/**
* GmtCalendar is a useful class for working with times that are based using GMT
* time. For example, if a data loger collects info and returns it as GMT using
* GregorianCalendar is a pain because it will assumes that user supplied times
* are from the default TimeZone. This will cause an ofset in the time of each
* data sample. To avoid this GmtCalendar uses the GMT as it's default TimeZone.
* Note that it will return time in milliseconds UTC but any dates produced by
* using DateFormat will give the sample time based on the local time.
