Additional specimens of the Campanian ammonite Hoplitoplacenticeras (H.) howarthi Collignon, 1970, as well as examination of Collignon's (1970) Madagascar! specimens of Hoplitoplacenticeras allow us to discuss the intraspecific variation, probable dimorphism and affinities of the species.
Key words: ammonites, Hoplitoplacenticeras; Upper Campanian, intraspecific variation, dimorphism, affinities, Madagascar, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
In September 2007 one of us (H.C.K.) collected several specimens of the Campanian ammonite Hoplitoplacenticeras (H.) howarthi Collignon, 1970 from the Nibela Peninsula in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. These specimens add to the previous description of the species from the same locality by Klinger & Kennedy (1989), subsurface material from Durban (Kennedy & Klinger 1973) and Madagascar (Collignon 1970). This species is extremely variable as far as ornamentation and relative proportions are concerned. We were able to examine the holotype and other representatives of the subgenus from Madagascar and compare these with some of the better-known representatives of the subgenus from other geographic regions. In addition we can recognize the probable nature of dimorphism in Hoplitoplacenticeras (H-) howarthi.
Details of localities in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa are given in Kennedy & Klinger (1975).

Type species

For an extensive review and discussion of the genus Hoplitoplacenticeras see Kennedy (1986, p. 63) and description of the European, specifically the German representatives of the genus see Kaplan et al. (1996,2005) and Kennedy & Kaplan (1997). Hoplitoplacenticeras differs from other genera referred to the family Placenticeratidae Meek, 1876 (see e.g. Kennedy & Wright 1983 and Klinger & Kennedy 1989) mainly by the ontogenetic change in ornament from the phragmocone to the body chamber, especially on the later part of the latter towards the aperture. The ontogenetic changes include weakening of tubercu-lation and ribbing, leaving ultimately a body chamber covered in dense lirae and striae only or with near-effaced tubercles.

Name of the species
As first revising authors we select howarthi as the name of the species
Holotype by monotypy is the original of Collignon (1970, p. 80, pl. 639, fig. 2351 UBGD12351 (Fig. 8G-I) housed in the collections of the UFR Sciences de la Terre, Université de Bourgogne, Dijon, from the Upper Campanian of Gisement 227-2, Mokotibe (Antsalova), Madagascar.
SAM-PCZ6586-6587, PCZ7421, 7711, 7719, PCZ18308 (ex NMB-D1314) PCZ18309, PCZ14268, PCZ22138-22145, OUM KX8284-6, all from locality 110, cliff and foreshore sections at the southwestern tip of the Nibela Peninsula, and SAM-PCZ20172, from locality 109F, to the west of the former locality in foreshore exposures; both St Lucia Formation, Campanian III. A single specimen is from excavations at Somtseu Road, Durban in the collections of the Geology Department, University of Natal, Mzamba Formation, Campanian II?
As is the case in the family Placenticeratidae in general, (see e.g. Klinger & Kennedy 1989), but specifically in the genus Hoplitoplacenticeras, the material is extremely variable, both in terms of strength and density of lateral ornament and relative proportions of the shell. This is further complicated by the extreme changes in ornament in the transition from the phragmocone to the body chamber, as well as the effects of dimorphism.
Despite this wide variation in morphology, the following general diagnosis applies to H. (H.) howarthi from KwaZulu-Natal:
Narrowly umbilicate, umbilical wall on phragmocone near-vertical, whorl section trapezoidal, generally higher than wide, ornament consists ofprominent, conical umbilical tubercles, connected to bifurcating, prorsiradiate sinusoidal ribs with inner and forwardly displaced outer ventro-lateral tubercles. On body chamber ornament changes, with ribbing becoming closer spaced, less prominent, and weaker. The whorl section becomes more rounded, and the umbilical wall tends to slope outwards. Adult size varies considerably, probable microconchs and macroconchs can be distinguished, but relative proportions between these overlap considerably. Complete apertures are unknown.
Early ontogeny
The early ontogenetic stage is partially visible on the inner whorls of PCZ22145 (Fig. 5A-C) and preserved as an impression on PCZ22141 (Fig. 2A-C). It is best seen on the juvenile specimen from Somtseu Road in Durban figured by Kennedy & Klinger (1973, pl. 5, fig. 4a-c) where the dominant ornament consists of numerous, minute, spirally elongated outer ventrolateral, and larger, less numerous inner ventrolateral tubercles. At a diameter of about 20 mm in the small figured specimen, the prominent umbilical tubercles are already visible, but the lateral ribbing is poorly developed.
In our material, extreme forms in ornament, size and whorl section in the later part of the phragmocone can be distinguished, but these features overlap to such an extent that they have to be considered as part of the intraspecific variation.
Specimens with fine, dense ribbing include PCZ22140 (Fig. 4F) and PCZ7719 (Fig. 4A-C), and those with extremely coarse ribbing, e.g. PCZ20172 (Fig. 3D,G), PCZ7711 (Fig. 3C,H) andPCZ18308 (Fig. 6A-B). Specimens with compressed whorl sections include PCZ22141 (Fig. 2A-C), PCZ22143 (Fig. 3E-F) while PCZ22145 (Fig. 5A-C) has an extremely wide whorl section. Specimens like PCZ22137 (Fig. 1A-E) are intermediate with a more rounded whorl section. Small specimens with distinct body chamber modifications such as PCZ7719 (Fig. 4A-C) maybe regarded as microconchs, and large specimens, e.g. PCZ6586 (Fig. 6C-D) macroconchs, but specimens with dimensions which fall between these, though apparentlynear-adult, e.g. PCZ22141 (Fig. 2A-C), PCZ22140 (Fig. 4F) and PCZ18308 (Fig. 6A-B) cannot unequivocably be designated as either macro- or microconchs As to be discussed below, we suspect that there may be a correlation between absolute size and whorl section; those specimens with compressed whorl sections becoming adult at smaller diameters than those with wider, more inflated whorl sections.
Despite the abundance of specimens available, complete apertures in the genus (and in the family Placenticeratidae) are a rarity. A complete body chamber and aperture were recorded in H. (H.)preyi (Kennedy & Summesberger 1999, p. 25, pl. 3, figs 1, 4) and another possibly in Hoplito-placenticeras (Lemfoerdiceras) lemfoerdense from Poland by Machalski et al. (2004, p. 458, pl. 5, fig. 2). Numerous specimens of Hoplitoplacenticeras from Germany described by Kaplan et al. (1996) appear to have parts ofthe aperture preserved in which the shape of the aperture seems to follow that of the growth lines on the body chamber. PCZ22137 (Fig. 1A-E) appears to have lateral sinuses and a ventral rostrum. The former, however, are asymmetric on either side, and truncate, rather than follow the general direction of the lateral ornament (Fig. 1A,B); the latter (Fig. 1E) also appears to truncate the ventral ribbing. Because of this, we have to interpret the apparent lateral sinuses and ventral rostrum in PCZ22137 (Fig. 1A-E) as probably due to biological (arthropod?) or mechanical damage to the bodychamber rather than as indications of a complete aperture.
In discussions on the family Placenticeratidae, and specifically the genus Hoplitoplacenticeras several references have been made to dimorphism. The earliest reference to the presence of possible dimorphism in the genus was already made by Paulcke (1907 p. 52[218] in his discussion of H. (H.) plasticus. He suggested that the crassus-types, i.e. the inflated forms were females (macroconchs) and the compressed laevis-forms, male (i.e. microconchs). Subsequent references to dimorphism made mainly on differences in size (in Hoplitoplacenticeras) are found in e.g. Kennedy & Wright (1983, p. 868); Kennedy 1986, p. 63); Klinger & Kennedy (1989); Cobban & Kennedy (1993, p. 73); Kaplan et al. 1996) and Kaplan et al. (2005)
We suggest that compressed forms mature at smaller diameters than forms with quadrate whorl sections, and are consequently tentatively referred to as micro- and macro-conchs respectively.

Doubtful contenders that have been referred to the genus include:
(?) Scaphites kambysis Zittel in: Quaas, 1902 Hoplitoplacenticeras awadi Hassan,1971.
According to Kennedy (1986, pp. 68-70) these latter two are possibly scaphitine homoeomorphs of Hoplitoplacenticeras, and may, for the present, be disregarded in the discussion. Also, H. lemfoerdense and H. lafresnayanum (the latter from the Maastrichtian), differ from other Hoplitoplacenticeras by the presence of an additional set of ventral tubercles, and are referred to the subgenus H. (Lemfoerdiceras) Kennedy, 1986.
Because of the extreme variation, not only in our material, but in the subgenus Hoplitoplacenticeras in general, it is difficult to give precise differences between all these species that have been referred to the subgenus.
Our first record of Hoplitoplacenticeras from subsurface exposures at Somtseu Road, Durban, was identified as H. plasticum plasticum (Kennedy & Klinger 1973, p. 102).
When we first discovered specimens of H. (Hoplito-placenticeras) at locality 110 on the Nibela Peninsula, H. (H.) howarthi Collignon (1970, 80, pl. 639, fig. 2351) from the Upper Campanian of Madagascar appeared to be the closest match, and the present material seems to confirm this, especially as far as the whorl section and prominent umbilical tubercles are concerned. The affinities ofthe other species of Hoplitoplacenticeras described by Collignon from only two Upper Campanian localities are more difficult to resolve. Collignon described specimens from the Hoplito-placenticeras marroti Zone at Gisement 240 'de la 2° Butte-témoin de la piste Trangahy-Antokazo (Antsalova)' as H. marroti Coquand (= H. vari Schlüter) (Collignon 1970, p. 75, pl. 638, figs 2342-3) (Fig. 7A-B, C-D); H. sp. aff. plasticum-crassum Paulcke (Collignon 1970, p. 75, pl. 638, fig. 2344) (Fig. 7E-F); H. cf. dolbergense Schlüter (Collignon 1970, p 75, pl. 638, fig. 2345) (Fig. 7G-H); H. cf. costulosum Schlüter (Collignon 1970, p. 76, pl. 638, fig. 2346) (Fig. 7I-K); H. trangahyense Collignon (1970, p. 76, pl. 638, fig. 2347) (Fig. 8A-C); H. antokazoense Collignon (1970, p. 76, pl. 638, fig. 2348) (Fig. 8D-F) and H. besairiei Collignon (1970, p. 77, pl. 638, figs 2349-50) (Fig. 7L-N, 9H-I) and from the same zone, at gisement 227-2 Mokotibe (Antsalova) H. howarthi (Collignon 1970, p. 80, pl. 639, fig. 2351) (Fig. 8G-I); H. sp. aff. plasticum-crassum Paulcke (Collignon 1970, p. 80, pl. 639, fig. 2352) (Fig. 9C-D); H. sp. aff. marroti Coquand (Collignon 1970, p. 80, pl. 639, fig. 2353) (Fig. 9E-G) and H. antokazoense Collignon (1970, p. 80, pl. 639, fig. 2354) (Fig. 9A-B).
We suspect that all these 'species' fall within the variation of H. (H.) howarthi (see Klinger & Kennedy 1989, p. 360). H. marrotti, H. cf. costulosum and H. besairiei of Collignon can be compared with the KwaZulu specimens with a compressed whorl section; H. cf. dolbergense, H. trangahyense and H. antokazoense of Collignon correspond to the specimens with a quadrate whorl section, whereas the remaining Madagascan 'species' can be referred to those specimens with 'intermediate', slightly rounded whorl sections. As first revising authors, we choose the name H. (H.) howarthi Collignon for this variable Afro-Malagassy species.
Basse (1931, p. 35, pl. 5, figs 1-3; pl. 12, fig. 2; pl. 13, fig. 1) had previously described Hoplites Vari Schlüter from '8 km. au Nord de Trangahy, sur la route d'Antsalova, dans les calcaires subcrayeux du Niveau 10' . These specimens have the same general ornament as compressed varieties of H. (H.) howarthi, and undoubtedly belong to this species. The other species described by Basse (1931, p. 36, pl. 4, figs 5-6; pl. 13, fig. 3 as Hoplites (Hoplitoplacenticeras) plasticus from 'Entre Mokotibe et la forêt située á l'Ouest de ce village Niveau 10', was referred by Collignon (1970, p. 76, pl. 638, fig. 2346) to Hoplitoplacenticeras cf. costulosum Schlüter. This is a very compressed form with hardly any lateral ornament, and probably is only an extremely compressed and smooth variety of H. (H.) howarthi.
As far as the strong ornamentation is concerned, H. (H.) howarthi bears some similarityto H. (H.) plasticus (Paulcke, 1907) and its 'varieties' (Untergruppen) Hauthali, crassus, costatus, semicostatus and laevis (see Paulcke 1907, p. 20[186]-54[220]. Pls 10(1) -15(6), figs 1-3; Riccardi 1988, pl. 16, figs 4-6 and herein Fig. 10A-G). Paulcke (1907) listed 48 specimens which he referred to five morphological groups ('Untergruppen'), Hauthali, crassus, costatus, semicostatus and laevis, based more or less on decreasing whorl breadth and strength of ornamentation, though realizing he was probably dealing with a single, variable species. Despite the extreme variation in that species, the umbilical tubercles are never as spinose as in H. (H.) howarthi, but are elongated obliquely radial, and the umbilical wall slants outwards rather than being vertical as in the latter. (see Fig. 10A-G) Also, none of our specimens has as rounded and inflated a whorl section as the 'Hauthali' variety (Fig. 10D-E) of the latter species. Thus as here interpreted, none of the Madagascan specimens referred in open nomenclature to H. plasticus by Collignon belong to that species.
Of the predominantly European species, only H. ( H. ) dolbergense (Schlüter, 1876) (1876, p. 159, pl. 44, figs 1-4), comprehensively revised by Kaplan et al. (1996, p. 39, pl 25, figs 3-4; pl. 26, fig. 5; pl. 27, figs 3-4; pl. 28, figs 1-5; pl. 29, figs 1-4; pl. 30, figs 1-5; pl. 31, figs 1-9; pl. 32, figs 4-5) and mentioned subsequently (Kaplan et al. 2005, p. 100) (see also Figs 11G-K, 13A-B) is close to H. (H.) howarthi as far as strength of ornament is concerned. It lacks the strong umbilical tubercles of H. (H.) howarthi, and tends to form looped ribbing on the flanks; a feature not present in the latter. Only the holotype (by monotypy) of H. (H.) trangahyense (Fig. 8A-C) has weakly looped ribbing, similar to that of H. (H.) dolbergense, as noted by Collignon (1970, p. 76) and Kennedy (1986, p. 66) and may either be regarded as an atypical variant of H. (H.) howarthi, or as belonging to a different species; on the basis of a single specimen we cannot be more definite. The specimen referred to H. cf. dolbergense by Collignon (1970, p. 75, pl. 638, fig. 2345) (here Fig. 7G,H) lacks the looped ribbing of typical H. (H.) dolbergense and may best be regarded as an inflated form of H. (H.) howarthi with a rounded whorl section.
All the other European species revised by Mikhailov (1951), Kennedy (1986), Kaplan et al. (1996, 2005, 2006), Kennedy & Kaplan (1997), e.g. H. (H.) vari (Schlüter, 1876), (here Figs 12, 14A), H. (H.) costulosum (Schlüter, 1867) (here Figs 11B-F; 14B-E) and H. (H.) coesfeldiense (Schlüter, 1867) (here Figs 11A, 13C-F) have much finer and denser ribbing than H. (H.) howarthi and lack the prominent umbilical tubercles.
Ornament on the body chamber of the macroconch of H. (H.) howarthi (Fig. 6C-D) from KwaZulu superficially resembles that of H. (H.) coesfeldiense, but ornament on the inner, phragmocone whorls is totally different.
The specimen referred to H. cf. costulosum by Collignon (1970, p. 76, pl. 638, fig. 2345) (here Fig. 7I-K) has the strong umbilical tubercles typical of H. (H.) howarthi; it is here merely regarded as a compressed and weakly ornamented form of the latter species.
H. (H.) marroti (Coquand, 1859) (see Kennedy 1986, p. 70, pl. 2, figs 3-4; pl. 9, figs 1-8, 11-12; pl. 10, figs 1-12; pl. 12, figs 1-2) (here Fig. 15) has similar, though apparently denser lateral ornament than H. (H.) howarthi and differences between the two species are difficult to formulate. None of the known specimens of H. (H.) marroti are known to have as coarse ornament as some H. (H.) howarthi, (e.g. Figs 3D,G; 6A-B), or to grow to such large size, but some of the Madagascan specimens, e.g. Collignon's (1970, p. 75, pl. 638, fig. 2342) (here Fig. 7A-B) or H. (H.) besairiei (Collignon 1970, p. 77, pl. 638, fig. 2349) (lectotype here designated; Fig. 7L-N) are impossible to distinguish from the French specimens ofH. (H.) marroti figured by Kennedy (1986). It is possible that, given more material, H. (H.) howarthi may eventually be merely regarded as a larger, more coarsely ornamented, South African-Malagassy subspecies of H. (H.) marroti.
H. (H.) rejaudryi (de Grossouvre, 1894) (see Kennedy 1986, p. 78, pl. 7, figs 1-5; pl. 14, figs 6-7) is consistently much finer ribbed than H. (H.) howarthi.
H. (H.) preyi Kennedy & Summesberger (1999, p. 25, pl. 3, figs 1, 4) from the Late Campanian of the Gschliefgraben, Austria, is monotypical and crushed. It differs from H. (H.) howarthi in its finer ribbing and complete absence of conspicuous umbilical tubercles ofthe latter species. Differences with other species are summarized by Kennedy & Summesberger (1999, p. 25-26).
H. (H.) rarecostatum Khakimov (Khakimov in: Atabekian & Khakimov 1976, p. 88, pl. 10, fig. 5) is difficult to interpret. The figured holotype is similar to inflated variants ofH. (H.) howarthi and has similar strong ornamentation; given more material more precise differences may be determined.
H. (H.) minor Cobban & Kennedy (1993, p. 73, figs 4.14.28) from the Middle Campanian Wolfe City Sand in northeastern Texas lacks the strong umbilical tubercles of H. (H.) howarthi and has very dense, thread-like ribbing on the body chamber.
H. (H.) monju Matsumoto, 1982 (1982, p. 244, figs 1-2; 1984, p. 24, pl. 7, fig. 5; pl. 8, fig. 6) was compared by Matsumoto (1984, p. 25) to H. (H.) trangahyense Collignon; we regard the latter as a synonym ofH.(H.) howarthi. They overlap in some morphological features, but H. (H.) monju lacks the strong umbilical tuberculation of typical H. (H.) howarthi, as does H. (H.) fugen Matsumoto (1984, p. 25, pl. 8, fig. 5) H. cf. marroti (Coquand) described from Angola by Howarth (1965, p. 391, pl. 12, fig. 3; pl. 13, fig. 3) has lateral ornament very similar if not identical to that of H. (H.) howarthi.
Financial assistance to Klinger from the National Research Foundation, South Africa, and logistical support by W.E. Grulke is gratefully acknowledged, as is the assistance of staff of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority (formerly the Greater St Lucia Wetlands Park Authorities) with access and transport on the St Lucia-False Bay lakes region of KwaZulu-Natal. Schlüter's type material was examined by Klinger in Bonn, Göttingen and Tubingen during the tenure of an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation scholarship in 1980. Kennedy thanks the staff of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History and the Department ofEarth Sciences, Oxford for logistical support. We thank M.B. Aguirre Urreta (Buenos Aires) for the casts of Hoplitoplacenticeras (H.) plasticum deposited in the collections of the South African Museum.

The body is capable of regulating hunger in several ways. Some of these hunger regulation methods are innate, such as genetics, and some, such as the responses to stress and to the smell of food, are innate but can be affected by body conditions such as BMI and physical activity. Further, some hunger regulation methods stem from learned behaviors originating from cultural pressures or parenting styles. These latter regulation methods for hunger can be grouped into the categories: emotion, environment, and physical. The factors that regulate hunger can also influence the incidence of disordered eating, such as eating in the …

How is this my creation? Lookey here:Balls_of_Titanium_1 wrote:No. That is your own creation.winston wrote:Is it not simply the case that when a non-Muslim refuses to accept the invitation of Islam, or the position of a Dhimmi under Islamic law, then they are viewed as people who are 'fighting' Muslims on the basis of Islam?Balls_of_Titanium_1 wrote: Muslims must be just and kind to Kufar who do not fight against them on the basis of Islam.
This is the general teaching of Islam.
The condition as to when a non-Muslim should be seen as fighting Muslims is stated in the Qur'an in the same verse. Those non-Muslims who fight Muslims for their religion and drive Muslims from their homes - both are forms of physical aggression.
9.29 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
The conditions for establishing ones enemy are laid out in this verse and they are 'those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger i.e Shariah, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth i.e Islam.
I did check it out again and no you didn't refute anything. Skynightblaze quoted your scripture which said that Muslims must not seek peace when they have the upper hand in a conflict. Here's a refresher:Balls_of_Titanium_1 wrote:I have refuted skynightblaze's argument. Go check it out again. And no, you made them up.winston wrote:
Islam is about political dominance and anyone who opposes the Shariah is a legitimate target of warfare, especially (as skynightblaze has already noted) when Muslims have the upper hand (through numbers or resources).
"If Muslims are weak, a truce (note that this is only a truce and never a peace treaty, the fighting will resume when the Muslims have gathered their strength) may be made for ten years if necessary, for the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) made a truce with the Quraysh for that long, as is related by Abu Dawud" ('Umdat al-Salik, o9.16).
And let us not forget the value of a truce in Islamic thinking:
Qur'an 8:58-59 "If you apprehend treachery from any group on the part of a people (with whom you have a treaty), retaliate by breaking off (relations) with them. The infidels should not think they can bypass (Islamic law or the punishment of Allah). Surely they cannot escape. The infidels should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them."
"So do not be fainthearted and call for peace, when it is you who are the uppermost" (47:35)
I didn't make that up.
Rubbish, the 'pact' of Dhima has every bit of relevance to this topic and you're right it does arise due to specific circumstances which are outlined above in verse 9.29 i.e. When a non-Muslim refuses to accept Islam but they do not want to fight for whatever reason then they may escape murder by paying the jizya and 'feeling themselves subdued'.Balls_of_Titanium_1 wrote:The pact of Dhima arises due to a specific circumstance. It is another subject.winston wrote:When you say that Muslims must be just and kind to Kufar who do not fight Muslims, you mean that Muslims must behave according to the rules of Dhimmitude which Muslims view as kindness and justice but which the Kufar most certainly do not.Balls_of_Titanium_1 wrote:
As for "kind" and "just" the words simply mean what they are supposed to mean. Your forcing your interpretation onto them is unacceptable.
In addtion I'm not 'forcing my interpretation' onto anything. One mans kindness is another mans cruelty, don't deny it. If I were to live under Shariah law as a Dhimmi my Muslim masters would think themselves very kind and just that they don't cut my head off even if they feel entitled to. I however would not feel that my appalling living conditions were a product of any kindness or justice but rather Islamic supremacism and barbarity alone.
You betray your own intelligence here BOT1: "time when a prophet is on earth is different to the time when there is no prophet on earth." Special circumstances? You mean when a main claims to be a prophet and sets about committing every type of crime in the book from rape to piracy this person should be excused due to special circumstances? I don't make exceptions for Mohammed or anyone else for that matter. If Mohammed claimed to be a prophet then he should be judged to against a very high standard of behaviour, not be given leeway to do whatever he felt like. This is the standard operating procedure for a cult.Balls_of_Titanium_1 wrote:Nonsense. First of all, the time when a prophet is on earth is different to the time when there is no prophet on earth. The former is special circumstances, while the later are ordinary. What may be allowed in special circumstances may not be allowed in ordinary circumstances.winston wrote:Mohammed himself instigated physical hostilities against all of his non-Muslim neighbours, Jews, Christians and Pagans on the very basis that they rejected Islam and Dhimmitude to boot.Balls_of_Titanium_1 wrote:
Secondly, we know from history that it was the non-Muslims of Arabia who started hostilities against Muslims and not the other way round. If you are ignorant of facts, then ask questions rather than making false statements.
Did the non-Muslims start hostilities? Maybe it is you who be asking questions instead of making false statements:
VII:18/Ishaq:287 "The Messenger sent Abd Allah out with a detachment of eight men of the Emigrants without any Ansari, or Helpers, among them. He wrote a letter, but ordered him not to look at it until he had traveled for two days. Then he was to carry out what he was commanded to do. When Abd Allah opened the letter it said, 'March until you reach Nakhlah, between Mecca and Ta'if. Lie in wait (in order to kill them) for the Quraysh there, and find out for us what they are doing. Having read the letter, Abd Allah said, 'To hear is to obey.' He told his companions, 'The Prophet has commanded me to go to Nakhlah and lie in wait for the Quraysh.
The fighting was organised and carried out by the Muslims under Mohammeds orders. The Quraysh were going about their business.
Ishaq:287 "The Muslim raiders consulted one another concerning them, this being the last day of Rajab. One of the Muslims said, 'By Allah, if we leave these people alone tonight, they will get into the Haram (the sacred territory of Mecca) and they will be safely out of our reach. If we kill them we will have killed in the sacred month.
Tabari VII:19 "They hesitated and were afraid to advance on them, but then they plucked up courage and agreed to kill as many as they could and to seize what they had with them.
The first Muslims conducted a terrorist raid with the sole intention of looting and killing under the orders of Mohammed.
Tabari VII:29 "This incident had provoked a state of war between the Prophet and the Quraysh and was the beginning of the fighting in which they inflicted casualties upon one another."
So before this Islamic raid there was no fighting, no Muslims had been killed or hurt by the Pagans.

Sony's recent announcement of the PlayStation 4 left fans feeling conflicted — some of the announcements, like the next-gen console's modern x86-based CPU and graphics, were great to see. Not actually seeing the console was less exciting.
One aspect that was left largely unmentioned was the PS4's tie-in with Sony's also-next-gen $25K Ultra HD BRAVIA TV.
NB: In this article, we'll use the terms 'Ultra HD' and '4K' interchangeably. We note that the CEA has codified 'Ultra HD' as the correct term for the resolution we're talking about, but Sony is being particularly stubborn in using the term '4K Ultra HD' to refer to its various above-1080p display devices. So, we'll compromise.
According to Polygon, the PS4 won't be able to play games at a native 4K resolution — we expect the hardware it runs on just isn't powerful enough, and the screens themselves are going to be rare for the next few years. It will be able to play 4K video, though, as well as high-resolution photos.
This fits in conveniently with Sony's aspirations for its 4K Ultra HD BRAVIA and 4K projector. We already know that Sony is going to be throwing in 10 4K movies with every Ultra HD TV it sells, with a proprietary hard drive-based Ultra HD video player — in the US, at least. Sony's also onboard with its "world's first" Ultra HD video delivery service for the BRAVIA and the PS4.
There's a big problem for Australian hi-def video buffs here, though.
Locally, LG is keeping quiet on any in-house 4K video services for its $16K Ultra HD TV, and Samsung, the other soon-to-be-big Ultra HD player, hasn't said anything about how potential buyers might watch 4K movies on their new TVs either. Both these Korean companies are huge, but they're hardware companies without any real stake in content. When we hear about Ultra HD TVs from Panasonic, Sharp, or Toshiba, we bet they'll be quiet on Ultra HD movies too.
Sony, however, is unique — it has the help of its Sony Pictures film production arm. A huge film company and the world's best better-than-Full HD video cameras is a recipe for some of the most visually stunning movies available; the company definitely has the video content on hand, as well as some capable playback hardware.
We look to Sony to see the future of Ultra HD.
The problem is this — the PlayStation 4's Blu-ray drive will only officially support 1080p Full HD video playback when it launches, just like any other Blu-ray player you can buy today. Sony has some 'Mastered in 4K' Blu-rays coming out, but they're not actually 4K, rather just especially-high-quality Full HD.
The Blu-ray Disc Association, the peak body responsible for setting standards for the format, is only four months into the process of considering the feasibility of 4K content on Blu-ray discs — so although it's technically feasible, we won't be seeing Ultra HD Blu-rays any time soon.
As physical standards go, we're confident that no game-changing, market-disrupting successor to Blu-ray will be out in at least the next few years. The PlayStation 3's Blu-ray drive was largely responsible for driving initial uptake of the new video format, and the confirmation of regular ol' Blu-ray in the PS4 sets the tone for the next half-decade. We're hearing whispers that Microsoft is on board with Blu-ray as well in the next Xbox.
Ultra HD — without Blu-ray?
That puts physical discs for 4K movies out of the question. The only avenue left for ultra-high-def movies anywhere then is in digital delivery via the Internet. Sony Electronics USA president Phil Molyneux has gone so far as to say that "the whole world is moving more and more to download" when talking about any possibility of Ultra HD Blu-rays.
The big problem that Australians have with that is this: 100GB movie downloads. To get proper movie-disc-quality Ultra HD video, there isn't too much wiggle room on this number — you quickly start losing video quality to compression artifacts and there's no point to Ultra HD at all. One possible solution is HEVC, but it's not a sure thing just yet, with hardware support unlikely 'til 2014.
If you're living in Kansas and have relatively cheap Google Fiber, a 100GB download to get a couple of hours of Ultra HD feature film into your living room isn't a big deal — a 13-minute wait for an entire movie, by our rather optimistic calculations (102400MB at 125MB/sec on Gigabit Google Fiber). Unlimited download quotas, too.
If you're living almost anywhere in Australia, a 100GB 4K movie download just isn't feasible. Again, calculating optimistically, Australia's best ADSL2+ connection will take 9 and a half hours to get that two hours of 4K video. Even at a quarter of the size and time, a 25GB 1080p movie download — that's full Full HD Blu-ray quality, no compression — still isn't feasible for most households.
We say almost because the allure of NBN Co's 100Mb/s fibre-to-the-premises connections, currently slowly rolling out around the country, gives us the slightest glimmer of hope.
But even after you've got the fast connection, you've still got Australia's traditionally stingy download quotas to deal with, whether you're on ADSL2+ or the NBN. Buy an NBN plan from iinet — the fastest 100Mb/s speed, the largest 1000GB combined on/off-peak quota — and you're up for a full $100 per month to download the same ten movies that Sony throws in with an Ultra HD TV for free in the US, and nothing else.
So while the technical appeal of Ultra HD TVs is certainly there — they do look stunning — there's simply no way that Australia will be seeing many accompanying Ultra HD movies any time soon, whether it's via the Internet or through Blu-rays in your local JB Hi-Fi.
All you can do for now is buy yourself a copy of TimeScapes and stick it on repeat.

Dear Annie: I had to respond to "Frustrated with Noise," who had a problem with children crying in church. Obviously, this person doesn't have children. How are these kids supposed to learn how to behave in church if their parents do not have them participate in the services? Yes, loudly screaming children should be removed until they can calm down, but otherwise the children should remain.
Dear Annie: I had to respond to "Frustrated with Noise," who had a problem with children crying in church. Obviously, this person doesn't have children. How are these kids supposed to learn how to behave in church if their parents do not have them participate in the services? Yes, loudly screaming children should be removed until they can calm down, but otherwise the children should remain.
As a young mother, I attended church alone with my two young sons. Once, the baby started crying, and I did not want to leave my 4-year-old in the pew, and he was unwilling to leave with me. When I later apologized to the wonderful Franciscan friar who was the officiate that day, he simply stated, "No worries. He was just singing his praises to God." We should all take this attitude toward our youngest church members.
— Experienced Church Mom
Dear Mom: Our mail was divided evenly on this one. Read on:
From Florida: I am a children's pastor with many years of experience. Every church I have served in has had a fully staffed nursery with loving, trained volunteers and a well-equipped and exceptionally clean environment. But when we suggest parents take advantage of these services, some of them act as if we are trying to sell their children. It is the responsibility of the parents to realize that not everyone is overjoyed listening to their child cry, scream or otherwise disrupt the service. We are pleased to help, but we can't care for children if parents won't bring them to us!
Fargo, N.D.: As a pastor, I am keenly interested in knowing how people feel about having children in worship services. It is very important for people of all ages to be welcome during every worship service in the church. Any congregation or parishioner who feels otherwise needs to take a good look at the Bible. Did children listen silently when Jesus was speaking? Of course not. But does Jesus create a separate room for the children? Does he tell the parents to get control or get out? No. In fact, Jesus says, "Let the little children come to me!" Church is not a social club for adults. Church is a place where people of all ages are to be welcomed and loved unconditionally.
Texas: I liked your response, but here's the problem. Most churches are so desperate to get bodies in the door, they won't attempt to instruct parents in how to behave. These parents, like the children they coddle, won't see themselves in this letter. They'll say, "It's just a little crying spell, and she'll get over it in a minute." But if it happens week after week, it means the child is exerting control. Instead of raising children, these parents are raising their own little center of the universe, teaching them that if they scream enough they'll get what they want. We have self-centered parents raising another generation of kids even more self-centered.
Boston: My father was a minister. It was most troubling to him, too, dealing with this touchy subject. One Sunday morning while preaching, a child started crying. The mother got up to leave, and my father stopped speaking. A loud snore broke the silence. My father said, "I can preach over a crying baby, but not over the snoring of adults." There was applause as the mother sat back down. What happens when babies cry on airplanes? There's no place to send them, so please be understanding.
Huntington, Vt.: Be grateful that a young family is coming to your church. "Make a joyful noise." In Vermont (and probably elsewhere), we are lucky if anyone comes to church. Church is dying here. I'll take the child's loud noise, crying and screaming any day. Every town needs a church.

Do exchange-traded funds (ETFs) turn long-term investors into speculative day traders, as some critics claim? Not according to a new Vanguard research paper, "ETFs: For the better or bettor?," which found that most Vanguard investors exhibit buy-and-hold behavior whether investing in a traditional index fund or ETF.
According to the company, which manages $209 billion of ETF assets and is the third largest ETF provider, "critics' presumptions about ETF trading are typically based on macro-level share turnover data that is dominated by large institutional investors at the fund level—not built on data at the individual investor level."
Using a unique data set of transactions conducted by individual investors, Vanguard researchers analyzed 3.2 million transactions in 500,000 positions held in traditional mutual fund and ETF share classes of four different Vanguard index funds from 2007 through 2011.
"Our individual investor data show that the majority of both traditional mutual fund and ETF investments are held in a prudent, buy-and-hold manner," Joel Dickson, one of the study's authors and a principal in Vanguard's Investment Strategy Group, said in a statement. "While differences exist between the characteristics of people who buy each investment type, our analysis shows that claims of speculative trading behavior among ETF investors are greatly exaggerated."
While Vanguard observed somewhat higher relative trading activity among ETF investments compared with their mutual fund counterparts, some of the difference is a reflection of different investors and characteristics associated with the two investments.
For example, the study found that relative to investors in traditional mutual funds, investors who purchase an ETF are more likely to be male, to be older than 60 or to check their investment balances at least daily. Analysis of trading behavior found that people in these three groups tend to trade more often, regardless of which investment vehicle they choose. The authors demonstrated that roughly 40% of the trading activity differences between ETFs and funds are explained by investor and account characteristics.
Vanguard concluded from the study that, contrary to what critics claim, the ETF "temptation effect"—the supposed tendency of investors to trade more after they choose the investment vehicle, because of the availability of intraday trading—is not a likely source of observed high trading volume activity among ETFs.

Is there a way to select (or paste) text without trailing/ending whitespace?
eg. To copy the whole line I press
y, to paste it somewhere else I use
but it pastes the whole text with the trailing EOL character too.
The same case using Windows standard:
home, shift+end, ctrl+c, ctrl+v
(allows me to paste the selected text inline)
I'd like to have similar behavior in vim.
I'd like to avoid any macros, as I'm using PHPStorm plugin emulating vim, so not all sophistocated command are working there.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
Coming up Friday evening at 9, Piers Morgan vacates his own New York studio, as CNN colleague S.E. Cupp cozies up to his desk, and gets comfortable in his chair, taking a turn as the program's guest host.
Normally accustomed to the early evening hours, tomorrow will see Cupp perform in primetime, as she welcomes Glenn Beck for an hour-long, face to face interview.
Colleagues at TheBlaze TV, Beck and Cupp spend much of their time talking politics, and the conversation quickly jumps ahead to 2016 and the next general election.
"Let me ask you about the real world. Chris Christie is the real world," begins Cupp, referencing a man many assume will make a run for Washington and the nation's highest office.
Beck, suffice it to say, will not be backing the Garden State governor:
"No, Chris Christie is a fat nightmare," blurts Beck. "He is a nightmare."
Even as Cupp lists Christie's strengths, including the fact that he currently leads Democratic favorite Hillary Clinton in the Quinnipiac national poll, Beck maintains his position:
"Don't care ... don't care ... don't care," Beck exclaims, before categorizing Christie in a way that contradicts his own political positions. "He's not a conservative. He's a progressive ... have you ever looked into his, uh, nightmare of global warming?"
In addition to environmental issues, the conservative television and radio host also has concerns with Christie's stance on guns, and assumes his interviewer – and fellow Republican – agrees:
"You should be well aware of where he stands on guns," he says. "Are you comfortable with that?"
Cupp admits to agreeing with her guest:
"I'm not, no."
So, if Christie isn't Beck's pick to lead his party, who then would he like to see representing the red states in three years time?
"I don't know, because I don't trust any of them," he says, before Cupp moves to the Republican's rising star:
"You like Ted Cruz a lot," she asks.
Beck, in fact, does like the junior senator from Texas:
"I like Ted Cruz a lot."
However, viewed as a long shot, and a man unlikely to ride his government shutdown initiative all the way to Pennsylvania Avenue, will Cruz's underdog status force Beck to abandon ship in favor of a more viable candidate:
"Yes ... I'm not going to play the game of ... I'm not going to sell my principles out anymore."

No, Chris Christie...is a fat...nightmare," blurts Beck. "He is a nightmare." This is what our News is these days. Time to find somebody else to read. Good Night Glen. And may I add NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX. And any other that I may have forgot All of the news network anymore are a bunch of nincompoops.
And one shouldn't throw stones when one lives in a glass house.
Any fans of the blowhard Glenn Beck will hopefully abstain from voting in future elections. Time to weed out the wackos.
Ol Glenny Boy soooo christian my a$$. Those who follow the wolf in sheeps clothing – OPEN your EYES - this man is evil – pure evil.
being honest and expressing your opinion means you can't be a christian?
I dont know if he is a christian but I know he is an idiot 🙂
Ted Cruz was born in Canada, can he be president?
Obama was born on Mars and he's our Obamartian Prez so yeh Cruz can cruise on in to the presidency, sure.
Good for you Glen. Chrisiti is fat, he is a progressive and he is a nightmare to true conservatives. Which is why true conservatives don't want him. He is the same as a democrat under a different hat just like most old time Republicans.
What is a "true conservative"? Apparently one is only a "true conservative" if one is an extreme conservative.
A True Conservative Is Actually A Fascist
good dont run Christy for president, easier for democrat to be in the WH 🙂
Headline error" " 'CHRIST' Christie". I mean, I'm sure he's a decent enough fella and everything, but I'm pretty sure he's not Jesus.
As far as Beck's comments go, I completely agree with what Angela said, above.
Three minutes and I lunged for the remote....CNN please make it STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do you even watch CNN when watching it regularly proves you don't have a brain?
Shame on you pierce morgan and cnn now I see why your ratings are dropping
Piers wasn't even there you blithering idiot. Piers' crappy ratings have nothing to do with Glenn Beck and everything to do with the fact that Piers is an ex-phone hacking UK newspaper editor whose papers you wouldn't wipe your butt with.
Why the @#$% is CNN giving voice to the likes of Glenn Beck. I'm all for free speech but would like to see some opportunity for rebuttal to such obvious nonsense.
You've had your chance right here on this blog and all you did was vomit nonsense. Shame on you, Progressive commie slug.
If Glenn Beck is against him, I'm more inclined to vote for him.
Thanks a ton! It is definitely an very good online site!.

Next Episode of One Life to Live is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
Long-running daytime serial One Life to Live is set in the fictional community of Llanview, which is modeled on the Philadelphia Main Line. Victoria Lord Davidson, a character that has stood the test of time since the show's beginning, is still an integral and necessary part of the colorful and diverse canvas today.
One Life to Live is one of the most critically-acclaimed daytime serials on television today, applauded for its exploration of social issues, diverse canvas, talented performers, and groundbreaking, innovative storylines that test the characters and the way that we, the audience, feel and react to those situations. One Life to Live is responsible for many precedents in daytime television, one of the most notable being the week of live shows that was done in May 2002. One Life to Live's groundbreaking and emotional stories include gang violence, interracial romance, lupus, medical misdiagnosis, overcoming illiteracy, racial prejudice, and split personalities. The show gained mass acclaim when it introduced a storyline involving a gay teen, and the storyline finished with the highly emotional display of the Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. In 1994, One Life to Live won four Daytime Emmy awards for a deeply emotional and riveting fraternity gang rape storyline. The show won four more Daytime Emmy awards in 2000, and also recieved the first CDC Sentinel for Health Award due to the storyline of Viki's (Erika Slezak) breast cancer. The show recieved two Daytime Emmy awards in 2001, and won Outstanding Drama Series in 2002.
One Life to Live continues to flourish with historic and intriguing familes such as the Lords, Buchanans, Cramers, McBains, and Vegas. The series, even after all of these years, delivers rich, powerful, and emotional storylines that fans both new and old will forever remember.
One Life to Live was created by Agnes Nixon (also the creator of All My Children), and the show first aired on television on July 15th, 1968.
The show was canceled in January 2012.
Looks like something went completely wrong!

It wasn't necessarily intentional – it kind of crept up on me!
I do savor the color red here & there but I'm also so drawn to the classics of a creamy white & black. I certainly find myself being more selective the the color purchases I make – they have to FIT in – somehow.
Put it all together and this is what you get around here:

A new and completely different type of safety website is now open for business. Almost anyone can post information on SaferProducts.gov about a consumer product they believe might be dangerous or has already caused a safety problem. Not only will this database of consumer comments be public, it will also be searchable.
"Through this database consumers will have open access to product safety information that they've never seen before, and this information will empower them to make safer choices," said Inez Tenenbaum, chairman of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The idea is by making information about safety hazards easy to report and easy to access, needless injuries and deaths will be prevented.
However, manufacturers are very leery about SaferProducts.gov. They worry that erroneous or even malicious information will be posted that could hurt their businesses.
"We're not opposed to the database," says Rosario Palmieri of the National Association of Manufacturers. "We're just opposed to inaccurate information being in the database."
Safety advocates say the site is both long overdue and greatly needed because manufacturers are often reluctant to share information about product dangers. It can be months or even years between the time people report a problem product and a recall is announced.
"This information shouldn't be buried the way it has been in the past," said Ami Gadhia with Consumers Union (the publisher of Consumer Reports). "We think this is important information that can potentially help save lives and will empower consumers to make their own decisions."
SaferProducts.gov has been in a soft-launch phase since the beginning of the year. The National Association of Manufacturers petitioned the CPSC to delay the public launch, but the site went live last Friday.
"We will monitor this very closely to make sure the information on the database is accurate," CPSC chairman Tenenbaum assures me. "We believe that as time goes on, many of these concerns by manufacturers will be taken care of and the database will be an excellent source of information for manufacturers, consumers and the Consumer Product Safety Commission."
How does the site work? How will accuracy be maintained?
To submit a hazard report, you must provide the name of the manufacturer of the product you are concerned about or had a safety problem with. If something did happen, you'll be asked to describe the incident and how the product was being used.
If there were injuries or death, you'll need to give specific details. You can also provide, if you want, the name of any victim and indicate whether they received medical treatment. You can upload photos or any documents you want the CPSC or others to see.
Also, remember this website is only about safety. Complaints that are about the cost or quality of a product will not be posted.
Finally, before submitting the report, you must certify that the report is true and correct. In the FAQ section, the CPSC says it will remove false reports and "will seek legal remedies against those involved."
The CPSC has five business days to provide the report to the manufacturer. The company then has 10 business days to respond. (Because of this 15-day window, the first consumer posts won't show up on SaferProducts.gov until the first week in April.)
The CPSC says if a manufacturer can show a report is "materially inaccurate" — for instance the company does not make such a product — the report will not be posted. Manufacturers say that's not what they've been told.
"What they've told us is they're going to post it first and fix it later and we don't think that will help the public," said Palmieri. "It's a recipe for lots of inaccurate information in the database."
Companies who respond within the 15-day window can post a response to any report involving them that will go public the same time the comment is published. Manufacturer's comments can also be published at a later date.
Anonymous reports will be accepted but not posted. Your contact information will never be included in your online report. And it won't be provided to the manufacturer unless you give your written permission.
This really bothers Richard Woldenberg, chairman of Learning Resources, an educational toy company based in Illinois.
"The opportunity for mischief is really significant," he said. "A competitor could make filings. Lawyers who sued you can make filings. People who have an axe to grind can make filings."
Woldenberg wants the ability to contact everyone who posts a comment about his product to find out more about the problem and to make sure the report is accurate.
"If the government wants to host a database then they should make damn sure that the information is right," Woldenberg added.
"It's really a very simple concept," said Rachel Weintraub with the Consumer Federation of America. "It's a database with many checks and balances and opportunities for comment by industry. I think this opposition is really just clinging to the status quo which has served manufacturers very well and has had a negative impact on consumers."
My two cents
I understand why manufacturers are concerned about this site. I would be, too.
The CPSC admits it does not have the resources to verify every report received. Language stating that the Commission does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or adequacy of the information will appear as a disclaimer throughout the database, and on any documents printed from the site.
But I also think the manufacturers brought this on themselves by fighting product recalls, telling the public products with known hazards were safe, and blaming "product misuse" for what were really design flaws.
SaferProducts.gov gives consumers much more power. But the ability to post comments — unfiltered and unverified — already exists on all sorts of websites. The government's site has built-in safeguards. The CPSC says it wants to get it right. They need to get it right for everyone's sake.

Netanyahu to Obama: No Current Plans for Gaza Ground War
Netanyahu: No Current Plans for Gaza Ground War
Despite his tough public posturing, the Israeli prime minister told Obama that he has no plans to launch a ground war in Gaza unless Hamas escalates its rocket attacks. Eli Lake reports.
Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, gave private assurances to Barack Obama on Friday evening that his country was not planning at that moment to launch a ground invasion of Gaza—but those plans would change, he said, if Hamas escalated its rocket war.
The private assurances were at odds with public signals from Israel's military. Tanks and artillery gathered at the border with Gaza on Saturday in preparation for what looked like an incursion. Israel Defense Forces spokeswoman Avital Leibovich told The Telegraph, "Morale is high. We are currently training and preparing for ground possibilities."
But this was not the message from the Israeli leader in his conversation with Obama, according to two U.S. officials briefed on the call. These sources say Netanyahu said Israel would not consider a full-scale ground invasion unless there was escalation from Hamas or a strike that caused significant casualties. There has not been, for example, a date set for such an invasion—nor are the other kinds of contingency plans Israel would need in such a circumstance in place, according to these U.S. officials, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the conversations.
One senior U.S. official told The Daily Beast, "The Israeli leadership at this point is leaning against a ground invasion. No one wants that. If Hamas ratchets up the pressure, however, they may elect to do so."

A Sandwich a Day: Best Pizza's Meatball Sub
A new sandwich every day.
In this great city of ours, you could eat a different sandwich every day—so that's what we do with A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York City. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
Rest of the Best
Best Pizza Walks the Walk »
Best's Surplus Oven Real Estate »
"Wow. That meatball sandwich from Best Pizza? That might be the best meatball sandwich I've ever had."
That endorsement, folks, is from no less than our man Ed Levine, after I brought him half the sub from a recent visit to the new Williamsburg pizzeria. Best started making sandwiches a couple weeks ago, and in addition to the meatball, it also offers a chicken Parm sub. Both are $8.
Both sandwiches have as their base a 7-inch-or-so length of bread baked at Roberta's in Bushwick. (The guys from Roberta's are backing partners at Best, along with Brooklyn Star's Joaquin Baca.)
"That bread is perfect for a meatball sandwich," Ed said. And it really is. Plenty flavorful, it's crisp-chewy on the outside with a tender crumb whose open hole structure licks up any tomato sauce that might otherwise spill out the sides. It's the same sauce used on Best's grandma pie, made with crushed tomatoes, garlic, and finely chopped anchovies, all reduced to a thick, savory sandwich-worthy condiment.
The meatballs themselves are a mixture of Pat La Frieda short rib, spices and herbs that Best would not specify, some pecorino Romano, and a little ricotta. And, get this: They're blasted in the wood-fired oven, giving them a slightly chewy sear with a little bit of charring, with the rendered fat poured back on after the meatballs are nestled in the bread.
It's all finished with a little flat-leaf parsley and shavings of aged Romano — all in perfect proportion. This is a meatball sandwich that won't end up on your shirt, which is good, because you're going to want every last bit of it in your stomach. Believe me, Ed's lucky this thing survived the subway ride from Williamsburg to Chelsea.*

REBUILDmakes things run slower. Is that just while the indexes are being rebuilt? (or forever after)
- How long will it take to rebuild all indexes / or rather each one?
- Are there any side effects or other info that I need to be aware of? This is production/live database.
EDIT: And finally, what is the best way to go about rebuilding it? Looping through all the objects with a percentage of greater than 30? Or?
Thank you!

Where have you been? - Mils Muliaina
HE'S just got in after a 10-hour flight from Tokyo and his wife and son are just behind him, stuck in customs.
Mils Muliaina parks his luggage trolley at arrivals, obliging a lengthening line of exuberant Japanese who want their photo taken with the fullback. Aside from a splint on a dislocated finger, the 32-year-old looks ready to take on the Boks.
What a player he's been. But you'd embarrass him if you were to genuflect, or talk about his place in the pantheon of great All Black fullbacks, especially if you reminded him that he played more tests - exactly 100 - than any of those legends, and never had a bad game (at least not one anyone can remember).
He lives in the moment. And for now, that's Osaka, Japan. Mils plays for NTT Docomo Red Hurricanes in the Top League. He's loving it, especially the food.
"Everyone thinks Japan is sushi, but it's everything. They basically take food from other countries and make it better. Apart from hangi food - I haven't seen any hangi food over there."
It's not all feasting, of course. Mils is there to play rugby and although the Red Hurricanes are performing poorly - they've lost their last 19 games - he's enjoying himself.
"Playing in Japan gives you the ability to do whatever you want, really. I'm playing in the centres, though I'm bigger than most of the props. Honestly, I'm not lying! The boys over there are like, 'Man, you're so big'.
"But while they're small, they never stop running. They're tenacious. And brave - they tackle really low."
Their attitude, he says, can't be faulted. "But it's kinda odd when they start talking about players you've played with - players they idolise.
"They've got the pictures on their phones. They're always watching YouTube. We'll be on the bus and they'll be watching the Tri-Nations on their tablets. Watching Dan's 'greatest hits'."
Mils laughs. Now he's joined by wife Hayley and 4-year-old son, Max, a probable selection in the All Blacks 2031 World Cup squad.
They're off to Invercargill, his old home-town - he still rolls his Rs - to see the Muliaina whanau, then returning to Auckland to see Hayley's family. Then it's back to Japan - and back to rugby.
"Life is good," he says, smiling. "Different. But good."

Bike Night set for Saturday
Expect another Bike Night for the ages when the motors roar in the downtown area for the bi-monthly event on Southeast 47th Terrace, between Coronado and Vincennes, from 5 to 10 p.m. on Saturday.
The event, presented by the Parks and Recreation Department, has another full night on tap with between 10,000 and 15,000 expected to jam pack the area for this free event filled with music, vendors and thousands of bikes.
Elyz Crouthamel, special event specialist, said to expect this to be another wildly successful night.
"The December one is usually one of the biggest because it's during season," Crouthamel said. "There will be sexy bull riding on the country stage and the Harley Davidson slow bike races, which people can compete for a $100 gift certificate for Harley Davidson."
Those events will happen between 7 and 8 p.m. and will happen after an appearance by the Nitro Bike, which will perform burnouts courtesy of DNM Motorsports.
Of course, there will be plenty of live music. Valhalla, a Led Zeppelin tribute band, will headline the event on the rock side, with local band The Fuzz opening, with two other bands expected on the country stage.
"We will also have 70 vendors featuring everything from bike groups to non-profits," Crouthamel said.
Bike Nights also will be held Feb. 8, and April 12 on the second Saturday of every other month. For more information, call 573-3123.

Germain Racing, Bodine Looking for Repeat Win in Texas with NTB, Service Central and Valvoline On Board the No. 30 Tundra
Bodine is the Reigning Truck Series Champion after earning his 2nd title in 2010
Bodine Owns 21 Truck Series wins with Germain Racing and 36 NASCAR career wins
He has six wins at Texas and is the defending race winner for the June, TMS, Truck Series event
Mooresville, N.C. (June 6, 2011) – If 2010 numbers can predict 2011 results, the competition could skip out on Friday's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event at Texas Motor Speedway. Todd Bodine just scored a strong third-place finish at Kansas Speedway, where he also finished third in 2010. There were a few events in between the two 1.5-mile races last season, but, the events were the longest races on the schedule and the trip to Texas produced a victory for the No. 30 Tundra with Valvoline on the quarter panels. When Bodine puts the No. 30 NTB/Service Central/Valvoline Tundra on track at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend, he and his crew will look for nothing less than another win from their efforts.
"We always feel like we can go win at Texas any time we race there," said Bodine, who admits that this time the team has to put in some extra effort to be in winning form at TMS. "Goodyear's coming back with a different tire, so the advantage we had with the old setup for our NTB/Service Central/Valvoline Tundra is one we'll have to work on with the tire change. We'll just have to work hard to get our Toyota to go as fast as it normally does, but I'm sure this Germain Racing team will have no problem doing just that."
Bodine says that returning to Texas with Valvoline branding on board certainly is part of a familiar scenario he and Germain Racing hope to duplicate.
"When we went to Texas last June, we had Valvoline on the quarter panels for the first time and we were able to take them to victory lane. We're hoping to give them, Service Central and NTB another winning experience with the 30 Tundra at Texas Motor Speedway," said Bodine.
Bodine is strapping into racing chassis GR-019 for Friday's Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway. The truck is new to the Germain Racing fleet; it raced first at Kansas Speedway. The No. 30 NTB/Service Central/Valvoline Tundra driver is currently ranked ninth in the championship standings.
Watch the No. 30 NTB/Service Central/Valvoline Tundra on Friday, June 10th, at Texas Motor Speedway on SPEED. Live race coverage begins with the NCWTS Setup at 8:30 PM Eastern with the start of racing at 9:00 PM. Not in front of a TV? Tune your radio to your local MRN affiliate.
