ZF-2368: Zend_Measure_NumberTest::testConvertTo() failing (1.0-branch)

Should be fixed within the latest release
Is it now fixed within the trunk ? Can you please give me response ?
Thank you...
That would be good to resolve it for the 1.0.4 release (if possible). So I've increased issue priority.
(It still fails with the latest release maintenance brunch update - revision 7968)
I asked "is it fixed within the trunk" because I didn't want to make try and error within the branch. As I didn't got response on this, I integrated all changes into the branch with all possible problems.
So please give me response if it is now fixed with the latest revsion.
(I've just deleted my wrong comment, I looked at another issue before an answer)
Sorry for misunderstanding. Yes, the problem still exists in current trunk version.
Unsure if it will make until 1.0.4... therefor downgrading to critical... fix depends on an other issue which will be fixed before this one
I've just fixed it. There was a problem in base converting for long numbers.
Thomas, please review the changes.
PS Changeset 8266 is actually related to the ZF-2633 issue (wrong issue number in the comment)
I changed only a small typo... the rest looks good in my 3 environments. Thank you for your help.
PS: I hate OS related problems... they are hard to fix :-)
Yeah. I've just commit it to the release maintenance branch.
PS I do agree :) Sometimes I think that one OS for all would be better :)

text: Dec 3, 2012 11:10 Stephen Ortego Jim Fannin John F. LaBruzzo John White | Capitol news bureau Comments LaBruzzo, familymoves to Central Former state Rep. John LaBruzzo now is a resident of Central. LaBruzzo said he and his wife, Brandi, made the move from Metairie for professional and personal reasons. The LaBruzzos have three daughters, the youngest of whom was born prematurely last year weighing only 2 pounds. LaBruzzo said moving to Central made sense because it is his wife's hometown. His mother-in-law volunteered to baby-sit while his wife settles into her new job at a Baton Rouge law firm. "We like it. We like it a lot," he said of life in Central. Superintendent'soffice lacks decor While state Superintendent of Education John White is paid $275,000 per year, his state office is as bare as they come. White took the job in January, and the fifth-floor view provides a good look at the north side of the State Capitol and the Mississippi River. But few pictures dot the walls, and his desk has a laptop and little else. Two New York Yankee caps — White used to work in New York City — are stuck away in the corner. A mock subway sign for the Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall station sits atop a shelf. Louisiana and U.S. flags stand behind his office chair. Despite the lack of decor, White says he has no plans to leave anytime soon. "As I have said repeatedly, we are at the start of a long journey," he said of efforts to improve public schools. AG opinion soughton health care cuts State Rep. Stephen Ortego and some of his House colleagues want Attorney General Buddy Caldwell to weigh in on the legality of Gov. Bobby Jindal's health care cuts. Ortego said it is clear to him and others that Jindal exceeded his legal authority when he imposed cuts at LSU hospitals without Legislative approval.Ortego asked for an expedited review noting that "the reductions will be implemented immediately" and could harm the ability of hospitals to deliver patient care and train the state's future physicians. Ortego argues that the cuts are much deeper than the 35-percent threshold in law that would trigger legislative approval. But the cuts at the LSU University Medical Center and the Huey P. Long Medical Center in Pineville, are "more like 40 percent when you start factoring in the insurance and private pay dollars that would be lost with a reduction in services," said Ortego, D-Carencro. Ortego wants Caldwell to opine on the meaning of certain terms in the state law limiting Jindal's budget cutting authority. Fannin gets staticin presenting query Static erupted from state Rep. Jim Fannin's microphone Thursday when he tried to pose a question during a discussion of forest fires. "I guess that's a burning question," state Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain said. Fannin, D-Jonesboro, eventually got his microphone under control. PowerPoint sets high standard at meeting State Police Maj. Mike Noel impressed legislators Monday by preparing a PowerPoint presentation for a meeting of the Louisiana House Committee on the Administration of Criminal Justice. "A PowerPoint? We're first class," state Rep. Joe Lopinto said. Lopinto, R-Metairie, said Noel probably should have gone last so he did not show up the other presenters. Up next was Louisiana Gaming Control Board Chairman Dale A. Hall, who delivered disappointing news to the committee. "I don't have my own PowerPoint," he said, offering to use Noel's instead. Arbour ethics caseto be dismissed A Louisiana Board of Ethics case against East Baton Rouge Parish School Board member Jerry Arbour is nearing an end. Arbour faced allegations he violated state law because he failed to electronically file campaign finance reports during his 2010 election. The case has been pending before the Ethics Adjudicatory Board, called EAB, as Arbour contested the filing requirement. The ethics agency said last week that the EAB will dismiss the charges because Arbour has electronically filed the required reports. "Mr. Arbour will be assessed fees for the late filing of his reports. He may then request a waiver of said fees before the Board of Ethics," said Ethics Board spokeswoman Alainna Giacone. Arbour would be exposed to a per day fine to the maximum $2,000 for his failure to file. "Jerry is happy to be done with this, and that the board decided to dismiss this case," Arbour attorney Chris Alexander said. He said Arbour will seek a waiver of the fine. State law requires reporting once a $25,000 threshold is met. Arbour claimed he did not have to file the electronic report because he had not hit the threshold. He said neither his loans nor his contributions separately exceeded that amount. The Ethics Board said the threshold is computed using combined contributions and loans. LASERS receivesaward for standards For the ninth consecutive year, the Louisiana State Employees Retirement System has received the "Public Pension Standards Award" from the Public Pension Coordinating Council. The council presents the award to public employee retirement systems in recognition of their achievement of high professional standards in the areas of plan design and administration, benefits, actuarial valuations, financial reporting, investments and membership communications. The Public Pension Coordinating Council is a confederation of the National Association of State Retirement Administrators, the National Conference on Public Employee Retirement Systems, and the National Council on Teacher Retirement. Thibaut to speak at BR Press Club State Rep. Major Thibaut, D-New Roads, will speak at the Baton Rouge Press Club Monday. Thibaut will discuss the comprehensive restoration plan for False River, designed to improve the Oxbow Lake's habitat for commercial and recreational fishing, as well as for other recreational use. Press Club meets on Mondays at De La Ronde Hall, which is located at 320 Third St. in downtown Baton Rouge. Lunch, which is served at 11:30 a.m., is $12 for members and $15 for nonmembers. The public is invited. Hughes to speak at GOP luncheon First Circuit Court of Appeal Judge Jeff Hughes, of Walker, is addressing the Livingston Parish Republican Women on Wednesday, starting at 11:30 a.m. Hughes is the Republican candidate for a post on Louisiana Supreme Court in Saturday's runoff election. The luncheon event is at The Wholly Grounds, 27988 Walker S. Road, which is on La. 447, just north of Interstate 12 in Walker. The public is also invited to attend.

Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Constant Innovation and Translation of Scientific...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings (LabCorp) said today it completed of its acquisition of rival testing lab Medtox Scientific, nearly two months after entering into the $241-million deal to create a specialized toxicology-testing powerhouse.
LabCorp disclosed the completion of the Medtox deal on the same day it sought to shoot down a published report that LabCorp itself was on the block. Mergermarket reported that a private equity consortium was looking to snap up LabCorp in a huge leveraged buyout, then take the company private.
TPG Capital and Bain Capital Mergermarket are among firms capable of pursuing a deal for LabCorp, according to Mergermarket, which also cited Blackstone Group, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, and Madison Dearborn as potential members of the private equity consortium.
"The Company has no knowledge of any such plans and is not in current discussions with any firms to effect such a transaction," LabCorp stated.
Medtox said it was being acquired by LabCorp on June 4 for $27 a share cash, 37% above the company's closing share price of $19.70 three days earlier. The deal cleared a key hurdle when the US Federal Trade Commission last month granted early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.
During the second quarter, its last full quarter as a public company, Medtox recorded net income of $1.2 million, down 11.7% from $1.4 million in the second three months of 2011. However, total revenues jumped 11.3% to $30 million, reflecting in part a 15.5% revenue jump for its diagnostic segment, to $6.5 million, due to improved sales in the workplace drugs-of-abuse and government markets with its new introduced EZ-SCREEN® cup device, and increased sales of PROFILE®-V sold into the hospital market with its Medtox Scan® Reader.
Medtox also saw during Q2 an 8.4% gain to $11.7 million in revenue for its Laboratory segment from drugs-of-abuse (DAU) testing, as well as a 17.7% leap in clinical laboratory revenue, to $9.6 million.
LabCorp, which finished last year with $5.5 billion in revenue, offers more than 4,000 tests ranging from routine blood analyses to reproductive genetics to companion diagnostics.

Arthur F. Thurnau ProfessorKarl W. Deutsch Collegiate Professor of Comparative Politics and German Studies
Office Location(s): 6751 Haven Hall 734.213.2226
Personal Website
View Curriculum Vitae
Andrei Markovits is currently an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and the Karl W. Deutsch Collegiate Professor of Comparative Politics and German Studies in the Political Science Department. He is the author and editor of many books, scholarly articles, conference papers, book reviews and newspaper contributions in English and many foreign languages on topics as varied as German and Austrian politics, anti-Semitism, anti-Americanism, social democracy, social movements, the European right and the European left. Markovits has also worked extensively on comparative sports culture in Europe and North America. His latest book is Sportista: Female Fandom in the United States, co-authored with Emily Albertson. (Temple University Press, 2012). The typical female sports fan remains very different from her male counterparts. In Sportista, Andrei S. Markovits and Emily Albertson examine the significant ways many women have become fully conversant with sports—acquiring a knowledge of and passion for them as a way of forging identities that until recently were quite alien to women. Sportista chronicles the relationship that women have developed with sports in the wake of the second wave of feminism of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The changes women athletes have achieved have been nothing short of revolutionary. But, as Markovits and Albertson argue, women's identity as sports fans, though also changed in recent decades, remains notably different from that of men. Sportista highlights the impediments to these changes that women have faced and the reality that, even as bona fide fans, they "speak" sports differently from and remain largely unaccepted by men.
Professor Markovits is also the recipient of the Bundesverdienstkreuz Erster Klasse, the Cross of the Order of Merit, First Class, the highest civilian honor bestowed by the Federal Republic of Germany on a civilian, German or foreign. It was awarded on behalf of the President of the Federal Republic of Germany by the Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Chicago in March 2012.

Bequest of William B. Dietrich in loving memory of his brother, H. Richard Dietrich, Jr., 2010
In 1766, on his return to France after eleven years in Italy, Hubert Robert was made a full member of the French Academy and the following year caused a sensation at the Salon with thirteen paintings of ruins. Exhibited under the title: Un Pont, sous lequel on voit les Campagnes de Sabine, this painting was the subject of much commentary by the art critic Denis Diderot who was very taken by the grandeur of Robert's Italian landscape.
Robert specialized in paintings of idealized landscapes and architectural fantasies and drew much of his imagery from the studies he made during his Italian sojourn. During his lifetime, Robert was recognized as one of France's finest landscape and view painters, as well as an accomplished garden designer. A prolific artist who exhibited regularly at the Salon until 1798, Robert was imprisoned during the French Revolution but later held an official position as a curator of the Musee du Louvre where he helped to organize temporary exhibitions.

Awww yeah. Now this is some catchy ish. Hezekiah Davis and Tone Whitfield are Johnny Popcorn, a Philly based rock, soul, and hip-hop outfit. "Power" is a snappy lo-fi garage vibe track which kind of feels like it could be a less dark and dense Hanni El Khatib tune.
The video features a slew of running babes stripping to their hearts' content amidst good ol' nature. "Power" is a track off the duo's March 2012 album, The Crow, which you can stream in full below.

Didier Reynders receives the Togolese Prime Minister Kwesi Ahoomey-Zunu
On Friday, 25 January, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders received the Prime Minister of the Togolese Republic, Kwesi Ahoomey-Zunu, on his business visit to Brussels.
The two ministers expressed their satisfaction with the positive relations that prevail between Belgium and Togo. The Togolese Prime Minister commented on the socio-political situation in his country, drawing attention to the legislative elections of 24 March 2013.
On the bilateral front, Didier Reynders praised the new project in Togo entitled "Solar Without Borders", from the Belgian non-profit organisation BISZ. The project was awarded the "Nyrstar Foundation Award" in May 2012, as well as the financial assistance that goes with it. The charitable organisation Nyrstar Foundation supports initiatives in the field of health, the environment, education or social well-being in developing countries. The "Solar Kiosks for Togo" project gives local communities access to electricity and lighting.
In order to reinforce existing trade relations, which mainly pass through the ports of Lomé and Antwerp, and via SN Brussels Airlines, the two ministers also exchanged views on other possibilities in other economic sectors. The Port of Antwerp is Europe's leading port to the African continent. The Port of Lomé is considered to be Togo's economic lifeblood, and also serves the vast hinterland formed by countries near to Togo such as Mali, Nigeria and Burkina Faso.
Minister Reynders and Prime Minister Ahoomey-Zunu also discussed their international commitments. Togo has a seat on the UN Security Council until the end of 2013. As a member of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), it is part of the African-led International Support Mission to Mali (AFISMA). Belgium is providing a logistical contribution to the French operation Serval, combatting terrorism in Mali (aerial transport and medical evacuation capacity). Furthermore, Belgium is supporting the implementation of a European Union mission to train armed forces in Mali (EUTM).

It is more than acceptable to take your friends to lunch and ask them to be your bridesmaids. Or you can get crazy and whip a fabulous little box full of delightfulness like Bethany. Most of her bridesmaids-to-be lived far from her. Given how very much they meant to her, she did not want to text them and ask them to play a major role in her wedding.
Bethany had a great "Will You Be My Bridesmaid?" project. She went down to her local JoAnn's and bought some unfinished Cigar boxes. You can buy them online for $3.49. She then painted them a sweet cream and blue Bahama. Wonderful wedding colors as well. Don't you think?
The outside of the box got two to three coats of light ivory to cover up the natural wood aura, and inside was treated to one layer of ivory, too. After that dried Bethany attacked the inside lid with a pencil, and free handed the bracket. We suggest downloading the template here and tracing.
Bethany used a few sets of playfully calligraphic adhesive letters. You can pick those up at your local craft store. Before filling it with goodies Bethany used two coats of satin varnish, even over the letters.
Then it was time to tackle the contents. The bottoms got lined with vintage handkerchiefs.

The Webroot SecureAnywhere® Agent's small footprint performs its work at a very low level in the operating system and is uniquely self-aware. It is capable of tuning its memory usage based on the environment in which it is running. The performance characteristics of the Agent make it suitable in traditional server and virtualized server environments.
The Webroot SecureAnywhere® Agent is an ultra-light 700KB client designed for significantly better operational speed than other AV solutions.
On disk, it occupies less than 4MB* of space. During scanning, its RAM usage is around 12MB*or less. It is by far the world's lightest, smallest and most efficient endpoint protection Agent.1
Webroot succeeds where other solutions have failed, with a smaller footprint and faster scanning. It's an easy-to-manage, time-saving product.
The Webroot SecureAnywhere Agent works by sending file signatures and ancillary data on programs and objects to the Webroot® Intelligence Network™. It then receives real-time predictions and determinations on whether an object is 'known' good, 'known' bad, or unknown/undetermined.
The reduction of on-device processing directly contributed to Webroot SecureAnywhere scoring a record 78/80, or 97.5%, in independent performance testing. These tests focused on different performance metrics determined by PassMark Software and compare Webroot SecureAnywhere to seven of the world's leading AV vendors.
Webroot SecureAnywhere uses a variety of techniques to reduce the impact it has upon local endpoint resources. These include parsing the disk at the RAW level (to maximize scan speeds), minimizing network communication and intelligently tuning its memory usage when resource-intensive applications are detected. This feature is especially useful in traditional and virtualized server environments as well as on PCs.
During the most comprehensive scans, Webroot SecureAnywhere typically sends between 300KB and 2MB of data to the Webroot Intelligence Network for analysis. It normally receives back less than 250KB of data. On average, normal daily operation of the Webroot SecureAnywhere Agent exchanges less than 100KB of data with the Webroot Intelligence Network.
The result of optimizing Agent size, functionality, scanning, communications and interoperability within the endpoint environment is that it's never obvious to end users that the program is using any CPU or RAM resources, and therefore never gets in their way.
Such low resource usage also permits Webroot SecureAnywhere to run concurrent scans, or effortlessly scale and run on virtual machines operating within a single physical server - without any disruption.
This low system impact also improves security, as Administrators may schedule regular security scans during the working day without impacting a user's ability to keep using their machine; something not achievable with other solutions.
*PassMark Software - Endpoint Security Performance Benchmark Report – February 2012
Antivirus scans and updates are usually the reason why customers using legacy security software report their machine is running slowly or they can't use a machine at all during an update. The CPU and RAM usage is so high that many machines don't have enough resources to run the users' applications.
The Webroot SecureAnywhere® Agent is an ultra-light endpoint client of 700KB, designed to provide a significant improvement in operational speed. On disk it occupies a mere 4 MB* of space and during scanning its RAM usage is around 12MB* or less.
Once Webroot is installed, you don't need to do anything - it's more streamlined and user friendly.
Due to its small size and design it operates efficiently on computers with minimal system requirements. Recent independent testing of all the major antivirus vendors by PassMark Software has clearly shown that Webroot SecureAnywhere is by far the world's lightest, smallest and most efficient endpoint protection Agent.
Webroot SecureAnywhere typically downloads and installs in less than six* seconds, and is fully operational in under *2 minutes.
*PassMark Software - Endpoint Security Performance Benchmark Report – February 2012
When deploying an antivirus solution, you often need different client Agents depending on the class of machine where the install is taking place. This is not the case with Webroot SecureAnywhere. You use the same Agent for deployment on PCs, Laptops, and Servers or in VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix terminal server environments. The unique capability to intelligently tune CPU and memory usage when resource-intensive applications are detected allow the Webroot SecureAnywhere Agent to be installed within individual virtual machines or on task-specific servers without impacting their performance. This feat is impossible with other AV security vendors' software because of their large footprints and demands for CPU, Memory and Disk resources, which are often hundreds of times bigger than Webroot.
Our lightning-fast system scans take under two minutes, compared to hours for many other security solutions, and the ability to run concurrent scans allows Webroot SecureAnywhere to effortlessly scale to thousands of Virtual Machines on a single physical server. Webroot SecureAnywhere achieves this by scanning beneath the operating system and parsing the hard disk and registry at a raw level.
Webroot SecureAnywhere is designed so that it can coexist with other security products and play a complementary role in a multi-layer security approach; eliminating the need to uninstall existing solutions prior to migration. It maximizes security while not getting in the way of endpoint performance or user productivity.

evolution is a joke. no missing links found. Newton and many prominent scientists never believed it. It's the theory of one finite fallible man who had major doubts about it himself! The theory is not compatible with modern molecular biology either. God is so good! The Bible is the only book that satisfactorily explains the world and the mess it is in. He came to save your soul. God bless You
[Jan 21, 2005 at 04:59 AM]
Actually the theory of evolution was arrived at separately by three independent researchers all looking at the evidence at the same time; Charles Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace, who published at the same time but graciously allowed Darwin to take the credit (1st July 1858) and Patrick Mahw who had in fact already published in 1831 but whose theory had been buried in the appendices to a book on tree growing. The theory has since been accepted by the overwhelming majority of scientists.
[Jan 21, 2005 at 08:15 PM]
With reference to "Missing links" Numerous fossil species have been discovered that seem to be ancestors of modern forms, fossil horses with toes rather than hooves for example. There are also numerous fossils of several different ancient hominid (humanoid) species.I have myself worked in Molecular Biology and am aware of no conflict with evolutionary theory. All organisms on earth have DNA which encodes protiens in the same way. This is consistent with a common origin for all life forms.
[Jan 21, 2005 at 08:37 PM]
Point taken Adrian. APC: When Darwin put forth the theory it was thought that the single cell was quite simple. With the advent of molecular biology it was soon discovered that the single cell was very complex, effectively making the theory absurd. Isn't it true that a single cell is more complex than many man made machines and yet people say that it had no creator?
[Jan 22, 2005 at 03:07 AM]
The current theory is that the earliest cells were relatively simple (like very basic bacteria) but that the greater complexity of the modern Eukaryotic cell arose as a result of symbiosis whereby different simple cells cohabited inside a larger one. This explains why mitochondria and other cell organelles have their own DNA; they are once-independent organisms that have become part of a whole. Further, that a cell has no creator is less absurd than the idea that a creator exists with no cause.
[Jan 24, 2005 at 01:29 PM]
What I am saying is that until the advent of powerful microscopes the 'bits and pieces' of even basic bacteria were kept hidden. When people were able to finally view them years after Darwin the amazing truth of their complexity was revealed.
[Jan 26, 2005 at 09:03 PM]
So scientific theory had to update to take account of new discoveries made by the scientific method. That's how it's supposed to go.
[Jan 28, 2005 at 11:37 PM]
Yeah they was scratching their head boy 'cause they sure as hell were havin' a hard time reeconcilling what they got. Ya Know!
[Feb 01, 2005 at 08:52 PM]
All scientific theories are updated to take account of new evidence. Newton has had to be re-evaluated in light of Einstein, for instance. Theology, too regularly updates, from the God who walked in Eden in the cool of the evening, physically wrestled with Jacob, showed his behind to Moses etc. to the God who "Lives outside space and time" as preached by many modern believers.
[Oct 14, 2005 at 08:14 AM]
Dammit Rupert you're stupid. Just because comething is complex doesnt mean it needs to have a creator. By that logic, God the creator would also have to be infinitely complex and great, so he ALSO requires a creator, and his creator also requires one, etc etc. IF YOU SAY THIS IS NOT THE CASE, then there is no reason the cells can't use by the same logic (no creator). If you say god required no creator there's no reason the cells require one.

Great site! It not only pokes fun at the Creationism scam, but at all instant experts who get on TV. Remember a few years ago there a "retired lieutenant colonel" expert on military affairs appearing on FOX news. It turned out the guy washed out of Army basic training as a kid! Back to basics, the Creationism scam relies on people not being able to tell a hypothesis from a theory from a law. I had an 8th-grade science teacher who explained the difference.

Great point Boba. I really believe that there is so much resistence to science from the religious because of fear. It is terrifying to grow up learning and believing something that has been proven false. Perhaps Christianity will adjust to the real world truths such as evolution, much as it did when the world was proven not to be flat. Oh and one more thing, I don't know about you Rupert, but I am glad the medical community "believes" in evolution!
[Apr 07, 2006 at 12:40 PM]
[Apr 20, 2006 at 10:45 AM]
God gave the evolution theory to man... but man judged the theory and made it questionable... Whit this deed man also judged themselves and their belief to God... If someone says there is no evolution - he/she is one to say that God doesn't exist. God and evolution are one and thatfor should be threated as equal.
[Apr 20, 2006 at 11:52 PM]
Religious people are always referring to machines (comparing them to cells ect.) in their need to prove the existence of a designer. If we take a look at the modern automobiles today, it's quite true. The vehicle has had it's designer, but nontheless it has also evolved from plain forms. Cars are collections of old and new inventions made by not one, but several designers. Does anyone know how old is the wheel as an invention?
[May 20, 2006 at 11:19 AM]
its perfectly logical to believe that a universe always existed than to claim a "divine being beyond comprehension" designed a world and that there never were cavemen, mastodon, etc.
[Aug 12, 2006 at 07:00 AM]
Hilarious. Hits the nail right on the head!

TS Dorian loses force, becomes tropical wave
Published: Sunday, July 28, 2013 at 8:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, July 28, 2013 at 8:43 a.m.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico | Tropical Storm Dorian lost force Saturday and became a tropical wave as it pushed westward across the Atlantic before nearing Caribbean islands.
National Weather Service meteorologist David Sanchez told The Associated Press that some rain and rough ocean conditions are expected on Monday in Puerto Rico.
The tropical wave had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph) Saturday afternoon and it was centered about 550 miles (890 kilometers) east of the northern Leeward Islands, moving west at 24 mph (39 kph).
In the Pacific, Tropical Storm Flossie was moving quickly west-northwest, heading toward Hawaii, though it was projected to weaken before reaching the islands. It had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (80.46 kph) and was centered about 920 miles (1,480 kilometers) east of Hilo, Hawaii. It was moving west-northwest at 18 mph (29 kph).
There were no watches or warnings in effect for either storm.

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Annuals
Confessions of a Plant Thief (page 2 of 2)
by Kim Haworth
Rooting the Cuttings
Once I have my guilty secret home, I remove the flowers and cut the stems into 4- to 6-inch pieces. I make a clean cut at the bottom of the stem and then remove all but two or three leaves at the tip end of the cutting. I dip the cut end into a rooting hormone such as Rootone. I place the prepared cutting into a 2- to 4-inch plastic nursery container filled with damp sand or fresh potting soil. If I use sand, I place a piece of plastic window screen over the drainage holes so the sand doesn't run out of the holes when I water. I poke a hole in the potting medium with a chopstick or pencil and insert the cutting.
I place the containers inside a clear plastic bag and use a pencil or chopstick to keep the plastic away from the cutting, and then secure the opening of the bag with a twist tie or rubber band. Humidity is a plus when propagating from cuttings, so if I place the cuttings inside the plastic bag, I don't have to mist them several times a day or water as often. I place the bag in filtered light?in bright sun, the bag of cuttings would cook. I always feel the soil before I water; it should feel dry to the touch. Since the plant has no roots yet, overwatering will only rot the stem.
Once roots have formed, the little plant will begin to grow and form new leaves. At this point, I remove the plastic bag and set the young plants in a protected location with filtered sun. I begin a mild fertilizer program using liquid fish emulsion applied at half strength every two weeks. I transplant the young plants into a larger pot when I see roots coming out of the drainage holes.
Once hardened off plants go into the garden and soon my garden becomes a place of beauty with a little help from unsuspecting friends.

AMF3 calls will fail if the first or only parameter passed to the call is an object. These are calls from Flash, Actionscript 3 netConnection
The fix to the problem seems to be to remove the check on line 184 of Request.php.
Can you supply the simplest code snippet for PHP and AS3 to make this happen. I have an object test that works fine in AS3 from Flex and can not re-create the issue.
Changes have been committed to the trunk that resolve the issue. Test case was created and committed.

Wow, Lil Kim. Ever since she was in that Lady Marmalade video you know she was going downhill
Wow, Lil Kim. Ever since she was in that Lady Marmalade video you know she was going downhill
that was probably one of the hottest videos i've ever seen, some girls at my school did it for lip sync, and got disqualified because they showed too much of "the stuff"
crazy......15 years for some counts of perjury? you think if she was a white rock star shed go to jail?
Ehh, don't bring race into this. I hate it when people use race as an excuse.Originally Posted by pyotrveliky
im not using it as an excuse. im bringing up a potentially legitimate question for discussion.
I doubt that has anything to do with it,
i think if a jury can put whitey mc white white Martha Stewart in jail, they can put anyone away...
she wasnt exactly in the jail i imagine kim would go 2. maybe im pullin this outta my ass.
yea she was in jail for like 5 months or something, and is now under house arrest for a couple more months, i think...
Was she ever in jail? I didn't think she was. I thought she was just put under arrest.

I just got off the phone with Pete Wesenberg, the co-owner of the soon-to-open Oblivion Taproom in Orlando. He says he and his wife, Missy Jahn, are on schedule to open the new beer bar on Sept. 1.
Located inside the old Straub's Fine Seafood space at 5101 E. Colonial Drive in Orlando, the bar will have 40 taps — all craft beers. Along with about 100 bottles available. And Wesenberg says he's not talking Shock Top.
"We'll have adventurous craft beers, more in line with what Redlight Redlight serves," he says.
The bar will also serve food, with burgers being the star. Chef Jim "Goody" Goodman (formerly with the Marriott) will be making all the food in-house, rotating items week to week. Everything from the french fries to the ketchup you'll dip them in will be made on site.
Wesenberg describes the space as "edgier than your normal bar and grill, a place grandma might be scared to enter. "
He says there are murals of skeletons around the bar, playing in theme with the logo and that the bar will have a "biker bar meets Social Distortion" kind of vibe.
"A rock and roll kind of bar," he says. With pool tables and dart boards. Hours will be from 4 p.m. – 2 a.m. Tuesday-Sunday with Mondays closed.
Sounds like my kind of joint — can't wait for it to open.
