Time and Date are quite different. Think seriously on your business need what

if you need a _date_ e.g. start_date of a contract, don't use Time, it will get
confusing when local time gets involved. The concept of
contract_start_date => "1 Feb 2012"
is different from the concept of
contract_start_time => "1 Feb 2012 00:00:00+00"
At contract_start_time (midnight in London) it is still 31 Jan 2011 7pm in NYC
and the contract has _not_ started yet to NY standards ...
