In Rails 3 you active Active Relation, where the new query methods 
return lazy "relations" which can be chained.
http://m.onkey.org/active-record-query-interface

That is, instead of Klass.find(:all, :conditions=>...) use 
Klass.where(:conditions=>)

Also look at named scopes and with_scope:
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/NamedScope/ClassMethods.html
http://ar.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html#M000378

Brian.
