When I put -3 it was wrong by an hour.......and hummm, California is only 3 hrs behind East Coast time, so I tired -4 and now it tells me the correct time in my area. Anywho....thanks for the enhancement!
For others of you having this issue I believe its do to Daylights Savings. That silly hour adjustment.

Glad everyone is enjoying the new feature.

I think it changes November 2, or at least in the first week of November.

I guess those Cows had a great lobbying group then.

I do think that everyone in the country should abide by it but I don't like the switch to November for the change over. The mentality was that this would cut down on the electricity we use during a day. Which if you think about it is stupid because your not changing the actual amount of daylight available your only changing the time you wake up and go to sleep. Personally I wake up at 6am for work and my area is already dark as night until 7am by the time we switch over I will be driving to the train in the dark too.

The whole daylight savings switch to me will never work it will just annoy those who know that this won't reduce the amount of Fossil Fuels we consume. [/rant]

I was actually interested in why certain parts of the nation didn't do DST and looked into it. Turns out it's actually because the farmers (and kind of the cows). When you first hear this it doesn't make sense because the farmers and animals would just wake up with the sun, etc. and the clock time wouldn't really bother them. Which is correct, until you realize how dependent they were on the trains. Since the interstate trains would operate under DST, the schedule for sending and recieving materials would be all out of whack. So they decided to not do DST in order to ensure that all of the farming community would be able to operate under the normal schedule. pretty interesting if you ask me... of course, I am a huge nerd.

This is super!!! I remember one day around 1:00 in the afternoon when I decided to request my daughter's favorite track for her to hear later in the afternoon after she got home from school. I couldn't believe how many requests were queued when I looked. Yes, I pulled out my calculator to tally it up -- almost 8 HOURS of tracks had been requested. My request would have come up after her bedtime!

I'm sending thanks out to everyone who worked to bring this clock to us -- what a great tool for us Disney fanatics! You guys are the BEST!
