4 Notable Travelers Share Their SecretsMay 27, 2013•06:05 AM Bruce Schoenfeld ... Maura Tierney Actor (ER, The Good Wife, now on Broadway in Lucky Guy) What I love: I love that my work takes me to different places. I've been on location in North Carolina and Jamaica and St. John and Toronto and Dublin--all over. It's just great to be able to see places and be working at the same time. I also love those six-hour flights between L.A. and New York, which is my usual route. For those six hours, I can do anything I want. What I hate: The only thing I don't like about the entire process is taking off my shoes. I have everything else down--I even travel with my dog, and that works out fine. I put my things into a baggie; I'm very good at the whole process. But unbuckling or unlacing my shoes is just too much. I dread it, to be honest. I don't want to have to wear loafers just because I'm traveling. Where I go: I love going to Europe to work. Once you're over there, everywhere is a jumping-off point for everywhere else. When I was working in Dublin, I ended up visiting London, Istanbul, Beirut. I'd go back any time. Tip: I listen to the radio on my iPhone and my laptop. I have the NPR News app and my favorite stations, and I listen wherever I go. I never mind a delay or a break because I just punch up the app for "Wait, Wait … Don't Tell Me!" on my phone, and I'm fine. ... news.terra.com/4-notable-travelers-share-their-secrets,c2c6b044757de310VgnCLD2000000ec6eb0aRCRD.html

From playwright and writer/producer Sarah Treem and co-creator Hagai Levi, The Affair is an intense and intimate exploration of two marriages and an affair that disrupts them — with all of the complex consequences that result. It centers on Noah (West), a good husband, devoted father of four, and New York City high school teacher whose settled, comfortable world is about to implode when he meets a woman (Wilson) he thinks is his soul mate. Emmy-nominated Tierney, repped by UTA and Untitled, will play Helen, Noah’s college sweetheart, best friend, mother of his children, lover and wife of 17 years. Her world will be buffeted by Noah’s infidelity and, over time, she will swing back and forth from understanding to furious, from forgiving to vengeful. Tierney, who recurs on CBS’s The Good Wife, recently made her Broadway debut opposite Tom Hanks in Lucky Guy. www.deadline.com/2013/08/maura-tierney-to-co-star-in-showtime-pilot-the-affair/

Carol Burnett, Marilu Henner, Helen Reddy to Star in CA Performances of Surviving Grace, Critically-Acclaimed Alzheimer's Play by Trish VradenburgSOURCE: USAgainstAlzheimer's USAgainstAlzheimer's August 21, 2013 09:00 ET Events to Take Place in Los Angeles on September 25 and San Diego on September 27; Proceeds to Benefit USAgainstAlzheimer's Network, WomenAgainstAlzheimer's and Shiley-Marcos Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the University of California, San Diego LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - August 21, 2013) - This September, a cast of Hollywood stars will take the stage for special ensemble readings of Act 1 of Surviving Grace, an original play penned by comedy writer Trish Vradenburg ("Designing Women," "Family Ties," "Kate and Allie"), co-founder of USAgainstAlzheimer's -- a national advocacy organization committed to stopping Alzheimer's by 2020. Based on Trish's experience as a caregiver to her mother who died of Alzheimer's in 1992, Surviving Grace is a brutally honest, irreverent and moving story -- laced with humor -- that sheds light on the emotional ups and downs that 15.4 million Alzheimer's caregivers go through each day in the U.S. The play comes to California after being produced at The Kennedy Center, off-Broadway, cross-country and in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The first star-studded reading was at The Phillips Collection in Washington, DC last fall. The Los Angeles performance will take place at the Stephen J. Ross Theatre at Warner Bros. Studios with honorary director James Burrows at the helm, and boasts a legendary cast including Carol Burnett, Marilu Henner, Loni Anderson, Helen Reddy and Lou Gossett, Jr. The host committee for the September 25th event also features a diverse group of performers dedicated to the cause, including Ann-Margret, Ann Archer, Elizabeth Banks, Diahann Caroll, Richard Chamberlain, Joan Collins, Chace Crawford, Donna de Varona, Morgan Fairchild, Michael Feinstein, Carrie Fisher, Peter Gallagher, Phyllis George, Whoopi Goldberg, Linda Gray, George Hamilton, Samantha Harris, Tippi Hedren, Marilu Henner, Joanna Kerns, Donna Mills, Stefanie Powers, Seth Rogen, Maria Shriver, Molly Sims, Jill St. John, Maura Tierney, Joan Van Ark, Robert Wagner, and Henry Winkler, among others. Following the Los Angeles performance, Surviving Grace will travel to San Diego for another benefit show on September 27 at the Shiley Theatre on the campus of the University of San Diego. The San Diego production also features marquee names including local philanthropist Darlene Shiley, Helen Reddy, Diane Rehm, Marilu Henner, Susan Taylor, Robert Foxworth and Jim Laslavic, and is being presented by USAgainstAlzheimer's and B.A.B.E.S "Beating Alzheimer's By Embracing Science," an organization dedicated to harnessing the power of women to beat Alzheimer's by raising funds to support the most promising Alzheimer's research. Both events will feature a celebrity red carpet, followed by the play reading and receptions with the casts. To purchase tickets in advance or to learn more about becoming a sponsor, please visit: www.survivinggrace.org"I thought my mom was invincible, but she was no match for Alzheimer's. I watched helplessly as her mind, her dignity, and finally her body vanished into the unforgiving chasm of Alzheimer's," said Trish Vradenburg. "So why a serious play with a large dose of humor? Because that's how I survive life -- if you don't laugh, you'll cry. We have to bring this disease out of the shadows and into the spotlight; that is why I wrote Surviving Grace and why I'm excited to be sharing it during this special event." Alzheimer's affects one in three seniors, and is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States. The number of Americans with the disease is projected to triple by 2050 -- from 5.4 million to nearly 16 million -- unless we find a treatment or cure, and ten percent of victims are between the ages of 40 and 65. "Although it touches so many of our lives, Alzheimer's is rarely discussed in polite company," said Carol Burnett. "I am thrilled to be involved in the Los Angeles production of Surviving Grace, which shows us that we can have these difficult conversations without losing our sense of humor along the way." "Through my past experiences as a caregiver for my mother, uncle and aunt with Alzheimer's, I've seen firsthand that Alzheimer's is a disease that will stop at nothing to take things -- moments, memories and loved ones -- away," said Darlene Shiley. "However, Alzheimer's advocates remain driven by the knowledge that with the proper resources we can stop this disease and spare future generations from it." Alzheimer's also has a disproportionate effect on women, who represent nearly two-thirds of Americans with the disease and 70 percent of caregivers. "As a woman, I am twice as likely as a man to get Alzheimer's in my lifetime, and two to three times as likely to act as a caregiver to a family member with the disease," said Helen Reddy. "Anyone who cares about women's rights should care about finding a cure for Alzheimer's -- which is why I am so excited to be a part of this special production of Surviving Grace." Researchers believe that it is possible to stop Alzheimer's within the decade if the right resources are appropriately applied -- just as we did for HIV/AIDS in the 1990s. In support of this goal, proceeds from the Surviving Grace Los Angeles premiere will support USAgainstAlzheimer's Network, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to mobilizing individuals to demand the resources and system reforms needed to achieve the bold but attainable goal of ending Alzheimer's by 2020. Proceeds from the San Diego production will benefit the Shiley-Marcos Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the University of California, San Diego and WomenAgainstAlzheimer's, the first national network of women in leadership positions working to speed the pace of research and build momentum to end Alzheimer's disease. USAgainstAlzheimer's is a related 501(c)(4) national advocacy campaign and advocacy network committed to stopping Alzheimer's by 2020. An independent non-profit organization working in partnership with the Alzheimer's community, USAgainstAlzheimer's works to stop the disease by advancing policies that support research for a cure. For more information about USAgainstAlzheimer's, visit www.usagainstalzheimers.org. B.A.B.E.S. "Beating Alzheimer's by Embracing Science" is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds to support the most promising Alzheimer's disease (AD) research. Because women are disproportionately affected by AD, the grassroots organization aims to capture the creative synergy of women in helping fine a cure.

An Interview with Bob Odenkirk of AMC’s ‘Breaking Bad’By Michael Grebb September 12, 2013 Looking for a way to keep your “Breaking Bad” addiction fed after the show shuts down the lab? Better Call Saul because AMC and Sony Pictures Television just this week closed the much-anticipated deal to give TV’s slimiest lawyer his own show. We’ve known for a while that creator Vince Gilligan has been pitching a Saul Goodman spinoff, and so it was amid all that noise last month that we sat down with Bob Odenkirk, the comedian, writer and actor whose portrayal of Saul has won kudos from audiences and critics alike. So “Breaking Bad” is ending. Any reflections on this wild ride? It’s been a challenge, and a fun challenge. Quite a departure from most of your previous work. I obviously never did drama before… Saul is a character who talks a lot. In comedy, you have three lines and then somebody else talks… In this thing, this guy speaks in monologues, sometimes in two or three pages of just him. So when I first got the script, I thought it would be rewritten and just boiled down to a line or two, which is what you do in comedy. But then I got the rewrites, and it was pretty much the same. That must have come as a shock. Actually, that first rewrite—one word was changed out of four pages of dialogue. And so then I had to start to read it and go “How do you learn all these lines?” Maura Tierney was in a movie I directed, and so I asked her about it—doing “E.R.” And she said the hardest thing was to memorize those medical terms. Those lines that are medical terms are so hard because it’s just disconnected from your experience—it has no meaning. But you have to say it right because doctors watch the show, and they get upset. But thankfully I don’t have that with Saul. He has a train of thought that he’s always following. The only thing with him is that sometimes he’s trying to sell somebody on something, a point of view, and then he’ll realize it’s not working, and he switches up. So in the middle of a monologue, he changes his tact. ... www.cablefax.com/cfp/just_in/An-Interview-with-Bob-Odenkirk-of-AMCs-Breaking-Bad_59845.html

I love old stuff. It is interesting to read what was going on at some point with another look, after years. I want to see "my dead boyfriend" (good luck anthony, aka dr green). Well, it would be better with Maura, but I don´t think she´ll do it (not even a small part). Anyway, I enjoy Billy´s humor and Scotland PA is one of my fav movies, so I´ll certanly check it out. Now, how Billy considers "commercial" a movie he calls penis is a mystery to me. And it reminds me of that episode of Newsradio when bill says penis... Good times,good times Edit to add this article: # BosMayor Round-Up: Sept. 18, 2013By Gintautas Dumcius Sep. 18, 2013 6 days to the Sept. 24 preliminary. Results from the Suffolk University/Herald poll are expected this morning at 9. Another poll, from MassINC, is expected to come out on Thursday morning. City Councillor At-Large Felix Arroyo and District 5 Councillor Rob Consalvo meet on Wednesday with the Boston Teachers Union, which gave a preliminary endorsement to the two candidates earlier this week. EVERETT SQUARE THEATRE OWNER UPSET WITH CONLEY: The owner of the Everett Square theatre appears to be annoyed with Suffolk District Dan Conley, putting out a statement asking him to stop using the theatre in a mailer of his. Pat Tierney, the owner, said Conley has had little to do with the theatre and instead credited District 5 Councillor Rob Consalvo and Mayor Thomas Menino. "Dan Conley has never asked or received permission to use my theatre in his publications. I would like him to stop using my theater as a prop for his misleading campaign pitch, " she said in a statement posted on the theatre’s website. She is the mother of Maura Tierney, an actress who is backing Consalvo and maxed out to his campaign in July. ADDITIONAL ADS FROM ARROYO, GOLAR RICHIE: Former state Rep. Charlotte Golar Richie’s campaign released their second TV ad. This one is 30 seconds long and features actor Lou Gossett Jr. The two ads were both made in-house. City Councillor At-Large Felix Arroyo’s campaign focuses on GOTV and Arroyo’s family in their campaign ad. DORCHESTER REPORTER ON NECN: The Dorchester Reporter’s Bill Forry talks to Alison King of New England Cable News about what to expect on Preliminary Election Day. ... www.dotnews.com/2013/bosmayor-round-sept-18-2013Everett Theater Owner Calls on Conley to Remove Her Theatre from Misleading Campaign Mailer09/17/20130 Today, Pat Tierney, owner of the Everett Theater in Hyde Park is calling on District Attorney Dan Conley to cease using her theatre in a misleading campaign mailer: "For 8 years Dan Conley represented Hyde Park on the City Council and he never showed any interest in the Everett Theater. Last year, we took the first step in revitalizing the Everett Theater when we unveiled the vintage lighted sign that Dan Conley shows in his mailer. Dan Conley did not have anything to do with getting the funding for that sign, but Rob Consalvo and Mayor Menino did. It's hard to believe Dan would 'take the lead' to restore my theater as mayor, as his campaign literature says, when, for all his time on the council and his many years as a Hyde Park resident before he moved to West Roxbury, he showed no interest in the revitalization of the Everett Theatre. "Dan Conley has never asked or received permission to use my theatre in his publications. I would like him to stop using my theater as a prop for his misleading campaign pitch. As everyone knows, this has been a lifelong passion of mine" says, Tierney. The campaign mailer entitled "Dan Conley's 5-Point Plan for Hyde Park Can Make a Great Neighborhood Even Better," features a picture of the Everett Theater's restored sign. His mailer reads: "3. Raise the Curtain on the Riverside and Everett Square Theaters: The Riverside Theater is an underutilized treasure and the Everett Square Theater an unrealized gem. As Mayor, I'll take the lead and build the public-private partnerships needed to restore these theaters and use them as 'anchors' to bring art installations, outdoor markets, performances and other events to Cleary and Logan Squares." www.everettsquaretheatre.com/blog.html
