How to create JodaTime object using a specific time zone
<p>I'm trying to figure out how to create a JodaTime object given a time stamp ALREADY in EST but having the time zone returned ALSO be EST.</p>

<pre><code>long timeStamp = 'some long time format in EST'
DateTime dateTime = new DateTime(timeStamp);
DateTimeFormatter fmt = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("MM/d/yy hh:mm:ss a z");
timer.setTime(fmt.print(dateTime));
</code></pre>

<p>I could just cheat and add the time zone as an individual string but I'd rather not :)</p>

<p>One way I figured was to just convert the long to standard Epoch time before i pass it to JodaTime but I was wondering if there was a way to just set the returned time zone to EDT.</p>
