D800E vs D3
A quick question for which I need help with an opinion.
When shooting indoors at high ISO (say 3200+) and high shutter speed (1/500th), given the same lenses etc, does the D800E perform better , worse, or the same as a D3 with respect to image quality, and noise ???
There are a number of comparisons to the D3s here....but not the D3.
This may help me make some tough decisions as I head into the fall.
#1. "RE: D800E vs D3" | In response to Reply # 0ericbowles Nikonian since 25th Nov 2005Tue 21-May-13 08:45 AM
DxOMark provides a good comparison of performance of the two cameras. Both are very good with an edge of about 1 stop to the D800E for Noise and Color. Dynamic Range and Tonal Range are very close to the same with a slight edge to the D800E.
The differences would be very hard to observe visually.
If you're needing high shutter speed, AF and frame rate may also be factors. I'd give the edge to the D800E for AF and the D3 for frame rate.

Thanks....not actually looking to buy one instead of the other. Looking at the solid results now (from my D3) and their ability to please my clients. My clients love the hockey and basketball images I get them now at ISO 3200, so if they are similar, this D800E may be the ticket for me. Frame rate is never a big deal for me. I seem to get the stop action images I need with 2-3 frames.
My thinking is I can save $3 G's over going to a D4, and get great crop ability for shots across the ice when using a 70-200. PLUS I get a sweet new camera for my personal photography like landscapes etc.
I have been very, very pleased with my D3...and really don't need anything better to maintain and grow the business. I think the D800E would be a nice second body.
Many thanks again.

At reasonable print sizes, I find the high ISO performance is virtually identical between my D800e and my D3s. Color and dynamic range are better with the D800e, and the sharpness is simply amazing. ANd you get all those pixels to crop…

The CROP is the part that intrigues me. So if the D3s and D800E are similar in high-iso performance, I think this makes my mind up....because the D3s is BETTER than my D3.
This year's business capital investment is a D800E and an Epson 3880 to replace a 2880 that has been a tank for the past 4 years. What a job it's done producing thousands of prints without a hiccup.
Thanks all that gave advice. Appreciated.

This has certainly not been my experience at all. My D3s completely trumps my D800 at ISO 1600 or above. It focuses faster and it has less noise. Now below ISO 1600, the D800 is a DREAM. I also skipped the D4 in lieu of the D800 for much the same reasons you are considering. It's a phenomenal camera. Honestly, if I was just shooting sports, I'd probably have gotten the D4. If I was just shooting studio and portraits, I'd have only considered the D800. But in truth, the first camera out of my bag in most instances these days is the D600. Better ISO performance than the D800, WAY better resolution and color than my D3s.
This is not to say that the D800 cannot shoot at ISO 3200. I have done so and have been generally ok with the results. I am picky. I cannot compare to the D3 because I don't have one and have never used one.
Best of luck.

Interesting dilemma. If 2-3 frames are shot at continuous high the D3 might get 3 shots of the same action during a moment in time when the D800 could only get 1 or 2. D3 9fps ~ 0.11 seconds interval between shots vs D800 4fps ~ 0.25 seconds, as a rough approximation of course. You could use DX crop plus the MB-D12 grip to get up to 6fps ~ 0.17 second intervals. I really depends on your technique whether it would affect capturing fast action. Comparing at the same output size, the D800 has better image quality. Whether your clients will notice it is another issue.
#6. "RE: D800E vs D3" | In response to Reply # 0
Having used the D3 extensively at ISO settings up to 6400 and owning a D800e the difference in noise is so small as to be no concern at all. I get greater variation based on the color temp of the light source and the reflectivity and color of the clothing and skin of my subjects.
Autofocus is markedly better with the D800e in low light situations.
The drawback to the D800e is that in many situations the 36MP is overkill and 95% of the time the image files from the 12MP D3 camera are every bit as good.
There are no indoor situations that come to mind where the D800e camera's greater resolution is going to be important and a benefit. It also needs to be used with care as if 15 shots are done with RAW capture in quick succession it will fill the camera's buffer and then it takes a full 15 seconds to clear before you can resume shooting. The camera was not designed for event or action photography so this is not really a flaw but simply a characteristic of the camera.

Rent or borrow a D800 for a session to see if it is better for your needs. If viewed with the same dimensions and distance a print should be better in noise, color and dynamic range, plus metering and low like AF should be better with the D800. But is it better in your shooting conditions? Rent and find out.

Thanks all...
YES...the solution I need to look at is rental of a D600 and 800e during a shoot, to figure which is best for my application. I will continue to use my D3 (at least for this coming hockey season) and then look at a D4 or maybe even a D4s/x when available. Make no mistake the old D3 runs like a champ and has produced some superb images at 3200 and 6400. It has never once missed a beat.
Obviously there are a lot of factors to consider......things like how does the camera handle white balance, autofocus in arenas etc. As for burst rate, like I mentioned I almost never have to use more than 2-3 bursts to capture my image.
Thanks again.

I have a D600 and D800. I may be getting an e soon.
If so, it will be the D600 that goes.
I don't like the narrow grip.
It hurts my fat fingers.
I can shoot a D800 longer before getting tired.
When shooting an Event, I prefer the Medium size images of the D800
to the Large, Fine JPEGs of the D600 even though they are slightly smaller.
The D600 does focus well in poor light at ISO 6400,
but I cannot tell the difference from a D800.
Both cameras need to be hand held more steady than a D3 or 4.
More Pixels show user error mo beta.
Try increasing the shutter speed.

Skip to comments.(Marine) Ex-cop boots OWS heckler from congressman's swearing-in
Posted on 11/14/2011 3:44:15 AM PST by lowbridge
Meet New Yorks newest hero.
Kevin Hiltunen, a former NYPD officer, yesterday grabbed an Occupy Wall Street demonstrator by the collar and dragged him out of a Queens school where hed been heckling US Rep. Bob Turner at the congressmans swearing-in ceremony.
I guess you could say I sorted him out, said Hiltunen, 48, his jacket and tie barely mussed after dragging the scruffy protester out on his rear end.
All I was doing was trying to stop this historic occasion from being disrupt-ed. There is a time and place to exercise your First Amendment rights, said Hiltunen, of Bergen Beach, Brooklyn, who was identified by people at the ceremony as an ex-Marine.
This was not the time or the venue, Hiltunen added.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
"Bob Turner has sold out Queens and Brooklyn voters by voting for the [South] Korea, Colombia and Panama free-trade agreements which will outsource 219,000 U.S. jobs to sweatshops,"
That may be a sentiment that his harmful economically, but it is certainly not Marxist, anti-American drivel.
Man, ya just gotta smile when you see that photo! A manly man TCB; I love it!
(You've got to wonder what kind of parents raised this kind of OWS trash. I remember when parents' goals for their kids was to become productive members of society. The olden days, I guess.)
That is a well reasoned post, thank you, for providing that legal definition. Now, what is the law in New York concerning that matter. The article mentions no arrest (citizens' or otherwise) of the protester for a crime, was he later charged?
You are advocating "the heckler's veto," which effectively DENIES the free speech of those who were trying to speak before the heckler took over.
"The heckler's veto" has never been held to be a 1st Amd right.
Well, if your questional is vague, then so will my answer be. Constitutionally/legally.
Anyone else notice how much like the Westboro Baptist Church bunch these OWSers look?
how is the exmarine on disability? he has possibly dishonored himself with retirement fraud
the problem is he's an excop because of a disability. so he gets paid to not work but is able to throw out a heckler. retirement fraud. he can't work behind a desk? what's his disability? it takes 20 yrs to retire. why couldn't he work the last 5?
How do you heckle someone at a public meeting on public property? Or was this a private meeting on private property, or a private meeting on public property? Or is there a specific law in New York that prohibits protesting at public meetings? I specifically asked that, and have repeatedly stated that if the protester broke a law, that the situation is different, in that I would agree with a citizen's arrest.
I have never heard of a "Heckler" except in a private meeting, and usually on private property, or where the "heckling" (specific activity) was a criminal behavior (ie. at a public meeting with a permit, warranting "disruption of a public meeting" etc.) The details make or break the argument of whether or not one or both of these men should be criminally liable for their actions.
You know what, he's not a cop. Let the scumbag file a police complaint for assualt and let's see what a jury of this man's peers says about it.
I am sick and tired of everyone walking on eggshells around disruptive filth who BANK on decent people being cowards in order to abuse us on an almost daily basis.
My only regret in this story is that the Marine did not stomp a size 11 mudhole into this filthy punk's chest.
Oh, swell, we just hear from one of the two bleeding heart liberals in Oklahoma!
And you know that you cant possibly argue that he has the right to remain in that room while violating everyone elses right to observe the ceremony in peace ..
And if you think you can support that protestor then you obviously stand in support of the Code Pink protestors who attempted to disrupt Sarah Palins V.P. nomination speech by rushing the stage in Minnesota back in 2008 ..
His freedom of speech ended at that time when he was trampling the freedoms of the others present.
I'd have held the door open for the Marine. Then I'd have sworn up and down the OWS idiot said something about needing fresh air before passing out and becoming incoherent. The Marine was just helping him outside so he could recover...
Sometimes a man is "the authority". A man does not call his wife, lawyer, HR Department or anyone else for authorization to do the right thing.
He didn't ask permission. He just took it. Take it up with the authorities and file a complaint. OWS didn't ask for permission. They just took it.
The knee jerk, automatic appeal to an external authority for the adjudication of a civil conduct issue is the hallmark of an immature, emotionally and intellectually stunted and dependent populace.
Grown ups self-police and self-regulate their communities. A man in full, and a community of such, has little to no need of the state in their lives.
You've been well governmentally educated grasshopper.
Hang around here a while longer and you might get your eyes opened.
You seem completely oblivious to the intent here.
Weismann showed up specifically to disrupt a lawful event, as evidenced by his prepared sign. He was left alone as long as he was quiet and respectful.
But when he started actively disrupting the event with his yelling, he was engaged in unlawful activity, as shown by the definition shown in a previous post.
His "right" to disrupt does NOT trump the rights of everyone else. His actions were, in fact, illegal.
And a nearby Marine "sorted him out".
Semper Fi.
Actually, the poster gave a generalized description of a legal term, which does not necessarilly represent the Law in New York, though I asked if New York as that law, and if it applies in this situation. No answer yet.
"His actions were, in fact, illegal."
What was the law? Was he criminally charged, and, if so, who arrested him?
OK, if you say so. The FACT is, our Republic is being stolen away from us a bit at a time, by the very ilk of creature that man hauled out of that inauguration. It has been said the Constitution is not a suicide pact. The freedoms it enshrines are being used against us and we are lying down for it.
"The knee jerk, automatic appeal to an external authority for the adjudication of a civil conduct"
Let me know where that came from, or is it wishful thinking?
"The freedoms it enshrines are being used against us and we are lying down for it."
Thankfully, assault isn't one of those freedoms, but some people think it is.
Love it! What a great picture.

The protester was engaged in criminal conduct. It is not likely that he would get very far in any kind of civil tort action.
That pix is going to be iconic.
Are you saying Weismann's actions were totally acceptable? And there has to be a specific written statute in force in a specific locality before anyone is justified in taking corrective, restorative action?
Illegal acts are rarely followed by actual arrest, unfortunately. Which is what the left depends on.
I, sir, do not wish to be ruled by the warped interpretation of Constitutional rights by those who would trample the rights of everyone except themselves. You can do as you wish.
I agree with you.
I cannot believe the amount of people in here who feel that we should just allow punks to come into places and disrupt speakers without making our own feelings known.
When America gets to a point where people cannot have a meeting without disruption the turds are winning.
If this clown wanted to speak he should find his own forum.
Lawyers and people who bait others to get a response that can be prosecuted are pussifying our country.
Real Americans are getting sick of this BS.
Dragging a disruptor out of a ceremony is hardly assault. Perhaps the disruptor should have been allowed to just 'do his thing' ad nauseum'.
Oh, I know, the police, yeah thats it, call them. So they can stand and watch that person 'exercise his rights' to speak out against Gov't.
Again can anyone answer how the ex-cop is on disability? Seems to be 2 problems here. The protestor and the disability fraudster
The people whose rights were being violated were the ones whose ceremony was being ruined by the heckler.
Wonder if you'd say the same thing about assault if it the heckler broke into a ceremony for a black official and started shouting racial slurs.
Thanks Diamond, for clearing that up. I appreciate the time and effort you gave to clear that up for me. That would then shift the discussion to how that situation was then remedied (which I would then agree with a citizens' arrest). I find it odd that he wasn't charged, considering that the police were already on scene (as seen in one of the "draggin" photos at the link). Thanks again, I do appreciate your time and research.
The middle picture is a hoot. The officer seems to be on a scattered run for cover. I don't believe the authorities would have taken any action to have stopped the dragee. That is how all these people have ended up in parks. They didn't ask permission. They just moved in and the authorities are walking on eggshells.
"Are you saying Weismanns actions were totally acceptable?"
Nope, I actually asked for more details of the event and applicable laws. Diamond provided the applicable law somewhere around #80 or so.
"Illegal acts are rarely followed by actual arrest, unfortunately. Which is what the left depends on."
Maybe, but police were already on scene, and thus could have dealt with the matter, in addition to a citizens' arrest if properly performed. So I have to wonder, why no arrest was made.
"I, sir, do not wish to be ruled by the warped interpretation of Constitutional rights by those who would trample the rights of everyone except themselves."
Well said mo.
I say it was a clear-cut case of self-defense. The Marine, being a gentleman, just wanted to take it outside and settle it.
Back in 1776, John Rutledge and the Committee of Safety in Charleston, South Carolina, completely ignored "the Rule of Law" and forcefully removed the English governor of South Carolina, who was lawfully appointed by King George III.
Back then, some people understood freedom and the actions necessary to secure it. And others supported the king's rule of law. They were called Tories and traitors.
Even if it's a public event on public property, do people have the right to disrupt, not necessarily protest, a legally-held public event? I would say no, they don't. If people want to protest by holding signs outside the ceremony or speaking to other protesters, they have that right. No one has the right to disrupt a legally held ceremony. If I went to Obama's inauguration and started banging on things and shouting and screaming with the specific intent to disrupt the swearing in, I should expect to either be arrested or thrown out by the scruff of my neck. Weissman had the right to protest the ceremony, but only so far as to not interfere with it. He did not have the right to disrupt it.
I love the caption "Occupy sidewalk."
This whole thread has gotten unbelievable.
A Marine removes an idiot who had CLEARLY planned to disrupt a legal gathering, and we've got people here who are demanding to know if this action was justified by statute. Common sense, apparently, isn't good enough.
And once someone else has gone to the trouble of citing the specific New York statute concerning this illegality, then he wants to "shift the discussion" as to why there was no arrest. Why not man up and just apologize for jerking everyone around?
And now we have one poster who has already tarred said Marine with the accusation of a false disability, without knowing any of the facts.
That's it for me. It's gotten way too absurd.
Do you know his disability? How does dragging out a loser mean he isn't disabled?
Good, because you weren't paying attention, anyway. You merely decided to try and put words in my mouth, and it didn't work. I said all the way, way, way back in the thread, responding to the "under what authority" question, that I wanted to know if it was a citizens' arrest (and subsequently that that would make a difference regarding the scenario, along with whether the man violate a criminal law). Given the further information, the scenario would now be different if it was a citizens' arrest. So, if your attention span is too fleeting to pay attention, I'm overwhelmed with joy at the prospect of you not addressing me anymore. I don't owe anyone an apology, and I assure you none is forthcoming.
From my first post on the thread:
"Just logged in to say the same thing [re: by what authority]. I couldnt tell from the article, but I was going to ask if anyone knew if the retired officer was performing a citizen[s] arrest (I thought it required 2 people), was part of private security (doesnt sound like it), or someone who assaulted someone else because he didnt like the fact that he spoke during the ceremony."
Why would it matter if it was a public or private event? If the butt head is standing next to me and shouting so I can't hear the ceremony then he is interfering with my rights to listen. No matter whether he touches me or not the volume of his voice is assaulting my ears - just like loud motorcycle pipes are outlawed in some places, loud, obnoxious people have no right to assault my hearing. They become assaultive when they refuse to shut up so I can hear.
And for way too long we have stood quietly and permitted butt heads to bring about this kind of crap. The majority DOES rule and we have let the minority dictate what is acceptable for too long. I have the right to listen and the right to ask that the offensive person leave - I am there for the purpose of listening. If the offender does not leave then do we just disband the entire affair so they can have their "free speech rights" or does the majority take a stand and remove him from our presence?
I go with removal of the offender every time.
And you are not to stop protesters from entering anywhere you are and disrupting you.

Welcome to Our Cyber Kennels!
~Informative Information~
Owner/Breeder: April A.
Cullman, AL
Our Kennel Setup
We have recently moved to Cullman, AL, and we didn't bring the original building with us. We are now in the process of building an entirely new kennel for our Boston terrer babies. This Kennel will take a lot of time and money to build. Our kennels are in the works as of now... We have decided to do indoor/outdoor kennels with covered runs for our babies. We will eventually add a building for our whelping/bath area, and another set of runs... Everything is going to be so perfect for our Beloved Boston Terriers. We have the first part of the kennel nearly complete... We have to finishthe first set of runs by adding lighting in each one. Plus, we added a play/exercise area to keep our babies safe and give them added time to get out and play...
Also We would like to add that all our Boston Terrier Babies are Currently being Born and Raised Indoors Inside our Home Until Our Building is up, and the Whelping Area is Complete! Below is some pictures of where your baby will be born and raised until pickup time!!!
~About Us~
I would like to start by telling you about myself and how it all started. My name is April and I am the owner/breeder here at Argo's Kennels. I was raised with animals all my life and came from a long line of animal lovers. As a matter of a fact I have family who are also breeders. (Rhodesian Ridgebacks).
I always wanted to have a job working with animals, so I took a career course in Animal Health Technology, and earned a degree, but over the years after building websites and receiving the website award, I decided to take my career path in a different direction. I have since earned an Associate's Degree in the IT Technology - Web Design.
My aunt Willma gave me my first pure bred pit bull puppy back in 1996.
In 1997 Chance had a beautiful litter of 3 puppies and I fell in love with a solid white male pup that I called Ozzy. They started it all for me.
I later started showing in conformation shows.
Things were going wonderfully for the first several years.
Things later took a turn for the worst when my life had major changes. I was not given a choice but to stop raising my dogs until after I married my wonderful husband in 2003.
After a couple of years I talked with him about getting back into raising dogs.
Due to the lack of space and the large challenge raising pit bulls I decided to go with a smaller breed of which after several months of research; I finally settled on the Boston Terrier.
Boston Terriers are one of the bulldog breeds, but absolutely adore to be around people which makes them a wonderful family pet. They do have bad habits such as snoring, farting, and can be hard headed. They are small and compact with a sleek muscular body and have extremely strong jaws. They do not require much exercise; yet are tough little dogs that are rough; tough; and tumble.They love the attention of their human companions, and would just assume laying around to get petted while you sit and watch television on the couch. They are very flexible and would also love a run around the yard, or to play fetch or tug of war. They love people and get along with other pets.
Even though some of our dogs have AKC Papers, We don't register any puppies through AKC.
Answers to Why We Don't Register AKC?
What does the term 'AKC registered puppies' really mean? Learn what AKC registration papers and pedigrees really mean ¢ and DON'T mean.
AKC Registered Puppies (Are AKC Papers Important?)
At some point, if you're talking to an unknowledgeable breeder, you're likely to hear something like this: "My puppies come with AKC papers and a pedigree!"
They expect you to respond with an awed whistle.
Here's a better response: O yay.
Now, you might be surprised to hear this, because you probably thought that AKC registered puppies meant good quality. That's what the AKC would like you to believe. But it's not true.
The truth about AKC registered puppies is this:
ĢThe AKC will register any puppy whose parents are registered.
ĢThe AKC registered those parents because their parents were registered.
ĢAnd so on.
AKC registration is a mechanical process, a chain of numbers.
You send the AKC money. If the owners of your puppy's parents and grandparents were all good doobies who kept the chain intact by sending in their own money, the AKC will add your puppy to the chain, sending you a piece of paper with a number on it. Voila . . . your puppy is registered.
As Dr. Herm David, Ph.D. says, "The AKC has an infinite supply of numbers. It's a good business to be in." "What about a pedigree? Doesn't a pedigree mean good quality?"
'Fraid not. Send more money, and the AKC will access their database again and spit out the names of your puppy's parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, as many generations as you're willing to pay for. Voila . . . your puppy's pedigree.
A pedigree is just a list of doggy names.
Fat purple dog Registration papers and pedigrees don't tell you a single thing about a dog other than its place in the chain of names.
To get registration papers or a pedigree, a dog doesn't need to meet any qualifications of health, temperament, behavior, or sound structure.
None whatsoever. A dog can be sickly, vicious, obese, ears pointing every which way, EVEN PURPLE ¢ and the AKC will issue the exact same kind of registration number they give to the Best of Breed winner at the Westminster Kennel Club show.
"Good grief! And here I thought AKC registered meant good quality!"
Don't be fooled. Registration papers don't suggest quality in a dog any more than they suggest quality in a car. Does buying a car with registration papers mean it won't be a clunker? Of course not.
In fact, registration papers suggest quality in CARS more than in dogs, because in most states a car can only be registered if it has at least passed a smog/pollutant check and often a mechanical safety check.
The AKC registers dogs with no health or safety checks at all.
Hopefully you will never again make the mistake of believing that the existence of AKC papers or a pedigree has anything whatsoever to do with a puppy's quality. AKC registered puppies with pedigrees is just not a big selling point, no matter how loudly a breeder trumpets it in his classified ad.
"But papers at least guarantee that a dog is purebred, right?"
Boy, I'm really beginning to feel like the bearer of bad news here!
Purebred dogs No. Being purebred has nothing to do with registration papers. Pure bred means that a puppy inherits the limited combination of genes that have been "fixed" in the breed's gene pool. This limited set of genes is what makes the puppy grow up to be a certain size, have a certain type of coat, color, etc. Since those genes are the only genes his parents have to give, they're the only genes the puppy can inherit.
Thus, a "pure bred" dog must inherit genes for smallish size, brown/black/white color, floppy ears, a short coat that sheds, etc. Those genes are fixed in the breed's gene pool ¢ there are no other choices.
That's what makes a dog purebred ¢ inheriting genes from the fixed gene pool of his breed. The presence or absence of registration papers has no effect on those genes.
In fact, a dog can have registration papers, yet still not be purebred.
It's true. A dog can have registration papers, yet not be purebred, because his registration papers can be falsified. Most registries, such as the AKC, operate primarily on the honor system. They simply take the breeder's word for it that "King" and "Queen" were really the parents of Solomon.
But scams happen all the time.
1.Let's say Dishonest Dave has two purebred Boxers with registration papers.
2.The female is accidentally bred by a stray dog of unknown ancestry.
3.Dishonest Dave is unwilling to give up the $600 he could get for "AKC registered Boxer puppies" so when the litter arrives, he simply fills out the litter registration paperwork ¢ claiming that his BOXER was actually the father.
4.The AKC will dutifully mail him a packet of Boxer registration papers for each puppy, which he will happily pass along to the buyer of each puppy....collecting his $600 as he does so.
5.And no one will be the wiser until the puppies grow up and start to look suspiciously non-Boxerish.
Fortunately, the AKC has a new DNA testing program now, where participating breeders submit DNA samples of parents and puppies, which conclusively proves parentage. If you want to be sure of who your puppy's parents really are, look for breeders who participate in this program.
And always remember that GENES make a dog purebred. The presence or absence of registration papers doesn't change the genes inside a dog. He can be purebred without having papers ¢ and sadly, he can have papers without really being purebred.
"So are papers and pedigrees worth anything at all?"
Oh, yes ¢ let me explain. Many purebred puppies are offered for sale without papers, or with papers but no pedigree, or with only a short 3-generation pedigree (which is virtually worthless). These sellers will tell you that you don't need registration papers or pedigrees if you just want a pet. Papers and pedigrees, they say, are only necessary if you want to show or breed your dog.
This is absolutely false.
Registration papers and pedigrees are the only way you can determine whether a puppy you're considering buying has been inbred too much.
Excessive inbreeding can result in serious health and temperament problems as a puppy matures. Excessive inbreeding is one reason that so many purebred dogs are unhealthy and/or mentally unstable.
So you really DO want papers and a pedigree with a purebred puppy ¢ not because their presence indicates a good quality dog, but because their ABSENCE means you can't evaluate this puppy for inbreeding/linebreeding and thus you won't know how much he is at risk for developing health or behavior problems as he grows up.
To make matters worse, anyone who offers purebred puppies for sale without registration papers or pedigrees obviously doesn't know about any of this.....so what ELSE has he done wrong in breeding and raising this puppy? When you reward ignorant breeders with money, they'll just keep on doing what they're doing ¢ we don't want to encourage that, do we?
So now you know a little about registration papers and pedigrees and how they can be very helpful.
What We Breed For!
Breeding for #1 Temperment.- Because we have children in our home, and several children that come to the house, and because several families have children, our dogs must be well socialized with people and children. (Most Bostons have a rock solid temperment and absolutely adore to be with their humans)
Breeding Secondly for the health and happiness of our dogs - Because we care about the health, condition, and treatment of our dogs and we want our adults and puppies to be as healthy and happy as they possibly can be before, and after they find their new families. Even though we know our puppies are 100% healthy we are always trying to make improvements to make them more sanitary and happy.
Because we feel that it is important for new buyers and possible future buyers to be able to see and be confortable knowing they are getting their new puppy from a healthy happy home; We allow people to see their living conditions at any time.
I also have quite a bit of help, my teenage daughter Tiffany helps out quite alot with everything that goes into keeping our kennel run smoothly... (sometimes, I couldn't do it without her). She helps with the cleaning, feeding, and exercise of all these dogs... My son even like to lay up in the house with a dog in his lap (Against My Husband's better judgement). Tiffany takes them out and walk them and play fetch and tug of war with them.
Thats what makes our dogs so great, By the time they make it to their new homes, they are well-socialized, happy, healthy, and pre-spoiled!!!
A Little History Lesson
Although the Boston Terrier is a cute, compact little dog, and you have decided you would like to be owned by one, it is important to understand the special nature of this little dog and why the breed exists.
The history of the Boston terrier and the Olde Boston Bulldogge are one in the same. Although the Olde Boston Bulldogge is the original type and form, the Boston terrier is well known today as the "American Gentlemen". Both of these two breeds originated from the same dog.
The Boston Terrier was bred down in size from pit fighting dogs of the bull and terrier type. The Boston terrier originally weighed up to 44lbs. The gentlemen that we know today were once pit fighters. In fact their weight classifications were divided into lightweight, middle weight, and heavy weight.
These dogs originated in the city of Boston, Massachusetts, and is one of the few breeds that originated in the United States. The original Boston terrier was a cross between the English Bulldog, and the now extinct English White terrier. Their history can be traced back as far as 1865, to a dog by the name of Hooper's Judge who weighed over 30lbs. He was bred to a smaller female, and their offspring was bred down again to a smaller female. Their offspring then was bred to French Bulldogs to provide the foundation for the Boston terrier. Between 1889 and 1893, the dog that was known as the "roundhead" was then officially called the "Boston terrier" and recognized by the AKC.
By 1915 the Boston terrier was established, and had become the most popular in the country where they were on the top of the registration list. They were on top again by 1920, and 1930 where they remained at the top until 1960.
Even though they are not fighters, they are protective and loyal to their family. Their small size and neatness make them a good breed for apartments. The Boston terrier is intelligent and enthusiastic. This breed is easily house trained, and with time and patience, can learn obedience as well as many tricks. Boston terriers are excellent companion pets for children and the elderly.

Boston terriers are excellent companion pets for children and the elderly.
The average life span of the Boston terrier is 14 to 16 years.
A Look Into The Future!
Our Future Plans Consist of Improving the Health & Make-Up of The Boston Terrier. Because we care about the heatlh of all Offspring produced here at Argo's Kennels and want to produce the healthiest puppies possible. We have done quite a bit of research and were excited about our findings!
Due to the fact that over breeding the Boston Terrier has caused them to have numerous health issues, Some which include breathing difficulty, incomplete eye sockets, and breeding/whelping problems; just to name a few. The Olde Boston Bulldogge is the original Boston Bull breed, which the Boston Terrier was originally developed from. Even though these two breeds are not reconized as the same breed, We plan to use these facts to our advantage in improving the Boston Terrier Breed. With this information, We plan to add an Olde Boston Bulldog or an already existing; Boston Bull which is a Boston Terrier & Olde Boston Bulldogge Cross To Combine with Our Boston Terriers that we have.
This will in turn produce a dog that is healthier dog that has fewer breathing difficulties, complete eye sockets, and easier whelping, not to mention improvements in the health of the breed itself, while maintaining the qualities that we love in the Boston Terrier Breed!
Are These Dogs Able To Be Registered ?
Yes, Because Unlike The Hybrid, These dogs are related Genetically so therefore they will be registered with the UABR. (The United All Breed Registry)
Will we still have pure - bred Boston Terriers?
Yes, We will continue to breed our pure Boston Terriers as well.
In the near future we also want to start raising and Breeding French Bulldogs!
Please Be A Responsible Pet Owner! Educate Yourself Before Purchasing A Puppy!
Don't Drop Your Dog Off at the Pound or Humane Society!
Written By a Shelter Manager!
I think our society needs a huge "Wake-up" call. As a shelter manager, I am going to share a little insight with you all...a view from the inside if you will. First off, all of you people who have ever surrendered a pet to a shelter or humane society should be made to work in the "back" of an animal shelter for just one day. Maybe if you saw the life drain from a few sad, lost, confused eyes, you would help more animals find homes. That puppy you just bought will most likely end up in my shelter when it's not a cute little puppy anymore. Just so you know there's a 90% chance that dog will never walk out of the shelter it's dumped at? Purebred or not! About 25% of all of the dogs that are "owner surrenders" or "strays", that come into a shelter are purebred dogs. The most common excuses: "We are moving and we can't take our dog (or cat)." Really? Where are you moving too that doesn't allow pets? Or they say "The dog got bigger than we thought it would". How big did you think a German Shepherd would get? "We don't have time for her". Really? I work a 10-12 hour day and still have time for my 6 dogs! "She's tearing up our yard". How about making her a part of your family? They always tell me "We just don't want to have to stress about finding a place for her we know she'll get adopted, she's a good dog". Odds are your pet won't get adopted & how stressful do you think being in a shelter is? Well, let me tell you, your pet has 72 hours to find a new family from the moment you drop it off. Sometimes a little longer if the shelter isn't full and your dog manages to stay completely healthy. If it sniffles, it dies. Your pet will be confined to a small run/kennel in a room with other barking or crying animals. It will have to relieve itself where it eats and sleeps. It will be depressed and it will cry constantly for the family that abandoned it. If your pet is lucky, I will have enough volunteers in that day to take him/her for a walk. If I don't, your pet won't get any attention besides having a bowl of food slid under the kennel door and the waste sprayed out of its pen with a high-powered hose. If your dog is big, black or any of the "Bully" breeds (pit bull, rottie, mastiff, etc) it was pretty much dead when you walked it through the front door. Those dogs just don't get adopted. It doesn't matter how 'sweet' or 'well behaved' they are. If your dog doesn't get adopted within its 72 hours and the shelter is full, it will be destroyed. If the shelter isn't full and your dog is good enough, and of a desirable enough breed it may get a stay of execution, but not for long . Most dogs get very kennel protective after about a week and are destroyed for showing aggression. Even the sweetest dogs will turn in this environment. If your pet makes it over all of those hurdles chances are it will get kennel cough or an upper respiratory infection and will be destroyed because the shelter gets paid a fee to euthanize each animal and making money is better than spending money to take this animal to the vet. Here's a little euthanasia 101 for those of you that have never witnessed a perfectly healthy, scared animal being "put-down". First, your pet will be taken from its kennel on a leash. They always look like they think they are going for a walk happy, wagging their tails. Until they get to "The Room", every one of them freaks out and puts on the brakes when we get to the door. It must smell like death or they can feel the sad souls that are left in there, it's strange, but it happens with every one of them. Your dog or cat will be restrained, held down by 1 or 2 shelter workers depending on the size and how freaked out they are. Then a shelter worker who we call a euthanasia tech (not a vet) find a vein in the front leg and inject a lethal dose of the "pink stuff". Hopefully your pet doesn't panic from being restrained and jerk. I've seen the needles tear out of a leg and been covered with the resulting blood and been deafened by the yelps and screams. They all don't just "go to sleep", sometimes they spasm for a while, gasp for air and defecate on themselves. You see shelters are trying to make money to pay employee pay checks and don't forget the board of directors needs to be paid too, so we don't spend our funds to tranquilize the animal before injecting them with the lethal drug, we just put the burning lethal drug in the vein and let them suffer until dead. If it were not a making money issue and we had to have a licensed vet do this procedure, the animal would be sedated or tranquilized and then euthanize d, but to do this procedure correctly would cost more money so we do not follow what is right for the animal, we just follow what is the fastest way we can make a dollar. Shelters do not have to have a vet perform their euthanasia's so even if it takes our employee 50 pokes with a needle and 3 hours to get the vein that is what we do. Making money is the issue here not loosing money. When it all ends, your pets corpse will be stacked like firewood in a large freezer in the back with all of the other animals that were killed waiting to be picked up like garbage. What happens next? Cremated? Taken to the dump? Rendered into pet food? Or used for the schools to dissect and experiment on? You'll never know and it probably won't even cross your mind. It was just an animal and you can always buy another one, right! I hope that those of you who still have a beating heart and have read this are bawling your eyes out and can't get the pictures out of your head, I deal with this everyday. I hate my job, I hate that it exists & I hate that it will always be there unless you people make some changes and start educating the public. Do research, do your homework, and know exactly what you are getting into before getting a pet. These shelters and humane societies exist because people just do not care about animals anymore. Animals were not intended to be disposable but somehow that is what they are these days. Animal shelters are an easy way out when you get tired of your dog (or cat), and breeders are the ones blamed for this. Animal shelters and rescue organizations are making a hefty profit by keeping this misconception going. Between 9 and 11 MILLION animals die every year in shelters and only you can stop it. I just hope I maybe changed one persons mind about taking their dog to a shelter, a humane society, or buying a dog. For those of you that care--- please re-post this to at least one other craiglist in another city/state. Let's see if we can get this all around the US and have an impact.

Utterly Brilliant
By Jessica Sandison • 18th May 2015
As soon as I saw this teapot online I had to have it! And I'm glad I got it, not only did it arrive promptly after I ordered, but it also came extremely well packaged! The teapot looks amazing and pours a good cuppa as well. I'm looking forward to showing it off at the oncoming tea parties! Delighted with this product :)
Beautiful design
By Amelia • 26th April 2015
Purchased as part of the set. Beautiful design, particularly the detail of a 'Drink me' label on the lid. Practically speaking, a pleasure to use, brews a good cup of tea and pours easily. Very pleased with this product.
By Sally • 23rd April 2015
I gave this teapot as a gift so can't comment about how good it is at pouring etc. hence 4 stars, but it was a gift to my sister in Texas and I can say that she was over the moon with it. Style and design is fabulous and delivery couldn't have been better. She is in love with it....just hoping someone might buy it as a gift for me now :)

Alice in Wonderland teapot and 2 mugs
By JA Petley • 9th March 2015
We have had afternoon tea with the pot since it arrived. Friends have commented on them and said they were lovely Thank you for such a lovely item.
Disappointing Packaging
By Debbie Farman • 28th February 2015
The tea pot is lovely. The mugs are fun. I gave them as a gift but unfortunately the gift box, although booked at the same time was sent out separately. Spoilt the present and unfortunately made the addition of the gift box an unwanted and costly surprise. Beware of sending these out as presents. It does not work! Shame.
By tk • 26th January 2015
Great teapot, but lid quite loose that makes it a pain to pour one handed.
Great service
By Daniela • 26th January 2015
I ordered this teapot on a saturday afternoon to be shipped to the USA, alongside with 2 Alice mugs, the teapot mesh infuser and 4 different type of tea. I recived everythinh incredibly quickyly on the wednesday I was already ale to unpack and start enjoy my order. I love the design and the teapot is very big, so I have tea for all the day. I 'd love to have a cream jug in the same design as well. I really do hope the service will be as good next time I'll ored. I was honestly impressed.

By steve james • 24th January 2015
Present for my wife on her birthday, now loved by all in the family. Great quality.
One of those items that genuinely adds to its users experience. A cuppa really is better with the Madhatter and the hare.
Really beautiful
By C Creek • 17th January 2015
I ordered the teapot and a mug and they are both really lovely. I would love a cream jug and sugar bowl in the same design, are they available?
I am so glad I purchased this set.
Excellent product

Alice in Wonderland TPot
By Melinda • 5th January 2015
I purchased the Tea Pot and mugs for my niece for Christmas. It was the perfect gift for someone who has everything. She was thrilled with the gift and will now hold tea party's for her girlfriends. Beautifully made.
By Luca • 2nd January 2015
I intended to take it as a Christmas gift buying it on December 10th. The expedition, however, only part of the 15 and the 20 is still not shipped. They make me wait for days to tell me that my package was lost, and the only solution found an apology and refund request or reorder. I ask him to send it as quickly as possible but do not get response for a week. In the end I had to call and as if they had not created any discomfort they asked me again if you get a refund or shipment that was coming anyway after at least two weeks. REALLY SHAMEFUL.

First Night Flight Using Solar Energy On the Horizon
- Created: Friday, 04 December 2009
Page 2 of 2
The results from the HB-SIA and their analysis will serve to develop and build a second aircraft, the HB-SIB for circumnavigating the word in five stages - each lasting several days - in 2012.
"For over ten years now, I have dreamt of a solar aircraft capable of flying day and night without fuel - and promoting renewable energy. Today, our plane took off and was airborne for the very first time. This is an unbelievable and unforgettable moment," said Bertrand Piccard, President of Solar Impulse. Piccard is also an aeronaut, and made the first non-stop round-the-world balloon flight.

So I did the "easy" switch from blogger to a self hosted wordpress.org. Then the problem was the URL structure. It turned all my custom URLs from blogger into /?=post1 (or something like that)
So then I got a plugin that let me use this for a CUSTOM STRUCTURE:
But then my URLS look like this:
and obviously do not function.
I tried removing the "/" in the custom structure, but that did not work.
Any ideas?

NEIGHBORHOOD x Burton 2015 Fall/Winter Collection
Ronnie Fieg x Puma Disc Blaze "COA"
I can't remember the last time that Ronnie Fieg had done a collaboration that was bad. With that being said we get a first look at the Ronnie Fieg x Puma Disc Blaze "COA" thanks to Ronnie Fieg. Not much was said on his Instagram but just only that he hash tagged the image #coa. We also got a second image showing a pair with a blue toe so this might be two pair release and what sucks is both pairs look amazing so get ready to empty your wallets. Both pairs come in all black but with just the tow in a red or blue. No official release date or price but stay tuned for when we get updates on the Ronnie Fieg x Puma Disc Blaze "COA".

Is the German translation still an open thing here? If yes, I would love to contribute a German translation to the plugin. I'm asking as there already could be a finished German translation but no new release, yet.
I'm just translating what is shown in the frontend, but I could translate everything if there is no German translation, yet.

So we're a few days away from the big Natal event with Cirque du Soleil, and here's my thought. The presentation might actually be cooler than the resulting product. It's airing on MTV, and even if you don't like MS or think Natal is dumb, you should check it out because Cirque is pretty cool. Spoken as a loyal Canadian of course. Now if they do anything like I think they will, there's going to be sensors everywhere and they're going to utilize that paint program they demo'd to do a bunch of cool stuff. Or they'll just all play that red ball game that seems to be the only thing Natal has to offer. Still waiting for that Godzilla game from the original reveal to show up.
When they first revealed Natal, I was amazed, this tech was wild. Actually the tech is still pretty damn cool. The problem is, "What is MS going to do with it." Let's eliminate genres... Shooters, like the Kevin Butler PS3 commercial points out, what are you going to do? Finger Gun? That'd be fun for a couple minutes... maybe. RPG, well this offers more possibilities, swinging sword, drawing bow, etc. but running around would get tiring. Sports games, obviously there are some more obvious applications here; but again, I'm not exactly and athlete , and though I need more exercise, I play video games because I can't throw a football 30 yards. Obviously the list of poor application goes on.
Now, one thing I've thought of, is just because you don't need a controller, doesn't mean you can't use one. It's already been pointed out that Fable 3 will use a combination, and I'm sure that will be shown at E3, so I'm intrigued. It also brings up the possibility of a ton of peripheral controllers. Weird guns and other things with buttons on them, which of course kind of defeats the purpose of controller free. Also, I really don't need any more peripherals laying around my basement. Too many plastic instruments already.
In closing, Natal is a beautiful piece of tech. Nobody can deny that, but it's application to the average-hardcore gamer definitely appears limited. I know I'm not alone in waiting to see if MS proves me wrong.

Cello Sonata, H 32 (Honegger, Arthur)
It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1923 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

In politics words matter and, unfortunately, the misuse of words applying to the Arab-Israeli conflict has shaped perceptions to Israel's disadvantage. As in the case of the term "West Bank," the word "occupation" has been hijacked by those who wish to paint Israel in the harshest possible light. It also gives apologists a way to try to explain away terrorism as "resistance to occupation," as if the women and children killed by suicide bombers in buses, pizzerias, and shopping malls or murdered in cold blood in the the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria were responsible for the plight of the Arabs. Given the negative connotation of an "occupier," it is not surprising that Arab spokespersons and unfortunately irresponsible posters on this web-site use the word, or some variation, as many times as possible when in the former case being interviewed by the press or in the latter case when trying to deligitimise Israel. The more accurate description of the territories in Judea and Samaria is "disputed" territories.
In fact, most other disputed territories around the world are not referred to as being occupied by the party that controls them. This is true, for example, of the hotly contested region of Kashmir or even Tibet in the case of China.
Occupation typically refers to foreign control of an area that was under the previous sovereignty of another state. In the case of the West Bank, there was no legitimate sovereign because the territory had been illegally occupied by Jordan from 1948 to 1967. Only two countries — Britain and Pakistan — recognized Jordan's action but even then did not recognise that country's annexation of Jerusalem. The Palestinians never demanded an end to Jordanian occupation and the creation of a Palestinian state on the West Bank. In fact the PLO called for the destruction of Israel not Jordan.
It is also important to distinguish the acquisition of territory in a war of conquest as opposed to a war of self-defense. A nation that attacks another and then retains the territory it conquers is an occupier. One that gains territory in the course of defending itself is not in the same category. And this is the situation with Israel, which specifically told King Hussein that if Jordan stayed out of the 1967 war, Israel would not fight against him. Hussein ignored the warning and attacked Israel. While fending off the assault and driving out the invading Jordanian troops, Israel came to control the West Bank.
By rejecting Arab demands that Israel be required to withdraw from all the territories won in 1967, the UN Security Council, in Resolution 242, acknowledged that Israel was entitled to claim at least part of these lands for new defensible borders.
Since Oslo, the case for tagging Israel as an occupying power has been further weakened by the fact that Israel transferred virtually all civilian authority to the Palestinian Authority. Israel retained the power to control its own external security and that of its citizens, but 98 percent of the Palestinian population in the West Bank and Gaza came under the PA's authority. The extent to which Israel has been forced to maintain a military presence in the territories has been governed by the Palestinians' unwillingness to end violence against Israel. The best way to end the dispute over the territories is for the Palestinians to fulfill their obligations under the Oslo agreements (and the later Road Map) which call for the dismantling of the terror groups, reform the Palestinian Authority, stop the terror and negotiate a final settlement.

I am grabbing my Dribbble posts by RSS and inserting them as posts with wp_insert_post. This is working great except that rather than create a custom post type, i decided to add them as posts and use a custom taxonomy named "format" to distinguish them from other types of posts. Here's where my problem comes in. 'tax_input' works okay from the taxonomy 'category', but it ignores my custom taxonomy. Here's my code:

My 11 year old DD is begging to go see the Beautiful Creatures movie based on a series that she has already read. Our household rule has been that she has to wait until she turns 12. But, I've learned that most of her classmates/friends have already been given permission.
So, now, I am wondering if we are being too over-protective with our movie rating limits?

Current ReverseManyRelatedObjectsDescriptor implement set method:
- clear all data
- set to new data.
This may cause a huge data changes, especially when using Django Admin, the default M2M field save_form_data() method use the set method to maintain m2m data from form:
def save_form_data(self, instance, data): setattr(instance, self.attname, data)
In most case we just want to add remove a small set data from m2m relaionship list. This patch use another implementation, first it delete all exist rows but not in the new data list, then only add new data which not in database.

patch of set method
comment:1 Changed 8 years ago by mtredinnick
- Needs documentation unset
- Needs tests unset
- Patch needs improvement unset
- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Design decision needed
This change runs a whole extra database query, which is far from zero cost. So each approach is better in different circumstances and there's no way to tell which one will be better ahead of time. Thus a change like this would just be changing things, not a universal improvement.
A better approach would be to track what's changed by tracking the old values before updating them, which has been suggested in another ticket. I'm not convinced that's a good idea for all fields, but it might be worthwhile for the multi-valued relations like many-to-many.
comment:2 Changed 8 years ago by favo <favo@…>
Yes, as you said, it's depends. And it's true the patch need a extra full database query. However when you use it in some m2m widget like the admin ones, you already do a full database query to show all choices. And the patch don't change the exist data(don't like before remove but add later.), this make sense in some situation. In one of my project, we have lot's signal hook with m2m relationship changed(with the help of #5390), each receiver have to run a heavy database logic, so we need this patch do reduce unnecessary changes.
Anyway it's a balance, not a universal improvement, I write here, but part people need it.
mtredinnick, thanks for feedback. But I didn't find the ticket you mentioned?
comment:3 Changed 8 years ago by mtredinnick
The problem is there's no way to tell when this will be better than the current behaviour. So saying "it's an improvement somtimes" doesn't help. It's also a distinct unimprovement in other cases (and is not only used in the admin, so putting in something just for that usage isn't a strong argument). For that reason I'm not in favour of making this change because it's just changing which are the worse cases. It happens it would favour your uses, but somebody's always going to have the bad side of the deal with something like this.
#4102 is the ticket I was referring to, although I'm not sure the implementation there is great because of the additional overhead. However in some cases the general idea may make sense (e.g. m2m fields). Testing and profiling is needed.
comment:4 Changed 6 years ago by orcun avsar <orc.avs@…>
Current behaviour causes m2m_changed signal not to work properly (#13962). Most of times m2m_changed signal is used in Django admin. So m2m_changed signal is mostly useless at this state. Is there a way to detect if a m2m_changed is connected for a model field. This patch may be applied as another save method so Django admin may branch to that method if m2m_changed signal is connected to a receiver.
comment:5 Changed 6 years ago by gabrielhurley
- Triage Stage changed from Design decision needed to Accepted
Given that 1.2 gained signals for ManyToMany relationships, it's worth fixing this properly now. Sending out the correct signals seems like a worthwhile tradeoff for the performance cost of implementation, whichever the correct approach may be.
comment:6 Changed 6 years ago by jonathanmorgan
- Patch needs improvement set
I have some experience with this sort of thing, and would love for the m2m_changed signals to be correctly issued by the admin. I will download the patch and check it out to see what it does, how hard it would be to contribute a fix. One strategy I've used to minimize database access is to create a hidden input that is the list of a given set of relations that is passed with updates, so you can use it to see what has changed since the page was rendered (it can be string-delimited using multiple delimiters, akin to old Pick-style database records which had value marks and sub-value marks, to hold a list of all three keys in each M2M relation when the page was generated). If you did this, you could compare the submitted list against the data structure encoded in this hidden form input to check which needs to be removed, which are new, and which are unchanged. It definitely isn't perfectly thread-safe (though the alternative of hitting the database for that list isn't, either), but it could be an answer if limiting database access is preferable to creating a larger chance of a race condition. You could also add a check for the freshness of that list (a simple count of relations for the current instance might suffice?) and use the passed value if the check passes, or revert to hitting the database if the check fails. If I did this, I'd make the check a separate method (or would love guidance as to the preferred way of making something modular and override-able within django), so that we could refine the implementation of the freshness check later.
In looking at the patch, does the manager already invoke the signals we want invoked as part of its processing? Perhaps I could start by placing that code in my django instance and seeing how the signals behave. At the least, I'd probably add documentation to the patch, and break it out so each line contains a single code task (I must admit to not being very pythonic in that regard - if there is only one thing on a line, then you know if you change that line, you only change that thing - like adding calcium to bones - keeps them tough but flexible).
I have never contributed code to django before, so if this is premature, please help me understand the community norms of where I should begin contributing (probably by proving my follow-through-ness by completing the two documentation patches I agreed to write).

Because __set__() clears and adds, it does a lot of extra work when assignment happens, since each object in the new set has to be INSERTed in the database, even if it's just to add an extra item.
The extra query can be eliminated in _add_items(), which can be told that its list of *objs do not already exist so it doesn't have to check for them.
We've hit this problem with m2m_changed on any ModelForm, so it's not just limited to the admin site.
If there's interest, I can write up a patch that implements this.

comment:13 Changed 5 years ago by jblaine
I'm interested in any patch that will give me access to the new data and operations performed when a model's m2m field is altered. Right now, m2m_changed is totally useless to me, and is actually dangerous as others have pointed out in other bugs related to this one.
Me: Remove 2 relationships from these 200 that are set.
Admin: Okay! I removed 200 things and added all 198 items back that did not match your 2! And I sent not one single pre_remove or post_remove signal''
Me: That's not at all what I said, and it totally matters how you go about it and that your signals+actions properly reflect what is being asked and not reflecting how you went about doing it.
I suspect it's no surprise that I consider this a bug, not a "cleanup/optimization" as it's now categorized :(
comment:14 Changed 5 years ago by carljm
- Type changed from Cleanup/optimization to Bug
Closed #16073 (which was specifically about incorrect m2m signals in the admin, as a result of this) as duplicate. Marking this a bug rather than a cleanup/optimization; previous to the existence of m2m signals it may have been the latter, but at this point the signaling problem makes it a bug.

6707_m2m_set.diff includes a patch that performs the minimum amount of DELETE and INSERT statements for the __set__ method. In addition, I have changed _add_items() so it does not do an extra SELECT if __set__ has already removed duplicates, so we do not perform an extra query.
This patch applies to SVN trunk.

It occurred to me, while writing this patch, that the __set__ methods for ManyRelatedObjectsDescriptor and ReverseManyRelatedObjectsDescriptor are basically the same. Should those two Descriptors be unified into a base descriptor?

This is fantastic, I just wanted to say thank-you very much for writing this latest patch!

I haven't tested this ticket, just skimmed the latest patch. To me it seems this is worth getting into Django, the savings can be pretty large if one regularly does small changes to m2m fields using list assignment.

akaariai: Are there any improvements to this patch that you can suggest?
comment:20 Changed 4 years ago by akaariai
Not anything I spotted immediately. As said, I haven't gone through this in full detail. If you can get somebody to review the patch it would of course be a plus.
I will try to get time to work on this. I can't promise anything, though.

It'd be great to get a core developer to look at whether the suggested refactoring above would be sensible.

Ran into this as well on multiple occasions.
This basically makes the m2m_changed signal almost useless :(

As I understand there is currently no way to determine which values were added to many2many field in the admin?

Any news on this?
We too are bidden by this bug (and it is a bug when a signal is documented but never actually emitted) and would love to see a proper fix.

This bug was opened "6 years ago" and we are still around the "patch". What would it take to get this fixed?
comment:29 Changed 2 years ago by anonymous
Shouldn't at least the documentation for previous versions including version 1.6 be updated to not include the pre_remove and post_remove actions in the m2m-changed signal?

Bitten too.

- Needs documentation set
- Needs tests set
- Patch needs improvement set
There's no documentation yet and I still want to add more tests, but the latest effort for this issue is at https://github.com/django/django/pull/2500.

Resuming work on this issue, I brought the branch up-to-date and drafted some documentation. It'd be very helpful if some of those affected by this issue could give it a try.

I've tested the branch Loic has worked on and my issue still remains. m2m_changed is not triggered when the relationship is altered via a StackInline admin form. No doubt this is a significant bug.

- Summary changed from Another implementation for ReverseManyRelatedObjectsDescriptor.__set__ method to ManyToManyField clears and recreates all data
comment:37 Changed 19 months ago by loic
I've rebased the PR and I'm quite happy with the result.
I checked regarding comment:34 and indeed when M2M are displayed as admin inlines m2m_changed isn't triggered. It's because the M2M field is bypassed and the through table is seen by the admin as a normal model with 2 FKs. That's an orthogonal problem but I added docs about it in the PR.

@Loic is this commit going to be released for Django 1.7 still ??? I am using Django 1.7.8 and i noticed that its not there yet
comment:43 Changed 15 months ago by collinanderson
@psychok7 this is actually considered more of a new feature / optimization, so it's not backported to 1.7. It actually missed the deadline for getting into 1.8 by a few weeks, but it will be in 1.9 which comes out towards the end of the year.
