The Best Taco in Every State Gallery
Tacos are one of the most delicious and perfect foods on earth, and we're thankfully living in an era when a high-quality Mexican street-style taco is within driving distance of just about everyone in America. Don't believe us? Then keep reading to learn where to find the best taco in every state and the District of Columbia.
In order to find the best taco in every state, we started with the top-ranked tacos from this year's ranking of the Best Tacos in America. We then consulted with our contingent of city editors from across the country, checked local rankings, and researched review sites to see which ones got the highest marks from in-the-know locals. We then judged each contender on quality of ingredients, skill in preparation, level of local renown, and authenticity; most of these tacos fit within the framework of the classic Mexican street taco, but we provided some leeway to allow for different styles (like Baja-style fish tacos) and for culinary creativity.
The next time somebody tells you that you can't find a great taco outside of a handful of states, you can remind them that though that might have been true 20 years ago, times have changed, and that's something for which we should be very thankful.iStockPhoto
Alabama: Al Pastor, Los Dos Hermanos Taco Truck (Birmingham)
Run by brothers and Michoacán natives Daniel and Jaime Guzman, who also run Birmingham's insanely popular Taqueria Guzman, Los Dos Hermanos is turning out some spectacular Mexican fare, including burritos, quesadillas, tortas, and tostadas, but it's the $2 tacos that are the real standout. Opt for the flavorful al pastor, and don't' forget to grab a chile from the bowl.Photo by Ayushe S. via Yelp
Alaska: The Alaskan, Lane's Quickie Tacos (Fairbanks)
Chef Lane Quick grew up in San Antonio, and was disappointed that he was unable to find any authentic Tex-Mex tacos in Fairbanks after moving there. So in 2013, after much trial and error, he opened a stand at the Tanata Valley Farmers Market, and it was so successful that it warranted a brick-and-mortar restaurant of its own: Lane's. If you visit, make sure you try the Alaskan, which was modeled after the famed green chile pulled pork taco from Torchy's in Austin: slow-roasted shredded pork in two fresh corn tortillas, topped with queso fresco, onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime, made fresh to order.Yelp/ Kelley T.
Arizona: Fish Tacos, Restaurant Atoyac Estilo Oaxaca (Phoenix)
Formerly known as Tacos Atoyac, this beloved Phoenix taquería closed down with no notice a few years back and reopened nearly a month later with a new name (Restaurant Atoyac Estilo Oaxaca) and, thankfully, the same menu. Though the standard lineup of meats are all spectacular (even the tripas, or intestines, are good), the fish taco is the way to go. Flaky white fish is fried until golden brown and crispy and then topped with shredded cabbage and a flavorful chipotle sauce. Roasted onions and jalapeños are offered for free on the side; you're going to want to say yes to those.Photo by Yerim K. via Yelp
Arkansas: Carne Asada, Taqueria El Palenque (Little Rock)
Hiding in a hidden corner of an anonymous strip mall, tiny Taqueria El Palenque is turning out some seriously authentic Mexican fare for in-the-know locals. Specialties like enchiladas, carnitas, and shrimp cocktail are fresh and flavorful, and tacos (which only cost $1.49) are available in seven meat options running the gamut from al pastor to buche (pork stomach), but the grilled carne asada is perfection.Photo by Rachel D. via Yelp
California: Carnitas, La Taqueria (San Francisco)
When it comes to leaders of a culinary genre, there are few restaurants in America with greater gravitas for their respective focus than San Francisco's La Taqueria has for tacos. That gives it, and its tacos (carnitas among them, quite arguably the best), quite a heavy reputation to live up to. La Taqueria, just one of the Mission's many casual Mexican joints, does Mexican the way they should be done: fresh. As if the amazing rice-free burritos weren't enough (you'd never notice its absence), there are the tacos. To prepare the carnitas, chef/owner Miguel Jara slow-cooks chunks of pork shoulder in cauldrons of bubbling lard until tender, then roasts it until it's crispy. When it's tucked into a double layer of corn tortillas and topped with your choice of pinto beans, onions, pico de gallo, cheese, crema, or guacamole (or none of the above), there just might be no better taco in America.Photo by Winnie L. via Yelp
Colorado: Pork Belly "Agridulce," Tacos Tequila Whiskey (Denver)
Originally a taco truck, chef Kevin Morrison's Tacos Tequila Whiskey puts a modern twist on comida de la calle (Mexican street food), along with small-batch tequilas. Morrison has put a modern twist on Mexican street food, serving a standout taco filled with sweet-and-sour-braised pork belly with candied garlic, cabbage and cilantro slaw, and a nuanced braising jus to add extra flavor and moisture.Photo by Anthony J. via Yelp
Connecticut: Carnitas, El Charrito (Riverside)
This community in the famously posh town of Greenwich may be the last place you'd expect to find real Mexican takeout food. But at El Charrito, Carlos and Alex Terrón, who also run a popular food truck in neighboring (and more Hispanic) Stamford, have brought southwestern Connecticut a standard of Mexican cooking usually found only in urban Texas or California. The wide variety of taco fillings ranges from chicken, shrimp, and spicy pork adobada to pig's ear, tripe, and cow's tongue. The carnitas tacos are typical: a couple of flavorful steamed corn tortillas with a scattering of sweet, crispy pork bits, minced onions, cilantro, and lime segments on the side to squeeze over everything. Simple and perfect.Photo by Jeff J. via Yelp
Delaware: Lamb Birria, El Pique (Wilmington)
Tiny hole-in-the-wall El Pique gets packed on a daily basis, but it's still easy to pass by. Head inside and you'll encounter just a few tables and behind the counter, a plancha manned by two ladies cooking an astounding variety of proteins, including hard-to-find cuts like pork snout (trompa), beef head (cabeza), and a combo of all different types of offal (surtida). The best move is to go for the birria, made with lamb. It's super-flavorful and incredibly tender, crisped up on the griddle and served with onion, cilantro, and your choice of three sauces.Photo by Shannon R. via Yelp
Florida: Raw Tuna, My Ceviche (Miami)
My Ceviche is a fast-casual seafood spot that's become a Miami standby with a handful of locations throughout the city. Ceviche (made with your choice of three types of seafood and in six styles), burritos, bowls, and salads are all solid options, but don't miss the tacos, which are available with fish, shrimp, octopus, chicken, or raw tuna. It may be unexpected, but raw tuna is the way to go: It's chopped into tiny pieces and piled into a corn or flour tortilla with a bright combo of pickled red onions, julienned matchsticks, shredded queso fresco, and cilantro; we suggest you ask for some sliced avocado on top as well.Photo by Victor Z. via Yelp
Georgia: Cabeza, El Rey Del Taco (Atlanta)
Ethnic eats abound on the Buford Highway, and 24-hour Mexican diner El Rey Del Taco doesn't disappoint. Made-to-order tortillas come filled with exotic options like tongue, tripe, and pork stomach, but don't be afraid of the cabeza, or beef cheek, which is meltingly tender. Shredded and topped with some cilantro and onion (and roasted onions if you ask for them), these things are groan-inducing good.Photo by Daniel B. via Yelp
Hawaii: Fish Tacos, Coconut's Fish Café (Maui)
Coconut's has locations in Arizona, Cupertino, and Sacramento, but the original Maui location is still the best, and it's serving the best taco you'll find in Hawaii. Open since 2009, the fish taco is a work of art: Fresh grilled mahi mahi and ono top a grilled tortilla, and the fish is topped with wasabi-coconut milk coleslaw, fresh tomatoes, mango salsa, and a little melted cheese. It's a masterpiece.Photo by Ann S. via Yelp
Idaho: Tin Roof Taco, Tin Roof Tacos (Boise)
When two Texas sisters realized that they couldn't find a good street taco in Boise, they put their heads together and Tin Roof was the result. Full of Texas charm (you'll find plenty of expats here downing Shiner Bocks and watching the Texas A&M game), Tin Roof serves a variety of creative tacos on tortillas made-to-order on their own tortilla machine. Opt for their eponymous Tin Roof Taco, made with brisket that's been slow-roasted for 18 hours, queso fresco, cilantro, and onions.Photo by Jake N. via Yelp
Illinois: Birria Tatemada, Birrieria Zaragoza (Chicago)
At Chicago's family-run Birrieria Zaragoza, goat is the name of the game. Namely, the roasted goat taco, or birria tatemada, based on a recipe that's more than 100 years old. The goat is steamed for around five hours, then rubbed with an ancho chile-based red mole sauce before being roasted and served on house-made corn tortillas with fresh condiments, including onion, cilantro, red salsa, and roasted chiles. You can request any part of the goat you like, but we suggest you go with the pistola, or shank. It's juicy, tender, and full of flavor - a bite worth seeking out if you're even a passing fan of falling-off-the-bone meat. And who isn't?Photo by Ryan N. via Yelp
Indiana: Mole, Indy Tacos (Indianapolis)
Behind perhaps the most unassuming storefront in Indy hide the best tacos in the state, and the daily line out the door of Indy Tacos during the lunch rush proves it. The menu is simple and straightforward, but it changes often to allow for some creative spins like mango chicken, steak poblano, and fish tacos. But when the chicken mole taco is available, don't miss it: The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the homemade mole negro is top-notch.Photo by Allison F. via Yelp
Iowa: Carne Asada, La Juanita (Storm Lake)
The large number of Latino farm and meatpacking workers in Iowa has made the state's small towns an unexpected destination for truly spectacular tacos, and with so much corn around the fresh tortillas are nothing to sneeze at. Case in point: La Juanita in Storm Lake, where Tyson Foods has a large operation. This beloved hidden gem has been in business for nearly 20 years, and serves a wide variety of authentic fillings like carne asada, chorizo, lengua, fish, chicken, carnitas, al pastor, tripe, liver, and chicharron. Their tortas and sopes are also popular, but carne asada tacos are a must-order, especially when topped with homemade hot sauce.Yelp/ Josh S.
Kansas: Cochinita Pibil, Taco Republic (Kansas City)
The low-key and inviting Taco Republic is one of the coolest spots in Kansas City - and one of the most popular patios. The fun menu includes items like five-cheese queso, spicy tequila lime wings, grilled shrimp tostadas, and a very popular wood-fired chicken, but the tacos are the star of the show here. The Salazar (pork belly, salsa verde, cilantro, onions, and chicharrónes) and Tecate Barbacoa (beer- and chile-braised brisket with onions and cilantro) are fan favorites, but you have to try the classic slow-cooked cochinita pibil, marinated and roasted pork topped with pickled red onions and tostones. It's a taste of the Yucatán in Kansas.Photo by Taco Republic via Yelp
Kentucky: Mahi Mahi, Seviche (Louisville)
One of Louisville's finest restaurants, Seviche also serves what's most likely the city's best taco. The mahi mahi in the taco at chef Anthony Lamas' shrine to Latin cuisine is marinated and grilled before being topped with a cumin-lime aïoli, cabbage, and a cilantro-flecked pico de gallo and placed atop two grilled corn tortillas. You might as well order two when you sit down, because you're not going to want to stop eating these.Photo by Zee R. via Yelp
Louisiana: Carne Asada, Johnny Sanchez (New Orleans)
When chefs with the pedigree of John Besh and Aarón Sánchez team up to open an Authentic Mexican restaurant, you can bet good money on the end result being spectacular (even though Besh is no longer involved). And by all accounts,Johnny Sanchez is. To get a good idea of the amount of skill (and the quality of the ingredients) on display here, start your meal with an order of carne asada tacos, made with perfectly cooked grilled skirt steak and topped with a one-two punch of pickled jalapeño guacamole and fresh pico de gallo. It's a masterpiece.Photo by Swati S. via Yelp
Maine: Bisteck Crispy Taco, Taco Escobarr (Portland)
Portland has no shortage of great restaurants (it's got the highest number of restaurants per capita in the country, in fact), but if you ask locals where the best taco joint is, they'll say Taco Escobarr. Tacos are available in three varieties: soft corn tortillas, crispy griddle-fried tortillas, or deep-fried San Antonio-style puffy tacos. The crispy taco is the winner of the bunch; fill yours with smoky slow-braised poblano-kicked shredded beef, melted Chihuahua cheese, cilantro, and pico de gallo.Photo by Jeremie L. via Yelp
Maryland: Al Pastor. Tortilleria Sinaloa (Baltimore)
The perpetually packed Tortilleria Sinaloa is consistently drawing crowds for the homemade tortillas and fresh, plentiful fillings. Don't miss the tamales, pozole, and special tilapia tacos with Old Bay butter sauce, but the menu's standout is the al pastor, tender and flavorful with chunks of grilled pineapple mixed in.Photo by Christina S. via Yelp
Massachusetts: Lengua, Taco Loco (Boston)
Nobody would argue that Taco Loco is anything but a dive, but ask anyone who's ever dined here and they'll tell you it serves some of the best Mexican food in Boston. A huge variety of dishes are available at the steam table, and you really can't go wrong with pupusas, burritos, and tamales, but don't miss the classic tacos, especially the slow-cooked lengua.Photo by Jacqueline T. via Yelp
Michigan: Carnitas, Taqueria El Rey (Detroit)
Low-key Southwest Detroit gemTaqueria El Rey is perhaps best known for its adobo grilled chicken, cooked on a massive drum-like grill by owner Chico Fuentes and his son, Sammy. But the tacos they're serving are also spectacular, especially the slow-cooked and perfectly crisped carnitas.Photo by Sarah C. via Yelp
Minnesota: Lengua, El Taco Riendo (Minneapolis)
This Twin Cities favorite is bringing Mexico City street food to Minneapolis in a fun and laid-back setting. Tostadas, tamales, sopes, enchiladas, burritos, and chilaquiles keep the crowds coming, but the tacos, made with tortillas produced by local tortilleria La Perla, are really things of beauty. Even if you're not a fan of tongue, the slow-cooked lengua will make you a convert.Photo by Mon P. via Yelp
Mississippi: Chorizo, Green Ghost Tacos (Jackson)
Jackson newcomer Green Ghost Tacos has already emerged as the winner of Mississippi's taco game, with two locations opening in the past three years. It's run by San Luis, Mexico, native "Mama Yolanda," and her recipes have been passed down for generations and cooked in small batches. Burritos, tortas, empanadas, enchiladas, quesadillas, chile rellenos, and nachos are all spectacular, and tacos are served in corn tortillas, hard-shell tortillas, and flour tortillas. We suggest you stick with the classic corn tortillas, and use them as a vessel for Mama Yolanda's spectacular homemade chorizo.Photo by Cody C. via Yelp
Missouri: Campechano, La Tejana Taqueria (St. Louis)
Located inside an unassuming strip mall, La Tejana is a no-frills room with a handful of booths and tables, but what's coming out of the kitchen is spectacular. The selection of meats available is pretty outstanding as well: steak, carnitas, cabeza (cow head), tongue, chorizo, chicken tinga, grilled chicken, al pastor, chicharrón, and occasionally goat. If you can't make up your mind (and even if you can), we suggest you go for the campechano, which is the best of two worlds: steak and chorizo, all mixed up on one perfect taco.Photo by Brian M. via Yelp
Montana: Fish, Taco Del Sol (Missoula)
There's nothing like a great fish taco to stop you dead in your tracks in the middle of landlocked Missoula, Montana. But that's exactly what you'll find at Taco Del Sol, which has a handful of locations in town and additional outposts throughout the state. Modern and inviting, this Mission-inspired taquería has been going strong since 1997, serving tacos in soft flour, soft corn, and crispy corn shells. Though the pulled pork and grilled steak tacos are great, it's the fish taco (baked Alaskan cod, beans, shredded cheese, fresh salsa, shredded cabbage, white sauce, hot sauce, and jalapeños) that's a symphony of deliciousness.Yelp/ Malissa P.
Nebraska: Al Pastor, La Choza (Omaha)
Specialties of El Salvador and Mexico are on display at La Choza, where Salvadoran specialties like pupusas and plantain leaf-wrapped tamales share the bill with the best tacos in the state. To prepare the al pastor, pork is marinated for three days before being grilled with chunks of pineapple, and the end result is a stellar taco.Photo by Will S. via Yelp
Nevada: Al Pastor, Taco y Taco (Las Vegas)
If you're looking for a classic taquería experience in Las Vegas, you're going to need to abandon The Strip and head to Taco y Taco, which has locations on East Tropicana Avenue and South Eastern Avenue. Opt for the al pastor, and pork will be sliced from a giant rotating spit and deposited directly onto the flat top for some extra caramelization. Piled into a tortilla with onions, cilantro, and chopped pineapple with an elote (ear of corn) on the side, it's the perfect distraction from the glitz and glamor of The Strip.Photo by Katherine A. via Yelp
New Hampshire: Pastor, El Rincon Zacatecano Taqueria (Manchester)
El Rincon Zacatecano Taqueria is a beloved Mexican spot in Manchester, serving spot-on classic Mexican fare with an eye toward nuance and authenticity in a fun and festive atmosphere. You really can't go wrong (don't miss some of the chef's specialties, including Chiflando y Aplaudiendo, a mix of carnitas, beef, and caramelized onions with chorizo, served with refried beans, rice, pico, guac, and tortillas), but make sure you try some tacos, especially the tender and flavorful al pastor, studded with pineapple chunks.Yelp/ Mark T.
New Jersey: Al Pastor, Aguilas de Mexico (Newark)
There's no shortage of solid Mexican spots in Newark, but locals agree Aguilas de Mexico is the real deal. This family-owned Ironbound gem has only been around since 2012, but its freshness and consistency has already endeared it to locals. Al Pastor is tender and delicious, with a little crisp on the pork and some pineapple tying it all together.Photo by Victoria L. via Yelp
New Mexico: Chicken with Green Chile, The Shed (Santa Fe)
Santa Fe loves the green chiles from Hatch, down in the southern part of New Mexico, and their nearly supernatural ability to pair perfectly with just about any type of food you can think of. At The Shed, in business since 1953, the chiles are grown especially for the restaurant and brought in fresh daily, then processed on site. One of the best applications of this spicy green sauce that you'll find in the city is on the restaurant's taco plate: two fresh blue corn tortillas with baked chicken topped with green chile, Cheddar, onion, lettuce, and tomato. The chicken is perfectly cooked, but the chile is the real star of the show (as is the stellar posole that comes with it).Eric L. via Yelp
New York: Adobada, Los Tacos No. 1 (New York City)
With Los Tacos No. 1 setting up in the Chelsea Market, there's only one thing to say to taco-crazy New Yorkers eager to assert that they now have one of America's best tacos: You're right.
Los Tacos No. 1 serves a taco so good that you could dare anyone to taste it blindfolded against their supposed favorite and make money betting on the outcome. Not that the proprietors here are unfamiliar with real tacos: Los Tacos is a collaboration between three close friends from Tijuana and Brawley, California. You really can't go wrong with the adobo or pollo tacos here, but the winner is the red chile-marinated pork - the adobada. Moist. Salted. Flavorful. Sweet but not cloying. There are also expertly prepared salsas, so you can dress your taco yourself.Photo by Jason P. via Yelp
North Carolina: Barbacoa, Tacos La Vaquita (Durham)
Since the turn of the millennium, Durham has experienced a boom in the size of its Hispanic community, and helping to give the city's new residents a taste of home is Tacos La Vaquita. There's a whole lot to love about the menu, but make sure to order the barbacoa taco. It's composed of flavored beef with chopped onions, cilantro, radish, and green or red sauce, all rolled into a handmade corn tortilla.Photo by Thomas R. via Yelp
North Dakota: Taco, Red Pepper (Grand Forks)
We're just going to say it: If you find yourself craving a Mexican street-style taco in North Dakota, you're probably going to end up disappointed. Instead, we'll steer you to Red Pepper, a Grand Forks institution for more than 50 years. Its "grinders" (ham, salami, turkey, taco meat, and Colby cheese on a soft loaf) are the stuff of late-night legend, and its tacos are the best in the state. Listed on the menu as just "Taco," it's a perfect hard-shell taco filled with homemade ground seasoned beef, lettuce, hot sauce, and grated Colby cheese. They'll put it in a soft flour tortilla for you if prefer, but why mess with perfection?Photo by Red Pepper via Yelp
Ohio: Carne Trozo, Barrio (Cleveland)
Downtown Cleveland's beloved Barrio trusts its guests to build their own ideal tacos from a selection of fillings including Coca-Cola marinated steak, braised beef, housemade chorizo, pulled pork, bacon, shrimp with garlic cream, grilled portobello mushrooms, apple jicama slaw, and Western Reserve smoked Cheddar, but we suggest you let the masters build it for you and choose from the variety of "El Jefe's Selecciones." Don't miss the spicy Carne Trozo: braised beef, smoked Cheddar, lettuce, tomato, cilantro, onion, corn salsa, salsa verde, and secret sauce in a hard shell. It's a party in one bite.Photo by Mel T. via Yelp
Oklahoma: Green Chile Pork, Big Truck Tacos (Oklahoma City)
One of OKC's most popular food trucks now has three trucks and a brick-and-mortar location, and Big Truck Tacos is putting a twist on traditional Mexican street food. Get there early to avoid the lines, and take your pick from specialties including The Rancher (brisket, sautéed mushrooms, onions, potatoes, and escabeche); Okie-Wahoo (tilapia, sweet chili jicama-cabbage slaw and green onions); and Borracho Chicken (spice-rubbed beer-can chicken, spicy tomato sauce, onion, and cilantro). But if you're only going to try one taco, make it the Green Chile Pork with slow-roasted pork, Hatch green chiles, queso fresco, onions, and cilantro. It's a classic Southwest dish, and these guys do it right.Yelp/ Cindy L.
Oregon: Carnitas, Sanchez Taqueria (Tigard)
Portland doesn't suffer from a lack of good Mexican food, but for a real taquería experience, you'll want to head out of the city on 99W, and stop in at Sanchez Taqueria, a roadside institution since 1999 that declares: "We're not fancy, we're delicious!" The house specialty is chavindecas - a hard-to-find regional dish from small towns near Mexico City - basically quesadilla-like sandwiches made with fresh corn tortillas layered with beans, meat, crema, cabbage, onion, cilantro, avocado, and cotija. But if you're in the mood for a taco, their carnitas are second to none.Sanchez Taqueria PDX
Pennsylvania: Shrimp, El Vez (Philadelphia)
Restaurateur Stephen Starr knows what people love to eat, and at Philadelphia's El Vez he's bringing top-notch Mexican food to the hungry masses. An order of the tacos al carbon is enough to feed two, and the grilled shrimp is the way to go; it's a masterpiece. Homemade flour tortillas get filled with slightly spicy and super flavorful shrimp that are hot off the grill, and you can customize how much poblano, pico de gallo, guacamole, and queso fresco you want to add. Thankfully, a second location opened in New York in 2014.Lucy T. via Yelp
Rhode Island: Carnitas, Tallulah's Taqueria (Providence)
A breath of fresh air in the Providence culinary scene, Tallulah's is serving classic Mexican fare prepared with a deft hand in a trendy space. Tacos, burritos, tortas, bowls, and quesadillas can be filled with your choice of 11 fillings (as well as breakfast ingredients), and though you can't go wrong with al pastor, barbacoa, chipotle braised potato, or grilled shrimp or fish, don't miss the carnitas: slow-braised pork belly and shoulder, served (like all the tacos) in a corn tortilla with guacamole, onions, cilantro, salsa, radishes, and lime.Joseph X. via Yelp
South Carolina: Carnitas, Carmen y Juan's (Mt. Pleasant)
Located far from the beaten path in a Mt. Pleasant strip mall, Carmen y Juan's is serving some seriously delicious tacos. Everything from the tortillas to the hot sauce is made from scratch (including a killer mole and a traditional long-cooked menudo), and the slow-cooked meats are deeply satisfying. Make sure you try the carnitas, big chunks of falling-apart pork marinated in orange and pineapple juice before being simmered in hot oil and tucked into a fresh tortilla with onion and cilantro. Be sure to drizzle on some of the housemade hot sauce.Yelp/ Scotty C.
South Dakota: Chicken, Sabor A Mexico (Rapid City)
Believe it or not, you can find great tacos just a stone's throw from Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills' Rapid City. Just head down East North Street until you reach the small and unassuming Sabor A Mexico, where you'll find Michoacán-native Ana Line Munoz cooking her traditional family recipes in the kitchen. Scratch-made salsas, tamales, and sopes are definite crowd-pleasers, but make sure you sample some tacos, especially the shredded chicken.Yelp/ Axel B.
Tennessee: Barbacoa, Carniceria Y Taqueria Don Juan (Nashville)
At Don Juan, the menu is painted onto the side of the building and you order your food through a small window. The small taco you're handed is every bit as good as you hoped it would be. Simply topped with a smattering of diced onions and cilantro and served with a wedge of lime, these tacos are definitely legit - and an absolute steal at $1.25. Make sure you try the barbacoa, rich shredded beef.Photo by Joe K. via Yelp
Texas: El Conquistador, Tacodeli (Various Locations)
Austin without Tacodeli, which has ten locations, just wouldn't be the same. Its made-from-scratch sauces are works of art, and its most popular taco, El Conquistador, is a perfect showcase for the house chile pasilla sauce. Mixed in with shredded, slow-roasted pork shoulder topped with avocado, cilantro, and onion, all wrapped in a fresh flour tortilla, it's the star of a taco you'll be dreaming about. Go for lunch - all Tacodeli locations are only open until 3 p.m.Yelp/ Desiree A.
Utah: Carnitas, Tacos Don Rafa (Salt Lake City)
The crowds line up every day to get their tacos from this small cart, and its loyal devotees will tell you that these are the absolute best tacos around. They're cheap (75 cents!) and delicious, and the crispy and flavorful carnitas will most likely become your favorite. Don't miss the nearby cooler that's filled with a wide selection of toppings and salsas.Photo by Jesus R. via Yelp
Vermont: Chile Colorado, The Mad Taco (Waitsfield)
Located in a quiet corner of central Vermont, The Mad Taco is serving wildly good tacos and craft beer to crowds of thankful locals. Ingredients are sourced as locally as possible, and they even smoke their own pork and chicken. There are some surprising menu items, but sample them and you'll be rewarded. The Chile Colorado, for example, is made with rich and flavorful shredded pork topped with onion, cilantro, and avocado; it's a must-order.Photo by Amanda M. via Yelp
Virginia: Chorizo, Tacos El Chilango (Arlington)
The best tacos in Virginia can be found at a food truck called Tacos El Chilango in Arlington, right outside D.C. This unassuming truck, located on the side of a residential road, is serving a traditional variety of $2 tacos: steak, chicken, tongue, al pastor, and chorizo, all grilled on a flat-top to order and served atop two flour tortillas with onion, cilantro, and homemade hot sauce if you want it (you want it). Go for the chorizo: It's just spicy enough, just oily enough, and insanely flavorful with a perfect crisp from the grill.Photo by Chuck N. via Yelp
Washington: Fish, Essex (Seattle)
Taco & Tiki Tuesdays at Essex have Seattle residents all in a tizzy every week as they clamor to get their hands on chef Ricardo Valdes' excellent tacos. The lamb and chicken versions get a lot of praise, but everyone agrees that the fish tacos are not to be missed. The flour tortillas are made by hand, and the fresh fish is cooked in Valdes' wood-burning oven. The result? Winner winner fish taco dinner!Photo by ros k. via Yelp
Washington, D.C.: Carnitas Estilo Michoacan con Salsa de Tomatillo, Oyamel
Just about anything chef José Andrés makes turns to gold, and that can certainly be said of his tacos. At Oyamel, his now-legendary Mexican restaurant in D.C., tortillas start out as heirloom Mexican corn and are ground in-house daily and cooked to order. Shredded pork, sautéed mushrooms, braised beef, shredded goat, grilled chicken, cobia, house-cured pork belly, and even grasshoppers all make for delicious fillings, but you absolutely must try the carnitas Michoacán: slow-cooked shredded confit of suckling pig topped with green tomatillo salsa, onions, cilantro, and pork rinds for that extra crunch. It'll stop you dead in your tracks.Photo by Oyamel Cocina Mexicana via Yelp
West Virginia: Fish, Maria's Taqueria (Shepherdstown)
Northern Virginia native Maria Allen opened Maria's on a whim after graduating from local Shepherd University, and it became a hotspot almost immediately, necessitating a recent move into bigger digs. The reason? The food here is fresh, scratch-made, and tasty, and there's an expansive menu that will make just about anyone happy. The fish taco is a real crowd-pleaser in particular: Crispy fried cod is tucked into a soft flour tortilla and topped with cilantro, jalapeño aïoli, and spicy cabbage slaw.Photo by Kelly L. via Yelp
Wisconsin: Carne Asada, Taqueria Guadalajara (Madison)
The small and unassuming Taquería Guadalajara, one block from Monona Bay, is a beloved institution in a city not known for its culinary diversity, and during peak times the line can stretch out the door. The secret to its success? Using all fresh ingredients and making all of its proteins in small batches. This is most evident in the juicy carne asada made with high-quality local beef and grilled until a perfect medium.Yelp/ Joshua B.
Wyoming: Carne Asada, Jan Juan (Jackson)
There's actually no shortage of decent taquerias in Wyoming, and the best of all is San Juan, formerly known as Sanchez. Owners Maria and Rigoberto Sosa, who hail from Guerrero, Mexico, and purchased the restaurant from its previous owners in 2014 after working there for 12 years, transformed the space from a humble taqueria into a full-service Mexican restaurant, taking over the adjacent outdoor seating area and acquiring a liquor license. Peek into the kitchen and you'll see the Sosas turning out tacos, enchiladas, tortas, quesadillas, with a wide variety of fillings, based on their old family recipes. Tacos come filled with your choice of beef or pork al pastor, carne asada, chorizo, rosemary pork, grilled chicken, shrimp, and a variety of specials; along with some fantastic burritos.

Dermal Fillers Services
Dermal fillers are used for facial aesthetic treatments and are injected into the skin. They are designed to effectively reduce the appearance of unwanted wrinkles, contour and create volume, and to revitalise the skin. Dermal fillers are based on Hyaluronic acid which is a substance that naturally exists in your body. Dermal fillers revitalise and add volume to the skin, instantly diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and giving a natural softer look
The result of a single treatment can be seen instantly and can last for around 6 to 9 months. Dermal filler injections can give a natural looking result that does not affect facial expression
Dermal fillers can be used to smooth away facial lines and wrinkles, create fuller lips and shape facial contours, such as cheeks and chin, and revitalise the skin.

• Between the eyebrows (the frown or glabella lines)
• Lips

Bruce has a second monitor set up on his computer just so he can open all of Photoshop's palettes on it and free up his primary monitor's precious space. There's little doubt that palettes are both incredibly important and yet incredibly annoying at times. Fortunately, Photoshop has some built-in but hidden features that make working with palettes a much happier experience. For instance, palettes are "sticky" -- if you move them near the side of the monitor or near another palette, they'll "snap-to" align to that side or palette. (Even better, you can hold down the Shift key while you drag a palette, to force it to the side of the screen.) This (if nothing else) helps you keep a neat and tidy screen on which to work.
Tip: Make the Palettes Go Away.
If you only have one monitor on which to store both your image and Photoshop's plethora of palettes, you should remember two keyboard shortcuts. First, pressing Tab makes the palettes disappear (or reappear, if they're already hidden). We find this absolutely invaluable, and use it daily.
Second, pressing Shift-Tab makes all palettes except the Tool palette disappear (or reappear). We find this only slightly better than completely useless; we would prefer that the keystroke hid all the palettes except the Info palette.
Tip: Making Palettes Smaller.
Another way to maximize your screen real estate is by collapsing one or more of your open palettes. If you double-click on the palette's name tab, the palette collapses to just the title bar and name (see Figure 1). Or if you click in the zoom box of a palette (the checkbox in the upper-right corner of the palette), the palette reduces in size to only a few key elements. For instance, if you click in the zoom box of the Layers palette, you can still use the Opacity sliders and Mode popup menu (but the Layer tiles and icons get hidden).
Figure 1 Collapsing palettes
Tip: Mix and Match Palettes.There's one more way to save space on your computer screen: mix and match your palettes. Palettes in Photoshop have a curious attribute: you can drag one on top of another and they become one (see Figure 2). Then if you want, you can drag them apart again by clicking and dragging the palette's tab heading. (In fact, these kinds of palettes are called "tabbed palettes.")
Figure 2 Mixing and matching palettes
Photoshop 6 offers one more way to combine palettes: by docking them. Docking a palette means that one palette is attached to the bottom of another one. Docked palettes always move together, and when you hide one they both disappear. To dock one palette to another, drag it over the other palette's bottom edge; don't let go of the mouse button until you see the bottom edge of the palette become highlighted.
Tip: Reset Palette Positions.
Every now and again, your palettes might get really messed up-placed partly or entirely off your screen, and so on. Don't panic; that's what Reset Palette Positions (at the bottom of the Window menu) is for. In earlier versions, this feature was hidden as a button labeled "Reset Palette Locations to Default" in the Preferences dialog box.

Zip lining is no longer something you can only do while on an exotic vacation in the rainforest; it's an exhilarating experience you can find right here in Wisconsin.
We'll start in beautiful Door County where Gravity Trails offers a zip lining adventure for people 8 years and older. The tour itself lasts one to two hours depending on the size of your group. On your trip, you'll soar over wooded areas, ponds and sand dunes. For a special treat, take part in the Twilight ZipLine. You'll walk the trail to the Zipline with candlelight and glowsticks before ascending a climbing wall to a 20-foot platform. Then, you'll descend like a shooting star.
Northwoods Zip Line in Minocqua offers, well, a real northwoods adventure. On this canopy tour, which is designed in and around 100-foot-tall towering pines, you'll have a bird's eye view of the northern Wisconsin forests . With nine zip lines, six adventure bridges and a chance to zip over a lake this will be a mile-long thrill ride you won't forget.
For more ziplining fun, head south to Lake Geneva where you'll find two amazing courses. Aerial Adventures offers a 200, 300 and 600-foot-long zip line. If you're heading to the 300-foot zipline, you'll start with a 40-foot tower climb that includes a balance beam and a platform. For the 600-foot adventure, you'll ascend a 50-foot-high vertical playground with a dozen different climbing elements all designed to get you to the top. This course is located next to the Walworth County Bike Trail.
Nearby you'll also find Lake Geneva Canopy Tours, a unique eco-adventure for all ages. The folks here guarantee memories to last a lifetime on their eight thrilling ziplines. Between zips, participants can enjoy spectacular views of the forest, Lake Como and the surrounding countryside. You may even learn a little something about the local flora and fauna. This 100-acre adventure forest is home to deer, fox, turkeys, hawks, eagles and other Wisconsin wildlife. For a real adrenaline rush, try the 1,200-foot-long Dual Racing Zipline.
In Wisconsin Dells you'll find Bigfoot Zipline Tours, Wilderness Canyon Zip Line Canopy Tour and Vertical Illusions.
Bigfoot offers seven lines with more than 6,000 feet of soaring through the air. The course covers 30 acres and sends you sailing over the water and through the woods.
Wilderness Canyon is located on the Wilderness Resort grounds and provides five zip lines strewn from six towers hovering 60 feet in the air.
At Vertical Illusions, adventurous people will head to the top of Chimney Rock Park, a 500-foot bluff with 100 mile views, stunning plants and curious wildlife. There, you'll ride from 18 tree-to-tree zip lines without touching the ground or climbing any stairs.
So grab your courage and zip your way to an unforgettable time!

Unlike other consumer robots that are typically smaller and can only operate on flat surfaces at home, Loomo is designed to handle all types of terrain including grass and bumpy road surfaces. As such, Loomo can be used both indoors and outdoors and is the most versatile robot companion for you to take on adventures. Ride Loomo to the park, where it'll recognize you and your friends and follow you autonomously. Gesture to Loomo and have it take a picture of your picnic party, before making everyone laugh with its wit and personality. Loomo will be your very own personal robot companion.
With enhanced computer vision, depth sensing and other AI-driven capabilities, Loomo has the ability to recognize items such as objects, faces, and voice, enabling it to seamlessly interact with its user and the environment. And this is only the beginning. New features will be pushed out every month after launch, so that your robot companion will continue to get smarter over time. Its Android-based platform allows 3rd party developers to build exciting new features based on Loomo's mobility and AI foundation. Our robust community has already attracted top developers such as Intel, BMW, and Stibo Accelerator, and it is open to anyone interested in helping to bring Loomo's future features to life.
Segway Robotics has also been working closely with enterprise partners, leveraging Loomo Go – a hardware extension of the existing Loomo platform where the robot pulls along a delivery box – to help solve the last mile delivery problem. Initial pilots indicate positive results, achieving efficiency and cost savings for companies while also improving the end consumer's experience. Use cases for Loomo enterprise are not limited to delivery however, but also include surveillance, security, retail, medical treatment, and a whole range of other commercial applications.
Li Pu, President of Segway Robotics, comments: "In 2017 we experienced a giant leap forward in terms of AI and are excited by the endless possibilities that Loomo developers have shown us. There is a strong demand for robot products given the increasing alignment in technology, functionality, reliability, and price. We feel that this adoption will pick up further in 2018, with robotics applications becoming popular in various industries and everyday life.

Another classic dish zapped by HG's magic wand, and the results are INSANE (in a good way, of course). Happy Valentine's Day! Ingredients: 1 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown) 1/2 cup fat-free chicken broth 1/4 cup marsala wine 1 tsp. cornstarch 1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms Two 5-oz. raw boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness 1/4 tsp. each salt and black pepper 1/4 tsp. dried basil Directions: In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter for 10 seconds, or until melted. In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter, broth, wine, and cornstarch until cornstarch has dissolved. Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Cook and stir mushrooms until softened, 5 - 7 minutes. Move mushrooms to the sides of the skillet. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and basil, and lay in the center of the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring mushrooms occasionally. Flip chicken. Give broth mixture a stir and add to the skillet. Stirring mushrooms occasionally, cook until sauce has thickened and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve it and love it! MAKES 2 SERVINGS
Serving Size: 1/2 of recipe (1 cutlet with sauce and mushrooms) Calories: 240 Fat: 4g Sodium: 785mg Carbs: 8.5g Fiber: 0.5g Sugars: 4.5g Protein: 34.5g PointsPlus® value 5*
HG Tip! To pound a chicken cutlet, lay it between two pieces of plastic wrap or place it in a sealable bag, squeeze out the air, and seal. Then use a meat mallet to pound it.
When it comes to popular restaurant meals, chicken marsala is pretty high on the list. Maybe it's because "marsala" sounds fancy and is fun to say. Maybe it's because in order to make it at home, you need marsala wine -- not exactly something everyone has lying around. Or maybe it's just because it's crazy-delicious. Regardless, restaurant orders of the stuff can get you into some calorie-related trouble. Not only is the chicken typically "floured" and oily, but also the sauce is made of reduced wine (read: condensed calories) and lots of butter. Add in side dishes (it's frequently served with potatoes or pasta), and that meal's calorie count just got CRAZY-HIGH. The average chicken marsala entrée at a restaurant has 950 calories and 49g fat (PointsPlus® value 25*)! Skip all that and get schmancy in your own home. This dish is way easy to make, marsala wine is NOT hard to locate, and we think that this foil-pack recipe for Brussels sprouts and baby red potatoes would make a superb two-serving side for this dinner. Get cookin', fancy-pants...
Serving Size: 1 portion, no sides Calories: 469 Fat: 29g Sodium: 795mg Carbs: 10.5g Fiber: 1g Sugars: 5g Protein: 35.5g PointsPlus® value 12*

American Chemical Society to honor UT Arlington chemist
UT Arlington associate professor Kevin Schug will be recognized next year at the international laboratory science conference Pittcon 2013 for his outstanding contributions to analytical chemistry, the conference's organizing committee announced this week.
Schug will receive the American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry Award for Young Investigators in Separation Science. His award is among 12 different honors that will be presented during symposiums at Pittcon 2013, which is scheduled March 17-21 in Philadelphia.
"It is a great honor to be selected for this prestigious award from the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry and to join the ranks of great scientists who have won this award before me," said Schug, who is also the Shimadzu Distinguished Professor of Analytical Chemistry at The University of Texas at Arlington. "My goal is to make this a sign of the great things still to come from our group in the future."
Schug, who joined the College of Science in 2005, received a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Program or CAREER award in 2009 and the 2010 Eli Lilly Young and Company Young Investigator Award for Analytical Chemistry. He is also director of the Shimadzu Center for Advanced Analytical Chemistry at UT Arlington.
Schug's group at UT Arlington performs a variety of analytical chemistry research along both fundamental and applied paths. Some examples of the team's work include developing increased throughput mass spectrometry methods for drug discovery and ultra-trace quantitative analysis methods for small molecules in biological fluids. The team also has worked closely with North Texas medical schools to support preclinical and clinical trial studies related to treatment of traumatic brain injury and other maladies.
"We are proud to see this well-deserved recognition of Kevin Schug's scientific work," said Pamela Jansma, dean of the UT Arlington College of Science. "His contributions inside and outside the lab - from mentoring students to building relationships with industry - are critical to the success of the College of Science"
Schug is representative of the outstanding faculty at UT Arlington, a comprehensive research institution of more than 33,200 students and more than 2,200 faculty members in the heart of North Texas. Visit www.uta.edu to learn more.

When I was a K-4 teacher one of the most common questions I heard from parents concerned letter reversals. Are they normal? When should you worry that your child might possibly have a learning disability?
The answer I was trained to give was: "Don't be concerned about letter reversals until winter of third grade."
So, up until December of third grade, letter reversals are probably developmentally normal. After that, you should seek help. (More ideas one what to do if you suspect something is wrong with your child's learning here.)
In the meantime, if your child is mixing up some of the most common letters: b, and d, here's a quick tip.
Teach your child to spell "b –e –d" and make the thumbs up sign with both hands. That will show them which ways the b and d go.
This is a trick that kids (usually) love. I hope it works for you!

High Performance Schools are a key component in the drive toward zero energy buildings. Schools are symbolic of what we value as a society and the decision to embrace sustainability in the field of school construction is an indicator of our cultural priorities. Long after builders have come and gone, schools will continue to serve their purpose of communicating sustainable design principles. Tangible building attributes such as daylighting, automated fixtures, or photovoltaics allow for the school building itself to be used as a teaching tool. Further, a school's high occupancy profile presents a unique opportunity to deliver these values, not only to students, but also faculty, staff, and the community at large.
In support of productive, efficient and healthy learning environments, NEEP has led development of the Northeast Collaborative for High Performance Schools (NE-CHPS) Criteria. The criteria--which was originally developed in California and subsequently adapted to fit the building codes, climate, and educational priorities of the Northeast--is a prescriptive roadmap for sustainable school design. It contains categories including integrated planning, energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, site selection, and materials management. A handout is available here.
NE-CHPS is available as a standard for school construction and major renovation projects throughout the Northeast. The Rhode Island Department of Education also requires NE-CHPS for all new construction projects, or renovations costing more than $500,000. Additionally, the New Hampshire Department of Education will verify any NE-CHPS schools built in its state.
NEEP also supports the U.S. Department of Education's Green Ribbon Schools initiative. The Green Ribbon Schools program honors schools that exceed in reducing environmental impact and costs, improving the health and wellness of students and staff, and providing effective environmental and sustainability education.

Q: My child has head lice! I have gotten conflicting information on treatment. Are the over-the-counter medications safe to use? What other options do I have?
— Liz
Dear Liz,
I'm always a bit pedantic when it comes to environmental subjects, but it's nice to have a literal excuse to be nitpicky! So, thank you for the question.
Head lice — those tiny, wingless parasitic insects that live on the human scalp and glue their eggs to our hair — are practically inescapable. They can't fly, hop or jump, but they certainly can get around.
It is safe to expect that you (or more probably, your child) will get lice at least once. While social stigma and fallacious notions of hygiene attached to lice have somehow survived, the louse hath no prejudice. Long or short, curly or straight, clean or dirty, our hair and scalps provide the perfect environment for lice: just the right temperature, protection and moisture levels. Add the miniscule bit of blood they draw from us several times a day, and you've got a haven for Pediculus humanus capitis. Only the human head will do: they do not live anywhere else on the human body, or on animals, and can only survive about two days without feeding on human blood.
Lice may be a nuisance, but they are not a public health menace. Head lice aren't dangerous and don't spread disease. At worse, persistent scratching can cause the skin to become irritated or infected.
So what to do about these annoying, harmless, persistent creatures? Bathe our children in pesticides and nerve gas, of course!
Understand your toxins
Lindane, a neurotoxin, is commonly used as a pesticide. Known to cause cancer and harm the human nervous, reproductive and hormonal systems, lindane is one of the ingredients of choice in lice treatment products. The U.S. has banned lindane for some uses, and many countries have abandoned it altogether, but we continue to use it to kill lice. Of course, lice are usually found on children, whose developing bodies are particularly vulnerable to toxic threats. In the U.S., use of lindane on animals has been banned, but you can buy it for the human members of your family. Treatment with lindane can result in vomiting, seizures, brain damage, spontaneous abortion, learning problems, epilepsy and death. The pesticide is categorized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic pollutant — meaning it lingers for a long time in the environment, accumulates as it moves up the food chain, and is highly toxic to humans and wildlife. As the allowable limit for lindane in drinking water sources is 19 parts per trillion, a single treatment of lindane to kill head lice or scabies pollutes 6 million gallons of water.
Malathion, a nerve gas derivative often used for insect control, is considered safer than lindane. Malathion is an organophosphate and kills by interfering with the nervous system. It is considered an "unclassifiable carcinogen," neurotoxin, asthma trigger and suspected endocrine disruptor (meaning it affects normal hormone activity). Human exposure can cause nausea, dizziness, confusion, respiratory paralysis, and death. Although it is known to be readily absorbed by the skin, manufacturers have yet to measure how much malathion is absorbed from lice-killing applications. Nor have they bothered to find out if it is excreted in human milk, or even if it is safe or effective for children under six years of age. Have they studied its potential to impair fertility, cause cancer, and "muta-genesis"? No. Oh, and it is flammable, so the manufacturers warn people to stay away from flames, dryers, hair curlers, cigarettes, heaters…
Pyrethroids (permethrin, pyrethrin, et al) are synthetic pesticides that can cause pneumonia, muscle paralysis, death due to respiratory failure, vomiting, and asthma, and are toxic to the thyroid and immune system. No safe exposure level has been established for avoiding adverse effects, nor has the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) set an exposure limit. Though some pyrethroids have been banned from use in food production, they're still used in lice treatments. Lice sprays used in airplanes, schools and homes (bedding, carpet, furniture, etc.) usually contain permethrin. The practice of spraying against lice is considered unwarranted and ill-advised by all the major health organizations. Don't be fooled by claims that these pesticides are safe because they're made from chrysanthemum flowers: they are chemically engineered to be more toxic with longer breakdown times and are often formulated with synergists, which increase potency and further compromise the body's ability to eliminate the pesticides.
Lindane, permethrin, pyrethrin and malathion are just some of the dangerous toxins used in popular lice treatments like Ovide, Nix, RID and Kwell. A study by French medical researchers, published in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine, found exposure to insecticidal shampoos doubled children's risk of developing leukemia. No, it's not a conclusive connection, but why take the risk? A 1993 study in Missouri found children treated with Kwell — which contains lindane — are five times more likely develop brain cancer than children not treated for lice. Reports made to the FDA's Med Watch Program on the use of various lice treatments include accounts of seizures, behavioral changes, neuromuscular complaints, birth defects, attention disorders, chronic skin eruptions, cancer and death. Approximately two-thirds of the reports were related to the use of lindane. What fun! We tend to presume that the chemicals found in our everyday products, food and water are thoroughly tested and regulated, or that "other" and "inert" ingredients are harmless. Basic, sound presumptions — but mistaken.
The safest option
What's left? Nit-picking. Not the fast, easy solution any of us hope for, but it's reality. Even the most lethal lice treatments are not particularly effective (and are causing resistant "super-lice"). We need to stop thinking of these products as shampoos; they are insecticides.
To get rid of head lice, it's important to understand their life cycle. Repeated treatments are the norm. Eggs, or nits, hatch in 7-10 days and are more resistant than adults. They may require multiple treatments as they mature. To get rid of nits the first time 'round (and the second), fine-toothed combs, fingernails or tweezers are used. A tedious procedure, to be sure.
If you or your child gets head lice, remember that though lice are unpleasant, they neither transmit disease nor make us ill. The major hazard of head lice is enforced school absence. If your child's school has a no-nit policy, refer its administrators to the American Academy of Pediatrics, whose guidelines explicitly discourage such policies, as does the Harvard School of Public Health.
Be prepared, stay calm and cultivate as much patience as you can muster. If there are natural remedies that look appealing to you, don't wait until you've got lice in the house to purchase them. (We are much more likely to reach for poisons in a state of panic.)
When my kids came home crawling with lice, I turned to what we had on hand: olive oil, essential oils, rosemary and heat. A mixture of essential oils added to the kids' shampoo left the carnage of lice floating in the tub. High heat (such as a hairdryer) seems to be effective, and is increasingly an option of choice. Oils (edible ones, not fossil) or mayonnaise can help suffocate lice, and at the very least make combing out nits easier. Tea tree, eucalyptus and lavender oils are celebrated for their anti-lice traits, and have worked well for my family. Tea tree is particularly effective but strong — a little bit goes a long way.
There's no need to go crazy cleaning and sterilizing everything in the house: Lice don't want to be, and cannot survive, anywhere but on you. If there are items you are concerned about — like hats, pillows or carseat covers — put them in the dryer on high for a cycle or two. Vacuuming can't hurt, but spraying certainly can. I think you'd be more likely to kill yourself than the lice.

Click here for my scores for the 2012 House and Senate congressional candidates.
Graphs of the distributions can be found in this post, and an explanation of how I came up with these scores is in this post.
The fields in the spreadsheets are as follows:
- stdist: Congressional district for House candidates
- st: State abbreviation
- party: D, R, or X (independent)
- pid: –1,0,1 (equivalent to party)
- full.name: Self-explanatory; sorry for screwups with accent marks and the like.
- incumbent: 1 if incumbent, 0 if challenger
- crp.id: Center for Responsive Politics identification number
- npat.id: Project Vote Smart candidate id
- score: Candidate ideal point or ideological position estimated from survey response as described here
- sd: Measure of uncertainty around the point estimate in score
- perc: Percentile ranking within the pool of all 2012 candidates, House and Senate. So a percentile score of 84.5 for Mia Love (R) in Utah's 4th District indicates Love ranks as more conservative than 84.5% of all 2012 candidates.
- perc.r: Percentile ranking within the pool of 2012 Republican candidates, House and Senate. So Love scores 70.3, which indicates she is more conservative than 70.3% of all 2012 Republican candidates: that is, she is certainly quite conservative, even within her own party.
- perc.d: Percentile ranking within the pool of 2012 Democratic candidates, House and Senate. Love's opponent, Jim Matheson (D) with a percentile score of 1.6, indicating that he is more conservative than all but 1.6% of 2012 Democratic candidates. In other words, Matheson is extremely conservative for a Democrat, which is not surprising given the conservative character of Utah's 4th district.

Camille and Kennerly, a.k.a. the Harp Twins, are back with a hauntingly beautiful performance of The Walking Dead opening theme. You know, these ladies are extremely talented, both as musicians and composers, but not necessarily as zombie survivalists. Someone should tell them that when the undead attack an electric harp is just about the last thing you'd want strapped to your torso.

Police arrested Woubshet Taye, deputy editor of the weekly Awramba Times, and Reeyot Alemu, columnist for the weekly Feteh, on June 19 and 21, respectively, on vague accusations of terrorism. The journalists have been held for more than 65 days with no official charges placed against them and no access to legal counsel, local journalists told CPJ.
In a court hearing last month, Taye said state officials repeatedly tortured him while he was being interrogated in Maekelawi Prison in the capital, Addis Ababa, local journalists said. Ethiopia's constitution dictates that a suspect cannot be compelled to make a confession and that any evidence obtained under coercion is admissible. Taye is due back in court on September 13.
Alemu's overall health rapidly deteriorated during her detention at Maekelawi Prison, according to local journalists who visited her in prison. Her relatives were allowed to visit her and brought her medicine for chronic gastritis, which improved her condition somewhat. She is expected back in court on September 14, local journalists told CPJ.
"We are very disturbed by Woubshet Taye's allegations of torture and call on authorities to immediately investigate and bring to justice the perpetrators of this crime," said CPJ East Africa Consultant Tom Rhodes. "Authorities must also provide adequate medical treatment for Reeyot Alemu."
Ethiopia's July 2009 anti-terrorism law criminalizes any reporting considered supportive to groups that the government has labeled "terrorists." In June, the government formally classified five groups as terrorist entities, including the banned political party Ginbot 7.

cmroanirgo necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 165 diseños de 41 diseñadores freelance.
Goldfish is the brand name chosen to cover a new web 2.0 site that allows web site designers to add real-time feedback into their web pages, simply and easily. The site will be available at http://goldfishserver.com.
This technology can be used by webmasters in such a way that it makes them look that they have a big fancy hosting provider actually pushing their data (like Twitter or Google), when in fact they can run on any standard web host. The end user sees things change dynamically (eg. new emails arrive in the inbox, notification that new tweets have arrived).
Goldfish can be used for financial data (which is where the parent company Cognethos Pty Ltd http://www.cognethos.com developed this technology), simple turn-based games (such as Tic-Tac-Toe), chat rooms, auction sites and more.
We currently have a blog running at: http://blog.goldfishserver.com
Webmasters/designers of all classes. That is, males from teens to 30's who are technically savvy.
The logo doesn't need to have an orange goldfish on it, although that is an obvious choice (perhaps a black one is acceptable).
The logo needs to contain (or represent) the word 'Goldfish', and some image (eg a fish) such that the image can also be 'cut out' and used independently on it's own. An example of this can be seen at http://pivotaltracker.com, although the font, kerning, etc are completely up to the artist. It is acceptable to place the image outside the word 'Goldfish', or stylized inside it.
Goldfish is always spelled with a capital 'G' and lowercase letters afterwards.
The logo should have an alpha background so that we can later change the background color to suit the final colors of the website. The website will always use white/pale backgrounds and will never be black.
As such, no white 'edge' around the image would be accepted, unless it's a deliberate white border (eg >2 pixels thick), as this would look awful if we changed color scheme to pale blue or to pale green.
The final artwork should be supplied in a range of vector formats (eg .ai, .svg) and a range of 32-bit .png sizes.
EDIT: The image (eg a fish) needs to be energetic/edgy/wicked/vibrant/alive rather than cute/scared

In the ultimate game of survival, Ethan Zohn is still winning.
The reality TV star and winner of "Survivor: Africa" had "6.2 million" stem cells removed from his body in a three-hour period to be used when he undergoes a full stem-cell transplant to fight his second bout with cancer, People reports.
Zohn was first diagnosed with the rare form of cancer called Hodgkin's disease in April, but despite intense chemotherapy treatments, the cancer returned in August. Zohn explained in a video blog on People.com how the stem cell treatment works.
U.S. & World
"What happens is they take the blood out of this arm, it goes up through these tubes and over to that weird, Star Trek, 1950s console," the former athlete explained as he pointed to a centrifuge machine that separates undeveloped cells from his blood. "Then it's put back into my body through this arm."
The stem cells taken from Zohn's body will be frozen and stored as he undergoes intense radiation treatments to kill the cancer. During the transplant, the stem cells will be thawed out and put back into Zohn's body to form new blood cells that doctor's hope will save his life.

Who: Glee star Dianna Agron
Where: At the 2012 Giffoni Film Festival in Giffoni Valle Piana, Italy
Wearing: A printed Prada dress from the spring/summer 2012 collection, Miu Miu Noir glittery sunglasses, and thong flats with red stones finished off her look
Verdict: So, now I know why Miss Dianna wasn't at the Teen Choice Awards as she was enjoying the sunshine in Italy. At first glance I was worried that it was a little too relaxed for a film festival, I was thinking about the glamour of say Cannes, but I think she actually pulled this cute dress off really well – the bold print was a great touch.
But what draws my attention the most with this look has to be those incredible red glittery cat-eye shades, I seriously swooned when I saw them on her. I am a sunglasses addict and I am in love with these beauties.
What makes this even more perfect has to be the fact that they available on Net-a-Porter, so if you want to recreate Dianna's look during our mini heatwave you can snap them up, granted they are £225, tad pricey, but just think how pretty they will look!!! Pairing with a bold printed dress is optional – but it works rather well.
Do you love Dianna's look or do you wish she had gone a more glam? And tell me what you think of the Miu Miu shades – will you be snapping them up?

Surviving the Wandering Nightmare
It is unthinkable. It is every parent's worst fear. For a special needs parent or caretaker the mere thought of it can be crippling. You let your guard down for a moment. You turn your attention away from your loved one for an instant. He is gone.
As a police officer, I have seen that desperate look in the eyes of a parent many times. As a K9 handler, I have felt the almost unbearable burden of having a family's entire world resting on my shoulders. As an Autism Dad, I have also felt the knee-buckling terror of losing my child.
For neurotypical families, the dangers of wandering start to subside as their children reach the age of 5 or 6 years old. For many special needs parents and caretakers, however, the dangers remain throughout the teenage years and, often, well into adulthood.
The immediate actions taken by the caregiver of a wandering special needs individual are critical to the success or failure of the subsequent search. Unnecessary delays, inaccurate communication, or emotional paralysis can literally mean the difference between life and death. In this article, I will offer insights into the process of a missing persons search from the perspective of the police. I will also offer suggestions to more efficiently communicate with first responders and search personnel to maximize the chances for a successful outcome to our worst nightmare: a missing loved one with special needs.
For the purposes of this article, I will use the most typical wandering scenario: an individual wandering from his own home. Obviously, true to its name, ASD encompasses a spectrum of functional, behavioral and emotional challenges. I can only speak generally and offer some thoughts that are relevant to the largest possible segment of our community. I freely acknowledge that a lot of this is easier said than done. I have made many of the mistakes that I will mention and I, of all people, should know better. Please understand, I am not here to judge and I do not claim to know it all.
Time is the enemy
It is human nature, once the realization hits you that your loved one is missing, to start looking for him. The emotional process seems to include inherent barriers of acknowledgment that take time to break through. You first begin searching by yourself. Anywhere between two minutes (an eternity when your loved one is missing) and 10 minutes into your search you may think to enlist the help of your spouse, other children and members of your immediate family. Panic sets in and logical thinking becomes difficult. You check and recheck areas of your home and yard. Your search is random and inefficient. Then your imagination starts to run away. To be blunt: You are flailing much like a swimmer in a riptide. But the swimmer who gains control of his emotions and begins to think rationally is more likely to survive the ordeal.
Keep in mind that it is quite common to locate a "missing" special needs individual inside their home. Often they crawl into or under a bed, into a closet or behind furniture. They may be embarrassed, spiteful or scared. Sometimes they fall asleep, oblivious to the chaos around them. I have been involved with several large-scale missing persons searches that ended with a radio transmission advising the individual was found asleep in their room. Rule out this possibility quickly and efficiently, then ...
Call the Police!
I have been dispatched to searches HOURS old. I have seen families canvass neighborhoods on foot and in cars for hours, in full panic mode, before it occurs to them to report the matter to their police department. For some, a sense of embarrassment and failure as parents demands that they keep the matter private. For others, a fear of some legal ramification delays their action. For others still, it simply does not enter into their minds. When I briefly lost my son in a shopping mall a few years ago, I remember dreading the embarrassment among my peers. "I'm a cop. I don't lose my kid." I'm ashamed that emotion even entered my mind, but it is what it is. We are all human.
There are many reasons why delay at this stage is dangerous. Obviously, the longer the individual is missing the higher the chances he will encounter danger. As time increases, so does the distance he can travel. Daylight is precious in search work and must be treated as such.
Police tracking dogs are trained to smell and follow human scent. Although some police dogs, such as bloodhounds and some patrol dogs, can be trained for scent discrimination (ignoring all scents except the one presented to them through a scent article such as a worn shirt or hat), most are trained to track the freshest scent available to them. If a K9 officer brings his partner to your backyard and commands him to "track," who will he be tracking—your missing loved one or you and your family who walked around the yard countless times before calling the police?
Police, Fire and EMS departments have a vast array of resources and experience to bring to the table. The most valuable, however, is manpower. We are not coming to judge you and your family. We are here to help you. CALL US RIGHT AWAY.
Keep It Together
The minutes that pass as you wait for the police to arrive will be the longest of your life. It is unrealistic and unreasonable for me to suggest that you just sit and wait. Of course, you are going to keep looking for your loved one. But understand that the police will need quite a bit of information about you and your loved one when they arrive and you will be in no mood and no frame of mind to sit and provide this information when someone you love is missing. It will prove invaluable if you can prepare a lot of this information before hand and have it ready in case of such an emergency. Early in my K9 career I was given this Wanderer's Information Sheet. It is designed to cover Dementia patients as well as people with ASD. Just compete what is relevant. I suggest filling it out with as much detail as possible and stashing several copies in your home, your car, and with your extended family.
Know Your Loved One
A lot of the information on the Wanderer's Information Sheet is straightforward, identifying information for your loved one. Some of it, however, is not as intuitive and may not occur to the responding police officer to ask, unless he/she is experienced with ASD and missing persons searches. Offering this information will expedite the process.
Below is a list of questions you should not only be prepared to answer about your loved one, but prepared to proactively offer to the police (Don't assume the responding officer will think to ask these questions):
- Is he dressed appropriately for the weather?
- Will he keep clothing on appropriately (My son is notorious for taking his shoes off whenever he gets the opportunity)?
- Does he understand DANGER (water, traffic, heights, strangers)?
- Would he know to dial 911 or seek help if in danger?
- Does he fear strangers? The police?
- What was his mindset before wandering? Was he being disciplined?
- Does he think he will be in trouble when he is found?
- What excites him or catches his eye (water, movement, colors, sounds)?
- Is he drawn to animals such as dogs?
- Is he repulsed by any sights, sounds, smells, etc.?
- Does he have a typical concept of warm and cold (would he seek shelter if cold and wet)?
- Would he respond to the following questions? What if they were asked in a way not familiar to him?
1. "Where do you live" (as opposed to "What is your address?")
2. "What's your name?"
3. "Where are your mom and dad?"
4. "What is your phone number"?
5. "Are you OK?"
6. "Do you need help?"
- Will he answer to his name if called by a stranger? What if it is phrased differently? (My son will not always answer if we yell, "Eric?" But he will almost always reply if we yell, "Eric, where are you?" and will reply 100% of the time if we yell, "Eric, say 'yeah'").
- Does he make any idiosyncratic noises (My son makes a distinct "EEEEE" sound when he gets excited)?
Be Proactive
I think it's very useful to proactively visit your local police, fire and EMS departments and introduce your loved one to as many officers as possible. This will serve a couple purposes: First, it will hopefully dampen any fears he has toward these officers. In addition, it will allow the officers to interact with you and your loved one and get a feel for his behavior and abilities. Remember, this may be the officers' first experience with an individual on the autism spectrum.
It is also critical that you have easily accessible and up-to-date pictures of your loved one. You should keep both printed pictures and digital copies (saved on a flash drive) to ease the distribution to search personnel and the press if necessary.
Be Prepared
The police will quickly establish a command post, probably in your home or close by. It is imperative that at least one family member remain at the command post to answer questions as they arise and maintain contact with friends, family, neighbors, etc.
An Incident Commander will be named. He/she will probably be a ranking police, fire or EMS officer. He/she will be responsible for coordinating the search effort and keeping track of the areas that have been and need to be searched. If family members and friends are assisting in the search effort, it is imperative that they coordinate and maintain contact with the Incident Commander in order to avoid redundantly searching some areas and mistakenly missing other areas. As time progresses the search will grow larger in terms of area to be covered and personnel and equipment involved.
Prepare yourself for an extremely phrenetic and chaotic scene. There may be rescue vehicles, legions of volunteers, even helicopters circling your home. It will overwhelm you if you let it. The Search and Rescue personnel should understand that the presence of so many vehicles and people around your home may very well frighten your loved one away if he makes his way back to the area. Don't be afraid to mention that possibility and request that noise, emergency lights and extraneous personnel be moved from your property if at all possible.
Remember, we all get scared. It is a natural human emotion. Accept it and acknowledge it. But do not let it cripple you. There will be an army of volunteers ready to help you. Stay strong for your loved one and keep your composure. You are stronger than you think.
It pray that you never have to personally use this information. But I also pray that, if the unthinkable happens, this will help in some small way.
