I've been wondering on and off recently, is it possible that Manuela Zinsberger is suffering with the goalkeeping version of "the yips" or, to use a less sporting specific term, paralysis-by-analysis?
Which led me to do some more research into it that I thought I'd share below the cut.
Because people sometimes get heated on the topic of Zinsberger, this isn't a piece explaining why fans can't be frustrated at her performances, just some thoughts and research sharing based on observations.
"The yips" and paralysis-by-analysis
"The yips" is a term perhaps more commonly known for being used in golf where it refers to involuntary muscle spasms that can occur and result in athletes lose control of their hands or wrists. It was previously considered to just be a mental health difficulty, but now there's some evidence for it being a neurological-muscular condition for some people, worsened by anxiety, which is a type of focal dystonia. So the term is, slightly confusingly, used to refer to both things. There are other related conditions in other sports. Gymnastics has the "twisties", archery has "target panic", and terms like "choking" and the more general "mental block" are used for other sports.
Paralysis-by-analysis is a more general term, describing an individual or group process where overanalysing or overthinking a situation causes forward motion or decision-making to become "paralysed", resulting in no solution or course of action being decided upon within a natural time frame.
Research into paralysis-by-analysis and some things like "the yips" tend to find that those suffering from the phenomena become focused on performance based elements which should be things they do automatically. The pre-frontal cortex over-monitors a skill that normally runs on autopilot, the motor system locks for a moment, and the athlete either stays rooted or makes a visibly late move.
What does this look like in goalkeeping as opposed to age- or injury-related declined?
In some situations, you're not going to be able to tell the difference, but there are things which can suggest one is more likely than the other, or which are indicative of one over the other.
Age-related decline is more often seen as a slow decline in particular parts of form and ability, with the mental game often still being sharp and correct, but the physical capabilities falling short. Injury-related could also be a slow decline, especially if chronic pain becomes involved. Their mental game is still sharp, but their body is not as capable as it was when they were younger. As goalkeepers tend to hit their prime later and continue playing for longer, age-related decline in many situations (without significant injury) wouldn't be expected until a bit older than their outfield peers, sometimes as late as mid-thirties.
Paralysis-by-analysis or a goalkeeper version of "the yips", on the other hand, would be far more likely to present as hesitancy in making decisions, a reduction in communication, second-guessing actions leading to stuttering movement, either making decisions too late and causing themselves problems or conversely almost rashly charging out to try and force through the indecision. But the goalkeeper would still retain their physical capabilities, though they would be inconsistently applied.
For example, let's say there's a high claim action required in the box with an incoming cross. Age-related or injury-related decline would look more like a keeper spotting the danger in time, tracking the trajectory of the high ball correctly and running into position, but despite their visible effort consistently not being fast enough to get there or strong enough to jump high enough to receive the ball.
"The yips" equivalent, on the other hand, would more see the goalkeeper hesitating or second-guessing, taking a step forward, pausing, then either committing but now too late so there's a scramble, or getting stuck with indecision and rooted to the spot. Communication will also drop off in many cases because the keeper's internal monologue is filled with "don't mess this up, don't screw up again" on some form of repeat, reducing mental capacity for external communication.
There have been other goalkeepers who have experienced similar things. Liverpool's Simon Mignolet spoke quite openly about his experience of the goalkeeper yips and the impact it had on him, Joe Hart suffered even more so at both Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspurs with a number of high-profile mistakes, and David de Gea's troubles at Manchester United led to numerous discussions about his crisis of confidence. So it's a known phenomenon in goalkeeping. Goalkeeping is a position that has unique psychological and mental wellbeing challenges; unfortunately it's also a position in a sport that isn't always the most forward thinking and understanding about mental health in general.
And Manu Zinsberger?
I don't watch all of Arsenal's games, but I have seen a fair few and I've also watched Zinsberger in goal for Austria a few times this year. Firstly, Zinsberger is only 29 so is unlikely based on age alone to be in age-related decline of form for a goalkeeper. She hasn't suffered a notable injury that has been made publicly available, to my knowledge, recently either.
Watching her in games, she is certainly still physically capable of explosive run-outs, high claims, and reaches reasonable vertical height when she does jump or dive. In goal for Austria, she has made some genuinely impressive reflex shot-stopping saves that show her reflexes on autopilot do still work quickly. All of which suggest the physical ability is still there and is not in age- or injury-related decline. At the same time, there are also instances of her demonstrating the application of goalkeeper skills correctly, like making herself big in the right way, recognising that a charge-down or a run-out is needed, correct positioning, reading danger and calling her team-mates attention to unmarked threats. So that is there, too.
But it's all incredibly inconsistently applied and very often delayed due to moments of visible hesitancy and stuttering.
Her micro-decisions often let her down and she has become well-known for becoming rooted on the spot, almost being a perfect visual representation of paralysis-by-analysis. But those moments are also intermingled with moments of almost recklessness; in the recent Brighton game she charged out a few times to make clearances and didn't seem more confident necessarily for doing so. Almost as though the efforts to make those decisions was an attempt to override the mental blocks that had led to failures in earlier.
It also seems that her communication has dropped off, based on how teammates are reacting to her at times on the pitch and watching how she seems to speak less on the field, and this could fit with the earlier example of internal narrative being so overwhelming it leaves little space for and disrupts external communication.
In addition, Zinsberger has undergone some significant personal and family events in the past year or so, which can add to emotional and mental load and can worse phenomena like "the yips". Clearly, based on how upset she has been seen after matches, the current situation is weighing heavily on her.
I don't know for certain what's going on with Zinsberger, but there are observable indications that some kind of mental block is at play rather than physical ability decline. And mental blocks like these can be difficult to overcome. Not impossible, but difficult.
Some final thoughts
As I said at the top, this isn't an attempt to argue that Arsenal fans can't be frustrated by Zinsberger's performances. Just because there might be a reason or contributing factors (and this theorising may or may not be right) doesn't make the losses or goals conceded any easier to take. You'd like to think that it would be a given that verbally abusing her directly is completely out of order, but with a small proportion of football fans, that isn't the case. But frustrations and discussions about her performance and criticism (without going and dragging her into it directly) are all understandable.
It also doesn't mean Zinsberger should stay at Arsenal. In fact, many of the male goalkeepers who suffered with the yips or a mental block only found relief and recovery once they left and started afresh somewhere else.
That could be the best next step for Zinsberger, as difficult as it would be to leave, for a number of reasons:
The tactical role required by Arsenal seems to amplify the stressors - For example, the sweeper-keeper demands when hesitation is a key issue can lead to problems, if a team is playing a higher line then a goalkeeper is going to be more often put in 1 v 1 situations where micro-decisions have to made quickly and confidently.
Public narrative has turned toxic - A proportion of any fanbase in football is always awful. (in any fandom of anything, actually. It's referred to as the 1% Theory in fandoms. I suspect it's higher than 1% in football fanspaces, perhaps 2-5%, but that's another topic). Arsenal have a large fanbase so that proportion for them equates to a larger raw number of people. Some of the comments Zinsberger has had under posts are awful, as are some of the things shouted at her. It is not easy to shrug that off.
Alternative keeper is in form, so a bench spell becomes prolonged rather than restorative - A temporary benching can be beneficial for mental block, a long term one only worsens it and DVD is currently Arsenal's set first choice keeper.
Sometimes a fresh start can allow a player to step into a new type of support and focus on that from the beginning. The big problem is that a lot of women's teams lack resources that men's teams have and may not have the facilities and quality or availability of support that is needed. It is an area that women's teams will need to keep working towards as the sport grows.
However, if Arsenal wants Zinsberger to stay, I think they really need to look into alternative approaches or trying something different, because whatever is happening at the moment does not seem to be working. Continuing as things currently are it isn't good for anyone, including Zinsberger.

Alphonse's Build
Tumblr media
My second generation Metal Sonic is mostly meant to be a medical robot, that's his priority programing. But he has the ability to ignore or even rewrite his programming as he wants. His code is more like a guideline to him, a set of morals that he tries to follow. As he's gotten older though and more bold, his previous priority of fleeing battles is no longer something he follows despite the fact he is NOT a battle bot. But I digress...
His current body is built to mimic an organic's in placement of parts save for his engine. But with the foxes (Tails & Nine) working on his replacement, there is no promise of what will or wont remain. The following is a list of what each of his parts contain and/or how they function.
Fingers– Al's "claws" are actually his surgical tools. Built in scalpels (all four fingers on each hand) and syringes (both thumbs) that he has learned to weaponize when threatened. They automatically sanitize when retracted, his fingers generate a high electrical charge to burn away any microbes. This is the same reason why he can electrify his claws.
Hands– His palms carry defibrillators that can also be over charged to fire off shots of electricity similar to the original Metal Sonic's cannon but he can use it in both hands and it's a smaller more ball like projectile. Thus he can fire it in quick succession if needed.
Wrists– His wrists contain spools of surgical thread (left wrist) and various sterile sewing needles (right wrist) for stitches.
Left Forearm- Contains a rolled up surgical gown, surgical masks, and gloves. These are for when a surgery is invasive and he needs an assistant. These items are given to the one selected to assist so they can be dressed and ready for the procedure.
Right Forearm- Contains common first aid. Bandages of various size, burn salve, tweezers, gauze, sterilizing wipes, medical spray (for rashes, sunburn, and bug bites), and individually wrapped brightly colored gummy goldfish. The Solarian equal to getting lollipops at the doctor's office.
Left Upper Arm- Contains several rotating racks of vials containing various antimicrobial treatments and vaccinations.
Right Upper Arm- Contains several rotating racks of various containers holding many magical components (unicorn blood, healing water, powdered dragon scales, etc) for harder to treat conditions or injuries.
Shoulders- The only armored place on his current body. Contain the cockatrice venom containers used as fuel for his engine, a little goes a LONG way. Highly flammable if broken or leaking, hence the thicker metal here.
Torso- Contains his engine, power core, and two gas canisters. Engine is built extremely slim, much more advanced than any Eggtech in most worlds. It is silenced and thus makes a quiet "vvvvv" sound when active, extremely fast as a Metal Sonic should be. Power core is locked in place by a vacuum seal, cannot be removed unless Al is shut down or he chooses to disable the seal. The canisters are hooked up to his life support systems. One contains oxygen, the other a sleeping gas.
Back- Also contains engine but more important are his "spines". Hardened sheets of retractable metal that surprisingly have a razor edge when extended. Used most often in his own homing attacks in combat.
Neck- Contains tubing and wires for life support systems.
Quills- Hide the mask for the medical gases and life support. Can be opened in back to access Al's computer components. Easily damaged.
Head- Contains all hardware and software needed for Al to function. Despite any damages, nothing ever seems to effect his functionality. Eyes capable of scanning surroundings and patients in several different ways. X-Ray, Bioscan, heat signature, and night vision can all be linked together to scan anything even through walls and whole buildings in order to find trapped civilians.

The Evolution of Smart Homes: Merging Technology with Modern Construction
Tumblr media
Automation is among the most important features of smart homes. Through connected devices, such as lighting, security, thermostats, and entertainment systems, home automation enables people to manage a variety of aspects of their living space. These gadgets may now speak with one another thanks to the development of the Internet of Things (IoT), which offers a smooth user encounter. For example, smart thermostats may learn user preferences to maximize energy use, and smart lighting systems can change brightness based on occupancy. In addition to improving comfort, these integrations result in notable energy savings.
How Modern Construction is Being Transformed by Technology
1. Intelligent Construction Materials With the advent of intelligent building materials, technology is completely changing the way that homes are built. top construction company in trivandrum. These materials improve modern homes’ efficiency, sustainability, and longevity. Among the examples are:
Self-Repair Concrete: A kind of concrete that uses healing chemicals derived from bacteria to automatically patch cracks. best Windows with integrated sensors that modify tint levels in response to sunlight intensity are known as energy-efficient windows since they use less electricity.
High-performance insulation materials that control interior temperature and boost energy efficiency are known as smart insulation materials.
2. Systems for Home Automation Home automation technologies installed in contemporary homes simplify daily chores. Among the most often used automation systems are: Smart Lighting: Voice assistants or smartphone apps can be used to remotely operate LED lights and smart lighting systems. Climate Automation Control: By learning user preferences, smart thermostats like Ecobee and Google Nest maximise energy use. Voice-Activated Assistants: AI-driven assistants such as Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa make it simple for users to operate smart gadgets.
3. Integration of IoT in Residential Building
The development of smart houses has been greatly influenced by the Internet of Things (IoT). Numerous household systems are connected via IoT-enabled devices, allowing for smooth automation and communication. Among the examples are: Appliances that are connected include washing machines, ovens, and refrigerators that can be watched over and managed from a distance. Motion sensors, biometric door locks, and AI-powered surveillance cameras are examples of smart security systems that improve security. Water and Energy Monitoring Systems: sensors and smart meters that monitor electricity and water use to encourage sustainability.
4. Artificial Intelligence in Home Design AI is becoming increasingly important.in the building and design of homes. architects and interior designers in trivandrum. AI-powered design software assists engineers and architects in producing floor layouts that maximize energy and space use. Furthermore, chatbots driven by AI improve the user experience by helping homeowners solve smart home appliances.
Principal Advantages of Smart Homes
1. Sustainability & Energy Efficiency Smart houses use energy-efficient materials and clever automation to reduce energy waste. Among the noteworthy advantages are:
Lower Energy Bills: Homeowners can save money on power by using smart lighting and thermostat systems. Integration of Solar Energy: For the use of renewable energy, many smart houses integrate solar panels and battery storage systems. Water Conservation: To maximise water use, smart irrigation systems keep an eye on the weather. 2. Improved Safety & Security One of the main benefits of smart home technology is security. Superior security
Home design has long placed a high priority on security, and smart houses’ cutting-edge security systems elevate this importance even further. Smart locks, security cameras, and motion detectors have supplanted traditional locks and alarms. These devices may send homeowners real-time notifications even if they are located far away. Artificial intelligence (AI) is also used by many smart security systems to distinguish between normal activity and possible threats, which lowers false alarms and improves overall safety.
Smart technology integration in construction goes beyond security and automation. Living sustainably has gained significant attention, with smart homes leading the way in this trend. Smart grids, solar panels, and energy-efficient appliances help homeowners lower their electricity costs and lessen their carbon footprint. Smart materials, like self-healing concrete and energy-efficient insulation, are used in many contemporary structures to increase the longevity and sustainability of homes.
Resource conservation is also aided by intelligent water management technologies, such as automated irrigation and leak detection. architects and interior designers in trivandrum. Because they enable users to operate devices with basic speech commands, voice-controlled assistants — like Apple Siri, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa — have become an essential component of smart homes. People, especially those with impairments, can more easily manage their living areas with this hands-free approach. AI-powered personal assistants can also respond to enquiries, send out reminders, and even control timetables, adding even more convenience.
Tumblr media
Making sure that smart houses are future-proof is one of the difficulties in incorporating technology into architecture. Because technology is always changing, homes constructed today need to be flexible enough to take advantage of new developments in the future. These days, modular solutions that enable homeowners to change their systems without undergoing significant renovations are the focus of builders and architects. Additionally, to prevent future compatibility problems, interoperability across various smart devices and platforms is essential.
The part It is impossible to ignore the use of AI and machine learning in smart homes. Predictive analytics, which can foresee user demands and automate tasks appropriately, is made possible by these technologies. AI-driven HVAC systems, for instance, can modify temperature settings in response to human behavior and weather conditions, guaranteeing maximum comfort while using the least amount of energy. By examining trends and identifying irregularities that may point to possible security breaches, machine learning algorithms can help enhance home security.
Smart cities, where entire communities are planned with interconnected systems, have emerged as a result of the incorporation of smart technology into building. An urban environment that is more sustainable and efficient is facilitated by automated public services, smart grids, and traffic control systems. Smart home adoption will increase as public and private sectors make investments in smart infrastructure. keep rising.
Although there is no denying the advantages of smart homes, there are drawbacks as well that must be considered. Because connected gadgets gather so much information about user behavior, privacy issues are still a big problem. To safeguard homeowners from potential cyberthreats, it is imperative to implement strong cybersecurity measures and data encryption. Furthermore, constructing a smart home may initially cost more than building a regular home, but the long-term energy and maintenance savings frequently make the investment worthwhile.
Home décor is a reflection of culture, lifestyle, and personality that goes beyond simple paint color’s and furniture placement. Selecting the design style that best fits your home might be overwhelming with so many options. Every interior design style, from rustic charm to modern minimalism, has its own distinct traits, inspirations, and visual appeal. We’ll go over some of the most well-liked home décor trends in this guide, outlining their essential components and how to use them in your house.
The construction sector, which provides a wide range of services to meet the demands of residential, commercial, and industrial clients, is vital to the development of the modern world. From early planning and design to project completion and maintenance, a competent construction business offers comprehensive solutions. Whether
In summary, the development of smart houses marks a substantial advancement in contemporary living. Technology is being incorporated into building to make homes more pleasant, safe, and effective. The future of smart houses is bright as long as AI, IoT, and sustainable materials continue to improve.

3. Accessibility: Quick and Reliable Draw
When carrying your Beretta, quick access to your firearm can be crucial in high-stress situations. A holster that hinders your draw can put you at risk, so choosing one that allows for a smooth, reliable draw is essential.
Easy Draw Design: The best holsters are designed to hold their shape even after the firearm is drawn, allowing for smooth re-holstering and a quick, snag-free draw. Kydex holsters excel in this area since their rigid structure doesn’t collapse once the gun is removed. The Vedder LightTuck IWB Holster is a fantastic option that offers an effortless draw and immediate re-holstering.
Adjustable Cant: Cant refers to the angle at which your firearm sits in the holster. Some carriers prefer a straight-up draw, while others find that an angled cant allows for faster access. Holsters like the Concealment Express IWB Kydex Holster offer adjustable cant, giving you the flexibility to position your Beretta exactly how you like it.
Appendix vs. Hip Carry: For some Beretta carriers, appendix carry (positioning the holster in front of your waistband) offers the fastest draw, while others prefer hip carry (positioning on the side or behind the hip). Appendix carry holsters, such as the Tier 1 Concealed Axis Elite, are popular for their speed and accessibility, but the best position is often a matter of personal preference.
4. Holster Types and Best Uses
Your choice of holster style is largely dependent on how you intend to carry your Beretta pistol. Here’s a quick breakdown of popular holster types and their best uses:
Inside-the-Waistband (IWB) Holsters: These holsters sit inside your waistband, offering maximum concealment. IWB holsters like the StealthGear USA Ventcore are excellent for everyday concealed carry, allowing you to keep your Beretta hidden while ensuring quick access.
Outside-the-Waistband (OWB) Holsters: OWB holsters are worn outside the waistband, making them less concealable but more comfortable and accessible. They are ideal for open carry or range use. The Blackhawk Serpa CQC is a widely trusted OWB holster known for its durability and quick-draw capabilities.

Sistemi di sicurezza attivi e passivi: come migliorare la sicurezza stradale
La sicurezza stradale è un tema importante, che coinvolge tutti i cittadini. Gli incidenti stradali sono una delle principali cause di morte e lesioni gravi nel mondo, e ogni anno uccidono milioni di persone e ne feriscono milioni di altre. Esistono due tipi principali di sistemi di sicurezza che possono aiutare a ridurre il rischio di incidenti stradali e le lesioni gravi: i sistemi di sicurezza attivi e i sistemi di sicurezza passivi. Sistemi di sicurezza attivi I sistemi di sicurezza attivi sono dispositivi che aiutano il conducente a prevenire gli incidenti. Alcuni esempi includono: - ABS (Anti-lock Braking System): impedisce il blocco delle ruote durante la frenata, migliorando la manovrabilità del veicolo e la distanza di arresto. - ESP (Electronic Stability Program): stabilizza il veicolo in caso di perdita di aderenza, evitando sbandamenti e ribaltamenti - TCS (Traction Control System): previene lo slittamento delle ruote motrici, migliorando la trazione e la manovrabilità del veicolo. - ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control): mantiene automaticamente la distanza di sicurezza dal veicolo che precede, intervenendo sui freni o sull'acceleratore. - LDWS (Lane Departure Warning System): avvisa il conducente se il veicolo sta uscendo dalla corsia di marcia. - AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking): frena automaticamente il veicolo in caso di collisione imminente. Questi funzionano rilevando potenziali pericoli e intervenendo per evitarli o ridurne la gravità. Ad esempio, l'ABS rileva quando le ruote si stanno bloccando e rilascia brevemente la pressione dei freni per ripristinare la trazione. L'ESP rileva quando il veicolo sta perdendo aderenza e interviene sui freni o sulla potenza del motore per stabilizzarlo. Sistemi di sicurezza passivi I sistemi di sicurezza passivi sono dispositivi che riducono le conseguenze di un incidente, proteggendo le persone e i veicoli. Alcuni esempi includono: - Cinture di sicurezza: trattengono i passeggeri in caso di incidente, riducendo il rischio di lesioni. - Airbag: proteggono il torace, la testa e il volto dei passeggeri in caso di incidente. - Poggiatesta: proteggono il collo dei passeggeri in caso di incidente. - Struttura del veicolo a deformazione controllata: assorbe l'energia dell'impatto, riducendo la forza trasmessa ai passeggeri. I sistemi di sicurezza passivi entrano in gioco dopo che si è verificato un incidente. Ad esempio, le cinture di sicurezza trattengono i passeggeri al loro posto, riducendo il rischio di essere sbalzati fuori dal veicolo. Gli airbag si gonfiano per proteggere il torace, la testa e il volto dei passeggeri. I poggiatesta aiutano a prevenire le lesioni al collo in caso di impatto posteriore. E la struttura del veicolo a deformazione controllata assorbe l'energia dell'impatto, riducendo la forza trasmessa ai passeggeri. L'importanza L'uso di sistemi di sicurezza attivi e passivi può contribuire a ridurre il numero di incidenti stradali e di lesioni gravi. Secondo i dati dell'Istituto per la sicurezza stradale (IIS), l'uso di sistemi di sicurezza attivi e passivi può ridurre il rischio di morte in caso di incidente del 61%. È importante che tutti i conducenti siano consapevoli della loro importanza e ne facciano uso. Le case automobilistiche stanno rendendo sempre più comuni i sistemi di sicurezza attivi e passivi, ma è importante che i conducenti siano informati sulle caratteristiche di questi e su come utilizzarli correttamente.

Simply fold the door back and open up a kitchen or living room to the great outdoors. This type of transition enables you to entertain family and friends both inside and outside. Enjoy an al fresco meal or relax on your patio – expanding your living space.
Add to Your Living Area Easily and Affordably A traditional swinging patio door can take up more space than you’d like, thereby making it difficult to arrange furniture or get around easily. However, bi-fold doors can fold in on themselves when you open them. So, you can increase your living space automatically. Not only does this give you more flexibility, it allows you to make the most of each square foot of space.
Let the Natural Light Stream into Your Home Bi-fold doors boast large panels of glass, so you’ll receive plenty of natural sunlight into your home. Not only does this create an airy and bright environment, it also reduces any dependence on artificial lights. As a result, you can reduce what you spend on energy.
Moreover, a bi-fold door installation expands like a concertina with the glass panels expanding or folding so you can look out on your landscape or garden without distraction. You can appreciate nature anytime inside your home.
Pay Less on Energy As noted, installing bi-fold doors will also keep your utilities lower. Because the doors usually feature double or triple glazing as well as insulated frames, you’ll stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. You can enjoy the benefits of the doors without sacrificing indoor comfort.
Enhance Safety and Security High-quality upgraded bifold door designs are made with advanced locks, giving you extra peace of mind with respect to safety and security.
Installing Bi-Fold Doors: The Basic Steps Once you review the advantages of these space-saving doors, you’ll want to prepare for the installation process. Below is a quick overview about how to make the transition.
1. Plan the Placement and Take the Measurements Your first consideration, when planning an installation, is where you want to locate the doors. Most people install them in an area of their house that opens, perhaps, to an outdoor grill or kitchen area. Measure the spot where you want to add the doors, figuring in an extra space required for framing and tracking.
2. Get the Material Once you measure the installation space for the doors, you can choose your bi-fold system. The doors should fit snugly into the parameters set for the opening. Select a material, like liquid wood or reinforced vinyl – a material that aligns with your design plans – aesthetically and environmentally.
3. Prep the Installation Site To prep the site where you plan to install the doors, remove any existing doors or obstacles. You may also want to prepare the surface of the floor at the site, making sure its level and cleaning away any debris.
4. Arrange for Installation Next, you’ll arrange for installation – a process that involves 5 basic steps.
Your installer will ensure that the assembled door frame features all the necessary hinges and tracks and that they’re properly placed. For instance, the top track of the door will be aligned and secured according to the manufacturing specs – leveled and properly fastened into place. Each of the bi-fold panels will come with corresponding hardware. Therefore, the installation involves attaching a swing arm or hinge, and connecting each panel accordingly. The panels are positioned within the track and then attached to any required hardware. This step continues until each panel is fully placed and intact. Once the doors are installed, the installer will test the doors’ functionality, opening and closing the doors while checking for any problems with gliding or alignment. They’ll then make any adjustments to ensure the doors open and close smoothly. These adjustments might include loosening or tightening a screw or two, adjusting a hinge, or realigning a track. Once any adjustments are made, the remaining parts, such as floor guides or door stops are secured, gaps are filled, and the perimeter of the doors is sealed, if needed, with weather stripping or caulk. This improves air tightness and insulation.

Notes: Here it is part 2 of the story you all wanted. There will be a part 3 because this was getting a bit long and we didn’t quite address all the questions you might have. Special thanks to @luvsherleafs​ for proofing this, so you guys could all read it now. Happy reading!
Tumblr media
The minute you walked out of the restroom, you took a deep breath, then hurried down the hallway as fast as your heeled feet could carry you. If you were in the main room with everyone, you knew Jamie wouldn’t approach you. There were too many eyes and ears around for his liking and yours for that matter. Once you rounded the corner, you knew you were safe. It took all of about one minute to find Aaron; he was over chatting to Tyler and you really had no inclination to join the conversation. Just then you saw Jamie, enter the room. His eyes locked with yours, and he inclined his head, signaling for you to meet him back out in the hall. Instead, you just glared at him and headed straight toward Aaron.
When you got to his side, his conversation with Tyler stopped, as Tyler asked. “You ok (Y/N)?” Aaron’s back was facing the main room, so he couldn’t see Jamie standing in the background, but Tyler could.
“Yeah, I have a bit of a headache. Do you mind if we get out of here?”
“Sure, let me just go tell Dave we’re leaving.”
As Aaron headed off to go talk to one of the trainers, Tyler placed a hand on your shoulder. “Headache huh? Seems like it might be something else. Are you sure you’re ok?” His eyes glanced in his teammate's direction, and you turned to see Jamie back with his date. Though his eyes were still fixated on you.
“No, I’m not ok. Why didn’t someone tell me he got traded back? I just…I never expected this.” When Jamie had left for Pittsburgh, you kept tabs on him for the first couple of months. He seemed to fit in really well with their system and from what you could tell, he was thriving in all other aspects of life. It got too hard to watch at some point and you just stopped following him altogether, needing to move on with your life.
“I’m sorry (Y/N). I thought you knew.” Silently you shook your head. “Do you need me to talk to him? Tell him to at least stop glaring at you?”
A dry chuckle escaped your lips. “No, we’ve talked and I have nothing more to say. It’s obvious he’s moved on. Besides, I mean…there’s Aaron too.”
“What do you mean he’s moved on?” Sometimes Tyler could be dense, you’d learned that back when you and Jamie were dating, especially when it came to relationships. Hell, his personal life was a walking disaster.
“He’s here with someone.”
“Who? That blonde? She’s…”
“Ready to go.” You didn’t hear anything else, Tyler was going to say as Aaron came up. His hand cupped your elbow, ready to lead you out of the building.
“Yeah, I’m ready. I’ll talk to you soon Seggy.”
“Yeah, ok (Y/N). Take care.” With that, you and Aaron headed out of the building. The moment the fresh air hit you; you breathed a sigh of relief.
“Are you sure it’s just a headache, you look a little pale?” Aaron was so sweet, he truly was, but at the moment all you wanted to do was put on a comfy pair of sweats, take out a pint of ice cream and curl up in a blanket. It wouldn’t solve anything but it would sure make your life a bit better.
“Yeah, it’ll be fine. I think I just need to sleep it off or something.”
“So then I take it you don’t want to come over to my place tonight.” That was the last thing that you wanted. You’d literally just had your brains fucked out of you by your ex-boyfriend; the last thing you needed was your current boyfriend, if you could call him that, trying to get in your pants. You must have made some expression on your face, for the next thing you knew he was following that statement up with. “I mean we don’t have to do anything. We could just cuddle.”
“Yeah, um,…” You stalled searching for the right thing to say, but only coming up with something that didn’t even sound like an excuse. “Maybe not tonight.”
“I understand.” The rest of the ride was super quiet. Aaron had turned the radio off, in hopes to help your non-existent headache, which really was starting to materialize the more you thought about what had just happened in the bathroom with Jamie. What were you going to do? Nothing was the answer that shouted back at you, along with he gave you up. Then why did you still have all these feelings for him? Of course, you were physically attracted to him, god who wouldn’t be. His height in combination with those muscles just did things to you. It was more than just physical attraction though. You couldn’t forget all the times that he just made you laugh, or how many nights you would just sit on the couch or bed and cuddle. But there were also the times, that things hadn’t been that great at work or with your family, and he would listen to every word you said and wipe away every tear you shed. Another part of your brain decided to chime and remind you of how easy it was for him to forget about all those times, as he left you behind.
You closed your eyes, willing your brain to just stop thinking for a moment. Pinching the bridge of your nose you tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to flood over. A few deep breaths and you weren’t feeling any better, in fact, you felt half sick to your stomach. Thankfully, the car came to a stop and as it did, you whipped off your seatbelt and jumped out of the car; emptying the contents of your stomach onto your lawn. “Shit,” you heard Aaron say, as he shut the engine off and came rushing to your side. He reached it in no time, wrapping his arm around your waist, as your stomach seized again. “Damn it, why didn’t you tell me you were sick?”
Because in actuality, you really weren’t; it had to be just the stress of tonight, but there was no way you could say that to Aaron. Taking a few deep breaths, you finally felt your stomach start to settle. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think, I was going to do that.”
“Christ (Y/N), there’s nothing for you to be sorry about. People get sick all the time.” His arm still supported you at his side, as you slowly stood upright. “Let’s get you inside.” Gingerly, the two of you made your way to your front door. It took you a minute to shuffle through your purse and find the key. You tossed your shoes and started to make your way over to the couch. “Can I get you something? Tea? Or maybe a ginger ale?” It was sweet of him to ask, but honestly, you just wanted to be left alone.
“No, I’m sure I’ll be fine. I just need to sit here a minute and then I’m going to go grab a shower and go to bed.” You were trying to put it in a nice way so that maybe he would take the hint and leave. “I’m sorry for everything tonight.” You added, for you truly were, for not only this but the things he didn’t know about.
“It’s fine babe.” He came over to stand beside you, obviously not taking your hint to leave. “Maybe I should stay for a bit, just in case you're sick again or something.”
“I wouldn’t want you to catch anything though in case I’m contagious.” Well, that lie surely fell off your tongue smoothly.
He took a step back then, not a big one, but one you noticed all the same. “Well, that’s true. Call me if you need anything or if you get worse.”
“I will. Thank you so much, Aaron. Again, I’m so sorry about tonight.”
“Don’t think about it, it’s fine. I’d give you a kiss goodnight and all…but..” He took a step towards you this time, gently patting you on the head. “Get some rest, and call me in the morning and tell me how you feel.”
“Ok.” He made his way to the door then. After about a minute, you got up and headed to the bathroom, needing to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth out before you did anything else. Your nerves were still tangled in a million pieces, but you’d finally calmed yourself down so that you didn’t think you would vomit again. While you were there, you took off all your makeup and got out of your dress. You still wanted a shower and were just about ready to turn the water on when the doorbell sounded.
Automatically, you assumed that Aaron must have forgotten something, so you just threw a towel around you, knowing he’d understand why you were getting cleaned up. When you opened the door, you decided to forgo any greeting and say, “Did you forget…?” The word ‘something’ died on your lips, as well as anything else you were going to say when you saw Jamie standing at your front door.
Jamie stood there with his mouth open when he saw you; though he was the first one of you to recover. “I’m pretty sure I remember every inch of what you’re trying to cover up.” A full second passed while you stood there shocked from his words, then you grabbed the door and went to slam it in his face, only his foot and large hand stopped it before you could finish what you initially started. “(Y/N) please, we need to talk.”
“I don’t think we have anything to say to one another. What happened back there was…well, it was a moment of weakness on my part. So, you can just go.”
“Well maybe you don’t have anything to say, but I do. You don’t have to talk, just listen.” When you didn’t say anything, he added. “Can I come in already? Or are you happy letting all your neighbors see you like this?” He motioned to your body and the state of undress it was in. Stepping aside, you allowed him to come inside before shutting the door behind him.
“Alright, make it quick.” You folded your arms across your chest and realized your mistake immediately when his eyes focused on your breasts. It would’ve been easy to run back to your bedroom and grab your robe to put on, but you didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of knowing that his stare made you uneasy. Well, maybe the word uneasy wasn’t quite right, for you felt your body respond to his heated gaze.
“Jesus, are you literally going to stand there in only a towel?”
Well, at least you were affecting him as much as he was you. “Does this bother you.”
“No,” He took a step towards you. “It makes me want to rip it off you and continue what we started back there.”
Shit, this was not working out how you thought it would. Just the mention of the things you’d done not an hour ago with him, had you feeling damp and needy. Closing your eyes, you tried to get control over your body. Not thirty minutes ago you were hurling on your lawn over the things you did with this man, now you were thinking about doing them all over again. You needed to think about something else, anything else; yet somehow you couldn’t. When you opened your eyes back up, there he stood mere inches from you instead of feet away. He still smelled the same, that rich spicy scent of after shaved combined with something that was purely Jamie. It was completely intoxicating. Mix that with his piercing blue-eyed stare and you could feel your knees going weak. Literally, you had to shake yourself from where your thoughts were going. “What do you want Jamie?” You finally asked, in an effort to change the subject.
He took a deep breath, gaining some control over himself. “I want to talk about us.”
“There is no us.”
“Well, maybe I don’t accept that.” He blew out a frustrated breath.
“You don’t accept that?” Repeating the words that he had just spoke, with an incredulous tone in your voice. Anger bubbled inside you. “You don’t accept that…” You said it one more time. “How the fuck can you not? You’re the one who walked out on me over a year ago. You.” Pointing a finger directly at him. “Not me, you. You didn’t call me or text me. It’s been a year…a fucking year.” You started to pace, then turned back to him. “Were you even going to tell me you were back in Dallas if I hadn’t seen you tonight?” He started to say something but you halted anything he would utter. “You know what, don’t even answer that, because it doesn’t matter. The end result is still the same. There is no us Jamie. Do you hear me?”
“Damn it (Y/N), would you just stop?” He grabbed your upper arms to halt your pacing. “Just stop.” You were both breathing hard. “I still love you. I never stopped loving you.” You weren’t entirely sure but you think your heart stopped beating at that moment. Like full on quit, not just that flip flop thing that it did the first time he told you he loved you. This, this was different, and you didn’t know how you felt about it.
“You can’t say that Jamie.”
“And why the hell can’t I. It’s true (Y/N). I loved you the day you walked out that door of my apartment and I love you right now.” A tear slid down your cheek, the problem was you didn’t know if it was from frustration or from knowing that he still loved you. He pulled you in tight to his chest, softly stroking your hair, as he whispered. “Just let me love you (Y/N) that’s all I want.” He pressed gentle kisses to your head. It was too much, and you felt your resolve slip as his hands glided up to draw your face to his. The kiss was so tender, nothing like what you shared a little bit ago. He was tongue softly caressed yours, and at that moment he felt so vulnerable that more tears slid down your face. How could this man walk back into your life and just completely undo you?
You felt yourself weakening, as your hands slid up his rock hard chest to entwine around his neck. Part of your brain screamed that this would resolve nothing, but you shut that side off and gave into the sensation of being back in Jamie’s loving arms. His lips continued their assault on yours, as his hands traveled down your towel-clad back to cup your ass; pressing you closer to him. You pulled back from the kiss needing air. “Don’t pull away,” his gentle whisper called out to you. “(Y/N), I need you so much.” You felt that same need deep inside you, all the way down in your bones, yet there was so much that needed to be solved between the two of you; it caused your head and heart to be conflicted. “Please.” That one word was your undoing and without another word said, your mouth was back on his, kissing him as if you’d die if didn’t.
He bent, scooping you up underneath your legs, never breaking the kiss, then carefully carried you back to your bedroom. Gently he laid you down on the mattress, only then did he release your lips to gaze down at you. With tentative fingers, you grabbed the towel where you had it neatly tucked in. Your fingers trembled, whether from need or hesitance you weren’t sure, as you opened the cloth to reveal your naked body. His eyes glazed over as stared down at you. “You’re so beautiful.” He slid his suit jacket off, and let it fall to the floor. “I used to dream about this at night; seeing you like this again.” It was hard not to squirm beneath his heated gaze, but you lay there still, as he undid the buttons on his shirt. “My dreams didn’t do you justice.:   He untucked the tails of the shirt from his pants then, first the left, then the right. As it slid from his body, you saw his bare chest and felt yourself grow wet. Your fingers itched to trace his tattoos, that were on his arm; the lines etched into your memory just as they were his skin.
He undid his belt then, sliding his pants and boxers down in one fail swoop; his cock springing free. The length of his was hard up against him. You wet your lips in anticipation of what was to come. He leaned down then, his naked body pressing up against you. His face was inches from yours. “I’ve waited so long for this.” With those words his lips were on yours, kissing you senseless. His tongue, tangled with yours, as he slowly made love to you with his mouth. It was not like the hot and hurried sex of before. This time Jamie, was soft and languid; taking his time to worship you.
His mouth moved down to your neck, where he nibbled on your sensitive skin. Your hips rocked into his, and you felt how hard he was against your body. Sliding a hand between your body, he pressed the heel of his hand down on your cunt, the action had you panting with need. You couldn’t suppress the moan from your lips any longer and his name rolled off your tongue. “Jamie.”
“I know baby. I want you too.” His fingers slipped inside you then, just two long digits scissoring back and forth. When your back arched, he latched on to a hard-peaked nipple and suckled. The groan that left your mouth was purely primal. He quickened the pace at which his fingers moved and you panted with need. “That’s it baby, cum for me.” His thumb inched over to flick your nub, and your pussy tingled as the first twitches of your orgasm started. “Yes babe, that’s it. Let go.” He continued to play with your clit, and soon your orgasm hit; your pussy contracting around his sopping wet fingers. He milked the orgasm from you, letting your ride his fingers throughout it.
When he finally removed his hand, you whimpered from the loss. He brought his fingers to his mouth and sucked your juices off of them. “Mmm,” he whispered out, then pressed his lips to yours. You could taste your essences in the kiss. Jamie’s hand glided to your inner thigh, where his calloused fingers ran up and down, until he bent your one leg at the knee, the position spreading you wide. In the next instance, you felt his cock at your entrance; the head just slipping between your folds. He gently pressed forward, filling you inch by slow inch with his erect member. It felt like heaven, being stretched and filled by him, while his mouth searched the recess of your inner soul. You felt your heartache, whether it was from all that you had lost with this man the last year or that he was here with your now you didn’t know. When he bottomed out, pulling back from the kiss to stare deeply in your eyes. “I’ve missed you so much.” He still didn’t move, and your chest heaved with the emotional force of it all. You wanted to look away but you couldn’t. Every single emotion was written across his face at that moment. There was lust, which you knew he could see reflected in your own eyes. But there was also regret, for all the time that had passed not being together, you assumed. Most of all there was love, it was so easily etched into his features and it called out to you to love him in return, though you weren’t sure if that was even possible. The knowledge made you uncomfortable, and so without words, you wrapped both of your legs around his waist, pulling him deeper into. A silent plea for him to move, to give in to the lust that you were both feeling.
Jamie obliged you, as he started thrusting his hips in and out of you, building up a rhythm. Your hands clutched at his back, holding onto him as he rocked your bodies into a frantic pace. Moans and the sound of sex filled the room, as his balls slapped up against you. “Oh god,” you breathed out, feeling a second orgasm stir within you.
He slowed his speed then, and you whined as the pleasure you sought was just out of reach. “Tell me you missed this (Y/N)?” He pumped inside you, then pulled out so just his head remained inside your pussy. “Tell me you missed me.” Another thrust and he was fully impaled in you. “Tell me, baby.” He kept up the endless torture until you couldn’t take it any longer.
“Yes…yes…Jamie, yes.” You sounded needy even to your own ears.
“Yes, what baby?”
He held your hips down, as he thrust achingly slow into you this time. Tears were rolling down your cheeks now, both from the pleasure he withheld and the emotions reeling inside you. “I missed you, Jamie, …god help me I missed you.” He moved then with wild abandonment, pumping into your body with a force that shook that entire bed. He shifted your left leg so that it was on his shoulder, the angle allowing him to hit your g-spot with each thrust. It didn’t take long for the orgasm to wash over your body, your legs trembling with the intensity of it. “Oh god…JAMIE!” You screamed out, and with a few erratic pumps into your pussy, he followed you.
“Fuck...(Y/N),” He groaned out. The grip on your leg went slack and it fell back to the bed as Jamie collapsed on top of you. The weight of him felt delicious on top of you, and against your better judgment you held him close and shut your eyes; lightly running your nails up and down his spine, as you savored the moment. As you lay there, trying to get your breathing under control, the reality of what just happened hit you. This time you couldn’t blame your poor decision making on the fact that it was just a quick tryst in a bathroom. This was two people expressing their love for each other with their bodies. If you were being honest with yourself, you knew deep down you still had feelings for Jamie, you just didn’t know if they encompassed love. Then why had you just made love with him? It a question that the back of your mind kept asking.
There were too many unresolved questions where Jamie was concerned, and you needed them answered. The foremost question in your mind, was why he didn’t ask you to go with him to Pittsburgh? He rolled you both to your side then, breaking your train of thought. He flopped one of his long legs over the top of yours essentially trapping you in his embrace. It was so reminiscent of when you were together. After a few minutes, you eventually gave in to your better judgment and peeked your eyes open, to find Jamie staring at you  a shy smile playing across his face. So many things needed to be said, but you didn’t know where to start.
