Well that was fun. After being horribly ill on Boxing Day, I was well enough to attend Upton Park yesterday and had a brilliant day. It's a proper old-fashioned ground (forgive the cliche), and if you've never been I urge you to try and attend in its final season next year. I'll miss it.
My video blog reaction to the game is directly above, but the real point of this post is to nudge you in the direction of my latest SportLobster blog, which looks in closer detail at questions surrounding Francis Coquelin, Danny Welbeck and Chuba Akpom. If I said the same thing here, I'd simply be repeating myself.
I think I enjoyed this win more than any other this season. That's largely because it was an enthralling game with a cracking atmosphere, but also because it feels like a significant result: I don't mind admitting that I was absolutely convinced we'd lose. Andy Carroll is usually like kryptonite for us, but we coped surprisingly well with the aerial onslaught. The Stoke debacle has clouded what's actually been a very decent run of results.
Southampton next. If we can come back from St. Mary's with a point or more we'll reflect on a very merry festive period indeed.

Along the Monster's Spine - a short story collection. AVAILABLE NOW!
You can order your copy from Amazon - click here.
Description from the book's cover:
The sixteen stories in this collection capture the unknown and the familiar.
A young boy's bed becomes sentient when the child asks it to take him to secret locations. A woman's every intense thought is projected into the minds of those around her - and her resulting loneliness becomes an unlikely magnet. A young woman enters adulthood in a swampland as she reconciles a life path different than her peers - one in which she is literally immersed into her love of the swamp. A young man lives in an aimless world where adults have given up on teenagers - allowing them to do whatever they want, until he finds direction from someone who is imminently due to vanish out of existence.
In these stories you will find people who struggle with the transition to adulthood, find love, and face mortality. And in these stories small towns exist on the back of gigantic monsters, rain rises instead of falls, and mummies aimlessly wander cities like wild animals.
Perfect for readers of Kelly Link, George Saunders, and Aimee Bender. The stories in this collection reveal a magical concoction of human truths in bizarre worlds. A marvelous and heady brew of the weird, the strange, and the all-too-real.
Many, but not all, of these stories have been previously published in literary magazines and journals. Here are links to some of the stories included in this collection:
Professor Tinderbrooks' Hauntingly Horrific Extravaganza - in Goreyesque (a tribute to Edward Gorey)
The Minotaur - in A cappella Zoo (Issue 12)

Call it the Return of E.
Once the five-year mark is up on E. Eric Guirard's disbarment, the former personal injury attorney is intent on petitioning the Louisiana Supreme Court for reinstatement to the practice of law. That won't be possible until May 2014.
Until then, he is planning his reentry into the public consciousness through an anti-aging clinic, a foundation, a rap album touting Tea Party politics, and shoe sales.
It's a long way from the multimillion-dollar legal empire that he and partner Tommy Pittenger built, with 18 lawyers, 50 paraprofessionals, 30,000 clients and a $1.2 million Italian Renaissance-style headquarters on a downtown hill.
With his ubiquitous television advertisements touting the "E Guarantee," Guirard became a household name whether you liked him or not.
But all of that came to a halt in May 2009, when he and his then-partner were disbarred. The Louisiana Supreme Court decided they had violated the rules of professional conduct by paying commissions to employees who were not lawyers and by allowing case managers who were not attorneys to provide legal advice to clients.
"After they kicked me out of the club, my first instinct was to start looking at some other business opportunities to see what else I could possibly do that might utilize my different talents and interests," Guirard says.
"Unfortunately, with disbarment, not only do they take away your career and your reputation and your livelihood and your ability to feed your children and your multimillion dollar business and all that; there are very strict rules in regards to what you can do—even tangentially do—related to the practice of law. So you're very restricted. You can't do anything that you've been trained for in the past three decades."
Business first
Guirard had always been a businessman first, so he started looking for other opportunities to make money.
First, he put a year's worth of effort into opening E. Eric Guirard's Eternal Health Anti-Aging Center, replete with hormone replacement therapy, intravenous vitamin treatments, detoxification regimens and hyperbaric chambers.
For reasons he did not discuss, the center just didn't work out.
"I saw a market need for that sort of thing here in town, and it still may happen, but just because of some different setbacks, it has been put on the shelf for now," he says. "But I do think that's a thriving business opportunity that I intend to get involved with in the future perhaps."
A bad case of plantar fasciitis brought Guirard his latest business opportunity: selling shoes. During a desperate Internet search for relief, he discovered a product called Z-Coil: an orthotic shoe with a freestanding heel attached to a spring coil. He's back to running and playing basketball, pain-free.
Guirard says he's "on the verge of getting involved" with the chiropractor who owns the franchise in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, and marketing the footwear as E. Eric Guirard E-Spring Shoes.
"I saw a big opportunity there, because marketing certainly is one of the good things that I can do, and I was very successful with that in the law field," Guirard says. "So I said, 'I'm going to transfer my marketing efforts to the Z-Coil product. Got to keep that E on."
The foundation
The truck is back.
The 12-foot box truck formerly known as the "Clean E Team" is now in use again, this time as a billboard for the E. Eric Guirard Foundation, complete with a gigantic letter E and Guirard's face. There's a website, too, though it has little more than a donate button and a guest book.
Guirard has formed his own 501[c][3] organization to tackle some pretty heady issues: race relations, obesity, crime and litter.
"The truck wasn't being used, so I thought it would be a great way to do a teaser for the foundation, to let people know it was coming," he says. "I thought the best way to do that was to put that E up there and my big old face just to get people started talking. That's always the first step in these kinds of things. When people start talking about, 'What is E up to now?' from there I'll be able to jettison into some projects that I think can incorporate the entire city and the community."
Guirard is a one-man foundation staff, helped out by friends, volunteers and Otey White & Associates. The organization, he says, is still very much in its formative stage—"in the crib," as he puts it.
But the goal is to make a splash with a race relations project this summer. He says he's in preliminary talks with the mayor's office and wants to involve a citywide church organization, too.
"I'm not at liberty to tell you the name of it yet," he says. "But it's a pro-ject that is going to capture the imagi-nation of the city and the enthusiasm of the people. It's going to start this summer, and we'll have it in full force by football season."
His own rap album
This 52-year-old conservative white disbarred lawyer is also a rapper, most likely the only one of his demographic in the marketplace. "I am gonna dominate that segment," he says.
He's about to release his first CD on his own label, a collection curiously entitled The Tea Party Anthem.
Guirard isn't new to the musical genre. In 1981, while still a senior at LSU, he wrote Tigers to the Top, the theme song for the men's basketball team that advanced to the Final Four in Philadelphia and finished 31-5.
The Tea Party Anthem, full of what the self-described "conservatarian" terms "clean, political, conservative rap," finished recording in April and will be for Internet sale sometime in May. Tracks include Dehyphenate, about race relations; War, which argues that battle is sometimes justified; Gimme Five, about his own political governmental philosophy; Gotta Be An American, about immigration; and The Pledge of Allegiance, a song he wrote after 9/11.
"I was Tea Party before Tea Party was cool," says Guirard, who ran for lieutenant governor in 1995 on the "Hire Me to Fire Me" platform urging the end of that particular political office. He might have another go at politics.
"Why not?" he says. "Victim of government injustice—I'm like the poster boy."
Still making money
Despite not having a steady business, Guirard is neither down nor out.
He's still able to collect interest on any of the 3,000 cases that were under way at the firm when he was still allowed to practice law.
He and Pittenger still collect rent on the Italian Renaissance-style headquarters that now houses Dudley DeBosier, which advertises itself with the letter D—for "Demand Dudley DeBosier"—and promises, not the E Guarantee, but a No Fee Guarantee.
He still drives that Jag with the "E" license plate.
And his two children—Eason Eric and Eden Eric [both E. Eric]—attend Episcopal High School, he says, primarily because it was the only school in the city that he could find that starts with the letter E. Tuition for their age level is $11,200 per child.
It isn't the practice of law that Guirard misses, given that he wasn't actually handling cases at the time of his disbarment. But he misses the business and the marketing.
Once his five-year punishment is up, he can apply for reinstatement, a request the Supreme Court must consider. He's confident he has as good a chance as anyone of getting back in.
If he is successful, he says, he might consider combining his own practice with that of Dudley DeBosier, or possibly restart E. Eric Guirard Injury Lawyers. Whatever he decides to do, it will certainly incorporate the E brand.
Says Guirard: "I'm hopeful that the court will see that perhaps they were a little too draconian with my sentence, and that I really deserve to be back in."

In the previous post, I talked briefly about how religious faith must ultimately include some element of faith in people, and how that element leads to its pitfalls. The same could be said of secular faith, although the pitfalls are different. I, myself, have admittedly kept stumbling into them throughout my life, and my hiatus in posting on this blog is largely due to my struggles with relentlessly betrayed and tarnished faith.
I will be talking about different kinds of faith, and it helps to distinguish between them.
There is faith in the existence of entities with some concrete (as opposed to abstract) component, be they people, gods, institutions and other social constructs, and inanimate objects. An explorer at sea may hold faith in the presence of land beyond the horizon; a good person living among hypocrites may hold faith in the existence of honest people, knowing himself to be one; and burglars may hold faith in the possessions of the house they are about to break into. Although I do entertain the possibility of different entities whose existence I have not confirmed, and enjoy exploring how these entities may fit into the world, I do not act on the basis of such entities' existence.
Concepts – abstract entities – do not require this sort of faith. Anyone who may envision them has discovered them and is assured of their existence. This is, perhaps, the greatest strength of nonreligious morality: one may dismiss the notion of a timeless, immutable god, but one cannot deny the existence of timeless, immutable moral principles. One may only challenge them on moral grounds. There are those who will certainly claim that these principles are human inventions; but that would be like saying that the circle and the exponential function are human inventions, yet assuredly, the space defined by all points equidistant to a given point would still exist, and the decay of radioactive substances would still occur, in the absence of humans. We understand these concepts, yet we are not their creators – merely the creators of our own understanding, our own interpretation of them.
There are other kinds of faith concerning entities: faith in their actual and potential properties; faith in their actual and potential processes (either actions that these entities carry out or phenomena that they undergo). I have faith in certain potential properties and processes, provided that I am assured of the existence of the entities to whom they pertain, though I rely on evidence, rather than faith, to assess whether properties or processes of any given kind exist.
As with entities, properties and processes that have some concrete component require faith. I am happy to envision their possibility (and may thus discover them to exist) but cannot act on their basis unless I know they exist. By contrast, as with abstract entities, I know that abstract processes and properties exist as soon as I confirm their logical consistency.
In short, I do not hold faith that some concrete entity exists, existed or will exist; that some concrete process happened, is happening or will happen; or that some entity or process had, has or will have certain properties. Rather, I hold faith in the potential for processes to occur, for entities to arise and for them to take on certain properties. This is what fundamentally distinguishes religious from secular faith – the former deals with actuality, whereas the latter addresses potential.
Morality, as I define it, is the organization of one's own intent. In order for intent to arise, there must be an imagined situation – however concrete or abstract – towards whose realization the intent exists. Faith in potential situations, then, is faith that can drive the mind to bring about these situations. Whereas religious faith often assumes that supernatural entities will bring about such situations even without human intervention, secular morality assumes that the supernatural does not exist, and so, the only moral agents in the world are sentient creatures.
This has a tremendous implication: whereas religion may give comfort to believers in the form of great, protective deities, those who adhere to secular morality acknowledge no such deity, and believe we must fight in the name of our principles within a world that offers no supernatural safeguards. It is ultimately the responsibility of good people to bring about definitive good, and no divine hand is assumed to descend from the heavens to rescue our toils should we fail. Moreover, we do not have the comfort of a deity that can forgive our crimes; if we commit wrongs, we must settle them with those who were wronged, and should those people die before we can fulfill our duty to them, we must find a way to redeem ourselves against those similarly wronged. There is always the possibility – the extreme scenario – that we will simply be unable to redeem ourselves, particularly in the event that our own actions cause irreparable harm to our own moral reasoning and our ability to act on it. All this intensifies our desire to ensure that we are doing the right thing in all our actions, and therefore improves, through practice, our ability to pursue moral reasoning.
Faith in potential situations is rightly limited by our understanding of the world. Certain things – such as squaring the circle – simply cannot be done. Complexity theory can show other problems to be intractable using the currently available algorithms. In our physical existence, once we place ourselves into a given scenario, we may not be able to secure the desired outcome for it. If we had somehow found ourselves in Hiroshima on the 6th of August, 1945, an hour before the atomic bomb fell, no amount of preparation could have prevented our deaths. Likewise, we may place ourselves into a losing position during a fight, or find ourselves striving to keep a doomed business afloat, unaware of its impending collapse. Yet given the best of our knowledge, we have faith that success is attainable.
Faith is absolutely essential; without it, nothing would get done. We would not stride into the world to accomplish our plans, and would not come to build the means to verify their feasibility, were we not endowed with our faith to begin with. To engender the assumption that things cannot be done unless they have already been done is to forsake innovation on one's part; and in a world littered with trinkets of past innovation, all demonstrating of the success of innovative thinking, this is a deeply false assumption to make.
If one begins with faith, rather than skepticism, in potential situations, one is able to examine all of them, both to assess their validity in different contexts (for instance, whether they can manifest in different worlds) and to determine their moral value. One can therefore understand far more than . Indeed, one can envision and . .
A crucial aspect of religion is that there exists a potential situation, such as passage into the afterlife, that people can bring about or prevent through their moral actions. Hindus and Buddhists believe in moksha, the escape from the endless cycle of death and rebirth that defines worldly existence (samsara) in Hindu cosmology; they do not assume they will automatically attain moksha in a finite number of lives, and so they strive towards attaining it by doing good deeds and developing the right state of mind. The pagan Norsemen sought to die in battle and thus potentially arise in Valhalla, whereupon they would train ceaselessly in preparation for an apocalyptic war. Zoroastrians and Jews believe in an eventual Day of Judgement in which the worthy dead will be resurrected and live immortally. Christians and Muslims likewise believe in the Day of Judgement, as well as the judgement of individual souls upon death. Even ideological faiths, such as the Marxist and Fascist branches of Socialism, assume the possibility or the inevitability of some process that will lead to the triumph of the ideologies' (pseudo)moral tenets throughout the world, and the judgement (in the practical rather than moral sense) of both collaborators and reactionaries. Ultimately, in these narratives, morality itself (or its ideological proxy) has an impact on the world, either through its manifestation as concrete pursuits (such as the cataclysmic battle against evil) or by its own merit, irrespective of such pursuits (as in the judgement of souls about to enter an afterlife). Without such overarching moral processes, one has no reason to interact with the supernatural other than for the satisfaction of mundane desires, be they the quelling of supernatural threats through ritual sacrifice or the provision of a good harvest through prayer.
[work in progress]
As an example, my own faith lies chiefly in potential processes, specifically in my ability to gain an accurate understanding of right and wrong, universally, and to follow it unflinchingly; to support good in all its forms, wherever it manifests, and to oppose evil in all its forms, wherever it manifests. Though I do not believe in any afterlife, I do believe the present life, by serving as a manifestation of abstract ideals, is rendered sacred, and so I carry out judgements upon myself by reasoning about my actions (past, present or future), and am open to the fair-minded, good-intentioned judgement of others.
I have tremendous faith that good can manifest ubiquitously in the world, and that the good may bring about the complete dissolution of evil; that, while such an outcome is far from certain, it is available for the virtuous to pursue. I further believe that I can aid this process by cultivating good and opposing evil within and by way of my every action; that I can build virtue within myself and manifestations of good – be they acts of compassion, inspiration, violence against evil or any other noble pursuit – outside of myself, while refusing to pursue whatever actions might contribute to the manifold causes of evil. Rather than take the consequentialist belief that "the end justifies the means", I recognize that every means is an end in and of itself, to be judged with the same determination as the overarching goal it leads to, and so I refrain from evil entirely.
Believing in the absolute victory of good, I therefore have faith that good people can, with adequate knowledge and the wisdom to apply it, bring about the definitive triumph of good. This does, in principle, assume that there are enough good people in the world to do this – and so it clashes with my natural skepticism. It also assumes that populations of good people can self-perpetuate, which may be an incorrect assumption in the event that certain feminine traits that drive women to pursue evil, such as hypergamy, are ubiquitous among women. However, it would not be far-fetched to assume that the top 2% of the population in regrards to moral ability, be they male or female, enjoy either the absence of inborn evil desires or the capacity to transcend these desires. This top 2%, if it became organized as a community, would hopefully be able to bring the world out of its corrupt state. This is not something that can be done by coercing the immoral (coercion is evil, as I will set out to prove) or showing to the amoral that (manipulation is evil, as I will also set out to prove), but by mutually strengthening those who are moral, providing them with aid in their pursuit of justice, kindness, understanding and devotion.
Moral reasoning is an essential part of this process; indeed, without possessing moral reasoning, one can never ascertain one's goal. The unrestrained pursuit of moral enquiry is thus essential for the development of authentic moral goals.

This is the exact same pattern as this Washi dress, but worked up in Nani Iro cotton double gauze. The fabric is a dream to sew, especially after that nasty poly satin, which slithered all over the place and promptly sprung back from any attempts to press hems up and whatnot. Double gauze holds pressed folds like a dream and gripped itself quite obligingly–I barely needed pins–and is soft and lightweight and just altogether lovely. Most of the patterns and colorways are a little sweet for my taste, but these floral rings are both pretty and geometric and the background is my favorite shade of purple-gray. The yardage is narrow though; I didn't have enough of it for the pockets and ended up using some lavender cotton scraps.
Next up: the hidden bats dress.

- Plagiarism

- Ethical policies
- Invalid file
- Eps has no relation with the preview
- Elements wrongly placed in the artboard
Limited Commercial Value/Insufficient Standards
Looking at the number of downloads and the profitability we've received, we've considered that the image has not reached the correct number of downloads to be profitable. This could be due to a number of reasons: simplicity in the composition of the image, insufficient level of technical quality, a theme not sought out by our users…
We can also reject the images when they don't meet the style requisites demanded by the company, aesthetically and technically speaking (the clarity, for example).
Group in a Pack
Your image does not meet with the minimum standards of complexity in the composition, but if it were grouped with similar assets it could be accepted. For example, the logos that are proposed individually, are more likely to be accepted if proposed in a pack of four.
Bitmapping Vector Files
Images that contain elements that are not vectors in the .eps file (photographs) will not be accepted. Editable photographs can only be included in the case the author can demonstrate that he/she has the rights to them, or if they are free of rights for commercial use.
In any case, only the preview design may be included on the webpage and must include the tag IMAGE NOT INCLUDED where it is visible on the preview file.
If there are no images of free commercial use, images from freepik.com can be used in the way (.eps and preview file with tag).
This type of cases is common with templates, brochures, previews of business cards, and invitations that use backgrounds in the preview to create a more attractive presentation, but the .eps only contains vector elements.
Missing Image Not Including Tags
And image has been included in the previews that has not been included in the .eps. this must be specified with the tag IMAGE NOT INCLUDED in the preview.
Auto Trace Vector Files
If the design contains an interactive trace of a photograph, it will be rejected IN ALL CASES.
If an interactive has been done for textures or watercolors, the following specification must be kept in mind:
- If the interactive trace is not detailed or if it can be scaled to a point that makes it clearly a trace, it will be rejected.
- Although the interactive trace is only used as a background and not a main element (a wood background, for example), if it is bad, it will be rejected.
If the text in the design has any kind of mistake in spelling or misuse of language, will be rejected.
Language not allowed
We do not allow texts in any language apart from English. This will only be permitted in certain festivities where the use of the respective place's language would hold relevance.
The vectors that make reference to a past event (for example: Happy New year 2018!) will be rejected. If the festivity has already passed, but the vector does not include a date, it will be accepted. However, the ideal thing to do is to send the images within the recommended dates to optimize the profitability (two months before the actual date).
Similar Submissions
We will reject an image or images that hold too many similarities with previous uploads on the author's profile, or with other images proposed in the upload.
We will not consider an image to be different to another if the only modification was the position of an element, its color, or its size.
- Color changes: we will reject any color changes in designs that are easily modifiable, like in flat logos or in cards. However, if the color change implies also a change in design or is of a greater complexity, the color variants will be accepted (polygonal images, logos with gradients…)
- Recycled elements: we do not want images with a level of image recycling of the elements is high. We will only accept recycled elements to a reasonable limit, if you were to abuse certain elements, the images would be rejected.
- Elements separated vs in packs: if the same elements are sent separately and are also included in a pack, we will choose the pack.
If content that is already published or has already been rejected is sent in repeatedly we will consider it as an infraction.
A complete imitation of a vector or the reuse of elements from another author, no matter how small, will be considered plagiarism.
Designs that contain vector elements from designs already published on Freepik, both from the author and, especially, from others, will not be accepted.
Do Not Include Attribution
This is used when the contributor includes in his/her illustration the term "designed by Freepik" (or similar formulas).
Trademark and Other Legal Issues + Copyright Infringement
If the images contain assets that are copyrighted in other franchises, will not be allowed. For example, Adobe, Amazon, Nintendo… However, the use of social media icon is allowed.
Current characters and fictional characters will be rejected, due to image rights. For example, in the case of politicians, known superheroes, and Disney characters.
If they are historical characters, they may be selected, as with characters from ancient stories.
Ethical Policies
Designs containing political, violent, pornographic or those that we deem can be offensive or can affect the sensibilities of our users, will not be accepted.
Invalid Files
The .eps file or the previews contain errors that do not allow its complete or partial visualization.
Eps Has No Relation with The Preview
The .eps and the preview do not coincide completely (they are different images) or partially (they are the same illustration but with different elements, like in the color for example).
Elements Wrongly Placed on The Artboard
Elements have been left, forgotten outside of the artboard that are not part of the illustration: reference images, loose parts of the illustration, nodes that can generate a white boundary around the illustration.

Metadata not corrected by the designer
This message is sent so that the author can make the right corrections to the metadata (refering to the title and tags on the resources). The correction period is of 10 days; if this was exceeded, the resources will be rejected.
- The title should not be too long (60 characters max. approx.)
- I cannot contain numbers (i.e. Roll Up Banner 131)
- It must be well redacted coherently in English
- It's just a short descriptive phrase on the resource without full stops that could give way to alternative titles (i.e. Baby with a nipple. Close up of baby's hands with pacifier. Focus is on hands)
Example of incorrect titles:
"Portrait of a baby is being bathed by his father using tub at home. Soft tone. Bath time for a cute little new born baby"
Example of correct titles:
"Portrait of a baby being bathed by his father in a tub at home"
"Close up of baby's hands with pacifier" or "Baby with nipple"
They must be separated by commas.
None of the tags have a # before the word
Maximum we will allow two words in each tag. I.e. "Christmas background". A tag with more than word is incorrect as each word must be separated by a comma.
Example of an incorrect tag
Latin American and Hispanic Ethnicity (incorrect)
Latin American, Ethnicity (correct)
The following words will be discarded because they are on the vector design or because they give technical details that are not of interest: A4, A3 Eps10, horizontal, or vertical.
Reasons for Rejections
- Title too long
- Wrong title
- Title contains irrelevant information
- Title must be in proper English
- Title contains a date or numbers
- Tags have not relation with the image
- Tags are irrelevant
- Tags must be in English
- Tags range established: 5-50 tags
Title too long
Titles are rejected when they are too long. The maximum length of a title is of 100 characters.
I.e. "Avocado seamless pattern with polka dots. Whole avocados, sliced pieces, cut in half with seed sketch. Tropical summer fruit drawn by hand cartoon style background".
"Background for cute little boys. Transportation print. Doodle style seamless pattern on the theme of childhood with space ship, plane, helicopter and boat. Vector illustration for children's design".
Wrong title
When a title is wrong and does not make allusions to the designs. The titles have been rejected for containing unnecessary information, whether that is referencing the resource or it is of a technical nature (i.e. EPS10)
For example, those designs that have "Print" in the title or any other title that has nothing to do with the image of the resource.
Title contains irrelevant information
The titles are rejected for holding irrelevant information.
I.e. "Cake with polka dots seamless pattern illustration. Pastry and bakery background."
Title must be in proper English
The title must be properly redacted in English
Title contains a date or number
Those titles on photographs that have the date in which the image was taken. In the case of vectors, we will reject the title if the numbers are irrelevant to the design (i.e. Roll Up Banner 131).
Tags have no relation to the image
Tags that have no relation to what is in the design.
i.e. A design of a card with the tags: background, illustration.
Tags are irrelevant
A particular design has tags that are not important, although they are related to the design. You can do without them when the tags are present are more relevant and describe the design in question.
i.e. Describe all the chromatic range of the design or all of the elements of this that are not necessary.
Tags must be in English
All tags must be in English.
Tags range established: 5-50 tags
Each resource must have five tags minimum.

Bestselling author, Sherry Soule has put together four unknown facts about the YA Spellbound series. In this fun post, you can learn more about the intriguing, supernatural legends that makeup the eerie world of Whispering Pines. Read on to learn some things you didn't know...and really
don't need to. :-D
Fun Fact #1
Shadow People,
(also known as Shades) are usually vague human shapes, completely black
or dark in color, with no discernible facial features. Sometimes they appear as
mere silhouettes, generally lacking any characteristics of
However, there are many types of shadow beings; there are hooded shadows, cloaked ones, solid or wispy, and even smoky shapes. They dart into corners, through walls, into closets, or behind bushes, and buildings. Sometimes they simply fade into the dark recesses of the night. Lacking in the description is one common denominator unifying the many different types of Shadow People that enter our world—they are all thought to be "intensely dark."
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines paranormal as an adjective meaning "not scientifically explainable."
In the Spellbound books, Shadow People are ominous creatures that were once slaves of a band of fallen angels. When they rebelled, the Fallen hexed these creatures to spend eternity in a hell dimension. A few have found a way to slip through the gateway. The real worry is—what happens if they ALL escape?
Spooky, huh? So, do you believe in Shadow People?
Fun Fact #2
One of my inspirations for the über spooky town in my YA series was the video game, "Silent Hill." Readers of the Spellbound series have often wondered if the town had a real-life counterpart, and if there was a particular town that inspired the haunted area, we've come to know and fear in the books…
Actually, there have been many speculations, and now here's a place you can actually visit for REAL...
So, while researching the different elements of Whispering Pines and looking for a foggy and woodland area, I came across Marin County in California. The popular SF Bay Area tourist spot planted the seed for what developed into what we've come to know and love as, Whispering Pines. The coastal town is actually located in the Madrone Woodlands near Larkspur, California neighboring Muir Woods. (You need to use a Bing map to locate the region.)
Echoes of the tragic disappearances still plague the town. When the season passes and all the tourists leave, the haunting memory of past events once again shatter the peace of the inhabitants of Whispering
Have you ever been to the coastal towns of Marin County?
Fun Fact #3
Werewolves and Lycans (shortened form of the word lycanthrope, which means shape-changer) are two completely different species. The terms are definitely NOT synonymous. The werewolf can only transform on a full moon, and they represent more of witchcraft and curse, unlike the lycan who can transform into
a wolf at will. The lycan species are also considered shapeshifters, but can ONLY shift into wolves—not into other animals. Lycans are also capable of walking on their hindquarters, and are much more muscular than werewolves. Lycans and werewolves do share these qualities; they both have enhanced physical
attributes, enhanced strength, reflexes, coordination, speed, and regenerative abilities. However, these traits seem to apply to lycans, even when in human form.
Furthermore, lycans can retain their human intelligence and personalities while transformed, whereas werewolves become pure animal, devoid of any memory regarding their actions once they shift. Silver is the lycans only weakness, as they seem to be violently allergic to it.
In MOONLIGHT MAYHEM, (second book in the series), the story hinges on a terrible secret guarded by some of the town's residents as one-by-one teens are attacked by a mysterious creature.
Do you think it's a lycan or a werewolf stalking the kids in Whispering Pines?
Fun Fact #4
A Grimoire, or in some cases it's called a Book of Shadows (BoS), is used to store magical information, like a textbook of magic spells, rituals, supernatural-related data, and invocations. Some grimoires can even be a sort of magical journal that keeps a record of a witch's magical experiments and exploits.
Overall, a grimoire is used predominantly by Wiccans; however, this does not mean that those outside of Wicca can't use a grimoire. Nor do you have to be in a coven, like the Blood Rose Circle or Generation Hex.
I used the grimoire concept in a different way in my YA series about a teenage witch, where the magical book is used more like that of a diary and contains prophecies, a demon index, and spells, which was written by her ancestors and passed down through the generations.
Do you have a grimoire or personal journal?

Cultivating Connections That Count
May 1, 2012 Leave a comment
By Sabrina Risley
Did you know that…
- A person needs to hear from you at least 7 to 27 times before they decide to do business with you?
- The easiest way to bring profit to your bottom line is to STOP chasing after new clients?
It's true. In fact, most professionals give up in the "sales cycle" after the third or fourth "touch." The key to making your life easier, getting paid for the work you put in and feeling more fulfilled along the way, well it's all in your…RELATIONSHIPS. Anyone who knows me understands how much I value and place an emphasis on relationships. How you cultivate the relationships you currently have can greatly impact your success or failure in business. Making a slight shift in your mind set and coming from a place of service and giving, rather than of taking and getting, can have a profound impact on the growth of your business.
Consider these 5 factors which result when you cultivate relationships in business:
1. It's about being a giver. Growing your business is NOT ALL about getting a sale. It's also about connecting people to the resources they need and helping them to grow their business. Being a giver builds incredible trust and shows how much you really care about the people in your world.
2. It makes you stand out from the crowd. When you focus on relationships, your business has the opportunity to grow tenfold. Why? It makes you different, remarkable and memorable. And people do business with those they REMEMBER. People will remember you not only when they need your services but they will also become your raving fan. It's word-of-mouth marketing at its finest.
3. It builds your referral base. When you stay in touch with people on a consistent basis, those people will come to know, like and trust you. So even if they don't need your services, they will always remember you when someone else comes along who does. Staying in touch and creating an effective follow up system also gives you the open door to ASK for business when you want. When you don't stay in touch and call to ask for something, it just looks like you are a "taker" and nobody likes a taker.
4. It allows you to leverage your contacts. You've heard the saying, "No man is an island." The same goes for your business. Trying to do it all alone is difficult, challenging and tiresome. Leveraging your existing contacts is powerful, fun and profitable.
5. When you serve, you have more fun. Building a business doesn't have to be difficult, in fact it should be fun. When you come from a place of service and look for opportunities to connect and offer things back to others, you'll feel more gratified and have more fun in your business. And when you have more fun, your energy will attract more of the right people to your work—increasing your impact even more.
Consider what your business will be like when you wake up one day and your email is full of inquiries about your work, your voicemail is full with messages from potential clients and opportunities, and you've only got a few openings in your calendar to take on new clients. Ahhh, what bliss!
There are 3 things that you absolutely MUST know about cultivating connections that count & creating a relationship strategy that works in any economy and market:
• It's about service, not selling.
• It's a system, not rocket science.
• It's about building bridges, not burning them.
This month, Sabrina Risley, Founder and CEO of Behind The Moon, Inc. has partnered with Andrea Costantine, Community Engagement Strategist to offer a two-part tele-seminar series titled Cultivating Connections That Count, a program designed to help business owners and sales professionals uncover and implement the simple secrets to attracting more business through Relationship Marketing and the Power of Service. During the program, we will provide you with everything you need to create an effective service plan, set yourself apart in the market place, become remarkable, and create an army of raving fans and referrals! We are also including scripts, checklists, sample emails and loads of resources!
We have so much to share in these two 75 minute calls.

Does a new app from DG and Touch Press offer an insight into the future?
Those of us who believe in the future of recorded music – all of us reading this, I hope – may still ask ourselves what that future might look like. I mean no alarm: brilliant, inspiring and profound recordings in their hundreds pass through Gramophone's office every month, from musicians, instruments, labels, genres, eras and regions as diverse as the history of music itself. The desire among musicians to make a permanent artistic statement and reach ever-wider audiences is as strong as ever. Most such recordings still come, of course, on a compact disc, in a plastic case with a square booklet slipped inside. Which is fine: a CD can hold a superb sound file of as high a quality as most listeners need, and slot neatly onto a shelf. But it's no longer the only story – and, crucially, for a generation of young people already in their mid-to-late 20s, it's not even part of the story. So what, we might wonder, might a classical release look like in the near – never-mind far – future? What will a classical collection look like? What could it look like?
We already know that part of the answer is the download. Far from a new format, it's already leaving behind its early incarnations, as our audio editor Andrew Everard argues in his latest blog. Bandwidth speed and plummeting costs of data storage are fast making this the audiophile option. There's streaming too, of course: access to epic online libraries like those of Naxos or Spotify bring us obscure repertoire or comparison versions at the click of a button, for amazingly modest cost.
But before you think me charging off into an entirely virtual future, a part of it will still consist of – just as it has since the first gramophone records were issued – physical product. That may well include the traditional plastic-box CD container described above. But digital developments may also force physical to up its game, or rather play to its strengths. Those who already excel here include Alia Vox's beautifully produced early music releases, complete with many high-quality plates contextualising the concept. Or, from Decca, Cecilia Bartoli's imaginatively curated and presented projects, or the recent anniversary reissue of Solti's Ring Cycle.
But a newly released app from Deutsche Grammophon and Touch Press of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony embraces another tantalising possibility. At its heart are four recordings of the work: Ferenc Fricsay with the Berlin Philharmonic in 1958; Herbert von Karajan, again with the BPO, from 1962; Leonard Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonic in 1979 (a film); and Sir John Eliot Gardiner with his Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique from 1992. All can be listened to accompanied by a scrolling manuscript of the Jonathan Del Mar edition of the score; this can be viewed in its entirety, or as 'curated', jumping between the instruments most active and important at any given point. You can also follow the 1825 Royal Philharmonic Society manuscript held in the British library, which while it doesn't scroll, does move from page to page. Above the score is the key (or lack of), and you can choose between reading a commentary or, in the final movement, the libretto. Fascinatingly, you can jump, at any point, between the four recordings, instantly comparing tempi, approach and – in the case of Gardiner's period instrument ensemble – pitch. Putting a finger on the score allows you to scroll through the performance at will. Alternatively, you can listen to the recordings while watching the 'BeatMap', a diagrammatic aerial view of the orchestra, with spots representing musicians that pulse as they play. A third viewing option is to read more detailed passage-by-passage notes which, like the commentary, are written by David Owen Norris (who also offers an essay about the composer and the work).
How should we categorise an app such as this? Is it a recording? You can of course just listen to the four performances (through headphones that is – short of plugging an audio lead into the iPad I couldn't work out how to stream the app to my hi-fi). Is it an educational product? Is it both? Or more? This impressive product has in fact taken the technical possibilities of an app and worked upwards from there – as opposed to making a pre-conceived idea fit the format in retrospect. Touch Press has fine form here, having already produced a number of high-profile and high-end education and cultural apps, including an exploration of TS Eliot's The Waste Land and an insight into the orchestra. A forthcoming release will feature Stephen Hough playing Liszt's Piano Sonata, using the manuscript, multi-camera angles and most importantly Hough's erudition and thrilling pianism to bring us closer to another monumental milestone work.
But back to Beethoven. The app also contains a series of interview films with conductors including Gardiner and Gustavo Dudamel, musicians from the BPO, choral director Simon Halsey and others, in which they talk about their personal response to the music or delve into the detail of how to perform it. Finally, after all this in-depth insight into manuscript choices, pitch considerations and metronome markings, comes a remarkable excerpt of Bernstein talking about the symphony in 1979. He roots the symphony in philosophy and faith in a deeply personal, open-hearted manner that I simply can't imagine any of today's musicians matching.
Contrasting the hopes and prayers of prophets and poets with the 20th century world around him, Bernstein concludes: 'David, Isaiah, Aristophanes, Jesus, Schiller, Beethoven – how you must be suffering. Forgive me for getting carried away, I had meant to stick to the subject of dates and of Beethoven. But it is all one. Beethoven is struggle, the struggle for peace, for fulfilment of spirit, for serenity and triumphal joy. He achieved it in his music – not only in his Ninth but in all his symphonies, and in his quartets and piano sonatas, and trios and concertos. Somehow it must be possible for us to learn from his music by hearing it: no, not hearing but listening to it, with all our power of attention and concentration.'
There can surely be few better partners in such a journey than this new app.

Shadows settle on the place, that you left.
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness.
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time.
From the perfect start to the finish line.
We are the reckless,
We are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures
One day we'll reveal the truth
That one will die before he gets there.
And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone.
We're setting fire to our insides for fun.
Collecting pictures from the flood that wrecked our home,
It was a flood that wrecked this home.

We'll be washed and buried one day my girl
And the time we were given will be left for the world
The flesh that lived and loved will be eaten by plague
So let the memories be good for those who stay
And if your strife strikes at your sleep
Remember spring swaps snow for leaves
You'll be happy and wholesome again
When the city clears and sun ascends
And my head told my heart
"Let love grow"
But my heart told my head
"This time no"

In 5 years time
21 sierpnia 2010
Oh well in 5 years time, we could be walking round a zoo,
With the sun shining down over me and you,
And there'll be love in the bodies of the elephants too,
I'll put my hands over your eyes, but you'll peek through.
'Cos I'll be laughing at all your silly little jokes,
And we'll be laughing about how we used to smoke,
All of those stupid little cigarettes and drink stupid wine,
'Cos it's what we needed to have a good time.
But it was fun, fun, fun- when we were drinking,
It was fun, fun, fun- when we were drunk,
And it was fun, fun, fun- when we were laughing,
It was fun, fun, fun- Oh it was fun.
Oh well, I'll look at you and say:
It's the happiest that I've ever been.
And I'll say: I no longer feel I have to be James Dean.
And she'll say: Yeah well, I feel all pretty happy too, and I'm always pretty happy, when I'm just kicking back with you.
And it'll be love, love, love- all through our bodies,
And love, love, love- all through our minds,
And it'll be love, love, love- all over her face,
And love, love, love- all over mine.
And though nearly all these moments are just in my head,
I'll be thinking about them, as I'm lying in bed,
And I know that really it might not even come true,
But in my mind, I'm having a pretty good time with you.
Oh, in 5 years time- I might not know you,
In 5 years time- we might not speak,
In 5 years time- we might not get along,
In 5 years time- you might just prove me wrong.

Earlier tonight, the Lost in a Book "team" went to another great author event at Quail Ridge Books and Music, our favorite bookstore. It's a school night, so there isn't much time to write in detail about the joy of listening to author Jackie Woodson read from her books and talk about her work. But since I write for a living, I know all too well that a few words are usually much better than a flood, so I think "joy" sums up the night just fine. Listening to Woodson read her books was a joy; often she was speaking them – performing them, almost – from memory. It was music and poetry. It was a joy to see the overflow crowd, which included my girl's language arts teacher and her friends from the Quail Ridge Books middle school book club, which met an hour before to discuss "Brown Girl Dreaming," Woodson's latest, which is nominated for a National Book Award. And it was a joy to share the experience with my 85-year-old mom and my 13-year-old daughter and co-blogger – three generations of book lovers, listening to book love.
Learn more about Jackie Woodson and Brown Girl Dreaming. Read the News and Observer story about her visit to Quail Ridge Books.
Postscript: LitKid and her grandmother have both finished Brown Girl Dreaming; I'm next. LitKid will post her review soon.

by Tom Hamlin – MMAWeekly.com
With UFC 94 already in the books as another
gate-buster, UFC president Dana White had every reason to be thrilled at the
post-fight press conference. Exhaustion was his latest opponent.
"We've done like five fights in the last month,"
he said. "After you get done with a week like this… you just try to get through
it. I'll be back in mode again on Monday."
Apart from his staffers' projections, he knew the
fight would be successful after talking with other UFC fighters.
"This was a big fight because of who B.J. Penn
is, and because of who Georges St. Pierre is," White said. "They're both very
well respected by the fans, by other fighters. This was a big fight. You can
gauge how big a fight is and how exciting it is by how many fighters are pumped
up to see a fight. And every one of them couldn't wait to see this fight
The "Primetime" special featuring Penn and St.
Pierre proved to be a wise investment for the promotion, mirroring the success
of "24/7" as a vehicle to generate interest in a fight. Its $1.7 million
price tag will reserve it for three big fights a year, according to White, but
it will stay in the UFC's promoting arsenal.
"It was a good experience," he said. "Obviously,
me and B.J. got into a big fight during the show, but other than that, it was
St. Pierre's victory over Penn did much to cement
his legacy as one of the greatest fighters in the game today. Another super
fight opportunity lingers with Anderson Silva, but White says the French
Canadian still has some work to do before he takes the spot of the pound for
pound best.
"I still wouldn't call him pound for pound the
best in the world, but he's number two, no doubt about it," White said.
"Georges takes out Thiago Alves? He's on his way. I would say Georges St.
Pierre would be neck and neck with Anderson had he not lost to Matt Serra."
Penn was shuttled to a local hospital after the
fight and was unable to attend the press conference. He will soon defend his
lightweight title for the second time, against Kenny Florian. White said it was
unlikely Penn would move up in weight again in the near future.
"I don't think I'll have to encourage him to do
that," he said.
But he stressed that size wasn't at the root of
Penn's defeat. The Hawaiian was simply outgunned.
"Georges beat him tonight, period."

Thanks a lot. In my case I had a bind variable which had default value and that value was only used in query. I substituted the use of bind variable directly with the value and removed the bind variable.

Today's featured pattern is called "Gracie Lacy Capris", capris for girls in sizes 2[4, 6, 8]. I actually designed this pattern a few years ago, and it has been available as an individual pattern since then. However, it has been simplified, and tech-edited since then. It is the only pattern in this collection that is available singly. The single pattern is available on Ravlery, here. It is also available in my Etsy shop, on Craftsy, and on my website for $5. The e-book, Banana Moon Studio Book One: Girls, is available for $13.99 on Ravelry, Etsy, Craftsy, and my website.
These capris are made in Rowan Sienna (which comes in 22 different shades). This is a fingering weight mercerized cotton that has a really pretty shine to it and is very soft. It's really nice to crochet with! It is machine washable, of course, just like all the yarns I used in this collection. You'll need 5[6, 7, 8] skeins of the main color, and 1 skein of the secondary color. The finished fabric is a similar thickness to denim.
The pattern is worked from the top down, so you can make them as long or as short as you want. If you want shorts, or pants, that is doable! The waist is fitted by folding the top over to make a casing for elastic. My oldest, Drama Queen, has worn these capris for years now. She still wears them, but they fit her like bermuda shorts now. You can get a lot of wear out of these!
There is just one more pattern from the e-book to feature here on the blog. I'll post that feature on Thursday, and I will begin a giveaway for a free copy of the e-book as well! Until then…
Happy stitching!

In science we trust: Celebrating 20 years of Flemish commitment to building a sustainable ocean
On 14 and 15 May 2018, UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) and the Government of Flanders celebrated twenty years of cooperation on ocean matters by co-organizing a guided exhibition and seminars to highlight some of the achievements made possible through the UNESCO/Flanders Fund-in-Trust for the support of UNESCO's activities in the field of Science (FUST).
The FUST project portfolio recognizes the importance of strengthening collaboration between the Government of Flanders and UNESCO to achieve common global objectives, such as peace building, the eradication of poverty and sustainable development – objectives that are more relevant than ever today.
"For the first time in history, we are working together toward a global platform of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Belgium and Flanders are making major contributions toward SDG 14 on the ocean, and the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development will provide an opportunity for breakthrough in achieving the 2030 Agenda," said Vladimir Ryabinin, IOC Executive Secretary, in the opening speech to the event.
Johan Hanssens, Secretary-General of Flanders' Department of Economy, Science and Innovation (EWI), and Mark Andries, Chief of Cabinet of the Minister-President of Flanders, further highlighted the importance of ocean science and cooperation to achieve the SDGs, noting that the FUST project funding is a vessel for Flanders' engagement with the international community: "We have developed our ocean work around blue clusters where governments, companies and scientific institutions work together to develop sustainable solutions."
Taking place in Brussels, Belgium, the FUST Ocean event focused on five on-going key projects related to the ocean and coastal areas:
- OceanTeacher Global Academy (OTGA)
- Caribbean Marine Atlas (CMA)
- Development of Information Products and Services for Ocean Assessments (DIPS)
- Southeast Pacific Data and Information Network in support to Integrated Coastal Area Management (SPINCAM)
- Biosphere Reserves as a Tool for Coastal and Island Management in the South-East Pacific region (BRESEP)
"FUST has never been a traditional donor-recipient arrangement. It has always been based on honest collaboration between equal partners: Flanders, IOC-UNESCO and all the partner institutions, including both North-South and, increasingly, South-South cooperation," pointed out Peter Pissierssens, Head of the IOC Project Office for IODE in Oostende, Belgium, and IOC Capacity Development Coordinator.
The Permanent Commission for the South Pacific (CPPS), a long-time partner of the IOC, notably in the framework of the SPINCAM project, "has extended its partnership to cover a wide range of areas – from coastal management to ocean observations – where we can support governments at all levels in achieving the SDGs," added Ambassador Mentor Patricio Villagómez Merino, Secretary-General of the CPPs.
Over the course of two days, project representatives presented the most recent results and impacts, while also engaging with members of Flanders' academia and international cooperation sectors.
"It is a shame that FUST projects are not at the top of the minds of Flemish researchers. The interest is there to engage the international community, and we have the ambition of becoming truly international universities," said Prof Dr Peter Lievens, Vice-Rector of International Policy and LERU at KU Leuven.
Prof Ir Ann Peters, Director Research at Hasselt University, was followed up on this point, arguing that in order "to bridge the gap between Flemish universities and FUST projects, we need increased communication."
IOC initiatives such as the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030), OBIS and ocean literacy could help address these concerns.
In parallel to the FUST Ocean event, an exhibit featuring the projects' achievements was open to the public from 14 to 17 May to generate contacts between the Flemish scientific community and the FUST-funded projects, ensuring a virtuous circle of knowledge generation and international cooperation.
The projects' steering groups also met on 16 and 17 May to review progress and to discuss the way forward.
The general cooperation agreement Flanders signed in 1998 with UNESCO marked the very first time a regional government entered into a formal agreement of this kind with the organization. One year later, on 19 September 1999, UNESCO and Flanders' Department of Economy, Science and Innovation implemented the agreement by setting up the Flanders UNESCO Science Trust Fund (FUST) to support UNESCO activities in the field of water science through its International Hydrological Programme (IHP), Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB) and Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC).

2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Preview
- New compact crossover SUV
- Turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a CVT
- Standard Super All-Wheel Control all-wheel drive
- Introduces new infotainment, driver assistance, and collision avoidance technologies to the Mitsubishi lineup
- On sale in Europe in fall of 2017, other global markets thereafter
Here's something you might not know: Last year, Nissan purchased a controlling stake in Mitsubishi. Granted, the $2.3 billion investment came after the new 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross was already designed, engineered, and ready to roll down the assembly line, but this partnership is likely to give Mitsubishi the access to capital and talent that it desperately needs to remain viable.
Action came swiftly, too.
People don't buy cars anymore, so Mitsubishi has decided to stop selling the Lancer, a decision following two years of styling, equipment, and drivetrain upgrades. The Mirage remains in the product plan for now, but otherwise the company will rely upon the Outlander, the Outlander Sport, and the new 2018 Eclipse Cross to forge a path forward.
Exterior Features
Mitsubishi characterizes the 2018 Eclipse Cross as a coupe, which it is not. It is a 5-passenger compact crossover SUV equipped with four doors and a rear liftgate. Size-wise, it is smaller than the Outlander and a smidge bigger than the current Outlander Sport, which will shrink in the future.
Designed from the ground up to reflect Mitsubishi's new "Dynamic Shield" front styling, the Eclipse Cross adds something fresh in the form of a "Dynamic and Characteristic" rear design language. This is comprised of fastback rear glass, high-mounted taillights that bisect the rear glass, and what the company calls a cubist approach to the bodywork. Mitsubishi won't want to hear this, but from certain angles I see hints of the old Pontiac Aztek here.
Overall, the Eclipse Cross has a nose-heavy and angular appearance, with plenty of visual weight over the front axle and little over the rear wheels. It's like someone reversed the wedge-shaped SUV into a wall at 25 mph.
Note that the red paint covering the Eclipse Cross during its Geneva debut will be a production color.
Interior Features
Interior design is more conventional, featuring a clean and sporty appearance rendered in black with tasteful silver finishes.
Like so many automakers, the Eclipse Cross employs a freestanding infotainment display at the top of the center stack. It is operated using a touchpad and primary function buttons located on the center console or via the touch-sensing display screen. The arrangement is not unlike what you might find in a Lexus NX, but don't take that as a compliment to the approach.
The rear seat is a 60/40-split folding design that slides forward and back to adjust for rear leg room or cargo space, whichever might be desirable at a given time. Generally speaking, a 40/20/40-split design is better at maximizing passenger capacity with cargo-toting capability.
Optional Features
Mitsubishi didn't share much detail about its new SUV, but based on photography the Eclipse Cross will be available with leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a panoramic sunroof.
Under the Hood
A turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine is the only one planned for the U.S. market, and it is paired with a continuously variable transmission featuring eight programmed ratios and manual shift control in the Sport driving mode.
Standard equipment also includes an all-wheel-drive system, which could really help to set the Eclipse Cross apart as a value if the vehicle is priced aggressively. Called Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC), the system automatically sends power to the rear wheels when necessary and incorporates Active Yaw Control at the rear wheels to improve traction and handling.
Mitsubishi promises athletic handling from its new sport utility vehicle, providing detail about a 3-point front strut tower brace as proof that the Eclipse Cross will put a smile on its owner's face. The SUV also has a brake Auto Hold function, which could make it more enjoyable to drive in congested traffic.
Scant details about the Eclipse Cross contained no information about the vehicle's safety. However, inspection of photography shows what appear to be controls governing an adaptive cruise control system, a blind spot monitoring system, and a lane departure warning system. It is also reasonable to expect that this new Mitsubishi will be offered with a forward collision warning system and automatic emergency braking.
The Eclipse Cross introduces a new Smartphone Link Display Audio system for Mitsubishi. It provides text-messaging support, Siri compatibility, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone projection technology. Navigation is available, and Mitsubishi will almost certainly offer a premium sound system for the Eclipse Cross.
A head-up display is optional, and it works similar to Mazda's Active Driving Display system. Rather than project information on the Eclipse Cross's windshield, a panel rises from the top of the dashboard and the information is shown on it. Mitsubishi confirms that the display provides quick access to vehicle speed and information from the active safety systems.

From the producers of "Left Behind: The Movie," comes the new faith-based thriller, "Deceived," starring Judd Nelson, Louis Gosset Jr., Michelle Nolden, Stewart Bick, Deborah Odell, Jefferson Mappin, & Ramona Milano.
"Deceived" is an 'edge of your seat' thriller that tests the limits of faith. The film follows an eclectic mix of people trapped overnight in a space observatory while investigating a mysterious signal, which could be coming from outer space. Unknown to the group, the signal is affecting them subconsciously, bringing out the worst in each of them. There is no doubt of the signal's power, but a dark presence also surrounds it.
Sources at Cloud Ten Pictures say "Deceived is non Apocalyptic and unrelated to anything we've done before. It's fresh and new, and man is it good." Planned release date is in Spring of 2002.
