The default is :local.
I *think* you may be misinterpreting that. I think that is setting the timezone that it will put the value in when you read it from the db. I think you will find it is still stored in the db in utc. Have a look directly at the db data to see. Looking at http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Timestamp.html it seems that ActiveRecord::Base.time_zone_aware_attributes and skip_time_zone_conversion_for_attributes may be of interest.
