Subject: Help converting DateTime from UTC

I trying to convert a parsed time of "2005-12-01T18:00:00Z" to the local 
equivalent.

I'm current in -800 (PST) and so and doing the following:
 DateTime.parse("2005-12-01T18:00:00Z").new_offset(-8.0/24)

What I get is very close, but not what I would expect:
 2005-12-01T09:59:59-0800

How do I get this to show 10:00:00? I don't really care about the 
seconds, so if there is no easy solution, I'll have to write a method to 
round to the nearest minute.

Thanks,
Geary
