On April 5, 2012, President Obama signed into law the JOBS (Jumpstart Our Business Startups) Act (H.R. 3606), a package of bills aimed at easing the regulatory burdens on private and newly public companies during the capital-raising process. One part of the JOBS Act will remove the ban on general solicitation and general advertising for private offerings of securities under Rule 506 of Regulation D. In addition to easing regulation of these private offerings, removing the ban will likely facilitate the raising of early-stage capital online.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will have 90 days to publish rules that will govern the new Rule 506. Rule 506, which contains no limits on offering size, is the most widely relied upon rule used for private offerings that are exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Demanding food security, universalisation of the Public Distribution System (PDS) and expressing their concern over the increasing violence against women in the country, the National Federation of Indian Women (NFIW) on Thursday announced that it will hold two major national protests on September 18 and October 2 on the issues.
Explaining the decision, which was taken at the Federation's recently concluded all-India conference held in Chennai, NFIW president Aruna Roy said: "We need to focus on the systematic rise in violence against women, including molestation, rape, witch hunt, moral policing and a whole range of structural social and economic oppression. There is also an urgent need to speak of women's rights not exclusive to, but in conjunction with other human and development rights."
She added: "Even the representation of women in the media which is tied to the project of consumerism unleashed by the new economic policy is also an urgent issue that we will focus on. While the visibility of women in media is increasing, what is missing is empowerment. We need to link the two."
She also questioned the efficacy of the National Commission for Women and said, "The Commission needs to reflect on its role and work on gender-based issues. There is an urgent need for some serious evaluation and thinking on what it is doing for women's issues in India."
NFIW working president Gargi Chakravarty said: "Violence against a woman starts even before she is born and continues through all the phases of her life. Even after 66 years of Independence and 60 years of Indian Parliamentary Democracy, it is a shame that victimisation of women in various horrific forms still continues throughout the country."
Meanwhile, pointing to the rising levels of hunger and malnutrition especially among women and children in the country, NFIW general secretary Annie Raja said: "The United Progressive Alliance lacks political will and social commitment to bring a comprehensive and Universal Food Security Bill. The Bill which was tabled in Parliament or the reported "Plan-B" proposal cannot ensure access and availability of food to the people. The NFIW has decided to intensify its campaign and struggles on these issues. As a part of this, it has been decided that September 18 -- World Food Day -- will be observed as a demand day and the slogan will be 'Food Must Be Our Fundamental Right' and it has to be guaranteed."
She added: "On this day dharnas and picketing of the Central Government offices will be organised. This will be done from village to the National Capital."
Ms. Raja noted that to protest against the uncontrolled and escalating violence against women, the NFIW will observe October 2 as a day to protest. She said, "The main slogan for this campaign is 'Stop violence against women, ensure their safety and security'. On this day human chain in front of the Central and State Government offices will be organised. We also appeal to all organisations and movements who support our issues of struggle to join in both these agitations."

Robert J. Samuelson: Europe's grim choices
Europe is at the abyss – again. Its turmoil is rattling global stock markets and stoking fear and bewilderment. The obvious question is, what's the solution? The answer is, there is no solution. Europe faces choices, some bad and others worse. Unfortunately, it's unclear which are which. The best that can be imagined is that Europe lurches from crisis to crisis and that its slumping economy weakens the already fragile global recovery. The worst is a massive flight from the euro and an economic free fall that resurrects the dark days of 2008 and 2009.
Can anyone doubt that the euro's creation in 1999 was a huge blunder? It aimed to promote European prosperity and unity, but it's doing just the opposite. The very belief in its early success reduced interest rates in Europe's periphery (Greece, Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Italy). Low rates fed credit booms and housing bubbles that, once burst, caused recessions and swollen budget deficits.
As for unity – the political dividend of economic success – the euro now sows rancor. Germans, Italians, Greeks and the others quarrel over who's to blame and who should bear the cost. The single currency actually hinders economic revival. One way countries cushion austerity – the spending cuts and tax increases designed to cut budget deficits – is currency depreciation. This makes their prices more competitive, boosting exports and tourism. But euro countries lack this choice, because they're yoked to the euro. The human costs are immense. Unemployment is 14.2 percent in Ireland, 21.7 percent in Greece and 24.3 percent in Spain. How much suffering can societies tolerate without profound upheaval?
Two events underlie the new euro fears.
The first is Greece's June 17 election, because it might result in the country's quitting the euro. One leading party – Syriza – promises to repudiate the austerity agreement with other eurozone countries, the International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank (ECB). If that happened, the loans contingent on austerity would probably stop. Lacking euros to pay its bills, Greece would adopt a national currency that, almost certainly, would lose value against the euro, perhaps 50 percent or more.
The second event involves Spain, whose government shored up Bankia, a major lender, with 19 billion euros ($24 billion) to offset loan losses. It's feared that other banks harbor more losses and that these, piled atop existing budget deficits, will so scare investors that Spain would face much higher interest rates. Spain would need bailing out, a huge task. Its economy is five times larger than Greece's.
Broadly speaking, the 17-member eurozone faces two choices.
One is to defend the euro at all costs. The immediate consequences for Greece – or other countries – of leaving the euro would be dire. Some companies, unable to repay euro-denominated debts, would go bankrupt. Inflation would shoot up. Banks might suffer large withdrawals. Worse, if Greece dropped the euro, it might trigger a chain reaction. Depositors in Spain, Italy or Ireland might stage runs on their banks, trying to withdraw euros before they were replaced by less valuable national currencies.

The American public has lost patience with Washington. The question is, now what?
Congress is unable to do its job. It displays neither competence nor responsibility. It lurches – reeling from crisis to crisis, each one self-manufactured in an effort to postpone the reckoning from some earlier crisis. It shut the government down over a temporary budget.

I'm writing in response to a letter published in the Aug. 5 issue titled "Vigilance will keep religion out of politics" and written by Elijah Bryant.
First of all, there is no way to keep religion out of politics, work, school or homes. The only question is what religion will be taught in these places. The religion we choose will determine what is morally acceptable in our society.

Years ago when I was growing up on a farm in Kansas, my old neighbor had what he lovingly called his fishin' worm tree.
Back in those days, I didn't know much about trees, other than some were good for climbing. But I did know the worms I used for fishing were found in the soil. So my neighbor's name for the tree was a bit confusing.

During the 2013 legislative session, the General Assembly took positive steps in enacting the first comprehensive criminal code reform since 1977 in House Enrolled Act 1006. That means there had not been any significant change to the criminal code in more than 36 years. An overhaul has long been overdue. This was a significant step toward a better criminal-justice system in Indiana, with protection of the public tempered by the fair treatment of those accused of committing crimes.

When I was approached to be the 2013 co-chair for the United Way of Perry County, it did not take me long to decide to accept the role. Volunteering has always been a big part of who I am today.
Early on my parents instilled an importance in giving and volunteering.
I was walking through the cemetery at Saint Meinrad Archabbey a few weeks ago and reminiscing about the monks I've know. I found the man who baptized me and the one who heard my first confession and taught me about faith.

A local judge has been suspended without pay after police say he lied about being attacked last year.
Investigators say Waterloo Village Justice Roger Barto told them he was hit in the head with a toilet tank lid and choked as he was leaving his courtroom in August of 2013. Investigators say Barto then collected more than $3,000 in medical benefits and stole gasoline that belonged to the village.
Police say Barto is facing several charges and is due back in court next month.

Commenting on the news, Steve Butt, Senior Project Manager stated, "This is a step forward for the Alaska LNG project and shows continued progress toward building Alaska's energy future.

Don't poke the beard.
Brian Wilson and Giants CEO Larry Baer had an interesting exchange following Thursday night's Giants-Dodgers game as the pitcher made his away across the field to confront Baer over his 2012 World Series ring, according to CSN Bay Area. Things got heated because Wilson is upset he still hasn't received his bling.
"Just a conversation between me and him," Wilson said.
Giants vice president Staci Slaughter said Wilson declined an invitation to the ring ceremony this year. Since then, calls placed to the pitcher for ring arrangements haven't been returned.
"It's disappointing. It's unfortunate. It's bizarre, really," Slaughter said. "This organization really has tried to do the right thing, and I don't know where this is coming from. It wasn't for a lack of effort on our part. Larry, [vice president] Bobby [Evans] and [manager Bruce] Bochy — everybody has made an effort to reach out to him."
Check it out in the video below.
That's all she wrote. Well, except for that anticlimactic series against the Houston Astros.

Wescom chief: No standoff in Ayungin Shoal
More News from Frances Mangosing
MANILA, Philippines – The Western Command vowed that it will not abandon Ayungin Shoal (Second Thomas Reef) in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) even as China maintained its presence there.
"As far as the Wescom is concerned we are continuously monitoring our good friends in that area with what is available with my command and we provide the reports to the national leadership for their appreciation," Wescom chief Lieutenant General Rustico Guerrero told reporters in an interview after a command conference at Camp Aguinaldo on Thursday.
"Rest assured that we will not leave Ayungin," he added.
Guerrero said the presence of Chinese vessels vary from time to time.
In May, the Philippines protested the intrusion of a Chinese warship and maritime surveillance vessels in Ayungin shoal, which is within the Philippine territory.
The Philippine military's detachment in Ayungin is a rusty ship that ran aground in 1999 called BRP Sierra Madre.
Asked about China's offer to remove the ship in the contested waters early this month, Rustico said only the Department of Foreign Affairs can answer such question.
"We're doing our best to protect our territory, our outposts are properly manned and we are continuously monitoring the activities of other nations in that area," he said.
He also clarified that there is no standoff between China and Philippines in Ayungin as of latest, but said that both countries have been "observing" each other.
The Philippine government maintained that Ayungin shoal is part of the Philippine territory, as it is located 105.77 nautical miles from Palawan and is well within the Philippines' 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
Meanwhile, in reaction to reports that China will deploy a hovercraft in the region, the Wescom chief said they are monitoring the developments in the Chinese armed forces.
Guerrero said that as of the latest, there is one Chinese ship in the area and several fishing vessels.
"There are Filipino fishing boats, there are Vietnamese fishing boats so their numbers differ or vary but it's an open [area] so there's a lot of fishing activities there as of now," he told reporters.
Asked why foreign vessels are allowed to fish in Ayungin, Guerrero only replied: "I cannot answer that."

'Grapes' gives B's some love
|11.23.08 at 7:53 pm ET
Everybody knows that Don Cherry has always harbored a soft spot in his heart for the Spoked B of the Boston Bruins — the team that gave him his first shot behind an NHL bench — and the inimitable Grapes gave the Big, Bad B's a couple of screaming one-timers during the must-see Coach's Corner on Hockey Night in Canada last weekend.
First Dandy Don — decked out in a Looney Toons tie in honor of the Grey Cup held in Montreal last weekend — tosses a few deserved attaboys at Marc Savard for potting his 600th career point last week, and then praised the B's center for the all-around game he continues to play for Coach Claude Julien in Boston this season. He's built on last year's All-Star worthy season with a campaign that currently has him ranked second in the NHL in assists (19), third in points (27) and third with a sterling +13 mark for the season. This from an undeniably gifted skater/playmaker that was a minus player in all but one season before coming to Boston, and is currently still a -61 for his career. Three more years of a Julien/Savard combo might just see him break into positive territory.
The Savard kudos continues a growing back-and-forth mutual admiration society between the crafty center and the God Father of blustery hockey talk in the Great White North.
A little later on Cherry also ladles some puck love for the "great Canadian spirit" that defenseman Andrew Ference displayed when he powered right through the pain of a broken tibia in his right leg to still clear the puck during a PK situation against the Canadiens. As B's fans will remember, Ference was hit in the right leg with an Andre Markov slapper, dropped to the ice in obvious pain, and then battled several times to regain his footing. The felled blueliner then cleared the puck from Boston's zone once he got back on his skates. Ference was diagnosed with fractured tibia several days later, but — even after repeated viewings — it simply doesn't get any less compelling watching the blueliner battle to get to his feet and do his job before gingerly skating off the ice.
Courtesy of the wonderful world of youtube, Cherry's bon mots on Savard start at about roughly the four minute mark and Ference is at roughly the 5:50 mark…enjoy.

Renowned writers, intellectuals and film-makers are likely to descend on the temple town of Varanasi early next month to take part in a convention aimed at strengthening secular and democratic forces.
The convention of litterateurs and cultural activists will also focus on thwarting "communal forces represented by Narendra Modi", said Sanjay Srivastava, General Secretary of the UP unit of the Progressive Writers`Association (PWA). The convention will be held on May four, Srivastave, the organiser of the proposed event, told PTI by telephone from Varanasi.
"We have sent invitations to Nobel laureate Amartya Sen, Booker prize-winning author Arundhati Roy and film celebrities like Gulzar, Shabana Azmi and Mahesh Bhatt to participate in the convention, Srivastava said. Besides PWA, student organisations like AISF are working for the success of the convention, he said. "The list of invitees were finalised at a meeting of the convention's coordination committee held in Delhi last week," he added.
The members of the committee included Girish Karnad, Jnanpith award winning Kannada author U R Ananthamurthy and Hindi litterateurs like Namvar Singh, Ashok Vajpayee and Vibhuti Narain Rai, Srivastava said. "All the invitees are people who have been fighting Modi and his ilk in their own ways," "Although the convention will take place on May four, a week ahead of voting in Varanasi, our endeavour is to persuade participants to stay on for a few days and support us in a public awareness campaign to defeat any attempt to polarise the city along communal lines," he said.

Authorities are asking for your help in locating a wanted man.
Robert Finch has been on the run since Monday after Baxter County, Arkansas authorities say he beat his wife over the head with a crow bar.
That incident happened in Baxter County on Monday, but deputies believe Finch is now somewhere in or near Ozark County, which is Gainesville, Missouri.
Finch was spotted Thursday just before noon at a gas station in Hardenville.
Authorities say everyone should lock-up their cars and houses because they believe he will try to steal a get-away car, or break in somewhere.
His wife's family says he should be considered dangerous.
"He's been on the run this long, he's going to have to have food, clothing. It's getting cold so I would say everybody needs to lock their cars, lock where they live, even if they just go outside for a little while. Make sure you lock it when you leave out," said the victim's mother Joanna Gasperson.
"Robert was upset because she (Dolores Finch) wouldn't respond to him and refused to talk to him. She was taking herself away from the situation which we were very proud of her for-- but he would not accept that," sister Alicia Hicks said.
If you see Robert Finch, or know where he is, you are asked to call the Ozark County Sheriff's office in Gainesville at 417-679-4633.
You are asked not to approach him.

Inner Awareness
Why astral projection happens
Part I
The following are my answers to questions about astral projection asked by De La Salle University student Krysta Mae Alcala for her school newspaper "Plaridel."
Q: What is astral projection? What are the scientific and spiritual explanations for this ability?
A: Astral projection or Out-of-Body Experience (OOBE) is not an "ability" or "talent." It is a natural phenomenon or occurrence. It happens to almost anybody, but he or she may not be aware of it.
Orthodox science does not have any explanation for this because scientists do not even believe there is such a thing. There is no acceptable scientific proof for its existence.
However, from the point of esoteric science, spirituality and parapsychology, astral projection is a fact. I myself have experienced this many times. But how do we explain the astral body?
Our human constitution is consists of several bodies of energy. The astral body is only one of them which is nearest in vibration to the physical body. Usually, the astral body detaches itself during sleep, but sometimes it can also happen while one is fully awake and conscious. The astral body is connected to our physical body through an astral cord or silver cord, which can stretch as far as outer space. There are many reasons the astral body leaves the physical body, such as to give the physical body needed rest, to gain information about the spirit world, to know the future, to meet other astral beings, to heal the sick.
Q: What are the signs that one is undergoing astral projection?
A: This differs from one person to another. To most people, it may appear like they are just dreaming. But when one wakes up during astral projection, he or she may see the physical body lying asleep on the bed while the astral body is on the air near the ceiling. This makes people afraid. But there is no reason to fear. The more a person panics, the more difficult it is to come back. But if one keeps calm, he or she will easily and naturally get back to the physical body.
The astral body is called the "desire body" because it goes where the person subconsciously wants to go.
The signs that one is going into astral projection are as follows: He may hear a soft popping sound as the astral body detaches itself from the physical body. Then he may feel the astral wind. His perspective changes, he becomes aware that he is out of the body. If he opens his astral eyes, he sees his physical body asleep on the bed.
Q: Is this a natural phenomenon or is it inherited? If natural, is there a way to develop this ability?
A: It is a natural phenomenon and not inherited as indicated earlier. However, I've met families where several members can go into astral projection at will. Usually, it happens spontaneously without the person consciously doing it.
Yes, there are ways of developing one's ability to go into astral projection consciously. I teach this in my "Advanced ESP and Higher Consciousness Seminar" which I conduct only twice a year. It is a five-evening program and one has to take the Basic ESP course before being admitted into the Advanced course.
Q: What are the good and bad effects of going out of one's body and traveling in the astral realm?
A: If the astral projection happens naturally, say during sleep, there is usually no bad effect or danger to this because it is a natural phenomenon.
However, if one induces it but is not fully prepared for it, then he may encounter some negative or lower astral beings. He may also be thrown into a vortex called the "Phantasmagoric Plane" where highly negative entities may try to grab his astral body and do not let him get away. It is like going into a "black hole" where he or she cannot escape. This is one explanation for the phenomenon called bangungot, and it is not really due to pancreatitis as doctors believe it to be. Bangungot is sometimes called "fatal nightmare." One does not wake up anymore. But this is very rare. Generally, astral projection is safe and harmless.
One should not attempt astral projection in a place that is haunted or where there are lower negative entities, because there is also the danger of spirit possession while one's astral body is out. Another entity may take over one's physical body. But if astral projection happens naturally in a positive environment, there is no danger.

hg, now you can swear AS a sailor, not just like one. Anyone can use the FCC's "seven dirty words" but there's a true art to swearing without redundancy, or those seven words.
Seasickness is something that some of us are cursed with and from personal experience I would urge you to be open about it, and to take a good look at your options while on land. That is, get several diffferent meds and try them out, one per weekend, while you are in the comfort of home ashore. You'll find some disagree with you, others don't, how effective they are at sea is of course something else again. The electric wristband can be very effective if it is positioned exactly right. And the prescription meds (like Scopace) are serious meds not to be taken lightly--but also invaluable when lesser things don't work.
If it is done properly or done well, a day in a boat should be a good day. If you find yourself wet, cold, hungry, bored...speak up and change things, sailing SHOULD be better than that! Warm dry clothes, good meals, all these things count.

ANAHEIM – And now they take this thing outside.
If Saturday's Dodger Stadium dog/pony show features hockey that spills over into a back alley, the Ducks proved Thursday that they can handle that, too.
This 2-1 victory sprang from the glove and blocker of Frederik Andersen, but it also was built by the Ducks who play sweatbox hockey – Tim Jackman stirring up things in the crease, Mark Fistric standing up for his mates and finding the scoresheet as well, and Patrick Maroon, swooping in for the winning wraparound goal on Jonathan Quick.
It also followed a first period that the Kings utterly dominated. Even at the end the Ducks were outshot, 31-21, but they muffled every L.A. rally at the end and now lead the Kings by 17 points in the Pacific Division.
"We still have to go through them to win the Stanley Cup," Ben Lovejoy said. "Tonight was not a great night for the Ducks in the first period, but I think we've shown all year that we can turn it on."
Defenseman Fistric got the assist on Maroon's goal and traded paint with the Kings' forwards all night. When Trevor Lewis laid out Bryan Allen near the Ducks bench in the third period, Fistric didn't worry about time and score. He took on Lewis and drew a penalty that the Ducks killed off.
"That kind of thing can't go unrecognized," Fistric said, "when someone does that to your defense partner. And, at the end, we did a good job of staying patient, staying in position and giving them nothing."
Fistric was credited with eight of Anaheim's 48 hits, twice as many as the Kings had.
The Kings were 6-1-1 against the Ducks since Darryl Sutter became their coach, including a 3-2 shootout victory Dec. 2 that had the Ducks in retreat mode. It reinforced the feeling that the Kings, no matter how they slogged through the rest of the schedule, could push the "on" button anytime they saw the Ducks.
Nothing changed that vibe in the first period Thursday, including the turnovers and the passive defense that allowed Anze Kopitar to jam in the first goal of the game.
The Kings were at their worker-bee best in that first period, getting all five guys deep on defense, blocking six shots, and chuckling over Anaheim's attempts to establish a power play.
"We know it's going to be a tough, physical battle against these guys," said Hampus Lindholm, the rookie defenseman, on Thursday morning. "You have to do things really quickly against them, do everything a little quicker and harder."
Still, Lindholm and partner Francois Beauchemin were on the ice for that Kopitar goal, and only some rescue work by Andersen kept the Ducks close.
The shot differential rose to 16-4 in favor of L.A. during the second period, and the Ducks seemed to be on an incline machine when trying to get the puck out of their own territory.
But then came a disallowed goal, when Jackman was ruled to have bumped Quick. Ryan Getzlaf, in particular, argued with that call, but negative energy is better than none at all, and the Ducks began digging themselves back into it.

A Fully Struck, Pleasing Specimen
The antique-gold surfaces on this near-Gem proof show essentially no signs of contact. Apparently it is several very shallow planchet depressions on each side, seen as slightly darker areas and completely undistracting, that preclude an even higher grade. A tiny planchet indent at the obverse rim, just right of the date, is as made. This fully struck specimen should generate considerable bidder enthusiasm. Census: 21 in 64, 39 finer (1/11).

This pizza was so good I ordered from them twice in one week! My whole family thought it was delicious. It was perfectly seasoned and just the right amount of sauce.
Make a better one than this. It's been there forever. Nice owners. But really, pizza has 3 places to score or mess up: dough, sauce, cheese. They hit the triple in being bad with each. Other food not much better. Nooooo
Got a pie of pizza at Romeos. The pizza was bleh but being at the shore I didn't expect much. Place is filthy and the menu covers everything from pizza to seafood (all frozen I assume). Would not got back unless I was desperate.
And no Thank you when leaving!
Even though it's not on the boardwalk, it's just a short distance away, and worth the walk. Their food is always delicious and there's a nice variety - everyone will find something they like there.

Reefing and Heaving to.
Just got in from a really good day of sailing. I finally got around to setting up a simple reefing system on my Catalina 22 and while I was out there, I practiced heaving to. So, I figured I would post my observations along with a few questions.
First off, call me stubborn, hardheaded or a non-believer....I have to learn things the hard way. I would have never believed how well reefing works unless I witnessed it with my own two eyes. I know that sounds crazy but follow me on this one. Being that the Catalina 22 is such a light boat, I had resolved to myself that she was too light for anything higher than a calm day out on the ocean. Every time the wind picked up past 10-15mph she became a handful. Now me being as stubborn as I am, I had settled on the idea of "that's just the way it is...". Well, today we had a nice 15-25mph steady wind with higher gusts and I decided to do what EVERYONE told me to do...I simply took two 2' long piece's of line, ran them through the reefing eye's at the "new" foot and clew, lashed the sail down tight to the boom (after loosening the main halyard a bit), ran the bitter ends through the gooesneck and the other end of the boom and guess what.........the sail was reefed and the boat magically became docile and balanced. It was like the wind fell off to 5-10mph.....go figure..
I now have it set up so i can reef in about 3 minutes. I will never hesitate to reef again.
Next up was the act of heaving to. In the same conditions, while on a starboard tack, close hauled, I tacked, left the jib sheet alone and as soon as the bow came through the wind, the jib back-winded. She stalled, i pushed the tiller to leeward and guess what.....the 4-5' waves almost dissipated. There was a really neat looking turbulent slick coming off the beam to windward and she slowed to .5-1 knot...I sat down in amazement and had lunch. The boat became so calm I may have been able to stack marbles. Well not really but it was a huge difference. I can think of a million and one uses for this. I went from beating 5.8 knots into 4-5 foot waves with white caps, spray flying over the bow to drifting peacefully and mostly level in about 20 seconds. I have to take the girl out with me to show her this magic....
Anyways, enough about magic. To anyone learning to sail- This stuff really works and it would behoove you to learn it now. Don't wait until you need it but can't do it like me. I am a glutton for punishment. Practice reefing and heaving to when the conditions are manageable. You will thank yourself for it. Its better than the first time you saw color TV.
Now my questions;
While hove to, she kept slowly outrunning her slick. It was barely noticeable but the majority of the slick seemed to be amidships and aft. Forward motion was unnoticeable to the eye but not to the GPS. Is this normal? Is it the result of the shallow hull design of the C-22? I tried playing with the jib sheet and main sheet, easing tension here, tightening it there, but the result was the same.
When reefing, my boom seemed to lift higher than the goose-neck. Tightening the mainsheet had no effect. Sail shape remained pretty good. Is this normal? What effect did it have? I tightened the luff until it was as straight as it would go and the boat seemed to be fine. I have nothing to compare it to so that is why I am asking.

Gear Review
One of the best skis ever
Set-up: tele (BD 01 + BD Push) + 181 coombas. Yes, they are heavy. Yes, they aren't the ideal touring ski. But, I've toured 50+ days on these things and they ski so well that I would tour with them even if they were heavier. They simply make skiing easier and more fun, particularly in marginal cruddy conditions. If you are a super-tight turner (eastern tree skier) go extra short, because they tend to like long-radius turns. Also, they are way longer than marked...my 181s are a good 8cm longer than my 178 Rossignol Sick Birds.
