We study the quasiparticle excitation and quench dynamics of the one-dimensional transverse-field Ising model with power-law (1/rα) interactions. We find that long-range interactions give rise to a confining potential, which couples pairs of domain walls (kinks) into bound quasiparticles, analogous to mesonic bound states in high-energy physics. We show that these bound states have dramatic consequences for the non-equilibrium dynamics following a global quantum quench, such as suppressed spreading of quantum information and oscillations of order parameters. The masses of these bound states can be read out from the Fourier spectrum of these oscillating order parameters. We then use a two-kink model to qualitatively explain the phenomenon of long-range-interaction-induced confinement. The masses of the bound states predicted by this model are in good quantitative agreement with exact diagonalization results. Moreover, we illustrate that these bound states lead to weak thermalization of local observables for initial states with energy near the bottom of the many-body energy spectrum. Our work is readily applicable to current trapped-ion experiments.%B Phys. Rev.

Else %A Christopher Monroe %A Chetan Nayak %A Norman Y. Yao %X
Experimental advances have allowed for the exploration of nearly isolated quantum many-body systems whose coupling to an external bath is very weak. A particularly interesting class of such systems is those which do not thermalize under their own isolated quantum dynamics. In this review, we highlight the possibility for such systems to exhibit new non-equilibrium phases of matter. In particular, we focus on "discrete time crystals", which are many-body phases of matter characterized by a spontaneously broken discrete time translation symmetry. We give a definition of discrete time crystals from several points of view, emphasizing that they are a non-equilibrium phenomenon, which is stabilized by many-body interactions, with no analog in non-interacting systems. We explain the theory behind several proposed models of discrete time crystals, and compare a number of recent realizations, in different experimental contexts.%8 05/30/2019 %G eng %U https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.13232 %0 Journal Article %D 2019 %T Ground-state energy estimation of the water molecule on a trapped ion quantum computer %A Yunseong Nam %A Jwo-Sy Chen %A Neal C.

Quantum computing leverages the quantum resources of superposition and entanglement to efficiently solve computational problems considered intractable for classical computers. Examples include calculating molecular and nuclear structure, simulating strongly-interacting electron systems, and modeling aspects of material function. While substantial theoretical advances have been made in mapping these problems to quantum algorithms, there remains a large gap between the resource requirements for solving such problems and the capabilities of currently available quantum hardware. Bridging this gap will require a co-design approach, where the expression of algorithms is developed in conjunction with the hardware itself to optimize execution. Here, we describe a scalable co-design framework for solving chemistry problems on a trapped ion quantum computer, and apply it to compute the ground-state energy of the water molecule. The robust operation of the trapped ion quantum computer yields energy estimates with errors approaching the chemical accuracy, which is the target threshold necessary for predicting the rates of chemical reaction dynamics.%8 03/07/2019 %G eng %U https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.10171 %0 Journal Article %D 2019 %T Heisenberg-Scaling Measurement Protocol for Analytic Functions with Quantum Sensor Networks %A Kevin Qian %A Zachary Eldredge %A Wenchao Ge %A Guido Pagano %A Christopher Monroe %A James V. Porto %A Alexey V. Gorshkov %X
We generalize past work on quantum sensor networks to show that, for d input parameters, entanglement can yield a factor O(d) improvement in mean squared error when estimating an analytic function of these parameters. We show that the protocol is optimal for qubit sensors, and conjecture an optimal protocol for photons passing through interferometers. Our protocol is also applicable to continuous variable measurements, such as one quadrature of a field operator. We outline a few potential applications, including calibration of laser operations in trapped ion quantum computing.%8 01/25/2019 %G eng %U https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.09042 %0 Journal Article %J New J.

We examine the viability of quantum repeaters based on two-species trapped ion modules for long distance quantum key distribution. Repeater nodes comprised of ion-trap modules of co-trapped ions of distinct species are considered. The species used for communication qubits has excellent optical properties while the other longer lived species serves as a memory qubit in the modules. Each module interacts with the network only via single photons emitted by the communication ions. Coherent Coulomb interaction between ions is utilized to transfer quantum information between the communication and memory ions and to achieve entanglement swapping between two memory ions. We describe simple modular quantum repeater architectures realizable with the ion-trap modules and numerically study the dependence of the quantum key distribution rate on various experimental parameters, including coupling efficiency, gate infidelity, operation time and length of the elementary links. Our analysis suggests crucial improvements necessary in a physical implementation for co-trapped two-species ions to be a competitive platform in long-distance quantum communication.%B New J.

We demonstrate a Bayesian quantum game on an ion trap quantum computer with five qubits. The players share an entangled pair of qubits and perform rotations on their qubit as the strategy choice. Two five-qubit circuits are sufficient to run all 16 possible strategy choice sets in a game with four possible strategies. The data are then parsed into player types randomly in order to combine them classically into a Bayesian framework. We exhaustively compute the possible strategies of the game so that the experimental data can be used to solve for the Nash equilibria of the game directly. Then we compare the payoff at the Nash equilibria and location of phase-change-like transitions obtained from the experimental data to the theory, and study how it changes as a function of the amount of entanglement.%G eng %U https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08116 %0 Journal Article %D 2018 %T High Purity Single Photons Entangled with an Atomic Memory %A Clayton Crocker %A Martin Lichtman %A Ksenia Sosnova %A Allison Carter %A Sophia Scarano %A Christopher Monroe %X
Trapped atomic ions are an ideal candidate for quantum network nodes, with long-lived identical qubit memories that can be locally entangled through their Coulomb interaction and remotely entangled through photonic channels. The integrity of this photonic interface is generally reliant on purity of single photons produced by the quantum memory. Here we demonstrate a single-photon source for quantum networking based on a trapped 138Ba+ ion with a single photon purity of g2(0)=(8.1±2.3)×10−5 without background subtraction. We further optimize the tradeoff between the photonic generation rate and the memory-photon entanglement fidelity for the case of polarization photonic qubits by tailoring the spatial mode of the collected light.%G eng %U https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.01749 %0 Journal Article %J Physical Review Letters %D 2018 %T Robust two-qubit gates in a linear ion crystal using a frequency-modulated driving force %A Pak Hong Leung %A Kevin A. Landsman %A Caroline Figgatt %A Norbert M. Linke %A Christopher Monroe %A Kenneth R. Brown %X
In an ion trap quantum computer, collective motional modes are used to entangle two or more qubits in order to execute multi-qubit logical gates. Any residual entanglement between the internal and motional states of the ions will result in decoherence errors, especially when there are many spectator ions in the crystal. We propose using a frequency-modulated (FM) driving force to minimize such errors and implement it experimentally. In simulation, we obtained an optimized FM gate that can suppress decoherence to less than 10−4 and is robust against a frequency drift of more than ±1 kHz. The two-qubit gate was tested in a five-qubit trapped ion crystal, with 98.3(4)% fidelity for a Mølmer-Sørensen entangling gate and 98.6(7)% for a controlled-not (CNOT) gate. We also show an optimized FM two-qubit gate for 17 ions, proving the scalability of our method.%B Physical Review Letters %V 120 %P 020501 %8 2018/01/09 %G eng %U https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.020501 %N 2 %R 10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.020501 %0 Journal Article %D 2018 %T Verified Quantum Information Scrambling %A Kevin A. Landsman %A Caroline Figgatt %A Thomas Schuster %A Norbert M. Linke %A Beni Yoshida %A Norman Y. Yao %A Christopher Monroe %X
Quantum scrambling is the dispersal of local information into many-body quantum entanglements and correlations distributed throughout the entire system. This concept underlies the dynamics of thermalization in closed quantum systems, and more recently has emerged as a powerful tool for characterizing chaos in black holes. However, the direct experimental measurement of quantum scrambling is difficult, owing to the exponential complexity of ergodic many-body entangled states. One way to characterize quantum scrambling is to measure an out-of-time-ordered correlation function (OTOC); however, since scrambling leads to their decay, OTOCs do not generally discriminate between quantum scrambling and ordinary decoherence. Here, we implement a quantum circuit that provides a positive test for the scrambling features of a given unitary process. This approach conditionally teleports a quantum state through the circuit, providing an unambiguous litmus test for scrambling while projecting potential circuit errors into an ancillary observable. We engineer quantum scrambling processes through a tunable 3-qubit unitary operation as part of a 7-qubit circuit on an ion trap quantum computer. Measured teleportation fidelities are typically ∼80%, and enable us to experimentally bound the scrambling-induced decay of the corresponding OTOC measurement.%G eng %U https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.02807 %0 Journal Article %J Nature Communications, accepted %D 2017 %T Complete 3-Qubit Grover Search on a Programmable Quantum Computer %A C. Figgatt %A Dmitri Maslov %A K. A. Landsman %A N. M. Linke %A S. Debnath %A Christopher Monroe %X
Searching large databases is an important problem with broad applications. The Grover search algorithm provides a powerful method for quantum computers to perform searches with a quadratic speedup in the number of required database queries over classical computers. It is an optimal search algorithm for a quantum computer, and has further applications as a subroutine for other quantum algorithms. Searches with two qubits have been demonstrated on a variety of platforms and proposed for others, but larger search spaces have only been demonstrated on a non-scalable NMR system. Here, we report results for a complete three-qubit Grover search algorithm using the scalable quantum computing technology of trapped atomic ions, with better-than-classical performance. The algorithm is performed for all 8 possible single-result oracles and all 28 possible two-result oracles. Two methods of state marking are used for the oracles: a phase-flip method employed by other experimental demonstrations, and a Boolean method requiring an ancilla qubit that is directly equivalent to the state-marking scheme required to perform a classical search. All quantum solutions are shown to outperform their classical counterparts. We also report the first implementation of a Toffoli-4 gate, which is used along with Toffoli-3 gates to construct the algorithms; these gates have process fidelities of 70.5% and 89.6%, respectively.%B Nature Communications, accepted %8 2017/03/30 %G eng %U https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.10535 %0 Conference Proceedings %B Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences %D 2017 %T Experimental Comparison of Two Quantum Computing Architectures %A N.M. Linke %A Dmitri Maslov %A Martin Roetteler %A S. Debnath %A C. Figgatt %A K. A. Landsman %A K. Wright %A Christopher Monroe %X
We run a selection of algorithms on two state-of-the-art 5-qubit quantum computers that are based on different technology platforms. One is a publicly accessible superconducting transmon device [1] with limited connectivity, and the other is a fully connected trapped-ion system [2]. Even though the two systems have different native quantum interactions, both can be programmed in a way that is blind to the underlying hardware, thus allowing the first comparison of identical quantum algorithms between different physical systems. We show that quantum algorithms and circuits that employ more connectivity clearly benefit from a better connected system of qubits. While the quantum systems here are not yet large enough to eclipse classical computers, this experiment exposes critical factors of scaling quantum computers, such as qubit connectivity and gate expressivity. In addition, the results suggest that co-designing particular quantum applications with the hardware itself will be paramount in successfully using quantum computers in the future.%B Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences %7 13 %V 114 %P 3305-3310 %8 2017/03/21 %G eng %U http://www.pnas.org/content/114/13/3305 %R 10.1073/pnas.1618020114 %0 Journal Article %D 2016 %T Co-Designing a Scalable Quantum Computer with Trapped Atomic Ions %A Kenneth R. Brown %A Jaewan Kim %A Christopher Monroe %X The first generation of quantum computers are on the horizon, fabricated from quantum hardware platforms that may soon be able to tackle certain tasks that cannot be performed or modelled with conventional computers. These quantum devices will not likely be universal or fully programmable, but special-purpose processors whose hardware will be tightly co-designed with particular target applications. Trapped atomic ions are a leading platform for first generation quantum computers, but are also fundamentally scalable to more powerful general purpose devices in future generations. This is because trapped ion qubits are atomic clock standards that can be made identical to a part in 10^15, and their quantum circuit connectivity can be reconfigured through the use of external fields, without modifying the arrangement or architecture of the qubits themselves. In this article we show how a modular quantum computer of any size can be engineered from ion crystals, and how the wiring between ion trap qubits can be tailored to a variety of applications and quantum computing protocols. %8 2016/02/09 %G eng %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.02840 %0 Journal Article %J Physical Review B %D 2016 %T Kaleidoscope of quantum phases in a long-range interacting spin-1 chain %A Zhe-Xuan Gong %A Mohammad F. Maghrebi %A Anzi Hu %A Michael Foss-Feig %A Philip Richerme %A Christopher Monroe %A Alexey V. Gorshkov %X Motivated by recent trapped-ion quantum simulation experiments, we carry out a comprehensive study of the phase diagram of a spin-1 chain with XXZ-type interactions that decay as 1/rα, using a combination of finite and infinite-size DMRG calculations, spin-wave analysis, and field theory. In the absence of long-range interactions, varying the spin-coupling anisotropy leads to four distinct phases: a ferromagnetic Ising phase, a disordered XY phase, a topological Haldane phase, and an antiferromagnetic Ising phase. If long-range interactions are antiferromagnetic and thus frustrated, we find primarily a quantitative change of the phase boundaries. On the other hand, ferromagnetic (non-frustrated) long-range interactions qualitatively impact the entire phase diagram. Importantly, for α≲3, long-range interactions destroy the Haldane phase, break the conformal symmetry of the XY phase, give rise to a new phase that spontaneously breaks a U(1) continuous symmetry, and introduce an exotic tricritical point with no direct parallel in short-range interacting spin chains. We show that the main signatures of all five phases found could be observed experimentally in the near future. %B Physical Review B %V 93 %P 205115 %8 2016/05/11 %G eng %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1510.02108 %N 20 %R http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.93.205115 %0 Journal Article %J Nature Physics %D 2016 %T Many-body localization in a quantum simulator with programmable random disorder %A Jacob Smith %A Aaron Lee %A Philip Richerme %A Brian Neyenhuis %A Paul W. Hess %A Philipp Hauke %A Markus Heyl %A David A. Huse %A Christopher Monroe %X
When a system thermalizes it loses all local memory of its initial conditions. This is a general feature of open systems and is well described by equilibrium statistical mechanics. Even within a closed (or reversible) quantum system, where unitary time evolution retains all information about its initial state, subsystems can still thermalize using the rest of the system as an effective heat bath. Exceptions to quantum thermalization have been predicted and observed, but typically require inherent symmetries or noninteracting particles in the presence of static disorder. The prediction of many-body localization (MBL), in which disordered quantum systems can fail to thermalize in spite of strong interactions and high excitation energy, was therefore surprising and has attracted considerable theoretical attention. Here we experimentally generate MBL states by applying an Ising Hamiltonian with long-range interactions and programmably random disorder to ten spins initialized far from equilibrium. We observe the essential signatures of MBL: memory retention of the initial state, a Poissonian distribution of energy level spacings, and entanglement growth in the system at long times. Our platform can be scaled to higher numbers of spins, where detailed modeling of MBL becomes impossible due to the complexity of representing such entangled quantum states. Moreover, the high degree of control in our experiment may guide the use of MBL states as potential quantum memories in naturally disordered quantum systems.%B Nature Physics %8 2016/06/06 %G eng %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.07026v1 %R 10.1038/nphys3783 %0 Journal Article %J Nature %D 2014 %T Non-local propagation of correlations in long-range interacting quantum systems %A Philip Richerme %A Zhe-Xuan Gong %A Aaron Lee %A Crystal Senko %A Jacob Smith %A Michael Foss-Feig %A Spyridon Michalakis %A Alexey V. Gorshkov %A Christopher Monroe %X The maximum speed with which information can propagate in a quantum many-body system directly affects how quickly disparate parts of the system can become correlated and how difficult the system will be to describe numerically. For systems with only short-range interactions, Lieb and Robinson derived a constant-velocity bound that limits correlations to within a linear effective light cone. However, little is known about the propagation speed in systems with long-range interactions, since the best long-range bound is too loose to give the correct light-cone shape for any known spin model and since analytic solutions rarely exist. In this work, we experimentally determine the spatial and time-dependent correlations of a far-from-equilibrium quantum many-body system evolving under a long-range Ising- or XY-model Hamiltonian. For several different interaction ranges, we extract the shape of the light cone and measure the velocity with which correlations propagate through the system. In many cases we find increasing propagation velocities, which violate the Lieb-Robinson prediction, and in one instance cannot be explained by any existing theory. Our results demonstrate that even modestly-sized quantum simulators are well-poised for studying complicated many-body systems that are intractable to classical computation. %B Nature %V 511 %P 198 - 201 %8 2014/7/9 %G eng %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1401.5088v1 %N 7508 %!

Local adiabatic evolution -- in which the system evolution rate is a function of the instantaneous energy gap -- is found to maximize the ground state probability compared with other adiabatic methods while only requiring knowledge of the lowest $\sim N$ of the $2^N$ Hamiltonian eigenvalues. We also demonstrate that the ground state ordering can be experimentally identified as the most probable of all possible spin configurations, even when the evolution is highly non-adiabatic. %B Physical Review A %V 88 %8 2013/7/31 %G eng %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1305.2253v1 %N 1 %!

Ladd %A Fedor Jelezko %A Raymond Laflamme %A Yasunobu Nakamura %A Christopher Monroe %A Jeremy L. O'Brien %X Quantum mechanics---the theory describing the fundamental workings of nature---is famously counterintuitive: it predicts that a particle can be in two places at the same time, and that two remote particles can be inextricably and instantaneously linked. These predictions have been the topic of intense metaphysical debate ever since the theory's inception early last century. However, supreme predictive power combined with direct experimental observation of some of these unusual phenomena leave little doubt as to its fundamental correctness. In fact, without quantum mechanics we could not explain the workings of a laser, nor indeed how a fridge magnet operates. Over the last several decades quantum information science has emerged to seek answers to the question: can we gain some advantage by storing, transmitting and processing information encoded in systems that exhibit these unique quantum properties? Today it is understood that the answer is yes. Many research groups around the world are working towards one of the most ambitious goals humankind has ever embarked upon: a quantum computer that promises to exponentially improve computational power for particular tasks. A number of physical systems, spanning much of modern physics, are being developed for this task---ranging from single particles of light to superconducting circuits---and it is not yet clear which, if any, will ultimately prove successful.

The interference and detection of the resulting scattered photons can then herald the entanglement of the disparate atomic and solid-state quantum bits.

We study in detail a particular case of this interface applied to a single trapped \Yb ion and a cavity-coupled InGaAs semiconductor quantum dot.

New Moon in Pisces - Higher Awareness & Imagination
The New Moon for March 2019 reaches its peak on Wednesday the 6th at 17:05, Amsterdam time.
The Aquarius New Moon cycle ends and the Pisces New Moon cycle begins. The New Moon in Pisces is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Fish.
This is a busy New Moon as it also falls on the same day that Uranus shifts into Taurus.
Whenever a slow moving planet like Uranus changes signs, it sends waves out into the cosmos which we feel on many levels. This move of Uranus into Taurus also sets up the start of a new cycle which will last until 2026.
New Moon
A new moon represents the end of one cycle and the beginning of another new 28 day cycle. That's why we always use the energy of the new moon for new beginnings, setting new intentions and reflecting upon the last 28 days. Our new moon healing circle is great way to gather as a community, sit in circle and set new intentions with healing thoughts to any life lessons over the last 28 days.
New Moon in Pisces
The New Moon on Wednesday March 6, 2019 at 15° Pisces joins Neptune. This gives the New Moon March 2019 astrology a spiritual and enlightening influence. Harmonious aspects to Mars and Saturn give passion and practical results.
On the night of this New Moon, hearts will be opened and seeds will be planted. You will enter into a new domain of understanding. This New Moon is going to lead us into the new beginnings that the astrological new year will bring on the Equinox of March 21st, when the Sun returns to the beginning point of the zodiac wheel. It is going to give us a glimmer of this energy and will help us to prepare for this new chapter. This New Moon is the starting point to the rest of the year. What we plant now, will help guide us through the months to come.
With the help of Pisces we can include taking a leap of faith, accepting imperfections in ourselves and in others as a different kind of "perfection," starting a project that requires imagination and visualization skills, consciously putting time aside for peaceful and rejuvenating activities, and sharing a dream with another. With this potent Pisces energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives.
It is going to be a creative and inspiring New Moon with its conjunction to Neptune, square to Jupiter and sextile to Mars. This New Moon also joins asteroid Vesta for sexuality and devotion, and fixed star Achernar for morality and success. It encourages compassion but also karmic friendship and soul mate unions.
The beauty of a Pisces New Moon is that we are not encouraged to think deeply, instead we are encouraged to feel deeply. This phase of the Moon occurs at 15 degrees and 47 minutes of Pisces, affecting people born with personal planets and points at Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces most significantly.
Organs influenced by Pisces Moon Sign:
Feet, toes, hypophysis, pineal gland, endorphin, melatonin.
These organs are now more sensitive so provide them with extra care.
Join us for an amazing New Moon Healing Circle every month in the energy of the New Moon!
Join us in these magical evenings of healing where we practice a beautiful and intimate New Moon Mantra Meditation. We will bless ourselves in this sacred meditation with the name "The Healing Ring of Tantra". The healing ring can be used to generate and direct tremendous healing energy. During this meditation we hold hands in an unbroken circle using specific call and response chants to generate healing vibrations. Be astonished by the energy that will be generated by the group, all connecting in an unbroken circle generating healing vibrations for those in circle and at a distance, all chanting with the intention of healing, and to sent into the universe. This truly is a profound meditation experience…

Little Honey
Lost Highway Records ***
The roots-rock queen of heartbreak has finally found her sweet spot. On Little Honey, the ninth studio album from Lucinda Williams, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter counterbalances tales of bitter love with songs of newfound bliss.
The former approach is her forte, but the latter isn't very convincing. That doesn't mean that the happy tunes, partly inspired by her romance with her manager-fiance Tom Overby, are a bust. They're just not as affecting or as nuanced as her melancholic cuts, making Little Honey uneven. The flow of the 13-song set isn't as smooth as other Williams' albums, namely Car Wheels on a Gravel Road or last year's wounded West.
Part of the reason the upbeat songs feel somewhat forced is Williams' voice. It's not particularly flexible or versatile.
The album opens with the driving "Real Love," a standout "happy song." But most of the credit goes to the hot rhythm section. Williams ventures into familiar territory on the cry-in-your-beer ballad "Circles and X's," written more than 20 years ago.
On the dissonant "Little Rock Star," Williams bemoans the perils of fame. The song was reportedly inspired by the lives of Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty, but it feels shapeless. That's followed by the humorous, tongue-in-cheek "Honey Bee," perhaps the best rocker on the album. Williams sounds, a little sassy and raunchy.
But the sentiment turns sharp and bitter again on "Jailhouse Tears," a trashy soap operalike duet with Elvis Costello. As Little Honey crawls to a close, Williams never regains the momentum found midway. She's may not always be at the top of her game here. But whether she's down in the dumps or up in the clouds, Williams still manages to stand head and shoulders above most modern pop singer-songwriters.

"Picking five favorite books is like picking the five body parts you'd most like not to lose." Neil Gaiman
Asking someone to make a list of their five favorite books really is like asking someone to make a list of their five most essential body parts. Readers understand the parts are the whole, and every book we read is essential, and even if it isn't the best book one has ever read, part of it stays with us on a genetic and a spiritual level. I dared several friends to take the 5 Book challenge. Here's the first of several book lists you can expect to see here. This one is from my friend, Erin Lottier. She's a student at Lourdes University, the biggest Dr. Who fan I know, and really one of the nicest people you're ever going to meet.
1) I Heard the Owl Call My Name by Margret Craven I chose this book because it was the first book that I read in school that was not one of the "classics." I had no idea what to expect and I ended up absolutely loving it. It was the first time in a book that I was able to see, in my mind's eye, the scenery, the people, and so on. 2) To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee I chose this book because it was the first book that I liked to so much that I read it twice. I've only read two other books a second time, World War Z, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
3) American Gods by Neil Gaiman After reading nothing but primary and secondary source historical readings for upwards of 10 years, my introduction to Neil Gaiman lit a fire in my soul that I had long ago forgotten. American Gods was not the first Neil Gaiman book that I read, but it was by far my most favorite. 4) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams Do I really have to explain why? The whole series is great but the first book is probably my favorite. 5) World War Z by Max Brooks Having my degree in history, the way that this book is set up is so appealing to me. It is simply a series of interviews, stories told by the person who lived it. It reminds me of listening to old men tell stories of their days in the war. This book is not just about zombies, in fact the zombies are part of the background. This book is about the people who encounter the zombies and how they handle it. Some handle it like fucking badasses, some turn cowards, some see a boatload of money to be made, some simply break under the pressure of it all. This book is so wonderfully written. I mean that it tells the story of each person in such distinctly different voices. I can tell you what each person's voice sounds like, how they speak, if they have an accent, when they pause and for how long. There is no narration. There is no back story apart from the prologue. It is bare and simple and beautiful.

But it CAN be done with determination and perseverance.
Read below to find out the measures to getting your remote spouse to crack down their walls and also give your marriage another try. Tips For Saving Your Marriage
7 Ideas to Save Your Marriage On Your Own
#1. Stop
You've probably been in conflict mode for some time now. But always butting heads with your spouse has never worked and it's really time for you to change your approach. You are not in the front-line anymore.
It's time for you to quit battling and let yourself gain the power and resources you want to reevaluate the situation and try again. You need the time to clear your thoughts and regain your emotional resources.
Dwelling under continuous stress takes alot from you, and which makes you fight with despair instead than having reason and logic.
Consider repeating some self-loving affirmations to yourself throughout this time, such as: Tips For Saving Your Marriage
- "I love myself for who I am"
- "I'm a generous and kind person"
- "I have a lot to give to others"
- "I am a loving partner"
- "I'm a strong person".
#2. Identify what it is that is driving your marriage aside
Once you've self-soothed and calmed down enough in order to be in a position to feel clearly, it is the right time to think through the marital problems you are having and try to recognize the underlying reasons of these.
Identifying the sources for the difficulties in your marriage could be challenging, particularly if your partner is reluctant to open up and share her or his feelings with you.
However, you will find some things that you could do by your self to get started making the groundwork for fixing your marital troubles and finding out what is really upsetting your spouse.
Attempt to become more observant on what is going on between the both of you. When can it be that your better half seems to get the most angry or distant? Is there a important motif on your own arguments? A particular topic that keeps arising? For example, sex, money, housework, or even not feeling cared for?
Perhaps yours and your spouse's views about a topic are to do with gaps from the principles and lessons that you learned during your childhood experiences — or even only differences in your own personalities.
At this moment, it's also important to get intouch with your needs. What is it that makes YOU really angry or upset on your marriage? Why is this? What's you're needing from your spouse? Tips For Saving Your Marriage
It's important to understand what it is you're needing, so as to be in a position expressing these needs rationally to your spouse, with no firing guns like anger and contempt.
However, also bear in mind that as you're the person trying to save your marriage, you might require to put your spouse's needs at a higher importance to your own right now.
As soon as they have been back on board, then they will be considered a whole lot more receptive to comprehending and taking actions to meet your wants. However, for the time being, focus on listening and being receptive to what exactly your partner is needing from you.
#3. Listen to your spouse
When you have determined the root of the problems in your relationship, then it's time to try to start talk with your spouse about these problems, also listen openly from what they must mention. This is an essential part of the problem-solving process.
In order in order to cut back unwanted emotions towards one another and come to a solution or compromise, you have to have a step back and consider things in the spouse's perspective. Tips For Saving Your Marriage
The very first factor when approaching this situation would be to let your own defensive barriers down. Because when we are in defense mode, often a person's words become distorted by our emotions and biases.
Hearing out your spouse, even if it hurts, is probably one of the biggest challenges in conserving your marriage on your own. By doing so, you're opening yourself up to more potential ache — I's extremely difficult to know your defects and mistakes currently being pointed out to youpersonally.
But it really is critical that you are ready to hear all of what your spouse has to say, without retaliating, if you want to save your own marriage. Tips For Saving Your Marriage
Your spouse might be angry in this specific conversation, but in the event you're able to be strong and maybe not rise into their anger, eventually their fuse will wind up burnt out plus they are going to settle down enough to chat about things more logically. This really is an essential portion of the recovery approach.
So using a calm, soft and unprotected approach, ask your spouse to talk about her or his thoughts on the recent problems you're facing on your own marriage. Let them understand that you WANT to listen to everything they have to convey. Tips For Saving Your Marriage
When your partner is speaking, make an effort to identify what their own desires are which they believe are not getting satisfied. Are they really feeling neglected in some way? What's it that they believe so strongly of a certain issue?
Make sure you understand everything your spouse claims, and ask for clarification if you want it. For instance, ask them whether they can help you to help understand how something you can do (or don't do) helps make them feel.
Avoid blaming, judging or criticizing your spouse for what they have to say. Although you might think that a few things are unfair, there'll be a cause that your spouse is experiencing mad about it. None of us are perfect, and part of being at a marriage is ongoing personal development.
Sometimes we do things that annoy or damage the people close to us without even realizing it, plus it takes lots of courage to take this onboard. In a healthy marriage, the two partners have to be open to taking on each other's advice and also using it to turn into a better self along with relationship partner. Tips For Saving Your Marriage
If you find your spouse is wholly unwilling to talk even with trying different approaches, go straight to Step 4.
#4. Look at what's damaging the "we" part of your marriage
A marriage involves 3 components; the 'we', and that will be you and your spouse as a couple and the manner in which you relate with each other, the 'me', and that will be your self just as a individual and how you relate to yourself, and also the 'spouse', and that is your own spouse as a individual.
When seeking to save your marriage alone, you have the capacity to make positive impacts to either the 'we' and 'me' aspects of your marriage.
Primarily, concentrate on the 'we' part. Are there anything on your own lives at the moment that's working straight against the 'we' on your own marriage? Simply take in to account anything your partner has informed you're upsetting them. Tips For Saving Your Marriage
As an instance, maybe you now have contradictory work hours that have majorly reduced your own time with each other. Or perhaps you are under financial pressure due of credit card debt and overspending.
How could these road-blocks be reduced or removed? Are you in a position to be in a position to adjust your moves at work to become more compatible with your spouse, or even will a change in job be a feasible option?
Would you identify ways in that your household charges could possibly be decreased? Possibly you might get professional financial advice in the own bank in order in order to workout a manageable financial plan.
Along with the technical concerns, in addition, it is important to check at how the emotional wounds amongst you and your spouse could be treated.
Both you and your spouse have emotional needs which now aren't getting met. In order to try and save your marriage alone, you need to re-learn how exactly to meet with your spouse's psychological demands.
The trick to differentiating what your spouse's unmet psychological demands are lies in that which they have expressed to you throughout your marital conflicts and discussions.
For example, their complaints regarding your sexual life may be expressing which their demand for emotional affection is not getting fulfilled. A complaint about your lengthy work hours could be expressing that their demand for good quality time is perhaps not being satisfied.
Although the practical dilemmas in your marriage may possibly want to be addressed initially, you can start to devise a strategy as to the method that you can take little steps towards making your partner feel loved again, in the ways which they want. Tips For Saving Your MarriageTips For Saving Your Marriage
Since you are doing this, take into consideration what exactly that you are doing still love about your partner. Trying to fill yourself together with loving feelings, even inspite of the present turmoil in your marriage, may help you associate to your spouse better.
Think also about the things that have brought you closer together at the past, and how you could use similar strategies as of the time.
#5. Identify methods to improve the 'me' component of your marriage
The very next thing to do is to recognize what you can do to work to the'me' component. Whenever you make favorable changes to yourself, this has benefits for the 'we'. By learning how to relate solely to yourself better, you also learn to relate to your spouse better.
Firstly, by getting rid of any negative thought patterns or beliefs which have taken hold on your mind. As a way to be loved by others, we have to master to love ourselves first. When we don't love ourselves, we RELY on favorable feedback from other people to feel good about ourselves and keep up a optimistic self-image.
This is not a healthful way to be, because it means than when our close relationships are in conflict, our self image crashes. That means we've very little emotional tools to do the job well with and begin reacting from panic and desperation.
Self deprecating feelings will only take you along with your marriage back. In reality, what we believe about ourselves will become our reality. So in case you think that you're helpless, dull and unattractive, you will end up helpless, unattractive and boring.
But if you decide to dismiss these notions and alternatively pay attention to your own strengths and alluring attributes, such as for instance your caring character, excellent smile and very good sense of comedy, you will naturally start to develop into a more positive individual who many others want to be close to. Tips For Saving Your Marriage
At a marriage, it is crucial to constantly get your own goals and pursuits. Personal goals provide us a sense of goal in existence, and also help to keep us fulfilled and well-rounded as humans. Unfortunately, it isn't difficult to let those slip when you become wrapped up in everything that's going wrong on your own life.
Have a reasonable sense about what your relationship was just like when you and your spouse first got together. What were the things that brought your partner to you? What has she or he always mentioned they love about you?
You may possibly have improved old, however are you really still that exact person today? Do you still have those qualities? How can you enhance or develop your positive characteristics?
Are there some aspects of your own behavior, lifestyle, or physical appearance that you might improve? If you are always worried, exhausted, or never giving your body the nourishment it needs, you may drop the pieces of your self that the others love about you.
Probably it might be the time to consider a life style change. For example, a reduction or increase in work hours, a change to a healthier diet, taking up a brand new interest, or even giving up a lousy habit like smoking. Tips For Saving Your Marriage
#6. Prove your spouse you're serious about change
When you have taken a good look in the root reasons for your marital problems along with what's keeping you back from being the very ideal spouse you can be, so it's time to take action.
Whether there are really no instantaneous improvements you are able to make, get right onto making these occur. And come back to your spouse with some further suggestions of shift you have come up with, which you believe will benefit your own marriage.
If your spouse does not think these changes is likely to really make a difference, go on and begin making them anyway. Just by revealing your spouse how far you are willing to go to make positive impacts on your own marriage, you might just change their mind about if it could be saved. Tips For Saving Your Marriage
For example, say you've guaranteed to your spouse that you are going to lower down in your work or other outside obligations in order to be able to pay more quality time together with your family and doing chores at home.
Your partner will say that it's too late and this also won't really make a difference, however if they truly see you go ahead with it you will really take them by surprise — it make be those actions, as opposed to your own words, that'll finally make them believe.
#7. Stay positive
Attempting to conserve marriage alone may feel as if you're fighting a losing battle, but in case you just keep trying and don't give up, you are going to come to see success.
It's really important to remain positive and keep up hope. If your current approach isn't working, try a fresh one. Pull back just a bit or drive harder. Don't give up on trying to work out just what exactly is upsetting your spouse, since there may possibly be some thing you've overlooked.
The truth is, you may very well face resistance from your spouse along the way. But this doesn't indicate that part of these isn't still open into reconciliation. They simply desire more time, more persuasive and more solid proof of your commitment to saving your own marriage.
In the event you continue attempting to start dialog with your spouse in new ways, you will finally have a break through and also see that they eventually open up to you, or react to some thing you've done or said.
If a spouse remains responding with emotion, then take this as a good thing. It is once they become completely disengaged emotionally from the marriage that it turns into a whole lot tougher to win back their love.
Continue working on yourself, and keep a positive and springy perspective. This is important as it demonstrates your partner that you truly believe your marriage could be saved. And as you're fighting for the both of you right now, in case you give up, all of hope could be lost.
By doing everything that you can to try and rescue your marriage, you will grow as an individual and as a relationship spouse.
And by the end of the day, even in case you find that your marriage was not able to be salvaged, you will have the ability to benefit from the simple fact that you simply did every thing you can to try and save it on your own. There isn't going to be any regrets about giving up too soon. Tips For Saving Your Marriage

Dilbert is talking to a woman. She asks, "Are you a manager?" Dilbert responds, "No, I'm an individual contributor." The woman says, "So, basically, you have the same job description as an ant?" Dilbert responds, "I'd like to see an ant try to wear huge glasses like these!"

Plus, a 2015 study from the Annals of Internal Medicine showed that for those who have a hard time following a strict diet, simplifying the weight loss approach by just increasing fiber intake can still lead to weight loss. Women should aim for at least 25 grams of fiber per day (based on a 2,000-calorie) diet, according to the most recent U.S. Dietary Guidelines. Not sure where to start? Check out our step-by-step guide to increasing your fiber intake.
"It's easy to become impatient and frustrated when you're trying to lose weight and haven't seen the results yet. But be realistic – you won't see the affect overnight. Your brain's wiring plays a huge part in resisting changes in lifestyle, and it takes time to establish new habits – up to 12 weeks. Stick with it for at least eight weeks and you should notice a change."
Fantastic diet. I lost 10 lbs in 6 weeks, and my husband lost 15 (good numbers for us, since we were very close to our goal weights.) Unlike most diets, this one doesn't require you to cut out entire food groups so you don't get insane cravings or headaches or weird side effects. It's something you can do for much more than 6 weeks, and you don't feel too hungry while you're on it. It includes a full list of healthy meal plans, and some good recipes. The only alteration we made is to skip some o ...more
Whole foods include fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, whole grains, eggs, seafood, chicken and so on. Food philosophies may differ around which of these foods to emphasize, but that's okay, since the evidence shows that there isn't a single best way to lose weight. The goal is to select an approach that feels sustainable to you. If you can easily live without pasta, perhaps a low-carb method centered around veggies and quality proteins, like seafood, chicken, and lean beef would be a good fit. Vegans and vegetarians can lose weight by choosing fruits, vegetables, whole grains and plant proteins. Nut lovers may do well shedding pounds with a Mediterranean-style menu. Whatever diet appeals to your appetite and way of life, focusing on whole foods is something that all plans promote.
Obviously, it's still possible to lose weight on any diet – just eat fewer calories than you burn, right? The problem with this simplistic advice is that it ignores the elephant in the room: Hunger. Most people don't like to "just eat less", i.e. being hungry forever. That's dieting for masochists. Sooner or later, a normal person will give up and eat, hence the prevalence of "yo-yo dieting".
Shredding with PROSHRED Dallas Fort-Worth can be up to 25% cheaper than doing the work yourself. Those savings come from personnel time saved by not having to stand in front of the shredder, feeding a few sheets of paper at a time into the machine, after having removed all the paper clips, staples, etc. You also save on shredder machine purchases, repair and replacement!

The benefits of exercise, at least as far as weight loss is concerned, have a lot more to do with building (think: health, energy, confidence, muscle) than burning calories or fat, says Zach Moore, C.S.C.S., a fitness and lifestyle coach at Precision Nutrition, tells SELF. After all, Albers notes that exercise is linked to improved moods, stress reduction, and the "wow, my body's pretty cool!" attitude that you need to crush your goals.
On Monday, Steve Harvey announced he's joining Dr. Ian's Shredder Nation. The beloved multimedia comedian will be going on the plan for six weeks, documenting his weight loss on his nationally syndicated Steve Harvey Morning Show. Dr. Ian will appear on the show every Monday at 8:29 EST to talk about Harvey's progress while doling out diet tips to the listeners.
Lauren is concerned with what she puts in her body, and you should be too. That's why we'll tell you the ingredient in this supplement that might make it so effective. K Shred contains BHB. BHB is an exogenous ketone. Remember that ketones are what you want your body producing when you're on keto, so this is just a boost to that endgame. BHB stands for Bet-hydroxybutyrate in case you're curious or feel like looking it up to learn a little more.
Be choosy about carbs. You can decide which ones you eat, and how much. Look for those that are low on the glycemic index (for instance, asparagus is lower on the glycemic index than a potato) or lower in carbs per serving than others. Whole grains are better choices than processed items, because processing removes key nutrients such as fiber, iron, and B vitamins. They may be added back, such as in "enriched" bread.
Earlier, belly fat was considered healthy; it was perceived as a reservoir of adipose tissues that could be utilized when a person needed extra energy. With time, the views have changed. Researchers state that excess belly fat triggers chronic cardiovascular diseases. So, it is important to measure belly fat and check how much you need to reduce. Here are some parameters to measure your waistline.
Want to instantly burn more blubber in your workout? Research conducted at Brunel University found listening to your favourite tracks will increase your endurance by a massive 15 per cent. And if you really want to turn your weight loss up to 11, Social Psychological and Personality Science found that heavy bass increases your sense of personal power to help you get the most out of the gym.
Instead of piling everything on one plate, bring food to the table in individual courses. For the first two courses, bring out soup or veggies such as a green salad or the most filling fruits and vegetables. By the time you get to the more calorie-dense foods, like meat and dessert, you'll be eating less or may already be full. Nothing wrong with leftovers!
Eating patterns that restrict certain food groups can certainly help you lose weight, but many people find it hard to continue to eat that way forever. If you want to think of your diet like a relationship, you don't want to be in an "it's complicated" or "on-again, off-again" situation. You want to find your match — a meal plan you can feel content with for the long haul. That doesn't mean you have to ditch all of your favorite foods for eternity. It's okay to flirt with the foods that make you swoon, but you don't want to settle down with them. When your healthy habits are solid, enjoying your favorite foods sometimes is no big deal.
Once your muscle glycogen stores are full, they'll remain this way for days, as long as no other strength training is performed (because muscle glycogen is burned only during high- intensity exercise). Carbing up on Wednesday also gives you time to make adjustments. If you feel you look flat and small on Thursday or Friday, increase your carbs a bit. Bloated and soft? Cut them back a bit. Make adjustments by 25–50 grams at a time.
Watching that extra junk around your trunk turn your body into a full-blown Buddha belly puts you at an increased risk for heart disease, diabetes, and early death. Luckily, losing the weight doesn't have to take forever; with these 22 belly fat-fighting tips, you can shave two inches off your waistline in as little as two weeks. Think your age will stand in the way of your weight loss? The 20 Ways to Lose Your Belly When You're Older will help folks of any age get on track to their best body ever.

Hybrid Vehicle Maintenance, Repair and Concerns
kdhspyder Posts: 7,160It takes a while for the new tires to become 'broken in'. Many report significantly lower fuel economy after putting on new shoes. The tire is heavier because it has more tread and the thicker tread grips better ( more friction ). A temporary loss of 10% in fuel economy is not unusual.
Watch after 5000 miles.0
It is difficult for me to fathom how ANY drop in fuel economy could ever be TEMPORARY with the replacement of tires.
I would expect that loss to be permanent.
If the replacements are less efficient, then I would fully expect the drop to be permanent.
By less efficient, I mean in terms of rolling resistance.
I have seen estimates of from 2%, up to 25% of total fuel economy.
That indeed seems like a very wide varience.0
xkmail1 Posts: 3I have the gas receipts and mileage to show that statement about mpg coming up is false.
I have now over 5000 miles on my costco michelin x radials.
MPG when pulling in to replace tires, average 40-43mpg, straight highway driving at 60-65mph 43 constant, one trip to san diego from los angeles doing 60mph was 58mpg, 118 miles traveled about 2 gallons of gas.
The next tank 30mpg, now 4 months later over 5000 miles at 32mpg~.
On a 3000 lbs car the actual tire losing less than an ounce or two of weight has no scientific or practical reasoning to gain back 10mpg.
The costco michelins saved me about $150 over the dunlops.
Each tank of gas with the michelins is costing me $8 more, In 4 months I have allready lost my savings on the cheaper tire, and used up non-reusable natural resources.
The stock dunlops rock!
If I wasn't so broke I would go to americas tire and get the 4 stock dunlops.0
How might a person know if there is confusion here between Causation and merely Correlation? Maybe something happened to the car at the same time the tires were installed...in other words, maybe 2+2 =5 in this case? That's a formidable drop in MPG. Unless the replacement tires were a) much wider and b) put on MUCH larger diameter specialty wheels (which can really eat into MPG) I'm really surprised that this could happen just with a tire brand switch.
But live and learn. I guess you could switch back to original tires to prove or disprove the theory.0
galileo5 Posts: 10I saw Honda announce that, too, on its official press release, but from all the Insight test-drive reports I read online, they all say that it cannot run on electric-mode alone.
The gas shuts off on the Insight only when it comes to a complete stop or when you're rolling downhill.
That is the difference b/t a mild hybrid (Insight) and a full hybrid (Prius).0
My understanding of the Insight 2 system is that it is more-or-less identical to the current Civic system.
A cost-saving design.0

Stories from other Prius owners involving unintended acceleration are fairly common,
Isn't this a fine Audi-do...?
Any one have have personal experiences?0
There's always one part of these stories that I cannot accept---I can accept the idea of the car's accelerator getting stuck for whatever reason. I can even accept the car accelerating on its own possibly due to a faulty cruise control module, etc.
But I can't accept that people cannot stop the car by slamming on the brakes.
For this to happen would require the simultaneous failure of 2 or 3 systems on the car which are not directly connected to each other.
This part doesn't add up.
You will note that in the "reporter's story" he did in fact stop the car with the brakes and didn't hit anything. Even that story was kind of fishy, because he depicts himself casually pointing out to the salesman that the car is accelerating on its own. Maybe he's that cool under fire, I don't know.
Right now I'm thinking that yes, the cars might have a sticking throttle issue but that the driver's are stomping on the wrong pedal while in panic mode (which I myself might do--it's not a "fault" for the driver to do this).0
But I can't accept that people cannot stop the car by slamming on the brakes
That is because you have never had unintended acceleration. I have! It was in a 1980's Ford LTD. I had witnesses outside the car many of them. But I have long since refused to discuss it since everyone will call you a liar.
Oh and I had no floor mats in that car either. It's happened to cops, doctors, lots of people but having had it happen you get lumped in with people who have seen UFO's or seen Bigfoot.
The brakes do not work when the engine is at wide open throttle. Believe what you want. The auto industry has been covering up this problem for many many years.0
I wasn't at the scene, so I can't judge what really happened.
A car at WOT can be stopped in various ways, that's all I'm suggesting.0
A car at WOT can be stopped in various ways, that's all I'm suggesting.
Well I used to drag race and for a short while I did some stock car racing a few years before that as well as a handful of Demolition derby events (held on the infield) at the stock car track. So I think I have a good idea of what it takes to stop a car at WOT. But when you're out on the road, you've been hit bad and you are facing large trucks and cars coming at you as well as buildings. It's a whole different game. That's why I hate automatics to this day.
It's easy to say it doesn't happen but when it does it's bad and virtually everyone will call you a liar. Those Cop interceptors were pretty damn fast in their day, at WOT they were a handful. As I said plenty of witnesses and all were ignored. Thankfully the guy who hit me lived as did I.
You don't have time to turn the key or bang it into neutral, I know I tried, you need both hands on the wheel at that point.
I was finally able to spin the car out and hit neutral before I jumped out. Lots of witnesses. They all saw and heard what happened. The cops didn't take any statements from anyone and moved the car from the scene even tho it was at the side of a building not blocking anything.0

As I said reliving that moment is difficult for me. 2 people nearly died.
Believe what you want, it's not easy to stop a high HP automatic car at WOT.
It's off topic and I'm happy to drop it at this point.0
I remember I had a runaway while driving a '72 M-B 280SEL 4.5L.
The car was part of a recall. A little plastic bushing in a part of the accel linkage deteriorated and the throttle becamed jammed after I popped it during a test drive.
I immediately jammed hard on the brakes while noticing the cinder-block wall ahead becoming closer, and closer.
The front brakes locked, but the rear wheels continued to spin on the damp pavement. Onward and closer to the wall I sped.
Then, in a flash of panic, I reached forward and switched off the ignition.
The parking/emergency brake was of little use, as it was the old-type that required pulling on a handle.
Besides, if the V-8 engine was able to overpower the rear brakes, then the parking brake would not help at all.
The whole thing came to a stinking, smoking stop just yards short of the building wall.
I immediately ordered, and then replaced the neoprene bushing with the modified metal version.
I could hear my heart pounding in my ears. My breathing was short and checked.
It was a heck of an experience!0
Is the Prius completely electronic throttle or is there linkage? I don't have one to look at, at the moment, and I've driven them extensively but never much examined them mechanically.
I have still never heard an adequate explanation of how an electronically throttled car could go WOT from idle at a stoplight. That would be interesting to hear, as a theoretical problem, from an engineer who might know.
A mechanical throttle like your Benz would only stick as far as you stepped on it---although I could see a spring failure causing you to go WOT when you didn't want to.
But as you say, all you have to do is switch off the ignition. It's a good thing for everyone to practice actually. This is why race cars have a big red ignition shut off in easy reach.
The Prius power button isn't too hard to reach...if you remember to do it.0
jmt4 Posts: 1I have a Honda Civic Hybrid (2003). My air conditioner will quit cooling after about 20-30 minutes of driving. This is a sporadic problem and seems to occur more on a warm day. It will not cool again until the car has been off for an hour or more. Turning of the a/c for an hour while still driving does nothing.
I went to the Honda Dealership about 3 to 4 weeks ago. It did not fail for them and they tested the a/c - checking the freon, hoses, connections, and used their guages, etc. They recommended we try replacing a relay as they thought it might be overheating. They did not know if it would work or not. So, we tried that and it has not worked. They also said they did not know what it could be if the relay did not work. So, I'm not real confident about going back there. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Should I go to a different Honda dealership or try one of the local auto repair shops?0
You should take it to an AC specialist shop. Could be the expansion valve or the compressor could be freezing up. There are a number of good possibilities. The dealer's guess wasn't a very sensible one IMO.0
hpmctorque Posts: 4,600I agree with what you've said regarding unintended acceleration, shifty. One thing to consider, though, is if you kill the engine by shutting off the ignition you'd lose the vacuum boost on the power brakes.0
that is true but if you press down with both feet you can stop. It's just a lot harder...and most cars have a vacuum reservoir, so you get a few pumps anyway.0
I am purchasing a new Fit and my dealer is trying to sell me an Advent security system for $320, which he claims is at their cost. I'm not really sure what this low end security system does. I can upgrade this system to one that includes an alarm but is $800. I live near an area that has its share of auto thefts. Do I really need an additional security system with alarm or without? Or is this a ripoff? Or would the "standard security system with remote control" that comes with the car be enough?0
If your car is equipped from the factory with an immobilizer type of alarm & security system, these are highly effective (cuts theft about 65%) and I can't see anything else doing a better job UNLESS you install a GPS type of alarm/tracking system (cuts successful theft 95%).
If you are worried about contents INSIDE the car (sound system, etc) there is no defense against theft. They'll just break your window with a rock, and everyone ignores audible alarms.0
Thank you...I was told by the dealer that the car does not come equipped with any system that activates a horn or lights, which is what I think I need. I may need to spring for some type of system that makes noise or flashes lights.
Good point about the rock...0
if you have the immobilizer, I think that's all you need. Lights and sirens are really worthless, and I have read that 95% of all audible car alarms are FALSE alarms anyway.
Which is why everyone, and I do mean everyone, ignores them.
There are systems that page you if there's an incident. That seems more worthwhile.0
I am looking at the Honda.com website, and it lists a security system on the Sport model. Standard. Not $800, or even $350.
I have some 35 year-old Advent speakers. And I know they made a projection TV at one point, but I don't know of any alarm that is added on worth $800.
If they are going to charge you for some Mickey Mouse alarm system, then I might check into a Sport model. It does cost more that a base model, but in addition to the keyless entry/security system there is more car than a Fit w/o the alarm system.
Most insurance companies give a discount on your premium if the car has a passive, or active security system.
I would go with the Honda system, and forget about the HIGH-PROFIT add-on Advent "hodge-podge".
But then maybe it is allright. Only you will know a year down the road. But it WONT be covered by the factory warranty for the full term.
To discourage break ins, hide your stuff. Don't tempt them.
Between the base model, and the Sport, you pick up 2 more speakers, a USB port, cruise control, fog lights, alloy wheels, etc.0
I am sure my life is worth more than ANY Honda Fit. Forget the paging security systems.
Just hide your stuff, and hope for the best.
The immobilizer is standard on most cars. Maybe a Federal law. It is built into the key. It prevents the engine from starting. That is the minimum I would consider.0
Immobilizers work very well right from the factory.
As for paging, I was thinking that you could peek through the blinds and then call the cops, not confront anyone. That's pretty risky.0
igandalf2 Posts: 5I have a 2004 Civic Hybrid with 163,000 miles. I have taken it in for regular servicing, and has run fairly well. I have have one large issue with this vehicle. After about 30,000 miles I noticed the transmission was "slipping" when I would accelerate at higher speeds, typically above 55 mph. I took this to the dealer and paid for them to check it out and diagnose the problem, but to no avail. Finally after about 60,000 miles were on it (I drive about 30,000 miles per year) the dealer and I realized that this didn't happen after the transmission fluid was replaced. So to "fix" this we replaced the transmission fluid at shorter intervals (at my cost). Unfortunately, with the CVT they can only replace about 1/3 of the fluid at the time, so I would actually not have the fluid completely replaced until after 3 servicings, (At $85.00 a pop) This did, however, fix the issue. Aparrently, the older fluid was causing the issue. As the car got older, the transmission began making a quiet grinding noise. I paid to have the dealer check it out. They told me that this was "normal wear and tear". Recently, the noise became much louder. I took it to the dealer to check it out. I now need a new transmission at $3800.00. It only has 163,000 miles on it and it needs a new transmission! Whatever money I saved because of this hybrid's higher mileage, has been poured back into all the service that has had to be performed on this CVT Hybrid. I recently bought a Pilot. I sure hope this works out better... since I can't afford to replace the CVT just yet.0
Ah well, too bad, but you know, all things considered, 163,000 for a transmission is just about normal life span.0
jqtljr Posts: 1I have almost 128,000 miles on my Civic Hybrid (2003). I loved my car the first 3 years and I've hated ever since. Started with the same transmission problem that everyone else had ($1900 in repairs) and then moved on to the IMA battery being replaced ($2700 for that). All within 6 months. And of course the IMA replacement came 2 weeks after I lost my job. The battery came in a hazmat truck from California, which got me wondering, what happens to all these hybrid batteries? Are they going to end up in a landfill and cause more pollution?
Anyway, the car goes back in first thing in the morning because of a weird knocking noise it just started making today. I can't wait until I find a new job so I can unload this piece of crap and go back to a gas engined American car.0
I might have unloaded at 100K mi. When the extended warranty expired.
I plan on doing so on our Mariner hybrid, and the Prius too.
Time will tell. We will see.
I expect if your dealer/city deals with the battery responsibly it will be treated as it should be. Or it will be along the side of the road way out in the county.
As I said earlier, time will tell.
Best of luck!0
