As another quick note...

irb(main):010:0> Time.local(2007, 'nov', 27, 4, 13, 14).strftime("%Y-
%m-%d %I:%M:%S %p")
=> "2007-11-27 04:13:14 AM"

irb(main):009:0> Time.local(2007, 'nov', 27, 4, 13, 14).strftime("%Y-
%m-%d %l:%M:%S %p")
=> "2007-11-27  4:13:14 AM"

Using %l instead of %I for hours drops the leading zero.
