Great little drum set! Only thirty bucks. Got it one year for my birthday. Not very sturdy, but it’s still really fun to play. I play the bass drum with my foot on the floor.
Mad skillz altogether.

MINISTER FOR Finance Michael Noonan was told by his department’s officials last year that a €3.6 billion accounting error had only “recently” come to light despite a paper trail stretching back more than 12 months.
In a briefing note for the Minister, prepared on October 28th last, he was told the National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) “have recently drawn to our attention” a double-count of money borrowed by the Housing Finance Agency.
However, internal documents show there were at least 20 emails between the National Treasury Management Agency and the Department of Finance’s general government section relating to the matter between August 23rd, 2010, and October 25th, 2011.
The issue centred on the fact that exchequer money being loaned by the NTMA to the Housing Finance Agency was being counted twice as debt and overstated the national debt.
The issue became public knowledge on November 1st last year, after the department issued a statement following inquiries by TV3 News.
You’ll recall how, at the time, former Department of Finance Secretary General Kevin Cardiff ‘was puzzled too.’
This month Kev takes up his €276,000 per year gig at the European Court Of Auditors.
Nice work fella.

I dont know if you get tons of requests like this, but our two cats [Weezy, top, and Pizzle, above] have gone missing in the D6 [Dublin 6] area around Rathgar/Harold’s Cross/Terenure/Rathmines. We raised the cats since they were a couple of days old, bottle fed [them], kept [them] warm etc., and they are part of the family. They had never been outside before, but on Thursday morning somehow the front door was opened and there was signs of someone having been in the house while we slept. Nothing was stolen, but the cats must have got out. I’m afraid that with the panic, and with the rain washing away familiar smells, that they cant find their way home.
Weezy is very small, short-haired, and has a pink nose. Pizzle or Tallahasse is small-medium-sized, she has mid-length hair that’s long around her belly, the world’s fluffiest tail of long hair, and she has really long whiskers

With a JJ Abrams Star Trek sequel now in the pipe for May 2013, Namco-Bandai and Paramount will release a co-op game early next year.
Originally planned as a prequel to the events of the last Trek movie, it will now be set sometime between the first and second Abrams reboots.
Seems logical.
