First - in the subject I said "after_save" but meant "after_create"
but the issue is the same.  I think I may have just figured it out,
but perhaps you could verify.  I have a project model and events
models.  When I create a project, I loop through an array that creates
default events.  I noticed that all the events were getting created
twice. Here's the Project model:

class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :events
  after_create :after_create

  def after_create
    ## create my default events
  end
end

The problem, I think, is that after_create is called automatically,
and you only need to have the "after_create :after_create" line if the
callback is named something besides callback event.  Once I took out
the "after_create :after_create" line, it seemed to work.  I didn't
try it, but I suppose I could have left it in but named the method
something besides "after_create" like "add_default_events."

So is what I have said correct?

Thanks for taking the time to help me with this.
