title: java date format - GMT 0700 (PDT)
body: <p>This is the date format that I need to deal with</p>
  
  <pre><code>Wed Aug 21 2013 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I don't get what the last two parts are. Is the <code>GMT-0700</code> fixed? Should it be something like this?</p>
  
  <pre><code>SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss 'GMT-0700' (z)");
  </code></pre>
