OK how desperate are you for karma. Each clue can be answered by a word phrase title or name containing the word "cross". e.g. the clue "engage in combat" would be cross swords. Karma, karma, karma, to the one who gets most of them right.

Karma to you Anita...almost perfect. #5 is motor cross, and number 14, is Southern Cross (our friends from down under would know that since it was also the name of the Australian yacht that beat the Americans in the Americas Cup Races a few years back.)

And Chris, since you got 8 out of 14 and knew Southern Cross, karma to you too. Oh dear, I will be busy awarding karma. Let's see, I owe Kathy, Anita and Chris. I have a sticky note on my monitor. I will not forget.
OH CHRIS, I just saw that you also did the Empty Spaces one as well and got 8 -14 so double your karma.
