Here's the Zara Eco Warning for those of you that missed it featuring the song Baby by Austalian dance group Pnau.
I was told by a friend who regularly travels from Belfast to Lisburn that unusually the train takes minutes, on further probing of the point they said, four minutes. Every time I tried to take the express service, I always characteristically of me missed it.
Yesterday for the first time used the express service on the C3K CAF trains, and thought I would time the journey. It took just over ten minutes, an average of 47mph for the 7.8 mile journey (assuming road distance), not bad point to point, and during peak travel hours, a fast an efficient alternative to the car.
Hurricane Gustav has struck after an estimated two million people fled inland from the Louisiana coast. Hurricane Gustav is quickly losing strength after making landfall in Louisiana, and has been downgraded to a Category One storm, with winds of 90mph (145km/h).

The Open University offers a range of qualification including Diplomas and Degrees in Environmental Studies. The OU is the United Kingdom's only university dedicated to distance learning and has around 150,000 undergraduate and more than 30,000 postgraduate students. 10,000 of which have disabilities.
Nearly all students are studying part-time. About 70 per cent of undergraduate students are in full-time employment. More than 50,000 students are sponsored by their employers for their studies. Most OU courses are available throughout Europe. Some of them are available in many other parts of the world. More than 25,000 OU students live outside the UK.
I was pretty intrigued by the Open University for quite some time, as I have the urge to complete some kind of higher education course in environmental studies, however as I drifted from studies in the early days, I'm not sure if I will be as committed as I would like. The positive thing about the Open University is you can choose which courses you want to complete and can enroll, courses often start four times a year and you can complete the courses at your own pace (within the set time limit), no need to pay hefty tuition fees for a year then drop out later, plus you can get a taster for distance learning with their introduction courses which are reasonably priced at £110, and offer 10 points of credit towards a final qualification. Enrollment for November 2008, ends at the start of October. I better make my mind up soon.
