title: momentJS get UTC timestamp
body: <p>Folks, I am unable to get the UTC timestamp using the momentjs.  Hope someone can point me in the right direction</p>
  
  <pre><code>var start = Date.now();
  var utc = moment.utc(start).toDate();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or</p>
  
  <pre><code>var utc = moment.utc().toDate();
  Tue Nov 11 2014 13:45:13 GMT-0500 (EST)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Returns the EST timezone I am in, not UTC.  How do i get the Javascript Date in UTC?</p>
  
  <p>If I do</p>
  
  <pre><code>var utc= moment.utc();
  console.log(utc);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>output is </p>
  
  <pre><code> { _useUTC: true,
    _isUTC: true,
    _l: undefined,
    _i: undefined,
    _f: undefined,
    _d: Tue Nov 11 2014 13:43:21 GMT-0500 (EST) }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
