I never get to hang out with my friends!?
My mom used to let me hang out with my friends all the time. Like when I was 12 and 11 and 10. She’d let me go to the movies, spend the night and do all that jazz with them. Now, nothing. I can’t get my mom to budge. We have been out of school for 7 days do to an ice storm we had. I asked if I could go hang out with my friend who she KNOWS is a good person and she is even friends with her mom. She said NO. I then asked a couple of days later if I could go to the movies with some of my friends NO. The next day I asked if I could go to the movies Do you have any money?! (Does she expect a 14 year old girl who gets no allowance to have money in her pocket all of the time?) So we don’t have school again tomorrow so I asked if I could spend the night with that same girl I mentioned before. She said no! She lets my brother and sister (who are older and can drive) go anywhere they want at any time they want! My sister left the house around 6 and didn’t get back till like 3 am and she was okay with it! With me it’s like i’m the slave staying at home and cleaning everything. Please help. I just really really reallllyyy want a teenage life.

But when Joe Mondragon illegally diverts water to irrigate his bean field, the local people support him because of their resentment of water use laws that favor the rich like Devine.

The Milagro Beanfield War?
What is this movie about?
ah, thanx I was only 14 when it came out, so I vaguely remember it, but I think I did watch it… sounds quite familiar…

---

I really enjoyed this movie. It was the first movie I ever bought on VHS. It is about a small town and it’s people sticking up for what they think is best for themselves. I think Robert Redford produced the movie. It is a good story and the characters (actors) are excellent. I haven’t seen it in a while. Maybe I’ll dust it off this weekend. Thanks for jogging my memory.

Human Nature (2001) IMDB rating: 6.20 Plot: A philosophical burlesque, Human Nature follows the ups and downs of an obsessive scientist, a female naturalist, and the man they discover, born and raised in the wild. As scientist Nathan (Robbins) trains the wild man, Puff (Ifans) in the ways of the world – starting with table manners – Nathan’s lover Lila (Arquette) fights to preserve the man’s simian past, which represents a freedom enviable to most. In the power struggle that ensues, an unusual love triangle emerges exposing the perversities of the human heart and the idiosyncrasies of the civilized mind. Human Nature is a comical examination of the trappings of desire in a world where both nature and culture are idealized.

Actors: Ifans Rhys,Robbins Tim,Magee Ken,Richardson Sy,Warshofsky David,DeSantis Stanley,Dinklage Peter,Huss Toby,Harwell Bobby,Anderson Daryl,Pyle Bobby,Bebak Chase MacKenzie,Comedy,

Scientific Community: Is this evidence for a creator?
I’m not saying it is, but I think it might be evidence for a creator: Information.

What is information? There are several definitions of information currently in use; however, each of these definitions are generally too broad. For example, one definition of information includes symbols with or without meaning, and another includes everything in its definition of information. Imagine sending a random symbols as smoke signals to your friend would Happy Birthday ever get sent to your mother on her birthday? In July 2006, a team of scientists representing various scientific disciplines met to evaluate a definition of information proposed by information scientist Dr. Werner Gitt, which is precise and corresponds very well to human languages and machine languages. The team proposed that this definition be called Universal Definition of Information (UDI) and agreed that there are four essential attributes that define it:

1.Code (syntax): Information within all communications systems contains a code. A code contains a set of symbols and rules for using letters, words, phrases, or symbols to represent something else. One reason for coding is to enable communication. Examples of codes would be the English Alphabet, words, and syntax; hieroglyphics; or codes used in computers (For example, C, Fortran, or Cobol).
2.Meaning (semantics): Meaning enables communication by representing real objects or concepts with specific symbols, words, or phrases. For example, the word chair is not the physical chair but represents it. Likewise, the name Bob is not the physical person but represents the real person. When words are associated with real objects or concepts, it gives the word meaning
3.Expected Action (pragmatics): Expected action conveys an implicit or explicit request or comment to perform a given task. For example, in the statement, Go to the grocery store and buy some chocolate chips, the expected action is that someone will go to the store. This does not mean the action will actually happen, but it is expected to happen.
4.Intended Purpose (apobetics): Intended purpose is the anticipated goal that can be achieved by the performance of the expected actions. For example, in the statement Go to the grocery store and buy some chocolate chips, the intended purpose might be to bake and eat chocolate chip cookies.

These four essential attributes specify the definition domain for information. A definition of information (Universal Definition of Information) was formulated by using these four attributes:

An encoded, symbolically represented message conveying
expected action and intended purpose.

Encoded Code
Symbolically represented message Meaning
Expected action Action
Intended purpose Purpose

Anything not containing all four attributes is not considered information by this Universal definition of Information (UDI).

Examples of entities that do contain Information (UDI):
The Bible
Newspaper
Hieroglyphics
Sheet Music
Mathematical formulas

Examples of entities that do not contain Information (UDI) (one of more of the attributes are missing).

A physical star: Lacks a code and lacks meaning because it does not represent something else; it is the physical object that the word star represents.

A physical snowflake: Lacks a code and lacks meaning because it does not represent something else; it is the physical object.

Random sequence of letters: Has a symbol set, but lacks rules for words or grammar (no code). Since it is random, it has no meaning to any sequence of letters

A physical piano: Lacks meaning because it does not represent something else; it is the physical object.

The lowest level of operational science begins with ideas originated and formulated by man. These include models, hypotheses, theories, assumptions, speculations, etc. This is the lowest level of scientific certainty because man’s understanding of reality is incomplete, faulty, and constantly changing. A very large gap exists between this level of science and the highest level. This highest level contains scientific laws.

Scientific laws are precise statements formulated from discoveries made through observations and experiments that have been repeatedly verified and never contradicted. There are scientific laws about matter (Newton’s law of gravity, laws of thermodynamics, laws of electricity, and laws of magnetism(. There is Pasteur’s law about life (law of biogenesis).

Each of these laws if universal with no known exceptions. Scientific evidence that supports or refutes a scientific concept determines its level of certainty.
The information team evaluated scientific laws about information formulated by Dr. Werner Gitt that determine that nature and origin of information [UDI].

where can I find summary for this ?!

Nope….and you really don’t get the second law at all. If you pump energy into a system it ends up more ordered. That’s how it works and what it says.

Just an FYI: most of Newton’s work has been replaced by General Relativity. If you want to try to sound intelligent you ought to at least be within fifty years of modern science.
Gazoo | Feb 07, 2010

All you’re saying is manmade codes have meaning to man. Yet you refute your own point by saying a snowflake is meaningless. If everything that hasn’t been made by man is meaningless, it refutes the idea of a creator.

Help with finding backup software?!?!?
I’m trying to find some sort of software that will monitor selected folders, so when I change something in them, i.e add a new file, the software will recognize this and copy the new file into the backup folder on my external HDD. Like a live file sync sort of thing.

I want this so I don’t have to copy over the whole folder every time I make a change to it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance!!

Toy Story in 3D or Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs for my 3 year old?
I want to take my 3 year old little girl to her first movie at the theater this weekend. I think she would like Toy Story more, but I’m concerned that she won’t want to keep the 3D glasses on. Which one would you recommend for a 3 year old? Toy Story in 3D or Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs? And why? Thanks!

---

Personally, I think a little one that age would prefer Toy Story! With or without the glasses, I think your little girl will enjoy it. After all, it was a really great movie before they made it 3D…

I hope you and your daughter enjoy her first movie!

Toy Story is my favorite movie of all time! My parents took me to watch toy story when i Was 3yrs old too and it has stayed my favorite movie and i remember every detail of that day! If you want your child to love a good nature movie like Toy Story and remember it forever, like me, I say Toy Story. HOPE I HELPED!

I took my kids to both (toy story and Cloudy with a chance of meatballs). My boys LOVE Toy Story. My 2 year old has all the little characters and sings the songs, but watching 2 movies in a row was hard. We hard to leave before the end of Toy Story 2 because they didn’t want to sit still anymore.

I’d would’ve preferred just going to Cloudy and skipping Toy Story, especially since the kids already have the DVDs at home. All the kids in the theater were restless during Toy Story2. We were the only ones that felt sorry for our kids.
