I am having problems with time zones. For some reason it adds 4 hours  
onto anytime. And a weird thing is that it sets the timestamped created  
columns correctly and a datetime column incorrectly. Now if I set the  
time zone to a specific time zone it reverses that. Has any seen this  
happen before/ know how to fix it?  
Thanks
