Daylight Savings Time

Spring forward, fall back!  That's usually how you remember whether or not to set your clocks forward or backwards during daylight savings time changes.  Usually, you associate September with the beginning of autumn in Canada.  In New Zealand, it's spring around here, the first day of spring was September 1st.

September 25th, 2011 - Daylight saving time begins - you spring forward, setting your clocks ahead by one hour.
