Look up and down the Broncos' roster and the mistakes of drafts past are obvious.
They are obvious in the dearth of starters drafted by the Broncos, by the abundance of over-30 players who ended up in Denver through free agency, signed after starting their careers elsewhere.
So as the Broncos' brain trust calls in its draft picks, starting with the No. 2 pick Thursday evening, consider it an exercise in trying not to repeat past errors.
"I think that it's important for us to, especially with where we are, and where we are as a football team, that we be very precise and really hit on those guys and the picks that we have," said John Elway, executive vice president of football operations. "We have to have those guys."
Josh McDaniels ran two drafts in his brief tenure as head coach. He made four first-round picks — with only one full-time starter among them — and ultimately cut or traded five other players taken in those drafts.
Only eight players drafted by Mike Shanahan since 2004 remain on the team today, and three of those were from his final class in 2008. The biggest problem was that too many first- rounders from the 2000s, from Willie Middlebrooks in 2001 to George Foster in 2003 to Jarvis Moss in 2007, failed to pan out.
Elway and coach John Fox are new, of course, but general manager Brian Xanders worked for both Shanahan (he was hired just after Shanahan's last draft in 2008) and with McDaniels. Most of the team's scouts, both on the college and professional sides, survived at least one, if not both, of the firings of the last two head coaches.
The unspoken message from the top of the Broncos' organization was this: We believe in the process that has been in place.
There have been noticeable changes, however — none more visible than what was on display last week, when, for the first time in team history, it was front-office executives giving the annual predraft news conference and not the head coach.
Elway and Xanders sat side-by-side in sports coats and talked for 40 minutes, not quite finishing each other's sentences, but they were in clear agreement on every answer about every prospect and every aspect of the team's draft process.
"This year has been a lot more inclusive," Xanders said.
Implied, of course, was that previous drafts had been exclusive, with one person having a louder and more powerful voice than all others. And that was the voice of the head coach — first Shanahan, then McDaniels.
Meanwhile, Fox was elsewhere inside Dove Valley meeting with draft prospects. His absence was carefully planned, and the fact that he didn't talk was a loud statement in itself.
Meeting rooms have been crowded inside Dove Valley this spring as the coaching staff and personnel staff created their position-by-position rankings, and ultimately, finalized their complete draft board.
That group, which included Elway, Xanders and Fox as well as the top guy from the team's college and professional scouting departments, worked late into Wednesday night to rank prospects from No. 1 to No. 190. They may make minor changes in the next couple of days, but the major task is completed.
"It has been an open forum, and there have probably been a few more people involved in the process," said Matt Russell, director of college scouting. "I think when we do draft, and we do take a player, there will be more opinions heard."
While he doesn't have the ultimate authority like his predecessors did here, Fox is involved in a major way, especially in the evaluation of defensive players and how they would each fit into the 4-3 scheme Fox is bringing with him from Carolina.
"You're not always going to agree, but I think you can agree to disagree. But we're all in," Fox said. "I've had that kind of relationship in the past in Carolina, and I sense that kind of relationship here in Denver."
Fox had a solid relationship with Carolina general manager Marty Hurney through much of Fox's nine-year tenure with the Panthers. Fox's relationship with the front office cooled in his final years, though, as the franchise, which wanted to go younger, and Fox didn't always agree on philosophy. The Panthers drafted quarterback Jimmy Clausen last year, a pick that worked out so poorly that Carolina could take a quarterback (Cam Newton) with the No. 1 overall pick this year.
Elway, as the top football executive, has the authority to make the final call on any draft pick, but he said Wednesday that if there is any player on whom he, Xanders and Fox can't agree, then "maybe he's not the right guy."
Everyone who will be in the Broncos' draft room Thursday — a larger group than in previous years — knows anything can happen when teams around the league start moving up and down the draft board via trades. The Broncos figure to be a part of those discussions, as they consider moving back from the No. 2 pick Thursday or trading one of their two second-round picks Friday to acquire more picks.
When the draft havoc starts, it will be important for the Broncos' pickers to stay true to their process, Russell said.
"I think at this point, poise is critical. You don't want to outsmart yourself. Had so much time to get things to where you feel right about them," Russell said. "You look at your board and by Tuesday night, we should be able to say we've looked hard at them, this is how we see them, and this is how we're going to roll with it."

Key misses
Among the things Mike Shanahan and Josh McDaniels have in common — aside from being fired by Broncos owner Pat Bowlen — is their questionable draft picks in the past decade. NFL reporter Lindsay H. Jones analyzes some controversial picks and major misses:
Under Shanahan
CB Willie Middlebrooks, No. 24, 2001: Spent four forgettable seasons in Denver, and his career ended without a single interception.
RB Maurice Clarett, No. 101, 2005: Shanahan shocked everyone by taking Clarett, the troubled one-year Ohio State star, at the end of the third round. Clarett arrived at camp overweight and out of shape, didn't make the team and later ended up in federal prison.
DE Jarvis Moss, No. 17, 2007: The Broncos moved up to pick Moss, a speed pass rusher from Florida who they thought would fit defensive coordinator Jim Bates' scheme. Moss broke his leg midway through his rookie year, Bates was fired, and Moss had only 3 1/2 career sacks by the time he was cut last November.
Under McDaniels
RB Knowshon Moreno, No. 12, 2009: Moreno was a surprise choice for McDaniels' first-ever pick. Moreno has been the team's starter for two years but has yet to rush for 1,000 yards in a season and has only two 100-yard games.
CB Alphonso Smith, No. 37, 2009: The Broncos traded a first-round pick in 2010 to move up to take Smith early in the second round. He got passed for the nickel spot as a rookie and, on the roster bubble last summer, he was traded to Detroit for tight end Dan Gronkowski (a seventh-rounder in 2009) before the regular season.
CB Perrish Cox, No. 137, 2010: Cox was a pleasant surprise on the field as a rookie last year, but the character concerns that caused him to slip to the fifth round re-emerged after he was charged with multiple counts of felony sexual assault.

After temporarily acquiring Portuguese 'possessions' in Flores and islands immediately to the east in 1851, the Netherlands East Indies took full possession in 1859. An important condition guaranteed religious freedom to Catholics in the transferred territories. Dutch authorities took this concession seriously and requested that Dutch Catholic missionaries be sent to Larantuka, Flores. Eventually the Jesuits assumed responsibility. The Dutch Catholic priests objected to many aspects of local ceremonial practice and in particular to the local temples. Their efforts to abolish these temples and practices involved them in local disputes and eventually in a war. This article examines the complexities of the resulting events and in particular the tensions among the priests, colonial authorities and local leadership.

Vintage conditionsTo a person, every California winemaker was delighted with
the 2013 growing year and harvest. After the previous three difficult years
during which nature wreaked havoc leading up to harvest, a warm September and
dry October allowed late-ripening Zinfandel to fully develop and be picked
under optimal conditions which delivered balanced, flavor-packed wines.
Tasting notesThe 2013 Ministry of the Vinterior Dry Creek Valley
Zinfandel is a charismatic example of varietal in perfect harmony with its
growing region. This extroverted, but restrained Zinfandel throws
heady aromas of white peach, guava, bright red raspberry, and
varietally-characteristic black pepper out of the glass. In the mouth, the wine
is soft and luscious, with flavors of raspberry jam, milk chocolate, and smoky
roasted coffee intermingling with sweet, mouth-filling tannins. Enjoy this
flirty wine with your best slow-cooled pulled pork, dripping with smoky BBQ
sauce and served with buttered corn on the cob and an arugula salad with
pancetta and figs.
Aging: 20 months in new and once-used French and American

As we've all heard, it's up in the air whether "Scrubs" will return for another season. Tonight, we got a preview of what that season might look like – a vision of Sacred Heart through the eyes of the interns. And I gotta say, though it was a bit scattered, it was far from terrible.
JD is being treated with a "newfound sense of respect" thanks to his role as the guy who gets Dr. Cox to say, well…"no," most of the time. But, um, at least he asks? Turk is perhaps a little jealous (or, more likely, irritated by JD's newly huge head – what kind of person actually takes a comparison between themselves and Martin Luther King, Jr. as anything BUT sarcasm?), but they don't really take it too far.
Most of the focus tonight is on the interns – as it's a "Their Story" episode, we hear their thoughts and, more hilariously, see their fantasies instead of JD's. Denise's story was the highlight for me. I love her character in the first place, especially now that they've toned down the unfeelingness towards patients, but hearing her bitingly sarcastic thoughts made me feel especially good about the prospect of a "Scrubs: The New Class" scenario next year. Denise convinces Elliot to do a biopsy on a patient that wasn't necessary in the end, and her fantasy version of Elliot's venerable "I Told You So" dance – spiced up with French AND the splits – was probably the high point of my day. And though it is better in Denise's head, I'm glad to see that Elliot jazzed up the real version with The Robot.
So I totally love Sunny. At first I wasn't sure – she seemed annoyingly, relentlessly happy. And while this is still true, she's grown on me. And thus, shame on the Janitor for crushing that (albeit temporarily) by calling her weak. Shaaame! Also shame on the totally weak payoff for the "hypnotized by the word 'popsicle'" prank. I think we both know you could've done better than that, buddy. My forgiveness can be bought for the price of one motorized supply cart. But only if it brings me iced tea, too.
As a bonus, tonight we were introduced to Derek, a new surgical intern. He spends most of his first day getting between JD and Turk, biting his tongue while thinking of cutting remarks, and being generally a little boring. But I found myself cheering for him when he finally snapped, speaking truth to power and shaking things up, Jordan-style. Turk receives the worst of it, getting called a "giant bald seven-year-old who's obsessed with his best friend." Yeah, that's pretty spot-on. But hey, that's why we love him! And Derek is now a member of the Sacred Heart family…perhaps an important one come next year's hypothetical ninth season.

Today`s upbeat economy is reflected in the nation`s home decor through the use of bright colors accented with blacks and whites. The resulting effect is eye-catching and demonstrates a sense of self-assuredness, according to a Fort Lauderdale interior designer.
Susan Lachance, president of Susan Lachance Interior Design, said that popular ``brights`` in 1986 include vivid red, yellow, turquoise, magenta, and purple alternating with black and white accents. Pastels and greys are still popular, but are best used in muted shades for a subtle effect, balancing the ``brights.``
Interior furnishings have evolved from the idea that ``everything must match`` to a more modern eclectic mix of treasured collectibles. Years ago, residential furnishings illustrated a strict confinement to a select period or style. A particular period was carried through in all of the living areas, including the formal living room, den, bedrooms, kitchen and entertainment areas.
Today`s home buyer, Lachance says, is more confident about ``style,`` and easily adapts an eclectic approach to home furnishing incorporating a variety of styles and period furnishings blended to create a one-of-a-kind personal environment.
``We are seeing owners highlight their residences with collectible art pieces demonstrating an appreciation of ancestral or lineal ties. Today`s family has many more personal items or memorabilia incorporated into the interior design of its personal residence,`` she said.
When planning the interior of a developer`s model, the goal is to illustrate a functional, yet ``decorator`` approach, that is targeted to the prospective buyer profile. For example, a ``yuppie`` community would depict carefree living in a functional format with emphasis on easy entertaining.
The design of a model at a single-family home community where the prospective buyer is somewhat settled with the responsibilities of a growing family will focus on informal family areas with extensive media equipment for casual family enjoyment, she noted.

Transport Canada proposes upgraded rail tanker standards
New TC-117 cars would have improved valves and thicker shields at end of tanker
Transport Canada proposed new federal regulations for a safer standard of rail tank car this week, as a House of Commons committee tabled recommendations for improving safety around the transportation of dangerous goods.
The proposed regulations will give shippers until 2025 to upgrade rail tank cars, a transition that would come almost 30 years after serious deficiencies in the fleet were first identified.
Shippers will be required to upgrade tank cars to a standard called TC-117, making them more resistant to punctures and valve failures in the case of derailment or collisions.
The standard includes improved shields at the top of the tank car to better cover the pressure release valve from damage in a derailment. A full shield to protect both ends of a tank car from puncture would also become mandatory.
- Tanker cars under scrutiny after spilling oil in recent derailments
- Pipelines vs. trains: Which is better for moving oil?
A thermal shell to better shield tank cars from fire would also become mandatory and steel used to build the cars would be thickened.
The changes all flow from the deadly crash of an unmanned oil train in Lac-Megantic, Que., in July 2013 that claimed 47 lives and incinerated the town's downtown core.
But concerns over the old DOT-111 tank car — the workhorse of the North American fleet — date back to at least 1996, when the Transportation Safety Board of Canada reported that "in general, Class 111A tank cars do not have sufficient protection against punctures, even in a low-speed impact, due to the thinness of the tank shell and the absence of a head shield."
The proposed changes come as the House of Commons transport committee released a report today on the transportation of dangerous goods and Canada's safety regime.
New recommendations
The committee's report, published online and unveiled at a news conference in Ottawa, makes 10 recommendations, over half of which are aimed directly at rail transport.
The first recommendation is that Transport Canada "ensure that it has an adequate number" of inspectors for its oversight role over dangerous goods and overall rail safety. The report does not suggest a specific number.
Currently, Transport Canada employs 117 rail safety inspectors and 88 dangerous goods inspectors, according to committee member Jeff Watson, an Ontario MP who spoke at the news conference this morning.
The report also recommends all DOT-111 tank cars currently in use meet "enhanced standards," and these enhancements, as well as the phase-in of the TC-117 tank cars, be harmonized with the United States because of the "North American character" of the railway system.
The U.S. has so far declined to lay out a timeline for replacing DOT-111 tank cars, however, and has not publicly committed to such a move. Watson, the MP for the Windsor-area riding of Essex, said this morning that federal Transport Minster Lisa Raitt is in talks with her American counterpart, but no concrete agreements have been established.
Similarly, the report recommends that Transport Canada implement on-board voice and video recording devices on trains, a move that rail worker unions have vehemently opposed in the past.
String of recent derailments
A booming oil-by-rail business and a number of high-profile derailments have compounded the danger over the last five years.
In the last month alone, four trains carrying crude oil have derailed in Canada and the United States, sparking major fires, polluting waterways and forcing some evacuations.
There have been three recent CN Rail derailments in northern Ontario, including two along a stretch of track about an hour south of Timmins, near the village of Gogama.
A CN train also derailed Wednesday evening near the Manitoba community of Gregg, about 50 kilometres east of Brandon. CN spokesman Brent Kossey said there were no reports of injuries but provided no information on what cargo was in the derailed cars.

Gravity (2013) Film Review from the 57th Annual BFI London Film Festival (LFF), a movie directed by Alfonso Cuaron, starring Sandra Bullock, George Clooney, Ed Harris, Orto Ignatiussen, Paul Scharma, Amy Warren and Basher Savage.
Gravity is a visual masterpiece and an emotional powerhouse. There are only a few films which could have taken the viewer's breath away with their appearance the way Alfonso Cuaron's film does. Among these films are Titanic, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and Avatar (to name a few). You will not believe the amount of artistry, detail, and beauty involved in every single shot, even as you are watching it. This is why Gravity doesn't disappoint. It doesn't even let you consider it as it allows you to effectively feel the atmosphere of space. I have never seen another film which submerges you in its fictional world as thoroughly. This is an experience from start to finish. I never thought about anything else during its run time except Ryan's journey. Ingeniously directed and produced, it is a gorgeous looking and skillfully told story about the opposition between space and death, life and home.
This is certainly the best looking film I have ever seen. We have all seen many visually thrilling, grand-scale spectacles. Gravity, however, is not simply large and epic. It is also undeniably realistic and irresistibly beautiful within every single frame. Every single screw on the ship, every joint on the astronauts' spacesuits, and every little dusty particle on their outer space gear is visible, shiny, and stunningly realistic. No element is present to convince the viewer that Gravity is not completely real. With Earth in the background, giant and lovely with the eternal constellations filling the universe of the film, I was completely blown away.
Cuaron is not a single vision visionary. Not only does he know what to put on screen and how to put it but he is also perfectly aware of how to boldly move the camera to great distances and trajectories in order to craft an image into a feeling. He doesn't waste a single shot and fills the ones he does create with as much energy and spectacle as possible. In space you are alone and there is nothing to distract you except the urgency of your task. Everything you do is life or death; everything matters, just like every shot in this film.
The camera movement contributes greatly to the powerful emotions in Gravity. When Cuaron wants us to feel the supremacy of space over man, we see a landscape shot of the eternal sea of stars with the tiny figure of Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) drifting wildly into the void. When Cuaron wants us to feel Ryan's fear, we first adopt her point of view from within the helmet. Then as she realizes the hopelessness of her situation we move out of it to see her begging for help when there is none, spinning in her doom in the darkness, slowly getting devoured by the gloom.
Alfonso Cuaron proves his qualities as a solid writer as well, alongside this son. It is true that the story, the acting, and even the emotion is more or less overshadowed by the incredible visual qualities of the film. The film is, in a way, as wise as it is beautiful. There is a beautiful message at the core of the film. Ryan is up in space, fleeing humanity, trying to let go of the pain that binds her to Earth. In space, in the absence of gravity, in the absence of human problems, in absolute silence, Ryan seeks refuge. As NASA Astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) puts it: (paraphrased) "it is so simple, so easy to shut down all the systems and just let it go." Then the accident strikes and the truth is revealed to Ryan: running away from home and hiding from pain instead of fighting it means giving up on life. As she struggles against certain death in space, she fights for the spirit in her heart. It is a wonderful parallel: the battle for one's physical and spiritual existence. The word gravity here doesn't stand so much for the natural phenomenon. It above all symbolizes difficulty. Without difficulty none of us will truly live. This is what Cuaron tells us through Ryan's adventure.
All in all, Gravity is a wise, exceptional in its looks, powerful in its emotive impact film, ornamented with tremendous visuals, solid acting, superb directing, and a clever story. Gravity is the best-looking film of all times, the finest work of Alfonso Cuaron, and the most spectacular thing you will see on the big screen in 2013.

The opening shot of L.I.E. could stand as a metaphor for the whole film: teen-age boy climbs onto an overpass spanning the Long Island Expressway, and stands on one foot, tottering precariously yet somehow maintaining his balance. In the same way, a movie that often seems about to topple and go splat on the asphalt, rights itself every time like a gyroscope, opening onto unexpected vistas or taking a character where you least expected him to go. And it's precisely this one-legged balancing act that makes the first feature from Michael Cuesta so daring, improvisatory and fresh.
A sense of imminent disaster also dogs Howie Blitzer (Paul Franklin Dano), a 15-year-old who lives in the well-groomed burbs off the expressway's Exit 51. Howie is still mourning his mother, who was killed in the not-distant past in an expressway accident. (In a poignant scene, he sorts through a shoebox of her cosmetics, trying to conjure her presence by sniffing her bottle of perfume.) Dad (Bruce Altman), a macho contractor (like a white-collar Joey Buttafuoco) who amassed funny money during the '80s, seems mainly puzzled by his son's existence, and likes to wear a hardhat while doing it doggy-style with his buff girlfriend in front of the window.
Howie runs with a crowd of teenage boys who rob neighbors' houses for the sport of it. He's unaware that his good buddy Gary (Billy Kay), a pierced and tattooed pretty-boy, secretly swaps money for sex with Big John (Brian Cox), a sixty-ish ex-Marine and neighborhood pedophile. Gary persuades Howie to help him steal Big John's weapons from his basement, fences one of the guns and lights out for California (after promising Howie they'd escape Long Island together.) He also abandons Howie to the wrath of Big John-and his offer of immunity in exchange for sexual favors. Howie declines. But when his father is hauled off to the federal pen for embezzlement, Howie turns for solace to Big John, a parental figure who initially seems as benign as Riding Hood's grandma.
We could have had a clich here: coming-of-ager about sensitive, neglected teen; the sexual predator as chicken hawk, on the loose in the leafy burbs; the misery and mayhem lurking at the end of all those pristine driveways. But the film is rescued by the singularity and grittiness of an auteur's vision: This is a from-the-gut recreation of the tortured, geeky period of adolescence, which anyone who grew up in suburban America will recognize. (It rings truer than the slick, over-hyped American Beauty, which seemed more manufactured 'concept' than felt experience.). And we root for Howie as he reels under a succession of blows almost too much for one kid to bear. Director Michael Cuesta and Paul Franklin Dano have crafted a luminous local hero who draws on deep reserves of resilience and takes form right before our eyes.
In another inspired casting choice, Marcia DeBonis plays a blousy, Bohemian-looking guidance counselor, well-intentioned but helpless to guide Howie. Brian Cox brings multi-shadings to the role of Big John, something of a family man when not cruising the exits for lanky boys. His scenes with the vulnerable Howie turn surprising loop-de-loops, paternal tenderness vying with baser impulses. A gay pedophile as mensch? Well, yeah. And in Howie's friendship with Gary, the film also delicately speculates on Howie's sexual orientation, without trying to resolve it. (None of this, however, could justify the NC-17 rating unfairly slapped on a film that's far more restrained than, say, Boogie Nights.)
The subtle score avoids cueing viewers with the usual teen surround sound, opting instead for a kind of muted, grinding synthesizer. And Cuesta's camera deftly captures middle-class sprawl beyond the exit signs, with desolate, angular images of buildings and sky in a stark white and blue palette; shots of Howie's antiseptically bright house, which could be some eternal model home floating over the rot within, and the sinister, somehow dirty gold and brown of Big John's ranch house, complete with shag rug. And the camera's always drawn back to the expressway, with its ever-audible hum, sometimes shot in fast-motion as a network of pulsing streaks, an arterial hell. Here's a low-budget, deceptively minimalist drama that delivers big.

Alanis Morissette and My Humps.
Slower sad rendition of Fergie's My Humps by Alanis.
YES..I said Alanis as in Morissette. I can't help but love her for it. Totally Hilar! Now I think Ryan Reynolds is a schmuck for ditching her.
You would think I'd have something better to do my time. I don't.
Yep, Buena Vista Games is making a game based off of High School Musical. It hasn't been confirmed that the High School Musical game is based off the Disney Channel movie, but seeing the ties between Disney and BVG, I would say it is a 99.9% sure deal.
Disney would be stupid not to make a game off of this property. The soundtrack is the number one selling album of this year. The TV movie was the highest rated program on TV this past year. Will the game follow in these record breaking footsteps?

Yesterday I received my new Marco Polo Diamond Membership package. Marco Polo is the frequent flyer program from Cathay Pacific. Cathay Pacific (CX) is maybe not as well known in the west but one of major premium airlines in the world. Cathay was awarded Skytrax's 2014 Airline of the Year and has won the "World's Best Airline" award four times by now, more than any other airline.
Their frequent flyer program did relaunch completely in the middle of 2016. I will not go into the details of that, since it has been discussed thoroughly by many travelers. In case you're missed it, here is a somewhat neutral summary. Personally I do not appreciate the changes as they mostly favor corporate flyers and people who do not spend their own money on tickets. Unfortunately that is the direction most airlines heading to these days.
Today I would like to address just one aspect of the relaunch and it's changes: The re-styled new membership cards (among other design changes).
I always admired Cathay for their choice in restrained, non flashy designs. Distinguished and 'non-show off' reflected well my impressions of those. I have to say I liked their branding and corporate identity on the membership program as one of the best in the industry. The luggage tag is only a part it but I think a vital one. It is that one piece that shows your affiliation with an airline and so often the point where I ask myself if I am willing to put that on my bag.
I do currently hold a Silver, two gold and one Top Tier status from four airlines but my bag only has two tags on it. For one, it would look borderline tacky to me dangling around all of them (some might say this already with two). In the end it is the design of those tags, that puts the nail in the coffin. If you would see all four you might understand why only Cathay Pacific and Lufthansa are the ones chosen. Continue reading

LADSON, N.C. (AP) - General Dynamics says it will lay off about 170 employees at its plant in Ladson by the end of the year.
The company blamed reduced military spending for the decision to cut 75 percent of its workforce at the old Force Protection plant.
The company says it will stop making mine-resistance vehicles at the plant by December. At the height of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2007, the company employed 2,000 workers.
The company says it will keep about 50 workers in Ladson to supply spare parts and supplies and offer field service support to its customers.
The Virginia company says about 140 workers will lose their jobs in June when production of the Buffalo mine-resistant vehicle is halted. The plant also makes several other vehicles.

METAIRIE, LA (AP) - - Saints quarterback Drew Brees has agreed to a contract extension with the Saints and a person familiar with the deal says it will keep Brees in New Orleans through at least 2017 and guarantee him $44.3 million.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Wednesday because details of the extension had not been announced.
The contract runs for five years, starting this season, and includes a $30 million bonus that, for now, can be prorated over that period to substantially reduce the $30 million Brees' old contract would have counted against the Saints' salary cap this season. However, the final three seasons are voidable, meaning the Saints and Brees, who turns 38 in January, will have to revisit the possibility of another extension next year.
The deal also has a no-trade clause.

We acknowledge our clients' concerns about current political issues in Venezuela and the subsequent delay in receiving pay outs. Due to instability since the death of president Hugo Chávez and the looming prospect of recession, there has been a contraction of relations between some of the networks and our partners on the ground in that territory and difficulties repatriating revenues.
This means that payments that were due to be transferred to us have been delayed and we are currently working to better understand the situation and to define the best way forward to get clients' revenue into their hands despite the financial crisis.
Other aggregators, as well as companies outside our industry, are facing similar issues on the back of currency devaluation at the beginning of the year and the fallout from massive government spending in 2012, so this is not confined to our platform or caused by it; there has been general press coverage of post-Chávez instability that provides some background to the issues faced by our clients. Telecoms research outfit Budde headlined problems in July by warning that:
"The general outlook for [telecoms in] 2013 is not promising for Venezuela, as the country faces a sharp economic slowdown and galloping inflation amidst political tension and shortages in basic household items such as food and toiletries."
It was reported by the Wall Street Journal at the end of June that BlackBerry "wrote off about $72 million in telecoms-related service revenue because of Venezuela's currency restrictions", which similarly affected Colgate-Palmolive and Halliburton.
Reuters reported in the last few days that Venezuela's annual inflation rate had reached 42.6%, amongst the highest in the world.
txtNation operates a worldwide platform and from time to time we are faced with geo-political issues outside our direct control that have an impact on our usual service. We fully understand the frustration of some our clients at this time and appreciate their patience. Of course we are fully committed to exploring all avenues in pursuit of a resolution but we do not pretend that events in Venezuela are conducive to a quick resolution.
We underline that such delays are outside our normal operating procedures for Venezuela and that we will continue to liaise with our partners in the region to restore normality as soon as we can.
This is an official statement updating our previous notification in April.

How to Make an Arrow
Two Methods:Making an Arrow from Wilderness MaterialsMaking an Arrow from Commercial MaterialsCommunity Q&A
Whether you're working with the same basic materials our human ancestors used upwards of 10,000 years ago, or you've just made a trip to the local hardware store to gather supplies, the construction of an arrow remains the same. This article will walk you through two very different ways to construct an arrow - one that uses the most of naturally-available supplies and one that takes advantage of modern conveniences!
Making an Arrow from Wilderness Materials
1Find a stick. The shaft of your arrow should be made from a suitable stick or branch. You want a piece of wood that is light yet sturdy and as straight as possible. For a long bow, find a stick that is slightly thicker than a pencil, and about the length of the distance from your wrist to your shoulder.
- It's better to stick with a longer stick rather than a shorter stick - you can always break part of a stick off if it's too long, but there's no way to make a short stick longer.
2Find a pointed rock. Ideally, your rock should have one sharp, pointed end and one flatter end that fits flush against one end of your stick. Good stones will have a cone-shaped or blade-shaped point and be slightly wider than the stick's thickness. If needed, sharpen your rock's point against another rock or a sharpening stone.
- Alternatively, you can use sharp pieces of bone if they're available. If you're in an area known for volcanic activity (such as the Hawaiian islands), you may even want to look for naturally-occurring obsidian around old, cooled lava flows.
- If you're very dedicated (or lucky), you might be able to find an actual arrowhead - that is, a specially-sharpened rock used by an ancient culture to tip an arrow. Arrowheads are occasionally recovered from places where the earth has been disturbed, such as recently-plowed fields, construction sites, and riverbeds.
3Gather glue, string, and feathers. If you're willing to compromise in terms of your arrow's historical authenticity, you can simply use commercial glue (a hot glue gun works best) and normal string or twine. On the other hand, for a truly old-school arrow, you can make a simple glue from flower and water and make string from certain types of tree bark. If possible, get two large bird feathers that are the same size.
- The feathers aren't absolutely necessary, but they will improve your arrow's accuracy by stabilizing it as it flies.
4Glue the pointed rock to the end of the stick. This can be done by cutting a small notch into the stick deep enough to hold about a 1/4 of the length of the rock. Glue the rock in place, then coat the part of the stick near the rock with glue. Wrap a string around the notch and the base of the rock, making sure it grips the stick and the rock tightly. Tie the string securely, then coat it with glue to improve its strength.
5Allow the arrow to dry. Carefully lay your arrow down so that none of its weight is being supported by the tip and allow it to dry. Leave it in the sun to speed the drying process, carefully turning it over after an hour or so to ensure the glue dries evenly.
6Cut a small notch at the "back" end of the stick. When you fire your arrow, the bowstring will fit into this notch, helping the keep the arrow steady. This notch doesn't have to be terribly deep - 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch will usually do, based on the thickness of your bowstring.
7Attach the feathers. Cut your feathers down the center. Place some glue on the shaft of your arrow and glue half of the feather down this in a way so it curves slightly. Arrange four feather halves so that they're evenly spaced around the circumference of the back end of the arrow and they all curve in the same direction. The spiral arrangement of the feathers will cause the arrow to turn in a spiral as it flies (like a well-thrown football or a rifle bullet), which tends to make it fly straighter and and more accurately.
- Traditionally, a thin cotton thread would be used to tie the feathers on by ruffling them the wrong way so a gap appeared to place the string while the feather was held to the shaft. You may choose to replicate this practice if you desire. If you do, wrap the thread around the feathers so that they're tightly held against the shaft of the arrow, then glue the thread in place.
8Let the arrow dry again. Let the glue dry for about 2 hours - your exact drying time will vary depending on the type of glue you use and the construction of your arrow. Again, make sure that your arrow is arranged so that neither the feathers or the point of the arrow are bearing any weight as the glue dries - otherwise, they may dry crooked.
9Test your arrow. When you're sure the glue is completely dry, gently flex the tip and the feathers to test their strength. If they're securely attached and don't budge at all, your arrow's ready to fire! Notch your arrow in your bow, pull the bowstring back, aim, and let your arrow fly! Never shoot your arrow at people or animals - even stone age arrows can seriously hurt someone - after all, they were originally used for hunting.
Making an Arrow from Commercial Materials
1Buy or fashion your shaft(s). Today, there are a wide variety of materials that arrow shafts are constructed from. Some hunters use wooden arrows that aren't functionally very different from old-fashioned arrows, while others prefer high-tech carbon fiber constructions. Shop around for available shaft materials or consider making your own - some sporting good and hunting supply stores even sell special arrow saws that can help you professionally fashion an arrow shaft from a wide variety of materials.[1]
- If you want to make your own shafts, be sure your shafts are the correct length for your bow setup. If you plan on making your shafts from wood, you may want to have access to a lathe to help round square shafts to a perfect roundness.
2Square the end of your shaft. The end of your shaft should be perfectly flat to ensure a good fit when you attach the arrow's point. If you bought a prefabricated arrow shaft, you may not need to do any extra work, but if you're fashioning your arrows from wood, you'll definitely need ensure that the end of the shaft is perfectly square. Press the end of the shaft into an abrasive surface (sandpaper, etc.) and rotate the shaft to square the end.
- A arrow-squaring device can be a tremendous help - these ensure that the shaft is held perfectly straight as it is abraded. Arrow-squaring devices are fairly cheap - often retailing for less than $50.
3Attach a point and/or insert to the end of the shaft. Ensure the end of the shaft is perfectly square and free of any wood shavings, dirt, etc. Then, affix the arrow's point. This process will vary based on the type of shaft your arrow uses.
- For metal or carbon shafts, you may need to first glue or screw in a special metal insert before affixing the point. Consult the vendor or manufacturer if instructions aren't included with the point or insert.
- For wooden shafts, you may need to taper the shaft so that the point can be mounted securely. Glue the point over the shaft with archery glue, wiping away any excess.
4Add a nock. The "nock" is the small notch at the back of the arrow where the bowstring fits. If you're making an arrow from a wooden shaft, you can carve a shallow nock into the back end of the shaft yourself. You can also buy commercially-available nocks which are designed fit over (or in to) the shaft of the arrow. These are usually brightly-colored plastic so that your arrows are easy to find after firing. Some high-end nocks even contain a small LED so that they glow in the dark, making hunting or target shooting at night much easier.
- Make sure your nock is sized correctly so that it fits securely to the shaft before you glue it or screw it in. You definitely don't want a poorly-fitted nock to slip or fall off when you draw your bowstring.
5Fletch your arrow. Fletching is the process of adding small fins, or "vanes," to the back end of the arrow to ensure it flies straighter. You may fletch your arrows with feathers or another lightweight material. However, you may find it easier simply to buy modern plastic vanes, which are cheap and effective. Use thin lines of archery glue to secure these ahead of the nock.
- Fletching is much easier with an apparatus called a "fletching jig." These allow you to securely and accurately add your feathers or vanes and ensure that your spacing is perfectly even. Fletching jigs are available for less than $100.
6Make your finishing touches. Allow any glue to dry - your arrow may need to dry for several hours, depending on whether your tip, nock, and fletching were attached with glue or not. When your arrow is finished drying, or if you constructed an arrow entirely from screw-in parts, you can consider customizing it. You may want to mark it with paint or a permanent marker to make it easier to retrieve or to give it a distinct appearance. If you used a wooden shaft, you may want to finish the wood to protect it from the elements and to give it a more pleasing appearance. When your arrow is just how you like it, you're ready to add it to your quiver!
- As always, make sure never to fire your arrow at people or animals (unless you're on a legal hunting trip). Modern commercial arrow points are deadly sharp - an accident can result in serious injury or death.
Community Q&A
QuestionWhat is the best tree branch for making a arrow?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerOak and softer should work the same, more or less. But the arrow needs to be able to flex in order to get around the center of the bow.
QuestionWhat type of feathers should I use?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerAny kind you want. Bird feathers come in many colors. Use the one you like best!
QuestionWhere can I find slate?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerLook at the bottom of a cliff and dried riverbeds.
QuestionHow do you put the feathers in the right place on the arrow?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerYou can probably just align and place them by sight. Unless you plan on shooting in a state or national level competition, you won't need a special jig or exact measurements.
QuestionDo I have to use a sharp rock or can I sharpen the end of the arrow?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerIf you are in training then sharpening the end of the arrow, but if you are in a competition then you should use a rock.
QuestionWhat is the purpose of the fletching on an arrow?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerFletching, or feathers, are there to help the arrow fly straight with as little resistance as possible. They can also help give the arrow a spin as it flies through the air.
QuestionDoes it matter what kind of stick and rock I use?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerNot really, but make sure the stick is strong enough and the rock isn't too heavy.
QuestionWhat should I use instead of rocks so that it does not harm anybody?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerUse the arrow without an arrow head of any kind. It will still shoot fairly well if you're only using it for target practice.
QuestionWhat is the best wood to make a bow?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerYew is one of the best woods to make a bow, but it can be a little difficult to find. You can also use more-common woods, such as ash, elm, maple, and oak.
QuestionDo I have to use real feathers?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerNo. If you are looking for an authentic look, then real feathers are useful, but imitation feathers will also work.
Quick Summary
If you want to make an arrow from materials in the wild, look for a stick or branch that is a bit thicker than a pencil, and about the same length as the distance between your elbow and shoulder. To make the head, cut a small notch in the end of your stick, glue a pointed rock to the end, and secure it by tying a piece of string around the rock and the stick. Leave your arrow to dry in the sun for an hour, then turn it over to dry the other side. To finish, cut a notch in the back end of the stick and glue 4 feathers around the shaft's circumference.
- Make sure the wood and the rock aren't too small or heavy.
- Try to cut the two feathers evenly in half as well as you can, otherwise it will not fly as straight, and there is a chance it won't go into a spiral.
- The glue has to be either super glue or hot glue.
- Tie the rope tight.
- It is best that the stick is a hazelnut, as they grow very straight.
- The feathers cannot be fake.
- Arrows are dangerous and could cause harm or death, so be very careful.
Things You'll Need
- A stick (the best kind is Hazelnut).
- A rock or slate.
- Super or hot glue.
- A pocketknife.
- String.
- Feather (optional)
