Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday!

Actually the nice thing about Tucson is that it's in the beautiful Sonora Desert. Not observing Daylight Saving Time is a bummer. What would we do about evening racing on the velodrome, start before we leave from work, or have 1/2 lap races? And Mon/Tue at PIR could be Kiddie Kilo's for all classes? Daylight Saving Time moves an hour of daylight from when it's useless to most of us to when it's useful.

I agree. Days get shorter, and then they get longer...without the added bozoness of jerking an hour back or forward all in one day. There's kind of an artificial "something for free" syndrome associated with the change, at least when Daylight SavinG time begins. I think it's messin' w/Circadian Rhythms, bigtime.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday!





Reminder to move your clocks back one hour at 2am on October 27th (or

before you turn in on Saturday night)



This is important to message because it could affect the time you show up

to Johnson Farm on Sunday....



Below is some good info/trivia regarding daylight saving time from

http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html



Spelling & grammar



The official spelling is Daylight Saving Time, not Daylight SavingS Time.



Saving is used here as a verbal adjective (a participle). It modifies time

and tells us more about its nature; namely, that it is characterized by the

activity of saving daylight. It is a saving daylight kind of time. Similar

examples would be dog walking time or book reading time. Since saving is a

verb describing a single type of activity, the form is singular.



Nevertheless, many people feel the word savings (with an 's') flows more

mellifluously off the tongue, and Daylight Savings Time is also in common

usage, and can be found in dictionaries.



Part of the confusion is because the phrase Daylight Saving Time is

inaccurate, since no daylight is actually saved. Daylight Shifting Time

would be better, but it is not as politically desirable. In fact,

scientifically misguided politicians sometimes misunderstand. In 1995, the

British Time (Extra Daylight) Bill was introduced by John Butterfill,

attempting the impossible -- to legislate extra daylight. The bill did not

pass.



When in the morning?



In the U.S., clocks change at 2 am local time. In Spring, clocks spring

forward from 1:59 am to 3 am; in Fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 am to 1

am. In the EU, clocks change at 1 am Universal Time. In Spring, clocks

spring forward from 12:59 am to 2 am; in Fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 am

to 1 am.



Nationwide, U.S. restaurants and bars have varied closing policies. In

many states, liquor cannot be served after 2 a.m. But at 2 a.m. in the Fall,

the time switches back one hour. So, can they serve for that additional hour

in October? The official answer is that the bars do not close at 2 a.m. but

actually at 1:59 a.m. So, they are already closed when the time changes from

Daylight Saving Time into Standard Time. In practice however, many

establishments stay open an extra hour in the Fall.



In the U.S., the changeover time was arbitrarily chosen to be 2 am, when

most people are at home. This is practical and minimizes disruption. It is

late enough to minimally affect bars and restaurants, and prevent the day

from switching to yesterday (which would be confusing). It is early enough

that the entire continental U.S. has switched by daybreak, and the

changeover occurs before most early shift workers and early churchgoers

(particularly on Easter).



Some U.S. areas



Daylight Saving Time, for the U.S. and its territories, is NOT observed in

Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, most of the

Eastern Time Zone portion of the State of Indiana, and the state of Arizona

(not the Navajo Indian Reservation, which does observe). Navajo Nation

participates in the Daylight Saving Time policy, due to its large size and

location in three states.



A safety reminder



Many fire departments encourage people to change the battery in the smoke

detector when they change their clocks, because it can be so easy to forget

otherwise. "A working smoke detector more than doubles a person's chances of

surviving a home fire," says William McNabb of the Troy Fire Department in

Michigan. More than 90 percent of homes in the United States have smoke

detectors, but one-third are estimated to have worn-out or missing

batteries.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday!





Reminder to move your clocks back one hour at 2am on October 27th (or before you turn in on Saturday night)

This is important to message because it could affect the time you show up to Johnson Farm on Sunday....

Below is some good info/trivia regarding daylight saving time from http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html

Spelling & grammar

The official spelling is Daylight Saving Time, not Daylight SavingS Time.

Saving is used here as a verbal adjective (a participle). It modifies time and tells us more about its nature; namely, that it is characterized by the activity of saving daylight. It is a saving daylight kind of time. Similar examples would be dog walking time or book reading time. Since saving is a verb describing a single type of activity, the form is singular.

Nevertheless, many people feel the word savings (with an 's') flows more mellifluously off the tongue, and Daylight Savings Time is also in common usage, and can be found in dictionaries.

Part of the confusion is because the phrase Daylight Saving Time is inaccurate, since no daylight is actually saved. Daylight Shifting Time would be better, but it is not as politically desirable. In fact, scientifically misguided politicians sometimes misunderstand. In 1995, the British Time (Extra Daylight) Bill was introduced by John Butterfill, attempting the impossible -- to legislate extra daylight. The bill did not pass.

When in the morning?

In the U.S., clocks change at 2 am local time. In Spring, clocks spring forward from 1:59 am to 3 am; in Fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 am to 1 am. In the EU, clocks change at 1 am Universal Time. In Spring, clocks spring forward from 12:59 am to 2 am; in Fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 am to 1 am.

Nationwide, U.S. restaurants and bars have varied closing policies. In many states, liquor cannot be served after 2 a.m. But at 2 a.m. in the Fall, the time switches back one hour. So, can they serve for that additional hour in October? The official answer is that the bars do not close at 2 a.m. but actually at 1:59 a.m. So, they are already closed when the time changes from Daylight Saving Time into Standard Time. In practice however, many establishments stay open an extra hour in the Fall.

In the U.S., the changeover time was arbitrarily chosen to be 2 am, when most people are at home. This is practical and minimizes disruption. It is late enough to minimally affect bars and restaurants, and prevent the day from switching to yesterday (which would be confusing). It is early enough that the entire continental U.S. has switched by daybreak, and the changeover occurs before most early shift workers and early churchgoers (particularly on Easter).

Some U.S. areas

Daylight Saving Time, for the U.S. and its territories, is NOT observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, most of the Eastern Time Zone portion of the State of Indiana, and the state of Arizona (not the Navajo Indian Reservation, which does observe). Navajo Nation participates in the Daylight Saving Time policy, due to its large size and location in three states.

A safety reminder

Many fire departments encourage people to change the battery in the smoke detector when they change their clocks, because it can be so easy to forget otherwise. "A working smoke detector more than doubles a person's chances of surviving a home fire," says William McNabb of the Troy Fire Department in Michigan. More than 90 percent of homes in the United States have smoke detectors, but one-third are estimated to have worn-out or missing batteries.

Reminder to move your clocks back one hour at 2am on October 27th (or before

you turn in on Saturday night)

This is important to message because it could affect the time you show up to

Johnson Farm on Sunday....

Below is some good info/trivia regarding daylight saving time from

http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html

<http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html>

Spelling & grammar

The official spelling is Daylight Saving Time, not Daylight SavingS Time.

Saving is used here as a verbal adjective (a participle). It modifies time

and tells us more about its nature; namely, that it is characterized by the

activity of saving daylight. It is a saving daylight kind of time. Similar

examples would be dog walking time or book reading time. Since saving is a

verb describing a single type of activity, the form is singular.

Nevertheless, many people feel the word savings (with an 's') flows more

mellifluously off the tongue, and Daylight Savings Time is also in common

usage, and can be found in dictionaries.

Part of the confusion is because the phrase Daylight Saving Time is

inaccurate, since no daylight is actually saved. Daylight Shifting Time

would be better, but it is not as politically desirable. In fact,

scientifically misguided politicians sometimes misunderstand. In 1995, the

British Time (Extra Daylight) Bill was introduced by John Butterfill,

attempting the impossible -- to legislate extra daylight. The bill did not

pass.

When in the morning?

In the U.S., clocks change at 2 am local time. In Spring, clocks spring

forward from 1:59 am to 3 am; in Fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 am to 1

am. In the EU, clocks change at 1 am Universal Time. In Spring, clocks

spring forward from 12:59 am to 2 am; in Fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 am

to 1 am.

Nationwide, U.S. restaurants and bars have varied closing policies. In many

states, liquor cannot be served after 2 a.m. But at 2 a.m. in the Fall, the

time switches back one hour. So, can they serve for that additional hour in

October? The official answer is that the bars do not close at 2 a.m. but

actually at 1:59 a.m. So, they are already closed when the time changes from

Daylight Saving Time into Standard Time. In practice however, many

establishments stay open an extra hour in the Fall.

In the U.S., the changeover time was arbitrarily chosen to be 2 am, when

most people are at home. This is practical and minimizes disruption. It is

late enough to minimally affect bars and restaurants, and prevent the day

from switching to yesterday (which would be confusing). It is early enough

that the entire continental U.S. has switched by daybreak, and the

changeover occurs before most early shift workers and early churchgoers

(particularly on Easter).

Some U.S. areas

Daylight Saving Time, for the U.S. and its territories, is NOT observed in

Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, most of the

Eastern Time Zone portion of the State of Indiana, and the state of Arizona

(not the Navajo Indian Reservation, which does observe). Navajo Nation

participates in the Daylight Saving Time policy, due to its large size and

location in three states.

A safety reminder

Many fire departments encourage people to change the battery in the smoke

detector when they change their clocks, because it can be so easy to forget

otherwise. "A working smoke detector more than doubles a person's chances of

surviving a home fire," says William McNabb of the Troy Fire Department in

Michigan. More than 90 percent of homes in the United States have smoke

detectors, but one-third are estimated to have worn-out or missing

batteries.
