Pet Cemetary: Landscaping ideas welcome!
I have 5 dogs and 2 cats buried between our henhouse and the side of the barn. I previously let the horses in here but I would like to make a little private garden. I would like to renovate the chicken house with either shingles or board and batten. I would also like to mark all the animal graves with some nice granite or flagstone and then plant lots of flowers around. There is a large apple tree on the neighbours side and I have planted raspberry bushes along the front fence. There is nothing else planted in here...yet. We used to keep the camper and tent set up here during the summer for the kids. You can't see this area from the house but you can a little from the road.

Brewers, D-backs starters out to reverse trends
Lohse aims for consecutive strong starts, Miley for first win since May
Brewers right-hander Kyle Lohse knows what to do. Now it's just a matter of actually doing it.
Lohse has developed a pattern in which he'll have a strong outing, only to follow it with a weak one the next time out. On May 21 he threw eight innings of one-run ball against the Braves, then gave up four earned runs on nine hits in 6 2/3 on the 26th against the Orioles.
On June 1 he needed just 93 pitches for a shutout of the Cubs, but he gave up eight earned runs in five innings five days later against the Pirates for his worst start of the season.
Lohse is coming off a strong outing against the Mets on Thursday in which he pitched eight of the 13 innings of a 5-1 victory with no earned runs and no walks.
"I did everything I came in wanting to do," Lohse said.
Now the task is to put together two strong outings in a row, with his start against the D-backs on Tuesday the next opportunity. The two teams matched up on Monday for the first of a four-game series, with the Brewers coming out on top, 9-3.
Wade Miley will take the mound for Arizona looking for his first win since May 10. In his most recent outing, against the Astros on Thursday, he gave up seven hits and four earned runs in five innings.
Miley is 3-6 with a 4.71 ERA on the season; Lohse is 7-2 with a 3.00 ERA.
Brewers: Gomez could be back in lineup on Tuesday
It took a sore hamstring to keep Carlos Gomez off the bases on Monday.
Gomez entered the week having reached safely in 30 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the Major Leagues and the eighth-longest such streak in Brewers history. Manager Ron Roenicke did not specify on Monday which leg was giving Gomez trouble but said it was more than a routine day off.
"He's a little sore. It isn't just the rest," Roenicke said. "I really had to give him today off. I'm hoping it's just today. He's available that I can use him, but I won't put him in to pinch-run or [for] defense."
Gomez's streak of reaching base is the Brewers' longest since Prince Fielder went 33 straight games in 2007. Monday marked only his seventh game out of the starting lineup this season.
"I'm feeling good," said Gomez, who didn't mention his hamstring issue. "Last couple of days, I've been feeling much better at the plate, but the last couple of weeks, we have a really tough schedule. We [travel] really late and your body feels really tired, but it's normal.
"I'm fine to play every day. I'm not the one that's going to tell the manager, 'I need a day off.' If he gives it to me, I'm going to take it, but I'm not going to ask."
D-backs: Kieschnick takes Arroyo's place on roster
Roger Kieschnick was called up on Monday to replace Bronson Arroyo, who went on the disabled list for the first time in his career with tendinitis in his right elbow.
Kieschnick played four games for the D-backs earlier in the season, from April 24-29, going 0-for-7. But at Triple-A Reno, he hit .280 with an .840 OPS. The nephew of former Major Leaguer Brooks Kieschnick, Roger was in the lineup on Monday, hitting eighth and playing left field. He got the D-backs on the board with an RBI single in the second inning.
"He's played great since he went back down to Triple-A. He played well before he came up last time -- he had a tough stay here the first time," manager Kirk Gibson said. "He's played well since he's been down there. You guys know what he can do. We hope that he benefited from his experience the first time; hopefully he can barrel some things and make some contributions."
• Ender Inciarte, who was placed on the seven-day concussion disabled list on Friday, is making strides toward a return.
"Last I heard, he has no symptoms, so he'll do some activity [on Monday], and then I believe he'll have to start taking the tests," Gibson said.
But Gibson isn't sure of the exact date Inciarte will return.
"Until they pass that test, they can't play," he said.
Worth noting
• The Brewers' No. 19 prospect, right-hander Jorge Lopez, threw seven scoreless innings for Class A Advanced Brevard County on Monday in a 1-0 victory over Dunedin.

Yu eyes Rangers series win at Angel Stadium
Rangers ace Yu Darvish is not a trash talker.
He never has been and he never will be.
But few would blame the right-hander if boasted about his success against the Angels.
Darvish is 4-1 with a 4.36 ERA in seven starts against the American League West rivals from Anaheim, where he is 2-1 with 2.11 ERA, the fifth-lowest ERA of any Rangers pitcher with at least three starts at Angel Stadium.
"I don't care who I face, I just try to make the best pitches that I can," Darvish said. "I don't know my ERA against this team, but I don't feel uncomfortable facing them."
Darvish began the season by coming within one out of a perfect game against the Astros, but he did not fare nearly as well in his next two starts, allowing a combined six runs in 11 innings in starts against the Angels and Mariners. He rebounded in start No. 4 with seven dominant innings in a 7-0 victory over the Mariners on Friday.
"He looked normal to me," Rangers manager Ron Washington said of Darvish's second and third starts. "He said he was off, but I never thought he was off. He was trying to find his comfort zone but he was still getting outs. That's all that matters to me."
Opposing Darvish, the Angels will send rookie reliever Michael Roth to the mound in place of Tommy Hanson, who is on the bereavement list.
"It's going to be a staff day unless Michael Roth goes and gets through six innings," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said after the 5-4 walk-off win that evened the series and snapped the Rangers' four-game win streak on Tuesday night. "It doesn't have to be, but I think we can back him up with some guys if we have to do. I think he's a good candidate, and it gives us more options where we can use Jerome [Williams] if we have to."
Roth, 23, is 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA in five innings this season. He's walked one batter and struck out seven in four games but has not pitched more than two innings in an outing.
"My arm feels good. I haven't thrown out of the 'pen on back-to-back days yet," Roth said. "I think I'll be all right. My last start in Double-A was five innings. I'm just going to go out there inning by inning, as cliché as that sounds. Go out there and have some fun."
It's been a meteoric rise for Roth. He was in rookie ball last year and started this season at Double-A Arkansas.
"I wouldn't have thought it, you wouldn't have thought it, but that's what it is right now," Roth said. "I'm excited to go out there and hopefully put the team in a position to win."
Rangers: Great catch sidelines Baker
Texas will likely be without utility player Jeff Baker for at least a couple of days with a bruised right knee. Baker injured the knee making a terrific sliding catch on Josh Hamilton's long fly ball in the first inning on Tuesday night.
Baker made the catch along the foul line and then slid hard into the wall. He had to come out of the game.
"It's bruised up pretty good but nothing severe," Baker said. "A couple of days to let the swelling go down and I should be ready to go."
Baker started because there was a left-hander on the mound for the Angels. Left-handed-hitting David Murphy took over in left when Baker came out. The Rangers are not scheduled to face another southpaw until Friday in Minnesota.
• The Rangers have been in first place in the AL West for 469 of the last 505 days in the regular season, dating back to June 8, 2010. They have been in the top spot for 182 of 204 days since the start of the 2012 season.
Angels: Trumbo is on a roll
Mark Trumbo went 2-for-5 on Tuesday and has at least one hit in 16 of his 19 games this season. He also has seven doubles.
• The Angels recalled left-handed pitcher Nick Maronde from Arkansas and optioned infielder Tommy Field to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
"There's no doubt that we've gone through a lot of pitching with the extra inning game in the Detroit series and [Monday]," Scioscia said. "You need that fresh arm at times, and this is one of those times."
• Twenty-two of the club's first 32 games this season are against teams that made the playoffs in 2012.
Worth noting
• Angels outfielder Mike Trout has two home runs off Darvish. He and Blue Jays first baseman Edwin Encarnacion are the only players who have hit two home runs off the Texas ace.

What happened to the SVGA gallium driver?
I've been using it instead of VMware's classic driver for a month now, and a couple days ago, after doing a git pull on mesa head, the ./configure --enable-gallium-svga is no longer an option. In fact it seems a lot of the --enable options have disappeared.
Did I miss something?
After using the gallium driver for about a month, the classic vmware driver seems like molasses in comparison. I almost get the impression the classic driver is no better than a software vesa driver.

After removing the lists feature, Google Bookmarks updated the interface to match all the other Google services. It's nice to see that Google Bookmarks still exists, but the service only integrates with Google Web History and Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer. The integration with Google search has been removed, now that Google focuses on Google+, and the Android ICS browser uses the bookmark sync service from Chrome.
Google will have to find a way to merge Google Bookmarks with Chrome's bookmark sync. Google Toolbar could show the bookmarks saved in Chrome, while Google Bookmarks could be a web interface for Chrome's bookmarks. Unfortunately, Chrome uses folders, while Google Bookmarks uses labels, so merging the bookmarks is not an easy task.

A New York Times Notable Book
An NPR Best Book of 2012
These eight powerful stories, dazzling in their display of language and imagination, show a celebrated short-story writer and novelist grappling with the great questions of modern life.
From the title story, a provocative portrait of two marriages inspired by Raymond Carver's masterpiece, to "Peep Show" and "How We Avenged the Blums," two stories that return to the author's classic themes of sexual longing and ingenuity in the face of adversity, these stories affirm Nathan Englander's place at the very forefront of contemporary American fiction.
Excerpted from What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank by Nathan Englander. Copyright © 2012 by Nathan Englander. Excerpted by permission of Vintage, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
Nathan Englander's short fiction has appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and numerous anthologies, including The Best American Short Stories and The O. Henry Prize Stories. Englander is the author of the novel The Ministry of Special Cases and the story collection For the Relief of Unbearable Urges, which earned him a PEN/Malamud Award and the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
Q: Your debut short story collection, For the Relief of Unbearable Urges, was a national bestseller in hardcover and paperback, winner of the PEN/Malamud award, and drew comparisons to Chekhov and Malamud. In 2009 you published a novel, but with WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ANNE FRANK you're back to the short story form. How does it feel?
A: How does it feel to be back to stories? It feels fantastic, is how it feels. I love this form. And I say that, not just because we're talking about a collection, and not only because stories need extra championing for the incomprehensible-to-me fact that there's a much smaller segment of fiction-reading folk that are willing to give a collection of stories a chance. I say it because, as both reader and writer, I have always had a deep-deep connection to the short story. I could go on pretty endlessly talking about spring-loaded forms, and what it takes to build a complete world in that space, how a story can leave you with that transformative wind-knocked-out-of-you moment if everything is just right (and I say 'just right' as the faux-epiphany is a gravely dangerous short-story fallback, and there's a very thin membrane that separates the two experiences, which is, again, another reason why I love writing them. It's surgical and delicate and so easy to go wrong). What I'd like to make clear, simply, is that when I fell in love with books, I fell in love with the short story. There are so many great stories that have changed who I am, and how I see the world—that have, at this point, woven themselves into my very being. I don't know how to explain it better than to say, go read Babel's "The Story of My Dovecot" which I reference in the book, or Grace Paley's "Goodbye and Good Luck", or Cheever's "Goodbye, My Brother", or Gogol's "The Overcoat" or "The Nose" and you will be changed forever—and then you will know what I mean.
Q: The title story, which was published in The New Yorker on 12/12, is fashioned after Raymond Carver's "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love". Can you describe how that story inspired yours?
A: I've had that story in my head for years and years—the image of those two couples, and that dark game. As it took shape in the imagining, as I saw the pantry, say, or the house in which the story is set, I was also quite suddenly interested in ideas of ownership and inspiration and in exploring a different kind of writerly ease or comfort (and, trust me, the ideas of 'comfort' and 'ease' are groundbreakingly new for me, and of possibly fleeting interest). And I thought, I have two couples coming together in this way, what if I marry it to my own version of Raymond Carver's very-iconic story. And—it's important to stress (though I can't tell you exactly why, except that it feels important)—that I didn't go back to the Carver book until I was well into the drafting of my story. I think it's because I've become really interested in how we make stories our own, literally how memory forms around them. So it was more, my personal memory of the Carver story—what it had turned to in my brain—that was the inspiration. When the story had taken form, and I felt committed to that literary-echo, I went back and reread the Carver story, and made my quiet links between the two. As for the game in the story—that crazy, who-will-hide-me-game—it's a real game that, as the story says, is very much not a game. It's dead serious business. And I've been playing it with my sister for as long as I can remember. And, if you ever try playing it, you'll see. People take the game real seriously. I just saw a friend in from Berlin last night, a friend I hadn't seen in years, and she'd read the story in The New Yorker and she said, do you remember when we played that in Germany? She said, she'd looked at her children and—honestly considering the peril hiding us would put them in—thought, No, I couldn't hide you, it's too much to ask. And then she said she'd looked at my girlfriend and me, and knew that she would. I had no memory of the evening, or the interaction. But how serious is that? How raw? And, I can trace the kernel of the story to a time my sister and I played that game, now twenty years ago. It stayed in my head from then. And my sister gave me her blessing to acknowledge that she is the one who put it there—that, in our family, it is her game. The only thing she asked that I stop doing is calling her "my older sister" when I discuss it. So, yes, it's my sister's game.
Q: You're a bit of a renaissance man! In addition to the new short story collection, you also have two translations forthcoming ('The New American Haggadah' with Jonathan Safran Foer and 'Suddenly, a Knock on the Door' with Etgar Keret) and a play—opening at the Public Theatre in NYC in the fall—based on your story "The Twenty-Seventh Man". Can you tell us a bit about how translation and playwriting are different from writing fiction? Which do you prefer?
A: Ha! A renaissance man. That's up there with being a raconteur, but still shy of being a man of letters. I have to say, it's still strange to answer a question like the one above. I see myself as someone who publishes a book a decade and then heads back down into the salt mines in between. But something snapped a couple of years back. I decided to engage with storytelling differently. And the ability to make that change, or to learn the lessons I've learned, is because of the play and the translations. It goes like this: Fiction is my life. My whole sense of self, and self-definition, is as a fiction writer. And that's why these other projects have been so revolutionary for me. I spent the last several years utterly absorbed in crafts in which I had no experience, and no reference points, where the stakes—the artistic challenges, the demands—were just as high, but around which had not formed any understanding of myself or the world, any sense of expectation or identity. And they simply helped me to explore the psychology of writing—and so much of it is psychological—in a different way. Here I am with two translations coming out, and I'd never call myself a translator. And, when doing things for The Public Theatre, I still stutter when they make me call myself a playwright out loud. I have one rule for writing, and that is, there's nothing but the story. The other projects helped me to grasp that in a whole new way.
Q: These eight stories draw on a variety of themes from Jewish history and culture. To what extent does your own religion influence your writing?
A: Oh, I'm always getting in trouble with this question. Because, well, how can you have a book that is so chock full of Jews and say what I'm about to say, which is, I don't see any religious influence at all. If anything, I'd call it a cultural influence. Basically, every fiction writer—every last one—is influenced by his or her culture, whether it's the embracing of it, the rejection of it, a running toward or a running from. And no matter how distant the setting of a story is from the reality in which a writer lives—say, a science-fiction writer building a futuristic alien society unlike any that has ever been—that creation, too, is deeply influenced by the worlds that he or she has known. How does that relate to your question? I'm Jewish, I was raised religious in a very insular community, I lived in Jerusalem for a bunch of years (after turning secular), and spent nearly my whole life in New York (where we have no shortage of Jews). So to me, the idea of seeing my writing about a Jewish world, or a Jewish character, as being somehow the product of "influence" is basically like asking any other writer across time and space, how has living your life on this earth formed your imagination—which is a very fair and lovely question, but doesn't need any qualification beyond that. It is not defensively, as a Jewish writer, that I explain this, but as a writer in defense of the universal. What I'm saying is that, yes, these stories may be deeply Jewish in their setting, but all stories must be deeply something if they're functioning. If they're not also, at the same time, as truly universal as they are specific, then those stories aren't functioning at all.
Q: The story "Sister Hills" chronicles the growth of a Jewish settlement at various points in time, from 1973 to 2011. The settlements are a hot topic. What is your opinion on them and what sorts of conversations do you hope people will have after reading this story?
A: I have strong opinions about Israeli politics, the settlements included. And, like anyone who has spent a considerable amount of time living there, I feel sure that I'm right (which, I can't even let stand as a joke, because half the problem in both Israeli politics and our toxic American political landscape, is this creepy-creepy surety that folks display, an unwillingness to hear, empathize with, or humanize another side—which, if there are actual people on that side, invariably means they must be humans). If you're starting to sense that I'm not going to take a stand here, you're right. I'd be happy to in another context. But you're asking about "Sister Hills," you're asking about a story. And, in that case, it's very simple. My obligation, when writing (as I've already said above), is always to the story itself. It does not work, in a story like this, if I'm trying to be didactic, or convince, or espouse. My only goal when writing is to, quite literally, turn selfless. To inhabit, fully, those characters. To listen, wholly, to the demands of that world. I have to say, of any story I've ever written, this was the one that felt the most emotionally draining upon finishing. That is, I was truly and honestly rattled. I did not know what I had. I did not know what I'd done. I do remember that I did not sleep that night. As for the conversations folks will have after, I don't have any idea what those will be (and am simply grateful if they take place). I'm fairly nervous to see how this one will be received. I do know, from the few folks who have seen it early, and spoken to me directly, it's functioned as a sort of West-Bank Rorschach test. One person will say, "You see, this is why Israel needs to get out of the West Bank," and another will say, "Do you see? This is why Israel must maintain a presence." You can't believe it's the same story being read. Of all the feedback, I've been most thankful for the responses-literary that deal with the story itself.
Q: What is your writing process like? How long did it take you to write each of these stories? How many drafts do you go through?
A: Well, I'm glad you asked me this question and not my friends and my family. As I'd say, my writing process is one of great calm, during which I'm always happy-go-lucky and in good spirits. What I've learned over the years is that the specifics of the process are ever changing, and the cycles of the process are always the same. It's almost a reflex to call myself a compulsive redrafter. With both the novel, and the first collection, I'd rewrite parts endlessly, over a period of years. I had a completely different experience with this book. I held the stories in my head, sometimes for a great long time, waiting, in a way, until the stories were already written. And then I copied them down. As for the cycle part—and this is, really, maybe where you should get my friends on the phone—after I finish writing a piece, I inevitably erase from memory what happened when writing it. I just think, Well that was fun. Or, isn't it nice to have this finished story? And I forget, say, that every time I start, I feel forlorn, or panicked, or like the world is coming to an end. I forget that there's always a day that feels painfully lost, or a week where the written page doesn't yet tune to the emotional frequency in my head. But none of that time is wasted, not a second of it. That is, in fact, how the work gets done. It is a writing process. Which means, by definition, one can't start at the end. But once I'm in the late stages, the early ones, every time, are totally forgotten. And that's why experience helps, time passing by. As here I am telling you about that part of the process that I inevitably forget, because I'm already trying to comfort myself for the moment when I'm digging into the next book with great urgency and suddenly feel like the sky is crashing down. I will feel that way—I absolutely will. It's just part of finding voice, finding traction. And yet, as I write it, I don't believe it still.
Q: What's next for you?
A: There's a novel set in Jerusalem that I've been wanting to write for years (which means I've been secretly working on it in my underground lair). And I think, after being back in the States for more than a decade, that maybe it's time. The distance is there. And, as said, I've really been changed by those other projects. So I've got another play or two or three that I'd really like to work on, and a bucket of short stories that I'd really like to lock myself in a room and write. I'm excited about a whole lot of things.
"Showcases Mr. Englander's extraordinary gifts as a writer." —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"I'm in love. For evidence that collections can be just as satisfying, read as deep, if not deeper, and beat with as much life and insight as a hulking novel, look no further." —Elissa Schappell, Vanity Fair
Audacious and idiosyncratic, darkly clever and brightly faceted." —San Francisco Chronicle
"Terrific. . . . When is a short story mightier than a novel? When its elisions speak as loudly as its lines. Englander knows where to hold back, a particular gift when writing about and around the martyr of his title, the locked up and locked in. A kind of hard-won wisdom spills out on every page." —Stacy Schiff, The New York Times Book Review
"Imaginatively powerful. . . . What makes the stories resonate long after their final paragraphs is Englander's odd coupling of the morally serious and the deliciously comic. . . . His second collection of short stories more than fulfills the large promises of his first. What do we do when we talk about Englander? We talk about how he has become a master storyteller." —The Miami Herald
"Humane, philosophically provocative. . . . Each story in the book is essentially a parable, and Englander's special talent is to burnish his parables with a patina of persuasive realism. . . . Characters tell (and re-tell) stories within stories, and seek to understand themselves by means of narrative, in a way that seems quintessentially, satisfyingly Jewish." —Boston Globe
"Englander is at his best. . . . He never writes less than gorgeously, but when, from narrow confines, he puts his finger on the universal, he's Shakespeare." —Bloomberg News
"Nathan Englander is a master at putting remarks into the mouths of ordinary people that distill entire streams of politics and religion. . . . They ring true and are a funny, chilling, joy to read." —The Plain Dealer
"Profound and magical. . . . These eight masterful stories also continue the work of Philip Roth, Saul Bellow and Bernard Malamud—authors who mined the Jewish-American experience with tremendous humor, humanity and healthy amounts of guilt." —USA Today
"What Englander is saying is that we know ourselves, or don't, on different levels, that we exist individually and as part of a heritage. . . . Who will hide us? Who are we, really? How do ritual and culture intersect? Such questions exist at the heart of this accomplished collection, in which stories are what make us who we are." —Los Angeles Times
"Nathan Englander writes the stories I am always hoping for, searching for. These are stories that transport you into other lives, other dreams. This is deft, engrossing, deeply satisfying work. Englander is, to me, the modern master of the form. And this collection is the very best." —Geraldine Brooks
"Grade A. . . . Virtuosic. . . . Each of these meticulously chiseled stories contains a hidden stinger that throws the reader for a wicked loop. . . . These are stories that give you goose bumps." —Entertainment Weekly
"Englander's latest short story collection marks him out as one of the finest American writers of his generation." —Financial Times
"It takes an exceptional combination of moral humility and moral assurance to integrate fine-grained comedy and large-scale tragedy as daringly as Nathan Englander does." —Jonathan Franzen
"The stories are so tightly wrought, the sentences laid out so cleanly, the dialogue so real and the humor so self-lacerating. . . . If Mr. Englander is in fact the future of Jewish-American prose, then that future looks to be a far more moral and compassionate one than the writing of the recent past. . . . the humor and the brilliance, and the investigation of cultural identity, are all still there." —The New York Observer
"What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank is Nathan Englander's wisest, funniest, bravest, and most beautiful book. It overflows with revelations and gems." —Jonathan Safran Foer
1. The narrator of the title story suggests that his wife's preoccupation with Holocaust survivors is excessive. "And Deb has what can only be called an unhealthy obsession with the idea of that generation being gone. Don't get me wrong. It's important to me, too. I care, too. All I'm saying is, there's healthy and unhealthy, and my wife, she gives this subject a lot, a lot, of time." How do you feel about this? Later, the narrator suggests that Deb was disappointed by the story about the two survivors meeting years later in the locker room in Florida because she was expecting something that would "reconfirm her belief in the humanity that, from inhumanity, forms." What does it mean to have an unhealthy obsession with the Holocaust? How do you feel about Deb as a character?
2. Yerucham and Shoshana used to be called Mark and Lauren, before they became ultra-Orthodox. Early in the title story, though, Shoshana confides, "We still get high. . . . I mean, all the time," and that, in relation to traveling with drugs, "it's pretty rare that anyone at customs peeks under the wig." What do you think Nathan Englander's point of view is about religious Orthodoxy? What point is he trying to make?
3. Appearance and reality, secrets and hidden truths, are themes in the title story. These are approached comically, at first, when Deb and her husband discuss Trevor, and the discovery Deb had made and kept a secret. "But he's the son. . . . I'm the father. Even if it's a secret with him, it should be a double secret between me and you. I should always get to know—but pretend not to know—any secret with him. . . . That's how it goes. . . . That's how it's always been. . . . Hasn't it?" What is at stake here? Why does the narrator suddenly feel "desperate and unsure"? What fears are gathering force in this moment?
4. The idea above—the possibility that we don't know our spouses, or even ourselves, and that perhaps our lives are something quite other than what we believe them to be—is echoed with powerful, indeed tragic, implications at the story's conclusion. Discuss the terrible parlor game the couples play in the story's final pages. What do the couples learn about one another? About themselves? How does this change your understanding of each character and the portraits the author had painted of them in the story's opening pages?
5. The story "Sister Hills" is divided into four discrete sections. Why? Discuss how the story's structure relates to its themes.
6. "Sister Hills" can be read as a political allegory based on the story of a bargain struck in order to save the life of a critically ill child. In this reading, who or what does the child represent, and what meaning can be inferred from the exchange of money? What is the relevance of the two mothers?
7. Rena changes dramatically over the course of "Sister Hills." Describe her journey and discuss the difference between her true relationship with Aheret and the way the young couple perceive the nature of their relationship at the story's end. What point is the author trying to make through his use of irony here, and how does this irony relate to the story as a whole?
8. What statement, in "Sister Hills," is the author trying to make about the history of the Israeli settlements? What do you think the author believes about their cost? About their fate? Look in particular at pages 64 to 66, where Rena discusses with the rabbis the nature of a contract, both symbolic and real, and the nature of justice.
9. How does the story of Masada relate to the story of Zvi Blum and the bully known as the Anti-Semite in "How We Avenged the Blums"?
10. On page 88 of the story above, Englander writes, "We weren't cohesive. We knew how to move as a group but not as a gang. We needed practice. After two thousand years of being chased, we didn't have any hunt left in us." What does he mean? How is he suggesting Jewish history relates to the fate of these neighborhood boys and their plight?
11. "How We Avenged the Blums" concludes with a powerful image of a circle of boys clustered around the Anti-Semite, and the narrator's unexpected insight about the nature of helplessness and power, dignity and victimhood: "As I watched him, I knew I'd always feel that to be broken was better than to break—my failing." What does he mean? And why does he consider this his failing?
12. At the start of "Peep Show," Allen Fein reflects on his transformation. "He had only wanted a peep. He'd gone up the stairs a loyal husband and lover, a working man on his way home to the burbs. And now, minutes later, a different man emerges: a violator of girls and wives and matrimonial bonds." Then, when the partition rises and unexpectedly reveals a rabbi, Allen muses: "Where the rabbis are involved, there is always a path to be followed. Either you stay on it or you stray into darkness: This is the choice they offer. And, much as Allen feels bitter and lied to for all these years, he half wishes he could live in their realm, where a man is religious or he is not, a good husband or bad." How are these two moments related? What is the author saying about the nature of identity, morality, and truth?
13. How is "Everything I Know About My Family on My Mother's Side" different from the other seven stories in this collection, thematically and tonally? Did you feel it was more personal, intimate? Why do you think the author chose to narrate this story in the first person?
14. "Camp Sundown" is a story about vigilante justice undertaken by a group of geriatric campers at a bucolic summer retreat. Discuss the author's views on guilt and innocence. Look in particular at the passage on page 166, where one of the campers confronts the director and implores, "It's your choice, Director. You take one crime to bed with you every evening; take a second one tonight." What is happening in this scene?
15. What do you think the director should have done in "Camp Sundown"? What should the campers have done? Why?
16. "The Reader" is an exploration of the relationship between authors and readers. Is there a social contract between writers and readers? What is an author's responsibility to his or her reader?
17. Discuss the contrast between the narrative form of "Free Fruit for Young Widows," in which a father is lovingly recounting a story to his son, and the story's actual substance. How does this dissonance contribute to the story's power? What is the significance of the comment Etgar's father makes when Etgar is twelve: "Do you want to know why I can care for a man who once beat me? Because to a story, there is context. There is always context in life."
18. In "Free Fruit for Young Widows" Englander distinguishes between two kinds of survival, saying that Professor Tendler "made it through the camps. He walks, he breathes, and he was very close to making it out of Europe alive. But they killed him. After the war, we still lost people. They killed what was left of him in the end." What does he mean?
19. At the heart of several of these stories is the relationship between religious orthodoxy and contemporary American culture. How do you think the author views religion and issues of faith and belief?
20. The title story, "Sister Hills," and "Free Fruit for Young Widows" all pivot around incidents within Jewish history, and the question of how essential stories—stories that define us, that shape both our understanding of the past and our vision of the future—are told and retold over the course of many years. What do you think Englander is suggesting about history, tradition, and storytelling itself?
21. Many of the stories in this collection are comic in tone, despite the tragic nature of Englander's dramatic predicaments. How does humor serve the author's intentions? How does it express his view of life?

Great to see them embracing it.
Phoronix: Btrfs System Rollbacks In Fedora 13
One of the benefits of Btrfs besides offering competitive performance against other Linux file-systems and SSD optimizations is its support for sub-volumes and writable snapshots. While Btrfs is still in development and is not yet used as a default file-system by any Linux distribution, Red Hat has been looking to capitalize upon the capabilities of Btrfs by introducing support for system rollbacks into Fedora. The Btrfs-based system rollback support has been a feature for Fedora 13 so with the release of the Fedora 13 Beta earlier this week we decided to further investigate this feature.
Great to see them embracing it.
Do these snapshots store the entire filesystem or only a diff to what has changed since the previous snapshot? A diff would be better because it would save space. I think that's what Apple's Time machine does.
By the way, how far is Redhat from making a competitor to Apple's Time Machine with this BRFS rollback?
I believe btrs snapshots are essentially the same as ZFS, so when you write to a file which exists in a snapshot the old data block is left in the snapshot and not freed. Hence if you have a snapshot with 20GB file and later update a 4k block in that file, then only that 4k block has to be stored in the live copy of the filesystem... for the rest of that 20GB file it will read the same blocks that exist in the snapshot.
Or if a cosmic particle changes some bits in the main part, all rollbacks are screwed.
Also unless otherwise defined Btrfs snapshots are very similar to normal Btrfs subvolumes and can be written on.
I'm gonna miss ZFS when Oracle screws Sun up, but assuming btrfs is COW and does checksums for each block (and has nifty stuff like integrated compression, share(nfs|smb|iscsi), et al.) I guess I'll survive..
ps: does btrfs have integrated dedup? OpenSolaris ZFS has it IIRC.. At least for the time being..

I developed a seizure disorder when I was 18, having multiple seizures a day. I was unable to be left alone, drive, work, or basically do anything with out supervision. My neurologist put me on Keppra immediately. At first I continued having seizures while on the medication. My doctor kept upping the dose. Finally when I reached 2000mgs/day 1000 in the am and 1000 in the pm I stopped having seizures. Unfortunately I was exhausted all the time. I would take it in the morning and then three hours later would need a 4-5 hour nap. Needless to say this disrupted my life just like the seizures were. I could now go unsupervised, but basically did nothing but sleep. It was a miracle to not have seizures anymore, but sleeping all the time wasn't a solution either.
If you find that some of the ratings are all 4 or 5, everyone I have spoken to has side effects. Be careful not to believe unbelievable ratings. You never know who works for companies, and some of the ratings may be put there as subliminal advertising. This is a balancing decision - whether you are prepared to tolerate the drugs side effects, or suffer seizures. It is awful and just awful for people who you are living with too. Everyone needs to read about what to expect from being on Keppra. There are vitamins that help relieve them - B12, and something called Ex-Stress, but it will be hard to live with. Nothing in life doesn't have a price to pay for the good it does, but it still works better than any other drug I have ever been prescribed, so I will carry on taking it, even though there will be more tears and anxiety than I used to have to live with. God bless you, whoever you are.I take 2 500mg tablets morning and night and have been on Keppra with Lamotrigine for 2 months now.
At first it is brilliant - it simply stops seizures. It seems like a miracle drug but the side effects get worse and worse as time goes by. It takes a few weeks until the moods and anxiety get dreadful to cope with. Extreme depression and tearfullness get worse each day. It is bad for people who live in the same house, and provokes arguments and emotional distress. Keppra makes you very tired, even falling asleep approximately 5 hours after taking it. By the time the side effects become very bad, you have got used to not having seizures and it would be awful to choose between going through the side effects, and going through the seizures. I have chosen to tolerate the side effects, but the miracle of the drug stopping the seizures is not there any longer. Generally difficult to balance but take vitamin B12 and it relieves side effects quite well. Good luck to anyone suffering, hope your families will understand your plight.
I havent had a siezure since Ive been taking Keppra.Never had any side effects.This is wonderful.
I have used Keppra in conjunction with Dilantin to control my seizures since 2004. In 2003 I had two seizures caused by a brain tumor, a meningioma, and it is a great drug. Since it has become available in generic form I do not believe it is as costly as indicated.My side effects are minimal occasional blurry vision usually mid-afternoon, . I do take Vitamin D supplements in conjunction with Keppra. Since I get my drugs from the VA there is only a nominal cost
Hi im Terry. i have tryed a lot of other meds for my seizures nothing worked and all made me sick . The doctor put me on keppra it helps me somewhat . I also think that this medication should be at the top of the list to be used first.
If you have complex partial seizures ask your drs about Keppra along with Vimpat. Vimpat 100mg in am & pm Keppra 500mg which in my case was increased up to 2 1/2 pills in am and pm. (Keppra by itself did not stop seizures) While I was on Keppra alone I was having small memory loss. Could not remember anything when I came to. Vimpat changed everything. While on Keppra alone I was driving to work and ran into the back of someone - had a seizures and kept going. I had no idea 10 min after the fact what had happened. The front of my car was bashed in and I had no idea what had happened because I had a full blown complex partial seizure. Had to hire a lawyer so I would not be given a ticket for Hit & Run. All charges were dropped because I had all medical records from dr. If you have Complex Partial Seizures do not drive.
For those of you on Keppra ask your drs about Vimpat given along with Keppra. My husband was diagnosed with Complex Partial Seisures and was put on Keppra 500mg 2 1/2 in morning and 2 1/2 at night along with 100mg in am and 100mg at night He has been himself since the dr added this new drug called Vimpat. When he was on keppra which we had to have increased several times. He was still having black outs with his memory. We were getting scared nothing was going to work. The last time in with his dr. he added 100 mg in am and pm. Totally a different person - himself. Yes he still feels tired at times but thats the trade off. When he was on Keppra by itself he would cry for no reason. Very Emotional. Vimpat changed all that. We also went to Emory in Atlanta and they agreed Vimpat was a good choice. I am hoping we can reduce the mg of Keppra and keep Vimpat. That will be our next question to dr. If you don't have insurance Vimpat is very expensive. But worth every penny.
When I first started taking Keppra, I became very agitated and drowsy. My personality changed and I was convinced I hated this medication. Over time my body adjusted and the only side affect that I can see is that I still become very agitated very easily. This is the only drug that helps me that doesn't affect my liver. That means more than me being a little agitated.
After four brain surgeries, I had nerve damage, and siezures my Neurosurgeon presribed Keppra and so far I have not had another siezure, been taking for 6 weeks

Virginia Senate candidate wants to pay feds for cost-cutting ideas
Monday - 11/5/2012, 6:40pm EST
Virginia Senate candidate George Allen (R) wants to freeze federal hiring, stop automatic pay raises for workers and members of Congress, and ask feds for their help in cutting government spending by promising a one-time "share-in-savings" bonus.
If elected to the Senate, Allen would give feds a cash award if their cost-cutting ideas produce real savings. The idea is similar to the Obama administration's SAVE Awards, but with money behind it.
Virginia Republican Senate candidate George Allen (AP Photo/The Daily News-Record, Nikki Fox)
Allen's opponent, former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine (D), said cuts to the federal workforce and budget alone would not address the fiscal health of the nation. He does not support the continuation of the federal pay freeze.
Both candidates, vying to win the seat currently held by Sen. Jim Webb (D), are quick to recognize the benefits federal employees and contractors bring to the government.
But political ideology informs their respective views about federal employee issues such as the pay freeze, hiring, retirement benefits and the budget as well as contractor issues such as procurement reform and cuts to the Defense Department.
For instance, Allen calls for management reforms similar to the ones in his Blue Ribbon Strike Force he created while governor of Virginia.
Allen wrote in his Blueprint for America's Comeback that he wants to "sell unneeded and unused surplus federal property, recognize we are in the Internet age and eliminate wasteful printing and publications across the federal government, cut back the federal government's fleet of vehicles and civilian aircraft and control to make certain those that remain in the fleet are used only for legitimate business purposes and when most cost-effective."
Virginia Democratic Candidate Tim Kaine (AP Photo/Steve Helber)
Allen also has ideas to reform the federal procurement process. For example, he said on his website the bid-protest cycle should be limited to 60 days to reduce costs. He said agencies could promote more competition by limiting the length of contracts.
Kaine has a different approach. He said he wants to make targeted cuts to federal programs to get the budget deficit under control.
"Given our current budget crisis, we must take significant steps to rein in spending. We should not however, single out federal employees in determining our budget going forward. There are much larger savings to be found elsewhere," according to an email from Kaine's campaign. "Because of our current fiscal situation, we must take steps to balance the budget, and it is likely that everyone will have to make sacrifices. But we must acknowledge the value that federal employees provide."
Kaine also said keeping the Postal Service financially stable is invaluable to the nation. He said Congress should "first look at items like the requirement to pre-fund future retirees' health benefits as a potential source of funds."
Maryland Senate race
Democratic Maryland Senator Ben Cardin (AP Photo/Brian Witte)
The race in Maryland for Senate, between incumbent Sen. Ben Cardin (D), Dan Bongino (R) and Independent challenger Rob Sobhani, is not as close according to the latest polls.
But when it comes to issues important to federal workers and contractors, Cardin and Bongino, a former Secret Service agent, share many of the same goals.
Cardin highlights his commitment to federal employees by stopping Congress from raising employee retirement contributions and halting the attempt to add another year to the pay freeze.
"I pledge to you that as member of the U.S. Senate I'm committed to fighting hard to protect federal workers from shouldering the burden of our economic downturn alone," Cardin said in a recorded video message to the American Federation of Government Employees annual conference in August. "I'm fighting to protect the benefits of federal workers and to put an end to the blame game that targets federal workers for political gain."
Bongino also said employees should not be used as pawns for political purposes.
Maryland Republican Senate candidate Dan Bongino (AP Photo/Brian Witte)
"The federal employee that [sic] gets up in the morning and ties his shoes and puts his work boots on and goes to work is not the problem," Bongino said in an interview with Federal News Radio. "The problem is budget mismanagement on a grand scale by politicians who have not been responsible with that federal ledger. That's putting our federal workforce in financial danger."
He said one big concern is the borrowing against the Federal Employee Retirement System accounts.
"That starts being borrowed against, you have a de facto Social Security system, where your assets are nationalized, borrowed against and spent on. I wouldn't support that," he said. "Our employees are not the problem. It's the mismanagement of the system that is."
Bongino said federal pay should be competitive in order to attract some of the best and brightest. But at the same time, because of the budget crisis there is a premium for job security.
Maryland Independent Senate candidate Rob Sobhani (AP Photo/Brian Witte)
"We need to have a non-ideological conversation about where we stand. Are the salaries competitive? If they are, that's great, but we may have to look into in the future some cuts, and I think we can do it best through attrition," he said. "I don't think there is any need at this point, and I don't think we will solve our long terms budget crisis by laying off workers en masse in kind of a machete approach. We will have to look at controlling future hiring and baseline budgeting and overhaul."
Sobhani said on his site that government should be reduced by cutting programs that don't work.
"I oppose 'across the board cuts' because they too often destroy the very goals we are seeking to achieve," he said on his campaign site. "Every department's budget must be reviewed to maximize efficiencies. We must apply both courage and discernment to the urgent mission of reigning in government spending."
Sequestration top priority
The potentially harmful impact sequestration would have on feds and vendors alike is another topic where there is widespread recognition, but little agreement among the candidates.
"The No. 1 thing that needs to be done is stopping these Defense cuts, which are threatening over 200,000 jobs in Virginia with that deal, which my opponent Tim Kaine, continues to say is the right thing to do, and to me it's so wrong to use the men and women of our armed forces and these jobs as political bargaining chip to raise taxes on job creating small businesses," Allen said.
Allen made these remarks Monday in an interview on WTOP Radio.
Kaine said on WTOP later in the day that sequestration is all about compromise.
"On fixing the budget, is it taking out the meat axe and just cutting everything or is it finding that mixture of revenue and cuts-probably two or three dollars of cuts for every dollar of revenue?" Kaine said. "I'm advocating letting the Bush tax cuts expire over $500,000. That would produce some revenue and dramatically reduce the need for cuts. We still will have to find some cuts, but we could make them precise rather than just blunt axe."

This handy stand not only stores Scooba up and protectively off of your flooring, but storing Scooba in an upright position takes up much less space. I can position him in a corner or up against a wall and I'm much more satisfied w/ this arrangement than having him as a potential tripping/stepping hazard on the floor, however out of the way he might be... accidents can still happen.

Addition Worksheets
Practicing addition with your child is a great way to get him excited about math! Try these tips to make addition practice fun:
- Young kids who are beginning to learn addition often need to see a visual representaion of any given problem. Many kids will use their fingers and toes, but make things more fun by using counters. You can use pieces of cereal, beads, mini marshmallows or anything you'd like. Kids love switching things up with large-sized counters, so bust out pillows or purses to make learning addition even more fun.
- Get some addition practice while reading picture books together. There are a ton of great picture books that have overt and hidden addition facts and practice, but you can turn any book into a lesson in addition. If you read a page with a picture of a forest, you might say to your child, "I see three trees and four flowers. How many plants are there all together?" You can add characters, shapes, items, or anything in multiples.
- Encourage your child to work on a new math addition worksheet everyday to keep adding skills fresh. Mix things up with basic addition worksheets and more challenging exercises, and even a few addition facts worksheets to keep your child engaged with the subject.

When a younger brother is bigger or around the same size as the older brother. sometimes the younger brother will have a very low,sometimes lower voice then the older brother which is rather comical.
My Brother's friends were horrified when I was introduced as his "little brother"
"More like my Big Little Brother" He corrected.

I purchased this shoe in off-white. Absolutely love it. The platform/heel height is in great proportion and very comfortable. I have plantar fasciatis and really like the Earth Brand for the cushy insoles and nice arch support. I will probably buy these in spice too.
I love the style of this sandal, the burnt orange color and the heel height. It was a little tight around the front toe area however I am hoping it will stretch out the more I wear them.

I help teach with a surf school in Atlantic City and I would say get her a cheap foamie that way she doesn't hurt herself as she is learning. I agree to take her out in about waist high (her waist) water and stand there with her. Have her lay on the board while you hold on to it to help keep her stable. Keep the board facing the beach. Wait for a broken wave to approach and have her paddle but still give her a push straight toward the beach. You can help her by telling her when to stand up after she has caught the wave. After she starts getting up consistently, have her paddle and catch the waves on her own. Sorry if some of this info seems redundant or stupid but this is how we teach beginners. We also go over all of the basics on the beach before taking them out. We even have them practice the pop up a few times and give them pointers. Good luck and have a great time teaching your daughter!
Oh, and definitely take her out on a small day.
One love.

When it comes to retirement planning, one of the tools growing in popularity is an immediate annuity. Immediate annuities can provide retirees with an income they can't outlive, a real security blanket as people live longer and longer. New York Life's Lifetime Income Annuity, issued by New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (A Delaware Corporation) also provides solutions to other retirement issues people face as they move from accumulating retirement savings to devising a retirement income strategy.
As Baby Boomers approach retirement, one thing is apparent: Their retirement will be far more complex than their parents' retirements were. Not only must they be concerned about accumulating enough money to retire comfortably, but they must also think about how to make that money last a longer time, perhaps as long as 30–40 years. However, according to the 2009 Retirement Confidence Survey issued by the Employee Benefits Research Institute1, many Americans have little money put away in savings and investments. 53 percent report that the total value of their household's savings and investments, excluding the value of their primary home and any defined benefit plans, is less than $25,000. In fact, 20 percent say they have less than $1,000 in savings.
Once Boomers realize they need to make the transition from savings accumulation to savings disbursement, and devise a retirement income strategy for the money they have been faithfully socking away, a number of key issues arise:
- First and foremost they want a plan that will enable them to maximize the monthly income they receive from their savings and enjoy retirement for as long as they live.
- They want to protect themselves against the cost of inflation.
- They want to be sure they will not lose all their money if they die too soon. (If they have heirs, however, they might want a plan that balances their income needs with one that will also enable them to pass on their assets should they die prematurely.)
- And, in case of emergencies, people also need to have ready access to their money without being subject to penalties and fees.
With the Lifetime Income Annuity, New York Life continues to create innovative financial products that meet the changing needs of its policyowners and prospects.

Watch a video Watch a video review from one of our experts Front Helix upgrade system with optional subwoofer PP50DSP processor with PP7E subwoofer Photos (6) Video View larger Helix PP50DSP Plug and Play digital signal processor with built-in 5-channel amplifier Item #: 975PP50DSP 7 Reviews This item is no longer available. Original Price: $379.99 Shop all Factory System Upgrades Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff.
by Buck Pomerantz Use a micro-SD card to load your vehicle's acoustic settings into the PP50DSP processor. Bring magic to your car's factory radio Helix's Plug and Play system will turn the inside of your car into a hi-fi listening space to rival your living room. Helix engineers took precise measurements of your factory sound system's acoustic properties, then created time alignment settings and equalization curves designed to transform the sound in your vehicle, all stored in this tiny digital processor/amplifier that hides away easily. You'll experience music like you were in a concert hall, not in a noisy vehicle on the road. And the system plugs into your vehicle's existing factory system without cutting any wires, so you can return a leased car back to stock, for instance. The vehicle-specific Helix Plug and Play system First, you'll need to purchase a Helix vehicle-specific adapter harness that plugs in between your car's stock receiver and speakers. Then, this PP50DSP signal processor takes the signal from the factory radio and transforms it into focused, clear, and powerfully moving music that'll dance across your dashboard. The processor's built-in amplifier puts out up to 50 watts RMS to each of your car's four speakers and another 160 watts RMS for the optional PP7E sub, so you'll definitely feel big improvement in your music's impact. You'll need a vehicle-specific cable to connect this Helix system. Download the software for your car After installing the Helix system, you simply go to helixhifi.com to download the acoustic settings Helix developed for your specific vehicle. You copy the settings onto a microSD memory card (not included), put the card in the PP50's slot, turn on the power, and the processor automatically adjusts the sound to perfection. Helix's compact PP7E sub adds the punch your factory system's missing. You'll want the bass The optional PP7E subwoofer comes in a compact, vented enclosure with dual 7-inch subs that provide the low-frequency punch that'll satisfy the lovers of all musical styles. The processor's equalization curves incorporate big bass, so you will definitely miss some of the fun if the PP7E sub isn't in the system. Want even more bass? For those wanting more bass than the PP7E and its 160 watts of power can provide, you can use Helix's optional (PP-SC4) cable to connect your PP50DSP processor directly to a Helix B ONE subwoofer amplifier that will deliver up to 950 watts RMS to your sub setup. Important Note: This Helix upgrade system plugs in between your vehicle's factory radio and speakers, so it will not work in a premium sound system equipped with a factory amplifier. You must identify your vehicle to order a Helix Plug and Play upgrade system online. Or, if you prefer, call an Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to make sure you get the upgrade system that works in your vehicle. The basic Helix upgrade works with the PP7E subwoofer and a vehicle-specific harness (not shown).

Good Quality Sound across entire spectrum, but high price. Written By ahthurungnone, Jackson, MI on Tuesday, November 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) - Did I notice an improvement in overall sound quality? No. However, my stock system was a Rockford Fosgate and it didn't sound poor beforehand. - Did I notice a difference in volume? Yes, as this system automatically filters out sounds below 100dB and saves these lower notes for the sub. - Did I notice a difference in overall volume WITH the sub speakers? Yes, the system as a whole is about 25% louder than before without distortion. - Conclusion: All my other car audio systems are entirely pre-amped and typically cost 4 times the amount of this system. With that said, the ONLY reason to go this avenue is if you MUST save the stock stereo. Otherwise, you are much better off to purchase a new head unit, amps, and aftermarket subs and speakers. The sound will be clearer and the bass much more responsive. In addition, the separate bass speakers are barely enough to fill a small truck cab. If you installed the sub in a car trunk, you couldn't probably hear it whatsoever. Pros: Clarity, Ease of Installation, Volume Cons: Price, Bass Volume
Plug & Play Written By David, Eastern Carolina on Thursday, November 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The PP50 DSP was easy to install, no modifications needed, definitely plug & play. Plenty of cable for me to install under the passenger seat, so I could have easy access to te microSD card slot and DIP switches. I downloaded the af2 file from the Helix website for my 2014 Subaru Forester and immediately l noticed a big improvement in the sound quality. I also installed the PP7E Sub-woofer, which comes with it's own cable that plugs directly into the PP50DSP. There's a DIP switch on the PP50DSP that you turn off, if you choose not to connect a sub-woofer. You also have the option of running a separate power line, so far the system runs fine without the direct power connection. I also replaced the factory speakers with Kickers made for the Subaru. There's a DIP switch for changing the impedance from 4 ohm to 2 ohms if needed. However, I recently went back to the Helix website to purchase the usb adapter so that I could make some minor changes to the imaging and found the PP50DSP is a discontinued item. Pros: Easy to install. Plug & Play. No modifications need when using vehicle specific adapter cable. Sub-woofer was easy to connect. You keep your steering wheel controls and Bluetooth. Cons: PP50DSP is a discontinued item with Helix. Downloadable files for vehicles are still available. The PP7e sub-woofer comes with 6.5" speakers, would be much better with 8 to 10' woofers.
Awesome! Written By MattM, Reedsville, PA on Monday, November 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I don't usually write reviews but was extremely happy with this product. I knew that I definitely needed a sound processor and amp because of the lack of volume and underwater sound in my 2010 F150 base stereo. After reviewing my options this thing fit the bill. I replaced the door speakers with infinity reference 2 ohm 6x8's and set the DIP switches on the helix to 2 ohm giving me 50 watts instead of the 35 watts at 4 ohm. Both volume and sound quality are incredible. The best thing is this thing is plug and play and awesome. I installed mine under the passenger seat and ran the harness under the console and you cant even tell it is there. Took about an hour, no separate power, remote, or ground wires to deal with. Sync and steering wheel controls still work great too. It would be hard for me to believe that anything could sound this good for the cost and ease of install. Pros: Plug and play Sync and steering wheel controls work Cons: None
Helix PP50DSP Written By AndrewF, Overland Park, KS on Wednesday, September 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed this on my Jetta Sportwagen and it works great. The biggest difference is the clarity and you just notice more detail in your music that you previously missed. Installation was a breeze, took me about an hour from start to finish. Pros: Great Sound, easy installation. Cons: None
Great Option for Leased Vehicle Written By steve.s, Castle Rock, CO on Sunday, September 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have been building 12-volt sound systems in cars and trucks for over 30 years. From installing a single amp for 6x9s in the late 1970s to recently installing a 2,000+ watt custom JL/Alpine system in my Avalanche. The concept of this amp amazes me even after I got it installed. We have come a long way in 30+ years. I am leasing a 2013 Camry and wanted an option to give me a little more power without cutting and splicing. Other than a satellite antenna plug that was stubborn to remove from the radio - this was VERY easy to install. The included harness was run through the center console to underneath the passenger seat. You download the DSP settings for your car from the manufacturers website and install with a micro-SD card. That is really it - I adjusted the treble-mid-bass and, as expected, it sounds much fuller and better that the standard factory system. The 2013 Toyota Entune system is a vast improvement in sound quality over older factory systems. However, without the JBL speaker option, it can use a little more power. This amp provides that power and the DSP helps tune the sound for the car without spending hundreds of hours and hundreds of dollars trying to build and custom tune a system. Thanks for your innovation, Helix!. Pros: My Camry SE has the Entune and Navigation option. Generally easy, plug and play, installation for factory speakers. Provides a solution to upgrading a factory system without a lot of hassle, and without cutting and splicing of the factory harness. Provides more than adequate power to drive factory speakers. Cons: It makes sense if you think about it, but to install the optional sub that is available for this system, you need to run a fused 20 amp circuit from the battery. Maybe it is in the description, but I did not realize that until I read the manual. I am going to do this before I order to sub and also expect it to improve the power to the front speakers as well.
DSP more than amp Written By Jim, San Diego, CA on Wednesday, July 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) As a DSP I give this item 5 stars, and if the car is being kept totally original it offers enough power. If you get aftermarket speakers that are designed to run on more power, just realize that this amp is not for that purpose. It really is for keeping your car totally original yet improving the sound. Installation is VERY easy, just plug it into the wiring harness (purchase vehicle specific adapter separately). I was disappointed though because they seem to cut out the lower frequencies assuming you will add their separate subwoofer that is designed for this unit. I did not do that and lower end bass was significantly reduced. If you are keeping your car totally original and buying the separate subwoofer then this unit is 5 stars for you. It does clean up the sound pretty well. Pros: clean sound Cons: lose bass without buying their subwoofer insufficient power from amp
Great Upgrade Written By Gary C., Charlottesville, VA on Monday, September 03, 2012 Great upgrade without altering dash, sound quality difference like night and day with factory speakers. I did not add sub at this time, but probably would upgrade front component speakers first. Pros: Significant improvement without altering factory look. Cons: Pricey, especially since paid for 3 hr installation and took only little more than a hour, not sure why I wasn't refunded difference, although I did not ask.
