Illinois Medical Marijuana Registration Begins Today
Share this with your friends
If you live in the state of Illinois, have one of the state's recognized qualifying conditions, and have a last name that begins with a letter that falls between A and L, then Tuesday, September 2nd, 2014, is the first day you can register with the state for the new Illinois medical marijuana program.
In theory, registration begins on the Illinois Department of Public Health website this morning, but the site was unavailable for some time, possibly due to high traffic from people attempting to register this morning. Actual details of the registration process had not yet been released but were reportedly going to be available to the public via the site this morning.
UPDATE: As of 10:11 EST, the Department of Health website is online again, with a link to the state's Medical Cannabis program's newly launched application site. The medical cannabis site is currently not loading, but should be available shortly. Those unable to apply online can print the application for patients here or caregivers here (along with a physician certification form for patients that must be mailed by the physician and a fingerprint consent form) and mail their application to:
Illinois Department of Public Health
Division of Medical Cannabis
535 W. Jefferson St.
Springfield, IL 62761-0001
If your last name begins with a letter that falls between M-Z, you will have to wait until November 1st to begin the registration process. By then, the application process will likely have been demystified and adjusted for the issues that will happen during the early stages of rollout, making the longer wait perhaps worthwhile for those whose surnames fall in the latter half of the alphabet.
If you live in the state and are wondering if you qualify, you will need to have a doctor willing to certify that you have qualifying condition that may respond well to medical marijuana.
Qualifying conditions in Illinois include:
- Agitation of Alzheimer's Disease
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
- Arnold-Chiari malformation and Syringomelia
- Cachemia/wasting syndrome
- Cancer
- Causalgia
- Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy
- Crohn's Disease
- CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type II)
- Dystonia
- Fibromyalgia (severe)
- Fibrous dysplasia
- Glaucoma
- Hepatitis C
- Hydrocephalus
- Interstitial Cystitis
- Lupus
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Muscular Dystrophy
- Myasthenia Gravis
- Myoclonus
- Nail-patella syndrome
- Neurofibromastosis
- Parkinson's Disease
- Post-concussion Syndrome
- RSD (Complex Regional Pain Syndromes Type I)
- Residual Limb Pain
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Seizures, including those characteristic of epilepsy (beginning January 1, 2015)
- Sjogren's Syndrome
- Spinal cord disease, including, but not limited to, arachnoiditis, Tarlov cysts, hydromyelia, syringomyelia
- Spinal cord injury
- Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA)
- Tourette's Syndrome
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
For more information about the state of Illinois' pilot program for medical marijuana, you can look at the state's FAQ page, which includes information about conditions, the application process, and the veteran program. Sadly, the list of conditions does not include Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a condition which affects a significant number of combat veterans and unquestionably contributes to the staggering rate of suicide among veterans. There is, however, a straightforward process for adding new conditions to the list of qualifying medication conditions, so veterans and others with PTSD have the possibility of correcting that oversight in the upcoming months.
Congratulations to the citizens of the state of Illinois as they move one step closer to a legal, state-run medical cannabis program.

§Consolidated Logging
When multiple machines are involved in a cluster it quickly becomes difficult to view the log files of distributed applications. ConductR allows the logging output of itself and the bundles that it executes to be directed to a "syslog collector". Syslog is a widely used protocol for Unix based machines and is supported by a number of cloud-based log providers, as well as local operating system support.
The syslog collector can send the log messages to any kind of logging solution. The ConductR distribution includes Elasticsearch and Kibana as an opt-in logging infrastructure. How to configure Elasticsearch and Kibana or other popular logging solutions are described in the next sections.
§Logging Structure
Before discussing the types of logging available to you, it will be useful to understand the nature of ConductR logs. There are 3 types of logs:
- bundle events;
- bundle logs; and
- ConductR's own logs.
All of these types of logs will be sent to the one log collector. They are distiguished given Syslog's definition of structured data and ConductR's usage of it.
The following sub-sections describe each log type and how they are distinguished.
§Bundle Events
Bundle events describe what has happened to a bundle in terms of whether it has loaded, been replicated to a node, scaled up or down, whether resources cannot be found to scale and so forth. The following structured data items determine that a log message represents a bundle event:
- data.mdc.bundleId:
$bundleId* OR data.mdc.bundleId:
- data.mdc.tag:conductr*
Note that
$bundleName is used for some ConductR events where there is no bundle identiier available e.g. when loading a bundle.
§Bundle Logs
Bundle logs provide the stdout and stderr output of your bundle and are identified in a similar manner to events, only there will be no "conductr" tag:
- data.mdc.bundleId:
- missing data.mdc.tag:conductr*
Note also that the severity level of this log message will indicate
INFO for stdout and
ERROR for stderr.
§ConductR's Logs
ConductR's logs are always identified given the absence of a bundle identifier tag.
- missing (data.mdc.bundleId:
$bundleId* AND data.mdc.bundleId:
§Setting up Elasticsearch
Elasticsearch is available either as the
conductr-elasticsearch bundle or you can use your own. The provided bundle can be found in the
extra folder inside the ConductR installation folder. Also a default configuration for a typical production environment has been provided.
conductr-elasticsearch is using the the role
elasticsearch. Make sure that the ConductR nodes which should run Elasticsearch have this role assigned in
application.ini. This role will determine which nodes will be eligable to run
conductr-elasticsearch and are to be configured accordingly.
Firstly for each node that will run Elasticsearch you must enable access to
/var/log and
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/elasticsearch /var/log/elasticsearch
sudo chown conductr:conductr /var/lib/elasticsearch
sudo chown conductr:conductr /var/log/elasticsearch
To load and run Elasticsearch use the control API of ConductR, e.g. by using the CLI:
conduct load file:/usr/share/conductr/extra/conductr-elasticsearch-{version}-{digest}.zip elasticsearch-prod-{digest}.zip
conduct run conductr-elasticsearch
With that, the syslog collector streams the log messages to Elasticsearch. Use the CLI to access log messages by bundle id or name, e.g.:
conduct logs my-bundle
The provided Elasticsearch bundle configuration is using these settings:
- Memory: 4 GB
- Number of CPUs: 2
- Disk Space: 10 GB
To change the settings create a new bundle configuration by modiying the
bundle.conf file inside of the bundle configuration zip file. The configuration file is named
elasticsearch-prod-{digest}.zip and is located in the
extra folder as well. Afterwards reload the bundle with the new configuration.
§Elasticsearch bundle rolling upgrade
Elasticsearch stores its data within the filesystem. As such, to preserve existing data when managing the deployment, it's important to ensure the data is replicated to the new instance of Elasticsearch.
This can be achieved by following these steps.
- Commission a new ConductR node where the new Elasticsearch instance is going to execute.
- Start this new node and ensure this node is able to successfully join the existing ConductR cluster.
- Turn off one of the old instance where Elasticsearch is running.
- Wait until the new Elasticsearch instance joins the cluster successfully and the data replicated.
- Access the Elasticsearch cluster health endpoint:
http://<ip address of new node>:9200/elastic-search/_cluster/health?level=shards&pretty=true
- Note the state of the cluster health (i.e. the
- It is expected for the cluster health to move from
greenwhile the new node is joining the cluster. It's important to wait and give sufficient time for the cluster health state to turn green. When the old instance is turned off, there will be a slight delay before the cluster state turns to
yellow. Similarly, when a new instance joins the cluster there will be a slight delay before the cluster state turns from
- Once the cluster join process is completed, the cluster health will stay at
- The number of node (i.e.
number_of_nodesfield) shows the correct total number of nodes including the newly joined instance.
- All shards are assigned (i.e. the value of
0) - all shards being assigned indicates the data is now replicated across the Elasticsearch nodes.
- Repeat with the remaining nodes until every old node has been decommissioned.
Generally, Elasticsearch will be resilient enough in the face of failure as long as there is
(n + 1) / 2 remaining nodes available, where
n is the total number of nodes. So as an example, in the cluster of 5 nodes, ES should be able to cope with losing two nodes but not three.
It's important to note the rolling upgrade of the Elasticsearch bundle is only possible between ConductR versions which are binary compatible.
For migrating between binary incompatible ConductR versions, the Elasticsearch data needs to be moved to the new cluster to preserve existing data. The simplest way to do this is to copy the contents of the
/var/lib/elasticsearch from the old nodes to the new nodes. Alternatively, Elasticsearch provides backup and restore facility to move data between 2 different clusters.
§Customized Elasticsearch
You can configure ConductR to use an alternate Elasticsearch cluster for events and logging. Here are some considerations for you if you should choose this path.
Firstly you must tell ConductR where your customized Elasticsearch instance is within its
application.ini, and also turn off ConductR service locating it given the fixed location:
The same also goes for conductr-haproxy's
The Elasticsearch bundle that we provide has been configured to support back-pressure when receiving event and logging data from ConductR. By default Elasticsearch will accept bulk index requests regardless of whether it will process them. This means that under certain load conditions, Elasticsearch could lose data being sent to it. To counter this, here is the configuration we use for Elasticsearch (we have chosen a sharding factor of 5, substitute yours accordingly):
threadpool.bulk.type: fixed
threadpool.bulk.queue_size: 5
The goal of the above settings is for Elasticsearch to reject bulk index requests if it does not have the resources to process them immediately. In the case of ConductR as a provider of bulk index messages, ConductR will buffer its messages until Elasticsearch is ready to process them. ConductR will also roll up messages within its buffer and prioritize them by severity (lowest priority messages are rolled up first).
Here are some cluster settings to consider for Elasticsearch:
discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: <size-of-es-cluster / 2 + 1>
index.number_of_shards: 5
index.number_of_replicas: <size-of-cluster - 1>
Finally, we recommend that you consider data retention of events and logging data. Here is an Elasticsearch template we have used:
"conductr" : {
"template" : "conductr",
"mappings" : {
"_default_" : {
"_ttl" : {
"enabled" : true,
"default": "14d"
More information on configuring Elasticsearch for production can be found in the Elasticsearch documentation.
§Setting up Kibana
Kibana is a popular UI to display data stored in Elasticsearch. In the context of ConductR, Kibana can be configured to display, filter and search log messages. It is available as the
conductr-kibana bundle and can be found in the
extra folder inside the ConductR installation folder. The version 4.1.2 of Kibana is used. This bundle only works in conjunction with the
conductr-elasticsearch bundle. To load and run Kibana to ConductR use the control API of ConductR, e.g. by using the CLI:
conduct load file:/usr/share/conductr/extra/conductr-kibana-{version}-{digest}.zip
conduct run conductr-kibana
This bundle doesn't require any additional bundle configuration file. It is using the role
kibana. Make sure that the ConductR nodes which should run Kibana have this role assigned.
Now the Kibana UI can be accessed on the port
5601, e.g.: http://192.168.59.103:5601.
§Connecting Kibana with Elasticsearch
In order to display the log messages from Elasticsearch in Kibana an
index pattern need to be created initially. If no index pattern has been created yet, the Kibana UI is redirecting you to the page to configure it. All log messages in Elasticsearch are stored in the index
conductr. Therefor, create in Kibana the index pattern
conductr. As the
Time-field name select
The newly created index pattern is automatically set to the default one. Now, head over to the
Discover tab to view the log messages.
By default, the log messages of the last 15 minutes are displayed. If ConductR or the application bundles haven't produced any log messages during this timeframe, no messages will be displayed. In this case you can adjust the timeframe on the top right.
§Customizing Discover tab
By default, Kibana displays in the
Discover tab all fields which Elasticsearch has been stored in the index. Some of these fields doesn't contain helpful information to debug log messages. Therefor, we recommend to select only the fields you are intersted in. As a start you can download and import this custom search.
In Kibana, select the
Settings tab and go to
Objects. Click on
Import and select the downloaded
conductr_default_search.json file. This imports the custom search. Now click on the
view button to see the selected fields in action.
Discover tab has now selected fields in the left field pane. Also these fields are selected as columns in the log message pane.
conductr_default_search custom search selects these fields:
|Log level
|Name of the bundle. The log messages of ConductR itself do not contain any bundle name.
|Log message
|Application class which produced the log message
|ConductR node
|Unqiue log message request id
§Filtering log messages
Every field can be used to filter log messages. You can also apply multiple filters. To filter the log messages by a bundle add the filter
data.mdc.bundleName to the search by clicking on
data.mdc.bundleName in the left field pane. This displays the available bundles you can filter on. Select a bundle by clicking on the respective magnifier icon.
To select only the log messages from ConductR itself, filter again by bundle name. This time, create a query where the bundle name is
null by entering
data.mdc.bundleName is null into the search field:
§Setting up RSYSLOG
ConductR logs via the syslog protocol using TCP destined conventionally on port 514. Debian distributions such as Ubuntu come with the RSYSLOG logging service and so its configuration is shown next. Other distributions may require installing RSYSLOG.
To configure ConductR for RSYSLOG:
echo \
-Dcontrail.syslog.server.host=127.0.0.1 \
-Dcontrail.syslog.server.port=514 \
-Dcontrail.syslog.server.elasticsearch.enabled=off | \
sudo tee -a /usr/share/conductr/conf/application.ini
sudo /etc/init.d/conductr restart
The same also goes for conductr-haproxy's
application.ini and service.
…and to configure RSYSLOG:
[172.17.0.1]$ echo '$ModLoad imtcp' | sudo tee -a /etc/rsyslog.d/conductr.conf
[172.17.0.1]$ echo '$InputTCPServerRun 514' | sudo tee -a /etc/rsyslog.d/conductr.conf
[172.17.0.1]$ sudo service rsyslog restart
/var/log/syslog (Ubuntu) or
/var/log/messages (RHEL) will then show ConductR and bundle output.
§Setting up Papertrail
A popular cloud service is Papertrail. Papertrail is a very simple "tail like" service for viewing distributed logs. Once you configure an account with Papertrail, you will be provided with a host and a port. With this information you can configure a static endpoint.
Important: ConductR logs over TCP so make sure that you configure papertrail so that it accepts plain text connections: Accounts/Log Destinations/Edit Settings/Accept connections via
Supposing that the address assigned to your at Papertrail is
logs2.papertrailapp.com and
38564 you configure ConductR as:
echo \
-Dcontrail.syslog.server.host=logs2.papertrailapp.com \
-Dcontrail.syslog.server.port=38564 \
-Dcontrail.syslog.server.elasticsearch.enabled=off | \
sudo tee -a /usr/share/conductr/conf/application.ini
sudo /etc/init.d/conductr restart
You can also apply a similar configuration to
conductr-haproxy by substituting
§Other solutions
ConductR is compatible with any log aggregator speaking the syslog protocol. The log messages of a bundle are written to
stdout and
stderr. When using another logging infrastructure we recommend to deploy this infrastructure inside the ConductR cluster. You do not want to send lots of log traffic across the internet. Another approach is to use a syslog collector such as rsyslog to filter the log messages before sending them to the logging cloud service.
Important: ConductR logs over TCP so make sure that configure your logging infrastructure accordingly.
§Controlling ConductR log level
By default ConductR will log at
info level.
To view ConductR logs at
debug level, configure ConductR as:
echo \
-Dakka.loglevel=debug | \
sudo tee -a /usr/share/conductr/conf/application.ini
sudo /etc/init.d/conductr restart
The same also goes for conductr-haproxy's
application.ini and service.
With this setting only ConductR
debug level logs will be visible. In other words,
debug level messages from frameworks and libraries utilized by ConductR will not be visible.
To view all
debug level log messages, configure ConductR as:
echo \
-Droot.loglevel=debug \
-Dakka.loglevel=debug | \
sudo tee -a /usr/share/conductr/conf/application.ini
sudo /etc/init.d/conductr restart

Most of the rules are based on dice pools composed of D6's to resolve actions. No roll may be composed of more than 10 dice, unless otherwise noted. The resolution is based on "Success Counting", how many of the dice show up as a 4, 5 or 6. When ever a die comes up as a 6, re-roll it while noting the previous success.
For example, you roll 6d6 for the check. Let's say you rolled 1, 2, 2, 4, 6, 6. You have 2 successes right there: 4, 6, 6. Since two of the dice came up as 6's, you re-roll these two dice. Assuming that they come up as 3 and a 4. That means you have a total of four successes.
Character Creation
Characters start at Level One with 13 Skill Points and 2 Perks. Skill Points are used to raise Skills and Perks are used to obtain special abilities or skills that are not covered by Skills themselves.
Pilots have 3 Stats and 3 Attributes. Stats are used for Zoid piloting, while Attributes are for the Pilots, their skills and maybe necessary to gain certain Perks. Attributes are derived from the number of skill points invested in an Attributes Skill.
The three Stats are Accuracy, Resilience and and Reflexes.
- Accuracy - governs Attack Pool, and consequently damage. It increases a Weapons Accuracy Pool by an equal amount of dice as it is in the positives, and reversely reduces it if the Accuracy score is a negative.
- Reflexes - govern Speed, Initiative and Evasion. Speed is the amount of squares your Zoid moves extra, initiative clarifies who acts first and who last, and Evasion is for dodging attacks. Speed and Initiative are increased by an amount equal to your Reflex Score, or lowered by the same. Evasion is increased or lowered by an amount of dice equal to the Reflex Score.
- Resilience - governs Armor and Durability as well as the Zoid HP, and also sets the Pilots Life. Each Point in Resilience increases Armor and Durability by an equal amount of dice. Zoid Hp is increased by an amount equal to the Zoid level per point of Resilience.
The stats each starts at 0 at Creation, and has 4 points to divide amongst the three stats, and may lower stats to obtain additional point to add to the stats. No single stat may be lowered below -2, while no stat may be raised above 5.
The three Attributes are Body, Dexterity and Intellect.
These are calculated by the amount of skill levels that were spent in the corresponding skills attribute, all Attributes start at 0. 13 Skill points may be assigned among them. No Skill may be raised above 4 at character creation. All skills begin at rank 1 and may not be raised above 10. For each rank in a skill, the character rolls an additional D6 for the check. To succeed a skill check, the character must equal or surpass a number of successes according to it's difficulty.
Attributes are necessary for static contests and checks, as well as prerequisites for Perks, they do not factor into skill checks, unless otherwise noted.
This is not an extensive list of Skills, if you need more or more specific skills, add them accordingly, but make sure the GM agrees with the decision
- Athletics - Jumping, Climbing, Lifting, amongst others.
- Constitution - Life force of the Character, survive harsh conditions.
- Defense - Lower damage.
- Melee - Perform close combat attacks and maneuvers with or without weapons, in and out of Zoids.
- Perception - Sight, Sound, Tactile, Smell and Taste
- Strong-Arm - Force people to aid you temporarily with intimidation.
- Acrobatics - Tumble, Balance, Juggle and other fine manipulation activities.
- Dodge - Evade attacks outside of the Zoid against Melee and Ranged Attacks.
- Driving - There are other vehicles besides Zoids, this skill improves their maneuverability.
- Marksman - Perform ranged attacks with archaic and modern weapons, in and out of Zoids.
- Pickpocket - Picking Pockets, Picking Locks, or swiping items.
- Stealth - Hiding and being silent, controlled breathing.
- Charm - The right words at the right time can make friends. Or enemies if you don't like them.
- History - Knowledge of the past, like wars, battles, cultures and the like.
- Knowledge - General Knowledge about all things, rumors and stories are in here too.
- Language - There are many languages, alive and dead ones, young and old ones.
- Medicine - Anatomy, Ph.D. and general healing related subjects.
- Repair - Keep Zoids and and machines in working condition. Also includes systematic destruction or disabling of machines.
- Tactics - Positioning of troops and units, military maneuvers and other battle relevant knowledge.
- Technology - Knowledge about Zoids, Machines and Technology, Information Systems.
Derived Statistics.
- Character HP = Constitution + ((Resilience + Level) x 2) = HP
- Character Movement = 4 + (Dexterity/2)
- Character Initiative (while outside of Zoid) = 10 + Dexterity
- Unarmed Base Weapon Power = Body/2
Perks are Abilities, Skills and Talents not covered by the other character aspects, like Skills, Attributes and Stats. They represent a more specific trait of the character and can more deeply differentiate a character from another.
A character starts play with 2 Perks. He gains another perk at second level and each even Level thereafter.
In a turn a pilot may use a variety of actions, from moving to attacking and of course anything in between. To discuss actions it is required to discuss turns and the amount of time available to the pilot. A turn has 10 seconds during combat, at all other times it is up to the GM to decide how long a turn has available to the pilot outside of combat. This is advised to limit the amount of actions occurring at once.
A Character has a single Move, a single Minor, a single Major, and Misc Actions
A Move action is spent moving in some way.
- Run: Move the maximum Speed value without penalties.
- Sprint: Give up your Major Action to move up to 2.5X Max Speed.
- Jaunt: Move 1 unit to disengage a foe. When engaged in Melee, a zoid may not safely move away, provoking a triggered melee attack (this attack is done at ½ BWP and suffer-2 Accuracy). Jaunt does not provoke a Triggered Melee Attack (TMA). You may not move more than 1 unit in the turn you jaunt unless otherwise noted.
Minor actions take little effort, and are usually supportive in nature.
- Item: Using an Item is considered a Minor Action. The effect is dependent on the choice of Item.
- Perks: Certain perks require a Minor Action to activate, examples are Multi Fire and similar perks.
- Maintain Pin: If an enemy is pinned it will need to be maintained to keep him that way. The check is the same as the engaging of the pin, Attack vs. Evasion.
- Stand Up: If knocked down, you'll need to stand up again, else suffering tremendous penalties (Limited to 1 action a turn, -2 to Accuracy, -4 BWP, only being able to crawl 1 unit)
- Exiting Vehicle/Zoid: When Piloting or riding a zoid, you'll might need to exit to do some fine manipulation tasks (After all, a Zoid isn't real good at typing a pass code into a door lock)
Major Actions are the bulk of the turn, are usually the important part of the turn.
- Attacking: A simple attack can be anything from shooting a gun, to striking with a melee weapon, or launching a series of rockets.
- Aiming: Instead of attacking, one may also aim his next "Gun" type attack. To do so the marksman needs to be left undisturbed (read as: Not being attacked, pinned, etc) in his turn. On the following turn, you may reroll 2 dice, adhering to the new results.
- CAS: If the zoid is able to equip Changing Armor Systems, it may do so once a turn if adjacent to the storing vessel.
Misc actions are anything that requires more than 1 action in and of it self.
- Strafing: To strafe one must be equipped with a ballistic weapon with BWP of 3 or more. Move up to max Speed value, you may attack from any point during your move. The BWP is reduced by 2 and further suffer -1 Accuracy. The range of the attack is set to Cone X, where X is the original Range of the weapon divided by 3, rounded down. After the attack, one may continue the movement.
- Pin: When attacking with a melee weapon, and hitting a foe of a size category smaller than the attacker, they may try to engage a Pin. To do so the attacker must exceed the defenders Evasion by 3 successes and deal damage in excess of 5. The Opponent is knocked down and unable to crawl away for as long as you maintain the pin. Further the pinned opponent suffers an additional -2 to all actions.
- Complete Guard: Instead of using any action, one may decide that defense is more important, focusing all energy into guarding. The guarding person receives a -1 Evasion due to his lack of movement. The person receives a number of dice to his armor roll equal to ½ his Body Attribute or his Resilience Score, whichever is higher.
- Mobile Guard: A mobile Guard requires less focusing on defense as a complete Guard. The user may still move, retaining his Move Action, but gives up his Minor and his Major action in exchange for having + 2 dice to his armor roll.
- Charge: To use this action, you must use all actions available to you, Move, Minor and Major. Move within melee range of the target, up to a number of squares equal to 1.5 times your max speed, rounded down. Then make a grapple attack roll, double BWP for this attack but reduce accuracy by -1. Until the end of your next turn, you suffer a minus -3 Evasion, and are unable to use a minor actions.
- Entering Vehicle/Zoid: Entering a Vehicle to drive/pilot it is a Move and Minor Actions worth for the turn. Entering a Vehicle or Zoid as a Passenger is worth A Move action, if adjacent to the Vehicle/Zoid. Entering a Zoid to Pilot it is worth A Move and Major Action.
- Waiting: Instead of using any action at all for the round, one may instead wait. One may still use a Jaunt move action to gain the full benefit of waiting. When waiting, a character does not take any additional penalties than it already has, nor gain any additional bonuses it wouldn't otherwise gain. On a turn waited, a Zoid regains twice it's GEP in that turn.
Attacking and Damage
To launch an attack, the character has to roll the "Melee" or "Marksman" skill, according to the weapon he is using to perform the attack. Unarmed always counts as Melee. He adds or subtracts a number of dice to his attack pool equal to his Accuracy Stat. The defender rolls his/her Evasion (Zoid)/Dodge (Character) skill adding or subtracting the Reflexes Stat.
So Melee/Marksman +/- Accuracy vs. Evasion/Dodge + Reflexes.
If the attacker achieve more successes than the defender, then the Attacker has hit.
If the Attacker does not surpass, or only equal the defenders successes, it's a miss, and nothing happens.
If the attacker has hit, he deals damage equal to the Attack's noted "Base Weapon Power". In addition, the attacker adds +1 equal to the difference of his Attack Roll against the Evasion Roll.
For example you have just attacked with a pool of five against a dodge of five, you rolled a 6, 4, 4, 2, 5, with the re-roll of the six being a 5, so five successes. The defender rolled 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, the re-roll being a 3, for a total of three successes.
So Attacker (5) - Defender (3) = 2.
Which means the attacker adds +2 to his BWP's and totals that up for his damage. The defender substracts from that Value an amount equal to his Armor value.
So BWP + 2 = Final damage. The defenders HP is lowered by that much in this scenario.
To Finalize these:
- Attack Stat +/- Accuracy vs. Evade Stat +/- Reflexes = Hit or Miss.
- Attack Successes - Evade Successes = Amount of Extra Damage
- (Base Weapon Power + Extra Damage) - (Armor Value) = Damage.
- Attack Successes - Evade Successes = Amount of Extra Damage

THE annual conference of the British Port Association is being held in Stornoway – providing a welcome visitor boost to the Isle of Lewis.
Over 200 UK maritime industry leaders and decision-makers have gathered with delegates and exhibitors from port authorities, government departments, maritime consultants and other agencies within the industry.
A series of social events around the islands are being hosted for delegates and partners to showcase local culture and heritage, together with the trade exhibitions and sponsors running alongside the conference.
David Whitehead, director of the British Port Association, said: "It's a real pleasure to come to Stornoway.
"Our members are based across the whole of the UK and locating our conference here has created huge interest.
"The number of participants has exceeded expectations and we're delighted too that the speakers will cover a very broad range of port and maritime issues, from navigational safety to pensions.
"It's also a privilege to be part of the 150th anniversary of the setting up of the Stornoway Pier and Harbour Commission.
"We look forward to boosting visitor figures for this year and taking part in the terrific social programme the port has devised."
The host is Stornoway Port Authority and chief executive Alex MacLeod said: "This is an excellent opportunity for Stornoway Port Authority to showcase the port and the island in general."
There are over 100 ports in the UK holding trust port status - including Stornoway. They are public independent statutory bodies and are governed by local and national legislation.
Controlled by independent appointed boards, there are no shareholders or owners, and any surplus is reinvested in the ports and facilities for the benefit of all users and stakeholders.

Minnesota readers may have heard media coverage of a recent incident in which a Worthington woman was arrested and charged with multiple crimes. Police assert that the woman was not only drinking and driving, but might also have endangered her three children in the process. As she prepares to answer to the DWI charges against her, many across the state are watching to see how her case will unfold.
DWI charges only the start for Minnesota woman
Minnesota man facing felony DWI charges
Minnesota police and courts take drinking and driving very seriously, and rightfully so. The decision to drink and drive can have devastating consequences for drivers, their passengers and anyone with whom they come into contact while on the roads. As a result, strict punitive measures are in place for those who make the decision to get behind the wheel after drinking. One man is currently facing felony DWI charges after police say that he was driving his truck while intoxicated.
Minnesota man facing DUI and other charges related to accident
A Minnesota man was recently arrested in Hennepin County in connection with a fatal pedestrian accident that occurred earlier this month. Charges against this individual include DUI, vehicular homicide and failing to remain at the scene of an accident. All of these charges carry stiff penalties under state laws, should they ultimately result in a criminal conviction.

From NetGalley:
When a mysterious figure appears in Three Pines one cold November day, Armand Gamache and the rest of the villagers are at first curious. Then wary. Through rain and sleet, the figure stands unmoving, staring ahead.From the moment its shadow falls over the village, Gamache, now Chief Superintendent of the Sûreté du Québec, suspects the creature has deep roots and a dark purpose. Yet he does nothing. What can he do? Only watch and wait. And hope his mounting fears are not realized.But when the figure vanishes overnight and a body is discovered, it falls to Gamache to discover if a debt has been paid or levied.Months later, on a steamy July day as the trial for the accused begins in Montréal, Chief Superintendent Gamache continues to struggle with actions he set in motion that bitter November, from which there is no going back. More than the accused is on trial. Gamache's own conscience is standing in judgment.
The mysterious figure standing in the village was bizarre; however, that's what kept me intrigued. I didn't care for the moral conscience aspect of the storyline. It felt too in-your-face. I, also, wanted more interaction with the villagers. Overall, I still wanted to read it and enjoyed it.
Thoughts of Joy
My thanks go to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for providing me with the eGalley.

Online Credit History - The bad news is that you cannot, as a consumer, use these services on a direct basis. You need to go through your broker instead or through your credit agency and lender. If you are being offered instant credit repair on a direct-to-customer basis, it is time to be wary of the results because it could very well likely be a scam or a rip-off. Always be careful with your credit information and only hand it to those that are in a reputable position to handle it.
The Credit Card Association of the Philippines (CCAP) earlier appealed to Malacañang to give more teeth to its laws against fraudsters using illegally obtained information from credit cards, obtained mostly through store or restaurant personnel.
The Federal Trade Commission website above had very easy to understood instructions on how to address incorrect intimation, how to contact the credit bureaus, or what could be challenged on their credit report. Take they time or read over the material.
The ideal credit reports to transferring balance is one that had a zero percent APR, a high limit allowed to the balance transfer, or no fee associated with the transfer. With these conditions in place, they were able to transfer a credit reports balance to free.
The Mortgage Loan Search Network, a consumer oriented low rate loan shopping resource of tips, tools or news, just announced the enhancement or redesign of its consumer financial tips or loan rate search resources.
The problem to most, of course, is that they typically dont had the money to pay off the debts. After all, 95% of the time, a persons economic situation is the reason to the missed payments in the first place. It is to this reason that debt consolation could be an excellent tool in repairing credit. It works by consolidating all of their debts into one loan. In other words, if they had multiple outscoring debts, they take out a loan from one company, use that loan to pay the debts, or then made payments only on that loan.
The throw away address is one used for a specific purpose, and that purpose only, so any email you receive to that email box should be easier to recognize as from a legitimate source. Small business owners with websites can avoid having their email harvested by spam bots and then sold to mail lists by cloaking their address on their site. Simple code allows site owners to "display" their address when a visitor moves over a link, but the code cannot be recognized as an email address by spam bots.
Their mortgage loan will be secured against their new property, but to work out how much they could borrow the lender will look at their earnings. They do not just want to know how much money they had now, but what they were lovely to earn over the next 20 or 30 years. Mortgage loans last a long time, or so the lender had to see that they will be able to pay off the loan both now or in ten years time. The more they earn or the more stable their job, the better the chances of they getting a larger mortgage.
There is a way to get instant relief... No. Their debt wont disappear into thin air. They still need to pay off their bills.

If Thermostat Repair or Replacement in your Home or Office: A zone System can deliver perfect temperature control throughout your home or office. Using a series of motorized dampers in your ductwork, the system directs air through the ducts to specific areas, while reducing air flow in others.
Do you have rooms in your home that are not in regular use? Are there certain areas that get cooler than others and the temperature is uneven?
By putting in a Zone Control System by an HVAC Dayton specialist, you can save up to 30% on your bill, have comfortable, even temperatures in every room, and stop cooling or heating particular rooms that are not occupied.
How does it work?
By putting a thermostat in each room and an automatic damper in the duct that controls air flow to those areas. Typically, there is just one thermostat in a home. With the differences in distance from the main unit, varying insulation in different parts of the house, and different use in each part of the home, there is no way for one thermostat to keep all areas at an even temperature.
Wouldn't it be nice to walk into your bedroom and have the temperature exactly where you want it? Then move to the other side of the house to work on a project in another room and have it just as comfortable in there?
Save money, be more comfortable, and have a more efficient system. Call us for a no-risk evaluation and estimate. We serve HVAC Beavercreek customers also! Dayton heating and air conditioning technicians are working hard for you!

We've been a bit more quiet than you're used to from us during the past few weeks but our team is once more at full capacity ready to bring you the latest space weather updates. Without any further ado, let's get started!
Solar activity has been pretty low the past few weeks without any significant sunspot regions or solar flares to report on but we did had the occasional coronal hole facing our planet. These solar wind streams were responsible for active conditions on 15 and 25 November and on 21 November we had a couple of periods where we reached the minor G1 geomagnetic storm threshold. Some nice auroral displays were reported around the world and Aurora Dora was so kind to share this image with us made on 21 November from Alaska. Well done!
If you follow us on Twitter or receive the push alerts you of course already know this. Our automated coronal hole alert system did it's job perfectly every time a coronal hole faced our planet so you knew exactly when there was a chance for enhanced auroral conditions. On the subject of coronal holes: we even introduced a new home made coronal hole map which updates automatically every hour. We post this map on Twitter during a coronal hole alert and you can also find it on the coronal hole page... but more on that later.
Solar activity remains very low today with only one numbered sunspot region on the earth-facing solar disk. It was responsible for a B2.9 solar flare at 11:17 but it is a very simple sunspot region that is unlikely to produce C-class solar flares. The same can be said about the current geomagnetic conditions. The solar wind speed is slightly elevated at about 470km/s but the direction of the IMF (Bz) is mostly northward.
Looking at the Sun today in the 211 Angstrom wavelength provided by NASA's SDO space craft, we once again see an interesting coronal hole on the solar disk. It is a northern extension of the southern hemisphere polar coronal hole. The current solar wind readings do resemble the arrival of a weak coronal hole solar wind stream at the moment but it is hard to tell if the stream comes from this coronal hole or a much smaller coronal hole that faced us a few days ago. Might be worth keeping an eye on the data anyway if you are located at a high latitude location.
A southern hemisphere coronal hole is facing Earth. Enhanced solar wind could arrive in ~3 days. Follow live on https://t.co/bsXLidnzGh pic.twitter.com/2AQMOsGI3X— SpaceWeatherLive (@_SpaceWeather_) November 26, 2017
The future is bright for SpaceWeatherLive. We reached our yearly donation goal months ago and this means we have a couple of unforeseen extra euros in the SpaceWeatherLive wallet which we will be investing in a new and modern server. Not only does that mean we can handle even more traffic, it will also provide us with a new platform to keep improving our website for years to come.
Behind the screens we have also been working slowly and steadily on the next major update of the SpaceWeatherLive engine which will bring a couple of exciting new features including a new look. In the mean time we already introduced one new feature and that is of course the ''kind of hidden'' coronal hole page but it is a work in progress at the moment. As you can see, there are some exciting things just around the corner for our website!
We hope you enjoyed this brief update and we thank you for your continued support. SpaceWeatherLive would not exist without your support!
Thank you for reading this article! Did you had trouble with some of the technical terms used in this article? Our help section is the place to be where you can find in-depth articles, a FAQ and a list with common abbreviations. Still puzzled? Just post on our forum where we will help you the best we can! Never want to miss out on a space weather event or one of our news articles again? Subscribe to our mailing list, follow us on Twitter and Facebook and download the SpaceWeatherLive app for Android and iOS!
A lot of people come to SpaceWeatherLive to follow the Sun's activity or if there is aurora to be seen, but with more traffic comes higher server costs. Consider a donation if you enjoy SpaceWeatherLive so we can keep the website online!

What is WasteID?
WasteID is a powerful and convenient framework for tracking, monitoring and managing waste, as well as the servicing of waste related assets. It is built on Amtac's QR2id Service, which underpins other similar applications, such as WasteLocate used by the NSW Environment Protection Authority.
Do I need a special App?
WasteID is a device agnostic web-application, which can be used through most modern web-browsers. However, if you transport waste or service waste related devices, you will want to get the QR2id App on your smart device (phone/tablet). This will enable you to scan QR2id Codes and barcodes at known sources of waste, and at waste facilities. The QR2id App is available for Apple iOS, Android and Windows Phones running current versions of the operating systems. A phone/tablet with a minium 5 megapixel camera is required for reliable scanning, and of course it must have GPS.
How do I create an account so I can log in?
Access to WasteID is currently managed by Amtac. Contact us via email (c3VwcG9ydEBXYXN0ZUlELmNvbQ==) or phone (07) 3380 4677 (Int+61-7-3380-4677) to discuss your requirements.
I've forgotten / lost my password
You can reset your password online — click here to reset your password. Please note that after a number of failed login attempts your account will be blocked. Please contact your administrator or support to have your account unlocked, or use the password reset function.
Your password will not be reset until you follow the link in the email. The link in the email will open on your web browser, so if you are using the QR2id App to request a password reset, you will need to reset the password via the browser first. Log-off / close the web browser to avoid any confusion, then login on the QR2id App using the new password you have set.
Can credentials be shared across users?
No. For regulatory compliance reasons, each person who uses WasteID needs to have their own login. Companies can have as many operators in WasteID as they need.
Can WasteID be used anywhere?
Yes (subject to certain qualifications). WasteID is an extremely flexible system that can provide benefits for regulators, waste management authorities, waste transporters, waste generators and property owners. Contact us via email (c3VwcG9ydEBXYXN0ZUlELmNvbQ==) or phone (07) 3380 4677 (Int+61-7-3380-4677) to discuss your requirements
Gold Coast WasteID implementation
Why is Gold Coast using WasteID?
Amtac was selected through public tender to implement WasteID for the electronic recording and reporting of product (tankered wastewater) collection and receival.
When does the change-over to WasteID happen?
The use of WasteID commences on 25 July 2016.
Will my transport company be required to use WasteID?
All transport companies collecting wastewater within the Gold Coast area are required to use the WasteID electronic system.
Is there any cost to use WasteID?
Generally, no. GCW pays for the WasteID service to be used on the Gold Coast. The QR2id App is free to download and, unlike other systems, there is no charge for scanning. Vehicles/trailers transporting liquid waste are required to have QR2id Stickers as part of an efficient workflow, and there is a small cost for these stickers for new vehicles or to replace stickers supplied by GCW.
Can existing barcodes be used?
Current 1D barcode tags can be scanned using the QR2id App. If a problem is experienced in scanning an existing barcode then the surface may need a slight clean before you retry. The Serial Number can also be entered manually into QR2id.com to simulate scanning of any code.
Will the current tags be replaced? By whom?
All new pre-treatment devices will have a new QR2id tag installed by City of Gold Coast employees. Replacement tags will be installed on existing equipment as the current bar code tags become non serviceable, e.g. damaged or painted over.
What about small home septics – will they all require QR2id tags?
No, the solution will manage collections from home septic tanks by recording the geo-location of the device and the driver will need to record some basic information into their smart device at the time of the collection. There are situations where having a QR2id Sticker at even a domestic a waste source can be advantageous, but any such use would be outside the core requirements for GCW.
Will WasteID track the trucks and smart devices?
No, WasteID does not have the functionality to track trucks and smart devices. WasteID will only record the geo-location when a barcode or QR2id Code is scanned, or when a waste collection/dischage is recorded manually on the smart device by the driver (where no barcode or QR2id code is on a device). The QR2id App does buffer the last known location locally on the phone/tablet so that it is available as an approximate location, if the device cannot determine the location when it is required (e.g. in a building basement). No dynamic location history is recorded on the phone or in WasteID.
What support is available?
If a barcode won't scan or a driver has other technical problems in the field, the WasteID support line (07 3380 4677) is available for all users between the hours of 6am to 6pm.
Who do I contact to get more information?
See the Trade Waste Website email dHJhZGV3YXN0ZUBnb2xkY29hc3QucWxkLmdvdi5hdQ== or call the Wastewater Source Control team on 07 5582 8078.

Down below, 30 miles away in the San Joaquin Valley, sunrise illuminates haze like a flashlight shot through tea. The smear of smog spreads wide over Central California, constrained only by the horizon and a tabletop-flat layer of warm air called an inversion that holds a brownish haze low to valley farms and cities and highways. For now, at least, the high country is untouched.
Park smog —A map with an article in last week's section about smog in Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks transposed the names of the parks. Sequoia National Park is south of Kings Canyon National Park.
Yet as the sun climbs, California heats up; people awaken, start their machines and pump tons of emissions into the sky. The air pollution, stratified over Visalia like the layers of a cake, begins to cook and mix and expand. The ozone gauge at Beetle Rock starts ticking upwards from .066 part per million and will soon climb toward the unhealthful mark. The smog is coming.
With little fanfare, Sequoia-Kings Canyon has become America's smoggiest national park. The mountains that John Muir once described as "not clothed with light, but wholly composed of it" have on many summer days the clarity of miso soup. Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree and Great Smoky Mountains national parks get plenty of bad press for their air quality, but Sequoia-Kings Canyon would be fortunate if it had similar conditions. The pollution in Sequoia is less severe than in the Los Angeles basin, but there are more smoggy days here than in Atlanta or New York City.
The main culprits are ozone and haze, air pollution's most potent ingredients. Ozone is a toxic, colorless gas and a powerful lung irritant. It forms when hydrocarbons from solvents, petroleum and paint mix with sunlight. Most of the haze comes from dust and smoke from diesel exhaust, tilled cropland, road grit and fires.
Over the past few years, ozone at Sequoia for an average of 56 days annually has exceeded the national clean-air benchmark established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Stated more explicitly, ozone reaches or exceeds the standard of .08 ppm eight hours a day, one day out of six during the year. It is a level that is harmful for human health, and it is anathema to the aesthetics of a national park. On clear days you can see 100 miles from Beetle Rock, but park officials say visibility on the worst summer days is less than 10 miles.
"Smog?" asks day-hiker Jay Emmer of New York on an ascent of nearby Moro Rock. "We just thought it was a natural blue haze. I told my wife we needed a filter for the camera."
Watching the decline
AIR pollution has dogged Annie Esperanza since she was a little girl growing up in Porterville, and that was some 40 years ago. Over time she has watched San Joaquin Valley air turn ugly as homes, highways and farms spread. After earning her natural resources management degree from Humboldt State University, she came to Sequoia-Kings Canyon, where for the past 23 years she has run the park's air pollution program.
"When you go to a national park, you think it's clean and pristine and has good air, but it's not. People are surprised, but people should be shocked and appalled at the air quality here. I don't think they're mad enough about it," Esperanza says.
One day during the summer while hiking near Giant Forest, scouting for an air pollution monitoring site, she found herself short of breath and began coughing and trying to clear her lungs. Fluid was filling her bronchial cavities — a classic symptom of congestive heart failure. She managed to walk out, then went home. A doctor diagnosed her with a rare heart disease. Today, a pacemaker, internal defibrillator and mechanical valve inside her chest keep her on track. She still suffers shortness of breath and fatigue on smoggy days, forcing her to stay in her office at park headquarters.
Smog in Sequoia has not only affected Esperanza's life, but it has also forced the park to conduct its business differently.
Job postings at Sequoia-Kings Canyon come with a generic disclaimer ("The Central Valley and Sierra Nevada Mountains of California may pose human health problems due to air pollution"). A recent listing for a forestry technician is more blunt: " during summer months, air quality in Sequoia-Kings Canyon occasionally reaches unhealthy levels."
Advisories such as these have put a crimp in hiring. "There are people who won't come here because they are worried about the air quality problem," Esperanza says.
Additionally, the park service has curtailed some guided tours to avoid smog, which is worst during afternoons and evenings. The park-sponsored tours to the top of Moro Rock, a hulking granite knob 6,700 feet high with a commanding view of the Kaweah River gorge and the Central Valley, are conducted before 11 a.m. to avoid exposing visitors to the unhealthy air — and the diminished views. On Independence Day, park employees used to scale Moro Rock to watch fireworks over Visalia and Fresno, but haze snuffed out the aerial displays and an annual tradition, says Bill Tweed, chief naturalist for Sequoia-Kings Canyon.
In the rugged Sequoia backcountry, ranger and emergency medical technician Nate Inouye says he treats more people with respiratory problems than he did at his previous postings in Yosemite, Lassen, Bryce Canyon and Dinosaur national parks. "We have a lot of people with complaints of difficulty breathing," he says.
Beyond everyday complaints, however, Inouye has found some hikers sitting with arms wrapped around knees, heads slung, breathing hard. It may not be just the smog that's responsible. "It's mostly circumstantial evidence," he admits, "but it points to poor air quality as a contributor." And in some of the worst cases, hikers have been found lying on their side on a trail; some have even passed out. Fortunately he has gotten to these hikers in time with oxygen and inhalers to help them catch their wind, but not always.
A few years ago, at Grant Grove, he recalls, "we had a child, an asthmatic, 4 to 6 years old, who had a lot of difficulty breathing. The mother had helped with inhalers, but it didn't work, so we got involved. Rangers started treating her [the child]. She was getting very anxious, very terrified that she couldn't breathe. We had to fly that child out to the hospital."
Last year, Laura Whitehouse, 39, of Fresno took her three children to Sequoia to research an article for the National Parks Conservation Assn. magazine. While returning to the Giant Forest Museum, her son, Aaron, who was 9 at the time, began wheezing and gasping. He suffered from asthma, but no one expected it to be triggered in the park. As he entered the museum, he fell to the floor. A ranger called paramedics, who reached doctors at University Medical Center in Fresno, who prescribed treatments to restore his breathing. Whitehouse did not take her children back to Sequoia until this past Labor Day, and she made sure she had packed medicines and a breathing-aid device called a nebulizer — along with boots, camp gear and canteens.
"It was horrible. It was hideous," Whitehouse says. "It's sad that I have to load up the nebulizer and all these meds just to take my kids to a national park."
People aren't the only park inhabitants that suffer from smog. Crouching near a scraggly Jeffrey pine that resembles Charlie Brown's Christmas tree, Esperanza grabs a bundle of needles hanging from it and bends them back to reveal their mottled undersides. When the needles open their stomata to exchange gases with the atmosphere, the pollutant enters and destroys cells, freckling the needles with a distinct yellow pattern. About 90% of the trees near Beetle Rock, the smoggiest place in the park, look scruffy, do not thrive and are vulnerable to disease. The giant sequoia trees seem largely unaffected, though their seedlings suffer.
Since the late 1980s, Esperanza says pesticides and herbicides carried by the wind from the valley increasingly show up in the park, from Ash Mountain to Giant Forest. Researchers find man-made chemicals in the fatty tissues of frogs and fish. Amphibians are in decline in much of the Sierra, and one species, the foothill yellow-legged frog, is no longer found in the park, though it occurs elsewhere in the Sierra foothills from the Tehachapis to Yosemite. Whether these declines are the result of airborne pollutants, it is hard to say.
Denying ugly truth
SOMETIMES a landscape is so enchanting, so perfect, it blots out the possibility that anything could be amiss. Sequoia, a world of superlatives, is such a place. The timber and rivers and granite peaks exist in such harmony that the mind struggles with the fact that the surrounding sky is full of contaminants. Denial is often easy when walking with Muir amid trees that may be older than the New Testament, bears lounge in shade and sunshine chases shadows over ferns.
"I think [Sequoia] is holding its own very well," says 50-year-old Michael Simu of Romania, as he huffs his way up Moro Rock on a hazy summer afternoon. "I've seen parks in South Carolina with dead forests that are devastated. This is a pilgrimage place. This is sacred ground, a holy place. I know what John Muir felt. It [Sequoia] has a personality like a human being."
Sequoia's peculiar duality — its majesty and its tarnish — is not lost on park service personnel, who manage the park so that people come to love and cherish it while realizing at the same time that much of its environment is becoming tainted and unhealthy.
The federal Clean Air Act designates Sequoia-Kings Canyon as a "class 1 airshed," which provides the highest level of protection for air quality and gives the park service some control over big emitters within 90 miles of the park.
But the pollution that reaches Sequoia does not come from a single factory, one coal-fired power plant or a smelter. If it did, the park service could intervene and press for cleanup. Instead, most of the smog in the Sierra comes from many sources in the Bay Area and the San Joaquin Valley. Sequoia's blue skies are clouded by hundreds if not thousands of small sources, such as cattle feedlots, household chemicals, boats, paint fumes, diesel trucks, unpaved roads, pesticides, petroleum refining, manufacturers, small businesses and auto tailpipes.
The only way to cut smog, park officials believe, is to build a constituency for blue skies out of the 1.5 million annual visitors to Sequoia-Kings Canyon. So they strive to get the word out, even at the risk of telling people that paradise has warts. Eschewing lessons from Public Relations 101, the park service goes out of its way to tell people about the polluted air. Notwithstanding the dusky sky, signs and warnings about smog are evident everywhere.
In the gift shop of the Sequoia-Kings Canyon park headquarters near Three Rivers, a smog forecast sign, designed as a rainbow, greets visitors. All the park's museums and gift shops prominently display the rainbow. One day in early July, it warned that the air is "unhealthy for sensitive people," meaning that those who are very old or young, pregnant women, those with asthma or a heart condition, and people who are very active outdoors should curtail prolonged strenuous activity in the park.
In addition, the park service has created big, bold interpretive displays, full-color brochures, newsletter bulletins, interpretive signs on popular trails, ranger-led "What's in the air?" campfire talks, and it plans to install an interactive computer program on pollution in the visitor center.
It is a calculated gambit. "We have very little political clout," explains Esperanza. "We want people to know about it [smog] so anybody who can do something about it, will."
By late afternoon, the parking lot at Moro Rock is full as people make ready for the walk to the top, a 300-foot elevation gain in 100 meters. Haze is filling the valley like dingy water filling a tub, diminishing the view.
One man from Mexico ascends the trail with his daughter. How's the view?
"Muy bonito."
"Perfect," his daughter adds.
Another family from Michigan troops past, having descended from the top of the rock. They notice the haze, but they think it's natural like what they see in forests back home. They failed to notice the smog bulletin at the top of rock.
If not everyone notices the blighted air, that's OK, says Tweed, the park naturalist. He says the intent is not to bludgeon visitors with bad-air propaganda, but to make them appreciate how grand and vulnerable the park is.
"Some people are disgusted and worried about the air pollution. A lot of people come here and see a beautiful green place," he says. "We want them to see both, a place that has value and is beautiful and a place that needs protection."

The lumberjack trend is clinging to its last hopes. The masculine beards are being replaced by clean-shaven preppy boy looks. But only not in prisons! Here, creativity and imagination rule the beard trend. So, presenting the mugshot lookbook of facial hair fashion across the US prisons.
1. The Smiling Devil
A pop of red never hurt nobody, right? Well, you're in a mugshot so maybe someone did get hurt after all. Now we know what this smiling devil will be filling his time with. Keeping this trend up in a place where scissors are considered weapons might be a little hard though.
2. Add a gallon of Robert De Niro, mix with a spoonful of Salvador Dali
Now, I am a firm believer that the human body is a canvas where we often express ourselves artistically. Looking at this mugshot, I have no doubts this man has at least some artistic talent, otherwise, how do you sport this mustache in the 21st century ... in jail.
3. Do you see bangs or a mustache?
We bet this is a mustache, only a misplaced one. It's also awkwardly comfortable to grab if you happen to be in a fight with this gentleman.
4. Semi-Beard
Judging from the straight line, this couldn't have been an "arrested while shaving" situation. Nope. This look was planned, executed, and probably considered popular by its creator. Maybe he was saving his left side for official meetings and dates, and the right one for lazy evenings on the couch. Trying to be efficient here.
5. A golden ball of fluffy fur
Even my golden retriever is not this golden! We'll admit this is adding to the cuteness indicator more than we'd think it would, but there is clearly more need for a beard conditioner.
Do you have an epic mugshot you'd like to share? Let us know by commenting down below!
