I know I said that there is only a limited pool of vintage aircraft, but from time to time you do get to see something that you haven't seen displayed before.
This is a Bristol Sycamore - a very early helicopter and the first British helicopter to enter service with the RAF (albeit designed by a pioneering Austrian).
I believe this one was bolted together in 1957.
I provide a link to the following article because after reading it, I was surprised that they felt the need to expand.
As we sailed into the port, I saw so many cranes and buildings in ill-repair --- why not spend money on refurbishing and maximizing the use of the old port before expanding into environmentally sensitive areas? I guess in the 1990s, repairing and refurbishing wasn't as sexy as building something new.

A truly lovely vinyl reproduction of a nostalgic Barbie® doll wearing the Wedding Day® fashion from the 1960's. Barbie® doll's gown is exquisitely created with white flocked tulle and a sprinkling of glitter over a satin lining. The bodice has a sweetheart neckline with white netting, the skirt is full. Her accessories include "something old" — her mother's "pearl" necklace, "something new" — white heels, "something borrowed" — white gloves and "something blue" — her garter. Her bouquet is delicately fashioned of fabric flowers.
And something new is about to happen at Malta Public Transport. In fact, a few new Otokar Kent Cs are soon joining the company's fleet. However, they still haven't been registered and it will take a while more before they start service, as tourists are yet to come in the Maltese Islands.
Alongside them, there are the two Citaros (L660 and L630), which I have pictured before.

On Thursday 29th November we had a very enjoyable day out on 'The Cathedrals Express' steam train to Bath. The train, which started from Victoria station, picked up passengers en route at East Croydon, Redhill, Dorking (Deepdene) and Wokingham. Newly built A1 class loco 60163 'Tornado' worked the train throughout. The loco which has very recently been painted in BR Express Blue livery is seen during a water stop at Newbury.

I gave a bit of my own twist on the block, but made sure to keep the curves really gentle, like Alyssa suggested. I think it would have been easier with a smaller rotary cutter. Otherwise, it went surprisingly well! There is a little bit of breath holding while you sew and before you open the seam, wondering if everything matched up ok!
c'è ancora la roba del compagno di corso coinqui temporaneo appesa e la mia invece ovunque, c'è luce, silenzio, tre svedesi su otto, una signora delle pulizie che non pulisce ma sorride, una ragazza che si sposa e la colazione a parlare dei modi per trovare (lavoro, stages, persone) e di chi tenere lontano sai quelli che appena arrivi a fare qualcosina si ricordano che esisti? ancora non lo so ma brrrrr, con una massima geniale e poi la traduzione inglese del megliosoliche, c'è Nato, Europa, tanti scalini, acqua calda che finisce presto e vicini che urlano come matti mentre litigano, letto bunk con indicazioni su come evitare tragedie fatali (prohibit to horseplay, dice) il tavolino ikea compagno di tanti traslochi e il lampadario palloncino di carta. tutto nuovo anche se no, il commesso che chiacchiera ma non sei italiana sì invece dimostramelo e ride, la finta calma per lunedì e il nuovo pensiero fisso 25.

Chairman of Ballyclare Comrades Trevor McCann presents copies of their book to local school to use in their libraries.
Ballyclare Comrades Football Club recently celebrated their Centenary with a book on the history of the Club which was written by former Ballyclare High School history teacher Robson Davison.
Following the end of the 1914-18 War, Comrades of the Great War Associations sprung up throughout Britain as meeting places for returning veterans, who faced unemployment in the civilian world. The Ballyclare Branch proved to be the birthplace of the present football club, giving it its unusual name.
It was an afternoon in late February 1919, 3 months after the signing of the Armistice, that 2 veterans, Sammy Murray and Arthur McGuigan sat talking in the Comrades Association headquarters, a small room overlooking Ballyclare's main street. "We should have a football team here in Ballyclare" one of them remarked casually. A few hours later Bob Grange, the secretary of the branch, joined them. He liked the idea, and the three of them decided to arrange a full meeting of members to discuss the project.
It wasn't hard to convince them that a football team was a good idea : They were bored and depressed, anxious to support something new. It was, after all, the object of the Association to cater for soldiers back home after the war, to help them to adapt themselves again to the lives they had left.
A week later, Ballyclare's veteran soldiers, most of them from "C" Company of the 12th Royal Irish Rifles - a battalion made up entirely of East Antrim men, who fought at the Somme and in many other famous First World War battles - played their first game as a football team, and Ballyclare Comrades were born.
Dixon Park too has military connotations being named after Major Daniel Dixon, who had fought in France with the founder members. The Comrades have come a long way since their lowly beginnings. Having started at the bottom of the pile in the minor grade, they have worked their way through junior and intermediate levels, to eventually achieve senior status in 1990.
On the way they have collected a host of titles and trophies, winning the most coveted trophies below Irish League level; the Steel & Sons Cup and the Intermediate Cup, several times. On achieving senior status, Comrades were something of a small fish in a bigger pool, and success was limited, with the club operating on a shoestring budget, finding it difficult to compete with the likes of Linfield and Glentoran. Nevertheless, at the start of the 1997/98 season, Comrades won their first senior trophy. This was the Ulster Cup, a competition for First Division sides.
Unfortunately, with the restructuring of the League at the end of the 2002/2003 season, senior status was lost. However everyone at the club is determined that Ballyclare Comrades will be in the top flight again in the near future.

The bride wore a simply elegant dress and accessorized with statement making jewelry. She wore a one-of-a-kind bead embroidered cuff made from 9 mother-of-pearl cabochons. The cuff was embroidered with delica seed beads and embellished with over 250 Swarovski crystals in crystal AB and white opal.
This incredible one-of-a-kind cuff was created for the Etsy Beadweavers July Challenge "Here Comes the Bride...". Inspired by the items every bride needs on her wedding day (something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue), I created this cuff with a twist on the classic.
Approximate size: 7 inches long x 2 1/2 inches wide at the widest point
Skyla's boots arrived today1 Love them! They look like a pain to put on but they actually just zip up the back. Genius!
The best thing about being almost two years old? Almost everything you see is new. This millipede wandered into the campsite during our picnic and Abigail was fascinated.
For the 2014 Photo-a-Day challenge. A gift I received from my Mum this week, on return from her holiday in South Africa. I love African art/craft and this piece now takes pride and place standing in the entrance hall of our house. A nice addition to Rodd's Roost Thanks mum xxx
*Update* I've found the lens to be very sharp between the f4-f11 range. Let me put it another way. The background behind your subject is very sharp but not your actual subject. I've sent the lens off to Sigma UK for calibration. Because the lens is out of warranty I have to pay £33.99 for the calibration, which isn't too bad as I was expecting to have to pay more.
Just got this lens (Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 HSM) for £390 off ebay. It's used but in great condition.
I've taken a few test shots with it and it seems pretty sharp. Probably not as awesome as the Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 but then this is less than half the price when bought new.
PS: Forgive the cheapo tripod. I don't use them very often so don't see the point in investing in a good (expensive) one just yet.
The painting is by Gilbert Hsiao, who I met through eBay (he bought a Sun Ra LP from me). We struck up a conversation, via email, and I later met him during a trip to New York, where he lives. You can see more of his art here: www.minusspace.com/hsiao/hsiao.html

It seems this will be called the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge which is part of the
Trinity River Corridor Project. Yay something new to photograph.
Less subtle then the previous. I incorporated into a recent shot of Mount Pleasant Cemetery this old photo: Woman in satin dress holding mirror circa 1915 early color plate, screen (Autochrome) process
