Spring ahead, fall back.....
Starting in 2007, daylight time begins in the United States on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. On the second Sunday in March, clocks are set ahead one hour at 2:00 a.m. local standard time, which becomes 3:00 a.m. local daylight time. On the first Sunday in November, clocks are set back one hour at 2:00 a.m. local daylight time, which becomes 1:00 a.m. local standard time. These dates were established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Pub. L. no. 109-58, 119 Stat 594 (2005).
Not all places in the U.S. observe daylight time. In particular, Hawaii and most of Arizona do not use it.
Remember to change the batteries in your smoke detector when you change your clocks....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.

(spring ahead - fall back) When the bars close Sunday Morning , the 11th, at 2:00 AM set your clock ahead one hour. Note that most computers are now programmed to change on the old date and may have the wrong time for a couple of weeks unless you manually change them.

I HAVE HEARD THAT IT IS THIS NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT, OR SHOULD I SAY SUNDAY MORNING MARCH 11, 2007 AT 2 A.M. IN MOST PLACES IN THE UNITED STATES. UNLESS YOU LIVE IN ARIZONA. THEY DO NOT PRACTICE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME. I GUESS IT IS TOO CONFUSING FOR THE PEOPLE OF ARIZONA.

Sunday, March 11th. So you will need to set your clock forward on Saturday night before you go to bed.
