KRAD's Inaccurate Guide to Life

Peter Quentin of Dreamwatch's "Total Sci-Fi" web site has given Star Trek: A Singular Destiny an 8/10.

Money quote:

A standalone novel, which can be seen as the "Family" to Destiny's "Best of Both Worlds", A Singular Destiny sets up an intriguing future for Trek literature.

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME

US Daylight Savings Time (DST) is not observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, or the state of Arizona, with the exception of the Navajo Indian Nation, which does observe DST. (Indiana adopted DST in 2006; 18 counties use Central Daylight Time, and 74 Eastern Daylight Time.) The Energy Policy Act of 2005 extended DST for one month so that, where it is observed in the US, it will start and end on the following days:

DST begins	YEAR	DST ends
at 2am	Spring forward, Fall back	at 2am
Mar 8	2009	Nov 1
Mar 14	2010	Nov 7
Mar 13	2011	Nov 6
Mar 11	2012	Nov 4
Mar 10	2013	Nov 3
Mar 9	2014	Nov 2
Mar 8	2015	Nov 1

Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.
