Tools of the trade make the man -- perhaps even more than good looks, a snappy sweater and rough hand-to-hand combat ever could (just ask Roger Moore). In this next category we'll take a look at the many devices Sam and Sly employ to achieve their goals and complete their tasks.
The more robust of the two sacks of goodies has to be Sam's. His repertoire of useful, baffling, and unusual devices begins with a simple pistol and a lockpick, but expands to include an assault rifle with a half dozen different functions, a pair of binoculars, thermal and night vision, smoke and fragmentation grenades, door breaching tools, a laser mic to record faraway conversations, a rappel mechanism, a fancy PDA, some kind of carbon dispersing canister, a sticky camera, and a few tools you'll never even use while playing Pandora Tomorrow. Indeed, Sam is the epitome of the 21st century digital boy the prophets at Bad Religion sang about so long ago.
What can Sly show to answer this assortment of beeping and buzzing devices? Well, Sly has a hook and an old turtle named Bentley... The hook, obviously, can be used to do things like steal items from enemies, or whack enemies, or latch onto stuff not attached to enemies in need of whacking. We suppose that if he were so inclined, Sly might also be able to use the hook to fetch beers, cast magic, and pole vault (he is not so inclined). Bentley, funnily, scurries around the world of Sly Cooper 2 vibrating and looking cute (he also makes cute noises when he scurries and vibrates).
It's not a particularly awful bag of tricks Sly boasts, but it could be somewhat better. For instance, if Sly were able to hook Bentley and use him to whack enemies and snatch their goods, the functionality of the hook would practically double!

text: The Quitar are a species known for their natural mathematical ability which made them expert starship builders and astrogators, for their skeletal appearance, and for their ability to survive in vacuum. Quitar appeared to be living humanoid skeletons, because of their hard, pale white "skin" and deep sunken black eyes. Though they had four- or five-fingered hands, they had three-toed feet. They carried their arms and legs "held out" from their bodies, making their appearance even more bizarre.

Wireless Video Content Delivery Through Coded Distributed Caching
The authors suggest a novel approach to handle the ongoing explosive increase in the demand for video content in mobile devices. They envision femtocell-like base stations, which they call helpers, with weak backhaul links but large storage capabilities. These helpers form a wireless distributed caching network that assists the macro base station by handling requests of popular files that have been cached. They formalize the wireless distributed caching optimization problem for the case that files are encoded using fountain/MDS codes. They express the problem as a convex optimization.

The Harker Heights City Council on Tuesday authorized City Manager Steve Carpenter to negotiate a $13,000 contract with Luck Design Team to develop a master plan for Comanche Gap Historical Park.
In addition to master plan development, the proposed contract also includes fees for cultural resources archival review services, a cultural resources survey, data collection and site analysis and reimbursable expenses.
Funding for the design services is included in the 2012-13 budget, according to Parks and Recreation Director Jerry Bark.
Carpenter said the master plan is the second step in the 19-acre park project.
"Securing the land was first, but the second is getting a plan of action on how we're going to develop it, and down the road, how we're going to fund it in future years," he said.
The city bought the land in May from the family of Bill Alford, who operated a historical amusement park there in the 1960s and 1970s.
Most recently, it has been home to the annual Medicine Man awards ceremony.
The site is recognized by the Texas Historical Commission as the place where Comanche Indians abandoned two girls they kidnapped in a raid on settlers in 1859.
The historical marker was stolen, but the city ordered a new one, Bark said.
"We'll secure it until the master plan is complete and then we'll find a new home on the piece of property for that marker."
Luck Design Team, an Austin park planning and landscape architecture services firm, designed other projects for the city, including Harker Heights Community Park, Purser Family Park and the new Goode-Connell Park.
The company's proposal did not include a timeline for designing the Comanche Gap park.
"That will be part of the negotiation," Bark said.

MUSIC; The Met on Radio And Its Impact On American Taste
Published: November 26, 1989
(Page 2 of 2)
The Met sponsorship was considered so important for the corporate image that support was continued even during the 361 days in which Texaco was technically bankrupt in 1987 and 1988. ''During that time, it was even more important to maintain the goodwill of the public,'' Mr. Kinnear said. The Texaco president doesn't claim any special love for or expertise about opera, and says that was true of his six predecessors, all the way back to W. S. S. Rodgers, who held the post in 1940. Texaco's opera sponsorship amounts to a good business decision, he argues; it has never been a byproduct of any individual's ''personal enthusiasm for opera.''
So, it would seem, the Met is happy, Texaco is happy and the regular listeners of the broadcasts are happy. But what about the long-range impact of this venerable institution on American operatic culture?
The Met takes credit for helping to develop American regional opera through the broadcasts. By this argument, the Met on the radio was for decades the only, or at least the major, source of operatic entertainment for much of the country. It cultivated a taste for that art form that periodic Met tour visits couldn't slake, and eventually homegrown opera companies blossomed all over the land.
There may be some truth to that argument, but more likely the broadcasts cultivated a taste for operatic recordings. Many of the newer regional companies have taken a very different tack from the Met and the Met broadcasts - perhaps for fear that they can't compete on the Met's terms, but also perhaps because they reject the Met's esthetic presuppositions. The regional companies stress opera in English, venturesome repertory, opera as a theatrical experience.
A negative aspect of the Met broadcasts, or at least a characteristic that deserves mention, is their partly deliberate, partly inadvertent emphasis on opera as music, opera as song (in a foreign language, to boot) and opera as standard repertory. In short, the perpetuation of the image of opera in America as something exotic and old and cultish and safe.
Opera as music is clear: divorced from its theatrical and visual aspects, opera on the radio automatically stresses the sound of opera, as opposed to its drama or even its sense.
Opera as song derives in part from the formerly restricted frequency range of the broadcasts, which along with microphone placement tended to favor the singers at the expense of the orchestral fabric, and from the concentration during the Rudolf Bing years, now much modified, on singer-centered Italian repertory over all others.
In the 1930's, the Met used to commission operas with some regularity and even broadcast those commissions. But in recent years, the Met has become largely a curatorial repository for the masterworks of the past. And the hoary old intermission features and the genteel atmosphere of the broadcasts only perpetuate this museum atmosphere. While the transmission of a cultural legacy over the radio may satisfy conservatives who fear the erosion of cultural standards, it does little to encourage the belief that opera is, or can be, a living art, exciting, engaged and impassioned.
But there can be little doubt that the broadcasts have had a lasting benefit in the cultivation of operatic taste in this country. Besides that, they have provided countless millions of people with genuine pleasure. Which, after all, should be reward enough in itself.
In an intermission feature on the first Texaco-sponsored broadcast, on Dec. 7, 1940, Texaco's president, W.S.S. Rodgers, left, is joined by the announcer, Milton Cross, and the singers Gladys Swarthout and Lawrence Tibbett (pg. 25); Birgit Nilsson makes a cylinder recording for the Met quiz. (pg. 41)

Not a good experience - found help elsewhere
I went to Dr. Kern because I was having chronic sinus infections every three to four months. When I told him this, he seemed annoyed, as if this wasn't a big problem. He looked up my sinus with a scope very briefly and did it very abruptly and quickly. I'm not a baby about pain, but it wasn't comfortable. But more importantly, I felt like he discounted my health issues and acted as though I was wasting his time. Perhaps he wasn't the right person to see -- but he could have handled it much better and referred me elsewhere. I certainly wouldn't go back to see him again, given his manner and lack of caring. After talking with my primary care provider, I then opted to go to see an allergist instead, to try to get to the root of the problem. Dr. Kern could have easily suggested this, but did not. As it turns out, I have a strong dust mite allergy -- and all the suggestions and treatments the allergist (Dr. Carol Saltoun, also at Northwestern) has suggested have worked wonders. I have not had a sinus infection since I've seen her. As a busy working mother, this is a big deal to me, even if it wasn't an important matter to Dr. Kern.

I met with Dr Kern 18m ago after referral by my Dr. I had polyps, deviated septum and had been breathing through my mouth for 25 years thanks to the blockages in my hooter. Dr Kern was straight, direct and did not push surgery on me. I left with an open option to retun with no strings. 18m later I plucked up courage to have the surgery. The surgery was 6 days ago. I was thrilled with the service from the whole team on the day. The recovery was what you'd expect after the various things done - uncomfortable but I chose the 'light' painkiller option over coedine which I was also prescribed. I went back to see Dr Kern this morning as part of the normal recovery timetable. He took the splints and mesh out of my nose - not fun but 5 minutes of discomfort managed with concern and compassion as my eyes watered ! So today feels like the first day of the rest of my life. I am breathing through my nose and it feels like 2 huge pipes. Amazing. I have no pain and I would do it all again tomorrow despite very recent recovery experience. Dr Kern is a pro - no small talk - straightforward no nonsense bedside manner - he took my wife aside before surgery to reassure her. I'm delighted with the results so far and highly recommend him.

World Renown Otolaryngologist
Dr. Kern & his staff are absolutely amazing. He was recommended to me as a world renowned surgeon & the leader in his field. I was diagnosed with a Cholestrol Granuloma a year & a half ago. Dr. Kern recommend a newer endoscopic endonasal procedure to remove the Granuloma Tumors. Surgery was a huge success & feel back to my normal self again. I recently received a clean bill of health after a year of the surgery. I was blessed to have met such a phenomenal Doctor. Thank you Dr. Kern, Dr. Chandler & your staff for giving me an opportunity to have my normal life back.

Customer Reviews
Almost there, Feedly!
The app is improving: if you don't finish a post before exiting the app, it will still be marked as unread; navigation inside the app is smooth and simple; blogs are easy to find; thankfully the icons were described so you don't have to just guess what they mean.
However, there are still some issues. Following links is tricky. If you just click one link from the post, you're good. The problem comes when following multiple links, I constantly am accidentally finding myself back in the app when I was trying to save where I was or just go back one page. Now if I see something I want to explore, I immediately go to chrome to find it there before I continue in Feedly. Also Feedly continuously tries to share random posts on twitter. I don't know why this happens but it's not the end of the world as it only causes a delay of a few seconds.
Overall, the best reader I've used.
Great Job Guys!
I'm not sure what you guys did... but I've just reinstalled Feedly to my phone after a brief absent and the app has become even more amazing than I've remembered it. I've always loved this app, but compared to flipboard, the pictures on the feeds had always appeared washed out and bland. As a result I've always had this constant fight between installing Feedly and Flipboard, constantly switching between both apps and random periods of time.
With this new update to the app, I'd like to say you guys have finally arrived... no longer would I have to switch to any other reader, I can now fully use Feedly as my one true stand alone RSS reader.
Congrats again guys... keep up your good work!
Great Service; Okay app
I've been a Feedly user since Google Reader shutdown and found it to be a great service, but the iOS app, while useful, lacks some key features the prevent it from being a great app.
1. The current scrolling option is one page at a time. This is awkward to use given that the web interface (and just about every other iOS Feedly reader) can scroll up and down without jumping a page at a time.
2. There are just two themes, neither of which are that elegant. The dark theme is difficult to read, with the text being and poor choice of whitish. The day theme is too bright. There is no way to create a custom theme.
3. There is no way to specify another saving service, like pinboard. You are stuck with the the five Feedly has chosen to integrate.
4. One of the great RSS readers, Mr. Reader, had the ability to customize views on a per-site basis. It you wanted the readability view, you switched over and clicked the lock button. If you wanted the raw RSS view for a different site, you could lock that in. It was and incredibly useful feature.
As I migrate to the iPad as my primary computing device, I would like continue to use Feedly as my provider.

Large reward offered for information leading to arrest of 'monsters' who killed the dog in Mayo
A large reward is being offered by an animal rights group for information leading to the arrest of the people responsible for the brutal killing of a dog in Mayo.
Shocking images, which appeared on the North West SPCA Ballina Facebook page, show the body of a dog which was recovered from the River Moy in Ballina.
Animal rights group ARAN say they are responding to a deluge of calls from outraged members of the public in response to the horrific case of cruelty.
"As a result of this latest case of cruelty, the group is offering a reward of up to €1500 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible", Aran said.
The animal, which is believed to be a one-year-old lab/collie mix, had been tied at the neck to a concrete cinder block and drowned.

Devin Hester
NFL Chicago Bears: NFC Champions 2006
2006 was the Bears' best season in 21 years, as they ended the regular season just one win short of the Super Bowl. Relive every moment of the powerhouse season in which head coach Lovie Smith delivered on his plan to return the team to glory. Rex Grossman led the hard-hitting offense with 23 touchdown passes, while Devin Hester earned an NFL record for most touchdown returns in a single season in his first year with the franchise.

With tensions mounting over Ukraine's stability, the Obama administration is readying additional sanctions for Russia ahead of a Thursday meeting between U.S., Ukrainian, Russian and European Union officials aimed at resolving the crisis.
Secretary of State John Kerry spoke by phone with his French, German and British counterparts on Tuesday, but new sanctions are unlikely to be imposed before Thursday's talks in Geneva, according to State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf.
"Tomorrow will be the first opportunity for Russia, Ukraine, the EU and the United States to sit down at a table together and discuss a range of issues, including and most importantly, de-escalation, demobilization," Harf told reporters during a Wednesday briefing.
U.S. officials want the Russian government to pull its forces back from the border and from the Crimean region of Ukraine, halt what they view as support for destabilizing actions by pro-Russian forces in the eastern part of the country and to call on those armed separatist groups to stand down and disarm.
Although Russia has yet to invade the rest of Ukraine, it has shown little willingness to comply with the West's demands and will likely rebuff the latest calls. The U.S. and Europe are expected to expand sanctions against leading Russian figures in the days following the Geneva meeting.
"We have additional sanctions prepared," Harf said. "As we said, don't expect any before tomorrow's meeting, but if there are not steps taken by Russia to de-escalate, we will take additional steps, including additional sanctions."
Those sanctions reportedly could target Igor Sechin, a longtime ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the president of Rosneft, the largest state-owned Russian oil company. Rosneft, has extensive ties to European and U.S. companies; BP owns 20 percent of it and it has a number of joint ventures with ExxonMobil.
The meeting also will give the parties the chance to discuss concerns about using Ukrainian dependence on Russian energy supplies as a weapon.
"We have been very clear about what they should and should not be doing when it comes to energy for Ukraine, and Europe and other folks as well," Harf said.
Harf also had harsh words for Russian claims that Moscow is playing no role in pro-Russian separatists coordinated seizures of buildings and other areas in eastern Ukraine.
"What we're doing is responding to misinformation and falsehood that the Russian government is putting forward about its actions," she said. "We have a responsibility to not let propaganda that's false stand."

The facts presented at trial are as follows. In the late 1990s, Trent Moore ("Moore"), an amateur photographer and former owner of a yellow pages ad production company, founded Yellow Pages Photos, Inc. ("YPPI"), to create and license stock photographs tailored to the yellow pages industry. YPPI set out to create stock photos that were relevant to the directory industry from a subject matter perspective. By 2004, YPPI owned a library of over 4,000 copyrighted photos that for efficiency were grouped into collections—also referred to throughout as "headings"—that generally corresponded to yellow pages headings, such as "Plumbers," "Roofers," "Attorneys," or "Landscape."Ok, sorry Trent but that seems like a terrible business idea.

NATSO Declines ABC News Request
News story on truck stops raises eyebrows.
By W.B. King
ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- When a producer from ABC's New York office contacted the National Association of Truck Stop Operators (NATSO) requesting a location to serve as a backdrop for an upcoming story on childhood prostitution, emotions were mixed.
"This was a sad, tragic story but we could not see how being a host would benefit our members," NATSO vice president of public affairs Mindy Long told CSNews Online.
Indeed, it is a tragic story. In 2005, two 16-yeard-old girls were kidnapped in Ohio and forced into a prostitution ring, a nightmare that lasted nearly three months and ended at a truck stop in Ann Arbor, Mich., where the girls were arrested. It was at that time that their story of abuse and torment was revealed.
According to Long, ABC had backlogged the story which will air on July 9. And while the reporting was completed, producers were requesting a location for stand-ups and transition shots; however, the locations that were suggested were located in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, more than a thousand miles from where the crimes were committed.
"We felt that it didn't make sense and we didn't want to associate a truck stop that wasn't involved with the story," Long told CSNews Online. "It would be like doing a story on the Olive Garden at a Cheesecake Factory."
Long was alerted to the story after one member received a request from ABC News. "NATSO should speak on behalf of our members and the industry," she said, adding that while no members have agreed to be filmed, they are entitled to make their own decisions.
In an amiable compromise, Long explained that NATSO has agreed to assist ABC in finding filler shots at other locations. "If we had more time we could have been more helpful," she said. "We will look to get shots of rows of trucks from area rest stops."
And while Long said she doesn't know that angle of the soon-to-be aired news piece, she maintained that NATSO is committed to providing its members with appropriate information and guidance. "This issue is very important," she told CSNews Online. "Our members want to provide a safe place for customers."

Trading is both entertaining and can be a source of income. However, every trader and investor wants to know for sure that their money, personal data, and information about transactions are safe. Only regulated certified brokers that work in compliance with all the rules and regulations of the European Union can give you such a guarantee.
Trading is becoming increasingly popular in the world. Many people are fascinated by the idea of making money in Forex and other markets. But at the same time grows the number of dishonest brokers who violate market rules and use fraud schemes. That's why you need to be cautious and give preference to regulated Forex brokers, as they are controlled by official regulatory bodies.
The main purpose of such regulators is to fight illegal work schemes, fraud transactions, and improve the quality of financial services. This means that a regulated broker is more reliable and safe compared to an independent broker.
Advantages of a regulated broker:
- Before opening an account, a trader can contact the regulator to find information about the broker;
- Regulated brokers act in accordance with all the rules and requirements of the regulatory authority;
- Regulated brokers must have a reserve fund to pay back the traders in the case of bankruptcy or unforeseen circumstances;
- In case of a dispute, the trader and the broker can seek arbitration from the regulatory authority.
Thus, working with a regulated broker is an excellent opportunity for any trader to do their job and feel safe.

Gunboat 'Beautiful bessie' by tommowWatch
©2011-2017 tommow
I know this isn't my usual kind of art, but this is possibly one of the best Lego models I've ever made. The Beautiful Bessie is a gunboat converted from a small sized cargo barge by A small band of mercenaries known only as the mercenaries.Upgades include weapons such as the forward mounted gauss cannons, a mid mounted ship to ship flak cannon, and rear mounted laser guided missiles. other upgrades include new avionics, a new errain following radar system, and jamming arrays. I built this sometime last year, but I've never uploaded it for some reason. I am currently working on a brand new version.
God-damn that's awesome.
that is awsome, lego is one of thest mediums for creation, love this , reminds me a little of battlestar galactica design style
Thanks, I'm glad you like it I'm working on a larger one atm actually
awsome, i made a u-boat once went through 5 variants , lots of fun but the interior took ages, and it was a bit odd, because i was forced to make it yellow,
Oh wow, that sounds very impressive Why were you forced to make it yellow though?
mainly because i only had enough inclines in that colour
Ah, ok Have you built any since? I'd really like to see some of your models
unfortunatly i haven't, since going off to uni i've given most of my stuff to my younger brother, i have a few bionicle creations still in one peice, but most other things such as subs, ships, bunkers, and aircraft get dismantled after a short time, but i built a few really good 8x8, 6x6 and halftrack super tanks , but its a shame i don't have the parts anymore
so it's got a few tools to it?

Insurance Group
This car's insurance group is 16E.
Renault's Kadjar crossover is the big brother to the Captur. The French company might have been late to this game but it's catching up fast. Andy Enright checks it out.
Ten Second Review
The Renault Kadjar dives into the crossover market, firing a broadside at the likes of the Mazda CX5, the Volkswagen Tiguan and the Hyundai ix35. It's a good-looking thing based on the same running gear as its alliance sibling, the Nissan Qashqai. Offered in either front or all-wheel drive, first impressions seem extremely promising.
That name first. That had us all guessing. North African tribe? Middle Eastern trade wind? Wrong and wrong. Apparently it's one of those portmanteau French words where 'Kad' is inspired by the world 'quad' (the casual term for a four-wheeled all-terrain vehicle) and 'Jar' is a reference to the French words 'agile' and 'jaillir,' which means to 'emerge quickly'. Still, this is the crew who brought us Kangoos and Twizys, so perhaps it's best not to linger. It's pretty easy to position just what this car is though. Big brother to the Captur crossover, it's spun off the same platform as alliance partner Nissan's huge-selling Qashqai. Renault reckons there's enough room in the market to go poaching sales from the likes of Volkswagen, Kia and Toyota rather than merely cannibalise Qashqai sales. Let's take a look and see if they're onto something.
Driving Experience
The Kadjar runs on what they call the CMF-C/D platform, terminology which might make as little sense to you as the name 'Kadjar'. In fact, it references Renault and Nissan's largest shared modular chassis. This model uses much the same 1.5 and 1.6-litre turbodiesel engines seen in the Qashqai, the 1.5-litre unit developing 110bhp and offering the option of EDC twin clutch automatic transmission. And the 1.6-litre unit offering 130bhp and alone offering the option of 4WD. There's also a 1.2-litre 130bhp TCe petrol option for those wanting it. The basic suspension setup is also carried over from the Qashqai, albeit with some Renault-specific tuning. It's manoeuvrable in town, with a tight 10.72m turning circle and the driving position has been designed to mirror that of a typical saloon, rather than a high-set 4x4. It's not designed for anything too serious off-road but is still offered in both front and all-wheel drive guises. The front-wheel drive versions are fitted with an 'Extended Grip' system, which is claimed to enhance grip on low-traction surfaces. The all-wheel-drive system offers three specific modes: Auto, Lock and FWD. If you do choose to take the Kadjar off the beaten track, a 19cm high ground clearance lends it some ability, while front and rear skid plates will help if the 18 degree approach and 25 degree departure angles prove insufficient.
Design and Build
Surprise, surprise - the Kadjar looks for all the world like a scaled-up Captur, which in itself is no bad thing. There are the same deeply sculpted flanks and familiar Renault family face. It's much the same size as a Qashqai, as you'd expect, although the French proudly point out that's it's bigger in its exterior dimensions The Kadjar is quite a bit larger than the Qashqai, at 4.45m long, 1.84m wide and is 1.6m high. The fascia is neatly executed with decent materials choices, but there's nothing about it that immediately smacks of Renault. Some might see that as a good thing given some of the wacky cabins Renault has delivered in recent memory, and there's nothing here that's going to put off those looking for a smart and presentable driving environment. The boot is a useful 42-litres bigger than a Qashqai's at 472-litres to the tonneau cover. You get handles that drop the rear seats in their 60/40 split, an organiser that prevents your shopping spilling all over the boot when you corner and a split level load floor. There's also 30-litres of oddments storage around the cabin and the front passenger seat can even be folded to use as an impromptu table. The Kadjar is a car that Renault has really big plans for. UK versions will be built in Palencia in Spain, but Asian-spec models will be the first Renault vehicles to be manufactured in China.
Market and Model
Pricing is, as expected, pitched just above that of Renault's smaller Captur crossover to a level that's pretty comparable with the Nissan Qashqai this car is based upon. That means a starting price of around £18,000 and four trim levels - 'Exression+', 'Dynamique Nav', 'Dynamique S Nav' and 'Signature Nav'. Core features on Expression+ include an automatic electronic parking brake, front foglights, LED daytime running lamps, tinted windows, a 7-inch TFT instrument panel with digital speedometer, all-round electric windows, driver's seat height adjustment, air conditioning, Bluetooth, a USB socket and a 4 x 20W DAB radio with fingertip controls and an AUX input. As for connectivity, the easy-to-use R-Link 2 system is fitted to all models above 'Expression+'. Standard safety features include ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution, electronic stability control with traction and understeer control, cruise control, speed limiter, Hill Start Assist, six airbags, seat belts with load limiters and pretensioners at the front, side impact protection bars and ISOFIX child-seat mounting points on the two outer rear seats. All versions have gravel, dust and rain protection kits, while for comfort and convenience there is an accessory power point, a 12-volt front socket, a trip computer, two-way adjustable steering column and an exterior temperature indicator.
Cost of Ownership
As we've said, the 1.5 and 1.6-litre diesel engines that feature in the Kadjar are the same as those used by the similar Qashqai - and of course get much the same excellent efficiency figures. The 1.5-litre dCi diesel unit is the engine to choose if you feel that fuel station pasties and chocolate bars are sabotaging your fitness regime. This gets 74.3 miles per gallon and 99g/km of CO2 - and the 1.6-litre diesel isn't that much worse. Here, you get 113g/km and 65.7mpg if you go for a manual front-wheel drive version, with an equivalent four-wheel drive car registering 126g/km and 58.8mpg. Go for the petrol 1.2-litre Tce 130 variant and you'll manage 126g/km of CO2 and 50.4mpg on the combined cycle. All versions provide the peace of mind of Renault's 4+ warranty and assistance package. The car is protected against defects recognised by Renault for four years or 100,000 miles (first two years have no mileage limit). In the event of a breakdown, Renault provides emergency roadside repairs or towing to the nearest dealer 24/7 every day of the year, plus three years' European cover. There is also a three-year paint warranty and 12 years' cover against corrosion. Servicing is required once a year or every 18,000 miles.
The success of the Nissan Qashqai has been a phenomenon and it seems bizarre that partner Renault has been left out in the cold for so long with no spin-off crossover vehicle. The Kadjar is a case of 'better late than never' and while there is the chance that it will scavenge a few Nissan sales, Renault firmly believes that it'll be sufficiently strong to purloin more than a few orders from Kia, Volkswagen and other makers of medium-sized crossovers. We wouldn't bet against it. Cars in this class are largely bought on styling and image and, wacky name aside, the Kadjar looks to have both of those things well accounted for. It's certainly a more confident, adventurous-looking thing than the Qashqai on which it's based. With Renault's usual palette of strident paint finishes and slick personalisation options, if the marketing is right, the orders will come.

Where is God When I Hurt? (4 of 6) by Stan Coffey

Where is God When I Hurt?
Stan Coffey
Psalm 139:7-10
Today if you have your Bible I want us to study from Psalm 139 and we will be looking at several passages today. I am speaking about help for hurting people. And today I want to talk about, "Where Is God When I Hurt?" Have you ever wondered that? It seems like God is far away sometimes if we really be honest. When we are hurting and need God the most, sometimes we can't sense His presence. Sometimes we are not sure of His love and sure of His grace. And so, that is a question that people ask over and over again. When I am hurting where is God? Psalm 139:7 answers that question because it speaks of the omnipresence of God. And all through the Bible we learn that God is omnipresent, that God is everywhere. And that is what David is talking about. You ask somebody where is God? They might say, well, God is in heaven. That is partly true. Or God is in my heart that is partly true. There are some people who believe God lives in church buildings and that is the only place God lives. That is not right. The Bible says that He doesn't dwell in temples made with the hands of men, but God dwells in the temple of your body through the Holy Spirit. Where is God when you need Him?
You know, it is sort of mind boggling when you think about the omnipresence of God, that God is everywhere, that He is transcendent. Did you ever stop to think that God doesn't have to go anywhere He is already there? And God is a God who is present no matter where you are. The Bible says that He is everywhere. That you can't hide yourself in a secret place from God. Even though it be the depth of the sea, God would be there. Even though it would be the grave, God would be there. Wherever you go, God is. There is no point in the entire universe where God is not. Not just the earth, but also the whole universe, where God is not. God is everywhere.
So in a sense, it is impossible for Go ...
