Router Freedom: regaining sovereignty over your digital equipment
The right of choosing your own modem and router is a basic precondition for a neutral, safe and healthy digital environment. If you cannot control your router, it is not free and your digital freedom is likely to be compromised. For years, the FSFE has been successfully fighting for Router Freedom in Germany. Now the debate has reached the European level with Internet Service Providers imposing their specific routers to customers. The FSFE has prepared an activity package for people and organisations interested in advocating for their freedom of choice.

Radio Lockdown: Criticism of Controversial Directive Unlikely to Sway European Commission
Since 2014, a European Directive has the effect of hindering users to load software on their radio devices, devices such as mobile phones, laptops and routers.

Public Money, Public Code: Munich one step back - others two steps forward.
More than two years ago, Munich abandoned their strategy of developing an independent IT infrastructure built with Free Software and the free operating system GNU/Linux and went back to depending on proprietary software. We followed this process closely and like to give an update today about what has happened since then in Munich and in Europe in general. Did we manage to gain more independence and control over our IT or did dependencies on monopolies increase over the past two years?
Free Software in Munich - FSFE thanks cabaret artist Christine Prayon

How the Parliament of Asturias decided to sign the open letter demanding "Public Money? Public Code!" - an interview with Iyán Méndez Veiga
"The Parliament of Asturias commits itself to the international "Public Money, Public Code" campaign" - this is a quote from the first demand in a recent proposal brought by the Parliament of Asturias to its government. It is also the happy end of continuous lobbying efforts from Oviedo's local hackerspace "Pica Pica Hacklab", using the FSFE's campaign material mixed with their self-developed brand of social hacking. Meanwhile, the Parliament of Asturias backed up its words with deeds and officially signed the open letter of our "Public Money? Public Code!" campaign - being the very first Parliament to do so. To shed light on this successful story and inspire local groups around the world, we conducted an interview with Iyán Méndez Veiga, member of Pica Pica Hacklab.

Elements Of Style
Fashion Friday: Lingerie & Sleepwear Upgrade
I don't know about you, but as a lady whose been married going on 9 years, I typically sleep in an old college t-shirt and a pair of rather ratty pj pants. I admit it, I try very little when it comes to my sleepwear wardrobe. But you know what, there is something so luxurious and relaxing about treating yourself right and wearing proper pajamas. No need for uncomfortable see-through jobs with trap-doors and hinges and the like- but just straight up pretty things that make you feel nice. Why not? We deserve it. Here are some finds to help upgrade your nighttime duds-
Simple. black and with a hint of lace but not Pam Anderson-ish. Totally my bag.
Adorable short pajama sets. I want BOTH!
A cute print romper and tank/shorts set that probably feels like sleeping in nothing.
Zebra jammies. DUH. And a more feminine print floral slip nightie. So pretty.
Classic white nightgowns to match crisp white sheets is a total must-have. Either slightly sexy or country-girl chic.
Pair either of these adorable bottoms with an old white tee or tank and you are good to go!
I finally bought myself a nice robe in classic white. I love it. This black jersey one would be great for summer. And those times I spill coffee all down the front of me (which is everyday- thank goodness for bleach).
This short robe is so sweet for summer though!
And while we're talking about it, my whole lingerie situation is pretty sad too. I am all about the nude bras, because let's face it, they may be a little wah-wah looking but they don't show under anything! Here are some of my faves:
Classic, fuller coverage bras like these two.
A strapless bra that actually supports and a racerback perfect for tank tops in the summer.
I am a BIG fan of the bralette when I want something pretty. These three are fun, sexy and yet totally comfy!
For underwear you don't mess with the best- Hanky Panky and Commando. Both are the only brands I have in my messy as hell underwear drawer. And with mostly nude bras, you can pair them with any color underwear (I will never call them panties, because it's my least favorite word in the English language).
Or any cute print like stripes and leopard (my two faves!)

A vandal who gouged 13 vehicles at a Pittsburgh-area dealership decided to use a 2006 Focus as a chalkboard, scrawling the Latin phrase "Nemo me inpune lacessit" on its flank. The recession really hasn't been good for literature majors.
The phrase sketchily etched last week refers to the family coat of arms of the protagonist from Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado," and translates as "no one attacks me with impunity." Police have no leads, but on the bright side someone's getting a deal on a four-year-old Focus for Christmas.

Auxiliary system
We take a nice air conditioned car for granted on a hot day – until it stops working.Auxiliary belts and related components are used to drive many vehicle systems, such as the compressor in an air conditioning system or the alternator, being subjected to high loads.
They have to fit together perfectly and perform to OE requirements to get your car work properly in the long run. With SKF, you can make sure they will, since all auxiliary belts match the exact OE length - down to the millimeter - and all metal parts are OE quality.

alfredrocks brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 244 Designs von 37 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Looking for a sexy design for Angels Tea. We sell loose leaf teas in a tall cylindrical tin and are looking for a logo and label to go on the tea tin. The theme is- making health sexy. Have fun!
Looking for a sexy logo and design for our Angels Tea tea tins. We want the design to be simple, sexy, provocative, and classy. Think Victoria's Secret where girls will like the sexy feel and guys will think it is attractive. We want to see an angel with wings in the design/logo. One idea I'd like to play with is that the wings could be tea leaves.
We would like the logo itself to be able to stand alone for a website by adding .com to it or for any other additional products.
The more attractive and eye catching the better. This logo should really be able to create buzz about a new tea that is coming out. We want it to be really sexy and turn people on, but at the same time classy so that it could be a logo for a spa or aroma therapy brand.
Our taglines are "The Sexiest Tea on Earth" and "It's Sexy to be Healthy"
As far as the tea tin - it is a long (height wise) cylindrical tin approx 6 (height) x 2 3/4 (width)". We have the option of black, silver, and gold tins currently. The label should be able to be adjusted to work with any tin size as tea tins may come in other heights/shapes. We will either directly imprint on the tin or use a sticker that wraps around.
We don't have an exact idea in mind for the design because we want to see some creativity, so I'll apologize in advance if we're a bit all over the place on the initial design submissions. Once we see a few submissions, we will lock in on what works and what exactly we want so check the brief frequently for updates.
Here is what I would like printed on our tea tin description -
"Angels Tea believes it's sexy to be healthy and we aren't afraid to show it! Our heavenly teas are all natural and all unique blends. Our combination of ingredients are designed to stimulate the body, relax the mind, and wet your palette by providing the highest quality ingredients with the perfect blends.
Try our tea along with our tips and advice on AngelsTea.com and find yourself fit, healthy, and sexy!"
- For the logo:
- A Victoria's Secret feel - a sexy classy angel with wings
- Want to convey being healthy, fit, sexy, relaxing, soothing, in shape, enticing, attractive, and such.
- Images that you are allowed to use
- Appeal to 18-35 crowd, but not so raunchy that you would be afraid to leave it out on your kitchen counter if you had coworkers or older adults over.
- Must be able to have the text AngelsTea or AngelsTea.com yet also be able to stand alone without text so if people saw the image they would know it was Angels Tea
- For the label/packaging:
- Our name/Logo "Angels Tea" on the Tea Tin
- The name of the tea. Example- "Oolong Tea"
- One tagline
- An area for ingredients
- An area for our mission statement/about us (about 60 words)
- An area for a brief description of the tea
- Our company contact - address and website
- If the logo itself does not fit for the tin, you can add other designs/images, but prefer to have the tin be a very clean uncluttered feel.
- No blatant nudity or images in poor taste
- Do not want clutter or too much all over the place
- Do not want too many colors mixed together. Keep it simple with maybe pink theme or green to represent tea. Whites, grays, and possibly black are okay. Other colors are okay if needed, but preferably not very dominant. Does not mean that you have to have solid colors, gradient is okay, but just not too many colors all over the place.

Six seniors to be honored during pregame ceremonies
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 18, 2012) – The ETSU men's soccer team will witness six seniors play their final regular season game at Summers-Taylor Stadium on Friday, as the Buccaneers play their first all-time game against Northern Kentucky on Senior Day at 7 p.m.
Franck Doumbe (Silver Spring, Md.), David Haba (Germantown, Tenn.), Alesi Osorio (Austin, Texas), Colin Pugh (Dublin, Ireland), Matt Reed (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) and Theo Yang (Lilburn, Ga.) will be honored during pregame ceremonies as ETSU's senior class. Among the six, Haba and Reed have spent five years at ETSU – four on the field and one redshirting – while Yang and Osorio have played four years, Pugh three years, and Doumbe two.
ETSU (7-5-2, 3-1-0 A-Sun) will look to extend its unbeaten streak to five games, and tie the program mark for most consecutive games without a loss. The Bucs began the streak on Oct. 5, defeating North Florida, 4-0. Since then, ETSU is 3-0-1, with the draw coming against nationally ranked Wake Forest.
Junior David Geno (Kingsport, Tenn.) has been a big part of ETSU's recent success. The Dobyns-Bennett product entered the week tied for ninth in the nation with 10 goals scored. Geno also ranks tied for sixth in points with 25, and has set the new ETSU single-season marks in each department.
Behind Geno in goals is redshirt junior Luis Calzadilla (Caracas, Venezuela), who has scored four goals to go along with two assists. Pugh, Geno and Preseason All-Atlantic Sun selection Blaike Woodruff (Georgetown, Texas) share the team-lead in assists at five apiece.
ETSU's Last Outing
ETSU played just one game last weekend, handling Lipscomb, 3-0, in Nashville. Calzadilla put the Buccaneers on top very early, scoring just 24 seconds into the contest to register the fastest goal in program history. The one-goal lead held through halftime, until Geno sent in his 10th goal of the year to break his own single-season school record. Osorio finished the game off, driving in a hard shot with less than 15 minutes to play to give ETSU the three-goal victory.
Scouting the Norse
Northern Kentucky (5-7-1, 2-0-1 A-Sun) also enters Friday night on a four-game unbeaten streak. The Norse went 2-0 in league play last weekend with wins on the road against Jacksonville and North Florida. NKU's two previous results were a win over IPFW and a draw against last year's A-Sun Tournament champion Florida Gulf Coast.
NKU has scored 13 goals to average one per game, while giving up 19 for a GAA of 1.44. Leading the Norse attack is Kevin Walker with seven points off two goals and three assists. Nick Toney, Brendan Murphy, Mohammad Salhieh and Craig Heard also have two goals each. On the defensive side, NKU has split its goalkeeping among three different keepers, with A.J. Fleak earning the majority of minutes and coming in with nine starts.
Live stats will be available through Stat Broadcast on ETSUBucs.com. Free live streaming video will also be available on ASun.TV.
ETSU Notes
- Friday is Senior Day at Summers-Taylor Stadium. Seniors Franck Doumbe, David Haba, Alesi Osorio, Colin Pugh. Matt Reed and Theo Yang will be honored prior to the start of the game.
- David Geno enters the game ranked among the nation's top 10 in goals (10) and points (25).
- Geno, Pugh and Blaike Woodruff each have five assists this season, and will break the ETSU record with their next.
- ETSU is unbeaten in its last four games, and will tie the program record for most consecutive games without a loss with a win or draw against the Norse.

By the time severe weather hits, it's already too late. Disaster preparedness is about having an established safety plan. Whether it's preparedness for floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, or fires, the key to survival in disasters is planning. Use our preparedness section to stay informed, make a plan, and most importantly—remain safe in an emergency.
Prepare For A Tsunami
Tsunamis (pronounced soo-ná-mees), also known as seismic sea waves (mistakenly called "tidal waves"), are a series of enormous waves created by an underwater disturbance such as an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite. A tsunami can move hundreds of miles per hour in the open ocean and smash into land with waves as high as 100 feet or more.
From the area where the tsunami originates, waves travel outward in all directions. Once the wave approaches the shore, it builds in height. The topography of the coastline and the ocean floor will influence the size of the wave. There may be more than one wave and the succeeding one may be larger than the one before. That is why a small tsunami at one beach can be a giant wave a few miles away.
All tsunamis are potentially dangerous, even though they may not damage every coastline they strike. A tsunami can strike anywhere along most of the U.S. coastline. The most destructive tsunamis have occurred along the coasts of California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii.
Earthquake-induced movement of the ocean floor most often generates tsunamis. If a major earthquake or landslide occurs close to shore, the first wave in a series could reach the beach in a few minutes, even before a warning is issued. Areas are at greater risk if they are less than 25 feet above sea level and within a mile of the shoreline. Drowning is the most common cause of death associated with a tsunami. Tsunami waves and the receding water are very destructive to structures in the run-up zone. Other hazards include flooding, contamination of drinking water, and fires from gas lines or ruptured tanks.
Tsunami Preparedness Checklist
- Make a disaster supply kit and have a family plan.
- Talk to everyone in your household about what to do if a tsunami occurs. Create and practice an evacuation plan for your family. Familiarity may save your life. Be able to follow your escape route at night and during inclement weather. You should be able to reach your safe location on foot within 15 minutes. Practicing your plan makes the appropriate response more of a reaction, requiring less thinking during an actual emergency
- If the school evacuation plan requires you to pick your children up from school or from another location. Be aware telephone lines during a tsunami watch or warning may be overloaded and routes to and from schools may be jammed
- Knowing your community's warning systems and disaster plans, including evacuation routes
- Know the height of your street above sea level and the distance of your street from the coast or other high-risk waters. Evacuation orders may be based on these numbers
- If you are a tourist, familiarize yourself with local tsunami evacuation protocols. You may be able to safely evacuate to the third floor and higher in reinforced concrete hotel structures
- If an earthquake occurs and you are in a coastal area, turn on your radio to learn if there is a tsunami warning
During A Tsunami
- Follow the evacuation order issued by authorities and evacuate immediately. Take your animals with you
- Move inland to higher ground immediately. Pick areas 100 feet (30 meters) above sea level or go as far as 2 miles (3 kilometers) inland, away from the coastline. If you cannot get this high or far, go as high or far as you can. Every foot inland or upward may make a difference
- Stay away from the beach. Never go down to the beach to watch a tsunami come in. If you can see the wave you are too close to escape it. CAUTION - If there is noticeable recession in water away from the shoreline this is nature's tsunami warning and it should be heeded. You should move away immediately
- Save yourself - not your possessions
- Remember to help your neighbors who may require special assistance - infants, elderly people, and individuals with access or functional needs

Single Sienna Manhunter
A family torn asunder for an Italian holiday and a couple months of hot sex.
Well that was worth it, non?
Sienna Miller's string of bad decisions continues as she confirmed to Us Weekly that her controversial relationship with Balthazar Getty is over, telling the magazine that:
"I'm single at the moment, and I'm completely happy with that. It's nice not to have a relationship that the press constantly want to scrutinize and discuss. I'm cool with being on my own."
But what did it cost her?
Her reputation is in shambles, studio executives are wary of signing her, fearful of her propensity for f-cking up – marriages and movies – and she's managed to alienate many people in Hollywood who've sided with Rosetta Getty against her, shutting her off from a powerful clique of actors and writers and inside players who are now determined to blacklist her in LA.
Still…Sienna's priorities haven't changed. Girl likes to party. And London is her party playground.
Here she is the other night at the Hollywood Dominos VIP launch where she apparently targeted Olivier Martinez, then moved on to a club called Jalouse and threw herself at Leonardo DiCaprio who wanted no part of her drama, and finally tried to settle with her former flame Josh Hartnett with whom she had a brief hook up around Sundance 2 years ago.
But at least none of them are married. This is a good clean start.

Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer – FAQ/Walkthrough
FAQ/Walkthrough by Suspectii
Version: 1.3 | Updated: 12/05/2004
Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer GameCube Activision/Treyarch Copyright (c) 2004 Matt Hoffmann Version 1.3 - Surfer stats have been added. ******************************** Contents ******** Introduction Controls The Boat Meters and Scoring Goals Top Score Tips Surfers Beaches Unlockables Cheats Legal Contact Credits Introduction ***************************************************************************** In case you are wondering, I am new to the FAQ writing scene, but I have been playing video games since the days of Pong so I know a bit about gaming. The following guide, faq, walkthrough, or whatever you want to call it, is intended to help you, the gamer, onto the right track to becoming your livingroom surfing champion. The game and game manuals include much of what you need, although some of the information in one contrasts the other. In general, if you notice something in the manual that is in contrast to something in the Wave House tutorials, the manual is wrong. I cannot say this enough, pay attention to Kelly in the Wave House, he knows what he is talking about. ***************************************************************************** Controls ***************************************************************************** Hopefully all of you are already familiar with the GameCube controller. If for some reason you aren't, consult any manual for any game on the system. I will address all buttons according to their official identifier excepting the Control Stick and Control Pad, which I will refer to as D-Stick and D-Pad. Also, I suggest reading the KSPS manual and playing through all 3 Wave House Levels before continuing into the game. Within KSPS there are four unique positions that alter the game controls. Catching A Wave: Lying on your board at the start or after a wipeout. The Face: Anywhere on the wave ahead of the breaking part. The Tube: Inside the breaking part. Some waves break in sections. The Air: In the air above the wave. --------------- Catching A Wave --------------- D-Stick/D-Pad - Left/Right turns surfer accordingly. X Button - Duck Dive. Turn into the wave and hold X to dive under the wave. Y Button - Stand. Stand before you get too high on the wave. -------- The Face -------- D-Stick/D-Pad - Left/Right rotates surfer accordingly. Up speeds up surfer. Down performs a stall. Face tricks depend on the D-Stick position A Button - Jump. Release when pointed off the top of the wave to get air. B Button - Carve/Snaps = sudden turns into or out of the wave. X Button - Grab turns = less abrupt turning. Y Button - Tail slide = spin move. Floater = slide along the peak of the wave. Z Button - Hold Z to change the camera to focus on the tube or objects. C-Stick - Press up to cash in Special trick points. -------- The Tube -------- D-Stick/D-Pad - Hold Down to stall into the tube. Hold up to speed out. Left/Right keeps your balance meter centered. Tube tricks depend on the D-Stick direction. L/R Button - Quickly cut to the left or right to gain position in the tube. A Button - Speed up to escape the tube. X Button - Grab Rail = improves balance while holding. Y Button - Perform various tricks depending on Control Stick position. Z Button - Hold to change the camera to focus into the tube. ------- The Air ------- D-Stick/D-Pad - Left/Right spins the surfer accordingly. /C-Stick Air Tricks depend on the D-Stick direction. B Button - Flip Tricks = flip the board while in mid air. X Button - Grab Tricks = grab the board while in mid air. Y Button - Exit Move. Y+Y then Y+D-Stick in any direction. Check the "Trick Book" on the boat or in the Pause menu to get a complete listing of tricks for a particular Surfer at a particular point in your career. ---------- Pause Menu ---------- Press "Start" to enter the pause menu. From here you can: Continue surfing. Retry a wave or Restart a Competition. Check the Beach Goals. Get tips. Change options. Check your Trick Book for Tricks. End the ride. Return to the Boat. ***************************************************************************** The Boat ***************************************************************************** The Boat is the main menu of the game. From the Boat you can select one of several main menu choices. Options - Change Sound, Video, and Rumble Pak options. Free Surf - Practice your skills or go for high scores. Multiplayer - Play against friends in one of three modes. Extras - Check out the movies you unlock in career mode, among other things. Career Mode - Bring yourself up through the ranks of pro surfing. A brief note on saving ---------------------- The game requires 2 files, 1 settings and 1 surfer, for a total of 14 blocks. You can save a career over another and it will keep your progress accept that you will not be able to return to the other career or the scrap book. I recommend this to save space, but make sure you complete each career and save your favorite surfer for the last spot to get the scrap book. Returning to the Boat during career mode allows you to select new boards, check out new tricks in your trick book, and select your personality suit when you unlock it. You may also see your photos in the scrap book. ***************************************************************************** Meters and Scoring ***************************************************************************** There are several meters and visual indicators used in KSPS. Some are present through out the ride, while others are goal specific or moment specific. I will explain them in order of where they appear. Upper Right: Score - Keeps track of the points you earn. Linked tricks don't score until your special meter runs out or you cash in. Don't bail! Clock - Stop watch counts down (usually 3 minutes) until time is up. If you bail your time is penalized. A second timer appears to track how long your special meter has been yellow for certain goals. Special - Perform tricks to max it out. When maxed, perform special tricks. Lower Right: Wave Meter - Shows wave height and breaking sections. It also shows the next waves height, if you want to wait around for the big one. Hazard Sign - Yellow sign flashes when objects are near. Upper Left: Objective Display - Tracks certain goal requirements. Left Hand Icons: Icons - Icons picturing moves will drop down on the left side. Complete them to clear them from the stack. If the stack fills up before you complete the required number, you lose. Green Triangle = Standard Air Tricks Purple Square = Standard Face Tricks Red Circle = Standard Tube Tricks Yellow Icons = Special Tricks, dependant on shape. Bottom Center: Trick Tracker - Keeps track of the building score of your current trick set. You have a base score for style and a multiplier for variety. Sloppy/Perfect - Depending on how you land an Air Trick you will be rated either sloppy, perfect, or no rating. Perfect increases your special meter, while sloppy decreases it. ***************************************************************************** Goals ***************************************************************************** Creating a step by step walkthrough for a game like this is more or less pointless, because each surfer surfs his/her own way just like each player plays his/her own way. Instead I will list the various goal types that are encountered throughout the game and what you need to do to achieve each goal. From there I will give you each beach and it's specific goals, what was unlocked by completing those goals, and pointers on beach specific obstacles. Beat the Grom/Beat the Local ---------------------------- These are your basic "achieve this score before time runs out" goals. The local is the higher of the two and makes it to 500,000 on later beaches. Many of the other goals also require a certain total score, usually less than the grom, so shooting for the grom every time is a good idea. Read the "Top Score Tips" for a better idea of how to get high scores. Score ## Points in Air/Face/Tube Tricks --------------------------------------- Simply rack up the points needed on the particular part of the wave. The score needed can be anywhere from about 10,000 to 50,000 points Ride for ## Seconds Without Wiping Out -------------------------------------- Don't crash, don't bail, don't wipe out. These generally require a score total as well. The score required for it must be achieved in that time limit. The final board requires you to ride for 170 seconds for 500,000 points. Max Out Your Special Meter for ## Seconds ----------------------------------------- Anywhere from 5 to 40 seconds of special. Learn to land perfect and this becomes a lot easier. Also, dipping in and out of the tube can help this. Collect ## Icons ---------------- Perform the tricks as the icons fall from the sky. An Icon can be completed, but only the current Icon will ever give you the button combo, but don't depend on it at the harder beaches. If you bail you lose any Icons you have completed, but haven't cashed in. If you get an Icon you don't want to do, wait for the next icon if you know the combo for it. ## of Points in # Photos/## Point Photo of a Special Trick ---------------------------------------------------------- 3 photos will be taken during the ride. Some rounds will add up the points from all three, others will only take the best total for one photo. In every case it is best to max out your special meter and rack up your linked tricks until photo time. A camera focus will materialize as a timer counts to four, at which time the photo will flash. Trick on the third beep and know how to land when the flash goes off. Place 1st/2nd/3rd in "Beach" Competition ---------------------------------------- Perform well in three heats. You must spread your tricks between the required parts of the wave to place well. Wipe outs lower your score and take time away. Perform # Degree Air Tricks --------------------------- Rotate and land a certain number of 360s or 540s. Make sure you make it full circle or it may not count. To many rotations is fine, it still counts. Some surfer can spin faster and jump higher, so if you are having trouble try using the board with the best spin and air. I managed a 1260 at Currens Point with Tiki God on his board. Learn How to Pull Off "New Trick" --------------------------------- Perform the new special trick 3 times. An Icon will form in the top left giving you Air/Face/Tube and part of the button combo. Know the special tricks. Completing the trick adds it to your book, and usually unlocks another new trick. Splash/Spray/Jump/Smash "Object" -------------------------------- You will need to splash/spray/jump/smash 3 of these items in the round. Objects range from a fat guy floating on a tube to a Jet skier zipping about the waves. Splashing/Spraying means you have to zip up close and catch the object with the spray from your board. You can usually achieve this by carving very close. Smashing is simply running over the object. This often counts as spraying as well, but not always. Jumping can be either a little hop over the object as it floats out in front of you or catching air in an arc over it as it rolls over the lip of the wave. ***************************************************************************** Top Score Tips ***************************************************************************** Rotation, Rotation, Rotation - The more rotations the more base points. Learn to land - Perfect is still perfect backwards. Mix the tricks - The more variety the higher the multiplier. Use the Tube - Your base points go up every second you are in the tube. Know your Tricks - Special tricks give high base points. You're Special - The longer the special the higher the total. Stay Close - The closer to the tube, the more points and higher Air. Know the Wave - Many waves will break in front of you at points. Over isn't Over - The round won't end until your special dies down. With the right combination of rotations and moves, you can hit 500,000 pts in one trick set. It's possible to get that many points in about 15 seconds if you do it right. ***************************************************************************** Surfers ***************************************************************************** KSPS has 9 Pro surfers, the best of the best in the current surfing world, and 4 secret surfers. Each of the 13 surfers have different strengths and weaknesses based on their statistics and those of their boards. The surfer stats seem to make up approximately 65% while board stats make up the other 35%. This is by no means an exact figure, but should give you a solid idea of how one surfer will perform against another. Low stats does not mean poor performance, just less rotations in the air for the most part. The surfer's ability is based on four stats: spin - Their ability to rotate in the air. speed - Their speed on the face of a wave. air - Their ability to jump. balance - Their ability to remain standing in the tube and when landing. For each surfer I will give a name and their stats in the form of a percent set "Base Stat / Top Stat" Kelly Slater spin - 45% / 75% speed - 65% / 95% air - 45% / 75% balance - 65% / 95% Lisa Andersen spin - 40% / 70% speed - 60% / 90% air - 45% / 75% balance - 75% / 100% Tom Carroll spin - 35% / 65% speed - 70% / 98% air - 40% / 70% balance - 75% / 100% Tom Curren spin - 35% / 75% speed - 75% / 100% air - 45% / 75% balance - 70% / 98% Nathan Fletcher spin - 50% / 80% speed - 60% / 90% air - 70% / 98% balance - 50% / 80% Donavon Frankenreiter spin - 40% / 70% speed - 60% / 90% air - 55% / 85% balance - 75% / 100% Bruce Irons spin - 55% / 85% speed - 60% / 90% air - 60% / 90% balance - 55% / 85% Rob Machado spin - 45% / 75% speed - 70% / 98% air - 50% / 80% balance - 70% / 98% Kalani Robb spin - 50% / 80% speed - 60% / 90% air - 65% / 95% balance - 55% / 85% Travis Pastrana spin - 55% / 85% speed - 60% / 90% air - 55% / 85% balance - 60% / 90% Tiki God spin - 75% / 100% speed - 75% / 100% air - 75% / 100% balance - 75% / 100% Tony Hawk spin - 60% / 90% speed - 55% / 85% air - 60% / 90% balance - 55% / 85% Surfreak spin - 55% / 85% speed - 55% / 85% air - 60% / 90% balance - 60% / 90% ***************************************************************************** Beaches ***************************************************************************** For this section I will be playing through as Nathan Fletcher and Tom Curren, but it shouldn't make any difference except which tricks are unlocked when. The order I use is not the only order, but it is the one I have found to be fastest when traveling the world map. Keep in mind that some Surfers have more Special Tricks to start so they may not gain New Tricks everywhere that these two have. Depending on the surfer, you may be able to get new tricks at any beach. (Press Y on the world map for a complete map Bio) Many unlockables are goal specific so that you need not complete the entire Beach to gain them, but for purposes of simplicity I will only list the unlockables as I complete the entire round. The Beach format will be as follows: The Beach Title - Secondary Beach Title if applicable - Level Title Approximate Wave height / Break Direction The Main Goal Any Secondary Goals -Unlockables Special Tips ---------- Wave House Tutorial - beginner/intermediate/advanced ---------- 8.6ft / Right Breaking Complete Each of the Tutorials. ----------------------- Sebastian - photo shoot ----------------------- 6ft / Right Breaking 2000 pts in 3 photos + 10000 pts.

If you want to know specifically how to unlock something read the Beaches section. Beaches and Levels ------------------ There are 16 beaches, with additional weather conditions totaling 22 beaches, that you progress through in career mode. Each beach has between one and 3 levels, whith its own set of goals. Once a surfer reaches the beach it becomes unlocked in the other game modes. Defeating main goals at a particular beach will unlock new beaches or levels. Boards ------ Each of the 9 surfers have their own quiver of 9 boards of varying stats and looks. The player begins with the weakest and unlocks the other eight by completing various goals at various beaches. There are 14 boards that are unlocked when any surfer beats the main goal at Teahupoo B.C. Each of these boards has varied stats that are all at about the same level as the top board in the standard quiver. There is also an "ultimate" board with perfect stats that is unlocked when you complete the career with any surfer. All boards that are unlocked become useable in the other game modes, although each surfer may only use the 9 boards specific to his/her standard quiver. Movies ------ All movies can be accessed through the Extras Menu. As you proceed through the career you move to new beaches. Doing so unlocks intro movies for each beach. Winning with a particular surfer will unlock a long version of his/her bio movie. Riding 90 seconds at Cortez Bank unlocks a Bails movie. You can watch your favorite pro surfers screw up at what they do best. Personality Suits ----------------- Each of the 9 pros has one alternate appearance that is unlocked when you complete. The new appearance has a board that you are required to use with the suit unless you have unlocked the extra 14 boards or the super board. The board is not accessable if you are not using the suit. Board stats will vary based on what board you were using when you switched to the suit. Tricks ------ Each surfer has a unique set of special moves, some surfers may have certain moves that others do not. These sets gain tricks as career mode progresses, allowing more tricks for that surfer to be used in other modes. Handicaps --------- Gaining stats in career mode will allow you to increase a surfer's handicap in the other game modes. Surfers ------- Upon completion of the Teahupoo main goal with any surfer, you will unlock four new surfers: Tony Hawk - Skateboarding legend. Travis Pastrana - Motocross freestylist. He can Headstand on the Face. Surfreak(Surffreak) - See for yourself. Tiki God - Need I say more? The secret surfers do not have a complete quiver. They have one custom board with near perfect stats. They also lack a personality suit and won't even wear a wetsuit in Antarctica. Their stats and trick books will improve with a career, and they can use the 14 secret boards and the super board, once unlocked at the end of the career. Their standard boards make it very easy to complete a career with them as well as reaching top scores on beaches early in the career. Beach Secrets ------------- I don't know if these secrets have a point or not, but I have not looked for all of them to find out. Basically they are "Tricks" that appear orange on your trick tracker and add multipliers and points. Some are obvious, like splashing or smashing the various objects while others are more difficult to find. An example is landing on top of the Tube or breaking through the tube wall. If you are in search of something to do, try finding them all and see what they do. ***************************************************************************** Cheats ***************************************************************************** Input cheats into your phone in the Extras section of the menu. Cheats appear in the form of phone numbers and are stored in your phone once they are unlocked in game. I wasn't paying attention to my phone ever, so I don't know when the cheats are unlocked, but here are the cheats that I have found. I haven't used them and don't care to, so I don't know exactly how well they work. I have unlocked: 1st Person - 877-555-3825 Balance - 213-555-5721 High Jump - 217-555-0217 Max Stats - 212-555-1776 You can't record top scores while using cheats. Something to think about. ***************************************************************************** Legal ***************************************************************************** You read the copyright notice at the beginning of the FAQ right?

Don't. There isn't anything else I know about the game at this point and if I find anything I will update the FAQ when I get a chance. If you can't do something or don't know something; Try looking in your maual, it's very complete even with it's mistakes. Play through the Wave House a few times, it isn't hard to pick up. What you see is what I got. If it isn't here, I don't know it. email@example.com I won't open attatchments or emails with out subjects that I might recognize Try "Pro Surfer FAQ" if you want me to even look. I don't want forwards, spams, or any of that other mumbo jumbo, so please Respect me and don't waste my time, otherwise I will just stop looking. ***************************************************************************** Credits ***************************************************************************** Activision for giving me hours of surfing entertainment, but next time I WANT A LONG BOARD!! and a create a surfer too!
