f.collection_select :x, query, :y, :z

:x = the value of the select id and name
query = the query sent to the database to return values
:y = the values in the options
:z = what you want displayed in the drop down menu


So if you have a Model that has an alias and an ID you would render it like this

Austio

1. Open a command prompt and navigate to /etc/nginx/ssl

2. Issue "openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.csr" 

3. Get your certificate issued - Go to your certificate authority and give them the CSR (server.csr)

4. Copy your new crt (that the certificate authority issued) to the /etc/nginx/ssl and give it read priveledges

5. Reconfigure your nginx.conf, here is mine.  The first part redirects 80 to 443, the second part listens to 443 and is optimized to return Ruby on Rails application requests using gzip and unicorn.

When should you use DateTime and when should you use Time?

It's a common misconception that [William Shakespeare][1] and [Miguel de Cervantes][2] died on the same day in history - so much so that UNESCO named April 23 as [World Book Day because of this fact][3]. However because England hadn't yet adopted [Gregorian Calendar Reform][4] (and wouldn't until [1752][5]) their deaths are actually 10 days apart. Since Ruby's Time class implements a [proleptic Gregorian calendar][6] and has no concept of calendar reform then there's no way to express this. This is where DateTime steps in:

>> shakespeare = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ENGLAND)
=> Tue, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000
>> cervantes = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ITALY)
=> Sat, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000
