First of all, I want to say sorry about the render. The head was coming in all weird and I couldn't fix it. The smoothing groups are also not applied which I am trying to fix. I have fixed all of the shiny lighting issues and I have fixed the blue colouring.
Do you want a 4k texture with baked AOs based on a high poly normal map? Well then click that download button. This mod also provides 2k maps for the performance needy computers. Unlike TIP, this mod includes completely remade face textures in 2k (in the 4k version) and 1k (in the 2k version). I reduced the texture size in order to maximize performance and quality.
Unfortunately, this mod does not cover invuln textures and other misc textures. Therefore, I still highly suggest downloading TIP but let this mod replace it.
The download has a vpk version and a loose file version. I suggest vpk because it loads fast but if you are using TIP I suggest installing TIP and the installing the loose files afterwards replacing any files from TIP.
It would be really cool if someone could port this to SFM. Unfortunately, I do not have the knowledge to do so. If you know how to do it, please send me a pm or leave a comment explaining.
With TIP (Texture Improvement Project):
1. Navigate to C:Program Files (x86)/Steam/SteamApps/common/TeamFortress2/tf/custom
2. Make a folder inside of there and call it my_custom_stuff
3. Put all of the folders in the TIP archive into the my_custom_stuff folder
4. Drag and drop 2k Sniper from my archive into your custom folder not your my_custom_stuff folder.
5. All done! Enjoy the skin!

Gay rights campaigners urge Capital One to drop Alec Baldwin after gay slurs
Gay rights campaigners are calling on bosses at banking giant Capital One to drop Alec Baldwin as a company spokesman following his homophobic online outburst.
The "30 Rock" star posted an expletive-filled tirade on his Twitter page aimed at reporter George Stark, who suggested in a Daily Mail article that Baldwin's wife, Hilaria, was tweeting during James Gandolfini's funeral last month.
RELATED: The royal couple's favorite sports
Baldwin adamantly denied the allegation and targeted Stark by calling him a "toxic little queen" and a "lying little b**ch", ranting, "I am gonna f**k you up... I want all of my followers and beyond to straighten out this f**king little b**ch."
Now, a coalition of leading gay and straight activists are urging Capital One chiefs to drop the actor as the face of their credit card campaign.
RELATED: Hottest royal beach bods
Jimmy LaSalvia, co-founder of political action group GOProud for gay conservatives, tells Breitbart.com, "We urge all Americans to ask themselves, 'What's in your wallet?' We hope they will reject Alec Baldwin's homophobia by cutting up those Capital One cards in their wallets."
LaSalvia's colleague John Hawkins adds, "It's still a free country and Alec Baldwin can do as much gay bashing as he likes on Twitter, but it's hard to understand why Capital One would choose to publicly condone his homophobia by keeping Baldwin on as its spokesman. If Capital One is not going to do the right thing then Capital One doesn't deserve our business."
RELATED: Most expensive celeb engagement rings
After his Twitter tirade, Baldwin issued an apology to gay rights group GLAAD. Capital One executives have yet to comments on his actions.

Generally you don't make many errors Luciano. But to my eye, the mane should follow the back of the neck of the one closest to the camera and maybe intersect loosely with the one in the rear. Great source choice by the way.

New Long Wong's Music Venue: What Does It Mean?
OK, by now you've perhaps read on our food blog that there's a new Long Wong's planned for Apache and McClintock. "Big Deal," you may be thinking, "those wing joints are everywhere."
Not so fast. A close inspection of the zoning documents reveals that this Long Wong's is planning to have music up to five nights a week, on both indoor and outdoor stages. According to Michele Laudig, our food editor, some of the people involved in this Long Wong's are the same people involved in the old one, which is, shamefully, now a parking lot.
So, yeah, the wings aren't really a big deal. The real issue here is that someone is apparently planning to resurrect the most notable music venue in Arizona's history. The old Mill Avenue location has been the subject of a zillion articles (I like this one) and the venue's last night takes up a chapter of Laurie Notaro's excellent book We Thought You'd Be Prettier.
I have to admit, I dared not dream of this when I wrote that "Downtown is Ovah." This could be even better. As I said before:
From what I've observed, music venues tend to operate best with synergy. Drop one cool venue someplace and more will follow. Remove the heart? I'll answer that question with a question: How many shows have you seen on Mill since Long Wong's closed?
Now, I know Kimber Lanning has faith in downtown's Wolverine-like healing powers or she wouldn't make this move. And, true, Lanning knows a shit-load about urban planning and I do not. But I've read Richard Florida's The Rise of the Creative Class and I've lived a few places. From what I'm seeing, it looks as if it's Tempe Time -- for local and indie music, at least.
Yucca Tap Room's expansion is about to open. The Rogue, which is just a few miles north of the proposed new Long Wong's, is booking a hell of a lot of shows. Now a true "name" venue is re-opening? I could yet be wrong, but it looks like the "Tempe Time" I forecast back in October is nigh.

How do I get sfplay to remember the audio file i want it to play rather than having to click 'open' every time I start my patch?
Might seem like a silly question but help will be appreciated :)
try either [loadbang] –> "open blahblah.aif" –> [sfplay~],
[loadmess open cherokee.aif] –> [sfplay~],
or look at the [sflist] object helpfile. The last is the preferred solution, depending on size/number of audio files required and other start up activity within your patch.
Thank you.

$25M plant upgrade could boost San Clemente's recycled water
San Clemente is set to embark on a $25 million project designed to reduce the city's reliance on imported water.
The project would upgrade San Clemente's wastewater treatment plant so it can produce up to 5 million gallons per day of recycled water suitable for irrigation. Currently the plant can produce 2.2 million gallons.
The City Council on Tuesday night will consider hiring contractors for:
• New facilities at the wastewater treatment plant
• Ten miles of new distribution pipelines
• Conversion of an existing city reservoir to store recycled water
• Construction of a new reservoir for potable water
A report to the council says San Clemente imports nearly 9,000 acre-feet of water per year and that this project could reduce dependence on imported water by 930 acre-feet per year. The city has received $6.1 million in state and federal grants and $14.3 million in loans to help pay for the work.
The council will meet at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 100 Avenida Presidio. See the full agenda here.

|Canon PIXMA MG6320
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., December 4, 2012 – In a world where images are instantly shared, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced three PIXMA printers and a CanoScan photo scanner to expand the creative solutions available to consumers for easily printing, archiving and sharing photos.

Innovative Design
The sleek, compact PIXMA Wireless Photo AIO printers feature a new snap-edge design that improves the overall look and feel of the machine while allowing for quick and easy access to the device's ink cartridges for easy replacement. Each Photo AIO printer, has a low-height body to reduce the space needed to open the scanner, and a new paper cassette on the MG6320 and MG5420, as well as on the iP7220, that allows the printers to sit flush against a wall to conveniently fit in a variety of spaces and home offices.

On Canon's page, the "Specifications" page indicates it uses six CLI-8 dye cartridges (Cyan, PhotoCyan, Magenta, PhotoMagenta, Yellow, and Black).
The "Supplies and Accessories" indicates it uses CLI-251 dye cartridges and PGI-250 pigment black.
I'd be (Very Pleasantly) surprised if the iP7220 uses CLI-8 cartridges.
After messing about with Epson products which produced excellent results but cost a fortune to run and eventually clogged, I abandoned printing photos all together.
Home ink jet printers make no sense whatsoever unless you are printing at least a couple per day. They suck ink from the tiny cartridges that cost a fortune and they clog if you don't use them often.
It is cheaper to use an dedicated LCD or just get them printed.
It may indeed be possible to make a viable ink jet but no companies are willing to do it. I have seen a hacked Epson R200 with huge external ink reservoirs that is economically viable BUT unless you print a couple a day the jets clog and the printer is toast.
I have the misfortune to own a Pixma MP630. The dreaded thing produces decent photos but needs a constant supply of cartridges as their capacity is only about 2ml. This is *very* irritating as the process of replacing an empty cartridge completely drains the nearly empty cartridges. Even using 7dayshop carts the thing is expensive to run.
I'll never buy another Pixma printer after this experience.
I have a Canon Pixma 4600. The cleaning process will be started each time I start the printer and takes incredibly long time. Annoying. But the real problem is that this process will empty, gradually, the cartridges and cannot be deactivated or stopped! For instance, I lose a set of the color cartridges because I printed only in black (worksheets not color photos). Additionally, if a cartridge is empty or missing you cannot print! This is not acceptable and I would be curious if these new printers have the same problems. No test or review has mentioned these major inconvenient. My new printer is now a laser-printer....

My Reviews
Smooth, nice color
Just like the regular brands without the junky chemicals
This stuff rocks for cancer survivors!
Posted by Reviewer1342249 on Oct 16, 2008
Easy to use, has no taste, and has helped me to fight breast cancer by encouraging healthy cell growth.
Awful ! No lime taste whatsoever
Posted by Reviewer1342249 on Jul 13, 2010
Was really looking forward to lime-flavored tea. Yuck. Not only was there no lime flavor - there was barely any green tea flavor.
Great value
Posted by Reviewer1342249 on Aug 11, 2009
Good source of protein when you are on a budget!
Great multi, especially for those who can't have soy and other things
Posted by Reviewer1342249 on Oct 11, 2008
These are great vegan multi's. I always feel safe with Solgar.
Finely ground, easy to use.
Can't Beat the Price
You can make Rice Krispy-like treats with these :)
WORKS - for sure
Don't mess around with less expensive brands. This stuff works.
Didn't work
Posted by Reviewer1342249 on Sep 12, 2008
I was bummed - lots of prep, and it didn't work to cover greys. I don't have a lot - but the few that I have were just as grey as they were before I started.
Not the large pieces of salt you may be looking for
Posted by Reviewer1342249 on Apr 06, 2010
I love this brand of salt, but the description led me to believe that this was the coarse chunks of pink salt that can be used in a grinder. It's not. To me it seems rather fine. taste is great, but not the style of salt I wanted.
Yummy smell, safe
My pre-teen likes it. We also spray it on linens.
Best value
You can't go wrong with NOW products. This stevia tastes great.

Similar Students Measure (SSM)
CCSA created the Similar Students Measure (SSM), as a key component of our Accountability Framework. The Similar Students Measure (SSM) identifies schools that over- and under-perform compared to schools serving similar students statewide. It functions as a "proxy value-add" measure by comparing each school's performance to a prediction based on how schools with similar demographic characteristics perform.
How is the SSM calculated?
The Similar Students Measure (SSM) helps to set a minimal bar of performance that allows for uniformly high expectations while taking into account students' background. The SSM is used as one component of CCSA's Minimum Criteria for Renewal, which also include status, growth, and post-secondary readiness. CCSA's Minimum Criteria do not attempt to measure quality or supersede any performance goals set by the state or federal government. These criteria are only meant to determine which charters have academic outcomes that warrant renewal and which charters do not.
Infographic: How is the SSM calculated and what does it tell you?
Each year, schools are placed in one of five SSM categories:
- Far Above = actual score at least 2 standard deviations above predicted score
- Above = actual score 1 to 2 standard deviations above predicted score
- Within = actual score within 1 standard deviate of predicted score
- Below = actual score 1 to 2 standard deviations below predicted score
- Far Below = actual score at least 2 standard deviations below predicted score
When possible, these results are aggregated into a three-year SSM Performance Band. There are seven possible Bands: Far Above All Years, Above All Years, Within/Fluctuating, Below Most Years, Below All Years, Far Below All Years.
The SSM attempts to identify how much value a school's educational program is adding to its students' performance. The SSM answers two questions:
- What is the predicted performance for a school given its student body?
- To what extent is the school missing or surpassing its predicted performance?
These questions are answered using pairs of linear regressions for each grade and subject. The regressions control for variables that influence academic achievement (e.g., parent education, socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, etc.). Actual achievement minus predicted achievement produces a raw SSM score. After averaging ELA and Math in each grade, we weight by the number of valid scores per grade to obtain one number for each school. These school-level SSM scores allow us to place schools in the categories described above as well as in 20 equal bins. The more nuanced bins allow CCSA to analyze charter performance in a relatively fine-grained manner.
The SSM calculation is based on publicly-reported achievement scores and tested-student demographics, as reported to the California Department of Education. CCSA does not produce SSM categories for schools that are ASAM, Alternative, or have fewer than 30 valid scores.
Technical Guide
More information on the construction and intended use of the Similar Students Measure will be available in the new 2016-17 SSM Technical Guide - Coming Soon!

Achievable outcomes of dynamic contribution games
This paper concerns multistage games, with and without discounting, in which each player can increase the level of an action over time so as to increase the other players' future payoffs. An action profile is said to be achievable if it is the limit point of a subgame perfect equilibrium path. Necessary conditions are derived for achievability under relatively general conditions. They imply that any efficient profile that is approximately achievable must be in the core of the underlying coalitional game. In some but not all games with discounting, the necessary conditions for achievability are also sufficient for a profile to be the limit of achievable profiles as the period length shrinks to zero. Consequently, in these games when the period length is very short, (i) the set of achievable profiles does not depend on the move structure; (ii) an efficient profile can be approximately achieved if and only if it is in the core; and (iii) any achievable profile can be achieved almost instantly.

Leland Tower is a twenty-two story tall building located on Stolp Island in Aurora, Illinois. Leland Tower was at one point the tallest building in Illinois outside of Chicago. Stolp Island is recognized as a Historical District by the National Register of Historical Places. Leland Tower was at one time the tallest building in the world, and dominates the downtown of Aurora, dwarfing all the other buildings located there. The tower was built initially as a hotel. The Leland Hotel project was conceived in 1926 and was one of the most ambitious projects in the city's history. The project was announced by an organization known as the Aurora Building Corporation through Herbert P. Heiss of the First Illinois Company. Mr. Heiss had located and purchased the site for the proposed hotel. The building contract was awarded to the H.G. Chtistman Company, general contractors of South Bend, Indiana and Detroit, Michigan. Anker Sveere Graven and Arthur Guy Mayger were chosen to design the hotel which was planned to be one of the grandest buildings outside of Chicago.

Channelling The Nigeria's Foreign Exchange Reserves into Alternative Investment Outlets: A Critical Analysis
In recent years, impressive price of crude oil has stimulated the accumulation of foreign exchange reserves in Nigeria. However, observers have expressed fears about the channels of utilisation of the reserves, especially to other alternatives investment outlets. This paper examines the cost-effective propositions of the foreign reserves in Nigeria, and considers alternative investment channels. The study uses data from publications of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Statistical Bulletin, Annual Reports and Statement of Accounts. It adopts the theory of demand for internationalreserves based on three motive notably transaction, precautionary and mercantilist. The study among others finds that Nigeria foreign reserve is adequate. The level of reserves to import satisfies the international benchmark etc. The study recommends among others the need to split foreign reserves into four portfolios. The liquidity portfolio, long-term portfolio or investment portfolio, immunization portfolio, and the petroleum fund buffer portfolio or sovereign wealth fund.
