 * I am having timezones issues. I have my own plugin using my own theme. I do not
   believe that matters with my problem, but it may and so I wanted to mention it.
   I have complete control of my server. I have checked php settings and my timezone
   is correct. I have check mysql. It is using SYSTEM for timezone. I checked my
   system (centos 6.4 with date command) and it is also correct. While in phpMyAdmin
   I select NOW() and it returns correctly. While logged into mysql from command
   line it returns correctly. When I select NOW() using wordpress global $wpdb it
   returns UTC (wrong timezone offset). Inside wordpress admin it says the correct
   timezone and i verified it in the options table in the database. My plugin needs
   to compare current time ( NOW() ) to get from database certain results. Is there
   something I have not thought of? I believe this is also affecting a calendar 
   plugin as well.
