A 75-year-old widower of two years emailed me this week seeking dating advice. I'd heard from him twice before.
In January, he asked me about a widow of nine years he'd been introduced to by friends at church. She was 65, and he wondered if the 10-year age difference mattered. I told him no, unless she had a fear of suffering another loss.
He also said she told him she had no interest in being romantically involved. I told him to be patient. They had six dates in six weeks. He said she told him she didn't have the energy to go out more than once per week.
My impression was that he was trying too hard, probably out of loneliness and desperately wanting a mate.
This week, he emailed again: "I'm embarrassed, I went back on dating site OurTime. I found a lovely Christian lady several states from me, 845 miles away (really didn't want that). She is a three-year widow, about my age. First, we messaged on the OurTime website as OurTime tells you to do. Then, we graduated to texting via phone. Now we talk on the phone most every evening.
"She has confessed she was scammed last year for over $190,000," he continued. "She had to file for Chapter 7 and get an equity loan on her home. I was taken back. Red flags went up in my mind. I don't feel she is trying to scam me. She hasn't asked for money. She said most things have been settled with her lawyer, and she will be fine, except she will have to pay back, over the next 10 years, a $11,000 equity loan. The thing that nags at me: why is she still on a dating website after being scammed?
I responded: "Don't be embarrassed about online dating. Just be careful. You asked for my opinion. I am going to be blunt; I don't want you to get scammed. Loneliness is causing you to not think clearly. I see red flags. Has she sent you a photo? Have you talked on Skype?
After only three weeks, you are falling in love or are at least infatuated with an image, not a real person. Until people meet face-to-face, they can't have realistic feelings for each other, only imaginary feelings.
"June is a long way off. If you want to see her, why don't you visit her soon? Do not send this person money for a round-trip ticket. I think you are slowly being reeled into a scam. You even admitted that you suspect that.

Regulars come and regulars go. Sometimes the memories of them linger on, long after the final whiff of their stinky feet in the back of your taxi is gone.
The reality is, you can only tolerate so much of anyone's presence for any considerable amount of time. Not just the guy whose MO was to impersonate a petri dish of party favors doing acid while stoned on another daylong Mission bar crawl.
Although the body odors of long-gone passengers may not inspire much nostalgia, flashbacks of the sweaty-palmed $20 bills I'd shove in my pockets at the ends of his rides can definitely lead to a prolonged search of lost time.
That was my problem, actually, for being too accommodating. And not just with regulars. I've been kidnapped by random passengers several times.
Once, forced into giving this visiting artist a tour of The City at 1 a.m. Literally compelled by her local host, under threat of not leaving the cab without one. Since they were so nice about it and told me to keep the meter running, the only charges I pressed were in my Square app.
Sadly, the problem with good-paying customers is they usually make bad-paying friends. Like the girl who thought rides in my cab were tip-based only.
Or the bartender at 3am, heading to the East Bay just as the DJ clubs were breaking. At a discounted rate. Which I only agreed to on the assumption that tip wasn't included. So when the amount he handed me after dropping him at home got smaller each week, my schedule "suddenly changed." Wife-mandated. You know, to seal the deal.
Another 30 minutes of sardonic banter would pass as we tried to get to the bottom of that discrepancy, while I continuously blasted him for being a Laker fan.
What's the appropriate compensation for that?
Richie and I both knew my shift was all but over. I was just waiting for BART to start running again. And I invariably got SFOs out of Bernal and Noe from National dispatch in the process, because they could see my fixed location on the office computer.
Since we were friends, I didn't mind being her James. Or the Barry White sing-along. Of course, not much compares to 26th and Dolores. She was a twenty spot to Civic Center most Thursdays. Then back home three hours later. A short drive filled with compelling discourse was hard to beat.
Although an easy contender was the occasional round trip from 17th and Guerrero to the 24-hour Walgreens on Castro. Fifty bucks. Every time. Your whole night would change when you got a text from her on a random Wednesday.
"Some extra for waiting," she always said, handing over the money folded four ways.
Regulars come. Regulars go. Some stick around more than the others. Even if just in the deep recesses of your dogged brain, after one too many long taxi shifts. Or, when someone texts you in the middle of the night to say they just spotted your old cab on Mission Street, with another driver behind the wheel.

The Silence is Broken

Amjad Iraqi, a Palestinian citizen of Israel writes thoughtfully of the hysteria of worn out Jewish organizations who have responded to Michelle Alexander's important oped of January 20. They fear their game is up. Simply put, the world has come to see the real and brutal occupation of a proud people.The one-sided and utterly dishonest Israeli narrative of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, the Nakba of 1948, has been shredded and it has now reached the American paper of record, the New York Times
Amjad Iraqi (above) writes in +972 Magazine
For Michelle Alexander's critics, Palestinians don't deserve civil rights. The uproar by Jewish establishment figures over Alexander's New York Times essay in support of Palestinian rights echoes the reactions of white Americans to the Civil Rights Movement decades ago.
Alexander's powerful New York Times essay on January 20 ("Time to Break the Silence on Palestine"), ahead of the commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, was arguably a milestone for the Palestine movement in the U.S.
First, for who wrote it: Alexander, the author of the seminal book The New Jim Crow, is a renowned lawyer and public intellectual respected for her activism and scholarship on racism in the U.S., who cannot easily be dismissed as "fringe."
Second, for where it was written: in a leading mainstream newspaper, which more frequently features op-eds by Israel advocates like Bari Weiss, Matti Friedman, Bret Stephens, Shmuel Rosner, and even officials like Naftali Bennett.
Third, for when it was written: Alexander is the latest prominent Black American in recent months to vocally express — and be targeted for — her solidarity with the Palestinian people, after others like Tamika Mallory, Marc Lamont Hill, and Angela Davis faced similar public outrages and disavowals.
And fourth, for why it was written: to challenge the widespread fear of backlash, held by many progressive Americans, for publicly criticizing Israel and speaking up for Palestinian rights.Your email
The uproar over Alexander's essay came swiftly from Jewish establishment groups and figures.The Anti-Defamation League The American Jewish Committee David Harris, David Friedman, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Michael Oren, Israeli MK and former Israeli ambassador to the U.S all weighed in as expected
Some of them are worth reading in full, if only to witness the hysteria and chutzpah of telling a Black woman how to remember one of the most significant African-American leaders in history, or how to interpret her knowledge of injustice:
As Jeanne Theoharis recounted in TIME this month, the U.S. government, the FBI, and local police forces used heavy surveillance, brutal force, and criminal indictments to undermine King and other Black leaders, viewing their activities as "dangerous," "demagogic," and "treasonous." Polling data and media responses at the time further show that, far from being revered, the Civil Rights Movement was in fact "deeply unpopular" among the white American majority both in the South and the North:
Most Americans thought it [the movement] was going too far and movement activists were being too extreme. Some thought its goals were wrong; others that activists were going about it the wrong way – and most white Americans were happy with the status quo as it was. And so, they criticized, monitored, demonized and at times criminalized those who challenged the way things were, making dissent very costly.
This precisely describes the conditions of the Palestine movement today. Not only are Palestinian rights demands often viewed as extreme in the American public discourse (particularly the right of return), but opposition to Israeli policies face an aggressive political and legal infrastructure designed to quash it. These include new federal and state laws aimed at criminalizing BDS and conflating criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism.
Moreover, the frequent portrayal of Israel as a victim of Palestinian oppression, or that both sides share equal responsibility, is a fallacy disguising the gross asymmetry of the conflict. Explaining why it was disingenuous to tell Black Americans to do more to overcome their inequality, King once told a reporter "it's a cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he ought to lift himself by his own bootstraps." It is just as disingenuous to say that Palestinians have bootstraps to lift while they are subjected to exile, occupation, blockade, discrimination, and silencing of dissent.
As Alexander noted, King was an open supporter of Israel and Zionism in his time. However, it became increasingly difficult for him to reconcile that position with the universal values he promoted. Today, it is even clearer that his belief in justice, equality, and restitution for people under oppression – demands that are at the heart of the Palestinian cause – are antithetical to Israel's goal of preserving Jewish superiority, and to its view of Palestinian nonviolence as equivalent to violence.
It is this realization that has led many Black American activists today – who have followed, built on, and transformed King's legacy – to include Palestinian rights in their struggle for global justice. As Alexander wrote, Israeli practices have become inescapably "reminiscent of apartheid in South Africa and Jim Crow segregation in the United States," and as such, require progressives to be consistent in the values they claim to uphold. The fact that a person like Alexander is adding her voice to this growing movement could further widen the doors for others to follow suit.
Though it is impossible to know what King would believe today, one could guess that he may have been taken aback by how similar the reactions to the Palestinian cause are to white America's reactions to his own. Despite what Alexander's critics claim, the real betrayal of King's legacy is to think that Palestinians ought to remain subservient to Israel's supremacist demands, as if they don't deserve the same rights King fought to achieve for his own people.

A Body Language Expert Gives the Lowdown on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's First Royal Engagement
And love is in the air.
By Olivia Blair
It's only been a few days since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they were getting married, but their job as an official royal couple starts ASAP.
On Friday, the couple undertook their first official royal engagement, visiting the city of Nottingham. They are there to attend a charity event for the Terrence Higgins Trust to mark World Aids Day and Nottingham Academy school where they will meet teachers to talk about the work being done to support children at risk of violence and crime.
The streets of Nottingham were lined with supporters and well-wishers and the couple looked incredibly happy and at ease with each other, while wearing color-coordinated outfits with a beige and navy combo.
A beige theme is definitely happening
Of course, that's just what it looked like from the outside, but body language expert Judi James is here to break down what exactly is going on.
According to Judi, Meghan's "obviously high levels of confidence" - which many people remarked on after the couple's engagement interview - meant there was no indication she would be taking slow and steady steps into royal life. Instead she has truly hit the ground running and her fiancé knows she can handle it.
"After arriving holding hands and moving to linked arm-hugs, Harry was able to work the crowd without a backward glance while Meghan popped back to his side to use loving eye contact and arm-rubs," Judi says.
In the engagement interview, the couple also talked about working together as a team which, again, was evident today by the way they often reassuringly touch each other when out in public. Judi explained that "these constant touch rituals allow the couple to communicate silently as well as re-boot in between crowd chats".
Although the non-Suits fans amongst us are still finding out lots about Meghan, one thing that definitely has been noted is her strong sense of independence. Meghan has a track record of campaigning for global gender equality while also holding down a successful career of her own. Judi says her independent streak was palpable on the royal engagement by the way she went off and met and spoke to the crowds by herself.
"Meghan worked well by herself, popping back up to Harry for some intense re-bonding rituals of touching and hugging before dashing off again to do her own thing."
Prince Harry's awkward hand-in-suit thing was definitely noticed when the royal couple held a photocall to announce their engagement - and when he met Melania Trump, but interpret that as you will - however, Judi says that today that disappeared, possibly because of how much more comfortable he felt by his fiancee's side. Cute!
"With Meghan's often quasi-maternal support he dropped some of the anxiety rituals from the engagement shoot and laughed and joked with the crowd," Judi says. "His odd-looking hand barrier gesture of their more formal photo-shoot at Clarence House had become a much more solid-looking chest-pat.
Overall, the pair look great together and, they put on a display of both chill and unity that Judi reckons we have not seen in the royal family before.
"The pair's even-handed body language and low-key choice of complimentary coats showed them as a team while their constant touching and eye contact signaled a more natural and relaxed approach to being together than we have ever seen in a royal couple before," Judi says.
A bold claim, maybe, but it's one we are here for.

Q: tree.nodeSize() not working in D3 tree graph to inc. the space between nodes I wanted to inc the space between nodes vertically and for that I find out that d3 have nodeSize() from v3 onward , I find out similar questions on stack and fuddles and there everything works fine. But in my case this nodeSize() is not working.
I have created a js fiddle which includes my code but d3 graph is not exactly the same as i have in my dev server bec that includes angular and js calls too but I think that will not affect this size problem . So you can get an idea what I did and why nodeSize() is not working
http://jsfiddle.net/9428byn7/
Edited :
I just find out that nodeSize is also not working in their example http://bl.ocks.org/robschmuecker/7880033
may be bec they are using viewHieght and viewWidth , any solution ?

A: Ok if you read the document:
https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Tree-Layout#size
Its states clearly in the doc:
The size property is exclusive with tree.nodeSize; setting tree.size sets tree.nodeSize to null.
So in your update function in the fiddle(http://jsfiddle.net/9428byn7/) check line 473:
You have written:
tree = tree.size([newHeight, viewerWidth]);

Which nullifies your tree.nodeSize as per doc and as we are seeing it.
so instead of doing the above line instead do:
tree.nodeSize([200,600]);

Working code here.
Hope this clarifies your concern!

Salmon migrate by truck during California drought
By Terence Chea, Associated Press | Posted - June 15, 2014 at 11:42 a.m.
MARE ISLAND, Calif. (AP) — In drought-stricken California, young Chinook salmon are hitting the road, not the river, to get to the Pacific Ocean.
Millions of six-month-old smolts are hitching rides in tanker trucks because California's historic drought has depleted rivers and streams, making the annual migration to the ocean too dangerous for juvenile salmon.
"The drought conditions have caused lower flows in the rivers, warmer water temperatures, and the fish that would normally be swimming down the rivers would be very susceptible to predation and thermal stress," said Kari Burr, fishery biologist with the Fishery Foundation of California.
California has been trucking hatchery-raised salmon for years to bypass river dams and giant pumps that funnel water to Southern California and Central Valley farms.
But this year state and federal wildlife agencies are trucking nearly 27 million smolts, about 50 percent more than normal, because of the drought, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Each spring, the Coleman National Fish Hatchery usually releases about 12 million smolts into Battle Creek, a tributary of the Sacramento River near Redding. But this year, it trucked 7.5 million of them to San Francisco Bay because the drought had made the 300-mile swim too perilous.
On a recent morning, a small convoy of tanker trucks carrying Coleman hatchery fish pulled up to the docks of Mare Island north of San Francisco Bay. There, the trucks unloaded 750,000 smolts that gushed out of long plastic pipes into floating netted pens.
The silvery smolts, just inches long, acclimated to the water in the net pens before Fishery Foundation boats took them out to the bay, where the fish were released and pulled to the ocean by tides.
Trucking the smolts ensures a large number will survive and grow to be the California king salmon prized by fishermen and seafood lovers. But skipping the river journey means the migratory fish won't know how to swim home to spawn in three years.
"Because that imprinting cycle is broken, it's unlikely that many fish will make it back to Coleman. In other words, they stray. They won't find that scent to where home is," said Scott Hamelberg, who manages the Coleman National Fish Hatchery.
The federal hatchery in Shasta County did release 4.5 million smolts into Battle Creek in April after rain temporarily improved river flows. Hamelberg hopes at least a small number of them will return in a few years and serve as broodstock for future generations.
The state-run Nimbus Fish Hatchery near Sacramento usually releases 3 million of the 4 million Chinook smolts it raises into the nearby American River, but this year it's releasing all of them into the bay.
"Because of the conditions this year and the mortality, it's better to put them straight into the bay and get them back in three years," said fish technician Gregory Ferguson, who was herding the smolts in ponds toward pumps that sucked them into the truck tanks headed for Mare Island.
The commercial and recreational fishing industries have been pushing for the expanded trucking program to increase the chances of a decent salmon season in 2016, when the smolts released this year will be adults.
"I actually make my living just trolling for salmon, so it's pretty important for me," said John Terry, commercial salmon fisherman from Aberdeen, Washington, who was unloading his catch at San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf at the start of commercial salmon season. "We need the help."

Blue Raider Debaters to host own 'presidential debate' Oct. 25
Monday night wasn't the final presidential debate after all.
As Election Day quickly approaches, MTSU's student debaters hope to help those voters who've yet to cast a ballot make a more informed decision.
Blue Raider Debaters team captain Mary Choate, center, conducts a recent team meeting in MTSU's Keathley University Center. Seated in front of her are team members Stephen Duke, left, and Ariel Stephen. Team coach Dr. Patrick Richey is standing at top right. (MTSU photo by News and Media Relations)
The Blue Raider Debaters are teaming up with Student Programming and Activities for a special "Think Before You Vote" event, featuring a public "Mixed Plate Debate" at 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 25, in the Parliamentary Room of the university's new Student Union Building.
Attendees will see the nationally award-winning students in action as they conduct a mock presidential debate between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
Preparation is intense and requires hours of research — analyzing a candidate's voting history, reading published statements and press releases, watching news clips — all in an effort to portray the party as accurately as possible. Such dedication should make the event all the more exciting for spectators watching what debate coach Patrick Richey calls an "issues only" debate.
"There will be no ad hominems or mud-slinging," Richey explained. "This will strictly be about what policies the candidate would use and how they would use them."
Smiling, he continued, "This might be the cleanest debate of the year!"
Last fall the team held a Republican primary debate and received enthusiastic support from more than 100 people in attendance, and Richey said he anticipates this year's event to draw a considerably larger crowd. Since the students are studying the candidates so closely, the Oct. 25 debate offers each audience member an opportunity to become a more informed voter.
While the entire group developed topics and questions during practice, the actual debate will be between two team members selected to represent Obama and Romney.
Moderating the event, which should last two hours, will be Dr. Jan Leone, associate dean for the College of Liberal Arts.
Comprising about 30 members from a variety of university programs with ages ranging 17 to 30, the group has achieved a great deal of success in a short amount of time.
The MTSU Debate Team has had an illustrious history, and, like the university, it also celebrated its centennial last year. The team lacked structure in recent years, but last year Richey, who also is the director of forensics for MTSU as well as professor of communication studies in the Department of Speech and Theatre, revived the group.
"We've come a long way," said team captain Mary Choate. "We pulled the team back up again, and last year, at every tournament, someone at least went to the quarterfinals."
Because of each student's continued dedication and efforts, Choate said she is "confident the team will achieve a lot this year and for years to come."
As the team flourishes under Richey's coaching, the professor said he's proud of all his students and their individual achievements while on the team and after graduation.
"At the end of the day, it's all about them," he said, "what they learn and the benefits they get."
For all potentially interested debaters, the team maintains an open-door policy and invites anyone to participate. While no experience is necessary, a successful debater must be willing to argue, keep up with current events and be open-minded.
Practice is held every Wednesday from 4 to 6 p.m. in Room 312 of the Keathley University Center.
For more information on the "Mixed Plate Debate," visit www.mtsu.edu/events/thinkbeforeyouvote.php. For updates on the MTSU Debate Team,visit www.mtsu.edu/debate or contact Richey at 615-898-2273 or Patrick.Richey@mtsu.edu.

Ear protection is important. The types of protection available ranges widely. Small foam earplugs expand inside your ear and are effective for protection from loud environments such as factories. They block out harmful levels of sound, but they also work great for keeping fluids, such as water, out of your ears.
Damage of the first sort, caused by loud noises, is called sensorineural damage. Damage of the second kind, for which ear protection is just as important, is called conductive hearing loss. Severe ear infections are often run the risk of causing conductive hearing loss. Fluid can accumulate in the area behind the eardrum known as the "middle ear." If this fluid causes an infection, damage to your hearing can result.
Keeping fluid out of your ears while underwater is a must for swimmers and divers. Scuba divers ear plugs and ear plugs for swimming are usually made to just plug up the ear canal, sealing it up tight.

David Lee Roth Officially Cancels Residency Shows
YouTube / TheRothShow
David Lee Roth's sold-out New Year's Eve and New Year's Day performances at the House of Blues Las Vegas were canceled just days beforehand. All of the remaining dates are cancelled as well due to concerns about the rapid spread of the Omicron COVID-19 variant.
Roth remained silent on the matter and just posted on his Instagram an artwork with the words, "A funny thing happened on the way to Las Vegas." The venue organizers confirmed the news to the Las Vegas Review Journal and released a statement saying,
"Due to unforeseen circumstances related to COVID and out of an abundance of caution for those working and attending the shows, the David Lee Roth performances scheduled for Dec. 31, 2021 and Jan. 1, 2022, have been canceled. Refunds will be automatically processed, and ticketholders will be notified directly."
The former Van Halen frontman planned to do his farewell shows at this residency. Last September, it can be remembered when Roth announced in the Las Vegas Review Journal that he's retiring from his career as a rock and roll stage performer saying,
"I am throwing in the shoes. I'm retiring. This is the first, and only, official announcement. … You've got the news. Share it with the world… I've given you all I've got to give. It's been an amazing, great run, no regrets, nothing to say about anybody. I'll miss you all. Stay frosty."
After the death of Eddie Van Halen, Roth was concerned about his own health issues thus the reasons behind the decision.
"I am encouraged and compelled to really come to grips with how short time is, and my time is probably even shorter," Roth explained adding, "And my doctors, my handlers, compelled me to really address that every time I go onstage, I endanger that future."


A participatory art collective that makes 'tools for the world to take over itself'.
In 2006, Mikey Weinkove and I set out to bring spontaneous public conversation to street corners, festivals, nightclubs, and schools. We turned Mikey's Talkaoke project into a successful small business, providing a mobile chat-show as a public service. That was the first of our artworks for which we developed sustainable economic models.
Our 'Zero Sum Culture Business Model' aimed to build our existing social and professional networks into an infrastructure for innovating, shaping and deploying new techniques and technologies for conversation, and then turning these into viable products for ongoing micro-social enterprises. After leaving the collective in 2010, I wrote about some of these ideas in Geoff Cox and Tatiana Bazichelli's new book on Disrupting Business.
Now run by Mikey and Rick Sleiman, the collective continues to do amazing work developing participatory models for art, culture, technology and conversation.
The People Speak Team: Mikey Weinkove, Rick Sleiman, Asia Bas, Wojciech Kosma, Zoba Ezeh, Zsolti Balogh, Clare Maloney, Mohammed Jaffar Ali, Jesse Darling, Hektor Kowalski, Pernille Kølbaek, Kate Fenhalls, Olivia Errey, David Weinkove, Rowan October and the many others who contributed to the projects we worked on together.
Crucial advisers, supporters, heroes and friends who helped and believed in us early on included Dan Firth, Bob Watson, Emily Druiff, Jörg Baach, Frankie Pagnacco, Nikki Adamson, Ed Gillespie, Tim Aldcroft, Fiona Fieber, Kat Nilsson, and Rhidian Davis.


Today I returned the Madass to Dennis. It has been a fun weekend of driving the zippy Madass around the city over the weekend. Why two names? Officially Sachs Madass 125 has been rebadged by Mofaz and its called Momos 125.
The oil is from my Proton Wira, fixed already. Raining when I shot the photo! So had to shoot in the drivewayThe bike is relatively easy to drive. Clutch was relatively easy to handle. Had to get used to going from standstill.
Love the rear suspension Sachs ? Honda? Single rear shockThe rear shock gives it a really modern racer look.
Fuel Cell / BodyMost bikes have their fuel cells under the seat, on the Madass 125 its part of the framework. Genius! But when filling, make sure fill it slowly as it tends to spill.
MeterVery basic display with cool blue back light. It reads the trip, total mileage and speed. Thats it! There is no indicator on what gear your on. The fastest I dare to go was around 86kmph. Dennis says it will hit 100kmph+ easy. I'm happy with cruising at 75kmph.
Another cool feature about the bike is its front and rear ventilated disc brakes.
Rear ventilated disc brakes Front Disc Fuel Cap HeadlampsAnother visually pleasing feature of the bike, it's projector headlamps! It looks good and is very effective! The upper one is for normal lights, the lower one is for high beam. The lower one also doubles as small light. When I drove around at night with the lights on it was very focus and effective with good visability. And the light did not spill all over.
I had a good time riding the Madass. At around RM 6,500.00 OTR. Its not really expensive if you compare with other 125cc's in the market. But I'm not sure I would buy one, as I like to be in the comforts of my car with my DIY audio & air conditioning. And no need to deal with smelly exhausts from trucks and busses. I do enjoy riding around and exploring my neighbourhood. Which makes me think, I'll probably be buying a bicycle instead. Maybe.
Its been nearly a decade maybe more since I rode on a motorized two wheeler. Even back in the day I didn't have to deal with driving with a clutch system.
Madass 125First of all, I do not own this bike. It's a loaner from Dennis, the ex-owner of the Yamaha R1 which was used by Jacqueline in one of my previous portrait shoot.
Secondly, this machine is a beauty. It's really outstanding in terms of looks & styling.
Thirdly, it is very easy to ride. Very forgiving machine.
I just did about 50 km around the city. My arms is abit sore because it has been a while since I rode a bike. Trying to get the hang of it. Going to neutral took me a whole night to finally figure out the sweet spot.
Normally when your driving you do not really feel the road as your enclosed in the cabin of the car from the outside world. You switch on the radio and air conditioning. The only cues of the environment is sight n sound. I do not usually waste time cruising around town, but on the madass with the wind in your face, I would like to explore more of the city.

Q: How to filter admin options by a user attribute? I have a model with a foreing key to a model called Country.
Each time I edit my model in the admin, when diplaying the country option I see a lot of contries. I'd like that option list to be pre filtered by a user attribute (user.get_profile().continent for example).
Where can I hook it?
Thanks

A: Check http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/ - "ModelAdmin.formfield_for_choice_field()"
class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    def formfield_for_choice_field(self, db_field, request, **kwargs):
        if db_field.name == "country":
            kwargs['choices'] = get_country_choices_for_continent(request.user.get_profile().continent)
        return super(MyModelAdmin, self).formfield_for_choice_field(db_field, request, **kwargs)


Less imported candy, more tropical fruit.
Everybody would like to cut back on preservative-packed, sugar-loaded candy and snacks and eat a healthier diet wouldn't they?! In Torba, a province of the South Pacific island archipelago of Vanuatu, a ban on junk food will take things to the next level.
The province, which comprises the Torres and Banks islands, is planning to stop imports of western foods in an effort to increase dependence on the regions natural resources and prolific agriculture. "At the moment we have an infiltration of junk food from overseas," Father Luc Dini, who heads the local tourism council, told The Guardian. "It is easy to boil noodles or rice, but they have almost no nutritional value and there is no need to eat imported food when we have so much local food grown organically on our islands."
Fish, shellfish, taro, yams, paw paw, and pineapples are among the plentiful local food options says Dini. And farming or fishing for them provides work for locals; the majority of Torba's 10,000 residents are subsistence farmers. And yet currently some of the most popular foods are imported candy, rice, and cookies.
Luckily, Dini says that, because Torba is the northern part of Vanuatu and more or less isolated, the area has managed to remain relatively healthy. This ban will be the way to ensure that this remains the case. "In other provinces that have adopted western diets you see pretty young girls but when they smile they have rotten teeth, because the sugar has broken down their teeth," Dini said. "We don't want that to happen here and we don't want to develop the illnesses that come with a western junk food diet."
It remains to be seen how locals and tourists are going to respond to the ban, that variable definitely isn't stopping Dini and other government leaders in Torba from setting lofty goals in the interest of public health. Right now, the plan is to get foreign food bans implemented within the next two years and by 2020, Torba aims to be Vanuatu's first totally organic province. That's quite a commitment to wellness.
