title: Change the date of countdown script to universal time
body: <p>I tried to change the date format of this <a href="http://tutorialzine.com/2011/12/countdown-jquery" rel="nofollow">countdown jQuery script</a> from local time to UTC, but it doesn't work after my change. I even asked there but didn't get an answer.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script&gt;
      $(function(){
          var note = $('#note'),
          ts = new Date.UTC(2012, 0, 1),
  
          $('#countdown').countdown({
              timestamp: ts,
              callback: function(days, hours, minutes, seconds) {
                  var message = "";
                  message += days + " day" + ", ";
                  message += hours + " hour"  + ", ";
                  message += minutes + " minutes"  + " &amp; ";
                  message += seconds + " seconds" + " &lt;br /&gt;";
                  message += "time left";         
                  note.html(message);
              }
          });
      });
  &lt;/script&gt;
