I got introduced to Neuro Linguistic Programming when I attended a Practitioners certification training on 2007 during my 20 year career in the IT industry where I had a reputation of turning around troubled projects - a feat which no other project manager could accomplish.
I became extremely fascinated with the idea that just like we can program computers, we can also program our own minds and out of pure passion for the subject I continued to invest in my studies into the field of NLP. I completed my Master Practitioners certification in 2009 from Dubai & Trainers certification in 2010 from South Africa. I have spent over 5000 hours going through some of the best & most powerful training videos & books on NLP.
In 2011, I took the bold step to quit my IT career from a senior leadership position to establish my career as an NLP Trainer.
Here again, I repeated my success which I had in my IT profession. Within 2 years, I earned myself a new reputation - "Unconventional", "No Box Thinker", "Trainer who does not use powerpoint". I was interview by & featured on the FRONT PAGE in Times of India – Pune Times (http://tinyurl.com/la2ln4j). I have been interviewed by Mid-Day twice (http://tinyurl.com/oxcrl9r) & (http://tinyurl.com/nljq9tb). I have also been interviewed by MJ Shubra of Radio One 94.3 (http://tinyurl.com/kbtcbt4).
In 2015, Anil received an award from ISHMA foundation for excellence in NLP training. The award was presented by Shri Sanjay Nirupam, 3 times Member of Parliament & AICC secretary.
I am probably the most innovative NLP trainer in India. I got my NLP training approved by International Coaches Federation (ICF) as a Coach Specific Training, a feat which no other NLP trainer has been able to do before me. I have created unique training programs titled "Emotional Fitness Gym", "Neuro Linguistic Influence" & many other programs customized to meet the needs of the organizations that have hired me which includes top names from various industries like Insurance, IT, Manufacturing, Non-Profit, Education, Banking, Energy, Automobile etc. Refer the banner for a sample list of my corporate clients.
I have trained & coached over 4000 people across 9 nationalities from professions including but not limited to
- Doctors, Surgeons
- Business Owners
- Trainers, Teachers,Students
- Psychologists, Counselors, Psychotherapists
- Management Consultants, HR Professionals, IT professionals
- Distinguished & Highly Decorated Senior Officers from the Indian Army
I have been highly recommended by those I have trained & coached (Testimonial videos available at – http://www.anildagia.com/testimonials) & have over 2000 endorsements on linkedin.
My reputation has traveled far & wide so much so that I got personally connected with Robert Dilts, L Michael Hall, Joseph O Connor, Lara Ewing, Sue Knight, R Frank Pucelik, Adam Reynolds - the people who were part of the core team which created the field of NLP along with Bandler & Grinder.
I am listed with ANLP CIC, UK as a Trainer member.

A little searching around and I discovered I must not have aligned my pads in the retainer clip and the caliper was skewed, allowing the top of the caliper to canter outwards from the wheel. I removed the pads and reinstalled them, and applied brake pressure while tightening the pin bolt. Now I have pressure and a working brake!
But, after a quick ride, the front rotors are just barely warm and the rear is pretty damn hot. I'm dragging, but I'm not sure what to adjust at this point.
Anybody out there have any ideas?
Even now, the caliper moves a bit when pressure is applied. It seems like it would/should, since there's no rear fasteners holding this thing in place, just 2 pins.
had a 94 fxr new & the rear pads were gone at 4k. i dont use rear brake that much, mainly front. they dragged continually, H-D design flaw? not sure

The reference source is good beyond 4 digits, so when I hook it to a meter the meter had damn well say 10.00 or it gets re-educated, as the Chinese would say.
I'll be interested to see how the meters HOLD calibration, now that I've got a way to check on them.
My Fluke meters are all calibrated, my cheapies not so much, but I'd love to grab one of these chips. Got a link?????

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) today announced that federal aid has been made available for the state of Florida to supplement State and local response efforts due to the emergency conditions resulting from Hurricane Ike beginning on September 5, 2008, and continuing.
FEMA Administrator David Paulison said the president's action authorizes FEMA to coordinate all disaster relief efforts which have the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population, and to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in Monroe County limited to direct Federal assistance.
Paulison said that FEMA has been specifically authorized to identify, mobilize, and provide at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency. Emergency protective measures limited to direct Federal assistance will be provided at 75 percent Federal funding.
R. David Paulison, Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Homeland Security, named Thomas P. Davies as the Federal Coordinating Officer for Federal recovery operations in the affected area.
FEMA coordinates the federal government's role in preparing for, preventing, mitigating the effects of, responding to, and recovering from all domestic disasters, whether natural or man-made, including acts of terror.

A coy Virender Sehwag does not want to lead the Indian cricket team but his feisty teammate Harbhajan Singh does, saying it's a challenge worth a try.
Sehwag has already informed the selectors about his reluctance and requested them to groom someone for future.
Harbhajan, on his part, said incumbent Mahendra Singh Dhoni is doing an excellent job at the helm but he made no bones about his own ambition, saying he would not shy away if Team India captaincy ever comes his way.
"Whoever plays for India wants to lead the side at some stage and it's no different with me. At the end of the day, it's a huge honour for a player," Harbhajan said.
The star off-spinner, however, gave thumbs-up to Dhoni's captaincy and said, "At the moment, Dhoni is doing a fantastic job and there is no doubt that he is a brilliant skipper."
Harbhajan was seen in the captain's role in the recent BCCI Corporate Trophy where he led Air India Blue to the final and the spinner said he thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
"Leading Air India Blue in Corporate Trophy was obviously a good experience. Of course you learn more and more with time but I certainly enjoyed it. It was a challenge for me which I accepted and enjoyed to the hilt," said the 29-year-old offie.
Incidentally, Dhoni played under Harbhajan in the tournament and also rolled his arms for three unsuccessful overs in the final.
Talking about captaincy, one thing that baffles Harbhajan is the myth that bowlers make inferior captains and more often than not, the job goes to a batsman.
"I don't know why batsmen are traditionally preferred for the captain's job. I mean if you have good leadership skills, it should not matter whether you are a batsman or a bowler.
Your ability to lead should be the lone criterion," he said.
"Imran Khan was primarily a bowler when he took over captaincy and did a great job with Pakistan. And look at (New Zealand captain Daniel) Vettori today. He has been doing so well for quite a while. So how come people perceive captaincy a job beyond the bowlers?" Harbhajan asked.
Harbhajan acknowledged captaincy is a full-time responsibility when he would have to plan for others as well but said he can handle the pressure that comes with the job.

Skill effect research
Anytime I'm working on a respec, there is this one issue that really throws me off. The actual effect of putting x amount of skill levels into a certain category is very much obfuscated. To know if it's worth it to put 9 instead of 6 points into a skill you basically have to rely on experience and guessing. If I search the board for info the results are scattered into individual posts through hundreds of topics and usually only talk about a single skill each. And more often than not, in the same topic there'll be another voice who vehmently disagrees. STOwiki also has basically zero information on skill scaling as well.
So I'm asking, what do you folks base your skill builds on? Is there a place on the net where all the info has been collected and I just didn't find it yet?
I have a char that still has 5 respec tokens left. I just transfered him to Tribble too, so I'll do some testing tomorrow. Would the results be interesting for anyone else? Should I try to add it to StoWiki perhaps? Am I wasting my time?

Reader Participation Day: How Would You Design A National Park?
If you were given a blank piece of paper and asked to design a national park, what would you consider to be indispensable?
What, if any, commecial services would you include? Would there be lodging, and if so, how much and at what room price? What about roads? How many miles of them would you allow, and where would they lead? Would you place a hard limit on the size of buildings (both height-wise, and interior space)?
Would you set a specific limit on how much of paradise could be paved over? What visitor amenities would you see were provided? Would you want to restrict recreational amenities to activities that are in concert with the natural setting?
These are all timely questions in light of the effort to better manage the Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park, to restore and rehabilitate things at Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park, and as Grand Canyon National Park officials continually wonder how they can reduce the human footprint on the South Rim of that wonderful park.
Tell us, travelers, how would you design the perfect national park?
I'm pretty much with Justin, less is more for me when it comes to design. I can do without the lodging or campgrounds or even visitor centers being inside a park in many cases. But 'perfect'? Surely that's a matter of individual and institutional perspective. I suspect NPS management would have a quite different opinion as to what constituted a 'perfect' park and how to strive for it. Here's some examples from my decades at Mount Rainier:
Build the highest density of roads in any western national park, but keep most of then closed to vehicles, full or part-time, except for "administrative use". They make access so much easier for Science and the many overworked managers in need of R & R at one of the numerous backcountry patrol cabins.
First, build a $2M Emergency Operations Center literally on the edge of a lahar-prone river. Then, build a $25 million visitor center at a world-record snowfall station, so you must spend a million per year plowing the road to it daily, but close that road to the public at the flimsiest excuse. When design changes and ten-fold cost overruns delay VC completion, close the entire park to the public for six months and blame flooding, while construction continues through the winter.
Write a General Management Plan emphasizing the need for mass transit while the superintendent speculates in real estate outside the park. Present the terrain and climate as too dangerous for most visitors. To the greatest possible extent, have the public board buses at one concessioner's gift shop and exit at a different gift shop, preferrably with the minimum number of intermediate stops where escape from the canned tour might be possible.

A sluggish economy pushes local advertisers online, says Borrell Associates.
As has been forecast for all of online advertising, local Web ad revenues are poised for growth. A new report shows local online ad spending is rising at a 50 percent clip, and will hit $13 billion this year.
Borrell Associates pegs 2007 local online ad revenues at $8.7 billion in its new "What Local Media Web Sites Earn: 2008 Survey" report. Double-digit growth over the next year and a half is projected, based on a survey of over 3,000 local media properties. Following that 18-month upswing, however, Borrell expects growth rates to taper into the single digits by 2012.
Among the reasons for the expected increase is the sluggish economy, suggests Borrell. In short, local advertisers want more cost efficient alternatives to traditional media buys, and they're finding them online.
The report suggests newspaper publishers have a head start on other online media entries, though the others will continue to nip at their heels. Newspaper sites grabbed over $2 billion in local Web ad revenue in 2007, more than all other local online media companies combined, according to the report. One thing benefiting online paper publishers is expansion of their ad client base. Nearly 60 percent of those dollars came from Web-only advertisers, the report shows. Some sectors paper publishers are reaching out to include financial services and smaller local retailers, said Borrell Associates VP Peter Conti.
"In the past they had overlooked a lot of the categories," he continued.
Other positive moves include creating standalone sites and new ad and content products. "They're offering more products and more information, and in some cases, even developing new sites that have nothing to do with the old media," said Conti.
Still, ad revenue collected by paper sites represents about 25 percent of total local online ad market share, compared to 44 percent four years ago. Conti chalks this up to a lingering fixation on maintaining dwindling classified ad revenues. Referring to classifieds as an "Achilles heel" for paper sites, the report notes 63 percent of total classifieds in 2007 were online classifieds.
Though newspaper publishers have their own set of problems to contend with, they could have a leg up in the ad sales department, according to the report. It notes newspaper publishers in total have an estimated 3,800 sales reps dedicated to selling online offerings, and larger outfits may have up to three dozen dedicated online ad salespeople.
"Most financially successful sites are the ones that have their own independent [online] sales force," said Conti. "They can put together the kinds of packages and the advertising that's necessary to sell online without worrying about cannibalization or lack of focus."
Local radio sellers could learn something from this approach. The report suggests online radio revenues are hindered by the common use of terrestrial radio salespeople for online ad sales. Although the firm found online radio revenues rose about 50 percent from $125 million in '06 to $189 million in '07, Borrell anticipates growth to slow to about 35 percent this year.
According to the firm, TV stations it surveyed "nearly doubled their Web sales forces in 2007 and are expecting to do the same in 2008 -- though 'doubling' often means going from one rep to two."
In conjunction with the proliferation of broadband access, television's video prowess gives it a boost as Web video consumption grows. "Their traditional background is bringing audio and video to the table," said Conti, noting video content and offerings such as directories with video ad offerings "bring in a lot higher CPMs."
Borrell expects ad spending on local TV sites to go beyond $1 billion this year. In 2007, total online television revenues grew to $772 million, a 72 percent leap over the previous year.
Like other traditional local media moving online, yellow pages publishers are dealing with falling print revenues. Battling the drop in usage of print directories and related ad revenue declines, they have worked towards righting the ship online by providing interactive ad offerings such as search ad services. According to Borrell, Internet revenues for directories publishers will reach $1.2 billion in 2008, up from $993 million this year.
City-specific resource and community sites some owned by newspaper firms and others independent, have also collected local ad dollars from traditional players. "They're' sucking out online ad dollars from local markets, too," said Conti. "They have a higher rate of return," he added. "They seem to be a lot lighter-weight operations, more unencumbered by traditional [operations]."

Running (Sailing) Preparations Safety Precautions Warning (When using a Ni-cad battery to power your system) Charging When using a Ni-cad battery to power your system, always charge and check the battery voltage prior to operation. Should the battery discharge below the minimum voltage level, control will be lost. Caution (When using a Ni-cad battery to power your system) When the charger is not in use, disconnect from the outlet. To prevent accidents, overheating and short circuits 2 Running (Sailing) Safety Precautions Warning Conduct Tests Prior to operation always preform a range test. Even one abnormality in the R/C system may cause loss of control. [Range Test Procedure] Have a friend hold the model, or place on a stand where the wheels or prop can not come Safety Precautions in contact with any object. Collapse the transmitter antenna and operate from a distance of about 10 yards. Be sure to check the movement of each servo to make sure they follow the movement of the steering wheel and throttle trigger. If the servos do not follow the commands from the transmitter or any type of interference is detected, Do Not oper- ate the model. Fully extend the transmitter antenna. If the transmitter antenna is not fully extended range will be reduced and control may be lost. Prohibited Do not operate two or more models on the same frequency at the same time. Operation of two or more models on the same frequency at the same time will cause interference and loss of control of both models. AM, FM and PCM are different methods of modulation. Nonetheless the same frequency can not be used at the same point in time, regardless of the signal format. Do not operate outdoors on rainy days Never operate in the rain or run through puddles. The transmitter, receiver, batteries and most servos, and speed controls are not water- proof. Contact with any type of moisture or immersion in water or snow will cause damage along with possible loss of control. Should any type of moisture enter any component of the system immediately stop using the R/C system and return to our service center for inspection. Prohibited Do not operate when visibility is limited. Should you loss sight of the model a collision or other dangerous situation may occur. Prohibited Do not operate near people or roads. Do not operate near high tension power lines or communication broadcasting antennas. Prior to the operation of any model be sure the area you plan to use is safe. Be aware of all object that may be in the path of your model. Do not operate the model where people or any type of moveable object could stray in the path of your model. Control loss due to interference, component failure, loss of sight or low battery voltage could result in serious injury to yourself and others as well as damage to your model. Prohibited Do not Operate your R/C system within 1 mile of another site where radio control activity may occur. Interference from other R/C systems will cause loss of control. 3 Prohibited Do not operate when you are tired, not feeling well or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Your judgement is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury to yourself and others. Before you turn on the power switch on the transmitter, always check to see that the trigger is at the neutral position. Always turn the transmitter on first, then the receiver. When you turn the system off, always turn the receiver off first then the transmitter. This Safety Precautions step is very important always follow this procedure. If this procedure is not followed, injury to yourself and others as well as loss of control could occur. Adjustment Note Make all adjustments to the radio control system with engine not running, or the electric motor disconnected. If the engine is running or the motor is connected while adjustments are made the model may run out of control. Remove the main battery source from electric powered models when they are not being used. Should you accidently leave the receiver switch on the model could run out of control. Caution Do not touch Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of the model that will generate heat while running. Touching hot parts will result in serious burns. Storage and Disposal Safety Precautions Warning (When using a Ni-cad battery to power your system) At the end of a days operation store the system with Ni-cad battery discharged. Be sure to recharge the system before it is used again. You should fully discharge your systems batteries periodicity to prevent a condition called "memory". For example if you only make two run in a day or you regularly use a small amount of the batteries capacity, the memory effect can reduce the actual capacity even if the battery is charged for the recommended amount of time. Prohibited Do not throw a Ni-cad battery into a fire. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair a Ni-cad battery pack. Overheating, damage and acid leakage may lead to burns, loss of eye sight as well as numerous other types of injuries. The electrolyte in Ni-cad batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in your eyes, Do Not rub, wash immediately with water, seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte can cause blind- ness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water immedi- ately. 4 Caution Prohibited Do not store your R/C system where it will be exposed to the following conditions. • Extreme heat or coldness • Exposed to direct sunlight • Where humidity is high • Where vibration is prevalent • Where dust is prevalent Safety Precautions • Where there is steam and condensation • Where the system would be exposed to engine exhaust Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions could cause deformation and numer- ous other problems with operation. (When using a Ni-cad battery to power your system) Caution When disposing Ni-cad batteries, cover any exposed contacts with some type of insula- tion to prevent short circuit. Improper disposal could cause fire. *Special Note! Some states require special handling when Ni-cad batteries are disposed. Con- tact the State Agency responsible for recycling hazardous waste for the proce- dures in your state. Other Safety Precautions Caution When operating two or more models at the same time, have a third person act as a spotter. They will be in charge of safety and you should follow their instructions. Beginners should receive instructions regarding safety and operation from an experi- enced modeler. Use genuine Futaba parts only. Always use only genuine Futaba receiver, servos, electronic speed controls along with other optional parts and components. Futaba will not be held responsible for damages caused by other than genuine Futaba parts and components. Use only genuine Futaba parts and components listed in the in- struction manual and catalog. (When using a Ni-cad battery to power your system) Prohibited Do not short circuit the Ni-cad battery terminals. Short circuiting the terminals will lead to sparks and overheating and could cause a fire and burns as well. 5 2PEKA Before Operation System Contents After opening the container, check the contents for the following items. the contents will vary with the system purchased.

If a connector is not fully inserted, vibration may cause the connector to work loose while the model is operating. This will result in loss of control. Check Operate each servo horn over its full stroke and check to see that the linkage does not bind or is not too loose. Excessive force applied to the servo horn by binding or poor installation may lead to servo problems and cause result in loss of control. Prohibited The receiver antenna may seem long. Do not cut or alter from the original length. If the receiver antenna length is altered, the receiver will be adversely effected. The receiver will become considerably more susceptible to interference and high fre- quency noise which will result in loss of range and control. Assembly / Adjustment Installation Note (Electric Car's and Boat's) Isolate the receiver from vibration by attaching to the chassis or mounting plate with thick double sided tape. (Gas Powered Car's and Boat's) Isolate the receiver from vibration by wrapping it in foam rubber or similar type cush- ioning material. Protect the unit from water damage by placing it in a plastic bag or waterproof radio box. The receiver contains precision electronic parts. These parts are vulnerable to vibra- tion and shock. Any contact with moisture (water or condensation) may cause receiver malfunction and loss of control. Installation Note Keep all devises that may omit high frequency noise, such as motor's, batteries, and wiring that handle heavy current loads, at least 1/2 inch away from the receiver and receiver antenna. High frequency noise will cause a decrease in operating range and could cause loss of control. Use genuine Futaba parts only. Use only genuine Futaba crystal set's as specified in this instruction manual. The use of other than Futaba crystal set's will result in decrease of range as well as loss of control. There are separate crystal's for the Transmitter and Receiver, there are also crystal set's for AM, FM and Dual Conversion FM. Use only single conversion AM crystal set's with this system. Changing crystals in 72-75 MHz transmitter is illegal, however 27 MHz is allowable. (For U.S.A.) 10 Install electronic speed control heat sinks as well as other components that conduct electricity so they can not come in contact with aluminum, carbon fiber or other mate- rials that conduct electricity. If for example the speed control came loose while the model was running and touched an aluminum chassis a short circuit may occur that would cause irreparable damage to the system as well as loss of control. Installation Note Noise suppression capacitors should be installed on almost all motors. If the proper capacitors are not installed, high frequency noise will reduce range and cause loss of control along with various other problems. Installation Note Inspect all linkage installations and any point where metal could come in contact with other metal parts. Make sure these parts do not touch other metal parts under vibra- tion. Should a linkage or other metal parts come in contact with other metal parts under vibration the high frequency noise generated by this contact will cause interference and possible loss of control. Caution Assembly / Adjustment Disassembly Prohibited Do Not disassemble any part of this system that is not specified in the instruction manual. Futaba will not be responsible for any damage due to improper disassembly of any part of the radio control system. 11 Digital Proportional Adjustment *When making these settings adjustments , do so with the motor disconnected or the engine not running.

Philips 37PFL5405H/12 sound loss over HDMI (1) ARC
Philips 37PFL5405H/12 sound loss over HDMI (1) ARC.
- satellite receiver HDMI 2
- video recorder SCART
- home theatre/DVD HDMI (1) ARC
I listen to the sound through the home theatre. The sound the satellite receiver and the sound of the video recorder are perfect. The DVD is perfect likewise.
Firmware: Ver.: 000.140.039.000
As opposed to this the telly the sound of TV programs (all DVB-T) is left out continuously and this very disturbing, unpleasant.
What there may be the solution or we may be the reasons?
Incomprehensible the phenomenon, because HDMI ARC is all sound sign on the same one on a socket comes.

The upcoming Lok Sabha elections have been changing gears really fast.
At a macro level, nothing has changed; the UPA still evokes scorn and the BJP has a clear winner when its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is contrasted with Rahul Gandhi. At a micro level, however, multiple independent incidents are delivering the proverbial thousand cuts to the BJP's lead, which in real numbers translates to a tally dipping from over 220 to less than 190. A lead that was seemingly unassailable until a month ago has suddenly been reduced to a discomforting level. The Congress, meanwhile, is inching beyond 115 from the embarrassing double digit figure it was staring at.
While some media reports believe the election is between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the BJP, in reality it is still the BJP vs the Congress. The AAP's success could change the way politics is done in this country, but doesn't make it a stakeholder in the central government. It has made many of the contests triangular, but will only end up influencing other winners by adding some unpredictability. If Delhi is any gauge, the AAP has hurt the Congress more than the BJP. Hence, the recent decline from the AAP's initial peak euphoria may also give the Congress more respite than the BJP in this game of relative trade-offs.
The biggest opponent the BJP is fighting in these elections is the BJP itself. While Narendra Modi's leadership of the party is not a matter of debate now, the old guard will not go down without a fight. The likes of Jaswant Singh and Lalmuni Chaubey may not swing votes outside of their constituencies in Rajasthan and Bihar, but when every seat counts, such strong rebels chip away at the final tally. The other problem is Modi's direct command and control strategy. It has been a big strength in the high-voltage campaign for the last one year, but is now rubbing local cadres the wrong way, with many candidate selections gone wrong. The Mysore seat, for instance, where the candidate's only credential seems to be that he wrote a glowing biography for Modi. This seat was for the BJP to take, but has now become a real contest. A similar story is repeated in roughly 30 seats all over the country.
In contrast, the Congress seems to be fighting like a mouse cornered. The first pull back for the party came from the Telangana issue. It has come back from an assured rout in united Andhra Pradesh to salvaging its reputation. Luck has also favoured it. The news of the TDP and the BJP failing to agree on a seat-sharing formula would come as an added boost. Similarly, the MNS-Shiv Sena rivalry in Maharashtra will help the Congress bag some more seats.
The Congress leadership also seems to have found some of its lost chutzpah by getting strong candidates like Ghulam Nabi Azad and Amarinder Singh to fight from seats like Udhampur and Amritsar respectively, seats that the BJP had counted in its kitty as given. Where Azad is almost certain to sail through in his own seat and even influence the neighbouring Jammu seat, Amarinder Singh must be giving Arun Jaitley nightmares in a constituency where Navjot Singh Siddhu won by a margin of less than 7,000 votes in 2009.
While the new BJP election ads are leaving rivals behind in the race to produce the worst jingle, the only thing still working for the party is its star campaigner: Narendra Modi. His gruelling 185-rally schedule in this last stretch of campaigning should hopefully help the BJP bounce back a little. But this over-reliance on a single asset could also become the BJP's Achilles' heel, since the opposition will now focus all its energies on a single target. The remaining few weeks will tell whether the trend of this reducing lead will strengthen, or whether the BJP will be able to stem it.
Let us think of the BJP as the hare and Congress as the tortoise. If Modi's rally schedule, named 'Bharat Vijay', is what it sounds like – a victory lap – then the prognosis seems weak. It could be the hare's hubris allowing the tortoise to catch up in the last mile. Unlike the fable, the tortoise will not get ahead in this race though.
But what would happen if the BJP does fall below some threshold, say 185 or 160? There are murmurs on social media about a 160 club – a group inside the BJP that wants a low total so that a non-Modi-led NDA comes to power. That seems like utter nonsense. Modi's leadership is now so well entrenched that he will surely be the leader if a BJP-led alliance comes to power (as seems most likely). The only difference, though, will be in the characteristic of the government. With a smaller number of seats and reliance on multiple partners, Modi will need to evolve a whole new style of working to succeed. A strong individualistic style that was his strength in the past will not help with future successes in such a scenario. As one of the most talented politicians of his generation, he should be up to that task.
If the current trend continues though, what would happen if the BJP lands at 170 and Congress at 125? We would find that President Pranab Mukherjee becomes the most important person in the country. With the kind of rapport he shares across parties, he might be in the perfect place to play the kingmaker. There is still time left in this last lap. Will the hare scrape through, or will the tortoise, even after losing the race, trump the hare on the podium?

North Gwinnett sophomore to celebrate 4th birthday
Birthdays are extra special for Katie McKinstry. While most people have a birthday every year, the North Gwinnett sophomore only gets to celebrate her "real" birthday every four years. She's a leap year baby -- her birthday falling on Feb. 29.
But the 15-year-old makes the most of her special day. Every four years, Katie and her family travel to Chattanooga, Tenn., and stay at the Chattanooga Choo Choo, a hotel that has train cars for rooms. Katie said the city has a special meaning to her and her dad, Lee.
"Chattanooga is where I was born," Katie said. "It was a huge deal when I was born for my dad because there was a snowstorm. So when I was really little he decided every year that on my birthday, since it was such a special day, we would go there."
But the McKinstry family doesn't just go and spend the night and have a quiet evening at the hotel. They go to a restaurant that has singing waitresses and a band and they all sing happy birthday to Katie. This year, Katie is performing at the restaurant. She said she's going to sing Debbie Boone's "You Light Up My Life" because it's a favorite song of her grandmother, whom she's very close to.
But this won't be her first time performing because Katie is the lead singer of a band she started with her brother, Mac. She also plays the piano and guitar, careful to point out that playing piano is much easier. But being a part of North Gwinnett's chorus is her favorite thing.
"I've been singing in school choirs since fourth grade and I love it so much," Katie said. "I love just singing with a bunch of people. We're all like a huge family and we all know each other and we're all friends."
After high school, Katie said she wants to go to college and study journalism and work for a newspaper. For now, she's enjoying her time at North Gwinnett.
"I love it so much better than elementary and middle school," Katie said. "I don't think I'd ever want to go to another school just because the campus is awesome and the teachers are awesome. My history teacher is amazing and I love him."
If you're wondering when Katie celebrates her birthday on non-leap years, she said either Feb. 28 or March 1 -- whichever falls closest to the weekend. But this year she's more than happy to celebrate on a Wednesday because it's the "actual" day.
"My actual birthday is really, really important to me," Katie said. "It's probably the most important thing that happens to me. It's my favorite day ever."

Re: Advice on SF Bay summer sailing
The currents can be a real pain sometimes. Once, my wife and I sailed on a HUGE afternoon ebb down the estuary, across the bay, under the Bay Bridge, and around the end of the SF peninsula to Gashouse Cove. The winds were 10 to 15 kts max and the afternoon was beautiful. I didn't have a tide book with me (cue scary music), but I figured the ebb had been going on for so long already that it was bound to turn into a flood soon enough. Besides, there was no fog, the city lights were coming on, and it was about to turn into a picture-perfect evening.
We turned around for the run back to Alameda, which should have taken about two and a half hours on a "normal" day, and that's just about when the wind decided to start dying. The ebb was still pretty strong, and even with the wind behind us we (and every other sailboat on the bay) crept back along the SF waterfront. At one point we were pretty much stationary just off of Pier 39, our progress through the water and the tide just about perfectly balanced against one another, for about 45 minutes. One by one all the sailboats fired up the "iron spinnaker" and headed home as it got dark. Unfortunately, my old Victory 21's motor was a British Seagull. I finally caved in, wrestled the Seagull out of the lazaret, and fired her up. By now it was pretty dark, and the ebb had finally tapered off, and the wind was completely gone.
So, there we were, in the middle of one of the busiest ports in the world, without real navigation lights (I know, I know....), with old nasty gas in the Seagull (so it wasn't running all that great), hugging the waterfront until we "zipped" across to Yerba Buena, then hugging the shore of the island, then "zipping" across Outer and Middle Harbors to Alameda Island, then putt-putt-putting up the Estuary. All this while keeping an eye out for ships, wondering if we actually had enough gas to make it, getting cold (we hadn't planned on being out nearly so late), and getting ready to kill the engine if the CG or a sheriff's boat showed up (so we could flash our little flashlight at them and pretend we were legal). Oh, yeah....and the Seagull's muffler kept working itself loose every twenty minutes or so, necessitating stopping the motor and reattaching it to keep ourselves from going deaf in the middle of all this.
And to top everything off (you knew there had to be more, right?) when we got back to Alameda Marina (we actually got a tow from a Good Samaritan the last couple of miles) it was well past midnight, and the tide was so low that I couldn't get the boat up to the hoist dock. The Admiral was definitely NOT amused. She took a nap in the cab of my pickup for a couple of hours while I waited for the tide to come up enough that I could get the boat up to the hoist dock and hoist it back onto its trailer.
ALWAYS bring a tide table and check it before you leave
Always bring extra warm clothes
Always bring extra snacks and drinks
Always keep the motor in good repair
Oh, and make sure the F$%#@!!! nav lights work!!
Never forget them. Do something to prevent it from happening again.

After recently having her album pushed back to September 11th, Eve and her fans must be up in arms (whatever that expression means). Calm down though, there is a perfectly good reason: a brand new single. Produced once again by Swizz Beatz (see Tambourine), Eve offers up the Caribbean-tinged, Give It Yo You, featuring the once lost but now found, Sean Paul. The island flavored single should officially put a halt in the continuous delays of Eve's new studio album, Here I Am. This ideal end of summer/radio friendly joint is a change of pace for the Philly native, as her career has come a long way since she laid down verses as a Ruff Ryder.

Dale Earnhardt Jr ready to gamble to get more wins before NASCAR Chase
|By Diego Mejia
|Saturday, August 11th 2012, 10:51 GMT
Dale Earnhardt Jr says his Hendrick team can afford to take some gambles in the next few NASCAR Sprint Cup races to try and get more wins and bonus points before the title play-off.
Earnhardt continues to lead the Cup points standings with just five races to go before the Chase for the championship starts, but having taken just one win - at Michigan in June - means he is set to drop behind drivers who have won multiple races under the bonus scores system.
The 37-year-old believes there is little to lose and potentially a lot to gain for his title bid if he and Hendrick take more risks in the pre-Chase run-in.
"We feel like that in the position we are in now, we can gamble a lot more," said Earnhardt. "Not be foolish, but we could try to stretch the car on fuel mileage and places like that to try to win races like a lot of these guys do.
"We just kind of played it safe and made sure we were going to make the Chase. That's the first thing. You don't want to miss the Chase being foolish. Now we feel like we've got a good position to do that, these last few races we can kind of just throw it all out there. If we fall back in points because we made a few mistakes, and some gambles didn't pay off it's not a big deal.
"We know what kind of season we've had and we know we've got a lot to be proud of. I think mentally we can go into the Chase pretty excited about our chances. Hopefully we can make some of those gambles pay off though and things will work out in a positive way and we'll win some races before the Chase starts."
This weekend's Cup round takes place at Watkins Glen. Earnhardt's road-course record is not one of the best among the likely Chase contenders, with his best results at the Glen two top-five finishes.

Simmons on Voynov, the Oilers, Draisaitl, etc.
by George Malik on 10/25/14 at 11:39 PM ET
Comments (0)
The Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons discusses the fates of Eric Staal and Tyler Myers in his weekly notebook, but he also makes a point regarding the Slava Voynov case that...Let's say the New York Post's Larry Brooks examines in greater detail...
Will be an interesting conversation around Lou Marsh time ... If Slava Voynov remains suspended until his Dec. 1 court date, he will have sat out 18 games, making his one of the longest suspensions in NHL history. What makes this so complicated is that he has yet to be formally charged with anything, his salary is counting against the Los Angeles salary cap and in the backdrop of the Ray Rice situation, the NHL is caught in a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't circumstance.
Amongst Simmons' notes:
Now that they've won three home games in a row, the heat is off Edmonton coach Dallas Eakins. For now. But had the wins not come in the homestand, the Oilers were preparing to make a coaching change. The man they were already sniffing around: Mark Messier
(have we ever heard that rumor before? Naaaaaaah)
This is why I remain skeptical of the Maple Leafs' ability to work as a functional sports team...

Maple Leafs assistant GM Kyle Dubas getting to know NHL business, cautions against 'magic formulas'
by George Malik on 08/27/14 at 01:39 AM ET
Comments (0)
According to the Toronto Star's Mark Zwolinski, new Maple Leafs assistant GM Kyle Dubas is working very hard to learn the ropes in Toronto...
"It's been a busy summer," said the new assistant GM. "It's been an interesting time to come in. In a way it worked out perfectly in that August is a quiet month in the NHL, and it let me get my feet under me. Get to know Brendan (Shanahan, the team president) and Dave (Nonis, the general manager)."
Dubas has spent the majority of his time this summer rounding out the Marlies staff, signing a few players, getting ready for training camp next month, finishing an ECHL agreement with Orlando as well as scouting Canada's under-18 camp.
"It's getting a sense of what everybody is doing," said Dubas. "What each department is doing. Following the guidance of Dave and Brendan."
And Dubas also has this to say about the "fancy stats" business:
"Hockey is behind other sports for a number of reasons, including the nature of the sport," said Dubas. "There's a lot of people that seem to me to be rushing the magic formula and how it all works. A lot of people are trying to sell that.
"The key for me is, if you rush, you're going to be chasing down a rabbit hole, not really knowing what you're looking for. We've got to determine how we're going to go about that, how we're going to develop it internally and not have to outsource that."

Simmons weighs in on Kyle Dubas' 'gutsiest' move and Sheriff…Claude?
by George Malik on 07/27/14 at 01:30 AM ET
Comments (0)
The Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons spends a significant portion of his Sunday notebook fighting the anti-advanced stats fight (again). In doing so, however, he does make one astute point about new Maple Leafs assistant GM Kyle Dubas, and it's a point that the "Boy Genius, Master of Advanced Stats" narrative has ignored.
Dubas made some very "gusty" calls in terms of both coaching and player personnel while turning the OHL's Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds from a bottom-feeder into a perennial contender, including making a very risky coaching pick:
Against almost everyone's advice, Dubas hired Sheldon Keefe to coach in Sault Ste. Marie when Keefe was persona non grata in the OHL because of his personal behaviour and his longtime involvement with the pariah David Frost. People knew Keefe could coach. But no one would touch him. Dubas found a way to finesse that and now he's on the rise and so is Keefe. And lingering there are many people in the OHL who have no use for either of them.
Simmons also believes that Leafs president Brendan Shanahan's decision to fire Dave Poulin and Claude Loiselle might have a positive effect upon the NHL's Department of Player Safety:

Playing Moneyball In Toronto?

from Kavitha A. Davidson at Bloomberg View,
After missing the playoffs for the eighth time in nine seasons, the Toronto Maple Leafs think it's time for a different approach. And the success of the Oakland A's this season should give them hope.
The Leafs have fired assistant general managers Dave Poulin and Claude Loiselle, replacing both with "boy wonder" Kyle Dubas. The 28-year-old stats guru -- dubbed the "Billy Beane of hockey," after the A's general manager -- is jumping to the big leagues after serving in the Ontario Hockey League. In just three seasons, Kubas turned around the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds from worst to first in the Western division, building a team around advanced statistics.
In addition to Beane, Kubas draws comparisons to Chicago Cubs general manager Theo Epstein, who embodied the youth movement in baseball's front offices.

Kyle Dubas Hiring By The Leafs A Step In The Right Direction
by Paul on 07/22/14 at 12:51 PM ET
Comments (5)
from Chris Johnston of Sportsnet,
To deny the significance of possession stats in hockey is to be on the wrong side of history. Before Tuesday morning, the Toronto Maple Leafs were on the wrong side of history.
Suddenly, after a significant front-office shakeup, the organization is at the forefront of a movement that has already began to shift the industry … and will soon reshape it entirely.
The surprising decision to hire 28-year-old Kyle Dubas as assistant general manager does not guarantee that the Leafs will be transformed into a Stanley Cup contender. However, it is a tacit acknowledgement that new methods must be used to evaluate talent and build teams.
The times, they are a-changin'.
