What is snowskating?... it's skateboarding on snow. That's just the most basic explanation out there, but of course there a some more variables.... There is the technical side of snowskating that resembles the street style way of skateboarding with its flips and ollies. At the other end of the spectrum there is the surf-like snowskating style like longboards on snow, where you find your way through deep pow in a flow way of riding. The first snowboard was called the Snurfer which was invented around 1964. It consisted of some sort of small surfboard and a rope in front of the board to hold on too. There were no bindings present, so you could say the first snowboard was actually a snowskate.

A popular and versatile way of holding the racket, characterized by the wrist lying directly over the top of the grip and the palm facing down and the index finger and thumb forming a V around the left side of the racket handle.

OBS

Continental Grip. Also known as the "hammer" grip, because you hold the racquet as if you are going to hammer a nail with the side of the frame, the Continental is the one grip that can be used for every shot. But its primary uses are for serves, volleys, overheads, slices, and defensive shots.

OBS

Used as a compromise between the eastern forehand and eastern backhand grips by some players to eliminate the necessity of shifting their hand on the racket. Sometimes the term "service grip" is erroneously used as a synonym because it is the grip most commonly used in serving; however this is a misnomer since today there are many different types of service grips in use.

Système de remontée par câble où le skieur se laisse tracter par une perche rigide dont l'extrémité se termine par une soucoupe qu'il se glisse entre les jambes afin de pouvoir s'y appuyer, mais sans s'y asseoir, pour être tiré jusqu'au sommet.

OBS

Pluriel : des remonte-pentes.

OBS

remonte-pentes (pl.) : Cette graphie, puisée des Rectifications de l'orthographe recommandées par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française, est attestée dans le Petit Robert (2006).

OBS

Le générique «remontée mécanique» englobe les funiculaires, les téléphériques, les télécabines, les télésièges et tous les téléskis de type câble ou tire-fesses. Parmi les tire-fesses, on compte : 1. l'arbalète, téléski à archets ou «remonte-pente en T» qui tracte deux skieurs, chacun des côtés de la barre (ou archet double) les tirant sous les fesses; 2. le téléski à perches ou «remonte-pente en J» dont l'extrémité en forme de J tracte un skieur sous les fesses; 3. le téléski à soucoupes ou «remonte-pente à soucoupe(s)» que le skieur glisse entre ses deux jambes. Dans tous les cas, le skieur se laisse tracter, sans s'y asseoir. À l'origine, les génériques «téléski» et «remonte-pente» désignaient le type de remontée que l'on appelle maintenant «tire-fesses»; ce terme également devenu générique, il y a lieu d'utiliser les termes précis pour rendre les spécifiques correspondant à «T-bar», «J-bar» et «poma lift» ou «button lift».

OBS

Ce type de téléski a déja été considéré comme «débrayable»; ce dernier adjectif désigne maintenant le système qui permet à une télécabine ou un télésiège de ralentir sa course à l'embarquement et au débarquement sur un câble d'appoint au débit ralenti. Dans le cas du poma, la perche ne débraie pas mais se détache du câble de traction pour s'aligner sur une suspension d'évitement; elle se réenclenche au câble tracteur sous l'effet du poids du skieur.

Gaskets for Glazing. Structural gaskets, made of preformed and cured elastomeric materials, may be used instead of sash for some applications to hold glass in places. Gaskets are extruded in a single strip, molded into the shape of the window perimeter and installed against the glass and window frames. A continuous locking strip of harder elastomer is then forced into one side of the gasket as a final sealing component. Fit and compression of the gasket determine weathertightness. With proper installation, calking is not ordinarily required; but should it be necessary, sealants are available that are compatible with the material of which the gasket is made.

Choosing an external breast prosthesis after a mastectomy is one option for women who either elect to wait to have breast reconstruction or who choose not to have the additional surgery. An external breast prosthesis is an artificial breast form that can be worn after a mastectomy to help balance the body and anchor the bra on the side of the mastectomy from riding up, which helps prevent back and neck pain and a sagging shoulder. Breast prostheses are custom-made for most women and are made from several different types of material(such as silicone gel, foam, and fiberfill) that feel similar to natural breast tissue and are usually weighted so they feel the same as the remaining breast. Some prostheses adhere directly to the chest area and others fit into pockets of postmastectomy bras, which are fitted with pockets on the inside to hold the device in place.

CONT

The most popular type of milking parlour, worldwide, is the herring-bone parlour. This is on account of its versatility and economical cost of construction... As with the tandem side-gate parlour it also requires the use of an operator pit, but the cows enter in batches and stand at an angle of 30° or 35° to the pit. No side passages are necessary. Cows are normally milked from the side, but in some cases, from between the back legs. Since cows are handled in batches, a slow milker can hold up her batch. It is therefore not advisable for batches to exceed 12 cows. However, in a double-sided milking parlour 12 cows per side, with 12 milking units per side(24/24 parlour), about 308 cows can be milked in two hours.

The radiant cut is a beautiful combination of the classic emerald cut and the sparkle of the round brilliant. The radiant cut is similar to the princess cut but is usually(though not always) a more rectangular outline and has blocked corners like those of an emerald cut.

There are three ways to tell whether gaffs are sharpened properly. Step 1 : Three ways to maintain climbers : 1. 1. Gauging. This method checks the gaff's length, width, and thickness and the profile of its point.... 1. 2. Plane test. This method may be used with the gauge or independently if the gaffs are sharpened by machine. The test is made by using a soft board to tell whether proper sharpness has been reached. Place the climber with the gaff side down and parallel to the board without applying downward pressure above the gaff. Push the climber along the board. If the gaff is properly contoured and sharpened, it will dig into the wood and hold within approximately one inch. If the climber continues to glide along the board for more than one inch, it needs more honing. 1. 3. Pole cutout. After the climbers have been machine sharpened or gauged(and as often as required thereafter), the gaffs may be tested on a pole.

Reels usually hold 500 ft of cable and, therefore, the maximum haul distance should be kept under 400 ft whenever possible. Cable-reel cars are either standard-hand or opposite-standard-hand models. Standard-hand control means that the seats for the operator, together with the controls, are located on the left front or discharge end of the car similar to the operator's position in an American car or truck. An opposite-hand-control car would have the operator sitting on the right-hand side of the car facing forward when traveling to the discharge point.
