So, after almost 2 years, my husband has finally won his Social Security disability case. Last month, we recieved a large back pay settlement, but won't start getting monthly payments until sometime this month. My family is currently recieving foodstamps, and I plan on notifying my caseworker as soon as we recieve that new monthly income from Social Security. However, since we have that back pay, and I know they ask for bank statements, will that large deposit affect our ability to qualify? We've used some of it, to pay off debts, but I don't plan on blowing it all just so we can qualify for assistance! I believe with my income and his social security, we sill still qualify for a small ammount of food stamps...I just didn't know if the amount in the bank disqualify us. Does anyone know?

If it is Social Security Disability then you can probably expect your DH's "checks" to be there on the 3rd of every month. My dad and aunts are on Social Security Disability and they get theirs on the third of every month.
As to the back pay effecting your benefits I don't know.

do you really need the food stamps anymore?
Canadian mommy of:
i think you are allowed to have savings... am i wrong in this?
Canadian mommy of:
It *should* say somewhere in your food stamps documentation that if you receive a lump sum of cash to contact the office immediately, prior to spending it.
So, call your caseworker and report it. Failure to report it could be considered fraud.
In my state, you can have $2k in cash/stocks/bonds, etc if you're single and $3k if you're a married couple. My guess is that your check will be more than that.
Call your caseworker and see what they say. I thought someone told me once if you get a large sum, you have a certain amount of time to spend it and turn in receipts before they took it into consideration.
It will be interesting to see what they say, since I am about halfway through my own disability claim and am wondering the same thing. I don't care about the FS, but they won't put you on Medicare until 2 years after the initial date on your disability application - I am TERRIFIED that I will lose my medical card if I win this case in less than 2 years, and I know my monthly SSD check will put me over the limit. Nobody will insure me privately because of all my pre-existing conditions, and the 2 that would insure me want almost $1400/month -which we could NEVER afford!
Oh, and did you know you can also apply for a monthly stipend for each of your kids as well? That might help ease the burden a little bit.

My moms in the same predicament currently. But the welfare office told her that if she gets her disability if she has recieved cash assistance she will have to pay what she recieved back.
When I got approved for SSDI back in 2006 I was on disability and when I got my back pay check they already had paid back the state for what I had received during the time while waiting for approval. They only took it for the cash I received every month not the FS. Don't know if it is still the same but don't really see why it would have changed. But who knows anymore with this government.

Hm, interesting. We're getting GI back pay soon, and I would've never thought about reporting it. I asked her before about getting it each month and she (my caseworker) said school money wouldn't count. But the large lump sum (though around $3k, so within limits) I would hope wouldn't effect it.
Thanks for all the input, I really appreciate it. I seriously hope we won't have to pay back the amount that we've been getting for food stamps. We haven't gotten any TANF or cash assistance.,,but all those months while we were waiting for his hearing and decision, we desperately needed the food stamps. As of now, no, we won't need the food stamps, at least not while we have that lump sum of money to live on. Though technically I think we will still have the monthly income to qualify. Also, in all my paperwork for assistance, it says that I have to report only when monthly income changes, and we've yet to get a monthly payment from SS...maybe it's just the wording, but I don't feel like I'm in the wrong for not reporting. I do plan on reporting the second we get that first month payment, because I'm certainly not trying to be fraudulent.
Again, thanks for the comments.

To answer your questions and correct a couple of other things said, hopefully. I live in Hawaii, and I cannot swear that it is not a state-to-state thing rather than a federal but here is what they told me:
My back pay will not affect anything (foodstamps, medical) for 6 months, so I have 6 months to spend it down to their 2k limit and that I did NOT need to keep receipts to prove how I spent it (although I intend to just in case). So I would go ahead and report it just in case they have things to tell you like you may have to have a separate account for that money).
As far as paying back for assistance received: a poster above stated that you have to pay back for cash assistance received. If you receive SSI you will have to pay back, and they will generally take it directly out of your check so no worries. If you only receive SSDI they will NOT take out for assistance received, they can only get paid back for SSI.
One last piece of advice I will pass on that I received from EVERYONE, and think it worth repeating: when you receive your lump sum payment before you spend a dime - call SSDI and make double sure that they have taken anything out that needed taken out (I received a ltd amount of ssi and if you get both they will decrease your lump sum ssdi by the amount of ssi you received in that timeframe). There have been so many instances of someone receiving their back pay and then 6 mos or a year later ssdi calls them and says oops we overpaid you by (insert amount here) and you need to pay it back immediately! Call to verify that your amount is what it should be and any deductions have already been made so you do not end up in a situation later where they want a grand back from you and you do not have it any longer. Good luck and I hope this information helped and put your mind at ease somewhat.
Lastly - Kasey, my monthly amount from SSDI is over lmit for medicaid as well, and I was worried about the same thing you are, however there are programs for those over income (slightly) and on SSDI. My program is expanded access and I have a monthly spend down because I am over income, but the spend down is way less than trying to get another insurance or pay for my own medical care would be so.............. you get the idea :)

It sure as hell is! Linux rulez I'm surprised I've never met its fans here before...
Then I'm happy to be the first!
Haha, yeah Which distro are you using?
What for me is easier: Ubuntu 12.04.
Yeah, same here, but I'm considering to migrate to something else (Debian?) because 50% of the games don't work without SDL, which fails to install for me

OP here. WOW, this thread was from like three years ago.
I never did end up making my slow hay feeder. I have the hockey nets and all the clips and everything, just never did put it up. The MIL decided against it at the time but it now in the process of making a different style for her piggy mare.
I absolutely LOVE the slow hay feeder concept. Whenever I have my own place, I'll definitely be implementing this concept there... makes so much sense.

Good time rock & roll. Any questions?
Listeners looking for a good-time and uptempo rock songs could do a lot worse than a band like Stag, whose self-titled debut offers an abundance of exactly that. Straightforward rock and roll instrumentation and arrangements don't exactly offer a bevy of surprises, but there is solid musicianship, layered harmony vocals and clever lyrics to be found in opener "These Times" as well as "Love Her Records" (chorus: "I hate her, but I love her records").
Other tunes deliver as well, like the propulsive "Mountains of Steel" and the eaworm-y "Paper Crown", not to mention "Ides of March", which sounds like an outtake from Quadrophenia. Sure, there are some duds, like the forgettable "Don't Lead with Your Heart" and "To Be Young", and overall, this is one of those records that's tough to remember 10 minutes after it's ended. But while it's playing, it's a pretty good time, and that counts for something, right?

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

There is a certain irony in the fact that, on this day in 1971, Lord Reith passed away. Doubtless he would have been horrified by some of the content that his beloved BBC now transmits, but the concept of a public sector broadcaster, providing quality programming for the nation, still exists.
My more economically liberal friends probably rail against the idea of state broadcasting but, given the slide in standards at both ITV and Channel 4, and the increasing number of digital channels that churn out a stream of repeats, we should perhaps be grateful that someone is still producing original material. Unusually though, I'm going to make common cause with them over the issue of state support for the production of ITV regional news programmes.
The proposal that a slice of the £3.6 billion that is assigned to fund the BBC be used to encourage ITV to retain what regional news content it still has and expand provision seems to be meddling with the market. If, as my free marketeer friends suggest, the market will supply what consumers want, it is apparent that consumers don't want local news via their television set.
There is a good reason for this. The original set up of ITV, with smaller regional franchises strongly rooted in their communities, encouraged the franchise holder to reach out to those they served. The umbrella organisation that linked them all ensured that stations like Border or Grampian benefitted from the ability of larger stations to produce mainstream drama, whilst they concentrated on the odd nationally franchised show like Mr & Mrs or How!. Regional news reached down to smaller communities and addressed their concerns in an accessable way.
However, as efforts were made to boost profit levels, the amalgamation of regional franchises led to an inevitable loss of local facilities. Regional studios went quickly, in favour of coverage from one centralised location. What hope for coverage of Northamptonshire if the regional news is produced in Norwich? Why watch the news in Braintree if the coverage is of events in Ely? As for coverage of sub-national politics that isn't London dominated, seek in vain.
It was my fond hope that the digital revolution would lead to a blossoming of very local broadcasting, produced at low cost by volunteer community broadcasters. Indeed, such experiments took place in places like Aarhus, Denmark, as I saw for myself twenty years ago. Unfortunately, the rise of the internet put paid to that. The ability to produce material at home, using a webcam and a laptop, means that you don't need to go to a studio to broadcast. With decent broadband, I could probably create Radio Creeting St Peter and broadcast spoken word programming to my heart's content were I to be so inclined.
I would leave the BBC to produce regional news content, using their range of options, television, radio and internet, to reach people, and leave the commercial sector to its own devices. Perhaps sometimes, if only sometimes, it's better not to buck the market...

Thoughts from the Train: Digital Britain - not exactly commemorating Lord Reith's death...

Rather a Catch 22 you present with tax funded broadcasting:
It crowds out competitors who don't have the assured income. Then you say this demonstrates the need for tax funded broadcasters.
The market is unfortunately well and truly bucked, and has been since the beginning of broadcasting. I suspect that in a freed market broadcasting may have developed in a rather different direction, although such 'what if' games are unfortunately pure intellectual exercises (until we invent a way of travelling to parallel universes ;) )

I have a pretty tough MIL and I have been holding things in that bothered me for a long time. One day after my baby was about 6 months I finally couldn't take and said to my DH you need to talk to your mom. Ofcourse he didn't. The next time I saw her I didn't let her do the things that bothered me. I stood my ground. That night she called my mom to bitch about my attitude. Later, my mom called me to tell me everything she said.
The next day MIL called me like nothing was wrong. "Hows the baby so on and so forth." I questioned her about the things she said to my mom and we both went on a full on convo about what we didnt like about eachother. It was horrible!!
When I told her that I didnt feel like a mother around her because she wouldnt let me or my husband near the baby. She said, "Well, I never get to see her and I should be allowed to do everything."
My daughter could be hysterical crying and she wouldn't give her to me. I have to say a number of times can I please have her.
When, I finally get her in my hands she is saying to someone, "take her"
To end our big fight she said you stole my son from me now you are taking my grandaughter.
We tried to make up several times and she said wasn't ready to see us. Finally, she said to my husband that she wanted to see the baby, but not to bring me.
Their is so much more to the story, but basically my MIL never has anything positive to say to us and she seems like she doesnt want us to be a happy family.
Any advice?

(Tioga Center, NY) For the second time in the 2013 racing season, foul weather has forced the cancellation of the racing program at the ASA Member Shangri-La II Motorspeedway. "We have really had a lot of severe storms park themselves right over the speedway the past few days" said track event coordinator, Amy Culver. "Sitting up as high as we do, right on top of the mountain, the rain intensity and wind is just incredible. We had ponds and mini lakes in our infield and our parking areas. We really had no choice but to cancel this week".The racing action has heated up on the track, just as much as the temperatures of summer. The Pudgies Pizza Street Stocks continue to have fast cars, close competition and a revolving door on who will be leading the points. Defending track champion, Jeff Goodwin reclaimed the top spot from Chris Zacharias on June 15th , but by only eight points. Both drivers have two wins apiece. Early season points leader, Charlie Sharpsteen remains strong in the third position, twenty eight points out of the lead. Jake Snell and Jason Duke, Sr. complete the top five in points respectively, the highest they have either been in points at Shangri-La II.

"Shangri-la II Falls to Mother Nature…Again"
(Tioga Center, NY) Heavy rains soaked the grounds on Friday at Shangri-la II Motor Speedway. Overnight rain and more thunderstorms predicted for Saturday afternoon into the evening have forced track management to cancel the Mid-Season Championship program scheduled for June 29th.
Race fans and teams are reminded that the next event on the schedule is Celebrate our Independence Night, this Thursday, July 4th. Shangri-la II welcomes the NYS Big 10 Super Stock Series for a 40-lap feature event. The Sportsman Modifieds were added to the card for a 25-lap feature, and fans will again enjoy taking a step back in time with the Atlantic Coast Older Timers in action. Skyview Drags will also be running, with the Jet Jam and Monster Truck Show at the adjacent facility.
Pits open at Shangri-la II at 4:30 PM on Thursday, with grandstand gates opening and hot laps getting underway at 5:30 PM. The first heat race hits the track at 7 PM.
By Tom Cummings
Gene Purvis continued his winning ways in the Four Cylinder Stocks at the ASA Member track, Shangri-La II Motorspeedway on Saturday night. Purvis collected win number five in the fifth week of competition. Jeff Goodwin out-dueled Charlie Sharpsteen on the final restart to repeat as winner in the Pudgies Pizza Street Stocks. Tyler Rypkema went wheel to wheel with the winningest driver at the track to claim back to back wins in the Sportsman division.
The green flag dropped for the Four Cylinder Stock feature and immediately Gene Purvis created a three wide challenge for the lead as he charged up from his fourth place starting spot. Joe Lane and Jeremiah Clonch held off Purvis as they continued two wide through the second turn. Clonch would claim the lead heading down the backstretch. Clonch crossed the line leading the first two laps, but would be overtaken by Purvis entering turn two on the third lap. Purvis checked out on the field leaving a three way battle behind him as Clonch, Lane and Nick Morich fought for second. At the checkered flag, Purvis claimed his fifth consecutive win of 2013. Lane finished second; Clonch was third and the driver who ended the Purvis Perfect streak by winning the heat race, Nick Morich, finished fourth. Devon Bailey finished fifth in his first ever Shangri-La II start.

Palestinian Boy Dies in West Bank after Triggering Israeli Explosive
A Palestinian boy died when an Israeli explosive blew up on Monday while he was playing in the West Bank near the border with Jordan, the Israeli army and local residents said.
Nassar Kabani, 15, was playing in sand dunes outside his village of Beit Dajan, some 45 kilometers north of Jericho, when he set off the explosive, local residents said.
The Israeli army said the boy had wandered into an area used by the military for training.
"He entered a clearly-marked firing zone and was injured by an explosive," the army said in a statement, adding that they took the boy to hospital and expressed their regret for the incident.
The Israeli human rights group B'Tselem said earlier this month that 34 people had been killed by abandoned explosives since 1987, among them 27 children, and more than 90 injured.
A Palestinian teenager was killed on August 20 after he stepped on abandoned explosives while he was on his way to pick figs in the southern West Bank.
In July, a young Palestinian shepherd was killed when he stepped on a landmine in a field occasionally used by the Israeli army for firing practice -- JERICHO (AFP)

The difference between a
simple emission checker (like a Heath TC-1, 2 & others) and a mutual
conductance* checker is very important. An emission checker tests for
shorts & cathode (or filament) emission only. The meter reading gives a good-bad
reading by virtually tying all the elements of a vacuum tube
together (except the cathode & heater) and testing the tube for
cathode emission by subjecting it to test as a diode (or
rectifier). An
emission checker will basically tell you whether a tube is
usable or not and give you an indication how strong is the
cathode emission. Both types will do a good job testing for
shorts and leakage.
This is not to say that an emission tester is of no value, even the best tube testers can mislead and test a tube good even though it may not function well in some circuits.
* Gm.....the symbol for mutual
Summing up, if you want a tester for occasional use for testing the tubes in your own equipment, you may no want to invest in the more expensive mutual conductance testers. On the other hand, if you have lots of tubes and want to sell them on eBay, the mutual conductance value (as read on a properly calibrated mutual conductance tester) supplied along with the tubes you are offering is a must.

Not sure what mail software you are using, but with mine, I can simply block any incoming email I do not want. I can flag it as junk, or I can block it completely. I do that all the time with spam email, or unsolicited emails.
Good Luck.-- hide signature --
Thanks for the suggestion.
I use Hotmail. I've been marking the Dpreview spam emails as "phishing scams", which I thought would help to block it. It doesn't seem to have worked.
Frankly, in my view the ideal solution is for Dpreview to stop sending me spam. I think that it is extremely unprofessional for a major website to send spam, especially to people who volunteer their time to host a series of challenges which benefit of that website.
I do not recall seeing anything on the Challenges page to warn me that I would receive spam after I had hosted the challenges, and nor do I recall ticking any box asking to receive spam.
I have emailed dpreview, as per the suggestion of Simon Joinson, but have not received a reply.
Here are some links to potentially help you block those emails.
For Windows.
For Mac.

Completing a whirlwind week of travel to make his Double-A season debut on Thursday, Nick Franklin collected two hits and helped turn a triple play, but the Jackson Generals were beaten by the Montgomery Biscuits, 5-3.
Franklin delivered an RBI double on Biscuits starter Nick Barnese's outside fastball in the second inning, then singled in the third. He also struck out and grounded out in his four plate appearances.
MLB.com's preseason No. 38 prospect made his presence felt even more in the field.
After the Biscuits' scored their first run in the fourth, they had runners on second and third with none out in prime position to close a 3-1 deficit. That threat was foiled on one play.
Generals right fielder Johermyn Chavez made a diving catch on Kyeong Kang's line drive. With Henry Wrigley and Matulia continuing to run, Chavez threw to Franklin covering second base, and Franklin fired on to third to complete the rare feat.
"It was just awesome. It stopped the bleeding, quieted the crowd down," Franklin said of the first triple play he was a part of since high school and the Generals' first since 2007. "I knew where the runners were; it was easy. They didn't realize that [Chavez] caught it."
Franklin also crediting the Generals coaching staff for poring over scouting reports, so he could position himself appropriately on the infield dirt. It's all part of the 20-year-old shortstop's transition to the Southern League.
"I played with some of these guys in Spring Training, so I feel comfortable," he said. "I am looking to take charge and be a leader."
Franklin learned of his promotion via text message in between travels. He had returned home to Florida during the California League All-Star break, then circled back to the West Coast to pack up his baseball gear. He joined his new club on the road in Alabama with less than an hour of sleep on a red-eye flight.
"It's been a long few days for me," he admitted.
Franklin batted .275 with 20 extra-base hits in 64 games with the Class A Advanced High Desert Mavericks. The 27th overall pick in the 2009 draft also was 13-for-14 in stolen base attempts.
"I feel like I could have done better," he said. "I'm just looking to move up, not just to Double-A, but to the big leagues."
Generals starter Tom Wilhelmsen was strong for six innings, allowing a run on five hits, but Taylor Stanton gave up four runs in the seventh to cough up that 3-1 lead. Kang's two-run homer tied the game and Stephen Vogt's two-run single capped the scoring.
The Biscuits bullpen was more effective as Frank De Los Santos (2-5) and former No. 1 overall Draft pick Matt Bush yielded one hit over three scoreless innings. Bush recorded his second save.

"Railgating" along "The Purple Path": Mpls' solution to Vikings tailgaiting problem
Coming to the game on the train? Now you can eat yourself silly all the way from the Warehouse District to the Dome.
Say what you want about the plan itself, but you have to give Mayor R.T. Rybak and the Minneapolis hospitality industry credit -- they certainly have a way with words.
-- Minnesota Vikings' one-year value increase largest in NFL
-- ESPN's Mike and Mike still unaware of Vikings stadium deal, think team might move to L.A.
-- Vikings stadium receives final approval from Minneapolis City Council on 7-6 vote
Downtown Minneapolis is too urban and cramped to accommodate the sort of tailgating that Met Stadium helped make famous, so here's the Rybak/hospitality industry solution: "Railgating" along "The Purple Path" (i.e., Fifth Street South between the Warehouse District and Metrodome).
A city press release provides some details:
Mayor Rybak unveiled the new Purple Path signage that will line each side of the blocks of Fifth Street South between the Metrodome and the Warehouse District on game days, which are designed to and will encourage traffic between the two hubs of activity.
Beginning at the next Vikings home game on Sunday, September 23, the first enhancement to the fan experience along the Purple Path will be "railgating" on the two blocks of Fifth Street South between Fifth Avenue South and Portland Avenue South, There, 16 mobile food trucks will be stationed for fans to sample from around 7:00 a.m. until around 1:00 p.m., or about an hour after kickoff of the Minnesota Vikings-San Francisco 49ers game.
So-called railgating, according to the release, is intended to give fans riding the train to the game a similar game-day experience to those who drive to a surface parking lot, break out a grill and a cooler, and have a couple thirteen fourteen before kickoff.
"People who ride the train to the game should have as much fun as people who drive a car," Rybak said, adding that he urges out-of-town Vikings fans to "come early, stay late and paint the town purple!"
But fear not, Vikings fans who want to tailgate old-fashioned style. According to the Star Tribune, officials plan to provide some additional curbside parking near the Dome for you. The hope, Rybak said, it to entice tailgaters out of the more residential Mill District and Elliot Park neighborhoods and toward the downtown core.
The Strib reports that the original railgating plan called for beer vendors along with food trucks. Unfortunately, that idea fell through, but Rybak said it may be revived down the line.
So if you want an adult drink to wash down your food truck eats before this Sunday's big game against San Francisco, bring a flask. Either that or head to Brothers Bar & Grill and hang out with R.T. According to the press release, the mayor will even buy a drink for the patron wearing the most outlandish Vikings outfit. What a homer!

anyway, i guess thats why we cloud ourselves with religion as a way to escape whats so hard to comprehend because we as humans are so very limited...but who's knows we could be the most intellegent intelegence in the whole universe.....or not who knows....so our scientists keep searching for answers but will we ever find them ? why are we here ? freak acident ?
In other words...........What is the point of EVERYTHING ? universe, life, galaxy and space......... my head hurts....
Should i just leave it all to the scientists ? should this thread even be open ? doesent seem like its going to lead anywhere...does anyone else think about this ?

Federal Way's Sanjaya Malakar enjoyed a brief run as "American Idol's" non-threatening Indian kid who couldn't sing very well. What's he been up to since?
The latest cover of "Bengal Tiger Beat."
Before yesterday, the answer to that question was, "Who knows and who cares?" Now it's been modified to, "Driving too damn fast."
Malakar was pulled over on Tuesday night after cops clocked him going 110 mph on I-405 near Kirkland. Exactly 50 mph over the posted limit. (Who's non-threatening now?)
Cops don't suspect drugs or alcohol played a factor. They're leaning more towards an alternate theory: that Sanjaya was speeding just to see what it'd be like to have a brisk wind blowing through those long locks of his.
Seriously, look at those teased bangs. He's like the Farrah Fawcett of untalented D-listers.

Does not work with Mac computers
This does NOT work with a Mac computer. I did a fair amount of research prior to purchase to make sure this would work with my Macs. It does not. I'm very disappointed in how Plantronics explains (or does not explain) the various compatibilities of their products. This is a relatively high-end product and I expect much more from this vendor.

Arrivals and Registration through day
We have selected two of the top vineyard and winery tours in the Napa Valley, The Caves at Soda Canyon and The Krupp Brothers.
The Caves at Soda Canyon were founded by the owners of one of our winery partners, Ryan and Crystal Waugh of Waugh Cellars and Six Degrees out of pure passion and love for wine. The Caves are quickly becoming the most popular destination in Napa Valley for wine lovers who are looking for quality wine, quality people and quality experiences.
The site is incredibly unique as it is one of very few fully underground wineries within Napa Valley and California. The Cave construction is stunning and astonishing surprises are to be found around every corner and the philosophy of the wineries featured at The Caves at Soda Canyon sets The Caves apart from all other wineries in Napa Valley.
All four families who call The Caves at Soda Canyon home are first generation winemakers and their stories will inspire all who visit. A commitment to family first will be noticed almost immediately, with this philosophy being followed by multiple winemakers with an unwavering commitment to quality winemaking rarely seen under the same roof (or cave in this instance).
The quality of wine, food, music and hospitality is unmatched and will leave you in awe as you learn more and more about The Caves at Soda Canyon.
Rising into and over the fogline of Napa Valley's eastern mountains, Stagecoach Vineyard and Krupp Brothers Vineyard boast thin, rocky volcanic soils ideal for growing world-class wine grapes.
Farmed sustainably, each vineyard is planted with a permanent cover crop to curtail erosion, and viticulturist Gabrielle Shaffer employs a minimum of pesticides, fertilizer, and water on each vine block. Stretching over 1,100 contiguous acres, the undulating, varied terrain creates diverse meso-climates and soil conditions that are distinctively suited to the 17 different varieties grown in these two vineyards.
In addition to this varietal variation, we have 16 different clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives our winemakers a diverse palette from which to create wine. Every cluster of tiny, intense mountain berries is handpicked, gently de-stemmed into small vessels, and thoughtfully matched to select barrels in order to create concentrated, textured wines with superior complexity.
Set against the rolling vineyards of California's Wine Country, The Meritage Resort and Spa illuminates with gracious hospitality, unrivaled amenities, culinary delights and a wine and spa experience that you'll never forget. Here you can enjoy the best of Napa without leaving the hotel grounds – wine tasting, award-winning cuisine, rejuvenating spa treatments, bowling and luxurious accommodations over eight acres of stunning real estate.
Set against a hillside vineyard, The Meritage Resort and Spa defines luxury dining in Napa Valley, CA. Whether you're in the mood for Pacific Seared Halibut from their signature Napa Valley restaurant, Siena, a cup of refreshing gelato from Blend™ Café or casual fare and a few frames of bowling in Crush Ultra Lounge, The Meritage Resort has all your dining wishes
Nestled in the hillside behind The Meritage Resort, discover the sanctuary of the Napa Valley resort spa. Spa Terra, located entirely underground and set within the 22,000 square foot Estate Cave; it is a Napa Valley experience in itself
Visitors can enjoy Napa's great outdoors with their premier golf courses, art and culture and famous hot air balloon rides over miles of rolling vineyards. There are plenty of enjoyable activities suited for everyone in Wine Country and The Meritage Resort is centrally located for easy access to all of them

I've implemented the following Top 10 Pulgin : http://www.alleba.com/blog/2007/03/27/wordpress-plugin-daily-top-10-posts/
I've asked the author to suggest how the plugin code be edited to reset the daily Top 10 at a specific time each day. My problem is my blog is hosted on a US server, but I'm in Australia.
My Daily Top 10 gets reset around 2.00pm (Australian Time) which is midnight where the server is.
I'm not good with coding, I suspect I should be able to add (10hrs * 60mins * 60secs) 36,000 somewhere where it calls the time and checks if it is a "new day".
Could one of the WP Gurus check it out and advise me if this is possible and if so, where to edit the plugin code.
