    # This method accepts any of the following:
    #
    # * A Rails TimeZone object.
    # * An identifier for a Rails TimeZone object (e.g., "Eastern Time (US & Canada)", <tt>-5.hours</tt>).
    # * A TZInfo::Timezone object.

    # just needs to return a string identifying the user's preferred TimeZone:
    #
    #   class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
    #     before_filter :set_time_zone
    #
    #     def set_time_zone

  # This method is similar to Time#localtime, except that it uses <tt>Time.zone</tt> as the local zone
  # instead of the operating system's time zone.
  #
  # You can also pass in a TimeZone instance or string that identifies a TimeZone as an argument, 
  # and the conversion will be based on that zone instead of <tt>Time.zone</tt>.
