Running in Circles for Helga & a Recipe to Aid a Moving Benedition





I started running in 2000. I'd put on my ratty sweats, roughly scrape my hair into a pony tail, check to see that mom was comfortable and then I'd walk the half block down 26th street to North Fillmore, cross the street and then I'd start what had become a moving prayer.

I ran a 1/4 mile loop over and over, a loose circle lined with childhood memories: That's where the Carreys lived until 7th grade, and the Rattigans were nestled down that side street until sometime in 4th grade and the Wrenns had always faced directly onto the main drag across from Woodmont elementary. All these neighbors, they used to bear witness to my mother running this same circuit every day. On a slow day, she'd average five miles. That's 20 laps. On a training day, she'd edge towards 20 miles.

My sad sack hamstrings screamed after one measly mile. But I bullied on, one sloppy footfall after another, my jagged rhythm playing metronome to my silent benediction, "please. please. please. please."

Please, stop her suffering. Please, show her mercy. Please, give her comfort. Please.

Less than nine years before I started my pathetic 4 lap devotional, my mother was running marathons. How was it that she was now dying of cancer?

And because I'd asked "Why?" every day for the five years she'd suffered without so much as a cosmic courtesy reply, on her last days I ran in her honor and in her footsteps to plead for the end of her suffering.

She's been gone for close to eleven years and I still ask please. Please stop the suffering. Please show some mercy. Please give us comfort. Please, enough with the cancer already.

Since I haven't gotten so much as an automatic "out of office" email response to my non-denominational ecumenical badgering, I've decided to stop asking, to stop pleading and to simply start running. To honor Helga. To honor all the wonderful souls who have suffered from cancer. I'm running what I think of as Helga's race, The Marine Marathon, to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Donate here if you can.

Please and thank you! Gesine Bullock Prado

Sandra Bullock e Tom Hanks são sondados para novo drama / Sandra Bullock Being Wooed for Movie – with Tom Hanks

Sandra Bullock e Tom Hanks, ambos vencedores do Oscar, estão sendo sondados para estrelar um drama que tem como pano de fundo os ataques de 11 de Setembro. De acordo com o site Deadline Hollywood, os atores são nomes fortes para interpretar papéis protagonistas no roteiro adaptado do livro de Jonathan Safran Foer, sobre uma criança de 9 anos de idade, cujo pai morreu nos ataques terroristas.

O diretor Stephen Daldry (O Leitor e Billy Elliot) estaria trabalhando na história já há cinco anos. A Warner Bros. e a Paramount seriam as possíveis co-produtoras do filme.

No livro de Foer, a criança em questão acha uma chave que seu pai teria deixado e vai procurar exatamente que porta essa chave abre.

In what would be her first movie project since winning the Best Actress Oscar for The Blind Side, Sandra Bullock could be starring opposite Tom Hanks in the drama Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close – if two studios have their way, reports Variety.

Offers have gone out to the actors from Warner Bros. and Paramount, which would jointly release the movie, to be produced by Scott Rudin, says the trade paper.

Lined up to direct is Stephen Daldry, whose The Reader won a Best Actress Oscar for Kate Winslet. The script, by Oscar winner Eric Roth (Forrest Gump), is based on the 2005 Jonathan Safran Foer novel about a 9-year-old, Oskar Schell, who's lost his father in the 9/11 attacks.

The boy searches all over Manhattan for a lock to match the key he's found in a vase that belonged to his dad.

Double Oscar winner Hanks, most recently heard as the voice of Woody the cowboy in this summer's Disney-Pixar smash Toy Story 3, will next be seen opposite his Charlie Wilson's War costar, Julia Roberts, in Larry Crowne – which Hanks also directed and produced.

Bryan Cranston, Cedric the Entertainer, Nia Vardalos and Wilmer Valderrama also costar in the comedy-drama, which is to be released next year

Sandra Bullock on Jesse James: 'We Have Both Moved On'

Sandra Bullock is offering words of welcome as her ex-husband Jesse James prepares to move to her adopted hometown in Texas.

"I support Jesse in his move to Austin," the Oscar winner, 46, tells PEOPLE exclusively in this week's cover story. "We have both moved on with our lives and only want the best for each other. Anything else that is said on my behalf is inaccurate."

For Bullock, moving on includes finalizing her adoption of 8-month-old son Louis on Aug. 13 surrounded by friends and her sister Gesine in a New Orleans courtroom. "She is so in love with her child," says a source.


As for motorcycle CEO James, 41 – who recently stepped out in Las Vegas with LA Ink star Kat Von D. – he too is starting to move on in the wake of the cheating scandal that led to his June divorce from Bullock, according to a James source.

"I think he's starting to grasp reality a bit more," says the source, "and the realization that it's going to take a lot longer and a lot more than he thought to bring things back to what they were."

Sandra Bullock passeia em New Orleans com a irmã Gesine

Sandra Bullock fez uma tentativa de evitar o assédio dos fotógrafos nesta segunda-feira (16) para se divertir como uma pessoa comum. De acordo com o site "Faded Youth", a atriz usou boné e óculos escuros para passear por Nova Orleans na tentativa de passar incólume.

Acompanhada de amigos, a estrela visitou uma série de antiquários e depois parou para almoçar. O filho, Louis, não a acompanhou no passeio.

Mesmo tendo dado entrada nos papeis do divórcio, Bullock teria sido fotografada ao lado do ex no começo do mês pela primeira vez desde o fim da união. De acordo com a "Us Weekly", Sandra e James estão se reaproximando. O motociclista estaria inclusive se mudando para o Texas, em um local próximo a casa da ex-mulher.

Sandra Bullock diz que mulher fotografada ao lado de Jesse James não é ela

Depois de vários jornais especularem sobre uma possível reconciliação com entre Jesse James e Sandra Bullock, a atriz negou que a mulher fotografada ao lado de seu ex-marido fosse ela.

A confusão teria acontecido porque a imagem mostra uma moça de costas para as câmeras e ao lado de James. Assim, sem mostrar a cara da tal mulher, jornais teriam suposto que ela seria Sandra.

Os representantes da atriz fizeram questão de esclarecer que estrela não se encontrou com o ex-marido e que, no dia em que a foto foi feita, estava em Los Angeles cuidando dos preparativos para sua participação no Teen Choice Awards.

Sandra Bullock e Jesse James não são vistos juntos desde março deste ano, quando a atriz descobriu as traições do marido. O casal se divorciou oficialmente em junho.
