Then for combining media queries you can use Sass::MediaQueryCombiner plugin. Install with command

And for prefixing css3 properties use Autoprefixer

	gem install autoprefixer-rails

To watch changes in .sass files and compile it to the .css on a fly, run this command from \_sass\ folder

	compass watch -c config.rb -e production

Learn more about Sass development from documentation.
