The Hindu priest goes on exploiting millions of Hindus in the name of Krishna, in the name of Rama, who cannot be said even to be religious people - there is no question of their being incarnations of God. They have committed everything that is inhuman, ugly. And still Hindus go on worshipping them, because the priest is the mediator between the worshiper and the worshipped - nobody knows whom they are worshipping. The priest knows! The priest pretends to know, and imposes the idea on you that you don't know, so whatever he says has to be obeyed.
In this twentieth century, in India, if rains are not coming, then all over the country jagnas - fire worship - is arranged. Millions of dollars are wasted to feed the brahmins, to pay their fees, because by their ritual.which is absurd - throwing into the fire valuable food, in a poor country which is starving, and repeating mantras from ten thousand-year-old Vedas.
Nobody understands what those mantras mean. Brahmins have been insisting that they should not be written in any language other than the original Sanskrit, because once they are translated you will laugh; they are stupid. And they have no connection with rain. They cannot persuade the clouds to come; there is no relationship at all.
There are mantras in the Vedas.. A brahmin is praying to God, "This year let your clouds rain only in my field, avoid the fields of my neighbors." They are praying to God, "My cows should give more milk, and the cow of my enemy should not give any milk." Great prayers! But in ancient Sanskrit, which is not understood, which has never been used as a language by people.. People have not been allowed to use it. It has never been a living language; it has been the monopoly of the priest.
Out of hundreds of jagnas, rituals, sometimes rains come, and they say, "Look! The Vedas are still significant, they are not outdated. Existence still listens to the prayers."
But out of hundreds of rituals, ninety percent of the time rains are not going to happen. Then they are always ready to say that something has gone wrong. Mantras have not been chanted as accurately, as exactly as they should be. Brahmins have not been fed, have not been given their fees. Something must have gone wrong in the ritual; God is not happy.
I am reminded that when I was in Pune.. Pune has seen its glorious days: ten thousand sannyasins were always there; all the hotels were packed, business was great. Although they were all against me, they never suspected that I am a very unreliable man. One day suddenly I left Pune.
I live in the moment. I don't care for the future. For me the present is enough.
Suddenly I called my secretary and told her, "I want to leave this ugly place - dirty, full of lousy people." Naturally when I left, slowly all the sannyasins left. Now Pune is in ruins.
Just by the Pune commune there was a five-star hotel, the Blue Diamond. Before we reached Pune it was on sale because they were not making money, they were losing. It was a beautiful, big building, but only fifteen percent of the rooms were ever filled. They were not even able to pay the servants, the manager. When we were there, the Blue Diamond was overfull.

Hansen's hat trick, Miller's 24 saves lift Canucks over Blackhawks 4-1
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -- Jannik Hansen scored the first hat trick of his career Sunday as the Vancouver Canucks defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1.
Radim Vrbata had the other goal for the Canucks and Ryan Miller made 24 saves to get the win as Vancouver (14-6-1) celebrated assistant captain Daniel Sedin's 1,000th NHL game with a hard-fought win.
Bo Horvat had his first three NHL assists, while Derek Dorsett added two of his own.
Corey Crawford finished with 26 stops for Chicago (12-8-1) in the loss.
After giving Vancouver a 1-0 lead in the first period, Hansen snapped a 1-1 tie with his fourth goal in the last three games at 6:24 of the third. Dorsett chipped the puck down the boards into the Chicago zone before directing a shot toward the goal that Hansen deflected into the top corner for his eighth of the season.
Prior to Hansen's second goal, Nick Bonino had a great chance to give the Canucks the lead about five minutes into the third. But his shot from the side of a wide open net hit the far post and stayed out.
Chicago had a power play with about eight minutes left in the third, but Vancouver's penalty kill was effective. The Blackhawks, playing their second of a back-to-back and third game in four nights, pressed for the tie late, but were caught out on a rush when Vrbata scored his 10th of the season at 17:36.
Hansen then won a race for the puck and scored into an empty net with 42 seconds left for the hat trick.
Chicago had won three straight - including Saturday night's 7-1 thrashing of the Edmonton Oilers - and five of their last six, but was down 1-0 after the first period before imposing its will as the second wore on.
Kris Versteeg, who had two goals and four assists in his last three games, scored his seventh of the season tie things at 7:55 on the power play, deflecting a point shot from Duncan Keith past a helpless Miller.
Hansen wired a shot off a face off earlier in the period that Crawford saved before the Blackhawks goalie snagged Vrbata's deflection with his glove.
The Canucks had a great chance to restore the lead on a power play of their own later in the period, but Crawford robbed Henrik Sedin with the heel of his skate after taking a pass at the side of the net from Daniel Sedin.
Vancouver opened the scoring at 13:13 of the first period on the power play when Dorsett's pass off the rush glanced off Horvat's stick to Hansen, who buried his sixth of the season and third in as many games over Crawford's blocker.
The assist was Horvat's first in the NHL after scoring his first goal in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Anaheim Ducks.
Notes: Henrik Sedin played his 1,000th game with Vancouver in March. ... Canucks defenseman Dan Hamhuis sat out with a lower-body injury after getting hurt on Thursday. ... Canucks forward Alexandre Burrows missed his second straight game with an upper-body injury. ... The Canucks host Cory Schneider and the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday before starting a season-high seven-game road trip in Columbus against the Blue Jackets on Friday. The trip will also take Vancouver to Detroit, Washington, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. ... The Blackhawks continue their six-game road trip on Wednesday night against the Colorado Avalanche.

The Top 6 Things That Make Men Resentful
They spill what theyre too nervous to share with youplus what you can do to stop the bitterness.
By Nicole Yorio Jurick
The one thing men hate more than criticism may be public put-downs, whether it's rolling your eyes with a girlfriend over the fact that your husband always loses his keys or bonding over feeling like he's your third kid. "Complaining about your spouse in front of him is shaming, demeaning, and toxic to the relationship because it makes him feel like a child," says marriage and family therapist Paul Hokemeyer, Ph.D. "Women need to be hyper-diligent to resist the impulse to make these comments. After all, think about how you would feel if your husband did the same to you." You're better off going the opposite route and finding ways to praise your husband to friends and family. Not only does it give you a boost when you say positive things about him, but he'll also get an extra dose of appreciation, so you both feel more connected.

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks – interviewed at Teach for America.Interview Details
A very standard interview, besides the group part. But don't be intimidated by that; I believe they use it to weed out those with public speaking issues and those who are so antisocial that they can't fake it for 10 minutes. The one on one was simple. Simple questions, give simple/honest answers. But make sure to tell them you will not quit; that's what TFA is looking for (people who won't quit no matter how ridiculous their situation).Interview Questions

The Hours
Posted October 1, 2010
I saw this in the theaters awhile back, and was blown away... Cunningham's vision, which seemed impossible to translate to film, was (almost) fully realized. Afterwards, I couldn't stop thinking about it and the questions it raised. The Hours is not, however, to be mistaken as sentimental or particularly heart-wrenching. The enjoyment I got out of it was mostly intellectual, and the first effect wore off pretty quickly. I don't think I could watch it multiple times. Of course it's still worth seeing-- the acting, directing, etc. are excellent- but it's a film of intellect, not emotion.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

A Screenwriter in Ohio
I am adding a review for this film simply because it is not only a wonderful experience, but also because of another review I read here. It would be most unfortunate if people chose not to see ''The Hours'' because of an irresponsible review from a person who clearly should have chosen to view one of any mindless sequels available at the local multiplex in lieu of this literate, beautifully realized exercise by Mr. Daldry & Co. People often speak of films that exist solely for either entertaining or intellectual purposes. ''The Hours,'' based on Michael Cunningham's terse, elegiac novel (adapted smartly for the screen by David Hare), does something well nigh impossible when it comes to adaptations of largely internalized novels to the screen: it succeeds, and then some. In short, the film (and novel) is a meditation upon those primary elements which sustain us through life: familial passion and obligation; the search for individual and cultural identity; and the desire of discovering those moments of happiness and desire which spur us throughout the hours and days which comprise our existence(s). The lynch pin here, of course, is Virginia Woolf, whom, when we meet her, has begun writing a stream-of-consciousness novel which in its execution will depict a day in the life of a London woman as she goes about the myriad tasks of planning for a dinner party. The time frame is 1923. Next, we find a California housewife and mother of one (soon to be two; she is pregnant) who has begun to question not only her own identity, but the choices she has made (marriage, motherhood) in the search for said identity. She feels stifled, claustrophobic, and finds refuge only when she is alone, reading. The book she is reading, of course, is ''Mrs. Dalloway,'' by Virginia Woolf. The time frame is 1951. Finally, we find ourselves with a Manhattan book editor, Clarissa Vaughn, who lives with her partner, Sally, amid the sooted and concrete metropolis of New York. Clarissa is planning a party for a dying friend, a poet, who has just been honored with a prestigious poetry prize. Clarissa is, quite frankly, the modern-day version of Ms. Woolf's title character, Mrs. Dalloway. The time frame is 2001. As for plot, I will stop there and say only that the film moves seamlessly between these three stories, all of which are connected in a way that acts somewhat as a thriller. What Mr. Cunningham and the filmmakers have accomplished to express is the oddest and most wonderful strain of ''biography'' that I have ever read or seen. Through transitions so fluid that one is often caught off-guard, they weave the three characters into a mosaic punctuated by desire, resilience, and a certain lingering melancholia. Not only have they taken an unfilmable novel and made it splendidly so, they have also revealed the importance of literature's abilities to not only brighten our lives, but to inform them, as well. As stated, the direction is taut, fluid; so, too, is the writing. Instead of watching characters speak in a manner that would elsewhere be laden with exposition, they speak here with a familiar sort of syntax which reveals to the viewer a sense of lives that have been spent in close quarters. Sometimes, words are not needed at all. One need only ''listen'' to ''hear.'' As for the performances, all are wrought with an honesty that, at times, leaves one staggered and trembling. From Virginia's fiery testimonial on a train station platform (a scene that, I suspect, earned a very good Ms. Kidman a Best Actress Academy Award), to a housewife contemplating life and death in an anonymous, silent hotel room, to a modern woman breaking down in a kitchen that has suddely come to seem like a strange, alien territory to her, each actor -- Ms. Kidman, Ms. Moore, and Ms. Streep -- rise not merely to the task of ''acting,'' but of pushing that envelope further into a very real state of ''being.''

With only two films to go in the Twilight series -- Breaking Dawn - Part 1 hits theaters Nov. 18 and Part 2 wraps things up November 16, 2012 -- the vampire saga will soon be coming to an end. But if costars (and real-life couple) Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are to be believed, it's going out with a bang rather than a whimper. In an interview in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, Pattinson expounds on the epic nature of Edward and Bella's passionate honeymoon sex scene, which features Edward biting pillows and, well, breaking the bed.
"I wanted to have it as a line so much: 'I bit through all the pillows. Every. Single. One.' And then he'd start crying," Pattinson, 25, tells EW. "By the way, that's what he should be ashamed of in the morning. All those beautiful pillows! Egyptian cotton! I ruined this bed!"
Stewart, 21, is more reticent about the sex scene, although she does admit, "It feels like a real love scene, not necessarily vampire-y, which is good."
K-Stew has much more to say on the filming of Bella and Edward's much-hyped nuptials. "It's a trip to watch the wedding scenes especially," she says. "It was so volatile and emotional -- I was being such a crazy person."
So how does Stewart feel now that the franchise that made her a star is winding down? "It's just so strange," she admits. "I can't get over it."
Neither can we -- and we are already counting down the days to Breaking Dawn -- Part 1's November premiere. Bring on the ruined bed!

Oak Hill Academy's boys basketball coach Brain Middleton is getting a little nervous.
With still about a week left to go before their season opener against Lamar, Middleton is hoping to get off to a better start in 2011.
"We're working extremely hard," he said. "We've had three very good days of practice and looking forward to getting back into the gym."
Entering his seventh season, Middleton has his largest squad with 12 players suiting up, a mixture of experience and youth that hope to repeat as division champions, their first title since 1987.
The Oak Hill Academy Lady Raiders will return to the hardwood this afternoon when they take on MAIS Class AAA Jackson Academy at the Canton Academy preseason tournament.
Schedule times have been changed with the varsity girls tipping off at 4 p.m. and junior varsity starting at 5 p.m.
It will be the first test for head coach Stan Hughey and the girls who for the most part have been getting in shape for the new season despite a few scrimmages along the way after a very productive summer.
When it comes down to it, Hebron may not blow you out the water on the court, but they'll definitely give everything they have for four quarters.
The Eagles come into the season with a new head coach and without a star player, yet Tri Nason believes his team has that blue collar work ethic.
With the 2011 season just days away, West Point's boys and girls basketball teams had their first real taste of competition on Saturday when they traveled to Ripley for a preseason jamboree.
It was a chance for both coaches to really see what they had, and both were very impressed.
"I was proud of their effort, they have a lot of heart and character," girls head basketball coach Murray Woody said. "It took a us a little time to get into a rhythm, but once we settled down and ran the stuff we've been practicing and executed, we did a lot better."
WINONA – An 18-point second quarter performance by Hebron Christian School all but solidified their third round victory over 1A Calhoun Saturday afternoon, 49-20 at the Winona Christian School pre-season tournament.
Using a high-pressure man-to-man defense for most of the game, the Lady Eagles never trailed in the contest, jumping out to comfortable 10-0 lead after the opening quarter and by halftime, the girls had a 23-point advantage.
It was quite a flashback in time, but the West Point High School football team did take a trip to the 80's Friday night.
The Wave used a trio of 80-yard rushing plays, two by QB DeQuinton Spraggins, one by tailback Tez Lane, to earn a 31-21 win over the homestanding Oxford Chargers.
Spraggins broke loose and rushed for 221 yards on 11 carries, which
included an 82-yard touchdown run and an 87-yard sprint to set up another score.
Oak Hill's freshman class got a pair of touchdowns Friday night, but it wasn't enough to get a victory as the Raiders dropped to 0-10 on the season following a 14-12 district loss to Immanuel in West Point.
The Raiders had the game's first scoring opportunity only to have their field-goal attempt from 27-yards out blocked. Two possessions later and the Rams took the lead with a 68-yard touchdown pass by Darius Jones to Jason Davis. A two-point conversion made it 8-0
West Point's Parks and Recreation department is hosting a Spooky train ride, with free candy Monday at Rec Building at Marshall Park 6-8 pm!
Kids are encouraged to wear costumes and enjoy the ride before heading out for trick-or-treating.

Hebron Christian struggled offensively Thursday afternoon, losing a 10 point lead in the third quarter and eventually falling to Delta Academy 49-40 in the second round of the Winona Christian School pre-season tournament.
"It was just a poor shooting performance," head coach William Cotton said. "We were doing what we needed to do, just couldn't get the shots that we wanted."
"Hopefully this will be a little wake up call for us," he added. "This is a lesson learned early in the season."
With just two games remaining in the 2011 regular season, the West Point High School football team finds itself in an unfamiliar position; trying to rebound from a division loss.
For the first time in three seasons, the Green Wave dropped a Division 1-5A contest last Friday night in a 30-29 heartbreaker at Center Hill.
Despite the loss, head coach Chris Chambless and his Wave have moved forward, insisting that all of their goals are still within reach.

Murphy Lee - My Shoes
Artist: Murphy Lee
Album: You See Me
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 47 votes )
To emphasize just how long Murphy Lee's upcoming sophomore album (previously titled The Package and Who Says St. Louis Ain't Hip-Hop, but now called You See Me) has been in the works, the promo single, Dat Bull Ish, was one of DJBooth's first song features in early '06. Regardless, with an August release date finally set and the official single, Murph Derty, at retailers this week, a follow-up single has hit the DJBooth. Following the Derrty Ent. tradition of product promo singles (Air Force Ones, Grillz, Stepped On My J'z), Shoes is all about Lee's infatuation with pricey car rims (see Rich Boy's Throw Some D's). Despite competitor sites' claims that My Shoes features T-Pain, Murphy is merely having some vocoder-assisted fun, without everyone's favorite nappy boy.

On Real Estate: Using bankruptcy to stop foreclosure
Most people facing foreclosure aren't in the position to satisfy delinquent mortgage accounts and save their homes. Walking away and starting over for once comfortable and financially viable families is common today.
While some lenders have lightened up on aggressive foreclosure practices in favor of restructuring stressed loans, others are still active. For borrowers against the wall and unable to fight off the foreclosure wolf, filing bankruptcy can offer a reprieve and time to pull themselves out of the red.
Personal bankruptcy
Generally speaking, a bankruptcy is a request for the court to forgive or restructure a variety of personal debts. Personal bankruptcies are filed under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Code. These laws are tailored to serve people with different sets of circumstances. They are also specifically defined. While both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 result in protection from the court, they differ in several areas. In regard to foreclosure, both types of filings are treated relatively the same during the initial stages of the process.
It is commonly thought that a Chapter 7 bankruptcy automatically means a court will forgive the debts of those seeking protection. The process isn't that simple. In what could be a series of hearings, debtors are required to disclose assets that could be monetized to pay creditors. This includes equity in real estate. If a person has no non-exempt assets to be liquidated, the court decides whether to discharge debts included in a petition for protection. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is also known as a "liquidation" plan.
Debtors filing for bankruptcy under Chapter 13 are treated differently. Those seeking protection proposes a creditor repayment plan to the court. The court decides if this plan is acceptable and a three- to five-year repayment plan is commenced. Bankruptcies falling under the Chapter 13 law are sometimes called debt "reorganization" or "repayment" plans.
Treatment of foreclosure
In the beginning stages of a Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the court usually issues an automatic "stay" in all collection activities. During this period, creditors, by law, must cease their attempts to collect unpaid debts until the court discharges a bankruptcy or the stay is lifted. It is possible for creditors to file motions to have any stays lifted before the court decides to do so.
The purpose of a stay is to give the debtor time to gather pertinent financial information they wish to include in their bankruptcy petition. It's often the perfect time for a homeowner to decide whether to keep their home.
Although an automatic stay is usually issued in both Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcies and will stall a foreclosure, it does not guarantee a debtor will keep his or her home. With Chapter 7 bankruptcies, creditors, especially home lenders, are usually able to continue collecting unpaid debts after stays are lifted and bankruptcies are discharged. This means a foreclosure may proceed, as initiated, after a bankruptcy is complete. In Chapter 13 bankruptcies, foreclosures are usually stopped if the debtor agrees to make up missed payments as part of the repayment plan and make regular payments on time thereafter. It is also common for automatic stays to remain in place for the life of a Chapter 13 repayment plan, making it a viable option for stopping foreclosure.
Stopping foreclosure by filing bankruptcy could contain variables that, in some cases, make the process a bit more complicated than desired. An experienced bankruptcy attorney should be consulted.

Man injured in Portsmouth scooter accident
A scooter rider was injured in a scooter accident on Islington Street early Tuesday afternoon. Gretyl Macalaster/Union Leader Correspondent
PORTSMOUTH - A scooter rider was injured in an accident on Islington Street early Tuesday afternoon.
Witnesses said the male rider tried to stop his orange Vespa scooter after the car in front of him abruptly stopped for a pedestrian in a crosswalk but lost control and went over the front of his handlebars.The man hit his head, causing his helmet to fly off, Portsmouth resident Eric Perkins said.
Perkins said he was walking on Islington Street toward downtown when he saw the accident happen.
Carl Diemer of Portsmouth was driving by and saw the man lying in the street with people standing around but no one helping him. He grabbed a blanket and a first-aid kit from Davies Tire and talked to the man until police and paramedics arrived on the scene.
Diemer said the man was conscious and asked Diemer to get his cellphone and call his wife and his employer.
He said the man had a large bump on his head, a cut to his nose and had scuffed up his knees. The man was transported to Portsmouth Regional Hospital by ambulance.
Portsmouth Police Sgt. John Peracchi was not immediately able to identify the victim.

Real Density Versus Experienced Density in Paris
In our era, the obligation of increasing the density of urban fabrics consistently comes into play in development projects. This question became unavoidable as land use increased. And so, today the majority of urban operations are concerned with areas already built upon. Density is also an important economic issue: in opposition to urban sprawl it can lead to saving important resources, especially electricity, sanitation, water, and roadways.
Citizens often consider urban density to be bad. However, an investigation by the Atelier Parisien d'Urbanisme (APUR or the Paris Urban Planning Agency) shows that neighborhoods often perceived as "dense" are often less so than downtown neighborhoods whose quality of life is much lauded. The perception of density therefore varies markedly according to the urban fabric inhabited.
It is not so much human density (inhabitants per km2), nor density related to the amount of built surface area (floor area ratio) which seem to pose problems, but rather urban quality. This category can be defined through two notions.
- Firstly, through the concept of functional diversity: this stipulates that a place must respond to the different needs of locals such as food and drink, getting around, having fun, living, leisurely walking around, or even studying.
- Secondly, through the concept of urban integration: this means that the quality of a neighborhood is expressed just as much by its diversity (plurality of functions, environments, and social forms) as by its coherence. The quality of integration of a place, building, or development project within an urban context depends on a skillful balance between functional, social, and architectural diversity and unity.
The APUR's investigation focuses on the perception of density through two different comparisons of Parisian neighborhoods both possessing markedly different urban fabrics. The first comparison contrasts the Rochechouart area in the 9th arrondissement (with Haussmannian buildings) with the Falguière area in the 15th arrondissement (urbanism of the 1960s). It is important to highlight that the socio-professional profiles of the two neighborhoods are roughly the same, being home to executives and high-level professionals. We can observe that the residents questioned the perceived density of their location differently according to precise criteria of urban quality such as building height, architectural coherence, the number of apartments in a building, the diversity of functions offered close by, presence of green spaces, and gathering places.
It becomes apparent that people living in tower blocks such as in the 15th arrondissement consider "the height of the buildings [...] oppressing" and think that their neighborhood is much too dense. Yet, the floor area ratio and the rate of visits of this urban area are both very low in relation to the other neighborhoods studied. On the contrary, residents from an urban fabric which is continuous and coherent, on the architectural level, appreciate the well-being of such a neighborhoods, while not detecting its high density. Perceived density changes according to different factors. It tends to increase when buildings have a large number of units, and it tends to decrease when there is a strong presence of nearby facilities and services such as businesses, leisure activities, and culture.
This study, even if it is limited to the analysis of three types of urban fabric (continuous buildings, "towers and low-rises," and suburbs) proves nevertheless that true density is clearly removed from experienced density. This latter form of density depends on the urban quality offered in a neighborhood: activities in public spaces, a diversity of functions and populations as well as spatial, architectural, and even functional coherence.
If making an area more dense is indispensable from an economic (saving resources) or spatial (saving space) point of view, it is necessary to ensure that it is taken well. In order for this to happen, it is necessary to build a city which is coherent from three points of view: functionally coherent (diversity of locations), spatially coherent (multimodal roadways, centrality and unity of public spaces), and architecturally coherent (buildings on a human scale, of the same height, and taking into account local specificities).
In the end, maybe density will no longer be linked with annoyances, difficulties, and animosities!
Which changes could be easily implemented to lessen the negative effects of living in a high density area?

The holidays are always a hard time to lose weight, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Keep in mind eating more plants and cutting the junk are good places to start getting healthy.
But according to poptens.com, these are the nine easiest ways to lose weight.
1. Drink more water
The site says not only is it healthy to drink lots of water, it can provide a feeling of being full.
2. Eat slowly
The site says those with a tendency to eat fast don't allow their brains to register when the body is full, leading to overeating.
3. Avoid soft drinks and beer
There are loads of calories in those drinks, which leads us to the next point...
4. Eat low calorie food
The site specifically points out celery. It points out that people use as many calories digesting it as there are inside the food. It recommends finding low calorie foods you like, and sticking to them when snacking.
5. Keep a food diary
The site suggests this practice will keep you more aware of what you're eating.
6. Walk more every day
There is nothing wrong with staying active. The site suggests purchasing a pedometer.
7. Trim your portion sizes
The site suggests starting with keeping a few spoonfuls of food off of your plate, and building on that.
8. Try mindful eating
This practice involves being aware of what you're putting in your mouth and why.
9. The site suggests trying not eating anything after 6 p.m. in the evening.
Livestrong.com says calories eaten after 6 p.m. don't automatically turn into fat, but does point out eating a bag of chips or a candy bar right before bed won't help dieting efforts. If you can't cut eating in the evenings, push to eat even healthier in the evenings as a jumping off point.
