BING Picture of the Day
Today Bing's picture of the Library Of Congress Great Hall. We check this feature daily and continue to be impressed with the beauty found around the world. Take a look if you dare... http://www.bing.com/?FORM=MSNBNVNaNoWriMo Starts
jdb tells us "People around the world are pounding on their keyboard towards their goal of 50,000 words by then end of November 30. They will record their word count and post it daily. These writers will battle family, friends, jobs, computer errors, no internet access and their story to get the job done. Their comments, pleas for help and word count will be posted at http://www.nanowrimo.org This year the site says 214,999 writers have signed up to participate. My word count so far? Zero!"Time Change Sunday
Daylight saving time ends as we roll back our clocks one hour in most States in the US at 2 AM on Sunday November 3. There is no change in Hawaii, Arizona with exceptions, Midway Atoll, Wake Island, and a small region of Alaska.Source: http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/2013.html
All Saints Day
Search for all Saints Day November 1:http://www.bing.com/search?q=all+saints+dayDay of the Dead
Día de los Muertos. "The Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico can be traced back to a precolumbian past." November 1 & 2: Day of the Dead or día de los muertosFive Things Compared
It is fun to compare. We'll keep updating CNN and USA Today, but this article continues to move down! USA Today does have this feature today. The other three sites auto update, which is nice! USA Today's is the most different in US news. Canada's CBC audio is the most different to US listeners.

See part of the videoed news conference with Orson Welles following the radio broadcast from 50 years ago. ABC has a nice follow up video too, followed by great hoaxes.http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2013/10/the-war-of-the-worlds-75th-anniversary-could-we-be-duped-today/Marmaray: Istanbul to??

A screen show that tells us which shows have been canceled or renewed and where(other networks) a few of them will be found next year! http://tv.msn.com/canceled-or-renewed/photo-gallery/feature/?photoidx=1Top Seven Beer Drinking States
A video that may surprise you! http://msnvideo.msn.com/?channelindex=7Obamacare
We found a one stop news source. We think it works better than just grabbing stories. Think we will keep it! This will likely remain a constant news attack point until January's budget talks take front stage, center again: http://www.cbsnews.com/feature/obamacare/The Comics
The Comics change Daily! Sadly the second site does not present as much initial content with the editorial cartoons. http://news.yahoo.com/comics/ http://www.gocomics.com/The Supreme Court Current Session
Here is a search to keep up with news from John Roberts and the Supremes! http://www.bing.com/search?q=news%2C+Supreme+CourtStorms and Earthquakes
We created a few weather searches so we - and our readers - could keep up on the latest devastation news happening too often these days around the world. We may play with our search parameters. It doesn't seem to be sorting the stories very well. Typhoons: http://www.bing.com/news/search?q=typhoons%2c+latest+news&qpvt=typhoons%2c+latest+news&FORM=EWRE Hurricanes: http://www.bing.com/news/search?q=hurricane%2C+latest+news&qs=n&form=QBNT&pq=hurricane%2C+latest+news&sc=1-22&sp=-1&sk= Earthquakes: http://www.bing.com/news/search?q=earthquake%2C+latest+news&qs=n&form=QBNT&pq=earthquake%2C+latest+news&sc=1-23&sp=-1&sk=Older Projects
We do have several older, ongoing projects that need work on and they are listed below. Each will be changing over the next year. We will alert you when each is ready. Anyone want to help?
