There are many scenic drives in the United States, but only a few are truly iconic. Some wind through dramatic mountain ranges, others along one coast or another. Some take you to or through national parks, monuments and seashores. Others are part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's grassroots America's Byways program. All will make your jaw drop. Here are seven unforgettable routes — our picks as the most iconic drives in the United States.
1. Florida Overseas Highway
Built in the 1930s and rebuilt in the '80s, the 127-mile segment of U.S. 1 from Key West to Miami, an official Florida Scenic Highway, offers many breathtaking water views. The engineering marvel that is Seven Mile Bridge just about spans the distance implied by its name — a world record when Henry Flagler financed its construction in the early 1900s — between the middle and lower Keys.
2. Blue Ridge Parkway
This 469-mile road from Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina to Shenandoah National Park in Virginia is one of the South's most iconic drives. Highlights in Virginia include Rocky Knob and the Mabry Mill. In North Carolina, Mount Pisgah has a network of hiking trails and the historic Pisgah Inn.
3. San Juan Skyway and Million Dollar Highway
Cutting a route below numerous 14,000-foot peaks (aka "fourteeners") in Colorado's San Juan Mountains, this 233-mile loop takes you through three passes — all the while passing some of the most beautiful spots in the Rockies. From Durango, you head north through Molas Pass to Silverton. Then the stretch of U.S. 550 known as the Million Dollar Highway takes you through Red Mountain Pass to Ouray. From there, it's north to Ridgway and south to Telluride before heading over Lizard Head Pass to Dolores, Cortez and back to Durango.
4. Pacific Coast Highway
The serpentine California Highway 1, above and along the Pacific Ocean, is the Golden State's definitive drive. There are two stretches that are equally iconic: the 123-mile drive from Cambria to Monterey and the 140-mile chunk north of San Francisco, from Point Reyes National Seashore to Jenner and Mendocino, one of the West Coast's funkiest and most scenic towns.

Jim Carrey Movies
Arguably the top screen comedian of the 1990s, Canadian-born entertainer
Jim Carrey
has combined equal parts of his idol
Jerry Lewis
, his spiritual ancestor
Harry Ritz
, and the loose-limbed
Ray Bolger
into a gleefully uninhibited screen image that is uniquely his own.
's life wasn't always a barrel of laughs; he was born on January 17, 1962, into a peripatetic household that regularly ran the gamut from middle-class comfort to abject poverty. Not surprisingly,
became a classic overachiever, excelling in academics while keeping his classmates in stitches with his wild improvisations and elastic facial expressions. His comedy club debut at age 16 was a dismal failure, but
had already resolved not to be beaten down by life's disappointments (as his father, a frustrated musician, had been). By age 22, he was making a good living as a standup comic, and was starring on the short-lived sitcom The Duck Factory -- a series which curiously did little to take advantage of its star's uncanny physical dexterity.
Throughout the 1980s,
appeared in supporting roles in such films as
Peggy Sue Got Married
(1986) and
Earth Girls are Easy
(1990). Full television stardom came
's way in 1990 as the resident "white guy" on
Keenan Ivory Wayans
' Fox TV comedy
In Living Color
. The most popular of the comedian's many characterizations on the program was the grotesquely disfigured Fire Marshal Bill, whose dubious safety tips brought down the wrath of real-life fire prevention groups -- and also earned
the ultimate accolade of being imitated by other comics. 1994 proved to be "The Year of
," with the release of three top-grossing comedy films to his credit:
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
The Mask
, and
Dumb and Dumber
. By the end of the year,
was commanding seven to ten million dollars per picture. In 1995, the actor/comedian took over for
Robin Williams
as The Riddler in the blockbuster film
Batman Forever
, and, in 1996, he tried his hand at a darker and more menacing role as a maniacal cable repairman in
The Cable Guy
. The film, and
's at-times frightening performance, received decidedly mixed reviews from critics and audiences. Despite the generally negative response to the film,
still retained an interest in branching out into more dramatic roles.
Following a return to all-out comedy in
Liar, Liar
(1997) as a chronically dishonest attorney,
explored new territory with his lead role in the highly acclaimed
The Truman Show
Peter Weir
's eerie comedy drama about the perils of all-consuming media manipulation. Critical respect in hand,
returned to comedy of a different sort with the lead role in
Milos Forman
Man on the Moon
(1999), a much-anticipated biopic of the legendary comic
Andy Kaufman
. Although the film boasted a powerhouse performance from
, it earned less than stellar reviews and did poor business at the box office. Such was the strength of the actor's portrayal, however, that his exclusion from the Best Actor nominations at that year's Academy Awards was a source of protest for a number of industry members.
returned to straight comedy the following year with the Farrelly brothers'
Me, Myself & Irene
, in which he starred as a cop with a split personality, both of whom are in love with the same woman (
Renée Zellweger
). Though that film fared the least successful of the Farrellys' efforts to that point,
's anarchic persona was given seemingly free range and the result was his most unhinged role since
The Mask
. That same year, he assumed the lead role in Ron Howard's Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas, raking in the money at the box-office and receiving a Golden Globe nomination despite widespread critical-contempt for the film. Continuing to seek acceptance as a skilled dramatist,
next appeared in the 2001 box-office bomb
The Majestic
Undeterred by the failure of
The Majestic
returned again to both comedy and box-office success with 2003's Bruce Almighty. After handily proving that his power as a big-screen star was very much intact,
wasted no time switching gears once again as he embarked on his most ambitious project to date, the 2004 mind-bending romantic-dramedy Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Scripted by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Michel Gondry, the film garnered rave reviews and featured what was arguably
's most subtly complex and subdued performance to date.
's cartooney presence on screen would make him a natural fit for the kids' movie Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events in 2004, as well as other family films over the coming years like A Christmas Carol and Mr. Popper's Penguins. The actor would continue to explore dramatic roles, however, such as the dark thriller The Number 23 and the critically acclaimed I Love You, Phillip Morris. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The story centers on Ebenezer Scrooge (Jim Carrey), a penny-pinching miser who cares nothing for the people around him, least of all his hopelessly downtrodden employee Bob Cratchit (Gary Oldman) and infectiously optimistic nephew, Fred (Colin Firth). On Christmas Eve, after a frightening encounter with the ghost of his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley, Scrooge is visited by three spirits -- the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come -- who take him on an eye-opening journey to expose the truths he is reluctant to face. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Upon acquiring a mysterious book in which the number 23 seems to take on powerful cosmic significance, a once-sane man gradually becomes obsessed with the idea that the frequently recurring number may in fact hold a deadly secret in this intense mystery-thriller starring Jim Carrey and Virginia Madsen, and directed by Joel Schumacher. Walter Sparrow (Carrey) is a middle-aged dogcatcher whose wife Agatha (Madsen) has bestowed him with an obscure mystery novel detailing the investigation launched by a tough-talking gumshoe named Fingerling (also Carrey) whose every move seems to be overshadowed by the enigmatic eponymous number. After noting a series of alarming parallels shared between the fictional detective and himself, Walter is quickly drawn in to the story as the hard-boiled private investigator murders raven-wigged moll Fabrizia (also Madsen) and pins the crime on her unsuspecting lover (Danny Huston). Back in the real world, fiction seems to merge with reality as Walter and Agatha's close friend Isaac (also Huston) begins to ingratiate himself ever deeper into the couple's relationship and Walter begins experiencing a gruesome series of visions in which he violently murders an unfaithful Agatha. His mind fast descending into a dark and violent whirlwind of madness, Walter enlists the aid of Agatha and the pair's adolescent son Robin (Logan Lerman) in seeking out the author of the mysterious tome and uncovering the sinister truth behind the so-called "23 enigma." ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A not-so-ordinary family finds a new way of paying the bills in this comedy. Dick Harper (Jim Carrey) and his wife, Jane (Téa Leoni), would seem to have it made -- Dick has a high-paying job, they live in an expensive house in the suburbs, they have two luxury cars in the driveway, and a housekeeper, Blanca (Gloria Garayua), to help look after their son, Billy. But Dick and Jane's fairy-tale life crashes head-on into reality when the firm Dick works for turns out to have been using unscrupulous accounting methods to disguise the fact they've been losing money hand over fist, and Dick has been made the fall guy for some of their dirty dealings. Suddenly flat broke, Dick and Jane must find a new way to support their lavish lifestyle, and in time they discover just the thing -- crime. A remake of Ted Kotcheff's 1977 hit (which helped re-launch Jane Fonda's screen career), Fun With Dick and Jane also stars Alec Baldwin, John Michael Higgins, and Angie Harmon. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The best-selling series of subversive children's books from author Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler) come to the screen in this black comedy for the whole family (and how often do you get to see one of those?). The Baudelaire siblings -- gadget freak Violet (Emily Browning), bookworm Klaus (Liam Aiken), and baby Sunny (Kara Hoffman and Shelby Hoffman) -- were living a fairy-tale existence with their parents until they died in a fire that destroyed the family home. With few close relatives and a large fortune the children won't inherit until they reach adulthood, the Baudelaire children are left in the care of the peculiar Count Olaf (Jim Carrey), an out-of-work actor who would love nothing more than to get his hands on the kids' money. It doesn't take long for the children to figure out that Count Olaf is up to no good, and they try to steer clear of his various murderous schemes with the help of wildly paranoid Aunt Josephine (Meryl Streep) and snake-fancying Uncle Monty (Billy Connolly). Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events also features Catherine O'Hara, Timothy Spall, Cedric the Entertainer, and Luis Guzman; Jude Law narrates in the guise of author Snicket. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

After a bad day at work, a man suddenly gets a new job -- as the world's new Heavenly Father -- in this comedy. Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) is a television reporter working in Buffalo, NY, who has been growing increasingly dissatisfied with his existence, and after an especially bad day, he flies into a rage and curses God for making his life miserable. To Bruce's great surprise, the Supreme Being Himself (Morgan Freeman) appears, and tries to convince Bruce of the enormity of his task. Bruce, however, isn't buying it, so God gives him a chance to find out what he's up against; God bestows all of his powers on Bruce for a week, to see how he'd handle things. At first, Bruce has a great time bending the world around him to his will, much to the puzzlement of his girlfriend, Grace (Jennifer Aniston), but after six days God stops by to remind Bruce he hasn't done much to make the Earth a better place. Disappointed, God presents Bruce with an ultimatum -- he has one day to improve the world in a concrete way, or God will toss the planet back into the void. Bruce Almighty was directed by Tom Shadyac, who previously teamed with Jim Carrey for Liar, Liar and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Director Frank Darabont created this Frank Capra-inspired drama based on a screenplay by his friend and one-time schoolmate Michael Sloane. Jim Carrey stars as Pete Appleton, a screenwriter in the Hollywood of the 1950s. Pete's on top of the world with his first motion picture "Sand Pirates of the Sahara" just released to theaters and his romance with a beautiful starlet (Amanda Detmer) heating up. However, his triumph turns to dismay when he's called before the commie-hunting House Un-American Activities Committee and advised by a studio lawyer and his agent to play ball with the witch hunters. Depressed by the film industry's weak-kneed reaction to the hearings, Pete gets drunk and drives his car north along the California coast, where he crashes from a bridge and wakes up on shore the next morning suffering from amnesia. Wandering into the nearby small town of Lawson, Pete is mistaken for Luke Trimble, a lost hero of World War II who, like most of the area's young men, never returned from the war a decade earlier. "Luke" has soon reunited with both his father (Martin Landau) and his one-time girlfriend (Laurie Holden), and finds that his reappearance has given the citizens of Lawson an emotional boost that's sorely needed. When he refurbishes and reopens his family's decrepit movie theater, the Majestic, Luke revitalizes Lawson just as his memory of his true identity begins to reassert itself. Sloane's original script for The Majestic (2001) was entitled The Bijou. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

On October 20, 2001, some of the biggest names in popular music appeared at New York's Madison Square Garden in a special marathon concert to raise funds, and to pay tribute to the firefighters and police officers who gave their strength, their courage, and in some cases their lives to help the victims of this tragedy. The Concert for New York is a video that documents this historic evening. Musicians include Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bono, and many more. The long list of celebrity presenters includes Rudy Giuliani, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Halle Berry.

Six years after Dumb and Dumber, Jim Carrey reunited with Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly for this anarchic comedy with a hint of romance. Charlie (Carrey) is a good-natured Rhode Island state trooper who likes helping people. But years of internalizing his frustrations about his work and his family have caused Charlie to develop an alter ego: Hank, an abusive, violent, sexually compulsive police officer. Charlie can keep Hank at bay with medication, but just barely. When Irene (Renee Zellweger) finds herself in legal trouble through a series of misunderstandings involving her ex-boyfriend, Charlie must escort her on a long drive to New York for questioning. After Charlie loses his medication, he and Hank wind up vying for her affections: Charlie wants Irene to marry him, while Hank has more brutal intentions. Me, Myself, and Irene also features Chris Cooper, Robert Forster, and Jessica Harper, as well as Anthony Anderson, Mongo Brownlee, and Jerod Mixon as Charlie's rotund, African-American sons. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

He's mean, he's green, and he's doesn't like the Yuletide season one bit -- Jim Carrey stars in this live-action adaptation of the classic children's story by Dr. Seuss (aka Theodore Geisel). High atop Mt. Crumpet, the Grinch (Carrey) observes the residents of Whoville joyously preparing to celebrate Christmas. The Grinch was born in Whoville years ago, but was shunned due to his scary appearance, and his unrequited love for Martha May Whovier has turned him bitter; the good cheer of the Whos has been a thorn in his side ever since. Finally the Grinch decides he's had enough of all this happiness, and with the wary aid of his dog Max, the Grinch conspires to steal Christmas from Whoville, making off with their presents, holiday decorations, Christmas trees, and everything else used to enjoy the holiday. Molly Shannon, Christine Baranski, Jeffrey Tambor, and Clint Howard play several of the citizens of Whoville, while Anthony Hopkins narrates (taking over from the late Boris Karloff, who memorably read Dr. Seuss' story in Chuck Jones' 1966 animated adaptation of the story).

Comedian Andy Kaufman gave performances that were bizarre and difficult to categorize, in which he might do or say almost anything: show cartoons, impersonate Elvis Presley, play conga drums while singing children's songs, read aloud from The Great Gatsby, or take the audience out for milk and cookies. Written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski and directed by Milos Forman (the team behind The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996)), this biopic takes an in-depth look at Kaufman's life and art, with Jim Carrey as Kaufman, who could (and would) be any number of different people onstage: the quiet and childlike man, the little foreign guy, the overbearing showbiz "professional," the violently obnoxious wrestler, or the world's worst lounge singer. As Kaufman rose from comedy clubs to guest appearances on Saturday Night Live and a spot on the TV sitcom Taxi, his performances became more complex and dangerous -- so much so that when word got out in 1984 that he was suffering from lung cancer, many fans and associates thought it was just another bizarre stunt; the disease took his life later that year. Man on the Moon features Danny De Vito as Kaufman's manager George Shapiro, Courtney Love as his girlfriend Lynne Margulies, Paul Giamatti as his friend Bob Zmuda, and David Letterman, Judd Hirsch, Marilu Henner, Carol Kane, and Christopher Lloyd as themselves. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This comedy-drama features a narration by Jim Carrey, looking back to childhood in a manner similar to the narration on TV's The Wonder Years. The film is the directorial debut of writer Mark Steven Johnson, scripter of Grumpy Old Men and its sequel. Johnson adapted only a small portion of John Irving's 600-page novel A Prayer for Owen Meany (1989), but Irving requested a credit other than "based on" and also asked that the character name of Owen Meany be changed. So Owen became Simon Birch -- which then required a title change. In the title role is 11-year-old Ian Michael Smith, who is afflicted with Morquio's syndrome, a genetic disorder which causes dwarfism. The story begins when Joe Wenteworth (Jim Carrey) visits the grave of his childhood friend Simon Birch, whose stone is marked 1952-64. Joe explains that Simon is "the reason I believe in God." This is followed by a flashback to their friendship during the early '60s. In Gravestown, New Hampshire, young Joe Wenteworth (Joseph Mazzello) doesn't know who his father is, and his loving mother Rebecca (Ashley Judd) won't tell him. Joe's best buddy is young Simon Birch, born so tiny that his classmates pass him about like a "doll." Neglected at home, Simon turns to Rebecca as a surrogate mother, and he often has dinner with the Wenteworths. One night, Rebecca brings her friend Ben Goodrich (Oliver Platt) home for dinner, which annoys her crotchety mother (Dana Ivey). Later, the lives of the two 12-year-olds receive a cruel twist, and the two then become more curious to learn the secret of Joe's father. Shown in competition at the 1998 Montreal Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Peter Weir directed this comedy-drama, a commentary on all-pervasive media manipulation. Scripted by Andrew M. Niccol (Gattaca), the film plays like a combination of the British TV series The Prisoner and Paul Bartel's The Secret Cinema. Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) is unaware that his entire life is a hugely popular 24-hour-a-day TV series. In this real-time documentary, every moment of Truman's existence is captured by concealed cameras and telecast to a giant global audience. His friends and family are actors who smile pleasantly at Truman's familiar catchphrase greeting, "In case I don't see you later, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!" Employed at an insurance company, Truman is married to merry Meryl (Laura Linney), and they live in the cheerful community of Seahaven, an island "paradise" where the weather is always mild and no unpleasantness intrudes. This is the basic situation of the series, which has grown over the years into a billion-dollar franchise for the TV network. As an unwanted pregnancy, Truman was adopted by the network and raised in the zoolike environment of a TV soundstage. Thus, the TV audience became hooked when Truman was very young. Now, at age 30, he still doesn't know he's a prisoner on an immense domed city-size soundstage, simulating Seahaven. Both the illusion and the ratings will collapse if Truman ever leaves Seahaven. In addition to elaborate events staged to make sure he stays put, Truman is given constant reminders of how wonderful Seahaven is compared to dangers in other parts of the world. However, his growing suspicions make him curious enough to try to leave, and the show's director and master manipulator Christof (Ed Harris) must constantly devise ways to thwart Truman's escape attempts. To enter the harbor, Truman must overcome his fear of water, intentionally instilled in him when his father "died" in a boating accident and was written out of the script. Exteriors were filmed in the Victorian-styled upscale community of Seaside, Florida. In addition to the Burkhard Dallwitz score, original music by Philip Glass and classical excerpts are also featured. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

This documentary captures studio sessions for the recording (issued October 1998 by MCA), and also features conversations about the selected songs and concepts, as Martin works closely with his chosen talents, opening with Phil Collins (Golden Slumbers) and then moving on to Robin Williams/Bobby McFerrin (Come Together), Goldie Hawn (A Hard Day's Night), Jim Carrey (I Am the Walrus) and John Williams (Here Comes the Sun).

An attorney who tells the truth for 24 hours straight? This has got to be the movies! Fletcher Reede (Jim Carrey) is a lawyer obsessed with his career, and he's devoted his life to bending the truth to his advantage. This habit has broken up his marriage to Audrey (Maura Tierney) and isn't doing much good for his relationship with his young son Max (Justin Cooper). Fletcher repeatedly promised Max that he'll be there for Max's eighth birthday party, but when an important assignment comes up at work, Fletcher calls Audrey and makes an excuse so flimsy that even Max can see through it. When it comes time to blow out the candles on his cake, Max makes a wish: that his Dad could go just one day without telling a lie. Suddenly, Max finds himself physically incapable of saying anything that isn't true -- which, given the divorce settlement case he's just been handed, is going to make his next day in court very interesting indeed. While designed to show off a warmer and more likable side of Jim Carrey's personality, Liar Liar still revels in the broad physical comedy that made Carrey a star in Ace Ventura, Pet Detective -- which makes sense, since both were directed by Tom Shadyac.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Ware is expected to miss up to one month with a quadriceps injury suffered Sunday night against the Washington Redskins.
Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray is also expected to miss next Sunday's game against Philadelphia with a sprained knee, CBSSports.com reported. However, Murray may be able to return the following week against Detroit.
Ware's injury is expected to sideline him longer.
If Ware doesn't suit up Sunday as expected, it would be the first game he has missed in his career, breaking a streak of 134 consecutive starts.
Dallas was already without Pro Bowl left defensive end Anthony Spencer and nose tackle Jay Ratliff. Both are likely out for the season.

100 Years Ago: Cancer's Roots
Scent of a Human
We now know that a single-celled sporozoan of the Plasmodium genus causes malaria. It was discovered to be a parasite in 1880, by Alphonse Laveran, a French army surgeon in Algeria, and its transmission by the mosquito was first demonstrated in 1897 by Ronald Ross, a British officer in the Indian Medical Service. As you read this article you sense the struggle to understand the parts of the puzzle of this disease (and other diseases transmitted also by mosquitoes and bad hygiene). With our hindsight from 2011 we can quickly grasp that it is the terrain most favorable to mosquitoes that tends to be the most prone to malaria.
It is difficult for us to realize the fact, but we all know that any soldier is in five times more danger of dying from malarious disease than of being killed in battle.
What malaria is nobody knows. It may consist of organisms, either animal or vegetable, too minute for even the microscope to detect or it may be some condition of the atmosphere in relation to electricity, or temperature, or moisture; or it may be a gas evolved in the decay of vegetable matter. The last is the most common hypothesis, but it is by no means proved, and it has some stubborn facts against it. There is no doubt, however, that malaria is some mysterious poison in the atmosphere, and that it is confined strictly to certain localities. It seems to favor valleys rather more than mountains; though the hills of Staten Island and the high lands about Greenwood Cemetery are as full of it as the Valley of the Mississippi. It is not a disease peculiarly of new countries. The region directly south of Rome, called the Campagna, is one of the most malarious localities in the world, and it was settled at least 700 years before the Christian era. On the other hand, the State of Rhode Island and the other parts of New England that are now free from malaria, were always free from it. The inhabitants of paved cities are almost entirely exempt from attacks of malaria. New York city is situated in a malarious district, and beyond the pavements fever and ague is common. In the fall before work was commenced on the Central Park the writer of this had occasion to enter all of the houses on that 700-acre tract of land, and in almost every one of them one or more of the inmates were suffering from fever and ague. In the paved portions of the city, however, the disease is seldom met with.
The mildest type of malarious disease is intermittent fever, called, at the West, dumb ague. It is the same as fever and ague, only that the fever is not preceded by a chill or followed by perspiration. Every one, two, or three days, usually at the same hour of the day, the patient experiences a moderate attack of fever, lasting an hour or two, and the rest of the time he feels about as well as usual.
The next type in severity is the most common form of the disease, the ordinary fever and ague. For an hour or more the patient is shivering and shaking with cold, frequently so violently as to make his teeth chatter ; and this is as likely to occur in the hottest part of the day as at any other time. Presently the chill subsides and is succeeded by a violent, burning fever, which lasts usually three or four hours, and is followed in the graver forms of the disease by a copious perspiration.
When the paroxysms of fever become so prolonged as to extend from one to the other, and occupy all of the time, the disease is called bilious fever. It still preserves its periodical character; at certain hours of the day the fever is less violent than at others; and some physicians describe it as remittent fever.
Occasionally in all malarious districts, and frequently in those which are most infected, bilious fever manifests congestion as one of its symptoms. This is an accumulation and stagnation of the blood in one of the organs, usually in the brain, though occasionally in the lungs. This is the terrible congestive fever of malarious districts one of the most dangerous diseases known. Nearly all of the passengers who died on their way to California, died of this disease, contracted during their detention on the Isthmus.

Marsh Crab is it's name. You can't say it isn't the best if you haven't fished with it, and you will agree if you have. This deadly Redfish Fly is my favorite fly to use in the Louisiana Marsh and it works like a charm for every redfish I have cast it in front of. The advantage of this Redfish Crab Pattern is that it will always ride hook point up, it makes a realistic splash when you cast it and it is visible in almost any water condition. Redfish wolf this fly as soon as they see it. Elk hair is the material used for the body of this fly, however you can use deer hair just as easily. Capt Matt is a redfish fly fishing guide in the Louisiana Marsh throughout October, November and December, if you would like to sight fish for big Redfish in the Mississippi Delta Marsh, go to http://riplips.com Thanks for watching.

No need to be original.Being a copycat has benefitsImitation often gets a bad rap—takeimitation leather (not breathable)and imitation crabmeat (not enjoy-able). But in relationships, imitationcan be good—it can make you seemmore appealing. In experiments atRadboud University of Nijmegen inthe Netherlands, subjects interviewedby someone who subtly mirrored theirpostures gave bigger donations to acharity and were more likely to help aninterviewer. And in researchpublished in the Journal of Personalityand Social Psychology, students ratedinteractions with mimickers as smooth-er than those with nonmimickers;
they also considered mimickers morelikable. But while imitation may seemsimple, it can be tricky, warns RobertEpstein, Ph.D., lecturer and formereditor of Psychology Today. If peoplenotice what you're doing, they mayfind you manipulative. Epstein'sadvice: "Think smaller: If someonecrosses his or her legs, wait 5 to 10seconds, then cross your ankles." Ifsubtlety's not your strong suit, makenote of a person's mannerisms. Thentry a few mini-versions the next timeyou're together. —Melissa Gotthardt
Go for the Big O This sexy hormone can also improve your social life
Oxytocin, dubbed the "hormone of love," mayalso be the hormone of like. Though associated withromantic and maternal relationships—it soars duringsex and is plentiful in women who are in labor—newevidence is establishing the hormone as an all-aroundrelationship enhancer. Here's why: Oxytocin acts onmany areas of the brain, including the amygdala, a region responsible for emotions such as fear,anxiety, and distrust. "By calming the activity of the amygdala, oxytocin triggers feelings of safety,comfort, and empathy," says Paul J. Zak, Ph.D., founder and director of the Center for Neuro-economics Studies at Claremont Graduate University. That's a boon for romance, but oxytocinalso enhances social interactions, including those among family, friends, and acquaintances.
So how can you spark a surge? Human touch is one method, but other activities work, too. Studies show that pursuits such as playing with a pet can make oxytocin climb. Zak also recommends walking with a neighbor or calling a loved one. Plus, oxytocin increases your motivation to interact with others, so the more you produce, the more social opportunities you'll seek. —M.G.

Pissed Jeans / Honeys T-Shirt - 2073097
This Pissed Jeans shirt cuts straight through the garbage and let's people know what you're all about, and if you're anything like us, you're all about Pissed Jeans.
Black print on white 50/50 American Apparel tee.
Released: February 12, 2013
This product is bundled with the following products. Click the links for more info!
Pissed Jeans / Honeys - SP1029
Age and four full-lengths haven't mellowed Pissed Jeans; they can still unleash a blare that will exfoliate your cochlea. Formed in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Pissed Jeans released Shallow, their first album, in 2005 on Parts Unknown Records. The band relocated to Philadelphia seven years ago, and Sub Pop released Hope for Men in 2007, and then King of Jeans in 2009. The latter was recorded by Grammy nominee Alex Newport, who also recorded Honeys.
Age and experience have, however, refined Pissed Jeans. Their ideas and execution have become more subtly focused. The songs on Honeys are direct without being obtuse, evocative without being vague, personal without being indulgent. They also rock like nobody's business. Forget all the claptrap you've heard about other bands delivering the goods. If you want bloodthirsty, you've got it… At times Honeys is the sound of being bashed over the head with a snow shovel. At times the band slows down and sounds like waking from a nightmare you can't quite remember. The songs are catchy, but in a way that would appeal to mental patients who only understand colors.
Honeys stews on the kind of mundane, niggling things that keep you up late at night. It's an ode to the misery and shackles of being a responsible adult, and the shame of one's own narcissism. Pissed Jeans trucks in menacing songs about insecurity, and nobody has ever done it better.
TAKE NOTICE! The colored Loser edition seen in some photos above is long gone, but the glorious black vinyl is still available & worth your hard-earned cash all the same!
Vinyl LP comes with a digital download code inside the sleeve.
Released: February 12, 2013

Pissed Jeans / Pissed Jeans Owl - 2073099
The design on this Pissed Jeans shirt is an owl barber (owl clutching a comb & scissors) on navy blue American Apparel 100% cotton shirts. He's gonna cut ya (hair)!
Released: May 29, 2007
Pissed Jeans / Sam Kinison Woman - SP909
Pissed Jeans, Allentown, PA's not least favorite sons recently recorded two new songs, unassociated with nor otherwise promotionally leading up to any upcoming full-length album they have yet to record. These are just two exceptionally great new Pissed Jeans songs. They are called "Sam Kinison Woman" and "The L Word," and were recorded for this 7" single. That's it and that's enough.
Released: October 26, 2010
Pissed Jeans / Regal Jeans - 2073098
Featuring a regal design, and a colourway fit for a king, this new Pissed Jeans shirt will impress your serf-friends. On American Apparel 50/50 shirts, fit for a king.
Released: August 7, 2009
Pissed Jeans / King of Jeans - SP818
If 2005's Shallow was Pissed Jeans coping with moving out of their parents' homes, and 2007's Hope for Men their initial reaction to the mechanical lifestyle of a wage-earner, King of Jeans is their formal and uneasy acceptance of adulthood, by way of one hell of a rock record. Working with renowned producer Alex Newport (who holds a Fudge Tunnel pedigree and has worked with such luminaries as At the Drive-In, The Locust and Sepultura), Pissed Jeans have pushed further into the raw, minimal core of heavy rock music with King of Jeans. Masters of the mundane, beasts of the banal, high priests of the humdrum: these four, white, male high school graduates hardly look further than their own appendages for artistic inspiration, content to execute their own brand of brash and heavy punk music in the Joe Carducci-approved standard rock formation of guitar, bass, drums and vocals. From simple minds and simple fabrics comes this King of Jeans. And there can be only one.
Released: August 18, 2009
Pissed Jeans / Don't Need Smoke to Make Myself Disappear - SP718
Pissed Jeans are a rock and roll combo from Allentown, PA and this single is their first release on Sub Pop. They've previously released a full-length called Shallow and a 7" single ("Throbbing Organ" b/w "Night Minutes"), both on Parts Unknown Records. Because we have yet to read a better description (or come up with one ourselves…) of their music than the one provided by their singer Matt in an interview on blastitude.com, the following: "The idea was to start a different kinda punk band focused on dead ended carnal cravings, sexual depression…that sort of thing. Mainly we just wanted to bludgeon the listener with dull, monotonous droning rock music that just sucks the energy out of you, the musical equivalent to watching a toilet flush." We at Sub Pop Records could not possibly be more excited to release a full-length of this dull, monotonous droning rock music later this year. So, that's what we're going to do.
Released: June 6, 2006
Pissed Jeans / Hope for Men - SP730
Following on the heels of their monumental Don't Need Smoke to Make Myself Disappear 7", Pissed Jeans drop album number 2 and their Sub Pop debut: Hope for Men (we like to think of it in the "mankind" sense). For those who found a glimmer of the stuff on the aforementioned single (two pressings of which have sold out), the album delivers more, and in abundance. That is to say, if classic, thick-as-glue punk bombast and Aussie sludge stoke the coals of your existence, you have found, not only your new favorite band, but a reason to get up in the morning.
Since 2004 the Jeans have spent many a night playing in their hometown, no-rules hellhole, Allentown's legendary Jeff the Pigeon (RIP). Their first single, "Throbbing Organ" and album, Shallow (both on Parts Unknown) set many self-styled punk scholars' hearts a-flutter. Songs like "Ugly Twin" sent jaws floor-ward by including a plaintive piano part in a bruiser of a song. Such touches abound on Hope for Men. The album is diverse, but the Jeans ain't no dilettantes. Mixing volatility with humor is a damned hard thing to master in music. Pissed Jeans do it with smarts and poignancy. Consider the bar raised.
Pissed Jeans are:
Bradley Fry—guitar
Dave Rosenstraus—bass
Matt Korvette—vocals
Sean McGuinness—drums

Pissed Jeans / Shallow - PUR106
Power-dirge from Pennsylvania. Pissed Jeans are noisy as a motherfucker and proud of it on this, their first full length, which sounds like a big pile of mud and broken glass ripping through your stereo speakers in the most killer way imaginable.

ALL tanks are viable for all raids.
I have taken a break, and I decided to come back for MoP. I am thinking of picking up my druid due to they are going to be strong pvp healers once again. but my other passion that I liked to do in game was tanking. I don't have the most time on my hands and was wondering if Druids are going to be viable tanks withe the whole guardian thing. I've heard some say yes and some say absolutely no. I figured this would be the place to ask. And when I say Viable I mean Usable for Raids aswell.
Thanks in advance.
ALL tanks are viable for all raids.

"I could make up a bunch of shit to tell you how it's different, but essentially Teng is right." - Aggathon
Not sure who you know that said absolutely no but I wouldn't be taking game advise from that person anymore. As teng says all tanks are viable and they all have slight perks over the other tanks.
Blizzard has done a great job to make all classes/specs atleast viable for raiding i think this is the first time in a long time that people can play how they want without making everyone in the raid hate them. unless your in a realm first clearing guild anyway. druid tanks will surely be viable. and being a bear? cmon who doesnt wanna be a bear....

Washington, DC Wednesday, December 19, 2012
Joshua Gotbaum, director of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), testified on the challenges facing multiemployer pension plans at a House Education and the Workforce Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions hearing.
The hearing looked at the PBGC's insurance program and financial outlook.
PBGC faces $7billion in future obligations since an aging workforce, weak economy and fewer contributing employers have made the multiemployer pension system and plans rely more on PBGC for financial assistance.
Provisions in legislation to strengthen the multiemployer pensions, passed in 2006, are set to expire and policymakers are expected to consider possible reforms during the 113th Congress.
Gotbaum, who was appointed to the position in 2010, is responsible for the agency's management, personnel, organization, budget and investments. He is an advocate for preserving pension plans whenever possible and has worked to expand retirement options in both the public and private sector.
Rep. Phil Roe (R-TN) chaired the hearing.

*I* considered this person to be an SS.It also hurt my brain and left me profoundly annoyed.Saw a vanity licensce plate this weekend (so someone requested this and paid extra for it) which read:14DROAD (One for the road).Now, I suppose there is a small possibility that the driver means he/she really loves driving and is "one that loves the road", but really, the interpretation of that phrase "one for the road" means "one last drink before we start out."So...let's drink and drive. Yeah. Annoyed.
I'm sure there are psychologists that would have a field day with his "destruction of lust object" habits....
A good friend of mine in college was an art major, and I would sometimes study with her in the tomes of the library where she would review art history books and I would write papers (back in days of handwritten rough drafts).One evening she had a giggle fit and proclaimed, "Lawrence has had this book before!" I came over and she showed me beautiful artwork, with the male private parts CUT out with an exacto knife. She explained that everyone who knew Lawrence knew he was gay, except his parents (who worked on campus, and thought the upside down pink triangle on his jacket meant supporting women) so he would "get his jollies" through art pron. (Again, pre-internet days, and this was a religious school).I wondered what he did with his paper collection of male bits--did he decoupage a trinket box? Rank them in a journal? Take a world art tour and recognize famous nudes just by the bits he cut and carried?Ewww...The college had a dark room for art/photography students-I wonder why he did not just take a camera to the library and process his own pictures instead of destroying the art books.hmmm...another story I have never anyone told before now.
Went to Wegmans today to get some stuff for a party and there was a kid walking around the granola bar and sticking his hand into various things, taking out a handful and eating - then moving on to the next bin. We alerted staff and the kid's mom got mad at us because "he's just a kid, why should he not be able to eat?" Like anyone wants food that has been handled by some kids bare hands after he has stuck them in his mouth. Staff took the entire "bar" down and had to replace it all. What a waste.
I've just remembered this one - why I didn't think of it before is a mystery. Biggest SS I've ever met -Woman across the aisle from us on a flight from UK to Germany. She looked middle-aged, her son was about one-year-old. Our flight was delayed by about half an hour. When we finally started to move, she seriously asked the stewardess if the pilot could wait a bit longer as the noise was interfering with her son's nap time. Jaw hit floor. AND she was ratty when the stewardess said it wouldn't be possible.
If Deity had meant for us to be naked, we would have been born that way/
A tad drastic! Though I'm sure we've all wanted them at some point Cinema Ninjas
I sometimes think it would be a good idea with self serve bins to either place a childproof lock on them or have them at a level above young children's reach. And yes, I know either option may well inconvenience some others, but if need be, assistance could then be given?

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this
If you have a 2010 Hyundai GLS front wheel drive these are not an exact fit. I purchased these online and the web site listed these an exact fit so I ordered them online. I picked them up then next day and pulled the wheels of and they do not fit!!! I checked both the driver and passenger side and neither fit. I don't know if these would fit an all wheel drive but they do not fit a front wheel drive.

Widespread implementation of the Common Core State Standards has provided a window of opportunity for teachers in the U.S. to reassert their authority and responsibility in ensuring that our students are involved in the highly rigorous, highly engaging learning that will prepare them for entry into postsecondary experiences in our colleges and workplaces. The goal is to create these modules and make them available to teachers around the country to enhance the quality and engagement of the classroom experiences they provide for their students. The Literacy Research Panel encourages educators to take advantage of this opportunity to build a new set of curricular units that represent the best that our profession has to offer to students and their families.
Every team should include the expertise of a classroom teacher and school, district or university professional with responsibility for conducting, interpreting or promoting research, especially research based literacy practices.
Submissions will be accepted at any time, but a first round of submissions will close on February 15, 2013. Exemplary units may be selected for a poster session at the 2013 Annual Convention in San Antonio, Texas.

I was so happy when I received my mixer I scheduled a night in with a friend to bake cupcakes. Unfortunately, the mixer would not even turn on. After 4 hours on the phone with kitchenaid customer service, and another 30 min chatting with Overstock we decided it was DEAD! Overstock emailed me a shipping label, I drove it to a shipping center, and now am waiting 60-90 days for my refund....waiting....When I talked to the Overstock.com representative she said "well....it's refurbished....that's one of the "things" when you buy refurbished." What things???? Grrrrrr....
It was a hassle receiving a broken product. I had to get the product reshipped directly from the manufacturer, which took and additional 10 days.
I love it! This is the second Kitchen Aid appliance that I bought refurbished at Overstock. Both are perfect. This mixer looks previously used, but it only has very few scratches inside the bowl, everything else is perfect. The product itself is amazing, very powerful and quite. I never had anything like this machine. I m so happy with my purchase. The price? Wow I believe it was at least 40% less than a new one!
I love it! It's great! I have an Artisan KitchenAid, which is also great, but this 6 qt is terrific! I can fit so much more into the bowl. The flat beater did start rubbing off black stuff after I washed it a couple times. Not sure what it was, but I just scrubbed it off until no more black stuff came off. Haven't had any issues with it since!
This was a deal & a half! My girl & I have been looking everywhere for a good deal on a mixer and to get one this great, at such A low price was painless and kind of fun.
I am have been wanting the larger, stronger mixer for time. The price and service and product are excellent. So much so that I told a friend and she bought one also. Thanks
I used a hand mixer before, having this piece at home make my cooking easy... now I multitask. Got the attachment for grinding and make my own burgers and mix them with my spices easier. Been doing my own cookies, since is hard as diabetic to find sugar free treats and is so easy for a guy to use it! Just follow directions.
This was a gift to my sister in law who had owned a KitchenAid Mixer for over 40 years. There was nothing wrong with the old one except that the bowl had been bent and it was smaller. The motor still performed well. She loved the new mixer and is looking forward to another 40 years of service.
I have a Kitchenaid mixer that I have had for years, but wished I had gotten the heavier duty one for bread and larger recipes. I will be checking out when Christmas comes around and I make lots of large amounts of treats.
Didn't last a week without major problems. Lift lever broke- have to use a bowl to raise mixer bowl. Have to turn on and off to get electrical connection to work. I understand why its a refurbished.
