ERTS Hurts
Electronic Arts plummeted today in the afterhours, dropping more than 7%. Dylan reports that the company has said the 2009 forecast it gave several weeks ago at the end of October is now "no longer relevant." It hasn't offered any newer guidance, only that "it's unclear where things are going."
Macke is philosophical about video game cycles, saying if there is a next cycle, whoever's king at the start of it won't be at the end of it. EA was the "big daddy" going into this latest video game cycle and look at it now!
iPhone at Wal-Mart?
Apple, unlike EA, has shined -- it's up 9% these past three trading sessions. Adding fuel to the fire is the strong rumor that the iPhone will be available at Wal-Mart before Christmas. Gene Munster, senior research analyst at Piper Jaffray, joins the Fast Money crew to offer his thoughts.
Gene gives the rumor an 85% chance of being true, and anticipates an announcement soon. Wal-Mart already sells iPods and phones, so there's no branding problem.
ERTS Hurts
This would be a "major channel" for Apple, which might easily double its number of current sales at the Apple Store. The number of Wal-Mart stores compared to Apple Stores suggests the giant retailer could match the Apple Store's current numbers of iPhones moved even if they sell only a small number per location.
Furthermore, Wal-Mart has a much larger base of customers -- some of whom never shop at the Apple Store, so there won't be a lot of cannibalization of Apple Store shoppers. "That's why this is an important channel for Apple," says Munster.
Speaking of Apple's surge in general, he notes that Mac computer growth is at 30% for the final quarter. Whether that's sustainable is not clear, but the Mac is performing very well. "The iPods have come and gone in terms of their day in the spotlight," he says. "But it seems like the Mac is really carrying the story for the December quarter."
Finally, in response to Dylan's question on whether Apple earnings will take a hit, Gene says his firm has lowered their numbers somewhat, but "in terms of what is going on with Apple, it seems they have weathered the storm really well."
Barack Buildout 2.0
President-elect Barack Obama's infrastructure plan includes a strong investment in technology -- he talked about the need for building out broadband access across the country. "Is it possible to invest in front of this?" Dylan asks.
Pete definitely feels so, and points to tech stocks like Cisco and Juniper -- keeping an eye on those stocks definitely is a good idea. He says that other names worth keeping on your radar are Ciena and Akamai -- both big names in the networking space.
Tim agrees that it's all about "efficiency on the business side" so networking and storage stocks are the ones to watch. He likes and .
But Macke says "wait for the news." Obama's infrastructure plans are too vague now, with no definite timetable, so he feels it's too early to play these stocks.

This ruined tomb is situated on a rise just above the N4 a couple of kilometers north of Castlebaldwin and is accessed from the farm just to the north of the site. The farmer was very gracious and had no problem with allowing me to visit the site. His reaction indicated that he gets visitors, but I can't find much mention of this site on the internet.
The remains of the passage tomb stand on a 1m high round platform, which has two other platform enclosures on either side of it. The other two have banks around their edges. There are large set stones in each one, so they too may have been passage tombs at some time.
Of the monument itself, there are several upright orthostats mainly on the south side of what would have been the short passage and chamber. A group of three stones appear to be a side chamber, indicating that this was probably cruciform in plan. Against these uprights rest several large stones that must be the roofstones. The orientation of the passage was probably to the northwest, but it's impossible to to be sure.
The views to the east are blocked by a high hedge, but the views in the opposite direction are open. Here you can see Kesh to the west and Carrowkeel to the southwest. The cairn on top of Kesh is clearly visible in the same way that Knocknarea is visible from Carrowmore.
Passage tombs are perhaps the most celebrated style of tombs, mainly due to the fantastic examples at Newgrange (County Meath), Knowth (County Meath) and Dowth (County Meath) in the Boyne Valley as well as those at Loughcrew (County Meath), which is by far the best place to experience these wonders.
The classical form of passage tomb is the cruciform style, where a long passage leads to a main chamber with 3 small chambers off, forming a cross when viewed from above. However, there are many other styles, some don't even have a passage! These other forms are with a round chamber (see Fourknocks (County Meath)), a polygonal chamber or in the form of a cross of Lorraine, which can be found at Seefin Hill (County Wicklow).
There is one form known as an undifferentiated passage tomb wherein the chamber is simply a broadening of the passage, such as at Matthewstown (County Waterford).
The passage and chamber was, once constructed, covered in a mound of earth or a stone cairn, which was in turn held in place with a kerb around its perimeter.
Perhaps what Irish passage tombs are most known for is the form of rock art more commonly called passage grave art, which can be seen in abundance along the Boyne Valley in the many cemeteries.
A barrow is essentially a mound of earth over one or more burials. They are more usually to be dated to the Bronze Age. There are many forms of barrow including ring, bowl, long and bell barrows.
Ring barrows are formed by digging a circular trench or fosse around a central burial, with no mound.
Bowl barrows are formed by heaping up soil over the burial(s) from a surrounding fosse, these often have an external bank too (see Ballyremon Commons (County Wicklow)).
Bell barows are simply round mounds with no fosse or external bank.
Long barrows are rare in Ireland and are more common in southwest England. Their shape is basically ovoid rather than round (see Ballynoe (County Down))

This is an explanation of (and a bit of a disclaimer for) the coordinates I provide.
Where a GPS figure is given this is the master for all other coordinates. According to my Garmin these are quite accurate.
Where there is no GPS figure the 6 figure grid reference is master for the others. This may not be very accurate as it could have come from the OS maps and could have been read by eye. Consequently, all other cordinates are going to have inaccuracies.
The calculation of Longitude and Latitude uses an algorithm that is not 100% accurate. The long/lat figures are used as a basis for calculating the UTM & ITM coordinates. Consequently, UTM & ITM coordinates are slightly out.
UTM is a global coordinate system - Universal Transverse Mercator - that is at the core of the GPS system.
ITM is the new coordinate system - Irish Transverse Mercator - that is more accurate and more GPS friendly than the Irish Grid Reference system. This will be used on the next generation of Irish OS maps.

- Democrats want to tax oil companies and give tax breaks on gas to working families.
- Republicans want to tap ANWR and other currently off-limits domestic sources of oil to increase supply.
The Democrats want to tax oil companies (or reduce their tax breaks). NPR said that the petroleum industry receives $17B in tax breaks, but they didn't specify over what time period that was. Let's assume the best-case scenario (for consumers):
- The $17B/year would be distributed back to taxpayers directly.
- The profits of the three largest oil industry profits ($71B/year in 2007) would be returned to taxpayers.
U.S. Oil Reserves
I don't need to construct a long argument for this one: currently available U.S. oil reserves would last about three years at current rates of consumption. Tapping currently off-limits areas would approximately double that. Band-Aid? You bet.
Option Three
Let me suggest a third option to add to the two lousy choices reported on NPR:
- Reduce demand for petroleum, or face up to the high (and rising) prices.
Of course, politicians know that telling people the truth about economics doesn't get you elected—most of them, anyway. I've been very impressed with Barack Obama's position that we should not lower the gas tax. He argues that it doesn't make sense, and he's right. He's a politician who's arguing for what's right and reasonable instead of what's popular right now. That's impressive.
(As a side note, I took this post's photo in August 2006 and labeled it "Crazy gas prices in St. Mary, Montana" because the price was the highest I had seen in my life. These days, that price is "crazy" again, but because it's crazy cheap, not crazy expensive!)

There are many Pastors and others who have answered the Divine Call to minister and to set the captives free (Isaiah 42:7), serving with loving dedication and Spirit-empowered determination in the rescue of spiritual hostages from the terrors of hell which hold them captive.
Just as hostages are not able to pick-and-choose who rescues them and the tactics and strategies that are employed, so it is with many who have had a Pastor Spirit-assigned to them for their rescue and subsequent life's journey out of darkness and into light. A Pastor may not become their best friend socially; or enjoy the same color, the same music, the same humor; or, share the same cultural background, etc.
There are however some qualities that we as Pastors strive whole heartedly to have and to offer every person entrusted to our ministry and care by our Heavenly Father:
"Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one… you have such a place in our hearts that we would live or die with you. I have spoken to you with great frankness; I take great pride in you. I am greatly encouraged; in all our troubles my joy knows no bounds."
~ 2 Corinthians 7:2-4
As fellow believers and as siblings in Christ, we wish that we could be best friends with everyone, but most of those joyous types of relationships will have to wait until we all reach Heaven. Until then, however, it is our privilege and honor to serve you as rescuers from your times of spiritual captivity, as doctors or medics when you are wounded in the battles of life, and as teachers of the Scriptures for your training in life and godliness.
It is our privilege and honor to live with you, and when necessary, to die with you as we all serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

As a fanatic devotee of going out to eat in the typical urban centers of D.C. and N.Y.C., the very last thing I expected to find in the heart of a wooded forest in Cary, North Carolina is the best restaurant meal I've had in 2013.
Herons, the signature restaurant of The Umstead Hotel and Spa, is well-worth the four hour drive to get there, and I suggest making a reservation before the spectacular kitchen personnel gets snatched up to more expensive and far-flung locales.
Despite it's recent renovations, the hotel and spa itself is pretty basic. The pool is unnecessarily small. Not even the butler service made up for the lack of size, which was made all the more distinct by the extensive landscaped grounds and the gorgeous lake whose visage was quite apparent from the lake-side room views. In fact, there was a literal showdown between a pampered crew of bachelorettes and a very pregnant lady over the two lounge chaises we gave up. Not a charming southern sight at all, though deftly defused by the poolside management staff.
I would, perhaps, be more charitable in my review of the spa, though there are some missing elements as well. The most glaring omission would be the lack of any bath related (i.e. bath salts, bubble bath, or body scrubs) items for sale. Perhaps this is a strategic water conservation move from the hotel, but with each hotel room having a soaking tub which would easily fit two individuals, I found it hard to believe I couldn't purchase something from the spa to utilize this amenity.
As for the spa services themselves, there on the main level is a steam room, a sauna, a whirlwind and a microscopic outdoor co-ed resistance pool. On the second level there is both an outdoor lounging area (co-ed) and an indoor lounging area (same sex only). I liked the upstairs better than the downstairs, however I didn't linger as the outdoor pool was calling my name.
The Swedish massage I got was very relaxing, so relaxing I fell asleep thus slightly defeating the purpose of the massage but effectively so. A friend of mine got the same type of massage and she said she felt "hurried" so, maybe, the massage is a bit of a crapshoot. My friend did say she "loved" her 50-minute "Body Glow" scrub and that's really saying something. She is very particular, thus I would say skip the massage and go for the scrub. There are three kinds of scrubs but everyone I talked to, including the spa staff, said they preferred the "Body Glow" scrub which is sea salt based.
Regardless of any deficiencies in the hotel pool or spa, you have to drive to Cary just to eat at Herons. The $90 four-course Chef's Menu, with accompanying wine, is simply sublime! Did I mention it only cost $90? The price point is surprising for the quality of the food, and for $50 more the accompanying flight of wine(s).
It could be argued, the food was so arresting because it was quite unexpected. I thought, with admitted prejudice, I wouldn't find a great meal in Cary, North Carolina. I pondered on this fact yet still came to the conclusion the food is, in fact, arresting – heightened by the deconstructed visuals – and the combination of the flavorful food with the picturesque plating delighted me.
For my first course, I ordered the Ricotta Dumplings. Sunchoke, fava beans, yogurt and chervil. The night before I had tried the Potato Dumplings at the bar, and I must say the kitchen does a wonderful dumpling. Moist and hearty, cleaving to the flavor of the ingredients surrounding it, I could have eaten just the varietals of dumplings all weekend for breakfast, lunch AND dinner.
Second course was a singularly unique Caesar Salad. When you think of a Caesar Salad, you can't help but yawn a little. It's so boring. What is there to bring an element of creativity to? The dressing? But when you see the Heron's Caesar Salad, your eyes will light up like a pinball machine. The lettuce remains whole, in its bibb, and then it's held in place with three circular crutons, resembling an onion ring shape. On the upper left corner is a fried organic egg, with the taste and texture of a circular mozzarella stick, and on the lower right corner is a singular curved sardine.
My words won't do this plating justice, but I hope the photo does what my words fail to convey. I don't think I'm ever at a loss for words … yet here I find myself marveling at this unique presentation.
The third course was my favorite course: a purely artful Grass Fed Beef. Ribeye, cheek, house cured bacon, porcini. Plated to resemble a perfect modern art portraiture which would feel right at home at MoMA, cutting and moving the food from meat-to-vegetable-to-mouth felt joyous. I was happy to destroy the art with my tastebuds, and my tastebuds binged on this plate with savory satisfaction.
The final course was a gorgeous red velvet. Again in the deconstructed look which Herons seemingly feels quite comfortable with: Quinos of cream cheese, coconut and soft, sweet squares of red velvet, all splashed with pecans and tender arrays of confectionaries. I loved it. If I could have just stared it and marveled, I would have but I just had to eat it. And if there was even a sliver of room left in me after three divine courses, I would have cleared the plate. As it were, I was left to declare mercy and with apologizes to the pastry chef sent most of the dish back.
A savory meal not to be missed.
