Family and friends,
Two years ago I entered the MTC with excitement and wonder. Ready and prepared to feel the spirit so strong and to learn a lot about Jesus Christ's Gospel. With the addition of American Sign Language, I have ventured into a new world. Made friends and gained respect for those whom we don't fully understand.
Flying to the Mission field, I became thankful that we don't ride horses because of the distance I would have to travel to visit the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and invite them to come closer to Christ. I have received many responsibilities while providing service for the Deaf, including District Leader and Elder's Quorum 1st Counselor. I have gained many skills and talents, including interpreting and I have become more social and more easy to approach people. I have learned a ton about the Gospel.
I have read through the Book of Mormon front to back and have gained more understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and of his role as Savior and Redeemer. I have come to love His Atonement and have changed because of it. I have grown to appreciate the pains and tribulations that Joseph Smith has gone through to help restored Christ's church on the Earth again, through proper Priesthood keys and authority, as well as restored truths and doctrines such as Baptism and Temple ordinances.
I have learned to rely on the spirit when in doubt, or fear, or uncertainty. I have gained many experiences on my Mission that I hold dear to my heart. I know that Heavenly Father is our loving Father in Heaven. He watches us every day, listens to our prayers and encourages us to follow His Son, Jesus Christ, who set the perfect example for us as he walked on this Earth many years ago to setup His church and authority. I know that he died for our sins and was resurrected so that we can live with God again someday. I know that Joseph Smith was the first Prophet to help restored His church on the Earth, and through the Book of Mormon we can read about Jesus Christ and come to appreciate Him better.
All of this I know, because I have read the Book of Mormon, and prayed about it. That is why I served for two years, away from home and family. That is why I cannot watch TV, go to movies, date girls or listen to worldly music. That is why I cannot do these things for two years, so I can focus all of my time and energy on preaching His Gospel.
I thank you for following me as I have served my Mission. I hope you have come to learn something from my emails and will continue to stay in contact with me as I go throughout life, college, marriage, family, and so forth.
May God bless all of you with whatever you need!
Sincerely, with love,

Interior Green Water Conservation
Interior Water Conservation, Saving Water, Green Building, Green Builders, Energy-Efficient Homes, Green Houses It is important to hire a green builder who is experienced in energy-efficient building for your climate zone. Although much of this website applies to all areas, some applies to the climate zone of North Texas or Central Texas such as Tyler or Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas.
Interior Water Conservation in Green Building
Saving Water in a Green Home
| Conservation is the use of water-saving methods to reduce the amount of water needed for homes, lawns, and other human uses which ultimately increases water supplies for optimum long-term economic and social benefits.
A green home, wherever it is built, always conserves water.
Or maybe just turning the water off when not in use–such as when brushing teeth or washing dishes?

I remember when I was in seminary, one of my professors said that when we pray, "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" that we were praying for the second coming of Christ. This view, though extreme, is believed to a strong degree in the churches today. In the last post, I attempted to explain that whatever the kingdom is the kingdom is at hand. By at hand, Jesus meant "within reach". The kingdom has drawn near to you, reach out and grab it through repentance and faith.
So the view of the kingdom as the return of Christ is a total misreading of what Jesus meant by the term the kingdom and it is at exactly this point that the church has gotten the gospel fundamentally wrong. The gospel promises the kingdom to the believers and we are to repent and press into the kingdom. This is in fact the meaning of the term "Christ". When we say Jesus is the Christ, we are proclaiming or believing that Jesus is the one who can bring to earth the kingdom of God and that that kingdom life is available immediately.
Faith in Jesus as the Christ
We are saved through faith that Jesus is the Gospel. The Gospel is simply this, "JESUS IS THE CHRIST". If we believe this gospel, we are saved. But if we do not know what the term Christ means or what it is the Christ brings to us how can we believe God for it. If we do not understand what we are saying when we say Jesus is the Christ, we do not have saving faith. We have no idea what the Gospel actually is? It is on this point that so many people who claim to believe that Jesus is the Christ appear to remain unchanged.
To believe that Jesus is the Christ is to believe that Jesus is the one who can bring you the kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. This is saving faith in Jesus as the Christ. God has appointed one king, one leader, one Christ to bring to mankind the kingdom of God. This one king is Jesus, the Christ. It is through His blood that he has redeemed us, qualified us for the life of the kingdom and it is by this atonement that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to life and experience this kingdom today. So faith is faith that Jesus is the Christ and the Christ is the one who brings to His subject the Kingdom of God. So what is the Kingdom?
The Kingdom
The kingdom is defined clearly in scripture, "The kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit". Do you believe that Jesus can bring you a life of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit? Many people who claim to believe Jesus is the Christ do not believe that He can bring them righteousness. These people believe that Jesus can bring them righteousness when they go to heaven or at His return but they do not believe in a righteousness that is available today. They do not believe that the kingdom is available on earth as it is in heaven. This faith is faith in a righteousness in heaven or on earth in the age to come. But Jesus promises a righteousness immediately present in the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ brings to us a life, a kingdom life, of righteousness now through the Holy Spirit.
This is not a positional righteousness. This is not a righteousness in heaven but not on earth. If you believe this faith for a later righteousness, then you do not believe the totality of the blessings of the Gospel. The Gospel promises righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit in this life on earth as it is in heaven. Repent and believe.
This righteousness is not a perfect ed righteousness for certainly there is a fullness to come and a final battle to be won but the kingdom life of victory is available today through the work of the holy spirit and to believe in this immediately present kingdom quality of life is to believe in the Gospel.

Hello Ma Peeps,
It has been rough being me over the last few months and I had no desire to share my pain online. Even now I'm not sure I can tell the story and I know I can't tell it without tears pouring down my face. Frankly, I'm tired of crying. Suffice it to say that my heart was ripped out of my chest and stomped on and I'm not recovered. I have however made a fresh start.
I am living in a cozy, sweet apartment three miles away from my wonderful, gorgeous son. I am working for a cool, dynamic company that takes very good care of their employees and I have such a solid collection of friends that complaining about my lot in life would be ludicrous.
I crochet and read and watch tv as much as I want. I have work that challenges me. I see my son as much as his busy teenager schedule will allow. I watch every minute of every NASCAR race. My paychecks are back where they belong. Life is good.

Here is some more information about RAD. One of the guys who was volunteering said that RAD isn't so rad after all and it should be named something more appropriate like "Sucks". I thought that was highly appropriate. Enjoy reading this:
As a fairly new diagnosis to the DSM-IV manual, Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), sometimes known as Attachment Disorder (AD), is frequently misunderstood, and is misdiagnosed as Bipolar Disorder or Attention Deficit Disorder as often as 70% of the time.
Today, perhaps more so than at any point in history, kids are apt to be separated, ignored, or neglected by their birth parents, shuttled between multiple foster parents and day care workers, or traumatized by physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. Even while physically present, some mothers are yet incapable of providing adequate care and attention for their children.
RAD kids have learned that the world is unsafe, and that the adults around them can't be trusted to meet their needs. They have developed a protective shell around their emotions, isolating themselves from dependency on adult caregivers. Rather than depending on their parents or other adults to protect them, the protective shell becomes the child's only means of coping with the world.
Dependent only upon themselves for protection, they come to see anyone who is trying to remove this protective barrier as a threat, not to their emotional well being, but to their very lives. They turn on those who seek to help them the most.
People require attachments with others in order to develop psychologically and emotionally. Attachment is the bond that normally develops between a mother and her child during the first few years of a child's life. The quality of this bond affects the relationships that a person will have for the rest of his life.
Attachment develops in the early years of life when a mother responds to her baby's cries by meeting its needs, appropriately feeding, consoling, soothing, and comforting, as well as keeping the infant safe from abuse and harm.
Fundamental to RAD kids is that they haven't bonded and are unable to trust. They have learned that the adults in their lives are untrustworthy. Trust hasn't worked for them. Without trust, there cannot be love, and without love they are emotionally underdeveloped. Instead of love, rage has developed within them.
In the first few years of life, at a time even before they have learned to speak, they have learned that the world is a scary place, and that they cannot rely on anyone else to get them through it.
Normal parenting doesn't work with RAD kids. Neither does traditional therapy, since these therapies are dependent upon the child's ability to form relationships that require trust, something that is at the root of the problem. Sticker charts and behavioral programs don't work because the RAD child doesn't care what you think about his behavior. Natural consequences work better than lectures or charts. Structure is a necessity, but only when combined with nurturing.
While these kids can be healed, they have to want it, and the prognosis is not good. Without healing, these kids grow up unable to form healthy relationships with other human beings. Too often, these kids develop into sociopaths devoid of conscience or concern for anyone other themselves.

ROAD improvements are due to take place at the junction of Roe Lane and Norwood Avenue From Monday.
Works will restore the surface after years of damage, with the project part of Sefton Council's Highway Maintenance Programme.
The work is expected to last up to three weeks.
During this time, Norwood Avenue will be closed to all through traffic at the junction with Roe Lane, and will divert traffic along High Park Place, Old Park Lane and Bispham Road.
A spokesman for Sefton Council said: "These are essential works to bring this well used junction back to the best possible condition.
"Inevitably, there will be some disruption during the scheme and we would urge people to take an alternative route if at all possible."
Footway improvements are also due to start on Preston New Road on Monday for up to three months.
This may cause some disruptions for short periods, concerning parking alongside working areas, but contractors will contact any affected residents beforehand.

But bored of the humdrum routine, and keen to make his kids proud, he bravely jacked it in to go pro as a stand-up. His open heart story of marriage breakdown, depression and daytime boozing gets overly heavy, but natural warmth and nice guy patter bring it back from the brink.

Wizcraft, organisers of Hollywood actor Tom Cruise's India visit, has denied claims that fans had been hired for the star's recent visit.
The organisers told the BBC that they were "not aware of this" and that the "information is incorrect."
There were reports of 200 people being hired to cheer the star at the Mumbai airport on Saturday. According to media reports, "fans" were paid £2.5 to £5 ($3.87 to $7.73) to welcome the star who was at the airport for less than ten minutes.
A few of the "fans" were not sure who they were welcoming, despite carrying placards reading, "We love Tom Cruise," "Tom - chak de India," and "Tom Cruises," the BBC has quoted from a report in the Times of India newspaper.
"We're not certain, but 300 rupees for an hour outside the airport is not bad," the paper quoted one of the "hired fans" as saying.
However, a Wizcraft spokeswoman has denied the claims and told the Wall St Journal's India Real Time that the story was "sensationalist." "We are not aware of any such arrangement," she added.
Cruise was on a two-day visit to India for a special screening of his latest film "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" ahead of its global release. The screening on Sunday was attended by several Bollywood stars including Anil Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan, Aamir Khan and Farhan Akhtar.
Cruise also visited Taj Mahal, the monument of love, on Saturday. The movie directed by Brad Bird will be released in India on December 16.

Our Fridays at the farm usually include mowing the yard and I usually get to ride the John Deere rider mower around the expanse, around all the little trees I dare not run over.... Today I got to drive the tractor to mow the outlying fields and it was a similar deal on a much larger, much more powerful scale. It's a bit intimidating, but welcome experience to switch that out for a comfort level. While persistently alert to everything in your radius, there is also some thinking time sitting up there --and some trying to sing over the engine.
Tonight I had a date. Dinner and a card game with a mother/daughter combo that have loved and laughed through life --sparking that fire to those in their presence, making all warm and bright. They have each taken great care of so many so selflessly--and have taken care of each other--and they continue to.
They are my Aunt and my Grandma. They laugh and crack jokes endlessly. They feed you full and then some --and the food is so good you want to stop but almost can't. They take life and themselves lightly and they are soo strong.
And that's so important, because things are getting harder, memories of a mind are fading, and it's scary and sad.
But the heart is there, that is holding it's own--and the laughter is inescapable. Though I wish we never had to grow older, or that health never slipped away--this situation is as happy as a sad one can be--and I'm grateful for that. To my Aunt, a pure and simple saint, and my Grandma, the type of person who is incapable of sweating the small stuff, and knows that so much stuff is so soooo small, it's tiny--and she'd rather have a big laugh.
They are great women, wonderful teachers and a joy to be with.

"I live in Swellendam in the Western Cape, but after having moved from Queenstown 6 years ago,I am still a loyal ISAT client. My internet / wi-fi stopped working on Tuesday afternoon. I contacted your support system in PE and Brendon Jafta was on the support/ help line. The service I received from Brendon was exceptional to say the least. He reported back to me that Telkom in Swellendam worked on the line and that is the reason I was offline. He has contacted me numerous times to try and resolve the matter. My internet after a lot of trouble is back on!!!! We are always quick to criticize but slow to give credit. Well done to you and people like Brendon with excellent service delivery. Keep up the good work. "
"To all at iSat, a wonderful year ahead. Thank you for always being sooooo very helpful when I phone with a query. "
" On Sunday, my Isat e mail would not work, I contacted Isat and was informed that there was a problem. When eventually this came right 2 days later I could no longer e mail using my mobile data (8ta with my Isat e mail address.) I spent most of the day on the phone with Isat and telkom trying to resolve this issue. Out of sheer frustration I came to the Isat office with my iPad. One of your employees Brendon , persisted with my iPad until he resolved the problem . It took a while but it was worth the wait. Not only was he able to resolve the problem that no one else was able to, he was also most courteous. Please extend my gratitude to him for resolving my problem. I am most appreciative of his skill and manner that he approached the problem. "
"My friends ask me why I don't use my Google email. Well, I cant just phone Google in PE, or send them an email and the job is done in a couple of minutes. THIS IS KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF SERVICE. Thank you so much! "
"That was fantastic service Highly thankful to you and your team for such efficient service."
"Once again a MILLION thank you's for the kind assistance received this morning!! Nobody likes a "problem" but visiting you guys for a solution is actually something to enjoy and look forward to!! Great stuff and thank you. Kind regards to you and the lads please. ."
" I am thrilled with the quality of the service AND the line speed! You have saved my life and I am looking forward to a long and productive relationship with ISAT. (If this is the quality of your line speed then I need to talk to you about moving my hosting to you as well.)"
"Thanks for your email and again, thank you for your knowledgeable help in sorting out my email problems. You showed me parts of the program I was completely unaware of.
At 12;30 last night I thought of you going off shift. I was glad to be in my bed and relaxed and wondered how you manage to turn your clock around so that day becomes night. I'm lucky to be as old as I am!
The laptop and the desktop seem to be working well so I hope I will not need to bother you again. Who knows, maybe our paths could cross again: it would be interesting to meet."
"I just wanted to pop a quick mail to thank you very much for your superb customer service. It is not often that I feel the need to single out someone for their high service standards. It is not that I receive bad service, but good service is an expectation of every client of every organisation. Exceptional service, however, must be noted and you have shown me that exceptional service.
From my first call earlier this week, you did not give up on my small complaint and continued to seek a solution for me and my issue is resolved today because of you and your dedication. WELL DONE and THANK-YOU! I hope your superiors see this and give you the praise that is due. "
"Thanks so much for the kind and knowledgeable way in which you assisted me with the installation of my new router today. I am totally clueless where computers are concerned, but you took the time to patiently explain everything, and you did not make fun of me even once. I really appreciated that. The new router seems to be working perfectly, and I'm feeling quite proud for my part in it, but I know that it is really due to you. Again, thank you so much for your patience and helpfulness. "
"Thank you for your excellent service, it is really appreciated. Happy new year. "
"I think that it is marvellous how quickly iSAT Support can identify a problem and repair it."
"Thanx for prompt reply! You guys are numero uno!!"
"Tx for excellent turnaround time in response."
"Thank you so much for all your help and patience with a 75yr old! Got it all sorted with Elizabeth Botha's help - iSAT's support is really amazing - thank you again!"
"Just a note to thank Elizabeth so very much for her patience and assistance in getting my emails up and running on Sunday. She's a star and because of her help, I'm now able to send this email. In fact, I have to compliment everyone at Isat. On the occasions I've had to phone with a query (and there have been a few!!), my issues have been dealt with in a friendly and respectful manner. The service is excellent. Thanks so much."
Baie dankie vir uitmuntende diens gelewer en ook vir baie geduld aan die dag gele. Jou vriendelike en professionele hulp en bystand word opreg waardeer."
"Hiermee wil ek onder u aandag bring na Elizabeth! Sy ken haar werk en is n GROOT aanwins vir julle firma. Sy is vreindelik en baie behulpsaam , geduldig ken IT. Dankie vir jou diens"
"We would just like to thank Isat and in particular Calvin for the excellent service we received this afternoon when we experienced some problems with our system. Being in the Service industry ourselves, we really appreciate it when any service provider is prepared to go the extra mile. Thanks again and have a lovely day further."
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Scott SO VERY MUCH for his understanding, patience and kindness in helping me sort my ''what I call frozen screen on the 'e' mail'' I was ready to throw in the towel and the computer into the rubbish bin. He was a great help. Thank you."
"I just wish to commend Scott and his patience. I am completely technically challenged and Scott has talked me through a 'gruelling' upgrade. Gruelling for him as I hardly understand any technical jargon and gruelling for me as I could see myself waiting days for my computer to be in working order again. As you can see all is now well in the household.Thanks!"
"I had problems over the week-end with my internet connection. I called isat and got through to one of your technicians called Darren. This young man helped me in the most patient and helpful manner possible. He is a terrific help to us as older people. Well done Darren."
"Thank you for your friendliness and having patience with me. A BIG THANK YOU for helping with my Outlook Express. What seems like something small and easy for others to fix, is like climbing Table Mountain for me. Thank you once again. Have a wonderful day."
"I wish to commend Calvin on his patience and persistence with those of us who are technically challenged. Thank you Calvin for once again patiently going through the basic steps with me and getting me back on line this morning. I really appreciate it."
"Ek wil net kom baie dankie sê vir julle spannetjie wat my gehelp het met die rekening wat ek nie kon oop maak nie. "
"I hereby wish to express my thanks for the excellent service provided to me today by Calvin, in moving my mailbox to my new Macbook. His service was friendly, quick and helped me with what I needed to do."
"I would just like to say that my internet is working again and would like to thank you for all your help and friendly service you guys are the best thank you once again."
"Hiermee wil ek jou opreg bedank vir jou geduld, hulp en vriendelikheid vanoggend toe ek jul call centre gebel het. Ek weet nie wat ek nog 'n dag sonder internet op kantoor sou doen nie! Jy het my vanoggend gered van 'n gewisse hartaanval. Nogmaals baie dankie!!!!"
"I would just like to commend you guys on doing a rather swell job of promptly and successfully troubleshooting and repairing my connection problems yesterday. My email was responded to in a very timely manner by a gentleman I believe to be named Scott Warren. Please thank him for his service and general etiquette in customer relations."
"Thank you for your support, patience and kindness while helping me with my internet. "
"Baie dankie vir jou vinnige optrede. Ek is bly dat ons dit so maklik kon uitsorteer. Ek deel al 'n hele paar jaar met Isat en is baie tevrede met julle diens."
"I would like to thank SCOTT for the AMAZING, FRIENDLY, and PROFFESSIONAL help he gave me on the Telephone. It is people like him, that makes me satisfied about iSAT's Support Department! Thanks again!"
"Ons wil net Darren bedank vir al sy hulp!Hy was baie vriendelik en baie geduldig en behulpsaam!Ons het was gisteraand by Isat gewees met ons probleem en dit kon nie uitgesorteer word nie en hy het ons gehelp vanoggend.Ons waardeer dit baie!Dankie vir jou hulp!"
"I would like you to know that your customer support is always very good and this afternoon Calvin was a great help to me explaining why had reached my capping and offered solutions to my problem. He did this very clearly and impatiently to someone who is not at all clued-up on all the in's and out's of ADSL. His assistance was invaluable. Thanks for the excellent service you provide!"
"A big thank you for your patience and most appreciated assistance. The manner in which you guided me through all the red tape was truly amazing."
"I would just like to say a BIG thank you to three of your best employees there at iSAT support, I recently came to visit my mom here in South Africa from the United States of America.
For the last few days we had problems connecting to the internet so we gave a call to your support department, I spoke to two support guys and a Manager namely Yves, Faidan and Lux.
Would like to thank Ives for the great patients he had with me to get everything sorted and to Lux for his sales pitch and explanation of the different products while i was on hold while Ives tested my mom ADSL connection.
I spoke to Fayden to tell him that support my keep up with the good work and that my mom really appreciate the extra mile that iSAT support goes to help their customers.
Thanks once again and from me and my mom, Have Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. "
"I've been their client for just over a month and my only regret is that I didn't change over long ago. They are definitely in the top echelon of service providers."
"Dankie vir jou vriendelike en flink diens. dit is voorwaar aangenaam om met jou te deel.Jou hulp word wardeer, Groete."
"Two weeks ago I ordered an ADSL line through iSAT. They phoned me the next day to confirm my details and e-mailed me regularly throughout the process to keep me informed on the progress of my order.
Today I noticed my line was slow. It was already long after office hours so I sent iSAT an e-mail, expecting them to respond tomorrow. Five minutes later they phoned me and after ten minutes my ADSL line speed had been increased to a little less than its original speed.
Then they phoned me again to explain to let me know that they'd logged a fault with Telkom to restore the line to its full speed.
I am absolutely amazed at the fantastic experience of being an iSAT customer."
"I have just changed over to an ADSL Internet connection, and as a total technoidiot, I would like to commend your employees for the efficient, kind, patient and cheerful way they guided me through the process. They made this potentially (for me!) stressful project practically painless, and I really appreciate it." "Once again needed to phone your support centre for assistance. And once again a wonderful, friendly and helpful young gentleman assisted me. They always have such patience with my inabilities to do or understand. Keep up this wonderful service! We need it in SA to give us hope."
"Just to say a big thanks for all your and the Isat teams great service, patience and help with my account change-over. I received setup assistance at 21:40 last night! Please compliment the technical guys.Thanks again"
"Hi Andrew. I would just like to thank you for your excellent service, your patience, help and professionalism. When I first contacted you, I was not yet a customer but you took a lot of your time discussing technical problems with me and giving me advice. It is thanks to your excellent support that I have signed up with ISAT and will continue to use your services in the future and recommend ISAT to others."
"Dear Michelle. I wanted to let you know how extremely impressed and pleased I am with your service delivery in assisting me with the "migration" of my mailbox and website.
Not only were you friendly and helpful - but you were exceptionally efficient as well...
...it is people like you that makes clients come back again and again.
Thank you for your friendly and VERY efficient assistance - it was an absolute pleasure dealing with you, and I will most definitely insist on dealing with you for all future business."
"While I was losing hope of ever getting my web site alive Christopher was there to help and sort the problem out, please pass on my thanks."
"I wish to compliment one of your employees on his exellent service helping me to connect to the Interner. His name is Thaabit and it was a pleasure dealing with sufficiency. I trust that my Internet Problems are something of the past.
- Thanks again."
"Thanks so much, that is perfect and thanks again to the Isat Team for a wonderful service provided to us over all the years we have been with you. Hopefully we will receive the same good service in Australia !!"
"I would just like to take the time to commend your support department with their excellent service!! I am not even a customer of ISAT but deal with many of your clients who only have good things to say about you!
Earlier today I could not connect and out of frustration for my ISP decided to phone ISAT.
I was greeted very kindly by André who was unbelieveably sharp and accurate! He sorted out in 5 minutes what numerous phone calls to my ISP could not! With such highly trained staff it is to no surprise to me that the service is so great!
After Andre sorted out my problem I asked him to put me through to his manager so I could commend ISAT. I was pleasantly surprised when I was put through immediatly without any silly excuses and was met with the kind and heartfelt voice of Fuzludien. He was so helpfull and friendly and is easily the the most comfortable manager to talk to!
I hope you go from strength to strenght and keep up the good work!
Well done ISAT!!"
"To all the ISAT team -
Thank you for all the great work you have done in 2007 and the wonderful support you have given us in this time. We know that 2008 is going to be your best yet. All the best for the New year and hope you have a good one!!"
"The iSAT team -
Firstly your services supersede all my expectations. You are doing a great job. Not to mention the growth over the passed years. You remind me about my Father, always willing to listen and give advice.
"Just a quick note to thank Calvin for great assistance this evening in setting up my 3G internet – great service and lots of patience"
"At last – a quote where I don't feel like I have to sell all my assets just to have a website!!!"
"Dear Janél, thanks so much for your immediate support and help. Problem solved within a few clicks."
"I would like to thank you most sincerely for all the time you gave me while trying to set-up my ADSL Line. It was REALLY appreciated and I am now on-line"
"Baie dankie Michael, ek het reggekom. Dankie vir julle uitstekende diens. Ek sal nog biae mense na julle verwys."
"With your combination of service and products, you must be the cheapest ISP in SA! Thank you iSAT"
"Not only great connectivity, but also incredible human interface. iSAT is a family. Thanks for everything. Real people in a sometimes-not-so-pleasant world."
"Thanks Jonathan, appreciated. Please forward this email to your management - this is what service excellence is all about! I work for a large financial house with 1200 IT people and I can only hope in 100 years to get service like this. My appreciation."
"Ek wil graag net van hierdie geleentheid gebruik maak om dankie te sê vir die uitmuntende diens wat ons tot dusvêr gekry het . Ons het rêgtig gemoedsrus om by so 'n professionele "Service Provider" diens te kan ontvang."
"Thanx for a speedy response, I am very impressed with your Customer service. Your efficiency is a credit to company. I will be recommending you to all."
"Dankie dat julle altyd so behulpsaam is en spoedige antwoorde het."
"Dankie vir julle goeie diens, en dat ons altyd op julle kan staatmaak."
"Thank you for excellent service at all times. Its wonderful to be back at iSAT!"
"I'm just sending you and the rest of the staff this message to say that you guys/girls should give yourselves a pat on the back! Great Service! Keep it up!"
"Thanks for your prompt and detailed response, as well as pointers to possible solutions. This is how I have come to value you guys!"
"Thank you for prompt feedback, I give you ten out of ten for customer service"
"Dankie vir goeie diens!"
"Baie dankie vir jou behulpsaamheid. Dit word opreg waardeer."
"As far as I'm concerned iSAT help is always at the end of my telephone or email line."
"Hi Rory, this is just a thank you message to you and the staff at iSAT, you guys are really doing a great job and the level of assistance is really outstanding, unlike some other service providers I know (no names mentioned)."
"Baie dankie vir die goeie diens wat ek die afgelope jaar by julle kry. Dit was vir my wonderlik om te sien hou gou julle my probleme opgelos het."
"Thanks for your snappy reply and all the help so far. We are very impressed with you guys with the fast help and service. We would like to bring our own business to iSAT as well!"
"Many thanks for all your support in sorting out our email problem. I have had confirmation from BG that he has received my e-mail. Your support and determination to sort out the problem was absolutely "first class" To achieve a positive outcome in such a short time was exceptional!! Here in the U.K. we would be lucky if the problem was ever solved! Thank you once again for all your hard work in solving the problem."
"Your service provider was absolutely brilliant. They really persevered to sort out the problem. I must have had about 15 e-mails advising and guiding me through the problem. The end result was, we had put a dot in the wrong place for sending messages through our service provider. Please send them an e-mail thanking them for their excellent service."
"Baie dankie vir julle hulp. My man kan gratis deur sy maatskappy van 'n ander ISP gebruik maak, maar ek sal nooit vir iSAT los nie, want julle diens is uitstekend!"
"What a star you are! Thanks for all your (& iSAT's) help. It's just this sort of attitude that all goes to make SA a great place for visitors/tourists. Many thanks."
"It is your customers, especially elderly ones, who thank iSAT for their support during the year. The courtesy, understanding, diplomacy and tact with which trivial matters are attended to is exemplary and is deeply appreciated. May all @ iSAT have a great time whilst switched off over the christmas and new year holiday period."
"I would like compliment the technical staff at ISAT for their excellent service.
On Sunday evening 3 June I contacted the support centre with a hardware problem relating to a new PC that I was assembling. I was aware that the request does not relate to normal ISAT business, but I was desperate. I had previously contacted a dimension data technician and a NMMU specialist, both could not resolve my problem. The ISAT technician came up with a possible solution which worked brilliantly.
A big thank you to ISAT. "
"I just want to commend all of you as a team on your great service. We have always had only the best! Thank you for your loyalty to us as customers.."
I am 73 years old and not quite that computer literate so I really appreciated Andrew's patience and assistance, and give him a special word of thanks."
"Hi Lindi. Ek wil darem net vir jou sê dat jy met al jou kennis 'n regte vreugte in my lewe gebring het. Die breëband is net eenvoudig fantasties.
Was dit nie vir jou en al jou moeite en vriendelike manier hoe jy my benader het nie, sou ek seker ook nie die moed gehad het om dit aan te skaf nie, want wat ek van daardie tiepe ding geweet het, was min. Isat kan regtig trots wees net om iemand wat so lojaal en so vriendelik teenoor haar werk, by hulle te hê. Jy is 'n wenner!
Geniet jou Kersfees en ek hoop dit is vir jou net so 'n vreugde soos breëband vir my is."
"I wish to compliment one of your employees on his exellent service helping me to connect to the Internet. His name is Thaabit and it was a pleasure dealing with sufficiency. I trust that my Internet Problems are something of the past. Thanks again."
"Test page received, thank you. You guys are great your respond time is great. Keep up the good work.!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Ek wil net baie dankie se vir puik diens wat ons van julle kry, veral vir Ryno van Loggerenberg wat ons onmiddelik kon help en dadelik gereageer het op ons e-pos.
Dis puik diens en ons waardeer dit."
"A million thanks for the G-Mail info - a great help.
Thank you,also, for your very prompt reply to my query!"
"Test page received, thank you. You guys are great your respond time is great. Keep up the good work."
"I would like to congratulate you on having a staff member like Faiden.
On Sunday the 12th Oct he patiently went out of his way to help me with a problem, which is a Telkom problem.
Congrats once again."
"I want to thank Calvin, Fadin and Christopher as well as all the other ISP operators that have helped me time and time again with all the "blupsies" I have made over the past. I have received excellent help... with some very confusing problems I seem to be able to create between my internet, router and email programs!... Really, I could not ask for a better team to be there for me when I have no-one else to turn to. They are patient, long-suffering and always polite. Thank you for selecting such dedicated staff...
From a very satisfied and happy customer."
"I would just like to take the opportunity to thank you for your prompt, friendly and helpful customer service. A Big Thank YOU to Leroy that assisted me this afternoon for his patience and friendly manner. Great Customer Service is hard to find, keep it up it is greatly appreciated."
"I wish all the staff, and, management at isat, a very merry Christmas, and, a prosperous, and, exciting 2008. I would also like to thank you all for the excellent sewrvice I received over the last two years, and, I look forward to a continued association with all of you in the future. Kind regards
- P.S., this 3G card is awsome."
"It's so nice to be able to deal with such helpful people, who don't mind going through the motions slowly and patiently with me!"
"Thanks Guys. I can't tell you how impressed I am with your service. I am a person who believes that a good thing shows grow. I am going to help you! Regards"
"Aan een en almal wat altyd baie vriendelik hierdie omie met raad en hulp bystaan BAIE DANKIE ISAT!!!!!!! Dankie ook dat julle so laat in die aand my tot diens kan wees."
"So pleased with your service levels, guys. I was so pleasantly surprised when I emailed your office for a query. Your response was not just quick, almost immediate"
"A huge compliment to your staff for the speedy reply with getting us connected to the Internet. Thank you for the prompt and professional service."
"Thank you to you and your team for your assistance when we were marooned on an mailless island."
"I would like to say that we've used other servers before iSAT and this is the first time that we are completely satisfied with the service provided. The registration was prompt; the monthly fee is not exorbitant; I've never had an engaged tone when I logged on and we appreciate the virus warnings you send us."
"To all you dedicated and helpful folk at iSAT, the compliments of the season and the best of health in the coming year. You all deserve an extended holiday!"
"My personal dialup has been with iSAT now for the past 4 years. And as always in the past your service has exceeded all expectations. Whenever I can I always refer people to iSAT. Your service levels cannot be praised enough. Keep it up and thanks for everything"
"You are the best thing that happened to my working life and my network of relationships for a long time. I battled agonisingly for months with my previous service provider. I think I rang you for the first time at 11am today. By 1.30 I was a registered iSAT person and up and running sending my first emails. And, better still receiving three friendly messages from you with the bonsela of one month's free subscription and the prospect of maybe winning a competition. I didn't realise how good being connected (through the right people) could be!"
"Thank you again for excellent service. I am writing about my experiences in South Africa, but only in Norwegian, and your company will be highly recommended, so within some months you will have more difficult customers like me!"
"I have tried many providers and YOU TOP IT ALL, thank you for all your support and keep up the good work."
"When you are away for a period and then pick up your emails and there are a whole stack of them you are struck by the number of virus-infected messages that have been blocked by your service provider. That is what I want to say thank you for- you and your team are making computer life very mush easier for your subscribers."
"We are a retired couple and I have a hearing problem and cannot keep in touch with my children or grandchildren, except by email. This is a wonderful thing for us as we have family far and near. I can only say that your service to us as email customers is all that we could wish for and would not want to change. We wish you well in all your efforts to give good service."
"Personally I do not have complaints. I must be one of your happiest clients, I have never experienced any problem with your service ever since I started using iSAT. I am actually referring people to you for efficient and friendly service from your company. If there is any benchmark to be used on service providers I would definitely recommend you for your professionalism and again your efficiency and client service."
"I have completed the survey in connection with the service of iSAT and report as follows: I'm very pleased with the service of iSAT and have full confidence in your staff. There were a few problems in the past but they solved them immediately. I think they are most professional and helpful and it is a pleasure to do business with iSAT and your people and I hope in the future as well. Thanks."
"Thank you very much for the follow up - just part of iSAT top service. The problems were solved and I am very happy with the service I am receiving. Perhaps you can clear up something for me? Do I require Norton Antivirus? You seem to intercept all viruses that are sent to me. Many thanks."
"Just a great big thanks for all the viruses you have caught and killed for me!!!!!! Without your "safety net" my PC would have been wiped out by now - I have antivirus software, but viruses are getting more and more vicious!! Thanks for excellent service."
"Please be advised that I am going on retirement and will be closing my account with you guys as from the 21/12/2007. Thank you for your wonderful support over the years trusting that you will grow from strength to strength."
"Many thanks for the help, Garth. So few people to-day try to help each other - I certainly am very pleasantly surprised. God bless you in a very special way to-day and in the future"
"Thank you Mr Walsh, As always ISAT didn't disappoint me with their service. In a world where service delivery sometimes takes a backseat, i am glad im with a service provider like ISAT that delivers as promised."
"Hi Garth. Thanks so much for your help this morning. You are a star."
"I would like to take this opportunity to offer praise to your Support Department. I experienced lack of connection this morning (Sunday 1st June) and upon reaching Faidan, was talked through the process to achieve internet connection once again. He was very helpful and within no time I was back on line.
I have only been with ISAT since mid-May, with only one initial set-up problem prior to this morning's hiccup which was also solved very quickly by your team.
Well done and thank you for the excellent service so far."
"I must express my greatest satisfaction and pleasure at your prompt, positive reply to my email that overcame the problem I had. I am so glad that I am a client of ISAT as service of this nature is hard to find. If the Boks win tomorrow then my whole week has been amazing."
"This just to appreciate your quick response on our application for internet connection. We contact you Wednesday afternoon,receive registration forms Thursday morning and have service Friday morning. Special thanks for Elizabeth Botha for her support.Job well done!!"
"Thanks Elizabeth for your help. Always impressed with the efficiency of iSAT."
"I would just like to mail a brief thank you, to your amazing Elizabeth, who spend well over 45 minutes with me last pm, while I rebooted my router and reset all my setting. She was amazing, friendly and soo patient. Not once did she appear annoyed, and as i work with little children each day, I am really not that good on a computer, but she laughed with me, and spoke me through every step (and many steps, over and over and over) I can honestly say, I have had other sessions via telephone with various consultants, and Elizabeth was the best. I cannot fault her, and would like to thank her for all her help, and for the manner in which she conducted this TEDIOUS task. She is an asset to your team, and if she had been near me, I would have Kissed her I was so happy to have everything up and running again, after 5 days, and no help from Telkom.
Many thanx again to Elizabeth. She was the bomb! "
"Well Done to Nosiphe for solving my urgent problem.
I was assisted as soon as I arrived at ISAT and the problem solved with a smile."
"Thanks so much for the SPEEDY response!
Much appreciated.
Wonderful to work with such competent people!"
"I received excellent service from Johan, which included sorting out the problems that might have caused our internet being capped so quickly.!"

OK, this has been an adventure. I asked about making simple removable panel cabinet doors a while back. These are simple shaker or mission style doors. NO coves, or ogees or any of that. Basically, they're table saw doors, ok?
Rails and stiles get a 1/4" groove, 3/8" deep from one end to the other. Rails get tongues to fit into said groove.
To make a removable panel door… or a door that can take a glass panel,,, you simply remove a strip of wood so that the groove becomes a rabbet. Easy, right? Not so fast there, buckaroo. You can remove it from the rails easy enough (on the table saw), but if you remove it entirely from the stiles, then there's nothing for the tongue of the rail to fit into. So if your rails are 2-1/2" wide, you need to leave 2-1/2" of groove on each end of the stiles.
I figured I'd just run them on the router table and clean up the corners.
Anyways… what I'm doing now is clamping a straight edge to a stile, scoring it several times and as deep as I can with a utility knife, then putting it in my vise and cuting the strip out with my chisels. Chop down the ends, then run the score mark a few times before splitting it out and then paring it down with a chisel. Takes about 15 minutes per stile.

I'm on my way to a job interview, and the closer I get, the blacker the sky becomes. The wind velocity picks up, shrieking around my car and jostling it back and forth like a child looking for a Cracker Jack prize. Lightning strikes, just missing my right front fender.
Then again, I could just be projecting.
It is, in fact, a beautiful day out.
But the dark cloud follows me into . . . the job interview.
To avoid lawsuits, I will simply refer to the business as "medical."
So, in I trudge. God, I hate job interviews—they are a nightmare come true and I always expect to see Freddy Krueger peeking out from behind a doorway, grinning and flexing his finger knives at me.
I meet the HR person. He is short, stinks of cheap cologne, and looks exactly like Alfred E. Neuman, right down to the missing front tooth. He has a piece of egg on his tie. He shakes my hand with two of his own, making laser-like eye contact, then says, "What a beautiful blouse that is," followed by a blinding smile.
Oh, God. A Dale Carnegie graduate. This is really going to be a sleigh ride through hell. Beware the compliment—it is almost always followed by something negative, unless, as an opening gambit, it is an attempt at warmth.
I sit down, and he pulls his chair out from behind his desk to sit next to me—can't have a desk in the way—this is negative.
"So, Carson, tell me about yourself, Carson." They love to overuse your name, thinking that it makes them appear sincerely interested, when, in reality, they don't give a crap.
I detest this sort of open-ended question. "What do you want to know?"
"Carson, what's your favorite color?"
"I beg your pardon?"
"What's your favorite color, Carson? Let's start with that."
"Uh, okay. Green."
His face darkens around his eye contact. "Green, Carson?"
"Yes." I had given my first incorrect answer, evidently.
Another blinding smile, as he remembered his training. "How interesting, Carson! All right, Carson, let's move on. Carson, do you have any hobbies?"
That did it. I didn't want to work there anymore. "Yes, I have many hobbies, but my favorite is collecting shrunken heads and growing carnivorous plants . . . large carnivorous plants."
"How interesting, Carson." That blinding smile was beginning to fray around the edges. "So you're a gardener and are interested in other cultures, Carson. Carson, that's just great. Oh, and I meant to tell you, Carson, those shoes are really nice."
Compliments are given even when the negativity is internalized.
"Thank you. I made them myself from the skin of a Harp Seal that I personally clubbed to death. Did you know that carnivorous plants are just crazy about seal meat?"
Looking a little green himself, probably dizzy from all the spinning he was doing, he said, "So you're interested in nature and the great outdoors, Carson! Fine!" Blinding, quivering smile. "Carson, what would you say your greatest strength is, Carson?"
"I can lift 50 pounds."
"And your greatest weakness, Carson?"
"I can't lift 51 pounds."
"Hmmmm. Carson, I really like your skirt—nice color. I think you may, perhaps, Carson, be misinterpreting some questions, here, Carson Carson Carson. What do you think, Carson?" Eye contact.
I returned eye contact and sat in stony silence.
He became uneasy after a moment or two of that, and finally asked the big question:
"Carson, O Carson, Carson, Carson, Carson, why do you want to work here, Carson, Carson?"
I paused for a moment, then said, "You know, that's a really nice jacket you're wearing…"

Both of their coaches say their standout volleyball players are leaders.
One just happens to play at Cal State Northridge and the other is at the University of Washington.
Both of their coaches rave about their athletes' intelligence on the court.
One is an offensive tone-setter who will enter her senior year at Northridge, while the other is a defensive force who'll be a redshirt sophomore and started every game as a freshman.
Both of their coaches say the expectations are high for not only their stars, but for their respective teams.
Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy graduates Sam and Jenna Orlandini say they're ready to meet those expectations.
They have been excelling at what they've been asked to do ever since they donned a volleyball jersey, whether it was at Flintridge Sacred Heart or at their respective universities.

April 30 — Lobbying on national ozone standards increased by 184 percent from a year ago, following the Environmental Protection Agency's proposal to revise the standards, with 88 groups and companies reporting lobbying on the issue during the first three months of 2015, according to public records.
Officials with several organizations told Bloomberg BNA that the existence of a concrete proposal from the EPA and the looming Oct. 1 deadline for the agency to finalize its decision on the ozone standards have fueled the increase in lobbying activity.
Supporters and opponents of more stringent national ambient air quality standards for ozone said lobbying is part of a larger effort on ozone, which includes various public awareness campaigns and discussions with the EPA and the White House.
The EPA in November 2014 proposed (RIN 2060-AP38) to revise the current standards issued in 2008 of 75 parts per billion to somewhere in the range of 65 ppb to 70 ppb, a development that the agency estimated could cost up to $16.6 billion annually. The proposal would revise both the health-based primary standard and the welfare-based secondary standard to somewhere in that range.
Ross Eisenberg, vice president of energy and resources policy at the National Association of Manufacturers, told Bloomberg BNA April 30 that the EPA's proposal motivated member companies across all sectors, including energy, agriculture and construction, to get involved on ozone.
That is unique for environmental regulations, which typically only affect specific sectors, he said. "This one really hits everybody," Eisenberg said.
When asked about the increase in industry lobbying activity on ozone, Eisenberg cited two main factors: "timing and the fact there is a proposal that frankly we don't like."
The 88 distinct filings that mention ozone represent a 33 percent increase from the 66 groups that reported lobbying on the issue in the fourth quarter of 2014 and a 184 percent increase from the 31 groups that lobbied on ozone in the first quarter of 2014.
Bloomberg BNA conducted its review of the Senate Office of Public Records lobbying disclosure database using the search term "ozone." The first-quarter filing deadline for 2015 was April 20.
Some of the groups that reported lobbying on ozone in 2015 that did not in 2014 include American Electric Power, the American Wood Council and the state of Indiana, which filed comments on the ozone proposal urging the EPA to retain the current standards.
Advocacy on the ozone standards isn't new for the wood products industry, but the American Wood Council waited for the EPA to issue its proposal before beginning its lobbying of Congress, Sarah Dodge-Palmer, vice president of government affairs at the council, said.
Dodge-Palmer told Bloomberg BNA the group has been "very active" in advocacy efforts toward the EPA and is in the midst of a new effort to inform Congress of how a more stringent standard could affect various states differently.
Those efforts include distributing maps to the EPA and members of Congress showing the location of wood products, pulp and paper facilities and whether those areas would be in nonattainment of a more stringent ozone standard based on 2011-2013 monitoring.
A nonattainment designation triggers additional pollution control requirements and more stringent permitting requirements under the EPA's new source review program, which applies to new and modified power plants, manufacturing facilities and other industrial facilities.
Melissa McHenry, a spokeswoman for American Electric Power, told Bloomberg BNA that the company started lobbying on ozone in 2015 because there is "an actual proposal now to talk about and express views on."
While various industries are working together against a more stringent ozone standard, many public health and environmental groups that support a revised standard also reported lobbying activity. Those organizations include the American Lung Association (ALA), the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association.
Lyndsay Moseley, director of the ALA's Healthy Air Campaign, told Bloomberg BNA there is increasing interest in ozone pollution by the health and medical community because of strong evidence that a more protective standard is needed.
"The science is so clear," Moseley said. "We cannot emphasize enough the health impacts of breathing unhealthy levels of ozone."
Moseley said the public health groups, which would like to see ozone standards no higher than 60 ppb, are reinforcing the strengths of the science and reminding members of Congress of the requirements of the Clean Air Act, which requires the EPA to set the primary, health-based ozone standard at a level that is requisite to protect public health with an adequate margin of safety.
Many of the groups that reported lobbying on ozone identified a pair of bills that would block the EPA from finalizing revised standards in 2015.
One of those bills, the Clean Air, Strong Economies (CASE) Act (S. 751, H.R. 1388), would bar the EPA from setting more stringent standards until 85 percent of the areas currently designated as being in nonattainment with the 2008 ozone standards of 75 ppb demonstrate compliance.
That legislation was introduced in the Senate by Sens. John Thune (R-S.D.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and in the House by Reps. Pete Olson (R-Texas) and Bob Latta (R-Ohio).
The other bill (S. 640), introduced by Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), would block the EPA from finalizing revised ozone standards until Feb. 1, 2018.
Eisenberg said that while industry trade associations are working together for a regulatory solution to their concerns with the EPA's proposal, they also are supportive of legislative fixes that would block the revised standards.
He specifically highlighted provisions of the CASE Act that would require the EPA to consider feasibility and cost when deciding where to set the ozone standards, two things that the EPA currently is barred from considering under the Clean Air Act.
Eisenberg also said Flake's bill, the Ozone Regulatory Delay and Extension of Assessment Length (ORDEAL) Act , had good ideas about extending the current five-year review cycle for national air quality standards.
"Ultimately, we're at a point now where we'll take anything," Eisenberg said.
While many industry groups reported lobbying on those bills, the Sierra Club and the American Lung Association both reported lobbying against both ozone bills.
Terry McGuire, Washington representative for the Sierra Club, told Bloomberg BNA in an April 30 e-mail that the group has focused its efforts on highlighting the overwhelming public support for strong clean air protections.
"We will continue to draw out the distinctions between those elected officials that are fighting to protect their constituents from deadly air pollution and those that are content to do the bidding of big corporate polluters," McGuire said.
Representatives on both sides of the debate said lobbying and public outreach efforts would continue leading up to the Oct. 1 deadline for finalizing the new standards.
McGuire said the Sierra Club and other environmental and public health groups will continue to implement "strong media and field strategies" to remind the EPA and the White House of the science that supports a stronger standard.
He noted that the groups helped generate more than 500,000 public comments in support of the strongest possible standards and said the groups will continue their grass-roots efforts.
The Sierra Club in April launched a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of the need for a stronger ozone standard. That campaign will continue through October and will include online and print advertisements, as well as collaborations with local officials and community organizations.
The Sierra Club also issued a series of baseball-themed profiles of various members of Congress identifying supporters and opponents of clean air, action on climate change and clean energy.
Eisenberg said the National Association of Manufacturers is in the middle of a multimillion dollar advocacy campaign including lobbying, media and grass-roots efforts. Ozone is one of the highest priority issues for the manufacturing sector, which is planning a "consistent drum beat" from now until the Oct. 1 deadline, he said.
"We're pulling out all the stops," Eisenberg said.

Another weekly food truck event will kick off this Sunday at the Great Park in Irvine.
The OC Great Park Farmers Market debuts from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Halloween, Oct. 31. It will feature six food trucks including one from Cypress-based Baja Fresh.
Yep, that's what I said. Baja Fresh. I'm trying to get more details, as this is the first I've heard of Baja Fresh operating a restaurant on wheels.
Is it a real roaming truck, or just a special event catering truck? Have you spotted it? Write and let me know.
Anyway, the rest of the lineup for Sunday includes Barcelona on the Go, Calbi (which is owned by Baja Fresh), Crepes Bonaparte, Flying Pig Truck and Piaggio on Wheels.
Event organizers say the food trucks will rotate on a weekly basis. Admission and parking are free to the public.
The Great Park food truck gathering is among several popping up in Orange County. For months, the Downtown Anaheim Farmers Market has hosted at least one or two trucks a week (every Thursday). The OC Fair also hosts a truck event on Thursday afternoons.
Directions: To get to the Farmers Market, enter the Great Park (in Irvine) through Marine Way from Sand Canyon Avenue and follow the signs to the Farm & Food Lab. Weekly food truck updates can be found @mobilefoodprops.
