favorite pattern for adding functionality to an AR?

Do you have a preferred programming pattern for adding functionality to an ActiveRecord? As an example, say I have some gnarly trig functions for distance and bearing between pairs of latitude and longitude:

=== file: latlng.rb module LatLng

def haversine_distance(lat1, lng1, lat2, lng2)    ... end

def bearing(lat1, lng1, lat2, lng2)   ... end === EOF

... and I want to mix in haversine_distance(other_ar) and bearing(other_ar) methods into an ActiveRecord. The shim functions would look like this:
