    In the view you can do the following:
<%= f.time_select :start_time,
  :combined => true,
  :default => Time.now.change(:hour => 11, :min => 30),
  :minute_interval => 15,
  :time_separator => "",
  :start_hour => 10,
  :end_hour => 14 } %>

This will create a combined time select starting at 10 AM and going till
2 PM with 15 minute intervals with a default of 11:30 AM. This will set the
value for the start_time attribute on the object this form was created
for.
On the controller side, we need to parse this attribute before we create
a new object. combined_time_select provides a nice method for this
called parse_time_select!. You can use this in your create action just
before you initialize the new model:
def create
  params[:event].parse_time_select! :start_time
  @event = Event.new params[:event]
end

And voila! You're all set.
