----- Original Message ----- From: dan Thompson To: dan Thompson Sent: Friday, August 16, 2013 8:16 AM Subject: Adaptive Information Systems, Dan's tip for August 16 2013 First I extend an invitation to anyone who wishes to share a tech tip to be shared with the group. Thanks for your patience with my sometime later in the day postings. Adaptive Information Systems I have inserted an asterisk before each major section of this article. The find and replace feature of a word processor can be used to jump between the three main sections. *I. HomePage of Adaptive Information Systems Inc. http://www.adaptiveinformation.org/ 1. There is one heading on the home page explain that the owner is very sick and the site is undergoing transition. The first heading explains the site owner is seriously sick and the site will be undergoing transition. From the site: "Adaptive Information Systems is currently undergoing transitional leadership due to the owner having life threatening medical issues. Hopefully business will eventually continue by the help of family members. Thank you everyone who has supported Adaptive Information Systems and for all the thoughts, prayers, and support for Roger Behm and his family during this difficult time." 2. Links on the HomePage include the following: a. For good original country music, the Country Club monthly newsletter and audio magazine, check out Ray Starr's World at www.cheeseheadhosting.us.

This Week's Verse and Inspiring Thought Walk In Love Ephesians 5:2: And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. (ESV) Thought: Walk in Love The love described here is agape love. Christ demonstrated how to walk in love by his supreme example. When he washed the disciples' feet, when he fed the hungry, when he healed the hurting, when he offered himself up on the cross, he taught us how to walk in love. We love one another with gifts of sacrifice. As we love like Jesus, we become a fragrant offering, pleasing to God. Prayer: Father Mother Head of all that exist, let me be wheat sown in the earth, to be harvested for you. I want to follow wherever you lead me. Give me fresh hope and joy in serving you all the days of my life and walk in love for others. In the name of Jesus, Amen..
