My Clock Is Confused

OK, I've done that and it was correct.  Now I have to reset my clock.  I ran
base-config, just the first part of it and told it that my clock is not UTC.
Now I am 4 hours behind.  If I tell it my hardware clock is UTC then it puts
me 4 hours ahead.  How to I reset the clock to the right time and run a
program to keep it that way?  I tried the date command and the parameters
are strange.  I haven't been able to get it right yet.
