title: Ember-data bootstrapping model objects
body: <p>When bootstrapping Ember-data model objects with existing JSON that is not from a remote AJAX call, do I have to make the following 2 calls:</p>
  
  <pre><code>App.store.load(App.Account, data);
  var account = App.store.find(App.Account, data.id);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it not possible to create the Object in one step, similar to calling <code>setProperties</code> on an existing Ember object?</p>
  
  <p>Also, how would this work for creating a collection of Ember model objects?  For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var users = App.get('users');
  App.store.loadMany(App.User, users);
  this.set('content', App.store.findMany(App.User, users.mapProperty('id').uniq()));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The above seems wrong. How can I create these objects from existing JSON objects?</p>
