2012 NFL Power Rankings
My pre-draft 2012 NFL Power Rankings. I'm going to eventually use these rankings as the order for my 2013 NFL Mock Draft updates. Follow @walterfootball. I've gone from WORST to FIRST, so if you don't see reverse numbering (via Javascript), don't worry; the Rams, Buccaneers and Jaguars aren't my top teams. Updated: 5/4 |
- Minnesota Vikings (3-13) - Previously: 31.
MAY 4 UPDATE: R.I.P. Rick Spielman kielbasa jokes. You would have been very funny.
On a serious note, it's very difficult to rank the Vikings because Adrian Peterson's status is unknown. He's already running sprints with the team, but it all depends on when he can cut well. I still have my doubts; the Vikings are choosing first in my 2013 NFL Mock Draft. If Peterson's not healthy, they're the worst team in the NFL. If he is, I'll move Minnesota up these rankings during the summer.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: As I wrote in my 2012 NFL Draft Rumor Mill page, if Rick Spielman doesn't trade down and passes on Matt Kalil, he should be fired on the spot. Why draft a quarterback so high if you're not going to build around him with the best prospects on the board? It doesn't make sense.
If the Vikings draft Justin Blackmon or Morris Claiborne, Ponder's bust rate will increase. On a positive note, perhaps Ponder, Sam Bradford and David Carr will be able to share a room at a mental health facility after they retire.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: It's a slight concern that Christian Ponder regressed throughout his rookie season, prompting many Viking fans to chant for Joe Webb. It's a major concern that Adrian Peterson may not be available until Halloween coming off a torn ACL. Poor Vikes.
- Miami Dolphins (6-10) - Previously: 30.
MAY 4 UPDATE: Will the 2012 Dolphins have the worst receiving corps in NFL history? Brian Hartline, Davone Bess, Clyde Gates, B.J. Cunningham and Rishard Matthews won't exactly give opposing defensive coordinators nightmares leading up to the game.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: I totally believe the rumors that say no one wants to play for the Dolphins because of Jeff Ireland. When you ask one player if his mother is a whore, everyone else takes notice. I don't care if she gives head for $1.75 in the Whiskey Tango parking lot; it's just something you don't ask anyone.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: Defense certainly wasn't the problem for the Dolphins last season. So, why are they switching schemes? It makes no sense. Hiring Joe Philbin at this moment was a mistake, in my opinion, and it doesn't look like he's off to a good start. We'll see though. Maybe he's the right guy for the job, but I have my doubts.
- St. Louis Rams (2-14) - Previously: 29.
MAY 4 UPDATE: I think the Rams will regret passing on Morris Claiborne and David DeCastro - especially the latter when Sam Bradford shatters into a million pieces as he's sacked by the great Bruce Irvin.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: St. Louis couldn't get Jason Jones, but it settled for Kendall Langford in addition to Finnegan and Scott Wells. The Rams are better, but they still need to focus on improving Sam Bradford's supporting cast before the young quarterback becomes David Carr. I highly doubt that Bradford wants to wake up in a cold sweat every night screaming, "AHHHHH HE'S GOING TO SACK ME, WHY DIDN'T YOU DRAFT ANY TALENTED LINEMEN, AHHHH!?!?!"
MARCH 9 UPDATE: The Rams had so many injuries last year. With Jeff Fisher on the sidelines and the talent he'll be able to bring in (Cortland Finnegan, Jason Jones?), St. Louis could be a bit of a sleeper to win four, maybe five games in 2012.
- Oakland Raiders (8-8) - Previously: 27.
MAY 4 UPDATE: I don't know what's going on. Did the Raiders draft without a coach? Or was the cardboard cutout of Al Davis in the war room? I'm so confused about Oakland's coaching situation.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: I'm still not sure who Oakland's head coach is. They might as well get a cardboard cutout of Al Davis and put it on the sidelines. What does it matter? The real coach is just going to be fired in a few weeks anyway.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: The Raiders are going to be terrible next year. They're changing defensive schemes, getting rid of key players and preparing for another season of Carson Palmer. And why do they keep switching coaches every two seconds? I don't even know who the coach is anymore. Is it still Art Shell?
- Cleveland Browns (4-12) - Previously: 32.
MAY 4 UPDATE: Brandon Weeden says his age is an advantage. It is. He can get the senior-citizen discount at the movie theater and sneak all of his teammates in.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: E-mailer Jon S. asked why I hate the Browns. My response? "I don't hate the Browns. I just point out that they suck because, well, they suck." I currently have them selecting first in my 2013 NFL Mock Draft.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: The Browns have to get Robert Griffin. They just have to. I'd laugh at them if they manage to screw this up, but their fans deserve much better than this. I mean, seriously, look at what one Cleveland fan wrote on GameCenter: "Browns are going too score...... BEST DAY IN MY LIFE!!!!"
- Indianapolis Colts (2-14) - Previously: 28.
MAY 4 UPDATE: It's a good thing Andrew Luck can't report to the Colts until June. He has major architectural work he needs to accomplish. Besides, Jim Irsay would just have him rank his top 20 favorite cereals in order.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: I found the following Jim Irsay tweet amusing: "Tannehill is a hidden gem in this draft,a quiet secret who was always sneaking up to #3..you want him,you better talk to Zigi The Biggie!"
Why? Because I reported that Irsay loves Tannehill a couple of weeks ago. But Pro Football Talk and Rotoworld ignored my groundbreaking news. Fools!
MARCH 9 UPDATE: Is it a coincidence that the Colts' next quarterback is named Andrew Luck? I wonder what Taton has to say about this...
colt need draft r.griffit insted of a.lock. a.lock will not quit throw imcomplete. r.griffit can run ball not throw inturcepcion and impcomplete. best thing p.maning go he was wash up. and byebye cach caswell he lick penas in showor with jim isray!!!
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-12) - Previously: 26.
MAY 4 UPDATE: Mark Barron could be good for the Buccaneers, but I have trouble seeing how he suddenly became the second coming of Ed Reed during Draft Week. He was once considered by many to be a fringe first-round prospect. I don't think the history of players rising that quickly prior to the draft is very good.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: Though I didn't give the Vincent Jackson signing a good grade in my 2012 NFL Free Agent Grades page, I'm going to move the Buccaneers up a bit because of that and some of the other moves they made. I don't think Tampa has improved as much as most people think it has, but the Bucs aren't the worst team in the NFL anymore.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: The star running back didn't work hard. The star receiver fell asleep during meetings. The head coach didn't put enough time into film prep. The top cornerback could be heading to prison. The first-round quarterback will be learning a new system. The Buccaneers are the worst team in the NFL.
- Jacksonville Jaguars (5-11) - Previously: 25.
MAY 4 UPDATE: General managers love to complement their young quarterbacks with weapons. For instance, the Rams added two receivers for Sam Bradford. The Colts found a pair of tight ends for Andrew Luck. And the Jaguars snagged a punter for Blaine Gabbert - perhaps the most natural fit of the bunch.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: Once in a while, I'll hear someone say on TV or write to me in an e-mail: "How can you say that Blaine Gabbert is a bust? He was only a rookie, and he didn't have any receivers!" Umm... you can call a quarterback a bust if he's too scared to play the position. He closes his eyes when he throws the ball. Here's proof:
That's pretty bad. What's worse is that I can't put the Jaguars atop my 2013 NFL Mock Draft because their defense and running game are really stout. FML.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: Jacksonville's defense was solid last year, but the unit will be losing some players to free agency. Plus, it's unlikely that Maurice Jones-Drew will be fully effective again, given the workload he shouldered. Oh, and then there's Blaine Gabbert being a lost cause.
But cheer up, Jag fans - you can attack former players like Hugh Douglas! Check out this heated exchange between Douglas and someone on Twitter:
I found this amusing, so I tweeted (@walterfootball) at Hugh: "@Bighugh53 Hugh, why didn't you get 40 sacks like you promised when you signed with the Dolphins!? Everyone was expecting you to!"
- Seattle Seahawks (7-9) - Previously: 23.
MAY 4 UPDATE: It's a good thing that Bazuzu, the dark spirit controlling Pete Carroll (and formerly Al Davis) is obsessed with 40 times and not, let's say, destroying the entire universe. Otherwise, we'd all be in trouble.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: Guess Seattle managed to land its franchise quarterback. Maybe. Seahawk fans weren't happy that I said this, but I think it's a huge concern that the Dolphins were willing to pay Matt Flynn half as much as Seattle was. Does Joe Philbin think that Flynn is just a mediocre signal-callers? Is Jeff Ireland concerned that Flynn's mom might be a whore? Or is Stephen Ross saving up his money so he can go clubbing with Emilio Estevez? Seahawk fans better hope it's not the former.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: I have no idea what the Seahawks are going to do. They're in that tough spot, where they're not good enough to make the playoffs (not happening since the 49ers are great), but they're not bad enough to land a franchise quarterback. Seattle has gone 7-9 two years in a row now, and I don't see its win total changing dramatically in the next couple of years.
- New York Jets (8-8) - Previously: 19.
MAY 4 UPDATE: Tim Tebow thrived with a Georgia Tech receiver in Denver. He'll do so again in New York. Nice Stephen Hill pick.
By the way, I need to say something about the idiots on TV whining that the Tebow trade will ruin Mark Sanchez's confidence. If Sanchez's confidence is so fragile that it can be rattled by some competition, then he shouldn't be a starting quarterback in the NFL.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: I can't believe people don't think that Tim Tebow will eventually overtake Mark Sanchez at quarterback. Sanchez pretty much cried when the move was made. Real quarterbacks don't cry. They pray to God, preach at Easter sermons and circumcise babies. Sanchez doesn't do any of that, and that's exactly why he'll be benched by Halloween.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: The Jets are kind of screwed. Their defense is declining, while Mark Sanchez has inexplicably regressed. Oh, and they're keeping the malcontent receiver who was partly to blame for last year's late-season implosion. It wouldn't surprise me to see New York take a major tumble down the standings.
Meanwhile, Rex Ryan attempted to comfort his fans with good news. Suraj L. sent over Ryan's recent quote to me:
"Holmes and Sanchez are getting together this offseason to work on their relationship."
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
- Arizona Cardinals (8-8) - Previously: 24.
MAY 4 UPDATE: Larry Fitzgerald wanted Kevin Kolb. He got him. Larry Fitzgerald wanted Michael Floyd. He got him. What will he want next? Perhaps next year he should go to management and say, "Trade our first-round pick for a boat full of 200 hot chicks wearing bikinis." I guarantee that deal would go down.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: So much for Peyton Manning. Time for more Kevin Kolb until he's benched for John Skelton. It's just a shame that Larry Fitzgerald will have to deal with mediocre quarterbacking for the third straight year. Manning to Fitzgerald would have been pretty sweet.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: The Cardinals will soar up these rankings if they land Peyton Manning. Yes, they'll be instant Super Bowl contenders if he's at least 80 percent of what he once was.
- San Diego Chargers (8-8) - Previously: 22.
MAY 4 UPDATE: RIP Junior Seau. It's insane that he's the eighth member of the 1994 Chargers Super Bowl team to pass away already. I'd chalk it up to a coincidence, but when you hear that one player was struck by lightning twice, it makes you think.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: I'd write something clever and funny, but I just saw "He should try whacking off and splooging into the owner's cereal" written below and nearly gagged.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: I'm now convinced that Norv Turner can do anything and not get fired. He should try whacking off and splooging into the owner's cereal one morning. He'll still be the coach of the Chargers if he does that - guaranteed.
I don't get it. Why is San Diego content with constant underachievement and mediocrity? If I rooted for the Chargers, I'd be losing my mind right now.
- Denver Broncos (8-8) - Previously: 11.
MAY 4 UPDATE: My proudest moment this weekend was correctly guessing that the Broncos would draft Brock Osweiler. Why? Because this allowed me to tweet at Woody Paige: "I totally nailed that pick!" Unfortunately, Woody was probably busy buying senior-citizen-discounted movie tickets with Brandon Weeden to check his Twitter account.
If you're wondering, I've moved the Broncos down so much because I'm much less confident that Peyton Manning is ready to play after John Elway's ridiculous antics during Draft Weekend. He's clearly building toward the future. I mean, think about it, Manning was already declining in 2010, pre-neck surgery. Getting rid of Tebow could really blow up in Elway's stubborn face.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: I'm not sure how high to rank the Broncos. On one hand, they just signed Peyton Manning. On the other hand, Manning is coming off a serious neck procedure and looked like he was slowing down at the end of the 2010 season. He's no sure thing. Oh, and you better believe that God will smite John Elway for getting rid of Tebow.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: Some may say that I have the Broncos too high. I say that you can enjoy your eternal stay with Satan for rooting against Tim Tebow.
- Cincinnati Bengals (9-7) - Previously: 20.
MAY 4 UPDATE: I received some hate mail for giving the Bengals a B in my 2012 NFL Draft Grades. An excerpt:
"your incompetant and and complete hack..."
I'll have more on this in Jerks of the Week on Monday.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: I've written this ad nauseum, but the Bengals need to use the 21st-overall pick to sign Mike Wallace. He's better than anyone available at that spot, and he's only 26. Cincinnati would be hurting its arch rival, and the team has enough cap space to pay Wallace the money he's asking for. The question is, why wouldn't the Bengals steal Wallace from the Steelers?
MARCH 9 UPDATE: The Bengals were 9-0 against non-playoff teams and 0-7 versus postseason opponents last year. That tells you that they were overrated. The good news is that Andy Dalton, A.J. Green and Jermaine Gresham will each be more experienced in 2012. Perhaps they'll achieve a quality victory.
- Tennessee Titans (9-7) - Previously: 18.
MAY 4 UPDATE: I don't agree with the Titans passing on David DeCastro at No. 20, but Mike Munchak said it earlier in the draft process - he would not take a lineman in the first round. Penn Staters, like myself and Munchak, do not lie.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: It's a shame that the Titans can't acquire atomic bombs with the 20th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Making Peyton Manning pay with his "contract for life" would be the sweetest revenge possible for Bud Adams. Oh well.
I'm actually glad the Titans didn't sign Manning because I want to see Jake Locker play. He looked great in relief of Matt Hasselbeck last year. I'm eager to see what sort of quarterback he can evolve into.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: Jake Locker better have the starting job next season. Matt Hasselbeck isn't nearly as good, and I don't think I can handle another year of Chris Berman exclaining, "THE BEST FREE AGENT SIGNING OF LAST SPRING - AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS - IS MATT HASSELBECK. AMIRITE GUYS!?" And then the other analysts have to nod and agree, or else they'll get fired. Ugh.
Speaking of the Titans, I forgot about a segment I used to run called Stupid Vince and Senile Bud. Here's the most recent episode:
Vince Young: Derrr, hey old guy owner ha, your name Bud is the same name as a beer I have.
Bud Adams: Weh? Who are you? You seem like you could be a good quarterback. Why don't you come play for my team?
Vince Young: Derrr, but mister old guy ha, you tolded me I cannot play for your team no more.
Bud Adams: Weh? Team? I don't have a team.
Vince Young: Derrr, it's the one with the big letter T on a circle with blue fire comin on the back even though fire only have orange and red colors ha.
Bud Adams: Weh? What T? You look like you can play quarterback son. Why don't you come play for my team?
- Dallas Cowboys (8-8) - Previously: 21.
MAY 4 UPDATE: I really liked trading up for Morris Claiborne. I liked it even more when I heard Dallas was planning on taking Bobby Wagner with the second-round pick it dealt to the Rams. Sorry, Jerry, but teams don't need 5,000 inside linebackers on the roster.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: I love how Jerry Jones believes that his guard problems are solved by signing Nate Livings and Mackenzy Bernadeau. That's like some high school dweeb solving his no-prom date issue by asking out the 300-pound chick with the mustache.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: Great in November, crappy in December, coaches do something stupid, Tony Romo struggles in biggest game, Cowboy fans deny Romo struggles in biggest game, blah blah blah...
- New Orleans Saints (13-3) - Previously: 17.
MAY 4 UPDATE: My thoughts on Jonathan Vilma's suspension and the rest of the player penalties in Bountygate.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: Maybe I'm stupid, but I don't understand this whole Joe Vitt thing. Why are the Saints planning on him being the head coach during Sean Payton's absence? Isn't he suspended for six games? Doesn't that mean they'll have to find an interim coach for the interim coach? Why not just declare one guy to be the interim head coach for the whole year?
The Saints are a mess. They made some nice moves in free agency, but the suspensions to the coaching staff and players are really going to hurt.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: I would have written this before Bountygate:
Can we stop it with this "The Saints have a chance to be the first Super Bowl host in NFL history" crap? It's not happening. Every year, the team hosting the Super Bowl has a chance to be the home team for the NFL's final game, and every year, that team disappoints for one reason or another. Drew Brees will suffer an injury or get kidnapped by aliens. Book it.
Well, we now know what that reason is. Considering Brees' contract situation and the fact that multiple suspensions will be handed down, I don't think the Saints will be in the playoffs next year.
- Washington Redskins (5-11) - Previously: 16.
MAY 4 UPDATE: Call me crazy, but I don't think the Redskins did enough to build around Kirk Cousins in the 2012 NFL Draft.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: The Redskins move way up because of Robert Griffin. If they had a competent quarterback last year, they would have contended for a playoff spot. They'll do just that in 2012.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: If the Redskins walk away from this offseason without Peyton Manning or Robert Griffin, it'll be deemed a failure.
E-mailer Yaser A. lamented giving up too much for Griffin: "It sucks because if we don't get anyone in free agency, we may have to give up the farm for RG3. It'll suck to watch the draft in 2013 if we don't have first- or second-round picks."
An easy reply: "It'll be worth it though - and who cares if you don't have a pick if you're selecting in the late teens or 20s because you finally have a franchise quarterback?"
- San Francisco 49ers (13-3) - Previously: 13.
MAY 4 UPDATE: Bold (and perhaps stupid) prediction - the 49ers will not win the NFC West this year. A preview to my 2012 NFL Season Previews, coming sometime in June.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: I'm moving the 49ers down because they signed Randy Moss and Perrish Cox. I think you can live with one scumbag in the locker room, but two? Is Moss going to lazily stand around and do nothing while Cox takes advantage of hot chicks in the stands? No? Oh, that's right, because there are no chicks in San Francisco. At least that's what I read on the Internet.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: Stupid Kyle Williams. The 49ers will be scary if they add legitimate offensive firepower, but they better be careful because free-agent receivers have a high bust rate.
Oh, and for the Niner fans who want to jettison Alex Smith, perhaps you should consider this GameCenter quote from the great Migelini:
"i no i no breez is good but who all theinks is bettir breez or smith for 49s. what all you theink."
See? It's a close call between Smith and Drew Breez.
- Carolina Panthers (6-10) - Previously: 14.
MAY 4 UPDATE: My sources told me that the Panthers were zeroing in on either Quinton Coples or Luke Kuechly with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft (they told me to stay away from Fletcher Cox). I'd say they made the right decision. Kuechly is going to be a stud. I can't believe Pro Football Talk thought he'd fall all the way to the Giants at No. 32. I've said my fair share of dumb things over the years, but that was just ridiculous.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: I thought about downgrading the Panthers because of that annoying Cam Newon Under Armour commercial. Just look at all the fanboys in the comments section:
you go cam!!!!!!!!!
Forget RG3 and Luck. It's all about CAM!
The Future of the NFL. KILLA CAM!!!
When do these cleats come out ???!
Get a life, losers.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: I have high hopes for the Panthers next year. Their defense can't be any worse, while Cam Newton should be able to develop as a passer. There's always a chance for a sophomore slump, but he was so great last season that it's difficult to imagine that.
Speaking of Newton, I found it preposterous that the NCAA couldn't find any wrongdoing during his stay at Auburn. Umm... how about checking his bank statements for a $180,000 deposit? I love how the NCAA all of a sudden can't find anything when it doesn't want to. They're such hypocrites.
- Atlanta Falcons (10-6) - Previously: 10.
MAY 4 UPDATE: I wonder whom the Falcons would have chosen at No. 22 if they kept their pick. Riley Reiff? David DeCastro? Coby Fleener? I like Julio Jones a lot, but I wouldn't have made that trade last year. Atlanta gave up way too much.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: I was worried the Falcons would lose some free agents this offseason, but the only major departure they've seen is Curtis Lofton. They replaced him with Lofa Tatupu, more commonly known on GameCenter as Taptua, beest defenceman.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: Perhaps the ugly, 2-point performance at the Giants was predictable. Someone on GameCenter called it:
"all im saying is falcons will fall on their faces as usaul.are dont you remember last year?"
To be fair though, the Falcons have lost to the previous two Super Bowl champions in the postseason. They just need to play a team that isn't going to make an incredible run.
- Buffalo Bills (6-10) - Previously: 15.
MAY 4 UPDATE: I liked Buffalo's draft, but I think Buddy Nix should have obtained a young quarterback in the middle rounds (Russell Wilson?) so he can use him when Ryan Fitzpatrick suffers his annual injury/late-season meltdown. Hopefully the Bills can win enough early on to sneak into the playoffs.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: I love how Mario Williams had to be convinced that Buffalo is an "OK place to live" prior to signing with the Bills. I wonder what they said to him? "Hey Mario, our Applebee's is awesome, and our Dave & Buster's is brand new, and the women... well, let's just say that it's a good thing you have a fiancee because the women... well..."
MARCH 9 UPDATE: If the Bills couldn't make the playoffs last year with their easy schedule and roster continuity helping them in a lockout season, they're never going to make it. They're cursed. Just give up, Buffalo fans.
I guess the good news, if you want to call it that, is Ryan Fitzpatrick's late-season regression was the product of rib injuries, apparently. That's fine, but more players are just going to get hurt next year. Like I said, the Bills are cursed.
- Baltimore Ravens (12-4) - Previously: 9.
MAY 4 UPDATE: No surprise that the Ravens eschewed taking a receiver in the first round. The best quarterback in the NFL can succeed with lesser talents around him.
By the way, I'm dropping the Ravens because of Terrell Suggs' torn Achilles. That was very unfortunate.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: I'm moving the Ravens down because they lost some key personnel in free agency like Ben Grubbs, Jarrett Johnson and Cory Redding. You'd think this would be augmented by the fact that Baltimore has the best quarterback in the NFL playing for them, but it surprisingly is not.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: Who's Joe Flacco to demand to get paid like a top-five NFL quarterback? If he can do that, then perhaps I should demand that FOX pay me as a top-five sports writer when my contract's up. That's right - I want some Bill Simmons/Peter King/Rick Reilly money, pronto!
At any rate, I have some concern here. The key Baltimore defenders will be a year older, and you never know what you're going to get with Flacco.
- Kansas City Chiefs (7-9) - Previously: 7.
MAY 4 UPDATE: I go on to praise the Chiefs, and they return the favor by drafting Dontari Poe over David DeCastro? Ugh! Last time I'll ever do that, Pioli. Have fun with your 350-pound player who couldn't get any sacks against Conference USA offensive linemen.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: The Chiefs have the best roster in the NFL if you exclude the quarterback position. They're stacked everywhere, excluding interior offensive line and nose tackle. Luckily, they can go David DeCastro-Alameda Ta'amu or Dontari Poe-Kevin Zeitler.
By the way, I have to say that I'm impressed with Kansas City's tactics of luring in right tackle Eric Winston. From Winston's own Twitter account just hours prior to signing with the Chiefs: "Just ate lunch at Jack's Stack. Whoa. That was impressive."
Feeding awesome barbeque to an offensive lineman? That's almost unfair. In fact, I think the NCAA has a rule against this.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: I'm high on the Chiefs. Their defense was amazing down the stretch, and it didn't even have Eric Berry in the secondary. Jamaal Charles will also be back. The best news, meanwhile, is that Todd Haley is no longer the head coach. He was too much of an ego-maniac who clashed with too many players. Plus, he did creepy things like this:
- Philadelphia Eagles (8-8) - Previously: 8.
MAY 4 UPDATE: My dad is so pissed that the Eagles didn't trade up for Ryan Tannehill. He's even angrier about Nick Foles:
Dad: Who is this Nick Folds idiot? I wanted Ryan Tannehilly! He's the next Peyton Manning!
Me: You've never even watched either Tannehill or Foles play.
Dad: I don't care! Anyone is better than that idiot they have now. He raped dogs!
APRIL 17 UPDATE: My dad is depressed that the Eagles didn't sign Peyton Manning, but he now wants Ryan Tannehill even though he has never heard of him prior to this week. I quote:
"Can the Eagles get this Brian Tannehilly guy? He reminds me of Peyton Manning."
Caleb Hanie would remind my dad of Peyton Manning. That's how much he wants to get rid of QB Dog Killer.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: My dad wants the Eagles to sign Peyton Manning...
Dad: The Eagles will sign Peyton Manning. I heard it on the news.
Me: What? They're not signing Manning. What are they going to do with QB Dog Killer?
Dad: Trade him. Cut him. I don't care. He's horrible!
Me: They can't get rid of him because he's guaranteed like $14 million this year. If they cut him, they'll take such a big cap penalty that they won't be able to sign Manning.
Dad: I don't care! I want the Eagles to sign Manning!
Me: But it's not possible...
Dad: I. Don't. Care!!!!!!
My dad's going to be sad when Manning signs elsewhere, but as the President of the Tim Tebow fan club, he'll still be able to cheer for the Broncos.
- Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) - Previously: 12.
MAY 4 UPDATE: There's a reason why the same handful of teams make the playoffs every year. The teams drafting near the top pick crappy players or prospects with high bust rates like Bruce Irvin and Michael Brockers, which allows great talents like David DeCastro to fall to the bottom of the first round. There shouldn't even be a draft order because the results are always the same.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: Successful teams usually build through the draft; not free agency. The Steelers have signed one free agent this offseason. That would be Leonard Pope, and only because he and Todd Haley are secret man-lovers. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: Something's seriously wrong in Pittsburgh. Owner Art Rooney II is saying that Mike Tomlin wanted Todd Haley. Tomlin is saying that Haley was Rooney's idea. Big Ben's pissed off. Haley, meanwhile, will spend most of his times checking for bugs and microphones in his office. Add in the fact that some key players were released, and the Steelers could very easily slide down the standings in 2012.
- Chicago Bears (8-8) - Previously: 6.
MAY 4 UPDATE: I can only imagine Mike Martz's expression when the Bears drafted tight end Evan Rodriguez. He must have been sitting in his den, watching the draft on TV, taking occasional glances at the Brandon Manumaleuna Fathead poster on his wall when he saw the pick. He then probably shouted:
APRIL 17 UPDATE: Just Mike Martz's luck. The Bears finally land a legitimate No. 1 receiver in Brandon Marshall just months after Martz "resigned." I can only imagine the conversation...
Mike Martz: Hey Lovie, I heard you guys got this like super-awesome receiver. I want to unresign now.
Lovie Smith: Fine. Then you're fired.
Mike Martz: But Lovie, can you imagine all the super-awesome things I can do with a super-awesome receiver?
Lovie Smith: Yeah. I can imagine Jay Cutler in a wheelchair by Thanksgiving because of his 21-step drops.
Mike Martz: No no no no no! Mike, I swear. Only 17-step drops. Max! I swears!
MARCH 9 UPDATE: Hopefully the entire team doesn't get injured after Thanksgiving again. By the way, I love how Mike Martz resigned because of "personal differences."
Lovie Smith: Mike, for the love of God, stop having the quarterback take 17-step drops in the pocket. Our offensive line isn't good enough.
Mike Martz: No 17-step drops? You're kidding me, right? The key to success is dropping back 20 yards and then throwing it as deep as possible!
Lovie Smith: No. I want short, quick stuff.
Mike Martz: You monster! That's it - I quit! I can't work under these conditions!
- Detroit Lions (10-6) - Previously: 4.
MAY 4 UPDATE: Ugh. I was ready to pick the Lions to win the Super Bowl, but Calvin Johnson had to go ahead and win the Madden 2013 cover. Guess I'll have to drop Megatron in my 2012 Fantasy Football Rankings.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: I thought the Lions would lose either Cliff Avril or Stephen Tulloch, but they somehow managed to keep both. In fact, the best player who left the team in free agency was Eric Wright, a crappy corner who signed a $37.5 million contract with the Buccaneers.
I can't imagine how confused the Lions must have been when news broke about that deal. Imagine running a photo shoot with 20 hot Victoria's Secret models and one 400-pound Rosie O'Donnell look-alike, and seeing some dude walk in and ask the fat chick out to a fancy restaurant. That would be less befuddling than the Wright signing.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: Now that the Lions have some postseason experience, I think they can make a deep run next January. It'll be interesting though to see what happens with their free agents. Can they retain Stephen Tulloch? It's a shame that this team might have to break apart after finally snapping its playoff drought.
- Houston Texans (10-6) - Previously: 5.
MAY 4 UPDATE: It would have been interesting to see what the Texans would have done if Kendall Wright were on the board at No. 26. I was told the Texans would not draft a receiver in the first round because that player would have been fourth on the depth chart. I completely disagreed with that. Who would have been ahead of Wright besides Andre Johnson? Kevin Walter? Jacoby Jones, who was just cut? Lestar Jean?
APRIL 17 UPDATE: I'm moving the Texans down a bit because they lost a few key players like DeMeco Ryans, Eric Winston and Mike Brisiel. The good news is that they're still the best team in their division by far, and they're a Super Bowl contender despite those departures.
I had them winning the Super Bowl in my recent 2013 NFL Mock Draft prompting some people to point out that Matt Schaub would just choke in the playoffs again. That could happen, but remember that we all once considered both Peyton and Eli Manning to be chokers before they won it all. Schaub is talented enough to win a Lombardi trophy.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: The Texans would have been the overwhelming favorites to win the Super Bowl if they had Matt Schaub for the playoffs last year. Even without him, they almost beat the team that almost beat the team that almost beat the team that won it all. I just got a headache reading that sentence.
- New England Patriots (13-3) - Previously: 3.
MAY 4 UPDATE: Shame on the Patriots for going for it all now with Tom Brady. They should look at what the Broncos are doing - building for the future with Peyton Manning. All of those draft picks the Broncos stockpiled will come in handy when Manning is entering his prime at the age of 45.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: As if New England's offense wasn't dynamic enough, Bill Belichick added Donte' Stallworth and Anthony Gonzalez to the receiving corps. Those guys are going to really open things up underneath for the two tight ends. Oh, and then there was the whole Brandon Lloyd signing. He's OK.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: I had some mean things to say about Tom Brady in my 2011 Playoff NFL Power Rankings, so I won't pile on. Same goes for Wes Welker because I listed him in my Top 10 Most Overrated NFL Players page.
Having said that, the Patriots will be in the mix like they always are. But they really need to do something about that atrocious defense.
- Green Bay Packers (15-1) - Previously: 2.
MAY 4 UPDATE: Second-round pick Jerel Worthy admitted that he took plays off in college. This really amazes me. Do you know how many American males would kill to play football at the highest collegiate level and then the NFL? It's ridiculous that bums like Worthy take this for granted. Ted Thompson better make sure that Worthy takes his professional career seriously.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: Is anyone else upset that State Farm scraped those awesome Aaron Rodgers Discount Double Check commercials in favor of the Jessica State Farm campaign? Jessica's good-looking, but she sounds so robotic when she talks. In fact, hearing her is bad enough to turn me off from going with State Farm - unless, of course, State Farm announces that Jessica will give out a free hand job with every new policy. That would be better than any commercial.
MARCH 9 UPDATE: If the Packers fix their defense - Nick Collins coming would really help - then they'll be much better next year, which is pretty scary. Still, I have to rank the Giants ahead of Green Bay because of the beatdown they were able to put on the Packers at Lambeau. Besides, you can't be No. 1 if you recently lost to Kyle Orton.
- New York Giants (9-7) - Previously: 1.
MAY 4 UPDATE: Eli Manning will be on Saturday Night Live tomorrow. If I still watched that, I'd care. But here's a preview:
Alex Trebek: Welcome to Celebrity Jeopardy. As usual, our contestants are in negative digits.
Sean Connery: I'll show you a digit, Trebek!
Alex Trebek: That's very flattering. Burt Reynolds, you have the highest low score. It's your turn to choose a category.
Burt Reynolds: Yeah. I'll take TV Time Sluts for $80,000.
Alex Trebek: That's TV Time Slots.
Sean Connery: I know some TV Time Sluts, Trebek. There was this one actress in the 60s... well... I don't need to tell you because you like men. OHHH HOHOHOHOHO!
Alex Trebek: ...TV Time Slots. For $400. This long-lasting animated TV series debuted in the same time slot as the Cosby Show. Yes, Burt?
Burt Reynolds: Yeah. Audrey Hepburn. Haha.
Alex Trebek: TV Time SLOTS. SLOTS! Yes, Eli?
Eli Manning: Hi, I'm Eli Manning, my dad wouldn't let me watch the show when I was growing up I was like 9 years old when it came on he said I needed to work on football so when he said that I went outside and threw the ball once then I threw it again then I threw it again then Peyton said I sucked and that made me want to win more Super Bowl rings than him then he won one Super Bowl and I didn't play well and people hated me but I never gave up and then I won the first Super Bowl and people said I was lucky because of David Tyree and then I got mad and I tried harder and people asked me if I'm elite and I said I'm elite and then I...
Alex Trebek: I'm sorry, Eli, but you've run out of time. Again.
Sean Connery: Trebek, your mother said she ran out of time when we were having sex last night! OHHH HOHOHOHOHO!
Alex Trebek: ...And it's time for Final Jeopardy.
I'm suddenly in the mood to watch Saturday Night Live.
APRIL 17 UPDATE: The Giants made a great addition with... with... umm... uhh... Keith... umm... sorry, I'm distracted because I'm thinking about Jessica's hand jobs. Does anyone have the number for State Farm?
MARCH 9 UPDATE: When Peyton Manning hoisted the Lombardi Trophy after a victory over the Bears, who in their right mind would have thought that Eli Manning would have more Super Bowl rings than Peyton in five years?
That's why the NFL is so great. Anything can happen. Well, except for the Bills and Browns making the playoffs.

Customer Reviews for Child Safe Bathroom Red / Pink Semi-Opaque Roman Window Shades
"Great shade!!"
By Jill from Valhalla, NY
I purchased the roman shade for my bathroom window which is small but I wanted something nice. I added on the open down for privacy in the bathroom. It was a perfect choice!!!
View this product"Gorgeous!!!"
By customer from Mesa, AZ
I could not be more pleased. I got the basil for a big kitchen window and it is just striking. It is very well made and the plume on the print slightly reflects light. I ordered top/down-bottom/up but originally received the blind without this feature. I called customer service and they immediately sent a new blind. Excellent product and customer service.

Halos eye second straight win over Blue Jays
Hanson matches up with Toronto's Redmond at Angel Stadium
After dropping three straight games via walk-off homers and six straight overall, the Angels broke their skid against Josh Johnson and the Blue Jays in Thursday night's series-opening victory.
They'll look to make it two in a row against Toronto in the midst of a tough schedule that has seen them lose nine of their last 12.
"In this game, in this schedule there's a tough game every night," Angels manager Mike Scioscia. "You have to be able to turn the page. We did a lot of good things in the Texas series and obviously had three walk-off losses. You've got to be able to absorb it and turn the page and move on.
"You have to be able to turn the page and be able to look at each game with that perspective of let's build momentum pitch to pitch, get a lead and hopefully hold it and win a game. We've dug a big hole for ourselves, nobody has given up on this season, we know what we are up against, but this team can go on a run."
Tommy Hanson will take the mound for Los Angeles, making his third start since a forearm strain that cost him a month of his season.
In his last outing Hanson gave up five runs in 4 2/3 innings against the Athletics.
"The problem was the walks," Hanson said. "You get a five-run lead after two and start walking guys, it's not how you draw it up."
He'll be opposed by Todd Redmond, who's coming off his career-best outing against the Astros. Redmond struck out 10 batters over six innings, but walked away with a no-decision.
Redmond will be making his fifth start since being moved up from Triple-A Buffalo, and only the sixth of his big league career.
"I just come up here and try to keep the guys in the game so we can have a chance to win," Redmond said.
Angels: Pujols not giving up on 2013
Albert Pujols refuses to give up on the 2013 season despite a partial tear of the left plantar fascia.
"I was already playing 45 percent this year," Pujols said. "Even if I feel 55 percent that I can come back and play, I'm going to be out there and playing because I love this game and I grew up playing this game and I'm going to do the best I can to help this organization win. Whether that's two games out, 20 games out -- if I feel good, ready to play, I'm going to be out there playing the field."
If there's good news it's that Pujols won't require surgery on the foot as the tear naturally accomplished what a surgical procedure would have.
The Angels slugger is currently sporting a walking boot, and is expected to spend around three weeks in it before deciding on the next course of action.
• Josh Hamilton entered Thursday's contest going 5-for-11 in the three-game set against Texas, drawing three walks, hitting a homer -- his 16th of the year -- and driving in seven runs, but went hitless in three at-bats vs. Toronto.
"It's a starting point," Hamilton said. "When you take a game through the next day, and how you feel in the game the day before to the next game and start putting those at-bats together, it's a good feeling."
Blue Jays: Santos rejoins bullpen
Sergio Santos rejoined the Blue Jays bullpen prior to Thursday's series opener against the Angels.
The right-handed reliever was placed on the 15-day disabled list on April 14, which was extended when some bothersome bone spurs were discovered in his throwing arm and he opted for surgery.
In early July Santos began a rehab assignment in the Minor Leagues, and despite some ugly outings the 30-year-old was happy with his stint that ended in Triple-A Buffalo.
"I was making progress with every inning I was throwing, as far as with my pitches," Santos said of his rehab. "It's just a matter of getting back into the flow of games and I'm hoping with each inning I throw, each game I'm in, I can speed that process up a little bit."
Worth noting
• The Blue Jays are 12-6 against the American League West this season, while the Angels are 8-9 against the East.
• With seven runs against Josh Johnson in Thursday's 8-2 victory, the Angels broke a streak of 13 scoreless innings by the Blue Jays' starters.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is a nonsurgical treatment for kidney stones. It uses high-energy shock waves to break the stones into tiny pieces. The pieces can then be passed with urine.
Lithotripsy is used to remove kidney stones that:
Most people who have lithotripsy for kidney stones are free of stones within three months of treatment. Patients with stones in the kidney and upper ureter have the most success with treatment. There may be fragments that are too large to pass after the procedure. They can be treated with lithotripsy again.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor may do the following:
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure, like:
Heavy sedation or general anesthesia is usually used. Heavy sedation will keep you calm. With general anesthesia, you will be asleep. It will help you remain still and avoid discomfort.
Shock waves can be passed to the stones in two ways:
Your doctor will use x-rays or ultrasound to locate the stone. Your body will be positioned to target the stone. Shock waves will be passed through the stones until they are crushed. They will be crushed into pieces as small as grains of sand.
45-60 minutes
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. There may be some pain and discomfort afterward from the passage of broken stones. There may also be some bruising on the area treated. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medication.
You will be able to move almost immediately after the procedure. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions , which may include:
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

"Natural" and "Supernatural" are Modern Categories, Not Biblical Ones
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
When we sit down to read sacred Scripture, we need to develop a rapport with the Bible's various authors and their worldviews. Otherwise, we will unintentionally demand they communicate in the same manner we do.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
This BioLogos videocast addresses the idea of randomness as a part of natural selection, and whether it challenges the possibility of God using the evolutionary process as a means of creation.
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
It should not be surprising that John Cage asked the stuff he used to make paintings to take part in the process—to contribute its own identity to the intentional, purposeful, and determined work of creating "based on chance."
Perusing the writings of atheistic scientists and philosophers like Daniel Dennett, one could easily get the impression that arriving at a simpler explanation for something equates to a revelation that things are "lower, cruder, and more trivial."
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.

In Wisconsin, the polls all indicated Scott Walker was getting recalled by a 7 point margin and we all know he is still the sitting governor in that state. If anyone thinks this is an Obama win because he is up a point or two in a couple states is foolish beyond belief.
That was a great day.
The polls 4 months out said Gov Walker was out. Once his opponent was revealed he went up by 5-8 pts and never lost a step. Sorry man, polls are fairly accurate.
"In Wisconsin, the polls all indicated Scott Walker was getting recalled by a 7 point margin..."
Took me 10 seconds to fact check that. Real Clear Politics shows 16 polls of that recall race, and Walker was behind in only 2 of them, and those 2 were early on. The RCP average over the last 3 weeks was Walker up by 6.7%, and he won by 6.8% So, what you said. Not true. But the actual polls, not your fictional remembered ones, were accurate.
There you go again. How can you expect folks like Pilot25 to participate if you keep injecting facts and reality into the discussion. Tsk, tsk, sir.
Those polls come from our reality. There is another, separate reality in which everyone is riding tame dinosaurs and they have flying cars. Occasionally it intersects with ours via internet commentary.

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I'm having some problems trying to find the right method of baby-wearing. My baby is 3.5 weeks old and I've given up on this stinkin' wrap I have. I watched the video and did exactly what I was supposed to do but the little guy does NOT like it. I tried on a friend's ring sling and he didn't like that either. I have a Snugli that he seems to like but it's torture on my back and I'm limited because I can't bend over without him slipping out of it. I'm frazzled trying to accomplish my housework and take care of my family either one-handed or waiting until he's asleep. Even when he's sleeping, though, I have aweful guilt over leaving him there all by himself. I ache to hold him all the time. The only time I feel ok doing what I need to do is when daddy is home to hold him. This is not always practical and I'm going nuts trying to juggle everything around his erratic sleeping episodes. If anyone has experience with this and can give some insight as to what might work best, please help. I'm desperate.

Is this your first time babywearing? I had a big learning curve with the ring sling. It took me several weeks before I started to get the hang of wearing it.
I would suggest reintroducing the wrap and/or sling several times over a few weeks/months. It may just take some time for him to get big enough to be comfortable.
Have you tried different positions? Some babies like being upright more than laying down, so that might be the cause of his discomfort. Here are a bunch of videos with different positions.
You may want to try the ergo with the infant insert. Maybe try to borrow one from a friend or test one in a store? But they do hold their resale value if it doesn't work out for your little dude.
I will add that some babies just plain don't like to be worn.
I LOVE the mei tai for the newborn period (well all the stages really!). You can put them in froggie style till they are old enough to sit in it. I have heavy babes and a bad back and it still works for me and I have a 30 pound 1 year old. With a mei tia the sweet babe can ride in front facing you as a youngster (now till 6 mths or so), side or hip carry till you flip 'em around to the backside and they love riding along with mom or dad on back. I have a 3 year old that still likes to be carrried in his baby carrier.
I also got a Beco baby carrier (like mei tai but with buckles instead of tying the babe on) and that works pretty good too. I rotate back and forth between those 2 and my wrap. The wrap can have a pretty big learning curve, but is the MOST supportive I have found and I can wear it for hours when we go for hikes.
I also had difficulties with the ring sling when my oldest daughter was an infant. After trying several types, I now own 7, I have found the Moby Wrap to be the best for the youngest ones. Wraps spread the weight of the baby across the entire back while holding the baby securely against your chest. They can be a little tricky to get on the first time, but get progressively easier. Do you have any baby wearing friends nearby to try out different styles?
"Even when he's sleeping, though, I have aweful guilt over leaving him there all by himself. I ache to hold him all the time. The only time I feel ok doing what I need to do is when daddy is home to hold him. This is not always practical and I'm going nuts trying to juggle everything around his erratic sleeping episodes."
Oh, I remember aching arms to hold that babe, even for just a few minutes to shower, you feel incomplete without them! But your right, you need to find something that works. It was tough until someone actually walked me through ste-by-step and showed my how to do it. After that I always questioned how I made it through my day without it. I am one of those moms that whatever baby carrier I have it needs to match my outfit because I never take it off! Do you have a local babywearing group? How about your local API group or your local LLL group? You can always find a babywearing mama or two at those meetings.
Good luck!
Have you visted the site: http://www.mamatoto.org/? It has videos, step-by-step instructions and is sorted by age, by carrier, by position. This was really helpful with my wrap for my 3rd child.
Hang in there. I bought a wrap when my boy was ~1month old... the learning curve was pretty steep... and you need the coorperation of the baby too... my boy was more patient with me when he was older... anyways... i admit that it is not easy to learn... but once you get a hang of it... it's worth your time invested.
My suggestion... learn to tie one position (carry) at a time... keep doing the same carry over and over again until u master it before u learn the next one. My son is ~5months old now, and only now I'm starting to learn how to carry him on the back... he's been riding me in the front on frog style all these time. So you need to be patient, your part is easy... will power will do... but the baby... u need to "negotiate" that on a daily basis.
Good luck! Trust me... it's all worth your effort!
Ergo Baby Carrier
Hi. I have an Ergo and it has only been in the last month that Zim has started to really enjoy, dare I say even tolerate it. I had the infant insert and could get it to work occasionally but found, like almost everything, every day was different. Some days he hated it. He loves his space and does not like to be contained. He is a little bed hog and will sleep spread eagle once deep enough. Our little unfolding flower!
Most of my friends used a HugABub until 6 months and then moved to the Ergo and all their babies seemed to take to slings like a fish to water. I found the infant insert in the Ergo to be difficult; however, I was a very nervous momma (hopefully that is taming a bit) and worried about his hips, his spine and his neck. I found that will other mommas around I could manage to get him in and we enjoyed the experience, but alone, I worried myself out of using it. Now that I am more confident and have slowly reintroduced him to it. We love it. It feels comfortable and saves my back. I am small and Zim is a big baby and with the Ergo I can get around easily, have my hands free and little love next to my heart. I also like that I can have him on the front, back or side.
PS. I found mamatoto to be an excellent site, as well. In the beginning it was my confidence that was the biggest obstacle for babywearing.
I started wearing DS when he started to get to heavy to hold, and I remember him not liking it at first, also it felt to tight, then to loose, etc..I tried many times before it felt comfy, and DS was happy. Don't give up.
I didn't like the ring slings in the beginning, it kept on slipping off, but i'll try again now that DS is bigger.
Oh, yeah, and don't worry about the things not getting done, you should see my house! but DS is happy and so am I!
A couple of suggestions:
Some babies like one position over another (some want to face out from very early on, another may only like to be horizontal) so try different positions to see if one will work better than another. I usually ask people how baby likes to be held because that's usually the position that they'll tolerate in the sling. Also, babes will often 'feel' your anxiety, so you may want to practice with a doll/stuffed animal/cat to get used to putting babe in it so that you don't "scare" him out of it! Also, practice in front of a mirror and over a soft surface if you can, so that you can see and not have to worry so much. Once you get baby secure, try the bouncy walk with the "sh,sh,sh,sh"--most babies will go to sleep!
One other important suggestion would be to have your little one checked by a chiropractor that sees kids. Birth can be traumatic on their necks/backs/pelvis' so sometimes the pressure from positioning them in a sling will aggravate their discomfort. How else can they tell you but by crying? My hubby and sister are chiros. and my kids had gentle adjustments right after birth. It can also prevent issues of colic, breastfeeding troubles, sleeping issues, etc.
I see lots of great suggestions particularly the fact that different babies like different carriers/carrying positions. The wraps have a steep learning curve but so many mommy's love them for there comfort and versitility. If you can find a LLL, API or babywearing group in your area you are bound to find local help.
For what didn't work, I tried an adjustable pouch with lots of pain for me, a baby bjorn with lots of pain for me, a Maya Wrap ring sling I just couldn't figure out how to wear comfortably (although my hubby liked it for awhile). For what did work: I loved my mei tais, particlularly my Kozy, and I love my Ergo (when I first started using it at 4 mo I would just fold my sons legs in and he still uses it frequently at 2 yo).
Things I'd try if there is a next time: I hear lots of great things about the new butterfly beco that is great for newborn up. Reported to be very comfy for mom and baby. I would also get a woven wrap. The mom's that have mastered them just love them. I've seen mom's nurse hands free chatting with me using a Moby (I know it is stretcher than woven but it seems to make sense to just purchase 1 wrap since Moby doesn't do too good as they get heavier).
i'd also like to suggest trying to get some help to come in around the house, like family or friends to bring a meal or two. do you have family close by? your baby is still a newborn and this can be an overwhelming time, but also a nurturing time, not only by you, but FOR you.
I also HIGHLY recommend trying a mei tai. There is a slight learning curve, but it's not too difficult to get the hang of it. The mei tai is much better than, say, the Snugli carriers because of sheer comfort (the baby feels weightless and no strain on your back) and versatility (you can do back, side, and front carries). Also, the Snugli carriers (and other front carriers on the market) are not very good for babies because they dangle the baby by their crotch. The mei tai supports the babies spine. But, not all mei tais are created equal. I am good friends with the creator of the Kozy Carrier (www.kozycarrier.com). She is a fabulous woman and her carrier is probably the most popular mei tai out there. Her website gives a lot of great information about mei tais and how to use them. Another great carrier is the Babyhawk Carrier (www.babyhawk.com). These women have an endless list of colors and patterns that you can choose from. I have one of these...it's pink w/brown & pink stripes. Very cute. The body is square, which I needed because my daughter wouldn't keep her arms inside of the mei tai (a lot of them are curved at the top). And, of course, if you are intimidated by the long straps (really, they aren't a big deal), then you could opt for a Becco which has buckles (although a bit pricey).
I do have to say, though, that I didn't start using the mei tai until Lily was about 4 or 5 months old (until she could sprawl her legs around my belly comfortably). Although, Kelley Mason (Kozy Carrier creator) puts her newborns in her carriers from day 1...literally. :-) I used the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder for the first few months, which worked great for me. It was very comfortable...and easy to use.
One more thought...if you do decide to try a mei tai...I highly recommend that you buy the "Tummy-2-Tummy" DVD, which will show you exactly how to use a mei tai (Kelley Mason is the demonstrator in the DVD). It's $20.00 online, but it was definitely worth it. It will teach you how to use a mei tai, ring sling, wrap, and pouche. www.tummy2tummy.com
Good luck with your choices! :-)
My fave for the 1st year was my Kangaroo Korner pouch. I hated the ring sling...just never worked for us. We love our Ergo now, but miss using the pouch - so comfy, sooooo easy, and super cute too! And imo, the KK pouch is much better than the better known hotsling.
I've got some videos showing holds for a different type of sling that can do "wrap holds" or "ring sling holds". Some have found them helpful even if they don't have my type of sling.
I, too, have got the Tummy to Tummy DVD, but it doesn't cover everything!
Here's for the wrap type holds: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_lis...335D557A5EC008.
Here's for the ring sling type holds: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_lis...03AC507B84C2E3
Or here for twin sling:http://www.youtube.com/view_play_lis...8D2DEA65F82E30
Thank you ladies for all of your advice. After attending a LLL meeting with a couple of women who knew wraps I discovered I had the wrong type of fabric all along. So I ventured out to find a more stretchy fabric and stumbled upon Joanne Fabric having a 50% off sale. Lucky for me the girl running the check-out wasn't real great at math and, despite our attempt to correct her mistake, she insisted that 50% of $34.98 was $3.09. Ok, who am I to argue? When I cut it to size I had two wraps for the same price as a candy! Ha! I put the baby in it and within seconds he was sleeping peacefully. Oh, I just love having him that close to me and it's sooo comfy. There isn't nearly the strain on my back that I had using the Snugli. We're going to the Earth Day Festival today to test it out. I can't wait. WOO HOO!

Phoronix: AMD Releases FX-Series Bulldozer Desktop CPUs
AMD has finally lifted the lid on their new FX-Series "Bulldozer" desktop CPUs, but how well do they work under Linux?..
Phoronix: AMD Releases FX-Series Bulldozer Desktop CPUs
AMD has finally lifted the lid on their new FX-Series "Bulldozer" desktop CPUs, but how well do they work under Linux?..
Ranting about not receiving samples in your articles probably doesn't help much (but yes they should be supplying you)
Are these APUs?
I'm upset that Michael didn't receive any samples to test. I opened Phoronix today hoping to see how the new chip does under Linux , with all that Windows testing it would have been nice to see.
So I think the "ranting" is perfectly normal.
And to answer your question , no , these chips have no graphics inside whatsoever.
Bulldozer-based APUs are rumored to launch early/mid 2012; the code name is "Trinity".
edit: benchmarks I've seen so far say that single-threaded performance is crap. Phenom II is beating it.
Last edited by Ex-Cyber; 10-12-2011 at 08:13 AM.
I've fired off an email this morning to the two new AMD CPU contacts asking about Linux tests.... Waiting for response :/ Otherwise I'm hoping I can get remote SSH access from a third party this week to an FX system, but that's less than ideal when not having the same other system components here so that I can conduct a direct/fair comparison.
Michael Larabel
I'm planning to get one of those. Can anyone recommend a good AM3+ board (i.e. with fully supported onboard-audio) for Linux? Right now I have an Asus Striker Extreme (plz don't ask me why ), which actually works fine, but I always have some sound issues :/
Taking a look at the numbers I wish they just launched some AM3+ Phenom II x4 and x6 ... manufactured in 32 nm this could actually be better than Bulldozer. It's sad because the Phenom II is very old stuff but that's the way it is.
AMD screwed up big time and they should do their best to fix it. Intel did the same with the P4 way back but they could afford to, I'm not sure AMD can. And when they did fix it they came up with something that's very good , the Core CPUs.
Given how sad the Bulldozer performed under Windows maybe it will do better in Linux.
AMD has no excuse for not providing Phoronix with some samples to test , it's probably the only serious website to do any testing under Linux.
Did you ever try getting in touch with someone at AMD to ask why you're not getting any AMD cpus for review at Phoronix ?

So I put money down on a Mondo for a December build.
From all of your past experiences, are there general notifications that are sent out prior to build time.
I know they have the entire month but since it's almost December, I was wondering if I would hear anything.
Not a huge deal, just curious what to expect since I am new to this process.

In a perfect world your salesman should keep you informed. I ordered mine the first part of Feb last year and it finally showed up mid May. You should be ahead of the curve since they get busy building during the boat shows.

I have asked for a more specific date from the dealer but I believe they just started carrying the Moomba brand so they did not know exactly what to expect.
I don't want to keep asking because I don't want to be a pest. That's why I figured I would ask here to see what the norm is.
Just getting a little antsy as December gets closer but I would probably be more patient if I had a more specific date. Just too excited to see this new boat.

When I had my boat built the dealer said it would start on say Feb 7, I called Skiers Choice the next day Feb 8 the main number and told receptionist I was curious about when boat was starting. She asked my last name and called me back within an hour and told me the stage of boat. I called about 3 weeks later and received another update. They are great people and understand sometimes you want the info from the factory not your boat salesman. It's great hearing from them directly.

Thanks guys. I have been told that it has a December build date but no actual specific date has been shared. I didn't want to keep pestering the dealer if this was normal. I do want to get my financing set up but I know that approvals for some credit unions/banks are only for 30 days and I don't want to run into issues concerning that.
This process just kind of seems backwards to me and I guess that's why I am a little unsettled about the financing and would like to finalize it. Normally for other big purchases, financing would come first but that's not the case when building a boat. I am not complaining at all since I know that is how it works. It just makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

Re: Build notification
Does seem backwards ... The dealership didn't want proof of credit?
Congrats on the purchase!
Personally, id go ahead and start handling financing. Make them aware of the situation.

your paying the dealer a premium to be a pest.
If you ordered the base model you have dropped some decent coin be a pest you are paying for that right.

By Kate on 8/02/2015 10:39:25 PMZoe was fantastic as Queen Elsa...she was so wonderfully professional, kids were enthralled for the entire hour (boys and girls) and every parent at the party asked me "where did you find her...she is fantastic!!". I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
"Tiger Party"
By Philippa on 22/12/2014 9:40:46 AMOliver had a fantastic "tiger party" - thank-you! All the children were entertained from start to finish and the "tiger" did a great job making each one feel included and part of the fun. Sophie was also very good at communicating and all the organising went very smoothly. Would highly recommend this business. Thanks again Philippa

Tinkerbell - Highly recommend

Thank you for making her birthday such a special occasio (...) Read more
Spider-Man Party
By Meschel on 16/05/2014 1:32:09 PMMy little boys party was a huge success and I didn't have to do a thing! From the moment Spider-Man and Tinkerbell arrived they were in character, to the moment they left. He loved it, he was the talk of the crèche and has had wonderful chats with me about how amazing it was that they could stop fighting crime for just enough time to come to his party. Such profession (...) Read more
