Note : This is just my own personal selection of topics I am interested in!

IMPORTANT CORRECTION (AGAIN!)
I messed up on the reporting and converstion!
(March 30) When the schedule was first published, the normal offset from GMT to EST (Ontario) of 5 hours was given here. Then Ontario shifted to Daylight Savings, which through everything out by an hour (less). So I changed the indicated times. Then two weeks later, Europe shifted to DST as well, re-aligning the times back to +5 hours.
