Apparently the adjustment to our time on Thursday is scary to the Wall Street folks but the article also warns public safety and others of the issue.
Thursday at 7:59 eastern time the clock will not change to 8:00 but rather 7:59:60 See the article below:

Santa Barbara 100 Ultra Run
The Santa Barbara 100 (Ultra Run- formerly known as the Blacksmith Endurance
Race and the DRTE 100) is coming up on Friday July 10th, Saturday July 11th
and part of the Sunday July 12th . The race will start at 1800 on Friday,
July 10th and will continue until shut off time of noon on Sunday, July
12th. Most of the activity is on Friday and Saturday. I believe there may
be a 10k race on Saturday as well. The course is the same as last year
except the 50 mile turn-around point will be at Lagunita Del Cielo, which is
closer than the previous turn around point last year. The Romero Camuesa
Aid Station will be further down the dirt road so it won't be as windy as
the last times. Both of these off roads stations have been manned.
I need radio operators who have either participated before or who have not
but just want to have a good time in the backwoods of Santa Barbara. This
event shows how critical HAM radio can be in an area where cell phones do
not work. Experience is handy but not required. Most all the positions
that require off-road vehicles have been filled. All other locations can be
driven up to on paved roads.
We will be using the SBARC Rover to be Net Control and it will be placed
high on the mountain ridge where it has been for that last two years. We
have the Rover repeater and as a secondary we will be using OBB (147.000).
I know many of you have told me of your interest to participate again, but
please get back to me on the location you want to work and the hours that
you are available. The shifts will be 5 to 5 (either 5AM to 5PM or 5PM to
5AM). You need to tell me what hours you are available. I would love to
place at least two operators at each location so there can be a relief
person at all times. The hours listed are not written in stone and I would
appreciate any hours that you can participate.
The aid stations are:
Sage hill (Start/Finish): filled
Upper Oso Campground
Buckhorn Aid Station
Falls Aid Station
Live Oak Aid Station
Red Gate Aid Station
Cold Spring Saddle Aid Station
Monticeto Aid Station
Romero Camuesa Aid Station: Filled
Langunita Del Ceilo Aid Station (limited access- strict hours for
entry/exit): Filled

Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club
2015 Annual Bazaar on Saturday, July 18
This is the event that many of us have been waiting for. The Bazaar is where we play a great game of Musical Garages and where Junque is King.
Everyone has a chance to finally clear out all that wonderful junque that has been piling up. Even with all of our good intentions, we just never got around to building it, repairing it, modifying it or getting rid of it. Here is our chance. This event is a once-a-year happening and it is going to take place on Saturday morning, July 18, in the parking lot of the Goleta Union School District, 401 N. Fairview Ave. in Goleta, which is directly across the street from the Goleta Library. This lot is just to the north of our Club's monthly meeting room.
Here is a link to a Google Map for you to easily find how to get there, from no matter where you live.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/401+N+Fairview+Ave,+Goleta,+CA+93117/@34.…
So, just what sort of junque can you expect to find at the Bazaar? How about nearly every kind of radio related thing you can think of -- things like antennas, tower parts or complete units, radios that work, radios that almost work or used to work, all sorts of parts to build things with such as electronic components, wire, coax, insulators, telephone equipment, repeater components, semiconductors, vacuum tubes, test equipment, computer related junque, software, printers, memory, books and magazines, hardware, surplus military equipment, power supplies, soldering irons, older amateur radios and on and on. We're even working on getting excess industrial parts and materials.
There is also a Red Tag table where you may bring along a piece of gear that you don't particularly want to just toss on the pile but would prefer to ask a price for. The rules are that you or someone you appoint must be near your goodie to sell it for you and remove it after the event or any time before. Also, you get to keep 90% of what it sells for and SBARC gets to keep 10% of it. Hey, that's a pretty good deal.
The Bazaar runs from 8:00 am to 11:30 am. Be advised that the earliest bird gets the longest worm. So here is your chance to keep the little woman happy. Either she will be delighted that you have finally decided to clean out all that wonderful junque or she will be dancing up and down when she sees that trinket you have brought home with you! Oh yeah, sure.
Bring all your friends. The Club needs the money. Speaking of which, we will have several of our favorite people acting as salesmen and you can make such a deal with them. Go ahead, insult them with a ridiculous offer. They'll bargain with you. Bring lots of green or checks. We're not set up to take plastic at the Bazaar.
It's probably going to be a hot morning so we will also have ice cold drinks and donuts for sale. And another thing, don't be shy about taking home a whole bunch of junque. What you don't use you can always bring back to next year's Bazaar. That just enhances the Musical Garages idea.
Now, don't tell anyone, but at some point in time that morning, if you listen carefully, you can hear announced that everything that has a price marked on it is just half price! It gets crazy. But wait there's more -- as the clock approaches a certain hour, you can hear announced that everything is FREE! Of course these price reductions do not pertain to anything on the Red Tag table or the refreshments. If you wait for the price reductions, someone will probably buy what you want. You've been warned.
I plan on getting all the good junque so if you really are thinking of taking home something special, better get there really early. In the beginning of the event, you can look it all over and keep in mind what you can't live without. Then when the bell rings, run over to it and grab it and take it to one of our salesmen. They'll be obvious there. Another thing, after you pay for your item and get your receipt, take it over to your vehicle and lock it up in there and come back and shop some more. It's a terrible thing when something you paid for is then bought again by someone else and taken home!
Do you have a table that you can put your junque on? Please get there early in the morning between 6:00 AM and 7:30 AM and set up your table, ask for help to unload your junque and let's bring it in. The entrance to this parking lot is just after you pull into the main parking lot entrance off of Fairview Ave. and then make a quick right turn onto the short driveway which leads to our area. Follow the signs. After you unload your junque, please park your vehicle in the large parking lot and make room for others to unload their junque. Oh, if you have one, bring along a hand truck so you won't have to lift heavy things. Put your name on it.
See you all on Saturday morning, July 18. Put it on your calendar now! Start saving your spending money and gather up all your junque so you won't have to do it at the last minute!

Rick,
This looks like an ideal application of WINMOR "Email-by-Radio" as it is a
natural for sending long lists of people, times and locations in Spread
Sheet format!

The ISS Returns
updated: Jun 16, 2015, 1:45 PM
By Chuck McPartlin
Once again, the International Space Station will be cruising above Santa
Barbara, with some nice visible passes during the next week.
On Tuesday, June 16, the ISS will rise in the NW at 10:22 PM, climbing
briefly above our mountain horizon to disappear into the shadow of the Earth
at 10:24, having just transited the bowl of the Little Dipper.
On Wednesday, it will appear at 9:28 PM in the NNW, and pass along the
mountains to vanish as it approaches the bright Summer Triangle star Altair,
low in the E at 9:33 PM. It will pop up again on its next orbit at 11:05 PM
in the WNW by brilliant Venus and Jupiter, and disappear near the star
Regulus 30 seconds later.
Thursday night at 10:11 PM, the ISS will rise in the WNW and pass above
Venus and Jupiter, along the back of Leo, and disappear at 10:14 while high
in the sky in Coma Berenices.
On Friday, June 19, it will make its brightest pass of this series, rising
at 9:17 PM in the NW, and passing high across our sky to enter shadow in the
ESE, in Serpens Cauda, the tail of the snake held by Ophiuchus.
Saturday evening's pass will start at 10:01 PM in the W, and will pass low
below Venus, Jupiter, and the Moon, disappearing in Corvus to the SW at
10:12 PM.
On Sunday, Summer Solstice, it will rise at 9:07 PM in the WNW, and pass
above Venus, Jupiter, and the Moon to set in the SSE at 9:12.
The ISS will make its last appearance for the week on Tuesday, June 23, when
it will rise at 8:57 PM in the W and make a long, low pass to the SSW,
disappearing at 9:01 PM.
