JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – The excuse at last week's tournament was that he was hitting it too flush. When this one began, Tiger Woods said he was too mechanical. Let's try lost.
It's no longer about playing up to the standard he once set. Since slinking back into the game after a self-inflicted scandal, then battling leg injuries, Woods has been competitive on no more than a handful of occasions. He can't stop spraying his drives, his short game isn't good enough to save him — especially from greenside bunkers — and he isn't making putts. In his opening round at the PGA Championship, that totaled up to a 7-over 77.
To those who expected Woods to come back the way Michael Jordan did after revelations of late-night gambling escapades during the NBA playoffs almost two decades ago — by dropping 55 points on the Knicks the next night, en route to yet another NBA championship — quit holding your breath. Right now, he looks more like Jordan in a Washington Wizards jersey.
"I'm not down. I'm really angry right now," Woods said Thursday, both hands gripping the lectern he stood behind. "There's a lot of words I could use beyond that."
Woods has tried changing his swing, his coach and, most recently, his caddie. On this day he started 3 under through the first five holes focused on what he called "mechanical thoughts" — shorthand for the swing changes he and coach Sean Foley have been working on. For reasons he didn't bother to explain, Woods said he shifted his focus to playing the way he used to. He proceeded to play the next 13 holes in 10 over.
"I thought, 'I can let it go,' and play by instinct and feel," he said. "And it just screwed up my whole round. I'm not at that point where I can do that yet."
Woods is not just playing like all those guys he used to treat as extras in the background of his movie; he sounds like them, too. He says he's never far from a breakthrough, from climbing back to the lofty position he once held. The numbers say otherwise. Since 2009, he's dropped more than 100 places in total driving (a measure combining distance and accuracy), sand saves and avoiding three putts.
Yet it's worth remembering that when Woods segued from his first pro coach, Butch Harmon, to Hank Haney, he shot back up the charts. Despite scant evidence to back him up, Woods is certain he will again with Foley, who's new-age approach to the swing involves treating a student's psyche as much as a tendency to lift the head.
"I've been in this process before. I've been through it with Butch. I've been through it with Hank and now I'm going through it with Sean," Woods said. "I just thought this is a major and you peak for these events and once you get to a major championship, you just let it fly, let it go.
"I did," he added, "and it cost me."
If only it were that simple. Reached by phone Thursday afternoon at his base in the Dallas area, Haney said the last thing he was going to do was try to analyze Woods' swing or his mindset from that distance.
"I'll say this, though, from my experience: Tiger thinks about the mechanics of every golf shot he's ever hit. I doubt the problem is that he's too mechanical or not mechanical enough. He hasn't had too many opportunities to practice and play and now he's at a major championship on a very difficult golf course," Haney said. "It might just be that simple.
"It's not easy to change, but every time he attempts it, people say, 'Why does he change?' The answer is that he's always changed — with Butch, then with me — and he always got better. More wins, more top 10s, top 5s and obviously he felt like he could still get better. Now he's got to climb back up that mountain, and believe me, he knows how to do all this.
"But in order to do that, you have to play and practice, get in those repetitions. Since April, he's played, what, five rounds of tournament golf?" Haney said. "You can't compete doing that."
No one but Woods knows how often he practices and whether he's limited by the leg injuries that have required four surgeries dating back to his freshman year at Stanford in 1994. But he's made a habit of playing nine-hole practice rounds, especially recently, curious for someone whose dedication to getting better was once beyond question.
The milestone that matters most to Woods, now a few months shy of 36 and stuck on 14 majors, was Jack Nicklaus' career record of 18 majors. Only two years ago, it resembled a stroll. Now, it's not enough to say the path just got tougher. It seems fair to ask whether Woods has lost his way.

New Orleans, Louisiana (CNN) — BP appeared Monday night to have placed a new containment cap on its crippled well in the Gulf of Mexico that's been gushing oil since an explosion and fire April 20.
The company hopes the new cap will be able to completely contain the leaking oil, but tests are still needed to determine its effectiveness.
Video supplied by BP showed robotic arms gingerly lowering the new cap over the well, with little oil appearing to escape.
If the new cap does not completely contain oil from the crippled well, some may have to be brought to the surface to waiting containment ships. But under a worst-case scenario, there could be new damage to blowout preventer.
The tests are due to begin Tuesday morning, CNN's Ed Lavandera reported on "The Situation Room." The process could take anywhere from six hours to two days.
Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the man in charge of the federal response, said Monday scientists will be checking the pressure inside the well, and then determining whether the cap is holding the oil in or if crews will need to continue siphoning oil.
A critical step is making sure there's no hydrate buildup, according to BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles.
In the best-case scenario, the containment cap would have the ability to close down the valves and slowly contain all the oil, Allen said.
But if oil collection were still necessary, over the next two to three weeks, 60,000 to 80,000 barrels (2.52 million to 3.36 million gallons) a day could be collected as part of the containment process, according to BP Senior Vice President Kent Wells. That's because the new containment cap would eventually allow four collection ships to access the well, rather than the maximum of three allowed by the old cap, Allen said earlier.
While robots worked to replace the old cap, crude oil continued to leak out. Scientists estimate that 35,000 to 60,000 barrels of oil have spewed daily from BP's breached well.
Now, even if oil does have to be sent to the surface, BP said it has more resources at its disposal. The oil-gathering ship, the Helix Producer, was put in place Monday to recover oil, joining the Q4000, which is already active.
Between the two ships, crews should be able to collect up to 33,000 barrels of oil per day, Suttles said.
Meanwhile, as efforts to place the containment cap on the well were unfolding, the U.S. Interior Department said Monday it is issuing a new moratorium order in a second effort to block deepwater oil and natural gas projects.
But the was opposition from a key Democratic senator and even some drilling companies that limit their activities close to shore.
The government said the new moratorium is to "protect communities, coasts, and wildlife" while oil and gas companies implement safety measures to reduce the risks of blowouts and oil spills associated with deepwater drilling. The ban will be in effect through November 30, 2010, or until Interior Secretary Ken Salazar determines that deepwater drilling operations can proceed safely.
It would prevent further deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico until officials determine what went wrong in the April 20 explosion and fire at an oil rig that led to oil gushing into the ocean 5,000 feet below the surface.
A previous six-month ban issued in the wake of the Gulf oil disaster was thrown out by a federal judge in New Orleans. Last week, a federal appeals panel rejected the government's request to overturn the lower court judge's decision. The new Interior Department order supersedes the old one.
"More than eighty days into the BP oil spill, a pause on deepwater drilling is essential and appropriate to protect communities, coasts, and wildlife from the risks that deepwater drilling currently pose," Salazar said in a statement. "I am basing my decision on evidence that grows every day of the industry's inability in the deepwater to contain a catastrophic blowout, respond to an oil spill, and to operate safely."
He added, "I remain open to modifying the new deepwater drilling suspensions based on new information."
But Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana called the moratorium "unnecessary, ill-conceived and a second economic disaster for the Gulf Coast."
She spoke before a presidential commission, tasked with reviewing the response to the oil spill and making recommendations about the future of offshore drilling. Landrieu called the BP oil spill the "exception instead of the rule" and said the deepwater drilling moratorium will kill jobs. The National Oil Spill Commission is holding meetings in New Orleans Monday and Tuesday.
"Whether you call it a moratorium, a suspension or a pause, the result will still be a substantial loss of jobs," Landrieu said. "Even the revised moratorium will force thousands of hard working Louisianians and others in the Gulf Coast to the unemployment line. So I strongly urge this commission to take a quick and decisive action to immediately lift moratorium to save our business and our economy."
Shallow water drilling activities can continue to move forward, under the Interior Department's order, if operators comply with all safety and environmental requirements. The department said that's because they don't present the same type or level of risks that deepwater drilling operations can, it said.
But some concerns are being expressed even by firms that limit their drilling activities to shallow water.
Randy Stilley, president and chief executive officer of Seahawk Drilling, said in a statement that while shallow water drilling supposedly is being allowed under the new order, "the reality is that permits for shallow water drilling are not proceeding despite the widespread efforts being made by the industry to honor the letter and spirit of new Interior regulatory standards." Jim Noe, senior vice president and general Counsel of Hercules Offshore, added, "To date, and despite assurances from the White House and the Interior Department, about one-third of the shallow water fleet has been idled by the application of what can only be called a de facto moratorium."
There's also been concern from commercial interests in the Gulf region. Michael Hecht, president and chief executive officer of the economic development group Greater New Orleans Inc., told the the presidential commission, "Economically speaking, the BP oil spill is really a tale of two impacts: it's the impact of the oil spill itself and the impact from the moratorium on deepwater drilling."
As efforts continued Monday to get the new cap in place, Allen and BP executives emphasized that work was also continuing on two relief wells, which he called "the final solution" to shutting down the leaking well.
The first relief well is now five feet away from the main well and, at 17,840 feet deep, it's 30 feet above the hoped-for final casing point, BP's Suttles said Monday. That's where BP will run additional tests, then aim for the final intersection point. Given the closeness to the target, he said that BP was estimating "kill" operations to shut down the main well could take place at the end of the month.
The second relief well, which has been drilled as a redundancy measure at the behest of the Obama administration, is now at 15,874 feet deep, Suttles said. He added that BP is going to stop drilling that well farther unless it ends up being needed.
"If the relief wells for whatever reason happen to fail, the other option we are working on how do we install what I will call a permanent collection system, which is where we're working on pipelines to other facilities," BP's senior vice president, Kent Wells, told the National Oil Spill Commission on Monday.
While response crews were hard at work over the weekend, seven members of the National Oil Spill Commission visited different areas of the Gulf Coast affected by the oil disaster ahead of their meetings in New Orleans. Committee co-chairman William K. Reilly, a former Environmental Protection Agency administrator, went to Gulfport, Mississippi, to talk with disaster victims and inspect recovery efforts.
The visits and meetings will help the presidential commission "begin to lay the groundwork for our efforts going forward, to determine what really to concentrate on and where to put our priorities and, very importantly, what the people most affected by all of this think about how effective the response has been," Reilly said.
President Barack Obama established the bipartisan commission last month and gave members six months to investigate the oil catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico. The panel will listen to public comments and official testimony from BP, the U.S. Coast Guard and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on the recovery efforts.

While it wears a Democratic mask, it pushes for policies that are Wall Street fantasies, including gutting and privatizing Social Security.
(Editor's Note: Keep in mind that our Third Congressional District Rep. Ron Kind is an honorary chairman of the completely Wall Street funded Third Way group. What they believe, he believes and what they believe is a betrayal of every Democratic voter, family and working person. If Third Way and Ron Kind get their way and kiss your Social Security good-bye. — Mark L. Taylor)By Jim Hightower Nation of Change (12/19/13)
Here's a jarring headline: "Economic Populism Is a Dead End for Democrats."
That's the title on a recent op-ed piece written by a couple of longtime political flacks for Wall Street and published, naturally, in The Wall Street Journal.
Indeed, to put a thin veneer of legitimacy on this op-ed, they had to resort to the fiction that it is a political warning written to Democrats by Democrats — specifically by an inside-the-Beltway outfit calling itself Third Way.Take it from me, when the barons of big money start rolling out this kind of scolding screed, it's not because they really think populism is a loser, but because they're terrified by the fact that it has already gained mass appeal and is on the move all across grassroots America.
But this group is to authentic Democratic Party principles what near beer is to stout — only, not as close. Third Way is just the same old Wall Street way. While it wears a Democratic mask, it pushes for policies that are Wall Street fantasies, including gutting and privatizing Social Security.
Why would a group wanting you to believe that it has genuine Democratic genes be an advocate for further enriching Wall Street's Republican elite at the expense of America's middle class and the poor?
To find out, just peek behind Third Way's organizational curtain. You'll see that its funders and governing board include no one from labor, senior citizen, consumer, environmentalist, small-farmer, student, African American, Latino, and other core Democratic constituencies. Instead, of its 29 board members, 20 are Wall Street bankers, hedge fund hucksters, or venture capital vultures.
Third Way dead-ends at Wall Street. So, fronting for the selfish interests of its backers, it doesn't want any party championing economic populism. But the people do, and that's who Democrats should heed.

Do you want to listen to The Legend of Sleepy Hollow? If so then keep reading…Widely recognized as one of literature's most gripping ghost stories, this classic tale of moral degradation concerns the sinister transformation of two innocent children into flagrant liars and hypocrites. The story begins when a governess arrives at an English country estate to look after Miles, aged ten, and Flora, eight. At first, everything appears normal but then events gradually begin to weave a spell of psychological terror.One night a ghost appears before the governess. It is the dead lover of Miss Jessel, the former governess. Later, the ghost of Miss Jessel herself appears before the governess and the little girl. Moreover, both the governess and the housekeeper suspect that the two spirits have appeared to the boy in private. The children, however, adamantly refuse to acknowledge the presence of the two spirits, in spite of indications that there is some sort of evil communication going on between the children and the ghosts.Without resorting to clattering chains, demonic noises, and other melodramatic techniques, this elegantly told tale succeeds in creating an atmosphere of tingling suspense and unspoken horror matched by few other books in the genre. Known for his probing psychological novels dealing with the upper classes, James in this story tried his hand at the occult — and created a masterpiece of the supernatural that has frightened and delighted readers for nearly a century.What are you waiting for, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one click away, start listening NOW!

The fragments and testimonia of the early Greek philosophers (often labeled the Presocratics) have always been not only a fundamental source for understanding archaic Greek culture and ancient philosophy but also a perennially fresh resource that has stimulated Western thought until the present day. This new systematic conception and presentation of the evidence differs in three ways from Hermann Diels's groundbreaking work, as well as from later editions: it renders explicit the material's thematic organization; it includes a selection from such related bodies of evidence as archaic poetry, classical drama, and the Hippocratic corpus; and it presents an overview of the reception of these thinkers until the end of antiquity.
Volume I contains introductory and reference materials essential for using all other parts of the edition. Volumes II and III include chapters on ancient doxography, background, and the Ionians from Pherecydes to Heraclitus. Volumes IV and V present western Greek thinkers from the Pythagoreans to Hippo. Volumes VI and VII comprise later philosophical systems and their aftermath in the fifth and early fourth centuries. Volumes VIII and IX present fifth-century reflections on language, rhetoric, ethics, and politics (the so-called sophists and Socrates) and conclude with an appendix on philosophy and philosophers in Greek drama.

Both Jean and I confess to some disappointment that this week's repeat did not quite give what we thought it would.
These views look east from the Delmar Drive E. overpass above Highway 520 where it makes its approach or withdrawal from the Evergreen Floating Bridge. An enthusiastic amateur named Horace Sykes photographed the historical scene on the Monday afternoon of February 24, 1964, which was only a half-year after "the longest floating bridge in the world" first opened on August 28, 1963. Jean repeated it 45 years later to the day – on a Tuesday.
For estimating when in the afternoon Sykes recorded his Kodachrome slide, Jean and I studied the shadows cast on the pavement from the sturdy post, far right, supporting the sign. Agreeing on an estimate – sometime between 4 and 4:30 pm – we smiled and rubbed our hands with satisfaction. We expected that the solitary pickup heading west in Sykes photo would by now be joined by a commuter pack hurrying home like bumper cars in a carnival.
Jean arrived at four and waited – and waited. He recounts, "After standing at the railing for about twenty minutes I got a call from Susan Rohrer, of the State Capitol Museum in Olympia. I told her of my surprise that the traffic was so light and not as I expected it. She told me that her husband, who commutes to Seattle about three times a week, thinks the traffic has thinned as well, and wonders if the recession may be the cause of it all. Feeling consoled I snapped what was given and soon left the overpass a moment short of 4:30pm."
(We continue with a fascinating and related column about the Montlake Isthmus from August 8th, 1982. From Paul's first year at the Times, when he was just a kid with a crazy dream.)
Perhaps, no strip of regional real estate has engineered more dreams of empire than the isthmus that used to separate Lake Union from Lake Washington. From the beginning of white settlement it inspired local boosters to imagine the cornucopia of raw materials that would come spilling out of Lake Washington right to the back door of Seattle, once the cut could be made through that little ribbon of land.
The line of the first cut can be faintly see in in our turn-of-the-century panorama. (It was recorded from near where the photographs were taken for the linked story about the freeway in 1964 when it was nearly new.) The first cut diagonally passes through the isthmus at the center of the photograph. The Lake Washington side ingress is just right of the four small and two tall trees. Built in 1883 by Chinese labor under the pay of local promoters David Denny, Thomas Burke and others, it was designed for scooting logs from the big lake into the millpond on Portage Bay, and eventually on to the mills of Lake Union, David Denny's Western Mill at the south end of the lake included.
Our view continues east across that dividing land, part of today's Montlake neighborhood, to Lake Washington's Union Bay, which was then considerably larger than today and would stay so until the big lake was dropped 9 feet in 1916. Just beyond rises the largely denuded Laurelhurst peninsula, and in the distance, Kirkland can be seen across the lake.
Although this setting has its pastoral touches, the signs of development are almost everywhere. Not seen, but to the left of the photograph, is the town of Yesler. There, in the late 1880s, near the present site of the University's horticulture center, pioneer Henry Yesler put up a namesake mill. Most of Laurelhurst was possibly first clear-cut by Yesler's saws, then milled and finally shipped to market on the Seattle Lake Shore and Eastern Railroad. (That railroad's bed was later transformed into the Burke Gilman Recreational Path.) By 1887, Thomas Burke's railroad had reached both Ravenna and Yesler at the north end of Union Bay.
The lakes were first joined by name only on July 4, 1854. Most of Seattle gathered then to celebrate Independence Day on Thomas Mercer's claim near the southern end of a lake the Indians called "little water." Mercer proposed that the "big water" to the east be named "Washington," and that the little water on whose refreshing shores they were gathered be called "union." Someday, Mercer proclaimed, it would surely be the connection for an even greater union between that big lake and Puget Sound. The locals agreed, and from that moment on there was a recurrent agitation to consummate that union.
The first person to actually try it was Harvey Pike. He followed his father John Henry Pike to town in 1861. The elder Pike was employed to help design and build the then new Territorial University at the northeast corner of Fourth Avenue and Seneca Street. His son was given the job of painting the new school and his wage was a deed to part of this isthmus in present-day Montlake.
Harvey Pike actually tried to split his land in two with a simple pick, shovel and wheelbarrow. This, in the way of tools, was only a little more than Moses used to divide the Red Sea. But Harvey Pike had none of the divine aid, or in his case, federal subsidy, and so he had to give it up. The subsidy wouldn't come in large amounts until 1910 when a Rivers and Harbors Act passed by Congress included $2,750,000 for the construction of locks down at Shilshole, so long as King County agreed to finance and build the canal that would run from the locks to the "big lake," and the county consented.
When the channel between the two lakes was opened in 1916 the greatest change was not the opening of the hinterland to the opportunity and exploitation of military and industrial steamers, but rather the lowering of the lake and thereby exposing thousands of acres of fresh bottomland. When the contemporary canal from salt water to fresh was completed in 1917 its Montlake Cut was a few hundred feet north of Harvey Pike's strip of opportunity. And its primary traffic was, and still is, not ocean-going steamers but pleasure craft.

Tutorial Assets
Step 1
Begin by creating a 1500 x 2200px document at 300dpi. Fill the background layer with #c2c2c2.
Step 2
Here you can see the different parts that are needed for the coffee cup.
Step 3
Start by setting up some guide lines, one in the center vertically at 750px and one horizontal at 1100px.
Step 4
We will start by creating the cup. Make the side-outline of the cup with the Pen Tool, make sure it is set to paths and Add to path area ( + ). When one side is created, select it and press Cmd/Ctrl + Alt + T to make a copy, move the pivot-point to the center line and right click on the shape and choose Flip Horizontal. Create the bottom with the Ellipse Tool, click and hold on the vertical guide line and hold down Alt on the keyboard to make it symmetrical over the center line. Create a new solid layer out of the shapes and fill it with white (#ffffff) and name it cup.
Step 5
Repeat the same steps to create the label.
Step 6
The lid is made in the same way. Make sure when you create the bottom part of the lid to change it from Add to path area ( + ) to Subtract from path area (-).
Step 7
To create the inside of the lid, copy the bottom ellipse from the lid and change the shape to Add to path area ( + ), fill it with a grey (#adadad).
Step 8
Create the lid ring the same way as the cup, make sure that the bottom ellipse is the same size as the lid horizontal. Name it lid_ring.
Step 9
Now all of the parts needed for the coffee cup are created, you can now scale them so that the coffee cup is approximately 1100px high and 650px wide. Make sure your layers are in the same orders as those showed.
Step 10
Now it's time to make the parts come to life, we will start with cup. Create a shape that is slightly bigger than the cup. Make a gradient fill as showed bellow, create a new layer on top of the gradient fill and name it gradient. Select both the gradient fill and the new layer and press Cmd/Ctrl + E to merge them.
Free transform (Cmd/Ctrl + T) the layer so it follows the cups shape. With the layer selected hit ALT + Cmd/Ctrl + G to create a clipping mask. Now the gradient layer will only be visible where the cup is.
Step 11
With the Pen Tool, make a path beneath the cup that follows the cups bottom arc. Create a new layer on top of the gradient layer and name it bottom_shadow. Stroke the path with a soft brush with black (#000000). With the layer selected hit ALT + Cmd/Ctrl + G to create a clipping mask.
Step 12
To create the lid gradient do the same as for the cup, but when free transforming the shape switch from free transform to warp mode to be able to get the gradient layer to fit the lid shape. Don't forget to make a new layer and merge the gradient with it before transforming.
Step 13
The same way we made the bottom shadow on the cup we will make a bottom shadow on the lid. Name this layer lid_bottom_shadow.
We also need to create a top highlight, do the same way but use a white brush and name it top_highlight.
Step 14
Double click the lid_ring layer and make a gradient overlay as shows bellow, press OK and then right click on the layer and select create layers, this will result in a new layer on top of the lid_ring layer named lid_ring's Gradient Fill.
Step 15
Make a path with the Pen Tool that follows the bottom of the lid ring, make it so it deviates a little from the bottom in the ends. Create a new layer and name it bottom_shadow. With the new layer selected, stroke the path with a large soft black brush. Create one more layer and name it bottom_shadow_2 and stroke the path with a smaller brush. Change the opacity for the both layers down to 10% and make them so the lid ring is there clipping mask.
Step 16
Create a path that follows the lid rings bottom shape. Create a new layer on top of the top_highlight for the lid and name it lid_ring_bottom_shadow. Stroke the path with a black brush, go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian blur and set it to 6px. Change the opacity down to 30%.
Duplicate the layer and change its name to lid_ring_top_shadow and move it up so it becomes visible over the lid ring, change the opacity down to 18%. Make sure both layers have the lid as there clipping mask.
Step 17
Double click the lid_inside layer and create a gradient overlay.
Step 18
Now it's time to create the shadow on the cup from the label. Create a path where the label ends and a new layer on top of the bottom_shadow for the cup and name it label_bottom_shadow. Stroke the path with a black brush. Duplicate the layer and rename the new layer to label_bottom_shadow_2 and change the opacity to 10%. Select the first layer and go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian blur and make it a 10px blur, change the opacity down to 40%. Make sure both layers have the cup as there clipping mask.
Step 19
Create two new layers on top of the label layer and name them gradient_left and gradient_right. Set them to have the label as their clipping mask. With the Gradient Tool selected make the gradients as showed bellow. Change both layers blending mode to Multiply.
Step 20
To make the cup feel more "round" we will make some highlights on the side of the label. Create to paths on either side of the label and a new layer on top of the gradient layers and set it to have the label as its clipping mask and name it side_highlights. Stroke the paths with a soft white brush and set the blending mode of the layer to Soft Light.
Step 21
The lid will cast a shadow on the label, so start by creating a path with the Pen Tool as showed. Create a new layer on top of the side_highlights, name it lid_shadow and set it to have the label as its clipping mask.
Stroke the path and then blur it a bit and set the layers blending mode to Multiply and opacity to 25%
Step 22
Repeat Step 21 but name the layer lid_shadow_2.
Step 23
Now it's time to create the print for the label, create a path that is slightly bigger than the label and make it a solid color layer and fill it with a color of your choice and name it lable_print. Bring down the opacity of the layer so you can see what is underneath it. Put this layer direct above the label layer, this shall make the layer have the label layer as its clipping mask.
Right click the layer and select Convert to Smart Object. Now you are able to free transform the layer but by right clicking the layer and select Edit Content you will always be able to edit and update the layer as it where when it was converted to a smart object.
Hit Cmd/Ctrl + T to free transform the layer and then switch to Warp Mode and try to get the layer to look like showed bellow. It is important that both the horizontal and vertical lines are as showed, otherwise the label print will look bad.
Step 24
Right click the label_print layer and select Edit Content (or double click the preview window for the layer in the layer tab). This will bring up the label print in a new window. You can delete the solid color layer and import the pattern. Go to File > Save, this will update the smart object in the original file. Your cup should look something like the one showed below now.
If the print is distorted in a strange way you can always change the transformation you did in step 23, just hit Cmd/Ctrl + T and switch to Warp Mod.
Step 25
Go back to the label_print window. The text that will go on the label can be put wherever you want but to make the cup look more realistic don't put the text dead centered on the label. I have chosen to put it so it is goes out of frame.
You can put any kind of text here and also change the pattern to something else or use a solid color.
Step 26
To make the text look more like it's really on the cup we need to make some color variations on it. Start by making a new layer on top of the "large coffee"-text layer and name it gradient, with the Gradient Tool create a black gradient from the side almost all the way to the center line, make the layer so it has the large text as its clipping mask and set the opacity to 28%.
Create a new layer on top of the just created layer and name it highlight, with the gradient tool create a white gradient next to the side. Also mask it to the text layer.
Now do the exact same thing to the other text.
Step 27
Create a new layer on top of the pattern layer and name it highlight, make a brush stroke along the center line with a large soft white brush. Change the opacity of the layer down to 15%.
Duplicate the layer and add a layer mask, with the layer mask selected and the Gradient Tool make a black gradient from the bottom up to the center so the bottom part of the layer is faded down from full opacity to zero opacity at the bottom. Change the opacity of the layer to 20%.
Save and close the label_print layer, now the label is done.
Step 28
The side highlights on the label is to dark for this print so change the blending mode of the side_highlights to Screen and the opacity to 70%.
Step 29
To make the cup look like its actually standing on something it needs a shadow.
Go in to the cup layer and copy the bottom shape. Create a new fill layer with the just copied shape and name it shadow. Place it on top of the background layer. Go to Filter > Blur > Motion blur and make a 225px blur and then make a 6px Gaussian blur.
Duplicate the layer and stretch the first layer so the width is 120% and change the opacity down to 20%. Transform the other layer so it's width is reduced to 80% and change the opacity down to 60%.
Step 30
Select all of the layers except the background and hit Cmd/Ctrl + G to group them, rename the group to cup. Duplicate the cup group and hit Cmd/Ctrl + E to merge it. Transform the new layer so it is ca 60% of the original size and move it over to the left side.
To make the image look more interesting we will make it as it were photographed with a very short focus. Go to Filter > Blur > Lens blur set the radius to 21px and hit OK. Duplicate the layer and move the new cup to the other side.
Step 31
To add some details to the image we will create a stirrer.
Use the same technique as for the cup to create the stirrer, fill the layer and name it stirrer. Right click the layer and select Convert to Smart Object. Now it's time to place it so it looks like its laying besides the large cup, free transform it so it looks good. You can always go back and change it later if it looks weird.
Step 32
The stirrer should be made out of wood so here you can add a texture if you like or make the wood from scratch. We will be making the wood from scratch so you can put a "purely made in Photoshop" under you finished image.
Start by opening up the smart object and make a new solid color layer with the color #9f7948. Create a new layer on top of the solid color layer. Name it grains and go to Filter > Render > Clouds hit Cmd/Ctrl + T and stretch the layer so the height is ca 400%. Go to Filter > Blur > Motion blur and make a 200px blur with a ( + /-) 90 degree angle. Go in to Image > Adjustments > Posterize, choose level 20 and hit OK. Hit Cmd/Ctrl + L to bring up the levels for the layer and change them so the image gets more contrast. Now we need to add some fibers in to it. Go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise, put the amount to 50% and hit OK. Go to Filter > Blur > Motion blur and make a 10px blur with a (+/-) 90 degree angle. Change the blending mode of the layer to Multiply.
To add some depth to the grains duplicate the grains layer and rename it to highlights and invert it (Cmd/Ctrl + I). Hit Cmd/Ctrl + L and change the inputs levels to 75-1,0-140. Change the blending mode to Screen and the opacity to 50%. Put the layer beneath the grains layer and nudge it one pixel down and one to the right.
Select all of the created layers and make them so they have the stirrer shape as their clipping mask.
Step 33
Add a text or a shape to the stirrer and put in the layer properties showed below.
Save and close the stirrer smart object.
Step 34
Cmd/Ctrl click the layer preview window of the stirrer smart object to get the shape selected. Create a new layer beneath the stirrer and fill the selection with black. Duplicate the layer and name them stirrer_side and stirrer_shadow with the shadow layer on the bottom of the two.
Hit Cmd/Ctrl + T to free transform the both layers and nudge them down to create the thickness of the stirrer, you might want to skew it a little bit so the far end is thinner.
Select the stirre_side layer and with a black brush with hardness set to 100%, paint in the missing ends so the sides connects to the stirrer. Double click the layer to bring up the layer properties and make a color overlay. Right click on the layer effects and select create layers.
Create a new layer on top of the stirrer_side layer and name it highlights and mask it to the stirrer_side. With a soft white brush paint in some highlights on the side, just create some variations in the color. Change the blending mode to Overlay for the layer.
Step 35
To add some highlights to the top of the stirrer create a new layer on top of the stirrer smart object layer and set it to mask down to the stirrer. Take a large (>1000px) white brush and make a dot in the middle of the stirrer. Change the opacity to 58% and blending mode to Screen.
Duplicate the highlights layer and put it beneath it, change the blending mode to Overlay and opacity to 20%. Nudge it down towards to left end of the stirrer.
To add some more highlights make a bevel and emboss on the stirrer smart object layer, change the shadow settings so they are the same as the highlights so you get highlights all the way around.
Step 36
Select the stirrer_shadow layer and add a Motion blur and a Gaussian blur to get the shadow correct.
Step 37
Add a new guide, this will be the horizontal line for the image. Create a new layer on top of the background and name it highlight and make a large Radial Gradient in the center.
Duplicate the layer and rename the two layers to highlight_bottom and highlight_top. Mask off the two layers so they only can be seen in their respective area (as showed below).
Unlink the layer mask and the layer on highlight_top and transform the highlight so it reaches the top of the image and change the opacity to 90%. When done re-link the layer mask with the layer.
Step 38
Create a solid color black layer and mask of some of the image as showed below and change the opacity of the layer down to 30%. Name it low_light.
Finish the image by adding a frame and some text, also put a label in the top corner.

This Weekend's Winner: No surprise that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (No. 1 with just shy of $85 million) ruled them all on its debut weekend. But what is a bit, well, unexpected, is that it didn't do even better.
This Weekend's Loser: It's not quite fair to call Life of Pi (No. 5 with $5.4 million, a decrease of a third of last week's audience) a loser — yet. But the hugely expensive Ang Lee film has grossed just $69.6 million here in the States, and may wind up a money loser for Fox unless international grosses end up picking up the slack. The next couple of weeks will be crucial, especially in China, where Pi has become the second U.S. film (behind the 3=D version of Titanic) to gross more in that nation than in America.
How It All Went Down: Lost in all the usual box-office hyperventilating about record-breaking grosses — Why, it's the biggest December Friday opening ever! etc., etc. — is the fact that there are only two numbers that truly matter: what The Hobbit cost to make, and what it ultimately will gross.
The true cost of The Hobbit may not ever be knowable, but two knowledgeable insiders surmise that it approaches $300 million just to make the movie. More, its financial prospects are certainly complicated by the fact that so many moguls will be just that much richer for having had their fingerprints on it at some point. Not just its actual filmmakers Jackson and Walsh, but former producers like its almost-director Guillermo del Toro, Saul Zaentz, Harvey Weinstein, and even the Tolkien estate must all have their palms crossed with silver first.
As a result, Vulture's go-to gaggle of experts is surprisingly divided on its long-term prospects. "This could still be one of those situations where, like King Kong, it grosses over $550 million worldwide and still loses money," cautioned one insider familiar with the costly fantasy project's path to production.
But one former studio marketing chief counters, "I'd take $85 million for one third of a film — even with $13 million of it on midnights [midnight showings]. It is going to play through the holidays, and nothing else is going to come close."
Still, it's worth pointing out that while $222 million in worldwide grosses is hardly dwarf potatoes, it is also a bit underwhelming compared with both what was expected for The Hobbit given the size and renown of the Lord of the Rings franchise: Its opening weekend ranks only 37th in terms of all-time opening weekends, and even fell short of 2003's The Return of the King, which grossed almost $91 million when adjusted for inflation. Indeed, just a month ago, the new James Bond film Skyfall opened in some 500 fewer theaters but still grossed $3 million more than The Hobbit.
Which raises the question, how come? One rival studio chief elucidated three compelling arguments against bigger box office for Bilbo. "One, backlash at 48 frames from the core audience right outta the gate," opined this chief, suggesting that there is such a thing as "too lifelike" for a fantasy-obsessed audience. "Two, poor reviews, and three, it looks like a remake not a new adventure. For example, if I weren't already a Hobbit fan, its marketing didn't tell me why I should be excited about this new adventure."
(To which we'll add that it's also worth noting The Hobbit carries an extravagant two-hour-and-50-minute run time, making squeezing in an extra showing hard to impossible for theaters.)
Meanwhile, back in reality, serious adult drama — long thought to be an endangered species on the verge of extinction — is doing tremendously well this holiday season: Spielberg's Lincoln (No. 3 with $7.2 million) and Affleck's Argo have both reached over $100 million in domestic grosses, and Zemeckis's Flight will likely do so before Christmas arrives.

A Civil War era fashion show will be held during the Lewis County Historical Society meeting on Monday, March 4, 7 pm, at the Strand Theatre, 100 East Main St., in Hohenwald, Tennessee.
Presented by the Confederate Belles of Tennessee, the fashions and manners of the Civil War years strongly reflected the Victorian era when modesty was the rule of the day. The fashionable silhouette of the 1861-1865 period focused on the tightly laced corseted bodice with the waistline resting at the natural waist, voluminous elaborately trimmed skirts worn over crinolines and hoop petticoats, long full sleeves with engageantes and high demure necklines. Lavishly decorated bonnets and hats complimented the ensemble. There was an infinite variety of designs and construction details, particularly in ladies apparel, in the 1860s.
The Civil War era fashion show will begin with "underpinnings", which are the layers of proper undergarments worn by the Victorian lady. Models will be wearing ensembles complete with jewelry, gloves, fans, reticules, hats, bonnets, headdresses and parasols. The different dress styles to be shown include tea gowns, day dresses, work dresses, altered and retrimmed dresses, sheer and summer gown, Garibaldi influenced apparel, the Polonaise style gored dress, dinner gowns and wedding gowns. Men's fashion will include military uniforms and civilian attires.
Everyone planning to attend this free event will be dazzled with an array of ball gowns and evening wear, including a replica of a gown worn by Varina Howell Davis during her husband's Presidential years.
Mark your calendars and make plans to attend. The fashion show is a prelude to the events of April 19-21, when Civil War re-enactors will settle in Hohenwald on the Lewis County Courthouse lawn, located at 110 Park Ave. N. Hosted by Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 559 & Confederate Belles of Tennessee, the 19th Alabama civilian group encampment will take place on Friday, April 19. A day of living history can be enjoyed by all from 9 am until 3 pm. Local and area schools are planning a day of field trips to visit this remarkable event.
Armies of Tennessee will set up for events on Saturday and Sunday, April 20 & 21. On Saturday at 9 am, the public is invited to the Color Guard Presentation & Memorial Service. Another day of living history will occur 11 am until 4 pm, with a special event, Skirmish of Little Swan Creek, an Armies of Tennessee event, to be presented at 2 pm. A ball will take place at the community building located at Memorial Park at 7 pm. The public is invited, but must be dressed in period clothing in order to participate. On Sunday, the day begins at 11 am with an authentic church service. A third day of living history will take place until 4 pm. Skirmish of Little Swan Creek will once again be re-enacted at 2 pm.
For more information on these free events, please contact Hohenwald/Lewis County Chamber of Commerce at 931-796-4084 or go to www.hohenwaldlewischamber.com.

Canada just passed a major overhaul to their marijuana laws. But do not light up your bud in celebration just yet. This overhaul was intended as a way to expand the adoption of medical marijuana in Canada and set the stage for recreational use in July of 2018.
While the Dude can abide legally in a lot of places in the U.S., Canada is more federated and they provinces move south from their border.
But whatever your opinion on whether or not rolling up a joint Canadian Marijuana stocks have gone up recently. So, it begs the question: should you invest in Canadian marijuana stocks now that things are moving toward legalization?
The answer depends on who you talk to. So let's examine each side so you have all the tools to make your decision.
1. Do not Buy Canadian Marijuana Stocks Because There Will Be Competition
If you're at all familiar with economics, you'll know that when supply is low and demand is high it's a full on seller's market. You can charge high prices and make a ton of money.
But when more suppliers come on the market, you have to drop your prices and you might not make as much money. With the possibility of recreational marijuana becoming legal and the expansion of medical marijuana in Canada, more people are going to open up dispensaries.
If you can find online dispensary Canada stock, you may be safer because those will be hyper-regulated. But even then, the new regulations mean a spike in demand and even more government backing for new dispensaries.
In fact, according to the Canadian government, the number of eligible Marijuana patients has increased by 10% and sales have grown roughly 16% per month. We can speculate that with the government reporting on these things, they are aware and will be more willing to license and approve more dispensaries soon.
2. Do Buy Canadian Marijuana Stocks Because There Will Be Massive Demand
If we can divert our eyes from Canada for a moment and look south toward the ruddy state of Colorado in the United States, we'll see that a green rush is a great thing for investors.
Colorado saw massive growth in both medical and recreational stocks after they legalized. Even if most jurisdictions did not get on board with the trend right away.
Now Colorado is booming. But competition from Canada and now Mexico will stifle their market. Which means you should continue to look at Canada as the next boom marijuana market.
Back in March of 2017, Marijuana stocks in Canada were up 290% from the previous year and the market seems stable and possibly growing. And with good news coming out of Ottawa, it's possible cannabis stocks will grow exponentially over the next year.

To Whom It May Concern; I wish to make you cognizant of my family's experience with Ottawa-Carleton Mortgage Inc. Our mortgage was up for renewal and we had never thoroughly enjoyed past dealings with the banks. We often felt our needs came second to the bank's well-being. We rarely got their best rates up front, and often needed to haggle. This time we decided to try something different, and explore the "mortgage brokers".
I encourage mortgage consumers to abrogate visiting banks, and rather consult with true professionals who will work for you. Even their offices are more refreshing, and less intimidating than the banks.

.NET Framework Support for Microsoft Store Apps and Windows Runtime
The .NET Framework 4.5 supports a number of software development scenarios with the Windows Runtime. These scenarios fall into three categories:
Developing Windows 8.x Store apps with XAML controls, as described in Roadmap for Windows Store apps using C# or Visual Basic, How tos (XAML), and .NET for Windows Store apps overview.
Developing class libraries to use in the Windows 8.x Store apps that you create with the .NET Framework.
Developing Windows Runtime Components, packaged in .WinMD files, that can be used by any programming language that supports the Windows Runtime. For example, see Creating Windows Runtime Components in C# and Visual Basic.
This article outlines the support that the .NET Framework provides for all three categories, and describes the scenarios for Windows Runtime Components. The first section includes basic information about the relationship between the .NET Framework and the Windows Runtime, and explains some oddities you might encounter in the Help system and the IDE. The second section discusses scenarios for developing Windows Runtime Components.
The Basics
The .NET Framework supports the three development scenarios listed earlier by providing .NET for Windows 8.x Store apps, and by supporting the Windows Runtime itself.
.NET Framework and Windows Runtime namespaces provides a streamlined view of the .NET Framework class libraries and include only the types and members you can use to create Windows 8.x Store apps and Windows Runtime Components.
When you use Visual Studio (Visual Studio 2012 or later) to develop a Windows 8.x Store app or a Windows Runtime component, a set of reference assemblies ensures that you see only the relevant types and members.
This streamlined API set is simplified further by the removal of features that are duplicated within the .NET Framework or that duplicate Windows Runtime features. For example, it contains only the generic versions of collection types, and the XML document object model is eliminated in favor of the Windows Runtime XML API set.
Features that simply wrap the operating system API are also removed, because the Windows Runtime is easy to call from managed code.
To read more about the .NET for Windows 8.x Store apps, see the .NET for Windows Store apps overview. To read about the API selection process, see the .NET for Metro style apps entry in the .NET blog.
The Windows Runtime provides the user interface elements for building Windows 8.x Store apps, and provides access to operating system features. Like the .NET Framework, the Windows Runtime has metadata that enables the C# and Visual Basic compilers to use the Windows Runtime the way they use the .NET Framework class libraries. The .NET Framework makes it easier to use the Windows Runtime by hiding some differences:
Some differences in programming patterns between the .NET Framework and the Windows Runtime, such as the pattern for adding and removing event handlers, are hidden. You simply use the .NET Framework pattern.
Some differences in commonly used types (for example, primitive types and collections) are hidden. You simply use the .NET Framework type, as discussed in Differences That Are Visible in the IDE, later in this article.
Most of the time, .NET Framework support for the Windows Runtime is transparent. The next section discusses some of the apparent differences between managed code and the Windows Runtime.
The .NET Framework and the Windows Runtime Reference Documentation
The Windows Runtime and the .NET Framework documentation sets are separate. If you press F1 to display Help on a type or member, reference documentation from the appropriate set is displayed. However, if you browse through the Windows Runtime reference you might encounter examples that seem puzzling:
Topics such as the IIterable<T> interface don't have declaration syntax for Visual Basic or C#. Instead, a note appears above the syntax section (in this case, ".NET: This interface appears as System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T>"). This is because the .NET Framework and the Windows Runtime provide similar functionality with different interfaces. In addition, there are behavioral differences:
IIterablehas a
Firstmethod instead of a GetEnumerator method to return the enumerator. Instead of forcing you to learn a different way of performing a common task, the .NET Framework supports the Windows Runtime by making your managed code appear to use the type you're familiar with. You won't see the
IIterableinterface in the IDE, and therefore the only way you'll encounter it in the Windows Runtime reference documentation is by browsing through that documentation directly.
The SyndicationFeed(String, String, Uri) documentation illustrates a closely related issue: Its parameter types appear to be different for different languages. For C# and Visual Basic, the parameter types are System.String and System.Uri. Again, this is because the .NET Framework has its own
Uritypes, and for such commonly used types it doesn't make sense to force .NET Framework users to learn a different way of doing things. In the IDE, the .NET Framework hides the corresponding Windows Runtime types.
In a few cases, such as the GridLength structure, the .NET Framework provides a type with the same name but more functionality. For example, a set of constructor and property topics are associated with
GridLength, but they have syntax blocks only for Visual Basic and C# because the members are available only in managed code. In the Windows Runtime, structures have only fields. The Windows Runtime structure requires a helper class, GridLengthHelper, to provide equivalent functionality. You won't see that helper class in the IDE when you're writing managed code.
In the IDE, Windows Runtime types appear to derive from System.Object. They appear to have members inherited from Object, such as Object.ToString. These members operate as they would if the types actually inherited from Object, and Windows Runtime types can be cast to Object. This functionality is part of the support that the .NET Framework provides for the Windows Runtime. However, if you view the types in the Windows Runtime reference documentation, no such members appear. The documentation for these apparent inherited members is provided by the System.Object reference documentation.
Differences That Are Visible in the IDE
In more advanced programming scenarios, such as using a Windows Runtime component written in C# to provide the application logic for a Windows 8.x Store app built for Windows using JavaScript, such differences are apparent in the IDE as well as in the documentation. When your component returns an
IDictionary<int, string> to JavaScript, and you look at it in the JavaScript debugger, you'll see the methods of
IMap<int, string> because JavaScript uses the Windows Runtime type. Some commonly used collection types that appear differently in the two languages are shown in the following table:
|Windows Runtime type
|Corresponding .NET Framework type
IMap<K, V>
IDictionary<TKey, TValue>
IMapView<K, V>
IReadOnlyDictionary<TKey, TValue>
In the Windows Runtime,
IMap<K, V> and
IMapView<K, V> are iterated using
IKeyValuePair. When you pass them to managed code, they appear as
IDictionary<TKey, TValue> and
IReadOnlyDictionary<TKey, TValue>, so naturally you use
System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> to enumerate them.
The way interfaces appear in managed code affects the way types that implement these interfaces appear. For example, the
PropertySet class implements
IMap<K, V>, which appears in managed code as
IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.
PropertySet appears as if it implemented
IDictionary<TKey, TValue> instead of
IMap<K, V>, so in managed code it appears to have an
Add method, which behaves like the
Add method on .NET Framework dictionaries. It doesn't appear to have an
Insert method.
For more information about using the .NET Framework to create a Windows Runtime component, and a walkthrough that shows how to use such a component with JavaScript, see Creating Windows Runtime Components in C# and Visual Basic.
Primitive Types
To enable the natural use of the Windows Runtime in managed code, .NET Framework primitive types appear instead of Windows Runtime primitive types in your code. In the .NET Framework, primitive types like the
Int32 structure have many useful properties and methods, such as the
Int32.TryParse method. By contrast, primitive types and structures in the Windows Runtime have only fields. When you use primitives in managed code, they appear to be .NET Framework types, and you can use the properties and methods of the .NET Framework types as you normally would. The following list provides a summary:
For the Windows Runtime primitives
String(an immutable collection of Unicode characters),
UInt64, and
Guid, use the type of the same name in the
UInt8, use
Char16, use
For the
IInspectableinterface, use
HRESULT, use a structure with one
As with interface types, the only time you might see evidence of this representation is when your .NET Framework project is a Windows Runtime component that is used by a Windows 8.x Store app built using JavaScript.
Other basic, commonly used Windows Runtime types that appear in managed code as their .NET Framework equivalents include the
Windows.Foundation.DateTime structure, which appears in managed code as the System.DateTimeOffset structure, and the
Windows.Foundation.TimeSpan structure, which appears as the System.TimeSpan structure.
Other Differences
In a few cases, the fact that .NET Framework types appear in your code instead of Windows Runtime types requires action on your part. For example, the Windows.Foundation.Uri class appears as System.Uri in .NET Framework code. System.Uri allows a relative URI, but Windows.Foundation.Uri requires an absolute URI. Therefore, when you pass a URI to a Windows Runtime method, you must ensure that it's absolute. See Passing a URI to the Windows Runtime.
Scenarios for Developing Windows Runtime Components
The scenarios that are supported for managed Windows Runtime Components depend on the following general principles:
Windows Runtime Components that are built using the .NET Framework have no apparent differences from other Windows Runtimelibraries. For example, if you re-implement a native Windows Runtime component by using managed code, the two components are outwardly indistinguishable. The fact that your component is written in managed code is invisible to the code that uses it, even if that code is itself managed code. However, internally, your component is true managed code and runs on the common language runtime (CLR).
Components can contain types that implement application logic, Windows 8.x Store UI controls, or both.
It's good practice to separate UI elements from application logic. Also, you can't use Windows 8.x Store UI controls in a Windows 8.x Store app built for Windows using JavaScript and HTML.
A component can be a project within a Visual Studio solution for a Windows 8.x Store app, or a reusable component that you can add to multiple solutions.
If your component will be used only with C# or Visual Basic, there's no reason to make it a Windows Runtime component. If you make it an ordinary .NET Framework class library instead, you don't have to restrict its public API surface to Windows Runtime types.
You can release versions of reusable components by using the Windows Runtime VersionAttribute attribute to identify which types (and which members within a type) were added in different versions.
The types in your component can derive from Windows Runtime types. Controls can derive from the primitive control types in the Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Primitives namespace or from more finished controls such as Button.
Starting with Windows 8 and the .NET Framework 4.5, all public types in a managed Windows Runtime component must be sealed. A type in another Windows Runtime component can't derive from them. If you want to provide polymorphic behavior in your component, you can create an interface and implement it in the polymorphic types.
All parameter and return types on the public types in your component must be Windows Runtime types (including the Windows Runtime types that your component defines).
The following sections provide examples of common scenarios.
Application Logic for a Windows 8.x Store App with JavaScript
When you develop a Windows 8.x Store app for Windows using JavaScript, you might find that some parts of the application logic perform better in managed code, or are easier to develop. JavaScript can't use .NET Framework class libraries directly, but you can make the class library a .WinMD file. In this scenario, the Windows Runtime component is an integral part of the app, so it doesn't make sense to provide version attributes.
Reusable Windows 8.x Store UI Controls
You can package a set of related UI controls in a reusable Windows Runtime component. The component can be marketed on its own or used as an element in the apps you create. In this scenario, it makes sense to use the Windows Runtime VersionAttribute attribute to improve compatibility.
Reusable Application Logic from Existing .NET Framework Apps

Andrzej Bojanowski, the deputy mayor of Gdansk – one of the four Polish host cities of Euro 2012 – gave football fans, visitors and residents a rather uncomfortable welcome during a radio interview on Tuesday.
Poland's image is already under the scrutiny of sport-lovers globally, following aggressive Russian-Polish brawls, alleged "monkey chants" directed at Italy's Mario Balotelli, and apparent abuse hurled at the Czech Republic's Theodor Gebre Selassie elsewhere in the country. And Bojanowski's choice of words, when praising the honorable residents of Gdansk, has only made things worse.
(MORE: Racism and Euro 2012: Football's Ongoing Struggle)
He explained in the live radio broadcast: "I thank residents and city employees for behaving like normal civilized white people toward our guests who have in turn also behaved like normal white people."
Unsurprisingly, the deputy mayor hastily apologized that day after coming under fire from many horrified listeners. An official from the Foundation for Freedom, a Polish anti-racism group, told Agence France-Presse that this was "an example of the extent to which stereotypes and xenophobia are rooted in the mentality and language" of Poland — although the group claimed they did not believe any offence had been intended.
Backtracking in a local newspaper, Bojanowski wrote: "I apologize to anyone I may have hurt with the clumsy phrasing I used this morning in a live broadcast. I simply wanted to thank residents and guests, whatever the color of their skin."
