Personal budgets are part of a way of managing care and support called personalisation, which is designed to make sure the help you receive suits you as an individual.
Every person assessed as having eligible needs now has a personal budget.
Personalisation aims to ensure that the care and support each person gets is matched to their needs and wishes. It also makes sure that everyone who needs information and advice about social care gets it, regardless of their wealth or eligibility for services.
Personal budgets are a key part of personalisation, because they give you more control over your care and support.
When you are assessed by your council as being eligible for social care, and after you have been means tested, they will come up with a budget that must cover the cost of meeting your eligible needs. That amount of money can be altered if your needs change. They will also carry out a means-test, to see if you need to contribute.
Provided that you have eligible needs and are not funding care yourself, you can then decide how you want to use the money the council provides in your personal budget.
You can:
It's up to you how you want to receive your personal budget. You should always receive free advice and support from the council to help you make an informed decision. There are also a range of services being set up by voluntary organisations to help people to plan how to use their personal budget, although you may need to pay for those.
If the council finds that you are not eligible for funded care, they should still help you decide how to arrange the help that you need. You can also get an independent personal budget, which will detail how much your care needs will cost you even though the council won't be paying for them.
All the information and advice we provide on the website is free and completely independent, as is our National Advice Line that is open 365 days a year.
But demand is going up. We are an ageing population and more people than ever are coming to us for support, which is why we need to ask for help.
If you are able to, just a small gift today could help us reach even more older people wherever the need is greatest.

"My fiance and I ordered these along with the matching invitations. We changed the wording a little bit and they look lovely. We ordered the amethyst reception cards with shimmer paper and had the perfect poinsettia design printed on the back of the cards as well, matching the invitations. I'm very happy with the way these turned out."
"We used the Cabernet color for our fall wedding invitations. I love that they appear incredibly expensive without breaking the bank. The paper stock is exceptional, and I love the texture of the cards - it's classy and timeless without being stuffy. I have friends who have paid out their eyes for custom invitations at a printer who were unhappy with the results, had multiple issues along the way, etc... not us! We customized text, changed the fonts and sizes, and altered spacing to put more information on the front. The design team at WPD was there 100% and seemed to intuitively know what we wanted to accomplish. My mother, who was initially skeptical about using an online service for wedding invitations, cannot resist pulling our invitations out to look at them. These invitations are elegant and incredibly impressive - I can't wait for our guests to receive them! The pictures truly don't do them justice."
"I ordered bridal shower invitations. I was so impressed with the Design and quality! I just ordered and received the wedding invitations. The colors, design and the quality so beautiful!! I would definately reccomend Wedding Paper Divas!!!"
"Personalization of text worked great, we were able to change more than just the names and information, we could change actual text in the edit section. Even if the text didn't fit in the space allotted, WPD editors quickly made adjustments and sent digital proofs in a very timely manner. Delivery was even a day earlier than predicted! Product is very high quality, thick card stock with beautiful designs and writing. Perfect look for what we were going for!"
"We selected Sealed Squares for our invites. And, because we are having several events to celebrate our marriage, I was looking for different reception cards to go with our invite design. This card works perfect with the Sealed Squares. Love the entire package together - easy to design & the invites look amazing!!! Great quality!!! People are so surprised I did this by myself - online . . . . for a great price."

Readers of my blog have probably noticed that I'm occasionally documenting the shortcomings of DNS and DHCP servers built into Cisco IOS (I will not even mention the HTTP server, this one gets constantly degraded). On the other hand, although you could centralize all these services, the centralization makes the branch offices completely dependent on the availability of WAN uplinks; without a working uplink, a branch office stops completely.
When Cisco introduced AXP (Linux blade for the ISR routers), my first idea was: "now, that's a platform on which you could implement proper DNS and HTTP server". Not surprisingly, I was not the only one with the "brilliant" idea: Infoblox has partnered with Cisco to offer the set of IP servers one might need in a branch office on the AXP.
The only problem bugging AXP is its price: the low-end model costs $3500 (list price, without the Infoblox software). Cisco and Infoblox have flashy whitepapers "documenting" huge TCO savings, but both of them failed to share with us the input parameters, assumptions and calculations. All that's left is a small graph showing the desired results. I'm not saying AXP is not more cost-effective than the alternative; I'm just not easily persuaded by nice-looking colorful horizontal bands. What's your perspective? Would you replace branch servers with AXP?

OK, so I take back everything I said about "Jose Reyes" being a terrible name for Jerry Seinfeld's new dog. Don't get me wrong: I still contend that he doesn't want a lifelong reminder of a big disappointment every time the hound rubs against his feet or digs up his garden. He should have gone the safe route and named him "Kranepool."
But I admit that I underestimated the power that bringing a dachshund puppy on national television might have in a competitive free-agent market. C'mon Jose, how are you going to say no to the New York Mets after seeing a face like this one?

Reflections, Part Two
Regarding my favorite thing about New York:
Being able to walk anywhere I wanted! It's a freedom I'd never experienced before. Michigan, being the automobile capitol of the world, is not pedestrian friendly. I hate driving - absolutely despise it. The act itself isn't horrible, I suppose. It's the mannerisms some people exhibit when doing it. The honking, the fingers, the road rage. It's awful. So, I loved not having to deal with any of that. Any place I wanted to go to was within reach by foot, subway, or cab.
Recreational walking is gaining popularity in Michigan. Local counties built bike paths through several rural neighborhoods, but it's not quite the same. In Manhattan, there was so much to do and see. Just walking a couple of blocks was an adventure in and of itself. Landmarks, water, parks, stores, and restaurants were all around me. What's there to see on my bike path? Trees and a ditch. Scenic? Yes. It just feels strange not being surrounded by buildings of all sorts.

Reflections, Part One
Regarding my favorite department:
I loved them all! I can't choose just one. I have to say Art was the biggest surprise, mainly because everybody there was so much fun. It's not what I want go into career-wise, but I truly enjoyed everybody's company. Production also caught me off guard. The hours were long, but there was never a dull moment. I think it forever changed my image of an office environment.
Working in the Writing Department was an awesome experience. My time there was mainly spent in observation, but it was a wonderful opportunity and an honor to watch Warren Leight at his craft. It was enlightening to witness him bouncing script ideas and revisions back and forth with the other writers. The fashion in which script structure is formed is fascinating. Warren keeps a storyboard in his office. He pins a note card with a synopsis of each scene on the cork board, in order that they can be easily moved around as the story changes/evolves.
The set was a great place to be. As my career aspirations lie with acting and scriptwriting, I'd been looking forward to my time with this department since the onset. Unlike Writing, there was more work and hours involved, less observation. However, I did get to view several scenes being shot. Watching the process only further reinforced my desire to be in the industry.

April 22, 2007 - That's a Wrap!
Packed-up and ready to go, I got up at 7 and called Allstate cab service to reserve a car for 9am. My flight was scheduled for 12:30 and I wanted to leave plenty of time to get there. Yesterday, I stopped by Allstate to see if I should make reservations. She said no, as "we're open 24 hours." When I called this morning, I received a different story. "Sorry, Sir, but we're all booked for today," she said. So much for Allstate.
At any rate, I found another service online for the same price. They were on-time (early, even) and had me there in less than a half hour (around 9:30). I spent my last few hours in
That's a wrap! I'll be posting a few new entries over the next week or so, reflecting on my time in
April 21, 2007 - Talk Radio
I set my alarm for 9am, but ended-up waking at 7. After relaxing a bit, I had breakfast at Moonstruck and got my laundry out of the way. I also started packing, as my time to do that is a bit limited.
Tsahai and I were slated to meet-up at 8pm to see the Broadway musical Wicked. Unfortunately, the tickets for that were sold out. As a second option, we ended-up meeting at one, grabbing some Thai food, and seeing Talk Radio, Eric Bogosian's (Captain Ross) new play. It was excellent; funny, but very heavy.
Afterward, we walked around the city for a bit, before parting. I'm glad I had the chance to hang out with Tsahai before leaving. I'm sure we'll see each other again, but I probably won't be back in
I spent a few hours walking around Midtown and

April 20, 2007 - The Goodbye Guy
As I mentioned in Thursday's post, I fully intended to sleep-in. And sleep I did. I didn't wake up until 2pm. My initial plans for the day were to visit the Piers say my last good-byes to the crew, talk to John Roman, then walk down the
I started out in Art, chatting with the entire crew. At first, only Lyle and Harry were there (and Harry was sleeping), which disappointed me, as I wanted to say good-bye to everybody. Luckily, people started spilling in over the following half-hour. I even snapped a picture of the
I hopped online and looked to change my flight. My jaw dropped. It would cost an additional $400 to reschedule it for Monday. So, the party's out of the question. I got a great consolation prize, though. Mary from Locations stopped by and said that all the crew (including me) would be getting a free iPod Shuffle. Not bad at all. It's blue, shiny, and inscribed (reads "Law & Order: Criminal Intent – Season 6")
Next, I stopped upstairs and said good-bye to the Production crew. As it turned out, I would be returning there three or four more times throughout the day, so it was an extended parting. Maggie (John Roman's assistant) snapped a picture of me with the crew. Warren Leight even posed for a few pictures. Leslie Gyson (Production Coordinator and the supervisor of my internship) wasn't there, however.
She'd gone to set. Before going downstairs to see Leslie, I spoke with John for a few minutes. I thanked him for the amazing opportunity he offered me and we spoke about my future.
Down in the Green Room (the holding area for background and also the lunch room), Leslie and I reminisced about my internship. She had only good things to say about me, which (of course) made me blush. Our conversation and the one with Roman only solidified the fact that my experience in
I topped off my night by joining some of the crew that'd already wrapped for the evening at the Chelsea Brewery (inside Chelsea Piers) and having a few (too many) drinks. I don't much care for alcohol, but it was nice to have the chance to relax with some of my friends and see them in a non-work context.
April 19, 2007 - Checking the Gate
My last day on-set (and the last officially scheduled day of my internship). The show's filming schedule had already been extended to Friday, but I requested that day off. They were slated to shoot until 6 or 7 in the morning Saturday, and there's no way I could pull that off and pack and enjoy the city a little more before leaving Sunday.
We were back in the
In preparation for the end of the episode, catering cooked up a wonderful feast for the crew – turkey, stuffing, yams, dressing, cranberries, and all the fixings. Of course, as the night was only half over, turkey might not have been the best thing to serve to an already tired crew. By the time they wrapped at 3:00am, everybody was pretty much done for. Luckily for me, I was able to sleep-in on Friday…prepare for one last fling with the city.
As the 1st AD says at the end of the night, "Cut! Checking the Gate… And, on the good gate, that's a wrap. Thank you, everybody." My internship with Law & Order: Criminal Intent has officially drawn to a close. Where has time gone?

It's a predator eat predator world for the Were-Hunters.
Danger haunts any given day. There is no one to trust. No one to love.
Not if they want to live…
An orphan with no clan that will claim him, Wren Tigarian grew to adulthood under the close scrutiny and mistrust of those around him. A forbidden blend of two animals—snow leopard and white tiger—Wren has never listened to anyone when there was something he wanted. Now he wants Marguerite.
Marguerite D'Aubert Goudeau is the daughter of a prominent U.S. Senator who hates the socialite life she's forced to live. Like her mother before her, she has strong Cajun roots that her father doesn't understand. Still, she has no choice but to try and conform to a world where she feels like an outsider. But the world of rich and powerful humans is never to meet the world of the Were-Hunters who exist side by side with them, unseen, unknown, undetected. To break this law is to call down a wrath of the highest order.
In order to have Marguerite, Wren must fight not just the humans who will never accept his animal nature, but the Were-Hunters who want him dead for endangering their world. It's a race against time and magic without boundary that could cost Marguerite and Wren not just their lives, but their very souls…

2011 NCAA College Football – Week 13 Preview
For many schools across the country, this is rivalry week: the game that determines bragging rights and, in many cases, a coach's future employment. But after last week's chaotic BCS shakeup, a slew of one-loss teams are suddenly back in the national title mix, anxiously hoping for some SEC upsets to give them a shot. Combine that intrigue with a slew of heated rivalries and teams jockeying for conference championships and bowl positions, and it should be another exciting week in college football. Here are all the highlights from this week in the AP Top 25.

※젠폰 2 제품의 악세사리와 호환되지 않습니다.
ZenFone 2 Laser (ZE550KL) has incredibly-slim 3.5mm edges. This is more than an impressive engineering feat, it's a marvel of design and ergonomics, making the ZenFone 2 Laser incredibly comfortable to hold. The iconic ASUS concentric-circle design adorns both the front and rear key, giving a beautiful, tactile effet. This effect is achieved through precision machining that produces circles with a mere 0.13mm pitch, giving ZenFone 2 Laser a premium look and feel.
Zen means a balance of beauty and strength. It is also an introduction to new values that enhance the user experience in an entirely new way, custom-built for a dawning era of more active where lifestyle, technology, and thought are one.
When designing the ZenFone 2 Laser, we started with you in mind. As a result, ZenFone 2 Laser has a highly-intuitive control layout, incorporating a physical rear key as part of the new Ergonomic Arc design. Snapping selfies, adjusting the volume and retracing your steps now feels completely natural, regardless of whether you are right-handed or left-handed. The elegant new shape feels secure and extremely comfortable to hold.

Beauty Test Drive: Julep Luxe Care Hand Creme
I hate to break it to Kim and Kanye, but the word "luxury" is thrown around so much these days that it doesn't mean jack shit. When a beauty product is called "Luxe" or "Luxury," I don't even assume that means it's fancy anymore because you can buy "luxury bath beads" at the Dollar Store.
It's a treat then to use a not-so-inexpensive hand cream that markets itself as "Luxe" and actually feel like I'm Donatella Versace luxuriating with her freshly moisturized paws while she rolls around on piles of money. That is an exact summation of how I feel after using the Luxe Care Hand Creme from the monthly nail polish club, Julep. I might have had mixed feelings about Julep's monthly Maven program, but their decadent hand lotion is hands down (pun intended) the best I've ever used.
Price: $20 on Julep.com (only $16 for Julep Maven members)
Formula: Julep's hand cream has the luxurious consistency — and I'm not exaggerating this at all — of homemade whipped cream. It just feels decadent on your hands. Julep's fine print is that their hand creme is made with proprietary Power Cell Complex, a combination of fatty acids, lipids and oils which leave your hands softened and nourished. I have the driest skin in the Northern Hemisphere and a quarter-sized dollop of this lotion is truly heavenly — not at all oily or waxy. It is lightly and pleasantly scented, but not overpoweringly so.
Wear Time: The weather is dry out there and I must reapply lotion to my hands every half hour. This hand creme is the only lotion I've used (and I've tried everything, from department stores brands like Bliss and L'Occitane to drugstore ones like Salma Hayek Nuance and Eucerin) that keeps my hands moisturized for hours and hours and hours. I'm truly impressed.
Overall: If I could bathe in this stuff, I would. I'm already figuring out how I'm going to justify spending $16 on hand creme.

text: Museums and attractions planning to stay open include the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Newseum, the International Spy Museum, National Geographic Museum, National Building Museum, The Phillips Collection and others.Rebecca White, 35, and her husband Kevin White, 39, of Rochester, NY, were honeymooning in Washington on Tuesday and arrived at the American history museum only to find it closed. They said they were disappointed but would go to the Newseum or the International Spy Museum instead, two museums that aren't run by the government. "We knew what was going on, but we didn't know this would be the result," Kevin White said of the museum's closed doors, which had printed signs reading "All Smithsonian museums and the National Zoo are closed today due to the government shutdown." Some federal arts facilities pay for their programs with private funds, including the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and Ford's Theatre, the site where President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. While both sites were closed to daytime visitors, the theaters will open for evening performances. ___ Follow Brett Zongker at https://twitter.com/DCArtBeat and Jessica Gresko at https://twitter.com/jessicagresko .

Celebrities Who Drive Angrier Than Nicolas Cage
The premise of Drive Angry has Nicolas Cage as a man who takes a road trip to punish the guys who are responsible for killing his daughter and kidnapping his granddaughter. But from the looks of the trailer, there's not much actual driving! There's much more footage of Cage crashing into inanimate objects and teaching the meaning of life to some random blond chick than there is of him getting himself from one place to another. The few moments we do get of Cage driving involve some serious explosions, which is probably meant to convey to us that even though he never raises his voice (at least in the trailer) to a level that's louder than anything Lionel Richie has ever said in his entire life, HE'S FUCKING ANGRY. But there have certainly been angrier people behind the wheel, and here are a few of the more serious vehicular assailants we thought Cage could learn a thing or two about "driving angry" from.
Michelle Rodriguez
Michelle's driving became problematic in late 2003, when she was charged with eight misdemeanor counts from two separate occasions in Los Angeles. She pled no contest to the charges of drunk driving, hit and run, and driving without a license. She went to jail for 48 hours and was put on probation for three years. While shooting Lost in 2005, she was fined for speeding several times and then arrested again on December 1st for driving under the influence. She went to jail for five days but since the incident was considered a violation of her parole, her jail sentence was augmented to 60 days. Many believe her reckless behavior in Hawaii led to her character on Lost getting killed off.
Charlie Sheen's past may not be punctuated by trouble behind the wheel, but that's only because he makes $1.8 million per Two and a Half Men episode so he doesn't have to drive himself anywhere. But if his instances of enjoying the company of $30,000 hookers, shooting Kelly Preston in the arm when he was engaged to her and locking up escorts in the closet because he believed they'd stolen his watch are indications of anything, it's that he's probably not a big yielder.
Though Shia didn't cause the automobile accident that crushed his hand, the alcohol on his breath doesn't completely free him from liability. In July of 2008, Shia's Ford F-150 was hit by another car as it ran a red light at the intersection of La Brea Avenue and Fountain Avenue in Los Angeles. Shia was gripping the windowsill with his left hand while he was driving so when the other car drove over it, it was immediately crushed. Once officers got to the scene they smelled alcohol on Shia's breath, and when asked if he would submit to a breathalyzer, he declined. He was arrested for misdemeanor drunk driving and his license was suspended for one year. Two days after the accident, the Sheriff's Department announced that Shia was not at fault. He underwent several surgeries to repair his left hand, but still hasn't regained complete mobility of it.
Lindsay Lohan
A list of the celebrities who drive poorly wouldn't meet anyone's standards if it glazed over the monstrosity that is Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay's automotive troubles started innocently in 2004, when paparazzi started following her car and she suffered minor injuries when their car crashed into hers. On May 26th, 2007, Beverly Hills police arrested Lindsay for driving under the influence when she lost control of her Mercedes and mounted the curb. Police also found a "usable" amount of cocaine in her car. She was charged with a misdemeanor and entered rehab, where she stayed for 45 days. Upon release, she wore a SCRAM bracelet around her ankle to make sure she stayed sober. On July 24th, she was arrested again in Santa Monica for refusing a breathalyzer and, after being taken to the police station, for driving with a blood alcohol content level that was over the legal limit. Additionally, a small amount of cocaine was found in her pocket, and so she was charged with felony cocaine possession, driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license. She had to do community service and was placed on three years probation. In August of 2007, she returned to rehab, where she stayed until October. In the coming years, she'd be in and out of rehab when she wasn't hitting strollers with her Ferrari, violating her parole, or completely unconscious in the passenger's seat.
Nicole Richie
Nicole Richie started having issues with driving in February of 2003, when she was arrested in Malibu, California for driving with a suspended license and for heroin possession. Things remained quiet up until December of 2006, when Richie was seen driving her black Mercedes onto an exit ramp on State Route 134 in Burbank and traveling down the highway in the wrong direction. She was pulled over by highway patrol and arrested after she failed a field sobriety test. After admitting that she had smoked some marijuana and taken a few Vicodin tablets before getting into her car, she was charged with driving under the influence and in July of 2007, was sentenced to four days in jail but only spent 82 minutes behind bars because of how overcrowded the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, California was at the time. She was placed on probation, but after she missed one of her alcohol education classes, the term was extended to another year and set to expire in 2011. However, at a hearing in December of 2010, Richie's probation was terminated early because she had complied with all of its requirements.
January Jones
In January of 2010, as she was leaving The London West Hollywood Hotel, January crashed her Range Rover into three parked cars. But instead of staying at the scene and making sure everything was in order, she gave her license to a bystander and went home. She came back a few minutes later in a different set of clothes, and claimed to have called 911 when she was in her house. January told the police that she crashed because paparazzi were following her. It was later learned that (after the accident but before she got out of her car and went back to her house) she called Food Network star Bobby Flay, who she'd met earlier at the hotel, who told her to leave the scene of the accident. When TMZ spoke with him, he said that he only drove to where January had crashed because he just wanted to make sure she was okay and had no idea why January would call him for help, and that he especially did not encourage her to get out of her car and go home. Witnesses said they heard January ask if she was going to have to submit to a field sobriety test, but an officer told her it was pointless because there was no way to prove whether or not she was under the influence when she was in the car, since she could have gone home and had a drink.
Mel Gibson
Gibson cites 13 as the age when he began drinking, and it has certainly affected his conduct and his driving over the years. His abuse became most apparent in the summer of 2006 when he was arrested on the Pacific Coast Highway for driving under the influence and for speeding with an open container of alcohol in the car with him. When Officer James Mee questioned him, Gibson said "Fucking Jews…the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Additionally, he repeatedly said, "my life is fucked." Once inside Mee's police car, Gibson began banging his head against the seat and told Mee that "he owned Malibu" and that he would "spend all his money to "get even." While that alone is sufficient proof of Gibson's aggression, it's only reinforced when one listens to the numerous tapes Oksana Grigorieva recorded of Gibson verbally abusing her, and so it's pretty clear that his charm isn't just hiding somewhere.
Halle Berry
Unlike others on this list, Halle Berry doesn't drink and drive. However, her involvement in a hit and run indicates that she does, in fact, have some road rage. On February 23rd, 2000, Berry ran a red light and collided with another vehicle that resulted in its driver becoming permanently disabled. After the impact Berry sped off in her car, even though she suffered a concussion and sustained a gash in her head that required anywhere between 17 to 20 stitches (reports vary). The Los Angeles District Attorney could have charged her with a felony, which if convicted, would have landed her a three year stint in jail but instead, Berry was only charged with a misdemeanor. She pled no contest in court and was sentenced to three years probation, 200 hours of community service, and a $13,500 fine. Berry now considers it the ordeal that "changed her life."
Laura Bush
The most dangerous driver on this list just happens to be a former First Lady! In November of 1963, Ms. Laura Bush (then Laura Welch was driving east on Farm Forad 868 with her friend to a party in Midland, Texas. The girls were chatting about clothes and Laura ran a stop sign that resulted in her crashing into Mike Douglas, who was in his car heading South on State Road 369. Douglas was thrown from his car, broke his neck, and died instantly. Even though Laura was not criminally charged for his death, she wrote in her book, Spoken from the Heart, that the accident was the reason why she lost her faith "for many, many years."

Victoria Adams has signed a multimillion-dollar deal with NBC to host her own reality show.
Victoria Adams, better known as Posh Spice, has reportedly signed multi million dollar deal with American TV network NBC to host her own reality show.
"The Americans were falling over themselves to sign Victoria up for a TV show but we had to choose the right deal for her. NBC won out in the end as they have really taken a shine to Vic's hilarious sense of humor and they want to capitalize on this," Vic's manager Simon Fuller said.
The deal is said to be worth for �10million. As of the reality show, it will see the former Spice Girl's every move to LA with hubby David Beckham involved in.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra began as a progressive rock-meets-classical music studio project in 1995. It wasn't until 1999, after the release of TSO's albums "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" and "The Christmas Attic," that TSO founder, composer and lyricist Paul O'Neill put the show on the road.
TSO's 1999 tour of a handful of U.S. cities whet the appetite for more TSO concerts. Guitarist and music director Al Pitrelli was there for those inaugural performances as well as the first TSO recordings.
"Promoters heard about this crazy bunch of Russians and an orchestra with pyrotechnics," he recalled from a TSO date in Las Cruces, New Mexico. "They were flipping out. Everybody wanted a show."
By popular demand, Trans-Siberian Orchestra — which began in New York City, not Siberia — is now two touring companies. TSO's North American winter tour will reach 71 cities, including New Orleans and the Smoothie King Center on Wednesday.
The Smoothie King show will feature nine singers, a narrator, a seven-piece band and a half-dozen local string players. They're performing TSO's 1998 album, "The Christmas Attic," on tour for the first time this year.
In the '90s, Pitrelli recalled, "we were just in the studio making music together. We were like the Steely Dan of symphonic rock, or whatever you want to call us. 'The Attic,' our second album, got stepped over. We decided to bring it out this year. It's been received so well, and we're so proud of it."
For "The Christmas Attic" tour, O'Neill added new characters, fresh narration and more music to the original. The show also features even more pyrotechnics than previous TSO productions.
Pitrelli performs onstage for "The Christmas Attic," playing rhythm guitar and doing some conducting. Because the singers and musicians who perform the complex "The Christmas Attic" every night are so good, he said, they need only minimal direction.
Pitrelli and O'Neill are both from New York City, a culturally rich place that helped them become what they are.
"Growing up in the '60s in New York and the city's public school system, you were either on the football team or you were in the high school band," he said. "I was too small to play football, so they handed me a trumpet. I was reading scores and playing in symphonic wind ensemble and the orchestra and choir all those years ago."
Pitrelli and O'Neill met in the mid-1980s. They found they had much in common.
"Paul loved 'Jesus Christ Superstar' and Pink Floyd and Yes and Aerosmith and AC/DC and everything in between," Pitrelli said. "He loved theater and Andrew Lloyd Webber — the same music I loved."
O'Neill, then producing an album by prog-rock band Savatage, invited Pitrelli to add guitar parts to the project. The progression from Savatage to Trans-Siberian Orchestra came naturally.
"Paul gave me the opportunity to help create something," Pitrelli said, "to write and arrange, to be there from inception to the downbeat of the show. It's definitely my home. He let me tap into every musical thing I've accomplished and bring it to the table for TSO. He's not only my producer, my boss, he's one of my dearest friends."
Next year will be TSO's 20th anniversary.
"I don't want to do anything else. Neither do most of the people out here. This is what they've dreamed about. As long as Paul O'Neill and Jon Oliva continue to write beautiful stories and the soundtrack becomes magic, dude, we're on."

- May 07, 2015
via People by Jeff Truesdell | May 7, 2015
Five years after University of Virginia lacrosse player Yeardley Love was beaten to death by an ex-boyfriend, athletes too young to have played alongside her sat in the team's locker room pondering her mother's message about steps that might have prevented Yeardley's murder – and how to protect themselves and their friends.
The occasion last month was a workshop led by the OneLove Foundation, launched by Sharon Love to halt relationship violence like that which killed Yeardley at age 22 on May 3, 2010. And though Love was not there herself to talk to those UVA students, she knows she's making a difference.
"It's been a godsend to us," Love, 65, tells PEOPLE. "It's given our lives purpose, and it's given us something to wake up and do every single day, and it keeps Yeardley's memory alive. I can't imagine not having this to do."
With a 40-minute film followed by small group discussion, the foundation has launched a nationwide campaign to educate 16-to-24-year-olds about the signs of abuse, with visits made or planned to more than 150 colleges and 70 high schools this year. The film itself tells a fictional tale of a relationship that blooms and turns dark, with Yeardley's fate as an undercurrent, invoking friends who saw but missed the warning signals.
"It gives you the opportunity to notice the red flags, but it also gives you the opportunity to understand what you could have done differently," says Caroline Seats, 22, a UVA student and midfielder on the women's lacrosse team who attended the locker room workshop.
Indeed, after Yeardley's death, "One of her friends said, 'We all had different pieces of the puzzle, but none of us could see the entire puzzle,' " says Yeardley's cousin Sharon Robinson, 40, a member of the foundation board. "These kids all saw something, but they didn't know what they were seeing."
And that, Love says, is why the foundation was started.
"I've never been in a high school or college where someone hasn't come up to me and said they were a victim of abuse," she says. Forcing the conversation "gives people strength, because it gives them strength in unity. The topic is really not discussed, and so it opens it up out of the box and brings it into the light of day."
It's an education Yeardley's family went through as well.
"Initially I didn't really think that Yeardley was a victim of relationship violence," says Love, who had based her assumptions on the image of someone trapped and dependent upon the abuser. "We were so naive to this, and Yeardley was so naive, that I don't think the possibility of anything like this ever happening crossed anybody's mind. It still seems somewhat impossible to me."
When George Huguely V, now 27, a men's lacrosse standout, was arrested andlater sentenced to 23 years for second-degree murder during an argument at Yeardley's off-campus apartment, her friends acknowledged evidence of an abusive relationship. But they didn't connect the dots.
"We came from that exact same spot," says Love. "I didn't see it, but it existed and we knew nothing about it."
Says Sharon Robinson: "From the outside looking in, she looked perfect. Smart, fun, lots of friends – she seemingly had it all. That's part of the reason why her story resonates. You think, how can this happen to someone like that?"
"Why didn't she seek help?" Robinson asks. "Partially because people are not comfortable talking about things like this, and we want to change that."
Yeardley mother says, "I feel she's a part of all of this."
Yeardley's father, John, died in 2003; Yeardley's sister, Lexie, was married after Yeardley died. But Sharon Love and Lexie Love Hodges share in their newfound advocacy on Yeardley's behalf.
"I wake up and go to bed thinking about her," says Sharon Love. "There isn't probably an hour that goes by that I don't feel like she's still with me. She's just not physically here."
"The movie really isn't Yeardley's story," she says, "it's kind of everyone's story. And all of the red flags are embedded in that movie. Maybe if it had been available to us before my girls went off to school, and they knew of these red flags, and how dangerous these situations are when these red flags are present – I don't know, I'm hoping it will do for others what it might have done for us."

All in all good apartment and very centrally located but no wifi connection available as shown and very bad air in the apartment but everything else was ok Regards
Alles im allen gutes Appartement und sehr zentral gelegen aber leider kein w-lan vorhanden wie angegeben und sehr schlechte Luft im Appartement aber sonst war alles ok MfG
Everything was good - both the service and the apartment. The apartment was spacious and good - we were 12 people and there were a lot of space. I would definitely recommend this place and I would like to come back.
A excelent apartment with a good location.Near markets and the old street station.
Apartment very well located in the old town! so we all visited on foot from the apartment, except tv tower (subway) very convenient with wi-fi, tv with cable, and a lil nice pub at the foot of the building which also offers the grandchildren bf. attention just to bed which is actually composed of two single beds .. I recommend!
Appartement très bien placé dans la vieille ville !! nous avons donc tout pu visiter à pied depuis l'appart, sauf la tour de tv (métro)
très pratique avec le wi-fi, la tv avec le cable, et un ptit pub sympa au pied de l'immeuble qui propose aussi les petits-dej.
attention juste au lit qui est en fait composé de deux lits une place..
je recommande!
A modern apartment which was clean and
well equipped.
It's not necessarily best placed for visiting London (10mins drive from Islington) but we appreciated the ridiculously close vicinity to Jamie Oliver's Fifteen - literally 2mins walk.
Picking up keys and check in is at an alternative location which is not ideal but it does mean a professional service and the staff were efficient.
Cleaner was prompt (friendly) at check out and we were able to leave keys in the apartment.
Quite a large deposit, especially as there was 6 of us - so even higher - which wasn't initially clear. We had concerns about a credit card being taken (out of our sight) along with our ID but this was unfounded. No charges were made.
A nice large living space with two bathrooms (powerful and hot showers with modern design) which meant we had plenty of space - even with two adults on the sofabed.
Some may not like the fact that it's ground floor. Both bedrooms have big ground level windows that face directly on to the alleyway so anyone walking past feels like they're in the room with you! Fortunately it's not a busy route :) For this reason windows are locked shut and the heat can become stifling.
Overall a good stay, hence the 4stars.
Very nice apartment, in line with our expectations as a family.
Appartement très agréable, conforme à nos attentes en tant que famille nombreuse.
Very nice clean and spacious apartment conveniently located slightly away from main attractions but within a shot walking distance. Perfect for a couple or a family with two children. Even has two toilets!
Fantastic Place THANKS
The wifi need improvment thought...
We stayed for two weekends in Prague and lived here. Studio is beautiful, clean, everything worked as promised. Location has also gestummen-very close to everything .. The only drawback is the kappute door to the lift, which was just around the corner .. Door scraped the ground and so are very unpleasant and relatively loud noises-emerged in the middle of the night or early morning, depending on when the other guests came home. Highly recommend the restaurant is in the house tomorrow and jog around the Old Town Square, which is very close .. We were certainly not the last time there .. :)
Wir waren zu Zweit am Wochenende in Prag und haben hier gewohnt. Studio ist schön, sauber, alles funktionierte, wie versprochen. Lokalität hat auch gestummen-sehr nahe zu allem..
Der einzige Nachteil ist die kappute Türe beim Lift, die gerade um die Ecke war.. Türe kratzten den Boden und so sind sehr unangenehme und relativ laute Geräusche entstanden- mitten in der Nacht, oder früh morgen, je nach dem wann die anderen Gäste nach hause kamen.
Sehr zu empfehlen ist das Restaurant im Haus und morgen joggen um Altstadt Platz, was sehr nahe liegt..
Wir waren sicherlich nicht das letzte mal da.. :)
For our Lord tour with 7 people the best lodging. Certainly there was no 5-star property, but the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. Accommodation very central. In a few minutes you are in the center of Prague.
Für unsere Herrentour mit 7 Personen die optimale Unterkunft. Sicherlich war es keine 5-Sterne-Unterkunft, aber die Schlafräume und Badezimmer waren sauber. Unterkunft sehr zentral gelegen. In wenigen Gehminuten ist man im Zentrum von Prag.

UK May Be Safe for an NCAA Tourney Bid, But I Wouldn't Lose to Vandy Just the Same [VIDEO]
It's been interesting and humorous watching these SEC Tournament games. Bridgestone Arena in Nashville is playing host to the tournament this year and to look out across the landscape of that building, you'd think Kentucky was playing in every game.
But, no, that's just what Big Blue Nation does at conference tournament time. The fans descend upon Atlanta or New Orleans or Tampa or, in this case, Nashville with trademark apoplectic fervor, fill up the arena even for games in which they are not involved (because the football schools' fans don't really care enough to make the trip en masse), and prepare for a weekend of CATS-CATS-CATS! At least, that's the plan.
Well there's another plan at play here:
The plan the Wildcats have to beat 10th-seeded Vanderbilt a third time to advance to the SEC semifinals. I know that this year's crop of bubble teams is among the worst we've ever seen. And, for those you of the "casual fan" persuasion, a bubble team is a team that's still hovering down around the tourney-inclusion cutline. That's a team that still has work to do to assure itself a spot in the Big Dance.
Well, the cutline is exactly where Kentucky has been hovering ever since the season-ending injury to Nerlens Noel. Many a college-basketball-analyzing talking head has said that Kentucky's wins over Missouri and Florida–and, to a lesser extent, the road win over Ole Miss–are enough to get the 'Cats into the NCAA Tournament. It's all so nebulous around the bottom, this year, that that might be true.
But I also believe that losing to Vanderbilt on Friday evening would constitute a "bad" loss and a chance UK doesn't want to take.
Arkansas–for the purposes of the power ranking–would have been a better opponent, but they can't seem to win once they walk out their front door.
So Kentucky gets Vanderbilt in a quarter-final match-up that, I believe, is a must-win for the 'Cats if Big Dance dreams are to stay alive.
Here's Kentucky coach John Calipari discussing the SEC Tournament and UK's win over Florida with ESPN senior college basketball writer Andy Katz:

Income Mobility in Russia in the mid-1990s
This paper considers the phenomenon of income mobility during the process of economic transition in Russia. The study is based on the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS) data. The process of economic transition has generated sharp changes in the distribution of income among Russian households. Simultaneously with the emergence of the Russian nouveau rich, whole strata of the population have seen their sources of income dry up, and their life savings wiped out in the financial turmoil of the 1990s. The authors set out to identify the winners and the losers of the Russian transition, as well as explain income mobility in terms of the underlying socioeconomic factors.

Although chief executive Steve McCann declined to name the potential occupiers or the development's prospective investors, he insisted "we have made further progress and have received a number of approvals on commercial terms".
Speaking at a quarterly presentation yesterday, the Lend Lease chief also flagged the company will hold a quarter share in the first two skyscrapers, possibly via a special purpose vehicle.
In a carefully worded statement, he claimed the focus is "on final approvals and documentation on a two-tower deal with Lend Lease as a 25 per cent investor", but said "we will not make an announcement until we have signed final contracts."
The market remained unmoved by the upbeat assessment, with the stock slipping 2.3 per cent to $7.33, in line with falls across the broader property index.
Some analysts blamed the share price slide on the company's continued obduracy around its full-year earnings guidance.
While the consensus for 2012 sits between $430 million and $440 million, Mr McCann refused to give a forecast. But he told the assembled group of 55 investors and analysts that a profit from the sale on the first Barangaroo tower "remains an FY12 proposition".
He also said the company was focused on constructing the first two skyscrapers concurrently, implying tenant negotiations for both are nearing conclusion.
The consistent silence around Baranagaroo has set investor nerves jangling in recent months as a full announcement on the project was expected at the end of last year.
It is widely believed KPMG and Lend Lease will share the first tower, while Westpac is expected to take out the second, but in the absence of any confirmation, many in the market have assumed the tenants are using the shifting economic conditions to deal.
Demand for Sydney office space has deteriorated following the sharp downturn in the country's financial services sector and renewed fears of a messy outcome to the euro zone's long-running debt crisis.
Simon Garing at Merrill Lynch has downgraded his rating on the company from a neutral to an underperform, largely over concerns Barangaroo will fail to deliver a forecast $40 million profit for 2012.
Mr McCann's comments about a two-tower deal galvanised the more bullish analysts.
Simon Fitzgerald at Moelis claimed he had "never heard the company speak about that scenario in a formal context" and insisted he was now far "more confident about the project" than before.
In a note to clients, Simon Wheatley of Goldman Sachs also retained his buy rating, claiming a "large contribution from Barangaroo profit recycling" may benefit earnings in 2013 if the deal on both skyscrapers "comes to fruition".
The Australian Financial Review
