The above code will assume that you want to display it in local time,
if you change which timezone you tell rails it is in then that will
change the display of local time. Values in the db will always be in
UTC as far as Rails is concerned.
How are you detecting which timezone the user is in? I did not think
it was possible (other than asking him of course).
