 * I have countdown timer version 3.0.5 installed. In this file fergcorp_countdownTimer.
   php we have had to comment out line 152 because it was changing the time of our
   wordpress edits to 5 hours in the past.
 * For example, if we edit a post, our edit would say ‘edited 5 hours ago’… it also
   changed the time for all other time-based plugins on our site.
 * However when commenting out that line, now the countdown plugin thinks that times
   in the future are actually 5 hours offset.
 * Our site is set to New York time zone.

 * I had a similar problem with Event Expresso plugin.
 * The way I fixed it was to change the timezone in setting/general from city to
   a manual offset. So in your case try UTC-5

 * Yes, there are some known timezones issues. It’s tricky business, trust me…I’m
   almost an expert it in.
