title: JS get date in UTC time
body: <p>I've created a date in JS like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var myDate = new Date('2013-01-01 00:00:00');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I assume JS reads this in as UTC time. But when I do something like myDate.getTime() the timestamp returned was something like 4AM GMT time. </p>
  
  <p>Why is this? And how do I get the date as midnight in UTC time?</p>
