He also composed for the inner man. Those that had some inkling of spiritual self evolution and esotericism. The inner maintains more integrity and is distorted less because the symbols used are designed to bypass the mechanical intellect and words alone, and fall much deeper into the inner man.

I gotcha now. In other words, Jesus was a double-babbler.

I do not program much anymore due to failing eyesight, but I did get involved previously with some handicappers who wanted their angles tested. But in order to accomplish that, a database with results is required. Did you get that far?

This is really ironic. I've grown a bit tired of the ponies. (And my last encounter with them at the last Saratoga meet was something else again. I don't think I'll forget that experience as long as I live.)

My programmer never finished the last necessary program, so no, we didn't set up a database because we need for this program to be finished, which he has tried to assure me over the holiday season that he would do this year.

But whether he does or doesn't, my priorities have shifted. So, it's doubtful I'll ever get back in the game in a big way -- or maybe in any way. I truly do have a sense that God wants me to spend more of my time pursuing spiritual-biblical pursuits.

If I remember correctly, much of your approach was dependent on human judgement. I have worked with many who have preferred that direction over a purely mechanical one. I don't necessarily disagree although others and myself also like a hands off mechanical approach---other than the initial programming and then tweaking. IMHO, you can combine both. If you haven't already, speak to your programmer about an input area in your program, before selections are transferred to your database where the user can indicate his selection based on judgement. Feedback on how one does is quite useful and after a few weeks of recording picks, a view into ones record linked to distances, types of races, odds,, etc., can be very handy both as a check on the programs picks and the users.

For what its worth, more people claim to see Jesus Christ, or at least reference HIM, while watching a race they have wagered on more frequently than during any other activity per capita. Go with the Lord to the paddock and useth thath wisdometh to profit the prophet.

Could that mean perhaps he wants you to broaden your horizons some?

I hope it's not SATIN speaking to you.

That's an inevitable good result when one digs into the word. So, yes, that is very cool!

I tested the spirits. All is good.

And "satin" is very nice material, by the way. What do you have against it?

If God wanted you to dig into the Word, you would not be told to dig into this thread. Evidenrtly he does want you to broaden your horizons, thinking outside your self limiting PROVERBIAL BOX

Could Adam have been Chinese? Or are these researchers "wong."

LEIPZIG, Germany, Jan. 22 (UPI) --
Researchers say ancient DNA suggests humans living 40,000 years in China were likely related to many present-day Asians and American Indians.



Scientists sequencing nuclear and mitochondrial DNA extracted from the leg of an early modern human from Tianyuan Cave near Beijing say the Tianyuan human shared a common origin with the ancestors of many present-day Asians and indigenous American peoples, a release from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, said Tuesday.



Humans with morphology similar to present-day humans appear in the fossil record across Eurasia between 40,000 and 50,000 years ago, but the genetic relationships between these early modern humans and present-day human populations had not yet been established, researchers said.
