From a series of atmospheric long exposure shots of New York City taken during the Hurricane Sandy blackouts by Randy Scott Slavin, who sez:
New York City is always bright. Street lights, business marquees, light from apartments and car headlights merge to light every corner of the city streets, even on the darkest nights. It is the night after NYC was decimated by Hurricane Sandy, downtown NYC is in the midst of a power outage that has plunged it into complete darkness. I felt the call to hit the eerily dark streets and show New York as it is rarely seen.
The Higgs Boson Watch, whose product blurb sez:
The mind-blowing design of the Higgs Boson Watch displays what is believed to be evidence of the Higgs boson decaying into other bosons during a collision.Where else are you going to find a watch capable of unifying the four elementary forces—weak, strong, electromagnetic and gravitational?

Seanie (second left) will not now be appearing in the role of Seanie.
Owing to fears his portrayal as a money-grubbing latex puppet may prejudice him in future proceedings.

I’ve just seen your panel [top from left: Kathy Sinnott, John Waters, Frances Fitzgerald and Fergus Finlay] for tonight’s debate [on TV3] on the Children’s Rights Referendum. There are plenty of us who oppose this referendum other than for religious reasons. To exclude our voices from your programme will mean that your debate is unbalanced before it even begins.
With respect to John Waters and Kathy Sinnott, some of whose concerns I share, they are unlikely to represent the views of people whose definition of family would include same-sex parents/guardians and unmarried parents/guardians many of whom also oppose this amendment.
I have been the national coordinator for a campaign (on behalf of the member organisations of Inclusion Ireland) aimed precisely at securing just a few basic, legislated rights for children and other people with disabilities and I can tell you categorically that neither Fine Gael nor Labour would commit to unequivocally support that objective.
So much for their conviction to rights for children.This amendment will do nothing to help secure those basic rights…
