This is a breakout board for the MAX485 RS-485 transceiver IC, which will convert a UART serial stream to RS-485.
RS485 is a half dulpex communication transciever. This breakout boards comes with a terminal screw block for connections to A, B and GND. It also comes with the flexibility to have a jumper solder at the side for other connections.
If you do not want to use the terminal blocks, you could also de-solder and remove the terminal block and replace it with a RJ45 connector. The PCB is design with the option of using RJ45 connectors too!
Hint: If you want to have full-duplex communication. You should explore using 2 of these boards to configure it as RS422.
The following shows how an Arduino can be connected to the breakout board.
Arduino UART
Transmit (eg A2) RX-I
Receive (eg A3) TX-O
Send Enable (eg D2) RTS
The SoftwareSerial library is used in this case.
The pin A2 & A3 are configured respectively as the Data Transmit & Receive pin.
Before sending data, set pin D2 to HIGH logic level.
Then send data using pin A2. When done, set D2 back to LOW logic level.

Long-term tobacco use has all sorts of ill effects, as our parents' and grandparents' generations have shown us. However, you shouldn't assume your child fully understands the consequences of tobacco use and nicotine addiction, especially since the tobacco industry has revamped their products and messaging.
Here are the most recent tobacco trends along with a few ways you can talk to your child about tobacco use.
The Extent of the Tobacco Problem
The good news is, middle and high schoolers who use tobacco are in the minority. These are the 2017 statistics on underage tobacco use from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
|Type of Tobacco
|Middle Schoolers
|Is Use Up or Down?
|High Schoolers
|Is Use Up or Down?
|2.1% in past 30 days
|7.6% in past 30 days
|Electronic Cigarettes
|3.3% in past 30 days
|11.7% in past 30 days
|1.4% in past 30 days
|3.3% in past 30 days
|Smokeless Tobacco
|1.9% are current users
|5.5% are current users
|2+ Tobacco Products
|2.4% in past 30 days
|9.2% in past 30 days
|5.6% are current users
|19.6% are current users
As you can see, only one-fifth of high school students regularly use tobacco products, and even fewer start in middle school. This means that by keeping the lines of communication open, you can help prevent your child from falling into tobacco use at a young age.
A Word on E-Cigarettes
Although many kids and teens believe e-cigarettes – also known as e-cigs or vape pens – are safe, these products often (but not always) contain dangerously high concentrations of nicotine, the chemical derived from the tobacco plant. Thus, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has started recognizing and regulating them like traditional tobacco cigarettes.
E-cigs are especially concerning because we do not yet know the repercussions of continuous use. Many toxic chemicals and carcinogens are included in e-juice ingredients. One study found that high schoolers who vaped within the last month were seven times more likely to report smoking traditional cigarettes within six months compared to their non-vaping peers.
How to Dissuade Your Child From Tobacco Use
Start a Conversation
Step one is making it OK to talk about tobacco use in your home by easing your child into the conversation. Try asking about:
- Their opinion on a news story or video about tobacco
- The general opinion on tobacco at their school
- The habits of their classmates, teammates or friends
This approach allows your child to discuss their feelings candidly without having all the attention on them.
Stay Open-Minded
If you want to have an honest dialogue with your child, they need to be able to discuss tobacco use without fear of repercussions. A kid fearful of punishment or reprimand is unlikely to tell the truth.
You must also prepare yourself for the chance that your child is already addicted to nicotine. If this is the case, try not to overreact. Your child will likely need your help and support to quit.
Find Out What Your Kid Really Thinks About Tobacco
It's important to understand where your child is coming from and what opinions they hold about tobacco products.
Don't be afraid to ask why your child does/doesn't like the idea of tobacco, or why they have/haven't tried a tobacco product. Once you understand their rationale for using or not using tobacco, you can suggest healthier alternatives or delve deeper into the subject.
Set the Record Straight
Though most kids understand that cigarettes cause lung cancer, there's still a lot of misinformation about the other side effects of tobacco. Tell them about both short- and long-term side effects like:
- Having less money to spend on fun
- "Smoker's breath"
- Tooth and nail discoloration
- Reduced athletic performance
- Addiction
- Future health problems
Pull From Your Own Experiences
Kids and teens appreciate knowing that their parents are human beings, too. Share stories about trying tobacco or being offered tobacco and refusing. Include what you were thinking in the moment and whether or not you regretted your decision later.
If you currently use tobacco, it can help to lead by example and quit. However, if this isn't possible, transparency about the side effects of nicotine addiction can go a long way in preventing your kids from going down the same path.
Talk About Ads
While parents have enormous influence in their children's lives, it's still important for your child to learn how to be an educated consumer. Unfortunately, kids are disproportionately swayed by advertising, much of which is targeted at them even if tobacco companies deny it.
Here are a few kid-friendly ways to explain advertising:
- Poke fun at ridiculous ads when watching TV as a family
- Point out common ad tricks, like relying on humor, bright colors, fun flavors, attractive actors and gamification
- Explain how their favorite celebrities (yes, even YouTubers!) get paid to sell their fans products

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- John Wood Group WG, -3.44%, a engineering and services provider to the gas turbine industry, said it's "confident" of a return to growth in 2005 after "a difficult year" for its gas turbine services. Revenue rose 15 percent in 2004 to $2.3 billion. Pre-tax profit for the year eased to $53.7 million from $83 million amid a $26.2 million exceptional charge. Operating earnings declined "as a result of low volumes in the deepwater engineering market reducing our revenues and margins. The economics of deepwater developments remain compelling and the market will grow again," the U.K. group said.

Ascendant opposite Moon
A true partnership
You're able to build a really strong emotional bond. You're in sync a lot of the time when it comes to needs for intimacy and independence. When your partner wants to be close, you're already feeling gooey and sentimental.
When they want to spend some time alone, you feel ready for the same thing, and you're able to create space for each other. What a wonderful balance! Even better yet, you often don't even have to verbalize these needs, because your bond is intuitive. Your partner just picks up on your emotional rhythm or mood of the moment and treats it with respect. This kind of dependence and intuitive interaction is obviously good for both of you, unless it verges into codependency. As long as you maintain your individuality within the relationship, and appreciate but don't demand your partner's understanding of your inner feelings, things run smoothly between you. But if you start to depend on each other too much and to need that emotional support, instead of just appreciating that it's there for you, that's when trouble could start. If you get to the point where you feel secure only when you're together, that's a sign that things have gone too far. Other than that, the support between you is wonderful for both of you.

Forecast: Another hot and humid day with storms this afternoon
We will start out with peaks of sunshine before a few clouds roll in and storms develop during the afternoon.
The focus for those storms will once again be inland, east of Interstate 75, but near sunset as they collapse, lingering energy from the collapsing storms could initiate a few storms closer to the coast right before and after sunset.
High temperatures will rise to 93 degrees with heat index values ranging from 100 to 105 degrees. It's a similar story for Thursday as well. More ⇒

CBE sells $1.014bn T-bills on Monday
The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) on Monday announced selling more than it originally offered of the 364-day US dollar-denominated treasury bills (T-bills).
After offering $1 billion of the one-year T-bills, the CBE sold T-bills worth $1.014 billion at an average yield of 3.797%.
On 6 January, the CBE had sold US dollar-denominated T-bills valued at $854.1 million at an average return of 3.797%.
Due to their high yield, Egypt's debt instruments are attractive to foreign investors and state-run banks, which are the largest holders of the government's debt instruments.
The Ministry of Finance (MoF) previously announced plans to issue EGP 146 billion in debt instruments in February, coinciding with the recent retreat in yields on T-bills and T-bonds.
Earlier in 2019, foreign investors returned to Egypt's government debt issuances following the New Year and Christmas holidays.
The most populous Arab nation plans to cut government debt to 92% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) in fiscal year 2018/2019, along with financing of the public budget by EGP 511.2 billion.
Previously, the North African state revealed plans to issue T-bills worth EGP 409.6 billion and T-bonds valued at EGP 101.6 billion in the current fiscal year.

This week at Duck Sports Authority we are going to take a look at wide receivers and the 2018 recruiting cycle. Tomorrow I looked at a couple of options not listed in our 'Top trio' just to get a feel for some of the other options.
One thing I ran across - about two weeks ago, rumors swirled that Jaylen Waddle, a four-star receiver from Texas had committed. While I still think that actually happened, he backed off of it very quickly - hence the reason it never became public knowledge. Essentially, everything I have heard from just about every insider feels that Waddle will end up at Florida State.
Now, he is a slot sized receiver, but is definitely higher on the coaches board than some others. I have heard that the coaches are really only looking for one slot receiver this cycle after taking several last cycle. Tomorrow in my DSA article, I take a look at a few others, make sure to check it out when you get a chance.
Thirsty Thursday revisited
On Thursday, I mentioned it being Thirsty Thursday. Well, I actually do not drink beer on Thursday's; only on Saturday's. That was a big part of my lifestyle change two years ago. However, I will use Thursday as my day to plan my 'Saturday Beer of Choice'
This week, I made that Saturday beer of choice the Hop Valley Dobledelic IPA. Now, I love Hop Valley, especially Alpha Centauri; but I had not yet tried this beer. While it was not quite the 5* I had the night before the Spring Game (Palatte Wrecker), it was a very, very good Imperial IPA. I have a picture of it below. Love the color, the aroma was awesome, and, well, the taste was exceptional.
For what it is worth, I did have a glass of Johnnie Walker blue with my son on Thursday night!

KARACHI: Imran Khan's vision to follow the ideals established by the Islamic state founded at Medina is highly noble and inspiring. Medina was blessed by the presence of the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) himself along with his many distinguished companions. The state contrary to Pakistan's current situation was not under a loan of 90 billion dollars, did not have a burgeoning population, there were no power shortages or compelling issues of joblessness, urban development, housing, transport, water, sanitation, money-laundering or health and education issues that we face today.
In today's Pakistan most individuals and certainly no two clerics agree with the details of how the country should be governed. Hence, it may be best to limit our vision only to the basic concepts of the State of Medina, ie, justice, equality, tolerance and brotherhood.
Alongside this, we must learn from developed countries as to how to resolve our long-standing issues, for instance, how Turkey has developed sewage treatment plants to treat 100 per cent of its sewage, how developed Muslim countries too take both the Islamic models of governance and development and progress hand-in-hand. These models exist in real life, can be seen, studied, modified and adapted to the needs and conditions of Pakistan.

I love the library! There, I said it. It is friggin awesome! I have been wanting to learn crochet (I learned as a kid but it doesn't really count) and The Happy Hooker has been mentioned everywhere. When I flipped through the patterns there was just too much I would never make. A cowboy hat? A skirt? My friend mentions the library and in two days I have it! I need to read up on RAW processing of photographs in Adobe CS, checked the library and they had it. Then I got curious about this book that was mentioned on Oprah when she was doing the Debt Diet series. That has got to be the most beneficial thing she has ever done on that show, in my opinion. The book is called, Not Buying It: My Year Without Shopping. Now after seeing the review on BN I'm not so sure I'll like it. I think my original search was for Amazon. I guess I'm mostly curious how someone can make a major change like that and what goes through their mind. Just like when I watch fashion makeover shows where the person says, "I only spend $40 a year on clothes." How is that possible?! So yup, I'm interested.
Hmm, what else. Oh! I want to bake cookies this year so I tried to remember any sites I went to that had some delicious cookies on them. I searched and found a book called Big Fat Cookies by Elinor Klivans. I've heard nothing but good things and I'll be sure to say if they were a success or not. I think I'll make the double baked chocolate chip cookies first.
I just remembered times when a book had to be very old until it was in the library and that's just not the case anymore.
This is going to be a crafty Christmas.

One of my right wing conservative friends, who is a Charles Krauthammer admirer, sent me an article depicting Charles's view and opinion of Mr. Obama. The man absolutely hated Obama, why it is too late to ask as Krauthammer recently passed but I am sure the answer to that question is known by some. Nonetheless, Krauthammer, whose intellect was considered to be quite keen, probably knew, as an intellectual, that Obama ascended to the throne over Hillary, as did Trump, due to very similar circumstances. Both faced weak candidates allied and tied to the past. Hillary was weak then, nothing made her better 8 years later but that is how big favors are rewarded in our system of government. So, a black man overcame John McCain and Sarah Palin. Wow. One day, Trump overcame Hillary, again.
So while there is that, there is also no explaining how a man with brilliance oozing from his pores ever lined up with the ultra right wing conservatives whose prism is narrow and reminiscent of those settlers who were forced to leave Europe and ended up here with their prejudices intact. They fervently worshiped and persecuted those who didn't. Charles would have fit in there because he too was bitter, about more than I can list here, and he wrote about his hate of all things liberal. He was a man who overcame tremendous physical challenges but could not advocate for the center. He could not reason his way through climate change and gun violence. He could not accept a black man, much less a Democrat, as our leader.
Being a moderate conservative, having some understanding of science, I can only hope that time and the evolution of our species will overcome our current condition. My novel, Between the Walls of Time, is all about finding a way through this awful dialogue. My hope is that as it becomes promoted and available in every possible way that even non readers will make an exception. The book is about finding our way.
A small footnote. My beautiful wife Susie who is very media savvy just told me that this Enemy Within diatribe was not, repeat, not written by Charles Krauthammer. To that I would say two things: What type of individual would put such an essay forward after a man is no longer among us? You, my readers, can answer that.

My Christmas cards may be late this year. I finally got the annual letter written but still need to take it to be copied. Settled down to address cards yesterday … couldn't find my card list. So today I need to reconstruct that as well as get the letter copied. I bought postage stamps yesterday when I was at the Post Office to mail a package but forgot that most of my cards go overseas and will require additional postage.
Do you get the impression that I'm a bit disorganized this Christmas? You might just be right!
However, I have all the gifts except one wrapped and delivered to my sister's house where we will celebrate. She always bakes a lot of cookies and needed to borrow the tins for them from me. Those have been delivered as well. She asked why I hadn't brought the stockings and the answer was simple: I haven't stuffed them yet. So after I left her house, I went shopping and got the stocking stuffing items. It wouldn't quite seem like Christmas if I didn't show up at her house with something!

Who Has Been Teaching My Kid?
>> Thursday, October 1, 2009
I have had many a moment over the past many months where I stand amazed at the things Toddler has learned. I was impressed when he knew who Chip and Dale were when we went to Disneyworld. I was stunned when he could count to 20 and I had to sit down when he counted from 12 to 1 backwards.
From time to time, though, Toddler comes up with things that make me wonder who is teaching him things behind my back. I mean, we go lots of places, but always together. He isn't in preschool, and we don't have unsupervised play dates. We don't even go to other kid's houses very much. I haven't seen most of this stuff on TV, so I'm at a loss where he is picking it up. I'm beginning to suspect netherwordly intervention, or possibly reincarnation.
A few weeks ago, Toddler surprised me by being able to recognize Barney the purple dinosaur from a book. For reasons of my own personal sanity, I have restricted access to the "Barney channel" in the house. I knew he probably would like it, but I have a low tolerance .... I figured when he pointed at the book and said, "Arney!" that I must have slipped up a few times more than I realized. I only recalled one episode being on when he was in the room, but obviously, I missed some.
There are other incidents, though, that I just cannot explain, try as I might.
For example, a few weeks before football season began, Toddler began walking around the house singing, "Na, na, na, na! Na, na, na, na! Hey, hey, hey ... Goodbye!" Of course, this is very appropriate for a child of a football family, but where in the world did he learn it? (I have to admit, he is very good at it. You can understand completely what he is trying to say ... no problems whatsoever. He even has the right attitude to go with it.) I wonder if I had ESPN Classic on too much in the background ... but even so ....
Starting a few days, ago, too, Toddler has come up with another song. He sings the words to the song, "Lullaby and Goodnight." Now, I've no doubt where he learned the tune. His musical bedtime toy sings that song. But where did he learn the words? He is singing WORDS! The problem is that I don't know the words to the song and I can't figure out what he's saying. I can hear him say, "Lullaby and Goodnight" and after that it is all too difficult to distinguish. I tried to Google the words, and I get about a dozen different versions ... and so far no luck in figuring out which one he is saying. But all of this is guesswork is beside the point, which is this: "HOW DID HE LEARN THE WORDS?" Was Big Bird singing them when I wasn't listening? I can't figure this one out.
This morning I am fairly certain I heard him sing the opening bars to "2001: A Space Oddysey." I'll admit, the song is rather ubiquitous, so I suppose he could have picked it up anywhere, but I think it a bit odd, don't you? Just to be sure I wasn't imagining things, I Googled the song, found a YouTube video and played it. Sure enough, Toddler came running over and started humming along. There is no doubt in my mind now that he knows the song.
This last one is quite a bit more confusing. Toddler will repeat most music he hears -- no surprise there. He has heard an awful lot of music by this point. He has a toy piano with a "jukebox" function that plays a bunch of songs -- some I know, many I don't. Buried among them, for some strange reason, is a quick ditty that sounds a lot like the theme from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It isn't a perfect match, but it is fairly close. Wouldn't you know it, but that is the song he latched onto, singing it for nearly an entire day in the car ride from Florida to Virginia? Why that one? Is in he touch with some cosmic wavelength or something? I'm not sure I really want to know. Even now he will still sing it from time to time ... spooky.
I could go on and on, but the long and short of it is I think Toddler has a hidden source of knowledge and information that I need to find. I may have to look into that Manchurian Candidate theory again.

Do you use facebook to keep up with friends and family? To promote your service? Regardless; I think it is often taken too seriously. Relationships even end over the social media site. People really get mad if you post things on their pages for business or work; but then gripe on other sites about people not having jobs. I just feel it is facebook…I do not care what people most or say; as long as it's not bullying someone else…then who cares? I like to join facebook groups to network with other business owners. Sometimes we even buy products from each other and help support each others home businesses!
I get to keep up with a lot of people from school also. People really can keep facebook simple and fun to know what their friends and family are up to lately but some people think they are the facebook police. I am against spamming; but if someone wants to promote their business on their page…who cares? If someone wants to vent on their page…really…that is on them. I just hardly read many posts. I always scroll down and like to see new promotions, pages I liked that post…things of that nature. I admit; I could use the other features more such as wishing everyone a happy birthday when it notifies you of their birthdays; but I just do not ever have the time.

ZenView – Destiny
By Mary Layton
A friend of mine told me a story about destiny. He didn't know the origin of the story. But I liked it and want to share it with you.
A beggar comes home to his shack and sees a mouse eating his food. He is upset. "Why do you take my food? Why don't you go to the rich people and take their food? Everything I gain I lose again." The mouse says: "It is your destiny to be poor." "Why should it be my destiny? " the beggar cries. The mouse replies "I don't know, go ask Buddha."
So the beggar gets on the road to find Buddha. Night-time falls and the beggar passes by a house that belongs to rich people. He rings the bell and asks if he can rest there one night. The owner of the mansion wants to know what he is doing to be out so late and where it is that he's he going? The beggar tells him that he is going to see Buddha to ask him a question. The man says "Oh, we have a daughter who cannot speak. Can you please ask a question for us?" The beggar says: "For sure I will ask Buddha for you." The next day he continues on his journey. He finally reaches many mountain peaks. He meets a wizard. The beggar says, " I need to get over the mountain peaks." The wizard tells him that he can take him there. As they land on the other side, the wizard asks, "So where are you going?" The beggar says I have a question for Buddha. The wizard says, "Can you ask him a question for me? I have been here a 1000 years and I'm supposed to go to heaven. Ask Buddha what I have to do." The beggar says, "For sure, I'll ask." After that he walks to a lake that he cannot cross. A giant turtle shows up. The turtle asks : "Where are you going?" The beggar says I got to get across the lake. The turtle says, "Get on my back, I'll take you there." When they get to the other side the turtle asks, "Where are you going?" The beggar says that he has a question for Buddha. "Can you ask a question for me?" the turtle says "I have been around for 500 years, by now I should be a dragon. How can I be a dragon?" When the beggar finally meets Buddha, Buddha says, "Anyone can ask only 3 questions." The beggar thinks to himself, I have 4 questions. I will forget about my own question, and so he asks the question about the daughter. Buddha says the girl will speak when she meets her soulmate. When asked about the wizard Buddha says he must get rid of his wizard stick, because it grounds him to the earth and therefore he cannot go to heaven. And when asked about the turtle Buddha says he has to get rid of his shell, then he can fly and be a dragon. The beggar returns to the turtle and tells him what the Buddha said. When the turtle gets rid off his shell there are pearls that were lodged under the shell. They fall into the beggar's hands as the turtle flies into the air. Then he returns to the mountain where the wizard is waiting to hear the answer to his question. As the wizard gets rid off his wizard's stick all his wisdom is imparted onto the beggar. Finally, the beggar returns to the rich people's mansion. The beggar tells the people that the girl will speak when she sees her soulmate. The girl comes out and when she sees the beggar she says: "Was this the boy that was here a week ago?

She is expecting me to make the soup I promised I'd make for when she comes home late from the long pointless meeting and has to chat with the Slovakian lady with the lady Macbeth hair; so I do, all sorts of stuff goes in and is salted and relished but gets too big for the pan so I search for another but give up until a couple of guys opposite say go upstairs there's one there so I get one and that's that
You come home and I take the soup; you eat but before all this I'm teaching a boy who won't behave at all. I've had this one so many times, years and years of it, the out of control kid who just can't be scared, won't back down, has no fear and you know what – I don't blame him one bit. The soup's too salty. Fiona. Quote.

Cold Fusion bonding uses ultrasound waves that are transformed into mechanical energy. The vibration caused by the ultrasound energy is directed only to the area where the 100% keratin tip of the extension meets the client's natural hair. This vibration crystallizes the bond, forming a strong, invisible and long-lasting hold. This occurs without using any heat, which can cause damage to the hair or a weaker and more visible bond.
The earlier hot fusion method, requires a special heated tool known as a hot fusion connector to melt the bond into the hair for it to adhere securely. The tool will not allow for extension to be added near the scalp due to the heat. With cold fusion, however, the bond is attached with a polymer that isn't affected be heat. Cold fusion will allow for addition of extensions in the front of the head. With cold fusion, you can wash and style your hair as you normally would.
Other benefits include adding more volume to thinning hair. Women experiencing alopecia can now have hair extensions bonded directly to their fragile and thinning hair, effectively filling out scalp with beautiful real hair. In addition, topical hair re-growth solutions such as minoxidil can still be applied without concern.
One especially wonderful benefit of this new cold fusion technology due to its ability to bond very close to the scalp, is helping chemotherapy patients feel like themselves again, while looking more normal. Hair extensions can be bonded to the short and newly re-growing hair of people who have undergone chemotherapy, giving them a full head of real hair without the use of uncomfortable and noticeable wigs.
The X10D Cold Fusion Hair Extension System is a revolutionary way to add length and volume to hair using non-surgicalskin grafting. These extensions do not created cross links, are faster to put on and they are more aesthetically pleasing.
With X10D, no weaving or heating is required to secure hair to the scalp. Human cuticle hair from India is grafted into a skin-like plastic. This plastic is then stuck to the scalp with cold fusion glue. It takes on the color of the scalp and the hair is grafted on non-surgically.
X10D cold fusion extensions can be applied quickly, look like they are growing directly from the scalpm and fall like natural hair. Because the hair in X10D extensions is grafted straight from the cuticle, the hair is tangle free, and more resistant to damage. The extensions last about six months, and can be easily removed by dissolving the bond using a solvent.
Cold fusion hair extensions can easily be removed by dissolving the bond using depolymerizing lotion.
Cold fusion hair extension aren't cheap. They can run from $250 to $1,500. However, they do last from about four months to six months.

Mobile era
.......Facebook had 100 million mobile users. This came less than six months after Facebook announced 65 million mobile users.
Those stats are from 2010.
....whereas in 2014:
And of the 1.32 billion people who use Facebook each month, 399 million, roughly a third, only log in with their phones.
Care to predict where it'll go? With 6 billion people on the planet, when will this line begin to tail off?

Live dominoqq betting represents a very good betting system to win money as long as you know how to bet.
Live betting is far more dynamic and exciting than other sports bets and is especially popular among regular bettors of football matches.
You can bet live by the player who will score, by the team that will score before the end of the first part or if there will be a penalty during the course of the match. There are endless possibilities. In this sense, the masterdominoqq bookmakers that most strive to improve their live betting service.
They are, therefore, a type of bets that can make you earn a lot of money, yes, but also that you lose everything in a matter of minutes, so let's see the best tips to take advantage of sports betting live that you can also consult on this web page.
- The first thing you must keep in mind is that it is essential that you have enough knowledge about the domino99 in which you are going to bet and about the teams that are going to face. Do not go to bet, for example, in a game if you do not know if there will be extension or penalties in case of a draw at the end of the match or if you do not completely know the most recent trajectory of the teams.
- The previous advice is good for any type of bet, but if you really want to amortize your bet live, it is essential to see the event in question lives. Try to follow the transmission of the game with the shortest possible delay if you want to be faster than the betting house. Here the seconds count and a lot and the fee for a certain bet can vary depending on the events that occur in the match.
- Many users also consider betting live as a good way to cover a pre-match bet, according to how the match is presented in which you have bet, is not proving to be entirely accurate. Thus, you would only have to make an opposite bet at the most appropriate time to compensate for the possible losses of our first bet.
One last advice, do not get too carried away by the excitement and adrenaline of the moment and always bet with your head to make the most of live betting.

Yes you are correct. James Corden sucks.
I told you James Corden sucks last year. 6 months after the gas people are starting to realise. I actually watched a few minutes of Horne and Corden the other night. It was honestly the worst thing I've ever seen and I've seen racism. Horne and Corden is worse than racism.
This great article on The Guardian website about how shitty James Corden is made me smile. It didn't go far enough for my liking but I'm glad people are figuring it out. Gavin and Stacey was shit too, the only reason people gave it time was because it had powerful comedy people behind it.

When King Charles Spaniel Fern (pictured) and her sisters, Holly the Pointer and Lily the Labrador, go on their holidays to Creusa Kennels they know they are in for a good time. Lots of cuddles, play, exercise and pampering and a chance to meet new mates.
The trio are regular visitors to Creusa where our dedicated team of staff do everything we can to make sure guests get as near to a home-from-home experience as possible.
Playtime is the first activity at 8am when Fern, Holly and Lily enjoy a romp in a large grass run and have lots of fun with Creusa staff. Owner William Bruce said: "Some clients treat their pet's stay as an opportunity to socialise their dog. So we are happy to introduce dogs to new friends and, if they get on, they can go in the run together."
After morning playtime Fern and the gang tuck into breakfast and, worn out from their play, have a morning nap while staff make sure their kennels are spic and span. Kennel assistant Danni said: "We do get distracted and often spend time having a cuddle with our lovely guests."
Afternoon playtime starts at 2pm and after that Fern was treated to a wash and blow dry in Creusa's own beauty salon. Back with her mates looking beautiful and smelling of watermelon shampoo it's 5pm and teatime.
Bedtime is between 8 and 9pm when William tucks his guests in, hands out treats and spends time with those who are feeling a little lonely. The lucky ones in the executive accommodation even have their own TV to watch. But it was a tiring day for Fern and she was fast asleep cuddled up to her sisters.
This is a typical day in the life for your dog when they stay at Creusa. Find out more about our care for dogs or contact us to enquire about a booking.

Of course, there is a difference and quite a significant one. We bet you are primarily interested in the difference of effects caused by hash and weed resulted by the difference in their psychoactive properties. Anyway, we believe the bigger picture and more broad knowledge will let you make a reasonable weed hash choice. So, let us take a closer look and find out what exactly sets apart one from another.
Both hash and weed are the derivations of cannabis, which is cultivated all around the globe. Still, weed (marijuana) is widely grown in America and Europe, while hash (hashish) takes its roots from the Middle East and Africa.
Strength and effect
When it comes to strength and intensity of the effect, the absolute winner is hashish. Still, hash and weed bring the same effect—the state of euphoria, relaxation, stress-relieving mode.
Although both hash and weed have an active ingredient tetrahydrocannabinol, its concentration in marijuana is considerably lower comparing to hashish. Therefore, a smaller amount of hashish is needed to get high.
The effect of hash is both stronger and longer-lasting due to certain chemical characteristics.
Healing properties
Whatever way of ingestion you prefer (vaporizing, eating, smoking, etc.), the weed hash tandem reportedly shows extraordinary benefits for health. Its healing effects range from reducing expressions of psychological and neural symptoms to contributing to shrinking cancer tumors without poisoning the body like chemotherapy does.
Legality in the United States
It stands to reason that hash is completely illegal in the USA due to its strong psychoactive properties, whilst medical marijuana is allowed by the state law in the majority of American states. Colorado and Washington are the only jurisdictions where weed is legal for recreational and medical use, with some restrictions, of course.
These are the main differences between weed and hash, which are barely known and taken into consideration by the common users in the U.S.

The Herschel 400 is a list of 400 galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters, picked from over 2,500 deep-sky objects discovered and catalogued by the great eighteenth-century astronomer Sir William Herschel and his sister Caroline. It comprises 231 galaxies, 107 open clusters, 33 globular clusters, 20 planetary nebulae, 2 halves of a single planetary nebula, and 7 bright nebulae. In this guide Steve O'Meara takes the observer through the list, season by season, month by month, night by night, object by object. He works through the objects in a carefully planned and methodical way, taking in some of the most dramatic non-Messier galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters in the night sky. Ideal for astronomers who have tackled the Messier objects, this richly illustrated guide will help the amateur astronomer hone their observing skills.Read more
- Focuses on helping you plan and organize your H400 observing project, with an emphasis on finding the objects with minimal fuss through O'Meara's clear directions and detailed finder charts
- For each of the H400 objects, the author provides the coordinate data, a scaled image, general object description and step-by-step directions
- Includes a handy checklist in the appendix; ideal for use as an observing log for submission to the Astronomical League (or your local observing club)
Reviews & endorsements
"O'Meara takes a list of admittedly faint objects and injects new life into them. Right or wrong, many amateur astronomers won't consider you a top-level observer until you've completed the Herschel 400. Don't do it for them, however. Pick up this book, set up your telescope, and do it for yourself. It's a lot of fun."
Michael Bakich, Astronomy OnlineSee more reviews
'O'Meara is well known for his columns in both Sky & Telescope and Astronomy magazines as well as his previous three books on deep-sky observing. The Herschel guide is a bit different from his previous ones as, due to the larger number of objects presented, there are only short descriptions of each one along with an image from the DSS. The book starts with a short introduction to deep-sky observing and then the meat of the book is divided into … sections that cover when to observe objects by season. … it is a far better guide to the Herschel objects that the one available from the AL. It is well presented … to be recommended to observers looking for an organized project with medium-sized telescopes after completing the Messier list.' The Observatory
"The layout is very well thought out. ... The book is very well indexed to ensure that there is no difficulty in locating objects. ... [The author] works through the objects in a carefully planned and methodical way, ensuring that a minimum of telescope time is employed both in locating objects and in moving from one object to the next. The author explains clearly how to locate each object and gives a short description. ... I would recommend this book to experienced observers who wish to progress beyond the Messier and the Caldwell objects." - Alex Crowther, Astronomy & Space
"...a very good book, whose main strength is its instructions for locating objects. Even if you are not interested in seeing all the Herschel 400 objects, I recommend it as a good mid-range guide to the deep sky." --Journal of the British Astrological Association

Our Joy Journey - Spreading Joy One Day at a Time/
Happy November everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful October, and I hope the Fall weather is bringing warmth and joy to your heart!
If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you know that I did a 31-day challenge to celebrate my birthday last month! The challenge was to find something to celebrate each day of the month, and to fully embrace it and be thankful for it. I am usually not quick to do any sort of 31-day challenge or to overpost about my birthday, but this year was different.
You see, last year I cried on my birthday. Like the whole day. I feel so sorry for Trice now because he had to listen to me cry and whine all day, but he was so gracious! (That man is GOLD you guys!!) Unfortunately this was not just a one time thing. This was a frequent thing. I would ride the roller coaster of being happy and then slam into a pit of depression, over and over again. A couple of months ago, I was exhausted and lying on my couch totally depressed, when I totally had a holy moment with the Lord. With my eyes closed, I could visualize Him holding out His hand and whispering into my ear, "Sarah, here is my hand. Take it and GET UP. I will lead the way. I will help you when it's tough. Just grab hold of my hand." That day I chose not to ignore God's beckoning but rather to grab hold of His hand, and He delivered me from that place of darkness. Depression was a stronghold in my life for decades, but God in His goodness set me free.
How can I not celebrate this amazing fact? How can I not shout from the rooftops about God's goodness? How can I not share His love with everyone I meet? The Lord is good, and He has brought me out of my miry pit of despair and has called me to go on a joy journey with Him. We call it a joy journey because choosing joy is not just an overnight decision, it is a learned practice and a daily habit that must be formed with the help of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Thus last month, for part of my joy journey, I decided to make up for years of being depressed on my birthday, and I committed to celebrating a different part of life each day. And although it felt uncomfortable at first to call attention to my birthday every day, I ended up being so blessed by this challenge! And really, I pray that through those daily celebrations, at least ONE person was encouraged.
This month, I am locking arms with my sister Katherine. Katherine has her own joy journey that she has been on for the last several years, and it has been really beautiful to see how our journeys have collided over the past few months! We both believe that God is bringing healing and joy to us at the same time for a reason, and we want to share our story with anyone we can. Maybe I'll talk her into writing a little post of her own on here to explain a little more of our joy journey to you ;)
Anyhow, Katherine had the brilliant idea to do 30 days of Random Acts of Kindness… But we are choosing to call them Random Acts of Joy. You see, when you are delivered from depression and learn to celebrate life, the next thing you want to do is to get everyone else celebrating life too! So what if over the next 30 days we did one nice "Act of Joy" for someone new each day? What if we walked together this month on our joy journeys to help spread joy to others around us one day at a time? What if God decides to use US to turn someone's day, or life, around?!
We are excited about this challenge, and we are thankful that God is guiding us on our joy journeys. If you want to follow along on our joy journey, we will be posting to Instagram each day of the month of November. You can follow me at @sarah_head and Katherine at @lovebugddd. I will also try to do a weekly summary here on the blog with the actions we did for the week!
If you decide you want to join in on our daily Acts of Joy, we want to know! Email or message me, and if you are on social media, use the hashtag #ourjoyjourney. We would LOVE to see what ideas you have as well!!
Our hope is that maybe, just maybe, one other person will be encouraged and delivered from depression and choose to walk hand in hand with God on their own joy journey. Life is a celebration, so let's all celebrate it and choose joy together!

About the Designer
Jewelry has always been the first thing I look at when I am in stores, craft shows or museum shops. Several years ago I treated a friend to a wire and bead crochet class for her birthday. I was interested in learning so I signed up to take the class with her and became enthralled with making necklaces!
I found that the process of designing necklaces is very similar to composing a painting. Both involve an understanding of the Elements of Art such as shape, color, texture and the Principles of Design such as movement, balance rhythm, contrast and unity. I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Connecticut and went on to teach art in private and public schools for over twenty years.
Designing jewelry has given me a much needed "life lift". I feel excited when I find new beads and I enjoy combining them to explore the endless possibilities.

The Sackler family—the ultra-wealthy family that made billions from illegally marketed opioids and the group largely blamed for sparking and fueling the devastating, $504 billion-per-year epidemic of opioid addiction—has been making even more money off the country's drug crisis than previously thought, according to a series of reports by the Financial Times.
The Sacklers own the infamous drug company Purdue Pharma, which in 2007 pleaded guilty to federal criminal charges for misleading doctors, regulators, and patients about the addictiveness of its branded oxycodone opioid drug, OxyContin. Yet the guilty plea seemed to do little to reform the company's ethics or curb sales, according to a new report in the FT. Purdue continued to recklessly push the drugs on doctors, insiders told the outlet, and in 2010, it was raking in more than $3 billion in OxyContin sales.
In 2016, Forbes estimated the Sackler family's collective wealth at $13 billion.
But according to a second FT report, the Sacklers didn't just carry on with "business as usual" at Purdue—the family quietly opened a second drug company called Rhodes Pharma just four months after the guilty plea. And since then, the Rhode Island-based pill maker has become one of the largest producers of generic opioids in the US.
In 2016, Rhodes and Purdue together supplied 14.4 million opioid prescriptions. This makes them the seventh-largest opioid maker by market share, accounting for six percent of the US opioid marked, according to documents viewed by the FT.
The figure is striking because Purdue has long denied a prime role in the opioid epidemic by noting that OxyContin sales only account for a small percentage of opioid prescriptions in the US—just 1.7 percent in 2016. But the combined market share of Purdue and Rhodes significantly weakens that argument.Original Source

Perfect wine tote
by Lisa
This tote is the handiest thing to have when you are going to someone else's house and don't have enough hands to carry the wine. I love it.
Husband's Favorite 2 Bottle Carrier
by Seattle -
This is my husband's favorite 2 bottle carrier - he left the last one somewhere so this is a replacement. The only thing he would change is to make the handle longer, but that is not enough of a detractor to have him switch to a different carrier for this replacement.
Very Good Wine Bag-Great Gift to a Wine Lover
by Fili Perez
Have been using them for many years, purchased a lot of them as gifts to wine lovers. Good thermal, however, do not overload. It is for two 750ml or less bottles. Do not use for magnums, nor try to fit three bottles, since it is not designed for such purposes. Still, the best in its kind and price range.
Better Wine Bag
by Jeff
Owned at least one for years. Probably the best wine bag going for its pricing. Reasonably stylish, durable, good thermal properties and not that easy to tip over with loaded contents.
Love Mine; Bought Another as a gift
by Linda
Actually, I have had this bag and used it for several years. I had purchased it in a local wine shop that had gone out of business. I was very excited to come across it in the IWA catalog because I wanted to get one for a friend as a gift. Cannot wait to give it to her! This is absolutely great for transporting wine to a friend's home for dinner, on a picnic, etc. Love it!


text: Rozay turns his delusions of criminal grandeur into the year's catchiest hardcore rap record, his most unstoppable song since "Hustlin'." A year ago Ross was ridiculed for pretending to be something he's not, but now he's managed to flip it into a bizarre mission statement of sorts. Over Lex Luger's highly-effective Drumma Boy impression, Ross is all bluster and balls, coked up and talking shit. Minus Styles P's superfluous verse (sorry, Ghost), this might be the perfect street record. Every line is a statement worth putting on a posterboard, even Ross's more ironic boasts ("Talkin' plenty capers, nothin's been authenticated!"). No matter who you think you are, you can't not stand on a couch when this one comes on.

In the last week of showing at the Adequan Global Dressage Festival, the dressage competition was as strong as ever! Competitors from across the United States and around the world battled it out on the centerline for top scores in all levels of competition. Neue Schule, the Official Bit of the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), was on hand to reward riders who demonstrated excellent hand aids during the competition. Neue Schule chose American rider Jane Cleveland to win the Neue Schule Best Hands Award for her consistent and supple contact during the FEI Prix St. George class.
Neue Schule uses its longtime sponsorship of the Adequan Global Dressage Festival to recognize riders who showcase soft and consistent contact with their horses. The innovative bit company prides itself on making bits that provide effective communication while keeping the horse's wellbeing a top priority.
Cleveland shares Neue Schule's commitment to soft communication. "If you have rigidity in your hands or arms, the horses respond to that," remarked Cleveland. "If you want soft and relaxed movement you have to have soft and relaxed contact."
Cleveland, who uses Neue Schule bits for her own horses, won the Best Hands Award while showing her seven-year-old Monique, whom she purchased as a foal and trained to the FEI Prix St. George level personally. The Prix St. George class during the last week of the 2016 Adequan Global Dressage Festival was large and very competitive, and the pair took home second place honors.
"Today was really fun. Monique has a lot of energy and she loves to show, so she is really fun to ride," said Cleveland after her ride. The two, who are working on qualifying for several championships throughout the 2016 show year, seemed to be on the same page while completing their test. Their clear communication appeared effortless. "Neue Schule bits help give you more refined aids and they are great for young horses," said Cleveland. Neue Schule is thrilled to see riders using these bits with such successful results. The international brand, distributed in North America by Metlar Premium Performance Saddlery, prides itself on helping horses and riders achieve their goals while maintaining comfort and safety.
As winner of the Neue Schule Best Hands Award, Cleveland received a Kathy Connelly Performance Products Crown Pad and Chin Pad, as well as a black and yellow rider sash ribbon that she proudly sported with her red and white second place ribbon at the end of her class. Neue Schule has enjoyed sponsoring the Adequan Global Dressage Festival this winter and wishes all riders safe travels as they head to their next competitions.
Competitors who are interested in learning more about Neue Schule bits can visit www.BitByBitUSA.com or call 631-252-5574. Neue Schule bits are available at many tack stores across the country. Neue Schule also presents the Best Hands Award at many top horse shows, so keep an eye out for a Neue Schule representative at your next horse show and follow the company on Facebook and Instagram.

Third party support is arriving on the Switch, and Bethesda is one of the companies leading the charge. Many Nintendo fans were shocked yesterday when it was announced that the new DOOM would make its way to the console, and about everyone was floored when it was followed up with the news that Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus would be coming as well!
Check out the trailers for both and continue on below:
Unfortunately, those wanting to play Wolfenstein II on Switch will have to wait until 2018 as the game will not be ready for launch next month. Doom, on the other hand, is expected to be out this holiday season.
Bethesda also announced that their Skyrim port would land on the console November 17th and showcased more footage of the exclusive Zelda armor that will be in the game (ignore the date as that's for Japan):
Things are looking pretty sweet on the Nintendo Switch as of late! Is it enough to pull you in?

Celebration // SB 3
The main reason we even went to Santa Barbara was to celebrate Julie's birthday. Plus, there's always an excuse to get together with family. To properly start the festivities, we planned on a day of wine tasting.
BEING 21 is FUN.
Wine is my favorite form of alcohol and I was pretty excited. Our day consisted of traveling to three different wineries and trying some of their signature wines! Don't worry, we had someone driving us around the whole time, safety first.
The drive took us through the rolling hills of Santa Barbara, away from the ocean to my chagrin, but to the vineyards! Lemme tell ya, it's dry out here. Look at all of that yellow.
First stop on the tour was at the Firestone Vineyard. Apparently they had a power outage that morning, so we couldn't do the tour, but we got to sip our wine outside in the sunshine.
The wine was excellent, however the main topic of our conversation was about the Firestone family and how Andrew was one of the first Bachelors (I'm talking the ABC tv show). Yes, I admit, I've been sucked into avidly watching the Bachelor, Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise. It's a guilty pleasure...I'm not proud of it.
Next up, was a little drive to the town of Los Olivos, which is seems to revolve around wine, my kind of town. This location had a quaint little yellow house looking out to the rows of grapes. We popped inside to drink our wine and then had a lovely lunch out on the patio.
Group photo! More like Chris and the girls.
The last stop was in the downtown area at a place called Saarloos and Sons. At this point, we were starting to feel the wine a bit.
What really put us over were the cupcakes at this location. To properly end our day, we had six Enjoy Cupcakes to go along with six wines. And these were babycakes, and we all had the audacity to tackle them. Let's just say that we quickly lost after the first two. Gina and I ended up splitting cupcakes which was even too much.
The was here was great! The cupcakes were INCREDIBLE. I think my favorite was the strawberry peach Chardonnay (top left corner) or the s'mores truffle (bottom right corner). In order to feel human again, we walked off all of the wine, food, and cupcakes as we strolled the downtown.
In total, we sampled seventeen, YES, seventeen different wines and six cupcakes. We were all a bit woozy and went back to the house to rest for a bit before dinner.
To make it a proper birthday dinner, we dined at The Stonehouse which is a lovely restaurant apart of the San Ysidro Ranch.
San Ysidro was adorable with flowers growing everywhere and the stone houses spotting the land. Not to mention, there were ocean views in the distance.
Yep, you guessed it, lots and lots of LANY flowers. Honestly, it was the overarching theme of the trip.
Dinner commenced with drinks to start off and a toast to the birthday girl! I opted for the blood orange margarita. I'm sucker for margaritas. To go along with the drinks, Chris ordered Duck and Avocado Spring Rolls for the table which were basically game-changers and the best way to start a meal.
With the spring rolls and a round of bread, we were already starting to feel full when our entrees made their appearance. Gina and I decided to order different items off the menu so we could maximize our food tasting.
Gina ordered the Halibut accompanied by gnocchi and I went for the Fettuccine with ham and asparagus. Delicious! We scarfed everything down.
Now with really full bellies, we debated as a table whether or not to order dessert. The verdict was YES. Plus, like birthday celebration. We all split the cheesecake and the signature chocolate soufflé, which, once again, we polished right off.
Overall, it was a solid day full of eating and drinking and being merry. Happy Birthday Julie!

Arts & Theater
Theater review: 'Big River' stays true to Twain's great story
The greatness of Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" doesn't waver. Though the 1884 novel originated in a different time, the contemporary resonance of the tale of a vagabond white boy accompanying a black runaway slave to freedom has unavoidable heft in the current social landscape. The canny, heart-tugging musical adaptation "Big River" now at Music Circus effectively transfers Twain's humor, drama and unaffected human observation to the stage with a deep-rooted, magnificently sung production.
The original Broadway production opened April 25, 1985, and ran for more than two years, winning seven Tony Awards in 1985, including best musical, best book of musical and best musical score.
Narrated by Ben Fankhauser's spirited Huck, director Michael Heitzman's buoyant production embraces both the sentimentality and grit of William Hauptman's book. Roger Miller's lively, varied score embracing country and gospel elements anchors the story with a moving, soulful core. Fankhauser and production stay remarkably true to Twain's thorny portrait of the conflicted Huck, who finds himself caught up in the murky area of "doing right."
Huck's personal morality and instincts push him into helping his friend Jim escape to freedom, but the idea that this is illegal and "wrong" weighs on him with a palpable dread. Yet the overwhelming, life-affirming presence of Phillip Boykin's Jim crushes any justification of human bondage. Boykin, so affecting at Music Circus as Joe in 2013's "Show Boat" and a Tony Award nominee for his work in "Porgy and Bess," again showcases his world-class bass baritone voice throughout the production.
William Parry and Jeff Skowron have nifty turns as con men whom Huck and Jim meet on the river. Lizzie Klemperer makes an engaging Music Circus debut as Mary Jane Wilkes, a strong-willed young woman who provokes powerful reactions in Huck.
Nearly bringing down the house was vocal soloist Jennifer Leigh Warren, from the original Broadway cast, who soars on "How Blest We Are," written for her by Roger Miller.
The show's rough racial hopefulness rooted in material more than 100 years old felt simultaneously uplifting and frustrating despite a production and performances that were uniformly compelling.

BPM Academic Initiative
Tools for Business Process Management
Research Platform for Process Model Collections
PromniCAT is a research platform for analyzing process model collections. It allows importing various business process repositories into one generic database. The idea behind this platform is to facilitate researchers accessing process model collections.
Instead of spending time and effort implementing process collection parsers, researchers shall focus on their actual research questions. This is realized by the platform's import functionality for a variety of process model collections, its utility units that provide access and filtering mechanisms for process models and their specific elements, and the transformation of process models into a generic representation that covers common concepts of process modeling languages.
Researchers use the platform and build their analysis modules on top of it. Hence they run their analysis on several collections while just once implementing their analysis module. The platform consists of three main modules; import, filter management, and indexing. The platform's architecture is depicted in above figure.
The filter management module provides filter mechanisms to access, filter, iterate over, and extract information from process model collections, or specific process models elements like activities and their labels. The index management allows the researchers to store and retrieve their analysis results for later research.
More information ca be found at the project's
Google Code Repository
Business Process Modeler and Collaboration Platform
We provide a comprehensive modeling platform that includes a model editor and repository that together found the platform for our academic initiative allowing you to share lecture material and conduct exercises in a managed environment without any installation effort.
A modern web browser is sufficient for using the process editor, for example
Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome
are available for most operating systems. Using Internet Explorer will, however, limit the number of functions available.
Your or your students' models are not visible to anybody else by default, but one can share their models with others if they grant access rights accordingly. Students can use this feature to hand in exercise works to supervisors, simply by allowing them to access the model.

text: bawfuls 2 Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) Working on my '77 280Z, and had planned to replace all the old bulbs with LEDs from superbrightleds.com. Last week I replaced the brake lights, reverse lights, and front side indicators (whatever those ones on the side are called) with LEDs and everything worked great, new ones were clearly brighter, etc. Although right around that time the headlights stopped coming on, which I didn't pay attention to at the time (but in hindsight this should have been a warning maybe?) Today I went to start on the turn signals. I replaced the front driver side bulb with an LED and it came on just fine, again noticeably brighter than the old one on the other side, great! (The dash is out of the car right now so I can't test turn signal flashing yet, I have the load resistors but haven't spliced them in yet). Then I replaced the passenger side one, and no lights would turn on. So I put the original incandescent bulb back in the passenger side, still no lights come on. Then I put all the original incandescent bulbs back in, removing all LEDs from the car. Still no lights come on. I did nothing else on the car between the install of the first and second front signal LEDs, it was maybe 10 minutes. Multimeter still gives 12.28 volts across the battery, and the head unit/speakers work so it's not a complete electrical failure but something to do with the lights. I checked ground connections (in particular the two at the front of the car right next to the horns, which I tried wiring directly to the battery negative via some alligator clips) but they are all fine as far as I can tell. I don't know what steps to take next. I have the full wiring diagram for the vehicle (http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/wiringdiagrams/F77ZCAR-WIRING1.pdf) but I don't know where to go now, any ideas?
