British Summer Time - 27th March 2011

Don't forget that you will lose 1 hour as the clocks go forward at 1.00
am GMT. The UK moves to 2.00 am BST and you will have a fantastic time
to enjoy day light in the evening.

Ain't it grand :')
We reset ours already, what a rotten winter.

Here in Arizona, we don't bother with changing the clocks.

We kept them forward for a few years in the 1960s, but there were too
many whingers.

Hopefully it will stay there when (again hopefully) we move to CET in
October!

I'm retired, who cares what time it is except the cows.

I can't afford to retire at my tender age of 22; I have still not
started making my first million yet! Good luck to you and pass us some
tips how to make your first million.

I'm fascinated by IT; and I suspect that we're on the edge of a big
revolution. But I'm not that young.
You'll probably see it. I might not. Let me know when it happens; or
when SETI detects some alien intelligent life; but, best of all, when
some genius unites classical physics with quantum theory.

Hi, Tester.

tips how to make your first million.

My partner told me many years ago: Just do it in steps, not all at once.

Step 1: Get half a million...

Nor does Hawaii.

Hawaii and Puerto Rico are in the tropics. The length of night and day
doesn't vary much between Winter and Summer, no there's not much point
to Daylight savings Time.

Arizona, on the other hand, is just obstinate. The Navajo Reservation,
in the Northeast quarter of the state, does use DST.

I know why they don't observe it, but when has reason and "...not much
point..." ever had any affect on what politicians do?

Good for Arizona. The U.S. needs more states like them.

FWIW: the Hopi Reservation which is totally surrounded by the Navajo
Nation doesn't observe DST either. And as far as I know are the only two
places in the continental US that don't.

Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Eastern
Time Zone part of Indiana, and most of Arizona except for the Navajo Indian
Reservation, do not observe Daylight Saving Time.

Hi, John.

Your mention of the circadian rhythm reminds me of the first BIG use of
microcomputers, back in the late 1970's: Biorhythms!

Remember those? There were supposedly 3 life cycles for each of us that ran
from the day we were born. I don't recall what they were, maybe our
Physical cycle, Emotional cycle, Economic cycle - or something like that.
The cycles were about a month each and ran for similar but not identical
numbers of days - 23, 25 and 27 days, maybe. On our TRS-80s, Apples, IMSAIs
and other early computers, we would print out plots of the 3 cycles for the
current month on a page. When the 3 curves peaked, we could expect
wonderful things to happen to us. ;<) Kind of like astrology.

Ah, yes, Wikipedia has it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biorhythm

RC

It was when they all reached zero, not the peak, IIRC.

In my arguments with believers, one piece of ammunition I used was to
multiply the three numbers together to find out the length of time to
get to the three zeros. I am too lazy to get the exact number now, but I
recall it was around 53 years. Let's pretend it was 53 years, 5 months
and 7 days.

So I took this time value and asked my believers whether they thought
*every person in the world* had a major crisis on the day they turned 53
years, 5 months and 7 days old.

I never won the argument, of course.

If I'm wrong about zeros versus peaks, a similar (but I suspect a bit
more difficult) calculation can of course be carried out for that
situation, to get the correct number for peaks. And I would still lose
my arguments with the believers

It's been said that the second million is considerably easier to make
than the first, so I'm going to work on it first!

If I recall correctly, your circadian rhythm runs at about 23 hours rather
than 24, so it should take a lot less than 2 weeks to adjust. Most frequent
jet travellers reckon on about one day per hour, or less if you are young
enough. I'm old, and it takes me a lot longer. ;-)

Whenever I go someplace on vacation, whether I travel east or west, I
overcome the jet lag in a day or two. But when I return home, the jet
lag takes me a couple of weeks to adjust to.

It has much more to do with what I do on vacation as opposed to at
home than it does with circadian rhythms.

Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the
Eastern
Time Zone part of Indiana, and most of Arizona except for the Navajo
Indian
Reservation, do not observe Daylight Saving Time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Indiana - On April 29, 2005, with
heavy backing from Governor Mitch Daniels' economic development plan,
and after years of controversy, the Indiana legislature passed into
law that on April 2, 2006, the entire state of Indiana would become
the 48th state to observe daylight saving time.

They forgot to tell me. Thanks for the update.
