10 Days Zigzagging Central Colorado From Top to Bottom
Finally time to depart for Colorado. No real plan, mainly just get out of the 100 degree+ weather forecast for Lubbock, Texas.
My son, Brad, worries like an old mother hen when I take off on these solo camping trips from my WeeStrom...so he gave me a Spot for my birthday.
The Spot made it easier for my friends and family to keep up...you can set it up to send custom message emails to up to 50 recipients. It made all the difference for Brad...instead of worrying when I was out of cell service, he followed along in google.
I stopped and visited Brad's maternal grandfather, who is recovering from gall bladder surgery at Harmony House in Amherst, Texas. I talked him into giving the ADV salute! Best wishes, Bud!
Here's a shot of the NM desert stretch...Doc Roc and LDF talk about liking the treeless plains in the Mobius Report, so I put in a pic just for you, Doc.
Does that qualify as a treeless plain? I didn't take any pics of West Texas and very few of Eastern NM...BORING!!! Flat, straight and stinky! One dairy farm after another from Amherst to Clovis, NM. Then a long desert stretch from Clovis to Vaughan, where I turned off 84 onto 285 North. I stopped in Ft. Sumner and gobbled a ham & cheese sandwich in a pretty little park. Should've taken a picture...I finally mounted the camera to the handlebar at Sante Fe.
That's Wheeler Peak, the highest peak in NM and home to Taos Ski Valley, in the distance. That dirt road looks inviting, huh?
I made it to Antonito, Co. and turned West on 17, looking for a campspot.
I'd seen Mogote NF Campground on some maps and was looking for that. I found it...only 450 miles from Lubbock. I must come here more often...it's beautiful!
It might get a little chilly at night at these elevations and this close to the river?
One good thing about camping near a river...there's always plenty of firewood.
Day 2 Breakfast...coffee and oat meal. Yummy! Everything tastes better in the woods!
I broke camp with Lake Dillon in mind for my next campspot. It did get a little chilly, so I started out heading West on 17 to check out a couple more NFS campgrounds for future reference.
The aspen were putting on leaves and were a vibrant green.
Elk Creek Campground was a couple miles down a washboarded, dirt road. I liked Mogote CG better.
Time to backtrack to 285 and head North into the heart of Colorado!
This is the South view from 17 near Aspen View CG.
The same location looking North.
Still lots of snow in the higher elevations!
I stopped here for a break to check out a roaring little creek. All the creeks and rivers were ripping!
One of the 14er Collegiate Peaks...not sure which one?
This was near Buena Vista...my first attempt at a panorama shot...I need to practice with my new camera!
A 14er with too much zoom.
Time for the rain gear?
I followed a rain shower all day...sure smelled good. A little bit chilly in mesh gear, tho!
I did Starlight, Starbright on the evening star last night...and wished for clear skies and good weather. It's trying to clear...
Pine beetles are destroying our National Forests! There are more brown evergreens in places than green.
Notice how the trees don't have leaves yet at the higher elevations.
Drop a few hundred feet and they're the brightest green you've ever seen!
Starting to sprinkle...see it on the windscreen. Never had to put on my rainsuit, tho.
Silverthorne, Co. I'd been chilled all day and was craving a warm shower, so I got a room here.
That's Dillon Lake with the Keystone Range in the background. How can the people that live here stand to look at that all the time?
That's all for Day 2. Day 3 destination...Rocky Mountain National Park.

Day 3 headed for Rocky Mountain National Park
I didn't put any pics of the motel where I stayed because I wouldn't recommend it. It was old and cheap, but clean, so I took it. About 2:30am, a party kicked off next door. I called the desk and left a complaint on the answering machine. It finally calmed down enough for me to go back to sleep around 4am. I should've set an alarm, but I rarely sleep past 6am, especially in a motel. I awoke at 8:30 to light showers outside. I immediately felt hurried, since I had planned to be on the road by 9ish. Keep the hour delay in mind when looking at the clouds in the pics. They're moving left to right in the morning pics.
Friggin' Western Pine Beetles! A ranger at Rio Grande NFS headquarters had warned me that several NFS Campgrounds were closed because of the danger of dead trees falling in high winds. Guess why the trees are dead? WPB!!!
I had originally kinda' planned to go from Dillon to Loveland Pass, catch I70 to 40 North and go through Winter Park to Granby. After riding chilled the entire day before and with overcast skies, I decided to take a river route instead of a high pass path. I followed Blue River on 9 North to Kremming, then turned East on 34 and followed the Colorado River to it's headwaters in the RMNP.
Route 9 from Silverthorne to Kremming looks boring on the map, but it was actually a beautiful ride with very little traffic this day.
That's Mt. Powell to the west.
I pulled off to be sure I got this cloud corridor I was in (I spotted it in the mirror...this was looking South where I'd just come from) and got the 2 Mt. Powell pics above. Two of my favorites.
Looking South where I'd just been.
Down there is where the Blue River joins the Colorado. Time to turn East on 34 and follow the Colorado River.
On the map, 34 looks like it would be a busy route, but there was little traffic today.
I did coffee and oat meal at the motel and I was getting hungry, so I stopped at Windy Gap Active Wildlife Viewing roadside park. What a view...through the provided pay binoculars, you could see several elk feeding in the high meadow in the bite mark of my sandwich. Although you couldn't see them with the naked eye, I was tickled to see some elk! Little did I know I would almost reach out and touch one later that day.
That's Sol Vista Ski Area in the left background.
That's Granby Lake, which separates the Arapahoe Nat'l Rec Area from the Rocky Mountain NP.
Traffic picked up considerably at Granby. Instead of letting it get to me, I would just pull off at the first photo op, take some pics and wait for a clearer spot in traffic. This is across from Grand Lake...I'm almost to the RMNP!
I briefly spotted a Skimmer at the little roaring creek I took a break beside, but didn't get a pic. I was tickled to see one in the birds to watch for in the RMNP!
Trail Ridge Road across the top of RMNP was spectacular. Several miles of 12000' tundra with stunning views.
I spent almost an hour talking to a Ranger...sorry, no name or picture. This guy knew the Park and genuinely enjoyed talking about it. I asked where he would camp if he were me. Instead of a pre-prepared answer about the spot they have trouble filling, he asked several questions about me and what I'm looking for. He then recommended Moraine Park, which would take about two hours. He said the weather on the Trail Ridge Road was as pretty as it had been in days that day. It was around 2, so off I went.
The Ranger did warn me about a couple of slide areas where the road surface was gravel, but slow speed limits should prevent it from flying. He also mentioned a couple of one-way work zones, but that's just the way it is in Colorado in the mountains in late spring. Gotta' get em patched before winter...it's nearly always winter on much of the Trail Ridge Road!
As best I could tell, the tree line is usually around 11,500'...or does it vary from region to region?
I stopped here, put on all the warm gear I could easily get to and cranked up the heated grips. It's beautiful up here, but chilly as well!
Several hundred feet above the tree line here!
This looks like the old picture in the visitor center.
Just when I was beginning to think it's not as cold as it looks...One-way traffic stop right on the edge of a wind swept ridge. Brrrr...
I had time to take the camera off the mount and get my first mirror shot of the trip...starting to back up.
Not the best surface, but at least I'm rolling.
Whooaa!!! Time to stop for pics...danged cages drive me nuts, sometimes! Not as close as it looks...we were CRAWLING.
Where finished, the Trail Ridge Road is smooth as silk.
These things sure can cause traffic hazards...if you have a telephoto lens, you have the right of way, I suppose?
The old bull on the left was in some sweet grass and wasn't going anywhere soon. The young one on the left is what was making me wait...he wasn't sure what he wanted to do.
Made it to Day 3 campgrounds...hope I get a good site!
Back at the RMNP visitor center, the Unknown Ranger said they'd cleared most of the dead trees killed by the WPB. No kidding...hardly any big pines left!
At least they saved a few around the campsites!
RMNP elk cows are obviously used to people.
Ol' #47 seemed to be the leader and is expecting, I expect.
Probably too many pine cones and needles to sneak up close enough for an elk porn shot? Darn bush blocked that one!
Here you go, goatrider06! Whoa now, Beasties...get your minds outa' the gutter and don't get yourselves banned! His cage is a 2006 GTO...he doesn't really ride goats...at least that I know of? We kid him about it, tho!
A little girl about 7 or 8 tried to approach #47 with her hand out like she had a treat. When she got within a few yards, the cow raised her head and stomped her front foot...sent that little girl running. She went back to grazing...she knows how to handle young campers!
Day 4
Before the trip, I ordered an inverter and even installed a powerlet in my tail trunk so I could charge the netbook while riding. The invertor quit working or never worked...not sure which? So I rode to Estes Park to charge up and eat brunch.
Ok...ok, I know there are a lot of inmates who start slobbering and will piss and moan 'til they see some food if you say "eat" anything. me too!! So here ya' go! A southwest omellette with bell peppers, onions, green chilles and 3 kinds of cheese! YUMMY!!! I guess I was getting a little tired of oat meal and sandwiches, although I've been eating a variety of scrumptious made at home before I left burritos each evening. I know...I know...shoulda' took some pics!
A couple more Estes Park pics. Then I'm back to break camp and look for a NFS campsite. Nat'l Parks don't allow gathering firewood, or even hauling it in. You have to buy it from a vendor and still figure out how to haul it on a bike. National Forest Service campgrounds allow gathering deadwood or hauling it in. Call me frugal, but it just doesn't feel right to buy firewood in the midddle of a National Forest that is full of deadwood from pine beetle killed trees!!!
Isn't Estes Park awesome!?? It's my brother-in-law's favorite place in the whole world, according to Sis.
After breaking camp, I headed toward Bear Lake before leaving the NP. I found this cool waterfall and river gorge.
I didn't go all the way to Bear Lake...I wanted to find a multi-day base campsite so I could explore without all my luggage. I headed South out of Estes Park on Co7, looking for Olive Ridge NFS Campgrounds. I found it in the shadow of Mt. Long, the only 14er in the National Park and 2 miles down the road from Meeker Park, where there was a small general store with pay public showers and laundry. Perfect for a multi-day base camp...if the campsites look good?
This is Mt. Long
I found Olive Ridge CG and a great campsite. I went ahead and paid for 3 nights, offloaded my luggage and took off to play unencumbered. I'll set up camp later when it's cooler. This campsite is at 8900', so it'll definately be cool when the sun goes down. I took 7 South to 72 South to 119 East to Sugartown Road (or something like that) It was paved for a ways, then turned to dirt and came out on 72 North of Nederland. Then headed back and set up camp.
Sugarloaf Road...that's it! I think...shoulda took a picture.
This was just after I came off dirt on 72. Sorry about the gloved finger in the pic. BTW...these pics are all just the way they came outta' the camera. No touch ups or editing of any kind, other than selecting the large size to link from SmugMug.
The Ruler of "The Rock". I picked this site because of this huge boulder on the upwind side...little did I know I would be entertained by a couple of chipmunks having a territorrial dispute over it. These little guys don't hold still for photos very often.
More campsite and chipmunk pics tomorrow. Ride plan for Day 5...ride the "hide the gunpowder" road to the Continental Divide.

Thanks, guys!
Thanks for the kind words, guys! I have ADV decals front and back, I've been tagged on the tail trunk with FYYFF and my white helmet has the Dakar dude decal with ADV under it on back. I've uploaded over 300 pics so far and haven't found a one with ADV in it! Sorry Gadget Boy...I'll take some pics at home if I don't find one.
Those are actually 3m Illuminite decals on the bike, Buddy Holly... Rex, a guy from Dallas sells them for $95.00 for a 6 piece kit. 2 eyes, 2 grins and 2 Stars & Bars. They're copies of the teeth and eyes from the Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk WWII warplane. Rex calls 'em WarStroms.

Day 5 Hide the gunpowder
Day 5 starts with wind gusts of 40+ mph! Chip came out and posed for me. Or is that Dale? Might even be Alvin?? He sure know how to get around on the big boulder.
Day 5 planned route:
Didn't attempt to light the campstove in those winds, instead headed into Estes Park for brunch.
I then take 34 East to CR25 North. 34 runs through the Big Thompson canyon with rock walls on both sides.
I turn North on CR25 and head toward Horsetooth Reservoir. Check out the color of the dirt in the hill ahead. Looks like Utah!
CR25 runs along the East side of Horsetooth Reservoir for about 10 miles with spectacular views.
I'm certainly glad those daybreak winds subsided! Turned out to be a light wind day, no whitecaps on the lake.
I was tempted to take off on this dirt road...probably killer views of the lake from up there, but I play it safe and stick to the pavement since I'm riding alone.
CR25 turned out to be a sweet route...not even numbered on the paper maps. It was a cutoff to avoid going into Loveland and Ft. Collins to get to Co14.
Still CR25 just South of Bellvue.
I had an email from my son last night saying he had just read an article in the latest issue of Rider Magazine about the "Hide the Gunpowder Road" in Northern Colorado. The road is the Poudre Canyon Road or Co14. I had seen the twisty line on the map and it was one of the reasons I set up a 3 night base camp nearby. The only problem was he wasn't the only one to read the article...traffic was too heavy for a relaxing ride. But it was still fun with killer views!
I whine about the traffic on 14 and then all the pics show no traffic.
This is Poudre Falls...made me pull over and take the camera off the mount!
I was actually just above the main fall, but I had a big loop planned today. No time for hiking.
Co14 also crosses Cameron Pass at 10,276'. I started seeing the unique rock formations at the top of the peak here. It was one of those sights you just can't get enough of...just keeps pulling your eyes back every time it comes into view.
The pics don't grab me like real life did. I'd love to camp nearby and have a view of Cameron Peak.
One last pic of Mt. Cameron. The aspen in the foreground were just starting to bud...imagine this picture with new leaves on the aspen.
I've got to get to work! I'll finish up Day 5 this evening.

Day 5 finish
After Cameron Pass, I was tempted to try a shortcut across to 125, but I was too low on gas and had to go into Walden and fill up. I then headed South on 125.
Headed back toward Granby, where I take 40 South to Winter Park.
We flew to Denver and rode the Grey Line to Winter Park in the winter of 1980 to snow ski. I remember how impressed 5 y.o. Brad was by all the peaks above the tree line. He kept asking where all the trees went on top of the mountains?
This Harley guy blew by me about 80 mph. I was a little worried about getting back to camp before the deer started moving, so I jumped in with him. Some Harley riders don't like rice burner bikes following them...this was one of those guys, apparently. He pushed it to at least 100mph and put some space between us. He got stuck behind some slower traffic and I caught back on. When we hit I70, he turned East like I was planning and caught a 2 lane onramp stoplight where I pulled up beside him. I tried to wave and got a dirty look? The light turned green and the race was on! Not for long tho, that thing would RUN and he quickly left me behind, then turned off at the next exit.
I remember Little Bradley being facinated by the tunnels through the mountains back in '80, too.
This is the Central City Parkway, a smooth 4 lane super highway with a 35 mph speed limit that everyone was adhering to. I figured it was a speed trap, but didn't see any radar units. In fact, while in Colorado, I did see lots of County Sheriffs, but I don't recall seeing anyone pulled over getting a ticket. If the roads get a little curvy, the speed limit drops to 45 or even 35 in places. I met a couple of County Mounties on this trip where I thought, "Oh sh!t, I'm more than 10% over" but they never came after me.
Back on 72 headed North toward camp. No deer moving, yet...better keep an eye out and the brakes warm, though! They come out at dusk in droves, here!!!
I rode past camp the 2 miles to Meeker Park to buy ice and check out the showers. It was 6:20 when I got there and it was CLOSED. Rural Colorado shuts down at 5pm!!! I bought a couple of sodas from the outside machine, but I need ice to keep my sandwiches and burritos from spoiling. I went back to camp and found the soft side cooler still had ice left from the day before. SWEET!!! I don't have to ride back into ugly ol' Estes Park! I changed and took a handy wipes bath since the showers were closed. Started a fire and heated up my burritos...YUMMY...everything tastes better in the mountains! I know, I know...shoulda' took some pics!
I seldom if ever drink alone, but you just gotta' have alcohol to properly enjoy a good campfire! I think it's one of those unwritten man laws? Time to reload the Captain Morgan!!!
Those 3m illuminite decals and rim strips sure glow in the red light from my headlamp! That's all I got for Day 5.
Day 6 route...ride to the top of Mt. Evans, the highest paved road in the US! I'm kinda' scared of heights, but if Geek (a self proclaimed heights weenie) did it, I know I can, too!!!

Ann Jones, 63, has survived cancer twice but lost four relatives, including a daughter, to the disease. Jones believes she owes her life to a cancer screening van that visited her housing project. / JOHN PARTIPILO / THE TENNESSEAN
William Owens, a diabetic, changed his diet and exercise program after being diagnosed with prostate cancer and experiencing diabetes-related complications. / SHELLEY MAYS / THE TENNESSEAN
The Tennessean set out to find out why the state has consistently ranked so high in cancer deaths, despite its population getting the disease no more frequently than many other states. It ranks fifth in deaths, but 22nd in incidences.
The state is particularly stricken with lung cancer one of the deadliest forms of the disease.
But editor Heidi Hall found a more subtle but just as powerful force that also drives the rate: The disease isnt caught early enough.
Hall talked with more than 100 doctors, nurses, researchers and cancer patients to show the depths of the problem and whats being done.
Tennesseans die of cancer at the fifth-worst rate in the nation.
What kills them most frequently is cigarettes, but a powerful mix of
misinformation and denial also drives up the death count.
A Tennessean examination that included dozens of interviews with doctors, cancer experts and patients across the state found health professionals frequently encounter people who have ignored symptoms for months or even years before going to a doctor. A lack of urgency or confusion about routine cancer screenings, coupled with misconceptions about treatment and even a fatalistic acceptance of the disease, leads to cancers being diagnosed too late to be treated successfully.
"There's a personal value system, a thought process that says, 'It can't be me,' and an incredibly complicated health system," said Mary Jane Dewey, director of the state Health Department's sole free cancer screening program. "Even people with insurance can't understand their policies."
Lung, breast, prostate and colorectal cancers are the most commonly diagnosed in the state. In the 2001-05 reporting period, more Tennesseans died from lung cancer 20,629 victims than from the other three combined.
There's no commonly used screening for lung cancer. Usually, it's found in the early stages only by accident. Perhaps a car accident prompts a chest X-ray, and a conscientious radiologist notices an odd fleck on the lung. Otherwise, it's uncovered late, after symptoms such as coughing up blood.
Its five-year survival rate is 15 percent, according to the American Cancer Society, by far the worst of the big four cancers.
And because Tennesseans smoke at a much higher rate than the rest of the nation, they die of lung cancer at a higher rate, driving that fifth-place cancer mortality ranking, said Bill Blot, a Vanderbilt researcher whose specialty is cancer epidemiology.
Shirley Ford, 67, is one of the lucky ones so far. He started smoking in his teens, never had a routine medical screening and kept smoking even after he woke up to find he couldn't breathe one Sunday night in 2004. He didn't quit until a few weeks after that, when a Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center doctor who diagnosed his small-cell lung cancer said, "You know the cigarettes have got to go."
"I had a pack with me when he told me," said Ford, of Byrdstown, Tenn. "I carried them around for a week without smoking one before I threw them out."
After surgery and chemotherapy, he's been in remission since June 2005.
Ford grew up on a tobacco farm where smoking was a way of life, not an unusual history for rural Tennesseans. Centers for Disease Control data from 2007 show only four states Kentucky, West Virginia, Oklahoma and Missouri with higher smoking rates.
But Blot is also concerned about an emerging risk factor for the other big three cancers obesity. Tennessee ranks fourth in the nation for percentage of the population that is overweight or obese.
Either obesity in general or eating too much red meat or animal fat is listed by the American Cancer Society as a risk factor for breast, colorectal cancer and prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer survivor William Owens, 68, is also a diabetic. He said it was his bout with cancer, and the complications diabetes brought to the fight, that made him change his diet and exercise program.
He catches the bus to Hadley Park's fitness center in Nashville as often as he can to use the stationary bicycle and the pool.
"I don't know how to swim, but I get out there and move around in the water," Owens said.
After cryogenic surgery, or the freezing of cancer cells; taking the testosterone reducer leuprolide acetate; and changing his lifestyle, blood tests to detect prostate cancer are coming back negative.
Owens rarely misses a day wearing his large wooden necklace with an ankh medallion, an Egyptian symbol for eternal life.
'Real education' needed
Tennessee's abysmal cancer death rate ranking is more disturbing when compared with its 22nd-place spot for cancer diagnoses, meaning the chances of surviving cancer in Tennessee is lower than most other states.
Most of that is the state's disproportionate rate of tough-to-beat lung cancer. But the other three cancers driving that trend have something in common recommended routine screenings.
The American Cancer Society recommends annual mammograms to detect breast cancer after age 40 and annual fecal occult blood tests plus colonoscopies once a decade after age 50 to detect colorectal cancer.The recommendations for prostate-cancer screenings digital rectal exams and prostate-specific antigen tests for men 50 and older rely more on doctors' knowledge of the patient.
All of the screenings should begin sooner if there are cancer symptoms or a family history.
Tennesseans may know about the screenings but don't understand that they need them or what to do next, said Dr. John Bell, a University of Tennessee-Knoxville surgical oncologist and former chairman of the Tennessee Comprehensive Cancer Control Coalition.
He's watched visitors quickly pocket pamphlets at health fairs and leave without the professionals behind the tables ever speaking to them.
That can kill a person, Bell said.
"Open your doors and offer some real education," he said. "Allow people to ask questions and get connected. Can you imagine there are people who think they can't eat or drink before their mammogram? We have not done a very good job of getting the message out there."
Once they get the message, it can be tough for Tennesseans without insurance to follow through. TennCare, the state's Medicaid program, isn't open to most people who don't have young children, even if they're unemployed and broke. There are other state-subsidized insurance programs, including AccessTN and CoverTN, but participants must cover reduced premiums and co-pays.
The state sponsors free screenings for breast and cervical cancer, and a diagnosis of either gives women instant access to TennCare. Only those cancers have that arrangement.
Tony Garr, executive director of the Tennessee Health Care Campaign, has heard the horror stories.
"You are really in bad shape. You are likely not to find care. If you find care, you're going to bankrupt your family," he said. "A lot of people think, 'If I am going to die of this disease, why should I put an $80,000 bill on my family?'
"It's hard to get any stories on that because they're probably dead."
But the uninsured shouldn't give up on getting screenings, said John Chiaramonte, the American Cancer Society's government relations director for Tennessee. They can call 1-800-ACS-2345 for ideas, look for low-cost screening days sponsored by hospitals or health departments, or ask doctors whether they'd be willing to set up payment plans.
Screening saved her life
Ann Jones, 63, knows all about hearing the message and either not acting or feeling unable to.
Her family plot is at the back of the Watkins Chapel Methodist Cemetery outside of Morristown, Tenn. It's a collection of seven graves adorned with angel statues and plastic flowers, dusty from the nearby gravel driveway.
Four of them are there because of cancer two ovarian, one bone, one pancreatic.
She said she owes her life to a breast cancer screening RV that visits Morristown from the University of Tennessee once a year and the brassy, no-nonsense woman who herded her aboard it.
Jones was visiting the Morristown Housing Authority's thrift store for the first time when the authority's activities coordinator collared her. Charlotte Pressley, worried about the women living in government housing, had called UT five years before and asked for the van to start making annual visits.
When UT nurses said yes, Pressley turned her attention to residents who attended the women's group she coordinated or shopped in the thrift store.
"Here you go," she'd say, ringing up purchases. "How long has it been since your last mammogram?"
Jones had to think. It had been a decade with no insurance, she didn't believe she could afford screenings and didn't know about the state's free program.
She'd ignored a lump on the side of her left breast for months. It was too much caffeine, she told herself. Too much chocolate, maybe.
At Pressley's urging, Jones visited the van in September 2008. Ultimately, that visit led to a diagnosis of Stage 2 breast cancer, a lumpectomy and a five-year prescription for Arimidex, an estrogen inhibitor that reduces cancer growth.
Jones, a divorced mother of four who lost a daughter after a five-year battle with pancreatic cancer, talks about her ordeal and everything else with resigned calm.
"Honey, as many times as I've heard the word cancer I was just glad they caught it in the early stages," she said.
The price of death
University of Memphis health economist Albert Okunade specializes in putting a price tag on death, and cancer's bill in Tennessee has been steep an estimated $1.9 billion in direct costs for diagnosis and treatment this year alone.
Okunade estimates indirect costs at 30 percent of that figure, although specific data aren't available for a formula. The components include lost wages and what cancer patients may have contributed in volunteer work or services to their families that someone else now must perform.
"People who are less educated, less informed about health risks die more quickly and more of them die," he said. "That's telling me, if we put more money into public health information, I believe we might succeed in reducing the mortality rate for cancer."
But money can be an issue. The Tennessee legislature put $10 million into smoking cessation programs for the first time for the 2007-08 fiscal year, but then halved that the following year. This year, the state's tobacco control program is running on a $1.5 million budget, all but $300,000 of that from a Centers for Disease Control grant.
The money pays for the state's 1-800-QUIT-NOW line, which matches smokers with counselors to help them quit, and literature.
But anti-smoking advocates look most longingly at the state's $4.8 billion settlement with tobacco companies, which it began receiving in annual payments in 1999. The legislature voted to put the money into the general fund; none into anti-smoking programs. Tennessee has collected $1.84 billion to date.
"We feel it is shameful that so much tobacco money has gone into the state coffers and our state officials have not seen the wisdom and putting some of that into cessation and prevention," said Margaret Smith, the American Lung Association's advocacy director for Tennessee. "The CDC recommends Tennessee spend $71 million annually to have any kind of success."
Gov. Phil Bredesen's office said the use of the tobacco money was the Legislature's decision, and in recent years, state budgets have been particularly challenging.
Still, Bruce Behringer, an East Tennessee State University researcher and the statewide cancer coalition's co-chairman, wants to plunge ahead to try to change the fifth-place ranking, and a new public information campaign will be part of that.
The campaign has no budget right now. A coalition committee is searching for ways to pay for it.

The biodiversity scientists gathered here commit themselves to finding practical solutions to this problem. They will do so by: increasing shared knowledge of biodiversity and its functions; helping to develop systems for monitoring the biodiversity of the planet; and being responsive to the knowledge needs of society with clear communication of findings.
The proposed mechanism for the ongoing evaluation and communication of scientific evidence on these issues is an Intergovernmental Panel on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). We call on governments and non-governmental organisations to join us in establishing IPBES as soon as possible. We urge policy-makers to act swiftly and effectively on the already-established and future findings relating to ways of limiting further biodiversity loss and restoring ecosystem services.
Meeting current and future human needs must make adequate provision for the complex web of life of which people are an integral part. People everywhere must give effect to their shared desire for a biologically-rich and productive planet through their individual decisions and political voices.
Growth of global pet trade risks health
Among dozens of conference presentations, US experts warned that the risk of importing diseases is rising in tandem with growth of the multi-billion dollar pet animal trade.
The US alone imports some 200 million such animals annually from 194 countries. Most were captured from the wild and most arrived from Southeast Asia, a hotspot incubator of emerging diseases.

LOVE this product. There's no going back. I use it as a makeup remover and face cleanser 1-2 times a day. Leaves your skin feeling smooth and clean. No stickiness, no dryness, nothing. Well worth the price!

This is the best eye makeup remover for me. I don't use it to clean my facial makeup because it's too expensive for that. It doesn't smell and doesn't sting my eyes. The only downside is that it doesn't take off waterproof mascara.

My all time favorite! I have tried sooo many cleansing products, but this one is just pure wonder for your skin. It hydrates it, adds glow, leaves it soft, doesn't irritate it, removes makeup effortlessly (even water-proof), smells gentle and nice and ... it's just marvelous. I can't brag enough about it, seriously! The only minus is that the big packaging (500ml) that has this "pump mechanism" is not very nice to use, because when you press it the product comes out under a lot of pressure (obviously) and splashes out (not only on your cotton pad, as it has to be). But the products is so great, that I don't really care about this minus of the packaging. Love it!

Since discovering this product last year, it hasn't left my skincare routine. And nor will it ever!
Wonderful product, it performs to its purpose and removes all signs of makeup, even the waterproof mascara. All you need is a reasonable amount on a cotton pad, swipe gently and all make up is gone in a flash.
Would definitely recommend purchasing this, don't be fooled by the price, it's worth every cent.

I really like this cleanser. I normally use an oil cleanser but if I;m a little lazy in the evening this is a great alternative. Your skin feels really clean after, but def need to go over your face twice. And also wipe off the moisture it leaves on your skin before moisturising. I had very sensitive skin around my eyes and it did not irritate it at all.

Best cleanser ever! And I have used quite a few! I have been using this forever and then decided to change it up a bit by using a Clarins cleanser (love their moisturizer) and toner. I went back to Bioderma Crealine, as it cleanses my skin thouroughly, without drying it and doesn't cause spots. I will never be without it again!

Sadly this was a miss for me. I tried using it to remove mmu and primer at night. After about 3 days l started getting random red lumpy outbreaks. To check, l followed up with my Liz Earle toner and found lots of makeup on the cotton round. It's not a deep cleanser. I went back to my hot cloth cleanser and the lumps went away. It does feel really nice to use on the face though, and l like the packaging. I'm using it up as an eye make-up remover now. It works fine for that.

The objective of our studies was to document the presence of bacterial biofilms in recurrent and chronic infectious diseases of the upper airways (UA) (adenoiditis, tonsillitis, chronic rhinosinusitis) and to assess the association between the presence of biofilm and the maintenance of a chronic inflammation. Methods: 16 surgical samples of tonsils and adenoids from patients with UA infections and 24 samples of ethmoid mucosa from patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) were cultured using conventional methods and subjected to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to detect evidence of biofilm. Results: Bacterial biofilms were observed in 57.5% of chronically infected UA mucosa; in 41.7% of ethmoid mucosa of CRS patients they were significantly (p < 0.001) associated with a marked destruction of ciliated epithelium. Discussion: Our studies confirm that biofilm formation plays a role in UA infections, it not only explains the resistance of these infections to antibiotic therapy, but also represents an important element that contributes to the maintenance of a chronic inflammatory reaction.

BALTIMORE -- Adam Jones homered and J.J. Hardy drove in two runs to support another strong start from Wei-Yin Chin as the Baltimore Orioles scored a 5-2 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night. The victory before 24.055 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards gave Baltimore (23-14) a split of the two-game series with New York (20-16) and its first win over the Yankees at home this season. New York had taken the first four meetings in Baltimore. Jones gave the Orioles a lead with his second-inning solo homer, and Hardy got an RBI double in the fifth and a run-scoring infield single in the sixth. He didn't get an RBI when his double-play grounder scored a run in the third. All of that was enough for Chen (4-0), a pleasant surprise for the Orioles in his rookie season. He lasted seven innings, giving up just a two-run homer to Curtis Granderson in the seventh that cut the Orioles' lead to 4-2. Granderson may have gotten a break on that homer when a fan wearing a Yankees jacke...

(Saturday, September 5th)
Final Score: Missouri 37, Illinois 9
St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Blaine Gabbert, making his first start, threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns, as the Missouri Tigers handled the Illinois Fighting Illini, 37-9, in both squads opener at the Edward Jones Dome.
Gabbert, who is a sophomore taking over for the departed and successful Chase Daniel, completed 25-of-33 pass attempts and also rushed for 39 yards and a score. Danario Alexander led the Tigers (1-0) with 10 catches for 132 yards, while Jared Perry added four receptions for 93 yards and a touchdown. Wes Kemp chipped in with four catches for 77 yards and a score, as Missouri won its eighth straight season opener.
Juice Williams had an off game for the Illini (0-1), completing 18-of-28 tosses for 179 yards and an interception. Jarred Fayson hauled in four balls for 50 yards, as Illinois fell to 0-6 all-time in neutral-site openers.
The Tigers opened the game's scoring on a 32-yard field goal by Grant Ressel midway through the first quarter. A few minutes later, Gabbert threw a 49-yard touchdown pass to Kemp for a 10-0 lead.
Illinois cut its deficit early in the second quarter with a 24-yard field goal by Matt Eller.
Missouri responded with a pair of field goals (44 and 41 yards) by Ressel and it took a 16-3 advantage into the locker room.
The Tigers added to their lead early in third quarter, as Gabbert connected with Jerrell Jackson from four yards away.
Later in the third quarter, Gabbert and Danario hooked up on a 46-yard scoring strike, giving Missouri a commanding 30-3 lead.
Mikel LeShoure plunged one yard for a score early in the fourth quarter to give the Illini some hope, although the extra-point was missed.
Missouri put things away for good midway through the final period, as Gabbert rushed eight yards for a touchdown and a 37-9 victory.
The Tigers have now won 11 straight non-conference bouts, the longest such streak in school history. The team's last non-league loss came to New Mexico in 2005.

World Premiere: MINI JCW Endurance
This is going up a few hours early since Autoblog (along with a few other sites) couldn't quite get that embargo 'thing' figured out. For the record gentemen, it was tomorrow morning.
Today takes the wraps off of one of the most ambitious motorsport projects from the brand yet. This weekend MINI will be tackling the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring, perhaps the toughest and most difficult 24 hour race in the world. And to do it MINI has created an entirely new race car based on the R58 MINI JCW Coupe.
We have the full press release below but we can shed a bit more light on this car ourselves. A few weeks ago I had a chance to sit in the car and go over it in detail. In short this is unlike any MINI Challenge race-car ever made. It may look similar but it has much more extensive aero work along with a heavily revised 1.6L JCW engine. Like the Challenge race-car, the JCW Endurance uses a stock JCW engine. Unlike the Challenge car it doesn't make due with merely 225 hp but instead over 250 hp.
Helping put this power down to the tarmac is MINI's first sequential manual transmission. It's a race transmission that is mounted on the dash just to the right of the steering wheel – very similar to last year's ALMS/LeMans M3s. Shift times are measured in milliseconds.
Inside the cabin is sparse but perfectly laid out. I can tell you from experience that climbing into the car (especially for someone 6'2″) is not a thing of beauty. And getting out is even worse. But once you're in the race seat and the controls seem to fit like a glove. However I do apologize for putting my size 13 pretty hard (by accident of course) into the key slot which was moved to the left of the steering wheel.
Even opening the door is a strangely new experience as it's made entirely out of carbon fiber and weighs seemingly just a couple of pounds. I literally swung it open with a flick of my finger. Carbon fiber is also used on the hood and boot-lid to further reduce weight.
Unfortunately MINI doesn't have any further plans for this car after the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring this weekend. In fact I specifically asked if this was the next Challenge car and got a resounding 'no'. So what we have here is simply the fastest most ultimate of all ultimate MINIs. A true one-off (or 2-3 off from what we've heard) that will hopefully inform future race-cars and even production cars.
You can read the official press release and see the full official gallery and photos we took of the car after the break.
Official Release
Motor sport is in the MINI genes. And now the carmaker is set to add a new chapter to its racing heritage with the arrival of the MINI John Cooper Works Coupé Endurance. The newly developed racer will line up at this year's 24-hour race at the Nürburgring-Nordschleife circuit, previewing the series-production version of the car due to be unveiled to the public in autumn 2011.
With the participation of the MINI John Cooper Works Coupé Endurance, the Nürburgring 24-hour race will be staging an automotive world premiere for the first time in its history. At the same time, the extreme demands of the classic endurance event ensure the new MINI model will be given a baptism of fire.
MINI's declared aim in entering the Nürburgring 24-hour race is to experience the adventure of the "Green Hellâ€, as the Nürburgring-Nordschleife is affectionately known. And the brand has called, among other things, on the experience gained over many years of MINI Challenge sprint racing in the development of its new racing car for this unique event.
A pure-bred racing set-up will equip the MINI John Cooper Works Coupé Endurance for a full day lapping the combined Nordschleife/Grand Prix circuit at race speed. Providing the power is a specially-tuned version of the series- produced MINI John Cooper Works engine. The 1.6-litre four-cylinder unit – which boasts a twin-scroll turbocharger and petrol direct injection – delivers 250 hp, and the Overboost function pushes peak torque up to 330 Newton metres. Top speed is in excess of 240 km/h. With the over-boost function (the same found on the Cooper S and the JCW) it can get up to 243 lbs of torque.
The MINI John Cooper Works Coupé Endurance sees the brand's customary go-kart feeling taken to a whole new level. The stiff race suspension ensures impressive roadholding and gives the driver constant, direct feedback from the road surface. Adjustable shock absorber units allow the suspension set-up to be adapted to fluctuating track conditions, a feature that will come in particularly handy at the Nordschleife.
The more steeply raked windscreen of the car's flat coupé silhouette sets it apart clearly from the Hatch and helps to minimise aerodynamic drag, which the drivers will acknowledge with a smile on the circuit's long straights. The John Cooper Works Aerodynamics Package further enhances the Coupé's already supreme handling; the front spoiler, rear diffuser and adjustable rear wing generate downforce, optimising the balance between the front and rear axle.
The MINI John Cooper Works Coupé Endurance achieves an exceptionally high level of safety thanks to features including a roll cage welded to the body and a sports bucket seat with six-point safety belt and Formula One-style HANS
(Head And Neck Support) system. When it comes to active safety, the car adopts the proven braking system with Race ABS from MINI Challenge racing and adds a specially tuned DSC dynamic control system, likewise optimised for the race track. Plus, in the interests of safety – and rapid pit stops – the MINI John Cooper Works Coupé Endurance is kitted out with an integrated pneumatic jack.

Quick and easy improvement?
I'll be taking delivery of my new Outdoorsman CC in about a week and heading from AZ to WI right away.
This vehicle comes with the quad headlights. A lot of the comments on this forum say that the stock headlights are rather wimpy.
Is there an easy improvement I can do short of a complete HID replacement?
Not sure if your truck comes with fogs, but they help a lot, they work better than the low beams, IMHO.
Also, the high beams are ok, not great, but ok. It's just the low beams that really suck on my quads.
I put some Silverstars on my lows the 1st week I got the truck, that seemed to help. With the fogs on they light up well. Stock brights I thought were decent.
If you don't mind price PIAA has always made some great bulbs.
My first mod I did to my 08, was switch my garbage stock bulbs to 6000k HID's. One of the best mods I could have done. I feel a lot better driving the country roads at night be able to see everywhere which are alot better then my high beams used to be.
What he said, get a good set of HID's for your lows its night and day, don't skimp out on a cheap set off ebay, go to theretrofitsource or **************** and get a complete kit with wire harness and ya 55watt and 6000k lights you will love your light output, also once installed, drop them down a few degrees just to not blind on coming traffic, and if you really want great stuff, go with a retrofit projector kit, but thats more dollars and less easy than just swapping out for HID's
I think the headlights are aimed to low from factory. I adjusted mine about 3 full turns. It makes so much difference. I don't think I will even go with HIDs.
I put in a $21 set of retro solutions HPX bulbs (65W - 6000K) and I don't use my fogs anymore. I had to aim them down a bit as I was getting flashed all of the time. Much nicer than stock but not as bright as HID (I assume because I have never owned HID lighting).
Not to interrupt a thread here, but as a note to all when you leave your fogs on all the time you are blinding the guys driving the big rig trucks. I'm a truck driver. Then when we flash you we get flashed back with full force bright lights, completely blinding us. It's just asking for an accident. Just a thought for all. Thanks. Sorry to interrupt the thread again.

Hiding your intolerance of peoples believes (even if admitably SOME people that follow that belief are equally intolerant) by posting your views behind the thin guise of mock intelligence on the internet doesn't make you superior to the people you insult

The thing I like about Google is that raw talent is a commodity there. Everyone around you is smart, everyone around you is driven, and everyone around you is trying to push the envelope. As a result, Google can pump out applications that inspire everyone else. The Ajax explosion? Google Maps. That's a pretty impressive ability, and I think they're putting some of that magic into RIAs.
As Richard McManus has prophesized, Google is getting closer and closer to a full out web office suite. While all of this is built on Ajax, even the Google brain is going to hit the Ajax wall and will turn to other technologies to build their applications. I'm not trying to take a swipe at Ajax, but it's exciting to think about what Google will accomplish with other technologies. They've pushed Ajax to the limit, and in the process have people salivating over web applications.
As Google grows, and as its needs grow, the developers are going to branch out into other technologies and push those to the limits. There is no question in my mind that Google is going to drive innovation in the Rich Internet. RIAs are about power, ubiquity, user experience, collaboration, and media. Those are things that Google can take advantage of and monetize better than any other company. Ajax has gotten the brilliant minds of Google excited about the web as a platform, but those brilliant minds will turn to RIA technologies for the next step.

He gets $3.5 million in upfront money, plus a $2.5 million "roster bonus" and up to $1 million in incentives based on games finished. So he's guaranteed less than half of what he got from the Reds last offseason and can earn up to $7 million.
