That's not really spec so wonder if that is contributing to the brakes being a little grabby. I would have liked the brakes to be a little less grabby but all is working well.

The feel of the bevelled arm rest and fingerboard edges says quality and comfort this is an inviting guitar and that Modern Deep-C neck will feel familiar to anyone who has played the electric Player series models.” A lovely dark rosewood fingerboard and bridge replaces the US version’s ebony, but that’s not anissue for us. “In terms of feel and build, we honestly can’t find a compromise between this Ensenada-made Player and the US Acoustasonics we’ve tried.

Fender promises twang but this isn’t Pete Anderson levels of twang. Park yourself on position one for a more traditional electric guitar experience, but don’t necessarily expect a traditional Telecaster experience. In a sense, this is a sound that almost exists outside of the spectrum of acoustic/electric tones, and is sure to support pedalboard experimentation. The sound is just coming from the piezo and as you turn the blend control it adds drive. Here is where the true hybrid tones are, and as such, there are fewer references for what we are hearing. ![]()

![]() Renault has not simply refreshed this car’s aesthetic, though. Unlike the original, whose only true rival was the Juke, this one will enter a pool teeming with strong alternatives, including the new Ford Puma, Volkswagen T-Cross and Peugeot 2008. Which is why we now have the second-generation Captur. Engine: 1.No, the reason this car can boast about that sort of sales statistic is because that sort of sales statistic is indicative of a rapidly and inexorably growing class, which the B-segment SUV – small crossovers, in other words – continues to be and in which the Captur’s mix of style and value made it particularly successful.NUTS and BOLTS - 2017 Renault Captur Intens I’m still in two minds about the place for small crossover SUVs in the spectrum of car segments, the Renault Captur is a pretty neat offering albeit lacking in the power stakes. While we’re on the topic of seats, the leather upholstery is of course a pleasant inclusion but the material isn’t the most premium, lack a tight fit and has a matte finish. The solid edge that spans the blind does help facilitate this though.Īlthough cabin storage is limited compared with SUVs of a comparative size, there is a small hutch on top of the dash and another compartment in the seat mounted ratchet armrest. Overhead is a large panoramic roof but with no sunroof, meaning it doesn’t open, and a completely opaque blind that you have to pull open manually. However, there is a handy selection for the amount of fuel used which is rarely seen.īoot capacity is hatch-like but Renault threw in a removable floor panel that increases the depth, at the same time stops objects from sliding out when you open the door. On the other hand, the middle of the instrument cluster has a very small driver info display most of this is taken up by the speed indicator. The rather user friendly R-LINK system is fitted with sat-nav, DAB+, Android Auto and park assist which will only engage when you flick the indicator. The interior finish is similar again to that of the Clio with an in-built 7” touchscreen on the dash, auto A/C controls, storage space for the key FOB, USB and 12V inputs. There is a dial for off road drive mode selections which will switch off beyond a speed of 25km/h so it won’t spoil the gear box but you’re unlikely to use them in a car of this nature but it’s there if you need it. My tested fuel economy came out at 7.6L/100km higher than the recommended 5.4L but still acceptable.Īs mentioned there are front, rear and side parking sensors all around ensuring you don’t hit anything. Having said that, the drive is quite good, is easy on passengers’ derriere and given the small size, can be thrown around quite adeptly. The brakes are equally as soft and the steering isn’t all that direct. The 1.2L turbo engine also only produces 88kW/190Nm and is slow off the mark with a throttle more spongy than a chiffon cake. Like the previously tested Renault Clio, for me, the let down again was the performance. The Captur has always been a well-designed, compact looking small SUV (some may say cute) with nice curves, chrome skirting and roof spoiler.īut now the 2017 version comes with a new grille design, C-shaped daytime running light surrounds and rear taillights, LED lights and silver skid plates (just for the look only).īody colours are available in two tones with personalised combinations of several shades of blue, grey as well as orange, red and brown, which only adds to the allure. ![]() There’s only one other option in the range – Renult Captur Zen – and the entry point is $23,990 (that’s driveaway). The Renault Captur Intens is part of my recent insight into the Renault range starting with the Clio, and is priced from $28,990 for bonus features like leather seats, park assist, sunroof and more sensors than you can poke a stick at. With minor upgrades added this year, the Renault Captur is a more attractive offering, both literally and figuratively. ![]() ![]() This also applies to online dating profiles where your photo appears before your bio.

The Finnish Economy Ministry and the country's nuclear regulator said the project was beset by a string of technical and safety setbacks due to poor project management and workmanship. The cost ballooned from an initial estimate of €3 billion (US$ 3.27 billion) to around €11 billion, according to the 2019 World Nuclear Industry Report. But the project was plagued by technological problems and cost overruns. Olkiluoto-3 was meant to be a showcase of French-German know-how, touted as offering higher power and better safety. Using the third-generation European Pressurized Reactor (EPR) model, which was designed to improve safety and reduce costs, it was the first nuclear power station to be procured in Europe after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. The 1.6 Giga-watt (GW) reactor, built by the French-led Areva-Siemens consortium, had originally been due to open in 2009. They argue the green investment should not go to these industries. The inauguration has also triggered a debate as to the definition of green energy for the European Court of Justice and even the European Parliament and which environmental organizations are challenging because they classify nuclear power and gas as sustainable energy sources.

"There's a lot of things I want to do," she says. Right now, she's got no set plans of how her career will play out in the grand scheme of things - and that's exactly how she'd like it. The show still has a few months left of shooting in Vancouver, and, when she's not decompressing with The Great British Bakeoff, Pedretti is meditating on what is still to come. Told that it looks natural, she starts to laugh. "She's completely different nothing like Nell," she says. One spoiler, however, is impossible to hide: Pedretti, a brunette, is currently sporting a previously unseen honey blonde hair color. Even though it's the second season of a show that I've been in before, almost everything is different." Here's what Pedretti will say: "I'm really excited about it. The story, loosely based on The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, centers around two orphans cared for by a young governess named Dani, played by Pedretti. Here's what we know, per scarce details Netflix has shared: season two is officially titled The Haunting of Bly Manor and will feature a whole new story and mostly new cast (as of now, Pedretti and Oliver Jackson-Cohen are the only returning season one actors). "He's like, 'Hello, you.' Why would he say that to his mother? Or it's his mother and he doesn't know it? Or his mother has somehow gotten out of the habitual natures of her entire life and finds herself living in the suburbs?"īeing coy is just part of the job description for Pedretti at this point she's just as vague when it comes to discussing details of The Haunting of Hill House's second season. Okay, but is the woman Joe watches from next door his estranged mother? "Do I think she's potentially lying? I have no idea. But she can comment on some popular fan theories. While many devoured all of season two when it dropped over the holidays, the show continues to be a trending topic as fans debate what is to come in season three. The continued discussion is interesting." There was a chance that once she started killing people, people wouldn't like her anymore, but people amazingly seem drawn to her character and this insanity. I was scared not because Love isn't likable, but because it's not the show they expect to see. I was really scared because the character is really different. "Taking the place of somebody who is, in a lot of people's minds, a really beloved character, there is going to be comparison. "Probably more than I should."), she's feeling "relieved." "It was really nerve-wracking, especially having not been in the first season," she says. "I wouldn't allow to be something as shallow as a manic pixie dream girl."įor her part, Pedretti was worried that viewers might not take to a murderous love interest as much as they did, but after reading reactions online ("I don't want to admit how much," she says. It's a twist the audience never sees coming, and a prime example of why You has enraptured the Internet. It all happens the way that is meant to be."Īs the season progresses (spoilers ahead), it becomes clear that Love has more in common with the show's serial killer male protagonist than any female ingenue stereotype. And if I had done that, I couldn't have done it now and I couldn't have done The Haunting of Hill House. ![]() "I could not have done Beck," she says in retrospect.

She had a lot to do with two of Netflix's biggest recent successes, The Haunting of Hill House and You: In both roles, Pedretti brings a vulnerability to complicated characters that the audience can't help but be immediately drawn to. Watching Pedretti, one gets the sense she won't be able to make this kind of joke for long. Pedretti wasn't there but, she deadpans,"It's all me. The Golden Globes were the previous night and Once Upon A Time… in Hollywood, in which Pedretti has a small role, was the big winner, Best Picture - Comedy or Musical.

You may hear these sounds in 1 or both ears, or in your head. It is is a bit creepy? Undoubtedly, but it only records when in flight, and physically blocks the camera when in its charging dock, which it automatically returns to when the battery needs charging. It automatically flies to predetermined areas of your home and gives you multiple viewpoints, which from a security point of view is obviously more useful than a stationary camera that’s only able to keep a watchful eye on one room. The Ring Always Home Cam is exactly what it looks like, a small autonomous indoor drone with a camera. Just about getting used to the idea of having a smartphone-controlled security camera in your house? Well, now Ring has one that flies. ![]() |
