I am not sure about that, but have not got time to test it now. If you have a default scope and then add another will not the :expired scope be applied *as well as* the default, resulting in no records found at all. Also, even if the above does work I think one of the scopes should include the exact equality, otherwise records that are exactly 10.days.ago will not be found by either (not that there will be many as it must be exact to the second I think).
