A distressed homeowner contacted us complaining of a leaking sink. He said that the problem had been ongoing, and he had tried to tighten washers in an attempt to fix it.
While the homeowner considered himself a handyman around the house, the technician was dispatched to assess the situation. After checking to ensure the washer seat was clear of debris and that the fixture was tightly mounted to the sink, the technician discussed a full faucet replacement.
The homeowner did not want to lose any more money on excess water bills so he agreed to a replacement. The technician turned off the water supply to the home, unbolted the current faucet from the sink and set it to the side. He removed any remaining caulk before setting the new faucet on top of the base. Before applying new caulk, he made sure that the spray hose would line up in the new faucet. It was a tight fit, and the technician had to tweak the fixture so that the hose would be in sync. He then tightened the nuts to ensure that the new faucet was securely mounted on the sink. After reconnecting the water lines and turning the water on in the home, he tested the unit to make sure the installation was successful.
A homeowner contacted us with reports of a clogged sewer. Before we sent a technician to her home, she was able to tell us that she had recently purchased her home and that it was a few decades old.
Armed with this information, the technician asked the homeowner if she knew if she had clay tile pipes in her sewer system. She was not certain, but the technician explained that the roots of the trees in her yard may often be drawn to the warmth and moisture in the sewer lines; clay pipes provide a great way for roots to access the water.
After using a camera to view the pipes, the technician verified that the system was, indeed, made of clay and that the roots had been growing into the loose joints and tiny cracks that had developed over time. Fortunately, the damage had only been done in one area of the pipe, under a particularly large tree, so the technician was confident that he could cut through the roots to remove the clog. However, he suggested that the homeowner consider replacing her pipes with newer PVC or concrete pipes to prevent the situation from reoccurring in the future. The homeowner said she would consider it and contact us to schedule a future appointment.
A client called us to ask us if there was any way to unclog the drain in her garage. The strainer was not completely secured on the drain hole when she had been sweeping the garage early, and she reported that she had accidently swept leaves and grass clippings into the pipe.
The technician was dispatched to her location to assist her and to determine if the drain needed to be cleaned or if the clog was due to a blockage that was beyond repair.
Our technician first removed the strainer from the drain and fed a cable into the drain pipe. He was then able to plug in the power augur near the drain. The technician set it to function in a clockwise motion and turned on the unit before pushing into the drain. Once he located the source of resistance, he repeatedly pulled the cable out and placed it back into the drain until he was able to successfully break up the clog. He ensured the drain was clean by pouring three buckets of hot water into the pipe.
A business owner called to report that his company was not able to have hot water at his location. He was unsure of the cause, as the hot water had been working the previous day.
The technician met the owner to discuss the possible causes of the hot water malfunctioning. After ruling out leaking pipes, the technician determined that the gas line was either clogged or needed to be repaired.
Our technician used an inline camera to detect the source of the issue and found that both the pilot light needed to be relit and that the gas line required replacement. He explained to the customer that over time, the gas lines can become corroded and worn, thus negatively affecting the ability to provide hot water. While the customer was surprised that the technician needed to install a new gas line, he was relieved that we were able to solve the problem before a serious gas leak occurred.
A landlord received complaints from multiple tenants in his building that the water pressure was very poor.
Although he attributed the first report as merely a problem with a single faucet in the apartment and had previously called a repairman to inspect the unit, after he received calls from every client, he realized that the whole building needed to be checked.
The technician needed to narrow down the cause of the low water pressure. He first checked the water meter to ensure that it was turned on the whole way and that the repairman had not turned it back. He found that the meter itself was not completely on and mentioned this to the client. The client remembered that he had called a repairman to look at one apartment after he received the first call and realized that the repairman may have forgotten to turn it back on the rest of the way. The client thanked the technician for being thorough and narrowing down the cause of the low water pressure so quickly.
Our company received a call from a customer who was suffering from defective galvanized pipes throughout his home. He requested that we send a technician to repipe his entire house to ensure that his property and family would be safe from leaking pipes or other subsequent water damage.
In order to completely repipe the home, we needed to bypass the existing distribution system starting at the middle point between the interior and exterior pipes and finishing at different fixtures such as faucets and sinks throughout the house.
As our technician began to work, he noticed that the old pipes had developed many pinhole leaks that were resulting in mold growth in the walls. The technician reassured the homeowner that he did the right thing by calling a plumber because if he had let the problem go much longer, he would have been faced with expensive damages. In addition to replacing the pipes, the technician also repaired the places in the drywall where he had previously accessed the system.
A frustrated homeowner contacted us with a claim that her dishwasher simply wasn't getting her dishes clean. With four young children and an always-hungry husband, she was becoming increasingly frustrated with doing dishes three times to get them clean.
The customer had acknowledged that she had tried different soaps and tablets in an effort to clean her dishes, but nothing was working. The technician assessed the unit and determined that the dishwasher may not be receiving the proper amount of water.
To confirm his suspicion, the technician checked the electrical valve in the unit. This water inlet valve should open up to allow hot water into the unit when it is working properly. However, the technician found that the valve had failed, thus resulting in the lack of water to clean the cookware. The valve was old and beyond repair, so our technician was able to remove it and replace it with a new model. The homeowner already had dishes waiting to go, so the technician remained in her home to verify that the cycle would be completed properly.
We received a call from a client who was experiencing flood-like waters in her basement. She did not know where the water was coming from and was concerned for the protection of her valuables and furniture.
We know how important emergency issues can be so our 24 hour plumber responded within the hour. We surveyed the situation and determined that the excess water was the result of a clogged sewer drain. We asked the customer if she had been experiencing delaying flushes or prolonged refilling times when she used her toilet, and she reported that she had experienced difficulty earlier that day.
We used state-of-the-art equipment and technology to locate the source of the problem. Our technician found that the best method to find the clog was to thread a camera into the drainage system rather than begin digging in areas simply to guess where the issue began. After locating the clog, the technician was able to quickly and efficiently restore the sewer system with minimal damage to the customer's property. She was happy to know that we took the effort to accurately find the troubled area before we started to rectify the problem.
We received a call from a client requesting that our technicians install a sump pump in her home. She had been experiencing a leaking basement and had a feeling that the old sump pump was to blame.
We verified that the sump pump did, in fact, need to be replaced. The client was more than willing to allow us to complete the task because she did not want to have any more water leaking into her basement as she was making plans to furnish it.
Our technician determined where the utility, sewer and water lines were and designated a spot away from this area at the lowest point of the basement. The technician dug a whole to the manufacturer's recommended depth and put the liner into the hole. He then filled the hole with gravel and attached the discharge pipe to the sump pump. He finished the job by caulking to guard against leaking and adjusting the float valve on the sump pump.
A business owner had contacted us with concerns that his current sprinkler system was not functioning properly. The sprinkler heads would spray water wildly at some times or they would not work at all.
He claimed that the sprinkler heads were not directing water correctly and that they appeared to be clogged. We examined the heads and looked for broken and cracked plastic casing to verify that we needed to replace them. We explained to the customer that over time, the heads can become worn due to constant use, weather elements and careless lawn mowers.
Our technician was able to turn off the water system and dig a three-foot diameter ditch around the sprinkler heads. He removed the sprinkler head from the riser using a wrench. The technician attached a new sprinkler head by screwing it back onto the riser. Before he filled the hole, he turned the water supply on to test the system and set the sprinkler pattern to the customer's needs.
It takes less than 5 minutes and we're available 24/7.
60 minutes or less response time.

Angelica Williams- The Style Liberator
The world of fashion can be a fascinating, but very intimidating arena. With so many stylists fighting for the spotlight to be on their creativity, not many take the time out to pour back into those who are inspired by them. Their focus on being set a part is strictly geared towards what they wear, not who they help.
Angelica Williams has taken the fashion world by storm in such a short period of time. Not only is she the owner and chief visionary of Style To Go, her fashion consulting firm, she is also an aspiring author who has been featured in a variety of magazines.
With her passion for fashion not being based solely on her impeccable sense of style, she has been able to activate her vision to help others break free of the chains enslaving them to the bondage of their grim wardrobes. Hence her title: The Style Liberator.
Angelica believes that the way we dress is a direct expression of how we feel and how the world views us. In 2017, Williams launched her own T-Shirt Company, Style Sevyn, which has allowed her to produce hundreds of T-Shirts for a growing clientele that includes local and several out of state patrons. After the launch of Style Sevyn, Angelica was compelled to help other T-Shirt designers have the opportunity to receive much needed exposure. As a way to show case their talent and promote a culture of support in her community, Angelica hosted the first "All About the Tee" fashion show in October of 2017. The fashion show also served as a networking mixer, allowing local small businesses to debut their products and build connections. She even used the event as an opportunity to provide runway experience for up and coming models in the area.
Although she is a well-known Beauty Influencer, fashion is not her only platform. Angelica is a marketing and branding powerhouse with a plethora of knowledge regarding the ins and outs of being an entrepreneur. As a serial entrepreneur herself, Williams recently debuted her most current community efforts, the She Has a Boss Hustle mentorship academy. In this academy, she is mentoring female entrepreneurs. She is guiding them on their journey to owning and operating their own businesses. She Has a Boss Hustle is an enrichment and professional development academy that caters to those who have the desire to become a business owner or want to enhance their current business strategy. Williams is empowering, teaching, and guiding women in topics ranging from the entrepreneur's mindset, business planning, and effective social media marketing. To date Angelica has helped launch and grow 150 businesses.
Angelica is the owner of iW.I.N brand which is the umbrella brand for iW.I.N Consulting Group and iW.I.N Tax Group. Both groups assist businesses and brands with anything from tax prep and bookkeeping to full scale marketing and event planning services.
With that being said, Angelica has taught business classes as a SBA/SCORE business expert. Through the SBA and SCORE, Angelica has had the opportunity to mentor and teach alongside some of the most seasoned business owners in North Central Florida. She is also one of very few African American women to serve in this capacity. With all her accomplishments in the business world, she was nominated for and has accepted her spot on the NSBA (National Small Business Association) Leadership Council where she advocates for small businesses across the country.
With a heart for people, especially youth, and having walked down some of the same paths as many others; heart- break, depression, low self-esteem, and everyone's all-time least favorite: financial hardship, Angelica found solace in being determined to not look like what she had gone through and has worked hands on with others to ensure that they don't either! Being there, doing that… embracing her trials and turning them into triumph is what has made her into the fashion and entrepreneurial giant she is today.
She didn't allow her struggles to keep her stranded, instead she allowed them to lead her right into her calling of helping others. Each year, Angelica hosts the IAMHeiress/IAMHeir Prom Giveaway. Williams is the founder of this program and with the help of local vendors, she provides prom attire and a photoshoot for local high school students nominated by their community. She serves as Assistant Youth Director for the More Sure Word Association under the leadership of Apostle Curtis Lake III.

Although her accomplishments speak for themselves, Angelica was announced ACHI Magazine's Fashion Designer of the Year in March of 2018. She humbly accepts the "respeck" that is put on her name! She is also the 2019 Nominee for the Woman of Vision and Purpose by Gainesville Black Professionals. Williams is also the 2019 nominee for the Woman of Influence and Mentor of the Year by Atlanta based, ACHI Magazine. This magazine is distributed throughout the South Eastern region, promoting women empowerment and sisterhood. This nomination is an extreme honor because Angelica is the founder of "Pray. Laugh. Slay", a yearly women's empowerment event that focuses on cultivating the beauty within every woman and helping her portray to the world!
When not engaged in the day-to-day operations of the firm, teaching, or speaking engagements, Angelica enjoys spending time with her three beautiful children, including one who is Autistic. Angelica also serves as youth minister at her church, The Hope of Glory, where she enjoys leading young people to Christ. Angelica also savors snuggling up with a good book, attending personal development seminars and researching emerging topics in her industry- even in her spare time, she is committed to better serving others!

'Prayer and fasting;'
Or, The Cure of Unbelief.
'Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, nothing shall be impossible to you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting'—Matt. xvii. 19-21.
WHEN the disciples saw Jesus cast the evil spirit out of the epileptic whom 'they could not cure,' they asked the Master for the cause of their failure. He had given them 'power and authority over all devils, and to cure all diseases.' They had often exercised that power, and joyfully told how the devils were subject to them. And yet now, while He was on the Mount, they had utterly failed. That there had been nothing in the will of God or in the nature of the case to render deliverance impossible, had been proved: at Christ's bidding the evil spirit had gone out. From their expression, 'Why could we not?' it is evident that they had wished and sought to do so; they had probably used the Master's name, and 95called upon the evil spirit to go out. Their efforts had been vain, and in presence of the multitude, they had been put to shame. 'Why could we not?'
Christ's answer was direct and plain: 'Because of your unbelief.' The cause of His success and their failure, was not owing to His having a special power to which they had no access. No; the reason was not far to seek. He had so often taught them that there is one power, that of faith, to which, in the kingdom of darkness, as in the kingdom of God, everything must bow; in the spiritual world failure has but one cause, the want of faith. Faith is the one condition on which all Divine power can enter into man and work through him. It is the susceptibility of the unseen: man's will yielded up to, and moulded by, the will of God. The power they had received to cast out devils, they did not hold in themselves as a permanent gift or possession; the power was in Christ, to be received, and held, and used by faith alone, living faith in Himself. Had they been full of faith in Him as Lord and Conqueror in the spirit-world, had they been full of faith in Him as having given them authority to cast out in His name, this faith would have given them the victory. 'Because of your unbelief' was, for all time, the Master's explanation and reproof of impotence and failure in His Church.
But such want of faith must have a cause too. Well might the disciples have asked: 'And why could we not believe? Our faith has cast out devils before this: why have we now 96failed in believing? 'The Master proceeds to tell them ere they ask: 'This kind goeth not out but by fasting and prayer.' As faith is the simplest, so it is the highest exercise of the spiritual life, where our spirit yields itself in perfect receptivity to God's Spirit and so is strengthened to its highest activity. This faith depends entirely upon the state of the spiritual life; only when this is strong and in full health, when the Spirit of God has full sway in our life, is there the power of faith to do its mighty deeds. And therefore Jesus adds: 'Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by fasting and prayer.' The faith that can overcome such stubborn resistance as you have just seen in this evil spirit, Jesus tells them, is not possible except to men living in very close fellowship with God, and in very special separation from the world—in prayer and fasting. And so He teaches us two lessons in regard to prayer of deep importance. The one, that faith needs a life of prayer in which to grow and keep strong. The other, that prayer needs fasting for its full and perfect development.
Faith needs a life of prayer for its full growth. In all the different parts of the spiritual life, there is such close union, such unceasing action and re-action, that each may be both cause and effect. Thus it is with faith. There can be no true prayer without faith; some measure of faith must precede prayer. And yet prayer is also the way to more faith; there can be no higher degrees of faith except through much prayer. This is the lesson Jesus teaches here. There is nothing needs so much to grow 97as our faith. 'Your faith groweth exceedingly,' is said of one Church. When Jesus spoke the words, 'According to your faith be it unto you,' He announced the law of the kingdom, which tells us that all have not equal degrees of faith, that the same person has not always the same degree, and that the measure of faith must always determine the measure of power and of blessing. If we want to know where and how our faith is to grow, the Master points us to the throne of God. It is in prayer, in the exercise of the faith I have, in fellowship with the living God, that faith can increase. Faith can only live by feeding on what is Divine, on God Himself.
It is in the adoring worship of God, the waiting on Him and for Him, the deep silence of soul that yields itself for God to reveal Himself, that the capacity for knowing and trusting God will be developed. It is as we take His word from the Blessed Book, and bring it to Himself, asking him to speak it to us with His living loving voice, that the power will come fully to believe and receive the word as God's own word to us. It is in prayer, in living contact with God in living faith, that faith, the power to trust God, and in that trust, to accept everything He says, to accept every possibility He has offered to our faith will become strong in us. Many Christians cannot understand what is meant by the much prayer they sometimes hear spoken of: they can form no conception, nor do they feel the need, of spending hours with God. But what the Master says, the 98experience of His people has confirmed: men of strong faith are men of much prayer.
This just brings us back again to the lesson we learned when Jesus, before telling us to believe that we receive what we ask, first said, 'Have faith in God.' It is God, the living God, into whom our faith must strike its roots deep and broad; then it will be strong to remove mountains and cast out devils. 'If ye have faith, nothing shall be impossible to you.' Oh! if we do but give ourselves up to the work God has for us in the world, coming into contact with the mountains and the devils there are to be cast away and cast out, we should soon comprehend the need there is of much faith, and of much prayer, as the soil in which alone faith can be cultivated. Christ Jesus is our life, the life of our faith too. It is His life in us that makes us strong, and makes us simple to believe. It is in the dying to self which much prayer implies, in closer union to Jesus, that the spirit of faith will come in power. Faith needs prayer for its full growth.
And prayer needs fasting for its full growth: this is the second lesson. Prayer is the one hand with which we grasp the invisible; fasting, the other, with which we let loose and cast away the visible. In nothing is man more closely connected with the world of sense than in his need of food, and his enjoyment of it. It was the fruit, good for food, with which man was tempted and fell in Paradise. It was with bread to be made of stones that Jesus, when an hungered, was tempted in the wilderness, and in fasting 99that He triumphed. The body has been redeemed to be a temple of the Holy Spirit; it is in body as well as spirit, it is very specially, Scripture says, in eating and drinking, we are to glorify God. It is to be feared that there are many Christians to whom this eating to the glory of God has not yet become a spiritual reality. And the first thought suggested by Jesus' words in regard to fasting and prayer, is, that it is only in a life of moderation and temperance and self-denial that there will be the heart or the strength to pray much.
But then there is also its more literal meaning. Sorrow and anxiety cannot eat: joy celebrates its feasts with eating and drinking. There may come times of intense desire, when it is strongly felt how the body, with its appetites, lawful though they be, still hinder the spirit in its battle with the powers of darkness, and the need is felt of keeping it under. We are creatures of the senses: our mind is helped by what comes to us embodied in concrete form; fasting helps to express, to deepen, and to confirm the resolution that we are ready to sacrifice anything, to sacrifice ourselves, to attain what we seek for the kingdom of God. And He who accepted the fasting and sacrifice of the Son, knows to value and accept and reward with spiritual power the soul that is thus ready to give up all for Christ and His kingdom.
And then follows a still wider application. Prayer is the reaching out after God and the unseen; fasting, the100 letting go of all that is of the seen and temporal. While ordinary Christians imagine that all that is not positively forbidden and sinful is lawful to them, and seek to retain as much as possible of this world, with its property, its literature, its enjoyments, the truly consecrated soul is as the soldier who carries only what he needs for the warfare. Laying aside every weight, as well as the easily besetting sin, afraid of entangling himself with the affairs of this life, he seeks to lead a Nazarite life, as one specially set apart for the Lord and His service. Without such voluntary separation, even from what is lawful, no one will attain power in prayer: this kind goeth not out but by fasting and prayer.
Disciples of Jesus! who have asked the Master to teach you to pray, come now and accept His lessons. He tells you that prayer is the path to faith, strong faith, that can cast out devils. He tells you: 'If ye have faith, nothing shall be impossible to you;' let this glorious promise encourage you to pray much. Is the prize not worth the price? Shall we not give up all to follow Jesus in the path He opens to us here; shall we not, if need be, fast? Shall we not do anything that neither the body nor the world around hinder us in our great life-work,—having intercourse with our God in prayer, that we may become men of faith, whom He can use in His work of saving the world.
O Lord Jesus! how continually Thou hast to reprove us for our unbelief! How strange it must appear to Thee, this terrible incapacity of trusting our Father and His promises. Lord! let Thy reproof, with its searching, 'Because of your unbelief,' sink into the very depths of our hearts, and reveal to us how much of the sin and suffering around us is our blame. And then teach us, Blessed Lord, that there is a place where faith can be learned and gained,—even in the prayer and fasting that brings into living and abiding fellowship with Thyself and the Father.
O Saviour! Thou Thyself art the Author and the Perfecter of our faith; teach us what it is to let Thee live in us by Thy Holy Spirit. Lord! our efforts and prayers for grace to believe have been so unavailing. We know why it was: we sought for strength in ourselves to be given from Thee. Holy Jesus! do at length teach us the mystery of Thy life in us, and how Thou, by Thy Spirit, dost undertake to live in us the life of faith, to see to it that our faith shall not fail. O let us see that our faith will just be a part of that wonderful prayer-life which Thou givest in them who expect their training for the ministry of intercession, not in word and thought only, but in the Holy Unction Thou givest, the inflowing of the Spirit of Thine own life. And teach us how, in fasting and prayer, we may grow up to the faith to which nothing shall be impossible. Amen.
102At the time when Blumhardt was passing through his terrible conflict with the evil spirits in those who were possessed, and seeking to cast them out by prayer, he often wondered what it was that hindered the answer. One day a friend, to whom he had spoken of his trouble, directed his attention to our Lord's words about fasting. Blumhardt resolved to give himself to fasting, sometimes for more than thirty hours. From reflection and experience he gained the conviction that it is of more importance than is generally thought. He says, 'Inasmuch as the fasting is before God, a practical proof that the thing we ask is to us a matter of true and pressing interest, and inasmuch as in a high degree it strengthens the intensity and power of the prayer, and becomes the unceasing practical expression of a prayer without words, I could believe that it would not be without efficacy, especially as the Master's words had reference to a case like the present. I tried it, without telling any one, and in truth the later conflict was extraordinarily lightened by it. I could speak with much greater restfulness and decision. I did not require to be so long present with the sick one; and I felt that I could influence without being present.'

Supreme Court takes Jack Daniel's case against dog toy maker
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court said Monday it will hear a dispute over a dog toy that got whiskey maker Jack Daniel's barking mad.
Jack Daniel's had asked the justices to hear its case against the manufacturer of the plastic Bad Spaniels toy. The toy mimics the Jack Daniel's bottle and label but is a parody. While the original bottle has the words "Old No. 7 brand" and "Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey," the parody proclaims: "The Old No. 2 on Your Tennessee Carpet." Instead of the original's note that it is 40% alcohol by volume, the parody says it's "43% Poo by Vol." and "100% Smelly."
A number of major companies from the makers of Campbell Soup to outdoor brand Patagonia and jeans maker Levi Strauss had urged the justices to take what they said was an important case for trademark law.
Lawyers for the toy's maker, Arizona-based VIP Products, told the high court that Jack Daniel's can't take a joke. They said Jack Daniel's has "waged war" against the company for "having the temerity to produce a pun-filled parody" of its bottle. The toy retails for about $13 to $20 and the packaging notes in small font: "This product is not affiliated with Jack Daniel Distillery."
Jack Daniel's lead attorney, Lisa Blatt, made no bones about the company's position in her court filing.
"To be sure, everyone likes a good joke. But VIP's profit-motivated 'joke' confuses consumers by taking advantage of Jack Daniel's hard-earned goodwill," she wrote for the Louisville, Kentucky-based Brown-Forman Corp., Jack Daniel's parent company. Blatt wrote that a lower court decision provides "near-blanket protection" to humorous trademark infringement.
The toy is part of a line of VIP Products called Silly Squeakers that mimic liquor, beer, wine and soda bottles. They include Mountain Drool, which parodies Mountain Dew, and Heini Sniff'n, which parodies Heineken. A court in 2008 barred the company from selling its Budweiser parody, ButtWiper.
The case won't be argued until early 2023 with a decision expected before the court leaves for its summer recess.
The case is Jack Daniel's Properties Inc. v. VIP Products LLC, 22-148.

Colts Grind out 12-9 Win Over Broncos in Injury-filled Game
DENVER (AP) — Matt Ryan kept the faith through all the sacks, interceptions, fumbles and three-and-outs that made for a streaming snooze-fest Thursday night.
"It was just kind of a slog of a game," the Indianapolis quarterback said after Stephon Gilmore batted away Russell Wilson's pass to Courtland Sutton in the end zone on fourth-and-1 from the 5 to give the Colts a 12-9 overtime victory over the Denver Broncos.
The game featured seven field goals, a dozen punts, 25 third-down stops, four interceptions and six fumbles — none of which were recovered by the otherwise disruptive defenses.
"Our defense played lights out," said Ryan, who emerged victorious despite getting sacked six times, giving him 21 so far this season, throwing a pair of interceptions to Caden Sterns and fumbling for the 10th time this season.
"We need to play better for sure, but I'm proud of the guys," Ryan said. "Wins are what we need. We're right in the mix. ... I thought the two drives at the end showed a lot of guys. You just keep battling — and it helps when your defense is shutting them down, too."
Gilmore also intercepted Wilson's pass just before the 2-minute mark of the fourth quarter to set up Chase McLaughlin's tying field goal with 5 seconds left.
"That's the definition of a big-time player making big plays in the moment," Colts coach Frank Reich said about Gilmore. "Isn't it awesome you can have a game like that and still win?"
McLauglin connected from 47 yards 4:10 into overtime to give the Colts (2-2-1) the lead in the first game in NFL history that pitted quarterbacks with at least four Pro Bowl appearances each yet featured zero touchdowns.
The Broncos (2-3) decided against a tying chip-shot field goal by Brandon McManus or even a first-down play on fourth-and-less-and-a-yard from the 5, and Wilson lined up in the shotgun next to running back Melvin Gordon, then threw incomplete over the middle.
"We wanted to win the game," Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said. "We hadn't moved the ball very well the whole night and I thought we had a spectacular drive to get all the way down there."
Wide open and uncovered — but unseen by Wilson — was KJ Hamler, who tore off his helmet and slammed it to the ground after Wilson's final pass was batted away, sending the Broncos and their awful offense to their second loss in four days.
"There's going to be a bunch of what-ifs," Broncos guard Dalton Risner said. "You know what, if we score that touchdown, everyone thinks it's the best call in the world."
McLaughlin sent it to overtime with a 31-yarder after Gilmore intercepted Wilson's pass to Tyrie Cleveland in the end zone on third-and-4 from the 13.
"Just can't throw that," lamented Wilson. "Got to throw it out of bounds if it's not there."
Wilson was sacked four times and picked off twice. His four TD throws through five games marks the worst start of his 11-year career and he hasn't looked anything like the Broncos expected after giving him a $245 million contract extension before his first snap for Denver.
"It's very simple: at the end of the day I got to be better," Wilson said. "I got to play better. I let the team down tonight. One thing I know about myself is I'm going to respond."
The game pitted veteran quarterbacks struggling with their new teams. It looked like neither team practiced much during the week because neither team did as they worked in new running backs and key defensive replacements on a short work week.
And as is common on Thursday nights, there was a rash of injuries with the most serious to Indy's Kwity Payne (leg) and Denver's Garett Bolles (right knee), both of whom were carted off.
With reigning NFL champion Jonathan Taylor (ankle, toe) out for Indy and the Broncos lamenting the loss of Javonte Williams to a shredded right knee, the grind-it-out nature of the game was entirely expected.
The Colts came in averaging 14.3 points, the lowest in Ryan's 16-year career, and the Broncos entered the night averaging 16.5 points, the worst in Wilson's 11-year career.
Nyheim Hines got the start for Indy, but he went out with a head injury after his third snap when D.J. Jones knocked him down and Hines' helmet bounced on the ground. He wobbled as he tried to leave the field on his own and had to be guided to the sideline, where he was evaluated for a concussion.
Many fans were wondering if this game would be one of revenge — Phillip Lindsay returning to his hometown to beat the Broncos — or redemption — Gordon atoning for his big fumble Sunday that was returned 68 yards for a touchdown by the Raiders.
It turned out to be neither.
Lindsay ran for 40 yards on 11 carries ad Gordon had 54 yards on 15 carries, and he was flipped by safety Rodney McLoyd Jr. at the 6 on his way to the end zone when it appeared he had an open path to the winning touchdown.
While McLaughlin was good from 52, 51, 31 and 48 yards, Brandon McManus was good from 33, 44 and 45 yards but his 34-yard attempt was blocked by Grover Stewart in the third quarter.
Paye was injured on Rodney Thomas II's 35-yard interception return. Starting C Ryan Kelly (hip) and WR Austin Dulin (foot) also got hurt.
The Broncos lost two starting defenders to knee injuries just before halftime, ILB Josey Jewell and CB Ronald Darby. DE Dre'Mont Jones (head) and LB Baron Browning (wrist) got hurt in the second half as did Bolles.
The Colts host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, Oct. 16, and the Broncos visit the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night, Oct. 17.

Wife Reacts Terribly After Man Surprises Her With $60K Kitchen Makeover [VIDEO]
Imagine this: you thought what you were doing for your wife or loved one is the best thing ever, then she sees it.
What she sees is not at all what she was hoping for.
That's what happens in this 2012 video (note the NSFW language). The woman walks in after being gone for a few days, while the husband completely renovated the kitchen.
All told, the man spent $60,000 redoing the kitchen, complete with side-by-side ovens and a stand-alone ice maker among his other upgrades.
The woman was not enthused with the upgrades. I don't think I've ever seen someone react so negatively to a surprise in my life. It has some wondering if the video is even real.
Kind of reminds me of the Trading Spaces reveals gone wrong.
UPDATE: The YouTube channel has now updated the description of the video to say it was all a "prank." "My wife actually does love the kitchen and wishes we could afford 1 of everything let alone 2 of everything!" the description says.

Stages 3 and 4 of Cold Water Immersion
There are four stages of cold water immersion. This is what happens in the last two stages.
- Stage 3: Long-term immersion hypothermia sets in after 30 minutes, at a rate depending on water temperature, clothing, body type, and your behaviour in the water. Cold water robs the body of heat 25 times faster than cold air. Hypothermia occurs when your body loses heat faster than it produces it, cooling the organs in the core of your body. Hypothermia eventually leads to loss of consciousness and death, with or without drowning.
- Stage 4: Post-immersion collapse occurs during or after rescue. Once rescued, after you have been immersed in cold water, you are still in danger from collapse of arterial blood pressure leading to cardiac arrest. Also, inhaled water can damage your lungs, and heart problems can develop as cold blood from your arms and legs is released into the core of your body.

Just one year after the second center console offering announcement at the Miami International Boat Show, Marine Technology Inc proudly unveiled the new MTI-V 57, powered by quad Mercury Racing 400R engines, at the 2016 Dubai International Boat Show.
While the pre-production model showcased at the boat show has hefty fishing features, the production model will boast a more substantial cabin, console, and seating. The official production boat release will take place at the 2016 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show.
This sleek vessel's length of 57′, beam of 11'11", and approximate weight of 19,000 lbs (with quad 400 Verados) allows for zero bow rise upon getting on plane, moving straight forward without altitude change.
While luxury and comfort were at the forefront in design of this addition to the MTI lineup, speed was of equal importance. The quad Mercury Racing 400R engines allow the MTI-V 57 to reach speeds upwards of 65+mph with ease. The new 57′ Center Console averaged 0.9 mpg of fuel at 50.6 mph, with a top speed of 68 mph. All data was recorded with quad Mercury Racing 400R outboards in optimal testing conditions. Other power options are available, and speeds are subject to vary due to load, natural elements, and sea conditions.

The family room makeover has been on hold while we're renovating the apartment but I wanted to share a little repurposed headboard project I finished up a couple of weeks ago.
Using an old headboard {a gift from Amber – thanks, Amber!}, Gorilla Wood Glue, Bessy ESZ Clamps (Rockler), TransTint Dye, vinyl stencil (created using Silhouette Cameo) and craft paint, I gave an old headboad a new purpose.
Here's a little of what's going on in the family room:
{see more about operation family room here}
The headboard was in very poor condition, broken and falling apart. I removed the legs and repaired the main wooden part of the headboard and added a stencil.

Ever since I turned forty, I've forgotten how to sleep. That is, I can fall asleep with no trouble, but I have a lot of trouble staying that way. Instead I wake up in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. And when I say "wake up," I mean that I WAKE UP, as Russell Hoban described it, "like a man trapped in a car going over a cliff." My heart gives a spasmodic lurch and I'm instantly wide-eyed and alert, listening, muscles poised. It can take hours for my pulse to subside and my brain to admit that there's really nothing much to worry about at the moment.
My husband is accustomed to these episodes, but I suspect they're taking years off my life (not to mention that they irritate the cat, who allows me to sleep on her side of the bed). I know too that I make things worse on these nights by humoring my nervous system, lying there and mulling over everything that might have caused me to awaken in full-on berserker mode. There is nothing more fruitless than confronting your worst fears when you're sleep-deprived and pumped full of surplus adrenaline, yet I do it anyway: I replay contentious office meetings, analyze dark alleys I might have to walk down in the future, and think of the perfect way to greet Dick Cheney if I ever meet him in person. ("Hiya, Dick," with just the right amount of hesitation after the "hi" and just enough emphasis on "Dick" is what I usually settle on. Then I formulate a list of people who might post bail for me.)
Fun stuff, but not very soothing. Rather than inducing me to slip back off into dreamland, this kind of antagonistic thinking gets me even more riled up. It takes the erroneous chemical message that some glitch of physiology dumped into my bloodstream and converts it to rational thoughts. It leaves me with mental images that tend to heighten my sense of powerlessness and persecution. In short, when I lie in the dark and dread things, I'm allowing my limbic system to exploit and bully my rational mind. And I don't like bullies.
Still, it's not entirely my limbic system's fault. The hindbrain, as the limbic system is sometimes called, consists of the hypothalmus, the amygdala, and quite a few other highly specialized but not especially well-understood parts of the brain. Together they control our physiological response to stress, stimulating or suppressing our hormones, regulating our heart rate, dilating our pupils and elevating our blood sugar levels. In a crisis, all these physiological changes increase our odds of survival by helping us fight, flee, or freeze. The limbic system keeps us alive in the most primal way imaginable, and it does so with very little input from the cognitive centers of the brain.
But, as I've learned, you can't overindulge it. I spend way too much quality time with my limbic system. I don't get into many dangerous situations requiring immediate fight or flight, but imagining catastrophe in minute detail is a hobby of mine. As hobbies go, this is slightly less destructive than heroin addiction but worse than say, karaoke, which I have seen cause considerable strain in other people's marriages.
When your default thought patterns are a non-stop dress-rehearsal for disaster, you spend far more time fighting within yourself than you do addressing outside threats. Whether I'm awake or half-awake, I devote an excessive amount of mental energy to refighting old battles and gaming out potential ones. I bring dead conflicts back to life over and over again, even when there's nothing more I can learn from them. I extrapolate about possible future conflicts out of sheer habit. I have to be very careful that I don't skew my worldview in the process.
Because the hindbrain, while dependable in emergencies, isn't very smart. So quite often my analytical, speculative musings about danger will fool it into thinking there's an actual threat, and my body will start reacting to the crisis I've envisioned as if it were real: Elevated pulse, rapid breathing. And unfortunately the limbic system remembers physical stress responses whether they were warranted or not; it aggregates them and uses them to predict what might threaten us in the future. Which is probably why I wake up in the middle of the night as if I'm crouched in a foxhole on the Western Front: My mind and body are stuck in a feedback loop where hypothetical danger has been nurtured as an academic exercise, and is now mistakenly treated as the real thing. Both instincts are trying their best to keep me safe, but they're actually making things worse.
It's something I'm working on—I've found that it gets better when I spar regularly—but I know I'm not alone in feeling caught in the middle between my "thinking" and "reacting" brains. It's a common problem in the peculiar environment we now live in.
Carmel, a social worker who trains at my dojo, gave me this explanation of how our limbic systems are supposed to keep us safe: If you live near tigers, you'll quickly become attuned to environmental cues that signal the presence of tigers. You'll be sensitive to growls, for example, and the color orange, and stealthy movements in the underbrush. Those cues will trigger immediate defensive responses—running, hiding, grabbing a torch. You won't stop to think about these responses. They are instinctive, reflexive physical reactions to sensory information, and if you give them free rein they'll keep you alive.
Problems can arise, Carmel noted, if you move somewhere new where there aren't any tigers. When you get there, your limbic system is still wired to react to the old cues. You may know, in your rational brain—the one that bought the train ticket to the tiger-free neighborhood—that there are no more tigers in your vicinity. But your rational brain didn't have the primary responsibility for keeping you alive when you lived with tigers. The neo-cortex is not a first responder. That burden fell to your hindbrain, the feeling and reacting brain. And that part of your brain doesn't "know" that tigers are out of the picture now.
If you've experienced prolonged exposure to really hungry tigers—or if you've served in combat, or survived rape, or been traumatized as a child—your hindbrain may become hypersensitized to certain cues. Loud noises, specific locations, voices, words, and other stimuli can trigger a full-on stress reaction, even if the actual threat is no longer present. When people have extreme forms of this sensitivity, we call it post traumatic stress reaction. (Or sometimes "disorder," but that isn't strictly accurate. A hypersensitive limbic system isn't out of order; it's merely out of context).
My overactive hindbrain isn't anywhere near as bad as PTSR; I've never (knock on wood) had anything particularly awful happen to me. Which I'm quite happy about, thank you. Yet I find myself imagining tigers everywhere. And what I've discovered in teaching self defense is that a lot of other women do too, in the form of stalkers, and rapists, and masked gunmen. All of which do exist in the real world, just as there are real tigers out there. But some of the women I've talked to, like me, spend extraordinary amounts of time and energy obsessing about these threats, given the odds that they'll actually encounter any of them.
Why do we do this? I think it's because there's a new kind of threat in our modern environment that is much harder for us to recognize than a tiger: We live in a culture that uses fear to manipulate people, that exploits and abuses our survival instincts, and prevents them from working as they should.
In the normal course of events, a hypersensitive hindbrain can be rewired, though it learns to relax much more slowly than it learns to scream "Run!" It can't think through problems rationally. It can't take the cognitive shortcut of looking at a map and realizing "No tigers here." Unlike our "thinking brain," the limbic system requires experiential knowledge, repeated patterns of this-happens-then-that-happens: I see orange, but it's only my neighbor's marigolds, which don't eat me. After trauma, the hindbrain usually regains an even keel if given time and space and a little peace and quiet.
Sometimes it's more complicated—if there is physical injury to the brain, for example. But for most people, once they're in a tiger-free environment and experiencing repeated cycles of seeing-orange-not-getting-eaten, the limbic response to the old triggers gradually cools down.
But look at the culture we live in. Like my hyperactive imagination, it throws potential dangers at us from every direction, nonstop, and spins them out into detailed narratives: Gruesome crimes are lovingly resurrected years after they were solved and turned into hour-long television shows. Missing white women dominate the news cycle for days. We're hypersensitized to threats, via television, movies, news, advertisements, and office gossip. There's no tiger-free region for us to move to, no way to escape from the danger. It's a closed system, a feedback loop, and it's very destructive.
What's the result? People buy guns, and mace, and next-to-worthless home security systems, trying to calm their fears. They buy overpriced homes in gated communities, in the hope that a five-foot brick wall will protect them. They buy gasoline to drive themselves everywhere because they don't feel safe walking. They spend money their rational minds could tell them they're wasting, in an effort to appease their hopelessly duped limbic systems.
"Trust your instincts," we tell people in self defense workshops. It's good advice. But be careful too, about what you feed your instincts on. The hindbrain and the neo-cortex often come into conflict when we have to make complex choices about safety, and since the limbic system is in charge of our most basic survival instincts, it's used to getting its way. Which is why the less scrupulous elements of our culture have learned to appeal to it. So it's important, if we don't want to be bullied and manipulated, that we keep our threat responses in proportion to the actual threats we face. We can discipline our fighting instinct in the sparring ring, or get out of the car and walk somewhere. We can look for reliable information about risk, or turn off the TV. And if we wake up in the middle of the night, we can do ourselves a favor by telling the hindbrain it's off duty, and counting sheep instead of tigers.

Agrees to Postpone Closed Voting Examiner Meetings in Face of ACLU Lawsuit
Austin, TX - The Texas Secretary of State today agreed to indefinitely postpone a meeting of the state's voting examiners following the filing of a lawsuit by the ACLU of Texas and a Texas voter. The Electronic Frontier Foundation is serving as co-counsel in the case. The lawsuit challenged the practice of holding closed meetings in violation of the state's Open Meetings Act.
Today, the parties decided to postpone an upcoming voting examiner meeting that had been set for August 18, 2004. As a result of the Secretary of State's decision, the emergency hearing in the case set for Monday, August 16 has been cancelled. Under the agreement, the Secretary of State and voting examiners are required to notify the plaintiffs at least 14 days before any subsequent meeting is held. The underlying lawsuit seeking to open the voting examiner meetings to public scrutiny is not affected and will proceed as planned.
"We are pleased that the voting examiners will not hold their August 18th closed meeting," said Adina Levin of ACLU-Texas. "However, we need to ensure that this will become a permanent solution instead of just a temporary one. We will proceed with this lawsuit until the public is guaranteed that the certification process of voting technology will be an open and transparent one."
Levin noted that it is unclear whether the Secretary of State's decision to postpone the upcoming meeting meant that future meetings would be open to the public. "We hope this is a sign that the Secretary of State is taking the time to ensure that future meetings comply with Open Meetings Act requirements, and not an attempt to find another way to keep Texas election systems meetings closed," said Levin. "We have not received any promise to that effect, and the Secretary of State has made no other indication that that will happen."
