11/24/2023 0 Comments Cup pulls on cabinet doors![]() ![]() Each adds a particular character to your décor. Common options are chrome, brushed nickel, oiled bronze, brass, gold, black, and pewter. The choice of finish is equally personal. However, they can look very smart, particularly on a desk. Most cabinet pulls screw onto the surface of the door or drawer, but recessed models require that a hole to be cut in the surface with a chisel or router and hence are much more difficult to fit. These fall into the cabinet category, though they're very much a drawer fitting and not really suited to doors. Pendant and drop handles are hinged pulls that lift up for opening. Some people consider them too short for cabinet doors, but they do bring another interesting element to the mix. They can be used horizontally or vertically. T-bars are a short bar that fix with a single screw. ![]() As such, they have a less cluttered appearance. They're almost invariably mounted horizontally, which doesn't always work on some doors.Įdge or finger pulls are a sleek, modern L-shaped design that, as the name suggests, fits the edge of doors and cupboards. One advantage with this style is the range of sizes available – anywhere from about three inches long to over two feet.īin or cup handle pulls are the classic library or wooden file cabinet look, though they work equally well in some styles of kitchen and bathroom. ![]() They're commonly round or square in cross section, but there are a number of interesting extensions to the basic design that are worth looking at. While we say “traditional,” there's a huge choice, from contemporary square section to classic twists to “bird cage” styles.īar-type cabinet pulls in which the ends extend beyond the screw fixing points are perhaps the most popular. Traditional elongated loops, where the screws fit into the ends, are known as “arch” or “appliance” handles. However, there might be a few designs you haven't considered, so we’ve provided a brief run-through to help stimulate your creativity. Style is very much a matter of personal taste. You can make radical changes to all kinds of wardrobes and cupboards with a couple coats of chalk paint and a different set of pulls. Cabinet pulls aren't just for kitchen makeovers. ![]()

11/24/2023 0 Comments Hardware moca cable disconnected fios![]() Putting the router in the basement is a way to sell WiFi extenders. Probably needed to upgraded to MOCA grade coax for the main signal in, older coax MIGHT be sufficient bandwith for a single set-top box, but won't work for a main trunk. It could stay in the basement and connect to the MoCa as it was before Verizon. So you are saying there was no need to move the router from the basement to the garage and connect it to the ONT via ethernet cable. You really didn’t say how that MoCa adapter was being used in your basement, and why you only had one in your house. ![]() ![]() Easy to try!īut it seems to me you are going to need another MoCa adapter in your basement to grab the LAN signal from the coax. Internet on the coax cable doesn’t interfere with the other signaling on the cable.Īt least I think that’s the right way – lol. Then the MoCa adapter would be connected to a 1 x 2 splitter along with the coax from the ONT, and that combined signal would feed the new splitter the Verizon guy installed. So in other words, in your case I think you would have your router in the garage connected to the ONT via ethernet (as it is now) and also connected to the MoCa adapter. The coax out of the ONT is combined with the coax from the Actiontec router in the 1x2 splitter you see in the picture – and that splitter connects to the bigger splitter for the house. In this diagram you can see how the Actiontec router has a LAN coax connection built in, so a MoCa adapter isn’t needed, MoCa is built into that Actiontec router. I think you are going to have to combine the coax from your MoCa adapter, with the coax coming out of the ONT, and feed that into a 1x2 splitter that itself connects into the new splitter that provides coax to the house. Where do I put my MOCA adapter to bring internet to the basement? I tried putting the MOCA between the ONT coax and the splitter, but the MOCA coax light does not illuminate.Īdditionally, if I am finally able to bring Internet to the basement, will my HDHomerun coax input be affected (does that require a non-MOCA input?)Īny guidance would be very much appreciated. First question: Can the ONT ethernet AND coax be active at the same time? The splitter has the coax from the ONT going into it. He removed the multiple splitters I had and consolidated to a single splitter (See picture). ![]() The wireless works well, but I want MOCA to connected the server equipment. I moved the router from the basement to the garage and the FIOS tech connected the ONT ethernet to the router. I cannot figure out how to use MOCA with the FIOS setup. I keep all of my server equipment in the basement. The other coax split went to my HDHomerun. In my basement, I split the coax coming in, and connected one to an Actiontec MOCA adapter, which passed thru to the cable modem. In my garage, a single hot coax came in, and it was split to provide coax to multiple rooms in the house, including the basement. I kept the cable modem and router in the basement. I've read where others have connected other vendors non-mesh routers to the ONT's ethernet and connected the router, via ethernet, to a MOCA bridge, that the MOCA bridge injects the cable TV and STB guide, etc into the coax, and the coax-connected STBs work as if the Verizon router is used.Previously for 3 years I had Optimum Online. When I upgrade my speed, a Verizon tech told me that my cable TV and internet will comes from the ONT by ethernet and that I'll need a new ridiculously expensive Verizon router that provides the MOCA bridge to bridge both the cable TV and STB guide, etc. Bridges the ethernet/internet-based STB guide, etc.Ethernet/internet comes from the ONT to the router via coax and the router bridges ethernet/internet to router's ethernet ports and wifi.That is, the Actiontec router performs the following functions: ![]() The potential issue I have is that it is my understanding that the current setup has the STB guide, on demand streaming, and my recordings information being transmitted over ethernet and the video comes through the coax. Basically, I want to get rid of Verizon's router/MOCA bridge, so I have only one network router (the M5). I am not looking to bridge ethernet over existing coax in order to connect another PC or M5.

Since I now do all of my tie dyeing in our home, I only use the one-step dyes from Tulip since they already come in their own bottles and just require adding water. This was required because breathing in any of the powder could cause significant health issues. While measuring and mixing the dyes we ALWAYS wore a respirator mask and worked under a large range hood for optimal ventilation. Personally, I spent a lot of time in college using Procion MX dyes as a textile design student and while the dye creates some nice bright colors, there are some definite downsides. The dyes requiring soda ash need the items to be soaked in soda ash for 15 minutes prior to starting to tie dye. The one step dyes include soda ash in the dye, so it can be applied directly to the item in one step. Dyes That Require Soda Ash (such as Procion MX Dyes). ![]() One Step Dyes (such as Tulip One Step Tie Dyes).There are 2 types of fiber reactive dyes on the market these days: Fabric dyes like Rit, which are not fiber reactive, are best used for dyeing whole items or yards of fabric. They use cold water, set in the fabric (or cure) without the need for additional chemicals and produce bright popping colors. Tie dyeing works best with fiber reactive dyes. After completing the bleach tie dye process, the item is re-dyed using the same tie dye technique and dye to add color where it was removed.īefore we get into the list of typical supplies needed for tie dyeing, let’s discuss the types of dyes you can use and how to look for ideal items to tie dye. Reverse tie dye starts off with the bleach tie dye process of removing the dye/color from an already dyed item and creating a traditional tie dye pattern with the bleach. Traditional tie dye patterns are used with the item and dye is substituted with bleach. BLEACH Tie Dyeīleach tie dye uses bleach or other bleach-like products to remove the dye/color from an already dyed item, such as a black shirt. As the ice melts and the powdered dye liquefies, it drips onto the item to create unique dye patterns. The ice is added to the top of the item and finally the powdered dye is sprinkled on the ice. It is then placed on a grid over a tray or bucket. The item is tied up first with rubber bands or string in patterns similar to traditional tie dye. The ice dye technique uses powdered dye sprinkled on top of ice to dye the fabric item. The dye is added to the fabric item after the item is tied up with rubber bands or string. Traditional tie dye techniques use liquid dye to create the patterns. There are 4 common types of tie dyeing done today: traditional, ice, bleach, and reverse tie dye. Ready to explore the world of tie dye and start creating your own colorful designs? Let’s go! The blending of colors happens when the first dye didn’t fully saturate the fabric. This is why we always dye the weakest color (yellow) first, so we can control what shows up. ![]() ![]() Over dyeing is when fabric can only take so much dye and it’s like first come, first serve. We talked about the resist-dyeing already, but understanding how over dyeing works is important. Tie dye uses both resistance dyeing and over-dyeing. The process of tying the fabric up helps prevent the dye from reaching all of the fabric, thus creating a pattern.įor those of you interested in a bit of the science, or the how this works, here it is. More simply, fabric is tied in a particular pattern using rubber bands or string and then dye is applied to it. It is a resist-dyeing technique used on fabric to create bold color patterns. Let’s walk through the different types of tie dye that are common today, the supplies you’ll need, and the step-by-step basics of tie dyeing.īefore we get to all that though, let’s chat about what tie dye is.

Finally, the correlation coefficient will provide even more context as to which aspect is proven to lead to the most success. The regression line will then provide more context as to how many wins specifically each aspect’s success leads to. The graphs will highlight the association between each statistic and what success it led to in the 2018 season. Thus, we will be able to make a claim, backed by statistical evidence, as to which area of the game is most important to winning.įrom linear regression analysis, each aspect will be accompanied by a graph, regression line, and correlation coefficient. Through linear regression, we will be able to determine which aspect’s success leads to the most wins. We will determine this by comparing each NFL team’s 2018 regular season win total with the following four aspects of the game: offensive pass yards per game, offensive rush yards per game, defensive pass yards allowed per game, and defensive rush yards allowed per game. The goal of this article is to identify which aspect, if any, of the game appears to be most crucial to winning in football. This article will take a look at some statistics from last year’s season to draw some conclusions about what to expect this coming year.

Since then, nearly every style of cowboy boot you could ever imagine has been created and still remains popular, even with celebrities such as Jessica Simpson, who blessed us all with her version of “ These Boots Are Made for Walkin”.Įven former President, George W. This is where square toe cowboy boots for men come in, as they are much more comfortable for long days on your feet. In the 1940’s the style of the extremely pointed toe was manufactured, which – to cowboys – would have been useless, the only real difference – other than the way it looks, is they can be uncomfortable as a working boot. Hollywood made the traditional cowboy boots more stylish, with colorful designs, metal decorations and even used different skin from the classic cowhide leather including snakeskin, lizard skin, elephant, stingray & buffalo skin. However, the modern-day cowboy boots started once the cowboy era faded, and Hollywood took over and made them popular around the world. ![]() It was during this time that the cowboy boots also became slightly more fashionable with different patterns, decorative stitching and made from various materials. Finally, the shaft protected the ankle from rubbing on the stirrup leathers, as well as scrapes from thorns. The high tops of the boots prevent the boot from filling with water & mud, while the rounded toe made it easy to insert the foot into a stirrup and the slick sole that allowed the boot to slip free when dismounting. Many variations of the Wellington boot were manufactured for cowboys, the original design was perfect for the horse riding lifestyle. This brings us to the golden ages of the cowboy era, from 1866 to 1886. Once the war ended in 1865, the soldiers took their boots home, where their boots became necessary for every cowboy and farmers daily attire. The styles of boots were named Wellingtons, in his honour and are still known as that to this day.ĭuring the American Civil War, a sturdier version of Wellingtons were worn by soldiers. This meant the boots would be tough enough to wear for battle, whilst being comfortable for other occasions. “ Why are you telling me this” – you ask… well it’s because after Napoleons defeat, public attention was bought to Arthur’s boots, which were not the popular Hessian boots, but a custom made style, which fit more closely around the leg and stopped mid-calf. In 1815, Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington, defeated Napoleon at Waterloo. Whether you see these as military boots or early cowboy boots is just a matter of opinion. Initially used as standard issue footwear for the military, especially officers. ![]() Hessian boots were a German-made style of boots that became popular in the 18 th Century. Over the next few centuries, a similar style of footwear was seen around Europe, but it wasn’t until the 17 th and 18 th century that English riding boots brought leather, high tops and stacked heels back into popularity. They say he wore distinctive red leather boots with wooden heels. So, let’s start at the beginning… The earliest mentioning of the “leather boot” can be traced back to the 11 th century and the Genghis Khan’s invasion of Europe with his Mongol hordes. Cowboy boots were necessary footwear for cowboys back in the day, although nowadays they become a fashionable item.īut when did they first appear? And why did they become so popular?
