Question

 NSDate *date=[[NSDate alloc] init];
    NSDateFormatter *dfLocal=[[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
    [dfLocal setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"];
    date=[dfLocal dateFromString:@"2011-09-22"];
    NSLog(@"the date is %@",date);

this is my code and gives the output as..

2012-04-02 18:13:45.338 TimeProblem[2656:207] the date is 2011-09-21 18:30:00 +0000

why is it appending this.. 18:30:00 +0000 to the end..? I just want it to be as 00:00:00 +0000

NSDateFormatter *dfLocal=[[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dfLocal setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"];
[dfLocal setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"GMT"]];
date=[dfLocal dateFromString:@"2011-09-22"];

NSLog(@"the date is %@",date);
