In November/ December a consultation regarding the proposed Traffic Regulation Orders associated with the above scheme.
There was a significant response rate to many differing elements of the proposals.
A decision on the scheme has now been taken and can be viewed using the link below.
Thank you for your contact in November/ December regarding the proposed Traffic Regulation Orders associated with the above scheme.
A decision on the scheme has now been taken and can be viewed using the below link:
Birmingham City Council plans to undertake highway works to deliver a segregated cycle route along the A38 between Selly Oak and Birmingham City Centre. This will involve the introduction of a number of Traffic Regulations Orders (TROs), which will result in the restricting of vehicle movements along the Bristol Road (A38) corridor. These restrictions to turning movements are necessary to install the proposed segregated cycle route.
We are now seeking views on the proposed TROs. The consultation period runs from Thursday 23rd November to Thursday 21st December 2017. Please note that previously received objections (in March and April 2017) to this scheme will be considered alongside any new objections.
Further details of the proposals; drawings, a statement of the Council's reasons for the proposals and relevant technical information, are attached or may also be examined (by appointment) during normal working hours at:
Letters are being delivered to households & businesses in the area informing them of this information and process.
When leaving your comments, please indicate/clarify the location(s) and proposed measure(s) you are commenting on. The easiest way to do this is to include the road names, junctions, whether a crossing, turning or cycle track etc and/or use the Drawing Number.
Any person wishing to object to the proposed Orders should write to the Traffic Manager at Highways, 1 Lancaster Circus Queensway, Birmingham B4 7DQ stating the grounds for objection by the 21st December 2017.

This may be the simplest, easiest to make, least ingredient recipe on here, but I swear this is one of my favorite things I've mastered. After many sessions in front of my vitamix adding and subtracting multiple ingredients and causing my neighbors to officially hate me (the vitamix thunderstorm of sound is not something people always wake up to with a smile at 6:30 AM), I finally found what works. That being said, this recipe is very adaptable to whoever will be gulping it down. Don't like peanut butter? First of all, who are you? That aside, fine, you can easily remove it from the shake. Like a more tropical feel? Add in some mango or pineapple. Like it thicker? Throw some coconut milk or yogurt in there. Even get wild and toss in a frozen ½ avocado (sounds very odd but thickens this bad boy up). The world is your vitamix and the ingredients are all just living in it.
My suggestions for substituting ingredients would be:
1. Don't get too crazy with fruit; even though they are individually healthy, it can add up to a lot of sugar consumption that early in the morning. I try to stick to 2 servings of fruit (1 frozen banana and a handful of strawberries)
2. Try to keep a green in there; it is the easiest way to sneak in some vegetables in the morning and truly does not add much taste
- Large handful of kale or spinach
- Frozen banana (1)
- Frozen strawberries (½ Cup)
- Spoonful of peanut or almond butter (I prefer Trader Joe's or Justin's)
- Spoonful of chia seeds
- Water (1 ¼ Cup)
1. Freeze a ripened banana for at least 5 hours
2. Combine all ingredients in a blender
3. Blend until desired consistency; feel free to add more water if needed
4. Drink up!

We have some animals on our farm, and we know what it is like to lose them. We have lost animals, and we usually find the bodies to confirm that they are dead - but not Chocolate.
We have 13 chickens. They live in two coops, and they are all nice, cute, and awesome little chickens. Each coop has a back area, with flashing red lights called Night Guards. In the night they are locked up in there, and in the morning when we let them out they have about two acres to explore, but hawks can get them and they can get stuck in brambles, but it is rare. We do not see a lot of chickens dying though. I think it is our two roosters who keep an eye out for hawks, they always give out an alarm when they see a hawk and they all run for this big bush or the bamboo. Good old Sam and Joe. But with the brambles, I think they are all extra careful and that is the reason we do not see chickens stuck in there. We have had only one chicken stuck in there, and that was Chocolate when she was littler. We found her and got her out, but she was covered in scratches, but she was all right. We almost always find the missing hen. We have a few chickens who fly over the fences and scratch in the garden and hide eggs. Chocolate was one of those naughty girls.
A few nights before Chocolate went missing another chicken went missing, named Cinnamon. She is the best flyer and can fly over no-climb fencing. We looked for her, and we couldn't find her. I went to bed, feeling sad. I was worried. The next day I was awoken by my dad holding a chicken- Cinnamon! I was overjoyed. That same night she was gone again and I was not worried. She did appear again. She did that for 2 nights then seemed to not like it and stayed on the roost.
That night that Cinnamon decided she liked the perch better, I counted the chickens in one of the coops. We are supposed to have 12 in the coop. I counted 11. I tried again. 11. 11. 11. I looked in the other coop. I was not that worried. I looked a bit more around and then thought Maybe Chocolate went away to go sleep somewhere else like Cinnamon. I said "Good night 12 little chickens!" I was sure Chocolate was not dead, but I was a little worried.
Day 1:
Chocolate was not seen in the morning. I was scared, but for some reason I felt she was alive. It was a nice, sunny day, and it was a nice temperature outside. I looked in the hidden nests we know of, around the yard, in the garden. She was none of these places, but that night, I still said, " Good night 12 chickens!" In the coop she stays in.
Day 2:
It was 100* F.
I looked more desperately. I knew Chocolate was alive. But she would probably roast in the heat. When I locked up the chickens, I still saw nothing. But I felt like she was alive, so I still said " Good night 12 little hens!" In the coop she always slept in. When I went to bed worried, my mom suggested in the thorns. Chocolate had gotten stuck in them once. I wanted to go out now, but it was late.
Day 3:
Chocolate was still missing. I ran outside with clippers and did a hunt through the woods. Nothing. Not a Chocolate to be seen. It rained a lot, and was sunny some also. The chickens didn't seem to notice:
Sam and Hermione. Sam in back, Hermoine front.
One of our Dark Cornish hens, Darky.
Polly, my golden beauty.
Sally in action.
Unlike the hens, I was worried. Chocolate was still gone when I locked up the chickens but I still said good night to 12 hens in the coop for Chocolate and her pals.
Day 4:
It was a cloudy, gloomy day. I was still feeling that Chocolate was alive, but it was wearing off. Later in the afternoon while I was on BYC, my dad popped through the door with a chicken. " Is this Chocolate?" He asked. I prayed it was and sure enough, there was a weak, pale Chocolate. I took her and gave her millions of kisses. My dad had found her trapped in a hay bale with an egg. She must of been looking for a spot to lay and the hay fell down. We fed her, and she ate for 10 minutes than drank for 30, non stop. She is okay now, back with the flock!

Local SEO – Strategy and Objectives
The benefits of featuring prominently in search engines when localised terms are entered can be enormous if you are a small business which relies on local custom.
Even for companies whose services aren't location-specific, there are real gains to be made from adding in some local focus to your SEO work.
Common Sense
The good news for small business owners is that it's actually easier to optimise for local searches than many people realise. A lot of the subjects we'll look at in the coming sections will make sense right away.
Much of it has to do with claiming your profiles and making sure your company information – primarily your name, address and phone number – is accurate and consistent everywhere that it features.
Beyond that, you will also want to make sure that your web pages are well optimised for local searches and that you feature in plenty of local listings.
Paid-for Strategies
There is a lot that can be achieved with local SEO for very little or no expense. However, there are also good options available that require payments to the likes of Google.
Deciding whether or not paying for Google ads is worth your while as a company is not always easy, but their use can reap significant rewards in many cases.
Google ads can help ensure that your website is prominently positioned when relevant local searches are entered, and could therefore be well worth paying for. However, whether they are worth it will depend on exactly how valuable an individual lead is to your company.
In any case, whether you decide to use paid-for ads or not, the fundamental aspects of local SEO which we'll be looking at are still important if you want to maximise the potential of online traffic for your business.
Local Aims
One of the key advantages of local SEO as an online lead generation strategy is that it helps to thin out the competition that you are battling with for relevant search engine prominence.
This is true simply because there are far fewer companies and service providers competing for associations with the same location-specific terms than is the case with more generic searches.
As a result, smaller businesses can often compete more effectively for a high search engine ranking in the context of certain locally-focused search entries, even to the extent that they outrank much larger providers of similar services.
Furthermore, strategies aiming at local search engine prominence can deliver much better returns on investments than more general alternatives. This is because people who enter their locations into search engines are generally closer to making purchases than those who do not.
Covering the Bases
As ever, when it comes to SEO work, if you want to be completely effective and for your gains to be sustainable, it is important to be thorough and diligent. That means retaining a focus on all of the on-page optimisation elements that you will be familiar if you've already been able to carry out more general organic SEO work.
It is also crucial to understand the importance of various local listings and any directories that list details of companies in your area. In addition, it helps to upload quality photos displaying your business if you have them, and to be clear about what you offer and when you're open or available.
Securing rave reviews, getting involved in local activities and events as much as possible, and publishing locally-oriented content of various sorts can also help move your website in the right direction as far as local SEO is concerned.
Generating Viable Leads
There's no guarantee that internet users who find their way to your website in search of a particular service provider will end up becoming a customer. However, local SEO can help keep a steady stream of viable leads coming to your website via search engines. This can only improve your prospects of consistently generating sales.

618 Bistro, a Mediterranean-influenced restaurant, should be open by mid-week at Raleigh's Marketplace at Lake Boone, according to its manager and operating partner, Carolyn Ghezzi. Chef Alex Azzam previously ran the kitchen at Ciao! Osteria in Apex, but his prior focus on Italian food is not what 618 Bistro is all about: the cuisine here is very broad, including Thai, Middle Eastern, and Italian influences. The lunch menu features salads, panini and a handful of other items.
The website is live, the prices are reasonable, the staff is excited, and they even have a nice outdoor dining area, which is great this time of the year.
But most importantly, this place is next door to my office, so it gives me another place to walk to for lunch. It is all about me, right?

SEATTLE – (July 20) Seattle University women's basketball has released its 2018-19 schedule, featuring 13 home games at the Redhawk Center. The defending Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Champions will face three Pac-12 opponents and travel to Hawai'i for two games in November.
Season tickets are now on sale. Season tickets start at $50 per seat and include 14 homes games plus other special benefits. Also new this year is a family plan 4-pack of tickets! For $180, fans receive 4 season tickets for all 14 home games making family entertainment this winter affordable and fun.
Suzy Barcomb enters her third year as SU's head coach, having guided the Redhawks to their first-ever WAC Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance. Barcomb is one of only two active coaches to have won a conference tournament title in Division I, Division II, and Division III.
"We once again have a challenging preseason schedule to test our team's abilities right out of the gate," said Barcomb. "We have a great mix of the five surrounding conferences, against top notch programs. This will allow us to experience several different styles of play in an effort to better prepare our team for the Western Athletic Conference."
The Redhawks host Northwest University for an exhibition on Nov. 2 at the Redhawk Center. They begin the regular season on Nov. 6, as Cal State Fullerton visits campus. Three days later, SU welcomes Northern Arizona for an evening tip-off.
Seattle U then heads to Hawai'i for a pair of games in Honolulu. On Nov. 16, SU will take on Arizona and then two days later, it faces Hawai'i.
After Thanksgiving, Barcomb's squad makes the trip south to Portland State (Nov. 24) before playing at Utah on Nov. 26.
On Nov. 30, SU hosts Washington at the Redhawk Center. Pepperdine is next to visit campus, as the Waves come to town for a Dec. 2 contest.
The Redhawks follow with a six-game stretch that features five road contests. They start in California, facing Pacific (Dec. 6) and UC Davis (Dec. 8). Following a home game against Cal Poly (Dec. 17), Seattle U will play at Nevada (Dec. 20) and Idaho State (Dec. 22). In their first game after Christmas, the Redhawks head to UC Irvine on Dec. 29 to conclude non-conference action.
"One of our team goals is to have greater success in the preseason," said Barcomb. "We will be considered a young team, with only a handful of returning players with significant minutes played last season. We have a large task in front of us, but this team seems ready to face the challenge."
SU opens WAC play with a three-game homestand. On Jan. 3, it hosts CSU Bakersfield in a rematch of last season's WAC Championship game. Grand Canyon (Jan. 5) and Utah Valley (Jan. 12) visit the Redhawk Center in early 2019.
On Jan. 17, Seattle U plays at defending WAC regular-season champion New Mexico State. Two days, it heads to UTRGV.
The following weekend, Chicago State and Kansas City make the trip west to SU. On Feb. 2, the Redhawks travel to meet new WAC member California Baptist. A trip to Utah Valley (Feb. 9) leads into a weekend home stand, as UTRGV (Feb. 14) and New Mexico State (Feb. 16) come to the Redhawk Center.
To close out the regular season, SU hits the road for four of its last five outings. It visits the midwest for games at Kansas City (Feb. 21) and Chicago State (Feb. 23). On Feb. 28, the Redhawks welcome California Baptist for senior day.
Seattle U then heads to CSU Bakersfield (March 7) and Grand Canyon (March 9) to conclude the regular season.
The 2019 WAC Tournament is the next week, as the Redhawks will look to defend their conference championship at The Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.

Collaborating with our partners at the National Public Housing Museum, as well as local entrepreneurs and Archeworks, we developed a proposal for an Entrepreneurship Hub at the National Public Housing Museum, which will be designed by Landon Bone Baker Architects. Through a series of workshops facilitated by Civic Projects, residents of public housing developed and prototyped ideas including spaces to convene, shared workshop and room for learning within the Hub.
The Hub
A welcoming, collaborative space, the Hub will serve as a resource for the community. Based on an early workshop, we developed preliminary renderings that demonstrate the multiple uses and programs to be housed in the Hub. Additional feedback from public housing entrepreneurs will help inform the Hub's flexible design as a space promoting learning and substantive exchange.
multi-purpose program
Based on feedback from public housing entrepreneurs, preliminary design renderings have been developed to showcase a Hub that is flexible, provides professionalism and serves multiple purposes. NPHM staff, entrepreneurs, community members, designers and consultants will work together through workshops and engagement to develop a Hub that serves the surrounding community.

As a COHORTE user, you need to have Java ( >= 1.6 ) and Python ( >= 3 ) installed on your system. Next, you need to download and install COHORTE on your system.
The objective of this getting started tutorial is to get you familiar with COHORTE concepts as quickly as possible. There is no need to start coding at this step. You find other advanced tutorials in the tutorials section of the documentation page.
The following picture depicts the architecture of the to be developed application. It consists of one component
HelloComponents which requires a set of other components providing HELLO SERVICE (
HelloEnglish, etc).
HelloComponents component provides a web page that shows the list of available HELLO SERVICE providers and allows users to invoke their
say_hello() and shows the returned message on the web page.
Hello components (implementing the HELLO SERVICE) can be implemented using different programming languages (Java and/or Python) and can be placed in different remote nodes. Developers have not to worry about this details. COHORTE manages to have all the application components interacts as they where in one place (Using Remote Services).
The remainder of this tutorial is organized in four steps :
- STEP 1 : creating a simple application on one node, but two seperate isolates.
- STEP 2 : using two distributed nodes to host the same application (without changing the components implementation code).
- STEP 3 : using a mixture of Java and Python components.
- STEP 4 : crash-test
Creating a simple application (one node)
In this first step of the tutorial, we will instantiate the components
HelloComponents (HC),
HelloEnglish (EN),
HelloFrench (FR), and
HelloSpanish (ES). We want to seperate between HC component and other components providing HELLO SERVICE (which can contain third-party non controlled code). COHORTE supports this separation by using Isolates. Isolates are a seperate process with all the needed runtime infrastructure allowing the execution of the managed components.
The following picture depicts the desired resilient architecture. If one of the components providing the HELLO SERVICE fails, there will be no impact on HC component! As they are deployed on two seperate containers or isolates (web and components-1).
Preparing the execution node
- Open a new terminal and type the following command on your working directory (check this page for more detail about creating and starting Cohorte Nodes):
$ cohorte-create-node -n node1 -c hello-app
This command will create a new directory named
node1 containing an executable
run (which launches the created COHORTE node) and two folders
conf (containing configuration files) and
repo (where user bundles should be placed).
- Download the first bundle of this tutorial containing the implementation of the specified components in Python.
- Extract the downloaded zip file and put the extracted
hellodirectory in
Preparing the deployment plan (composition)
In order to have this deployment plan corresponding to the resilient architecture detailed before, you should edit the
node1/conf/composition.js file to specify the set of components that will be instantiated on each isolate.
It's done! all what's you need to do now is starting
node1 to launch your application.
Starting the node
Change your working directory to
node1 and type :
$ ./run --app-id step1 --top-composer true --http-port 8080
--app-id argument is required for each COHORTE node. If you have more than one node (as we will see further), all the nodes should be started with the same APP ID. The
--top-composer option is set to true which means that this node is started as a Top Composer. The Top Composer is responsable for calculating the distribution of the application components (using
conf/composition.js) and ordering the different nodes and by then isolates to instantiate components in the right place.
Testing our Hello Components application
Open a web browser and enter this url :
This will open the administration dashboard of the Cohorte system. It contains the list of all the nodes/isolates/components of the application. You notice that we have one Node (called node1), two Isolates (components-1 and web) containing the list of components as specified in the
- Click on the web isolate and copy the HTTP SERVICE PORT property value.
Notice that you can also retrieve the http port of the web isolate from the terminal you have used to launch the node. Type
http command on the terminal to have this information.
$ http+--------------+------------------------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------+-------+ | Name | UID | Node Name | Node UID | HTTP | +==============+====================================+===========+======================================+=======+ | components-1 | 9fa3c812-64b0-499e-8b65-6ac5fe8bcf | node1 | 71c96fe6-5ce2-43c9-bafc-6f0905d8cf74 | 63625 | +--------------+------------------------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------+-------+ | web | ac0dd576-a7fb-4c34-b7ab-b68a810c38 | node1 | 71c96fe6-5ce2-43c9-bafc-6f0905d8cf74 | 56316 | +--------------+------------------------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------+-------+
- Open a new browser page and access the servlet of this isolate :
It's time to play with yout distributed Cohorte application :)
If you did not succeed to construct your first node, you can download it from here.
To stop COHORTE (all running nodes), type
shutdown command on the terminal, or click on
Stop all nodes on Web Admin.
Distributing the application (two nodes)
In this second step, we will distribute our components among two nodes (which can be physically located on a local network area - or on Internet).
We move the ES Component to this new second node.
Here is the new depoyment configuration (composition) for this case.
Preparing the second execution node
Start first by creating a second COHORTE node named
node2 at the parent level.
$ cohorte-create-node --name node2
Then, copy the same hello bundle located on
node1/repo into
node2/repo directory.
In future versions, you will not copy your bundles manually into the repo directory of the participating nodes. This will be done automatically using an internal provisioning module.
We will then update our composition file to fit this new situation.
Updating the composition file
Ensure to have stopped the previous execution and update the
composition.js file located on
node1/conf as follow :
ES component is specified to be in another isolate (named "components-2") rather than "components-1" isolate containing the first components. In the actual version of COHORTE you can not have two different isolates with the same name in two different nodes!
It's done! all what's you need to do now is starting
node1 as Top composer and
node2 as simple node (also called Node Composer).
Starting the nodes
node1$ ./run --app-id step2 --top-composer true
You can test this first part of the application as your HC component is instantiated in this node (on web isolate). Follow the same steps as in the first part of this tutorial to find the http port and to launch the web interface. You notice that there is only two components FR and EN. This is because ES component is specified to be instantiated on
node2 which is not yet started.
In a separate terminal, start
node2 as follow :
node2$ ./run --app-id step2
Refresh the webpage provided by HC Component. You will notice that ES component is detected and used by the HC component even if it was deployed in a separate remote node.
Try also to stop the second node
node2 (type
quit on its terminal window, or using Web Admin interface by clicking on the node's name, and then
Stop button). Refresh the web interface, you will notice the departure of ES component.
If you did not succeed to complete the second step, you can download it from here.
Using heterogeneous components (Java and Python)
All the components used until now are implemented in Python. We will extend our application by introducing a new component that implements the HELLO SERVICE in Java (HelloArabic - AR).
- Stop the running nodes of the previous step (use
shutdowncommand - or stop node seperatly using
quitcommand on each one).
- Donwload the bundle (jar file) containing the implementation code of the AR component.
- Put the downloaded file
- Update the
composition.jsfile located on
node1/confto add this new AR. It should be instantiated on
node2within an isolate named
Starting the nodes
Start the first node with one more argument
--interpreter set to Python 3 interpreter command.
node1$ ./run --app-id step3 --top-composer true --interpreter python3
This is because Java isolates needs Python 3 to work property (internal Cohorte's dependency).
Start the second node as done before :
node2$ ./run --app-id step3 --interpreter python3
Ensure to have Python 3.4 installed on your system. If Python 2 is also installed in the same machine, you should specify
python3 as interpreter when starting COHORTE nodes.
You will notice that AR component is used by HC component like other Python component!
If you did not succeed to complete this third step, you can download it from here.
We introduce a new component Ghost which has a faulty
say_hello method implementation.
Cohorte manages the dynamic isolation of components on different isolates. If one component fails and brokes down the runtime container, Cohorte sperates all the components to different dynamically created isolates.
Composition file :
We should force one component to be in a specific isolat only if we are sure that is safe. Otherwise, we should not provide a specific isolate name in the composition specification and let Cohorte manages all the components and isolats on your behalf. In our case, the only considered safe component is HC.
For test purposes, we put Ghost component on node1.
Initial runtime composition :
Cohorte putted all the components of
node1 on one isolate web. Initialy it considers that all of them are safe.
node2 it creates two isolates as we have to different component runtimes (Java and Python).
To causes a crash :
- Open the HC webpage and click on the Ghost component's say_hello link.
First crash :
Node2 is not affected, it is not showed hereafter.
as first solution, Cohorte puts HC component on its seperate defined isolate web. The other components are moved to a newly created isolate. Cohorte tries always to have the minimum number of isolates at one time.
After a second crash :
Notice that the initial web isolate was crashed, we have now a new web isolate with the same name (you can check its UID). Open again the webpage of HC component, and click again on the Ghost component.
You have now this new composition :
The component Ghost source of problems is isolated from other safe components.
We can fixe the *web* isolate configuration to not have a different HTTP port each time the *web* isolate is created. To do that, add the following configuration file (
web.js) to your
node1/conf directory.
The nodes of this last step 4 are available here :

Talk about taking it down to the wire: Even as they were watching the ball drop, Americans still didn't know what tax policy they'd be facing come April 15. But by the time the smoke cleared after Washington's fiscal cliff face-off, a new, far-reaching tax law had been approved and signed, with broad consequences for advisors and their clients.
There are other changes in play as well: new Medicare taxes laid out in the federal health care overhaul, the end of the 2% payroll tax holiday, the return of phase-outs for itemized deductions and a higher threshold for writing off medical expenses. Affluent Californians will also face an added state income tax, approved by voters in November under Proposition 30.
"For people in the higher income brackets, in some shape or form, taxes are going up," says Lyle Benson, president of financial planning and CPA firm L.K. Benson in Baltimore and chairman of the executive committee of the American Institute of CPAs' Personal Financial Planning division.
To gear up for the tax changes, Financial Planning asked a dozen tax professionals to highlight the most important strategies you can use to help clients handle the new rules. Many of the planning ideas that follow are geared toward helping you ease clients into the new, higher tax reality.
Unlike other tax changes this year, the Medicare surtax hasn't been on the negotiating table since last summer, when the Supreme Court upheld the health care law. To cover its costs, beginning this year, there is an additional 3.8% levy on unearned net income for individuals making more than $200,000 or married couples with joint incomes of more than $250,000.
Of course, there is no impact for those earning less than those amounts. And for clients well above the cutoffs, there's little that planning can do to minimize the surtax. But "to those clients who are at that threshold, my best advice for them is to minimize unearned income," says Theodore Sarenski, a certified financial planner and certified public accountant who heads Blue Ocean Strategic Capital in Syracuse, N.Y.
Advisors and their clients may want to think carefully about shifting more money into municipal bonds, which pay tax-free income, Sarenski says.
Timing matters, too: Individuals should consider when to realize gains, perhaps focusing on years when their earned income falls below the threshold – such as during the year of a job loss or in retirement – and can control their unearned investment income that way.
But remember that the tax doesn't apply only to income from traditional investments: Rental income and capital gains from a property sale also fall into this category. "Someone who is single and living in my area, who bought a home 30 years ago for $100,000, may be selling it for over $1 million," says Michael Eisenberg, founder of Eisenberg Financial Advisors in Los Angeles. "Imagine what their capital gain is going to be."
You're not done with Medicare yet: On top of the surtax on unearned income, there's an additional 0.9% Medicare payroll tax for high earners, taking the Medicare levy to 2.35% from 1.45%. "That one's a little sneaky," says Tim Steffen, director of financial planning for Baird's Private Wealth Management Group in Milwaukee.
Steffen cautions that although the tax is applied to incomes of more than $200,000 for individuals and more than $250,000 for married couples filing jointly, some high earners may be taxed even if they don't reach the cutoff. The reason: In order to comply with the provision, payroll departments have been advised to begin tacking on the additional 0.9% for married employees making more than $200,000 because there's no way for employers to know how much the spouse makes – "even if, ultimately, that employee is not subject to the tax," Steffen says.
Be sure to review withholdings on your clients' W-4 forms if they fall into that gap. (And it's not a bad idea even if they don't: The IRS issued 104 million refund checks last year, suggesting that most taxpayers are having too much withheld from their paychecks.)
With the arrival of a new high-end tax bracket, the top marginal rate for the highest earners has jumped to 39.6% from 35%. To keep taxes down, you'll want to focus on a client's adjusted gross income and find as many above-the-line deductions – technically "adjustments" – as possible.
Contributions to a 401(k) or 403(b) plan (which can top out at $17,500 following a 2013 limit increase, and more for those age 50 and older) will reduce a client's adjusted gross income – so "you want to maximize how much [goes] into the 401(k)," Sarenski says. Other items that fall into this category are moving expenses, health savings accounts and expenses listed on Schedule C forms for self-employed clients.
The accord in Washington offered some certainty about tax rates over the next few years – and the new rates favor deferred compensation strategies for executives, argues Daniel Yu, a financial planner and managing director of EisnerAmper Wealth Advisors in New York. "Now that we know that the top tax rate is 39.6%, I might dip my toe back into deferred compensation," he says.
But timing is key, Yu says. In qualified plans, the deferred compensation can grow tax-free and can then be rolled over into an IRA to continue the tax-advantaged growth. Because the top tax rate isn't likely to go higher for the next few years, retirees withdrawing their funds in the near future probably won't wind up paying more than the new top rate and can benefit from the tax deferral, Yu says.
Longer term, however, the tax picture becomes fuzzier, as a future Congress and president will likely take another swipe at deficits. So Yu is cautious on deferred comp as a strategy for younger workers. "Right now, my exposure is 39.6%, compared to … what? The top rate could be 45% at some time in the future," he says.
With the wealthiest taxpayers now paying higher rates, you might in theory be advising your clients to bundle as many deductions into the current year, because the value of those deductions is greater at the higher tax rate.
But it's not that simple. Prior to 2010, itemized deductions were phased out for those who topped certain thresholds. The phase-outs were allowed to expire through 2012, but they're back now. "That's one of those stealth income tax increases that people may not notice for a while, unless somebody does an analysis of what their taxes would have been with and without the phase-out," Steffen says.
The phase-out limits taxpayers' ability to fully deduct charitable contributions, for instance, starting at $300,000 adjusted gross income for married filing jointly and $250,000 for single filers – both thresholds that are less than where the highest tax bracket kicks in.
For taxpayers whose adjusted gross income exceeds those upper limits, the itemized deductions (not including medical expenses, investment interest, casualty or theft losses or allowable gambling losses) will be reduced by the lesser of 3% of adjusted gross income in excess of the threshold amount, or 80% of the itemized deduction otherwise allowable for the tax year.
What to do? Well for one thing, don't be so fast to take those itemized deductions at once. And again, if adjusted gross income can be reduced, there is more likelihood of preserving as much of the value of deductions. "But people aren't always interested in reducing their income," Steffen says.
Also changing this year is the threshhold at which your clients can deduct medical expenses, which is now 10% of adjusted gross income, up from 7.5%. Sarenski recommends an aggressive approach. "I would suggest loading up in one year, then not doing it the next year, and then [in the third year] do it again," he says.
Of course, it's not always possible to time medical expenses. But advise clients to replace a costly pair of eyeglasses, for example, during a year they do extensive dental work that's not covered, Sarenski says.
How you allocate assets is important, but so is where you keep those assets. So the tax increases might be a good time to reconsider which assets to hold in tax-sheltered accounts. Assets that give off taxable income, and are therefore tax inefficient, are best held in tax-deferred vehicles like 401(k)s and IRAs. Investments with significant capital appreciation, however, can reside in taxable accounts because rates on long-term gains are only rising to 20% (or 23.8% for high earners, with that Medicare surtax), and because you and your clients can control when to realize those gains.
Note that income from Treasury inflation-protected securities, bonds and REITs are taxed at the ordinary tax rate. "Stocks go into a taxable account, but TIPS and REITs go into a tax deferred," says Jean-Luc Bourdon of Brightpath Wealth Planning in Santa Barbara, Calif.
Be careful about selling securities that would generate gains just to move them, though. That wouldn't be terribly tax efficient, would it?
For many advisors, municipal bonds are the go-to source of tax-free income. This year, they're an even better deal because their income isn't subject to the Medicare surtax. Buying in-state munis also nets filers dual tax-free income – especially important in high tax states like California, New York and New Jersey.
Though their yield may not seem like much – 1.75% for AAA-rated 10-year bond – on an after-tax basis, that compares favorably to Treasuries.
"If I have someone with an AGI north of $400,000 or $500,000, then I would probably have the lion's share of their assets in munis," Yu says.
But there are a couple of complicating factors with owning munis. First, bear in mind that investor interest in munis has been high over recent years, driving up prices – and higher prices mean lower yields for bonds.
Also, the uncertain interest rate environment should make even the biggest muni fan a little wary. "I wouldn't want a client out greater than 10 years," says Yu, who also oversees investments for his clients. "You do sacrifice some yield by staying shorter, but it gives me more latitude and flexibility."
Tax preparers are always baffled when wealthy clients don't take advantage of the full yearly gift-tax exclusion, which in 2013 climbs to $14,000 per recipient. Even with the gift exemption locked at $5 million, the gift-tax exclusion can help a high-net-worth client move even more assets out of an estate.
"A married couple with 10 grandchildren has the ability to gift $280,000 a year," Benson says. "To be able to move almost $300,000 out of a wealthy couple's estate every year can really chip away at the estate tax."
But some clients may not want the money out of their control. For them, consider a 529 college savings plan, suggests Bourdon of Brightpath Wealth Planning. Clients can gift up to five years all at once (getting five years of the exclusion, assuming they live for the full five years), but they can remain the account's owners. If they have gifting remorse, they can withdraw the funds, albeit with a penalty.
For clients who have no problem with gifting, however, a 529 may not be the best use of the annual gift allowance. Here's why: Education payments aren't subject to the gift tax if made directly to an institution. Advise these individuals to still make a yearly gift and then pay separately for school when the time comes.
The extension of the $5 million gift and estate-tax exemption and the modest rise in estate taxes may lull some high-net-worth clients into a false sense of security. But be warned: Other estate planning tools may be on the chopping block in the future. One area President Obama has singled out in the past is grantor retained annuity trusts.
Here's how a GRAT works: An individual sets up and funds a GRAT for a certain number of years. The funds are invested in any way the owner wishes. Each year, the owner must take a certain amount of money out of the trust as an annuity. The IRS assumes the GRAT will grow at a given rate, and sets it monthly for new GRATs. Here's the sweet part: That rate is currently 1.2%. Anything the trust earns beyond that can be passed on to beneficiaries free of gift taxes. "Because the IRS rate is so low, it's not hard to outperform that rate," Benson says.
One hitch: If clients die before the expiration of the trust, the remaining money must be added back into the estate. That gets particularly tricky given that the Obama administration wants to impose a 10-year minimum on GRATs, up from the current two-year requirement. Bottom line, advises Steffen: "Do the GRAT sooner rather than later."
One estate planning technique that makes sense more because of the sluggish economy than the tax changes is a grantor trust. This tool may appeal particularly to business owners, who can gift undervalued assets, such as shares of a closely held business, to the trust.
"As the business recovers through the economic cycle, the appreciation would happen outside their taxable estate," says Annika Ferris, a partner and wealth advisor with Atlanta-based Brightworth Private Wealth Counsel.
The last three years were a godsend to anyone considering a Roth conversion. Without income limits, high earners could convert traditional IRAs into Roths, paying income tax up front, but at a historically low rate. In exchange, they could let their accounts grow tax-free and have tax-free withdrawals in the future, a time when tax rates will most likely be higher. On top of that, the markets' rise over the last few years has eased the conversion pain, in many cases making back the money that account holders paid in taxes.
The new higher tax rates do make the Roth a bit less attractive than it was before, and many taxpayers may crave the tax deduction of traditional IRAs – but don't rule out Roths quite yet. "I think that, for 2013, a Roth can still make sense depending on how long you have to go before retirement," says Mark Luscombe, principal federal tax analyst with tax publisher CCH. Clients who have 10 to 20 years can easily break even on the amount of tax they pay.
Further, a Roth can be done piecemeal over a number of years, depending on a client's cash flow. Or time the conversion for a year when clients might have negative income – perhaps when they're starting a new venture or experiencing a job loss. "People still think that they have to do this all at once," says Michael Goodman, president of Wealthstream Advisors in New York. "If I have someone with a $400,000 traditional IRA [and a lower income], I'll tell them we can convert 40 grand every year and keep the tax rate down."
For clients who don't qualify for a Roth contribution due to income restrictions, Brightworth's Ferris suggests a back door. She advises clients to make a yearly contribution to a nondeductible IRA, and then convert almost immediately to a Roth. Bear in mind that, by waiting too long, clients run the risk that the account has appreciated and may owe some tax.
Finally, notes Bourdon, a Roth conversion carries little risk because the IRS allows taxpayers to recharacterize a conversion within 18 months. "It gives you the benefit of hindsight," Bourdon notes. "If you do a conversion and it goes down, you can always change your mind and recharacterize regardless of tax rates."
Don't stop at retirement planning with Roths, Yu says. They can also be used as a powerful estate planning tool.
Converting a traditional IRA or a rollover from a retirement account to an IRA means paying tax up front, with a top rate of 39.6%. After the conversion, the asset can grow tax-free throughout a client's life and later that of his or her spouse. After that, it can be passed to heirs, who will be required to take annual minimum distributions based on life expectancy.
Compare this strategy with leaving the assets in the estate and then paying estate tax, now set at 40% for estates in excess of $5 million, at the time the (presumably appreciated) assets are inherited. "You've essentially made a gift that you don't need to pay gift tax on," Yu says.
Clients who are charitably inclined can front-load their charitable donations all at once without deciding where to direct those gifts. A contribution to a donor-advised fund – essentially a mutual fund set up for the purpose of funding charities – can be written off this year, even if donations are not made until subsequent years.
Depending on your client's income, those gifts may be subject to the new phase-out. That doesn't mean they're not worth doing, though. If the gift is large enough relative to a client's income, the deduction might be worth more in the new higher tax bracket than it was in 2012.
"This would be a good strategy for people for whom 2013 may be their last high-income year as a way to accelerate deductions," says Steffen, of Baird. "They can wait until 2014 or 2015 to decide where they want to dole out the money."
As if taxes weren't high enough in California, they're going even higher. Proposition 30, approved by voters in November, tacks on an additional 1% on incomes between $500,000 and $600,000, another 2% between $600,000 and $1 million, and 3% beyond that for married couples filing jointly. (The thresholds are essentially halved for single filers.) What's more, the tax is retroactive to the start of 2012 and came late in the year, so advisors had little time to prepare.
Shifting money into tax-free California municipal bonds might alleviate some of the sting. However, California's finances are still shaky, so advisors need to be cautious about how much money they think is prudent to tie up with the state.
While onerous, Eisenberg, the Los Angeles advisor, recommends a little perspective. The tax is levied on the excess of the above amounts, not the full sum. "If somebody is making $600,000, they're actually just paying $1,000 more," he says.

Their site at Chloorkop, a small industrial town just outside of Johannesburg, was being monitored by four different analog camera systems, making effective security surveillance extremely difficult. A decision was taken to consolidate and upgrade the existing solution. Solution Seasoned IP CCTV and systems integration provider, SLA Group, designed and installed a cohesive solution, using Axis network cameras, which offers complete perimeter coverage and extensive internal monitoring capabilities. The main entrance control room maintains centralised control of the entire system, while the IT server room records & acts as a main buffer for the whole system, thereby reducing the risk of an incident or intrusion failing detection by security personnel. Result The vacant land on the north and west side borders of the Chloorkop AECI's site no longer poses a threat to the security of the premises. Previously this open area was responsible for continuous trespassing and the removal of large quantities of valuable stock. Thanks to the installation of Axis thermal network cameras, even complete darkness cannot offer criminals a place to hide. Protecting essential stock AECI – Chempark Division supply an extensive range of specialty chemical products and related services for industrial use across a broad spectrum of customers in the manufacturing and mining sectors, mainly in South Africa and in Southern Africa. 1. Chemsystems: Provides chemical products to a diverse range of industries. 2. AkuluMarchom: Supplies chemical raw materials and value-adding services to the cosmetics, toiletry and detergent industries in South Africa. 3. IU: Manufactures and supplies a range of polyurethane products, technologies, systems and solutions in Southern Africa. 4. Plastamid: Plays a leading role in the manufacture and supply of thermoplastic compounds to a diverse range of industries. 5. Chemfit: Has 30 years' experience in supplying traded and blended specialty chemicals to a broad range of industries including water treatment, soil fumigation, petrochemical, lubricants, polymers and plastics. "It is imperative that warehouses, administrative buildings, workshops and storage tankers are under 24-hour surveillance. This ensures that our customer has complete control of the entire site at all times," says SLA Groups Alexandre Teixeira. "Any movement after working hours will automatically trigger an alarm that security officers can react to immediately. The Axis PTZ network cameras provide a visual of what security can expect to encounter during these responses." A fortified boundary SLA Group has over 24 years' experience in the design, manufacture and installation of CCTV and automation systems for the power generation, mining, iron and steel and chemical industries. This sustained involvement allows SLA Group to offer best value for money solutions without compromising on quality, reliability or long term stability. "We realised that AECI - Chempark perimeter was a major security issue that required careful attention and meticulous product investigation," says Alex Teixeira. "The AXIS Q1910-E Thermal Network Camera presented itself as the most intelligent option." AXIS Q1910-E uses thermal imaging to detect people objects and incidents in complete darkness or challenging conditions such as smoke, haze, dust and light fog. For a long time thermal imaging was too costly for any application outside of the military, however, as price is driven down by improved technology, it is rapidly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the security and surveillance industry. Creating images based on the heat that is generated by any object, person or vehicle and requiring no additional light source, thermal cameras are ideal for securing perimeters and dark or shadowed areas. Crisp, high definition images The main entrance to the site and the internal roads are monitored by AXIS P1344 Network Cameras. The first-rate HDTV image quality of AXIS P1344 ensures that control room personnel are able to view video surveillance of the highest possible resolution in the zones where clarity and detail are absolutely critical. "Picture quality and ease of installation were just two of the many reasons that we selected Axis as our IP partner for this project," said Alex Teixeira. "Every single corridor, intersection, entrance and exit needs to be accessible by the surveillance cameras. The versatility of the Axis-based solution makes this entirely possible." Additional Quote: "The system has paid for itself in terms of efficacy. It has been a pleasure dealing with such a professional system integrator," said Mike van Schelt, Financial Director, Chemserve Systems Ltd. recommend to friends

The 16th edition of the Dhaka International Film Festival came to an end this Saturday. The festival was concluded with an award ceremony, where 19 awards were presented in six categories. During the festival, 216 films from 64 countries were screened, and in the Competition of the Australasian Film Section, Turkish feature film 'Zer' directed by Kazim Oz, won the coveted Best Film award at the festival this year.
Also in the competition section, Masoud Salami won The Best Cinematography award for the film 'Asphyxia'directed by Fereydoun Jeyrani. Best Script award grabbed by Onur Saylak, Dogu Yasar Akal and Hakan Gunday for the Turkish film 'Daha' (More). Parinaz Izadyar and Mina Sadati won Best Actress award for the Iranian film 'Tabestan-e Dagh' (Searing Summer). Allen Dizon won the Best Actor award for the film Bomba (The Bomb) from Philippines. Onur Saylak was awarded with Best Director award for his film 'Daha' (More).
On the other hand, in the Bangladesh Panorama Section the FIPRESCI Award for the Best Film was given to the film 'Shohagir Goyna' (Shohagi's Ornament) directed by Lata Ahmed. Besides, the FIPRESCI Award for the Best Director was named Tauquir Ahmed for the film 'Haldaa'.
In the Best Children Fim section, Badal Rahman Award was given to the Iranian film 'White Bridge' and Indian film Tope (The Bait) was awarded with the Best Audience Award.
In the Women Filmmakers Section, Russian film 'Sofichka' directed by Kira Kovalenko won Best Feature, Documentary film jointly produced by Norway and UK titled 'Thank you for the Rain' directed by Julia Dahr won special mention, a documentary film from Afghanistan tiled 'Parlika' directed by Dr. Sahraa Karimi won Best Documentary, Best Short Fiction was awarded to the Czech Republic-USA joint-venture film 'Anna' Directed by Petra Priborska and Les Bigorneaux (The Winkles) directed by Alice Vial from France won Short Fiction Special Mention award.
In the Short and Independent Films section, a Bangladeshi film 'Pounopunik' (The Hamster Wheel Rebellion) directed by Khandaker Sumon won Special Mention Short Fiction and 'The Violet' directed by Baqer Al Rubaie from Iraq was named The Best Short fiction. 'Continental Drift' directed by Pietro Novello from UK won The Best Documentary and 'A Song For Barpak' directed by Pradip Pokhrel from Nepal won Special Mention Documentary in the Short and Independent Films section.

Israeli commandos storm a convoy of ships carrying humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip killing nine people in international waters.
Danny Ayalon, Israel's deputy foreign minister said "Gaza will not be short of humanitarian supplies" even when Israeli only allows in a quarter of what the UN says it needs.
UN Security Council Resolution 1860 calls for the lifting of restrictions on access to Gaza.
Prolonged UN efforts to get more aid into Gaza have fallen on deaf ears in Israel, the US and UK. All Israel is willing to do is repeat warnings against breaking the three-year blockade of Gaza.
Britain's ambassador to the UN from 1998 to 2003, Sir Jeremy Greenstock, described it as "the virtual starvation of Gaza".
But, according to Danny Ayalon, any attempts to bring more humanitarian aid into Gaza, in international waters, is a "premeditated and outrageous provocation" and an "armada of hate and violence in support of Hamas".
Deputy Speaker of the Israeli parliament Danny Danon said it was "clear intent to create a conflict". We told the convoy "Give us the goods and we will send them by road".
There would be no need for this convoy if Israeli did not block three quarter of the humanitarian aid that the people of Gaza need. So who is creating this "premeditated and outrageous provocation".
No civilized or humane or caring person would allow the "three-year blockade of Gaza" to continue.
Nor would they allow UN Resolution 1860 (remove blockade of Gaza) to be flouted in international waters.
Nor can a "unbreakable bond" exist with such a inhumane country.
President Obama is only interested in watering down the condemnation of Israel. He is the man who said the "situation for the Palestinian people is intolerable".
Especially in Gaza. So what has he done so far other than demonstrate that the US bond with Israel was "unbreakable" no matter what crimes they commit.
The UK Foreign Secretary, William Hague, deplored "the loss of life". The UK has "consistently advised against attempting to access Gaza in this way" and done nothing to lift the blockade of Gaza even though they accept it is "unacceptable and counter-productive" and violation of UN resolution 1860.
Israeli soldiers have the right to defend themselves even when they are flouting UN resolutions and international law in international waters.
Yet humanitarian aid workers are labelled "terrorists" for trying to deliver humanitarian aid, in international water, in accordance with a UN resolution.
Very odd.

True, but I have had the need to insert comments within posts in a different style and that extension has a couple which really helped me in defining my own "special" message layouts. I still have it installed on localhost
Fontawesome is built-in feature in phpBB 3.2.x.

The Making of a Civil War Dress
I have always been fascinated with the Civil War time period and the clothing that the women wore.
This year, I had a friend ask me if I would consider wearing a dress to a reenactment if she would make it. Would I!!!
This was a wonderfully fun experience for me and I can not thank my friend, Mrs. Ingrid Davidson
enough for making this beautiful dress.
It was interesting to learn how they dressed in so many layers, and to see Ingrid reproduce each
piece with such detail. The fabrics and laces, some old, some new, all placed just so made this dress
simply beautiful.
I always pictured Gone with the Wind: pretty hairstyles, Scarlett fliriting and lots of cleavage.
After looking at pictures of real women from that time frame, I saw a different view. And after wearing the whole outfit,
I got a small glimpse of their life. When Ingrid took these photos, she kept saying, "smile".
I don't know if it was the corset, the heat or the hairstyle...but it was hard to keep a smile!

Indian PM Modi visits Portugal on trip to meet with Trump
- Author: Larry Hoffman Jun 25, 2017,
Jun 25, 2017, 11:21
After the United States visit, Modi will travel to the Netherlands on June 27 where he will have a meeting with the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and call on King Willem-Alexander and meet Queen Maxima. From the outside, the two leaders appeared to enjoy a genuine friendship with frequent meetings, fraternal hugs and warm words.
Trump is set to meet Modi on Monday.
Despite a $66 billion trading relationship that is India's second-largest, Trump's "America First" rhetoric may make it hard for him to find common ground with a prime minister prioritizing a parallel "Make in India" campaign.
"The meeting between the two leaders is very significant, obviously, because the new administration's policies towards Asia and particularly India, are not very clear", said Sujit Datta, foreign policy specialist at New Delhi's Jamia Millia Islamia University. India and Pakistan should engage in direct talks and seek a normalization of ties, the official said.
During the visit, Modi will meet with Trump on Monday.
A small group of people from the Indian community were waiting outside Willard InterContinental to catch a glimpse of the Indian prime minister.
However, his focus will be on his first encounter with Mr Trump, for whom a personal connection matters more than consensus on bilateral issues.
Trump met Chinese President Xi Jinping in April and has also had face time with the leaders of nations including Japan, Britain and Vietnam since taking office in January, prompting anxiety in New Delhi that India is no longer a priority in Washington.
Modi is likely to lobby Trump on visas for technology workers. Modi will stop for a day in the Netherlands on the way home from the US.
Noting that the USA is very much interested in facilitating India's defence modernisation, and helping to enhance its role as a leader in the Asia Pacific, the official said the Trump Administration believes that a strong India is good for the US.
Modi's three-day visit to the United States will begin on Sunday.
"Many sectors of the Indian economy remain highly and unjustifiably protected, and India continues to be a hard place for American companies to do business", they wrote, noting that a 2017 World Bank report ranked India 130th out of 190 countries for ease of doing business. Also, what will this visit mean for Pakistan and China, given India's thorny relations and America's complex ties with those two countries?
Costa said India and Portugal "will make a great deal of progress in digital partnerships".
In a statement, Patrick Kilbride, Vice President of International Intellectual Property, Global Intellectual Property Center said from the halls of the Congress to the Trump administration, U.S. leaders have placed an emphasis on ensuring American innovation is respected overseas.

How the 40 Hour Work Week Came into Being
Many companies did not have their employees working for 40 hours in a week. Though we have those who work for 60-80 hours in a week at present, the stipulated hours should be 40 hours which translates to 8 hours each day for five days. The 40 hour work week did not come easy, and from below, you will learn more on what led to this.
In 1817, a Welsh manufacturer proposed a day to be divided into three equal 8-hour sections. One would be for working, the other one for recreation and the other one for rest. Many of the nations in Europe did not like the idea, but later in the US, it gained popularity. The Congress implemented the law, but the employers didn't appreciate it.
A section of workers in Illinois requested the Legislature to reduce the working hours to 8 hours in a day in 1867. Though this law was passed, you still could have those who would strike a deal with their bosses for longer working hours. It made many agitated, and this led to a huge strike that took place in Chicago on the 1st of May. In 1869, President Ulysses S. Grant, signed a deal that assured a stable wage and eight working hours for the government employees.
During the 1870s and the 1880s, the trade unions and the labor unions continued to advocate for the 40 working hours in a week, and they held national strikes each day on May 1st. In 1886, there was a strike with 300,000 people turning out and this led to injuries and deaths of the workers and the police in Chicago.
In 1914, the Ford Motor Company implemented the eight working hours a day and an increased wage, but the workers still worked for six days. This company could send people to evaluate the homes of their employees to see whether they deserved the better wages. By 1916, we had more companies that accepted to reduce the working hours to 40 hours in a week. 4 million Americans went on Strike for the push for 40 working hours.
Until 1937, the General Motors Company had not implemented the eight working hours and a stable wage for their workers. They had poor working conditions for their workers. The working hours of the workers of the GMC were reduced when they went on a strike during the Great Depression.
President Roosevelt signed the Fair Labor Standards Act which brought the reduction on the working hours to 44 in 1938. In 1940, the FLSA was amended by the Congress to 40 working hours.

September 11th marked the 30th anniversary for Clive Barker's directorial debut film Hellraiser being unleashed upon UK audiences. It's hard to imagine a world without Pinhead, cenobites, or "the box". While previously involved in such films as Rawhead Rex, this was Barker's first time in the director's seat. The world of Hellraiser is one of fear, pain, fantasy, and psychological torment; all of which are conveyed through incredible visual effects. On top of the striking visual appeal of Hellraiser, the soundtrack is an added layer that helps build the world where pain has a face.
Composed by Christopher Young, the Hellraiser soundtrack stands out in a couple of ways. The film was released in 1987, a time when synthy, minimalistic scores were dominating horror films. Especially larger, more main stream productions. For this release however, Young chose to use an entire orchestra and gave the film a full symphonic feel. Paired with Barker's now infamous visuals, this combination truly conveys the fantasy and theatrical aspects of the Hellraiser story. The soaring strings, pulsing drums, haunting piano and percussion, and incredible crescendos of sound all contribute to the atmosphere that is so crucial to the film. While some soundtracks are merely background noise, the Hellraiser soundtrack is a true partner to the film.
There are a few different releases that are being released to celebrate this milestone for Hellraiser. Lakeshore Records has a 140 gram translucent red with black smoke vinyl version available today, October 6th. It was remastered from the original 24 track, 2 inch analog master session tapes and you can find it here or at your local record store.
Death Waltz in partnership with Mondo will be releasing two versions to the general public. One will be a 180 gram LP with some killer artwork from Matt Ryan Tobin. There will also be a box set version (you can guess what the packaging will resemble) and will be six 7″ records and will contain liner notes from Clive Barker himself. This version will be a limited release with only 1000 being pressed. Hovering around $80 this release is not for the faint of heart and yet a must have for any serious Hellraiser collector. The release date for these two are currently set at October 11th and you will be able to find them here.
Both these companies are at the top of their game so there's really no losing if one is forced to choose between releases. It is interesting that there are multiple releases coming out at similar times, but after all this time waiting, who's really going to complain? In the words of the one and only Pinhead, "No tears please. It's a waste of good suffering." Check out the video above for a taste of what's in store for you.
