*F**K YOU BP!!!*

A US Geological Survey estimates that between 12,000 and 19,000 barrels of oil are spilling into the Gulf each day...

I'm following the news on the oil spill in the USA caused by a leaking pipe. At the time of writing this Rant, the position is that BP is under some heavy attack from the USA government and the US government is even considering levelling criminal law against individuals, Happy Days!

The new Urban Dance Zone in Solitude Park Banbridge

The designs were based on the theme of 'music through the ages' and featured heavy stencil work, lettering and characters created by the groups. Now installed, they form the back panels of a youth shelter which features built-in speakers where anyone can access their music remotely through a text number. This is then relayed through the speakers. By involving the young people at every stage of design and creation, it gives them ownership of the area and provides a facility for an age-group, who historically, hadn't been engaged by the council. Indeed this is the first time that anything like this has been done in Northern Ireland to my knowledge.
