		The reclusive writer, who moved to Seattle in 1999 from her native Southern California, was a giant in stature (she was 6 feet tall by age 15) and in accomplishment.
		Octavia Butler was one of the Northwest's most prominent science fiction writers.

		Octavias I've driven in the past – the 2.0 petrol and the 1.9 TDI – have exhibited a tendency for some understeer when being pushed really hard.

	Guitar Effects by Roger Mayer - Octavia
		The OCTAVIA produces a sound that is an octave higher than the note you are presently playing.
		Electronically the OCTAVIA is an analogue circuit with the properties of a frequency doubler, envelope generator and amplitude modulator with addition frequency shaping filter circuits.
		Jimi placed the Octavia after a fuzz and wah unit in most cases so it would react to the combined effects of both the wah and one or more fuzz boxes.

		Octavia: My characters tend to be very community-oriented–in all my books–if they aren’t part of a community, they tend to assemble communities around themselves, and if they fail they do it again, they don’t seem to give up.
		Octavia: The world in Parable of the Talents is a descendent of the world we live in now–the problems that we don’t pay attention to now are the ones that will grow into full-fledged disasters.

	Skoda Octavia vs Toyota Corolla - Business Standard Motoring (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Octavia's seats are firm and supportive, but their dimensions have, it seems, been engineered to remind you to not forget your morning workout in the gym.
		Launched hard from rest, the Octavia reaches 60 kph in 4.47 seconds and 100 kph in 11.53, which is not bad per se, but way off the Corolla's numbers.
		The Octavia has the better chassis/suspension combo, offers more driver involvement, and looks smarter than the Corolla, but all of this is still not enough to prevent the Japanese car from winning.
