module ActiveRecord

  # 
  # Active Record automatically timestamps create and update operations if the
  # table has fields named <tt>created_at/created_on</tt> or 
  # <tt>updated_at/updated_on</tt>.
  #
  # Timestamping can be turned off by setting:
  #
  #   <tt>ActiveRecord::Base.record_timestamps = false</tt>
  #
  # Timestamps are in the local timezone by default but you can use UTC by setting:
  #
  #   <tt>ActiveRecord::Base.default_timezone = :utc</tt>
