now the first feature and specs pass for AlphaEvents, view and model and controller
clean up changes to basic_steps that didn't work out, and remove url_for_me from alpha_event model
unfortunately, I had committed a schema with migrations that were subsequently deleted.  So this schema is good now.
Also, The views are cleaned up to show column headers in a row now, and table contents are moved out of index_header and into index for alpha_events
starting new/create
add test for new page for alpha_events
implement NEW and CREATE alpha_event verb
