[edit] Shred Snowboarding

This crew of flshy dudes straight out of Mequon, Wisonsin is tearing up the local slopes as well as their own backyard park. This project will not be over until the las flake of snow is off the ground. Sponsered by TOMATT films, a local production company, these boys have starting making mini videos of the shredding as well as production diaries talking about updates within the park itself. Their temporary site is at shredsnowboardpark.tripod.com and all of their information can be found out there. These boys expect to have their final hour video out sometime in March. So check out the Shred Crew and all of their sick features.

[edit] skirmish line

A skirmish line is a miltary formation, usually used in a lesser fight in a larger battle. Most usually it comprises infantry, dismounted cavalry, or tanks and fighting vehicles. Skirmish lines may be offensive or defensive, but are rarely fixed or static. The skirmish line moves, except for brief pauses. It has no defined size. That depends on an army's nationality, organization, doctrine, weather, terrain, and situation. But the skirmish line is normally, relatively small -- due to reasons of control.

The skirmish line is a horizontal formation, extending from left to right. Its advantage is that all its soldiers may bring maximum fire power on an enemy across a broad front. Its disadvantage is that the formation is difficult to control when it extends hundreds of meters -- especially on broken terrain or during periods of limited visibility and adverse weather. The column formation (one soldier behind the other) is easier to control during movement, but only the few, foremost soldiers can engage the enemy.

Consequently, employing this formation (going from a column to a line/skirmish line formation) ideally should wait until contact with the enemy is imminent.

Thanks. I suggest adding the material (obviously with sources) to the existing Skirmisher article. I've created Skirmish line as a redirect pointing to it. Tearlach 04:36, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "I'm Everything"

This is a theme song from Dale Oliver in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. There are three reported versions of it: the original version, a slowed down version (currently being used by Apolo) and an instrumental version. It has been used by virtually EVERY Hispanic wrestler to ever wrestle in TNA. It was first used by Marcus Bagwell (who, oddly enough, isn't Hispanic). It has also been used by Konnan, Mexico's Most Wanted, the Spanish Announce Team, and Team Mexico. It is widely considered to be one of Dale Oliver's best theme songs for TNA Wrestling, but is also considered to be a rip-off of Carlos Santana's song entitled "Smooth". The full version, which is extremely difficult to find, is extremely lengthy for Dale Oliver as it's thought to be around the four minute mark. Most of Oliver's songs aren't much more than a minute, except for the ones on NWA: TNA The Music, Volumes 1 and 2. The shortest song that Oliver has composed was the late Chris Candido's TNA theme which was said to be a rip-off of one of Oliver's own songs called "Born And Raised" (yet another rip-off, this time of Bruce Springsteen's "Born In The USA", meaning that Candido's theme was a rip-off of a rip-off.) and was only 39 seconds long. Another one of Oliver's shortest song is Roderick Strong's current theme which can be found at TNAWRESTLING.com and is only 42 seconds long. The current version (which is cut short at 1:21) can be found at TNAWRESTLING.com. The original version (which is also cut short at 1:21) can be found at www.tnarevolution.com. Please do this article justice because this is a great song and if you know a place where it can be downloaded (not KAZAA or anything like that) it would be great.

  • I added this information to the Dale Oliver article. --Dystopos 21:38, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Luff

Luff is all-woman trio from Brooklyn, New York, started in 2002 by Sheila Sobolewski, Luff's guitarist and main songwriter. Drummer Liz Bustamante (formerly of Spouse and Addicted2fiction) and bassist Tara Smith (of Capitol T) create the solid foundation for this trio. Luff's music is melodic and textural; at times sparse and at times driving. Sobolewski's unpretentious vocals and minimal lyrics compliment their music's often dreamy feel.

[edit] Copparo

Copparo is a small town of Emilia Romagna, Italy,in the Province of Ferrara, located 50 kilometers northeast of the regional capital of Bologna and 17 kilometers east of the provincial capital of Ferrara, Copparo sits in the fertile Po River Delta (10 kilometers south of the river and 35 kilometers from the Adriatic coast).

The origins of Copparo date back to the early Middle Ages and are confirmed both by a formation prior to the year 1000 and by its belonging to the Church of Ferrara and Ravenna (955) under the name "Massa in Copario".

From many historical documents it appears that Copparo was a rather large agricultural center within the territory of Ferrara. The 1431 census mentions it as the largest area sown with barley and wheat. Copparo was likewise mentioned in the Statuta Ferrariae dated 1287 under the name of "Coparius" (recalling the responsibility the citizens of Copparo had in digging the"de preta" channel). After the year 1251, the area fell under the title of the Dukes of Ferrara, the Estensi family. They used the area primarily for recreational purposes, developing one of their principle game preserves and hunting lodges, a turreted castle. It was destroyed during the war against Venice and rebuilt in 1540. It then became one of the most famous Estense Delights. Of the original structure and its five towers only a solitary one remains today, on the site of the current city hall.

The most important factory in the area is Berco Spa, a manufacturer of considerable size specialised in the production of tracked vehicle components,equipment for overhauling the undercarriages of earth moving machinery and manufacture of machine tools for the reconditioning of internal combustion engines. The Copparo plant,the headquarter, stands on a site of about five hundred thousand square meters and has about 2200 employees.

[edit] Mireya Batres

She was president of Honduras's bride, [Ricardo Maduro]. She was the trigger of scandal when the actual wife of the president, Aguas Ocaña, knows that Mireya Batres said him "Hola Presi" or "hi Presi". Mireya Batres was minister of culture in Honduras, but the scandal push her to abandon the ministery. [Honduras] is the classical country [Banana Republic], coined by [O. Henry]. Honduras is one of the poorest countries in whole the world, with the 80% of population down the line of poverty. Corruption is the big problem in the country. 80,000 honduran emigrate yearly, mainly to [USA]. The unemployment is a great social problem. AIDS is another big problem, because 1% of population (aprox.) is possitive. [Gangs] (maras) are a recent problem, but big one, because of the increase of violence in the country. The gangs are the product of the migration to USA and the social problems in Honduras.

  • The scandal is covered adequately at Aguas Santas Ocaña Navarro. I'll create a redirect which you can edit if you have more biographical information about this one-time minister of culture. --Dystopos 22:20, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
