Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS

Au snooker ou au billard anglais, le côté sur lequel est placé le triangle retenant les billes dans un cas, et la bille rouge, dans l'autre, est considéré comme le haut de la table tandis qu'au snooker ou au billard à blouses américain, ce côté est considéré comme le bas de la table; on parle donc de la "mouche principale" sur une table anglaise et de la "mouche du bas" ou "mouche principale" sur une table américaine. Autre particularité : au snooker anglais, la bille rose est placée sur la mouche principale et les 15 billes rouges dans le triangle, rangées au-dessous (par rapport au centre de la table); au snooker américain, c'est la bille au sommet du triangle qui est placée sur la mouche principale ou mouche du bas et la bille rose se retrouve au-dessus de la mouche (par rapport au centre de la table). Au billard sans blouse, on place la bille rouge sur la "mouche principale" (pyramid spot) dans le haut d'une table anglaise ou sur la "mouche principale" ou "mouche du bas" (foot spot) dans le bas d'une table américaine.  2, record 1, French, - mouche%20principale

The range of manoeuvre is very wide. Perhaps the most basic is the "kick turn". This enables a rider to do a 90 degree turn on the spot. It can be done on either a stationary or a moving board. The back foot should be right at the tail of the board with the front foot about half way along. The weight of the body is transferred entirely to the rear foot and as the board rises the body is turned through 90 degrees in the desired direction.  1, record 4, English, - kick%20turn

Ski jump. A skier changes positions several times during a jump. The jumper enters a crouched(or tuck) position down an inrun, springs outward and upward upon takeoff, leans forward throughout flight to maintain lift, bends the hips and knees and places one foot in front of the other into a telemark position for landing, and then straightens up and slows down throughout the outrun. The range of possible landing positions is marked by three points(norm, table, and K, or critical) on the landing hill. The norm point and the table point indicate the beginning and ending, respectively, of the normal landing area, while the K-point marks the last safe landing spot on that hill.  1, record 5, English, - norm%20point

An arrangement of wood that is standing end on and is built like a pyramid or cone. The centre is fired, and as the core burns away the outside logs fall inwards, constantly feeding the heart of the fire. This type of fire gives good radiation and even with wet wood burns well.  3, record 7, English, - wigwam%20fire

Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Every novice knows the wigwam fire--indeed if a child who has never made a fire were told to build one, he would surely turn up with a wigwam, for it is the natural arrangement. But nevertheless, it is not without importance in the craft, for it is the core of every fire lay no matter how elaborate. Viewed in its own right and aside from its contribution as the starting torch of other lays, it has few qualifications as a cooking fire if one intends to do more than stew a pot of tea, because its heat is all thrown to the center of the pyramid and offers no spread for the utensils, and its coals all drop to one small spot in the center. It is good for light, however, and is prized in the evening. First the coil of birch-bark, or the chip of fat pine, or the handful of tiny twigs broken into a pyramid, or the fuzz-stick; then a few softwood sticks from the size of a pencil up to that of your little finger, stacked around it in wigwam fashion, and lastly the hardwood sticks of finger and thumb size. Remember to keep it tall and slender. And keep it small--a foot high and a foot wide at the base.  4, record 7, English, - wigwam%20fire

Feu en cône. Cette méthode est excellente pour obtenir rapidement des braises ou pour faire un petit feu de camp. Un feu en cône a l'inconvénient de faire les étincelles. Il demande donc de l'attention dans sa conduite et une surveillance constante. Pour le construire, il suffit de disposer en cône serré, autour d'un petit cône initial de brindilles et d'allume feu, des rondins de diamètre et de longueur progressivement croissants. Ménagez du côté au vent un petit couloir pour pouvoir introduire l'amadou enflammé.  1, record 7, French, - feu%20en%20c%C3%B4ne

Feu en wigmam : C'est la structure classique des feux de camp.

On place ensuite des bâtons légèrement plus gros autour du centre, sans les attacher, en réservant un espace du côté du vent pour permettre à l'air--le vent ou votre souffle--d'entrer.
