends a 5,126-year cycle on Dec. 21, 2012. That might not mean a thing. Or it could signal the end of the world. There's a lot of leeway here.
For the sake of this story, let's assume that this is it. Those know-it-all Mayans had it figured out, and humanity will reach its expiration date next Dec. 21.
What is a person to do?
You could hide under the bed, but then you'd never see how the grand finale plays out. You might go to a favorite restaurant, but if your server is having a bad day and service is slow, you could be stuck fiddling with breadsticks and waiting for your last meal when the end comes.
A better idea: Take a vacation. A dream...

Sioux Falls Man Arrested for July Robbery Attempt
Police have made an arrest in the attempted robbery of a gas station and convenience store in late July.
On Sunday, July 27th at 4:18am, a man tried to rob the Freedom Value Center at 2601 West 12th Street, even striking the clerk with a handgun, but he got away without getting any money.
Now, Police Information Officer Sam Clemens says based on the description of the suspect and surveillance video, a man was arrested Monday night.
Clemens says investigators received four tips, from police and the public, and he says those tips helped officers locate the suspect's coat and also his weapon, which turned out to be a BB-gun.
He says 25-year-old Thomas Troy Anderson of Sioux Falls was arrested Monday night by the Warrant Task Force and charged with first-degree robbery, attempted grand theft and three counts of simple assault.

This week marks the official start of the fall TV season. Some series have already gotten off to a start, including Fox's comedy "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and NBC's thriller "Blacklist" (with the official trailer above). There are almost too many new shows to keep track of — which is where Times TV critics Mary McNamara and Robert Lloyd can help.
In the conversation below, the pair discuss their new favorites — and, not surprisingly, uncover a few duds along the way.
Mary McNamara: Robert, it's that time of year. The fall pilots are in bloom again (insert Katharine Hepburn accent here), such a peculiar flower. Though not such a dazzling display this year I must admit. Still, there's plenty to like. I'm already on record having fallen for "Sleepy Hollow" (Fox), so please don't tell me you hate it, and I agree that "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" (Fox) is the most promising comedy, though the main character's annoyance factor threatens to go from yellow straight to red. "Blacklist" (NBC) is hands-down my favorite of the new American dramas. It may not be the most original idea on record — "Silence of the Lambs" mercifully minus the cannibalism — but watching James Spader, um, chew up a role remains one of the great pleasures in life. Have no idea what to say about the political thriller "Hostages" (CBS), though. It seems more than mildly absurd, and not in a "Scandal"-icious way. Also, I have never understood the appeal of Dylan McDermott (though I do find it hilarious that Dermott Mulroney, with whom McDermott is often confused) is coming to NBC mid-season in the political thriller "Crisis." How will we tell them apart?
FALL TV 2013: Watch the trailers
Robert Lloyd: Having encapsulated the entirety of the fall season show by show for the Times Fall Preview, it is (paradoxically) all something of a blur. [Rifles through notes.] Among the broadcast-network series, although most of what's new is no worse than professional, little I've seen seems (at this new-colt stage) likely to create the kind of conversation that surrounds a show like "The Good Wife" or "30 Rock"— NBC's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," maybe, but more because it's part of the ongoing saga of creator Joss Whedon than because it brings something especially new to TV. I don't hate "Sleepy Hollow" (I actively like Nicole Beharie, who plays the cop-partner of a character who has nothing to do with Washington Irving's Ichabod Crane), though I doubt I'll follow it closely; "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" is indeed good and also righteous in the balance of its casting and (romantic interests notwithstanding) absent the adolescent sex jokes that make a minefield out of many potential family comedies. (By Fox standards, it is chaste.) On the other hand, there is its spiritual inverse, "Dads" (also on Fox).
Mary: Agree re: Nicole Beharie, who is absolutely the find of the season. (Not that she was exactly hidden, starring in movies as she has, but you know what I mean.) There seems to be a slow-grow attitude at play here, especially among the comedies, which may not be a bad thing in terms of quality but is always worrisome in terms of ratings/fear of cancellation. "The Michael J. Fox Show" (NBC) is appealing in many ways, though the sum of its parts does not add up to a whole, and I can't wait to see Robin Williams meets Sarah Michelle Gellar in "The Crazy Ones" (CBS). I am still trying to figure out how far my hackles are truly raised by "Trophy Wife" (ABC). Bradley Whitford and Marcia Gay Harden grant it a certain benefit-of-the-doubt factor but the title is just plain sexist (they know that right? The female creators?), as is the conceit. A young and lovely woman must navigate the perilous waters of new step-motherhood complicated by two very flawed ex-wives (one a basilisk surgeon, the other a dippy granola cruncher) while Whitford's husband looks on, vaguely amused. Except, of course, he's the common denominator of these failed marriages so why does he get to be the quiet center? I mean, it's not as initially infuriating as "Cougar Town," which became a pretty good show, so maybe I'm over-reacting. Also, I know we are all but legally required to surrender to Showtime's "Masters of Sex" (Michael Sheen! Lots of cool period clothes and science-creepy sex!) but an episode and a half in, I feel a headache coming on. As for "Dads," I keep feeling that if we all stop talking about it, it will just quietly slink away.
Robert: I am quite fond of the new Michael Fox show; I like its modesty, and I like him. It takes a heap of living to make a house a home, the saying goes, and any family comedy needs time to persuade us that these people have lived together for years before we met. (There are so many this year, and so many that feel picked before they're ripe.) "The Crazy Ones" makes me a little edgy — I have a low tolerance for Robin Williams Unbound. (As stars of TV past go, I am hoping, perhaps foolishly, for something good out of "Kirstie," the Kirstie Alley series scheduled for December on TV Land.) The title of "Trophy Wife" I take to be ironic, just as Malin Åkerman's character is meant to be more substantial than her stereotype. I sense a certain kinship with "Bunheads," in that regard, though I don't expect it to bear quite such tasty fruit. But I like Michaela Watkins as the hippie ex-wife a lot, and Natalie Morales, who plays Åkerman's best friend, has been a favorite of mine since "The Middle Man." (You and I are going to have to have a talk, ABC Family Channel.) I'm also happy to see Mary McCormack back, in "Welcome to the Family" (NBC); the premise is stock, but the script isn't stupid. Some other shows (I could mean "We Are Men," or "The Millers," both on CBS) fill me with dread. Then there's Rebel Wilson's "Super Fun Night" (ABC), somewhat in the Mindy-Zooey mode (with a dash of "Ugly Betty") and the only new show, I think, to carry a flag for the single girl. It has its points. Possibly the show I'm most looking forward to is "MasterChef Junior" (Fox). I am not merely being provocative in saying that.
Mary: You're just saying that because "MasterChef Junior" sent out that cool cupcake kit (but, strangely, no screener). I was very, VERY disappointed in "Super Fun Night," and not just because Rebel was forced to lose her Australian accent. It felt to me like the mirror image of "We Are Men," in both the "loser characteristics" of each gender are over-inflated and then made to seem somehow endearing. Agree re: "Welcome to the Family"; I share your overwhelming passion for McCormack, but she is always a welcome presence. I'm jazzed about "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland" (ABC); though I haven't seen the whole pilot, it looks gorgeous in a fairy-tale-emo sort of way, a la Tim Burton. I feel quite mixed about "Almost Human" (Fox), which seems to be getting a lot of buzz — the whole can-androids-be-trusted feels very old to me. Admit to liking the pilot for the "Vampire Diaries" spin-off "The Originals," though that could change. I cannot bring myself to discuss NBC's "Dracula" or "Ironsides," both of which are terrible for roughly the same reason (if you're going to remake a classic, you darn well better do it right). And shall we talk about "Reign" (CW)? As a parent, I am always drawn to shows that might encourage my children to explore historical eras they might otherwise relegate to "school = boring" (which explains my otherwise inexplicable soft spot for "DaVinci's Demons"), but I can't decide whether this utter absurdity of a show is good camp or bad camp. Only time will tell, I suppose.
FULL COVERAGE: Fall TV preview 2013
Meanwhile, I would like to issue an across-the-board ban on masturbation scenes (there's one in "Reign"). I am sure there are instances in which it is narratively necessary to show a character masturbating, but I haven't seen one yet.
Robert: "Dracula" is just weird enough to make me not automatically hate it; it has so little to do with the original it can be hardly called a remake. (It's more like a steampunk graphic-novel-style takeoff.) As much can be said of "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland," I suppose, which is even weirder and has even less to do with the original, though I do prefer my "Alice" straight. The "Ironside" remake, which also has little to do with the original, does seem pointless to me, unless the point is that there are no restrictions to life in a wheelchair. (Which is a good point, but not a dramatically useful one.) Two big-fall biopics seem worth a look to me, as much as I tend to dislike the form: BBC America's "Burton and Taylor," for the casting (Dominic West, Helena Bonham Carter) and because it focuses on a single moment in their lives, and Lifetime's "House of Versace," because I expect (from the briefest preview) that Gina Gershon and Raquel Welch will take it right over the top. I haven't seen "Reign" yet (because 8 million shows), but as an old drum-beater for better self-policing of the public airwaves, I do sympathize with your weariness over its colonization by masturbation scenes, sex jokes and genital references -- that's what cable is for. (See: Stephen Merchant's "Hello Ladies," on HBO.) And the Internet. And home video. And Google Glass, probably.
If overall it feels like a less than challenging fall — sometimes I think they hold the weirder, more interesting shows for winter or spring — it may just be that there are a lot of family sitcoms and only slightly unusual procedurals about. I have given up on guessing what series will gain traction. ("Person of Interest" season three is not a thing I could have predicted.) I wish all new shows enough time to become real, like a Velveteen Rabbit. Meanwhile, there is already too much to watch on television.
