Fitzgibbons’ Domination Continues at Subaru Pro TSB Bank Women’s Surf Festival
TARANAKI, New Plymouth/New Zealand (Friday, April 28, 2011) – ASP World No. 2 Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS) continued to push the envelope and revealing the depth of her surfing talent by smashing the scoreboard with near perfect scores to charge into the quarterfinals of the ASP Subaru Pro TSB Bank Women’s Surf Festival in New Zealand on Friday April 29, 2011.
Clean half-meter waves at Back Beach, Taranaki saw rounds two and three completed and the eight Quarterfinalists decided.
By far the event’s top performer, Fitzgibbons’ confidence was palpable as she unleashed yet another flawless performance to post 9.75 and 9.25 scores (out of ten) for a combined heat total of 19.00 (out of 20.00), defeating Chelsea Hedges (AUS) and Melanie Bartels (HAW) .
“I guess I just have a lot of confidence right now, I feel like my surfing was improving especially at the start of the year and I really wanted to bring that to my events and try to showcase some of the things I’ve been working on,” Fitzgibbons said. “It’s almost like feedback getting good scores, it means I’m on the right track.”
While high scores and standout performances are not uncharacteristic from Fitzgibbons, it remains to be seen whether her victory at Bells has changed the playing field for the Aussie talent who will be determined to take the podium’s top spot at the weekend’s final.
“Of course it is difficult to keep that momentum going but I think it’s all about trying to pick the eyes out of what you’ve got on the day. These waves are similar to what I surf at home and I’m just trying to surf nice and fast bring something new to the table and get in that excellent scoring range, it’s definitely tricky.”
ASP World Title No. 7 Courtney Conlogue (USA) completed a dream performance during round 3, taking down ASP ratings leader and defending Subaru Pro Champion Carissa Moore (HAW) in dramatic fashion.
“Carissa has been on game this whole year, she’s been performing really well so it was good to get one up on her today,” Conlogue said. “I lost against her in the Quarterfinals at Bells and she ended up getting into the finals so it feels pretty good to know I don’t have to surf again in Round 4.”
Conlogue unleashed her powerful, vertical surfing, sticking to her ‘Carissa Moore game plan’ by opening with an excellent 8.25 and sealing the deal with an 8.75 (both out of ten) to advance into the quarterfinals.
“Anytime you have a heat against Carissa you know you need to get above sevens to win and, even then, you might need nines. This year is really a learning year for me, it would be nice to be top five and it’s a definitely a goal of mine so I’m trying as hard as I can get there.”
Coco Ho (HAW) proved another of the day’s giant killers, joining local favourite Paige Hareb in taking down four times ASP World Champion Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) who placed third.
“It was kinda just one of those heats where you have nothing to lose, that‘s how I always look at it with Steph,” Ho said. “I’ve had all Quarterfinals so far this year so I’m really looking to get past that round and hopefully get a good result.”
ASP World Tour rookie Tyler Wright bounced back from a slow start yesterday, keeping busy in her Round 3 exchange by building on her scores before locking in a 7.25 followed by a 7.75 (both out of 10) to snatch the win off Silvana Lima (BRA) and Rebecca Woods (AUS).
“I kind of sussed it out this morning and that helped a lot through that heat,” Wright said. “I think the main thing for me was to keep busy and just try and build on my scores and that’s what I did.”
The current ASP World No. 3 is a recognized threat on this year’s ASP Women’s World Title Tour and has her target firmly fixed on the current front runners.
“It’s pretty cool to get through that one but Sal and Carissa are still ripping and they’re probably the benchmark at the moment. Sal is surfing unbelievably well and I’m still trying to get there but I’m just going to keep working at it and make sure I have fun along the way.”

Yes It's well and truly here, the golden season of Autumn, these leaves were captured on a wall in Pontefract, West Yorkshire UK.
It's a 3 exp handheld hdr with one stop bracketing.
Looks like my new Sigma 50/1.4 has no focus issues. And this lens has an fantastic sharpness even so wide open.
FAS ( fusil d'assaut sous-marine = submarine [aquatic] assault rifle)
Type: aquatic assault rifle
Cartridge: from 7,62x51 special underwater round
Fire Rate: 200 rpm
Effective range: about 120 meters above water and at depth 5 m, 40 m at depth 20 m, 22 m at depth 40 m
Maximum range: -
Capacity: 20
Energy given to bullet in percentage of enegy given by the powder: 90% (*1)
Initial speed: 350m/s underwater
Weight: 4kg
Operation: recoil
Barrel lenght: 40mm + 25mm for the coil
(2*)ARET 2.0 devices used: metamaterials around the barrel and around the muzzle ( for audible, infrasonic and ultrasonic wave-lengths), plus Pelletier devices with heat exchanger around the barrel and MHD generator in the brarel.
----------
(*1) In fact, in modern firearms, only 32% of the potential energy given by the propellant is used for the bullet motion. Most of the energy is wasted in hot gases/noises (34%), in barrel heat ( about 30%), in barrel friction (about 2%) or is simply not used (about 1% of the energy is even not released because a small part of the powder didn't go off).
(*2)So what can we do? A longer barrel means that hot gases are going to give more energy to the bullet. We can also use metamaterials wich deflect waves (here shock waves) and give there energy to the next round fired. We can also use Pelletier systems to convert the heat in electricity and then give it to the next bullet fired. This can work only if efficient energy conductor are use. Wich means that the weapon will be heavier, will be expensive, will have a low rate of fire but will be more powerful, acurate and have a longer range, thermal and noise reduction (except if there are no metamaterials around the muzzle or/and if the bullet is supersonic).
But in the ARET 2.0 weapon set, the barrel is replaced by a MHD generator wich converts the motion of the hot gases in electricity which is sent to a a bench of capacitors. These devices will then send an important electric discharge to the coil wich will turn in a magnet and then atract the bullet at high speed. Here, there is no hot gases existing the muzzle. The ARET 2.0 weapons are lighter, more compact and even more powerful than their ARET 1.0 equivalents.
This leads to the meanings of the weapon set name "ARET" which stands for Armes à Récupération de l'Energie des Tirs (shot's energy recovery weapons).
PURC 92: "PURC salon at a depth of 500 meters".
Last week the Public Underground Research Center
has dug under the cultural heart of the Netherlands
A small PURC excavator rocket has dug to a depth of 500 meters. The PURC salon is located on this depth.
19.10.12... we went on a tour of Liverpool on an amphibious vehicle which then drove straight into the Albert docks for a little cruise... these were the old depth markings.

In this photo I wanted to do the exact opposite of my last photo and capture the background which lays about a foot and a half under my camera. The flower of the succulent is blurred out.
The window being more clearer than the trees behind it, I thought this was an interesting photo from all the raindrops on the window sort of framing the picture together and making the trees blurry for a change.

I took this in the hallway in my apartment just now. My tripod wouldn't go low enough to get the angle I wanted, so I built a very carefully engineered stack of thin books.
My favorite bit is where the cracks in the floor flare out near the top.
And does anybody else think terminator when they see this...? Just askin...
the cups are small but deep, and I spent some time making them as smooth as I could. I have not filled the cups with paint because I have not decided yet exactly what colors I want. I am enjoying using half pans of watercolor in my "research" to choose the final array of colors for this tin.

An opportunity to play with the depth of field. Pin sharp just to the point where Mike is standing at the top of the stairs down to the bank of the Mersey, then the focus melts away. It wouldn't work if 60062 was any less of a blur, as it wouldn't without the pathway leading your eyes towards to the edge of the focus.
In days gone by this would have been a very different picture, there was at one time a clear line of sight into the MSC (or to give it it's full title, Walton Old Junction Manchester Ship Canal sidings), dense foliage is steadily, and probably permanently, taking over.
