Sadly missing Donatello. I purchased more of the Foot Soldier box sets to army build, and sold the additional Rock Steady and Bebop figures.
And a good thing I bought more, because one of the boxes containing Bebop was missing one bag of bricks.
Étretat est une commune du département de la Seine-Maritime, dans la région Haute-Normandie, en France. Le site des falaises d'Étretat est classé dans le programme des Opérations Grands Sites (OGS), piloté par le ministère de l'écologie et du développement durable.
Naguère modeste village de pêcheurs, Étretat est devenue une station balnéaire de renom. Elle se trouve au nord du Havre en Normandie, sur le littoral de la Manche en pays de Caux. L'aspect extraordinaire et monumental de ses falaises de craie blanche presque immaculée et ses plages de galets grisâtres en ont fait un des lieux du tourisme international. Des peintres comme Gustave Courbet, Eugène Boudin ou Claude Monet ont beaucoup contribué à sa publicité, en en immortalisant la spécificité. Des écrivains comme Gustave Flaubert et Guy de Maupassant ont été des fidèles du lieu tandis que Maurice Leblanc, qui y vécut, contribua au mythe entourant le site dans une aventure d'Arsène Lupin intitulée L'Aiguille creuse.
Étretat is a commune in the Seine-Maritime department in the Haute-Normandie region in northern France. It is a tourist and farming town situated about 32 km (20 mi) northeast of Le Havre, at the junction of the D940, D11 and D139 roads. It's located on the coast of the Pays de Caux area.
One of the natural cliffs in Étretat
Étretat is best known for its cliffs, including three natural arches and the pointed "needle". These cliffs and the associated resort beach attracted artists including Eugène Boudin, Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet, and were featured prominently in the 1909 Arsène Lupin novel The Hollow Needle by Maurice Leblanc.
Two of the three famous arches are seen from the town, the Porte d'Aval, and the Porte d'Amont. The Manneporte is the third and the biggest one, and cannot be seen from the town.
The GR 21 long-distance hiking path (Le Havre to Le Tréport) passes through the town.
Notable People[edit]
Étretat was the birthplace of Élie Halévy (1870–1937), philosopher and historian.
Guy de Maupassant (1850–1893) spent most of his childhood in Étretat, at "Les Verguies". In 1882 he wrote a short story for Le Gaulois entitled "The Englishman of Étretat" (L'Anglais d'Étretat), based on encounters in 1868, as a house guest of G. E. J. Powell, with the English poet Algernon Charles Swinburne, whom he had helped save from drowning. The dried human hand displayed on one of the tables was later acquired by Maupassant to adorn his Paris apartment; it inspired another short story, "The Flayed Hand" (La Main Écorchée).[1] In 1883 he built his own house in Étretat, "La Guillette", in the Mediterranean style in "Le Grand Val", since renamed rue Guy-de-Maupassant.[2] Jean-Baptiste Faure (1830–1914), the great French operatic baritone whose career centred on Paris and London, also owned a villa there. A friend of the artist Édouard Manet and a keen collector of art, Faure did amateur paintings of the local area, including the scenic cliffs.
The White Bird
Étretat is known for being the last place in France from which the 1927 biplane The White Bird (L'Oiseau Blanc) was seen. French WWI war heroes Charles Nungesser and François Coli were attempting to make the first non-stop flight from Paris to New York, but after the plane's 8 May 1927 departure, it disappeared somewhere over the Atlantic. It is considered one of the great unexplained mysteries of aviation. A monument to the flight was established in Étretat, but destroyed during World War II, during German occupation. A new and taller monument was constructed in 1963, along with a nearby museum.
Étretat es una localidad de Francia (departamento Sena MarÃtimo), con una población de 1.640 habitantes. Étretat está situada en la lÃnea de la costa Pays de Caux, en las coordenadas 0°12'27" de longitud Este, 49°42'26" de latitud Norte. Étretat es muy conocido por sus acantilados, incluyendo un arco natural muy famoso, que algunos llamaban «El ojo de la aguja». Estos acantilados, asà como la playa situada junto a ellos, atrajeron a numerosos artistas (Eugène Boudin, Gustave Courbet y Claude Monet). Étretat fue el lugar de nacimiento de Élie Halévy (1870-1937), filósofo e historiador.

We are having building work at the back of our house. There are several recurring motifs running through this project, namely maximum expense, major disruption and stress. In fairness, the builders are good. But it is a 4 month project. And 4 months can pass very slowly.
There have been high points. In August, my eldest said "Daddy, we've got a moat!", as the foundation trenches filled with rainwater. They had to be pumped out. Twice.
We have had no kitchen nor running water downstairs for 8 weeks. Roll on end of November. "It will all be worth it" is the phrase of the month.
Workers align the third rail to make sure it's in just the right spot for where third rail shoes under trains will make contact with it.
On Saturday, workers replaced third rail near Bryn Mawr on the Red Line Saturday to help ensure continued, reliable power delivery to Red Line trains in the area. The "third rail" (also known as "contact rail") is the electrified rail through which power is delivered to our trains.
One segment at a time, workers removed existing sections of rail and replaced it with heavier-gauge sections, which can provide better conductivity. Each section is seated on insulated third rail chairs, bolted together with adjacent sections and smoothed out at joints. Welders also come out and connect the rail to the power system using jumper cables.
The rail that's been removed will be reused for other important power delivery improvements, later—an efficient and sustainable practice we employ to make the most of the materials at our disposal.
The section replaced on Saturday morning and afternoon was on the Howard-bound Red Line track and measures in at about 1900 feet, or about 580 meters, in length. To put the heft of this work into perspective, the base, steel component of third rail that was installed weighs about 85lbs. for every three feet of rail—this doesn't include the weight of aluminum that's affixed to the rail for added electrical conductivity, bolts, insulators and other components that are a part of delivering power to trains. The total weight of the steel part of the rail moved just on Saturday is upwards of 52 tons.
Egyptian (Third Intermediate Period, Dynasty 21). Painted plaster over wood. Beginning about 2000 BC, funerary masks on some mummies were extended to cover the entire figure, creating an inner coffin in the form of a human body. By about 1200 BC, mummies frequently rested in several coffins nested together. A chariot whip was found in this burial, identifying the profession of the deceased. Exhibit at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond, Virginia.
The Third Silesian Uprising was the last and largest and longest of the three uprisings.
The Third Silesian Uprising began on May 2–3, 1921, with Polish destruction of German rail bridges in order to thwart immediate German measures to suppress the uprising. A particular concern was to prevent a recurrence of the many acts of violence that had been perpetrated against the populace by German paramilitary groups, the Freikorps, which had ostensibly been created to support the German border-protection police. The Freikorps comprised mostly volunteers and demobilised German soldiers.
After an initial success of the insurgents, taking over a large portion of the area of Upper Silesia, the German Grenzschutz several times resisted the attacks of Wojciech Korfanty's Polish troops, some cases in cooperation with British and Italian troops. An attempt on the part of the British troops to take steps against the Polish forces was prevented by General Jules Gratier, the French commander-in-chief of the Allied troops. Eventually, the insurgents kept most of territory they had won, including the local industrial district. They proved that they could mobilize large amounts local support, while the German forces based outside Silesia were barred from taking an active part in the conflict.
Twelve days after the outbreak of the insurrection Korfanty offered to take his troops behind a line of demarcation (the "Korfanty Line"), conditional upon the released territory not being re-occupied by German forces, but by Allied troops. It was not, however, until July 1 that the British troops arrived in Upper Silesia and began to advance in company with those of the other Allies towards the former frontier. Simultaneously with this advance the 'Inter-Allied Commission' pronounced a general amnesty for the illegal actions committed during the insurrection, with the exception of acts of revenge and cruelty. The German Grenzschutz was withdrawn and disbanded.

The University of Central Arkansas Foundation held its third Night of Distinction Gala on Saturday to honor some of its top award winners. Distinguished alumni awards were presented to Dr. Joe D. Allison, class of 1979, and Terry Pillow, class of 1976, while Patsy Minton Newton, class of 1952, was presented with the Alumni Service Award. Proceeds from the event were used to help the Travel Abroad Grants (TAG) and Undergraduate Research Grants for Education (URGE) programs in the Norbert O. Schedler Honors College. The event was emceed by Rhett Martin, the unversity's first Rhoads Scholar, and entertainment was provided by the UCA String Quartet and local band "Loose Ends".
Dawn from the cliffs as sunrise approached, until the very top of the sun could be seen.
We looked out the back of the house this morning and saw it looked like it was going to be a wonderful sunrise.
So, quickly dressed after coffee and a quick drive to the cliff tops, and this was the scene that greeted us.
Standby for more sunrise shots.......

The is a photograph from the third running of the Athlone Flatline Half Marathon ("The Flatline") which was held at Athlone, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Saturday 13th September 2014 at 11:00. There was beautiful weather for the event which started and finished at St. Aloysius College near the Canal Banks area of the town just slightly west of the River Shannon. This event was professionally organised and the very flat course meant that many runners both seasoned and new to the scene achieved season or personal bests. Almost 1,000 participants successfully completed the event in the beautiful September sunshine. Everyone involved must be congratulated for the flawless running of the event. This event is sure to go from strength to strength over the coming years. The event has grown from just over 600 in 2012, to over 900 in 2013 with around the same number finishing in 2014. Entry to the race closed weeks in advance.
This is a photograph which is part of a larger set of photographs taken at the start and finish of "The Flatline" 2014. The URL of the main set is www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157647516503901. This photoset contains photographs of the start (at the 600 meter mark) and then of the finish (at the 400 meter mark to go) up to a finish time of about 1:45.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: Such is the popularity of the race this year that registration closed for the race in mid-August 2013. There were well over 850 participants who took to the start line.
Weather: The weather on the day was almost too warm for running which is a very rare complaint in Ireland. The runners were bathed in hot September sunshine for the duration of the race and into the early afternoon. In the sections of the race out towards Clonown and around the Bord na Mona areas there was a cooling.
Course: "The Flatline" ceratinly lived up to its name. It is as flat a course as one is likely to find. A garmin connect gps trace of the route is provided here [connect.garmin.com/activity/199678412] Geographically the course spends much of the race in County Roscommon with only the first and last kilometers actually in County Westmeath. This gives geographically inclined runners the novel opportunity to race in two Irish provinces in one race. The course had distance markers at every kilometre and mile along the way. There were official pacers provided by the race organisers.
Location Map: Start/finish area and registration etc on Google StreetView [goo.gl/maps/8qCes] - Ample parking was supplied with some over-flow car-parking options also available.
Refreshments: An Alkohol Frei bottle of Erdinger was provided to every finisher as they crossed the line. Light refreshments were served.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
