Rails automatically pluralizes model names when looking for tables. This 
makes sense because you have many (plural) records in a table. :) If you 
want to change the default behavior you will need to put the following 
in your environment.rb file:

ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names = false

NOTE: this will change it for all models.
