On the shelf in front of me burned two prayer candles. The pre-fight ritual. One read: 'Calm and Professional, Box-Box-Box'. The other candle read: 'Clean and Sober'.
Yeah fucking right. Three days into detox, even my tears tasted like a pharmaceutical.
My eyes glazed over as I watched the flames slowly flicker and melt into the floor. In them I saw a highlight reel of all the mistakes that led me here.
I was sitting in the dusty coffin-sized back room of what must have been an old military bunker, now corroding on the outskirts of Tijuana, waiting for my 13th professional boxing bout, just days after my latest attempt to quit OxyContin.
Trembling, I pulled myself up and started to shadowbox in tiny circles, trying to a get a decent sweat going. In reality, I had been profusely sweating all day. According to WebMD, it's at the 72-hour mark when the body goes into full opiate withdrawal. Seeing that I had flushed the last of my dope three days earlier, I was right on the money.
+ + +
Coach grabbed the Vaseline out of his bag and walked up to apply the pre coat. He smeared the grease across my eyebrows as I clenched my mouth shut, gritting my teeth to hide the stench of three-day-old tequila, still decaying on my breath.
In the past, this moment had been everything. A crucial point of contact between my coach and I, not to mention the reason I started fighting to begin with – human affection. The bond between a fighter and his trainer is deeper than anything most people will ever experience. I trusted him with my life. I closed my eyes and tried to gather what was left of my spirit, but I couldn't form a single thought.
Outside the window I could hear wild dogs howling at the moon, scavenging through the streets of Tijuana for a fix to quiet their hunger. My eyes opened to a fogged mirror that scaled the locker room wall. I looked like a shell of the boxer I used to be.
+ + +
I wasn't your run-of-the-mill California beach kid. My early life consisted of acting out in Special Ed so I could spend the afternoon in detention. Detention kept me hidden from my abusive stepfather. At 13, I was shipped off to military school in South Texas. This was where I first learned how to box.
Being so unsure, unsettled and unsatisfied, three-minute intervals of requited brutality became a state of grace – free from sin. Boxing became my first safe space. A space where all the shitty cards I'd been dealt in life could be put on the table.
Poker face in full effect, evading you with a shit-eating grin, I'd circle the square. Sly as a fox, I became sugar coated in the sweet science – pickpocketing you with jabs, disappearing before you ever knew what happened. Besides, sleight of hand was my second nature, to box was to lie and for me growing up, lying meant surviving.
I returned to LA with a new skill set and refused to let my stepfather put his hands on me again. But as much as boxing had given me confidence, my problems continued. I dropped out of high school at 16, not long after reconnecting and moving in with my biological father. He was in between prison sentences when we rekindled our relationship. Less than a year later, my dad and I were arrested together for going full Bonnie and Clyde on a meth-induced crime spree.
I remember the detective peering over his shoulder taking a mental note of the father-son duo in handcuffs. Cruising down Sherman Way, hog-tied in the back of a patrol car, another sad song of growing up in the Valley. The officer looked me in the face and said, "Son your father's been in and out of prison his entire life. After you get outta juvie, you may want to consider a different line of work."
When I got out of juvie about a month later, I didn't even have enough quarters to take a bus across the valley from Sylmar to Woodland Hills. But the driver let me slide, and I arrived at my father's abandoned apartment and peeled the eviction notice off the door as I picked the lock. I walked past the chaos the cops left behind and went straight for the bathroom. Lifting the top lid off the toilet, I desperately peeled away little pieces of tape that were glued to the bindle hiding the oxy and the eight ball. Using my fathers declined credit card, I swirled together beautiful blue and white lines.
+ + +
What I had realised, finally, was that I could no longer hide behind the masks I wore to survive my childhood. Three days earlier, I kicked oxy. The drug addict had to go, even if the boxer in me had to leave with him. But I still had to box.
I took my trunks out of my bag, white and speckled with the blood of my last five opponents. Never washed, I used to wear them like a badge of honour. That night, in that dark back room, I didn't feel that same confidence.
I pulled up my trunks and immediately threw my shirt back on – it wasn't the night for pre fight-flexing. I was fighting at Junior Middleweight that night. That's a full weight class higher than I'd ever been. And there was no training camp – remember, I was just three days off the shit. I literally puked my way through a weight cut.
Wrapped up, gloved up, I started warming up on the mitts. Combinations that used to silence the room, echoing like a thunderstorm, were now drizzle, dissolving into my coaches hands.
"Come on kid, come on son, you got this," he said to me. But his words were hollow. He knew why my hands were shaking, and neither of us wanting talk about it. Not tonight. Not again.
+ + +
A man from the commission banged on the door. "Gringo, you're up."
If ever boxing had a grim reaper, it was that guy. Coach tied a knot in my robe and I pulled the hood over my head. My body ached so badly, I could feel the silk sinking down the back of my skull. One foot in front of the other, in little pigeon-toed steps, I stuttered down the hallway, feeling uncontrollably sorry for myself.
"Fuck this sob story I tell about my father," I said to myself as I walked in slow motion, the fans on each side of me cheering my opponent into the ring.
"Fuck my probation officer for introducing me to Freddie Roach.
"Fuck my coaches for loving me unconditionally, there's nothing worth saving here.
"Fuck bottle service girls, fake tits and bumps of cocaine.
"Fuck my fans for believing in this 'All-Class' bullshit. I'm a junkie.
"Last but not least, fuck whatever cheese-dick DJ thought it'd be a good idea for my walk out song to be 'Eye of the Tiger.'"
Through a silver curtain, I entered the arena. Still hiding underneath the hood of my robe, I wasn't quite ready to be unveiled.
+ + +
I climbed through the ropes, coach following behind me. He pulled the silk knot from my waist, undressing my robe. I felt vulnerable, naked, and soft but there were no more drugs to hide behind. For the first time in long time, I was truly exposed.
Pulling the Vaseline out of his pocket he applied the final coat over my eyebrows. One final moment to just shut my eyes and feel loved. His arms wrapped around me as he gave me a kiss on the cheek. "This is it son, go get what your worth."
"Seconds out!" the ref yelled.
Coach slid between the ropes, waiting for the time-keeper to buzz the opening bell. Looking down at the floor, I could feel my opponents' eyes burning a hole through me from across the ring. I was too heartbroken to look him back in the eye.
I'm not a big puncher so I usually box gracefully, working off the jab, setting things up, picking my spots, but there was no way I could have pulled it off mid-withdrawal. I was going to have to hit that motherfucker with bad intentions if I wanted to make it out of the ring.
Ding! Ding! My opponent slid up to me, hands high in a poised stance. Fingernails digging into the leather, fists clenched, with every ounce of self-hate in my entire being, I started punching.
Punching for every time the dealer texted me at 2AM saying, "I got blues."
His nose splattered blood as his body crashes against the canvas. He gets up.
"Box!" yelled the ref!
I sent off another barrage of punches.
Punching for every time I put my hands in my own vomit, searching for a chunk of OxyContin that hadn't fully dissolved yet.
He dropped to his knees and the ref began the count. "Don't get up!" I thought to myself. I didn't have enough gas in the tank to get through another round.
His nose poured out a violent red waterfall, and he got up again. The official ordered for the fight to continue and I threw one last combination.
Punching for my coaches that loved me though all this, even when I put them through hell.
Punching for the years I lost, nodded out, and cried behind the curtain in my bathtub.
Punching for the countless overdose attempts, each time coming-to in front of friends and family, fucking humiliated.
Punching for every time I gave up on myself.
+ + +
And suddenly it was over.
Smearing blood from my gloves onto my trunks, I looked back at my coach, I said, "It's okay, I'm okay."
I had three days sober and if I made it to midnight, then that would make four. I made a promise to myself that I meant to keep. Even if it meant this had to be my last fight.
The ref grabbed my wrist, walking me to centre ring. The microphone rapelled down from the rafters and he leaned in to shout: "Winner by first round knockout... Fighting out of Hollywood California… Representing Wildcard Boxing Club…. ZACHARY 'KID YAMAKA' WOHLMAN."
+ + +
Today is my 120th day clean and sober. The kick is long gone but the memories of my drug use vividly remain. I wish I could sit here and tell you that was my first crack at the whole sobriety thing but that wouldn't be true. What I am hoping is that this is the last crack.
The fight in Tijuana changed me. Sick and miserable, punching through my addiction, I was able to leave the drug addict behind. And for now, I have been able to keep the boxer in me alive.

The sky was a little dull today but it stayed dry which is the main thing. A beautiful wedding day and I have to say the wedding ceremony was very nicely conducted. A warm and bright ceremony room made for some really great photographs of the wedding service. The day moved from St Martin's Church in Kirkby to the evening reception at Maghull Town Hall. I've posted two photographs from the days events below.

Fainting also known as Syncope of "black out" is defined as a condition of sudden loss of consciousness followed by the return to full wakefulness in a short duration as a result of abnormally low blood pressure. In most cases, it is caused by hypotension, with blood pressure that's lower than 90/60 mmHg.(1). Even though Low blood pressure has mainly been regarded as good health for people who exercise, but recent studies have indicated an association with depression in elderly people. there are epidemiological evidence for an association of low blood pressure with anxiety and depression, which is not caused by cardiovascular disease.(2). In some case, severely low blood pressure can seriously impair adequate blood flow to vital organs and a life-threatening condition called shock.
B. Diet against syncope
1. Salmon
a. Cardiovascular disease
contains high levels of Omega-3 Fatty Acids that helps to reduce the
levels of bad cholesterol, thus reducing the risk of hardening of
arteries and veins and damaging the functions of amino acids in
repairing the cardiovascular tissues according to the study of "Fish oil
for the treatment of cardiovascular disease" by Weitz D, Weintraub H, Fisher E, Schwartzbard AZ, posted in PubMed(32)
b. Antioxidants
the research of the antioxidant effect of vitamin E after ingestion of
salmon found that that megadoses of vitamin E, far from having
pro-oxidative activity, actually increase the anti-oxidative capacity
of the liver, especially after ingestion of salmon oil, according to "Effects of megadoses of dietary vitamin E on the antioxidant status of rats fed lard or salmon oil" by Flader D, Brandsch C, Hirche F, Eder K.(33)
c. Omega 3 fatty acids
Omega 3
fatty acids is necessary to maintain the ratio of good and bad
cholesterol, thus reducing the risk of cholesterol inflammation
according to the study of "In vitro fatty acid enrichment of macrophages alters inflammatory response and net cholesterol accumulation"
by Wang S, Wu D, Lamon-Fava S, Matthan NR, Honda KL, Lichtenstein
AH., posted in PubMed (IV) and forming of free radical in the heart
cells, leading to heart diseases. It also reduces the risk of plaque
forming in the arterial wall, thus also decreasing the risk of stoke,
according to the study of "N-3 vs. saturated fatty acids: effects on the arterial wall" by Sudheendran S, Chang CC, Deckelbaum RJ., posted in PubMed (34).
2. Flaxseed
a. Cardiovascular health
In the research of Flaxseed and its effect on cardiovascular risk found that
flaxseed can modestly reduce serum total and low-density lipoprotein
cholesterol concentrations, reduce postprandial glucose absorption,
decrease some markers of inflammation, and raise serum levels of the
omega-3 fatty acids, ALA and eicosapentaenoic acid. Data on the
antiplatelet, antioxidant, and hypotensive effects of flaxseed, however,
are inconclusive. More research is needed to define the role of this
functional food in reducing cardiovascular risk, according to "Flaxseed and cardiovascular risk' by Bloedon LT, Szapary PO.(35)
b. Hypercholesterolemic atherosclerosis
In the evaluation of Flaxseed
(Type I flaxseed) and CDC-flaxseed (Type II flaxseed) and theirs
effect onhypercholesterolemic atherosclerosis found that Type II
flaxseed reduced the development of atherosclerosis by 69%, according to
"Reduction of hypercholesterolemic atherosclerosis by CDC-flaxseed with very low alpha-linolenic acid" by Prasad K, Mantha SV, Muir AD, Westcott ND.(36)
c. Omega 3 fatty acids
Besides well known for its benefits for the maintenance of a healthy cardio-vascular system, according to the study of "Omega-3 Fatty acids for cardiovascular disease prevention"
by Defilippis AP, Blaha MJ, Jacobson TA, posted in PubMed(37) and
proper ratio of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acid and prevent blood clotting, it
also extends the portion of your cycle in which you are fertile, by
promoting natural ovulation, according tothe study of "Postpartum
ovarian activity in multiparous Holstein cows treated with bovine
somatotropin and fed n-3 fatty acids in early lactation" by Carriquiry M, Dahlen CR, Weber WJ, Lamb GC, Crooker BA., posted in pubMed (38)
3. Garlic (39)
a, Garlic for VARICOSE VEINS. Garlic helps to keep your blood from
clumping or becoming too sticky, helping your blood move through your
blood vessels and reduces the risk of blood clots. One clove a day
should do the trick. You can also take garlic capsules. CAUTION:
Medication and Garlic could lead to uncontrolled bleeding and spell
HEMORRHAGIC STROKES if it occurs in your brain. To avoid this, take
caution against taking standardized garlic extract. Experts suggest
eating no more than one clove of garlic a day.
b. Garlic For BLOOD FORTIFIER. Raw garlic is said to do a super job of
blood fortifying. It also helps REJUVENATE the body. Eat raw garlic and
garlic supplements daily.
c. Garlic For CHOLESTEROL: Eating 4 cloves of garlic a day can cut total
CHOLESTEROL by 70%(Fresh or Supplement). The member of the allium family
fights poor circulation.The sulfur compound in garlic keep your
platelets from clumping together.
4. Black Beans
a. Nervous system
Protein is
essential for the brain in transmitting information between themselves
and cells in the other parts of the body, thus reducing the blood sugar
levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, reducing the risk of
nervous symptoms cause of anxiety, stress and depression, etc.,
according to the study of "The planar polarity protein Scribble1 is essential for neuronal plasticity and brain
function" by Moreau MM, Piguel N, Papouin T, Koehl M, Durand CM, Rubio
ME, Loll F, Richard EM, Mazzocco C, Racca C, Oliet SH, Abrous DN,
Montcouquiol M, Sans N (40)
b. Antioxidant
Black bean
contains flavoinoid, the powerful antioxidant (it contains more
antioxidant than any bean in the same family with difference skin
colors). It not only enhances the immune system in regulating cells in
DNA replication and division, but also improves the immune system in
fighting against the forming of free radical and protects our body from
infection and inflammation. In a study of "Evaluation of Crocus sativus
L. stigma phenolic and flavonoid compounds and its antioxidant activity" by Karimi E, Oskoueian E, Hendra R, Jaafar HZ., posted in Pubmed (41), researchers found that In summary, saffron stigmas showed antioxidant
activity and methanol appeared to be the best solvent to extract the
active components, among which the presence of gallic acid and
pyrogallol might contribute towards the stigma's antioxidant properties.
c. Low-density lipoprotein
in the evaluation of fermentation on the
contents of total phenolics and amino nitrogen pf balck bean and their
lowering cholesterol effect found that the A. awamori-fermented black
soybean prepared at 30 °C for 3 days exhibited the highest inhibitory
effect on LDL oxidation. The bioactive principles related to the
inhibitory effect on LDL oxidation in black
soybeans, regardless of fermentation, could be most efficiently
extracted with water rather than 80% methanol or 80% ethanol, according
to "Fermentation with Aspergillus
awamori enhanced contents of amino nitrogen and total phenolics as well
as the low-density lipoprotein oxidation inhibitory activity of black soybeans" by Chen YF, Lee SL, Chou CC.(42)
5. Broccoli
a. Potential heart health benefits
In the investigation of cruciferous vegetables which include broccoli,
cabbage and cauliflower and theirs bioactive components in functional
foods effect for the improvement of health found that the molecular
basis of the biological activities of the chemicals present in broccoli
potentially responsible for health promotion, from chemoprevention to
cardio protection, are outlined based on in vitro and in vivo studies
with a note on the structure activity relationship of sulforaphane
and a few other isothiocyanates, according to "Potential health benefits of broccoli- a chemico-biological overview" by Vasanthi HR, Mukherjee S, Das DK.(43)
b. Free radicals
Broccoli helps to
fight against the forming of free radical by detoxificating and
cleansing the toxins accumulated in the body, according to "Effect of broccoli (Brassica oleracea) and its phytochemical sulforaphane in balanced diets on the detoxification enzymes levels of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) exposed to a carcinogenic and mutagenic pollutant" by Villa-Cruz V, Davila J, Viana MT, Vazquez-Duhalt R.(44)
6. Blueberries
a. Antioxidant Capacity
In the investigation of Blueberry
and blackberry wines commercially available in Illinois and theirs
potential health benefits, found that fruit wines made from blueberries
and blackberries may have potential health applications and therefore
could contribute to the economy of the wine industry. Practical
Application: The majority of wines are produced from grapes, but wine
can also be produced from other fruits including blueberries and blackberries, which contain phenolic compounds that may contribute to human health, according to "Comparison of Chemical Composition and Antioxidant Capacity of Commercially Available Blueberry and Blackberry Wines in Illinois" by Johnson MH, Gonzalez de Mejia E.(45)
b. Cardiovascular health
In the determination
of polyphenols, especially anthocyanins, micronutrients, and fiber in
berries, including to chokeberries, cranberries, blueberries,
and strawberries found that purified anthocyanin extracts have
demonstrated significant improvements in LDL oxidation, lipid
peroxidation, total plasma antioxidant capacity, dyslipidemia, and
glucose metabolism. Benefits were seen in healthy subjects and in those
with existing metabolic risk factors. Underlying mechanisms for these
beneficial effects are believed to include upregulation of
endothelial nitric oxide synthase, decreased activities of
carbohydrate digestive enzymes, decreased oxidative stress, and
inhibition of inflammatory gene expression and foam cell formation.
Though limited, these data support the recommendation of berries as an
essential fruit group in a heart-healthy diet, according to " Berries: emerging impact on cardiovascular health" by Basu A, Rhone M, Lyons TJ.(46)

The wife of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, Janet, is facing the wrath of social media after she posted an Instagram photo of her daughter Emma and three other girls dressed in Aboriginal clothing.
WATCH: Wayne Gretzky teaches grandson to stick-handle
Janet Gretzky, 55, captioned the photo "The real girls of Gozzer!!! #emmaparisbryellehermes," making a play on the Real Housewives franchise while referencing Gozzer Ranch, a well-known Gretzky family getaway in Idaho.
Dozens of commenters wrote to Gretzky, lambasting the hockey wife for photographing the girls in traditional First Nations headdresses. They accused her of cultural appropriation and misunderstanding aboriginal culture.
"In Canada, we work tirelessly for understanding and reconciliation with our First Nations people. Your family can do what you like, but with your wealth and high Canadian profile, the cultural insensitivity you have displayed in this post gives me pause and no pleasure," wrote shllclark5.
"Seems a tad bit insensitive. Sure some say we live in a PC world but that's because we have to!! I am a massive fan of Wayne Gretzky and this just doesn't seem like something he'd be on board with. Being Canadian, he is well aware of the struggles of native Indians and their struggle for equality. This pic, and others before it, serve no purpose IMO!!!" said the1soyboy.
READ MORE: Wayne Gretzky reflects back on "The Trade" and career
Others supported Gretzky, saying that people were taking their analysis of the picture too far.
"They are costumes no different than Halloween. Beautiful photo. Beautiful girls. Stay blessed. No offense taken here. Love from a metis in canada," wrote missbabesintoyland.
Many of the comments focus on the traditional bestowing of headdresses in native culture, which is an item earned (usually by men) in Plains cultures. It is very rare for women to receive a headdress, and to wear one without earning it is akin to claiming you have a Bachelor's degree or military medal when you actually don't.
It is a very charged issue, one that was apparently overlooked by Gretzky.

Our first Halloween has come and gone here at 3675, and the big question has been answered:
We are too far uphill for trick or treaters. 😦
We were attracted to this neighborhood because of its elevation. We have a beautiful view, and the hills make it safe, quiet, and above the occasional mayhem of the non-hilly environs west of MacArthur Boulevard. But NOW we know the flip side: those hills also make it a little too much effort for the kiddos in costumes, we think.
How could our real estate agent have failed to mention this? SIGGGHHH.
We saw a few out and about nearby, but they didn't seem to want to trek up to us, despite the fact that several houses besides ours made an effort to show them they were welcome.
In fact, Trent got so into it, he actually devised a strategy for next year, for luring all the children of the East Bay to our street. He just needs the cooperation of the rest of the block, a few key businesses, some good signage, and a wife who will stay enthusiastic.
How could I not?

What watch do I buy next?
Building a watch collection is a labour of love, and it pays to make the right choices. Here's what we'd buy if we could, with options to suit every budget
It's a question that haunts every stylish man: what watch do I buy next? Well, there's often no straightforward answer and it pays to do your research. Thankfully, that's where we come in. Here's what we'd buy right now if we could – from a guilty pleasure to a serious investment – they're all here.
Under £500
You don't have to spend a bomb to get your hands on a smart watch. The Shinola Runwell is a perfect example of a watch that's practical, well made and won't break the bank. The clue's in the name – it's designed to be both reliable and versatile – informed by Shinola's history of rugged American manufacturing. At 47mm in size, it's a chunky piece, with ample room to house its Argonite 1069 high-accuracy movement, and the sub-seconds dial. A great day-to-day watch, yours for well under £450.
£435, shinola.co.uk
If you like the Runwell?
You've got yourself an American classic, so why not try something British next? Farer's a pioneering independent British watchmaker, whose watches mix chic mid-century looks with playful design touches, impressive functionality and top-quality engineering. We're fans of everything from the GMT Automatic, to the Aqua Compressor – but if you're looking for a real steal, the Farer Stark II is a sharp looking thing with its metallic grey sunray dial, cobalt blue and forest green markers, and bevelled brass crown. The 39.5mm case is a practical size and the quartz movement reliable. You can even choose the strap too – we think this tan Barenia calf is a chic choice.

Under £2,500
Hit the £2,000 mark, and it's worth considering something from Glashuette. Germany's fine watchmaking heartland, Glashuette watches bring with them some considerable prestige – and none more so than Nomos Glashutte, whose watches are almost impossibly chic. Simple, elegant and perfect with everything from a sweater and chinos to a suit, the Orion is Nomos's calling card, and the Orion 1989 is particularly cool. Made to celebrate the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, it mixes a 'November grey' dial with gold indexes and as smooth a design as you'll find anywhere. It's attractively slim and carries Nomos's in-house Alpha manual-winding caliber, a movement that's won no shortage of plaudits from critics, and only needs winding every two days.
£2,000, nomos-glashuette.com
Like what you see?
Montblanc champions similarly cool and clean watch designs to those of Nomos, and for a reasonable sum you could walk away with a Swiss-made mechanical like the Heritage Chronométrie Automatic. Embodying the values of Montblanc's iconic Meisterstück, it mixes a silver-white bombé dial with minimalistic polished indexes that complement the polished steel case, with the navy seconds hand providing a subtle touch of colour. Powered by Montblanc's in-house MB 24.09 movement, with a power reserve of 42 hours, it's technically impressive too. It's even water-resistant to 3-bar, if diving happens to be your thing.
£2,275, montblanc.com
Under £5,000
Turn things up a notch, and we can move into thoroughbred Swiss watchmaking territory. Tag Heuer's long been a safe bet for chic yet robust designs that mix a sporty pedigree with everyday wearability. The Heritage Autavia, released last year, links Tag right back to its 1960s racing pedigree. A close aesthetic copy of the original Autavia worn by Jochen Rindt, the only driver to win the Formula 1 World Championship posthumously, this is a handsome thing with a steel case, black bezel and the signature black and white 'panda' dial with counters at three, six and nine o'clock (the purist's preferred layout). It looks the business on a cognac leather strap.
£4,250, tagheuer.com
If you're into the Heuer?
Another Swiss brand that's known for making mean chronographs is Breitling. Now almost two years into CEO Georges Kern's tenure, the brand's been through an impressive evolution, releasing dozens of new models and overhauling old favourites. The Navitimer 8 was Kern's first new watch when he joined, and marked a clear change in step. The most elevated watch in the range is the Navitimer 8 B01 Chronograph, with Breitling's favoured in-house movement, but for under £5,000 the Chronograph 3 is also a great buy – designed with a dark blue sunray dial, brushed steel case, bevelled bezel, and Arabic numerals in a typeface taken from the company's archive. It's a lot of watch for under five-thou, this.

Caulking Services
Residential & Commercial Caulking Services
Rocky Mountain Exteriors & Interiors is Calgary's commercial and residential caulking services specialist. Whether you require caulking for a new construction, or you have a property with failed caulking and/or other building envelope related issues, we provide services to commercial property owners and builders, as well as residential owners.
We can offer our expertise for all aspects of exterior caulking. Our team has a thorough understanding of building design and joint detail, combined with knowledge in choosing the proper caulking type on a site-specific basis.
Our exterior caulking services includes window/door perimeters, expansion joints, control joints, structural silicon glazing, as well as concrete slab crack chase and seal, pipe penetration, and various siding/stucco/cladding terminations. We will locate and investigate problem areas and provide a durable solution.
With a temperamental environment like Calgary and surrounding area, your home needs to stand up to the elements. Which is why it's important to trust caulking professionals who know which products are right for each unique application, while understanding the architectural designs, limitations and tolerances of commercial and residential structures.
Why Caulking Fails
Sealant is used in the exterior joints of every modern building, however, it's usually incorrectly. Owners have high expectations for performance and durability. But, premature sealant failure is common, resulting in air and water infiltration, property damage, and expensive repair work. Design details and installation practices contribute to the service life, but there is a bigger problem in the industry — many sealant products cannot resist movement and weathering, which are their core functions.
Joints sealed with an elastomeric or silicone sealant usually fail from a combination of factors, including a lack of attention to detail. Often, sealants are easily substituted for a cheaper and less effective option. But most commonly, issues are the result of either poor application and incorrectly sized or poorly designed joint details.
Joint Movement
Often in construction, consideration for joint movement is limited to thermal expansion and contraction. However, other factors influence correct sizing and placement. Intersecting walls/change of plane, dissimilar material abutments as well as expansion/contraction/control details require a sealant joint.
Wind loading affects joint placement, not only for structural glazing applications, but also for parapet walls. Moisture-related movement of materials also plays a part. Concrete shrinks as it dries, brick grows as it absorbs water, and wood alternately shrinks and swells. Differential thermal movement between different but adjacent materials must also be accommodated with joints. For example, aluminum or vinyl window frames heat and cool at different rates than siding or stucco etc.
If joints are detailed too far apart, or are made too small, the building simply creates its own. Most often the new joints appear as cracking in the exterior walls and floors, but incorrectly sized or located joints also manifest themselves by causing bending or bowing out of the walls, crushing at the joints, or shearing of the curtain-wall fasteners or masonry ties.
Successful joints require meticulous design, precise sealant selection, and painstaking application.
Adhesive failure
Cohesive failure
The most common types of joint failure are Adhesive Failure and Cohesive Failure
The most common cause of failure in residential applications is that the sealant chosen lacks sufficient movement capacity for its intended use. Often the sealant is selected because of readily available colours.
Commercial applications tend to have stringent product specs. Sealant materials have usually been pre-approved by the architect or engineer. This, however, doesn't mean the joint details are impervious to failure. Insufficient joint layout, or poor joint detail placement, are always contributing factors.
Performance relates to the amount of expected joint movement and the capacity of the sealant to elongate and recover. Low performance sealants will not work in joints that experience movement greater than ± 5 percent of the joint width. Medium performance means that the sealant will work in joints that move up to ± 12.5 percent of the joint width. High performance will take movement in joints greater than ± 12.5 percent.
Recovery characteristics
Recovery characteristics are also important to proper sealant selection. Some sealants stretch, but once subjected to tensile forces, do not easily return to their original shape. This phenomenon's known as stress relaxation. Other sealants experience compression set. This means they remain bulged out after being compressed and do not easily stretch out again. In both cases, the sealant has developed a "memory," which eventually will cause failure. A stress-relaxed sealant will assume a distorted shape when the joint closes. When the joint reopens, the sealant will not stretch as it should from its distorted shape and will fail. A sealant with a compression set will rip from the substrate under the tensile stress developed as the joint opens.
As is the case with paint, sealants will not last forever and need to be undergo maintenance periodically. Many of the old sealants commonly used in the 1980's don't have the ability to expand and contract as required.
A Silicone joint detail lifespan is typically 20+ years and Elastomeric Polyurethane sealant joints should be able to last for 20 or more years while a Polyurethane joint lifespan is typically 5-10 years.
Rocky Mountain Exteriors & Interiors Inc. has been a trusted sealant contractor for many of the biggest construction companies in Calgary and area since our inception in 2012. Our company was founded on this service with 30 years experience. Since then we've grown to a staff with a combined 70+ years focused on building envelope components.
Our services are extended to commercial, residential and institutional applications.

The first thing most fans notice when they see Kevin Garnett play basketball is his passion.
While most people just watch and admire, for Muideen Ogunmola, witnessing KG in action as a Boston Celtic at TD Garden was life-changing.
Check out a sampling of Block Nation's work >>
The Boston-based artist known as "Block Nation" was inspired to recreate Garnett's intensity in an aggressive illustration that would become his signature style.
"Everything's built on Garnett," Ogunmola said in an interview with NESN.com. "That's probably why I love him so much, because he started it. It put me on a whole different path."
Since then, Ogunmola has expanded his subjects to other players like Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal, non-basketball athletes like Derek Jeter and Tom Brady, and even comic book heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman. His work has appeared on Grantland, ESPN.com and in numerous publications, and all of it can be viewed on his website, Facebook page, Twitter or Instagram account.

The derivation of these results for the Dirac theory is identical to that for the KG theory [review the arguments which led from Eq. (4.73) to Eq. (4.78)]. Each of these two expressions for differs from its KG counterpart [which is (4.76b) for the first and (4.78) for the second] only in the sign of the negative energy term. And here, as in the KG theory, the propagation of the negative energy states backward in time is interpreted as the propagation of the corresponding antiparticle states forward in time (recall Fig. 4.3).
The difference in sign of the negative energy contributions to the KG and Dirac expressions for /(2) will appear again in field theory. In that discussion the sign difference will come from the fact that Dirac particles satisfy Fermi-Dirac statistics (i.e., their field operators anticommute) and that when the time ordering of the interactions is changed, as it is for the negative energy states, there is an extra minus sign for fermions.
We now investigate the non-relativistic limit of the Dirac equation. As we did for the Klein-Gordon equation, we will work out the expansion to order (v/c)2 ~ (p/m)2x leading terms. In making our estimates, we assume all potentials V° and V to be of the same order as the kinetic energy term (justified by the virial theorem). Since all of these leading terms are of order p2/m, we want all terms up to order p4/m3.
Assume a positive energy solution of the form where E = m + T. Then, using the Dirac equation, the coupled equations for \{r) and 77(7-) become
In the non-relativistic limit, T, \p\, and all components of |VM| = |e.AM| are assumed to be very much smaller than m. Hence, the second of the two equations (5.52) shows that the lower components of the Dirac spinor are very much smaller than the upper components, and therefore the equations are solved approximately by eliminating the lower components, as we did for the KG equation. However, if we proceed directly by solving the lower equation for 77 and substituting the solution into the equation for x< we obtain
Since T is of the same order as V°, which is ~ p2/m, it is necessary to expand the denominator of the second term if we want to collect all terms of order p4/m3.
Tx = V0x + <r-(p- V)v (2m + T)n = V°r] + (T ■ (p - V) x ■
This expansion gives
Note the presence of the energy T in the last term on the right-hand side. This means that the effective Hamiltonian defined by Eq. (5.54) is dependent on the energy, and an energy-dependent Hamiltonian leads to many complications which should be avoided, if possible. The explicit dependence on the energy should be eliminated. Since the T dependence occurs only in the highest order term, it might seem that it could be removed by replacing it by an estimate obtained from the solution of the lower order equation, i.e.,
However, this method will not give a unique answer because T is a number and commutes with <r • (p — V), while V°, part of the above estimate for T, does not. It is better to attack the problem from a different direction.
A better method, known as the Foldy-Wouthuysen (FW) transformation [FW 50], is to transform the equations to a new form in which the off-diagonal elements of the Hamiltonian are so small that the leading order estimate of the lower components (which does not depend on the energy T) is sufficient to get the effective Hamiltonian to the desired order of accuracy. For example, in this problem where we want the Hamiltonian to order p4/m3, it would be sufficient to reduce the off-diagonal elements to order p2/m. If they were that small, the leading contribution from the lower components would be of order p2/m2, and their contribution to the equation for x would therefore be of order p4/rri3, sufficient for our purposes. In the KG case treated in the last chapter, the off-diagonal elements were initially that small, so we were able to get the desired result immediately. Here, the off-diagonal elements of the Dirac equation are of (larger) order p, so the simplest approach did not work.
To prepare for the application of the FW transformation, return to the matrix equations (5.52), and write them in terms of Dirac matrices
The off-diagonal terms are those involving the Dirac matrices a, and they are large (of order m°). We want to transform the equation so that they are of order m~l. Then, when the equation is solved, T will not enter into the m~3 term.
The equation will be transformed using a general unitary transformation constructed from the Dirac matrices. Since the large off-diagonal terms we wish to
Hence, choosing A = ~ gives
•^off-diag — a ■ V , which is O (m-1) by assumption.
With these approximations, the coupled equations (5.52) become
where only the largest (leading) terms have been retained in every element but H'n, which is yet to be reduced. We may now neglect Trf in the second equation, giving
Noting that the large
The remaining task is to reduce H'n using A = terms proportional to m occur in the combination (-1 + /3), which makes no contribution to the H'n matrix element, we have, to O (m~3),
where the first three terms on the RHS are the expansion of A V°A, the first two in the second line are the expansion of the contributions from Ua-(p — V)U'"1, and the last is the combined contribution from Um0U~l. To further reduce these terms we will use the identity
Using this identity gives
=■ 2p2 -p ■ V - V p - ier ■ (p x V) - ier ■ (V x p) = iP - V)2 +P2 ~ V2 ~ tr ■ [V x V] = (p-V)2+p2-V2-etr-B , (5.68)
where the use of square brackets will mean that p or V operates only within the brackets. Note the new term describing a magnetic moment interaction, which
Darwin term
8m2 v 8m2 8m2 w
Because of the 63(r), this term is non-zero for S-states only. Physically, it comes from quantum fluctuations in the position of the electron, referred to as Zitterbewegung (jittering motion), which make the electron sensitive to the average potential in the vicinity of its average position. The average of the potential is proportional to V20 ~ <53(r), and this accounts for the general structure of the Darwin term.
where S = <r/2 is the electron spin operator. This term is due to the interaction of the electron's magnetic moment with the magnetic field it sees due to its motion and automatically includes the Thomas precession, which reduces the result naively expected by a factor of 2. It is zero in S-states, because L = 0.
The Darwin term contributes only to L = 0 states, and the spin orbit term only to states where L ^ 0, but when both corrections are taken into account, the spin orbit splitting is given by a single formula which depends only on the principal quantum number and the total angular momentum j of the state,
2 n2
The first term is the familiar nonrelativistic result, and the second is the fine structure, which splits states with the same n but different j. In the next chapter we will show that the exact solutions of the Dirac equation also predict levels which depend on n and j only. This gives a good account of the main features of the hydrogen atom spectrum, but the additional ¿-dependent Lamb shift can only be explained by field theory, as we discussed in Chapter 3.
Zeeman Effect (Dirac)
The full Zeeman effect comes from two terms. The orbital part is the same as the result obtained from the KG equation and was calculated in Eq. (4.60). The result is
-¿(P.A+A.PH--ZTL . Combining this with the spin part, —eB ■ cr/2m, gives
Note the factor of 2 for the electron's intrinsic gyromagnetic ratio. This factor has no classical explanation but was discovered empirically before the Dirac equation was discovered. Its automatic appearance in the Dirac theory is one of its major successes and provides the only "explanation" for this effect that we have.
The Dirac space is four-dimensional but is otherwise an abstract space unrelated to physical space-time. To discuss the Lorentz transformation (LT) of a Dirac wave function, the Dirac equation, or a Dirac matrix element requires that we first construct a representation of each Lorentz transformation on the Dirac space and then show that the wave functions and matrix elements transform in such a way that the Dirac equation is invariant in form and the matrix elements transform as scalars, four-vectors, or tensors, depending on their structure. In this section the properties of the Lorentz group will be reviewed, and in the next two sections the representation of the Lorentz group on the Dirac space will be worked out and the construction and transformation of Dirac matrix elements will be discussed.
In Sec. 2.1 we discussed how Lorentz transformations change the space-time coordinates. Any transformation which leaves the metric tensor invariant is, by definition, a LT. In the matrix notation, Eq. (2.8), this was written
The set of all transformations which satisfy this constraint form a group, which is called the homogeneous Lorentz group. The four group properties are easily demonstrated:
• If Ai and A2 are members of the group, then AXA2 is also, because
• The multiplication law (matrix multiplication in this case) is associative:
• There exists an identity A = 1 which is a Lorentz transformation.
• For each A, there exists an inverse A-1 because
and hence det A = ±1, and since it is not zero, A-1 exists. Multiplying Eq. (2.8) by (AT) 1 from the left and A-1 from the right gives
G = (A_1)t GA"1 showing that A-1 is a Lorentz transformation.
Figure 5.3 illustrates this continuity by showing the four classes as disconnected regions, with a continuous distribution of transformations within each region (class). The figure and the above equations show that to study the homogeneous Lorentz group, it is sufficient to study the group of continuous transformations L\ and the two discrete transformations T and P.
The complex LT's must also have detA = ±1, but the restriction (5.78) on Aoo no longer holds [because (Aj0)2 need no longer be positive]. Therefore
Continuity with
Aoo > 1 detA = +1
orthochronous, proper restricted group
Aoo < -1 detA = +1
non-orthochronous, proper
Aoo > 1 detA = -1
orthochronous, improper
Aoo < -1 detA = -1
non-orthochronous improper
the complex LT's separate into only two classes, depending on the sign of the determinant, and the transformations in L\ and L\j_ can now be connected by a continuous path. As an example of such a "path," consider the transformations
cos 6
- sinö
sin 0
cos 8
i sin#
which depend on the continuous parameter 9. These transformations satisfy (2.8) for all values of 9 and hence map out a continuous path of transformations in the space of complex LT's. By varying 9 continuously from 0 to 7r, we are able to connect the transformations 1 and -1. This fact will be of crucial importance to our discussion of the PCT theorem in Sec. 8.7.*
Infinitesimal Transformations in l\
Consider the real LT's in the subgroup L\. Because they can be continuously connected to the identity, they can be written
where 9 is a number and A is said to be the generator of the transformation A. [This is assumed without proof. It is a general property of a continuous group.] The structure of the group can be inferred from the structure of the generators A.
To study this structure, it is sufficient to consider those transformations for v hich 9 = e is infinitesimally small. In this case, the transformations can be expanded and only the first order terms retained, so that
It is easy to determine the structure of A from this equation, which looks like A31 A41 \

It starts with the software vendor's additional costs (after all they are in business to make money) and carries on throughout the implementation.
One solution is to identify the total cost of ownership, not just the software, as clearly as you can prior to acquisition. If you establish and compare the total costs associated with each software package for 1 year and 5 years from the date of acquisition, you will have a much better idea of what to expect. Fairly obviously, a low cost for software does not necessarily mean that it is the best overall value.
Another solution is to look out for potential hidden costs and either include them or a contingency, and then manage them as best as possible at the time they occur. To help, here is a (not exhaustive) list of such potential hidden costs:
The software application licence - the modules you really need, rather than what you would like to have (or be talked into), what the prices are based on - number of concurrent system users, number of employees or records (eg for Human Resources Software), number of transactions or a mix of these? What are the different price bands? How it will work out for your organisation?
Training costs – number of days and day rate. What is the typical amount of training required for the average customer and specifically, what would be required for your organisation? What is the cost of setting up a training facility on your site? Or to use the vendor's facilities?

Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele suspended for two games/will miss Clasico – Marca
Barcelona see off Sevilla
FC Barcelona faced off with Sevilla on Sunday evening, as they looked to close the gap on league leaders Real Madrid.
The Catalan giants would come away with a resounding 4-0 victory, thanks to goals from Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi, Arturo Vidal and Ousmane Dembele.
Barcelona had a slightly rocky start to the new season, but their league form has since improved, emerging victorious in their last three La Liga outings.
Barcelona are now just two points behind Los Blancos, as we begin the international break.
Highlights: Barcelona 4-Sevilla 0
Dembele to miss Real Madrid clash
While Ousmane Dembele would bag Barca's third goal vs Sevilla, the Frenchman would cap his evening off by being sent off.
The reason for Dembele's dismissal was reportedly because he told the referee that he is 'very bad'.
Now, on Wednesday the 9th of October, Spanish outlet Marca have reported that the Frenchman will serve a two-game ban for his dismissal on Sunday:
The competition committee have confirmed this Wednesday morning that the Frenchman's suspension will be for two games.
With his suspension set to be carried out for two games, Dembele will now be unavailable for Barcelona's upcoming clash with Real Madrid.
The La Liga champions' first game back after the international break sees them travel to Eibar on October 19th, which Dembele will miss.
But Barca must then play host to Real on October 26th, the second tie of Dembele's two-game ban.

COLUMBIA, Mo. - Missouri has suspended starting tailback and team captain Derrick Washington indefinitely.
The suspension was announced before Thursday's scrimmage in Columbia without explanation.
Missouri opens the season Sept. 4 against Illinois.
LOS ANGELES - Southern California has been stripped of the 2004 Grantland Rice Trophy, which is awarded by the Football Writers Association of America to the nation's top college football team.
The organization said Thursday that a committee of current and former officers voted to revoke the honor after USC was penalized for NCAA violations. It did not award the trophy to another school.
In June, USC received a two-year bowl ban, four years' probation, loss of scholarships and forfeits of an entire year's games. The punishment was for improper benefits to Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush dating to the Trojans' 2004 national championship.
The BCS has said it will likely force USC to vacate its title but won't act until the NCAA hears the Trojans' appeal.
