This is in fact how the Set Top Box is connected to the internet to get out-of-band info like the Channel Guide menu. For the past 10 years that I’ve had Fios, the ONT was talking to my G1100 router over the C4 band on the router’s WAN interface and it was also using the D1 band via the LAN interface. I didn’t realize until starting this project that you can have MoCA operating on multiple bands at the same time. When I connected them together, the MM1000 immediately established a link with the G1100, but it was on the MoCA LAN band of 1150MHz instead of the MoCA C4 Band used for the WAN interface on my router. When the MM1000 finally arrived, I was excited to test it out and see if I could get it to simulate the ONT’s WAN connection to the G1100. The MM1000 would effectively simulate the ONT’s MoCA interface in my original setup. My plan was to place the MM1000 in my garage by the ONT, and connect the Ethernet port to the ONT and the coax to the line going to my house. I settled on purchase the Motorola MM1000 MoCA 2.0 adapter for about $70 on Amazon. There are several popular MoCA adapters on the market that are sold in pairs, but like I said, I only wanted to buy a single MoCA adapter to place at the ONT between the Ethernet port of the ONT and coax line going into my house. Goal: Simulate the ONT’s WAN MoCA Interface But that would require purchasing two MoCA adapters, and that seemed like a waste of good money when my router already had a coax port that supported MoCA. The second easiest solution would be to buy two MoCA adapters and connect one of them to the ONT’s Ethernet port and the other one to my router’s WAN Ethernet port, with the coax line between the two MoCA adapters. Verizon wanted to sell me the Fios Network Extender and charge me monthly to rent the device, but I didn’t want an additional monthly charge on my bill, so I decided to buy my own device. The problem was that I couldn’t easily do this, because the ONT is on the far outside corner of my house, and there isn’t an easy way to run Ethernet from there to the network in my house. Now the easiest solution would be to simply switchover to the ethernet port at the ONT and connect this up to the rest of my house, which is partially wired for CAT6 Ethernet anyway. At any rate, my older ONT certainly couldn’t support the gigabit speeds of MoCA 2.0, because it’s just too old. I have some doubts about the actual throughput of the ONT, because the MoCA 1.0 standard, which was ratified in 2006, supports speeds of up to 135Mbps, and MoCA 1.1, which was released in 2007, supports up to 175Mbps. As explained by Verizon, this ONT only supports up to 100Mbps over the MoCA interface. The ONT at my house is an Alcatel I-211M-H and was installed at our house around 2010. I do have some parts of my house wired with CAT6, and so I connect my home’s CAT6 Ethernet network to the Ethernet LAN port of the Quantum Gateway. Inside the house, I had a splitter that connected from a coax port in my basement to both my G1100 FiOS Quantum Gateway, which I bought from Verizon, and the Verizon Set Top Box (STB). A coax line connects from the ONT to my home’s coax network. The Verizon Fios fiber line comes to the ONT mounted outside my house. Here’s how my house was setup before making any changes. If your house is already wired with a coax cable connection in each room, why not take advantage of it? While WiFi speeds are improving with each new release of the standard, they still lag wired solutions and probably always will. Many people are using MoCA these days as a way to overcome the limitations of WiFi and bring gigabit speeds to each room of their house without re-wiring their entire house with CAT6. So what’s MoCA? MoCA stands for Multimedia over Coax Alliance, and it’s simply an alternative physical layer implementation of Ethernet that goes over your coax line instead of something more familiar, like CAT6 cabling. BUT now that we had access to 200Mbps, I couldn’t not take advantage of that! And so began my investigations into MoCA. Ironically, even with five people in our house, and all using the internet concurrently for work or school during the COVID-19 lockdown, we didn’t have much complaints about our 100Mbps throughput limit. She said the only issue is that if we wanted to actually make use of the full 200Mbps, we’d have to switchover to using Ethernet at the ONT (Optical Network Terminal) instead of coax, because the ONT can only operate up to 100Mbps over coax. After several calls and hours on hold, my wife was able to get our bill knocked down about 10% and our internet speed doubled from 100Mbps to 200Mbps. This happened recently, and I asked my wife to give Verizon (our ISP) a call and threaten to switch to Comcast (competitor) if we couldn’t get a better deal. Every other year or so, our home internet and cable bill goes up and we have to call our ISP to renegotiate our terms.

SHOULD you buy a flashlight for self defense? Or shouldn’t you?Ĭarrying “weapons” of any kind can be risky. Therefore striking the attacker with the head of the light, is the ONLY form of defense available. The only positive to that situation, is most cheap lights have some form of a crenelated bezel. Lacking mode memory, “momentary on” and instant access, a cheap flashlight needs to physically be clicked ON first, THEN requires the user to CYCLE through THREE modes even before reaching strobe! In a surprise encounter, the victim has already BEEN attacked, even before switching the light on! With cheap flashlights it’s even worse! Those that sell for less than twenty dollars (online or as part of a “TV” offer) also have strobe, but do not offer “on demand” modes. Even if carrying a flashlight in your hand…being grabbed from behind would make it a challenge to activate (if it was already off). As is often dramatized on TV or in the movies, an attacker might approach a victim from behind. It’s not hard to imagine that the objective of most attackers, is to take their victim by surprise. I’ll discuss the issue with THAT, momentarily. Unfortunately, this may also mean you’ll need to BE attacked, in order to use it to full advantage. The closer you are to your target, the more effective it will have. The only caveat to using strobe as a deterrent, is distance. Turbo mode would certainly blind them, but the “strobing” effect is something NOBODY can tolerate, especially if it’s pointed at them. In terms of a flashlight for self defense, strobe is what you would namely use to blind, and/or potentially scare off a would-be attacker. But you can usually get to them if it’s already on, as well. In most cases, activating these modes work best when the flashlight is already off. In most cases, this will be the lowest mode (moonlight/ultra low), the highest mode (turbo) and the “emergency” mode (usually Strobe). Most flashlights, as long as they’re of “good” quality, will allow the user to select certain modes “on demand”. Instant access to the lowest, highest, (and possibly) Strobe mode.This can be useful, as “tapping” the tail of the light (IF it supports tactical use) will produce bursts of light usually in turbo mode Using it to strike a PERSON could worsen a scenario which otherwise could’ve been handled more efficiently by shining the light in their eyes. Or to gain emergency access through the closed window of a house. Smashing a car window in an emergency, is perhaps good use of a strike bezel. It will also differ from light to light, and will depend on the aggressiveness of the surface. I’ve never tried it, so I can’t attest to its effectiveness. The obvious use with this is to break glass. On some lights this is referred to as a “strike bezel”. So, this is when you look at the HEAD of a light, and the area circling the top of it, is rough, or chiseled out. In contrast, here’s a short list of flashlight features that CAN be used for self defense. Being waterproof is handy if you’re prone to standing near a body of water…when “dropsy” becomes a problem.Impact resistance is handy if you’re prone to dropping things.A low voltage warning is handy, so you can know in advance of the battery becoming depleted.USB charging is there to save money on batteries.Mode memory is there because it’s nice to sometimes activate the light on the last brightness level it was set to.The majority of “features” found on most flashlights have nothing to do with self defense but have everything to do with “convenience”. The bells and whistles included on many of them are about as high tech as any “everyday carry” device. In case you haven’t noticed, LED flashlights have become more like handheld electronics in recent years. Everyone knows flashlights are for….light….what else? A cell phone on the other hand is certainly used for a lot more than just making phone calls! But has anyone ever suggested buying a flashlight for self defense? Let’s talk about it and find out.

I was scared that the sequel wasn’t going to live up to the first book and that I would be disappointed. To me, Ari and Dante #1 is a near perfect book, and it’s also very clearly written as a standalone novel. I wasn’t just excited, though I was also a little apprehensive. So, you can imagine how excited I was to read its long awaited sequel: Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World. But when Ari is faced with a shocking loss, he’ll have to fight like never before to create a life that is truthfully, joyfully his own.Īs long time followers of this blog might now, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (2012) is one of my all-time favourite books. The boys are determined to forge a path for themselves in a world that doesn’t understand them. And, always, there is Dante – dreamy, witty Dante – who can get on Ari’s nerves and fill him with desire all at once. Suddenly he finds himself reaching out to new friends, standing up to bullies and making his voice heard. But something in him cracked open when he fell in love with Dante, and he can’t go back. He expected his senior year to be the same. Now they must discover what it means to stay in love and build a relationship in a world that seems to challenge their very existence.Īri has spent all of high school hiding who he really is, staying silent and invisible. I recommend it to anyone looking for a heart-warming book that can warm even the coldest hearts, to anyone looking for a cozy read with a lovely, inclusive queer representation.In Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, two boys fell in love. Having purity to it, it speaks of truths that are not only harsh, but identified in nearly every person’s life and it is a beautiful story of learning (and allowing) how to see yourself through the eyes of those who love you. Overall, this is one of the few books (although I say this way too many times) that had me saying “I love this” or “this is quote is wonderful” at every other page. This particular narrative is important as it promotes an idea that cannot be stressed enough: men and boys are vulnerable, emotional and they are allowed to express whatever they are feeling. While one character feels completely alienated from the masculinity norms society established and boys and men perform, the other one stands in contrast to this masculinity refusing the specific acts of dominance and violence. One specific theme that is approached through this juvenile prose and that stood out to me is toxic masculinity. The prose is quite simplistic, but it doesn’t fail to amaze and convey moments of sadness, love and hope that can take one’s breath away. Although they are the opposite of each other, there is some things that bring them together: loneliness and their “inner demons”. While Ari is confused and his world is shaped by uncertainty, anger and repressed feelings, Dante is exactly how Ari wants to be but cannot, he knows what he is looking for, does and wears exactly what he wants to do and wear. Although it might seem an easy-going, fast-paced story about the relationship between two boys, it’s much more than that: it’s their relationship with their families, historical backgrounds, culture and, most importantly, with themselves.įocusing in parts on self-acceptance and repressed feelings sparkled with the uncertainty of ethnic and sexual identity, the novel portrays Ari and Dante discovering the secrets of the universe – not all the space and time and its contents, including planets and stars, but rather the inner universe of each character. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz is many things at once, hence why I found it difficult to organize my thoughts and write a review.

This would get an 8 if I could give it that. The price of the machine is very affordable and if you aren't as impressed with it I would be surprised! I've bought a lot of things on Overstock lately and I seem to be giving all of my purchases high marks. The machine is very light weight so if like me you don't have a dedicated sewing room this is easily stashed away in a nearby closet with no effort or strength required. I had to get used to the thread loading horizontally instead of vertically but it was no time before I was comfortable doing that. changing the presser-foot is a breeze as is the bobbin loading. I am not technically inclined and this accommodates those of us who are not. I sat down and practiced all of the LED stich options and was sewing with incredible ease in no time. The ease of setting the stiches is incredible. This machine practically calls you in to sit down and sew. very happy w purchase and should keep my girls sewing sans headaches for years. lots of useful tricks usually limited to much pricier machines. discovered if lift the presser foot lever you can put a very thick amount of material under foot. only real issue is that the needle position defaults to left when machine turned on rather than center. the threader came off and with some effort put it back on and now it swings right into place and threads needle as it should. also w thread catching on spool notch but they have a note in manual on overcoming that problem. had a bit of issue winding bobbin but that was user error - follow diagram exactly! - when done properly they wind like a charm. used one of these to sew a dress for d2's daughter. i have sewn for years and have a high end embroidery machine. each had a machine but one has a daughter wanting to sew and hers was a good beginner machine. Got 2 for my daughters' birthday this year. It is even very reasonably priced! Thank you, Brother. This Brother machine works as well as any of the others and I am delighted. I am a professional seamstress and have worked with a LOT of machines. I recommend reading the entire manual a couple of times so that all of it's features can be enjoyed. Re-threading worked every time, and the noise disappeared. Also, when I began to hear a different noise when I stitched, it was always traceable to the bobbin thread not quite being in the tension completely. A couple of times the troubleshooting code showed itself, yet, each time it was for something I forgot to do. Anything I could throw at it has been managed with ease. This machine has handled tough heavy-duty zipper replacement in a man's hunting jacket, bridal satin, drapery fabric, denim, quilting cottons, and organza without a blink. Well, since they were out of my budget, I decided to try a Brother. In the past, I have used high-end Viking machines, yet I lost my last one in a move. I have had this machine for almost 2 years now and it is terrific. |
