so basically what your saying is;

before filter: calc_remaining

def calc_renaming

         #taken query here -- I forget what I did - not at my development 
pc...
         @remaining = @product.qty - @taken

end 


Then call calc_renaming from the two methods I need to figure out what 
remaining is.

Thanks,
Joe
