Say Goodbye To Daylight Savings Time On Sunday

Everyone gets an extra hour of daylight beginning Sunday morning, as the clocks fall back one hour.

At 2 a.m. Sunday, Daylight Savings Time officially ends, and the clocks get turned back an hour. Many of us will go through the house that evening, manually turning back those ancient timepieces that do not automatically reset themelves.

Remember, you'll "fall back" by setting your clocks back one hour. Many electronic devices automatically adjust when Daylight Saving Time begins or ends.


When you change your clocks in the fall and spring, it’s also a good time to change smoke detector batteries and check to make sure other devices are in working order.

What will you do with your extra hour? Take a walk? Sleep in? Read up on the ballot measures? Tell us in the comments. 

Arizona, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa do not observe Daylight Saving Time.

Daylight Saving Time begins again on March 10, 2013.

The Staples discounts are not really all that helpful. You can usually find lower prices atRead More Wallmart or on Amazon and you must spend a large amount (a couple hundred dollars) all in one month to get any cash back reward at all. If you spend money on school supplies spread out, like $150/mo, you do not accumulate enough in any one month to get any reward at all. The deal sounds great, but I've found it completely useless and frustrating. I think it's a ploy for positive press only, and of little help to a teacher.

Teacher supplies is going on all over the country. I would suggest using the local PTA's to solicitRead More help from the parents.

Really? Show me the figures on this. The Dome has major infestation problems. It would require aRead More complete overhall and gutting. It is much cheaper to "rip and replace".
