ok I’m down to getting AR to ignore the field. the field is called  
turing… I have two function stubs…

def turing  
end  
def turing=(temp)  
end

what do i need to do in these two functions to emulate what AR would  
have for column in the DB…

well if someone ever tries to do the same type of thing. maybe they  
will find how i solved this!!

the answer is to add the following

def turing  
@tempturing  
end  
def turing=(temp)  
@tempturing=temp  
end
