Only one team in the NFL remains undefeated. That team, the Kansas City Chiefs, remain number 1 on my 2017 NFL Week 5 Power Rankings. I also moved up 3 AFC teams. The first NFC team I've got on the rankings are the Atlanta Falcons at number 5. What it means is that the balance of power ultimately remains in the AFC even though some NFC teams have shown up and played well the past couple of weeks.
2017 NFL Week 5 Power Rankings
1. Kansas City Chiefs (4-0)
The Chiefs' defense is ranked 26th in yards allowed per game. Opponents are good for 359.5 total yards per game. That's not a great stat. What is a great stat about the Chiefs' D is that it only allows 19.2 points per game. When your offense averages over 30 per, and you allow only 19 per, you're going to win a lot of football games.
2. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-1)
Pittsburgh finally got the offense going without Big Ben throwing to Antonio Brown. Brown only caught 4 passes for 34 yards in Pitt's 26 to 9 win over Baltimore.
3. Buffalo Bills (3-1)
Buffalo deserves to be 3 on my power rankings. They've gone 3 and 1 straight up and just dominated Atlanta 23 to 17. Buffalo is a solid team in every phase of the game, defense, offense, and special teams.
4. Denver Broncos (3-1)
I'll put Denver ahead of Atlanta because the Broncos beat a decent rival, the Oakland Raiders, 16 to 10 in NFL Week 4. Denver's defense did a great job against Oakland's offense. It must be noted that the Raiders lost QB Derek Carr early in this game, though.
5. Atlanta Falcons (3-1)
Atlanta's offense isn't nearly as formidable this season as it was last season. It's taking time for new offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian and QB Matt Ryan to get on the same page. WR Julio Jones suffered an injury. He should be okay. If I'm Matty Ice, I'm throwing to Julio at least 20 times in the next game. That will be the best way to get the offense back on track.
6. Green Bay Packers (3-1)
The Packers' 35 to 14 win over to Chicago was to be expected. Green Bay always dominates the Chicago Bears.
7. Los Angeles Rams (3-1)
The Rams jump into the Top 10 because they beat Dallas 35 to 30 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. L.A. was down to the Cowboys before getting back into the game. The Rams' defense isn't amazing. The offense definitely is. What was inspiring is watching RB Todd Gurley not only rush for 121 yards, but also catch 7 passes for 94 yards and a TD.
8. Detroit Lions (3-1)
Detroit's 14 to 7 win over Minnesota was marred by Minnesota rookie RB Dalvin Cook going down with an ACL tear. The Lions are consistent. That could be good enough for Detroit to win the NFC North Division this season.
9. Carolina Panthers (3-1)
The Panthers are tied with Atlanta atop the deep NFC South after upsetting New England 33 to 30 in Foxboro. Cam Newton was exceptional. Carolina's Week 5 game at Detroit is huge.
10. Philadelphia Eagles (3-1)
The Eagles proved that they're a force to reckon with in what's become a disappointing NFC East Division by beating the L.A. Chargers. Philly QB Carson Wentz has thrown 6 TD passes to 2 picks. Not bad.
11. New England Patriots (2-2)
The Patriots just aren't the same team from a year ago. The problem is New England's defense. Opponents rush for 132.8 yards per. If the Pats bring up an extra defender, opponents throw for 324 yards per.
12. Seattle Seahawks (2-2)
I'm not fooled by Seattle's 46 to 18 win over Indianapolis on Sunday night. 14 of the points were a direct result of Indianapolis' mistakes on offense. Not only that, Seattle QB Russell Wilson threw 2 interceptions versus one of the worst defenses in the NFL. Now, if Seattle manages to beat the Rams in the L.A. Coliseum by 10 points in Week 5, I'll be sold.
13. Oakland Raiders (2-2)
QB Derek Carr is only out for a couple of weeks. Oakland deserves some mention as a Top 15 team after only losing by 6 points to Denver in Denver. The defense played much better versus the Broncos than it had a week before against Washington.
14. New Orleans Saints (2-2)
Maybe, the Saints are too high on my power rankings. Maybe, I'm allowing my personal feelings, my fan feelings, to get in the way of logic. Then, I remember that before dominating Miami 20 to 0 in Week 4, the Saints beat up Carolina on the road 34 to 17 in Week 3. It sure looks like the Saints' defense has come together.
15. Washington Redskins (2-2)
The Redskins played well when losing 20 to 29 to Kansas City in Week 4. Washington might turn out to be the best team in the NFC East with Dallas just not playing up to par and the Giants at 0 and 4.
16. Dallas Cowboys (2-2)
The 30 to 35 loss to the Rams could have been avoided. Ezekiel Elliott was fantastic in the game. For some reason, Dallas insists on turning QB Dak Prescott into Cam Newton. He's not. He's a viable starting quarterback in the NFL that shouldn't have to do too much for Dallas to win games.
17. Houston Texans (2-2)
Rookie QB DeShaun Watson threw 5 TD passes. I'm not sure Watson is this good this early in his career. We'll learn more when the Texans host the Chiefs on Sunday.
18. Minnesota Vikings (2-2)
It's difficult for me to drop the Vikings past 18th after their 7 to 14 loss to Detroit. Minnesota must now lean on RB Latavius Murray because RB Dalvin Cook is out likely out for the season. Murray has a surgically repaired ankle. When healthy, he's a big back that can break a big gain once in a while. I hope Murray works out in Minnesota because I feel bad for Cook, the Vikings, and their fans.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1)
Tampa Bay is 2 and 1. But, the Bucs needed a final seconds field goal from Nick Folk to beat the New York Giants. Tampa's got a ridiculously tough matchup in Week 5 versus the angry New England Patriots.
20. Tennessee Titans (2-2)
The Tennessee Titans might be without Marcus Mariota for a couple of weeks. If Mariota can't go, Tennessee could be in some trouble. The biggest problem with the Titans is their lack of a real pass rush. The defense was supposed to be much better this season. It isn't.
21. New York Jets (2-2)
The Jets are, dare I write it, good. The Jets beat Jacksonville 23 to 20 in overtime. The win came on the heels of a 20 to 6 victory over the Miami Dolphins. J-E-T-S is tied in second place, a game behind the Buffalo Bills, with the Patriots in the AFC East Division.
22. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-2)
The Jaguars had their chances. Jacksonville is a frustrating bunch. They're brilliant one week, the 44 to 7 beat down of Baltimore in England was real, and horrible the next. They weren't horrible versus the New York Jets. They did tie the game in regulation, but when will the Jags become consistent?
23. Arizona Cardinals (2-2)
If not for the brilliant catch by Larry Fitzgerald in overtime, Arizona might have lost to the San Francisco 49'ers. Based on what I've seen from San Francisco, Seattle, and Arizona, the L.A. Rams have nothing to worry about in the NFC West.
24. Cincinnati Bengals (1-3)
Sure, Cincinnati got to beat up the Cleveland Browns in Week 4. A wins a win, though. The Bengals got off the schneide. For that, they jump up to 24th in my power rankings.
25. Chicago Bears (1-3)
Losing to the Green Bay Packers by a lot of points is a yearly, foregone, conclusion. Coach John Fox is starting Mitch Trubisky at QB in Week 5. That could help Chicago's offense get back on track.
26. Baltimore Ravens (2-2)
Sure, I get that Baltimore is 2 and 2. But, I don't see any heart out of the Ravens. Zero. It's almost like Baltimore decided to kneel during the National Anthem in England and then never got up. The one saving grace is RB Alex Collins. He once again averaged over 9 yards per carry.
27. Miami Dolphins (1-2)
After the impressive road win versus San Diego in Miami's first game of the season, the Fins have fallen off the plank. Not even scoring a single point versus the Saints is a huge issue. Yes, the Saints' defense is improving. It hasn't improved that much.
28. Indianapolis Colts (1-3)
Good times aren't looking up for the Colts. Are the Football Gods still angry at Indianapolis because of Deflategate? Maybe. Since Deflategate, the Patriots have won another Super Bowl. Indianapolis? They've been one of the worst teams in the NFL.
29. San Francisco 49'ers (0-4)
The feeling going into this season is that San Francisco's offense might be decent while the defense was going to be terrible. Head coach Kyle Shanahan is a former offensive coordinator. Not so. The 49'ers defense is actually pretty good. The offense isn't as bad as the 0 and 4 record indicates. SF should soon win a football game.
30. Los Angeles Chargers (0-4)
Until the Bolts win a game at home, I'm just going to write down the attendance at the Stub Hub Center in Carson, California, for every Los Angeles Chargers' home game. NFL Week 4's attendance was 25, 374.
31. New York Giants (0-4)
It's inexcusable for a proud franchise like the New York Giants to be 0 and 4. Nobody can blame Eli Manning for the 23 to 25 loss to Tampa Bay. Eli threw 2 TD passes and rushed for another TD.
32. Cleveland Browns (0-4)
I haven't seen a single change on offense or defense since the near upset over Pittsburgh in Week 1. The Browns lack of focus on either offense or defense is becoming ridiculous. Unless Cleveland changes something, they might go 0 and 16 this season.

Scoop samples a rather obscure 1960s 125 – the Puch M125 – and comes away rather impressed.
More than a decade ago I was offered a strange looking Austrian 125cc motorcycle, but at a meaty price. It was said to be the very bike featured on the front cover of our forerunner, Motorcycle Mechanics. I looked, examined and kicked the tyres as you do but then politely declined. After all this time another one comes up on my radar and we're offered the chance of a road test.
Other than the VZ50 that we ran in Buying Guide a little while ago, I really cannot recall the last time CMM featured a Puch. Although the Austrian firm was a significant player in the motorcycle world for decades, the marque was never especially well represented in the UK other than in the moped market. Their motorcycles were always well made and utilised quality components from well-known suppliers within Europe but this, allied to the old Austrian Schilling-UK GBP exchange rate, meant the end products were never cheap here in Blighty.

Nowadays the marketing guys would spin the cost of an M125 Puch by saying it was a niche model made up to specification, not down to a price. However, our test bike hales from the very late 1960s, a period when small capacity motorcycles were still perceived as commuter transport, not recreational vehicles.
Stacked up against the likes of BSA's 175 Bantam, few blue-collar workers of the period would have given the M125 a second look, given that it was 50ccs smaller yet cost more.
The first thing that strikes you about the Puch is the fact that it isn't actually that small, well, not in the way an early Japanese 125 was. It's actually a relatively substantial motorcycle and one that's been designed with neither a British or Japanese mind set.
Secondly, the few that know anything about the model will spot a couple of non-standard fitments, but these have been added in the names of usability and safety. Generic, eBay sourced, switch gear replaces the OEM kit that hadn't weathered the decades too well and some Fizzy-type pattern indicators give anyone nearby ample warning of rider intentions. Other than that the bike is genuine Austrian Puch as it left the factory.
The most obvious stand-out feature of the bike is that red chassis which, when set against the metallic silver of the panel work, gives the bike a unique look given the period in which it was sold. The engine is a simple piston-ported two-stroke single, yet everything about it shouts high quality. There's deep, multiple finning on the barrel and a seriously effective, heat-dispersing, radially-finned cylinder head, which strongly suggests Puch didn't want their high-class tiddler seizing whatever the terrain or weather.
The bike has elements of both the old and new about as it moved towards the 1970s. By then even the Japanese had grasped that motorcycle theft could be an issue, yet Puch saw no reason to fit an ignition switch, instead gifting the M125 just a kill button. Perhaps, a little perversely, the bike runs plastic side-panels, yet the air-box they cover is made from cast alloy; you begin to realise that this most definitely is not your average, humble, pre-mix commuter.
Being Austrian, the bike is by default Teutonic in design and build, yet due to its geography the factory's buyers apparently looked all over Europe for the component parts they didn't have in-house. Both front and rear lights are CEV Italian, as is the seamed, shark's gilled, Silentium Jet 'silencer'… more of which later.
This unit must have been serious business for the Italian producer as, beneath their logos, there's a 'PUCH' stamping, suggesting that the Austrian firm was ordering in decent numbers and had some serious clout with their suppliers.
The speedo is high-end German VDO and the same goes for the carburettor which is marked BING; everywhere you look the bike almost drips quality. And then you get to the seat, which was supplied by none other than Denfield of West Germany. That name probably means little to many, but anyone who has had dealings with earlier BMWs will know that Denfield were the preferred supplier of official accessory seats to the Bavarian firm. It's a work of art being built around a perimeter frame and sprung base rather than a steel pressing and some foam.
Once sampled you're likely to be an immediate convert to the apparently archaic set up. The best analogy I can give is finally getting to sleep in your own bed rather than lying on an Argos-sourced futon for the weekend! Another easily overlooked feature is the adjustable footrests, which facilitate a reasonably wide range of adjustment allowing the pilot to fine tune the riding the position.
With no ignition key, firing up the M125 is simply a case of turning on the fuel and kicking the engine over. That this bike is a product of the 1960s is in no doubt as the silencer barks out its raucous tone. The notion of noise pollution was only just getting popular coverage when the Puch first turned a wheel and, as we know from previous experience, Italian manufacturers firmly believed bikes and cars should be heard as well as seen. Also vying for attention is the rather profound fin ringing from fairly prodigious alloy castings – this isn't going to be quiet ride then.
The clutch is light in operation and predictable, regardless of how hot the engine gets. The four-speed gearbox is precise in use, overtly mechanical yet not agricultural; it's not slick like a Japanese transmission, yet neither is it clunky like certain East European offerings.
Its one foible, by dint of having just four ratios, is the significant gaps between each gear. Whereas contemporary Japanese machines would have run three fairly closely spaced first, second and third then have top (fourth) almost as an overdrive, the Austrian bike has all four gears evenly spaced. This, therefore, requires the rider to work the engine relatively hard if the next upward change isn't going to leave the engine bogged down outside the power band.
All credit to the simple engine; it takes all this abuse and more without issue or complaint. The engine is relatively buzzy at lower revs and some vibration does get through to the bars, but it disappears as the revs rise. The more you ride the bike the more you realise it's not a commuter slogger in the way machines such as BSA Bantams, CZ175s or MZ TS150s – it likes be worked and worked hard.

Three new[*] assassination styles demonstrated from Galata Tower. All involve prolongued free fall and, in that sense, are loosely related to the Eagle Strike. Please watch the video first and then join me below the fold for the descriptions.
The first one is for the show off trophy, basically I have to jump at an angle so I dont do a leap of faith, and then parachute onto the zipline.
A ghost run is pretty much impossible with fists due to both captains being so close together, so I decided to go back to Mysterious Death. I used the poison bomb and smoke bomb to lure them to one spot and take them both out at the same time.
For this memory, you are required to kill a Den captain to reclaim the Den for the assassins. I messed around in it, and this is the end result. Sadly, I wasn't able to record an eagle strike, though I know how to jump and all that (tip: use eagle sense to direct Ezio's gaze very precisely, which makes difficult jumps much easier). Anyway, on to the video.

Primary tabs
Hasty Soup.
Ye lovers of good Hasty Soup,
Well spiced with Graham Bread,
See how the startled Locos droop,
Before the war-horse tread.
Already now they hear their doom,
In tones of old Whig thunder;
While Cherubusco's cannons boom,
Farewell to Pierce and plunder.
Our foes for once mistake their game;
Loud let the welkin ring,
From Maine to Georgia's sunny plain,
Our freemen want no King.
Old Cerro Gordo's on the track,
With mien erect and fierce,
While frightened Locos looking back,
Exclaim, alas for Pierce!
But still our hero pushes on,
The race is getting hot,
While Pierce and King in anguish groan --
Then clear the way for Scott.
Deep in the ditch they seek to lodge
Old Cerro Gordo's balls;
From morn to night they're seen to dodge
Old Cerro Gordo's balls.
Then when emerging from the fight,
Our foes in full retreat,
Salt River's cooling shades invite
Their weary wandering feet.
Then here's three cheers for Hasty Soup,
Three more for Graham Bread,
For with this motto brave Whig troops
To victory are led.

Dispatcher Audiobook Cover Reveal
Posted on September 22, 2016 Posted by John Scalzi 25 Comments
Less than two weeks now until October 4, which is the day my audiobook novella The Dispatcher is released into the world, so today is a very fine day to reveal the audiobook cover. And here it is!
Pretty cool, yes? Who is that dude in the overcoat? Why is he looking at concrete? Does he just really like concrete? Who knows the answers? Well, I do, since I wrote the thing. And very soon now, you will have the answers as well. That is, if you download the audio to listen to. Did I mention that it's narrated by Zachary Quinto? Well, it is, and just after it was recorded I got a note from the producer that said, essentially, ZOMG IT IS SOOO GOOD. Which I think is a positive response.
Oh, and also, this is where I remind you that until November 2, you can download The Dispatcher entirely for free (and you can pre-order now, so it will be ready for you on October 4). Why are we just giving this story away? Because we like you. Yes, you. And don't you deserve a free audiobook from me, read by Zachary Quinto, from Audible, every once in a while? Sure you do.
(Also, you know. If you try this and like it, maybe you'll check out some other audiobooks too, which is what Audible is all about. Heck, and maybe even some of those other audiobooks will be from me. So we do have a tiny bit of self-interest in there, too. Hope you don't mind.)
I say this every time I talk about The Dispatcher, and it continues to be true: I'm really excited for you folks to listen to this story. I think it's a really cool story, and the thought of Quinto reading it to you all just makes me squee like the nerd I am. I think you will, too. It's going to be great.
Not long now!

Looks spooky! Can't wait to enjoy this :)
Have you met Zachary Quinto yet? Is he anything like the Lieutenant Quinto in The Shadow War of the Night Dragons?
And in that dark and stormy night, upon the walls of Smaelkaven, the imperial castle of Skalandarharia, two guards stood, upon a watch.
"Is it a dark night," said Barnas, the first.
"Aye, and stormy too," said Ruell, the second.
"Have you ever seen a storm like it?" asked Barnas.
"Only once," said Ruell.
"Yet if it were not for the lightning, we wouldn't be able to see at all," Barnas said. "It is so dark that I would lose my sword at the end of my hand."
"And that is why we must be on our guard!" said a third voice, booming from beside them. The two guards drew their swords; lightning flashed above them as they did so, revealing the form of Quinto, their lieutenant, standing on the wall. Thunder pealed shortly thereafter, shaking them all.
"Had I not spoken, I would have been upon the two of you like a demon," Quinto said, to Barnas and Ruell.
"Well, it is dark," Barnas said.
"And you're wearing black," said Ruell.
"And you're on your tiptoes," Barnas said.
"I don't want your excuses," Quinto said, bringing his feet down. "If you can't defend this castle you might as well not be guards at all."
I'm not sure I get the concept of the job from the description. Since (for some unknown reason) 999/1000 times that you intentionally kill someone, they come back, is the intent to intentionally kill people who would otherwise be unintentionally killed, with the goal of using that 0.1% chance to avoid the 100% chance?
Nice cover! I look forward to the story.
Thank you for a free book, I will be downloading this as I really like your work and am looking forward to hearing Zachary's performance…. but I also like to actually read a book and to listen to the voices in my own head (which makes me sound strange). Even though you've chosen to launch this in a different format (I'm not questioning your right to choose how to output your work, it's yours after all, and that's why I'll be downloading the audiobook), will you be eventually releasing it as an e book? I'll buy it.
The anticipation for this book is making me squee too! Scalzi and Quinto.. I'm drooling.
I've got some sort of weird brain, where I can't concentrate on having something read to me, I need visual input as well or my attention wanders from what I'm listening to. Which is a long winded way of asking if there will be an ebook/print version at some point in the future, as this isn't a format that works for everyone?
Speech-to-text assistive software, now is your time to shine! …:D?
As I've noted before, there will be a print/ebook version from Subterranean Press, which is likely to be available mid-2017.
Length: Not Yet Known
Well, for our benefit, how many words is it?
Cool that it's free. Just out of curiosity, is it also free of DRM?
You're the best! Thank you!
Audible is really pushing the "first one's free, kid!" strategy these days, what with Audible Channels now being free for Prime users and also this offer (and, I assume but am too lazy to find out, others like it). In my opinion, this is an excellent long-term strategy: speaking only for myself, give me a handful of freebies and over the next ten years I'm liable to make it worth your while. It gladdens me to see just about company acting in a way that shows it's looking beyond the next quarterly report.
Will this audiobook be captioned? You know, for the deaf?
Hi John: I'm an aficionado of fine audio books, having hundreds on my list. And please enjoy a drink on me; surely some pittance from my purchase price of all your books (except Zoe's Tale, sorry, tour de force that it is, Zoe's POV just didn't work for me, although Zoe is a very fine girl).
What I'm saying is that, yes, I consider myself something of a seasoned expert on the subject of audio books. And having now plowed through hundreds, I can say that a book reader is more than a reader. It is ACTING, people, and it is a serious deal.
Some of the finest actors do the voices, some don't (John Lee, for instance), and are still very fine.
And I am very happy that these performers are getting more recognition.
But this is the first time I've seen the actor's name as big as the author's name– and more prominently placed, too, with arguably improved font handling.
Good re the future e-book as I am severely deaf :).
Re: the size of Z.Q's name on the cover: In fact that was my idea. They showed me the first pass cover treatments and I suggested bumping up the size of his name because I thought it would look better, deslign-wise, and my ego is sufficiently secure that I don't need to have my name bigger than the narrator. And as you note, an audiobook is about performance and writing together. So they bumped up the size of his name, and yes, it looks better now.
Looking forward to it! When do you get to hear it? It's kind of fun for me as a reader (or listener in this case) to know that you as the author have to wait a bit too.
Pre-ordered the day you first mentioned it. Oct. 4 is going to be difficult for me, as it is also the date (in the U.S.) that Crosstalk by Connie Willis is released, and which I've also pre-ordered. So excited for both!
I, too, love listening to audiobooks if they're well done. I adore James Marsters as the narrator for the Dresden Files books. When John Glover did GHOST STORY, due to scheduling issues for Marsters, I got the hardback instead, as just the sample of Glover reading was enough to put me off. It wasn't horrible, just not the "right" voice. Recently I discovered that they had Marsters re-record it based on fan feedback. It was SO worth it!
I bought the Kindle version of LOCK IN and it wasn't until I was finished reading that I discovered the gender-not-specified feature. I had a male voice in my head for Chris, but I want to listen to both audio versions and see what that does to the story for me.
What fun!
I too will be waiting for the ebook, but I can imagine how chuffed you are that ZQ is your reader/performer/whatever the term of art is. He made an absolutely perfect Mr. Spock, and I didn't think it could be done!
Got mine. Can't wait!
Preordered and looking forward to it. Many thanks.
I preordered and can't wait! I'm a long-time Audible listener and this book is free even if you are not a new customer. I'm still waiting for Lock-In to become a series. Please?

Sporting terminate the contract of Felipe Borges
Foto: facebook.com/borgeshand18
The Portuguese club Sporting Clube de Portugal have terminated the contract with the Brazilian left wing Felipe Borges due to a shoulder injury.
The captain of the Brazilian national team, who fails to compete in the Olympics, due to a shoulder injury he suffered in the preparations, is now a free agent.
The former Montpellier HB-player had signed a contract with the Portuguese top club Sporting CP, but because of the serious injury Sporting CP have decided to terminate the contract. The player himself confirms it on Twitter:
"I will not play for the club this year, as they have terminated my contract due to the injury. I must accept, recover and return."
The 31-year-old Brazilian has played for the following clubs:
1997-2007: Metodista/São Bernardo, Brazil
2007-2009: BM Aragon, Spain
2010-2011: EC Pinheiros, Brazil
2011-2013: Ademar Leon, Spain
2013-2016: Montpellier HB, France
Instead of Felipe Borges Sporting CP have signed the experienced Serbian left wing Ivan Nikčević (last season Wisla Plock, Poland) on a 1-year contract to the summer of 2017.
Felipe Borges is one of the best players without a contract this season. See the free agent list here.

Baer also recommended that road hearings be suspended again in 2020. "Until we get funds and resources to sustain them, we are not in a position to accept new roads."
Commissioner Rich Cimino asked if this was normal within the other 64 counties in the state. Baer told him he knew Routt and Summit were both suspended. County Manager Kate McIntire said they would do more research and discuss again when preparing the 2021 budget.
Colorado Workforce Office Closes
The Workforce Center, located in Granby, closed in December when the director moved away. The lease with the county expires at the end of February, leaving the county with additional space to be used for alternate needs. County Manager McIntire said she would review the space and make suggestions for use of the vacant space.
Kremmling citizens petition reinstatement of Police Chief Lucas
In the BOCC dropbox, a petition had been submitted to the Supreme Court Regulations Council, State Attorney General, Grand County Manager and Board of County Commissioners requesting reinstatement of Kremmling Police Chief Jamie Lucas.
The petitioner, Bridget Ryszkowski, had gathered 147 signatures in support of the request.
Commissioner Merrit Linke questioned the commissioners' role and authority in the matter.
County Attorney Chris Leahy told the commissioners that he had spoken with District Attorney Matt Karzen. Karzen told Leahy he welcomed the commissioners contacting him by phone or in person, as he is in Grand County two days a week.
Commissioner Chair Manguso asked if they could meet in an executive session, "so we all hear the same thing".
Leahy said there were no statutes that allowed for a discussion on the matter with the DA in a closed setting, since the recording of the executive session could be requested later.
Manguso said, "The only role I see is information gathering. The Sheriff's Office is now patrolling Kremmling at no charge, which takes them off of other duties where they get paid. That is a concern of ours. This whole issue happened in unincorporated Grand County. It has negatively affected the town of Kremmling and it involves another town – Winter Park, who are conducting the investigation. This could be a very big deal and at a minimum, we should be informed."
Linke said, "Right now, we don't have a clear role. The information we gather right now might be critical in the future."
Manguso directed McIntire and Leahy, "The three of us would like to set this up either as an Executive Session or as a workshop with the DA. Let's see how that goes."
The Grand County Board of County Commissioners meet the first four Tuesdays of every month at 8:30 am. To listen to the meetings and learn more, visit co.grand.co.us.

Incidental observations in previous research at the BHU hinted that off-the-shelf culinary (cooking) oils may have a herbicidal effect. The FFC has studied the effect of a range of culinary oils for their herbicidal effects on a range of weed and crop species. It showed that some oils could kill some plants, and rapeseed oil was the best overall performer. It is hoped that this preliminary look will be a springboard for future research, and due to culinary oils being edible, and therefore very safe to use, farmers will also be able to experiment to see if they are both effective and economic for their farming systems.
One of the issues with herbicides is they are synthetic (xenobiotic) so biology often lacks the chemistry to decompose them, meaning they can persist in the environment and cause harmful non-target effects, e.g., polluting rivers. Many farmers and scientists have looked for natural (eobiotic) herbicides, as, being naturally occurring they should have a much lower risk to the environment (though not necessarily safer for people). Among the many materials tested over the years have been essential oils, such as clove, coriander and thyme, on the basis they are chemically and biologically active, which is considered a prerequisite for herbicidal ability. However, while scientifically interesting, from a practical viewpoint, they are complete non-starters due to the very high cost of the oils, making them completely uneconomic, even for the highest value crops, as all alternative weed control methods are much cheaper.
Alongside research into the combining of steam with fish fertiliser as a systemic herbicide, conducted in the mid 2000s at the Biological Husbandry Unit (Merfield, 2007), it was noted that some of the vegetable oils being tested, when applied without steam (i.e., by themselves) to mixed pasture, had a herbicidal effect, especially the RBD (refined, bleached and deodorised) rape seed oil. The RBD refining process removes the reactive chemicals, such as omega fatty acids, from the raw oil leaving only chemically stable / inactive compounds, to give it a long shelf life and safe to use for deep frying / at high temperatures. The RBD canola oil appeared to translocate within the plant and then cause it to completely die, i.e., it had a systemic action, similar to glyphosate (aka Roundup). In comparison, more chemically active oils, such as unrefined linseed (Linum usitatissimum) oil, caused the contacted foliage to die-off, but otherwise leave the plant unharmed. Culinary oils, especially mass produced ones such as rapeseed oil, are vastly less expensive than essential oils, and therefore, may be economically viable to use as herbicides, especially for higher value crops. The Future Farming Centre, therefore undertook preliminary experiments test a range of culinary oils for their herbicidal activity (Hodge et al., 2018).
Four oils were compared, olive, sunflower, rapeseed and linseed, with both a raw and refined form, e.g., organic extra virgin olive vs. extra light olive oil, to see if the more chemically reactive raw forms and the chemically more inert, refined / processed, forms achieved the same herbicidal activity. They were tested on a range of plants, dicots and monocots, both crop plants and weeds.
Results and discussion
Overall, the results were mixed. Most plants had their dry matter reduced by most oils, but not all. RBD rapeseed proved the most effective overall, achieving a 90% reduction in oat (Avena sativa) dry matter compared to untreated controls, while buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) was much more tolerant of rapeseed oil with only a 19% reduction in dry matter.
Generally there was no difference between the raw and processed oils, though in some specific cases there was an interaction between plant species and oil type, for example, organic linseed oil completely eradicated alyssum (Lobularia maritima). This undermines the hypothesis formed after the steam and fish trial that it was the lack of chemical reactivity of the RBC rapeseed oil that killed the pasture. However, the alyssum and olive oil example indicates there may be some selective effects, i.e., a particular oil may kill or inhibit some plant species but not others.
However, overall the research clearly shows that it is not only essential oils that have herbicidal properties, but, common culinary oils such as rapeseed and refined oils, can also have herbicidal effects.
This study also used dry matter as its measurement, and this often fails to differentiate between live and dead plants, as dead plants often do not have time to decompose before weights are taken. Visual inspection of the trial plants indicated there were such differences with some plants being entirely killed while others were only inhibited. However, for some crops, inhibiting weeds compared to the crop plants may allow the crop to gain a competitive advantage, and therefore still provide a benefit even though the weeds are not killed.
Overall, the research provides a preliminary examination of the use of culinary oils as herbicides and shows that while they are no panacea, herbicidal effects have been achieved, some completely killing the plants. The experiment was also unsuited to economic analysis, so cost-benefit also needs to be established. However, there are also off-the record reports of farmers and growers in South America already using culinary oils as herbicides, indicating that in some situations, the are both effective and economic. By definition, being foodstuffs, culinary oils are very safe, unlike some existing organic herbicides such as concentrated vinegar (acetic acid) and plant oil derived fatty acids, that are corrosive and/or toxic to humans and soil biology, and also essential oils which can be harmful in concentrated forms or larger volumes.
It is therefore hoped that this preliminary work, acts as a springboard for more detailed studies looking at a wider range of oils and weeds in more realistic situations than a glasshouse. In addition, plant physiology and biochemistry studies are required to elucidate how the oils are achieving their effects and therefore be able to identify more effective materials to improve on the mixed results achieved here. As culinary oils are very safe / non-toxic, it is also perfectly possible for farmers and growers to experiment with such oils on their own farms, to see if they are effective for their particular crop-weed combinations, and to work out if they would be economically viable.

Big Bang Theory's Motherly Voice Speaks Out
Always intrigued by the unknown, that motherly voice of Big Bang Theory's resident womanizer Howard is speaking up on a couple questions we fans have all been wondering…
Carol Ann Susi is the actress behind the voice of Wolowitz's overbearing mother, and I think it's safe to say that she is quickly establishing herself as one of television's great unseen characters! Susi, whose on-camera credits include Seinfeld's famous episode with Keith Hernandez, "The Boyfriend", admits that yes, she's "really that loud in real life"!
Fans are all wondering if we will ever see the face behind the voice appear on the show, but even for Susi…it's a mystery. "I'm told never. In the second season, [creator] Chuck Lorre came up to me and said, "Do you mind if we never see you for the next 10 years? Because that voice is the voice of Carlton the Doorman." But I've always been an on-camera actress, so to suddenly be doing voice-over stuff is fabulous."
Fabulous yes, and perhaps the mystery is what keeps us all loving those "screams of death" in Howard's eyes. Fans wonder though, does it ever affect her voice once the audio stops rolling? "Yes! [I drink] a lot of water. I've now taken to singing every morning. It warms up the voice."
And does she ever get recognized in public solely due to her voice alone? "Sometimes, yes. I once got outed by a waitress while having dinner. She started screaming, "Oh, my God! How-ard!" And I've even been outed by a bus driver. I don't drive. I live in L.A., but I take the bus. I know, I'm weird!"
So there you have it Big Bang fans: water and singing lessons are the key to a beloved [and hated I must say for Howard's defense], voice like that. But sadly, the world is still at mystery on whether we'll ever see a frightened Howard staring back at the face of that "loving" woman he calls mother!

Mattress Performance
Motion Isolation
Memory foam beds are known for excellent motion isolation. The Nectar Mattress's foam layers absorb movement making it ideal for couples. Motion transfer is reduced, so you won't get easily disrupted by your partner's movements throughout the night. It also makes no noise, perfect for those who frequently change positions during sleep.
Edge Support
Foam mattresses don't usually have great edge support. Edge support is the level of support provided by the sides of a bed. Edge support is what makes you feel as if you are about to fall off the bed.
Nectar Mattress has a remarkable edge support, which is not common for other foam mattresses. This is due to the medium-firm thickness, which prevents the excessive loss of support. You can sit on the edge of the Nectar Mattresses without falling off the side. If you're sharing your bed with somebody, this might be an essential factor to consider.
Pressure relief
The Nectar Mattress provides excellent pressure relief for most sleepers.
Denser layers beneath the top layer may provide a supportive surface for stomach and back sleepers. Memory foam cushions the hips and shoulders, aligns the spine, and relieves side sleepers of pressure.
The mattress is best suited for sleepers who weigh 230 pounds or less. People who weigh more than 230 pounds may still find it comfortable if they sleep on their sides. However, it might be too soft around the stomach and lead to excessive sinking. For stomach and back sleepers, this can lead to more pressure at the midsection.
All-foam mattresses are generally known to absorb and trap body heat. The Nectar Mattress is no exception. The Nectar might not be the best choice for people prone to sleeping hot. The best cooling mattresses are usually the ones made of coils or latex.
The Nectar Mattress offers better temperature control than most foam mattresses. The comfort layer draws heat away from the body by using a gel-infused memory and breathable cover. This helps to prevent the top of the mattress from feeling too hot.
Mattress Construction
The Nectar Mattress measures 12 inches in thickness, which is average for an all-foam mattress. The topmost layer comprises a 3-inch comfort layer of memory foam. This is designed for pressure relief, cushions the hips, shoulders, and lower back. Cooling gel is added to this layer to keep the mattress cool.
Below the comfort layer is two inches of soft polyfoam. As a transitional layer, it's designed to prevent excessive sinking and provide extra reinforcement. It is denser than the top layer and is firmer.
Lastly, the final layer comprises seven inches of high-density polyfoam. This gives the mattress stability. This thick layer is durable and supports the mattress.
To prevent the mattress from moving throughout the night, it has a bottom covering with anti-slip material.
The entire mattress is encased in a cover made of polyester, nylon, and polyethylene, crafted with a circular knit for a softer feel. The cover is made of polyethylene, which is highly breathable and keeps the mattress' surface cool.

Sleeping Style and Body Weight
The Nectar Mattress is medium-firm in thickness and offers the ideal balance of support and comfort. The top layer of the mattress is soft and allows the sleeper to sink in. The layers below the top are firmer and denser, offering more support.
The Nectar mattress is more firm than other memory foam beds. It contours well to the body and provides excellent support.
Let's take a closer look at how supportive and comfortable the Nectar mattress is for different sleeping positions and body weights.
Side sleepers will love the Nectar Mattress' all-foam design. It is medium-firm and comfortable. The memory foam layers offer good spine support and cushioning for your hips and shoulders. Side sleepers can have an uneven spine alignment when sleeping on their backs. The mattress relieves pressure along the spine.
The mattress will be comfortable and supportive for average weight side sleepers, who are between 130 lbs and 230 lbs. Heavy side sleepers may need a mattress with a thicker comfort coating to prevent them from sinking too deeply through the top layer. This can cause more pressure on the shoulders and hips. Lightweight side sleepers might also find it a bit too firm for the joints.
The medium-firm thickness will be sufficient for back sleepers weighing up to 230 lbs. The layers conform to the body and provide good spinal support. The mattress might be less supportive for heavier sleepers who are more weight-back. They might experience deeper sinkage between the shoulders and hips, leading to greater pressure on the joints.
Stomach sleepers need more support and contouring to avoid sinkage. The Nectar Mattress is good enough for most stomach sleepers, with its medium firmness. The base and transitional layers offer enough support to keep the stomach and chest from sinking. Stomach sleepers will experience sinkage just like back sleepers. However, stomach sleepers with more weight may require a firmer mattress. Stomach sleepers may feel their stomachs and hips sink into the mattress. This can lead to lower back strain.
Available Mattresses
Nectar offers three different mattress options: the original Nectar mattress, the Nectar Premier, and Premier Copper.
Nectar Mattress
The Nectar Mattress is the signature mattress from Nectar. You can choose from the following sizes: full, queen, king or twin XL.
This mattress is all-foam and has a gel-infused top. The comfort layer is 3-inches thick and features memory foam. This gives it the same body-hugging feel as memory foam beds. It's followed by a transitional layer, then high-density polyfoam for the base layer to provide stability. This combination creates a medium-firm mattress which is both soft and supportive for most people.
Nectar Premier Mattress
The Premier Mattress is an inch thicker than the original, with five layers of foam. It comes in the following sizes: twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, and cal king. It provides more cushioning than the original mattress, making it great for side sleepers who want more pressure relief. The top layer of phase-change material makes it cooler.
Nectar Premier Copper Mattress
Premier Copper is named after the copper-infused cover, which helps regulate temperature. The Copper is the coolest of all Nectar mattresses. It's also their tallest mattress, at 14 inches. It is ideal for heavier sleepers who need a thicker mattress. You can choose from the following sizes: full, queen, king or twin XL.
> > Click Here to Shop Nectar Mattress Now < <
Pricing, Sleep Trial, and Warranty
The Nectar comes at an affordable price-point compared to other foam mattresses from other brands. It's a quality foam mattress, offering excellent value for money.
Original Nectar Mattresses start at $798 for twins, $1,298 per queen and $1,598 per cal king. You can save even more when you purchase on a promotion. Nectar often offers discounts that are several hundred dollars lower than the original price.
Overall, the Nectar is an excellent option for people on a tight budget and those who want a high-quality memory foam mattress without breaking the bank. Nectar Mattress Package Stolen From Doorstep
You can purchase the Nectar Mattress through their official website and online retailers and marketplaces like Amazon. The mattresses are also now available in more than a thousand brick-and-mortar stores in the US.
Sleep trial
Nectar offers a generous 365-night sleep trial, which is longer than other mattress brands. You will need to test out the mattress for at least 30 days to give your body time to adjust to a new mattress. You can return the mattress within 30 days for a full refund Nectar Mattress Package Stolen From Doorstep
During the trial period, exchanges are allowed. You will receive a full refund if you return your mattress within the first year. You may reach out to customer service to help you with the return process. Once you return your bed, it will be donated to charity.
Nectar Mattress offers a lifetime warranty. This is a remarkable offer as not many mattress companies offer lifetime warranties. Nectar will replace any mattress that is defective within the first 10 year. The warranty is only available to the original purchasers of the mattress purchased from Nectar, or authorized retailers.
Final Verdict
Nectar's memory foam mattresses offer an outstanding balance of comfort and support at a fantastic value. This combination of layers gives you body contouring and pressure relief support. It's an excellent choice for most sleepers who want a soft memory foam bed. If you're looking for the body-hugging, comfortable feel of memory foam at an affordable price, then this is for you.

From the title and the artwork, Michigan Indie Uke artist Marlowe seems to want to convey that this is an album of Island sounds. Some of it is. "White Christmas" and "Rudolph" feature Island rhythms. But some, like "Christmas Time Is Here", is straight ahead Jazz. Marlowe does both very well, but does leave me wishing he'd gone in one direction or the other. For Jazz, "Christmas Time Is Here" is superb, in a Bela Fleck kinda way. For a dreamy Island feeling (even though it's also Jazzy), I gotta go with "Santa Baby". In fact that might be one of the best versions of "Santa Baby" I've heard. Who knew all you had to do was drop the lyrics and focus on the melody? Some of the songs are just Uke, some feature Sax and keys, and it's all instrumental. For me, "The Makana Collection", name-your-price at Bandcamp, is one of those things you download to pick out a few favorite tracks rather than to listen to all the way through more than once. Again, Marlowe's very good, but the record just doesn't have that cohesiveness I look for.

Welsh Hound Breed Maintenance
The Welsh Hound does have a dense coat that will shed, this means they are not a hypoallergenic breed and do require regular grooming to keep their coats healthy. Their coat does require weekly brushing using a slicker brush or even a natural bristle brush. A metal comb may be needed to remove any tangles from their medium length coat. They shed seasonally, during these times be sure to brush them more often to keep hairs from collecting around the house. They do have a harsh coat that should repel dirt so they should not need to be bathed often. When bathing, be sure to use a shampoo that is for harsh coats and do not over-condition their coat, this will soften the coat too much. Being a hound with hanging ears be sure to clean their ears weekly. Dry their ears thoroughly to ensure no infection can start. Trim the hair between the pads of their feet and clip their nails as needed.

According to a report published on 16 January by France's Sickness Insurance Fund-Occupational Health, in 2016 more than 10 000 workplace accidents were a result of mental health issues.
In all, 626 000 workplace accidents were reported in France in 2016. Mental health problems thus accounted for 1.6 % of all occupational accidents resulting in absences from work.
The recognition rate of workplace accidents caused by mental illnesses was around 70 %, which is considerably lower than the rate for all accidents combined (93 %).
Sick leave for mental health problems recognised as workplace accidents was 112 days on average, compared to 65 days for accidents as a whole.
The Sickness Insurance Fund estimated that these illnesses cost EUR 230 million in 2016. In comparison, lower back pain caused by work cost EUR 1 billion.
According to the Fund's figures, 60 % of mental health-related occupational accidents affect women. Women in their 40s are particularly at risk: among workers aged 40 to 49, women are between 1.5 and 2 times more likely to be affected.
Three professions are particularly vulnerable to mental health problems: medical/social work (18 % of recognised cases), transport (15 %) and retail (13 %).

The application server fails to start with the following error in the application server log:
ERROR com.appiancorp.common.config.ConfigObject - An error occurred while trying to initialize the config object com.appiancorp.type.config.plugin.PojoDatatypesConfig
Cause: An error occurred while trying to save the type information to the Appian data source. No types have been imported. Cause: No DatatypeModel was found for any of the following ids to be updated: ##EXTERNAL IDS AND APPIAN ERROR CODE##
The cause for this is that primary database (specifically the DT_MODEL table) is out of sync with the design engine. This mainly happens during upgrades when the migration of the engine database files (*.kdb) is done incorrectly. This could be if you are using older files to perform the upgrade. This could also happen if you are switching primary databases (unsupported), tampered in some way with that table or pointing it to a brand new database on the new version even though you are migrating from a previous version.
If the database has been tampered in some way in the past, the error would show up during migration, and not on an application server restart. This would happen because the design engine attempts to synchronize with the primary database specifically after a migration.
Query the DT_MODEL table to see if the ID is present in the primary database first. If it is not present or if the namespace of the row is not http://www.appian.com/ae/types/2009, then it is a clear indication of a problem. If this is a migration, make sure you are using the latest engine database files (*.kdb) for all engines. You can checkpoint the engine in the old system to get the latest database file (pd_*.kdb) to attempt the upgrade again. If it is determined to have been caused by a tampering, the best way is to recover from a backup.
Another way to proceed is to start over with a fresh installation and import all applications from the old installation. However, all data would be lost, meaning this is only recommended for development and test environments.
If you determine that all of the upgrade steps were followed correctly and there are no inconsistencies between the engine and DT_MODEL table then this could be a race condition during propagation of data types after the migration. A restart of the application server should fix this issue.
This article applies to all versions of Appian.

Voiceless: Trigger Warnings, Safe Spaces and Freedom of Speech
"I never thought we could find something more complex and complicated. This was the most complicated subject yet, many layers," said American University (AU) professor Amy Eisman. This semester, Eisman's Writing and Editing for Convergent Media course explored safe spaces, trigger warnings and freedom of speech as their semester-long immersion project. The students delved into researching the intricacies of these topics, getting to the root of them and seeing how they fit into the student narrative, especially on AU's campus.
Junior Katelyn Becker, who served as the Survey Chief on the project, said the idea came from the heavy media coverage of the issues. As a class, the students decided that people needed to hear college students' perspective, according to Becker. Some of the topics included: hateful comments on Yik Yak, gender neutral bathrooms, safe spaces for veterans on campus, and so much more.
"We wanted to cover a wide range of issues: free speech trigger warnings and safe spaces," said AU School of Communication graduate student and Managing Editor of the project, Edward Graham. "In the end, we came up with the idea of Voice Less . We wanted to play on the idea of voice and less. Who dominates the conversation on campus, who should dominate it - issues of comfortability. These are all issues we explored."
The course is designed to emulate a real life newsroom where each student has a role and works on stories both separately and together to produce accessible and thought provoking content for a specific community. On Friday, students presented their work with members of the SOC community, including journalism division director, professor John Watson, and associate professor Angie Chuang. The presentation included students sharing the process of the story they produced, highlights of the course, struggles, and what they learned.
"The purpose of this class, overall, each semester is to teach the students to dive deeply into one topic and to all aspects of a working newsroom," said Eisman. "The secondary purpose, which is just as important, is to take a topic and grapple with it. [To] not just do a one shot interview and then leave."
The students have put together a home for the content that was created over the course of the semester. Along with Professor Eisman, NBCWashington.com's Wendy Warren assisted students in shaping their stories and to give professional perspective in terms of professional media. This is the second year that NBC Washington is partnering with Eisman's class. Past partners include, WAMU 88.5 and Gannett.
In terms of the controversial topics of safe spaces, trigger warnings and freedom of speech, students continuously stated throughout the presentation how researching these topics allowed them to learn about what they believe and stand for.
"If I could change something, I would shine a light on why people ask for these things," said Social Media Editor, Zachary Moore. "I feel like the idea of why people ask for these things is because they don't want to face certain ideas is a misconception, or a politicized conception. The reality is a lot of people want this because they want to be psychologically healthy. I wish more people understood that."
Eisman hopes that the experience of this course truly prepares students for the real journalism world.
"In term of the process, I think they learned how difficult it is to do journalism right," said Eisman. "In terms of the content, they learned how wrong it would be to be superficial with such and important topic. They learned about the depth of the reporting. My goal is that they come out of here deeper journalists with a better understanding of what it's like to do an in-depth project."

It is generally a good sign when a novel grabs your attention from the first page and The Last Winter of Dani Lancing achieves just that by introducing us to the key characters and setting up a murder mystery that piques curiosity and will keep you turning the pages.
We are introduced to Dani and her father Jim and it quickly becomes clear that something has happened to Dani which continues to have a huge impact on her father.
Before long, we realise that Dani is, in fact, a ghost and that Jim and his wife Patty have separated some time after Dani was murdered.
Patty, a journalist determined to find the person responsible for hurting her daughter, is initially terrifying and her quest for the truth drives much of the action in this intricately plotted novel.
Other key players are Tom Bevans, a young policeman who was in love with Dani at the time that she was killed, and the family of the prime suspect, Duncan Cobhurn.
This is an impressive debut novel that is part part psychological thriller, part ghost story, part crime and part murder mystery.As the story unfolds, the threads linking these various characters become increasingly interwoven in a complex and intriguing manner. While there are, perhaps, a few too many twists in the tale, there is no denying that The Last Winter of Dani Lancing will grip many readers' attention to the very last page.
As the action plays out towards the end of the novel, I could visualise it as a scene from a movie and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see The Last Winter of Dani Lancing making it on to our screens before long.
The Last Winter of Dani Lancing is published by Crown (2013). ISBN 9780804136822; eISBN 9780804136839.

There are many signs that your child may need orthodontic treatment. In addition to common indicators like misaligned or crowded teeth, speech problems and eating habits can also make your dental team aware of possible orthodontic issues, especially for younger kids. More than ever orthodontists are recommending early treatment to avoid more serious problems down the road. Here are some tips on how to spot potential indicators of the need for orthodontic treatment.
What Are Early Signs That My Child May Need Orthodontic Treatment?
According to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) there is a range of signs that your child may need orthodontic attention.
Problems related to alignment and spacing include:
- Crossbites (when the top teeth sit outside the bottom teeth)
- Crowding
- Excessive overjet (protrusion of the top teeth)
- Underbite (front bottom teeth sit in front of top teeth when biting on the back teeth)
- Uneven or unusual spacing
In some cases a chipped tooth can indicate a bite misalignment, offering evidence that the upper and lower teeth are not meshing properly.
Other factors that can indicate possible orthodontic problems include:
- Speech problems
- Trouble with chewing or biting
- Mouth breathing
- Teeth grinding or clenching
- Food pocketing (When children store hard to chew food in "pockets' between their cheek or lips and gums. This is usually related to chewing or biting issues.)
What Causes Orthodontic Problems In Children?
Many orthodontic problems are genetic, but other causes can include habits like thumb or finger sucking. Early or late loss of baby teeth can also cause problems as teeth shift in the mouth or become overcrowded.
What Are The Benefits Of Early Orthodontic Intervention?
According to the AAO, treating younger children can provide results that may not be possible once the face and jaws have finished growing. Catching problems early can help avoid bigger, more costly problems in the future.
According to the AAO, benefits of early treatment include:
- Allowing professionals to guide jaw growth
- Lowering the risk of damage to protruded front teeth
- Correcting harmful oral habits (like thumb sucking and teeth grinding)
- Guiding permanent teeth into a better position as they come in
When Is The Right Time For An Orthodontic Screening?
According to the American Dental Association, abnormal bites usually become visible between the ages of 6 and 12, and orthodontic treatment usually begins between age 8 and 14. The AAO recommends an initial screening by age 7 to catch potential problems. One of the advantages of a dental practice that includes both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics is the seamless continuum of care offered by providers. Dental and orthodontic teams work together to identify potential problems and address or monitor them as needed. Your dentist may notice issues as early as age 5 or 6 and can provide an immediate referral for an orthodontic screening.
Does Your Child Need Braces? Your Dental Office Is Here To Help
As our understanding of tooth and jaw development progresses, the benefits of early orthodontic care are becoming clearer. Deciding on early orthodontic care–and picking the best time to intervene– can be challenging for families. That's why regular visits to a trusted dental practitioner are the best way to keep tabs on your child's orthodontic health. When a dentist catches a potential problem in a toddler, they can refer the child to a trusted colleague, which can reduce the duration and cost of future treatments. Building a relationship with a dedicated and caring pediatric dental practice is a great way to establish trust and gain peace of mind.

Remember when photos were shiny card things we kept in albums? I found this one yesterday. Back when I was in The Boys and not long after we'd toured with The Ramones I seemed to be wanting to impersonate them with the leather jacket, T Shirt and haircut. Either that or it was a wig but I've never had one of those.
Liz, my then girlfriend and now wife, and I had that day arrived back from holiday on Lanzarote (hence the healthy glow) and being party animals headed off to Dingwalls in Camden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingwalls, a legendary venue where the DJ, pictured behind us, announced after an early Boys gig that we were the worst band ever to grace their stage. A couple of months later with our first single out they were begging us to go back.
But on this night Liz and I witnessed one of the unluckiest pick up attempts in the history of unrequited love. I had gone to the bar for a couple of drinks and returned to find a young man, about my height, similarly dressed, ernestly trying to engage Liz in conversation. "Tell him who you are" said Liz to the young man, pointing at me. So he looked at me, a flicker of doubt in his eyes and said: "Erm, I'm Kid Reid from The Boys".
"That's brilliant", I said: "So am I".
He was gone, faster than a speeding bullet. But how many people will be able to say that someone tried to pick up their girlfriend by saying they were them?
Photo albums. Wonderful things in a lockdown.
