2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Crossover SUV Road Test and Review: Introduction
Here it is, Mitsubishi's moon shot. That might sound overly dramatic, but if the redesigned 2014 Outlander doesn't make a dent in the compact crossover suv segment, where it competes against at least a dozen established players from America, Asia, and Europe, it is not beyond comprehension that after three star-crossed decades in the U.S. market, Mitsubishi could call it quits and pull up stakes just like Suzuki did last year.
Therefore, the new 2014 Outlander has a big job to do. First, it needs to establish Mitsubishi as the builder of something other than the legendary Lancer Evolution and the strange egg-shaped electric car with the name nobody can remember. Second, it is the platform that the automaker is using to introduce its new plug-in hybrid powertrain, a lifeline to whatever Mitsubishi's future might be. Third, it needs to give compact crossover SUV buyers a really good reason to take a pass on the competition, especially considering Mitsubishi's shrunken dealer network.
Right now, things are looking good for the Outlander, and not just because it comes with a terrific warranty. This SUV is affordable, it puts up impressive EPA fuel economy numbers, it gets a fantastic crash-test rating, and except for the redesigned 2014 Nissan Rogue, it's the only model in its class that offers a third-row seat. Plus, that plug-in hybrid version is right around the corner, a compact crossover SUV exclusive, just like its available V-6 engine.
To find out if the new Outlander is as good in person as it is on paper, I borrowed one for a week, and Mitsubishi sent over a loaded GT model with a V-6 engine, Super All-Wheel Control (AWC), and a window sticker reading an improbable $34,720.
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Crossover SUV Road Test and Review: Models and Prices
Mitsubishi sells the new 2014 Outlander in ES ($23,820 – including the $825 destination charge), SE ($24,620), and GT ($28,620) trim levels. The Outlander ES is offered only with a 4-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. The Outlander GT is available only with a V-6 engine and Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) all-wheel drive. In between, the Outlander SE is available with a 4-cylinder engine and a choice between front-wheel drive or S-AWC.
Because the Outlander SE costs just $800 more than the Outlander ES, and includes far more than that amount of money in added value, its my pick for the best of the bunch. In addition to ES equipment, the SE gets Bluetooth, attractive 18-inch aluminum wheels, fog lights, nicer interior trim, and heated front seats. Dual-zone automatic climate control is also included for this model, as well as Fast Key passive entry with push-button starting, a 6.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a USB port, and a reversing camera.
While this represents good value, keep in mind that the S-AWC system adds another two grand to the window sticker, so you'd really better be incapable of driving in the snow in order to justify the extra expense.
My test vehicle is the Outlander GT, which includes the S-AWC system and a V-6 engine, plus a 6-speed Sportronic automatic transmission with paddle shifters, and HID headlights providing what Mitsubishi calls a "super wide beam."
Options for all Outlander models include a Navigation Package, an Entertainment Package, rear parking assist sensors, towing equipment, cargo solutions, remote engine starting, LED cabin lighting, roof rack crossbars, and more. Additionally, the ES can be fitted with Bluetooth and fog lights, while the Outlander SE and GT are available with a Premium Package (leather seats, power driver's seat, power sunroof, premium sound system, power tailgate) and a Touring Package (Premium Package plus automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, navigation system, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Mitigation System).
My Outlander GT had the Touring Package, explaining how its price tag ballooned to nearly $35,000.
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Crossover SUV Road Test and Review: Design
What's New:
- Reduced aerodynamic drag
- Lighter by 200 pounds
- Improved interior materials
Do you like the way the new Outlander looks? This is supposed to be the direction Mitsubishi is taking with future models, though the new 2014 Mirage mini-car doesn't have the Outlander's scowling front end, new grille panel design, or the character lines sweeping down from the headlights into the lower air intake.
From the front wheels back, the Outlander is fairly conventional and conservative in appearance, which isn't a bad thing. Clear lens taillights add a little bit of character, and I really like the 18-inch aluminum wheels that are standard on the SE and GT models.
In photos, the Outlander's cabin looks plain and dated, but in reality Mitsubishi does a lot of things right with this SUV's interior, and it looks convincingly upscale with the optional leather upholstery. Still, the headliner looks and feels cheap in contrast to pleasing tones and textures elsewhere, and the fake wood that comes standard in the GT model really ought to be replaced by fake aluminum.
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Crossover SUV Road Test and Review: Comfort and Cargo
What's New:
- Additional sound insulation for quieter cabin
- Seats easier to fold for maximum cargo space
Comfort isn't a problem when it comes to the 2014 Outlander, unless you're crammed into the third-row seat. Then everyone except for the driver and front passenger gets grumpy.
My Outlander GT's front seats were reasonably comfortable and supportive, and the fat-rimmed tilt/telescopic steering wheel proved pleasing to grip. Thankfully, Mitsubishi softly pads the areas where the driver is likely to rest his or her elbows. Still, I'd like another inch or two of rearward travel for the driver's seat, and taller people might reject the Outlander for cramping their legs.
The Outlander's second-row seat is more comfortable than its front seats. When they're moved all the way back in their track, there's plenty of legroom and a massive amount of foot room. Plus, the cushions sit up nice and high, and the backrests recline for greater comfort.
The third-row seat is torturous for adults. Even if the second-row is moved forward so that passengers' legs are flush against the soft front seat backs, there isn't enough space in the third-row seat for grown-ups. Therefore, this area is for kids only, and if you've got a couple of child safety seats installed in the second-row seat, good luck loading anyone into it.
Unfortunately that occasional-use, kids-only, third-row seat chews up space that could be used for cargo. When it is folded down – as it likely will be the majority of the time – the Outlander provides a competitive 34.2 cu.-ft. of cargo space, about the same as the Ford Escape but a little less than the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Imagine what that number could be if Mitsubishi jettisoned the third-row seat.
When the third-row seat is raised, it leaves a scant 10.3 cu.-ft. of cargo space in a narrow space between the seat and the tailgate, which means that you can carry extra people or extra cargo, but not both. Fold both rows of seats down, and maximum cargo space measures 63.3 cu.-ft., significantly less than the segment leaders.
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Crossover SUV Road Test and Review: Features and Controls
What's New:
- Added standard equipment
- Optional next-generation navigation system
- New safety technology options
It doesn't take long to figure out how the new Outlander works. The controls look, feel, and operate with greater refinement and practicality than might be expected, and for the most part this SUV is logically laid out, but there are some faults and quirks.
For example, the navigation system looks and operates like an aftermarket unit, working at a seemingly glacial pace and occasionally suffering what might best be described as wiring schizophrenia. Additionally, though I drove a well-equipped version of the Outlander, the interior was littered with "blanks," the fake buttons that fill the spaces where missing equipment might otherwise be located. Also note that the stability control system's "off" button is located right next to the trip computer button, which seems a little bit dangerous to me.
One cool aspect of the Outlander GT is that it gets paddle shifters that are mounted to the steering column rather than the steering wheel, making them perfect for enthusiast drivers who like to shuffle steer. Yeah, like that's gonna happen in an Outlander.
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Crossover SUV Road Test and Review: Safety and Ratings
What's New:
- Optional Lane Departure Warning system
- Optional Adaptive Cruise Control system
- Optional Forward Collision Mitigation system
In addition to a driver's knee airbag, the new Outlander is available with a Lane Departure Warning system and an Adaptive Cruise Control system with Forward Collision Mitigation technology. The latter feature can be calibrated for different driving situations, like stopping and going and traffic as compared to driving on the freeway. These are useful features, but are only available in the expensive Touring Package option for the SE and GT models.
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Crash-Test Ratings:
Though the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has not performed crash tests on the new Outlander, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has subjected the SUV to its rounds of testing, and the result is a "Top Safety Pick Plus" rating.
As this review is written, that makes the Outlander one of three compact SUVs to achieve that rating, and it also means that this Mitsubishi is perfect for serving family shuttle duties.
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Crossover SUV Road Test and Review: Engines and Fuel Economy
What's New:
- Improved powertrains
- Driver-activated Eco driving mode
- New electric steering system
- New, lighter version of Super All-Wheel Control AWD
- Super All-Wheel Control offered with 4-cylinder engine
- Plug-in Hybrid version arriving in 2014
The Outlander ES and SE have a standard 2.4-liter 4-cylinder making 166 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 162 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,200 rpm, and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) feeds this power to the front wheels. The SE model is available with Mitsubishi's Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) all-wheel-drive system, which offers Eco, Normal, Snow, and Lock driving modes.
The Outlander GT is equipped with standard S-AWC and a 3.0-liter V-6 making 224 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 215 lb.-ft. torque at 3,750 rpm while burning premium unleaded fuel. The V-6 bumps towing capacity from 1,500 lbs. to 3,500 lbs.
As might be expected, the 4-cylinder engine is rated to return the best fuel economy, with the EPA saying it will get 27 mpg in combined driving with front-wheel drive, and 26 mpg with S-AWC. The Outlander GT's V-6 returns 23 mpg in combined driving, and based on my testing, that's an optimistic figure. I got 19.5 mpg, and used the Eco driving mode for at least half of the miles covered.
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Crossover SUV Road Test and Review: Driving Impressions
Around town, the Outlander's refined suspension tuning, impressive roll control, surprisingly communicative steering, and easily modulated brakes make the Outlander feel more nimble than many compact crossovers. But there's no getting around it. The Outlander GT's V-6 lacks gusto unless you turn off the Eco Mode and rev it up. In that scenario, this SUV accelerates with satisfying strength, and convinces that it can tow 3,500 lbs. Trouble is, when you drive like that, fuel economy takes a crippling nose dive, and this V-6 requires premium fuel.
As a result, you're likely to keep the Outlander GT's Eco Mode engaged. That means the transmission upshifts early. The air conditioning doesn't blow as strong or as cold. And the Outlander is an utter bore to drive, feeling sluggish and lethargic as the powertrain attempts to deliver the best fuel economy.
That's why most people will probably want to reserve the Eco Mode for highway driving, where in my experience the Outlander can put up numbers that close in on 25 mpg. However, on the highway, the Outlander's suspension allows some pitch, rock, and roll at the same time that it clearly communicates sharper impacts and pavement textures. Combine these traits with straight-line steering quality that feels light and loose right on center as well as heavy and wooden right off center, and the Outlander doesn't feel like something you want to drive very fast or very far on the freeway.
Take the Outlander GT on a twisty mountain road, and it's easy to spot hints of the Lancer Ralliart and Evolution in this crossover SUV. The steering, suspension, and brakes combine to deliver a more entertaining performance than most crossovers, and the GT model's long, slender, fixed-position paddle shifters are terrific, too. Too bad they issue commands to a lackluster powertrain, which means the Outlander is better when going downhill than when going uphill.
All that's really missing from the Outlander GT's recipe is a decent turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, or a stronger V-6, maybe one that doesn't gorge itself on premium gas when the driver uses the motor for its intended purpose.
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Crossover SUV Road Test and Review: Final Thoughts
While imperfect, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander has several things going for it. It is very safe, boasting a Top Safety Pick Plus crash-test rating. It offers a long and comprehensive warranty. It delivers impressive value if you can resist checking option boxes. It offers the only V-6 engine option in its class, and soon will offer the only plug-in hybrid option. Some people might even find the third-row seat to be a benefit.
Unfortunately, it seems as though there is a negative for every positive. The optional V-6 engine is thirsty and requires premium unleaded. The price tag rises to alarming heights when helping yourself to the options menu. Mitsubishi's dealer network is downright skeletal, making it hard to get service and warranty work performed. The Outlander's third-row seat results in less cargo volume than key competitors.
So what's the verdict? Let's call the new Outlander a big step for Mitsubishi in the right direction, and acknowledge that it remains a work in progress.
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Crossover SUV Road Test and Review: Pros and Cons
- "Top Safety Pick Plus" crash-test rating
- Long warranty and roadside assistance plans
- Entertaining to drive when thrashed
- Comfortable front and second-row seats
- Useful safety technologies
- Plug-in hybrid model soon to debut
- Needs more accessible power
- V-6 engine's thirst for premium
- Unsettled highway ride
- Compromised cargo space
- Third-row seat unfit for adults
- Adding options makes for poor value

[quote=galop]gayyyyyyyyyyyyy (only teenage girls will say he's not)[/quote]
You are as wrong as you can be. Rob is not typical macho, bragging and full of himself but he is very masculine. Even Twi director said that he had to be watched from the waist up as the guy is very passionate. I'm a married women with teens and have listened to him, watched his interviews and listened to what his cast and former colleagues say about him. Rob is a mannerly, polite, thoughtful and romantic guy. He is not gay. He hangs with guys that are married and have girlfriends. He hangs with Tom who he has known since 12 or so. This guy is smart, handsome, talented, kind and could be a real ladies man if he could let loose. The only gay person in Twilight is Kristen Stewart. She dated Nikki and now Scout and came out at Sundance Film Fests. The lies about Rob started when the truth about Kristen came out. Google "Is Kristen Stewart gay" and look for her interview on You Tube "Kristen Stewart -kissing Dakota Fanning was cool" Watch the tail end. Rob is a really sweet guy but is not gay. He'll be married soon.

When I first met my wife Cole and her little boy, whom I nicknamed "The Littlest Buddy" (LB), Cole had been searching for a diagnosis for her son for over three years. She was looking for an explanation of his developmental delays, and wanting badly to know what his future might look like.
As LB grew, his delays became more and more obvious. Cole took him to many specialists over the years, while she had him going regularly to physical, speech and occupational therapy -- but beyond guesses, nobody had a clear idea for a diagnosis.
I met The Littlest Buddy when he was 3 years old -- adorable, painfully quiet, sweet-hearted, so tiny for his age. I fell in love with this boy just as quickly as I fell for his mother, and we became a family officially in 2008. All of his hard work in therapy continued, but the list of delays grew, and they became more obvious as he got older: low muscle tone, gross and fine motor issues, severely delayed speech, self-injurious behaviors, sleep issues. Finally, one of his doctors ordered up a FISH test (designed to locate specific sequences in DNA), and the results told us that The Littlest Buddy had a deletion in chromosome 17 -- the cause of a rare disorder known as Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS).
My wife was at work when the doctor called and gave her the diagnosis. The doctor apologized and said she wasn't actually sure how to pronounce the syndrome's name. Millions of questions flooded in, but the doctor said that she had never heard of the disease. She read Cole the clinical description of the syndrome that she had on hand. (Story continues below the slide show of Marshall's photos of LB.)
Watching the front door for surprises, unexpected guests send LB into tantrums. We have a strict no pop-in policy at our house. #lifewithsms
He has a reversed circadian rhythm, so he produces all his melatonin during the day, and as night falls becomes more awake. #lifewithsms
Every time the washing machine cycles, he drops what he was doing and goes to check on it. He has been known to watch entire spin cycles. #lifewithsms
When he takes time to self-organize, to process anything overwhelming or anything that creates anxiety, he flips books across his lips, over an over again. This is commonly called "lick and flip" in the SMS community. #lifewithsms
He has memorized every inch of all three "Toy Story" movies and acts out his favorite scenes while the movies play. His all-time favorite scene to mimic is Ken giving Barbie a fashion show. He is more fun to watch than the films. #lifewithsms
When unfamiliar guests come over, he will spend most of his time hiding out in the other room, and occasionally you can see him peeking around the corner. He prefers the company of adults, but does have a weakness for girls with great hair. #lifewithsms
I met LB when he was 3, and the only word he knew besides "mama" and "dada" was "apple." He said it for 6 months straight, for everything. One of the first words he said to me was "robot," when he was 4. He is going to be 8 this summer and still has severe delays. He still says "robot" like a champ. #lifewithSMS
No matter how hard of a day he has, a bath always calms him down. He would live in water if he could. #lifewithsms
As much as SMS causes severe behavioral issues, cognitive deficits, and self-injurious behavior... At the same time people with SMS are know for their charm, sweetness, and empathy. LB never goes long without requesting some snuggles from his mom. #lifewithsms
He hates walking on grass. He hates it. Like walking on fire. We work through sensory issues daily. #lifewithsms
He always manages to drift to the corners of playgrounds; he never feels excluded since he is doing the excluding. Today he found a frog hopping around and sat down to watch it. #lifewithsms
If he thinks there is a surprise coming, he covers his ears. It's also a great warning signal for us that he is getting anxious or overwhelmed. Comes in handy. #lifewithsms
It's extremely rare that he sleeps past 5:30 am, so most mornings he keeps himself entertained with his iPod Touch on one end of the couch, while Cole or I will try and catch another hour of sleep on the other end. He loves his morning rituals -- oatmeal and milk, Blue's Clues -- and he goes over the day's activities over and over and over again. #lifewithsms
Short stature is a sign and symptom of Smith-Magenis Syndrome. LB is going to be 8 years old this summer, and still weighs 35 lbs. #lifewithSMS
None of The Littlest Buddy's doctors had ever heard of SMS. We found a geneticist for him, but she had never worked with anyone with SMS before either (at least she had familiarized herself with case studies, and had good knowledge of the syndrome). It was beyond frustrating to know so little about SMS. We quickly began our own research, and compiled as many case studies as we could find. We put all the information into a book that we carried with us to appointments so that his doctors would have something to look at to explain SMS.
During this research we found a small community of parents at a site called PRISMS (Parents and Researchers Interested in Smith-Magenis Syndrome). We quickly noticed that Dr. Ann Smith, the very geneticist who had had a hand in discovering the chromosomal deletion (and has dedicated her life to researching SMS), was a part of this community. She regularly makes herself available to parents for support and answers. An incredible opportunity.
It has been estimated that Smith-Magenis Syndrome affects 1 out of 25,000 children. It is also believed that SMS is under-diagnosed. The more awareness of SMS increases, the more the number of people who can be identified will grow.
Cole and I made it a goal to start to raise awareness about the syndrome. We made the decision to use my blog, Pacing the Panic Room, where I had been documenting the building of my family, to help educate my readership about SMS. We had no idea who was reading, whom it might influence. Behavioral aides, special educators... the more people who knew about SMS, the more understanding there might be for LB.
I had been using Instagram, and really enjoyed the idea that people could essentially micro-blog their lives through photos and short captions, and so I thought it might be interesting for people to actually see what life with SMS looks like. I created the hashtag #lifewithsms, and started to document some of the characteristics of SMS that we see every day. There is a strange comfort in knowing that more people are learning about it; we imagine possibilities like some curious grad student looking to specialize who might become so intrigued that they decide to focus their heart and their studies on Smith-Magenis Syndrome. The more case studies we have, the more information parents can use if their child is diagnosed. Parents want to know what their child's future might look like. Right now, with SMS, it's not very clear.

I love this brush. Of all the Real Techniques brushes I own, this is by far my favorite and most used.
The quality is great for the price. Sturdy handle (with a flat bottom so you can stand it up), nice bristles. A few bristles did fall out the very first time I used it, but none since. Picks up the perfect amount of liquid product,
I got it solely for liquid foundation, but now use it for pretty much my entire face (powder blush/bronzer and liquid highlighter). Would work great with cream makeup too.
So glad I tried this brush before dropping more cash on a pricier brand.

I picked this up at ulta B1G1 half off and am obsessed!! It's the only face brush you need, seriously! It blends foundation like a dream, evenly distributes bronzer, and is perfect for a dusting of blush on my cheekbones. I wish that I bought 2 of these because I'm blown away by the high quality, but I bought the last one:( I see a return trip to ulta in my near future to buy another! The bristles are soft, yet firm and the handle is sturdy, it even stands upright on a flat surface. Get this now!! My skin has never looked so immaculate and no tell-tale makeup smears in sight. I recommend using a stippling motion starting from the inside of your face then make your way to outer corners, chin, and neck. The result is an even, airbrushed finish! Sam offers how to vids on YT that are super helpful to check out!

I've had this brush for a few days now, bought it on Amazon on a whim to fill a $25 order.
It wasn't what I expected at all. I was thinking it was going to be a larger brush, like the ELF stippling brush or MAC's. So I was initially disappointed, but thought, well, I bought it, why not give it a try?
I use this with my Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. I put a little foundation on the back of my hand, then dip the brush in it and stipple away. I know in her videos she shows using it in a buffing motion but that didn't work for me. So I just stipple all over my face, going over it a couple times, usually picking up any left over make up on my hand to buff into problem areas (I have rosacea and the occasional acne outbreak, plus a nose with more black heads than there are people on the planet).
What amazed me the most after using this brush is that when I was finally done, not only did I have a beautifully blended face, but the white stippling bristles were actually white again. It didn't soak up any of my foundation at all! That's pretty amazing in my book. I then turn around and will use it to put on my translucent powder (Currently using ELF High Definition powder).
Overall, I'm pleased with it's performance so far. I could see this being awesome for applying cream blushes, highlights, or contouring small areas of the face.

I won't repurchase because I think this will last me for many years but at the same time it also makes makeup streaky cause the bristle is the hardest compared to the rest. I am sure they are better stippling brushes out there but this should be the cheapest & better quality compared to the rest.
Dries fast after cleaning.
Use this everyday for stippling mineral foundation to get a more airbrushed look. But on other type of foundation this will streak your makeup like crazy. Lightly does it.
However, I don't think I need this brush at all cause I've stopped having bad skin and use very light makeup.
Pixiwoo really knows how to make brushes!
EDIT 27th March 2013: Oh my! Shed like crazy! And only 1 month into using it. I think I've lost 1/3 of the hair. What is this!?!?

I'm so happy with this brush. I first purchased this to use for blush, I liked it but eventually branched out to use the RT blush brush instead which I prefer. I now use this for my everyday foundation and I absolutely love it. I never used brushes for my foundation before this. I tried brushes, but never liked the finish they gave me enough to use them instead of my hands. I'm so glad, because brushes are so much cleaner. I love how the RT brushes are dark, but have white tips so you can tell when they're dirty. This is a good all around brush, it can be used for so much, blush, highlighter, foundation. I even use this for concealer after I've stippled in my foundation. I use it to push the product in to my skin and absolutely love it. I recently purchased the expert face brush, so I'll see how I get on with that one. It's supposed to give a fuller coverage than this one, so I'm hoping that will be my fancy brush and this one will be my everyday brush :) I'm hoping I'll never have to buy another one of these, and that it'll last me forever. But if anything is to happen to this brush I will have to repurchase it.

Up until recently I had been using the Eco Tools stippling brush, and in the interests of expanding my brush horizons, I gave into the Youtube hype and got this one.
I really wanted to like this, but it ended up being a miss, such a disappointment as I'd heard so many good things about it.
The tips of the bristles are really pointy and spiky, making foundation stippling almost painful, and the application is just streaky and weird.
I found it was better for blush and highlighter, so it wasn't a total dud, but I was really hoping to use it for liquid foundation (as per its intended purpose).
I'm giving 3 lippies to account for the fact that it might have just been a bad one, but honestly, I highly doubt I'd repurcahse.

this is the best stippling brush i've ever used. i had been looking for a brush like this or a while, all the other stippling brushed i've come across are either too large or too small (like the mac 187 and 188), but this one is PERFECT. i've recently got into using a lot of cream blushes and this is the best brush by far to apply them with. i have 5, one for every color blush. great quality and super affordable. blends my blush just right. not one complaint over here.

This brush is excellent for applying tinted moisturizer (for foundation, I prefer the Expert Face brush). I stipple it on, buff, then re-stipple dark spots. It takes very little time, and the result is flawless coverage. I tested this brush on one side of my face and used the MAC 187 on the other, and it wasn't even close--the RT brush was so much easier to use and more effective. I paid only $1 for this brush at Ulta (sale plus coupon plus points), but it would be a great value even at its full price. Not only would I buy again, I already did.

Further interests include the language of videogames and gaming; language ideologies in the (new) media and studying learner language using corpus-based discourse analysis. She convenes Bangor University's Digital Economies Cluster and is Principal Investigator of the Journal of Gaming and Virtual Worlds.
Prof Ensslin is Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and was awarded the First Prize in the University of Leeds Faculty of Arts Teaching Development Prizes in 2004. She teaches in the following areas:

Astrid's research combines language, literature and media studies and spans the disciplines of Digital Humanities, discourse analysis, stylistics, narratology, digital media studies and applied linguistics. For a full list of all my research-related activities, go to Astrid's personal website.
AHRC-funded large grant project on 'Reading Digital Fiction' (approx. £240,000; since January 2014): This project, which is led by Alice Bell (PI, Sheffield Hallam) and Astrid Ensslin (CI), has two core aims. Primarily, it aims to introduce more readers to digital fiction. To achieve that aim, the project team are organising various public events including workshops, exhibitions, and a writing competition to introduce people to this exciting new form of literature. Secondly, as cognitive stylisticians, the researchers are interested in how readers process particular linguistic and multimodal features within digital fiction. The project therefore involves several reader-response studies to collect data from readers in order to understand how digital literary reading works cognitively.
British Council funded UK-US-India Education and Research Initiative grant, 'Computer Gaming Across Cultures' (approx. £50,000; since May 2013): This project is a trilateral collaboration between West Virginia University (Prof Sandy Baldwin), Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi (Prof Saugata Bhaduri) and Bangor University (Astrid Ensslin). Its aim is to research massive multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) as objects and tools of study. MMORPGs offer large-scale collaboration across geographies and cultures. MMORPGs also allow us to problematize such transgeographic and transcultural "environments." The project is driven by questions such as how we can teach with/about computer games, and what are the appropriate games to use; how we can create a computer game studies methodology and curriculum that is aware of and even focused on cultural differences; and how we can develop models for linking humanities research in computer gaming with other disciplines and sectors in all three countries.
Welsh Crucible funded small grant, 'Transformative thinking: Using digital fiction as a tool for improving body image' (approx. £9,000; 2012-1013): This project is an interdisciplinary venture between Dr Sarah Riley (Psychology, Aberystwyth), Prof Astrid Ensslin, Dr Joan Haran (gender studies & literature, Cardiff) and Dr Yi Gong (social geography, Cardiff). The main aim was to find out whether reading digital fiction as part of a 'transformative reading' workshop might help young women think more positively about themselves and their bodies. The team are currently expanding the project into the areas of writing, art and cybertherapy.
Literary Gaming: For her monograph, Literary Gaming (MIT Press, 2014), Astrid Ensslin developed a new type of criticism called Functional Ludostylistics. The analytical part of the book showcases close-play studies of literary games and ludic digital literature, and she is currently testing her methodology using further ludoliterary digital media.
Prof Ensslin's publications fall largely within two areas of Digital Humanities, with various intersections:

The bridge structure is an interesting subject, Joe, but I'm not sure that the use of HDR has helped this image. I would like to see the original.
Your use of negative exposure compensation has prevented any burnout in the water.
I'm not a fan of milky water, but feel that this has been taken a bit too far, so that the water no longer looks real. You were obviously drawn to this scene because the water was so strong after the heavy rain, but the drama of the water has been lost with the "smoothing" of its rush.
I think there may be some detail to be recovered in the sky, which is a bit pale, perhaps just with the use of the burn tool.
The composition may benefit from having a bit more of the left bank within the frame, and a little more of an angle on the bridge.
Your very bold "Adrenalin Addict" logo is spoiling the image for me because my eye keeps settling upon it.
I apologise for being so negative, Joe.
Nominating Constructive Critique
I've almost stopped commenting on logos, but in this case I'll make an exception. You logo completely destroys this image. If you must use a logo, small and discrete.
Not a bad scene, but milky water is not my thing and I think the HDR has compressed the tonal range rather too much giving a heavy flat look.
Nominating Constructive Critique
uploaded a modification..... please check it out
Nominating Constructive Critique
Thankyou for uploading the original, Joe (I assume that is what it is).
I prefer it in colour, and think it's a good image that only needs a few tweaks......and no logo.
I have done a modification using that one and am pleased to say that it was possible to bring out some detail in the water flow.
There is also a slight tinge of pink, so it may have been taken just before sunset.
I adjusted highlights, shadows, brightness and colour, then gave it a levels adjustment and used the burn tool on the foreground water.
Nominating Constructive Critique
wow, that looks really nice. Yes it was just taken before sunset.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Hi Joe, - I took a look at the original. I believe this has an incorrect white balance setting, and the image should be more like the mod Ive uploaded, which is much less blue. Also removed that person on the left edge.
Take a look and let me know what you think.

Student Ratings of Instruction
Instructional assessment is not a one-size fits all approach. Our SRI system is responsive to the dynamic landscape of higher education. Through our research-supported approach to continuous improvement the SRI is adaptable to individual faculty and administrative needs. We therefore offer multiple assessment tools.
Diagnostic Feedback
Diagnostic Feedback (DF) provides both summative and formative feedback about average student progress on relevant course objectives, instructor teaching methods, and overall impressions of the instructor and course. The individual course report controls for extraneous factors (e.g., student work habits and motivation) beyond the instructor's control, and reports converted and comparative scores. This is the instrument of choice for a comprehensive assessment of teaching effectiveness.
Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes (LO) provides summative feedback about average student progress on relevant learning objectives and overall impressions of the instructor and course. No diagnostic (formative) feedback is provided. This instrument is appropriate for courses exclusively interested in assessment of learning outcomes (e.g. individualized learning, practicums, labs, performance, etc.). The LO also controls for extraneous factors beyond the instructor's control and reports converted and comparative scores.
Teaching Essentials
Teaching Essentials (TE) provides formative feedback about teaching methods highly correlated with instructor and course excellence. No information is collected about student ratings of progress on course objectives. The individual course report controls for extraneous factors beyond the instructor's control and reports converted and comparative scores on excellence of the instructor and the course. Those who wish to obtain feedback about how to improve teaching but not about student progress on relevant course objectives should select TE.
Feedback gathers immediate student responses after each class or unit, weekly, or selectively as desired, so faculty can see the impact of changes they have made in their class. Feedback is based on the research of the Teaching Essentials instrument. The Feedback Report is sent directly and solely to the faculty so it can be used for immediate development, changes, course adjustments, and longitudinal tracking throughout the course.
FIF Completion Document
The Faculty Information Form (FIF) is an essential part of the IDEA Student Ratings of Instruction System. This document will introduce the purpose of the FIF, how to select Learning Objectives, and why your selection of objectives is important.

Iman al-Obeidi, the Libyan woman who escaped the house where she says she was repeatedly raped by Gadhafi's thugs, then burst into a Tripoli hotel to share her story with reporters, has now committed another courageous act. Last week, she fled from Libya to Tunisia with the help of a defecting military officer.
European diplomats met her at the border and are supporting her while she decides what to do next. Details about her location haven't been released because she's still afraid that she's being followed by the Libyan government. She told CNN, "I still do not know what I am going to do. Of course I'd like to see my family."
Obeidi's parents learned from news reports that she's fled the country. Her father, Atiq al-Obeidi, said they were afraid Gadhafi's forces "would do the worst to her, given his past." He said he and his wife are both thankful that she was able to safely leave the country. "I am extremely delighted, and I will be looking forward to more information about how she was able to escape," he said.

We don't know. They might. It depends.
The obvious example is copy protection. The MPAA is under this hilarious delusion that they can protect the bits all the way from the DVD to the screen. Part of that is setting up HDCP on the video cable. ATI probably can't tell us how that works, because if they did, we could just turn it off, and then OMG PIRACY. So what will likely happen there is the driver will just not do HDCP normally, and if you want to sell a fully licensed DVD player that runs linux, you'll just add that as a plugin.
You can either do this by maintaining the hooks in the open code, or by maintaining your own internal branch of the code that you only give to people who pay for it (ie, people building an appliance). Or maintain that in fglrx, I suppose. And, yeah, if the open source community decides they don't want that kind of closed hook in the open code, there's not a lot AMD can do about that, so option 1 might not be an option at all.
Again, the intention here is not to cripple the open drivers, or to require some magic closed blob to make things 30% faster. That doesn't help anyone, AMD included. They really do want to enable as much as they can in the open drivers to make their hardware look good. And, let's face it, copy protection makes their hardware - any hardware - look bad.
Re: Hooks for binary only parts?
We don't know. They might. It depends.

I have mixed feelings today as I am not sure what I should feel like after the father of my unborn child totally scorned me and said he "Hates and wish I never met you!" after hearing that I will not terminate the pregnancy at his request. One moment he is sorry for his reactionĀand then the next minute he is going on a wild rampage with remarks and jabs that are so low. He says he is reacting this way because I will not have an abortion and thats what he wants because he "can't tolerate a child". He says I don't care about him, whyĀam I doing this to him and that I am being selfish and crazy.ĀI thought it was my body, I also thought I would be doing the pushing andĀafter getting an ultrasound at 5 weeks(i know early) and realizing that something is in there, i just can not consider abortion. When I say he has lost his marbles, I mean it, so bad to where I have blocked all incoming text messages from him. Instead of treating me so horrible, I just wishĀ he would respect my decision after all, we have been together for 1 year and when he hit rock bottom in life, I supported him both emotionally and financially just up until I found out I was prego and he flipped out. I have been advised by family just to relax and notĀlet his immaturity and insanity get to me because I have to be concerned about the baby and these outragous migranes I have been having. Even though I know this is true, I am still human and have feelings. What a disaster at what should be a happy time.
What do you all think?

OMGosh. Kick him to the curb! Sounds liek you have the support of your family? That is ridiculous, childish behavior on his part. If he is having sex, there is always the chance he can conceive a child. Take care of yourself and baby and don't look back...

I agree with Paige.
Besides, he is giving you a glimpse into the real him, baby or no baby involved.

I think you all are correct and he is already on the curb!!!!!!! This is the "real him" as he can not fake his way though this as he has pretended to love me for the last year. I just got a vmail that says he is so confused but I have no idea what that is supposed to mean nor do I think I care.┬ĀI am just thinking about the child not having a father as I was really close to my own.
I totally agree!┬Ā The way this guy is acting, he might not be a very good father in the first place.┬Ā It sounds like he is still in the selfish and immature stage in life, but he may come around as you get farther along in your pregnancy.┬Ā The baby becomes "real" to mamas before┬Ādaddies, so maybe he's not thinking of him or her as his child yet, just an inconvenient "situation."┬Ā┬ĀThat might┬Āpass with time, or it might not.┬Ā But his initial reaction betrays how immature he is.┬Ā
I admire you for deciding to continue with your pregnancy and not give in to his demands, and I'm sure you will be an awesome mama!┬Ā It's also really good that you have your family's support.
Wishing the best for you!

Proud mama to my sweet girls, E (2/6/12) and H (7/30/14)
get rid of him.....he is all about ME ME ME....he has yet to sit back and think about what that would do to YOU.┬Ā I am sorry but fuck him.┬Ā He was the one that helped create this baby.┬Ā Rape him in court for child support!┬Ā
your family is right.....worry about you and your baby!┬Ā that is all that is important right now.┬Ā
ugh I freaking hate men like this.

Mandate and Paternalism: A Theory of Large Elections
We propose a game theoretic model of large elections that incorporates the assumption that mandate matters. This innovation is motivated by empirical evidence that US Representatives with larger victory margins on average vote in a more partisan manner. Without relying on preference for voting, this new model predicts strictly positive limiting turnout rates in a costly voting environment as the number of paternalistic voters grows arbitrarily large. The model also preserves stylized comparative statics results of costly voting models, including the underdog effect and the competition effect.

Folks, PLEASE use your brains. Logic is the key here. Fujifilm Tokyo states, "due to decrease in world wide global demand and smaller production runs...."
Now come on! How does removing a film from North America improve ANYTHING with the above? It does not. In fact, it makes it MUCH MUCH worse since North America must be one of the largest film markets in the world. Cut out the North American market and Provia's demand will decrease even MORE and the production runs will get even smaller.
NOTE: Provia 400X and Neopan 400 did *NOT* get the new updated boxes. Coincidence? I think not.

looks very promising, tracking! :)
World in War: Vietnam is an ambitious mod project that brings the Vietnam War to Men of War. You will follow the stories of 6 American infantrymen, from State-side bootcamp to the horrors of jungle warfare during the Tet Offensive.
Something new coming to the Men of War modding circle...
Posted by HrcAk47 on Jun 25th, 2011
World in War: Vietnam!
The work on this mod had started on 26th october 2009 - the date when our first model (US Combat helmet) was created by Alexey88 and yours truly.It has been a long journey of working (and constantly reworking - an example: the US soldier seen on the screenshots is version 5.3. That means he had 4 other soldier models and atleast 10 other textures before him...) things. However, this was not just a two-man show. With time, our team grew larger: C0ntrol (modeler), Nebel (modeler), Aekas (scripter) and Misanthrope (modeler) came to boost the progress.
From a humble start, to a grand finale...
Enjoy the first set of screenies, folks!
looks very promising, tracking! :)
I hope u get this done i will love a mod for MoW in Vietnam that looks so good tracking NOW!
i came, i saw, i track
Just out of curiosity, do you have any ideas/plans that will separate you from Men of War: Vietnam?
To be perfectly honest, they're the ones that should plan to separate themselves. We got here first.
But, we have some original, never-seen-before things in our arsenal :)
Then you release mod ?
models of soldiers and vehicles are great, since the game Platoon strategies were not, in the Vietnam War.
Ooh, I have an idea!
Could you possibly make the colour pallet a little darker and try to subdue the atmosphere? From what I see, MoW Vietnam is simply trying to capture the combat; this mod might be able to do better by exploring the grittier, less glamorous sides of the Vietnam War.
Just an idea. Otherwise, I really, really like the detail on the models produced so far; looking forward to this.
Nice !
Looks really good.
looking great tracking!

Hi Alessandra,
Marketers are pretty savvy at using hype and hyperbole for there own self interests. I guess it's up to consumers to call them out on their BS. As long as we keep buying their products, it's our own fault.
What kind of platform do you envision?

A key player in the Utah Symphony's piano search comes to Abravanel Hall
Pianist Inon Barnatan hasn't performed with the Utah Symphony before but he's well-acquainted with the orchestra's piano.
He helped pick it out.
Barnatan joined a small Utah Symphony delegation, which also included principal keyboardist Jason Hardink and associate conductor Vladimir Kulenovic, at the Steinway & Sons factory in New York City last February. After the group narrowed 10 candidates down to two, Hardink told The Salt Lake Tribune, he and Barnatan tested each of the two finalists for about eight hours. (In this video, Barnatan is the man in the light gray sweater under a dark jacket; Hardink is wearing an open-collared black shirt and jeans, while Kulenovic has a black turtleneck and glasses.)
The winning piano, which made its Abravanel Hall debut at an April concert, is "very versatile and [has] a tremendous range," Hardink said. "It's also able to make a big sound when you need it."
Barnatan will perform Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4 in three concerts this week with the Utah Symphony and guest conductor Matthias Pintscher. Also on the program are Pintscher's "towards Osiris" and Dvorak's Symphony No. 8.
When • Thursday, January 9, 7:30 p.m.
Where • Brigham Young University de Jong Concert Hall, Campus Drive and 1200 North, Provo
Tickets • $20; visit arts.byu.edu/events/2559
When • Friday and Saturday, Jan. 10-11, 8 p.m.
Where • Abravanel Hall, 123 W. South Temple, Salt Lake City
Tickets • $18-$55; visit bit.ly/1jfMrsg
Also • Barnatan will give a master class for University of Utah School of Music piano students at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 8, in Libby Gardner Concert Hall, 1375 E. Presidents Circle, Salt Lake City. Admission is free to the public.

Re: iMac late2006 17". When power button pressed, white light comes on and stays on but nothing else happens? in response to Mike wills
A steady LED light generally indicates that the computer is on and the display is asleep.
Before you get inpatient and start taking out screws or trying to open it up, which is not an easy task on that model.
Reset the SMC, as per > Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Wait fifteen seconds.
4. Attach the computer's power cord.
5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Then run the AHT, as per > Using Apple Hardware Test

there is also a question about submissions ...
some work that i have done over the years no longer exists
as a physical print because the scanning process damages
the image, and they can't be fixed. ( i just found a drawer full of
images like this from the last year and they are all dark grey )
so submission of physical prints would be impossible.
i think it is good that finally more than 4 people are commenting
and trying to figure out how to do this book.
i agree pretty much with everything ian and ole have said ...
i don't think anyone should be turned away because their work isn't
"high quality enough" because apug is full of people of all ability levels
just like in the traveling portfolio projects or the send the camera around the world
situations, no one is denied access because of their ability level.

iPhone 3G will actually go on sale at 8:00AM (local time, most likely) on July 11th. If you'll recall (how could you forget, right?), the original iPhone didn't go on sale until 6:00PM on launch day, but considering that the whole checkout process will likely be a fair bit more involved this go 'round, we'd say it's a smart move to get the line rolling early.
