Correcting timestamps to DB

I generated a scaffold. There I notice that the published_at component is 1 hour behind. The component displayed 2012-May 8 13-34 when it's supposed to be an hour ahead.

In sqlite, the published_at time is shown as 2012-05-08 19:34:00.000000. Also the created_at and up_dated_at are off as well. created_at: 2012-05-08 18:34:02.795241 updated_at: 2012-05-08 18:34:02.795241

My configs:
config.time_zone = 'Eastern Time (US & Canada)' config.active_record.default_timezone = :local

When I run rake time:zone:local
* UTC -05:00 *
Bogota
Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Indiana (East)
Lima
Quito

But I'm still experiencing the incorrect time issue.

I've been searching but I'm not finding anything solid to a solution. How can I correct these issues so that the values are entered in correctly?

Please help

Thanks in advance.
