// ending-time as a valid DateString
var end = "2014/11/25 13:00:00";

// additional options
var opts = {
  timezone: "America/New_York", // timezone in context of the ending-time
  selector: ".countdown",       // jquery selector for the countdown's container
  format: "dd:hh:mm:ss",        // remaining time display format
  delimiter: ":",               // delimiting character
  show_units: false,            // use unit strings instead of delimiter
  remove_on_end: false          // remove countdown from the page upon completion
