ANSWERED: Activating your Xfinity xFi Gateway with the Xfinity xFi App
This article outlines how to activate your Xfinity Internet/Xfinity Voice service if you rent an Xfinity xFi Gateway (Arris 1682G, Cisco 3941T, Arris 3482G, Technicolor CGM4140COM or Cisco DPC3939). To determine the type of Gateway you have, check the make and model information located on the bottom of your device. You can also log in to My Account and select Devices to view the make and model of your Gateway. If you do not have an xFi-compatible Gateway, please see the activation instructions for other Wireless Gateway devices. Activation Instructions Before you start: Download the Xfinity xFi app for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Launch the Xfinity xFi app and sign in using your Xfinity username and password. (You must be the primary or an unrestricted secondary user to access.) Select I'm setting up my Wireless Gateway. After activation you can continue to use the Xfinity xFi app to manage your home network. Select Get Started to begin the process of setting up your Gateway. The entire process should not take longer than 20 minutes. Select Use Camera to scan the QR code on the side or back of the device. The QR code should contain all of the information needed to begin activation. You may also be prompted to grant the Xfinity xFi app permission to access your smartphone's camera. Note: If your device does not have a QR code to scan, you will need to enter the 12-digit CM MAC number found on the side or back of the Gateway. Select Enter Code Manually and follow the on-screen prompts. You may also be prompted to enter the CM MAC number even if your device has a QR code if we need additional information. Your smartphone's camera will open within the Xfinity xFi app. Find the QR code and focus the camera on it. Once the QR code has been successfully scanned, you will see a green check mark. Note: Keep your smartphone as steady as possible. If the camera has trouble focusing on the QR code, try slowly moving your smartphone away from and towards the QR code. The app will then take you through the necessary steps to set up your Gateway (modem/router) and activate your Xfinity Internet/Xfinity Voice service. For the best WiFi coverage, set up the device in the most centrally located place in your home where there is also a cable outlet. Also, avoid placing the device in your basement or attic as this can interfere with your WiFi signal. Keep it out of cabinets or closets, and make sure it is off of the floor. Select Next to proceed through these tips. Once you've found the best spot for your Gateway, follow the instructions to connect the coaxial cable and power cord. The lights on the front of your Gateway will flash and blink as the device prepares for activation. Select Ready to Go! to continue. Now that your Gateway is connected, it's time to personalize your home WiFi network name and password. Enter a WiFi name and password that is easy to remember and secure. Select Next. Confirm the WiFi name and password you entered are correct. If you need to make changes, simply select the back arrow in the top left-hand corner of the screen. If you are also activating Xfinity Voice, you will see your phone number on this screen. Select Confirm and Finish Up. Note: For customers swapping an existing xFi Gateway with a new one, you may be presented with the WiFi name and password associated with your previous device. You can choose to keep them the same, or create a new WiFi name and password. If you change the name/password, you'll need to reconnect all your devices using the new information. Your home network setup will now begin. This can take up to 10 minutes to complete. You will also be prompted to enable push notifications to be alerted when activation is complete. Once your Gateway is activated and your WiFi is ready to go, you'll be presented with instructions on how to connect to your new WiFi network. Two shortcuts are provided to make this process even easier. Simply copy your WiFi password to your clipboard by selecting Copy and then Go to Settings. From there, go to the WiFi settings on your device, wait for your new WiFi name to show in the list of available networks, join the network and then paste your password to connect. Remember, you'll need to connect all of your WiFi-enabled devices using the WiFi name and password you created. Select Continue to XFINITY xFi to access home network personalization and control features, for example the ability to see who's most active on your network, troubleshoot any connection issues, and block inappropriate content and network threats. To learn more about xFi features, see the overview for Xfinity xFi Web Portal and Mobile App.

ANSWERED: How to improve your Xfinity Wifi
Many factors may impact WiFi connectivity in your home. Take the following into consideration for better WiFi performance: Check Gateway/Router Placement Place your Gateway, modem or router in the most central location of your home, preferably on the main floor instead of the attic or basement. Make sure it is at least a couple of feet off of the floor and confirm that the coax cable connection is finger tight. Avoid putting your Gateway or router in cramped spaces or next to anything that can block the WiFi signal. The best position is in an open space away from thick surfaces (e.g., concrete walls) and other household electronics that may cause interference with the WiFi signal, such as baby monitors, cordless phones, microwave ovens, refrigerators and Bluetooth-connected devices. **Note**: Consider adding Xfinity xFi Pods to help extend your home WiFi coverage throughout your home. To learn more and purchase, go to xfinity.com/xfipods. Regularly Reboot Your Equipment Rebooting (or restarting) your Gateway, modem or router is good for the device's health and for your home WiFi performance. Doing this allows the device to update its software, if necessary, which can help optimize your connection and speed. Learn how to restart your WiFi equipment. Confirm Your WiFi Network Sometimes you may be connected to your Gateway's public WiFi hotspot network (xfinitywifi) or secure hotspot network (XFINITY), which can limit your WiFi speed. Go to the WiFi settings of your device to make sure you're connected to your personal in-home WiFi network. Connect High-Bandwidth Devices via Ethernet Whenever possible, plugging stationary devices directly into your Gateway or router using an Ethernet cable may provide optimal connectivity. For example, it's ideal for desktop computers, gaming consoles and video streaming devices to be connected with an Ethernet cable instead of connecting wirelessly, since activities on those devices use a lot of bandwidth (e.g., graphic-rich online gaming, movies or TV shows). Check Bridge Mode and Antennae for Third-Party Routers If you use your own router along with your Gateway, make sure the Gateway is in bridge mode. Learn more about bridge mode. You'll also want to position the antennae of your router so that one is pointing vertically (12 o'clock), and the other one is pointing horizontally (either 3 or 9 o'clock) to broadcast the strongest signal. Consider a Different Speed Option If many devices access your home WiFi network at the same time, you may want to consider a higher speed tier to improve your network's performance. We offer several speed options to serve your needs. Visit My Account to see which level of Internet service you have and the upgrade options that are available. Other Factors That May Impact WiFi Connectivity: Technical limitations of personal devices (e.g., an older phone that can't handle faster speeds, out of date operating systems, etc.) The distance between personal devices and your Gateway/modem/router Older devices which could be consuming bandwidth and slowing down your network Additional Resources For more information, refer to Xfinity's in-home WiFi tip sheet. For details about staying connected to your home WiFi network, see how to troubleshoot Xfinity Internet or WiFi connection. If your Gateway is several years old, it may be time to upgrade. Find out more about upgrading your wireless network equipment. For additional information, refer to Improving your Xfinity WiFi.

ANSWERED: Port Forwarding Primer
***Created by our Community Users*** We see many questions in the forums regarding port forwarding, so I have put together a primer to try to help those who are new to the concept. WARNING: Port Forwarding exposes devices on your LAN to the Internet. If you DO NOT NEED to port forward, DON'T. This guide tells you how to and why you might need to port forward. The reader assumes any and all responsibility for any damage of, or intrusions into their network caused by port forwarding. What is Port Forwarding? Port forwarding is a mechanism used in IPv4 to allow a computer, smartphone, or other device (the SOURCE) outside your Comcast HSI connection to connect to a device on your LAN (the DESTINATION). A typical Comcast residential user network might look something like this: In this diagram, a Cable subscriber (you) has a webcam, NAS, or media server on the internal LAN behind his router/gateway. It is configured to listen on TCP port 8080, in this case. Other devices or game servers that you have may be configured to listen on a different (or many different) ports, but the principle is the same. Let's say that the subscriber (you) want to make that server available to a family member in a different location, so they can see your webcam, or look at pictures on your media server or NAS. In order to do that, your family member needs to be able to connect, often using a web browser, or a smartphone app. The problem is that your web server is on your LAN, protected by the firewall in your router, AND it has a private address, which cannot be used on the internet. The private subnets you will see most commonly are the 192.168.0.0 and 10.0.0.0 subnets. Subnetting is beyond the scope of this discussion, as most home routers are set up out-of-the-box to use one of these submets. Under normal circumstances, you will probably never have to change this. The problem lies in the fact that these subnets cannot be routed over the internet. Port Forwarding is intended to solve that problem. As seen in the diagram, your home router (and you must have a router of some type to perform port forwarding) is provided with an address on the public internet by Comcast. Because of a shortage of IPv4 addresses, home routers use Network Address Translation (NAT) to allow you to connect a large number of devices to your router, and give them the ability to connect to other devices on the internet. This is done by assigning each requested connection from your LAN a TCP port, so the router can track the connection. The combination of the IP address and port number is called a socket. So, when you use your computer on your LAN to go to www.google.com, your computer (the source) sends a request using a random port (usually above port 1024) to the destination (www.google.com) on port 80 (the standard http port. Because of NAT, the Google server sees your source address as the WAN IP of your router. How, you may ask. is this related to Port Forwarding? Well, port forwarding is essentially the same process, but in reverse. Think of it as inbound NAT. You router has a public IP address, but by default, it doesn't listen on many ports. This is for security so that someone on the internet cannot easily get on to your network. Now, you have a media server or an IP Camera that you want Granny to see, so you have to tell your router to listen on a port so that you can give Granny a link to it that she can put in her web browser (how she does that we will discuss later). How do I set up Port Forwarding First, you have to set up your router. There is an excellent website at http://portforward.com, which will walk you through the steps of how to forward ports on just about every known router, so I am not going to go into detail on any particular model. Suffice to say that when you set up port forwarding, you tell your router to listen on a particular port (in the case of the diagram, it is port 8080), and you also tell it where to send that traffic, when it sees it. In this case, the router is told to send all traffic it ses incoming on port 8080 to the internal device at 192.168.1.200. Below is an example of the screen for configuring a Custom port forwarding service on a Netgear WNDR3700. Other router screens will look different. This is just one example: Setting Up Port Forwarding in the Wireless Gateway Admin Tool To turn on the port forwarding function on your gateway, follow the steps below to create a rule. Go to http://10.0.0.1 using a device that is connected to your network. Log in to the Admin Tool: Username: admin Password: password (unless you changed it) Select the Advanced menu in the left pane, then click Port Forwarding. Select Enable. The button will turn green. Click +ADD SERVICE in the Port Forwarding box. The Add Service page will appear. Select the appropriate option (FTP, AIM, HTTP, PPTP), from the Common Service drop-down menu. Selecting one of these options will automatically populate the start and end ports below the Common Service field. For a service not listed, select Other and type Service Name in the field. Select the Service Type. The Service Type is the protocol used for sending data over the Internet. The default is TCP/UDP. Click CONNECTED DEVICE to select the device on your network and populate these fields for the IPv4 Address or IPv6 Address fields. If the CONNECTED DEVICE button doesn't appear on the page: Open a new browser window, follow Steps 1 and 2 from above, and go to Connected Devices > Devices, as shown below. Click the name of your device for which you want to add the port forwarding rule, under Online Devices' Host Name. Highlight and copy the IP address. Return to the previous browser window and paste the IP address. The start and end ports will populate only if you selected one of the four Common Services. If not, enter the port numbers that are required for the game or service for which you want to add the port forwarding rule. Click Save. You have created a port forwarding rule on your home network, but before you log out of the Admin Tool, take note of your WAN IP address (as seen below). You'll need this information to begin using the game or service. OK, so I have set it up...how does Granny get there... Granny has a computer with a web browser. Lets say you are letting her see your IP Camera. instead of port 80, your IP Camera is designed to listen on port 8080. Under normal circumstances, you would forward the same port externally as the device listens on, so you would set up your port forwarding to listen on the WAN interface on port 8080, and internally, send all port 8080 traffic to the IP address of your IP camera. Now, when Granny browses google.com, she just types inwww.google.com in her browser, and it goes there, right? That is because google.com is listening on a well-known port for http traffic (port 80), and browsers automatically know that you want to go to port 80. What they don't know is that your router is waiting to send traffic to your IP Camera on port 8080, so when you tell Granny how to get to your camera, if you are using any port other that 80, you MUST specify the port, and that you are using the http protocol. So, you would tell granny to put the following in her browser address bar: http://<yourWANIP>:8080 To find the WAN IP of your router, you can either look at the Status page in your router interface, or browse tohttp://whatismyip.com If you don't want to give her an IP address, you would need to use some type of Dynamic DNS service (not within the scope of this discussion) to translate your WAN IP into a hostname, but you still need to specify http and the port number, like this: http://myipcam.somedomain.org:2000 (the actual name will depend on your Dynamic DNS provider) What else can I do with Port Forwarding? The principles are the same for pretty much any device or server that you want to make available to sources outside your home. You can port forward Windows Remote Desktop Protocol, so you can log into your PC from another device with an RDP client. You can run a web server (although publicly accessible webservers are technically against the Comcast AUP for residential connections), you can access your own media server from your smartphone, so you can listen to your music wherever you are...the possibilities are pretty much endless, BUT make sure that you secure the devices you are allowing access to with strong passwords. While many security experts frown upon the concept of 'Security by Obscurity' I personally don't see that it hurts to change the port you are using for some services, especially the more common ones...Any hacker knows that Windows Remote Desktop Protocol runs on port 3389, so instead of setting your port forwarding up to listen on port 3389 on the WAN IP, use a different port (above 1024 is recommended. The highest you can go is 65535). You can still tell the router to forward the traffic to port 3389, so you don't have to mess around with the registry settings for your RDP setup on your Windows machine. That is basic port forwarding in brief. If you have any questions, please post it in the forums in the Home Networking / Router / & WiFi Gateway Help board and we will try to help. Is your device currently connected to your home network? If the device is not currently connected to your home network, adding a port forward may not work. Try connecting your device to your home network and then setting up the desired port forward. Connecting to your network first will ensure the device has a valid DHCP address within the DHCP range for port forwarding. Are port forwards you previously set up not appearing in xFi? When attempting to set up a port forward, are you receiving a message that we're having some trouble, or that the port you are trying to set up already exists? If you have previously set up a port forward but it is not appearing in xFi, or when attempting to set up a port forward, you are receiving a message that we're having some trouble, or that the port already exists, editing your LAN settings may resolve the issue. This will clear any pre-existing port forwards that may not be appearing in xFi but are causing issues, and should allow you to successfully set up new port forwards. Any small adjustment made to your LAN settings should be enough to clear existing port forwards. Once the changes have been applied, you can immediately change the settings back to the previous if desired. Once completed, try setting up your port forwards as desired. Have your LAN settings recently changed? If you changed your LAN settings, port forwards you previously set up will no longer work. You will need to set up your port forwards again. Does the device you're attempting to set up a port forward for have an IPv6 address? xFi does not currently allow you to set up port forward for devices that have an IPv6 address since port forwarding should not be needed for these devices. If the device is dual stack (has both an IPv4 and IPv6 address) the IP recognized by xFi depends on which address your device defaults to. Port forwarding can only be configured in xFi if the device is using the IPv4 address. There are some quirks to setting up port forwarding on the SBG6580 gateway.

Unauthorized Access Attempts An Unauthorized Access Attempt occurs when an outside device tries to access another device connected to your home network. Typically, Unauthorized Access Attempts occur through open port forwards on your connected device. While open ports are needed for certain apps and features to run properly, we recommend reviewing open ports on a regular basis and deleting those which don't need to be open. If the request is legitimate (e.g., if you're trying to access your home security camera from a local coffee shop) you can locate the blocked threat in your Threat History and allow access for 30 days. Keep in mind, attackers may try to exploit access to obtain personal data or compromise your device. To prevent others from gaining such access, remember to use strong passwords and change them regularly. Suspicious Site Visit A Suspicious Site Visit occurs when we stop a device that's connected to your home network from visiting a potentially dangerous site. This site may contain malware, spyware, ransomware, or viruses that can infect devices and make them vulnerable to personal data collection, blackmail, or attacks on other computers and networks. Often, we'll block just a part of a page from loading (e.g., a banner ad) if there's only one component that's deemed to be malicious. If this happens, you'll still be able to load the rest of the page and may not even realize malicious content was blocked. The Threat History lists all of the blocked Suspicious Site Visits, including the specific site that was blocked, and the reason why it was blocked. If a full page is blocked, and you still want to visit it despite the potential risk, access can be allowed for one hour. To further reduce the risk of infection, we highly recommend installing and running up-to-date antivirus software for devices connected to your network such as laptops, desktops and certain hand-held devices. Suspicious Device Activity Most smart home devices have predictable traffic patterns and sites they contact. Suspicious Device Activity occurs when a device deviates from its normal behavior, like connecting to an IP address that it doesn't normally interact with. We'll block this suspicious activity to avoid data theft, but the occurrence itself indicates that the security of the device may have been compromised and corrective action is needed. For this reason, whenever you encounter Suspicious Device Activity, please restart your device and verify that it's running the latest software. To further protect your devices, we highly recommend using strong passwords and changing them regularly. We also suggest installing and running up-to-date antivirus software for devices connected to your network, such as laptops, desktops and certain handheld devices. Targeted Network Attack A Targeted Network Attack occurs when a device on your network has been infected with a virus or malware and, as a result, has tried to participate in an attack on another network. This type of attack is also known as a Denial of Service attack. We'll block this type of attack, but the occurrence itself indicates that the security of the device may have been compromised and corrective action is needed. For this reason, whenever you encounter a Targeted Network Attack, please restart your device and verify that it's running the latest software. To further protect your devices, we highly recommend using strong passwords and changing them regularly. We also suggest installing and running up-to-date antivirus software for devices connected to your network such as laptops, desktops and certain handheld devices. IP Reputation Threats An IP Reputation Threat occurs when a device that we've identified as coming from a known malicious source tries to access a device on your home network. Typically, IP Reputation Threats occur through open ports on a device connected to your home network. The goal of the attack is to gain access to a device, for example to obtain personal information and/or compromise your devices. To keep your network safe, we automatically block access attempts from known malicious sources. While open ports are needed for certain apps and features to run properly, we recommend reviewing open ports on a regular basis and deleting those which don't need to be open. How is Advanced Security different from the Protected Browsing feature in xFi? Protected Browsing is a feature in xFi available to customers who rent a Cisco DPC3939 Gateway. It prevents you from visiting websites that are known sources of malware, spyware and phishing. Advanced Security adds even more protection for your devices. At times, it may block an entire website. Other times, it may only block portions of a site, such as banner ads, icons, etc. In addition, Advanced Security also blocks unknown sources from trying to access your connected devices and detects when your connected devices are behaving in unusual ways that could indicate your device has been infected by malicious software. Plus, Advanced Security is always learning so it keeps up with new security threats in real time. How is Advanced Security different from Norton Security Online? Norton Security Online is a security software program that can detect and remove viruses and malware from your PCs, Macs and Android devices. This is available at no additional cost for Xfinity Internet subscribers on up to five devices. Alternatively, xFi Advanced Security protects all your connected devices, including those that can't run antivirus software (e.g., voice assistants, smart thermostats, smart TVs, security cameras, etc.). While Advanced Security can't remove malware that may already be on your devices like Norton Security Online can for computers, it does prevent that malware from causing harm. Using both Norton Security Online and xFi Advanced Security together will give you the most protection for all your devices. I received a notification that Advanced Security couldn't be set up. What should I do? First, sign in to xFi and make sure your Gateway is online. You should see "Gateway Online" in the header of the Overview. Then, restart your Gateway to install the latest software. You may need to restart twice for the full install. You can do this from the Overview page. Once your Gateway is online again, sign back in to xFi. Are all of my devices protected by xFi Advanced Security? All devices connected to your Xfinity home network receive protection. However, there may be exceptions that prevent full protection, and we do not guarantee that your devices will be completely harm-free. The following devices are not fully protected: Vivint Smart Drive (formerly referred to as Space Monkey) This device continues to be protected against known threats, such as malicious websites, IP reputation threats and denial of service threats. Due to this device's configuration, it is not protected against unknown threats such as unauthorized access attempts. How are threats detected with Advanced Security? Whenever a device is connected to your home network, activity information is transmitted through your Gateway. We gather that information, which includes data from packet headers, source and destination addresses, and other metadata for analysis. This traffic flow is constantly being monitored, along with the source and destination of the traffic. This helps us determine any associated risks and, if needed, block potentially malicious actions. We also update the parameters for blocking to reflect newly-discovered known dangers and risks. If no risks or potentially malicious actions are detected, you'll see in the app that there are no threats to report. For your privacy, we don't gather personal information during this analysis, nor is any encrypted traffic analyzed. How can I be notified when a threat is detected? You can receive a push notification from the xFi mobile app for the following threat types: Unauthorized Access Attempts, Suspicious Device Activity and Targeted Network Attacks. From the Xfinity xFi app, select the conversation icon in the upper left-hand corner for the Notification Center. Select the gear icon. Select Push Notifications to manage your notification preferences. To enable Advanced Security notifications, select the checkbox next to Network Activity . Email and text notifications aren't available at this time. Keep in mind, you can visit the Xfinity xFi app any time to check the status of all threats. I received a notification that a website I never visited was blocked. What does this mean? In some cases, Advanced Security will allow you to access a site (or application) and will only block part of the page from loading (e.g., a banner ad) that is considered potentially dangerous. In that scenario, you won't see the blocked content while you're browsing. When part of a page is blocked, you'll still receive a notification informing you the website associated with that content was blocked. How many threats should I expect to see? It's difficult to estimate a typical threat number, since each home is different. It depends on the number and type of devices, as well as different factors like the security mode, port forwards and other settings you have for your home network. However, it's not uncommon to have no threats for a week and then one to three threats another week. Those who play online games are more likely to encounter more threats, since they are more likely to have open ports on their network. It's not uncommon to see hundreds of threats weekly if you have open ports. I haven't had any threats reported. How do I know that Advanced Security is working? Potential threats are dependent upon the number and type of devices connected to your home network, as well as factors like the security mode, port forwards and other settings you have configured. Rest assured, even if you haven't received reports of any threats, your home network is still being protected by Advanced Security. Do all threats require my attention? Threats are split into two main categories: Those that require your attention and those that are for awareness only. While all threats are immediately blocked, there are somewhere we'll recommend further action to ensure they won't occur again. Learn more about threat types . Attention Required These include Suspicious Device Activity, Targeted Network Attacks and Unauthorized Access Attempts, and may result in a device that's vulnerable due to a virus or other malware. In such cases, we'll recommend steps to secure your devices and remove any malicious software. You'll have the option to Allow Access for Unauthorized Access Attempts (30 days) if you'd like to override the block. Awareness Only These include Suspicious Site Visits. Consider these warning threats that may provide insight into potentially dangerous activity. You'll have the option to Allow Access (one hour for sites blocked by Suspicious Site Visits) if you'd like to override the block. If I swap out my xFi Gateway for a new one, or move and transfer my Xfinity Internet service to a new address, will I still be protected by Advanced Security? If you're activating a compatible xFi Gateway, Advanced Security should automatically be enabled on the new Gateway within 15 minutes after activation. Please note that all previous threat information will be cleared from xFi and xFi Advanced Security. Will Advanced Security work on Disney Circle? Yes. However, since traffic for devices being monitored by Circle routes through the Circle device itself, any threat that Advanced Security blocks for the monitored devices will appear as if it's happening on the Circle device. Rest assured, threats are still blocked, but if any threats that appear for Circle need attention, you may need to take action on the devices being monitored by Circle and not the Circle device itself. Can I disable Advanced Security? Yes. To disable the Advanced Security feature in xFi, navigate to More and select My Services . Then, select Disable under xFi Advanced Security and follow the on-screen prompts. Note: By disabling, you'll lose 24/7 threat monitoring and real-time reporting on your home network. You can re-enable the feature following the same steps and selecting Enable.

Fifth Sunday of the Year
Is 58:7-10; 1 Cor 2:1-5; Mt 5:13-16 (Year A)
"Share your bread with the hungry, and shelter the homeless poor. Clothe the man you see to be naked and turn not from your own kin. Then will your light shine like the dawn."
These words were spoken to a struggling Israel as she sought to re-establish herself following the devastation of destruction and exile. They had lost everything, and in such circumstances the tendency is to turn inwards, to put survival above all else. The prophet called them to reach beyond themselves, to share the little they had with the hungry and the poor, to heal all family divisions. "Then will your light rise in the darkness, and your shadows become like noon."
Only in this way would a broken people discover their deepest identity as the chosen people of a compassionate God. In the fullness of time Jesus would emphasise this invitation to a selfless heart: "Come, you whom my Father has blessed, for I was hungry and you gave me food, naked and you clothed me, a stranger and you made me welcome."
The glory of God was to be revealed in the compassion of his people. It was in this sense that Jesus exhorted his disciples to become as salt to the earth and light to the world: "You are the salt of the earth. But if salt becomes tasteless, what can make it salty again? You are the light of the world. No one lights a lamp to put it under a tub."
If we are to become a light that proclaims Christ, we must first acknowledge and surrender our darkness to him. When faith has lost its savour, he alone restores its taste. Jesus never proposed that his disciples would, in themselves, become that light for which the world longs. Rather, he invited us to walk in his light, to become as Moses, whose face shone with the presence of God. We are to be and become what his grace alone enables us to be. Then indeed shall we become light to the world and salt to the earth. "In the same way your light must shine in the sight of men, so that, seeing your good works, they may give praise to your Father in heaven."

You'll also want to think about how visible your hinges will be—do you want them to be a major design feature and mounted directly to both the outside of the frame and the outside of the cabinet, known as a surface-mounted hinge? Or take a more minimalist design approach and have them virtually invisible from the outside when the cabinets are closed, known as a concealed hinge? Are you worried about the noise of cabinet doors closing, and think that soft-closing hinges are important?
The chrome and stainless steel can vary some too, but usually not as much, and as often as nickel. To be safe, get samples from different brands and compare the colors, or get all the hardware that you need for a single room from one manufacturer. It's ok if the nickel in one room doesn't exactly match the nickel in another room. It only looks mismatched if the different nickel finishes are right next to each other in the same room.
When choosing a backsplash color scheme, keep in mind the type of look you want for your kitchen. By choosing a backsplash color that blends in with your wall color, you'll be creating a streamlined, coordinated look. If you want to make a statement and have your backsplash pop, try choosing one or even a few colors that accent your wall color, making it stand out from the background.
By adding hardware you like, you're literally installing your style into the room — and this will make any accessories you want to add in feel like a part of the kitchen's design, and not out of place. Of course, not every cabinet + hardware combo is going to work, but see how far you can take it when it comes to choosing hardware outside the traditional style of the cabinets.
Hanging knobs on a flat-front cabinet is pretty straightforward: You'll want to position the knob in the bottom corner (for upper cabinets) or top corner (for lower cabinets) of the door. Knobs should be placed equidistant from both sides of the cabinet. A guide like this one can help you to get the measurements right. The exact distance will depend on the look you want and the size of your knobs: Test one or two before you drill a whole kitchen's worth of holes.

"We find it refreshing for people to purchase what they like and what feels good to them, not caring what the 'Joneses' have," says Renee. The Brandino Brass team regularly works with professionals who have their own signature styles. "One architect in town may use the same small knob all over the house all in the same finish for continuity. Another one will use different styles and finishes in each individual room," says Jessie Isom, Brandino Brass team member. "There is no right or wrong if you like it."
A good price for pulls begins at around $12.00 a piece because anything less looks cheap and the quality will be sub-par. Look for cabinet hardware at plumbing or cabinet showrooms. They will have a larger variety and better quality. Look through the displays or catalogs and order several samples in different styles and finishes to compare to the rest of the finishes in your kitchen.
Kitchen knobs, pulls, and hinges have come a long way from the traditional styles that have been available over the years. No longer are homeowners limited to plain, simple, and functional. Instead, functional and pretty can now go hand in hand. Today's styles include finishes in antique copper, iron, nickel, polished chrome, aged bronze, polished brass, glass, stainless steel, and antique brass. Additionally, a variety of knobs, handles, and pulls are available in ceramic styles.

Hidden hinges, or European (Euro) hinges as they're called, aren't difficult to install, and were part of my mini kitchen update. My kitchen is small, and in order to gain storage space, I switched the 30″ upper cabinets to 42″ ones, but kept some of the existing base cabinets. The very shiny, visible hinges on the base cabinets were a dead giveaway as to which cabinets were the moldy oldies. Here are the originals.
Caring for decorative hardware purchased from Cliffside Industries is easy. Use only a soft cloth dampened with water for cleaning. The most important thing to remember is never to apply any chemicals or abrasive cleaners, including all kinds of soap or detergent. Using these products damages the protective lacquer and may change the appearance of the piece. Any use of chemicals, abrasives or soaps will void your warranty.
Go to the home improvement center and get a 35mm Concealo Hinge mounting kit, it comes with a forstner bit (invented by Benjamin Forstner, in case you didn't know) and a jig for marking the drill location. You'll also want to make sure you get 35mm European-style hinges too, but before you buy them you'll need to determine if you have ½" overlay or full overlay doors. ½" overlay doors overlap the face frames by a ½", full overlay doors fully overlap the face frame leaving about an 1/8" showing on the outside edge. My doors were all ½" overlay, so I bought eighty 3-way adjustable hinges from eBay. I'm not sure what I was thinking because I ended up with a LOT of hinges left over. Warm up your drill and let's move on to the next step.
Diane, this is so exciting! I can relate as I had a makeover much like yours ( from 70's brown cabinets to white painted, but pulls are also painted….black.) that was 5 years ago and we are now in the process of making over a back bedroom into a walk-in closet and part of a bathroom/vanity area. I feel as though I should have taken pictures of the progress and posted blogs! I cannot wait for the finished product. I KNOW you must be feeling the same way about the beautiful kitchen you are creating…
Kitchen knobs, pulls, and hinges have come a long way from the traditional styles that have been available over the years. No longer are homeowners limited to plain, simple, and functional. Instead, functional and pretty can now go hand in hand. Today's styles include finishes in antique copper, iron, nickel, polished chrome, aged bronze, polished brass, glass, stainless steel, and antique brass. Additionally, a variety of knobs, handles, and pulls are available in ceramic styles.
For oversized cabinetry you'll obviously want to use larger hardware. Oversized cabinets and drawers are defined as over 3 feet wide. Cookware drawers or built-in appliance cabinetry are usually oversized. For these large drawers and cabinet doors, consider long pulls which typically come in widths of 6", 8", 10" or 12 inches. Some contemporary pulls are even larger than 12 inches. That measurement is taken from the center of one screw hole to the center of the second screw hole). Oversized knobs are 1-1/2" or larger.
Cabinet hardware is composed a variety of materials -- most of which are metal alloys. Brass hardware typically has a lacquer or plating applied to its surface that makes it very durable in a kitchen. It is antimicrobial and helps to reduce the spread of germs. Bronze hardware is also antimicrobial, offers a substantial look and feel, and works well for cabinets made of thicker woods. Stainless steel is another option because it is so durable. Pewter and nickel are popular choices, too. Or, you can choose knobs made from glass or crystal for a vintage look.
I'm glad that you talk about the different hardware options, such as how you can choose something more decorative or if you are more focused on the functionality you want pulls and knobs that are subtle, like silver or clear colored. Knowing what you want would be useful so you can then easily search the various door hardware options online. If you search online, it could help you get more options and you could find stores that focus more on the type of knobs, pulls, and anything else that you're looking for.
Prior to making the purchase of your new cabinet hardware, take some careful measurements of the existing hardware. Write down sizes, as well as the spacing of the screws. This should eliminate the need to drill new holes. Accurate measurements are essential to avoid additional work or the need to return and exchange your hardware purchase. In fact, it is a good idea to bring some of your old hardware with you for size comparison purposes, unless you are shopping online for your hardware. In that case, simply have the hardware next to you.
Dreamer, thinker, + lemon squeezer; you'll usually find me clutching a mug of coffee, glue gun, fandeck of paint colors, and a child at any given time. This mom of two (and wife to one) loves to share freshly squeezed ideas for home and family. Join the adventure as we learn most lemons can indeed become lemonade-- with generous amounts of sweetness, perspective, and love.
Once you've selected your new handles and pulls, it's time to remove all the old ones. Using a drill or screwdriver, slowly back the screws out, then gently pull the old hardware away from the door or drawer front, so as not to damage the finish. Keep the old screws and pulls/knobs together in a plastic baggy so it's easy to donate or toss them depending on their condition. If you're going to repaint your cabinet doors, do it now.
I'm shocked on how little power they want in the kitchen. One outlet on the island? Wait until the kids want to plug a phone or lap top in or they are stinging an extension cord across it to use a blender on the other end. The Refridge/stove/freezer wall sounds a bit scary also. Stove next to a fridge is almost always a no no. You need countertop on both sides of the stove, period.
And why shouldn't we love them? Not only are they sturdy and virtually maintenance-free, but each stone tells a story that is uniquely independent of humankind. That stone making up your cabinet knob was formed in the hot belly of our planet, hardened to a crust on its exterior and then one day miraculously plucked up by a passing human and turned into a part of your daily life.
Most knobs and pulls are only a few dollars apiece but when you consider the sheer number that you'll need, those costs add up fast. For each standard lower cabinet with two doors and one drawer, you'll need three pieces of hardware — and two more knobs or pulls for the matching upper cabinet doors. With that in mind, here are a couple of factors to consider:
5. Be aware of the appliances and fixtures in the kitchen. Pulls and knobs are not the only hardware in your kitchen. Take into account the finish on appliances, light fixtures, and your sink and faucet. While mixing metal finishes is trendy right now in kitchen design, be sure not to overdo it. If the colors clash, it could disrupt the cohesiveness of your kitchen and take away from the beauty of your new cabinets.
The color white, and more specifically, white colored cabinets, have never been more popular in today's kitchens. White is always in style, regardless if you have a slick modern kitchen or relaxed country style. With their relaxed style and design flexibility, it's no secret as to why white cabinets are a constant crowd pleaser. The color white can make a room look larger and timeless in one broad stroke. With white cabinets, hardware is the most crucial detail, as it is more than just an accent, Hardware completes the room and adds overall value to your kitchen. With all of the available options, selecting the perfect hardware for your white cabinets can be a frustrating exercise. Below we discuss what to consider when selecting hardware for white kitchen cabinets.
Thank you so much for helping me understand more about the process to choose new kitchen cabinet hardware. We have been really into rustic looking kitchens lately, and I think that some antique decorative nails could really change the way it looks. Just as you mentioned, you can always change the look of your kitchen again if you do not like the way it looks after a couple of years. Thanks for posting!
If your old fridge still runs like a champ on the inside but it's starting to look like a but run-down and haggard on the outside, spruce it up with a DIY custom cover! Appliance covers are fastened directly to the outside of your appliance, masking their appearance on the outside and making them blend in with your kitchen cabinetry. You can take materials like bead board paneling, wallpaper, wood from old pallets or even mismatched wood scraps from barns to create an interesting look for your old appliance.
- Catches secure the cabinet door using magnets or rollers. - Latches clip or swing into place and are great for homes with children or curious pets. - Drawer Slides make closing and opening drawers easier and self-closing models prevent damage caused by slamming. - Hinges are available in styles and finishes to match cabinet knobs and pulls. Make sure to match the installation type when replacing existing hinges.
Try putting different types of handles on different types of cabinets and drawers. Again, you should adhere to a color scheme and symmetry, but using a mixture of metal and glass knobs, bars and handles can add lots of character to the space. Just be sure to step back and make sure there is some rhyme and reason to it all. For instance, perhaps the two drawers straddling the kitchen sink should share the same handles to create a pleasing sense of symmetry.
It's important to choose hardware that will complement the rest of your kitchen décor and accentuate its worthy features. Generally, most people want their cabinet and drawer hardware to coordinate with the handles on their appliances. The colors should work well together, and the finishes shouldn't clash. Drastically different shapes can also make your kitchen feel cluttered. You should use functionality and your personal preference to approach choosing knobs vs. pulls, but there are a few general guidelines to follow that correlate with your style of cabinets.
Thanks so much. Isn't it crazy how expensive hardware can be. Concealed hinges generally have the advantage of more adjustability. That is more important with inset doors and overlay doors that meet in the center of the cabinet with no center style. If you have a simple 1/2″ overlay and a center style, they are so forgiving and don't require precise fiddle factor installation! LOL There's no need for the more expensive hinges.
Also, experiment with different shapes. Things like knobs, handles, toilet paper holders, towel racks and hinges have a lot of expressive power. Beyond color, though, you should take advantage of their different shapes to accentuate certain features in a room. Pay attention to details like the width of drawers and the height of cabinet doors, and experiment with different shapes to complement them.
"We find it refreshing for people to purchase what they like and what feels good to them, not caring what the 'Joneses' have," says Renee. The Brandino Brass team regularly works with professionals who have their own signature styles. "One architect in town may use the same small knob all over the house all in the same finish for continuity. Another one will use different styles and finishes in each individual room," says Jessie Isom, Brandino Brass team member. "There is no right or wrong if you like it."
I would like to use a hinge similar to the wrap around no mortise Amaroc 3175s but am disappointed to learn the poor reviews ….sloppy….bent…flimsy…not worth it…low qc import. Perhaps they were better in the past! I would be most greatful if you could recommend a better quality hinge of that style. Alternatively,Can the full inset euro cup hinge be adapted to a face frame cabinet by building out the inside lip ^

precioso lugar
Estuvimos en Semana Santa, es la cuarta vez que nos hospedamos ahí, esta vez encontramos muchas mejoras en la casa, esperamos seguir disfrutando del lugar en el futuro, siempre la pasamos de maravilla y los dueños son encantadores!!
"Fabulous Casa"
The home and view, with pool is amazing! The best of the best I've found in Costa Rica!
Thanks so much for such a lovely review. We love it so much and it is a pleasure to know you enjoyed it too. I hope you will come back some day as now it is partly your home too🦋🌈
A great time
Carrillo is a gem. You won't regret going there. It's 5-8 minutes from busier but not as nice Samara, so you are minutes from all the touristy stuff, but kind of secluded from that. The beach, every day but one, was almost empty, and the water was warm and clear.
Wonderful tropical paradise!
Beautiful home, view, crystal clear ocean, great restaurants. The home is private and secluded while being close to Carrillo and Samara.
Breath taking views and amazing wildlife from this worn-out (in need of maintenance) home
We loved the view, the pool was very therapeutic, the location was perfect, the wildlife and insects were abundant and Isa (the house keeper) was supportive, thorough and on time. Long story short... there are multiple screens that had holes or hanging/broken screens- four days after reporting this (and the multiple reported insect invasion in the home) to Isa and Home owner- some of the screens were fixed, but not all! The owner (very responsive to emails) kept telling us "it's a jungle"... "it's CR"..."leave all lights off and doors/windows shut from dusk to dawn daily"...
The issue we had was there is no reason to have tarantula/s, a scorpion, poisonous spiders, centipedes, let alone all of the variation in ants... in the home while you are wanting to walk around indoors or sleep! Most of the exterior doors have huge (up to 2 inches) gaps between them and the floors, holes/broken screens,gaps in exterior walls and broken/missing/non-functioning window shutters. We booked this place for 9 days and ended up staying 4 nights there🤨� After the first two nights of no sleep, waking up with spiders/ants in the bed and a rash of unknown origin we stayed at other BNB (example...Sunset- right next door) & hotels atleast every other night to get sleep/rest. All of the other four places we stayed were absolutely bug free at night. Most of those places had air conditioning but all of them had no holes in screens, snug doors, working shutters and were routinely treated for insects. We would just sleep other places and go back to the house during day light hours.
With that being said we thought the Home could be amazing with routine upkeep and immediate repairs and treatments.
While we were at the house we were able to see howler and white face monkeys, iguanas, multiple birds, coates families and some of the most beautiful sunsets...
We would recommend this place, in the future, if you are open to be with all types of insects or if they put some deep TLC in it. Note- no working safe either.
We plan to go back to Costa Rica routinely... we have some amazing memories and love everything about there.
I'm sorry but that is just not true. Two glowing reviews from the two previous renters should prove that. We had repairs done as soon as someone could come—2 days. We do not believe in using poisons to kill harmless insects. But the house is in the Jungle and open with screens. A few bugs are inevitable and it is Costa Rica. Be assured, no one else in 22 years has even mentioned insects as a problem! These folks were just paranoid about insects. The housekeeper thought they were crazy!'
Also, there is a family there now who has rented the house twice a year for several years and we have NEVER heard anything like this. The previous renters used every one of our good towels--that then had to be washed--to cover every window in the house at night. That is just crazy behavior. Our housekeeper and our accountant, who came over to see if there was a problem, both thought they were crazy. And I think the previous reviews show that it is truly a lovely place, not run down or dirty.
One of the Best Views in Carrillo!
We stayed at the Mitchell house for the first two weeks of February 2018. The house was spacious and very comfortable for five adults. We spent lots of time in and around the pool, enjoying the view and listening to the endless surf, howler monkeys and beautiful birds. At night the stars were spectacular..It was the perfect location form which to take advantage of all the activities, sites and sounds that Carrillo and Samara has to offer. We highly recommend this piece of Paradise in Costa Rica.
Hi Jeffrey--Thanks so much for adding a review. It means a lot to us that you liked our home enough to share your feelings and I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as we do.
Playa Carrillo se encuentra a tres millas al sur de Samara en una de las playas más hermosas de Costa Rica. La playa es una enorme herradura bordeada de cocoteros con un promontorio rocoso en cada extremo. No hay desarrollo comercial en la playa que se suma a su belleza natural. Está en la provincia de Guanacaste, en la costa del Pacífico norte, en un área que hasta ahora no está sobredesarrollada y aún conserva la hermosa belleza natural sin condominios y campos de golf. Seguramente verá loros, monos aulladores, iguanas, ranas y muchas especies de pájaros y otros animales. Es el lugar perfecto para relajarse, pero hay mucho que hacer si desea aventurarse. Hay caballos, una tirolina, surf, natación, snorkel, pesca (algunas de las mejores actividades de pesca deportiva en Costa Rica), así como excursiones de un día que pescan cerca de la tierra. Si decide alquilar su casa, le enviaré una lista detallada de cosas que hacer y lugares a donde ir.

Called Atomic plumbing after kitchen was flooded with water the evening before, was given a time a technician would be out. Technician Jimmy Powell showed up early and after checking problem He went right to work. He stated he would have to cut a hole in the ceiling to get to the the drain. After some careful measurements his cut was right on target. Jimmy fixed the problem and was a true professional from start to finish. I wouldn't hesitate to call Atomic Plumbing for any plumbing needs, and would highly recommend Jimmy Powell as the technician.
Mounted under the sink, the garbage disposal is meant for chopping up small bits of waste food. When switched on the motor spins and impellers — also called lugs — throw bits of food against a grinder ring. You should always run water while using the garbage disposal; once the garbage disposal does its job, the water flushes the finely chopped particles down the drain.
If you decide to try this job yourself, be prepared to keep meticulous track of about a dozen tiny parts (put the stopper in the sink so none of them fall down the drain). There are many different faucet designs, so you may not be able to tell what to replace until you've done the disassembly. Whether you do it yourself or hire a plumber, this would be a good time to think about whether you want to upgrade the faucet with a new design.
While it's their job to make sure your pipes work like a well-oiled machine, it's not their job to rebuild the wall they had to demolish to make that happen. So, while you're going to get that water problem fixed, you'll want to discuss in detail what kind of "mess" they might leave behind prior to the start of the project so you can plan accordingly. Remember, there are some jobs you can do yourself. Here's how to solder copper pipe joints!
I have used Atomic Plumbing a few times, and they have provided excellent service each time. Yesterday I called to have a sewage leak in my crawl space fixed. The office offered to try to fit me in the same day I called but as I had plans to be out, they offered to give me an early morning appointment instead. I was given a courtesy call 30 min prior to the arrival of 2 technicians. They were professional and friendly and assessed the problem. They explained the problem and their solution and proposed a fair estimate. The repair was completed in less time than they estimated. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing plumbing repair.
My hot water heater needed replacement. Deanna was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and most helpful. She scheduled my appointment and James M. and Aaron arrived exactly on time. They were professional and had the job done in no time! Although it was a bit more expensive than I was expecting, the service was excellent. Thank you for a job well done.
If something goes wrong with your plumbing system, it usually is something that needs to be fixed immediately—plumbing problems won't wait until normal business hours to start causing damage to your home or property. Clogged drains can incapacitate your ability to use your toilet, garbage disposal, or shower, leaky toilets can send you to the gas station down the street, and backed-up sewer lines can leave you with a flooded basement or wet yard—any of these situations can ruin your day if you don't get help quickly. No one wants that! What's more, not addressing plumbing problems quickly can lead to more costly repairs later and not immediately evident issues like mold down the road.
Most states and localities require plumbers to be licensed. Although licensing requirements vary, most states and localities require workers to have 2 to 5 years of experience and to pass an exam that shows their knowledge of the trade and of local plumbing codes before they are permitted to work independently. In addition, most employers require plumbers to have a driver's license.

More than 1 in 10 kids live with substance-abusing parent
Would you be surprised to know that more than 8.3 million children under 18 years of age, or almost 12 percent of U.S. children, live with at least one parent who was dependent on or abused alcohol or an illicit drug during the past year? This is according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, an annual survey sponsored by SAMHSA (the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration). For more information on and statistics from this study, go to www.oas.samhsa.gov.
The nature of addiction is cyclical, and how parents' behavior impacts their children is something to keep in the forefront of our minds. Joelle Katan, outpatient therapist in the substance abuse treatment program at West Yavapai Guidance Clinic, helps guide adults, many of whom are parents, toward sobriety. "Many of my clients are adult children of alcoholics. I remember one client whose story about his son has remained a powerful picture to me. When the man was drinking and his son used to ask for a sip from his glass, he'd always say 'no' because there was alcohol in the glass. He was aware he was a bad example, but he couldn't stop drinking. He wanted to be a better parent," Katan recalled. "After coming through treatment and reaching recovery, he could freely and proudly tell his son 'yes' when he asked for a sip from his cup, because there was no alcohol in it. He not only redeemed himself, but he redeemed the idea of being a good parent."
Soon, the fifth anniversary of Children's Mental Health Awareness Day will be upon us. Thursday, May 6, is that day. While the focus is on children, the role that adults play in a child's mental health status should not be forgotten. The SAMHSA organizers of this Awareness Day have the following vision: to promote positive youth development, resilience, recovery, and the transformation of mental health services delivery for children and youth with serious mental health needs and their families. Awareness Day raises awareness of effective programs for children's mental health needs; demonstrates how children's mental health initiatives promote positive youth development, recovery, and resilience; and shows how children with mental health needs thrive in their communities.
According to Sean Derry, child and family therapist at West Yavapai Guidance Clinic, the entire family makes adjustments once a parent moves from abusing drugs/alcohol to a life of recovery. "Often, children have had to take on the parental roles when the parent is using substances. Children can struggle with giving up their new role and trusting that the parent will provide the stability and predictability that they need," Derry said. "There is a need for communication and patience as the family learns to function in a new way. Allowing strong feelings and concerns to be expressed and worked through is crucial."

VERNON – In Vernon it may soon become much more difficult to see a physician at a walk in clinic.
The Vernon Family Doctors Clinic, one of the city's three clinics, is set to close on March 19.
The clinic is having trouble having enough doctors to fill all the shifts because of physicians retiring, some doctors choosing not to work at the walk in, and others facing large workloads at their own practices. Barnard acknowledges the closure will have an effect on health care in Vernon.
"We do recognize that yes it is a significant impact on the patient population … and also on the emergency room," he says.
Vernon Mayor Akbal Mund says the city's clinics are already busy, and is concerned the closure will simply drive more people to the ER.
Global Okanagan requested an interview with Interior Health (IH), but received a written statement in response.
"It's not clear whether the clinic closure will have any impact on IH facilities or services, but we are in the process of evaluating that," wrote an Interior Health spokesperson.
For its part the provincial health ministry suggests something may be in the works to fill the gap.
"We have been advised that no doctors are leaving Vernon because of this closure and we understand there is work underway to help meet the needs in the community," wrote a ministry spokesperson.
