def delete_past_events(self):
lapsed = datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=<NUM_LIT>)<EOL>for event in self.filter(start_date__lte=lapsed, featured=<NUM_LIT:0>, recap='<STR_LIT>'):<EOL><INDENT>event.delete()<EOL><DEDENT>
Removes old events. This is provided largely as a convenience for maintenance
purposes (daily_cleanup). if an Event has passed by more than X days
as defined by Lapsed and has no related special events it will be deleted
to free up the event name and remove clutter.
For best results, set this up to run regularly as a cron job.
