</div>

update\_attribute(:accepted,true) is calling  
accepted\_with\_create\_curated\_video=

update\_attribute(:accepted\_without\_create\_curated\_video,true) is  
calling accepted=

No where is :accepted getting set to true.

Any ideas? What is the way to write a setter that is  
alias\_method\_chained ??

xo xo,
