• Yank on Yank crime: Clint Dempsey beats Marcus Hannehman in the 72nd and Fulham wins finally. http://urltea.com/1ze1 #
• Rooney, Cesc, Ronaldo, Gallas (92nd, just over the line): Arsenal 2-2 Man Utd http://urltea.com/1ze8 Another late goal to salvage a point! #
• “Arsenal add steel to its subtlety to draw with Manchester United” http://urltea.com/1zeh Meanwhile Liverpool draw at Blackburn, sit 7th #
• Pompey scores 3 in the first 15 mins at Newcastle. Chelsea players upset at Ten Cate, take it out on Wigan 2-0. Everton slaugher The Rams. #
• One game of the season down, one to go http://tinyurl.com/2aop57 Pats vs Colts. My player to watch: Ben Utecht #
• Bama gives up 2 touchdowns in last 2 minutes, lose to LSU Nick Saban Bowl. Navy beats Notre Dame - first time in 40+ years. Life is Good!! #
• 8th ranked Kansas put a 70 burger on Nebraska’s Black Shirts. Wow. I guess revenge IS sweet. http://tinyurl.com/2e7fkf #
• South Carolina gave up 541 rushing yards to Arkansas? Ol’ ball coach must’ve thrown his visor clear to Bentonville. #
• Waiting for Pats-Colts, the 2nd game of the year this weekend! 4:00 games wrapping up - Cincy losing again and Ocho Cinco stretchered off. #
• Detroit 44-0 over Denver. Wow. Minnesota over San Diego. Carolina lost. David Carr sucks. It’s official. Saints over Jax. NO is making a run #
• Atlanta beat the Niners in the Toilet Bowl and Tampa beat Arizona. Looks like the Packers will win. Favre’s first win over KC. #
• Buffalo Cincy is over, mercifully. Jets Skins in OT. Tennessee eeks out another win. Vince Young’s QB rating may be 5 but they still win! #
• Phil Simms’ hair is looking finely coiffed even if slightly displaced by his headset. Harrison, Ugoh and 2 LBs are out for Indy! Not good. #
• Skins kick FG in OT. Poor 1-8 Jets. Peyton’s first pass to Anthony Gonzales. Like I said - watch Utecht. NE’s defense can be had. #
• Would suck to live in Houston or the Bay Area now. They can’t see this game on CBS! Vinnatieri missed a 50 yard FG. Omen? #
• Brady. SACKED. First play! #
• Payton’s calling an excellent game - why he’s better than Brady IMO. He’s running while they have 37 playing a Buck LB. Addai is RED HOT. #
• CBS is pissing me off with their slow replays. #
• Indy 3-0 after 1Q. #
• Colts red zone offense continues to suck. They got 2 gift PI calls and managed only 2 FGs. 7-6 Pats. #
• Colts get first big play. 70 yd TD catch and run on a simple checkdown. Addai has serious wiggle. Announcer compares him to Barry Sanders. #
• 13-7 Indy at the half. Indy’s playing very conservative on offense and keeping the Pats O off the field. #
• Another 3-and-out for the Pats. Gameplan working to perfection. #
• Defensive ballgame. Manning picked off then Brady sacked. Colts getting all the calls. Perhaps a little Cameragate Karma? #
• I have a sinking feeling NE is setting Indy up for something big. #
• My player to watch, Ben Utecht, records his first catch a minute before the end of the third quarter. Then Wayne drops a long pass from 18 #
• Manning is the best QB, bar none, of his era. 3 years ago he’d be slinging the rock all over the field. Now he’s much more measured. #
• His knowledge of the game and the strengths of the opponent, and his willingness to park his arm and ride Addai is what got him his ring! #
• Pats drive down the field helped by a monster 50 yard catch by Moss. 20-17 Colts. Can they finish? Can they close the deal? Great teams do. #

Consumer Reports has a list of other things you should do during the semi-annual time change:

Replace batteries in all smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms
Reset clocks on appliances and electronics
Drive safely - As it gets darker earlier, be extra alert for children and animals
Inspect vehicle lights
Update your family disaster plan
Plan accordingly when traveling - Some areas of the United States and some of its territories do not observe DST
Check storage areas for hazardous materials
Program thermostats for savings - Shave up to 20 percent off your heating costs by lowering your home thermostat 5° F at night and 10° F during the day if no one is home. … You can also lop 50 percent off your utility bill by replacing the bulbs in just 25 percent of your most frequently used fixtures with compact fluorescents (CFLs)…

You know - if they’re going to change Daylight Savings time maybe perhaps my alarm clock shouldn’t have that feature built in to automatically change the time - all it means is that I have to manually change it and then manually change it again a week later. Annoying!

As far as compact fluorescents and other Going Green tips, check out Karen’s It’s Easy Being Green blog.
