Sollux Captor, also known by his Trollian handle, twinArmageddons, is one of the Trolls. His associated zodiac sign is Gemini (♊) and he has two horns on each side of his head, as the number two is a theme for him. This is likely to be because of his relations to Gemini.
When typing, he doubles all of his 'i's (as a probable reference to the appearance of the Gemini sign), as well as replacing 's' with '2' and 'to' and 'too' with 'two'. This is meant to convey that he speaks with a bit of a lisp, possibly a reference to the programming language LISP. This duality theme may also be a reference to Binary code, because of his talent at programming.
Alternatively, his comfort with binary and his themes of duality probably link directly to the fact that his symbol is Gemini, the sign of the Twins. Everything he has or does relates to duality, especially his personality.
Additionally, he often will combine two sentences into a single line, but with no punctuation apart from a single period at the very end. Starting on this page, he begins using apostrophes as well. Occasionally, he ends sentences with an all-caps "FUCK", also other words, such as "JOKE", almost to the extent of a typing quirk. However, his teeth are later knocked out, and he begins to talk like Aradia (0s replacing Os) due to losing his lisp. He also has a very strong psychic ability.
Sollux rather transparently divides into "sol-lux", the Latin words for "sun" and "light", respectively. In addition, if you switch the S and P in his name it becomes "Pollux Castor." Pollux and Castor are the two brightest stars in the constellation of Gemini. It is also worth noting that Pollux is a red giant, while Castor is bluish white, complementing the red/blue duality theme. Castor and Pollux were famous mythological twins, which is where Gemini - Latin for "twins" - gets its name. Pollux and Castor were also the names of two characters in the movie Face/Off, a Nicolas Cage flick that came out the same year as Con Air and one that John Egbert has a poster of in his room.
His username, twinArmageddons, reflects two meanings. The first is the fact that he will die twice, (due to his dream selves on both Derse and Prospit), and the second being the end of the two universes. He mentions to Terezi that this will happen before he goes blind, which also may be a reference to his title as the "Mage of Doom", as he is able to predict unfortunate events.
He was on the Blue Team.
Sollux lives in a large city filled with skyscrapers known as "communal hive stems". This is probably the Alternian equivalent of an apartment building.
He is a well-known hacker, and has a lot of experience with computer programs and programming.
Sollux is a master of Apiculture Networks, using bees and their hive as a computer. He also is a high-level psionic, which gives him the power of telekinesis, and makes a Strife Deck utterly redundant. His weapon of choice for the time being appears to be the throwing-star. His Lusus is a two-headed Bicyclops; one head possesses a blue eye while the other one is red.
Sollux hears voices of the imminently deceased that warn him of the annihilation of Alternia. He believes that the trolls are all going to die. It turns out that he is apparently included dream selves in this (which is supported by his prediction that he would die twice). He also claims that he is destined to go blind before dying. This may have been part of the prophecy, or just an assumption he made since all prophets are destined to go blind. Either way, he does indeed lose his sight as a result of a duel with Eridan. During her goodbye to him, Aradia claims she thinks Sollux will be okay with his blindness.
Sollux, working alongside Aradia, is the one who introduces Sgrub to the Trolls' session and creates two teams of six with the twelve Trolls using the data Aradia salvaged from the ruins. He makes himself the leader of the Blue Team and Terezi the leader of the Red Team (to which Karkat takes great offense).
He gives Karkat the Mobius Double Reacharound Virus, which blows up Karkat's computer when he runs it in a fit of rage. The two of them believe the virus to have caused the deaths of all the lusii.
Sollux is also the last troll to enter The Medium. When he wakes up from a 'much-needed' nap induced by Aradia, he realizes he has inadvertently eaten some mind honey, causing his eyes to emit gigantic blasts of red and blue psychic energy, vaporizing his lusus as well as destroying a part of his hive complex. It's worth noting that the narration implicitly notes that by the time he wakes up all other trolls are in the Medium, which is false- Feferi had not yet entered at that point, as she was waiting on Sollux.
Sollux has two dream selves: one on Derse, and one on Prospit. He is the only character to have more than one (except his dancestor Mituna). His possession of two dream selves allows him to keep a version of himself alive, even if he were to hypothetically die twice. Sollux is indeed gruesomely killed by the Vast Glub, a galaxy-wide psychic shock wave emitted by Gl'bgolyb, Feferi's Lusus. Gl'bgolyb dies right as Karkat tries to get Sollux into the Medium, and Karkat fails to get him in before Sollux is affected. Before his death, he attempted to contact Karkat one last time, but ended up just typing about how much pain he was in. Karkat assumed he was just being an idiot and ignored him, but when he saw Sollux dead he immediately felt guilty and began to sob uncontrollably. When Sollux died, Feferi awakens his Dersite dream self by kissing his dead body. Sollux uses the opportunity to return to his hive, now in the Land of Brains and Fire, where he joins forces with Feferi. His Prospitian dream self wakes up when Aradia forces him to sleep.
His exile is Clubs Deuce, although Sollux unfortunately destroyed his terminal with psychic energy soon after being contacted, believing it to be another of the voices in his head.
Post HivebentEdit
Sollux does not participate in Karkat's plan to troll the kids as he believes they are all doomed anyway. He does help decipher the code for the rocket pack, but only because Terezi asked him to. He maintains the trolls' computers and their Trollian accounts, opening the viewport option when asked. He has a brief conversation with Aradia before her robotic body explodes. Afterwards he spends most of his time with Feferi, "glubbing" about his feelings, until his dramatic rematch with Eridan, in which he is "blinded by science." His unconscious body is dragged around by Karkat, to protect him from the various killers on the loose, sending them both tumbling down a flight of stairs and knocking out Sollux's teeth.
When he awakens, he finds himself in unusually good spirits, having lost the voices of doom in his head along with his eyes, and his hated lisp along with teeth. He replaces his own typing quirk with Aradia's, symbolizing his new, more balanced, personality. He contacts Terezi for advice on the blind lifestyle. And lastly he begins to wear Feferi's glasses, but stopped wearing them when he returned with Aradia, as a half-ghost, who is now only half blind.
When the creation of the Green sun hits the Trolls' incipisphere, Sollux uses his powers to pilot the meteor towards the Sun, away from Jack Noir. He overexerts himself, however, and dies when the meteor reaches the Sun, where his half-ghost is waiting with Aradia, Rose, and Dave.
He chooses to stay behind with Aradia, as he is capable of leaving his dream bubble and flying around with her. Because Jack Noir was preoccupied with the fully-prototyped Peregrine Mendicant, Sollux survived the battle.
Sollux's half corpse is preserved by Gamzee Makara, and is later revived as half of Erisolsprite. This causes the ghost half of his half-alive self to be pulled out, leaving him completely alive again, but also completely blind in the Furthest Ring.
Sollux becomes involved with Vriska's treasure hunting plan, going with Vriska on board her ship in the furthest ring, along with Aradia, Tavros, Meenah, and Aranea. However, he later departs with Feferi, Nepeta, and possibly Tavros after Tavros' declaration that he wants to leave Vriska's treasure hunt. He says he and the others may return after the battle with English is over.
Personality and TraitsEdit
Sollux seems introverted, reluctant to talk to Kanaya, and is the last troll to talk to the kids, as he saw it as juvenile. More evidence of this introversion is his shame at having once had an extremely immature argument with Karkat, which they both chose to delete from their chat logs out of embarrassment.
As a lowblood, Sollux possesses an incredible psychic diversity. He has been seen using telekinesis, using psionic blasts, having visions of the future, hearing the voices of the soon-to-be-dead, and putting bees to sleep.
Sollux is said to have bipolar disorder: getting mood swings to the point of sending the player away before naming him just to change his mind after the scene switched. He is also self-deprecating and beats himself up about little things such as how he doesn't think he is good enough as a hacker even when he is apeshit bananas at computers.
Because of his zodiac sign of Gemini, he has a penchant for bifurcation and duality, often splitting things into red and blue. In keeping with his zodiac theme, his appearance emphasizes duality. He has two sets of horns instead of one, glasses with hetero-chromatic lenses, and two mismatched shoes. In addition, the trolls' and kids' Universes are seen in his shades. Strangely enough, his actual eyes seem to be the same color as his glasses, and he is gifted with "vision twofold," the ability to see the future and the present.
According to Terezi, he had some very insulting remarks prepared for John for being unable to hack the PCHOOOOO Rocket code, merely because it's ambiguous to undo a complex binary OR operation on three codes. If any of you humans reading this can't do that either without merely using brute force, it's probably because you are not a psionic superhacker and deserve both the insults and the self-deprecation more than him.
After losing his eyes and teeth, changing his typing quirk, and getting blood over his Gemini symbol, it seems like he has decided to abandon his duality theme. He also seems generally calmer and happier than he was previously. Aradia convinces him to get over his hostility towards the kids, and he seems to follow what she said. He seems to have normal conversation along with Rose and Dave.
His best friend seems to be Karkat, with whom he shares a friendly rivalry. Sollux refers to Karkat as KK, the two Ks in his name appealing to Sollux's love of duality. They easily get on each other's nerves and argue, but always reconcile and label their arguments immature from both sides.
Aradia and FeferiEdit
He has two potential redromantic interests: Aradia and Feferi. They are the only two troll girls who have double-letter nicknames: AA and CC as abbreviated in Trollian, and aa and ff as spoken by him. Vriska Serket teased Aradia about Sollux being her boyfriend, but both Aradia and Sollux have never said anything specific about what sort of friendship they have. Vriska lured Aradia out to a mind-controlled Sollux (unsurprisingly, he's only vulnerable to her control half of the time, which is still long enough), and forced him to kill Aradia with mind honey. Nepeta's pre-Sgrub shipping wall has Aradia and Sollux marked as moirails and possible matesprits, but this is crossed out soon after she sees Equius and Aradiabot kissing.
Aradiabot chose to spend her last moments offering reassurance about the future, apologizing to him for not talking since becoming Equius's kismesis/matesprit, and hugging him. After her "death", he was apparently depressed about it and shared his feelings about Aradia openly with Feferi in the Horn Pile. Since reviving as god tier, Aradia and Sollux have continued as before with their conversations about everyone's fates, except with the sunnier changes to their dispositions.
Feferi seems likely to have tender feelings for him - spending one's last moments saving someone else's life does endear you to a person. They are seen shipped as matesprits on a later incarnation of Nepeta's shipping wall, and have spent a great deal of time together in the horn pile discussing feelings, among other things. One of Karkat's memos implies that Sollux is at least starting to use her fishy puns, sometimes replacing 'fuck' and 'fucking' with 'glub' and 'glubbing', respectively. Feferi implies that they (Sollux and Feferi) are in a quadrant when Eridan tries to start a kismesissitude with a completely uninterested Sollux. This could push Feferi to auspisticize between him and Sollux, which could pull Feferi and Sollux out of their quadrant, though nobody specifies which quadrant they are in. However, according to Erisolsprite's conversation with Fefetasprite, it is confirmed that Sollux and Feferi were, at one point, matesprits.
Kanaya is seen spending time with Sollux in The Veil as well. Kanaya alluded to them having a friendship similar to that of Dave and Rose, and she has been shown leading him by the arm due to his current blindness, he himself sporting a patched up bitemark, showing that he gave her some of his blood.
He is friends with Terezi, and initially chose her as the leader of the red team, since he respects her abilities. He has also helped her with various computer issues. When Sollux went blind, he talked with Terezi about it, and asked if she had any tips.
He doesn't seem to like Vriska very much, having been somewhat hostile towards her in Alterniabound, which is to be expected, seeing what she made him do to Aradia. He and Vriska have rather a rival relationship, as he is seen being rather rude to her a few times. He avoids her if at all possible.
Eridan had long bore desires to move from moirails to matesprits with Feferi. He was ultimately rejected. His being one of the few trolls who placed any stock in the caste system only worsened the situation when Sollux began a matespritship with her. He attempts to start a kismessitude with Sollux to get Feferi to auspitize and end the matespritship. He only stopped massacring angels to go to LOBAF for a duel. Sollux's powers defeated Ahab's Crosshairs, and Eridan returned to LOWAA. In [S] Kanaya: Return to the core, he challenged Sollux to a rematch where he used his wand to KO and blind Sollux. Gamzee later combined the two into Erisolsprite, a sad, conflicting creature full of misery and self-loathing.
Sollux's Lusus is a massive two-headed, horned giant called a Bicyclops. It has one eye on each head, one red and one blue, fitting with Sollux's red/blue theme, and a barely visible mouth below each eye. It eats mind honey, harvested from Sollux's beehouse mainframes, to 'keep it from being such an idiot all the time'. Sollux chains him to the roof of his communal hive stem (the troll equivalent of an apartment building). It has been killed by the catastrophic release of Sollux's psionic energy that demolished the upper levels of his hive, as a result of inadvertently consuming mind honey.
Later, a Bicyclops-prototyped kernelsprite is seen staring, dumbfounded, at Sollux's bloody corpse.
- Sollux's ancestor, the Helmsman, is not dead at the start of Hivebent. This is a characteristic he shares with Aradia Megido and Feferi Peixes ancestors; the Condesce and the Handmaid.
- Coincidentally, these are the two female trolls that Sollux has red feelings for.
- Sollux's shoes, and eyes, have both swapped the sides of their colours at various points in the story (Not flip-wise, actually swapped): His shoes are shown with the colours swapped when Sollux arrives at the asteroid, along with Aradia, Dave, and Rose. And his eyes are shown swapped in [S] Kanaya: Return to the Core when he starts to battle Eridan.
- The strip of blood that runs through the middle of Sollux' shirt symbol after being blinded by Eridan is probably a reference to the clothing design of the Ψiioniic, or his goggles while working as the Helmsman (which were similar to Feferi's goggles but with three lines instead of one), whose role he began to mimic after becoming blind.
- It may also be a reference to the letter Ψ (Psi), which has three prongs (the number of lines, including the blood) and is associated with the Ψiioniic.
- Sollux also wears Feferi's old goggles after becoming blind, another reference to his assuming of the role of Helmsman to the meteor.
- Sollux has many quirks related to the Tumor. His eyes were red and blue, the colors of the two universes inhabited by the kids and trolls respectively. After going blind, his eyes turn white and black, like his shoes, both corresponding to the outer coating of the Tumor. His pesterchum handle is twinArmageddons, which can be seen as a reference to the destruction of both the kids' and the troll's universe, activating the Tumor. This also ties into his title as the Mage of Doom.
- Sollux's exile is Clubs Deuce, whose name is slang for "two".
- He is the fourth troll introduced in the series. This could possibly be connected to his duality theme (2+2 or 2*2 or 2^2 = 4).
- Sollux's two eyes are colored blue and red, while his blood is yellow. These comprise the three primary colors in pigmentation (although not in light).
- Fitting in with this theme, when he becomes a sprite, his glasses are red and blue while the rest of his body is outlined in green, a reference to the RGB color scheme used in computers.
- In response to a question about whether any characters' names are shortened versions (e.g. Dave compared to David), Hussie stated that all of the characters' names are their full names, apart from Sollux, whose name he "confirmed" to be Solluxander, as suggested in the question. While it seems likely that he wasn't being serious, if it were canon, Sollux would notably be the only troll to break the six letter naming pattern for trolls.
- Sollux's position as a Hero of Doom may explain why he is so good at programming in ~ATH, a programming language which functions around things which are imminently doomed.
- Sollux Captor was most likely named from "Castor Pollux" as suggested by Avi. Castor and Pollux were twin brothers in greek mythology. In Latin, the twins were also known as the Gemini, of course. That one of the twins was named Castor is possibly the reason why his class is Mage (Castor --> Cast).Coincidentally, Castor Troy was also the name of the villian portrayed by Nicolas Cage in the movie "Face/Off", one of the movie posters on John's wall.
- Sollux's dream self attire has two stripes on the pants instead of one.
- Sollux inherited the Mage class from Meulin Leijon and his Doom aspect from his dancestor Mituna. While neither Meulin and Mituna, or Nepeta Leijon and Sollux have any strong connection to each other, The Disciple and the Ψiioniic were both loyal followers of the Signless.
- There are four possible parallels to "The Matrix".
- Firstly, The protagonist of "The Matrix", Thomas Anderson lives a double life as a hacker with the alias Neo.
- Sollux's shades are essentially a Red/Blue version of Neo's 'Secret agent-esque' shades.
- In "The Matrix", Anderson is offered a choice between a red and a blue pill by Morpheus.
- Neo itself is also a variety of computer related terms, ranging from a keyboard layout to a programming framework.
- Sollux is depicted on the "XIV:Temperance" card in the Homestuck tarot deck.

My DH and I leave this coming Saturday (April 14th) for the World and are trying to squeeze in one more ADR during our trip. We are looking to do a late dinner Tuesday (April 17th). We will be spending that day at the Magic Kingdom and are thinking of doing a dinner outside the part at either the Grand Floridian Cafe, or over at the Poly at Kona Cafe or 'Ohana. We are thinking if we do a later dinner we could hang around at whichever hotel we choose to dine at and enjoy the fireworks from there. So which meal do you suggest we enjoy base on food, but also viewing of the fireworks. Also we would love to have a drink following dinner so this is another piece to factor into the equation. I know that Misners at the GF allows cigar smoking on their patio. Can you see the fireworks from there as well? Is there any place at the Poly this is allowed? Sorry for the long question but I just want to get the best evening we can out of this. Thanks for any advise!

Arthur Laffer
Supply-side economics | |
Born | Youngstown, Ohio |
August 14, 1940
Nationality | American |
Field | Political economics |
Alma mater | Stanford (PhD, 1971; MBA, 1965) Yale (BA, 1963) |
Contributions | Laffer Curve |
Arthur Betz Laffer (/ˈlæfər/;[1] born August 14, 1940) is an American economist who first gained prominence during the Reagan administration as a member of Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board (1981–89). Laffer is best known for the Laffer curve, an illustration of the theory that there exists some tax rate between 0% and 100% that will result in maximum tax revenue for governments. He is the author and co-author of many books and newspaper articles, including Supply Side Economics: Financial Decision-Making for the 80s. Laffer is Policy Co-Chairman (with Lawrence "Larry" Kudlow) of the Free Enterprise Fund.
Life and career[edit]
Laffer was born in Youngstown, Ohio, the son of Marian Amelia "Molly" (née Betz), a homemaker and politician, and William Gillespie Laffer, a president of the Clevite Corporation.[2][3][4] He was raised a Presbyterian.[5] Laffer earned a B.A. in Economics from Yale University (1962) and an M.B.A. (1965) and a Ph.D. in Economics (1971) from Stanford University.
While he was at the USC Marshall School of Business, Laffer played a key role in writing California Proposition 13, the property-tax-cap initiative that inspired a tax revolt across the nation.
In the mid-1980s, Laffer left to teach at Pepperdine University in nearby Malibu. Laffer remained on the faculty for several years.
In 1986, Laffer was a candidate for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate—which he lost in the California primary to U.S. Congressman Ed Zschau who lost in the general election to the incumbent, Democrat Alan Cranston. Laffer identifies himself as a staunch fiscal conservative and libertarian. He has stated publicly that he voted for President Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996.[6] Laffer references President Clinton's conservative fiscal policies as cornerstones of his support.[7]
In 2008, he was named a Distinguished University Professor of Economics by Mercer University in Georgia.[8]
Professional activities[edit]
Laffer is the founder and CEO of Laffer Associates in Nashville, Tennessee, an economic research and consulting firm that provides global investment-research services to institutional asset managers, pension funds, financial institutions, and corporations.
He sits on the board of directors of several public and private companies. Laffer has been appointed to the advisory board of Sonenshine Partners, an independent investment bank focused on providing integrated strategic, financial and corporate advisory services. In 2004 Laffer joined the Board of Pillar Data Systems, a non-public Data Storage Company funded by Tako Ventures, a funding arm of Larry Ellison. In 2008, Laffer joined the Board of Alpha Theory, a non-public Fundamental Portfolio Optimization software for hedge and mutual funds. Laffer recently joined the advisory board of.[9]
In 2010, Laffer joined the Boards of Executive Trading Solutions, an LLC providing the top technological solution for management of Rule 10b51 stock trading plans, and Consensus Point, a provider of an enterprise prediction markets platform.
Laffer also regularly writes opinion articles in The Wall Street Journal.[10]
Laffer curve[edit]
Although he does not claim to have invented the Laffer curve concept (Laffer, 2004), it was popularized with policy-makers following an afternoon meeting with Nixon/Ford Administration officials Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld in 1974 in which he reportedly sketched the curve on a napkin to illustrate his argument.[11] The term "Laffer curve" was coined by Jude Wanniski, who was also present. The basic concept was not new; Laffer himself says he learned it from Ibn Khaldun and John Maynard Keynes.[12]
A simplified view of the theory is that tax revenues would be zero if tax rates were either 0% or 100%, and somewhere in between 0% and 100% is a tax rate which maximizes total revenue. Laffer's postulate was that the tax rate that maximizes revenue was at a much lower level than previously believed: so low that current tax rates were above the level where revenue is maximized.
The following is a partial list of publications written primarily by Laffer, with co-authors indicated, in order by date:

Viewing error logs in PrestaShop 1.5
Continuing on with our course on Managing Error Logs, this article will cover where to view your error logs and how to get notices to your email. Errors will inevitably occur and being able to view them or get notices about them can be very important. Below are the instructions on setting that up in PrestaShop 1.5
How to view error logs in PrestaShop 1.5
- Log into your PrestaShop 1.5 dashboard.
- Using the top menu bar, hover over the Advanced Parameters tab and click on the Logs option from the menu.
- You are now on the Logs page where you will find a list of all errors after they occur. If there are errors listed, simply click on the row to view the error log.
- Setting your notifications is done below the list under the Logs by email section. To set them, find the Minimum Severity Level and set the number (1-4) that you would like to be notified for. For example, if you select 2, you will be emailed for any errors generated that are of severity 2 or above. Placing 5 in the field disables the email notification completely.

FutureMark is announcing a new overclocking competition dubbed the "Lords of Overclocking". This latest in a recent spree of PC drag racing has the support and sponsorship from a number of the industry's key players.
MSI, Huntkey, Thermaltake,GlacialTech, Enermax, and Patriot Memory are all chipping in to get the show going. The actual competition started on the 18th of May and will continue until the 14th of June. The contest should have upwards of 200,000 entrants as the enthusiasts, Do-it-Yourselfers and overclockers from Europe, the Americas and Asia all fight to win their respective regions.
The contestants will be competing to see who can get the highest 3DMark06 (meaning you can still use XP) with entries submitted online. The beauty of this is that you do not have to fly out anywhere to enter. You can do so from the comfort of your own cave (or your Mom's basement).
Prizes will be awarded for weekly, random and overall top scores; with the prizes as follows:
One overall top winner will also be invited to attend the MSI Master Overclocking Arena 2009 event in Beijing, China in September 2009. All in all - some pretty nice prizes are up for grabs out there.
"Overclocking is growing in popularity all the time and on average we see a new benchmark result submitted to our database every 4 seconds. This worldwide competition gives people in three regions the chance to compete for great prizes. We will be surprised if records are not broken," said Jukka Mäkinen, Futuremark's Vice President, Products and Services.
So, get your cooling gear together and start tweaking out those systems. You can read more information on the Lords of Overclocking at FurtureMark's website

(PARSONS, Kan.)—
Two individuals pled guilty Monday to charges of Medicaid fraud and were ordered to repay nearly $30,000.Robert Hicks of Independence, pled guilty to three counts of unlawful acts relating to the Medicaid program, six counts of making false information, three counts of theft and three counts of conspiracy to commit forgery.
All the charges were felonies.
As part of his plea, Hicks will serve 60 days in jail and pay restitution of $13,061.16 to the Kansas Medicaid Program.
Jessica Hodge of Des Moines, Iowa, pled guilty to six counts of making false information, two counts of theft, and four counts of conspiracy to make a false claim to the Medicaid program.
All of these charges were also felonies.
Hodge's plea agreement requires her to repay $15,932.88 to the Kansas Medicaid Program.
The charges stemmed from an investigation into home health care billings by several employees and independent care attendants who used Southeast Kansas Independent Living Center (SKIL) as their payroll agent.
Hicks and Hodge submitted claims as personal care attendants for Medicaid beneficiaries, but never provided services.
Charges against eight other individuals involved in the investigation are still pending.

One response to "may 3 box"
If you're going to get beat in the 9th inning I would like to have the other team put together a couple of hits at least. There is nothing worse than watching walk after walk. Unfortunately I dont see a guy in that bullpen that can pump strike after strike except James Russel. Maybe another option is moving Randy Wells into the closer spot, he will not walk people and will make the batters beat him. Maybe a rejuvination to randy and the cubs, it worked with demp why not wells

There's numerous reports of soldiers being attacked by hogs while laying there wounded. In addition, this "3rd army" were often present near hospitals feeding on the discarded amputated limbs. (Kind of makes you wish that you shouldn't have had that extra piece of Jimmy Dean's sausage this morning). In terms of period photos of the dead, look closely, for a number of them have their jackets unbottoned - many a wounded individual would look to see where the wound was knowing if it was an abdominal one, there was little hope for them. Also, jackets could be open from the postmortem bloating which occurred. Again as previously stated, what's the goal of war - to kill the other person, to me nothing chivalrous about that. Doc C |

Laramie, WY – The Red Lobster Restaurant in Casper has burned down. The fire department responded to a fire at about eight a-m this morning. However firefighters were not able to control the fire inside the building. The building is considered a total loss.
Several employees were in the building at the outset of the fire and all safely evacuated prior to the arrival of firefighters. There were no injuries reported as a result of the fire.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation and the cause is not yet known. Due to extensive damage to the structure, it may be some time before it is known.

Mpg In Econetic Ford Focus

mpg... is the average on the dash accurate-ish? I started writing down mileage and fuel amount at every fill and was going to work it out by hand and then lost the bit of paper with the numbers
The Econetic should get virtually the same figures as a stock 1.6 I wouldve thought. Flatter wheel trims and harder tyres... anything else?
I get anything from 55 to 64 on the dash. Drove 200 miles one weekend in a car with wife and 2 kids, air con on, 460 litre roofbox stuffed full of camping equipment, 20Kg 6 man tent, calor gas bottle, camping furniture, stove, the works, in the estate boot, and it still reckoned I was getting 60
I have wondered that to be honest, especially the miles left in the tank calc, completely toned down my driving and still won't get 400 miles out of this tank.
Nothing spesh on my model other than the appearance pack.
Time will tell I think with this issue
Posted 10 February 2013 - 05:10 PM
Posted 10 February 2013 - 07:31 PM
iam getting 50mpg from my focus which has 2000 miles on the clock.
my car is a focus zetec econetic (so the badge on the boot says)
Hi Jamie, In your signature it says non maintained DPF, how do you find this out ? Thanks. Pat.
10K miles ----- Currently showing 54mpg, Using standard supermarket fuel, when I first got the car had prem fuel in a month ago and was showing 58mpg.
Sits on motorway at 60-65mph..... Journey to work 40 mile trip and half town and motorway.
Posted 10 February 2013 - 07:38 PM
1.6 tdci DV6 focus's 2010 on were fitted with coated maintenance free diesel particulate filters.
I have seen on etis that 2.0 tdci's from 2010 have the same filter.
They Burn off the soot accumulation at set intervals exactly the same as the dpf with fluid.
The way i found out was via Etis and a couple of other members
Posted 10 February 2013 - 07:46 PM
Okay i'll check my vin tomorrow on ETIS it's raining outside, should really record it.
Posted 12 February 2013 - 07:10 AM
Posted 12 February 2013 - 07:13 AM
Also they have specially fitted tyres to the econetic as part of the tests which have low rolling resistance but provide less grip, so tyres do make a difference, the make not just the pressures!
The econetic, from what I believe has a lighter engine and the oil is different. Also added are the aerodynamic additions, such as wheel trims, side skirts and front bumper. Its also lowered 10 mm from a standard focus.
Posted 20 February 2013 - 03:32 PM
My old 2005 Octavia 140bhp 2.0 diesel regularly got 55-58mpg. Same journey, driven the same way, in the Focus gets 60ish. Very disappointing, and to claim 80+ is fraudulent IMO.

Posted 12 August 2013 - 11:31 AM
for what is worth I did a longish trip to RAF Cosford 186 miles from home, and averaged 65mpg with cruise control set at 70mph
on returning home and running round doors my average is 50mpg mine is sept 2012/62 plate with 10k on clock
Posted 12 August 2013 - 06:03 PM
http://www.carmagazi...e-fuel-economy/ interesting article for those who need to know more about how the figures are reached. It says that they are attained on a rolling road...
Posted 12 August 2013 - 07:53 PM
The air con has been used but not too much, windows are up and not load in the boot.
I had thought of the tyres earlier and went to check them, not low at all.
Honest John website is really good so thanks for that. Real life MPG (which I must admit is an absolute joke when you read why the EC figures are so optimistic) is between 44-59.
Real average around 50, so I guess the car is acting 'normal'. So much for efficiency ey, more like a smokescreen!
If i drive my 1.8 tdci carefully i can get 65mpg from it on A roads! Average around 50-55 country laning and city driving.I dont know how you lot manage to get such a low MPG
Posted 12 August 2013 - 08:15 PM
Does it need a service? have a look at the air filter condition. The first focus i drove was a 1.6TDCI Econetics, it was older than my ZS.
Hertz on demand rental car for 3 days, i drove from london to devon and back spent £54 on fuel and when i got back to london i drove 445 miles it still had more than quarter tank and i drove it like i stole it! i was very impressed with the fuel economy.
My ZS has the same engine and the econetics is no gimmick it really does make a difference, the one i drove had regular summer tyres on 16" mini ST's done the same journey in my ZS and although i got 400 miles the tank was near empty of course i wasn't driving for economy.
So from my experience the econetics is a totally different beast, it also felt like it had more torque than my ZS, i saved all info on my spendings for that rental even got a pic of the fuel that was left and the mileage done so i would suggest that you check the oil and air filter and overall service of the car.
It's important to note that on a cold engine it will burnt alot of fuel, switch on the instant fuel display and check the difference under acceleration from a warm engine and cold.
it goes without saying that your mileage will depend on the type of road the car is driven on, any kind of urban driving rips into the tank hard
Posted 13 August 2013 - 07:58 AM
Gave up with my Focus. The mpg did improve dramatically after 10k miles but so many other niggles I sold it after only 6 months. I'll never buy another Ford.
