After reading this forum, I need advice. My used 97? craigcat came without engine or controls and has the older smooth pontoons rated for 15hp and 550# weight. I bought an 8hp 4 stroke Merc with manual tiller, new seats & custom bimini. Its great on no wake quiet rivers and sips gas, but I need more performance where big boats almost run me down. 2 stroke or 4 stroke? Max HP? Would a 4 bladed prop make a difference for such a small engine? Finally, would I be better off getting a newer used craigcat with 25hp, elec start and controls instead of trying to upgrade what I have?
Rainbowcat, I know a guy who has several brand new (2003) leftover craigcats as well as a few pontoons. If you want to buy *parts* or pontoons, I could hook you up with him.
Personally, before I purchased the hard plastic pontoons I would look into inflatable pontoons like found on a zapcat, thundercat etc. The boat could handle more hp (with modification) and would be much softer on the hard wake landings. Good like finding any though!
Rainbowcat, before I created a Craig cat from parts, I would buy a good used one already set up. I think you will save time and money. If you live near Super-Hunky, you might want to check out the new 2003 models. You could sell your 97 model on Craig's List or EBay. They seem to sell pretty fast.
Rainbowcat, in regards to horsepower, the 25 hp is about 5 mph slower than the 30 hp. The 30 hp weighs more than the 25 hp. The 4 stroke is quieter, heavier, and slightly faster than the 2 stroke. Plan on getting about 1 mph per horsepower (Give or take). For me, I use my Craigcat for fishing and diving. Fishing is not an issue, but when I load up the Craigcat with 2 full sized guys, tanks and dive equipment, weight and balance can become a factor.
Is the Craigcat the best diving / fishing platform ever made? No, but it does the job with a low initial cost, low maintenance cost, and low fuel cost.
Yes, as Wentland has said, the speed between a 25 hp 2 stroke and 30 hp 4 stroke is nearly a wash due to the significant weight difference of the engines. There is a 55 lb difference between the two engines which will obviously affect the power to weight ratio.
I still think the 4 stroke is probably the better engine for several reasons which include:
.more envorimentally friendly, .much better fuel economy, .more torque. The problem is the new 4 strokes are VERY expensive, $4,000.00.
Before I purchased a *new* $4,000 30 hp engine, I would buy a gently used 50 hp Tohatsu for less, put it on a zapcat purchased new from Australia or south africa and have 10 times the boat!
As long as you get the semi-current pontoons..(those made over the past 10 years) you will have the same capacities as a new boat as the pontoons are the same. I don't think it's even possible to ruin them as they are rotomolded and foam filled.
Personally, I don't like the solid-heavy rotomolded pontoons which Craigcat uses as there is NO form of a suspension anywhere other than your seat..(hopefully the upgraded version) but even that is not great.
For smooth water applications up to 25 mph, the Craigcat is fine as that is what it is intended for. For choppy/rough water and or higher speeds, an inflatable boat would serve MUCH better and an inflatable cat would be best. Again, a 13 foot Zapcat type boat would hold MUCH (and I mean MUCH) more weight, go more than twice as fast with a 50 hp motor, it would be dramatically smoother due to the floating effect of the tunnel hull design and the fact that the inflatable pontoons would also act as a suspension. In fact, a fuel injected 50 hp 4 stroke really won't use much more gas than a 2 stroke carburated 25 hp. Yes, it will use a little more, but not much.
I actually plan on selling my brand new (2003 leftover) Craigcat as soon as I can locate an inflatable tunnel hull cat...(either Zapcat, thundercat, xtm, dux etc) and set it up exactly like theCriagcat with remote steering and either 2 nice bucket seats or possibly even a small bench. The boat will be almost as fuel efficient while being MUCH smoother, twice as fast and handling will improve exponentially.
Hey 3 Dog, if you buy different pontoons and a different motor; you would probably be better off buying a good used boat with the desired engine in place. I live in South Florida and routinely operate my Craigcat offshore within 5 miles of land. My boat is equipped with a VHF radio, fish finder, and GPS. It is very reasonable using the boat for trolling. I will not go out unless the waves are 2 feet or less. This is not because the boat will not handle bigger waves. You can not go fast in high waves. The waves in the inlets can be much larger than the waves offshore. If the waves are bigger than 2 feet plan on getting wet.
I have looked at the Zapcats and Thundercats on UTube. I have searched the internet for them. They look like a lot of fun. I don't know how good they would be for fishing and diving, but they would get you there fast. I have found that they are next to impossible to buy used in the U.S. unless you ship them from Britain or Australia. Due to this they are also more expensive. Maybe someday a U.S. company will build this type of boat for sale in the U.S. I would even be interested in going to races featuring these boats. Until that time I will be happy with my Craigcat.
Yes Wentland, I have the upgraded Craigcat cushy seats with the Craigcat logo embroidered on them. They are pretty comfy but could certainly be better. NO-way are they worth the $300.00 though.
BTW, you CAN get a Zapcat type boat (and I mean the *real* kind, not an imitator) from several different companies here in the U.S. I will provide a link to several of them below. Note that a complete setup (inflatable tunnel hull cat and 50 hp engine) will cost at least 10k new. When you add remote steering controls and seats, the cost will obviously be more.
As I've said, I am considering purchasing one of these super-capable cats and mounting a steering wheel and seats (bucket or bench). It will be a one of a kind boat that will outperform just about anything in terms of handling, acceleration. It will only consume a couple of gall of fuel per hour....(jet skis burn 4- 8 galls an hour!!) and I can tow it with literally anything. Heck, it would even be possible to deflate the boat and put it in your trunk/pickup bed along with the engine (although I would'nt do this method for it would be a hassle).
Here's a good place to start. Buy a boat, find a good used Tohatsu 50 hp motor, rig it and let the fun begin!

Hey, where did every one go??
G'day from Australia.
I believe this is the Craigcat forum, although reading Super what's his names comments, he seem's to want to change it to an inflateable forum. Listen up old mate, you appear to dislike the Craig cat so much, maybe you should pick up your negative thoughts, & just go away. Leave the forum to people who enjoy the Craigcat.
I've just bought a 04 E2 Craigcat with 2 stroke 25 h.p.
It has been stored for 2 yrs. It is a lot of fun, but it looks a bit dirty. How do do I clean it.
I don't know if you can get it in Australia, but I used a product called "Simple Green" to clean up the trade ins I get.
Roger, just a friendly tip: You may get a better response from members by losing your abrasive attitude towards active members; especially being your very first post and all!
Now, to respond to your comment that I'm trying to turn this into an "inflatable" forum, you would be inncorrect. I love my Craigcat, that's why I bought it...(makes sense right?). There are however several things you can do to it to soften up your landings in choppy water but I'll save that info for another time.
In terms of *cleaning* the boat..(specifically the pontoons), it is NOT very easy as you've discovered. The reason it is difficult to clean the pontoons is that they have a textured finish which really seems to grab hold of any and all dirt as well as lock it on. Sure it would be MUCH easier to clean if the surface was smooth and non-permeable like the fiberglass deck but it would also be extremely slippery if that were the case.
Jim has one of the best suggestions in his reccommendation of using simple green (an all purpose cleaner/degreaser) but your results will be best if also scrubbing with a small stiff plastic brush. If the stains are really bad or are sticky'gooey, a product called "Goof-Off" (basically paint remover) will work well for those tough area's.
The problem with using stripper/degreaser type chemicals is that the now super clean surface seems to stain and attact dirt almost faster now that anything can easily stick to it. For this reason, after thoroughly cleaning your textured pontoons you may want to apply some type of Armor-all type plastic/vinyl protectant which will not only help protect the plastic from oxidizing but also help dirt/grime etc stick to the raw unprotected plastic.
Remember when applying Armor-all type protectants to thoroughly wipe off any excess liquids with a clean dry rag as not to turn the boat into a dust/dirt magnet.
One more thing, welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy your new boat. I too have a 25hp 2-stroke and love it due to the significant weight savings over the 4 stroke. That said they are both great engines and can easily get the job done as intended.
We've just created a "CraigCat Owner's Forum", dedicated to only CraigCat topics. There are 2 ways to access the site: Go to http://westcoastcraigcat.com, once there, go to "Owner's Forum", or go directly to : http://craigcatowners.forumotion.com
This site is sponsored by West Coast CraigCat, Inc. and we are very excited to see the feedback from our family of CraigCat Owner's. Your input will also be very helpful to the prospective CraigCat Owners, who can benefit from your experience.
G'day, folks.
I want to catch more fish, a fish finder seems to be the way to go, but where do I mount the transducer on my craigcat????
Any suggestions?
Hi floridaman. I'm assuming you are talking about the difficulty in making left turns (right turns are great).
What did you do? What is your fix? I'm interested. I've not found anything that won't slow the boat down like a trim fin does.
I bought this cat from a man that had left shoulder surgery and said he could no longer drive the cat because of the stiff steering and his left arm does not work that good. When I took the cat for a ride the stick was so stiff and you had to hold on or you will be turning to the right. I was reading this forum and tried to find the trim tab that was suggested above but it was no longer available so I bought a universal trim tab from EBay. When I read the owners manual it said the trim tab should be pointing to the right and the previous owner had it all the way to the left. I guess he was looking at right from the front of the motor instead of the rear. The cat has a stainless prop and all I had to do was to point the tab to the right and it started tracking in a straight line. The steering was still stiff even out of the water and I called Craigcat and they suggested a new cable. Not wanting to spend the money I disassembled the steering box and put new grease after cleaning it out. I also oiled the cable with a penetrating oil to loosen up the old hard grease until it worked loose. Now I can steer it with three fingers and when I let go it tracks straight. I never installed the universal trim tab and resold it back on EBay. Now Craigcat says that the nylon bolts have to be replaced every three years and I doubt this has ever been replaced. They recommend using stainless steel bolts that they sell so you no longer have to replace them in the future.
Thanks for the info floridaman. The prop has nothing at all to do with it since I 've swapped the stock mercury 3 blade for a 4 blade as well as installed a stainless that Craigcat suggested.
All the different props perform differently but none o f them address the left turn steering issue.
If I dissassemble the steering box and lube the cable with penetrating oil and have succsess as you have, you will have solved this ongoing dilema.
I plan on taking my Craigcat out in a few weeks and will perform the service to the cables as suggested. I'll post my results when I get back.
Make sure your trim tab is all the way to the right.
I would love to see thiis forum remain active!!
I too had to adjuct my trim tab all the way to the right. Stearing is now much easier. I love my CraigCat!!
2006 CraigCat with 25 HP Mercury 2 Stroke.
Last year I sold a 22' pontoon boat and a 17' center console and bought the Craigcat. I live in a subdivision where you cannot park boats on your driveway or yard and the cat fits nicely in my garage. Also I got tired of cleaning the other boats after I use them because I am in salt water and the cat is so much easier to hose down.
My wife and I have been talking about taking a cross country trip and the cat is so much easier to tow and launch on different lakes. I use the cat for just riding around exploring and for me it is like taking my motorcycle out for a ride in the countryside. With the price of gas going up it is more affordable to take it out more often compared to the bigger boats.
I'm glad to see a few new people here. If a few people want to stay active and discuss our Craigcats, how 'bout we start a new thread? Something generic like "tell us about yourself and your Craigcat".
This way we can all start from the begining and discuss our little powerboat journey.
You in?
Count me in.
Eastern South Carolina.
Okay floridaman. We can continue here and start a new thread in the future if need be.
About me:
I purchased a brand new (old stock) 2003 E2 3 years ago. It had "0" hours on the boat engine (25 hp Mercury 2 stroke).
I've had incredible fun on my little powerboat as my wife and I love cruising the colorado river with it.
I can go about 30 mph top speed with the stock 3 blade 13 pitch prop at low elevation. It takes a while to plane out with the 13'' 3 blade but that is what gives me my best top speed.
If I switch to a 13'' 4 blade prop (Cabellas), I can get on plane significantly faster. MUCH faster actually, but I give up approx 2 mph top speed as a result.
Craigcat (Eric) suggests the Powertech 12'' stainless steel prop for overall best performance but @ $200.00, you better make sure you are never in skinny water! I don't use that prop (even though it IS the best) because many times I am in extremely shallow water and risk munching the blades.
I (we) treat out Craigcat like our Polaris Ranger that we use on our ranch and in the forrest for taking long scenic cart rides at approx 20-25 mph. Any faster than that and your eyes start to tear and you can't visually take everything in. "Aquatic sightseeing" is probably the best description of what we do with our cat.
There are a few design flaws with this boat however. Fortunately, nothing that can't be dealt with. In a sum, here they are:
1.) older models have the infamous left turning issue.
2.) You can easily chop up the end corner of the rear pontoons in very tight fast turns. (Not enough clearance to the prop during fast flexing turns)
3.) REPLACE YOUR NYLON BOLTS! Almost all of mine have cracked due to stress and drying out over time. I had lightweight aluminum ones made. Problem fixed.
4.) Should you damage your pontoons, they ARE....repeat THEY ARE repairable. Even though polyetheylene was very recently deemed UN-repairable, there are now several methods to repair them (polyethelyene). 3M now makes a one step polyetheylene epoxy that works very well and the old school method of lightly glazing the surface to change the molecular structure of the plastic to allow adhesion also works very well if done correctly.
I have taken our Craigcat out dozens and dozens of times in all types of weather conditions and while it can handle almost anything, smooth-light chop seems best fitted for an enjoyable ride.
My favorite thing to do with it is to literally surf the large wake waves that big deep "V" hulls make passing by.
I tow my boat with a Volkswagen TDI Jetta and get nearly 50 mpg doing it!
For you eco-friendly people, know that the 2 stroke Mercury engine pollutes very little when kept WOT (wide-open throttle) as there is very little unburnt oil that spills into the water. Slow idling/putzing around is when the most polluting will occur since so much of the lubricating oil in the mix is NOT burned off. Operating your engine at near max rpm (5,000-6,000) is actually the best for the enviroment for the reasons mentioned.
Wish list: I would love to put the new Evinrude 30hp EFI engine on my boat but at nearly 5k.....it's hard to justify.
How about telling us a little bit about yourself and your Craigcat experiences?
A pic taken last year on the Colorado River (Topock Gorge) Arizona/California border.
Great Picture of a CraigCat in Action.
I live in Eastern South Carolina about 45 miles inland from the Atlantic. I wanted a CraigCat ever since I saw one in 2004. I purchased my 2006 Craigcat Catch-It model in Feb 2010 from a guy in Florida. It had less than 10 hours on the 25 HP Mercury 2 Stroke. On the trip back to South Carolina from Florida, I got lots double takes. People would pull along side on the interstate just to take a long look at it. On the way home, I stopped at a Bass Pro Shop in Georgia and when I came out of the store there was a crowd gathered around my parking spot. Some even asked if I made it myself.
My wife and I mainly use it for sight seeing along the coastal rivers and the intercoastal waterway. It came with a SS prop when I got it and it seems to perform wonderfully with about 25 MPH being the top speed depending on our load.
I use only AMSOIL synthetic 2 cycle oil. It works wonderfully and burns completely and it's so efficient that you only have to mix it at a 100-1 ratio instead of the normal 50 to 1. It burns completely with no residue!! Once I started using the AmsOil I even picked up 2 MPH on the top end. I have used only AMSOIL in my outboards since 1980 and swear by it. They have several different grades depending on your 2 cycle eqipment and even one for oil injection. It costs more but you use less so it evens out. Google AMSOIL.
Bottom line, we love the CraigCat and it performs well for what it was designed for. I even use it for fishing the slow moving coastal rivers here and can get into sloughs that others can't due to the shallow draft.
I bought my '05 cat with a 25HP two stroke from a man that can no longer use it because of the hard steering. I paid $3500 for it on Ebay last year and it is a Catch-It model. I live in a city where a lot of homes are in salt water canals and it is fun to see some of these homes from their back yard for a change. I have not used it for fishing yet because I am having fun just riding around. I use to do a lot of fishing in my younger days but now I spend less money for fish by buying it from a store. We have large alligators where we live and I am afraid of running into a big one on a small boat three inches from the water.
I just bought the replacement bolts made of stainless steel from CraigCat last week but have not installed it yet. They have a showroom in Orlando and I checked the other models they had on display. The only difference I noticed in the newer models are of course the four stroke motors with the tilt and trim, a nice stereo system, a different trailer without the pvc pipes, and LED lighting. I am still recovering from spine surgery and it will be a few more months before I can use my cat again. I am glad that I could use it year round in Florida and I really prefer fall and spring when the weather is not too hot.
By the way Hunky your picture is nice but we do not have any mountains in Florida. I lived in Denver for a few years and do not miss the snow at all. When I left Denver for Florida it was in July and the ski resorts were still open. Too cold for me!
These are great replies. If you know of anyone else with a Craigcat, get 'em to join us. Also, pics are great too. There aren't of them around.
I also have been using Amsoil in all of my 2 stroke engines (I have LOTS of them) for 20 years. To be fair, I have used the wal-mart tc-3 Mercury approved 2 stroke oil in a pinch and did not notice much of any difference other than more smoking at startup.
As I've mentioned, the best prop for all of our boats is a Powertech stainless 12 inch pitch. I'm currently using a Comprop 4 blade 13 inch prop ($60.00 Cabellas) and am extremely happy with the performance all things considered. The 4 blade gives you much much better mid range power and will plane your boat out much faster than the stock 3 blade. The tradeoff is top speed. The 3 blade can get you 30 mph at low elevation where the 4 blade will give you about 27-28 mph. The 4 blade will run circles around the 3 blade in the mid range however. Also, I am only talking about Aluminum and composite, not stainless as it it too pricey for the depth of water I seem to be in a lot.
Also, I've found the best way to clean your boat is with simple green and light sandpaper. (A tip from Robert Craig). It works instantly.
floridaman, fyi the new models offer an Evinrude etec EFI 2-stroke. Many believe this is the best outboard ever made. All the reviews I have read seem to agree as well. Like I said, $5k though!...Yikes!
A small tip you could use is to get rid of your battery (weight) and just use the pull start. I have been doing this for years. You really don't save a ton of weight but every single pound counts. These boats are VERY weight sensitive. Also, my engine has NEVER not started within the first or second pull. Ever! It's nice not having to worry about a battery.
Don't forget to change your engines lower gear oil every season. Very easy to do yourself. In addition, you may want to de-carbon your engine with Seafoam once a season or so.
Good luck getting your registration decals to stick to the polyethelene pontoons. I put mine in the 2 1/2 inch space just under the deck and above the pontoons. Any other spot the decals will fall off probably much sooner than later.
Anyone else got any useful (or not) info?
I just purchased the stainless steel bolt kit from CraigCat. If you install yours before I get a chance to install mine, let me know how it went. I also installed my registration numbers in the small space between the pontoons and deck. So far, no problems.
Although I always plan to return to the dock before dark, there was one occasion where I returned later. It was good to have the battery on board for the lights. The running lights and halogen docking lights worked great!!
Regarding Engine Weight:
I don't know what models people are referring to but the 2010-11 model with the 25HP and 30HP Nissan engines weigh exactly the same. Check out the specs. It's the same block. I called Nissan directly and they confirmed this is true. The HP difference comes from the computer chip settings.
For me, I chose the Evinrude. It's 17 pounds lighter than the Nissan models at 30HP.
I'd love to hear from someone with the new Evinrude etec 30 hp efi outboard. The reviews on that engine are all very positive.
My engine is a Mercury 25 hp 2 stroke that is ridiculously light. It easily starts manually on the first pull every time. I hear the new etec is even better and twice as fuel efficient.

Eruption of Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat
April 22, 2013
On July 28, 2005, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flying onboard the Aqua satellite took this picture of a delicate plume of volcanic ash drifting westward from the Soufriere Hills Volcano on Montserrat. Montserrat appears in the middle of the image. Surrounding the island are its neighbors, several of them ringed in bright blue-green. A few things can cause this color: coral reefs covered by shallow water, sediment, and phytoplankton. Toward the lower left corner of the image, the ocean appears lighter. This lighter color is caused by sunglint, the reflection of the sun's light into the satellite sensor. Credit: Image courtesy Jeff Schmaltz, MODIS Rapid Response Team, NASA GSFC

Pune: The auto rickshaw union has threatened to go on an indefinite strike protesting against the irregularitiesbeing carried out by the Pune Regional Transport Office (RTO). The union members of Pune District Transport Seva (PDTS), allege that the Pune RTO is charging Rs 3,000 extra for the registration of new auto rickshaws. Besides this, PDTS has said that despite the fact that Pune RTO has permitted us to ferry six school children in the auto rickshaw the traffic department is taking action against them. PDTS will be going on strike next month.
Founder president of PDTS, Sanjay Kawade, said, "We have proof of irregularities at Pune RTO. Instead of Rs 4,500 they are charging over Rs 7,500 for new auto registrations. Besides this they do not allow to transfer the old transfer the old LPG kit in the new auto rickshaw even after the old auto rickshaw is scrapped."
Kawade added,"Apart from this the electronic meters are also not allowed to get transferred from the old to new auto rickshaw. We have have lodged a first investigation report at Samarth police station for 30 auto rickshaws drivers who were fleeced by the RTO. If the police is unable to take action in the next 15 days then we will be going for indefinite strike."
Deputy Pune Regional Transport Officer (RTO), Anil Valiv said, "After checking the condition of CNG cylinder we allow it to get transferred. The charges for registration of the auto rickshaw is taken as per norms and we do not charge extra."

Pen pals
Has anyone ever had a pen pal before? I would really like one but I wouldn't know how to set about doing it. Though I would want someone that I have never talked to have my address.

Louis Tomlinson
Facts all about:
Name Louis Tomlinson
Birth name Louis Troy Austin
Birthday 24 December 1991
Star sign Capricorn
Birthplace Doncaster, South Yorkshire
Now Louis William Tomlinson, the One Direction singer was born Louis Troy Austin to parents Johannah Deakin and Troy Austin on Christmas Eve 1991.
After splitting from Troy, Louis' mother married his stepfather Mark Tomlinson and changed her son's name. She later ended her relationship with Mark and married Dan Deakin in July 2014.
Louis Tomlinson - the oldest member of One Direction - starred in several musical productions while studying for his A Levels at local comprehensive Hall Cross School.
He auditioned for The X Factor in 2010, performing the song Hey There Delilah by the Plain White T's.
Failing to qualify as a solo contestant, he was later put into boy band One Direction. Louis Tomlinson joined Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne.
1D proved extremely popular with the public and ended up coming 3rd in the competition. They gained thousands of fans while competing in Simon Cowell's talent contest.
In One Direction, Louis Tomlinson has achieved huge success both in the UK and overseas. The band have toured in countries including Australia, the USA and Japan.
They've had a number of No 1 singles, such as What Makes You Beautiful, Little Things and Comic Relief hit One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks).
Louis' private life has been scrutinised by fans. Some very vocal Directioners are fixated on the imagined romance between him and Harry Styles. They refer to the boys as Larry Stylinson.
Louis has vehemently denied the rumours and Harry followed suit when a reporter asked him outright if they're an item.
When he made Eleanor Calder his girlfriend in 2011, Louis proved that he prefers ladies. They have always tried hard to make their romance work, despite his busy schedule.
'Obviously it's not easy having a long-term relationship in this job, but it frustrates me when people say it's impossible,' said Louis in 2014.
'It's definitely doable, it's down to the people and whether they want to make it work enough.'

- Brian McKitish, Fantasy Basketball

It has been a busy week for sports fans, and at this stage of the season, fantasy hoops has perhaps taken a back seat to NCAA brackets and fantasy baseball drafts. While everyone is taking in March Madness with an eye on their brackets, true fantasy hoopsters should be keeping their scout eye on the future fantasy prospects playing in this year's tournament.
Some of these kids will be making an impact in fantasy leagues as early as next season, and the top of this year's draft class (if everyone comes out as expected) offers some serious NBA-ready talent. And since a lot of fantasy owners are already looking ahead to next season, let's take a look at some of the best prospects in the tourney with a fantasy twist:
1. John Wall, PG, Kentucky: Chad Ford calls him "Derrick Rose meets Jason Kidd," which is quite the compliment, and we certainly won't complain if it holds true in the fantasy game. Unlike Rose, who is a terrific player in real life but lacks the 3-point shooting and steals to be a fantasy stud, Wall has the potential to be dynamic both as an NBA and fantasy prospect. He's averaging 16.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.5 blocks and a 3-pointer while shooting 46.5 percent from the floor and 76.3 percent from the line as a freshman. The only potential hiccup in his fantasy game might be the lack of range on his jump shot (which may improve with time). In the future, I see Wall offering Rajon Rondo type of boards, assists and steals with much more scoring but without the horrendous FT percentage.

2. Evan Turner, SG, Ohio State: If it weren't for John Wall, Turner would be a lock as the No. 1 overall selection in the upcoming NBA draft. Averaging 19.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, Turner is a do-it-all type of prospect (think Brandon Roy). Not only is the big combo guard a scoring machine, but he also has tremendous handles, great court vision and lockdown defensive ability. Aside from the lack of range on his jumper and somewhat pedestrian free-throw shooting (74.4 percent), there's little not to like here. At some point down the line, he very well could turn into an 18/5/5 type of player, but his most redeeming fantasy quality might be his defensive abilities. He has a ridiculous wingspan which should help him become one of the league's best steal artists while potentially offering a block per game to boot.
3. Wesley Johnson, SF, Syracuse: Johnson is one of my favorite fantasy prospects thanks to his statistical diversity. Averaging 16.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.8 steals, 1.9 blocks and 1.4 3-pointers for Cuse this season, Johnson is one of those rare players who could potentially provide help in steals, blocks and 3-pointers. And that, my friends, is pure fantasy gold. One thing is for sure: He's got all the tools for it (massive wingspan, incredible athleticism, explosive leaper, great range on his jumper). He doesn't look as though he can handle being the No. 1 scorer on an NBA roster, but he would make for a great No. 2 or No. 3, and his statistical versatility has me dreaming of a cross between Rudy Gay and Shawn Marion (in his Phoenix Suns days).
4. DeMarcus Cousins, C, Kentucky: Questions about his motor may drop Cousins a bit in the draft, but there is no questioning his pure talent. An accomplished scorer and rebounder in the paint, Cousins is averaging 15.1 points, 10.0 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.9 blocks per game for the Wildcats this season. From a fantasy standpoint, Cousins looks like your typical upper-echelon power forward who can offer double-double ability with about 1.5 blocks to go along with the usual subpar free-throw shooting (61.3 percent). There is a ton of upside here, so make sure you get a good look at him in next week's action.
5. Derrick Favors, PF, Georgia Tech: With Tech losing to Ohio State on Sunday, you won't get a chance to see more of Favors, but I'd be crazy to put together a list of NBA prospects and not mention him. Favors, remember, was a higher-ranked prospect (by most accounts) than Wall coming into the season. He hasn't exactly dominated the way we thought he would this year, but it's hard to miss this kid's potential. Averaging 12.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 2.1 blocks per game as a freshman, Favors might be better served sticking in the college ranks for another year so he can refine his offensive game before heading to the NBA. He's still a little too raw to be considered an immediate impact player if he does decide to come out this season, that is, unless he lands with a team that could use him right away.
You will notice some big changes in the ranks starting this week as we'll be looking to ride the hot hand all the way through the end of the season. With such little time left, those on current hot streaks could very well stay hot the rest of the way. The same can be said for those who are currently slumping.
It's also important to note that injuries play a big role this late in the season, even minor ones. If a player is going to be out a week or more, they are going to take a big hit in the ranks. Some will even be dropped completely from the rankings. Let's take a quick look at some of the more significant changes in this week's top 130:
Jrue Holiday, PG, Philadelphia 76ers (64): Profiled in my last column as a high-risk/high-reward pickup, Holiday has been more rewarding than I even thought he could be. Averaging 14.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.8 3-pointers this month, Holiday is proving to be one of the best late-season pickups in the league.
Marcus Thornton, SG, New Orleans Hornets (74): It's been two weeks since the last rankings came out, so this upgrade might seem a little late. Thornton has dominated in March to the tune of 20.9 points, 1.2 steals and 2.3 3-pointers in 30.3 minutes per game. He'd actually be ranked higher than this if it weren't for the uncertainty about his role after Chris Paul returns to the lineup. I think he'll be just fine, but it is about to get awfully crowded in the Hornets backcourt.
John Salmons, SG/SF, Milwaukee Bucks (53): Salmons has been simply brilliant since being traded to the Bucks, averaging 19.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.4 3-pointers while shooting 86.7 percent from the line in 16 contests. Given the way he's playing (not to mention the Bucks), I wouldn't be surprised if he kept this up the rest of the way.
Chris Kaman, C, Los Angeles Clippers (56): Inconsistent minutes and play have zapped some of Kaman's value as he's averaging just 11.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 0.8 blocks in 30.8 minutes per game over his past five contests. Kaman was dominant for much of the season, so hopefully this is just a short rough patch for him.
Tim Duncan, C/PF, San Antonio Spurs (47): In typical Gregg Popovich fashion, the resting of Tim Duncan has begun. He's seen just 24.6 minutes per game over his past five, but luckily he's been fairly productive despite the limited time, with 14.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 0.6 blocks per game. Before you get too concerned, it should be noted that the Spurs currently sit in seventh place in the Western Conference and will want to improve their seeding heading into the playoffs. That means Pops might not be able to rest Duncan as much as he might want to down the stretch.
Andrea Bargnani, PF/C, Toronto Raptors (66): Mired in a big-time shooting slump, Bargnani is averaging just 12.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 0.2 blocks and 0.6 3-pointers over his past five games. He should get his shooting touch back soon, but we don't know when that will happen or whether it will be too late. Given his upside, you have to stick with him and hope that he turns it around soon.
Andrei Kirilenko, SF/PF, Utah Jazz (91): For a stretch in January and February, Kirilenko tricked us into thinking that we could rely on him in the fantasy game. Lesson learned. Injuries led to inconsistent play and AK is now averaging just 9.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks per game this month. He's still in the rankings thanks to his steals and blocks, but if his latest calf injury lingers, he could drop out by this time next week.

Introducing oneself is the toughest thing; however, I will try my best. Hello, I am Uttam Raj Regmi.
I was born December 1975 in Pokhara, a small beautiful city that lies west of Kathmandu, Nepal.
I completed my School Leaving Certificate (SLC) from Pokhara, and pursued my bachelor degree in Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE)
from the University of Baguio, Philippines. I came back to Nepal in 1997 with my engineering degree hoping for a bright future, however,
I found myself stuck with a petty low paying job with a city construction company.
I became very frustrated with the nature of the job and the low pay; hence I joined classes at Pokhara University
for two years and obtained my MBA. I shifted to Kathmandu in 2002 and joined a Fast Moving Consumer Goods company as a management trainee and worked there till 2005.
During that time I married my college friend, in 2002. My wife also has an MBA and presently works in a bank. We are blessed with two beautiful daughters.
At present, I work in the marketing department of a non-profit organization that specializes in social marketing of health products in Nepal.
During my stay with this organization I have been given the opportunity to carry my studies further, and received a Master of Sociology Degree from one of the Universities of Nepal.
Regarding my hobbies, I am a nature lover; I love to travel, know culture, and interact with people. I am also a dreamer,
I enjoy dreaming; I dream of roaming around the world, but in actual fact I have only been to few countries: India, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia.
I am inquisitive by nature, and curious to know about cosmology, the planetary motions, which are some of my main fields of interest, but I am a man with no definitive career goals. . .
I've studied civil engineering, received an MBA, and tried sociology, but still I am not clear what my life's vision is.
I always had an inner desire to write something. I tried it a few times, but it never turned out right.
Then a year ago, an incident occurred where I was taken into police custody in my own home city when we had gone to participate in an annual company conference.
The two nights in police custody was a life learning institution for me. I saw many things; corruption, betrayal, barbarism, sexual harassment, Nepotism etc.
I was determined to write something about it, so, I landed up writing this novel "Two Nights in Police Custody".

If you receive your award letter before you register, you may charge tuition and fees up to the amount of your grant/scholarship eligibility. Any remaining balance can be used to charge required books and supplies if permitted by the terms of the grant/scholarship. If you have paid your own costs before receiving your award letter, or if you did not use all of your aid after tuition, fees, book and supply charges are paid, a check for the balance will be issued to you later in the semester, as long as you maintain eligibility. You are not allowed to receive federal financial aid at two institutions at the same time.
NOTE: Federal regulations require course attendance for all financial aid recipients. This process is detailed online in the College Catalog.
Awards are based on full-time (12 or more credits) attendance. Actual amounts are determined by your enrollment status at the end of the refund period for each class and may be reduced or cancelled at less than full-time enrollment. In general, grants are reduced to 75% at 9 - 11 credits, and to 50% at 6 - 8 credits.
For additional financial aid eligibility requirements, please access the following link: Standards of Academic Progress
To be considered, complete the FAFSA. Award eligibility varies. Eligible students must demonstrate financial need as determined by the federal methodology, meet standards of academic progress, not owe due to an over award or be in default on any Title IV Aid, and be working toward a Delta College academic degree or certificate.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012 reduces the duration of a student's Pell grant eligibility to a 12-semester (full-time) lifetime limit. Students who have received Pell grant funds for the equivalent of 12 full-time semesters will not be eligible to receive this grant for future semesters. Full-time enrollment is defined as 12 or more credits per semester.
How do you know if you are nearing your lifetime limit? Your SAR (Student Aid Report - results from completing your FAFSA) will report the amount of Federal Pell Grant that you have received. You may also review the results at NSLDS.
To apply, complete the FAFSA. Those students with the most financial need as determined by federal methodology will be considered first. Eligible students must also meet standards of academic progress, not owe a refund or be in default on any Title IV Aid, and be working toward a Delta College academic degree or certificate.
Achieve a qualifying ACT score and complete the FAFSA using Delta College's school code (002251). Students whose FAFSA is received by March 1, will receive priority consideration. The Michigan Department of Treasury awards per academic year based on eligibility.
Eligible students must be under the age of 20 at the time of high school graduation/GED completion and have been a Medicaid recipient. To receive TIP at Delta College, students must submit copies of TIP letter from the State, high school diploma/GED and birth certificate. For a copy of your TIP letter, contact the Michigan Department of Treasury, Office of Scholarships and Grants at 1-888-447-2687. Eligible students must request in writing TIP renewal each academic year.
Students with one-quarter minimum Native American blood quantum, who are enrolled members of a federally recognized tribe and legal residents of Michigan for one year or more may qualify. ITW covers tuition only, for any number of credits. For more information, visit michigan.gov/mdcr.
Each in-district high school will receive one scholarship. Each high school is responsible for determining and administering the process to nominate one student for the scholarship. Recipients must possess a 3.25 or higher GPA on a 4.0 scale or a 3.85 or higher GPA on a weighted scale. This scholarship pays for tuition and fees up to 62 credits. Scholarship can be used for up to four years, provided the recipient attends consecutive Fall and Winter semesters. Spring/Summer semester attendance is optional. Full-time enrollment is not required. Recipients must maintain a minimum 3.0 college GPA.
The BTG provides financial assistance for short-term training programs offered through the LifeLong Learning Office. Eligibility is determined by financial need. Grant pays for up to 1/3 of tuition costs or a maximum of $692. Applications are available in the Financial Aid Office and on the Financial Aid Forms page.
Eligible in-district graduates are selected by their alternative high school administrator. AES will cover up to 6 credit hours of tuition only each semester, up to a maximum of 30 total credit hours. Program must be used within four years of the initial award.
External Scholarships are funds provided to students by local and national clubs, organizations, agencies and companies. Scholarship monies may be sent directly to the Financial Aid Office with instructions regarding disbursement. Scholarship checks made out to Delta College or Delta College and the student must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office for application to a student's account.
Students should use free state and national search sites to identify scholarship opportunities or visit their local library to search for community scholarships. Residents of Bay, Saginaw and Midland counties are encouraged to apply for scholarships through these local foundations:
Opportunities available specifically for students with disabilities.
Michigan Education and Training Voucher Program (ETV)
Educational loans are available to assist students with any unmet educational costs. Loans must be repaid, and should be considered carefully. Students should always file a FAFSA first in order to be considered for federal loan eligibility. When that eligibility is exhausted, parent and alternative loans are the next consideration. Watch the videos Responsible Borrowing to learn about your responsibilities as a borrower and what you should consider when taking out loans for college and Repayment: How to Manage Your Student Loans to learn more about changing repayment plans, postponing or reducing your payments, or combining your federal student loans.

New study finds that strong social ties may increase your chances of living longer by 50%
Tinley Park, IL (PRWEB) November 27, 2010
Dr. Sheila Crowe of Body & Soul Health Care in Tinley Park suggests more than getting plenty of quality sleep, eating regular nutritious meals, regular spinal adjustments & massages to experience vital health.

Many gourmet shops offer classes for all levels! A private group yoga, hypnotherapy for healing, weight loss and relaxation is also a healthy way to bond with friends. Many of Dr. Crowe's patients are already enjoying social health in their church groups, families and relationships with friends. She has found that these patients are healthier in mind, body and spirit. Dr. Crowe is currently accepting new patients. She may be reached for an appointment at 708-532-6450.

Saturday Night Live had a field day at the expense of Fox & Friends, and mostly cohost Elisabeth Hasselbeck, during the show's cold opening Saturday.
Mocking the program's coverage of the Affordable Care Act – aka Obamacare – SNL regulars Vanessa Bayer, Taran Killam and Bobby Moynihan sat in for the Fox gang but they took the biggest swings at Hasselbeck.
Explaining her own objections to Obamacare, the former View host insisted that when her husband tried to sign up, the website "redirected him to a porn site!"

Julian Fellowes Has Decided Matthew Crawley's Fate on DOWNTON ABBEY
**SPOILER ALERT for U.S. fans of DOWNTON ABBEY who have not yet viewed the drama's third season or last night's holiday episode which aired on Britain's ITV network**
DOWNTON ABBEY creator Julian Fellowes has officially decided the fate of Dan Stevens' character 'Matthew Crawley,' he told the Daily Telegraph this weekend.
Crawley, following the series' Christmas special, will officially be killed off. Fellowes told the paper that he "didn't really have an option."
Rumors of Stevens' potential departure developed months ago, when he first made the move to Broadway to star in THE HEIRESS alongside Oscar-nominated actress Jessica Chastain.
"We have always tried to persuade him to stay," Fellowes said. "He had done fantastically well for the series and his creation of Matthew was terrific.
But there was no changing Steven's mind, Fellowes said.
"But this is life. Dan felt that this was right thing for him, and the right moment to move on to different areas."
There were few options Fellowes could take with DOWNTON's Crawley, while respecting the character's relationship with Mary. There was one choice, and Fellowes, as the showrunner, knew it was the only viable one.
"So we didn't really have any option. By him dying, their love can remain in tact."
In a recently released statement, the British network defended its decision to write off Stevens' character in the manner that they did. "Over the last three years, audiences across the world have been captivated by the ups and downs of Mary and Matthew's relationship," the network said. "It is for this reason that the producers decidEd Matthew and Mary could not simply be estranged or parted, resulting in his untimely and tragic death at the end of the Christmas episode."
The network adds that Mary would be returning for the fourth season of the show which commences production in February. "Alongside all the usual drama, comedy and romance involving the much-loved cast of characters," the statement reads, "viewers will see Mary adjusting to her life and attempting to move on without the man she loved."
Season 3 of DOWNTON ABBEY will premiere Jan. 6, on PBS.

Cards take early lead with solo shot by Albert
1-0 Cards mid of 1
Looks like the Braves will have to come from behind again if they are to win.
Lohse gives up a 1 out double to Heyward then retires the next two batters.
1-0 bad guys after 1.
Hudson having trouble throwing strikes. 33 pitches 18 strikes 15 balls. Feliz on 2nd with 1 out in top of 2nd.
Ryan ground out to SS..Feliz to 3rd two outs and Schumaker up.
Schumaker grounds out to SS, 1-0 Cards mid 2. Hudson Pitch count over 40.
1-0 Cards after 2. Braves leave another runner stranded. Lohse looks very good, he is getting ahead of the batters. Was hoping the Braves would jump all over him and get into the Cards bullpen. With no off days for the Cards the more work the bullpen the more fatigued I think they will get.
both teams score in the 3rd. With 2 outs left in the top of the 4th Hudson has thrown 75 pitches.
Hudson gets out of the 4th, however pitch count is way up. Cards 2 Braves 1 mid 4.
Rasmus pulls an Edmonds and robs McClouth of a HR to lead the bottom of the 4th. AGon follows with a double. 1 out AGon on 2nd
Next two guys out, Lohse dodges trouble again. Cards 2 Braves 1 after 4 innings.
Albert leads of top of 5th with solo shot. Cards 3 Braves 1 no outs top of 5th. Thank goodness both of his HR's have been solo shots. Holiday bloops a single to right. 1 on no outs.
Wow Cards have put a 4 spot on Hudson in the top of 5th to lead 6-1. Don't see the Cards blowing this one. Looks like a 6 game lead with 19 to play.

Turn to Your Friends
Sanem and I took turns crossing the street to each other's townhomes for afternoon tea, at least once a week, for seven years. In our nearly identical kitchens, we put out similar spreads, a smaller tea pot steamed above a larger tea pot, honey-colored tea served in little glass cups, warm bread, an assortment of cheeses and jams, and cookies for our kids. Sanem was from Turkey, my family was from Iraq, and our tea rituals mirrored one another. While our children played in the upstairs bedrooms, … [Read more...]

It had nothing to do with the loneliness of living in a foreign country or being away from family for the first time. I simply had time on my hands, and I wanted to make a difference.I … [Read more...]

Unlike fundamental analysis, which focuses on how micro and macroeconomic forces influence prices, technical analysis deals only with a market's price history as it is presented in a price chart. Technical analysts contend that all the fundamental factors that influence a price's behavior, such as trends, investor sentiment, and the supply and demand forces within the market, are clearly visible in a price chart, thus negating the need for traders to watch financial news or study the balance sheets of individual companies.
Traders and investors who use technical analysis have many mathematical tools at their disposal. Most of these tools generate what are called 'lagging indicators,' which are values calculated from past price data. The two primary types of indicators are the trend-identifiers and oscillators. Trend-identifiers, such as moving averages, are usually plotted directly on top of the price data, smoothing it out to more clearly show the direction of its trend. Oscillators are typically displayed at the bottom of a price chart, and are designed to gauge short-term investor emotion by giving overbought and oversold signals.
There are a few specialized schools of technical analysis. One of them follows what is known as Elliott Wave Theory, which claims to be able to predict the size and direction of price moves within existing trends, as well as trend reversals. Another school uses Fibonacci numbers in its technical analysis. Fibonacci numbers are numbers that occur with uncanny frequency in nature, and are thought to accurately predict the lengths of market moves and pullbacks.
★ Principles of Technical Analysis
Technical Analysis is the quantitative study of prices and volumes in order to predict the price of an underlying asset like a stock, currency pair, index or commodity. This type of analysis helps traders determine what is likely to happen in the future so that they can make accurate market moves and high returns on their investments.
★ Trend Following
Trend following is a form of technical analysis that looks at historical data on to see if a trend is occurring. A trend is most simply defined as any sustained movement in one direction. By looking at the historical moving average of an asset, one can determine whether or not a trend is developing.
Trading Example :
You are interested in purchasing gold, and want to see if there is an established trend. You look at the 2-day moving average for Gold, as well as the 5-day moving average for Gold. If the 2-day moving average has crossed significantly either above or below the 5-day moving average, you can safely assume that a trend has developed, in either an upwards or downwards direction.
★ Means Reversion
The concept behind means reversion is that assets tend to settle back towards their mean. If a trader can determine the mean of an asset, it will make it much easier to predict the direction accurately and get the high return on the investment.
★ Tracking Momentum
Tracking momentum is a common tool used in technical analysis. By using MACD, an investor can determine whether the momentum of an asset is rising or falling, and place their trade accordingly.
Calculating momentum is a complex affair, but once an MACD indicator is determined, it can be used to track the changes day to day of short-term and long-term averages. If the short-term averages are generally larger than the long-term averages, momentum can be said to be increasing, while if they are smaller, momentum can be said to be decreasing.
★ Pattern Return
Finally, many technical analysts look for patterns in the movement of an asset or sector of the market. Finding these patterns can be somewhat complicated, and false patterns may lead a trader to invest unwisely, but if properly used pattern recognition can lead to long-term profitability.
