Head-to-head 12 man league.

Batting scoring: R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG.

Pitching scoring: W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP.

I already know that I'm weak at C and OF, thankfully I have Nick Swisher as a good OF back up in case Bay or Beltran don't produce like they should as he still has the advantage of being a switch hitter and batting in the new Yankee stadium. Should be set on AVG, SB, HR, and R stats.

Pitching prospects like Storen, Kimbrel, Latos, and Zimmerman rely on their positions at the end of last season and where they are projected at the beginning of this season. Storen and Kimbrel are looking to take over the role of Closer with their respective ball clubs, while Latos and Zimmerman will get more starts this year. If all goes well I'll be set on W, SV, and K.

I figure it will since the R32 is just an upgraded version of the GTI, all on the same Golf platform, but I wanted to know for sure before I bought a kit.

I'm in Iraq right now and the city power in my area is sketchy at best, it goes out often and shuts off the internet we rigged up. Add on top of that that the download speed is really slow (we're talking at max 10 kbps); making downloading files, either professional or personal, very difficult if not downright impossible.

So, I need to know if there's a program out there that will save my file download progress. Can anyone help?

Running Windows Vista Home on two PCs, got a NetGear router to connect both of them to my cable connection through ComCast.

Been able to get both computers connected to the internet but not at the same time, if one is connected the other one can't for some reason.

The whole job of this router is to be able to connect multiple things to the internet through one line and it's not doing it's job.

Any help or tips would be awesome.

12-man, head-to-head league.

I have one empty spot on my roster, was thinking about filling it with Nick Johnson who is currently the best available player in my league. I used to have Josh Johnson as another pitcher but with his pinched ulnar nerve I dropped him, at the very least he'd be out 2 months into the season.

Specifically so if I decided to go into Officer Candidate School instead of Airborne Infantry. I scored a 98/99 on the ASVAB, so I'm qualified for every MOS I could possibly want, I just don't want to go through OCS and end up stuck as a Supply Officer or something.

So, does anyone know if my ASVAB score could possibly determine my MOS if I graduate from Officer school?

So, with Georgia's prior 2 victories to unranked Division I-A opponents being decided by less than a touchdown for both (combined) and UGA being held to only 14 in both games (oddly enough all of their points in the previous 2 games were scored in the 2nd half).

With those previous two games and how weak UGA has appeared to be do you think they will survive matchups against teams like Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, and GA Tech who have performed very well so far? Can UGA turn it around or do you see the Vols "upsetting" UGA in Athens?

I was looking at offering a guy Brian Westbrook (RB - Phi) for Warrick Dunn (RB - Atl).

Do you think this would be beneficial to me? Him?

My thoughts were that Dunn had 1416 Yards rushing and 200 yards receiving with only 3 rushing and 1 receiving touchdown. But with TJ Duckett gone, he'd probably increase the rushing TDs by at least a half dozen and possibly increase his rushing yards.

Westbrook, on the other hand, will get a lot of carries for Philly but he's injury prone and could possibly be a bust.

Thoughts?

We all know that you say "Bless You", "God Bless You", or "Gezundheit" when someone sneezes. But what do you say when someone coughs?

So the United States just agreed to help Iran develop nuclear technology as long as Iran ceases enriching uranium on its own.

Really, it's just an excuse for the United States and UN to monitor Iran's nuclear development.

Personally, I think it may be for the best, Iran gets what they "wanted" (or rather what they claim they wanted), the United States will feel more secure about Iran, and the UN got their diplomatic resolution to the problem.

Gary Sheffield

Bum has been on the DL seems like 80% of the season and he's on the "Can't Cut" list. Just recently got put back on the DL after having a sore wrist (poor baby...boohoo) so now he's just soaking up a spot on my team. I already have a solid OF: Andruw Jones, Alex Rios, Casey Blake so I can do without him (easily).

If you were in my league would you trade for him? Even if it was one of your weakest players?

Preferably non-Online/MMORPG, something console-based that has a decent storyline.

I have played these so don't bother:

Final Fantasy 1-8, 10

Chrono Cross/Trigger

Elder Scrolls 3 and 4

Grandia 2

Suikoden 3

Jade Empire

Star Wars KOTOR 1 and 2

Fable

Shenmue 1 and 2

I haven't really payed all that much attention to games as of late, I don't buy too many but I'm looking for a fix until Final Fantasy 12.

Anyone know of a way to sort columns/cells in MS Excel? Alphabetically? Numerically?

I haven't used an Microsoft Spreadsheet in 7+ years and need to get back into using it for my work.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Why do people think men (in particular single men) who own a cat or multiple cats are gay?

I'm about as straight as an arrow and I have a cat, yet people think I'm gay or "in the closet" just for having one.

I just like cats more so than dogs because they are a lot lower maintenance and I'm not at home till after 5:00 PM so I don't have to worry about them tearing up the house or soiling the carpet because I didn't let them out.

It boggles my mind honestly.

Quite funny in my opinion. :-D

Maybe I'm on drugs or something, or just taking too many "tips" from the guy down the hall but this is my fantasy team. I know I have a lot of pitchers, 3 on the DL, but when they come back (which it's looking like all 3 in about 3-4 weeks) I'll have a really solid pitching staff.

Yes, I know Javy Lopez is injured, but I have no back-up C, might pick up Johnny Estrada (C - ARI) for the time being.

Who I'm giving up: Jim Thome (1B - CWS)

Who I'm asking for: Pedro Martinez (SP - NYM)

Ok, my team's pitching is mediocre at best, it's what's keeping me low in my league. I have all the HRs and RBIs I need and have a good back-up 1B in Craig Wilson (1B/OF - Pit).

He currently has Jeff Kent (1B/2B - LAD) playing at first base who is doing horribly so far, but also has a pretty deep pitching staff (including Greg Maddux who is 5-0 so far).

Would you make this trade if you were offered it and in the same situation?

I haven't. Apparently the "if you walk out don't expect a job to come back to" ultimatum from some of these companies worked.

Chipper Jones/Edgar Renteria are my two starters, I picked up Jack Wilson and Chad Tracy to fill their spots, so I'll probably drop at least Jack Wilson but keep Tracy on the bench in case someone gets injured.

I tend to switch Jay Gibbons, Craig Wilson, and Jim Thome between OF/1B/Util positions depending on if/when/who they are playing.

Any suggestions?
