You can additionally unscope specific where clauses. For example:
```ruby
-Post.where(:id => 10).limit(1).unscope(:where => :id, :limit).order('id DESC') = Post.order('id DESC')
+Post.where(:id => 10).limit(1).unscope(where: :id, :limit).order('id DESC') = Post.order('id DESC')

Dynamic Finders
---------------
+NOTE: Dynamic finders have been deprecated in Rails 4.0 and will be
+removed in Rails 4.1. The best practice is to use Active Record scopes
+instead. You can find the deprecation gem at
+https://github.com/rails/activerecord-deprecated_finders
+
For every field (also known as an attribute) you define in your table, Active Record provides a finder method. If you have a field called `first_name` on your `Client` model for example, you get `find_by_first_name` for free from Active Record. If you have a `locked` field on the `Client` model, you also get `find_by_locked` and methods.
You can specify an exclamation point (`!`) on the end of the dynamic finders to get them to raise an `ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound` error if they do not return any records, like `Client.find_by_name!("Ryan")`
