How can we get our mother to stop calling us multiple times a day?
My father died a year ago August and my mom is now living in their Assisted Living apartment. Although she has always been a very controlling and manipulative person, along with constant anxiety, she has taken all of that to a new level. All that combined with a fairly advanced stage of dementia and the family is at their wits end. She uses her telephone constantly, calling each of us 10-20 times a day, sometimes a few minutes apart. She can't hear well and also often doesn't know who she has called so there is a lot of emotion tied up in a simple 'hello' telephone call - but usually she is calling to tell us what is bothering her and we "have to do something about it right now". Aside from taking away her telephone, we really don't know how to handle this anymore. And it is tearing apart my siblings, as they don't all see and talk to the same 'mother with dementia'. Any suggestions. We are in the process of having her moved to a more secure unit, no longer in the assisted living area, but she will really fight that move too, as will one of the siblings.

This must be so so stressful for you. I feel distressed just reading about your dilemma but to live with your mother calling multiple times a days and her ongoing manipulation seems overwhelming. It sounds as if you are also having to deal with other family dynamics without everyone on the same page.
My immediate reaction is the same as fellow-responder Elaine who suggests using caller ID and screening your calls. From years of experience, I can report this works exceedingly well. In many cases the behavior has actually been reversed after a number of calls have been placed with only an answering machine to respond.
Do not expect her 'controlling and manipulative' personality to be any different with Dementia than it was before the cognitive changes occurred and chances are the anxiety will also remain; you may actually see an exagerration of her former personality traits.
The diagnosis of a dementing neurological process leaves her incapable of controlling many of her actions. If she is not able to be in control, then you and your siblings need to be in charge and to act accordingly. This role-reversal is difficult at best but take heart because it may be short lived once you begin monitoring the phone calls. The fact that she is being moved to a more secure unit certainly underscores the staff agreeing with your assessment; the dementia is progressing and her skills are failing. There is a distinct possibility that phones will not be allowed in her new residence. Hopefully, she will also be kept busier with activities and enrichment programs and have less time to be making phone calls. It is often boredom and not need that leads to this kind of repetitive behavior. Keeping the person with dementia occupied frequently negates the aberrant behavior.
Meanwhile you need to save your own sanity by not allowing her to still have control over your life. Do take care of you!

Not2zen, This may sound cold but get caller ID and screen your calls. That way when you take her calls you will be better able to deal with her, more patient and calm. As long as the facility she is in is alert enough to her needs and she is safe a few calm calls is better than 20 frazzeled ones. Just my 2 cents. Elaine
I had to give my mom a phone but only gave her local calling and we are not local. I had no choice as I was working at the time and she would have called every few minutes. she wants long distance but she can't figure out how to do it and I made her a deal if she could get it, she can have it. she won't even try though. face that later. we are rvers and travel the country but she is in a home where she is safe. had to realize I could not take care of her long ago but I do know she is well cared for.
We are having the same problem and I agree 100% that you have to lessen your own stress by screening the calls. My Mom calls and leaves a voice mail that says she is missing something; and then calls back to say she has found it. This happens over and over. I make a conscious choice to only pick up her calls one or two times a day, as whatever her 'emergency' is often resolves itself before I could possibly help. Also, she cannot dial well and we received a phone bill with over 50 long distance misdials. By looking at the number combinations, we could see she was attempting to make a local call to one of her children and misdials. We ended up taking away her long distance capabilities. I can only imagine what the people that picked up those phone calls thought! I have also turned off my phone or forwarded by landline to my cell phone and put it on vibrate to prevent the intrusiveness of of the phone ringing all day long. That way she can leave a message and relieve some anxiety, but we don't have to listen to the ringing!
My mom calls every phone # that she knows numerous times a day. She doesn't care if she wakes people up 4:30 in the morning. She will call my # & work # . If you do not answer she usually calls back every 5 minutes unless she luckily reaches someone else to talk to. Some of my family members have blocked her phone # & will call her off & on. Others have taken the ringer off. Some of us have even got to the point that we do not answer the phone & will check messages. When she does not have access to long distance, she will call friends or family members collect numerous times even the ones who already called her during the day. Sometimes she has even called another # in my work to tell them that she was in the hospital & had to reach me.
10-20 is nothing, my grandma rings every day around 100 times
it's a problem for sure. My wife's mother has Alzheimers, and took to calling me constantly because she saw me as capable. Despite the fact that she has 3 children, she wanted me to help, immediately on any number of concerns, mostly non-critical issues. I finally started letting them go to voicemail, and answering after she had calmed down or forgotten what had gotten her so upset. More often than not, she would quickly forget what had gotten her riled.
This is so helpful to read. My boyfriend's mother is in her mid-stage of dementia and has good days and bad days. She has four children, all living within an hour of her, BUT their phones are long distance. With that said, she calls me numerous times a day. I feel very guilty when I don't answer her calls but find myself saying the same thing to her each time. After reading this I feel comfortable knowing it's ok to not answer each time she calls. She is living in an assisted living facility and is taken care of but I know she's lonely and wants her family to always be there with her. I feel bad for her and put myself in her shoes often and it makes me so sad. This is a terrible, terrible disease! Thanks again!
I wish my mother would call me! She just lays in the bed while her boyfriend "takes care" of her- he gives her pain meds that she doesn't need while he watches TV or takes her car off somewhere. She says he makes her meals but she has lost 20 pounds. They are both against any help. I visited during Christmas holidays and she kept feeling nauseous. I told her she should eat when she takes her meds. She said her boyfriend is taking care of her and I need to leave her alone. He goes with her to the doctor and doesn't want my sister or I to go so we really don't know how she is doing. He cant remember much more than she can. I live out if town and have called the Dr with no response. I am getting so frustrated! She and I were very close but now I know she will forget me sooner because her boyfriend controls her! She told me the other day she didn't know what she would do without him!
I have considered using the option of cutting off her phone access during normal sleeping hours to stop the night-time calls. The daytime calls I can ignore, though she rolls through her address book during any down time and calls everyone repeatedly. I have tried to tell relatives (who probably think I am being cold) to monitor calls and only answer when they have time and want to speak to her. Calls can be 5 minutes apart with no memory of the previous call. She lives in an active Assisted Living facility and as long as she is engaged in activities, she's fine. But boredom at night is unbearable for her. She's happy where she's at and her calls are almost always positive, just overwhelming.
I don't have an answer for this but am so relieved to read these comments. My Dad calls me over and over again several times in a row, sometimes 20 times a day.
My sister called me 9 times today, but she calls her kids like 30 times a day. The conversation is always the same-- she has no food, she's afraid to wash her hair, she's lonely, her son was cruel to her. I try to set boundaries by promising to call her every other day. When she completely rejects that plan, I explain that my husband has congestive heart failure, so I'm busy to the max with home management, caregiving, and his appointmemts. Her response was that she thinks her phone calls should have priority over my personal schedule. She really shows no regard or mercy for the very few relatives who still talk to her at all. Today when I told her I needed to hang up after talking 20 minutes, she said she just wanted to jump out the window and die. After our talks, it's not easy for me get over her emotional intensity. The discussion above is quite helpful. Thx.
This discussion has been really helpful. I've only recently had to place my mother in a facility (4 days ago) and I'm already in the exact same situation as not2Zen and many of you are in. Growing up, my mom was very manipulative, using the age-old tool of 'guilt trips' and such to the point that as an adult I had very little contact with her outside of a weekly phonecall. Now as her only family left, I'm the focus of her calls. In those 4 days, I think I've had about 75 phone calls, all hours of the day and night. Most are centered about misplaced objects, being lonely, being in pain,being ignored by the nursing staff - which while possible, not to the extend of her calls I dont think - and the fun ones, demands for things such as a child might ask for. "I want candy now." "Bring me a milk shake" "I need gum." Etc.
So far I've chosen to answer about 3-4 calls a day and visit once a day, given that we're just in the first week of her placement. I will have to taper visits down at some point, probably 3 times a week, once she (I hope!) settles in and gets into a routine.
The toughest part I think is overcoming the notion that we're being 'cold' about things such as screening calls and being selective what time of day to answer. We're never going to fully let go of that notion because we're feeling human beings and we can't help but be emotional situation. Once we accept that, we have to worry about our own sanity and stress first and foremost I feel or else our own lives fall apart and we won't be able to support and offer comfort to any of our loved ones.
I came upon this website looking for research papers that address the question whether prolonging phone calls with dementia patients is beneficial. My gut reaction is that longer phone calls are beneficial as they appreciated by the dementia patient and create a sense of normalcy for that person and may prevent 20 or 30 calls a day. Keeping a conversation going at an appropriate level commensurate with the dementia person's abilities and cognitive level seems to stimulate the person's mind, just like physical exercise stimulates a muscle and keeps it from deteriorating. Some parents of autistic children may easily grasp this concept.
So, too, longer phone conversations address the feelings of loneliness and isolation that many dementia patients experience, and possibly may diminish the person's anxiety and need to constantly try to make telephone contact with friends and family.
After a phone conversation, it may be a good idea to arrange fro a time for another phone call to be placed by the caregiver. Giving the dementia person reassurance that the caregiver will definitely call may suppress the need for an excessive number of calls made by the dementia person.
And this approach seems to be consistent with the golden rule - - do unto others . . .
Just my idea. Looking forward to comments. I could see this issue being addressed in a rigorous study done by some enterprising grad student who wants to make a name for themselves and help move the care of dementia patients forward. This is an area where new thinking seems to be in rare supply.
I think that this would be a great research topic and I can offer two comments. fIrst, i find that shorter conversations are better than long ones. As the conversation goes on my father repeats the same questions over and over and he gets frustrated and downright verbally abusive, swearing and calling me horrible names. Also, he phones me five minutes later with no recollection of the phone call. I know tell him that I Will phone three times a day on days off and one time a day on work days. I also visit regularly. My brother who gets more calls than me is at his wits end and is considering moving out of town.
There is a huge difference in dealing with a child on the autism spectrum (my son has Aspergers). While my son could understand and learn from and deal with his anxiety and issues and is now a successful and independent adult, my father will only get worse. While logical consequences works with children, I have learned that they are less successful in dealing with dementia, and that is the rub.
I agree with the previous person. It is not necessarily a good thing to have long phone conversations with my mother who is developing dementia rather rapidly. Longer phone calls don't seem to make a difference in terms of relieving her anxiety, and reassuring my Mom that I will call her the next day also doesn't matter. She calls whenever she wants to call me, regardless of what I say about my own work schedule or that I will call her once a day minimum or if it is 5:30am. I now have to put my Mom's phone number on the "rejected caller" list in my Contacts list on my cell phone at night and other times when I can't spend 30 minutes trying to explain something to her, so that when she calls it goes to voice mail. This way the phone isn't ringing at all hours of the night or interrupting me at work, and I can call her when I have the time to talk. I've only been doing this for a little while now and while she doesn't like it, she seems to be calling less frequently. Not an easy situation for anyone going through it. My Mom lives in a nursing home and they offer very little in the way of activities to keep my mother occupied, unfortunately. The phone situation is distressing to say the least, and she seems to only call me multiple times per day, not my siblings. I hate to think of her feeling lonely so I do talk to her at least once per day and I visit her 2-3 times per week, but I also am the primary caregiver for my father who lives in an independent retirement facility (but he doesn't drive so I do all his errands, make all his doctor appointments and take him to all of them, etc). He also calls me multiple times per day when he is anxious about something. It's terrible to have to ignore their calls at times, but it's the only thing I can do to preserve my own sanity.
It has been very helpful finding this website and reading people's threads on here. My mother has always been a controlling and manipulating person also, which has got worse now she is in her late seventies and has dementia. I also divert her number to voice mail some days as I have been driven crazy at times by numerous calls every day from her and have found it is the only way to deal with it for the sake of your own sanity.
To the person who commented about longer telephone conversations that may help reduce the amount of calls, whilst I understand in theory helping with the loneliness and anxiety felt, people with dementia tend to repeat themselves because they cannot hold a thought for any length of time obviously because their memory has been affected, different degrees at different stages, and are not really capable of having a long conversation, They, also have no concept of time and I really don't think that it would reduce the amount of calls, certainly not in my Mum's case.
This is quite a prevalent problem. I have had my mother in two assisted living facilities over the past months. I gave her a cell phone in the first place as I did not think she was getting proper care and this was for me to monitor her needs. However at the second place I feel confident that she is being well cared for. So I kept the cell phone as I too was getting screaming calls all times of the day and night for help. She also screams there at the facility it is a habit of the brain damage of the stroke. Now she is back screaming for a cell phone and I refuse to give her one as it just upsets me dealing with her and causes issues with the staff. My mother too has always been a control person and it has been her way or the highway. I am the only family member dealing with her and I have come to the conclusion that I need my own peace of mind in order to better deal with her needs. So I am not giving her back the phone. Do I feel guilty for denying her the phone? Yes but I also have to protect my own self as her main point of reference. I go to see her numerous times during the week to monitor her well being. Thank God she is in a great facility and I feel good about her care!
I too am dealing with the numerous phone calls. ( average of 20 per day), and all with the same question....Is anyone coming over tonight? This is after we just left her. This past weekend, my husband and I went on an overnight for the first time in almost a year. My friend came and spent 5 hours with Mom, had lunch with her and sat and went through pics. Mom managed to call 28 times on that day.....this is just an example. It seems almost like the more company she gets, the more she needs. We see her about 4 times a week and my daughters see her once each. My brother lives in another state, and sees her once or twice a year for about 2 hours each. My neice lives 20 minutes away and only visits when her Dad (my brother) comes. He calls every couple of weeks....I am the only game is town ( with the help of my wonderful husband) and it is wearing us down. She moved her in 2003 at the age of 83 and lived in an apt about a mile from us. She did well physically until this past Jan when she fell. Her dementia, however has been progressing for several years and we have tried to deal with it, but now she is in an assisted living facility, refusing to take part in social activities and sits and calls me over an over....I laugh and say how can she forget everything else but my phone number???? I know people say to ignore the calls, but she just calls every couple of minutes. I am thinking of blocking her number and saying our phone is out of order and then call her several times a day. Any suggestions? I read a comment on another site and the woman wanted to know why it is just the mothers.....LOL Kathy
To all those daughters out there....I feel your pain! We have this wonderful picture in our head of what life in a facility could be if ONLY THEY WOULD COOPERATE!! Mom calls to say no one comes to visit (but yet she gets regular visits) but in the same breath she says people come by all the time and interrupts me!! I love all the previous comments about blocking her calls and letting her leave messages. Then only call when we our emotionally ready to. If we don't take care of our own sanity, then there will be no one to take care of Mom!
There is a new home phone service launched to help with this. It is designed for loved ones with dementia.
It helps with repeated calling and late night calling. For example, there is a mobile app for the family/caregiver to set custom quiet hours. You can also record a customer message, ie "Mom, its late at night and we are asleep. If you still want to call, press the number 5".
Here is their website. This is a home phone service for loved one FYI.
My heart goes out to each and every one of you. I am in the same situation with my mother. She has been in care for 18 months now. She has always been difficult and after all these years her medical team have diagnosed what all of us have only guessed at growing up with her cruelty. She has border line personality disorder among other things and it is worse. Everything is worse with age and that is why we all must take care of ourselves. Meditation. Yoga. Mindfulness. Practice positive thinking and caring. One thing I can share is it does not get better once they are in care. Most of them hate it. I see it at my mom's facility. Regular visits from family help but it is exhausting and it takes away from those joyous years you can spend with your own family. So I would recommend you put yourselves first. Don't buy into the manipulation. You aren't on this earth to not be happy or dragged into the drama of another, even if it is your parent. I promise myself every day that I will not hurt my kids that way. I love them and I love myself too much. Keep well...all of you.

Could you find yourself at the wheel of two tons of rolling steel that has malevolent code coursing through its electronic veins?
The prospect is not so implausible. A handful of real if fairly benign cell phone viruses have already been observed, in antivirus industry parlance, "in the wild."
Still, a virus in a cell phone might muck up an address book or, at worst, quietly dial Vanuatu during peak hours. But malicious code in cars, which rely on computers for functions as benign as seat adjustment and as crucial as antiskid systems that seize control of the brakes and throttle to prevent a crash, could do far more harm.
The Lexus tale, based on murky reporting and a speculative statement by Kaspersky Labs, a Moscow antivirus company, seems to have been unfounded. "Lexus and its parent companies, Toyota Motor Sales USA Inc. and Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan, have investigated this rumor," the carmaker said in a statement last month, "and have determined it to be without foundation."
But the question lingers: Could a car be infected by a virus passed along from, say, your cell phone or handheld computer? Or worse, by a hacker with a Bluetooth device within range of the car's antennas?
The short answer is, not yet.
"Right now this is a lot of hype rather than reality, the idea that cars could be turning against us," said Thilo Koslowski, a vice president and lead analyst for auto-based information and communication technologies at Gartner G2, a technology research firm. "We won't see John Carpenter's 'Christine' becoming a reality anytime soon."
But Koslowski and others are quick to point out that the elements for mischief are slowly falling into place:
First, vehicles are increasingly controlled by electronics--to the point that even the simple mechanical link between the gas pedal and engine throttle is giving way to "drive by wire" systems.
Second, more data is being exchanged with outside sources, including cell phones and real-time traffic reports.
Finally, the interlinking of car electronics opens up the possibility that automotive worms could burrow into a memory storage area in ways that engineers never imagined.
Since the early 1990s, the various computers that manage a car's engine, transmission, brakes, air bags and entertainment systems have been increasingly linked in networks much like the ones that offices use to let workers share printers, scanners and backup storage drives. Benefits of interconnecting the electronic devices include less wiring--a luxury car can contain miles of copper cables--and reduced weight, an important factor in improving performance and fuel economy.
Less obvious are the advantages of having the components communicate: an antiskid system, designed to help keep a car from spinning out of control, links sensors in the steering, brakes and throttle, and can effectively seize control from the driver.
Other systems in which computers essentially take over, if only for a second, include emergency-brake assist, which provides maximum braking force when sensors detect the need for a panic stop, and "active steering," a feature now exclusive to BMW in which computers can compensate for a driver's recklessness.
The latest versions of in-car information systems, known as telematics, include the ability to diagnose vehicle maladies. General Motors' OnStar can forward readings from sensors throughout the car for troubleshooting, a process called remote diagnostics. (All GM cars will include OnStar by the end of 2007.)
The data, read from the engine-control computer, is transmitted over the OnStar cellphone link. Several automakers have discussed plans to use this conduit to update a vehicle's software or even perform electronic repairs, though no automaker is currently doing this regularly. Microsoft has entered this business, too,

I have done just that and arranged some old and new tracks which I really like. Click the link and enjoy some Telefon Tel Aviv, Moderat, Lulu Rouge, Machinedrum, Underworld, Om Unit, Asbjørn (Official) and even more Boum & spread
Mar 15, 16
when I first listened to Lulu Rouge´s amazing album back in 2013 there was a voice which quite peaks out and got my attention. I did some research and found that danish pop kiddo named Asbjørn (Official). I instantly knew if I produce a new record it would be pretty sick to have him on bord. So we got in touch, thanks Sinnbus, and we came up with "No Tongue In Cheek" - which is probably the most popish song I did so far. I´m pretty happy about that collaboration and kinda proud to tell you guys that we released it just today. Thanks buddy. So spread the word and check out the release and explore the sick remixes by NGHT DRPS, Liam Back, Austin Edwards, 9b0, KiRRiN iSLAND and Matvrak. ... check out that Lulu Rouge stuff too and enjoy the weekend :) iTunes:
btw. lets celebrate that tonite in dresden La Boum Fatale (SINNBUS) ♦ Altes Wettbüro + Aftershow

Transcend Mediocrity Through Creativity
As an internationally recognized graffiti artist, author and entrepreneur, Erik redefines the term "keynote speaker." Pulling from his history as both a businessman and an artist, he has grown to become one of the most sought-after corporate speakers available today. Erik's on-stage painting seamlessly becomes a visual metaphor to the core of his message, encouraging organizations toward profitability through innovations and superior levels of performance. His list of clients includes AT&T, Disney, London School of Business, Microsoft, FedEx, Exxon Mobil, Ernst & Young, and XPrize; Erik has even been featured as a TED presenter. The responses received have been nothing short of incredible, with standing ovations to prove it.
Erik's understanding of vision was originally born in the school of disappointment. After a eight-year career as a partner in a corporate firm, he became frustrated by the lack of innovative thought and corresponding profits he saw in business. So he set out to challenge companies to change their way of thinking, while simultaneously pursuing his own individual passions. He rediscovered his love for art, and now plays in the business world by working through his art.
In the past 10 years, he has shared his incredible message with the largest and most influential companies in the world, leaving behind his prized artwork as a reminder of his passion for breakthrough thinking. He's the Warhol of Wall Street, the Renoir of ROI, the Picasso of Productivity, the Jobs of… well, having a Job.
He is Erik Wahl: graffiti artist, author, entrepreneur and philanthropist.

The "Real World" of PM. Is it truly "one of a kind"?
Lee R. Lambert, PMI Fellow, has established the standard against which educators and practitioners in the field of Project Management are measured. In 1981 he was invited to join the team that created the Project Management Institute's (PMI) Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification Program.
He is a Past President Central Ohio PMI. Lee authored two books and more than 30 professional article/whitepapers. He is also PMI SME for the EVMS Practice Guide and the Project Estimating Practice Guide Educated in Engineering Design at Utah Technical College. He is a holder of a Master's Certificate in Project Management from George Washington University.
As the creator of the "Stealth Learning" concept, no other educator/speaker can contend with his uncanny technical knowledge, unique material content and refreshingly entertaining delivery. Lee takes the saying; "Been there, done that, got the T-shirt" to the next level as he continues to "make a difference" in his chosen field.

TV Review: The CW's 'The Secret Circle'
Witchy teen drama makes a solid companion with 'The Vampire Diaries'
Robert Browning, who observed "Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?" would not have lasted very long running a broadcast television network.
Sure, it's easy to point to the huge risks that pay off hugely and change the fate of TV networks. A singing competition in which a British guy nobody has heard of insults the talentless? Airing in the summer? Crazy. A drama about plane crash survivors on an island with weird things in the woods? In the same season as you're airing a comedic soap opera narrated by a dead woman? Crazy.
But in most seasons and on most networks, "dice-rolling" usually takes a backseat to "managed risk." And this is even the case in circumstances where you'd think wild gambling might be the order of the day.
The CW did a little gambling with "Ringer" and the results weren't overwhelmingly successful, unless you think that an audience of 2.7 million viewers against zero scripted competition is likely going to hold up in Week 2, especially given reviews that I'll generously call "mixed."
And I guess The CW is even gambling a tiny bit on "Hart of Dixie," banking on another Old WB-style dramedy after similar offerings like "Privileged" and "Life Unexpected" had only brief runs.
But nobody anywhere is going to classify the Thursday drama "The Secret Circle" as a gamble.
Thursday 9 p.m. is one of TV's most crowded time slots, but on The CW, it's also the time slot after the network's biggest hit, "The Vampire Diaries." After giving "The Vampire Diaries" variably compatible lead-outs in "Supernatural" and then "Nikita" the past two seasons, The CW's approach this fall has been to put fish in a barrel and load up a rifle.
"The Secret Circle" comes from "Vampire Diaries" author LJ Smith and it has been adapted by "Vampire Diaries" producer Kevin Williamson. And although the star-making promotional legwork didn't necessarily pay off for Britt Robertson on "Life Unexpected," The CW is hoping that it at least laid the groundwork for a full-scale breakout with "Secret Circle."
There are many ways to design a show and "The Secret Circle" feels like it was developed with compatibility as a higher priority than creativity. But there are worse things than being compatible with what is The CW's most popular and also best series. "The Secret Circle" may be over-calculated and under-inspired, but that doesn't necessarily mean "The Secret Circle" is bad. There's something to be said for setting reasonable goals and largely succeeding, especially when there are plenty of shows that aspire to a good deal less and still fail.
More on "The Secret Circle" after the break...
One thing I often forget when expressing my unironic appreciation for the twisty, supernaturally diverse high drama of "The Vampire Diaries" is just how dreadful the "Vampire Diaries" pilot was.
Marcos Siega helmed that pilot and he continued with the show from those lean early days into better times, but it's amusing to recall the ever-present black crows and the ubiquitous rolling fog that dominated that first installment, a corniness that compensated for how little fun anybody else seemed to be having. I called the pilot entertaining, but also described it as "a hammy gothic yarn for teens, a Hammer Studios version of 'Dawson's Creek.'"
In this department at the very least, "The Secret Circle" has an early leg-up.
Robertson plays Cassie, a teen whose life is turned upside down when her mother dies in a mighty suspicious fire. Cassie packs up and moves in with her grandma (Ashley Crow) in a picturesque harbor town in Washington. It takes almost no time for Cassie to realize that people in Chance Harbor are very forward. If she's not being aggressively stalked, she's being approached by strangers to talk about the way things were when her parents were growing up.
Perhaps rendered oblivious to creepy behavior by her grief, Cassie isn't disturbed by the dude next door who likes to watch her getting changed for bed or when the proprietor at the local hangout spot tells her that her family and his family are connected in the stars. And even when her car spontaneously goes up in flames she's shaken, but only temporarily. And when a kid she barely knows invites her to go wandering deep into the woods and they end up an abandoned warehouse and a group of intense teens come out of hiding and approach, her immediate instinct is guarded curiosity, rather than rampant Macing.
As you might guess from the title of the show, the kids have a secret to reveal: Cassie's a witch! They're all witches! And what's more, her parents were witches and their parents were witches and with Cassie around, their circle (the secret one) is complete and their powers are amplified.
Of course, there's some debate regarding what should be done with this new power, which is just one of the possible conflicts building in the "Secret Circle" pilot. You've also got the mysterious Charles (Gale Harold) skulking around in the background either killing people or threatening to kill people. And he's not the only magic-wielding citizen over drinking age in Chance Harbor.
Genre fiction always has a choice regarding whether or not to have fun with the allegory that can come from stepping outside of the ordinary world. "The Vampire Diaries" has succeeded surprisingly well without a hint of allegory, while "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" used to lay it on thick. "The Secret Circle" is taking a little bit from each column. There are a couple good laughs that come from paralleling teen magical experimentation with either drug use or sexuality. Like when sensitive Adam (Thomas Dekker) returns from proving to Cassie that that she has powers (and nearly kissing her), his prissy witch girlfriend Diana (Shelley Hennig) gives an outraged, "You did magic with her?!?" as if they'd been off having sex under the bleachers. But other than a couple nods of that sort, magic and witchcraft at taken at face value.
That yields one of my "Secret Circle" concerns, because the witching teens are mighty powerful mighty fast. If, say, they were just playing Ouija Board games and Cassie's presence suddenly let them successfully pull off Light As A Feather, Stiff As A Board, I'd think there was ample potential for growth. But we're in the pilot and these teens are already harnessing pretty massive elemental powers. At this rate, they'll be raising the dead by November sweeps and folding the universe like an origami crane by the end of Season 1.
I guess that's for Kevin Williamson and his posse to worry about, just like Williamson and Julie Plec will eventually have to deal with the absurdly accelerate pace of plotting on "Vampire Diaries," which is one of those things that isn't a problem until it is. [I'm looking at you, "The O.C." Season 2.]
I saw a hilarious New York Times review that referred to how Robertson seemed less comfortable with the "melodramatics" of "The Secret Circle" than she was with "the wry comedy" of "Life Unexpected." I'm not gonna call that reviewer out, but that would be somebody would didn't watch "Life Unexpected" after the pilot, since that series progressed down a hyper-emotional and melodramatic arc that made everything else on The CW look like "Sesame Street" last season and Robertson was forced into darker and darker and more vulnerable places. In that context, her limitations were certainly clear, but "The Secret Circle" must feel like riding (and frequently falling) on a motorcycle and then just hunkering down on a Big Wheel. She's got a solid vulnerability and she also plays determined pluck well. On "Vampire Diaries," Williamson has excelled at giving his versatile actors more to do and keeping a tight leash on the ones who may not have the same range and I trust he'll work well with Robertson.
The rest of the coven is a mixed bag, though that may be just a function of a premise pilot that makes it difficult to service a full circle of witches. I can't rule out Hennig, Louis Hunter and Jessica Parker Kennedy becoming interesting actors in later episodes, but they made no real impression here. Also coming out muted, though probably intentionally, is Dekker, who has mostly chosen to emphasize "sensitivity" thus far.
If you've been following my early writing on "The Secret Circle," you've probably caught my early enthusiasm for Phoebe Tonkin, who you'll probably only know if you're a fan of Aussie soaps of if you found yourself inexplicably watching the mediocre "Red Dawn" rip-off "Tomorrow, When the War Begins" on a long airplane flight. She's got one of the showiest roles in the "Secret Circle" pilot, playing bad-girl witch Faye, the leading advocate for taking full advantage of their boosted gifts. It's a juicy part and Tonkin provides the perfect amount of potentially unhinged glee. With the other witches hung up on that hoary Spider-Man power/responsibility binary, Tonkin's the young actor who gets to have the most fun.
Remembering, again, how little fun anybody was having back in the "Vampire Diaries" pilot, there's also ample reason to praise Gale Harold. When last we saw him, he was stuck in a cringe-worthy supporting roll on "Hellcats" (slightly redundant), but he's been set free here and nobody's forcing him to soft-pedal Charles' malevolent nature. Harold's a little mustache-twirl-y (not literally), but if you can't slice off a bit of ham and let loose in a drama about teenage witches, what's the point? I also sensed potential in Natasha Henstridge's principal-with-a-secret, though that has less to do with anything she gets to do in the pilot and more to do with a feeling that on things like "Eli Stone" and "Commander in Chief," the "Species" veteran has proven herself to a kinda underrated actress.
"The Secret Circle" isn't designed to win new viewers to The CW. It breaks no new topical or formal ground and nothing in the pilot is designed to be all that surprising, though director Liz Friedlander keeps the pace snappy and uses the Pacific Northwest setting well. All "The Secret Circle" is designed to do is go down palatably after "The Vampire Diaries," with the challenge being that "The Vampire Diaries" is an establish show hitting on all of its available cylinders, while "The Secret Circle" has some of the tentativeness and broadness that you associate with pilots. I'd also guess that "The Secret Circle" is going to skew younger than "The Vampire Diaries" currently does, since I don't think a "Vampire Diaries" character has set foot in a high school in months. I don't think "The Secret Circle" is a better show than "Nikita" was when it premiered or when it ended its season, but I know that it's a better fit on Thursdays at 9 p.m.
As a guy who watches a lot of TV, my preference is always for shows with the highest aspirations, even if the reach does, indeed, exceed the grasp. But I'm OK with shows that deliver basically on what they promise. For an assortment of reasons, I've watched the "Secret Circle" pilot three times and it's delivered the same current of amusing, low-reaching entertainment each time. That's certainly enough to keep me watching for a few weeks to see if Williamson and company have any desire to go for more.
"The Secret Circle" premieres at 9 p.m. on Thursday (September 15) night on The CW.

This topic has 1 voice, contains 0 replies, and was last updated by Mauroh 1271 день ago.
Let's take a typical sense method to this. Ken Proxmire, also of Michigan, won $1 million in the Michigan lottery. The patterns of winners and losers was what Ace Lee wanted to learn. It can tell you the greatest way to play the Mega Millions lottery and the greatest way to play Powerball. winning the lottery.
If you distribute the winnings amongst group members, you are additionally liable for present taxes on amounts far more than $10,000 provided to each and every group member annually. He discovered a lottery winning numbers pattern and he states that anyone employing this lotto technique can win the lottery guaranteed. Lottery winners should setup a blind trust or some other sort of trust to claim their winnings. Basically the lottery winner assigns the lottery payments to the lender for a a lot smaller lump sum. Hopefully future big winners will be as sensible as Brad Duke who invested his winnings wisely. Most men and women would give up.
In addition Ramdass stopped paying rent and other bills as properly. He has rejoined society and got lucky. Properly this gentleman is identified as Larry Blair and he is a mathematics professor from Oklahoma. I say, yes, he must be able to maintain his winnings.
But Denise, I nonetheless actually want to win the lottery! A $1 million dollar jackpot is not a $1 million prize by any implies. The ticket was sold at a Publix store in Kissimmee — and on a road that's actually known as Fortune Road. Ahsoak later stated he would donate $100,000 to Standing Collectively Against Rape. Another big dilemma is the lack of financial guidance when being handed over a huge amount of cash.

Multex 360, an advanced research and analysis software tool, helps financial portfolio managers and analysts find, filter and share research information.
The Multex 360 system was built using Microsoft's Visual Studio .net development tool and the C# programming language. Users access the system via a web browser, which connects to Microsoft web servers using Simple Object Access Protocol or HTTP.
Reuters' adoption of .net technology is a welcome boost for Microsoft. Despite heavy publicity and predictions that it would change the face of corporate computing, .net has yet to be widely adopted by business.
Isaak Karaev, president of Reuters Investment Banking and Brokerage, said, "Multex 360 showcases our proven expertise in designing custom research solutions for leading global asset management firms. Multex 360 directly addresses the challenges of managing and analysing an overwhelming amount of investment information."
Earlier this year, Reuters announced plans to shake up its information services strategy to help it achieve annual cost savings of £440m by the end of 2005.
The firm's electronic information group, which recently reported a record loss of £493m and announced a further 3,000 job cuts, has been hit by harsh trading conditions and a slump in demand for its information services.
The firm has a five-point strategy to reverse its fortunes, which includes: investment in content to enhance new product lines; a move to a single technology platform to deliver products; investment in analytic software, including risk management tools; and building on the success of its instant messaging service.
Reuters has shed about 2,500 jobs in the past two years and last year cut IT contractor rates by up to 20%. Shortly afterwards Greg Meekings, Reuters CIO, said he was considering outsourcing some of the firm's IT services.

BAYCHESTER - Mayor Bill de Blasio now has the support of New York City Archbishop Timothy Dolan in his push for universal pre-K in New York City.
De Blasio and Cardinal Dolan visited students at St. Francis of Assisi School in Baychester Thursday, where Dolan gave his approval to the mayor's plan. Dolan says that between the archdiocese and the Brooklyn and Queens dioceses, there will now be 1,700 seats for preschool students this September.
De Blasio's goal for September is more than 53,000 additional pre-K seats. He already had commitments with more than 800 locations citywide for 29,000 additional seats.

The mayor is pushing for Albany to approve a tax hike on the wealthy to pay for universal pre-K, along with more after-school programs for middle-schoolers. Gov. Andrew Cuomo insists the program can move forward without raising taxes.
