>>> HRActionEvent.objects.all()[1].time
datetime.datetime(2009, 2, 4, 11, 13, 35, 588976)
>>> serializers.serialize('xml', HRActionEvent.objects.all()[1:2])
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<django-objects version="1.0">
 <object pk="655" model="hrdb.hractionevent">
  <field type="DateTimeField" name="time">2009-02-04 11:13:35</field>
  <field to="hrdb.hraction" name="action" rel="ManyToOneRel">13</field>
