  $zone_list = timezone_identifiers_list();
  $zones = $blank ? array('' => t('- None selected -')) : array();
  foreach ($zone_list as $zone) {

      $zones[$zone] = t('@zone: @date', array('@zone' => t(str_replace('_', ' ', $zone)), '@date' => format_date(REQUEST_TIME, 'custom', config_get('system.date', 'formats.long.pattern.php') . ' O', $zone)));
