El yahvismo era la religión de los antiguos reinos de Judá e Israel, centrada alrededor de la deidad israelita Yahweh. Yahweh era uno de los muchos dioses y diosas de las tierra de Canaán, la parte sur de la cual más tarde se llamaría Tierra de Israel. El yahvismo existió en paralelo al politeísmo cananeo y, a su vez, fue la etapa primitiva y monolatrística predecesora del judaísmo moderno, en su evolución hacia una religión monoteísta.

A pesar de que tanto el judaísmo moderno y el yahvismo veneran a Yahweh, existen claras distinciones entre los dos sistemas de creencias. A diferencia de las religiones que descenderían de él, el yahvismo se caracterizó por el henoteísmo/monolatrismo, que reconocía a Yahweh como el dios nacional de Israel, pero no negaba explícitamente la existencia de otros dioses de la antigua religión semítica, como Baal, Asera y Astarté, aunque esto no siempre permitió su adoración individual en conjunto con Yahweh.

La transición exacta entre lo que ahora se considera el yahvismo monolatrista y el judaísmo monoteísta es algo confusa, sin embargo es evidente que el evento comenzó con enmiendas religiosas radicales (como los testimonios de Elías y las reformas de Ezequías y Josías) y se había completado a finales del cautiverio babilónico, donde el reconocimiento de Yahveh como único dios del universo finalmente había calado en el pueblo judío.

Historia
El centro de la religión del antiguo Israel durante la mayor parte del período monárquico fue la adoración de un dios llamado Yahweh, y por esta razón, la religión de Israel a menudo se conoce como yahvismo. El nombre «Israel» se basa en El, la cabeza del panteón cananeo, lo que sugiere que El, en lugar de Yahweh, era el dios principal original de Israel. Si bien algunos eruditos creen que la adoración de Yahweh es anterior a la formación de los reinos y funcionó como un factor unificador que ayudó a su surgimiento, ninguno de los patriarcas del Antiguo Testamento, las tribus de Israel, los Jueces o los primeros monarcas tenían un nombre yahvista.

La opinión predominante entre los eruditos es que los israelitas eran nativos de Canaán y no se podían distinguir de los cananeos en idioma y religión. No está claro cómo, dónde o por qué apareció Yahweh; incluso su nombre es un punto de confusión. La fecha exacta de este hecho también es ambigua: el término «Israel» aparece por primera vez en los registros históricos en el siglo XIII a. C. con la estela de Merenptah, y la adoración de Yahweh se atestigua circunstancialmente desde el siglo XII a. C. No hay testimonio ni registro ni siquiera del nombre de Yahweh, y mucho menos de su origen o carácter, hasta más de quinientos años después, con la estela de Mesa (siglo IX a. C.).

La hipótesis cenita postula que, citando varios pasajes bíblicos, Yahweh pudo haber sido una deidad madianita o cenea que, de una manera análoga a la interacción de Moisés y Jetró, fue presentada a los israelitas y llevada al norte a las tierras que habitaban. Sea como fuere, los israelitas emergieron como una comunidad «independiente» de los cananeos cuando a Yahweh se le dio adoración por encima de todos los dioses. Sin embargo, esto no excluyó la veneración de otras deidades, ya que se muestra claramente que se adoraba a Yahweh junto a otros dioses y en conjunción con ellos. Este tema está presente tanto dentro como fuera de los relatos bíblicos de la época, pero con notables diferencias. Si bien la Biblia registra la adoración de Yahweh junto con otras deidades, no solo describe esto como una completa herejía (no considerada así en ese momento según la mayoría de los eruditos), sino que también descuida reflejar esta tradición en épocas anteriores a los escenarios descritos.

Los relatos bíblicos de las etapas formativas del judaísmo registra que la adoración a Yahweh se originó bajo la égida de Abraham, Moisés, etc., dejando así de lado los relatos históricos, limitando los únicos registros de la adoración no monoteísta de Yahweh únicamente a la era de los profetas como Elías, cuando el yahvismo (es decir, el no-judaísmo) estaba en declive. En todo caso, a Yahweh se le adoró junto a otras deidades cananeas durante varios siglos, aunque ninguna fue verdaderamente elevada a su posición. En la Edad del Hierro, Yahweh era el dios nacional de los reinos israelitas. En el período tribal temprano, cada tribu habría tenido su propia deidad tutelar; sin embargo, cuando surgió la monarquía, el Estado promovió a Yahweh como el dios nacional de Israel, supremo sobre los demás dioses.

El Israel pre-exilio, como sus vecinos, era politeísta, y el monoteísmo israelita fue el resultado de circunstancias históricas únicas. Durante una era de sincretismo religioso, se aceptó entre el pueblo israelita considerar al dios cananeo El como el mismo Yahweh. Podría decirse que este fue el principio del fin del yahvismo y los mismos comienzos del judaísmo. De hecho, a medida que esta idea se hizo prevalente en la religión del pueblo judío, pronto se pensó que El había sido siempre la misma deidad que Yahweh, como lo demuestra , que dice:

Después del siglo IX a. C., las tribus y jefaturas de la Edad del Hierro I (1200-930 a. C.) fueron reemplazadas por estados nacionales étnicos. En cada reino, el rey también era el jefe de la religión nacional y, por lo tanto, el virrey en la tierra del dios nacional. En Jerusalén, esto se reflejaba cada año cuando el rey presidía una ceremonia en la que Yahweh estaba entronizado en el Templo Sagrado. La Biblia hebrea da la impresión de que el Templo de Jerusalén siempre estuvo destinado a ser el templo central (o incluso único) de Yahweh, pero este no fue el caso. El primer lugar de culto israelita conocido es un altar al aire libre del siglo XII a. C. en las colinas de Samaria, con un toro de bronce que recuerda al «El-Toro» cananeo (El en forma de toro), y los restos arqueológicos de otros templos se han encontrado en Dan, en la frontera norte de Israel; en Arad (en el Néguev) y Beersheba, ambos en el territorio de Judá. Silo, Bethel, Guilgal, Mizpa, Ramá y Dan también fueron lugares importantes para festivales, sacrificios, votos, rituales privados y la adjudicación de disputas legales.

El declive del yahvismo y el surgimiento del judaísmo se acercaron aún más con los profetas señalando una era de nuevos ideales y prácticas. Las reformas hechas por los reyes hebreos Ezequías y Josías trabajaron para abolir la adoración de cualquier dios que no fuera Yahweh, pero sus reformas fueron a menudo revertidas por sus sucesores que favorecieron el yahwismo monolatrístico que era común.

La adoración solo a Yahweh comenzó con Elías en el siglo IX a. C., y como muy tarde con Oseas en el siglo VIII a. C.; incluso entonces siguió siendo la preocupación de un pequeño partido antes de ganar predominio en el Exilio y en el período post-exílico temprano. Los primeros partidarios de esta facción son ampliamente considerados como monolatras en lugar de verdaderos monoteístas, ya que en lugar de creer que Yahweh era el único dios existente, creían que él era el único dios que el pueblo de Israel debía adorar; sin embargo, esto era una notable desviación de las creencias tradicionales de los israelitas. Fue durante la crisis nacional del Exilio que los seguidores de Yahweh dieron un paso adelante y finalmente negaron rotundamente que existieran otros dioses además de Yahweh, marcando así la transición del monolatrismo al verdadero monoteísmo, y del yahvismo al judaísmo. Algunos estudiosos fechan el inicio del monoteísmo generalizado en el siglo VIII a. C. y lo ven como una respuesta a la agresión neoasiria.

Creencias y prácticas

El yahvismo se distingue del judaísmo más claramente por sus características panteónicas. Mientras que en el judaísmo (y, de hecho, en todas las religiones abrahámicas modernas) YHWH es el único Dios del universo; en el yahvismo, YHWH (como la deidad nacional) es el único Dios que debe ser adorado por el pueblo israelita. El yahvismo se caracteriza por la falta de una negación definitiva y explícita de la existencia de otras deidades junto a YHWH, un precepto que aún se conserva en ciertas áreas de la Biblia hebrea. Los israelitas generalmente entendían la existencia de otros dioses junto a YHWH y, a menudo, llegaban a adorar a varias deidades junto con él.

La deidad más comúnmente adorada junto a YHWH era Asera, venerada como consorte o madre de YHWH. En el panteón cananeo, Asera era la consorte de El. Si bien otros dioses (como Baal) solían ser adorados junto a YHWH, esta no siempre fue una práctica constante ya que Baal, por ejemplo, vio una verdadera prominencia solo en el tiempo de Elías y nunca más a partir de entonces. Varios pasajes bíblicos indican que se guardaban estatuas de Asera en sus templos en Jerusalén, Betel y Samaria. Fuera de Israel, YHWH fue considerado también como consorte de la diosa egipcia Anat; en los registros del siglo V a. C. de la colonia judía en Elefantina (Egipto) describen a una diosa «Anat-Yahu» era adorada en el templo del asentamiento dedicado a YHWH. Una diosa llamada «Reina del Cielo», probablemente una fusión de Astarté y la diosa mesopotámica Ishtar, posiblemente un título de Asera, también fue adorada.

Aunque se entendía que YHWH ocupaba un panteón que incluía muchas otras deidades, su estatus como dios nacional todavía lo consagraba con una supremacía suprema, cualquier intento de «reemplazar» o usurpar el lugar de YHWH en la fe israelita se consideraba antitético. Por ejemplo, la adoración de Baal y YHWH coexistieron en el período temprano de la historia de Israel, pero se consideraron irreconciliables después del siglo IX a. C., luego de los esfuerzos del rey Acab y su reina Jezabel para elevar a Baal al estado de dios nacional, aunque el culto a Baal continuó durante algún tiempo.

La adoración a YHWH era famosa por ser anicónica, lo que significa que el dios no estaba representado por una estatua u otra imagen. Esto no quiere decir que no estuviera representado de alguna forma simbólica, y el culto israelita temprano probablemente se centró en piedras erguidas, pero según los textos bíblicos, el templo en Jerusalén presentaba el trono de YHWH en forma de dos querubines, sus alas internas formando el asiento, con una caja (el Arca de la Alianza) como escabel, mientras que el trono mismo estaba vacío. No se ha presentado una explicación satisfactoria del aniconismo israelita, y varios eruditos recientes han argumentado que YHWH estuvo representado antes de las reformas de Ezequías y Josías al final del período monárquico: para citar un estudio reciente, «el aniconismo temprano, de facto o de otra manera, es puramente una proyección de la imaginación post-exílica».

Las prácticas del yahvismo son en gran parte características de otras religiones semíticas de la época. Las prácticas que se conservaron en el judaísmo fueron las festividades, los sacrificios, la toma de votos, los rituales privados y la adjudicación de disputas legales. La oración en sí misma jugó un papel pequeño en el culto oficial.

Los sacrificios de animales desempeñaron un papel importante en el yahvismo y el judaísmo (antes de la destrucción del Segundo Templo en el año 70 d. C.) en los altares, con la posterior quema y el rociado de su sangre, una práctica descrita en la Biblia como un ritual diario del Templo para los Gente judía. El sacrificio era supuestamente complementado con el canto o recitación de salmos, pero los detalles son escasos. Algunos estudiosos han concluido que los rituales detallados en , con su énfasis en la pureza y la expiación, en realidad se siguieron solo después del exilio babilónico y la transición entre yahvismo/judaísmo, y que en realidad cualquier cabeza de familia era capaz de ofrecer sacrificios cuando la ocasión lo requiriera.

Además de los sacerdotes sacrificatorios, los profetas y héroes épicos desempeñaron un gran papel en el yahvismo, y aún más tarde en el judaísmo, reflejados en los textos judíos modernos por leyendas sobre Sansón, Elías y Josué. La adoración se realizó literalmente en lugares altos, con el Templo de Jerusalén situado en el monte Moriá/monte Sion (de ahí, el Monte del Templo), y el templo de los Samaritanos sentado en el monte Gerizim, aunque esto puede ser más una coincidencia que una práctica intencional. Los talismanes y los misteriosos terafines probablemente también se utilizaron. También es posible que el yahvismo empleara rituales de culto extáticos (compare el relato bíblico de David bailando desnudo ante el Arca de la Alianza) en momentos en los que se hicieron populares, y potencialmente incluso sacrificios humanos.

El centro de la adoración de YHWH se encontraba en tres grandes festivales anuales que coincidían con eventos importantes en la vida rural: Pascua con el nacimiento de corderos, Shavuot con la cosecha de cereales y Sucot con la cosecha de frutas. Estas probablemente eran anteriores a la aparición del yahvismo, pero se vincularon a eventos en el mito nacional de Israel: Pascua con el éxodo de Egipto, Shavuot con la promulgación de la ley en el Sinaí y Sucot con las andanzas en el desierto. Las fiestas celebraron así la salvación de Israel de YHWH y el estatus de Israel como su pueblo santo, aunque el significado agrícola anterior no se perdió por completo.

Las enmiendas posteriores a la práctica yahvista son difíciles de calificar, ya que existe un consenso académico poco claro sobre lo que connota explícitamente el judaísmo versus el yahvismo durante el generalmente aceptado «período de transición» en el cautiverio babilónico. Según el erudito bíblico Yehezkel Kaufmann: «El exilio es el punto de inflexión. Con el exilio, la religión de Israel llega a su fin y comienza el judaísmo». La caída de Babilonia ante los persas aqueménidas permitió que los israelitas se familiarizaran con los practicantes del zoroastrismo, y luego influyeran en Israel las nuevas interpretaciones del mesianismo, la cosmología dualista y el más allá, entre otras cosas; sin embargo, el grado de influencia es un tema bastante inseguro y discutido, y el tema se clasifica más apropiadamente como parte del judaísmo del Segundo Templo que como yahvismo.

Pursuing God, the Cure for Narcissism

13 Things that Don't Make Sense: The Most Baffling Scientific Mysteries of Our Time
Michael Brooks
New York: Vintage Books, 2009
Eugene Peterson was feeding his fellow Christians long before he published The Message, his paraphrase of the Bible in contemporary English, but that amazing tour de force raised our gratitude even higher. His insights into church and ministry have refreshed many a weary minister, especially.
Now comes The Pastor, a retrospective summing up a lifetime of ministry, 29 years of it with Christ Our King, the
Baltimore-area church he planted. On these pages he shares how a man who intended never to be a pastor ended up among America's most influential ones.
It wasn't easy, his calling. "The North American culture does not offer congenial conditions in which to live vocationally as a pastor. Men and women who are pastors in America today find that they have entered into a way of life that is in ruins."
That's especially true when a would-be church leader like Peterson refuses to take himself too seriously. And here is a pastor who identifies with novelist Anne Tyler's Saint Maybe (Peterson thinks Pastor Maybe sounds about right) because "that would serve both as a disclaimer to expertise (that if we could just copy the right model, we would have it down) and a ready reminder of the unavoidable ambiguity involved in this vocation."
He is adamant on the pastor's individuality: "No copying. No trying to be successful. The ways in which the vocation of pastor is conceived, develops, and comes to birth is unique to each pastor."
The secret to pastoral success isn't to be found by attending a bunch of leadership conferences but by living with integrity before people and humility before God. The church should not seek numbers or power, but see itself as "a minority people working from the margins." Such a body "has the best chance of being a community capable of penetrating the noncommunity, the mob, the depersonalized, function-defined crowd that is the sociological norm of America."
In doing so, pastor and church must denounce "the American stereotype of church" which believes "salvation is God's business. It is what God does. And then he turns it over to us. Church is our business. It is what we do. God, having given himself to us in Jesus, now retires to the sidelines and we take over. Occasionally we call a time-out to consult with God. But basically, we are the action."
In other words, Peterson wants pastors to remember that the church is at heart "a God-formed community—not fear-formed, not success-motivated, not needs-meeting."
For those who have been in on the founding of a new congregation, The Pastor brings back delicious memories—and the other kind as well. The rewards of church planting are enormous; the frustrations with the "mess," though, are sometimes overwhelming. Peterson's acceptance of both is reflected by a student who, after attending one of his seminars, wrote:
When I get a congregation, I want to be a patient pastor. I want to have eyes to see and ears to hear what God is doing and saying in their lives. I don't want to judge them in terms of what I think they should be doing. . . . The pastor is the one person in the community who is free to take men and women seriously just as they are, appreciate them just as they are, give them the dignity that derives from being the "image of God," a God-created being who has eternal worth without having to prove usefulness or be good for anything. . . . I don't want to be so impatient with the mess that I am not around to see the miracle being formed.
A huge challenge, don't you think?
And of course the English teacher who writes this column appreciates Peterson's words on words: "Godtalk—depersonalized, nonrelational, unlistening language—kills. In the land of the living it is blasphemous, whether spoken from pulpits or across the breakfast table. Pastors and their congregations can't be too careful in the way we use language, this sacred language, this word-of-God language."
The Me Disease
What a contrast! At the same time I was admiring Peterson's pastoral humility, I was trudging through Jean Twenge and Keith Campbell's The Narcissism Epidemic. The differences between gospel-based values and American cultural mores could not be made clearer. The Pastor is all about service, preferring others to oneself, doing without so that others may have, loving people and loving God. Narcissism is all about loving and serving Me. Period. If the authors are to be believed—and they have the statistical data to bolster their argument—narcissism is taking control of America.
A friend recently characterized his newly resigned senior minister, who left his work in shambles, in a word: "He's a narcissist. It's that simple." It's about numbers, prestige, power, and applause. He likes being a pastor for what it does for him. He's not alone; it takes strong faith and genuine meekness not to aspire to be the star of the show, even of God's show.
You may have read Christopher Lasch's 1979 best seller The Culture of Narcissism, an early study of the phenomenon, which was disturbing enough. This book moves beyond disturbing. The authors believe our country is caught in the grip of an epidemic akin to AIDS. That disease doesn't immediately disable or kill, as SARS did; instead, its lethal nature is hidden for a long, glamorous time. Given sufficient time, though, its deadliness manifests itself in crashed careers, destroyed homes, a bankrupt economy (personal and national), and a failure to care about others—hardness of heart, the Bible calls it. Twenge and Campbell's research shows that one in 10 American twentysomethings suffers from narcissistic personality disorder. That's serious.
The condition is exacerbated by popular entertainment. TV reality shows, American Idol and its ilk, Facebook, and MySpace are a few of the media anesthetizing our consciences and promoting every kind of me-firstness. If you aren't satisfied with the attention you're getting, you can even hire your own fake paparazzi. Why not? It's all about you.
But where have Wall Street greed and Botox and "I'm entitled" thinking led us? The disheartening answers are everywhere. In such a culture, what is to be said for things like modesty and gratitude and genuine friendships and simple living that we used to consider virtues?
It's time for another of Eugene Peterson's calls to be God's people living a Spirit-infused, Christ-first life.
The Mysteries Around Us
Not that Christians have the edge on humility. Another good antidote for narcissism is Michael Brook's 13 Things that Don't Make Sense. If this author is to be believed, an awful lot of what we think we know we really don't know. What science does make clear is that it (the universe, the way things function, life itself) isn't all about us. About other things we can't be so sure.
For example, here are a few questions scientists, centuries after Copernicus and Newton, still can't answer:
• Why does the expansion of the universe seem to be speeding up?
• Everybody knows placebos can't work. So why do they (at least sometimes)?
• Do we or do we not have free will? Whatever your answer, can you prove it?
• Some scientists believe that 96 percent of the universe is missing. Where did it go?
• Why do we die?
There are more, but these are enough to give you the idea.
Brooks, former senior features editor for New Science, moves with facility among such disciplines as physics, chemistry, astronomy, medicine, and psychology, checking out the anomalies that continue to baffle today's best thinkers.
What is refreshing is the admission—often missing in religious readers—that there are very few pat answers, that "the things that don't make sense are, in some ways, the only things that matter."
Not much room for narcissism here.

If you thought you've eaten good chocolate any time in your life prior to attending this event one taste from the Top Ten would set you straight immediately. Hershey? Shut your mouth! Ghiradelli? Pfft. Cadbury? Please. Godiva? Meh. The unique flavors developed by each chocolatier are unmatched. Once you have their chocolate your standards elevate tenfold. So try being satisfied from a Snickers after trying Anette Right DeFendi's balsamic rare facets with strawberry that looks like a prized ruby and shines like one. Or tasting the silky smooth chocolate shell with no granular texture but actually melts as soon as tongue hits your lips/tongue from Stick With Me's banana bonbon. The flat and crispy Rocher's made by EHChocolatier that I admit I had several of whenever I found myself drifting back to that particular table. The Indian components in the mango lassi white chocolate filled piece. The subtle habanero in Oliver Kita's semi-sweet chocolate hearts. The richness and visual beauty of these chocolates was enough to have you peer at them for a few minutes before daring to taste a piece. Once you did indulge though? There was no turning back and, admittedly, some gluttony happened on my part.
KOHLER Original Recipe Chocolates by Anette Right DeFendi had me gluttonous.
Polska's Chocolate. Had an earthy essence to it.
Adam S. Turoni's creme brulee bites made with white chocolate.
Also a sense of sorry took hold as the event came to an end and chocolatiers tried to get rid of their goods. When would I be able to have these bites again? (In the case of Stick With Me the shop is located in SoHo, NYC. Sweet!) But for pieces that range with origins in Rhinebeck to California to Mexico there was an actual pain in my chest that I may never taste these again. Admittedly this was dramatic thinking as most of the honored chocolatiers offer shipping for their goods. As is I'm saving the balsamic gems for a rainy, or stressful, day eager to taste the sweet and fruity ganache filling yet resisting to truly relive the magic.
EHChocolatiers Ancho Bar. So good. This surpasses a Snickers.
A shiny box of glorious Stick With Me bonbons.
Co Co. Sala's mango lassi. Super sweet.
Congrats to all the Top Ten Chocolatiers for 2015!Chuao Chocolatier, KOHLER Original Recipe Chocolates, EHChocolatier, Oliver Kita Chocolates, Polska European Bakery & Chocolate, Fine & Raw, Co Co. Sala, Voilá Chocolat, Chocolat by Adam Turoni, and Stick With Me.

The Schemas tab comes back to the data source properties dialog. We added the Pattern field, where you can describe what you want to be introspected. The Ctrl+Q (Ctrl+J for OSX) shortcut will give you information about the syntax.
As you know, DataGrip resolves objects from SQL code to your database. It means that the IDE understands which particular object you use in your script and provides navigation, code completion, and everything else that we are proud of. But previously this process incurred some difficulties if objects in code were unqualified. For instance, if your script contained just table names without schemas or databases, and there were two identical data sources, test and production, then the situation would become confusing.
Now, you can simply map any file or folder to any datasource in Settings → Database → SQL resolution scopes. This means that all unqualified objects will be resolved to the selected datasource/database/schema. The project level mappings are the same as Options → Resolved unqualified references in previous versions.
Many of you asked us to implement some simple UI for creating schemas and databases. Voila!
Decide if you want these new schemas and databases to be introspected immediately. This also applies to creating and deleting schemas/databases from the query console.
NB! As we still do not support several databases for PostgreSQL, any database created in this UI will not appear in the database tree, even if this option is enabled. Please create another data source to manage your new database.
Data Source color (Context menu→ Color settings) now affects the console and result tab toolbars. It can even be applied to the editor and grid as well. We hope this will help you avoid running test scripts on your production databases.
We introduced a small database tree improvement for SQLite users. In earlier versions, we used the introspection provided by JDBC-driver for SQLite. As a result, many objects were absent in the database tree and some source codes were incorrect. Now we show triggers, expression indexes, partial indexes and check constraints.
We've been asked to make the import process more flexible. It frequently happens that the number of columns in a .csv file is not the same as in the target table. Or you just want to import several columns from a file, but not all of them. Now it's possible to map every column of the file being imported to a table column in your database, which can be either an existing table or a new one created during the import process. Of course, completion works for column names.
Now there is an easy way to export tables and their data from one database/schema to another. It works even if the tables are in different databases from different vendors. For example, if you need to copy a table from a PostgreSQL database to a SQL Server database, just drag-n-drop it. Check if all is OK in the Import table window and go ahead!
The same for the result-set! We added the Export to database button. Choose any schema in the list and go ahead: the new table is created, the data is inserted.
Here is the most important point for PostgreSQL users: now DataGrip respects the default search path. Before, we set the search path according to the context of the console opening. At some point we discovered it wasn't very convenient for many of you. Now the default search path is set for any console. Change it in any moment or go back to the default one.
The IDE supports NEW/OLD and INSERTED/UPDATED tables when creating or editing triggers. This means you can use completion for these tables' columns as well.
Try enabling Settings → Editor → Appearance → Show parameter name hints: DataGrip will prompt you about column names in INSERT statements.
Aliases casing can now be set in Settings → Editor → Code style → SQL. Aliases are offered in code completion.
The general platform setting in Settings → Editor → Appearance → Show method separator now draws a line between statements.
An amusing feature for MySQL: due to errors in the MySQL grammar, a database cannot run queries with some combinations of parenthesis and UNION's. Now DataGrip can handle these situations.
A small helpful action is available to those who don't want to wade through colors and fonts settings to find a single thing they need. For now it is only present in the Find Action menu (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+A), but as usual, you can assign any shortcut to it.
This action will navigate you to the settings which are relevant to the context under the caret. If there are several of them, just choose one.
The column details in the Modify Table dialog are now opened by double-cliсk. We changed it based on your negative feedback on single-click opening.
Sometimes you make changes to the source code of some object, but forget to apply them. As you may know, DataGrip will detect and indicate this with colored marks on the gutter. If you modify such an object in some other place in DataGrip, the source code editor will alert you.
Also, now DataGrip loads the correct source code for views in SQLite. Before it was the 'CREATE table' code.
Some information was added to the status bar of the data editor. It is query time and selected column/row numbers under the cursor.
Also, we have the new option to include or exclude text occurrences in Find Usages.
If it's selected, the results will include comments, occurrences in text files, and string literals.

34 Responses to DataGrip 2017.1 Released!
Great job guys! Is this release included within intellij ultimate?
can it support pl/sql Oracle?
…"better trigger support" is not available for mysql?
It is. What problems did you face?
mmmmm… Now he doesn't update the "list" of tables in the system (MSSQL). Introspecting returns no errors but it doesn't add the table to auto-complete (for example).
Is the schema in the DB-tree? Can you share a screenshot to maxim.sobolevskiy@jetbrains.com please?
Is this going to be ported to PHPStorm ?
Hi Maksim, how are you?
Can I use DataGrip with PhpStorm? What I mean is: I have a PhpStorm project and I want my DB informations to be shared with DataGrip (It's not a good thing to duplicate the configurations). Is this possible? If not, is something like this in the roadmap?
But I am using it the other way around.
Hi! Now you cannot share datasources between different IDE's.
But you can share datasources between projects in one IDE.
If you want to port datasoucres from, say, DataGrip to PhpStorm, you can do this by copying datasource folder. But then, again, they won't be synchronized.
Is it possible to debug postgresql functions ?
Now it is not possible, Cristiano.
I would like to have the same super easy UI as Sequel Pro combined with DataGrip extra features.
Can you please tell us, what is your favorite UI features of Sequel Pro?
Why have i now lost most of my Live Templates? and some recent consoles etc? Is there anyway to downgrade and get all my settings, live templates and files back?
Overnight its also completely forgotten about one of the files i created in the show history dialog even though its still open in the editor. I'm missing all the live templates i created yesterday and no longer have an entire console worth of queries anywhere in the entire project or scratch files.
If i use toolbox to revert is there any chance this will all reappear? Its literally an entire days work gone for no reason with no history.
Are you sure that the old version is replaced? Did you refresh with the toolbox?
I cannot find how to edit existing routines (stored procedures) in mySql that were created with 2016. Double clicking on the routine name now generates a new routine stub instead of opening it for editing. I've right clicked everywhere and opened every menu and pressed every button looking for where it is hiding.
Could somebody help me find out how I can edit my existing routines in 2017.1?
It generates a CREATE script, but it is a new one, not the existing script with all of the existing code. I am trying to edit an existing script.
This is what is in the editor.
Why would I want to create a new script by double-clicking on an existing one. I can avoid double clicking, if this is the way it's supposed to be, but how to I get to editing and exist script. I see no way to do this.
That was the cure! It is now working correctly and I will switch over to using it from 2016.
I would like to know if the autocomplete hotkey is working properly because I can't use it after the last release. What I mean is, the autocomplete is showing just a set of first tables then stop.
Do I need to update or install anything else?
Hi. I can't find selected record export ? How can I do this ? It took all records but I want to selected record. By the way, It tooks all columns and I want not null columns in export because it's unneccessarry. Is there any idea to help me ? Thanks.
What actually do you do for export? Are you on Windows or OSX?
What database so you use?

Q: Is it possible to unify these two expressions into one? I have the following expressions $\forall n \in \Bbb N$:
$E = f(n)-1$ if $n \gt 1$
$E = f(n)+1$ if $n = 0$
I would like to have only one expression like this:
$E = f(n)+$(some nice notation able to unify both cases into one)

Is there a notation able to unify the expressions into one? $n=0$ is an special case. Initially I do not think it is possible but there might be a notation capable of doing it and I do not see it. Thank you!

A: $E = f(n) + \dfrac{|n - 1/2|}{1/2 - n}$

The addiction of gambling has destroyed many lives. Willing to sacrifice careers and lovers, finances and futures, such individuals are trapped by their own obsession.
Often exceptionally gifted in their ability to win, the individual's triumphs only imbed the addiction more deeply into their souls. As the addiction increases, sincere attempts to stop and live in the joy of normal relationships and careers cannot compare with the adrenaline rushes of the thrills of gambling.
Although director John Dahl and writers David Levien and Brian Koppelman present the gambling addiction and the culture which depends upon it in all its horrific despair, their film "Rounders" is nevertheless unsettling. Their "gambler" wins in the end and heads off into the sunset in search of his dream of becoming the world champion poker player in Vegas.
This message contradicts both the major theme of the film and the wisdom of their own intuitions. Having presented a film in which the main character is willing to lie to his lover, destroy his career and risk everything on one hand of poker, they imply that he can achieve his dreams. For the 4% who become enslaved, gambling is a consuming addiction which leaves its victims destroyed.
The central figure of "Rounders" is Mike McDermott (Matt Damon). As a "rounder", Mike is an experienced member of the New York City underworld of illegal gambling. A charming, handsome, intelligent man who is also going to law school, he uses his skills to provide for his tuition and living expenses. He is in love with a beautiful and faithful woman named Jo (Gretchen Mol).
One night, having been inspired by his own ability to play a hand with the world champion and win, he decides to take on the notoriously merciless Teddy KGB (John Malkovich). Having won $30,000 for his tuition and living expenses, Mike takes it all and bets it during a game with Teddy KGB.
This changes his life. For nine months, he promises Jo that he will never gamble again and focuses intently on his law school classes.
But then his old gambling buddy, Worm (Edward Norton), is released from prison. Many years earlier, Worm had kept his mouth shut when Mike and Worm had fixed their high school basketball game and Worm was fingered. Rather than get his sentence lowered by ratting on Mike, he kept quiet and spent several years in prison. Now he is released and Mike goes to pick him up and help him get started again.
Worm proves to be the undoing of in Mike's recovery. Using his friendship and manipulating everyone, Worm eventually gets Mike to gamble once more. This causes Jo to leave Mike and it also threatens his success in law school. When this happens, Mike abandons any of his attempts to get free from his addictionand he jumps back into the mire.
This is what makes gambling so destructive. Although he had spent nine wonderful months with a beautiful, faithful and loving woman, Mike could not enjoy her or his obvious success in law school. Instead, it all seems dull and lifeless compared to one night at a gambling table.
Mike's commitment to Worm is tested to the limit as he becomes ensnared into Worm's own self-destructive cycle of gambling. When Worm gets so far into debt that the enforcers of the clubs at which he gambles are threatening his life, Mike steps in to help him. The consequence is that Mike soon has Worm's debt on his own head and his own life is threatened.
This also is the nature of addictions. Those who try to help are often victims of the fallout, and sometimes pay an even greater price than the addicted person does.
"Rounders" is an unsettling film because it clearly shows the destructive cycle of gambling and yet glorifies it as well. The repeated claim that it is a "skill" and not luck seems to be a rationalization offered to those whose lives are consumed with this addiction. No amount of rationalization or success will satisfy the deeper needs of all of us for love and commitment, self-respect and purpose.

Japan population shrinks by record in 2010
Published Saturday, January 01, 2011
Japan's government says the population fell by a record amount last year, as the number of deaths climbed to an all-time high in the quickly aging country.
Japan logged 1.19 million deaths in 2010 - the biggest number since 1947 when the health ministry's annual records began. The number of births was nearly flat.
As a result, Japan contracted by 123,000 people, which was the most ever and represents the fourth consecutive year of population decline. The top causes of death were cancer, heart disease and stroke, the ministry said.
Japan faces a looming demographic squeeze. Baby boomers are moving toward retirement, with fewer workers and taxpayers to replace them.
The Japanese boast among the highest life expectencies in the world but have extremely low birth rates.

Jon Jones will fight the winner Miocic vs Ngannou 2, says Dana White
UFC president Dana White has said that former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will fight the winner of Stipe Miocic vs Francis Ngannou 2.
The current UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic will defend his title against Francis Ngannou at UFC 260 scheduled to take place on March 27.
Jon Jones vacated his UFC light heavyweight title last year following his win over rising contender Dominick Reyes at UFC 247. Following his win, there were talks about Jon Jones moving up to heavyweight to take on Francis Ngannou.
However, Jon Jones wanted more money to fight Ngannou, which the UFC weren't willing to give it to Jones at that point in time.
Jon Jones to fight for the heavyweight title soon: Dana White
However, months have passed since that incident and Jan Blachowicz is the new champion after knocking out Reyes at UFC 253. Now Dana White has revealed that Jones will finally get his wish of fighting for the heavyweight title as he will be fighting the winner of Francis Ngannou vs Stipe Miocic 2.
"Heavyweight. Jon Jones is going to move to heavyweight. We're going to have Stipe vs. Francis, and the winner of that will probably fight Jon Jones," White said in an interview with SportsNet.
"The guy's been the king of the light heavyweight division forever. I think he thinks it's time to move up to heavyweight. He knows his body, he knows his abilities, he knows better than anybody else does. But it's impressive. Let me tell you, who wants to fight Francis Ngannou? The answer is nobody, okay? Nobody wants to fight that guy. But Jon Jones does. Pretty impressive," White said.
"Me and Jon Jones have been (butting heads) for 10 years. We had probably the best conversation we've ever had since we've known each other around the holidays. And to me, he seems like he's in the right place. He's doing all the right things right now, he's saying all the right things. If everything plays out for us the way that it's looking, in our 2021 we're going to see a lot of Jon Jones, a lot of Conor, and maybe some Khabib," White said.
Jones has been on an absolute tear ever since making his UFC debut. He hasn't lost a fight inside the Octagon and has been fighting the 'Who's Who' in the division and has dominated the UFC's 205lbs division for over a decade.
Do you guys think Jones can become UFC heavyweight champion? Let us know in the comments section below.

Liverpool hero Martin Skrtel hopes his bravery can spark a top-four push
Skrtel scored twice in last season's famous 5-1 demolition of the Gunners
David PrenticeHead of Regional Sport Agenda Team
Martin Skrtel celebrates his goal
Liverpool FC defender Martin Skrtel put his head in where it hurts on Sunday - to put Arsenal on the receiving end once again. And this time the Slovakian hopes his injury time goal can act as a springboard for a top-four push.
Skrtel scored twice in last season's famous 5-1 demolition of the Gunners, that time in the opening ten minutes, a result which was a platform for an unlikely title push.
On Sunday he netted another dramatic header deep into injury time to secure a richly earned point. The majority of the nine minutes of added time came from an appalling head injury he had sustained, a gash described by Liverpool physio Chris Morgan as the "biggest cut I've been involved in dealing with!"
Liverpool vs Arsenal
The Reds cut man added: "Only Crouchy versus Sheffield United in '07 comes close and he had to come off!"
Morgan used staples, a clotting powder and then compression to staunch the flow - and his skills ensured that Skrtel was able to carry on to deliver his dramatic denouement.
Skrtel had EIGHT staples inserted into the wound - and was delighted to be told he could carry on after treatment.
"It was sore afterwards but I was glad I could carry on and be there to the end," he said. "Eight staples. Staples again! I spoke to the doctor on the pitch and he said it would be all right to carry on and I am glad I stayed out there.
"It was a great goal and a big one for us. To get a point was reward for fighting right to the end and I am glad for myself because I've had a few chances this season but couldn't score and now I've finally scored.
"That goal and the performance can help turn things around because there has been a lot of criticism of us this season. I hope it will change and we'll be better in the second half of the season."
A draw was the very least Liverpool deserved after dominating Arsenal throughout, but once again sloppy defending almost undermined their bold attacking intentions.
"Obviously it is disappointing because we wanted to get the three points," added Skrtel "but to go behind and then score a late equaliser is good and I think we showed that spirit, fight and desire.
"It is a good point but we wanted more.
"We showed a great performance, we moved the ball well and scored two goals but unfortunately we conceded two as well. It was not an easy game, it was tough as it always is against Arsenal, but if we carry on in this way it can be good for us."
After a series of shot-shy games including a goalless draw at home to Sunderland and the 1-1 draw with Basel which proved fatal to the club's Champions League hopes, Liverpool have now scored five goals in two matches and Skrtel hopes that a return to last season's attacking enterprise can spark a charge back up the table.
"In the last three games, against United, Bournemouth and Arsenal, we have shown great performances and we need to keep going this way," he added. "If we do it will be good for us and results will be better.
"In the last three games. We've moved the ball well, created a lot of chances. We just need to improve a few things and it will be better for us.
"The new system is different but it is working. We played a few games last season like this but it is up to the manager whether we carry it on or not."

Anthony Joshua, Wladimir Klitschko spread their news in old New York
Posted on February 1, 2017 by Robert Morales

Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua of England has an objective – to be the best ever.
"That's my obsession," he said Tuesday in New York City, where he and former champion Wladimir Klitschko hosted a news conference promoting their April 29 fight at Wembley Stadium in London, where a sellout crowd of 90,000 is expected.
"I'm a man who likes to perform and entertain and that's always been there. I've always wanted to take on the best," Joshua said.
Since Klitschko will be 41 by the time this fight happens – his birthday is March 25 – Klitschko may not be "the best" at this point. That's not to mention he's coming off a loss to Tyson Fury that took place in November 2015. That's another thing. Klitschko will have some 17 months out of the ring by fight night.
"I believe this man has a lot of skills," Klitschko said of Joshua. "Maybe yes, maybe not he will be the biggest star in boxing. I know there are plans to fight (Deontay) Wilder after me.
"It's good to be young and ambitious, but I believe this fight has a lot of questions. Is it too early for him, too late for me?"
Joshua, 27, is 18-0 with 18 knockouts. Klitschko, of Ukraine, is 64-4 with 53 knockouts.

Chris Arreola of Riverside on Saturday showed the courage he typically does in a fight, but it wasn't nearly enough in his challenge to heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.
Wilder decked Arreola in the fourth and otherwise battered Arreola for eight lopsided rounds, Arreola's trainer Henry Ramirez asking referee Jack Reiss to stop the fight before the ninth at Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Ala.
Wilder (37-0, 36 KOs) gets credit for an eighth-round TKO and has now made four successful title defenses. Wilder apparently broke his right hand in that fourth round and also tore his right biceps.
Arreola (36-5-1) for the third time failed to become the first boxer of Mexican descent to win a major title in the heavyweight division. He was also stopped inside the distance by Vitali Klitschko in 2009 and by Bermane Stiverne in 2014.
Shortly after the bout had ended, Ramirez responded to a text message to say that Arreola was "in good spirits" and that he was getting "stiched up." Arreola was cut and his left eye was nearly shut.
Wilder says he now wants the other champions.
"My goal is to unify the division, so whoever got those belts, that's who I want," he said. "Yes, I want the (Tyson) Furys. Yes, I want the Anthony Joshuas. The question is, do they want me?"

Brooklyn heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller knows technique is vital

Jarrell Miller of Brooklyn is looking to make a name for himself in the heavyweight division. Although he has a record of 17-0-1 with 15 knockouts against very mediocre competition, he apparently realizes that this game is about a lot more than just power.
This past Saturday's heavyweight title fight between champion Anthony Joshua of England and Alhambra's Dominic Breazeale showed Miller that, if he didn't already know it.
"I'm going back to basics in this camp," said Miller, who next will take on journeyman Fred Kassi on Aug. 19 at Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, N.Y. (on Showtime). "I'm an advanced fighter, but there are a couple of things I've wanted to work on. It's easy for heavyweights to rely on power and forget about technique. You see what happened to Dominic Breazeale against Anthony Joshua? His power didn't mean jack because there was no technique behind it. I want to be the kind of fighter who puts his technique first and power last."
Breazeale was 17-0 with 15 knockouts when he stepped into the ring with Joshua, and Joshua stopped Breazeale in the seventh round. Breazeale's lack of technique – he didn't don the boxing gloves until he was 23 – was evident, especially when compared to Joshua's.
Miller, 27, is ranked as high as No. 8 in the world by one governing body and No. 9 by another. He stands 6-foot-4.
Kassi is 0-3-1 in his past four bouts. But the losses were to Amir Mansour, Breazeale and Hughie Fury; the draw was against contender Chris Arreola. Kassi (18-5-1, 10 KOs) seems unfazed by Miller's accomplishments.
"I approach Jarrell like all young fighters," said Kassi, 36, of New Orleans. "I'm a seasoned pro that has fought top-tier opponents. Jarrell will have to bring his 'A' game against me. He's got size and power, but it's nothing I haven't seen."

Dominic Breazeale of Alhambra was simply outclassed in his challenge to heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua on Saturday at O2 Arena in Joshua's native England.
Joshua appeared to have won ever round before decking Breazeale twice in the seventh round, the referee waving off the fight after the second knockdown.
The seventh-round TKO at 1:01 of the round was Joshua's first title defense.
Breazeale (17-1) got in a few shots here and there, but there was never any indication he was going to take Joshua's title
Joshua is now 17-0 with 17 knockouts.

Deontay Wilder sees Anthony Joshua-Dominic Breazeale as a '50-50′ fight

Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder holds one of the four championship belts, and he'd love to get the rest of them. That means he'll be an interested observer Saturday when Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) defends his title against Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs) of Alhambra at O2 Arena in Joshua's native England.
Wilder this week gave his thoughts on that fight, which be televised at 2:15 p.m. (Pacific time) on Showtime.
"I definitely see the fight as a 50-50," said Wilder, who July 16 will defend his title against Chris Arreola of Riverside at Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Ala. (on Fox). "You've got two big heavyweights, and the challenger wants what the champion has, and the champion wants to keep what he has.
"It's going to be interesting because we've seen Breazeale in a lot of wars. He's almost been taken out by some of the smaller heavyweights. He's been punched around, but he has always survived. We've seen Joshua (get) busted up as well, but he has kept his composure, and this fight is in his backyard amongst his people."
It sounded like Wilder won't be surprised if Breazeale emerges victorious because, "I think he really wants it."

Dominic Breazeale pulls no punches when asked for prediction for fight with heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua
Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua of England and contender Dominic Breazeale of Alhambra on Monday played host to a conference call promoting their title fight Saturday at O2 Arena in London (on Showtime).
Joshua fielded questions first, then Breazeale. At the end, Breazeale was asked for a prediction. The former Division I college quarterback (Northern Colorado) pulled no punches.
"Knockout," Breazeale said. "I keep telling you guys, man. Six, seven rounds, I'm knocking Anthony Joshua out."
Breazeale, 30, is 17-0 with 15 knockouts. Joshua, 26, is 16-0 with 16 knockouts. He won the title with a second-round knockout of Charles Martin of St. Louis this past April at O2 Arena.

Dominic Breazeale, on June 25 challenge to heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua: 'Whoever lands first is going to win'
Dominic Breazeale of Alhambra is 17-0 with 15 knockouts. Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua of England is 16-0 with 16 knockouts.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that their June 25 bout likely won't go the distance.
"We're two knockout artists, so whoever lands first is going to win," Breazeale said Thursday after arriving in London, where he will challenge Joshua for his title at O2 Arena (on Showtime); Joshua grew up in Watford, Hertfordshire, about 17 miles from central London.
Breazeale, 30, intimated that as soon as he sees fit, he is going to attack Joshua with gusto.
"I am an opportunist and if I see an opportunity, I am going to take advantage of it," said Breazeale, who boxed for Team USA in the 2012 London Games. "If he exposes something or shows a weakness of some sort, I plan to take advantage of it."

Q: Why do Google Images and YouTube work although I have images / Flash blocked? I use a couple add-ons for Firefox that block Flash and images if I choose them to.
However, they work well when I do a Google search for images and watch YouTube videos. How could it be that those get by the blocking of images if images and Flash are disabled?
I am using Firefox 8 and Windows XP with images off by default and using the Flashblock add-on.

A: Read some more and did some searching and came across a few answers here.
For some reasons sometimes Flash that is in iframs will slip through and be shown when flashblock should be blocking them.
With images and youtube showing in the google search has to do with javascript. I assume the images are being shown using javascript and for whatever reason it bypasses the settings. I disable javascript, no more images shown.

A: There should be a "trusted" sites for the add-on and firefox. If the sites arnt there, just add them to the block list.

Police officer saves child who almost choked to death
First eight traffic cameras in 2020
July 6, 2019 at 9:08am
The first eight speed cameras will be in operation in 2020 under a government timetable to reintroduce traffic cameras to help stem the bloodshed on the roads.
Tenders for a total of 110 cameras — 90 stationary and 20 mobile — were launched last week.
The plan is for another 36 to operate in 2021 and another 66 in 2022
The Justice Ministry is asking the House of Representatives to release €119,000 to pay for a study on where the 90 fixed cameras will be installed.
The experts advising the government on the issue will study police statistics on black spots on the roads.
Under the timetable submitted to parliament, the cameras will be installed over the period 2020 to 2022. The 20 mobile cameras will be used for spot checks.
The pilot phase with four stationary and four mobile cameras will begin in 2020.
Another 20 stationary and 16 mobile cameras will come into operation in 2021 and the remaining 66 stationary cameras will be installed in 2022.
The total cost of buying and operating the cameras in the first five years has been estimated at about €35.2 m.
Cyprus has been without traffic cameras for 12 years after the company awarded the contract was successfully challenged in court by a competitor.
Police have long been calling for the return of cameras they say will be instrumental in reducing fatalities and making roads safer.
Tenders for traffic cameras 'before end of June'

Grenade thrown Russian consulate : A grenade was thrown early Friday into the courtyard of the Russian consulate in Athens, police said, an attack typical of domestic far-left groups. The area in the Athens suburb of Halandri was rapidly cordoned off and bomb specialists were dispatched, a police source said. The grenade did not explode and no injuries were caused. The attack occurred at around 0730 IST.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. It is believed that the grenade was lobbed by one or two persons on a motorbike. Police were inspecting for possible links to a burnt motorbike found later in central Athens. The consulate was closed at the time. The move is typical of domestic far-left outfits. In December, a grenade exploded outside Skai, one of Greece's main media groups, causing damage to the building.

Snapshot Saturday is now hosted by Melinda at West Metro Mommy. Please be sure to stop buy and check out all of the snapshots that everyone is sharing today. Me…I'm standing out in the heat at my Yard Sale. Wish me Luck!!
My yard is not as "kept" as I'd like it to be. My house used to be my Grandparents house and one of the things left to me is a statue of St. Anthony that my Grandpop put in years ago. Interesting story is that when my Grandmother passed away, my Uncle Tony who was also my godfather, wanted the statue. He had already given a home to a statue of the Blessed Mother that was here. We were happy to share the statues with him. He tried to get St. Anthony out of the ground. He dug and dug, probably about 4 or 5 feet down. Nothing doing. St. Anthony is there to stay on a cement stand. When I sell the house, I then have to figure out how to get St. Anthony out because I want him to go with me. I think someone is going to have to hack him out of the cement. It won't be me. Anyone good with chopping concrete? My sister, Ele and I often joked that we should dress up St. Anthony for the holidays…a witch's hat for Halloween, a Santa hat for Christmas. We weren't being sacrilegious. We just thought of him as part of the family.
Be sure to stop by at West Metro Mommy to check out everyone who's participating in today's Snapshot Saturday.
What a cool statue. It's like St. Anthony in hiding. Reminds me of my cat in the tall grasses. Ha.
Good luck with your yard sale Fran.
Thanks, Meghan! I thought it looked pretty cool. Really need to free him and then figure how the heck to get him off that pedestal!!
What a fun story! I like St. Anthony….he looks like he belongs there. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
Thanks, Laurel! Thanks for visiting and enjoy your Sunday!
Nice story behind the photo.
Thanks, Elizabeth! Have a great day!
Good luck getting St. Anthony out – I'm sure he'll love NM!
Stacie, I think he'll fit right in!! Have a great day!
I kind of like dressing up St. Anthony for the holidays!
Thanks, Melinda…I always thought it was a good idea. Maybe when I get to New Mexico I will! Have a great day!

Lisa Kleypas writes solid contemporary romances too, but this series about a quartet of 19th-century young women who band together to conquer the London marriage market was a favorite with our voters and our panelists.

Anjuli is a neglected princess, condemned first to an unwanted marriage and then to suttee when her husband dies — but happiness beckons for Ash and Anjuli in the "far pavilions" of the Himalayas, away from the prejudices that have kept them apart.
Jane Austen's most famous work was one of your favorite picks (second only to the Outlander series). So much has been said about Elizabeth and Darcy that now their place in the romance canon goes without saying — we'll just leave you with the mental image of Colin Firth diving into that lake.

Plymouth Argyle's reputation played a big part in Jason Banton's arrival at the club
The winger has been reflecting on his time with the Pilgrims ahead of pre-season match for Torquay United

Former Plymouth Argyle manager Ian Holloway and former player Yannick Bolasie played a part in Jason Banton's arrival at the club in January 2013.
The winger arrived in Plymouth in a loan deal from Crystal Palace, who were managed by Holloway at the time.
Banton, who is set to play against the Pilgrims for his new club Torquay United on Tuesday night, scored six goals in 14 games for Argyle during that loan spell and praised then manager John Sheridan for allowing him freedom to play in such a way.

"It was a really good time, it helped that I was coming from a positive team like Palace," said Banton.
"I was coming from a club that were on a high and I had nothing to lose.
"It was my first proper spell of first team football and when you are younger you aren't really attached to the clubs and you just get to play with freedom.
"John Sheridan gave me that freedom and I flourished under it."
After a loan spell with MK Dons for the first half of the 2013/14 season, the winger made a return to Argyle on a permanent basis.
Plymouth Argyle spell was my best time in football, says Torquay United's Jason Banton
Banton's agent wanted him to move to the Scottish Premiership but it was 'Ollie' that convinced him to come to the Pilgrims.
"I had quite a few offers because I had done so well but it was a no-brainer to come back to Argyle.
"I didn't know much about Plymouth before I arrived [the first time] but I spoke to Yannick Bolasie because he was at Plymouth.
"I spoke to Ian Holloway, who was my manager at the time at Crystal Palace and he spoke highly of Argyle.
"That was the information I had at the time and it was between them and St Johnstone in Scotland.

"The agent I had at the time wanted me to go to Scotland because they looked at it like SPL or League Two.
"But Ian Holloway said I would be better off going to Argyle and that is how that move came about."
Banton's permanent spell with Argyle wasn't as fruitful as his loan move with the club, with almost as many appearances from the bench as starts.
The winger was hit with a number of injuries, which made it tough for him to make an impact as the club claimed a place in the League Two play-offs.
"It was an injury hit spell. I have been unfortunate with injuries since then, really," said Banton.
"My return to Argyle was injury hit but I remember my first season back, we just missed out on the play-offs.
"The second year, going into the brand new season, that is when we got into the play-offs.
"I did my hamstring a couple of times and when I got injured was when the team went on a decent run and got into the play-offs so it was only fair that Sheridan played the play-offs with the team that got them there.
"I will always respect Sheridan for that. But because I had done so well in my loan spell there, it was hard to replicate that but it was by far the best time I had in my football career to date."

Synergistic Research | highend-electronics, inc. Synergistic Research – highend-electronics, inc.
Synergistic Research has been around for many years developing cables through objective measurements, advanced active technologies and proprietary cable geometries. Synergistic Research voice each of their cables through a series of subjective listening tests to select material combinations that will enable each cable design to reproduce music that is as close to live as possible.
Synergistic Research not only develops and makes cables of the highest quality. Besides some great inventions such as Zero Capacitance Active Shielding, Ted Denney - owner and chief designer more recently made some new, really exciting inventions and developments.
Cables are treated with a process called Quantum Tunneling. This is a process that changes the way a cable conducts the signal at the sub atomic level affecting the entire cable assembly- connectors (RCA, XLR, Spade, or Banana), solder joints, dielectric and signal and ground conductors are all transformed and integrated as a single unit. By applying a two million volt extreme high frequency signal to a cable at a specific pulse modulation and frequency for an exact duration of time, Synergistic Research alters the entire cable at molecular level through a phenomenon called Quantum Tunneling. The before and after is startling with a lower noise floor and major improvements in inner detail, air, low frequency extension and overall transparency and signal speed.
Synergistic Research latest development is the UEF Technology - Uniform Energy Field Technology.
