Fall Back to Standard Time
Did you remember to reset your clocks for the end of Daylight Savings Time? Standard Time returned at 2:00 a.m. local time on November 7, 2010.
The hour of sleep that we “lost” back in March is regained in the annual change of our clocks back to Standard Time. Officially this occurs at 2:00 am on the morning of the 7th. Set your clocks back one hour before you retire on Saturday night and you’ll wake up on Sunday in synch with the rest of the nation. Even though we move back to “Standard Time”, we now spend more of the year observing Daylight Time, which makes me wonder which system should now be considered as the “Standard”. Luckily, the Department of Transportation has the responsibility to keep this all sorted out; the U.S. Naval Observatory just provides the reference time-scale!
Can’t remember which way to adjust the clocks? Just remember the old adage, “spring forward, fall back.”

Something Old, Something New
Our InfoPages links have been popular with readers looking for basic information on a wide variety of topics.
The InfoPages links are back. You’ll find the familiar scrolling list of InfoPages links in the sidebar to the right.
We have also added more new resource links. In the sidebar you will also find a collection of links to sites with information on various health and wellness topics, and a scrolling collection of links to the InfoSites Network, information sites on various topics.
All links in these resource collections will open in a new window, and all of these information sites are completely free to use with no sign-up or registration required.
News Feeds and Local Weather Are Back
We have added back in some long-time features: several news headline feeds and the Tallmadge local weather.
The weather information block, located in the right sidebar, gives you the forecast for today and tonight, plus current conditions, at a glance. The local weather information updates automatically every half-hour, so you will always see up-to date weather information. Click on the date to visit weather.com for detailed and extended forecasts, radar maps, and more.
The news feeds are located at the bottom of the page, and include national, world and financial news headlines, plus the “Daily Mail” Science feed, an informative and entertaining source consisting of a mix of serious science news and downright weird stuff.
Roll your cursor over the rss feed items on this site to see the first paragraph or so of any entry in the feed.

Just About Finished…
Installation of the new site is almost complete. After a few more details are wrapped up, we will begin adding new content.
Content from the previous site will be gradually pulled forward into this site under its original posting date.
That process may take a while. This is a completely different platform, and while the content from the old site still exists, there is no good way to automate moving that content and a good deal of manual effort will be required.

Please Excuse Our Virtual Dust
Please excuse our virtual dust… we are in the process of a complete reconstruction of the site.
We do not anticipate any substantial downtime, but complications are always a possibility.
We took the site down and started the rebuild on Sunday, October 24, 2010 at 9:00 p.m. local time.
We expect to be back online by the afternoon of Moday, October 25, 2010.
This site redesign and reconstruction is being done by Summit Web Services.
