A montage of fireflies swarming at the Lake of The Ozarks in Missouri and Grand Ledge Michigan by Vincent Brady who sez:
I used every trick I have up my sleeve to pull this off. Image stacking, 360 degree startrail panoramas, and even a macro love scene! Hold on to your seats these fireflies fly by pretty quick!

Micheal Martin, speaking on the ‘plinth’ at Leinster House this afternoon proposed a motion of no confidence in Minister for Justice Alan Shatter to be put to the house next week.
Earlier he told the dail:
“Even the Government’s most craven supporters now concede that we are facing a profound crisis which touches on one of our most important institutions. In the face of this we have for months seen a strategy of attacking opponents, false claims left on the record, a reluctance to investigate serious allegations and an absolute refusal to accept even the most basic principles of democratic accountability.”

Carnage ensued.
The Irish Times reported the following Monday:
