Lt. Col Mohammed Abu Ali who was killed by Boko Haram terrorists left behind a young wife and child. Ali and four other soldiers were killed late on Friday, November 4 by Boko Haram insurgents after a fierce battle, a statement by Army spokesman, Colonel Sani Usman announced.
Ali, a recipient of the Chief of Army Staff Award for exceptional bravery and excellence, led the army units that recovered Gamboru-Ngala, Baga and several communities from the terrorists. In a post by Dr. Aminu Gamawa, he sent condolences to the family of the deceased soldier.
He wrote: He made the ultimate sacrifice so that we could all live in peace and security. He was a gallant and great soldier.
We thank Lt. Col. Muhammed Abu Ali for his service and sacrifice. Our condolences to his family, the Chief of Army Staff, and the Nigerian Army. May his soul Rest in Peace.
Allah yayi masa rahama. Allah ya albarkaci abunda ya bari.
The Nigerian army performed the final burial rites on Ali on Saturday, November 5. As his body was being taken away, soldiers stood at attention and saluted the late gallant soldier who lost his life after he and other soldiers were ambushed by the terrorists.

I have to admit, this sounds very promising.... Sony has said that "a majority" of the PSP back catalogue of UMD games will be available for download from October 1, 2009. And all first-party Sony games will be offered as digital as well. They can't promise that all third-party games will be, but I think that's because Sony can't force another company to offer digital versions of their games. But I would expect that most if not all third-party PSP game makers would want to offer digital versions of their games.
All this of course ties into the PSPgo's October 1, 2009 release date. Maybe Sony has really planned this out far in advance after all.... ripping all the PSP UMD games (or do they just get copies that hackers put out on the net, haha...) and prepping them for PS Store distribution.
The next big questions are how will we be able to obtain a digital copy of a game we already own on UMD, to put on our PSPgo or even our older PSPs? I don't know how Sony's self-proclaimed "Goodwill program" will work, but let me put it to you this way.... you know the MY GAMES section on your PSN ID? If you don't know it, I'd suggest you find it-- and make sure it's updated. I have no idea if it will come into play at all, but better safe than sorry. I just updated mine, and my total came to 42 PSP games. Wow.
When I think of digital copy of a game I already own, it makes me think of how I look at a PSP copy of a DVD I already own. Let's say I, [THEORETICALLY] own a DVD. And I [THEORETICALLY] use freeware to create a copy, which I could [THEORETICALLY] transcode to make a .MP4 version that's playable on my PSP. I'm not mass producing copies of the movie. I'm not selling it, or giving it away. It's just for me, it's nice to have the original store-bought DVD, and a portable copy that's playable on my portable device. I personally consider that fair use, and I'd be ok if the digital PSP games were treated that way. Just a digital copy that I can use, tied to my account, and compliments my hard copy that I bought from a store.
This October 1 sure brings a lot of questions. It can't come soon enough.

THIS WEEK IN COMICS! (1/20/16 – My Imperfect Commendation)
Joe McCulloch | January 19, 2016
Pic taken from the 2012 catalog "Genga: Otomo Katsuhiro Original Pictures", still the most readily-accessible and English-friendly source for any Otomo drawings pre-1980s. This image is from the 1976 story "Highway Star". Just a reminder in this commemorative year that Otomo does not fully and wholly equal "Akira"...
PLEASE NOTE: What follows is not a series of capsule reviews but an annotated selection of items listed by Diamond Comic Distributors for release to comic book retailers in North America on the particular Wednesday identified in the column title above. Be aware that some of these comics may be published by Fantagraphics Books, the entity which also administers the posting of this column, and that I also run a podcast with an employee of Nobrow Press. Not every listed item will necessarily arrive at every comic book retailer, in that some items may be delayed and ordered quantities will vary. I have in all likelihood not read any of the comics listed below, in that they are not yet released as of the writing of this column, nor will I necessarily read or purchase every item identified; THIS WEEK IN COMICS! reflects only what I find to be potentially interesting. You could always just buy nothing.
SPOTLIGHT PICKS!
The Envelope Manufacturer: Because we love memories and fun here in this column, I urge you to think back to 1998, when we were all beautiful and virtuous (or, ideally, unborn). There, in between fulfillment of his duties as founder and publisher of the Canadian comics concern Drawn & Quarterly, artist Chris Oliveros self-published the debut issue of a solo project, The Envelope Manufacturer - a drama of struggle and disappointment in the small business world. A second issue followed in 2006; "almost immediately after they came out, I wanted to disown them," Oliveros noted to interviewer Sean Rogers in 2015's Drawn and Quarterly anniversary tome, and this was not idle deprecation. Since 2011, Oliveros had been working on a total re-draw of the project, and now it sees completion as a 104-page softcover graphic novel, again self-published, with D&Q functioning as distributor. The subject matter certainly evokes the works of Seth, particularly his ongoing Clyde Fans, but Oliveros is a broader cartoonist, conveying a sort of obsessive panic born from worsening circumstances - his characters holding long conversations while one plunges through the air to his death, word balloons issuing from the outskirts of panels to chase and surround figures that seem often in flight; $16.95.
The Book of Hope: Speaking of serialization, I recall early parts of this coming out of the Belgian publisher Bries in English, though creator Tommi Musturi goes back further on the Finnish and international comics scenes, having notably edited the Glömp anthology. This 8.75" x 6.75", 224-page color Fantagraphics hardcover is now a full compilation of the artist's most narrative expansive work, manifesting scenes from life-as-lived from the perspective of advanced age in a manner that may be called fragmented or even psychedelic. Take a look at this one. Samples; $34.99.
Frank in the 3rd Dimension: Being a 26-page selection of "anecdotal visual vignettes, dioramas, moments pickled in time" - all-new, and all relating to Jim Woodring's ever-ambulatory anthropomorph. A 10" x 8" Fantagraphics hardcover, this project vows "more than 150 layers per drawing in order to round and 'sculpt' each image into full, volumetric 3-D," which sounds immersive in the way I find 3-D comics to work best: as a perspective on depth, rather than a simulation of characters jumping out to greet me. Fuck that, stay in the book. Also, word balloons tend to ruin the sensory appeal, demanding one artifice too many under the circumstances, and you know Frank'll have none of that; $22.99.
Cruising Through the Louvre: The next in NBM's long-running translation series of comics informed by the holdings or the history or the presence of the famous museum, this time from David Prudhomme, whose Rébétiko (a portrayal of devel-may-care musicians in 1930s Greece) was translated by SelfMadeHero a few years back. This 80-page, 8" x 11" color work sees the artist racing through the halls, catching moments of museum patrons in personal communion with various works. Jirō Taniguchi of The Walking Man and Hotel Harbour View should have one of these coming up before long. Preview; $22.99.
Religion: A Discovery in Comics: And here is the next English edition of work by Amsterdam-based Margreet de Heer, whose had two prior educational comics released by NBM. This one dates from 2011, I think - a survey of five major faiths, with a focus on history and practice. NBM, I remind you, is a frequent advertiser on this site, and is now entering its 40th year of existence (its original name was Flying Buttress, under which it translated Jean-Marc Loro's Racket Rumba and some early collected shorts of Enki Bilal); $17.99.
Amazing Forest #1 (&) Pencil Head #1 (of 5): Two comic book debuts, different in every way beyond the bare facts of the comic book format. Amazing Forest is a new IDW anthology anchored by two writers: Ulises Farinas & Erick Freitas, the former a well-traveled artist and critic, and both collaborators on the short-form project Gamma. A different artist will be handling each story by the two, with the initial lineup including Yumi Sakugawa, Matt Rota, Julien Dufour and Melody Often, with Paul Chadwick providing a variant cover. Pencil Head, meanwhile, is the new Image series from prolific indie comics veteran Ted McKeever, not just a one-man show but a "semi-autobiographical take" on comics as an institution; $3.99 (each).
Master Keaton Vol. 5 (&) Monster: Perfect Edition Vol. 7: A whole lot of comics fronted by Naoki Urasawa, albeit with no-doubt strong narrative contributions by Takashi Nagasaki (and, obviously, lots of drawing by studio assistants) (and, Master Keaton was co-created by Hokusei Katsushika) (trust nobody who treats Urasawa as solo act). I'm just going to lay my cards on the table and state flatly that I prefer Master Keaton to Monster (which I never finished): the former, of course, is highly repetitive, lacking profoundly in narrative build or sustained character development, with deep dips into the sentimental stickiness that Urasawa & co. cannot resist - yet it functions as a better window than generally available into a type of mainline, no-big-deal seinen comics escapism very much active in manga for older readers, and in this way it represents a mighty swathe of otherwise inaccessibly non-lucrative-in-translation popular culture. I guess what I'm saying is, Master Keaton is not 'A'-level stuff, and thank VIZ for that; $19.99 (each).
Paleo: The Complete Collection (&) Horror by Heck: A pair of reprints from houses known for such efforts. Paleo is the creation of Jim Lawson, best known for a lot of work on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. However, from 2001-04, he wrote and drew some of his own dinosaur comics, which Dover now presents as a 400-page collected edition, with the equivalent of two unseen issues and bonus stories created with Tyrant author Stephen R. Bissette, who also pens an introduction. Horror by Heck is an IDW hardcover, collecting 152 pages of pre-Code horror comics by Iron Man co-creator Don Heck - not so well-known a terrain; $19.95 (Paleo), $24.99 (Heck).
Walt Kelly and Pogo: The Art of the Political Swamp: Finally, your book-on-comics of the week, a 268-page biographical study of the titular satirist, "unravel[ing] the symbolism and word-play of his art for modern readers." The author is James Eric Black, and the publisher is McFarland; $39.95.

In Washington State, a 'State 401(k)' Is Rejected
By Editor Test Mon, Jun 29, 2009
When it comes to designing public-private retirement savings programs, Sandy Matheson has been there and done that.
In Washington, D.C., the debate is just beginning over the merits of extending the option of a workplace retirement savings account to every private-sector worker who doesn't have already have one. But in Washington State, the debate is already over—or at least tabled.
And in the process of researching their version of a universal workplace plan, Washington State retirement officials learned something: that the private 401(k) industry doesn't welcome competition from the state.
Back in May 2007, the Department of Retirement Systems in the Evergreen State was assigned to design a retirement program to promote savings among private sector employees. The state came up with three options in its January 2009 report, called Washington Voluntary Accounts: Report to the Legislature.
The three were: a payroll-deduction plan with a single investment, like a Treasury Inflation-Protected bond fund; a similar program, but with a small allocation to stocks; and a state-run 401(k).
Private industry was open to the first two options but nixed the third.
"The people in industry I spoke with were receptive to the our version of an IRA, where the state would specify or create specifications for products but private sector would provide the products," said Sandy Matheson, then the department's director. "They're less receptive to the idea of states competing directly with them by operating these plans."
Aside from competition, any state-mandated plan was expected to create headaches for small business owners who haven't computerized their businesses. "The trouble for small employers is that they're still on manual payroll," she told RIJ. "If you're not automated, that creates more challenges."
Matheson, a CPA who has since become executive director of the Maine Public Employees Retirement System, also learned that a public-private workplace savings program isn't likely to work unless it's very simple.
"The simpler the program, and the easier it is to administer, then the more readily acceptable it tends to be," she said. "When you build complexity into a program, it may not fit as many people as well. I kept being driven back to a very simple model."
The state legislature has not acted yet on the recommendations in the January report—in part because the process was interrupted by the global financial crisis. Here are summaries of the options that were presented to them:
A private sector-administered payroll deduction or individual IRA offering a state-specified low-cost, low-cost, single choice, inflation-protected, simple investment. Any financial Institution or eligible broker can administer and offer this product using the state's name if the product meets the Department's specifications. The Department will conduct marketing, including Web site referrals to eligible vendors, to encourage low‐risk saving and reduce a market mismatch between the supply and demand for low-cost products.
A private sector-administered payroll deduction or individual IRA offering a state-specified low-risk, single choice inflation-protected and growth investment. This option achieves all of the same benefits as the simple investment option, but could offer a mixture of inflation-protected investments in combination with a smaller amount of stocks. For example, the investment could be a balanced portfolio that consists mostly of principal preservation type assets (e.g.,bonds) with a small amount of equities. The bonds guarantee that, at a minimum, an investor will receive every dollar invested back at its future value, and the stocks offer opportunity for some growth. This option is directed at longer‐term retirement investment.
A state-administered 401(k). The state could administer or partner with private sector providers to offer a 401(k) plan that would be available to private sector businesses. The plan design would be consistent with Internal Revenue Service Regulations and investments could be managed by the Washington State Investment Board. This option would require prior approval by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) before it could be implemented.

Two 'Santas' Can Be Worse Than One


Our week away organised by All Africa Tours was a week to remember.
It started by staying for two nights at Rosendal Wine Estate just outside Robertson.
Rosendal is in a beautiful setting. The staff are professional but very friendly and you are met with a lovely glass of ice cold Sauvignon Blanc! The rooms are lovely with stunning views. The next day we were recommended to go to a Boutique Olive Oil farm about five minutes away called Marbrin. Clive (the farmer) was a great host. He was so informative and also had a great sense of humour. He didn't rush the tour and you taste all his oils (the chilli oil was divine) and his balsamic vinegar was sublime. He also does olive tapenade and his father in law's lemon-cello was stunning! We visited Springfield wine farm and the lady was great friendly and helpful. We had a picnic lunch at Viljoensdrift which was overpriced and they had run out of white wine which is bizarre for a wine farm. The lunches at Van Loveren looked amazing. Also we can recommend the lunch at Excelsior wine farm which was really excellent . We visited Montague which is a lovely drive and walked around and visited the dried fruit factory which is fantastic and the prices are very good.
From Robertson we went to Hermanus and stayed at 138 Marine Beachfront which had incredible views of the sea. Our room had possibly the best view being at the front of the property, however with the sea being literally just across the road a great view is guaranteed We went to Creation (in the Hemel and Aarde Valley) which is a must. We did the wine tasting with canapés which again was a fabulous experience and we can highly recommend as it is a very informative and educational (who knew that the glass can make such a difference). In Hermanus we went to Fernkloof Nature Reserve, did the cliff walk from Grotto Beach and did a bit of shopping! B's Steakhouse at the start of the Hemel and Aarde Valley, gave us the best steak we have every had. Prior booking is essential. Burgundy Restaurant in Hermanus was also a wonderful experience especially for those who love seafood. My prawns were so good, I ordered more.
All in all it was a great five days – thanks to Julie and Scott at All Africa Tours who recommended the accommodation and booked on our behalf. Their knowledge of the area was extremely good and the places they recommended were good choices.

The Fifth Generation of the Chinese Communist Party
Publication: China Brief Volume: 6 Issue: 3
February 1, 2006 05:00 AM Age: 17 years
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) holds a Congress of Delegates every five years to pick a new Central Committee and Politburo. While the 17th CCP Congress is not due to take place until autumn 2007, President and General Secretary Hu Jintao has already started the crucial task of inserting allies and cronies in key party and government slots. Most of the 63-year-old Hu's associates and underlings hail from the Communist Youth League (CYL), which he headed in the mid-1980s. Much of the quality of China's next leadership corps—in addition to Hu's succession strategy—can be gleaned from studying the profiles of a couple of the president's favorites.
Foremost among Hu's CYL protégés is Party Secretary of Liaoning Province Li Keqiang, 50, who is often called his mentor's doppelhanger. Li, a top graduate from Peking University (Beida) and a former CYL party secretary, has risen so fast through the hierarchy that party insiders have dubbed him the potential "core of the Fifth-Generation leadership," a reference to senior cadres now in their late 30s to early 50s. Like Hu, Li stayed behind at Beida after graduation to become a political instructor. Also like his boss, the law and economics graduate earned his spurs while toiling in the localities. He served in the central, predominantly agricultural Henan province, and for the past year has been based in northeastern Liaoning, whose industrial foundation was laid by Soviet experts in the early 1950s.
Yet Beijing's political observers have only given Li a mediocre rating. They point to his six-odd years in Henan, first as vice-party secretary, then as governor and party secretary. It is true that during his tenure the economy of Henan, China's largest province in terms of population, has improved in lockstep with the rest of the country. From 1998 to 2004, per capita GDP in the province went up by about 70 percent, while peasants' per capita annual income rose 14 percent in 2004 to reach 2,550 yuan (China News Agency, January 10, 2005). Li, however, has hardly acquitted himself of President Hu's premier requirement of regional chieftains: the maintenance of socio-political stability and the avoidance of scandals, particularly those that attract the attention of Western media.
Beginning in the late 1990s, Henan became notorious in and out of China for its heart-rending AIDS villages in which impoverished peasants sold blood to eke out a living—and contracted the deadly virus from unsanitary blood-transfusion equipment. To be sure, this tragedy occurred before Li arrived in the province, but the CYL high-flyer largely followed existing practice by clamping a media blackout on the national disgrace. Until Premier Wen Jiabao announced a more humane policy on AIDS in November 2003, foreign reporters and doctors were turned away from rural Henan. Moreover, activist members of health-related NGOs, as well as internationally-known volunteer doctors Gao Yaojie and Wan Yanhai, were harassed, detained, and put under tight police surveillance.
Party Secretary Li was also ineffective in deterring grassroots officials from pocketing funds and donations that central authorities and foreign NGOs had given AIDS victims in 2003 and 2004. Apart from AIDS, Henan has in the past few years witnessed bloody conflicts between the predominant Han Chinese and the minority Muslim population. A horrendous clash in Zhongmou County in late 2004 resulted in the death of over 120 residents, and was only suppressed after more than 10,000 People's Armed Police officers were dispatched to the area (Time, Asia edition, November 15, 2004).
During his tenure in Henan, Li failed to demonstrate the breadth of vision and boldness in experimentation that characterized forward-looking regional "warlords" in recent communist Chinese history. For example, agrarian reform pioneered in the late 1970s and early 1980s by then party secretaries Zhao Ziyang and Wan Li in respectively Sichuan and Anhui provinces was instrumental in persuading late patriarch Deng Xiaoping to opt for thorough-going privatization. Instead, Li largely followed the philosophy and work style of Hu when the latter was party secretary of landlocked Guizhou Province in the mid-1980s. While Hu was diligent to a fault, he kept his ideas to himself—and invariably toed the line from Beijing.
Since leaving the CYL headquarters in 1998, Li has acquitted himself well in following Beijing's lead in organizing Mao-style political campaigns. These ranged from ex-president Jiang Zemin's ideological movement to promote the "Three Represents Theory" to Hu's current campaign to maintain the "advanced nature" of party cadres and members. Shortly before his term was up in Henan, Li gave a series of press interviews bemoaning the fact that central China had been neglected for the past decade, as the eastern coast and then the western and northeastern regions were given priority access to the nation's resources (Xinhua, December 13, 2004; Henan Daily, November 30, 2004; Henan Daily, April 22, 2004). Yet the question can be asked whether what Li called "the emergence of the central [part of China]" might have been achieved if the party boss had made more imaginative use of Henan's enormous resources as well as his own sterling connections in the capital.
Given that the grand plan to revive the three northeastern provinces is one of the first economic initiatives of the Hu-Wen Administration—and that Liaoning is the so-called dragonhead of the region—Li seems better placed to display his talents in his new posting. This is despite the fact that since arriving in the provincial capital of Shenyang in December 2004, the young party boss has followed the CCP tradition of depending on the proverbial "red-hot fervor of cadres and the masses"—rather than institutions and the law—to solve problems. This was demonstrated while he tried to tackle the issues of squatter housing as well as the stockpiling of petitions filed by residents with complaints against government departments. Li has come up with a "cadre responsibility system" whereby officials at different levels of administration are given quantitative targets akin to quotas in handling housing problems and the masses' grievances (Xinhua, May 29, 2005).
Among the rising stars within Hu's labyrinthine CYL network, it seems apparent that Jiangsu Province's party boss Li Yuanchao has demonstrated the highest level of originality and bravado. The 55-year-old Li (not related to Li Keqiang) is also a former party secretary of the League and a vice-minister of culture. Since coming back to serve in his rich native province in 2000, the Beida economics graduate has broken new ground in the sensitive area of administrative and political reform. For example, the party boss has encouraged open competition for candidates applying for posts up to the level of vice-directors of provincial departments. Moreover, short-listed candidates must take part in "oral examinations," which are telecast live. Li has indicated that open recruitment "should be carried out on a regular basis and over a wider range." Li has also earned plaudits for relatively enlightened policies on culture and the environment. For example, he raised eyebrows by saying that city planners should discourage the construction of glitzy skyscrapers, which spoil the landscape and lead to wastage of material and energy. "Skyscrapers are neither beautiful nor practical," he said early this year. "And they are a shame to our ancestors" (People's Daily, January 6).
In general, however, the two Lis as well as other Hu protégés have conformed to the CCP tradition of quietly waiting in the wings and keeping a low profile so as not to be seen as upstaging their superiors in the Politburo Standing Committee. Diplomatic analysts agree that it is almost a foregone conclusion that Hu will largely achieve his objectives at the 17th Congress. After all, the other major faction in CCP politics, the so-called Shanghai Clique once led by ex-president Jiang, has been fading fast since the latter's retirement from his last significant position of commander-in-chief in 2004. Moreover, Hu has been adept at building bridges to other important factions such as the "gang of princelings"—a reference to the offspring of party elders or retired generals—by elevating a significant number of these high-born cadres to senior party, government and military slots.
The significant issue then is whether the large number of Fifth Generation cadres being groomed for ministerial and Politburo positions are up to scratch. This is particularly urgent given that despite China's ability to maintain a high growth rate, the leadership is facing unprecedented challenges on domestic and foreign fronts. Contradictions between the under-classes and the new elite of cadre-capitalists are intensifying, while China's aggressive power projection in faraway areas such as Africa and Latin America is raising alarm bells in capitals ranging from Tokyo to Washington.
In terms of resolving domestic problems, it seems advisable that the president's head-hunters should, in the interest of materializing Hu's "harmonious society," also look for future leaders among sectors that have always been under-represented in the Central Committee and the Politburo. For example, while peasants make up at least 70 percent of the population, there is hardly any Politburo member who speaks for their interests. It is ironic that during the chaotic 1950s and 1960s, when Chairman Mao rode roughshod over the country, quite a few "model farmers" and members of non-Communist parties were appointed to ministerial-level positions or above. The chances are not high that despite his apparent eagerness to learn from Mao, Hu would be tolerant enough to fill the party and government's top echelons with elements deemed incongruous with his main goal of prolonging stern one-party rule.

The Range Rover SV Autobiography is a ridiculously expensive tailgating SUV
"Event seating... hand crafted from beautiful Windsor leather"
By Ross Miller@ohnorosco Apr 1, 2015, 3:24pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: The Range Rover SV Autobiography is a ridiculously expensive tailgating SUV
"It looks expensive because it is expensive."
That's how Jaguar Land Rover succinctly described its new Range Rover SV Autobiography, as if to say the price itself was a major selling point. The luxury SUV, which debuted today at the New York International Auto Show, is one of the most expensive in the world — "from $199,495" to be exact, which gets you a 5.0-liter V8 engine.
But the SV Autobiography is less about the driver and more about everyone else in the car. The interior is stocked with monitors and deployable tables, a chiller compartment, and "deep twist pile mohair carpet mats." And then there's the "Event Seating... hand crafted from beautiful Windsor leather" (according to the press release). Unfortunately, Land Rover was not letting anyone open the trunk to see these seats (you can see the press image below). We were assured by a representative, however, that they're really cool.
There are very few SUVs in this price bracket — Mercedes' V12-powered G65 AMG was priced today from $217,900 — but car markers including Bentley, Lamborghini, and Rolls Royce are all rumored to be following suit soon enough. The SV Autobiography, in the meantime, will be on sale this summer. Perfect for playing beer pong with beer cased in the body of a squirrel and glass tumblers that date back to the 19th century.

As two girls who are constantly improving our homes, we've completed our fair share of DIY projects.
And in case you were wondering, most home improvement projects come with a fair amount of noise.
While this can obviously be disruptive to the people in your own home, it can be especially disruptive to your neighbors.
Luckily, because DIY projects are sort of our thing, we have some tried and true ways to tackle home improvement projects without making our neighbors hate us. We'll discuss how these tips vary depending on your living situation, with one of us living in a condo building in the city, the other in a single-family home in the suburbs.
I, Casey, live in a five-unit building in the heart of Chicago—and I'm super lucky. Why? Because I absolutely love all of my neighbors.
They all know about my passion for DIY and have come to embrace the noise that erupts from our unit every weekend or so.
However, the reason they love me in spite of that fact is because I've taken lots of the following measures to be as respectful as possible to everyone living under the same roof as me, especially with any of my large-scale projects.
Every HOA comes with its own rules. You should definitely give that little handbook a read before you start any projects.
In our building, we get together every few months to discuss finances, building issues, and other random items that pop up. Most condo buildings do this. Before my husband and I renovated our guest bathroom, we brought up our plan at our condo association meeting.
This was months before we were set to begin our project, but we wanted to get it on everyone's radar and address any concerns ahead of time.
It ended up working out wonderfully because not only were our neighbors supportive, but we were able to gain insight on a few contractors our neighbors had used in their own homes!
At these meetings, it's also important to give everyone your contact information so they can text or email you if things get too noisy or out of hand.
Giving your neighbors the go ahead to reach out at any point can potentially save you from headaches when the project begins. No one wants an angry neighbor pounding on their door!
In our building, we pay to have our trash and recycling hauled away each week. If our cans are overflowing, we face some extra charges and fines. When you're gutting a space, you're bound to have lots of trash, so make a plan to discard all of it.
Our plan was that we were able to pay our contractor to haul away all of the debris. This worked out perfectly because it didn't hog up valuable space in our building's crowded dumpster. Make a plan of attack before you start and let your neighbors know that you have things under control!
Home improvement projects bring loads of dust and dirt into your home. And sometimes? The mess can spill into the hallway and common areas of your building. Be respectful. Keep those spaces as clean as possible. After a long day of DIY, don't just clean up your own home, tackle those communal hallways too.
After we renovated our bathroom, I made sure to do a deep clean of the hallways and front of our building when the project was 100% finished. My neighbors appreciated it and I felt good knowing that our property was neat and tidy even after such a large construction project.
Your HOA may have specific rules on when you can do construction work. Ours didn't have set hours, but we never started a project before 8 a.m. and tried to always finish by 7 p.m.
If we were up early and wanted to get moving, we would only do quiet tasks (getting out tools, taping walls, etc.) and we kept the loud tasks (like using the wet saw to cut tile!) to mid-day.
It's also important to keep your neighbors in the loop when it comes to the timeline of your project. We thought our bathroom renovation would take four weeks, but it somehow extended into seven weeks. I emailed our neighbors a few times throughout the process to let them know that things were being pushed back and addressed any concerns. The new deadline ended up being a non-issue and I really believe it was because we were so open with our neighbors throughout the process.
When we (finally!) completed our bathroom project, we left handwritten thank you notes on everyone's front doors. We even went the extra mile and put coffee gift cards into each one. This was a simple way to say thanks for putting up with all of our noise and our neighbors really appreciated the gesture!
While Casey lives in a condo in the city, I navigate these same noisy projects a little differently inside a single-family home located in the suburbs. Some of her tips are still helpful to consider, but the rules are slightly different for neighborly etiquette when you're not living in such close quarters.
But even with the extra space a single family home offers, it's still important to consider your neighbors when tackling large and noisy projects! Here's how!
Sounds simple enough, but it's critically important to talk to your neighbors well in advance! Discussing your plans will avoid them feeling off-guard one the project (and noise) starts.
You also don't want to cause alarm if they start seeing foreign vehicles from contractors or workers parked outside of your home while you're away at work. Getting them in-the-know before the project starts will actually be to your advantage. Heck, get on their good side and maybe they could field a delivery if you're running late or let a worker inside if needed. Neighbors want to help – in most cases – especially when they know what's going on.
Securing a permit, if your city/village requires one, is essential before starting any large-scale projects. (And this will protect you just in case a problem arises from one of your neighbors.) If they are unhappy about the noise, or dumpster placement, or anything else, and then they take action to report you, not having a permit will be a bigger problem than your neighbor's complaints.
There have been plenty of times when we are knee-deep in a DIY project that we get up super early to continue. But, truly, saws are very noisy, so we typically wait for that step until it's appropriate, or we take the time to get everything set up early (even if it is outside) and don't cut until late in the morning.
Don't waste time waiting for your neighbors to get up, but don't go about your business waking them up either!
An easy way to keep neighbors in the loop is to invite them in a time or two throughout the process to share your progress! Show them what you're working on and how excited you are for the progress. Including your neighbors helps them feel special and they will be less inclined to be annoyed if things do get a little noisy or messy.
Overcommunicating is always a good idea to avoid confrontation. Don't be afraid to let your neighbor know when the dumpster is scheduled to get picked up, any problems that may impact your deadline, when a large delivery is expected, etc. The more they know in advance on some of these larger "issues", the fewer problems will arise. Use Nextdoor. Communicate, communicate and overcommunicate.
This overcommunication should also be applied to your contractors. Be sure to share with them your expectations on start times, end times, and any other issues that may impact the neighborhood. Don't go to your contractor only after you've heard complaints or it's become a full-blown problem. Being proactive and communicating your expectations in advance will hopefully help avoid any issues in your neighborhood.
Now it's time for the fun part! Once your noisy project is over, don't be afraid to invite some of the neighbors over to check out the new space and enjoy a few cocktails while they're there. We just had a large landscaping renovation happen that made our streets, sidewalks and overall curb appeal a huge mess for several weeks.
Once our patio was paved and the mess was cleared, we invited our neighbors over to enjoy the new space with some food, but most importantly, to thank them for their patience.
They were all so grateful and gracious, which gives me a lot more confidence to tackle another noisy project soon. Knowing I have their support makes the process a whole lot less stressful!
We hope these steps help you tackle your next noisy home improvement project while still keeping the peace. We're no Mr. Rogers, but we're confident you can tackle those DIY projects and still make it a beautiful day in the neighborhood for your neighbors.

Hospital Negligence Led to Amputation According to Lawsuit
Many car accidents result in injuries that require immediate medical attention. If necessary care is not provided, an injured victim in Texas can suffer serious consequences. For example, one out-of-state man claims that hospital negligence in the form of a lack of a timely action resulted in the amputation of his leg.
Court papers indicate that the 46-year-old man was struck by a car just after 6 a.m. one morning. Emergency responders were reportedly on scene within minutes and transported the man to the hospital. Doctors quickly determined that his leg was cold, and there was no blood flowing to it. A CT scan confirmed that he needed immediate surgical intervention to prevent an amputation.
However, the hospital allegedly did not have appropriate staff on hand to conduct the surgery and contacted a different hospital; when no one answered the phone at the second facility, workers at the first left a message. It wasn't until almost 8 hours after the accident that the man was transported. Unfortunately, workers at Coney Island Hospital, the place he was originally treated, allegedly failed to include test results from a CT scan. Repeating the test further delayed the surgery. His lawsuit claims that as a result of the delay, he lost his leg.
A representative for the man claims that his injuries required immediate medical attention and cited the Western Journal of Emergency Medicine as supporting the need for quick surgical intervention for injuries such as this. The man's accusations follow several citations made against the hospital after it failed to treat a woman's brain infection, claiming instead that she suffered from emotional issues. Even a single instance of hospital negligence is too much, but there are many people in Texas suffering as a result of inaction just as this man is. A successfully presented medical malpractice lawsuit often results in a monetary award to help cope with the financial repercussions of such harm but also typically prompts an internal review that could result in revisions in protocols to protect others.

Lots of people are currently trying to get into America: legal applicants, asylum seekers, illegal entrants. At the same time, drug cartels are trying to get their drugs into our lucrative market.
Is a wall (of whatever construction, or going by whatever name) a rational solution to either problem? Not really. An expensive 2,100-mile wall will do very little to correct problems down at the border. It will actually serve only one purpose: to pacify the knee-jerk-response faction inside the president's base.
• Hire more personnel to process the backlog of legal applicants and to process the asylum seekers.
• Use a combination of measures, mostly high-tech, but in some places physical barriers, to reduce illegal entries.
• Develop a high-tech means (seismology?) to find every new tunnel while it is being dug.
As for the drug problem, a rational solution would involve inspection of all vehicles (not one in 10) coming through the legal entry points. High-tech would be required here to avoid backups. Timely tunnel discoveries would take care of the other smuggling means.
Many targeted measures, not a one-size-fits-all wall.


And doing it barefoot is a bonus.
I remember this moment. I had not yet reached the summit. But at that moment, when the path broke out of the canopy and meandered its way along the edge of the mountain, I had had enough. And I had both a positive and a negative reason to sit down.
Here was a spectacular view. It seemed as good a time as any to just sit awhile and enjoy the moment. That was the positive.
The path would take me along the edge of the mountain and I wasn't at all sure I had the stamina to stay upright. I could envision me losing my balance and tumbling over … and down. That was the negative.
So I sat down. Taking off my shoes and socks and letting my toes wiggle in the breeze was a no brainer. Both were wet.
After laying the socks over a rock behind me to dry, I snapped this photo, posted it to my Facebook page, and laid back and stared. I was very content.
Then, I heard Elijah and Raleigh.
For most of our hike up, Elijah had been reminding his father that he DID NOT like heights. His dad would just say he could stop whenever it got too scary, and Elijah kept on going.
There he was, with his nine-year-old brother, scampering around the bend in the path ahead.
If it's not too high for Elijah, how can it be too high for me?
On went the still-wet socks. On went the still-damp shoes. And up I got.
The respite had been nice. But Grandmas must go where Grandmas must go.
And off I went. To the top.
Do you remember this shot from Lesson #1? I did make it all the way to the top. Thanks to Elijah and Raleigh's prompting.
How about you? How are you at stopping and staring?
#13 When the going gets tough, each step is of equal importance. #12 Sometimes, perseverance is more important than having fun. #11 Sometimes, there is no single, absolutely right place to put your foot. #10 Sometimes, when we try to follow the signs, it ends in disaster. #9 Sometimes, the path we need to take doesn't look like a path at all. #8 Sometimes, we just have to stop and listen.
I'm glad you made it to top–wet socks and shoes and all!
I think the height would be scary to me, too–but the view is certainly wonderful!
Hi Merril, I'm glad too. Though I'm struck by how easily I made the decision to stop. In hindsight, I think I actually enjoyed the view more from that lower vantage point, with my back against the rock and the sun warm on my toes. Up at the summit the wind howled and although the kids were scampering around under their father's eye, I clung to the ground, certain I'd be swept off at any moment. I'd wanted to take a 360 degree video once I got up there, but I forgot. I guess I don't do heights. OK. Back to work, both of us.
What gorgeous view, Janet, and congrats on making it all the way. I'm starting and stopping a lot these days. Taking a few moments here and there to gather thoughts, contemplate, and then move forward is, I believe, the only way to go!
Thanks, Joan. You've nicely paraphrased one of my daily mantras: One step at a time. And, seems to me you've been climbing your own Camel's Hump for a long tine. I'm excited for you, with your manuscript about to burst forth. Can't wait to read it.
Brava, Grandma Janet for risking all to see that glorious view. It reminds me that when we keep our eyes on the goal, we are able to overcome any obstacles –wet shoes and sox, tired bones et al. Also thanking that little breather along the way gave you some perspective. Good job!
Ah, Kathy. I love that you are adding your own lessons here. You remind me that my original idea for this series was to offer a prompt, then pull an ebook together from all the other lessons that readers came up with. But my need for a lazy summer won out. There are so many to pull from this one daylong trek. Thanks for adding yours.
Hats off to you, Janet. When those grandchildren can do it, we can too. And our courage at the very end teaches them resilience.
Stopping and staring for me right now involves my continuing amazement at how long it is taking to get to the "Box in the basement." I have been traveling so much this year that I haven't made much progress at all.
But the important thing is that I keep on climbing. Right?
Indeed it is the important thing. Unless it's time to stop and take a break. If you do, I recommend removing the shoes!
Stopping and staring is good. After all, you wouldn't want to miss anything by rushing ever onwards, would you? But then, going on is good too, otherwise you might miss seeing that glorious view from the top because the cloud has come in and shrouded the mountain in soggy white vapour. Then more than your feet and socks will be damp, your spirits will sag too because you missed your chance.
Someone like young Elijah is good to have around. He keeps you motivated and interested, and, best of all, challenged, for what is life without a challenge now and then?
Great Post, Janet. Thank you.
Indeed, Ian. If I get many more of these additional lessons to be learned, I'll have to reconsider that ebook. Keep 'em coming.
I've come to a whole new appreciation of the word, "sometimes." Absolutes wear me down. Love those challenges, love the energy of the grandkids, and also love the quiet spaces and times when I sit and stare. It's all part of the mix, is it not.
