Instead it was a stunning effort from India's comeback kid Yuvraj Singh which allowed the home side to win the one-off T20 game, chasing down Australia's target of 202 with two balls to spare.
But if not for one crucial moment falling in India's favour, Australian captain George Bailey felt his side would've finished in front.
QUICK SINGLE: Tendulkar to retire after 200th Test
Singh only offered one chance in his unbeaten match-winning 77, which powered India to a six-wicket victory.
With Clint McKay bowling, Singh flicked a length delivery of his pads and seemingly over the fence for one of his five sixes in the outstanding 35-ball innings.
Shane Watson, fielding on the deep square leg boundary, spectacularly fielded the ball over the rope and attempted to acrobatically fling it in the air to regather in the field of play.
But he was unable to plant his feet inside the rope before regathering the ball.
"(It's a) game of inches," Bailey said after the match.
"Watto nearly catches him on the fence there and that's a different game.
"...If we could've found a way to take a wicket that would've changed everything as well.
"Particularly Yuvraj. If we could've forced a wicket (it changes everything).
"And we were close, we (almost) had him caught on the fence a couple of times. But just couldn't manage it."
Earlier, after being sent in, Australia posted 7-201 on the back of an excellent 89 from Finch, who was ably supported with cameos from Glenn Maxwell (27 off 13) and debutant Nic Maddinson (34 off 16).
Just as he did with his world record 156 against England in August, Finch combined the brutal with the unorthodox to send India's attack to all parts of the boundary.
Ultimately his 14 fours and one six pieced itself together as a composed knock of 89 as Australia passed 200 for just the sixth time in T20s.
It took a spectacular caught-and-bowled from Vinay Kumar (3-25) to halt the powerful right-hander.
"As disappointing as it is to lose there were some real positives to come out of it," Bailey said.
"Finchy was outstanding again, Nic Maddinson right behind him which was great to see.
"Maxy played beautifully.
"...There were some positives in amongst the disappointment of losing."
For Australia, the seventh ranked T20 nation, the loss was the seventh from the past eight matches.
The feeling of letting a victory slip away would be amplified by the fact they had India at 4-100.
That was when skipper MS Dhoni (24no) arrived at the crease, with his unbeaten 102 run partnership with Singh sealing Australia's fate.
"We've had long partnerships in the past," Singh explained.
"We have a very good understanding between us."
The teams now prepare for seven one-day matches.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's wedding should be a small, quiet, low-key affair – modest, understated and fairly low energy. Not!
Celebrity wedding planner David Tutera expects the opposite, predicting a supremely fun and lavish event as the star couple tie the knot in Italy.
"I think they're going to have a very fun wedding. It's going to be a young environment … very colorful, lots of lighting, lots of guests, and probably very over the top," he tells PEOPLE.
What can we expect from Biel's dress? "I would see her in a mermaid gown, which will show off her beautiful shape," the host of WE TV's My Fair Wedding says. "I see her in an off-white dress, sweetheart neckline, not much detail in sparkle or lace, maybe a silk dupioni fabric used with a modest train along the back."
As for the location, he predicts it will lend some Old World charm, but without being old-fashioned.
"I definitely can see them embracing the culture of Italy, in the style of the food," he says, "but still keeping it fun, still keeping it young, and still filled with color and energy."

Vera Owens' Story
Colon Cancer Didn't Break my Stride
The Diagnosis
Avid runner Vera Owens always has lived a healthy lifestyle. At 68, she exercises every day, maintains a healthy weight and does not eat junk food. But in June 2009, she experienced the health scare of a lifetime.
Vera, whose mother died of colon cancer at the age of 73, must undergo a colonoscopy every five years. Experts recommend a colonoscopy once every 10 years after the age of 50, but because of Vera's family history, she gets tested more often.
As soon as her gastroenterologist, Nick Sharma, M.D., came out with the results, Vera knew something was wrong. "He said he removed some polyps, which didn't surprise me," Vera says. "But then he said there was a tumor on my colon, and preliminary tests showed it was cancerous.
"I felt so ashamed," she admits. "I felt like there was something I could have done to prevent the cancer."
The Treatment
Dr. Sharma referred Vera to Janette Gaw, M.D., colorectal surgeon, who encouraged Vera to have a laparoscopic partial colectomy to surgically remove the tumor within one week. Dr. Gaw told Vera to be prepared for a seven-day hospital stay, but Vera was discharged after only two-and-a-half days.
"Because Vera was in such great health—other than the tumor—and her surgery was done with a camera through a small incision, her recovery time was much shorter than most patients," Dr. Gaw explains.
Dr. Gaw stresses the importance of getting screened. "Colorectal cancer is treatable, but it is also preventable," she says. "Yet despite this, only half of adults older than 50 have been screened."
Going The Distance
Less than three months after her surgery, Vera began running again. In October 2009, a follow-up colonoscopy revealed no polyps and no cancer. In December, she successfully completed her first half marathon since her cancer diagnosis. She ran 13.1 miles in two hours and seven minutes.
Vera strives to educate not only her family and friends about the importance of colorectal cancer screening, but also the community. She and Dr. Gaw co-chair the Colon Cancer Coalition's Fort Myers "Get Your Rear in Gear" 5K run/two-mile walk. Funds raised facilitate public education, screening and treatment of colorectal cancer in Southwest Florida.

From a home decorating standpoint, the term wrought iron
commonly refers to ornamental cast iron pieces that are created for decoration. The industrial definition of
wrought iron is commercially pure iron that has been worked into a finished product. However, home decor that
is referred to as "wrought iron" today is commonly made of mild steel, which is a combination of iron and a
small amount of carbon. Unlike pig iron, which is a high carbon content metal that is very brittle and not easy to
shape, mild steel has the same properties as iron - it is soft and easy to form - and it's also relatively
inexpensive. It is commonly misspelled and mispronounced as rod iron or rot iron.
In early times, wrought iron was used to help protect windows and doors from intruders in addition
to being decorative in places such the Canterbury Cathedral and the Notre Dame de Paris. Home decorating with
wrought iron really started increasing in popularity around the 16th century. From the castles of
times past to the most common wall decor available today, wrought iron is a timeless material for
items around the home, both indoors and outdoors.
When it comes to decorating and furnishing your home with ornamental iron, there are
many products to choose from, including:
Large retail stores such as Lowes and Pottery Barn are good places to find wrought iron items
for sale. Purchasing wholesale wrought iron directly from the dealer is a good way to get discount prices. eBay is
another great online site to find a wide selection of wrought iron products at great prices. There
are some very nice antique wrought iron items that can be found no where else.
Whether you are looking to add style with wrought iron to a bedroom, dining room, or
backyard, decorative iron works for any part of your home and any decorating style. Finding the
perfect iron items for your home has never been easier. The internet makes it easy to find and purchase
just about any wrought iron decoration you may be looking for. You can even get started decorating your home

What Would Mama Walton Say? Michael Learned Loves a Taxi-driving Man, Will Parker
Such homespun sentiment is worthy of Olivia Walton, but the relationship defended here is actress Michael Learned's own. Her man is William Parker, an ex-actor, part-time taxi driver and struggling writer who, at 30, is eight years her junior. Given their age difference ("I worry about it only when I project into the future," she says), her overwhelming TV popularity and her three almost-grown sons from the first of two marriages, Michael and Will each day face more emotional peril than ever visited Waltons' Mountain.
"Will said one time that if my success became a problem it was his problem," explains Learned. Will adds, "I'm in love with the woman, not somebody known to people on television. I think I have a strong enough image of my own self-worth so it's not a problem."
They met six years ago playing Antony and Cleopatra in San Diego summer stock but remained only pen pals until Will telephoned last fall. Michael's two-year second marriage to Glenn Chadwick, a master theater carpenter, was breaking up and "the last thing I wanted was another relationship. I was prepared to live alone for the rest of my life. When we decided we were more than friends, I was scared. But I decided the most important thing was Will and me."
The bloom hasn't faded in the six months since Will moved into her three-story, tree-shaded Hollywood home. Michael's three sons (Caleb, 19, a carpenter; Christopher, 17, an aspiring drummer; and Lucas, 14, who's still in high school) live with them, though the two oldest have their own separate quarters on the property. Will is careful not to play father or even big brother. "I just enjoy them, that's all." "He's open to them and they're open to him," Michael agrees.
Will, who has played Shakespeare to Shaw on the summer stock and repertory circuit, is currently making the difficult transition from actor to writer. "I love acting but sort of gravitated away from it in Los Angeles," he says. "I made the rounds and got nowhere. There was a gradual disenchantment. I had a natural facility for writing and found it more rewarding than acting." So far Parker's scripts and TV pilots remain unpurchased. ("They have me on hold," he suggests hopefully.) Meanwhile he continues to drive a cab part-time (usually nights) out of nearby Culver City. "It's been an education I couldn't get in school," he muses. "There is a whole other reality out there on the streets I was not exposed to, growing up in a protected, suburban environment."
Born in San Francisco, Will was raised an only child in Kingston, N.Y. by his mother and stepfather, a real estate investor. (He met his natural father, a marketing executive, only five years ago and since has become friendly with four half brothers and sisters.) After almost three years as a frustrated math and science major at Hobart College, he transferred to Hudson Valley Community College, appeared in a play and decided the theater was for him. He switched to Ithaca College for his BFA and did graduate work in drama in San Diego.
Michael, who was born in Washington, D.C., says her parents never explained why she was given a boy's name (except that they had a thing for strange names—Michael has a Sabra and a Dorit as sisters and a half brother christened Tarquin). Her father, an ex-Army officer, was a gentleman farmer and newspaper editor in Connecticut before being posted in 1950 to the U.S. embassy in Austria as a civilian Army employee. "I was enrolled in a village school near Salzburg, although I didn't speak a word of German," Michael recalls. "For a long time I resisted seeing The Sound of Music, but when I finally did I cried. We really did sit on hillsides making daisy chains and singing." Next came two and a half "horrible" years in an English boarding school in Hertfordshire. ("I don't even talk about my schooling. Will is explaining algebra to me.")
She did, however, discover Macbeth and acting. At 16 she apprenticed at Connecticut's Shakespeare Festival, where she fell in love with actor Peter Donat, then 28. "My parents thought he was too old and sent me back to England. Ten months later I returned and we were married." Before her 20th birthday she had two babies. "We were making $80 a week between us," she remembers of those struggling off-Broadway days. She and Donat escaped to Canadian TV and in 1965 to San Francisco and the American Conservatory Theatre (ACT).
"I thought to be a woman meant being a superwoman, that you could work but nobody should know it," Michael reflects. "I used to pride myself on the fact that I kept a house running and never burdened anybody. But I hated the world. I still feel resentment. This was not imposed on me by Peter or anyone else. It was my own equation." When friends urged her to see a psychiatrist, "I'd answer, 'Why me? I'm not suicidal. My house is clean, meals on the table, fire going, fresh flowers everywhere.' But that was on the outside. It's taken me until now even to talk about it, and that was a good chunk out of my life." (She finally saw a therapist then and still sees one.)
Her marriage to Donat collapsed, and in "bad shape" she drove to L.A., almost broke, checking into a motel amid Hollywood's massage parlors, "where a tenant got mugged every other night." Michael expected to return to San Francisco for an ACT tour, but in the meantime she tested for The Waltons. "I felt like the biggest fool," she remembers. "I didn't understand a word the director said to me. When my agent called to say I got the part, I dropped the phone and jumped up and down and screamed."
After five seasons and three Emmys for her sensitive portrayal of Olivia Walton (the role, she says, "saved my life"), Learned may be trying to reestablish herself off-TV. (The Waltons is a ratings gamble now that Richard [John-Boy] Thomas has left the show.) In June she returned to San Francisco for an unconventional one-woman drama, Miss Margarida's Way, in which she bared her legs and cursed a lot. Later this month Learned is planning a cameo appearance as Marlon Brando's wife in Francis Coppola's Apocalypse Now.
"I realize there are no guarantees in life, even though I'm happier now than I've ever been," she ruminates. "With Will, there is a deep sharing like I've never felt before. I used to love people for what they could be. I thought love was how hard you tried and how much you sacrificed and suffered. That is not love," she says. "Acceptance is."

Wool yarn makes these felted pumpkins a great decoration for the Halloween and Autumn season. In a few easy steps you can have these pumpkins decorate your home from head to toe.
For each pumpkin, you will need:
- 30yd/27m, worsted weight wool yarn (MC)
- Lengths of worsted weight yarn for "furrows" and stem
- One pair needles and one pair double-pointed needles, size 4mm (US6/CAN8)
- Net fabric or nylon stocking
- Polyester or acrylic fiberfill
Felting Tips
- Always use a natural fiber yarn obtained from an animal source, most often wool.
- Do not use a wool yarn that is labelled "superwash".
- The most efficient felting method is a full washing machine cycle set at "Hot" or "Whites".
- It may require two or more washing cycles to obtain the felted finish.
- Allow felted projects to dry thoroughly before adding finishing pieces.
Finished Size
The finished size is the measurement after felting and finishing of the pumpkin. These pumpkins are made by wrapping yarn around a fiberfill form. The size of the pumpkin will be determined by the yarn weight used and the size of the fiberfill ball. Approximate finished diameter, using worsted weight yarn and a 3 (4, 5)"/8 (10, 12)cm diameter ball of fiberfill: 2 (3, 4)"/5 (8, 10)cm.
- Form fiberfill into a ball.
- With MC, wrap around the fiberfill ball, keeping yarn in place with thumb at center top and third finger at center bottom. Do not wrap too tightly nor too loosely but evenly around to cover so that no fiberfill shows through the wrapped yarn. Keep the shape rounded as you wrap so that the "pumpkin" does not become flattened. Darn in yarn end at center bottom and secure with a small knot.
- Place the pumpkin into a square of net fabric or a nylon stocking. Knot or tie securely to keep pumpkin in its rounded shape.
- Felt the pumpkin until the surface has become dense and matted.
- Remove the pumpkin from the net fabric or stocking, cutting if necessary.
- Correct the rounded shape and allow the pumpkin to dry thoroughly before completing the finishing details.
- With a double strand of CC, wrap the yarn tightly around the pumpkin from bottom to top four times, creating eight evenly spaced sections. Secure the yarn at center bottom of pumpkin. Darn in yarn ends.
Stem (make 1)
- With CC, leaving a length of 8"/20cm at beginning and with double-pointed needles, cast on 5 sts. Work I-Cord as follows; *Knit all sts. Do not turn work but slide stitches to the right end of needle. Rep from * until 10 rows completed. Bind off, leaving an 8"/20cm length of yarn. Darn bind off length of the yarn back through stem. Position stem at center top of pumpkin and join. Darn in yarn ends.

Fedora 18 Release Notes Made by Developers
Fedora 18 is almost upon us and it seems they need the help of the community once more in putting together the release notes for the new version.
According to the developers of Fedora, each version of the operating system comes with new features and retires older ones. The Fedora Documentation Project needs to reflect these changes.
"The release notes are divided up into categories, or 'beats.' Each beat is kept by a volunteer who follows mailing lists, changel… (read more)

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over daily movements, we do like to keep an eye on market changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
For every one stock that advanced, more than four fell in trading on Wall Street Wednesday as investors headed for the exits following news of a budget agreement on Capitol Hill. You'd think a brokered deal across party lines putting our nation on a more fiscally responsible path would be met with jubilance in the stock market, but instead the deal was met with widespread selling. The S&P 500 Index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC ) lost 20 points, or 1.1%, to end at 1,782.
Mining equipment maker Joy Global (NYSE: JOY ) ended as one of the most dismal performers in the 500-stock index, shedding 5.5%. The Milwaukee-based company reported weak results for its most recent quarter, and projected abysmal performance into the next fiscal year as well. One glaring problem that my colleague Neha Chamaria thinks should worry long-term investors is Joy Global's lack of diversification, which, Neha argues, essentially leaves the fate of the company in the hands of the mining industry.
Cloud-based sales management platform Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM ) was another standout laggard, falling 4.3% in trading. It's not shocking that a stock like Salesforce -- an unprofitable company in which more than 99% of outstanding shares are owned by institutional investors -- should fall on a day like today. With shareholders taking gains in every corner of the market, this speculative cloud technology play had no reason to advance today. Although Salesforce has earned the respect of the market over the years and has impressive name recognition, there isn't a value investor in the world with their money behind this stock and I'm skeptical of its potential in the long run with the company still losing money.
Finally, iron and coal miner Cliffs Natural Resources (NYSE: CLF ) dropped 4.1%. Cliffs' sell-off makes even more sense than Saleforce's -- coking coal prices are expected to continue their slump going forward, and countries like Australia are making it tough for coal prices to do anything but decline. Aussie exports of metallurgical coal are expected to jump about 8% from 2012 this year, to nearly 160 million tons. With supply continuing to increase and coal prices perhaps at elevated levels as Asian producers stock up for the winter, the outlook in the short term doesn't look promising.

LAHAINA - After watching five teammates lose finals, Chanse Uyeda and Justin Sadang had seen enough.
Uyeda, the defending state champion at 145 pounds, moved up two weight classes and won the 160 final and Sadang, a B wrestler, followed in the next match with a title at 171 in front of about 800 fans Saturday night in the Lahaina Civic Center at the 44th annual Maui Invitational Tournament.
They were two of Lahainaluna High School's three boys champions - Bodean Bates capped the night with a pin in the heavyweight final - and their efforts led the Lunas to their third straight MIT team crown.

"I think it was big," Uyeda said of capturing the first individual crown for his team. "I think the team could have done a lot better, should have been in more condition. We just didn't have it at the time."
With eight finalists, the Lunas rolled to the boys team title with 237 points, nearly double that of second-place Mililani (119.5). Punahou won the girls title with 115 points, 25 more than Lahainaluna.
Uyeda beat teammate Giovanni Perez 12-5 in his final and said he had fun watching Sadang, his school's B wrestler behind teammate Justin Taylor, who finished in fifth place.

"That was awesome, I don't think (Sadang) has made it to the finals before, so that was good for him, nice to see him win," Uyeda said.
Sadang, a senior who has limited time on the varsity mats, had a wide smile on his face following his 10-4 championship win over Iolani's Spencer Kiehm, who beat Taylor in the semifinals. Sadang watched Uyeda's match and said it got him ready.
"I train with him, like, every day, so I wanted to see him win," Sadang said.
Watching the first five Lunas take the mats in the finals was a different story for Sadang.
"That made me really scared because a bunch of my teammates went down and, I don't know, I really didn't want to go down with them," Sadang said. "This was the first tournament (of the season), so it was pretty important to me."
Three matches later, the Lunas capped their night when Bates pinned Zachariah Mason of Waianae in 3 minutes, 17 seconds.
The other Maui Interscholastic League boys winners were Austin Bloch of King Kekaulike (145) and Danny Weld Ebank of Baldwin (215).
Bates said he was inspired by Uyeda and Sadang.
"I was watching them and that fired me up, especially my coaches and my parents," Bates said. "They really told me to kick it in gear and bring one home for Lahaina."
All three champions said the Lunas' eyes are now squarely on next weekend's Hawaii Wrestling Officials Tournament on Oahu where all of the contenders in the state will be in attendance. The MIT drew just 15 schools, and Bates had just two matches during the two-day tournament.
"The Officials is a really, really big tournament for us," he said. "That's where all the big-time state guys go, so it will be there where we see what we got for this season and see what we have to work on."
Conrad Bolor, the Lunas' co-head coach, said that Bates put an exclamation point on the night for the Lunas, the six-time defending MIL champions and third-place finishers at state last season.
"Bo finished it very strong for us," Bolor said. "Next week will gauge where everybody stands."
In girls action, the Lunas got crowns from Kiana Yamat at 120 and Precious Jaramillo at 125. Punahou showed up unexpectedly and walked away with the team title after winning five of the 11 weight classes.
The Buffanblu are the three-time defending state girls champions, while Lahainaluna grabbed the runner-up trophy last year when all seven of its wrestlers placed. Four of those placers were seniors.
"Having Punahou here really helps us," Bolor said. "Especially Precious and Jina (Miya-moto, the 130 runner-up)."
Jaramillo was an All-American at two national junior tournaments over the summer, the first Luna wrestler ever to garner that status. She pinned her two opponents here in a total of 2:09.
The All-America status - she was fifth in both the Asics Junior and Cadet national tournaments - "means a lot to me, it means a lot," Jaramillo said.
Now, improving on her fifth-place finish at state last year is on her mind. Catching Punahou will be nearly impossible, but repeating as runner-up would be a major step for the Luna girls.
"We need to take what we learned here into the rest of the season," Jaramillo said.
Molokai's Mikayla Pico won at 103 and Hana's Makamae Smith won the 220 title.
Official Duane Cabingas, a 1984 Lahainaluna graduate, traveled from his home in Las Vegas and refereed in the MIT for the first time. He is a longtime referee in Nevada.
"When I was with Lahainaluna there were only three big schools and two small schools (in the MIL)," Cabingas said. "To come back and get invited to officiate the MIT, to see all these schools and programs rising up, they are just doing a very, very good job on Maui and around the islands. It is really an honor to be here."

Freshman Kathryn Cooke removed the female mannequin's purse and dumped its contents onto a table.
More camps
The program will offer four more camps for students this summer, focusing on graphic innovations, marketing, networking and computer service. Some spots still remain for those, as well as for courses this fall.
Students who want to take classes at Lowcountry Tech go to the downtown campus at 1002 King St. during the regular school day, then return to their home school. The program offers courses in graphic design, networking, cybersecurity, marketing and entrepreneurship, green energy and construction, and keyboarding.
Parents are encouraged to call the program 724-0131, stop by the school, or go to ccsdschools.com for more information.
The Hanahan High freshman combed through the pile searching for a flash drive with "stolen" information that could compromise a company's security. After about two minutes, she found it cleverly hidden inside a pen, and she spent the next eight minutes of the time exercise trying to find an embedded file.
"It was hard," she said. "You didn't know what to check first."
The simulation was an effort to give students some hands-on experience related to cybersecurity. The inaugural, weeklong Palmetto Cyber Security camp was hosted by the new Lowcountry Tech Academy and developed by Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center employees. It was open to students in any Lowcountry school district.
"We're trying to create some excitement," said Bill Littleton, cyber forensics lead for SPAWAR, which is a Navy command that provides high-tech engineering services to government agencies.
Lowcountry Tech Academy opened to Charleston students this spring, and its classes are housed at the renovated former Rivers Middle School building on the peninsula.
The Charleston Charter School for Math and Science uses the other 60 percent of the building.
The camp this week is part of a broader effort to raise awareness about the academy, as well as give students exposure to the kinds of programs it offers. The program also hosted teachers to provide more information on offering cyber clubs and competitions.
"We're starting to really brand ourselves," said program director Sarah Earle.
The program launched this spring with about 120 students, and Earle aims to more than double that to about 350 this fall. About 180 are signed up thus far, and the program still is accepting students.
Lowcountry Tech will be among the first in the state to offer classes in cybersecurity, which Littleton helped develop. Cooke, the Hanahan High student, said she has learned about forensics in school, but it focused on physical evidence at crime scenes, rather than encryption or hidden files. She said she was learning a lot and was enjoying it.
For Lawton Mizell, a senior at Military Magnet Academy, the camp fit in with one of his passions — technology. He wants to major in computer science, but his school doesn't offer any of those classes. He has sought out other ways to fill that void, such as buying books to teach himself and finding an after-school robotics club elsewhere.
He took networking at Lowcountry Tech this past spring, and he would like to take another class this fall if his schedule allows.
"It prepared me for the future," he said. "It gave me a good understanding of how (networking) works."
Mizell appreciated the chance to learn more about cybersecurity at the camp, and he said he is grateful for Lowcountry Tech.
"It's great information for kids who want to learn it," he said.

Free things!
Farmleigh House in the Phoenix park is a summer delight in itself, all big windows and lush grounds, but add in a salon series (in the ballroom, no less – swit-swoo!) and the magic word FREE and it's pretty close to paradise. From Tuesday, July 21st to Wednesday, August 11th (my sister's birthday) they're running a series of concerts that encompass a fairly hefty range of musical genres in the gorgeous surrounds of this one-time Guinness-owned estate. Singer\Songwriter Julie Feeney kicks things off on July 21st, followed by jazz pianist John Taylor, then trad duo Hayes & Cahill, and culminating in some Turkish/Mediterranean music in Tarab with the Chinese/Irish blend of The Xi'An Si. Did I mention it's FREE? You just have to enter the lotter, at www.salonseries.ie. For more information on this and further cultural goodies at Farmleigh this summer, go to www.farmleigh.ie.

Seems like I've seen it all (I've seen it all)
And I've been through heaven and hell
These times are changin' it's hard to face (hard to face)
So many paths to get there
But I see only one way out
Tough times have made me lose my way (lose my way)
Cuz I'm feelin', as if I've lost my mind
Like a broke dick dog and I thank you.
Cuz I'm feelin', as if I've lost my mind
Like a broke dick dog and I think you know my kind.
I'm tired of comin' out on the losing end (losin' end)
Sick of snide remarks under breath
It's up to me and it's time to make a change (make a change)
I been down and I been beaten
I pick myself off the floor
Wonder how many you been through the same (through the same)

every time price get above 20, even in up market for mlp's today
looks like the same someone still hitting the sales button up to end of year, hopefully they will get done sometime in 2011
i think ,unfortunately,that those sellers hold more then our board members hold by a large amount.
this selling can continue thru all of 2011.howeverv like you i hope it doesnt.
good investing.
happy new year to all longs on this board.
Looks like whoever has been distributing his stock decided to take a day off. Maybe he's taking an early Christmas vacation. Anyway, Merry Christmas to everyone on the message board and thanks for the excellent posts during the year. 2011 looks like it will be another great year for Breitburn and the unit holders.
ditto on good year next year for bbep and merry christmas to all and happy holidays
Line & EVEP have been up the past 5 trading days BBEP is stuck with a big seller that is distributing their shares. Wish they'd get aggressive would like more shares just a little cheaper-please!
I usually have a hard time buying more than a few thousand shares without popping the price. Today I had no trouble buying 40K in 5000 share lots and they just filled the order every time and the price didn't waver much at all. What a treat....I love this stock even though Cramer can't seem to say a good word about it.
Perhaps I like it because Cramer can't seem to say a good word about it..... GLTA and Merry Christmas!
memo to myself
sell every november 31 buy back jan2 following year
with a relatively huge position in a few hands majority of tax positioning done in dec.
just a theory.
Kudos to Oropan. You need sellers to provide buying opportunities for us.
Don't complain, take advantage of it
Ouch! this spreading out hurts.
Your observation is correct. There is a consistent pattern of distribution which shows up in a one-minute candles chart. As can be shown in an "On-BalanceVolume" analysis, the selling volume picks up with demand and drops off when buying ebbs. This has been going on for quite a few months and takes place when there is an increase in demand for the stock. Likewise when there is little activity (few buyers or sellers) there seems to be relatively small orders placed which moves the stock price up $.10 - $.16 on only a few hundred shares, restoring the price for later high volume sells. There are also instances where there are large amounts (for BBEP) traded with little or no movement in price (8,000 to 12,000 shares in a minute). I believe this is when a large buy order comes in and is met with an equal volume of stock being offered for sale which doesn't move the price. All this points to someone wanting to sell a large amount of stock without cratering the price and takes consistent effort and patience over a long period of time to accomplish due to BBEP's low daily volume (around 250,000 shares) and small float which I estimate to be around 3.2 million shares. It also takes "market-maker type" access to the market to do this. Something the average trader, like you or me, doesn't have.
nosweat as always thanks for your great feedback. your insight is always most valuable.
to speculate that it is baupost continuing to sell would suggest this could go on for another 6 to 9 months for them to totally exit. would not think it is quicksilver as they would need to file more frequent 13's and their moi appears to be sell large blocks in private transactions but could always be wrong

A Hennepin County District Court judge said Amy Senser must serve at least two-thirds of her sentence behind bars for the fatal hit-and-run accident that killed a Roseville man last August on a freeway exit ramp in Minneapolis.
In May, a jury convicted the wife of former Minnesota Viking Joe Senser on two felony counts of criminal vehicular homicide.
Moments before she was sentenced Monday morning, the Star Tribune reports she told Anousone Phanthavong's family, "I hope you can believe me that I never saw your son that night. And if I had I would have stopped to help him. I take full responsibility for his death."
WCCO also reports Senser hugged the victim's parents before she was taken into custody.
Senser's defense attorney Eric Nelson told KSTP she recently had Anousone Phanthavong's name tattooed on her wrist.
Minnesota Public Radio compares Senser's sentence with other recent hit-and-run cases in Minnesota.

Besides losing weight and finding eternal love, I have other more accomplishable (if that is even a real word) New Years resolutions that deal with sports.
Sports have been good to me, but I have not really been that great back over the past year or so. Sports have given me entertainment, and all I have given back is...well nothing really besides writing satire articles that all consistently have been low blows to sports.
So here are my resolutions this year in an attempt to be a better overall fan:
1. Actually pay more attention to the Super Bowl game rather than the commercials (the top reason being the article picture, don't want to miss anything like that).
2. In accordance with No. 1, promise not to watch whatever terrible over-the-hill performer during the Super Bowl half time show.
3. For probably the first time ever research the teams in the March Madness bracket before picking my games. This is instead of my old methods of picking all 5-12 games as upsets and not having any No. 1 seeds in the Final Four.
4. Watch all Final Four games...I only say this because for the most part I only care about watching the actual championship game.
5. Give Jay Mariotti one more try (this is definitely going to be the first resolution I am going to break, but I will try).
6. Watch a full NHL game that is not a playoff game, or a Bridgestone Winter Classic.
7. Watch a full NBA game that is not a playoff game.
8. Stay up for all seven rounds of the NFL draft and not want to kill Chris Berman by round five.
9. Actually believe "There is always next year" when I am talking about the Cubs, because there is always 2010.
10. Not miss my fantasy football draft and if I do, then I will not claim that I am genius at fantasy football when the computer picked the base of my championship team.
11. Not watch a NFL preseason game because it is immoral to charge regular season prices for an exhibition game.
12. Go to more live sporting events
12.5. And finally this one is in conjunction with No. 12, hence it only counts as half a resolution. This is one resolution that I have said I would do and never gone through with ever since I can remember: Actually go streaking during a live TV game. Just kidding...but I really want to do that.
I am sure there are some other ones that I am missing, but for now this is a good starting list. Happy New Years everyone!
And as an added bonus resolution I will post on The Skip Bayless Report as often as I can, so all you loyal fans can continue to get the highest quality of sports non-news out there.

In March, I started volunteering almost daily for Barb Shelton, state House representative candidate for the 64th District. I have worked on many campaigns, and I can tell you she works harder than anyone I have ever seen, in company with my late husband, Rep. Mike Simpson.
As her treasurer and volunteer, we work six days most weeks. The heat wave doesn't slow Barb down. In 95-degree heat, she is still ready to knock on more doors while the rest of us are ready to call it quits.
I know Barb Shelton will take that hard work ethic to Lansing. She wants to work for the people of Michigan and is someone who can work with everyone, regardless of party affiliation, for the good of our state. Our current representatives seem to think we work for them, instead of them working for the people. Barb believes serving as a state house representative is an honor and service to the community. Barb has the experience, integrity, determination and leadership qualities we need in our Michigan Legislature.
A vote for Barb Shelton is a vote for a new and better Michigan.

Kolkata, India
Brief Introduction of India
1237 million human beings packed in 3.27 mill sq.kms of land bounded by the mighty Himalayan ranges on the North and two major oceans in the South. 28 states and 7 Union Territories, (Union Territories are areas run directly by the Central Government, a purely administrative arrangement), each state run by the respective elected state governments. Twenty Two scheduled/official languages, with innumerable dialects, and many of these scheduled languages have their roots in Sanskrit, considered one of the oldest languages whose origins can be traced to more than 5000 years, passed down orally and very well preserved, and presently is hardly spoken among the people because it is essentially sacerdotal in nature. India is multi religious with the majority being Hindu who comprise nearly 80 % of the population followed by 14 % Muslims, the third largest Muslim population in the world, Christians 2 %, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains and the smallest of the communities the Parsis/Zorastrians, who came originally from Iran centuries ago, for whom the government has given special incentives to have more children and increase their numbers as they generally have very strict community rules for inter faith marriages, late marriages and have small families. Barring the Parsis all minority religious groups have seen their numbers growing in independent India the highest growth rate being among Muslims. This is the mystical land which houses one of the continuous ancient civilizations of the world whose cultural and religious practices continue to this day. This is the land of the Indus Valley Civilization the ruins of which suggest that primacy for civic facilities was given to the ordinary citizens rather than to the nobility, quite unlike other ancient civilization of Egypt, Greece, Rome and China where royal palaces, tombs of kings and big state buildings were given more importance. This is the land of Bharat, as referred to in ancient texts, or Hindustan (a place where Hindus reside) as the invading Persians called it and India as the modern world knows it to be.
15th August, 1947 at the stroke of midnight India was declared a free country after more than 200 years of British colonial rule, ravaged and impoverished as colonialists are wont to do with colonies. In 1750 Indian manufacturing contributed 25 % to world GDP and after 200 years of colonial rule it had come down to 2 %. This non violent freedom came at a bigger human price, the country was partitioned along essentially religious lines by the British with the active connivance of a section of the population whose leaders sold an utopian dream of a country to some Muslims. West Pakistan and East Pakistan (present day Bangladesh) was carved out which was followed by bloody riots which left millions dead, and this was not war it was a colonial power drawing borders with an eye to protect its future interests in a world order. The World view in 1947, it would be difficult for India to remain united and a democracy. Balkanization of India was just a matter of time and that Pakistan seemed to be a better idea as far as longevity of ideas is concerned. Unfortunately for the critic and fortunately for India they did not factor in this country's pluralistic culture coming down from thousands of years, as recent archaeological excavations assisted with carbon dating is revealing of how old the civilization could be though traditionally Hindus always believed it to stretch to a few aeons. The word Hindu has been essentially coined once again by the Persian invader for anyone residing in this region and it was not religion specific and the word Hinduism (used first by the British) a derivative of Hindu, stands for a religion, though no codified religions existed during those times, which in Sanskrit or local parlance is known as "Sanathan Dharma" – Dharma means right way of life and Sanathan means eternal, so the right way for all for eternity and the cornerstones of it are – NON VIOLENCE, SELF CONTROL and acceptance of all beliefs since Sanathan Dharma believes that the path to realisation or God are manifold. Like all oriental religions Sanathan Dharma considers aiding conversions to their own religion as taboo or even sinning. However, like all other faiths it comes with its own share of fault lines.
