Munaf completes 28 years
Some say he has lived a fairytale. Others are not to forgiving and blame him for lacking the intent required by an international cricketer. For a lad from a small town in Gujarat though, 28 years have painted quite the contrasts for him. A look at his life on his birthday: (Agency images)
Some say he has lived a fairytale. Others are not to forgiving and blame him for lacking the intent required by an international cricketer. For a lad from a small town in Gujarat though, 28 years have painted quite the contrasts for him. A look at his life on his birthday: (Agency images)
Munaf Patel was born on this day in 1983 in Gujarat to Musa Patel, a cotton farmer. Musa had two daughters before Munaf and lived in Ikhar, a small town in the state.
Munaf grew up with a passion for the sport and his first claim to fame came when he was 20. He was called to the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai by the then Chairmen of selectors Kiran More.
Here he found the fancy of Steve Waugh and Dennis Lillee before being signed by Mumbai in 2003, to play in the domestic circuit, without a single match for his home state.
In 2004, India A coach Sandeep Patel criticised Munaf for having a mental problem in dealing with his repeated injuries.
In 2006, Munaf took ten wickets in a tour match for Baroda President's XI against England and was rewarded for it by getting picked for India ahead of the second Test at Mohali.
The fast-bowler justified his inclusion in the side when he took seven wickets from the match, made his ODI debut in the same series and returned to enjoy a consistent performance in the West Indies.
Munaf had genuine pace working for him in the early years of his career. He repeatedly managed to clock deliveries at close to 80 miles per hour.
Pace however eluded Munaf eventually and he did not have much left to give to the team. Wickets came sparsely and he eventually became an emergency bowler.
He played for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League in the first three editions. His efforts in the shortest format of the sport was note-worthy under skipper Shane Warne.
For IPL 2011, Munaf was bought by the Mumbai Indians and he managed to scalp 22 wickets for his new side.
He however got into a verbal argument with Deccan Chargers' Amit Mishra in one of the matches and the episode made headlines more than his focused intent on removing batsmen from the crease.
Criticism mounted as few chose to lambast him for his inability to keep his pace up. Even recently, Andy Roberts said he was shocked to see Munaf spinning the ball more than using pace.
Controversy hounded Munaf as well when he was linked to Bobby Darling in 2009. Reports followed the rumored link-up claiming that he had left Bobby heart-broken.
Throughout 2010, Munaf's name has figured in the national side only as a replacement for an injured Zaheer Khan and S Sreesanth, especially ahead of the Lankan tour.
Munaf has since done reasonably well and has managed to be amongst the wickets although an extraordinary performance has given him a miss repeatedly.
As he completes 28 years, here is wishing Munaf Patel the absolute charmed life that his career initially promised and with hopes of glory that seems to have just slowed down in recent years.

I'm home again! Here are a few pictures from my holiday. I came home Friday evening and yesterday I went to Loveland Festival all day, that's where the first picture is taken. It was really fun and the music was great! You can imagine my legs are tired from all the dancing so today I won't be doing anything excited. Hopefully you had a nice summer holiday too :)

text: Fellow illustrious Audi-philes: I think the gremlins have found my car. I thought by parking it in my garage... it would be out of sight. Guess not. Here's what they have done... Yesterday, I was driving along on the highway, on a 3-hour journey, and I decided to run the A/C to get it going during these cold winter months (ya know... get the oil and freon running through the system to maintain it...), and of course... nothing. I push the button in, and nothing happens. No green "on" light... nothing!! So, then when I stop for a coffee... and re-start it... I try it again. Again, nothing. Then, later... after it warmed up a bit...(the outside temperature that is), when I got in and started driving again, this time it worked!!! Next day (today) ...I had a similar experience. However, it only really happened once today. And when I pulled in my driveway... it was still working. Very ODD indeed. But I noticed that it only seemed to happen when it was very cold out (in the low 30's F, and especially lower with wind chills at 70-80 mph on the highway). As strange a question as this may sound... did Audi put in some kind of temperature sensor that disallows the use of A/C in low outside temperatures? I only ask such a crazy question because they do put in some quirky/unique/ingenious gizmos in our cars. Or is this intermittent problem just a visit by the gremlins... taunting me to make a donation to the Gods? Any thoughts would be appreciated. I know I don't need the A/C for a few months, but if I have to pay the Gods, I'd like to know in advance if possible.... TIA!! Jim (Oh, BTW, any listmember here with a black A6 quattro with Maine license plates JWI-1? Just curious... if so, I was the one, with MA plate J-GRIFF, on the Maine turnpike with you today (12/01)....Yeah... I was the non-quattro :-( guy who had to exercise a bit more caution passing in the left, snow-covered lane....ie.

This bread has a distinct, subtle flavor of anise seed and is slightly sweet. It's not sweet like a dessert bread but more similar to Hawaiian bread. The egg is baked along with the bread in the oven and makes the mini loaf a great breakfast for Easter morning.
My mom always talked about "Pane di Pasqua" and how her mother used to make it every year for Easter. I decided to renew that tradition and make it too! This year was the second year I've made it and each time it was a hit.
Pane di Pasqua – Italian Easter Bread
Makes 4-6 breads (depending on how big you want each loaf to be)
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 package Active Dry Yeast
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter – at room temperature
- 2 eggs
- 4-6 raw eggs (at room temperature), for placing on the bread
- 1 more egg for the egg wash
- 1/2 teaspoon anise seed
- Colorful sprinkles
- Olive oil
To Do:
- Mix together 1 cup of flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Heat the 2/3 cup of milk until luke warm – not boiling – about 120 degrees F.
- Add the warm milk and butter to the flour mixture (the butter must be room temperature and creamy!). Beat for 2 minutes on medium speed.
- Add in 2 eggs, another 1/2 cup of flour and the anise seed. Beat 2 minutes on medium speed.
- Using the dough hook on your mixer, stir in the remaining 1 and 1/2 cups of flour, a 1/2 cup at a time, to form a soft dough. You may not need to use all of the flour.
- Knead the dough in your mixer for 5 minutes, then for about 2 minutes by hand until it is smooth and elastic. If you do not have a mixer, knead the dough by hand for 10 minutes.
- Coat a large bowl with olive oil and place the dough in it. Turn the dough once so that it is lightly coated in oil.
- Cover the bowl with a damp cloth, set it in a warm, dry area and let it rise for about 90 minutes, until it doubles in size.
- If you haven't already, now is a good time to dye your raw eggs. Make sure they are dry and then lightly spray them with olive oil. Set aside.
- Once dough has doubled, punch it down, and then divide into 4 or 6 pieces – 4 for large loafs, 6 for smaller loafs. Divide each of those pieces in 2 and roll each piece out into a rope. Twist the two ropes together, form it into a ring and pinch the ends together. Repeat for each loaf.
- Place an egg right in the middle of each dough wreath. Place each loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Cover with a dry towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix up your last remaining egg and use a brush to coat the top of each loaf with that egg. Top with your colorful sprinkles.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes – until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly and enjoy!

I have been fortunate enough to talk with many successful people in my life so far and I have had the chance to ask them how they achieved the biggest goals in their own lives. In fact, it has been a quest of mine for the better part of the last 20 years to compile as much information about success and how it is achieved as I possibly could. That research has become the backbone of a book that I am currently in the process of writing.
I am going to let one of the big secrets of success out though, right here in this little ol' blog!
There are more than a few commonalities among the people I have had the pleasure of meeting and who have also achieved great things in their lives, but there is one that I think is really underrated. It's also under appreciated, and quite frankly, under used.
It's one that sounds really simple. In fact you've heard it so many times that in spite of my best efforts to build to a climactic revelation here, you are not going to be overwhelmed.
You ready?
Here it is: They don't quit!
You can call it perseverance if you like or persistence, but the point is that when anyone who is serious about achieving something worthy decides to stick to it no mater what happens, they will absolutely succeed. It may not come about immediately, but they will accomplish what they set out to if they just don't quit. Guaranteed.
The two reasons that 99.9% of people fail to accomplish greatness, fall short of their goals, never experience their dreams or don't end up living a passionate and fulfilling life are these: They either don't try…or they quit.
Failure is just a road sign that leads to success for these people. Being told they are crazy is like music to their ears. Going it alone and bucking the odds is like betting on a game that you have already seen. It's that solid as a formula!
Here's what makes this so powerful. And this will apply to you or me or anyone else on the planet; You are never beat until you surrender. You are only held back by the limitations that you choose to accept. And you have never failed until you quit.
"Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as reality. To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary, and it's punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth" – Bruce Lee
Isn't that quote fantastic? It has to be one of my all time favorites. Defeat is really only part of your reality if you decide to accept it. It's all up to you!
Otherwise it is merely a guide leading you to a better outcome and toward true success. If you can master that concept, you will be well on your way to achieving greatness.
Here's another one of my favorites. It's a little poem that I caught up with the other day for the first time in many years. It's simple and to the point. It doesn't use unfamiliar language and it certainly won't make the whole idea of not quitting sound any sexier. But, maybe if you read it with a new perspective, it will sound a little more profound. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Don't Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with it's twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out,
Don't give up though the pace seems slow, You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than, It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up, When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when things seem worse that you must not quit.

Four Enthroned Sibyls1501
Collegiata di Santa Maria Maggiore, Spello
On the vaulting of the chapel four enthroned sibyls are depicted. Their aedicula-like thrones differ only slightly from one another and fit nicely into the triangular vaulting compartments separated by broad ornamental bands. The texts of the sibyls' prophecies, referring both to Mary an to her child, appear on the faces of flanking altars topped by triangular pediments and richly decorated with a classical decor of masks and festoons. A pair of eagles stands in front of each altar.

Army's Future
Army's modernisation process is a disciplined and considered enterprise. It involves the transformation of the current Army into the Future Army, such that Army remains a capable, credible, and relevant force. This transformation is achieved through a continuum of processes, decisions, and actions. Modernisation includes the development and adoption of validated concepts and doctrine, adaptation and optimisation of force structures, and introduction and renewal of major systems, personnel policies, facilities and support architectures.
Modernisation begins with gaining an appreciation of the trends that might be apparent in future land operations. This occurs through rigorous intellectual examination of strategic guidance, future environments, emerging threats, and potential scenarios. You can access our Future Land Warfare Report here.
We then develop concepts that respond to this analysis to ensure Army is fit to fight – as part of a joint or coalition force – in the likely future environment. These concepts bridge the capability gap between what Army is now and what it needs to be. You can access our Future Land Operating Concept here.
Finally, we must effectively plan and coordinate the transition of the current Army through to the Army of the future. Army's most recent modernisation program has been Plan Beersheba. Army is now commencing detailed planning to modernise Army beyond Beersheba. An outline of this planning can be found in the attached presentation Modernisation from Beersheba and Beyond. Further details are also contained in a series of Building on Beersheba Discussion Papers.
Efforts to improve our strategic planning and modernisation processes are enhanced by continually investing in the intellectual capacity of Army's people. As part of preparing Army for the third decade of this century and beyond, Army is committed to enhancing its intellectual capacity in terms of thinking about future conflicts and security challenges. You can find out more about our intellectual efforts on our publications and research pages.

You Call, We Haul
Kiana Travel Blog› entry 10 of 38 › view all entries
I worked our first three nights until 3 or 4 a.m. under the midnight sun to perform a 300-hour inspection on the helicopter - the airframe two nights; engine, one. With the passing of summer solstice, arctic skies can become violent and spectacular but threatening weather drifted by to allow midnight maintenance at a casual pace. A cool breeze kept mosquitoes to a minimum. Each day, Gray was able to fly five or six sling-loads out to the expanding Omar site before his flight-time limit was approached (eight hours per day by the FAA regulations). Our machine flew strong and day by day Kiana Camp grew smaller.
The spacious kitchen tent was the heart of last year's five-star geology exploration camp. Now its gray wooden floor creaks and bounces without the weight of its white canvas, its heavy appliances and supplies, or the food and furnishings that filled it.
Just half way through the job, progress has been made but it seems the more loads that are airlifted out, the more are prepared. The disassembled camp lay scattered to await bundling into cargo nets. The oil-burning heaters, tent frames, plumbing, lumber, wiring, major appliances, furniture, and crates and coolers stuffed with camp and cooking gear all resemble a village yard sale.
The only structures remaining are two of the Weather-Port sleeper tents, the generator shed, and the two outhouses. Like so many of the old Alaska boom towns, Kiana Camp has lived its time of glory and is rapidly becoming a small piece of forgotten history - testament to modern man's ongoing, far-reaching search for precious metals. It's nice to be along for the ride.

Unemployment rate falls in July in Capital Region
The region's unemployment rate fell sharply this summer, according to the state Labor Department.
In the Capital Region, the rate was 6.4 percent in July. This compares to 7.9 percent in July 2012.
That means the job market is stronger in the Capital Region than in the rest of the state. Statewide unemployment in July 2013 was 7.5 percent.
Saratoga County had the second-lowest unemployment rate in the entire state, 5.6 percent. Montgomery County had the fifth-highest rate, 8.7 percent.
New York City still leads the state's in unemployment. Bronx County posted an unemployment rate of 11.9 percent, the highest in the state.
Hamilton County, with its traditional strong summer tourism economy, had the lowest unemployment rate in the state in July, 4.2 percent.
The Department of Labor determined the rates by following procedures set by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The rate is partially based on a telephone survey of 3,100 of the more than 7 million households in the state.

Cabin Fever? It exists. Not going to sit here and lie, working two jobs is going to suck. Why? Because I worked 9-5 at Zumiez and 5-10 at Gamestop. On top of that I even left Zumiez early but that did not change anything. It is beginning to blow.
I mean, I walked into work and I saw my friend, who is a security guard, and I told her of my hours.
She asked me why I have not killed my self yet and I told her the gangs in this mall will probably kill me first.
That is what has just been given to me.
I started at the bagel shop where I ran into my father who was at the front of the line and I cut his ass and bought something to eat. The people behind us were pretty peeved seeing as I came in, and started running stuff.
You know how I DO.
The lady told me I cut her and I said that my father was online before her anyway.
"Well that does not mean you get to order before me"
"Believe me lady, I can think of laws that say I am supposed to order before you"
"What is that supposed to mean? That I am being a racist? I AM NOT BEING A GOD DAMN RACIST"
People get SO up in arms when you call them a racist.
"Lady chill and take a joke. Are you stressed? There are some Asians at the mall that can cure that"
"Shut up and get your damn egg sandwich"
"I love you"
Needless to say I headed to work and nothing happened all day until these kids walked into Gamestop as I was closing and they ended up being the highlight of my day. Now let's pay attention. Massapequa kids are dumb. Yea that is how I said it. I am not a fan of them. Why? Because they have this whole "Massapequa = #1" vibe about them.
But hey, what can you do?
Now a very manly thing to do is to hit another man in the nuts. Why? Because that is what you do. So one kid hits the other in the nuts and then it is a free for all.
They all start hitting each other and one asks me,
"What would you do if I hit you in the nuts?"
"I would hit you in the nuts. Fuck security we will settle this like men."
Like men I say.


text: He said hi mom, I said HI, I love you... He said love you too (automatic response) then he said. I am not ready to come home because I am still mad at you. I said that is fair. We can talk more about that with your therapist. He said, it will take me five days because I am not over it. I said again, that is fair, good job for telling me. He said, and if it takes longer then it will be longer. OMG I sure as heck hope they are not giving him the idea he gets to fully decide. He needs clear instructions that mom is the boss because that is Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) 101!!!!!

What is the best way for students to learn about the entertainment industry? "You can take classes, and that's fantastic. Nothing for me motivated me and taught me more than hearing from people who were in the world doing this," executive producer and documentarian Kahane Cooperman said. Cooperman went on to say that hearing lectures from leading professionals in the industry at a young age motivated her more to pursue a career in the world of film. This is exactly the point that the Montclair Film Festival was hoping to get across at their educational event, Behind the Screen, on Sunday, December 6. The Montclair Film Festival brought multiple professionals from the film and television industries to Montclair State University to discuss various aspects of the entertainment field for its annual educational program. The panels were held throughout the day and were open to students and the community.
Cooperman and Academy Award nominated film editor Tim Squyres held two very interesting panels. Cooperman's panel discussed what it means to be a producer and her upcoming Amazon show The New Yorker Presents. Cooperman was the executive producer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart for eighteen years, has produced and made several documentaries, and is now the executive producer on Amazon's first documentary style series. She said that the title of producer does not have one definition. Instead, it is an "incredibly creative" and collaborative position. She described the role of producer as "the glue" of the show who is responsible for "tak[ing] all the millions of parts" and making them fit together.
Cooperman has worked on cable and streaming platforms and shared the difference between the two. "The Daily Show was a daily deadline. Four nights a week we were putting out about twenty two minutes of content that had to be turned around really, really quickly the day of," Cooperman explained. With The New Yorker Presents, which is currently still in production, it takes a lot longer to film each short film, which are based on articles from The New Yorker magazine. Cooperman explained that the show is being filmed on a television production schedule, even though it will only be streamable. She said that it is "a very, very different approach." Amazon also allows for riskier content and constantly pushes the boundaries by giving its showrunners "more freedom," according to Cooperman.
Cooperman also sees a bright future for multi-platform services. She said that anyone starting out in the business today should be "very excited because I think what digital has done is just totally broaden the horizon for opportunity for people and for content." Today, the traditional options of film and television are joined by endless forms of digital content websites and streaming services.
When asked about the importance of networking in the industry, Cooperman responded, "Oh my gosh! It is so important, it's ridiculous. … There are very few jobs that ever actually get advertised." Squyres feels the same way. "Networking is the most important thing. … It's all about who you know and how much you impress them," Squyres said.
During his panel, Squyres discussed the tedious process of film editing and his experiences with working with director Ang Lee. Squyres has edited all but one of Lee's films and was nominated for two Academy Awards for his work on Life of Pi and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. He used numerous clips from the films he has edited to explain how editing is done. His personal style is to start editing scenes right away to make life easier. If filming starts on a Monday, he gets the footage on Tuesday and gets to work. Squyres said that he may have one to two hours of footage that need to be cut into a one minute scene. To do this, he cuts the scene three times using multiple shots from different perspectives. He then sends the different cuts to the director to see whether all the necessary shots were filmed. Squyres said that it is very important to cut as you shoot to make sure each scene has the proper footage.
That first step is also Squyres favorite part of the job. "I really enjoy the assembly phase, taking a couple hours of dailies and trying to make it into a scene," he said. He also really enjoys sound mixing. As for the worst part of the job, "…with big movies, with big budgets, there's a lot of studio involvement and sometimes that's great. There's a whole process that you have to go through with testing, and sometimes that can get tiresome."
Squyres gave some good advice for aspiring film directors and editors. "It's important to remember that film is a collaborative art form. Movies are just too expensive. Nobody can be in charge, even the director has to be a good collaborator," Squyres said. He went on to say that it is "crucial" to be a good collaborator and have good people skills. For anyone that is not sure of what aspect of film they want to pursue, Squyres recommended trying a bit of everything. "Try editing, try camera, try sound…Try all those jobs and see what feels right," he suggested.
The Behind the Screen event was truly successful as students were able to learn more about the entertainment industry from some of the top professionals. Cooperman and Squyres were very happy to be able to inspire students and participate in the event. Cooperman's show, The New Yorker Presents, will be streamable on Amazon starting sometime in the beginning of 2016. Squyres' next film, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk directed by Lee, will hit theaters in the fall of 2016.

On this week's episode, I chat with business mindset alchemist, Holly Worton.
In 2009 Holly left a highly successful business running a group of eco hotels in Mexico to become a life coach. This was when all her "stuff" came up.
Trying to grow her business while remaining invisible made for a long and arduous process that wasn't about bad strategy or lack of knowledge. Instead, it was her own mindset getting in the way.
We chat about…
– Common ways mindset problems show up for women in service industries like life coaching
– Holly first discovered PSYCH-K when she first began working as a life coach.
– What is PSYCH-K and how does it work?
– How do you tell the difference between a block and something like bad business strategy?
– Tips for exercising your intuition muscle.
– Holly's podcasting journey.
– How Holly began her personal development journey.
– Tips for getting back into the flow when you're having a crappy day.
– If you're not being visible, not putting yourself out there, you're not marketing your business. No one's going to see you.
– There's no one technique for everyone. Everyone's got their own thing.
– If I'm taking action and something's not working I will stop and say "okay is this the strategy, do I need to try something else or is it a mindset thing?"
– When in doubt, muscle test.
– I block out time in my Google calendar for my morning exercises, which are kind of like meditation…but if I didn't it wouldn't happen.

Want to give your New Year's resolution to eat healthier a boost? Feel guilty about eating warm and fuzzy little farm animals? Overcome with loathing for all the hormone-laced dairy products you eat? Then try The Blind Faith Cafe. You have plenty of options at Blind Faith. Whether it's vegan tofu scrambled eggs for breakfast, a barbecue seitan sandwich for dinner, or a grab-n-go gluten-free cookie, you can satisfy your appetite and your social conscious at the same time.
To be honest, it wasn't my appetite or my social conscious that lead me to Blind Faith Cafe (BFC) on this past visit. BFC happens to be a favorite compromise spot that my friend Joan and I hit whenever we head into Evanston. We know they will have something we can both eat at a price point that we're both comfortable with — that, and I think that Joan is a bit smitten with their sauteed greens. They are yummy!
Many of the dishes at Blind Faith Cafe have an ethnic cast to them, but there are attempts to recreate American classics. On my last visit, I tried their tofu crab cakes and was surprised by the results. The crab cakes had the flavoring down and the sauce was fantastic, but the texture? As my friend Dave would say, it could have benefited from some actual fish. I was also a bit disappointed by the enchildas verde which lacked anything resembling verde sauce. They were delicious but not very spicy. However, Blind Faith makes magnificient salads and does not skimp on those ingredients. We enjoyed the eponymous salad that could have substituted for a main course – it had loads of avocado, nuts and dried fruit over a huge platter of mixed greens. On past visits, I've also enjoyed the Blind Faith burger, which is a rich and tasty vegetarian classic.
In addition to an extensive list of teas, shakes, smooties and healthful drinks, Blind Faith Cafe has a decent wine and beer list, which they rotate periodically. They make a point of marking places that pay attention to environmental practices or avoid additives to their products. I like the attention to detail. However, the healthy vibe at Blind Faith Cafe has never put me in the mood to drink there. Maybe I would enjoy it more if I did, but I can't bring myself to hoist a glass.
Service is slow at the Blind Faith Cafe. Every time I've been there, I've waited for service after being seated. This time it took over ten minutes to get glasses of water delivered to our table and another ten before we could place our order. The place is always busy and if you go during prime dining hours you can expect to wait for a table. Knowing this, we made a point of eating early and were still disappointed by the attentiveness of both the waiters and the support staff. However, I am impressed with how knowledgeable the wait staff is about their food and the attention they pay to the special dietary requests of their customers. Dietary concerns are, after all, their bread and butter.
If you find yourself in Evanston, the Blind Faith Cafe is a good choice. However, for the price, execution and attention to service, there are better options to be found in nearby Chicago. My recommendation is to spend a few more minutes in the car and head to either Alice and Friends Vegetarian Cafe or the Chicago Diner.
Blind Faith Cafe
525 Dempster Street
Evanston, IL
Price: You get a huge amount of food at Blind Faith for less than twenty dollars a person.
I give Blind Faith a 5/10.

Nike "may be going hard at soccer" by spending more than $40M around the World Cup -- more than "it has spent on any single event" -- but it is also "going soft ... trying to play it straight in the sport that matters most outside the U.S.," according to Stefan Fatsis, who examines Nike's growing soccer effort in the WALL STREET JOURNAL. Nike has climbed to third in the world and second in the U.S. in the soccer market, but "it hasn't cut into" adidas' nearly 40% "dominance." Reebok's former head of global sports marketing, John Boulter, on Nike: "For a long time, they were just the brash Americans throwing money at soccer. But as you watch the World Cup now, you're very conscious of the swoosh." Fatsis writes, "You can't help but be," as Nike personnel are visiting almost 70 French towns, the company built a $7M theme park in Paris and advertisements are "strategically placed along roads and subway stations leading to World Cup stadiums" (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 7/2). WORLD CUP NOTES: Mars Inc. said that sales of Snickers have risen 20% since the World Cup began. A current ad in England shows members of England's national soccer team eating the candy bar (BLOOMBERG/HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 7/2)... Overnight ratings for ABC's four games last weekend averaged a 2.9, or 1.7 million households. ESPN has averaged 582,000 households for its 23 games, while ESPN2 has averaged 292,000 households through 22 games. Univision has averaged 774,000 households for its 54 games (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 7/2)....In N.Y., WXTV-Univision averaged a 3.3/9 for its Argentina-England match on Tuesday, and for the final 15 minutes, it outdrew every TV station in N.Y., except for WABC, which had "Oprah" (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 7/2). A record 26 million people in Britain watched the match (Mult., 7/2).

You have to be truthful to know the bliss of Truth. You have to be happy to know what happiness is all about. To be happy and joyous is your natural nature.
If you are not happy and peaceful it means something is wrong within you. You have to be happy and at peace with yourself only then you are eligible to expand it.
When you are happy with yourself, your aura will ooze happiness which will definitely touch others around you. You do not have to make an effort to make others happy. Making effort is the outcome of some guilt. Making effort gives you the ego of doer ship. Making effort to make others happy means conscious and conditional state of affairs, calculative moves.
Everybody has the right to make himself happy. It is immaterial how they get it. Everybody has his own scale. In search of happiness one should be truthful. Without any guilt – fearless. Guilt can never make you truly happy. Guilt comes when you feel you are doing something immoral or you are neglecting you duties. Both are wrong when you want to do your duties to make others happy, it is fruitless effort. You cannot make others happy forever. With your effort you can only give momentary happiness.
Your deed should be so that it makes you happy and you are in no ones witness box. When we try hard to make others happy in the bargain we are making them dependant on our efforts.
They start demanding the same every time, all the time subconsciously. This demand depletes your energy. To give should be your own joy it should not be under any obligation, compulsion – designing, forcing, calculating and arranging.
You just give give give and give. Truthful giving, whether it satisfies others or not, it is not your problem. Do not give to satisfy others or expecting any results.
This is detachment. You should be happy with your truth.

2013 TrackChaser Report #20--Miami County Speedway, IN
Expand Messages
- TrackChasers:
Last Saturday Mike and I started the day at Purdue University, where the qualifying sprint races for the Grand Prix began in the morning. In the afternoon, we joined Roger Ferrell at the US 24 Speedway in Logansport. US 24 was kind enough to move up their starting time two and a half hours due to the cold. After Logansport concluded, it still was not really dark, so we decided to try for a third track on the day.
Indiana tracks canceled right and left on this very cold April day, some due to flooding and others due to the cold. But we were lucky as the two tracks that we set off to see both raced. And not only did they race, they gave us the opportunity to add a third track. Only 22 miles from Logansport was the Miami County Speedway in Peru. Both Mike and I had been there before. I had been there in 1988 when the track was called Circus City, Mike was there just last summer.
I started filming each track in 1982, but from 1982 through 1989 I used Super 8 movie film. It was in February of 1990 that I bought my first video recorder. Since then, I have tried to take ten minutes (more or less) of video at each new track I go to. In addition, I have slowly worked on replacing the filmed tracks from 1982 - 1989 with video. Any tracks that I've been to that I don't have still track pictures or video remain on my HitList in a different section. It's always good when I can get pics or video of a previously visited track while in the area for a new track visit. Since I didn't have video of this track it was a perfect opportunity to get video and knock a third track off the HitList for the day.
It took a little longer than expected to get to the track, as we encountered a flooded road and had to circle around. We ended up on the right road but going in the wrong direction. Mike, who can't hear half the time, all of a sudden developed super hearing and heard the cars racing in the other direction and he knew we should turn around.
We arrived in the middle of the features. The track is very similar to the track we just left in Logansport, although a bit flatter. The old wooden covered grandstand is pretty much just like I remembered it 25 years ago. Despite being only 22 miles from Logansport, they run the exact same five divisions of Micro Stocks. At least neither of the two tracks had 15 more classes of flat karts. If I had to choose between the two, I'd take Logansport.
It was amazing that they raced at all, as we sloshed from the parking lot to the track and upon entering, we saw a flooded infield. They were already halfway through the features when we arrived, and were no longer charging admission. The crowd was very small just like at Logansport, they may have had 100 spectators between the two tracks combined.
We got to see the last two features of the night, both wingless Micro Sprint mains. They were done at 9:45, so they knocked down their show in 2:45, actually faster than the 3:30 it took at Logansport. Good thing too, as by this time it was down to 38 degrees. We didn't get to see a lot of racing at Peru, but it was not the first visit for either of us. We did get a legit triple, add three different tracks for the yearly count, and I got to cross three Indiana tracks off the HitList, albeit the last from the video HitList. We didn't see the first race at all three tracks, but we sure as heck saw the last race at all three. We're still race fans.
Yet another fun and successful weekend on the road was in the books.
Next up is attempt number four at Little Diamond. No overnight trips for 20 days, as my 28th school year starts to wind down. As co-advisor of the school yearbook, it's a busy time as we start to pull together the book for this year. And as teacher of a brand new course next year, it falls on me to write the curriculum and choose the textbook.

Gourmet Treats
Land of some delicious cuisine including idli, dosa, sambar and rasam, the vegetarian fare is quite a delight. The Tamil staple diet is steamed rice with grains, lentils and vegetables.

When you're trying to sculpt your muscles to make them look their best possible, you might be tempted to search the market for "shortcuts". Doing tanning jabs with melanotan is a perfect example. Thought melanotan promises to transform pale skinned users into tanned models, this substance comes with some side effects. Other than the usual nausea, dizziness, stomach pains and all the other flu-like symptoms, some users have experienced anxiety.
Looking into the anxiety case
In any dictionary, anxiety is a feeling of restlessness or impatience regarding certain situations or events we cannot control. Just about any of us can feel anxious every now and then. This is a normal emotion and should not be a cause for concern. But when it starts to affect your day to day life and increase your heart rate out of the blue, you should at least look into it.
First thing to consider: could anxiety be just psychological? Considering melanotan has little to no clinical research behind it, it is not unusual to trigger some skepticism. Melanotan is mostly banned from selling, though it is not illegal to buy over the internet. And users know that, if not they wouldn't be buying it off the internet. So, since the drug is tested only by buyers on their own expense, trying something new makes people nervous. Also, people feel stressed when they inject something into their body, without knowing for sure what it is.
It is not excluded that people using melanotan are completely relaxed, and the substance itself causes the heart rate to increase. For such cases many health foods stores sell supplements that may help the body relax naturally. In any case there are ways to relieve anxiety on your own.
Ways to relieve anxiety
Most treatments for anxiety require medication released on prescription. But the anxiety caused by melanotan is supposedly temporary. So before gulping on pills, see what nature has to offer.
Chamomile is a natural remedy for anxiety, because some of its compounds trigger the same reaction of receptors as drugs like Valium. Also chamomile contains apigenin which seems to stimulate neurogenesis and serve as treatment for neurological illnesses and disorders.
Another natural remedy is valerian. This plant reduces anxiety without inducing sleepiness. Since it smells rather peculiar, most prefer to take it as capsule. But tea can be consumed as well.
Aromatherapy has been proved to be effective in cases of anxiety or panic attacks. Essential oils extracted from lemon balm, lavender, jasmine are widely recommended to those in need of relaxation.
Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes if you feel anxious. Whether is at the gym, or you go for a quick stroll, exercise releases endorphins that help nervousness go away. Breathing techniques are also useful, in case you're doing the melanotan jabs before bed. Many recommend the 4-7-8 breathing cycle. Basically you need to breathe in deeply for 4 seconds, keep the air inside for 7 seconds and let it out slowly for 8 seconds. Repeat until satisfied.
Whether psychologically induced or real, anxiety is a normal emotion and can be controlled. All you need is to master a few relaxation techniques and you're set.

text: This is a little embarrassing to ask but I'm going to do so anyway. I've got a pair of Nike Shox up for auction right now. They are just regular athletic shoes, nothing special. A potential bidder just emailed me and said he is thinking about the shoes for his wife and he wants me to send him a picture of me wearing them. I know there are a lot of weirdos and perverts out there. I know that sometimes people ask for pictures of you wearing things (especially shoes) because they want the pictures for their own "self enjoyment", if you know what I mean. ush: This has actually happened to me before. A man asked to see more pics of me wearing some high heeled sandals. I sent him some, and when he asked for more, I got suspicious. I didn't send any more, and he never bid on the sandals. Anyway, I think I am just going to ignore the request but I thought I'd see if others have run into this situation.

The only expectations you should have are just treat your date with respect and have fun. There's nothing you HAVE to do on a date.
It can be nerve wracking so I always recommend people do some physical activity like ice skating bowling or mini golfing for a date. It can help relieve you of stress.00|00|0

The Republican Establishment's plan to "win" the nomination for Marco Rubio is so obtuse that every GOP voter should be rebuking the attempt. Only Ted Cruz or Donald Trump have paths to win the nomination outright. Rubio's plan is a contested convention which will yield the same results in November as a Trump nomination. If he's nominated in this manner, the Democrats will win just like they would if Trump is the nominee.
Here's how the contested convention works. For a candidate to win the nomination, they have to come into the convention with 1,237 delegates pledged to them. When this happens (as it almost always does), the convention is more of a rally. It's a formality. It's a way for the party to highlight some speakers, announce some of their platform positions for the election, give some love to potential future candidates (see Barack Obama's Democratic convention speech in 2004), and generally rail on the Democrats.
In a contested convention, nobody has the delegates to win outright. After the first votes are cast, either someone is nominated or nobody is. When nobody is nominated, the second and subsequent votes are "free." Most states allow their delegates to be "brokered" towards the candidate of their choice. In such a scenario, the Republican Establishment's thinking is that the "smart people" will migrate towards Rubio since he's the Establishment's "chosen one."
Here are the two biggest problems with this (and there are several). If Rubio gets the nomination in this fashion, the Democrats will rightfully point out that he's a candidate who couldn't even get his own party's voters to support him. This will be a blow, but not as big as the other glaring problem with this scenario: Republican revolt. The vast majority of Trump's supporters and a good chunk of Cruz's supporters will be too angry to support Rubio. Some will begrudgingly vote along party lines just to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House, but many will simply stay home in November.
Don't get me started on the likelihood that Trump will go third-party if he's robbed of the nomination at the convention.
It's the only thing the Republican Establishment has in their pocket to prevent Cruz (because they hate him) or Trump (because he'd lose) from getting the nomination. Their endemic shortsightedness has them believing that they can survive if they can get Rubio into the nomination even when he loses in November. What they apparently don't understand is that this is their final stand, period. Their lies have been exposed and many of the conservatives of America will fight to bring proper governance back to the party and the country.
The Democrats want one of two things: a Trump nomination or a contested convention. Both would ensure their victory in November. At this point, the only possible way for the Republicans to win the White House is to nominate Ted Cruz whether you like him or not.

Title: Time for Love (A Harmony Valley Novel)
Author: Melinda Curtis
Series: Harmony Valley
Publisher: Harlequin Heartwarming
Release Date: August 1, 2015
Website: http://www.melindacurtis.net/
Book Summary:
A fresh start—for both of them
As a kid from a shattered family, Kathy Harris couldn't wait to get out of Harmony Valley. Yet here she is, back home, determined to rebuild her life and regain her young son's trust. But she doesn't expect to work miracles—unlike Dylan O'Brien, the enigmatic cowboy rumored to be a healer of misfit horses.
As they work to save an injured colt, Kathy starts to believe in a future with Dylan that she never thought possible. But one of Kathy's new rules is no more secrets…and Dylan has a big one. One that could destroy the life he and Kathy are building together.
There are some books that make people want to do better, try harder and not give up. I wasn't expecting to find that in this romance novel. Like many of the other novels written by Melinda Curtis, this one has meaty, messy bits without the eye rolling drama. She isn't afraid to tackle real life issues. (Alcoholism in this case) Her characters are flawed & realistic. Yet somehow, reading her novels don't feel like a burden or a psychology assignment.
I really liked Dylan and Kathy. I was drawn into their lives. I loved the chemistry between them. I loved the banter. There are also some great secondary characters. I didn't realize until I was doing research for this review that this is the third book in the Harmony Valley series. It is completely a stand-alone, but I'm excited to read about some characters who we read about again in this book.
There are a few twists in the book that I didn't see coming – court room reveal – wowza. I love when the author can bring out unexpected tidbits. Also, there is an epilogue!
Rating: 5 Stars
Content: Kissing, alcoholism and abuse shown in negative light, mild language

Dumbarton 0 Dunfermline 1
JIM JEFFERIES urged the Pars board to keep his stars in cash and take them back to the SPL.
Andy Barrowman's tap-in after just 50 seconds took the Fifers to the top of the table on goal difference.
Jefferies' side struggled with just one point in four games in December, as cash flow problems saw a delay in players' salaries.
But now two wins on the bounce sees them in high spirits and Jefferies hopes there are no more off-field problems. He said: "These players deserve tremendous credit. We are struggling financially and the players have had to waive their salaries, which is far from ideal. It must be hard for them at this time of year and hopefully we will get them back on an even keel.
"It is difficult when the wages are delayed, but hopefully it will all be sorted out.
"It would be easy for the lads to let it affect them, but they don't so now it is up to the club to play their part just like the players on the pitch. The crowds are starting to come and see us because word is getting around we work hard and play some good football.
"We are getting support from the fans and now we need support from the board as well.
"And I am sure they are working hard behind the scenes to do that."
Some had written the Pars off after their poor run, but Jefferies was always confident they would be in contention.
He added: "As long as we are still up there and challenging, people should not write us off.
"We have some decent young players there and we have only been together for five months." Sons went into the game on the back of two great results with shock wins over Falkirk and Morton but they got off to the worst possible start when they went behind to Barrowman's first minute goal.
Alex Whittle whipped in a low ball from the left, the Sons' defence couldn't clear and Barrowman popped up at the back post to tap home.
But that did not deter Dumbarton and they certainly didn't look like a side sitting bottom of the league.
Garry Fleming had a chance to respond immediately, but his shot from 12 yards was too tame and was easily held by keeper Paul Gallacher.
Fleming again showed great skill down the right to fire in a cross for Steven McDougall, but his shot was blocked by Jordan McMillan.
Sons' striker Jim Lister then came close when he brought down a long ball, took a touch and clipped the post with a shot in the ninth minute.
The Pars tried to weather the storm with Barrowman almost connecting with a cross in front of goal.
Then Shaun Byrne thought his curling effort from 20 yards was heading for the top corner until Sons keeper Jamie Ewings produced a fine one-handed save.
Lister had a great chance to level in the 16th minute, but he took a fresh air swipe at the back post and ended up on his backside. At the other end, Ryan Wallace dragged a left foot shot just a yard wide but back came Sons as they had another spell of pressure.
Nicky Devlin slipped the ball through for Mark Gilhaney, who raced clear, but Andy Dowie recovered well to nip in ahead of him and cleared.
Ross Forsyth then sent a deep cross to the back post, but Gilhaney mistimed his jump and the ball flew over his head. Moments later Scott Agnew whipped in a free-kick and Lister's header was deflected over.
Fair play to Sons who kept at it but as they pushed forward, the Pars got more chances on the break. Byrne fired from distance and just missed, Wallace then ran through on goal, but Ewings pulled off a great save one on one and then Barrowman swept the ball wide.
Dumbarton would not give up and when they broke Byrne was booked for pulling back Lister.
Dowie was also booked while Lister was then shown yellow for his reaction.
The Pars held on at the free-kick and will be satisfied after grinding out a vital win.
Goal hero Barrowman said: "It has been a great for us and it just shows you what can happen in this division.
"We know we have dropped points in games we should have won. People can point to the off field problems, but I don't think it is affecting the team. It was not ideal, but hopefully it is done with now and we can just focus on the football."
Despite the defeat Sons boss Ian Murray was still happy with his sides' efforts.
He said: "I told the players after the game they have got to be proud of their week's work.
"To get six points out of nine against those three teams is exceptional and it has given us a real chance of staying up.
"We were good in the first half and we were unfortunate to be behind at half-time.
"It was a terrible start losing a goal in the first minute, but we did well to get ourselves going again."
From RONNIE MacKAY at Bet Butler Stadium
Livingston 2 Partick Thistle 2
MARC McNULTY insists justice WAS done with his last-gasp leveller that kept Jags off top spot.
The Livingston striker was raging after ref George Salmond knocked back a strong penalty claim with his side still trailing 2-1.
But McNulty had the final say with his 92nd-minute strike as Thistle blew the chance to lead the title race.
He said: "It feels like a win getting the late goal and I think justice was done after the penalty claim.
"I was certain it was a spot-kick. I took a touch and Aaron Sinclair tripped me in the box.
"I don't dive and I felt it should have been given, but it worked out at the end with the equaliser.
"Credit to Partick. They are a good side and played well, but we were positive and we got the rewards."
First-half goals from Kris Doolan and Steven Craig put Thistle 2-1 up — with Anthony Andreu replying.
But Livi had the better of the second half and McNulty struck after Sean Welsh saw red for Thistle in the closing stages.
Boss Gareth Evans said: "A point was the least we deserved — we more than matched Thistle.
"You do start to fear the equaliser won't come but we kept going and got a reward for playing the right way."
Thistle made the most of their first real opening — with Doolan getting a lucky break in 25 minutes.
He tangled with Craig Barr as he attempted to meet Craig's cross — and then saw his shot rebound off Andy McNeil and still roll over the line.
But within four minutes Livi were level as Andreu came up with a moment of magic for his side.
Paul Paton failed to clear the danger and the Frenchman rattled a 20-yard drive past Graeme Smith into the top corner.
It was a goal fit to grace any stage but Thistle came back again and Craig fired them into the lead just after the half-hour mark.
Sinclair whipped in a perfect cross from the left and Craig found space to glance a header past McNeil.
McNulty felt he should have had a penalty in 75 minutes when he was barged in the box by Sinclair — but ref Salmond had none of it.
Thistle broke immediately and Ross Forbes broke through to square for Craig, whose low shot was saved by McNeil. Livi sub Jordan Morton shook the bar with a thumping free-kick and Welsh also hit the woodwork before picking up a second yellow for hauling down Morton in the last minute.
And Livi made their extra man count as Stefan Scougall crossed for McNulty to steer home his injury-time leveller.
Jags boss Jackie McNamara said: "It's a sickener to lose a goal like that and it was a bit naive from us at the end. We had our left-back running down the right wing at 2-1 and I just told them we have to be more streetwise. I also told Sean to stay on his feet before the red.
"But Livi were better in the second half and they merited the point for the performance. We had chances to kill it, but that's football.
"There was a very thin line between winning and drawing, but we should have held on."

Hamilton Accies 1 Falkirk 1
BAIRNS boss Steven Pressley saw star striker Lyle Taylor bang in his 17th goal of the season — and fears it could be his last for the club.
The 22-year-old added to his growing reputation when he gave the Bairns a first-half lead at New Douglas Park.
It was a goal straight out of Escape To Victory. Accies goalkeeper Kevin Cuthbert did his best
Sylvester Stallone impersonation by slicing a goal-kick just 30 yards to Jonathan Page.
The defender — signed from Motherwell last week — should also have done better than scuff his attempted clearance into the path of Taylor.
But the Falkirk ace could hardly have done any better — firing a low, right-footed drive from 15 yards past Cuthbert for his eighth goal in five games.
That white-hot form is likely to bring a bid during the transfer window and boss Pressley admitted: "One of the attractions for Lyle coming here was the shop window and I'm not kidded about that.
"I want to keep my best players but I also understand that their wages need to be paid."
Accies proved they could cock it up at the other end too.
After Johnny Flynn to leave himself one on one with Michael McGovern, Stevie May pulled his shot wide.
However, their hopes of salvaging something from the game increased in the 57th minute.
Defender Flynn, booked earlier, was shown a straight red for bringing down Gary Fisher as he attempted to get on the end of Ali Crawford's pass.
That sparked Accies into action as they went in search of an equaliser.
McGovern saved well from Crawford and May before Alex Neil saw a header cleared off the line by Blair Alston.
Falkirk looked to Taylor to relieve the pressure and the striker appealed for a penalty when he hit the deck after a tackle by Page.
However, Accies levelled when Falkirk produced some comic-cuts defending of their own.
Midfielder Stewart Murdoch bumped into his own keeper as McGovern tried to claim a Crawford cross and Accies sub Darian McKinnon forced the loose ball home from point-blank range.
McKinnon felt a draw was the least Accies deserved.
He said: "We absolutely battered them and had enough chances to win three games."

Raith Rovers 2 Airdrie 0
JIMMY BOYLE last night vowed to haul his struggling part-timers in for extra training in a bid to beat the drop.
Airdrie boss Boyle was left seething after seeing his second-bottom side turn in a toothless display at Stark's Park.
Brian Graham and Pat Clarke got the goals that ended Raith's two-month wait for a league win. Boyle blasted: "We are halfway through the season and what we're doing right now isn't good enough to keep us up. Something has to change.
"We have to work harder and we are going to be going in three nights a week now instead of two to try and get them working more and get their confidence and technique up.
"I still believe in them and I still think we can stay up — but our performances need to be a hell of a lot better than that."
Airdrie shaded the opening half-hour, with their teenage duo Liam Watt and Ross Davidson both going close.
But it was Raith who took the lead in 35 minutes when Clarke played Graham through to shoot across Grant Adam and into his bottom right-hand corner.
Willie McLaren fired one well over from distance as the Diamonds battled in vain to haul themselves level before the break.
But the visitors were left with an uphill task when Raith doubled their lead on 62 minutes.David Smith played Graham through, leaving the hitman to square for Clarke, who slammed in from close range.
Clarke was denied another in the 78th minute when Adam brilliantly turned his ten-yard blast wide.
Only a brilliant last-gasp tackle by Ricki Lamie stopped Graham scoring his second near the end.
Raith gaffer Grant Murray hailed his strike stars for sealing his side's first three points since November.
He said: "It was great to see both strikers score and link up like that.
"I've three strikers here, Pat, Brian and Greig Spence, who've shown they're well capable of scoring.
"I went with Brian and Pat and they linked up very well for us.
"It was great to get back to winning ways after a few draws and the disappointment of losing the derby to Dunfermline.
"The clean sheet was pleasing and if we keep it tight at the back like that, we have players who can get goals at the other end."

Cowdenbeath 1 Morton 1
PETER MacDONALD admits Morton must start producing title-winning performances against EVERYONE – not just the top teams.
The Cappielow side shot to the top of the table last month thanks to wins over title rivals Partick Thistle and Dunfermline.
But they have been knocked off their perch by the Pars — albeit only on goal difference — after a home defeat by bottom side Dumbarton and this draw.
MacDonald scored to secure Ton a point after Cowden loan star Liam Caddis gave the part-timers the lead.
But the Morton striker knows they can't afford many more slip-ups like this one in the title race.
He admitted: "It's disappointing because you need to win games like this if you are to be contenders. The games against Partick and Dunfermline take care of themselves, but these are the games you need to get victories in as well.
"Players do not intentionally go out and play badly against teams below them. Sometimes it happens that way and it has happened in the last two games. We must get back on track."
Morton boss Allan Moore echoed those sentiments — and slammed his side's first-half display.
He revealed: "I went mental at the boys at half-time.
"It's all very well beating the teams around you, but you have to pick up points at places like this as well. I was really disappointed with the defending — we're not good enough to give people a goal of a start and be chasing the game."
Cowden boss Colin Cameron named loan signings Caddis, Kane Hemmings and Sam Stanton in his starting line-up and Rangers kid Hemmings nearly had a goal on 18 minutes when he created a yard of space for himself on the edge of the box but his effort was beaten away by goalkeeper Derek Gaston.
Caddis then prodded wide after beating the offside trap, but that only got his eye in and he soon found the net.
Played in by a superb ball over the top by Colin Cameron, the 19-year-old allowed it to sail into his path before dispatching a left-foot volley across Gaston into the bottom left-hand corner.
With Moore's half-time rant still ringing in their ears, the visitors came out flying at the restart.
They were level within six minutes of the restart when Cowden didn't defend a corner properly, Kevin Rutkiewicz headed the ball to the back post and
MacDonald gleefully lashed an unstoppable volley over Thomas Flynn and into the net.
Weatherson scorched Flynn's palms with a 25-yarder and Rutkiewicz missed a chance as Morton chased the winner.
It wasn't all one-way traffic and Ton keeper Gaston saved well from both Stanton and Hemmings in the final ten minutes.
Cowden player-boss Cameron said: "We created a lot of chances and could have had more.
"I was pleased with the three boys who came in on loan. I wanted to freshen things up."
