Daylight Saving Time has begun

#1 Postby cycloneye » Mon Mar 07, 2011 9:53 pm

Is that time again to move the clocks ahead one hour.

A reminder about the batteries in the smoke detectors.

Many fire departments encourage people to change the batteries in their smoke detectors when they change their clocks because Daylight Saving Time provides a convenient reminder. "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 dead or missing batteries.

Don't forget to change it to DST in effect in your profile. User Control Panel, then Board Preferences.

For some reason this year it has been a strange transition for me. I've never had this happen before.
