Un aspecto fundamental de Sin Lugar para Débiles es su apego a la novela original respecto a la suerte y el destino. Bardem le da vida a un memorable villano (Chigurh) mientras que Tommy Lee Jones encarna perfectamente a un lacónico oficial de la ley que ha perdido el interés en impartir justicia en tiempos tan violentos (ubicados en junio de 1980). Con escenas realmente violentas y un ritmo semi-lento de suspenso, Sin Lugar para Débiles destaca por las excelentes actuaciones de los actores, que dan vida a personajes diametralmente opuestos y con motivaciones distintas.

Trash the Tux!
How fun that a guy in his tux would start wake-boarding! Thanks Kara for capturing such a fun image! Your Rock!
International Science + Engineering Fair
You aren't likely to find your standard potato battery project at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), a project of the Society for Science & the People. Nor will you see many forced volcano eruptions. You're more likely to notice the 1,200 students from across the world coming together to share projects like "FDIS: A Fast Frequency Distribution Based Interpolation Search Algorithm" and "Probing for Cancer with Smart shRNA."
In 2010, the ISEF will return to Silicon Valley, bringing talented young minds together for innovative discussions and projects in San Jose. We're very pleased to be sponsoring this gathering, which will attract promising young minds from more than 40 nations. Since we're committed to engaging talented minds, we will be delighted to give this global community of future scientists the chance to meet and compete. Prizes on offer include more than three million dollars in awards and scholarships, in addition to opportunities for internships and scientific field trips.
It's no surprise that this has been called the "Olympics of science fairs" -- we're excited to see what the next generation of scientists and engineers has to offer! And you may wonder why we're telling you about this now, since 2010 seems far off. Budding scientists who want to compete have a lot to do between now and then. Read more about the participation process.
Flasback to the 80s!
Dresses were big, flowers were beautiful long flowing layers of roses.
I think we've learned alot from our past, but first and foremost, I think we've all learned that marriage after all isn't about who can have a bigger wedding (literally or figuratively) it's about the marriage. The joining of two people lives forever and it doesn't matter what you wear, what your hair looks like (although it's fun to look back) it's about the love shared between two people and two very different lives, become one amazing life.
The Luck of the Irish!
Don't worry, I'll be blogging with tons of photographs - but the castle only has dial up internet access... I mean HELLO get with technology you old 600 year old amazing piece of architecture!
So I thought I'd just brag a bit about where I'll be in less than a month. And forewarn you that blogging may be intermittent and a bit off due to the time change.
We are flying into Dublin and staying there for one night, then driving across the country, take a peek at my map. If you've ever been and have some tips for me, leave a comment or email me and let me know where to go, what to see and where to shop!

Flashback to the 70s!
I apologize I can't give photo credit to either of these, but I have a few things to point out. Check out the big shoulders and long sleeves, and the length of that skirt. And his "tie" or ruffle, super cool, no?
I love that they are cutting the top layer in the below picture (the cake could have just tipped right over), my parents did the same thing - I wonder why? And the flowers in the brides hair (or are those pins) I think they are just the start of what's to come!
Tomorrow, look for the 80's! Big hair, big flowers, big dresses! And break-dancing at a wedding... things that make you go hmmmmm....Duelo de Asesinos
Duelo de Asesinos (Seraphim Falls, 2007) es una película dirigida por David Von Ancken y estelarizada por Pierce Brosnan, Liam Neeson y Anjelica Huston. La acción se ubica después del fin la Guerra Civil Americana. El ex-capitán unionista Gideon (Pierce Brosnan) es perseguido en las nevadas montañas Rocallosas por un grupo de hombres armados lidereados por el ex-coronel confederado Morsman Carver (Liam Neeson). Carver ha contratado al grupo de individuos (Ed Lauter, Tom Noonan, John Robinson, Michael Wincott) para capturar a Gideon, cuyos soldados mataron involuntariamente a la esposa y al hijo menor del coronel al quemar la casa de Carver a finales de la guerra. Durante la persecución en las montañas Gideon resulta herido pero logra huir (con grandes dificultades) al ser arrastrado por un río. La ruta de escape de Gideon lo llevará desde las cumbres cubiertas de nieve hasta las praderas al pie de las montañas, seguido siempre de cerca por Carver y sus mercenarios. En su camino se encontrarán con deshonestos empleados de la construcción del ferrocarril, bandoleros fugitivos de la ley y hasta un piel roja que cuida el agua de un estanque en una zona árida. Gideon, en base a astucia, logra ir eliminando paulatinamente a los ayudantes de Carver, por lo que ambos se encontrarán frente a frente, exhaustos y sedientos, en medio del desierto. Cabe la pena señalar que previo al duelo final se aparece una misteriosa mujer llamada Louise C. Fair ¿o Lucifer? (Anjelica Huston) quien vende medicinas milagrosas y le proporciona a ambos hombres lo necesario para enfrentarse a muerte (el mal haciendo "su parte").

I wish this was around when we got married!!!
Hippy Love- the 60s!
The gown on the left was a Couture design from Calvin Klein - so beautiful! I think my mother has a photograph very similar to this on a staircase with the dress billowing behind her. Just a timeless pose.
In the next image, I just love the bobby socks with the flat Mary Jane shoes, so adorable, with the knee length bridesmaids dresses. And the dainty ribbon in their hair - is too cute! I do love the lace trim on the brides gown at the hem-line of her ballroom gown.
This next image, is the start of a tradition that spanned several decades, the HUGE veil, this reminds me of my veiling in the early 90s - BIG! Her ballroom dress was BIG, her headpiece was large in the front and hung low on her head. Her bouquet was on the larger size. You can see that the 60s was the start of the 80s - if that makes any sense.
I simply love this image! I love how the bridesmaids all have veils! And the groomsmen are wearing very large carnations, and the bridesmaids have the frilly tops, this is another trend that was welcomed into the 80s. (I think you can tell that the groom just wants the photographs to be done with so that he can get home and start consummating this marriage!)
