Control Weeds Naturally
Weeds are nasty, ugly, and invasive. They steal water and nutrients from the plants you love. If you pull them out, they grow right back. They hog the sun, and act like garden bullies. Even so, you can't bring yourself to spray them into oblivion. So, how do you naturally keep them out of your garden? Simple. With mulch.

How to Test Smoke Alarms in Your Home
A smoke alarm is an inexpensive way to protect your family from smoke and fire injuries, but you must take the time to test it to ensure that it's working properly. A properly functioning smoke detector doubles your chance of surviving a fire by warning you of a dangerous situation before it's too late.
For minimum coverage, have at least one smoke detector or alarm on every level of your home and in every sleeping area. You can also add alarms to hallways outside every bedroom, the top and bottom of all stairways, and often-forgotten places such as basements, attics, utility rooms, and garages.
There are two kinds of smoke detectors:
Battery-operated: These inexpensive units can easily be installed anywhere. They require frequent inspection to determine the condition of the battery.
AC-powered: Installed by an electrician (or those with a good working knowledge of electricity), these units are much more dependable over the long haul due to their direct-wired power source. But they should have an independent battery backup so that they continue to operate during a blackout or an electrical fire that temporarily interrupts power.
Some newer models have a hush-button feature that silences a nuisance false alarm and desensitizes the unit for a few minutes until the air clears, when it resets itself. Other high-end models have safety lights that come on when the alarm is activated.
All smoke detectors and alarms have a test button that, when pushed, causes the alarm to sound. Also, most detectors have either a blinking or a solid light that glows to let you know that the alarm is getting power.
Once a month, get up on a chair or use a broom handle for extra reach and push the test button. If you don't hear anything, then your battery is dead. If after changing the battery, the smoke detector is still not working, immediately replace it with a new one.
While battery-operated units have a built-in device that chirps when batteries get low, signaling the need for replacement, common wisdom dictates not waiting until that point. Batteries should be replaced twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall.
Never remove a battery from your smoke alarm for use in another item, such as a radio, toy, or TV remote. Many people do so with every intention of replacing them in short order, only to remember that they forgot while standing and watching their house burn down (if they were lucky enough to escape).
While you're up checking your battery every month, also brush or vacuum the alarm to keep dirt and dust out of the mechanism. Never use cleaning sprays or solvents that can enter the unit and contaminate sensors.
The button test ensures that the batteries are working. However, it doesn't tell you whether the detector is operating properly. To find out, put two or three lighted matches together (the wood kitchen type is best) and then blow out the flame, holding the matches so that the smoke wafts up toward the unit.
After a period of ten years, a smoke detector has endured more than 87,000 hours of continuous operation, during which time the internal sensors have probably become contaminated with dust, dirt, and air pollutant residues. If your alarm or detector is more than ten years old, consider replacing it to maintain optimal detection capabilities of deadly smoke in your home.

For the first time in its more than 20 year history, all of Destiny USA's stores will open their doors at midnight on Black Friday. But that's not all. As our Sarah Blazonis tells us, it's all part of Destiny's push to expand its reach beyond New York and U.S. borders this holiday season.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- If you're one of those people who would rather lie on a bed of nails than go shopping this Black Friday, you're in luck. That's actually an option since Wonder Works will open its doors at midnight, along with all of Destiny USA's stores.
"Some individuals don't like shopping, male or female, but they enjoy great food," said Destiny USA team member David Aitken. "Wonder Works is for people of all ages."
Other attractions, like Pole Position Raceway and several restaurants will also be open for shoppers to enjoy. Mall officials say it's part of an effort to make Destiny stand out this holiday season and beyond.
"We're seeing this as a place where we put out the welcome mat, invite those from Syracuse and Central New York, but equally focus on bringing in people from outside the area to experience all we have to offer," said Aitken.
Destiny's post-rebranding marketing campaign has focused on reaching the 130 million people who live within a day's drive.
Georgia resident Deb Carey and her family are a bit outside that reach, but they're working the new attractions into their holiday plans.
"I have several brothers and sons that are coming in to do a competition in the go-karts. This part we didn't know about, but my daughter is challenging anybody to go up with her. So, yeah, may not shop, but definitely have fun," said Carey, who's in town visiting relatives.
In addition to the new offerings, shoppers are also going to find many empty storefronts and 'Coming Soon' signs. Mall officials say they're hoping people look at it as a reason to come back.
"Next week it's OptiGolf and I know a lot of your viewers are interested in Gordon Biersch, T.G.I. Friday's and P.F. Chang's, all of which are going to be open in December," said Aitken of businesses opening their doors soon.
Officials say attendance is already up since the rebranding, and they're hoping continued outreach to markets from Scranton, PA to Ottawa, Canada continues to pay off.
Wonder Works will also be open from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Thanksgiving Day. A spokesman for Destiny USA tells us they've seen attendance spike especially among Canadian visitors. Normally they make up about 15 percent of shoppers, but that number has recently jumped to 25 percent.

Jan 30, 2008

I'm worried that some users will confuse Transliteration with Inflector, and use the wrong filter. Perhaps the class name should be something along the lines of Zend_Filter_ReplaceI18nChars or something similar that lay-people will understand?

Jan 30, 2008

OK, I'll rename it. But later, I don't want to go through another class renaming dance <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" />

Jan 30, 2008

I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Transliteration is the exact description of what this filter will do, so in my opinion it should be called that.

Jan 30, 2008

OK, the name 'Transliteration' was suggested me by sb and 'cos I'm not native speaker, I wasn't sure. Now I have looked it up in the dictionary and I'm now sure it's good name.

Feb 06, 2008

"Transliteration" would imply that it is possible to transliterate into any charset and not just ASCII. But that´s out of its scope right?

So what about "Zend_Filter_Asciify", that should be clear <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" />

Feb 18, 2008

Just added cyrillic transliteration using transliteration table.

Please update from SVN.

Martin H.

Feb 19, 2008

Using this filter I would suggest that it is able to recode

ASCII to UTF-8

UTF-8 to ASCII

ASCII to UTF-8 is problematic...

And if I use your UTF-8 to ASCII recoding I would have problems with other chars than cyrillic.

IF you want to create a generic filter (what the name suggests) you should also suport ALL UTF-8 characters.

Until then it would be better to have it named like "Zend_Filter_CyrillicToAscii" and so on.

I am not sure if you are able to support all charsets... how would you recode chinese or japanese chars into ascii ?

I am even not sure if it's a good idea to have chars downgraded, because the meaning can change.

In german for example it's sometimes not the same if you use "ß" or "ss".

Thomas

I18N Team Leader

Feb 19, 2008

I originally wanted to create simple filter, which converts string (e.g. article title) to url (seo friendly).

I needed to convert special Czech chars such as ?š??žýáíé?ú into their equivalents.

It was originally Zend_Filter_SeoUrl and then <ac:link><ri:page ri:content-title="Zend_Filter_Sanitize - Martin Hujer" /></ac:link>.

Finally, I stripped out the transliteration part into this proposal. Somebody on Czech board suggested Cyrillic support, so it is.

I absolutely don't know how to solve this, because I think, that a component for seo url would be usefull, but creating the whole UTF-8 -> ASCII transliteration table is really hard.

Maybe I should split out the CyrillicToAscii part...

I somebody has an idea how to solve this, I'll be happy.

Please consider including transliteration table for your northern neighbours <ac:emoticon ac:name="wink" />

Added. Thanks <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" />

Jul 24, 2008

here are transliteration rules for Croatian. The same rules are used for Serbian (latin), and Slovenian (although Slovenian language doesn't have character '?' ('?')), and maybe for some other as well.

Some of the characters already exist in other alphabets.

Thanks. I have added it.

- Transliterate Croatian chars
Jul 28, 2008

There is an interesting post on http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2006/03/03/us-ascii-transliterations-of-unicode-text/ on the subject of transliteration.

My main reason for using this ZF component would be to make sure that titles of the articles are transliterated to URIs so I get valid, and readable URIs.

Did you have a look at the http://derickrethans.nl/translit.php library mentioned in the articles comments?

Jul 29, 2008

There is a recent (well, a few years recent <ac:emoticon ac:name="wink" />) library for transliteration called UTF8 To ASCII (utf8_to_ascii on Google). It's a simple concept which parses an incoming UTF-8 string, breaks it into UTF-8 characters in hex form, and grabs a sensible hand-picked transliteration from a set of static transliteration tables (just a bunch of PHP arrays). The translit tables are common data (I think Perl has the same set) and the remaining source code, while complex, isn't long. I think it's a really great approach to research and existing data will aid your collection.

I do think Thomas' suggestion is probably not a good one - you should focus only on UTF-8 to ASCII. The reverse is almost impossible unless the UTF-8 to ASCII follows a very specific algorithm (the most common being implemented for IDNs) otherise how could you even tokenise it sensibly? The point afterall is to create sensible, human readable, and agreeable ASCII alternatives for UTF-8 characters for presentation in a URI. If you pardon me for summarising... <ac:emoticon ac:name="wink" />

As for translit/iconv etc. - mixing extensions would lead to significant divergence. No two transliteration strategies are identical which is why I strongly prefer a native solution cross compatible anywhere without needing any specific optional extension unless it's really common.

<ac:macro ac:name="note"><ac:parameter ac:name="title">Zend Comments</ac:parameter><ac:rich-text-body>

It looks really useful to have such functionality in the ZF.

API is also clear.

The problem is implementation which doesn't cover all existing languages. That's not good to provide component which works with some inputs and doesn't work with others.

Covering full Unicode range:

needs complete transliteration info;

may cause performance problems;

On the other hand intl PECL extension is based on ICU library which has very comprehensive transliteration functionality.

Hope this functionality will be included into intl.

So proposal is moved to archived section while we don't have full or essential Unicode range covering and don't have pure PHP implementation performance info.

Or while we don't have intl extension with transliteration functionality included into PHP.

I just integrated CLDR 1.6.1 for the I18N core in ZF.

I saw that it includes character downgrading informations.

I will have to review it but maybe Zend_Locale is able to give the needed information soon.

About the Model 67Selmer Paris has a long history of creating the highest quality professional clarinets. The Low C Privilege features silver plated nickel silver keywork, silver plated brass bell, and stainless steel needle springs. It also features the C85 professional bass clarinet mouthpiece. The 67 is known for its rich sound and easy response, making it one of the most beloved bass clarinets on the market.
Key of Bb Range to Low C Silver plated nickel silver has more texture than nickel, which makes it easier to finger fast technique Grenadilla wood Silver plated brass bell Bore: Upper 23.5mm, lower 23.4 mm stainless steel needle springs High quality leather pads get a perfect seal, but are soft enough to prevent "slapping" key noise
In 1885 following graduation from the Conservatoire de Paris, Henri Selmer began making reeds, mouthpieces, and clarinets in Paris. In 1898, Henri's brother, Alexandre left for the US and began selling clarinets as he toured with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. These instruments would gain in popularity in Europe and America, winning awards at the 1900 Paris Exhibition and in 1904 St Louis World's Fair. In 1905, Henri took over the Barbier Company, a flute maker in Paris.
In 1922, Selmer introduced its first saxophones under the name "Series 22". The Selmer brand continued to grow strength in woodwinds. In 1931, Selmer Paris acquired the brass manufacturer Millereau and began making trumpets. Later Selmer Paris would even begin manufacturing guitars in partnership with Mario Maccaferri. It wasn't until the release of the Balanced Action saxophone in 1936 that Selmer Paris truly established their position as the leader in saxophone design. The Balanced Action and Super Action saxophones would follow leading up to the introduction of the Mark VI in 1954.
Between 1954 and 1974, Selmer Paris sold over a quarter million units of the Mark VI. Even today, it is the chosen 'vintage' instrument by professionals around the world. As times changed, so did Selmer Paris' models and the Mark VI evolved to the Mark VII, the Super Action 80, the Series II, and Series III. In 2003, Selmer Paris launched the Reference 54 saxophone which is based on the feel and response of the Mark VI with modern intonation refinements.
Today, Selmer Paris is a leading manufacturer and the choice instrument of clarinet and saxophone professionals around the world. The instruments continue to be hand-crafted in Paris with the fourth generation of Selmer family members leading the company.

The Pin Phoenix Observation Tower is being developed by boutique real estate company Novawest and designed by Denmark-based BIG. Unlike many other big cities, Phoenix does not have an observation tower to draw visitors into its downtown. The pin will be located in the heart of the museums, convention center and the sports arenas. Rising 430 ft in the air, the Pin is composed of a concrete core topped with a spiral sphere. BIG's design was inspired by the Guggenheim museum and is like a core sample removed from the building and placed on top of a tower.
Visitors will enter the facility through the Base, which will serve as a public plaza offering shade, water features and a small amount of retail together with a subterranean queuing area. An elevator in the core will take the visitors up to the top of the sphere and then they walk down at their own pace. Inside the sphere, visitors can enjoy dynamic viewing and observation space, a terrace bar and café, a high-end restaurant, event space for catered events, a viewing gallery for special art and cultural exhibits and an evening lounge and nightclub.
The Pin is definitely a distinctive landmark and will certainly place the city on the map. One can imagine though the analogies you can make regarding its shape – a golf ball on a tee, a giant mascara wand, or a huge map pin. Sustainability is said to be a large part of the design and will include energy efficient practices, LED lighting, and solar technologies. No word yet on construction timelines, but naming rights are still available, for which you can contact Novawest.

Not Your Typical Box of Chocolates: 11 Unusual Chocolate Gifts
Everyone loves chocolate, but come Valentine's Day, the tried-and-true box of candy can seem a bit mundane. This year, spice up your love life and surprise your loved one with one of these out-of-the-box chocolaty gifts.
If you think your sweetie would appreciate a more traditional approach to the holiday, check out this collection of some of our best chocolate recipes.
By Lauren Haslett
Chocolate Barbecue Sauce
King's BBQ sauce is a small, family-owned company, but Tom Cleveland, its "sauce boss" (as his wife and company co-owner Vicky refers to him), has been perfecting his recipes for nearly a decade. Tom, along with his brother Richie Cleveland, makes all the company's sauces in small batches, and their chocolate sauce is truly a family creation. Although the brothers formulated the final product, Tom and Vicky Cleveland's sons were the ones who came up with (and demanded) this innovative flavor combination. It's based on their original blend, with the addition of sweet, smooth milk chocolate.

Game 121: Reds at Nats
Aug 17, 2011, 9:00 PM EST
File photo by Mark Zuckerman / NATS INSIDER
Ross Detwiler faces Johnny Cueto tonight at Nationals Park.
Way back when this season began, Ian Desmond was the Nationals' leadoff hitter. Wow, does that seem like a long time ago, or what? By April 15, the shortstop had been dropped in the order, and he's spent the majority two months batting either seventh or eighth. But he's started to get hot again, having hit .283 over his last 12 games, so tonight Desmond is back in the leadoff spot for the first time since April 14.
The residual effect: red-hot Rick Ankiel gets bumped down to No. 2, with slumping Danny Espinosa now in the 6-hole. What tangible effect this all has on the Nationals' lineup remains to be seen.
Ross Detwiler will be on the mound, looking once again to establish his ability to pitch deep into a game, something he's struggled with in the past. He and the Nats have a tough challenge ahead of them, facing Reds right-hander Johnny Cueto, who leads the NL with a 1.94 ERA.
As you know, I'm in Hagerstown tonight for Stephen Strasburg's rehab start. So I won't have updates or a postgame article from Nationals Park. Please keep up the conversation as always here, and be sure to check for my full Strasburg recap later on the site…

@Anon 8:21: "Bottom line though is that as the team gets better and demand for tickets goes up, these kinds of incentives will be going away. Enjoy them while you can."Precisely. I think I agree with you about Nats Bucks vs. discount, but your last point is the key one. Since 2006, my season ticket cost per ticket has gone down, not up. (Infield Gallery, 313 at Nats Park; 417 at RFK.)I imagine 2012 might be the last year of giving away all these tickets and money. When the team is good, tickets will be in demand, and they'll no longer need to paper the house.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Lunch: Valerie Bertinelli Weighs In
As much as we love our bird's eye perch from the bar, it's always a treat when we're invited to dine in the grown up section — especially when the scene is as head-spinning as it was today. Hallmark Channel's senior vice president Jen Geisser and her power publicist Jaime Saberito made room for me at the table at a luncheon hosted by their fearless leader the consummate showman Henry Schleiff and attended by a tasty stew of bold-faced names and top executives from UNICEF that made for one interesting afternoon of Cobb salads and conversation. Henry, newly ensconced on UNICEF's board, brought the group to together to kick off the TAP project during 'World Water Week' (March 16-22). The initiative was created to raise funds and awareness by asking NYC diners at select eateries around town to forego their Fiji water for good old NYC tap water and donate what they would have spent on it to help fund clean water for kids around the world. And, yes, Michael's is participating.
The reigning queen of the celebrity diet wars Valerie Bertinelli (A 40-pound weight loss thanks to Jenny Craig!) was the guest of honor (arriving with her boyfriend Tom Vitale) having made one movie for the network with another one in the works — Mrs. Washington Goes to Smith (Catchy title!). The still adorable actress and newly minted best-selling author was busy signing books for everyone (Henry thinks of everything!) but still made time to chat with me. Her big news — her book, Losing It — And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at Time will debut at No. 1 on this week's New York Times' list. "I'm so thrilled — it's on my son's 17th birthday and I dedicated the book to him," she says. "I couldn't be more blessed." Val (we're on a first name basis now) also confided that she's hot on starting another book and already has an idea that's bound to strike a chord. "I'd like to write something like Divorce & Children: Love Your Child More Than You Hate Your Ex. The list is long when one considers who might benefit from such a tome. For now, at least, it appears Silda Spitzer won't be needing it but we're not closing the book on that one just yet.
Here's the rundown on today's crowd:
1. The white wine was flowing in celebration of Linda Fairstein's latest book, Killer Heat with a table full of gals that know a little something about the subject. In attendance: Cosmo editrix Kate White, super agent Esther Newberg, former Law & Order SVU star Stephanie March, Lesley Stahl (I promise to keep my eye out for that 60 Minutes watch!) and Cynthia Lufkin (Congrats on being named The American Cancer Society's Mother of the Year!)
2. Bobby Zarem and a Jake Gyllenhaal doppelganger.
3. Mayor Joe Armstrong who has been traveling far and wide hard at work on his upcoming book with some lovely looking ladies. Welcome back Joe, we missed you!
