Everything New Under the Bun
Oozing melted cheese, the crunch of a fresh pickle, and perfectly charred patties inside a house-made roll—all the reasons the burger is king in Boston right now.
Edited by Jenna Pelletier, with additional reporting by Liz Bomze, Spencer Buell, and Courtney Hollands
Bao Wow
It's not much larger than a slider, yet the Shojonator packs more flavor into its petite package than many burgers twice the size. Spice, smoke, and umami—from ingredients including a Velveeta-like "kimcheese," smoked hoisin barbecue sauce, sriracha aioli, and grilled Applewood bacon—mingle together gloriously between the beef and halves of a fluffy house-made bao bun. Think it sounds like too much? Rest assured that it's actually just right. In fact, you'll probably want two. 9A Tyler St., Boston, 617-423- 7888, shojoboston.com.
Surf and Turf
Good news for fans of the hard-to-procure "secret" burger at Alden & Harlow: Its cousin at chef Michael Scelfo's newer, seafoodfocused spot is always on the menu and, dare we say, even more delicious. Dripping down the sides of the stacked Creekstone patties you'll find tonnato, that mayonnaisey Italian condiment that hints at the briny, savory side of tuna and anchovies. The sandwich is brought to the next level with cheddar schmear flecked with Benton's bacon; crisp slaw; and an unusual but delicious celery-seed bun. It's served alongside a heap of salty, deeply golden fries that are worth seeking out on their own. 1030 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, 617-864-2300, waypointharvard.com.
Double Take
Bar Mezzana
Next time you're heading to this sleek Italian seafood spot, you may want to stop right at the bar. That's where chef/co-owner Colin Lynch serves his double cheeseburger, which reads like an ichthyophobe's safety net but is executed with as much precision as his off-the-hook crudo program. Simply put: This is one of the best burgers in Boston, packaged up with classic, thoughtful fixings— crispy onions, gooey Taleggio and American cheeses, shredded iceberg, pickle chips strategically anchored under the beef—and a soft griddled bun that soaks it all in. 360 Harrison Ave., Boston, 617-530-1770, barmezzana.com.
My favorite is the classic burger with grass-fed beef, American cheese, bacon, and chipotle-lime aioli from Bred, in Lower Mills. I like the friendly and fast service that the shop provides.

Simple Stunner
Back Bay Social
When you're using beef this good, it's a sin to cover it up with gobs of toppings. Modestly adorned with a thin layer of caramelized onions and a slice of aged Vermont cheddar, the burger at this beloved Back Bay haunt is all about the pedigreed meat: namely, Pat LaFrieda's buttery blend of grass-fed Angus, dry-aged rib-eye, and short rib. Maybe that's why the restaurant hasn't taken it off the menu since it opened eight years ago. 876 Boylston St., Boston, 617-247-3200, backbaysocialclub.com.

Bring a Bib
R.F. O'Sullivan & Son
To fully experience this laid-back Somerville institution, you simply have to get a little messy. The dozens of burger options on the menu—from the Paddy-O-Melt with sautéed onions and cheddar to the blackpepper- crusted Black & Blue—may have different fixings, but they always have one thing in common: the same thick-as-can be, succulent yet expertly charred sirloin patty. Don't worry—we won't tell anyone you have meat drippings on your chin. 282 Beacon St., Somerville, 617-491-9638, rfosullivans.com.
Late-Night Fix
Roxy's Grilled Cheese
It's almost midnight and you've got a hankering for something savory. Will it be a burger, grilled cheese—or both? Slathered with fiery housemade pimiento cheese, the Justin's Burger from this queso-focused quick-service spot offers the best of both worlds, with an extra kick from creamy chipotle mayo and Grillo's pickles. For the avo-obsessed, the equally perfect Muenster features a grass-fed chuck patty adorned with a big scoop of house-made guacamole. 292 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, 617-945-7244; 485 Cambridge St., Allston, 617- 202-5864; roxysgrilledcheese.com.
A Better Bar Burger
Bring up the burger at Barbara Lynch's craftcocktail den, and your bartender's eyes may light up in the same way they would if you'd ordered a rare scotch. Buttery, juicy, and rich as can be, the luxed-up spin on a Big Mac— featuring a perfectly grilled Colorado Wagyu patty (make that a double) and melted American cheese—pairs beautifully with a couple of Old Fashioneds. Add an order of the bar's thick-cut fries with malt-vinegar aioli to make this the happiest of happy meals. 348 Congress St., Boston, 617-695-1806, drinkfortpoint.com.
Les Sablons closed on August 2.
Les Sablons
Oooh la la: Here we have classic Parisian flair, in burger form. Available only on Sundays at this Harvard Square restaurant, the LS Brunch Burger piles on the luxury with a generous cut of nutty, stretchy Comté cheese, soft and buttery caramelized onions, and slightly crisp brioche, all crowned by a fresh, runny egg. In other words, it's bistro cuisine on a bun, and absolutely worth getting out of bed early on a weekend for. 2 Bennett St., Cambridge, 617-268-6800, lscambridge.com.
The High-Low Masterpiece
Little Donkey
Leave it to the Ken Oringer–Jamie Bissonnette team to play fast and loose with the fast-food-burger formula and deliver a brilliant, ordinary-be-damned mash-up of haute cuisine and guilty pleasure. On the one hand, you have dry-aged beef gilded with foie gras; on the other, Buffalo-sauced pickles, yellow American, and fried jalapeño "chips"—not to mention Lipton onion-soup-mix mayo. The ultimate guilty pleasure, indeed. 505 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, 617-945- 1008, littledonkeybos.com.
The Wagyu burger at The Marshside in Dennis is my favorite burger. It is amazing beef, cooked to perfection with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and Boar's Head bacon, all wrapped beautifully in a pretzel-roll bun. Just a handful of onion rings are the perfect complement.

Hot Mess
JM Curley
When your server at this Downtown Crossing eatery asks if you want the only burger on the menu "Filthy Andy–style," just say yes. You'll be rewarded with a cheddar-topped 5-ounce patty, pickles, griddled onions, and house-made Russian dressing served open-face on a seeded bun and absolutely smothered with zingy coleslaw and fries. Smoosh it all together for a sloppy symphony of sorts, with rich, salty notes from the perfectly seasoned beef and sweet heat from the mustard seeds and chipotle mayonnaise in the Louisiana-style slaw—extra points for the bun, which stays intact till the last glorious bite. For the animals among us, the filthier "Cody Style" variation adds a second patty, fried egg, and bacon (#savage). 21 Temple Place, Boston, 617-338-5333, jmcurleyboston.com.
Everything but the Kitchen Sink
Boston Burger Company
Until the munchies-inspired 420 Burger, we never knew we could hanker for a burger piled high with mozzarella sticks, fried mac 'n' cheese, onion rings, fries, and bacon. But such is the magic of Boston Burger Company: Its signature vinegar-tart dressing deftly cuts through the salty fat of the fried toppings, allowing the smoky, juicy beef to shine as it should. Balance is key, and even with all the extras this counter-service stalwart heaps onto its patties, it always sticks the landing on the right side of the line that divides craveable burgers from made-for-Instagram gimmicks. 37 Davis Sq., Somerville, 617-440- 7361; and other locations; facebook.com/bostonburgercompany.
The Hangover Cure
Not for the faint of heart, Wheelhouse's gloriously greasy Breakfast Burger piles everything you love about the morning meal— right down to the coffee grounds—into a bun. Chef Jon Chase dusts earthy dark roast and a garlicky-sweet spice rub onto the sandwich's two Kinnealey Meats chuck patties, then throws bacon, American cheese, and a gooey fried egg on top for the ultimate indulgence any time of day. Warning: may be nap-inducing. 63 Broad St., Boston, 617-422- 0082, wheelhouseboston.com.
Bukowski Tavern probably has the number one burger in town. That being said, I absolutely love the burger at Row 34. I like the atmosphere there, and I love that you have the option to get a fried oyster on top. And Hojoko has a spicy tuna burger that is a must-try.

Guten Appetit!
Once available only on Mondays but since upgraded to daily menu status, the Bronburger at chef Tim Wiechmann's Germaninspired beer hall is topped with crispy pork belly and studded with bacon—and that's not even the best part. What really ties the thick patty, rich Comté cheese, and tangy kraut together is Wiechmann's unusual, yet preternaturally delicious, pretzel roll: Plush and chewy, it has just enough heft to support the decadent contents. Another twist on the tried-and-true formula? Golden home fries rather than the typical shoestrings. 255 Washington St., Somerville, 617-776-9900, browynrestaurant.com.
The Landmark
Mr. Bartley's
If it's good enough for Jackie O, Robert Plant, and Charlie Baker (just a few of the many notables who have eaten here), it's good enough for us. Hard-core culinary snobs may scoff at its touristy reputation, but this familyrun Harvard Square institution wins us over every time with its quirky atmosphere and over-the-top creations that playfully salute politicians, sports stars, and other celebs— everything from a "yuuge" Trump Tower double burger with cheddar and barbecue sauce to a Beyoncé "Hot" covered in hot sauce, jalapeños, and bacon. While the toppings change as fast as pop culture, the patty remains the same: choice chuck, ground daily and griddled on the well-seasoned flat top. 1246 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, 617-354-6559, mrbartley.com.
Taste of the Tropics
Little Big Diner
It's all rice bowls and ramen at this Newton Centre noodle den, save for a handful of bangup small plates, including its LBD Flat Patty. Here, the kitchen plays a solid game of contrast, dressing the grillcharred chuck with a hot 'n' sweet pineappleonion sambal; cool, creamy mayo; a tender leaf of Bibb lettuce; and crunchy batter-fried onion strings. And what better way to enhance this burger's tropical profile than by sandwiching the whole thing on a plush King's Hawaiian bun? 1247 Centre St., Newton Centre, 857- 404-0068, littlebigdiner.com.
My go-to is Wheelhouse's Chuck Norris burger. It'll knock you and your mate out: two patties, cheese, grilled onions, and bacon with onion jam. Best thing is, you can get it starting at 7 a.m.—I have had it for a couple of breakfasts since the end of the season.
My Perfect Patty | Aron Baynes, Celtics center
Prized Patty
Craigie on Main
It's a modern classic for a reason. Almost a decade after chef Tony Maws first put his Craigie Burger on the bar menu, local carnivores still line up to nab one of the 18 umami-packed patties produced every night. Often sold out by 6 p.m., the coveted burger is everything you want in the form: perfectly cooked local beef (a blend of brisket, short ribs, hanger steak, bone marrow, and suet for maximum flavor-fat ratio) sprinkled with miso as a flavor booster and accompanied by house-made, well, everything— from the pickles to the ketchup. 853 Main St., Cambridge, 617-497-5511, craigieonmain.com.
The People's Burger
Tasty Burger
What makes the Big Tasty a winner? The griddled patty is crisp but juicy. The salty American shingle doesn't just sit on the patty; it seeps into it like a well-seasoned condiment. The requisite veggies—lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles—are fresh and crisp. The fromscratch sauce tastes particularly "special." And the house bun is appropriately squishy. With smart sides—a combo of fries and onion rings!—killer drinks (don't miss the housebrewed raspberry-lime rickeys), and hometown charm, this local chain is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. 1301 Boylston St., Boston, 617- 425-4444; and other locations; tastyburger.com.

UPDATE: This offer has expired.
Hilton just launched their first ever business credit card where you can earn up to 100,000 Hilton Honors Bonus Points! With the Hilton Honors American Express Business Card you'll earn 75,000 Bonus Points after you spend $3,000 in purchases on your Card in the first 3 months of Card Membership, and 25,000 Bonus Points after you make another $1,000 in purchases on your Card in your first 6 months. This is a brand new product which means everyone is eligible for the new member offer (as long as you are approved and meet the minimum spend requirement!). And since this is a business card, it will not count against your Chase "5/24" card count!
Card Details:
One of the best perks of this card is that you'll earn Gold status as long as you are a cardmember. Having gold status at Hilton is actually pretty good, even though it is a mid-tier status. You'll receive complimentary breakfast, and based on availability a room upgrade and concierge floor access. Also, Gold status will give you your 5th night free on award redemption.
With this card, you'll earn also earn 12X at hotels & resorts in the Hilton portfolio, which is great for those that stay at Hilton properties often.
Now, if you are able to spend $15,000 in purchases on your card in a calendar year, you'll receive a free weekend night reward certificate. This certificate is valid at almost all Hilton properties regardless of category or price. There just needs to be a standard room available and it has to be on a weekend. You can also earn this certificate every single year – it is not just a one time offer.
You'll also receive Priority Pass™ Select Membership which will give you 10 free airport lounge certificates.
What are 100,000 Hilton Points Worth?
Last year Hilton introduced an entirely new program. Instead of "Hilton HHonors", they are now "Hilton Honors" and the name change came along with an entirely new redemption process. Hilton got rid of their award chart and you'll now be charged a certain number of points depending on the price of the hotel, although it is not a fixed rate. They also introduced a points and cash option where you can pick the amount of points and cash you'd like to use based on a sliding scale for every hotel stay.
Ultimately, the 100,000 points from the welcome bonus can get you anywhere from 20 nights at a low level category to 1 free night at a high level category. Remember, since this card gives you automatic status, you'll receive your 5th night free when using points for your stay.
Below is the old reward chart that they got rid of. So the points required will not exceed the higher range amount for each category.
My thoughts
Although this card comes with a $95 annual fee, if you plan on staying at Hilton hotels throughout the year, having Hilton Gold status is a great status to have. Even though this is a mid-tier status, you'll still receive complimentary breakfast, free internet, a possible upgrade and concierge floor, etc. You'll also receive your 5th night free on award redemptions.
Keep in mind though that Hilton does run status matches often though, so if you have status with another hotel, you might easily be able to earn Gold status anyways. You can read more about the perks of Hilton status here.
I also love that this is a brand new product which means that if you have already received the card offer for the two previous Hilton American Express offers, you are still eligible for this offer. There is also one more brand new Hilton Amex offer that I'll write about soon, although it comes with a $95 annual fee!
Key Link:
- Hilton Honors American Express Business Card: Earn 75,000 Bonus Points after you spend $3,000 in purchases on your Card in the first 3 months of Card Membership, and 25,000 Bonus Points after you make another $1,000 in purchases on your Card in your first 6 months. *Terms apply.

Photoshop can be used for simple animations, while Flash can be used for more complex ones. Don't have those program? Look online for lots of freebies. At the very least, you can expose your students to the basic concepts. That's what it is all about, anyway.
This unit is difficult for many, because most of us do not have the software resources we need to teach the concept--and it is difficult to justify large expenditures of money for 15 hours of instruction. I think that last part is important to remember---the frameworks call for 15 hours of instruction. That's really not very long.
If you have access to iPads, there are a number of free apps that can be used. Enjoy the unit--and don't stress!!

[TWs at links for distressing descriptions of behavior toward an autistic child and/or for distressing behavior/language aimed at specific book reviewers.]
According to its publisher, Whitney Ellenby's Autism Uncensored hits bookstores 15 April 2018. But Ellenby and the book have already garnered some major criticism: for Ellenby's recent op-ed in the Washington Post, for the book itself, and for the way Ellenby, her husband. and/or the publisher have reportedly treated less-than-glowing reviews of advance copies.
For instance: Kaelan Rhywiol's review and livetweet are linked in this post, in which Rhywiol also describes the email altercation she had with Ellenby and Ellenby's husband as a result of those reviews. Kaia Sonderby also livetweeted a critical review.
I have seen at least three people on Twitter state that they emailed Koehler Books about Autism Uncensored, only to receive replies from Ellenby and/or her husband directly, rather than from the publisher. It appeared in each case that Koehler had forwarded the emails to the author. (I have not actually seen these emails, the forward data, or the replies.)
Koehler Books did reply publicly on 11 March, however, in this blog post [above TWs apply], titled "Why Koehler Books is Publishing Whitney Ellenby's Autism Uncensored." The blog post is an excellent object lesson in the ways in which "Why?" is deeply a question of ethics – and how, as authors, our publisher's ethics both effect and affect public perceptions of our own.
Full Disclosure:
- Under my not-pen-name, I am a partner and developmental editor at Autonomous Press, which also published my first novel.
- I have not read Autism Uncensored, and I do not intend for any of my comments here to reflect an opinion of the book. I do wish to comment on statements made by the publisher in the publisher's public 11 March blog post, linked above, and on the description of the book on Amazon.com, which is typically provided to Amazon by the publisher.
The above-linked blog post is long, so I'll quote only the items I wish to address specifically. You can find those items in context at the link above.
"The Same Reason Any Publisher Would"
Koehler Books's response to the Ellenby controversy opens with an announcement that the publisher will be releasing Autism Uncensored on 15 April, followed by this sentence:
We agreed to publish Ellenby's book for the same reason any publisher would:
Autism Uncensored received considerable backlash from actually-autistic advance reviewers. Autonomous Press has a specific track record of publishing works on autism by actually-autistic authors, and the press trusts the opinions of actually-autistic reviewers, many of whom specialize in covering works on autism.
Consequently, I was immediately skeptical that "any" publisher would in fact share Koehler Books's reasons for publishing Autism Uncensored.
But I'm in the class "any publisher," so let's see.
1. The author had written an excellent book, well crafted and with a strong, logical narrative voice.
If we're defining "excellent" as "well crafted and with a strong, logical narrative voice," then yes. I too prefer to publish excellent books.
2. The writing was clean and the craft excellent.
I'm not seeing how this differs materially from point 1. Differentiate or delete.
3. The author was writing about her personal experience from a strong advocate position, a position of expertise based on her personal testimony.
Were the book about how to advocate for one's autistic child, I might consider "personal testimony" a source point in the writer's favor. Depending on the depth and nature of that advocacy and the quality of the "personal testimony" describing it, I might also consider that advocacy and its testimonal expression a source of "expertise."
To date, however, I have not seen this book marketed as an advocacy manual. Amazon lists it under various SpEd categories, and the Amazon product description portrays it as a "true, at-time account," implying a memoir. I do not consider "personal testimony" to be per-se synonymous with "advocacy" in memoir, nor do I consider the "personal testimony" of a memoir to convey any sort of "expertise" in itself.
In fact, given the inherently personal nature of memoir, I question whether concepts like "advocacy" or "expertise" even apply to the genre, and if so, whether a parent trying to talk about a condition her child has can ever rightly be categorized as either advocacy or expertise.
I hesitate to agree that "any publisher" would publish an advocacy manual but list and market it as a SpEd-related memoir. Potential questions of liability aside, it seems like a poor way to reach your target audience and thus maximize sales.
4. The author wrote the book to share her story in the hopes of helping other parents of autistic children who are dealing with extremely difficult issues of control, and who desperately want to give their children the best possible life. Ellenby offers her views and experience dealing with the unorthodox methods she specifically adapted to Zack so he could live a full life.
I'mma stop you right there, Koehler Books.
"Any publisher" absolutely would not publish a book "to share [the author's] story in the hopes of helping other parents of autistic children….", for the simple reason that publishing parent memoirs does not fall under the purview of every publisher.
Seriously: Are we to believe that even Chooseco publishes autism parent memoirs now?
5. The author clearly states in the Prologue that she understands that her methods are unorthodox, experimental, and even controversial; that she in no way endorses them for others to follow; that her book is not a prescription. She offers them as part of her own individual narrative, along with her unique perspectives about autism in hope of helping some parents with autistic children, because she has seen how much the methods she has employed with her own son, Zack, have helped him to realize his own civil rights, and live a more complete life.
Assuming arguendo that this entire point is true, it is not a reason "any publisher" would publish this book. It may be a reason Koehler Books agreed to publish this book, and I have no comment on that: Koehler Books can decide to publish just about anything Koehler Books wants. Again: Many publishers are not in the business of publishing parent memoirs.
I have to question the perspective of a publisher that claims the reason it accepts a certain manuscript is the reason any other publisher would do the same. You're killing my willing suspension of disbelief here, Koehler Books.
6. The author has an excellent following of readers and is well connected in the autism community.
I agree that some publishers would consider this a selling point. But "any publisher" won't. Some simply won't care; a handful will consider a following in the "autism community" a strike against the author.
Any author who "is well connected in the autism community" will have to work three times as hard to convince me that their manuscript is worth publishing, for instance. Because I have seen the "autism community" from the perspective of the authors I publish and the readers that buy our books, and the view isn't flattering.
7. Her marketing and promotional plans were and are excellent. She gets it.
Sure, I love an author who understands marketing and promotion.
To Summarize: Of seven reasons Koehler gives that "any publisher" would have published Ellenby's book, two look realistic, one is redundant, three are false, and one rests on an apparent marketing error, which I'm going to categorize as "mostly false" on the grounds that a reasonably prudent publisher would not categorize a book as a SpEd-related memoir, then insist its ethos is based on its value as an advocacy handbook.
The list is followed by this comment:
From a publishing perspective, we saw all green lights to get behind Ellenby's book.
I have no reason whatsoever to disbelieve this statement. The above list might not reflect why any publisher would publish this book, but I do believe it accurately reflects why Koehler Books choose to publish this book.
It also raises my ethical hackles.
"Why Not?" Is Also a Question of Ethics
Publishers in the U.S. are free to choose pretty much any mandate they like. They can target pretty much any audience they like. So naturally, there's a press out there for just about any kind of writing authors want to do.
13-volume history of Betamax? There's a press for that.
Raccoon porn? There's a press for that.
Parent memoir rehashing tired & terrible autism tropes? There's even a press for that.
But while we're trading in cliches: Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Throughout Koehler Books' open blog post, there's a noticeable lack of questioning why a publisher should perhaps not publish a memoir of the type described by Autism Uncensored's Amazon description. For instance:
- Did every child in this book get a chance to consent meaningfully to how they are depicted? I'm aware that legally, parents in the U.S. can exploit their kids in any number of ways. Ethically, parenting demands not only protecting kids but also helping them practice making reasoned choices. Choices like "hey, do you want this horrible moment from when you were four published for the whole world to read?"
- How does this book interact with current popular depictions of autism, autistic people, and non-autistic parents of autistic children? There's a hint of this in the Amazon description, but it runs so completely counter to the actual state of autism literature that I have to believe it's based on the author and/or publisher having not done their homework. The Amazon description portrays a book that plays straight into the most harmful tropes about autism that have circulated for seventy years. It's feeding a social movement that we already know has killed autistic children and adults. Again, it's legal to publish stuff like this in many instances – but not ethical.
- Who is going to regret it if we publish this book? This is related to the consent question, but it also implicates the fact that adults, with our access to resources and fully-formed pre-frontal cortices, have an ethical responsibility to think ahead, to spot the potential worst outcomes, and to ask honest questions of everyone involved regarding whether they're prepared for those outcomes. For many of the authors I work with, this bar is low, but for parents writing about their children's difficulties, that bar can and should be extremely high.
In other words: Why SHOULDN'T we publish this book?
Failure to ask this question rigorously is, I believe, the number-one reason Koehler Books finds itself in the position to have to publish defensive blog posts. For two reasons:
- Had it asked those questions, Koehler Books might not have published Autism Uncensored in the first place, and
- By failing to ask them, Koehler Books has positioned itself as a publisher who doesn't do that kind of ethical heavy lifting when choosing manuscripts.
Point 2 helps to explain the remainder of the Koehler blog post, following the last paragraph from which I quoted. Nothing in the rest of the post answers the title question. The publisher's founder's CV is irrelevant to Ellenby's content, the First Amendment does not apply to private criticism of publishing companies, and the rest is a rant about bullying of the sort one can find on any social media site. None of it is on-point, and all of it reads like the kind of thing a writer only finds necessary to say if he or she feels cornered.
Perhaps Koehler Books should feel cornered right now. Perhaps some time in the corner will help them think about all the whys they didn't ask.

Now, a BBC Three documentary by one of Girls Aloud might not sound the likeliest source of some solid investigative journalism. None the less, Nicola Roberts: the Truth About Tanning, was not just good, but possibly even important.
Apparently, Roberts (the Scouse red-haired one) used to be obsessed with looking bronzed herself. Now, she's embraced her outer paleness with the usual convert's zeal. Her first stop last night was South Wales where she lectured tanning-addict Tom with a sternness that wouldn't have shamed Ann Widdecombe.
But Roberts's sights were soon set on wider things than a bloke from Cardiff. Since the advent of sunbeds, she told us, the number of cases of skin cancer in Britain has quadrupled. It's also the fastest growing disease among young people – and Britain is one of the few Western countries with no legal age restrictions on sunbed use.
According to the World Health Organisation, "sunbeds are now as dangerous as cigarettes" – and in many ways the programme did resemble a smoking documentary from about 1962. There was the same ignorance from the users, the same talk of personal freedom from the industry and, above all, the same sense that this is only the beginning of a very long story indeed.
Despite the shots of Roberts walking purposefully along pavements, nobody will have confused her here with a Newsnight reporter, particularly when she was in full psychobabble flow. Even so, her mixture of outrage at the lack of regulations, sympathy for the victims and anxiety for the potential victims did ultimately make for a convincing and sobering piece of television: especially, I would imagine, for its target audience of teenage girls. As Tom wonderingly told us, it took "a ginger woman from Girls Aloud" to show him the dangers of excessive tanning – and after last night, I bet he wasn't alone.

The Best Way To Deal With Allergies
The agony that allergies can cause is something with which untold numbers of people are familiar with. The truth is, however, that there are solutions available for those who seek them. Start using the ideas and tips in this piece, and you will have the tools necessary to conquer allergies, once and for all. If you must have a pet in your life, get one that is short-haired. Although all animals can bother an allergy sufferer, one with long hair can make the problem much worse. Additionally, do not have your pets sleep on your bed if you want to keep your allergies under control. Shower, and wash your hair before going to bed every night. Believe it or not, pollen can collect in your hair and on your body.
Causing allergies to worsen overnight. Be sure to wash your body, and hair thoroughly before going to bed. This can be prevention for this happening. Determine why you itch. Sometimes it can be difficult to know whether the itchy, raised welts on your skin are hives or just insect bites. If the bumps appear all over your body, they are probably hives. Insect bites, on the other hand, appear in clusters and on the arms on legs.
Topical products are ideal for either ailment; oral anti-histamine is recommended to treat allergies, but is not necessary for insect bites. One of the easiest things that you can do if you suffer from seasonal allergies is to try taking an over-the-counter antihistamine. Sneezing, itchy eyes, and a runny nose are all symptoms of seasonal allergies.They can be relieved by many readily available medicines. Be cautious though, b] many of these antihistamines will make you drowsy, so you might not be able to drive. Most people who are allergic to animal dander assume that dogs, and cats are the only pets that can cause problems in the home. With the exception of fish, reptiles, and amphibians, dander is universal among popular household critters. Ferrets, hamsters, mice, and birds are as likely to trigger an allergic reaction. Keep this in mind as you shop for your next pet. Do not use wet methods of cleaning your carpeting or rugs.
This can actually increase the number of dust mites it harbors, and it increases the likelihood of mildew growth. Stick to dry cleaning methods, instead, if at all possible. The best way to reduce allergens is to ditch the carpeting altogether. If you are a season allergy sufferer, then look around your environment to see how you can lessen the allergens around you. This could be as easy as using an inexpensive humidifier to keep the surrounding air moist, which keeps your sinuses from becoming too dry and will not be as effective, in being able to fight off the allergens. Use only products that don't cause your skin to have an allergic reaction. A lot of the time they have ingredients in them that are horrible for your skin condition and will cause you to break out, they also seep into pores. Take care to read labels so that you can stay away from ingredients that cause your skin trouble. Going for a run around the neighborhood may make you feel wonderful and alive, but pollen and spores in the air can quickly spoil the experience.
This is especially true if you are already fatigued or are recently recovering from an illness. In response to these conditions your immune system is compromised, which makes you far more likely to experience a severe allergic response to allergens. Do not allow your seasonal allergies keep you from the joys and health benefits of a good run outdoors. The best time to engage in physical activities outdoors is immediately after a rainshower. Rain tames clouds of pollens, spores and mold and makes you less likely to encounter high allergen levels. Leave your shoes at the door. Believe it or not, your shoes can be a common breeding ground for mold, especially in the fall months when there are leaves on the ground. Avoid bring the mold into your home by having everyone remove their shoes before they walk into your home. People who suffer from allergies need to think about hiring someone to mow their lawn and do other gardening activities around their home.
Both of these activities will expose people to pollen and dust. If you can afford to hire someone to do this for you, then this is a great solution. If you cannot afford to hire someone, then wear a mask while doing these activities. Pay attention to the pollen count reports. Since pollen counts report how many grains of pollen were counted in a specific area, over a specific time frame, they could be used to determine how much pollen is floating around in the air on the given day. This could be used to determine how much time you might want to spend outside. Dust your home at least once a week. This will help get rid of allergens in your home.
Be sure to wash all of your rugs in hot water. If you can't wash them, have them dry cleaned. This will eliminate the dust mites and mold that collects on them. Take the time to clean your home thoroughly. People are usually allergic to a number of things; cleaning your environment can get rid of many allergens. Clean as much as you can. If allergies cause your eyes to be itchy or dry, remember not to rub them. Instead try antihistamine eye drops to remedy your sore, scratchy eyes.
If you keep rubbing your eyes, you may irritate the follicles near your eyelashes, which can lead to styes. Just about everyone knows someone who deals with the annoyance of seasonal and other types of allergies. The impact is something that can be extremely disruptive, uncomfortable and frustrating. Keep the ideas from this article close at hand, and you will be able to successfully combat your allergies and share some great advice with others.

If you've ever wanted to add your own custom attributes to an object that you did not control in JavaScript, you may have resorted to some "_my_app_name_attribute" types of names – lengthy, weird looking and hopefully unique amongst the attributes on an object. Even if this works, though, there are some inherent issues with polluting objects with attributes that other code has to sift through. It can cause problems with JSON.stringify, and worse! Of course, there have been workarounds for this, such as wrapper / decorator objects. But even these have limitations.
Now, with ES6 Symbols, you can take full advantage of the ability to modify any existing object with your own data, and not have to worry about so many pollution and JSON problems! Symbols provide a unique way of assigning meaningful names to object attributes while protecting your "config" attribute from the other code's "config" attribute.
Join me in this LIVE! episode of WatchMeCode, where I explore ES6 Symbols, what they are and how they work!

About Us
Contact Us
HVAC & Geothermal Services in Flushing, MI
The HVAC industry is always advancing, with higher efficiency systems that work in more complex ways than their predecessors. While there are a lot of different companies out there that may promise to help you live comfortably throughout the year, it is important that you choose your service provider carefully. You don't want to get stuck with a company more interested in selling you costly upgrades that you don't really need than they are with actually keeping you company.
At First Choice Heating & Cooling, we install top-quality HVAC, water heating, and indoor air quality systems of all kinds. However, we also focus on what comes after the purchase: keeping those systems up and running at peak performance levels. Schedule your HVAC and geothermal services in Flushing, MI with us, and you'll get service quality defined by trust and integrity. We make your home happy!
Why Schedule Professional Air Conditioning Repairs and Maintenance?
When something goes wrong with your home cooling system, you may be tempted to try and fix it yourself. Trust us when we tell you that this course of action is truly misguided, though. It is not going to save you time and money. It only puts your AC at risk. Should you encounter the need for professional air conditioning repairs in Flushing, MI, or if you are ready to schedule routine air conditioning maintenance, put down the toolbox, pick up the phone, and give us a call.
Leave Your Home Heating Services to Trained Technicians
Do you know what gas furnaces, heat pumps, steam boilers, and all other home heating systems share in common? Aside from the fact that they all provide warmth in the winter season, they must all be installed and serviced by trained professionals. If not, there is no way that you can hope to use your heater safely, let alone as effectively and efficiently as possible. Contact us and know that your home heating services are in the most skilled of hands.
Trust Us for Your Furnace Installation and Repair Needs
Gas and electric furnaces are among the most popular of all home heating systems available today. They are capable of heating homes very effectively and efficiently, not to mention promptly, but only when expertly sized, installed, and serviced. Our technicians will determine your heat load accurately to guarantee that you have an appropriately sized furnace installed in your home, and our maintenance and repair services will keep it running properly.
Ready for Boiler Installation or Repair Service?
If so, you are looking in the right place. We install many great types of boilers, including gas and oil fired steam, and hot water systems. Boilers are held in high regard because they are so reliable and long lasting. No heater is perfect, though. If your heating bills are spiking, your boiler is making strange sounds, or any other issues develop, contact us right away for quality boiler repairs. We can also install a brand new boiler in your home.
Never Attempt Your Own Water Heater Installation or Repairs
Whenever you take a hot shower, do the dishes, or run the washing machine, you are counting on your water heater to provide you with the necessary hot water. You never want to risk a subpar performance from the water heater in your home. That is why you should let our technicians install, service, and repair your tank, tankless, or indirect water heater.
Call for Geothermal Heating and Cooling Services
Are you interested in heating your home with both outstanding efficiency and great reliability? Then you should definitely consider the installation of a geothermal heating and cooling system. Geothermal systems exchange heat with the ground, and in both directions. That means that you can use the system to heat your home in the winter, and to cool it in the summer.
Air-source heat pumps are a great HVAC option, but they can suffer a drop in efficiency when our incredibly cold winter weather is in full effect. The ground doesn't experience those temperature fluctuations, though. Call today to learn more about geothermal - or ground-source - heat pumps.
Use a Whole-House Humidifier and Air Cleaners for Better Air Quality
Cold air does not hold humidity as well as warm air does, and our long winters are plenty cold. That can lead to some serious issues with very dry air in your home. Using a whole-house humidifier is the best way in which to resolve those issues.
You may also need to remove airborne pollutants or destroy biological pollutants in your residence. If so, just let us know. We'll find the right air purifier, or purifiers, for your needs.

The Occupational Safety and Heath Administration (OSHA) cited Sterling Properties, the developers of the BellClair of Montclair luxury apartment complex, with 17 alleged serious violations and issued proposed fines totaling $44,600.
The incident occurred March 27. OSHA's investigation following Yunganoula's death found:
- The scaffold was incapable of holding its own weight, let alone that of the workers standing on it.
- Footings were not level, and were incapable of supporting the loaded scaffold without shifting.
- Scaffolding footings were set on a mixed group of supports, including scrap wood and concrete blocks.
- uneven combinations of scrap wood and stacked concrete blocks. Employees working on the scaffold were exposed to a fall hazard of 34 feet to the ground below.
- Employees on the scaffolding were not protected from falls, and some workers were exposed to potentials falls as great as 34 feet.
- Employees were not trained to recognize and avoid unsafe scaffold conditions.

Are you struggling to find the time to get it all done?
On the elusive quest for perfection and balance, we often find ourselves in a constant state of overwhelm, guilt and the feeling that there is just never enough time. These thoughts can be crushing to our inspiration and our passion toward our work and our lives. In the latest interview on the Inspired Woman Project, Megan Flatt (meganflatt.com) explains how we can have it all by working on the emotional and logistical challenges of getting it all done.
The first step in organizing our life, because it is all life, says Megan, is to get really clear on our priorities. It may seem counter-intuitive, but "whenever you are feeling overwhelmed by all the things you have to do, get more overwhelmed," states Megan. If you can imagine it as dumping out all the pieces to a puzzle on the table; first you sort, then you prioritize the edges of the framework and eventually you fit the pieces into a discernible pattern.
Now, imagine your time in this way. There is enough of it, you simply need to get clear on what it's being used for. Dump it out on the table, write a list, prioritize it into blocks of manageable time on your calendar and you will begin to see the pattern of where to place the things that hold the most value. If you know your brain works best in the morning, plan your brain powered work for that time period. If your family is all gathered in the evening, block out that time for them. You will find that you can accomplish what you need to do and then be present for those you want to spend quality time with.

via 🔴 Trump Offers Voters Free Lunch, Then Gives Them The Bill – YouTube
AGR agrees with him up to about 5 minutes in, then he goes into the solution he proposes, which is exactly what Trump is doing now, which is not working. Cutting taxes on the rich will result in the bubble bursting. Eliminating government agencies will only get rid of more union jobs, which makes everything worse. Cutting the military budget is a great idea, because increasing that only creates a fascist government controlled by corporations.
How about eliminating all lobbying and donations by billionaires and corporations? If money were taken out of elections and politics, it would solve 99 percent of all problems. If everyone got to donate a maximum of $1, that would fix most issues.

Hello everyone, I hope the new year is treating you well. My apologies on the long absence from the blog, it's been way too long since I've written an update on the portfolio. This is the first post made on the site since September, so it feels great to get back in the saddle once again.
I keep hoping that I'll find more time for writing on investments and my portfolio, but it's becoming apparent that more limited time is my new reality. With a full-time job and three young kiddos at home, I'm finding that it's not just the busyness of life that keeps increasing, but also the exhaustion at the end of the day from keeping up with it all. Maybe it has something to do with turning 40 in the fall; but those midnight writing sessions just don't come as easy as they used to!Continue reading DGI for the DIY: 2018 Dividend Income Progress Report

Take a look at our wellies buying guide for help and advice
Allow mud to dry then wipe clean with a damp cloth or sponge. Allow boots to dry naturally.

Wore these all day, whilst beating, feet stayed warm and dry. Comfortable straight out of the box, Side zips make it easy to remove boots without a boot jack at the end of the day.

Bought these at the start of the season after seeing them advertised. Would highly recommend this product , firstly very, very comfortable to wear ( like slippers on your feet) , these are a sturdy warm boot that not only look great but they are a very good product at a reasonable price . Have tried other named brands in the past that have leaked after one day in the field but not theses . I have put theses through their paces while rough shooting this season. Feet warm and dry on the coldest and wettest days , good ankle support and good grip on the soles. The full length zip makes it easy to remove . I'm a size UK 10 but ordered size 45 (10.5 ) perfect fit and allows for a thicker sock if required. Good company to buy from and excellent customer service.

As with other Percussion' clotthing I have previously bought these Wellies were comfortable straight from the packaging. I I wore these for the very first time last week, on a Thursday, whilst out all day in the rain. They were very comfortable and kept my feet dry, even if the rest of me got wet.
