Fresh powder snow soon becomes "skied out", or "tracked out". This is sometimes known as "crud"(although this term is also used for breakable crust)... The problem is that the fresh snow is now packed down in some areas, and piled up in others. So the amount of resistance that your skis encounter is always changing. You need to constantly look ahead and anticipate this. When you’re about to go through a deep pile, push your feet forward slightly. For the firmer sections, stand more in the middle of the ski. Rather than persisting with the short, bouncy turns of true powder, you will be better served in crud by longer, rounder, carved arcs. 2, record 2, English, - crud

Bucketeers virtually bet against a customer, without his consent, that a given stock will go up or down. If the customer buys, the broker sells an equal amount of the same stock(short) against him; if he sells, the bucketeer purchases an equivalent amount of the same stock. Orders are executed theoretically and not legitimately, i. e. they are "bucketed". Should its customers win too often, the bucket shop closes overnight and moves elsewhere. 4, record 3, English, - bucketeer

The Canadian Grand Prix is usually a race of attrition where it is rare to see half of the grid finishing the race so a strong car is vital... "Montreal is a great place to go as everyone enjoys the circuit there and the city itself... This is a strange place, "said Irvine; "Being neither a street circuit nor a permanent race track. With some fast sections, short corners and a hairpin it can be very tough on the car, especially brakes. The surface is usually very dirty on the first day of practice and gets better as more rubber goes down. " 1, record 4, English, - permanent%20race%20track

In going from a potentially hazardous condition to the final safe state the EUC may have to go through a number of intermediate safe-states. For some situations a safe state exists only so long as the EUC is continuously controlled. Such continuous control may be for a short or an indefinite period of use. 1, record 5, English, - EUC%20safe%2Dstate

Video produced in 1994 by Sneyd Syndicate Inc., Orillia, Ontario. This touching drama describes how a little boy is affected by witnessing his father beating his mother. Seven-year-old Jonathan is having trouble at school. He has a quick temper, a short attention span and he is reluctant to tell anyone what's troubling him. A black-eyed Susan in a bouquet of flowers reminds him of his mother's black eye and his father's violence, so Jonathan refuses to go home. When his mother comes to pick him up, the abuse is revealed, and Jonathan's family gets the help they need. The aim of this film is to show children in similar situations that there are things they can do to help themselves. 1, record 6, English, - Black%2DEyed%20Susan
