Hi Greg, this works, thanks so much! The one problems is I have to add the "-5" 
for it to work, and it current displays the tip for today 1/8/11 but shows 
1/9/11 as the date.
I assume that the new tip this way will be updated at 12:00 am Hawaii time?

I put the code on this page:
http://www.gotnutrients.net/dailytips_test.cfm

<!--- code--->
<cfset tipdate = now() />
<cfset offsettime = dateadd("h", -5, tipdate) />

<cfquery name="rs_dailytip" datasource="#REQUEST.dataSource#">
  SELECT record_id, tipdate, dailytip, consumer_link,consumer_text,
research_link, research_text
  FROM dailytips
  WHERE tipdate = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" value="#offsettime#" />
</cfquery>

<!--- check if there is a tip for today, sidplay, or display error message--->

<cfif rs_dailytip.recordcount>
        Today's Daily  Tip:<p>
        <cfoutput><em>#DateFormat(tipdate,'mmmm d, yyyy')#</cfoutput><br />
        <cfoutput>#rs_dailytip.dailytip#</cfoutput><p>
    
    Consumer Related Article:<br />
        <cfoutput><a href="#rs_dailytip.consumer_link#"> 
#rs_dailytip.consumer_text#</a></cfoutput><br /> 
    
    Research Related Article:<br />
    <cfoutput><a href="#rs_dailytip.research_link#"> 
#rs_dailytip.research_text#</a></cfoutput>
    <cfelse>
        No Daily Tip Today!
</cfif>
<p>

I am trying to get the tip to display at 12:00 AM in Hawaii, but the server is 
located in Delware, the ideal situation is to add 5 hours so the tip is not 
displayed until 12:00 am in Hawaii
<p>
<b> Server Information</b><br />
<cfoutput>#DateFormat(Now(),'mmmm d, yyyy')#</cfoutput >Delware Date<br />
<cfoutput>#TimeFormat(Now(),'hh:mm tt')#</cfoutput> Delware Time<br />
<p>

<b>Hawaii Information</b><br />
<cfoutput>#DateFormat(offsettime,'mmmm d, yyyy')#</cfoutput> Hawaii Date<br>
<cfoutput>#TimeFormat(offsettime,'hh:mm tt')#</cfoutput> Hawaii Time<br />
<p>
