After tight end/slot receiver Jared Cook wasn't given the franchise tag by the Titans, the speculation has begun about where Cook will end up in free agency. And much of that speculation is centered in Chicago.
Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that Cook is expected to draw interest from the Bears, who could use another weapon in their passing game after a 2012 season in which Brandon Marshall caught 118 passes but no one else even managed 45 catches.
Kellen Davis has been the Bears' starting tight end for the last two seasons but has just 229 and 206 receiving yards in the last two seasons. Cook, who had 523 receiving yards last year and 759 in 2011, would be a significant upgrade over Davis.
Although the Titans are expected to make an offer to keep Cook, he's likely to get a bigger offer somewhere else. That "somewhere" may be Chicago.

Lady Gaga Donates $1 Million to Hurricane Sandy Relief Efforts
Lady Gaga expressed that it pained her to be away from her NYC hometown during Hurricane Sandy. She wanted to be there, helping with her hands, while the superstorm ravaged the East Coast.
She helped in the best way she knew how, as she was on tour and at a distance; she shared a song she wrote at age 16 called 'No Floods,' which was eerie given the lyrical content. Now she has pledged a million dollar donation to the Red Cross for the relief efforts.
Mother Monster is putting her money where her mouth is and is doing her best to help at home. Many pop stars are criticized for contributing to relief efforts abroad but Gaga has not forgotten to take care of her own.
Below is Gaga's announcement of the Germanotta family donation, which she shared via her Little Monsters site. She speaks of how NYC made her the woman and the artist she is so she is compelled to give back.
To New York and The American Red Cross
Today I pledge 1 million dollars to New York & The American Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy Relief. If it wasn't for NYC: the Lower Eastside, Harlem, the Bronx and Brooklyn, I would not be the woman or artist that I am today. New York is relentless ambition, a drive to succeed, a place where there is a natural pursuit of diversity through compassion. Please accept this gift on behalf of myself, my parents Joe and Cynthia, and my sister Natali; with our deepest gratitude New York for raising us. Thank you for helping me build my spirit. I will now help you rebuild yours. Sincerely, Lady Gaga and The Germanottas
Listen to Lady Gaga, 'No Floods'

Many of us sometimes have a hard time throwing things out. Clearly, in the back of our minds lurks the fear that we may need those objects some day.
Or we hang onto things for sentimental reasons knowing that even the most trivial of trinkets can elicit fond memories of a favorite person, place, or trip. A cheap souvenir from a trip taken years ago can unleash a torrent of vivid recollections.

Best describes Bellavista in my humble opinion.
This 3 story villa is perched on a cliff, providing a phenomenal panoramic view of Sandy Ground Harbor, and the Atlantic.
Life just doesn't get any better enjoying your morning coffee on your private terrace, as the sun rises, and glistens on the calm turquoise waters. Evenings provide a stunning view of spectacular sunsets, dazzling night skies with a multitude of stars, and the moon's reflection on the waters below.
Our 3 bedroom suite was tastefully appointed, fully equipped, including satellite television, and high speed WIFI. We wanted for nothing – all the conveniences of home in paradise. I also might add the villa has a fabulous salt water swimming pool, for that early morning, or late night swim.
The owner and our host at Bellavista, Ingrid Weger, made our vacation one of the most enjoyable that we have had in many years. From arranging our car rental, assisting us selecting local restaurants for lunch and dinner, to directing us to the best of the 30 plus beaches that surround Anguilla, Ingrid truly made our vacation in Anguilla, one that we will always remember, and cherish. Without a doubt, we will be back soon to continue our exploration of Anguilla, meet up with all our new island friends, and once again enjoy the hospitality of Ingrid, and her staff at Bellavista.
Room Number:
Suite 2
Bellavista is centrally located. Only about a 10 minute drive from the ferry dock.
Excellent suites!
Restaurants and Bars:
Lots of reasonably priced bars and restaurants to choose from in Anguilla. Roy's Bayside Grill at Sandy Ground for the best fish & Chips. Also at Sandy Ground - try Sand Bar! Fabulous tapas menu!! Picante for great mexican food a must! Trattoria Tramonto is fabulous! They serve a semi fredo dessert with homemade choclate sauce that is to die for! Also go to Sea Sand at Shoal Bay East - the best lobster salad I have ever had in my years of coming to the Caribbean. All locally grown vegetable make for a real treat!
Our villa had a large salt water pool! There is not a bad beach on Anguilla!
Other Comments:
Everyone should go to Anguilla!

Brandeis scientists support new peer-edited journal
Innovative editorial process outshines conventional methods
Getting published in research journals can be a long, arduous process, one for which scientists have felt that had no alternative — until now.
eLife, which recently launched online, is a joint initiative of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Max Planck Society and the Welcome Trust. It is the first "open access" journal that engages editors who are working scientists with the research scientists throughout the entire editorial process, expediting the time between submission and publication.
Michael Rosbash, professor of biology and HHMI Investigator, chose to submit one of his team's most recent research papers on circadian transcription regulation to eLife.
"We wanted to publish in what we believe will become a high-profile journal," says Rosbash. "You send your good work to journals that you like and want to support. We felt that it would be treated fairly and expeditiously, and it was."
When a paper is submitted to eLife, it is assigned to a senior editor. They then work with someone on the board of reviewing editors, which draws scientists from around the globe, including three Brandeis biology professors: Bruce Goode, Leslie Griffith and Sacha Nelson.
Within a few days after submission, a decision is made whether or not the paper will be accepted. Rejections are sent with a short explanation, to save everybody's time. Proposed papers that are recommended for full submission then go into a review process.
What makes this process different from those at other journals is that each of the reviewers, including the board of reviewing editors, does an independent assessment.
"If they have disagreements they use a website consultation process to hammer them out," says Eve Marder, the Victor and Gwendolyn Beinfield Professor of Neuroscience, who is one of the senior editors at eLife.
Marder says any substantive scientific disagreements are handled ahead of time so the author gets a fairly consistent reason for a rejection, or recommendations for revisions. This way the author isn't faced with trying to respond to mutually disagreeing sets of comments. In addition, if one of the reviewers is wrong, "hopefully one of the others will pick that up, so authors shouldn't be facing scientifically incorrect points in the review process," says Marder.
Because eLife is only online it is able to provide supplemental information that traditional journals cannot, such as figures, data charts and metrics
"I think it's always nice to have another quality biology journal option," says Marder. Too many articles, she feels, are put into specialist journals, so there aren't many that publish across the whole range of biology.
"We scientists all spend a ton of our voluntary time refereeing papers for journals who are making a profit and often not doing a terribly good job at filtering what comes in to them, says Rosbash. "I'm very enthusiastic about the enterprise, which is why we sent the paper there. Our experience had been good. It was rapid, it was efficient, it was fair."

I've recently inherited a small family wine cellar, where I found a magnificent bottle of old Madeira Wine, a Leacock Malmsey Solera 1863, which was acquired during a family trip to Madeira in the early 70's (when it was bottled), and has since then been properly stored (dark basement, horizontal position). By its color and liquid level (well above the "bottle's shoulders") the wine appears to be in top condition (at least according to the opinion of a good friend of mine who I tend to consider a qualified opinion in this particular case).
The label and the top sealing material are also unspoiled, as you can see in the attached photos.
Not being a great fan of fortified wines, and assuming that this is indeed a special bottle, I do not believe I am the "proper" person to drink it, and I'm considering to sell it if I receive a fair offer - otherwise I'll have to make the great sacrifice of drinking it!
Best regards,
Algarve, Portugal

VANCOUVER — It seems almost a given that the Sedins will return home and play for Modo in the Swedish Elite League should the lockout force cancellation of the entire NHL season.
But Daniel Sedin joked Thursday that he may instead head to Paris.
That's where the twins' star trotter, Nahar, is about to begin harness racing for the winter.
"We're pretty excited about that," Daniel said of Sedin Stables' latest acquisition. "I might go to France instead of playing hockey to get a chance to see the horse."
He was kidding, we think. But make no mistake about it; the Sedins are serious about the sulkies.
On a day when they should have been preparing for their NHL season-opener with the Canucks, the twins were happy to talk about their summer-time diversion.
It's been a hobby -- "an expensive hobby," Henrik says with a smile -- for several years.
The twins had one other good horse called Amour Ami that performed well in recent years. But Amour Ami was getting on and it was time to say au revoir.
"He was turning 10," Henrik said. "They can race until they are 12, but usually when they are 10 they go downwards. Like when you turn 32 when you are a hockey player."
That was another joke. Henrik and Daniel just turned 32 on Sept. 26.
Daniel hinted last summer that they were looking to unload Amour Ami, preferably to an unsuspecting Finn.
It seems that is exactly what happened.
"He went to Finland and has never raced since," Daniel said, not looking the least bit disappointed.
Nahar, a seven-year-old, has exceeded the high expectations the Sedins had for the horse when they bought him earlier this summer.
"It has been unbelievable for us," Henrik said. "Really good. He's travelling down to France as we are speaking right now."
The twins paid more for Nahar than they got for Amour Ami -- they wouldn't discuss dollars -- but he's already paid for himself.
"He's won the money back in three months," Henrik said.
Harness racing is huge back home and like most Swedish cities, Henrik and Daniel's home of Ornskoldsvik has a track that is open all summer.
The twins' stable currently includes Nahar, as well as a promising three-year-old and a pair of one-year-olds.
"The three year old has done really well for us," Henriks aid. "It has just raced four times."
You don't get into the business expecting to make money. The Sedins have a couple of trainers on the payroll and then there's stables, food and lots of other expenses.
"I think they say it is like three or four per cent who make money at it," Henrik said. "I think overall we're about even, which is great."
Swedish hockey players seem to have an affinity for the trotters. Mats Sundin owns horses, as do Henrik Zetterberg and the Sedin's Ornskoldsvik neighbour Peter Forsberg.
"A lot of hockey players are into it and I really don't know why," Daniel said.
"I think it's just the excitement," Henrik added. "I really enjoy horses as animals and just being around them and the lead-up to the race.
"As a hockey player you are playing games and are a part of them so you are not really nervous about it. But standing on the sideline and watching your horse race, it's different."
Nahar's success this summer convinced the Sedins to send him to France, which is a step up in class.
"In the winter time in Sweden usually the best horses take the time off to work out," Daniel said. "But in France it's the other way around, the best horses race during the winter time. So it's going to be tough down there.
"You have to be a special horse to like running down there because it's tougher. Some the tracks there are uphill and downhill, so it's not like at home where it's just a circle."
Daniel and Henrik are counting the days until Nahar makes its first French start in Paris next Friday. Daniel figures the race should start at about 10 a.m. Vancouver time and knows exactly where he'll be.
"I'll be at home watching it on my computer," he said, and undoubtedly hoping Nahar will win, place and show.

Jim Olsen's Fenderless, Fierce, And Fun Pickup
It never fails. As soon as you start building a rod or custom-particularly an unusual make or model-you become a magnet for similar vehicles. They suddenly seem to come out of the woodwork. This is not necessarily a bad thing, although it can be difficult to resist buying all those needy new projects that pop up.
Jim Olsen knows the drill. The Bakersfield, California, resident had just spent six years building a '38 Willys sedan street rod when fellow Willys enthusiast Bob Hutson approached him about buying a '38 Willys pickup project. Bob has owned another '38 Willys truck for more than 40 years (check out the August 1990 issue of Rod & Custom to see the feature), and had planned to build this one for drag racing before offering it to Jim. "He kept after me because he really liked what I had done with my sedan and wanted the pickup finished right," Jim says. Jim ultimately relented, in part to scratch a decades-old itch: "I always wanted a car with a blower motor."
A blown mill was just the beginning of Jim's vision. "I had an idea of what I wanted to do; getting there was another story," he says. That's probably an understatement, because what ultimately emerged was a radical, fenderless ride with a channeled body, stretched hood, and bed-mounted radiator to cool a huffed big-block Chevy.
Bob had already kick-started the project by building a 2×3-inch rectangular-tube frame, to which Jim added a Currie rearend attached with custom ladder bars and Aldan coilovers. The chrome-plated '32 Plymouth front axle was suspended suicide style on a Model A spring, creating a 118-inch wheelbase. By using Chevy spindles, Jim was able to bolt Stainless Steel Brakes discs behind the Hoosier-wrapped E/T wheels.
The truck's exaggerated, cartoon-like demeanor came about partly by design, and partly by necessity. Mounting the gas tank in the cowl shoved the engine forward, which in turn necessitated stretching the hood 10 inches. The long, beak-like nose contrasts sharply with the truck's abbreviated bed, which is barely big enough to contain the wheeltubs and radiator.
Jim says one of the biggest challenges was piecing together a cooling system to make sure the bed-mounted radiator would properly cool the 6-71- blown, 468ci Chevy mill. He credits a NASCAR-style Stewart water pump, two 13-inch high-output SPAL fans, and a custom aluminum radiator built by Billy Kydd for keeping the 7-plus gallons of water cool.
Despite its race-flavored attitude, the pickup received detailing befitting a much more pussyfooted ride. Extreme Automotive smoothed the sheetmetal and laid down a rich DuPont Viper Red finish. Likewise, the cab was finished using leather-and-velour-covered Miata seats, Auto Meter gauges, and a LeCarra wheel atop the Fiero tilt column.
Like so many Willys vehicles, the pickup has a quarter-mile pedigree: It was raced in the late '60s out of Las Vegas under the name Facetious. Thanks to Jim, it now enjoys a more relaxed life on the street, while still carrying enough underhood heat to relive its dragstrip glory days whenever Jim wants.
Rod & Custom Feature Car
Jim Olsen
Bakersfield, California
1938 Willys pickup
Former owner Bob Hutson built the custom 2×3-inch, .120-inch wall, rectangular-tube frame, which Jim fitted with a 4.11:1-geared Currie 9-inch rearend attached with custom ladder bars and Aldan coilover shocks. Up front, a chrome '32 Plymouth axle was mounted ahead of a Model A leaf spring, with custom radius rods keeping it in line. Chevy spindles ('49-54 vintage) swing on the axle's ends, and mount 10-inch disc brakes from Stainless Steel Brakes Corporation. A Dodge Omni rack-and-pinion assembly points the way.
Larry's Performance in Montebello did the machine work on the '76-vintage 454 (now displacing 468 ci), and Mike Nordahl at Willys Replacement Parts in Alta Loma assembled it using Speed Pro 8:1 pistons, a custom-grind cam, and COMP roller rockers. The Weiand intake is topped with a 6-71 Mooneyham blower fed by dual Edelbrock carbs. Squeak Bell at the Kiwi Konnection built the muffled zoomie-style headers, and Toy Shop Transmission beefed up the TH400 transmission. Cooling is handled by a Stewart Components water pump and twin 13-inch SPAL fans mounted on a custom aluminum radiator built by Canada's Billy Kydd.
Wheels & Tires
E/T Classic Five wheels are a great race-flavored choice, and measure 15×4 inches in front, and 15×12 inches in back. They're wrapped in Hoosier 165/R15 and 31×16.50 tires.
Body & Paint
The pickup body takes on a whole new look without fenders, and appears even more radical now that the hood has been stretched 10 inches and engineered to flip forward.Adjure motorcycle headlights flank the shark-nosed grille, and a custom aluminum fuel tank-built by Ogawa Enterprises in Corona-resides in the cowl area. The cab now features a roll-down rear window, and wears side-view mirrors from Vision Concepts. The abbreviated, custom-built bed has wheeltubs, a ventilated tailgate to help the radiator breathe, and Juliano's LED taillights. Extreme Automotive in Corona performed the bodywork and sprayed the DuPont Viper Red paint, while Rodney Bowser at Independent Detail rubbed it out. Imperial Custom Plating in Fresno did the chrome.
The comfy cabin is fitted with custom door panels and Miata bucket seats, all covered in gray leather and velour by Jerry and Brian at Custom Works in Bakersfield. The Fiero tilt column is topped with a LeCarra wheel, Auto Meter instruments fill the dash, and the floor is fitted with Mercedes carpet and a B&M shifter.

roasting pan information available by clicking above
There is controversy on the dangers of stuffing your holiday turkey.
Insert assembles roasting wand and allow point to go through the poultry and be exposed on the opposite side.
Letting home cooks stuff their turkeys in a traditional way and feel they are serving a safe, delicious meal.
If using the Roasting Wand in smaller poultry, remove extension ends (A&C) as desired for a custom fit.
Up until now, cooks had to choose to stuff the turkey in the traditional way or cook the stuffing separately.
The roasting wand is an adjustable stainless steel tube that is inserted into a stuffed turkey, or other stuffed poultry.
The roasting wand will increase internal temperatures and reduce overall cooking time.
Practical Innovations has recently patented what may be the answer to cooking a safe stuffed turkey.
Those who chose to stuff their turkey had to take a chance on serving undercooked stuffing or overcook the turkey.
It's a clever device that'll give years of service. After all, what's a safe holiday meal worth to you?
The roasting wand is dishwasher safe, comes with a cleaning brush, and, while supplies last, a free meat thermometer.
A new invention-the Roasting Wand-makes cooking your turkey faster, safer and easier.

For several centuries, modern industrial societies have been living off the common capital of the planet. During this period, the world's natural and social resources have been drastically underpriced and we have amassed huge debts to the environment, the poor and future generations. It has become increasingly clear that the businesses and governments which created these imbalances are also incapable of correcting them through their present policies.
Our global economic system is now in grave crisis, threatening the entire planet, its institutions and species.
A new kind of common wealth is needed to protect the assets of Earth, resolve our private and public debts, and create a global society of justice, sharing and sustainability for everyone.
Our commons are the collective heritage of humanity — the shared resources of nature and society that we inherit, create and use. People across the world are now rediscovering these common goods and choosing to protect them for future generations.
Whether our commons are traditional (rivers, forests, indigenous cultures) or emerging (solar energy, intellectual property, internet), communities are managing them through unique forms of self-governance, collaboration and collective action. And in working together to preserve these resources, we are generating new standards of responsibility, mutual aid and sustenance for all beings.
Global Commons Trust promotes the creation of trusteeships, where the rights to our commons may be realized for the benefit of all. This promises a very different world than the ownership society of exploitation and aggression so prevalent today. When people claim the sovereign right to manage and revalue their common goods, civilization is transformed.
Imagine a world where
• commons trusts preserve and regenerate the assets of a commons
• private industry prospers from the surplus resources which it rents from these trusts
• governments provide citizens with an income generated through the use of these commons
Global Commons Trust opens a window into this rising global trusteeship society — a world where everyone benefits from the preservation and use of their common resources, and the cooperative human spirit is lifted through new energetic patterns of sustainability, wealth and power.
Find out more and become a trustee of the global commons.

I met Latham Conger in fourth grade. We were plucked out of our respective classes to attend a two year program in another school called Special Opportunities.
And no, it wasn't because we were disfunctional. It was a gifted program for supposedly smart kids, and we were taught by two teachers for two years in the same classroom. No grades, just written report cards. We were encouraged to explore our minds, both academically and creatively. Sort of a Montessori set-up, within the public school system.
Being with the same group of kids for two years was interesting. I made two lifelong friends during that time (Latham and my friend Jim), and have stronger memories of 5th and 6th grade than I do of any other school year.
Both Latham and I wound up going to the same junior high, high school, and college. We both wanted to be filmmakers.
I went to Hollywood after graduation with a few terrible spec scripts and tried to find an agent. I couldn't. When I came back home, I was pretty disheartened, and turned my attention to fiction writing. Over the next ten years I wrote ten novels, got hundreds of rejections, and finally sold my Jack Daniels series.
Latham did some video projects on the side while working in fields he didn't like, same as I did while trying to get published.
Life marched on with all its spoils and tragedies. Births and marriages, firings and hirings, children and buying houses. We stayed friends, saw each other when we could, he shot my wedding on video, I shot his, and two years ago when I had the ridiculous idea to go on a beer diet, I hired Latham to film me for 30 days around the clock.
One day we'll cut that movie together, and it'll be entertaining. Some YouTube vids are in the sidebar of this blog.
After the beer diet ended, Latham decided it was time to make the movie he always wanted to make. He wrote a damn good script, got the talent together, and for the past two years has been neck-deep in fulfilling his potential. Now he's in the final stage, doing the edit and sound mix, and he needs a few more hundred dollars to be able to finish.
So he began a Kickstarter campaign. You can hear Latham talk about his movie, and donate some money to support his cause, here.
Joe: Hi, Latham. Good to finally talk to you about your film project. How's it going?
Lay: Thanks, Joe. It's a lot of work, but going well. I never dreamed this would expand into the project it has, but it's going to end up being really unique when it's finished.
Joe: Tell us about your film, The Gordian Knot. How did the project get started?
Lay: The Gordian Knot is my first independent film. I began writing the screenplay in March of 2012, finishing it that summer. We cast the film in August of 2012, and began shooting it in and around the Palatine area in September. What was supposed to be a two and a half month shoot ended up taking much longer. Since the movie takes place primarily in the fall, we needed to finish the outdoor shots before the snow came. That didn't happen! We waitied until spring of 2013 to continue, and then finished primary shooting in June of that year. Or so we thought! Reshoots were necessary in the fall of 2013 again, and then we finally finished principal photography in October.
Joe: And now you are in post-production?
Lay: Yes. I began editing in November and have been at it ever since. We just finished the visual rough cut a few weeks ago, and are now getting ready to mix in all the sound and music. My co-editor is fantastic, and has really upped the ante with the film, as he is able to do things I never would have figured out. Aside from that, there's all kind of promotional things we are preparing, as our Kickstarter campaign attests to.
Joe: I've always wanted to make an independent movie, but watching you for the past two years, it seems like a great deal of work.
Lay: It is. The reason it is taking longer than expected is because of my three producers. They're very easy to work with... because they all quit over a year ago. I've had to handle nearly every aspect of the production myself, and it has been exhausting. Rewarding, but exhausting.
Joe: Tell us about the story. I know there's some unique aspects I haven't seen portrayed in any recent films, including a popular hobby that I know a lot of others are interested in.
Lay: The Gordian Knot is about "The Game". The Game is a contest that moves around the United States, popping up in a different location every few months, offering a ten thousand dollar prize to the winner each time. The Game's popularity has grown on the internet, but it's still hasn't reached a high level of popularity.
Fifteen people are picked to play in "The Game" by the powers that run it. You can apply online, but it's a mystery what criteria they use to pick anyone to be in it.
Joe: How does one play "The Game" ?
Lay: The game involves two aspects: The first is the hobby known as geocaching, where you use a global positioning unit to find hidden objects on planet Earth. During the time the game is played, each participant is required to search for these "caches" after solving certain puzzles provided by the game masters. The more geocache points you find, the further you can move along in the game. That's just the first part of what you do to play, though.
The second part of the game involves stalking and "eliminating" other players you are competing against. When the game begins, everyone receives a device that signifies they are playing the game, a bracelet which attaches to the wrist. If the bracelet ever comes off once the game has begun, you are eliminated from the competition. Of course, there are certain "factors" that must be in place for you to eliminate anybody, and you learn about those early in the film.
Joe: It sounds like The Hunger Games, but without the death.
Lay: It definitely owes a lot to the "Ten Little Indians" suspense device, where you are introduced to a bunch of different characters and are left to figure out which one is going to remain in the end, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. The Game itself is the framework for the story, but it goes much deeper than that.
Joe: Can you tell us more without revealing too many spoilers?
Lay: Just a little! Our main character, one of the players in this particular game in Palatine, has come to town for a completely different reason. He's looking for something, and he has a very good reason why he won't quit until he finds it. While the game unfolds, we learn about what he is trying to do, and why. It's a slow reveal, and creates the main suspense arc of the film. From there things get...strange.
Joe: When you say strange...
Lay: The movie moves in a unique direction once the game approaches its climax. Something else that needs to be resolved becomes as important as who's going to win the game. And then there's the ending, which will make you think and wonder like very few films have done before.
Joe: When you first told me about it, we had a discussion about films needing to be complete and have all of the story elements and characxter arcs wrapped up by the ending, but you disagreed.
Lay: Yeah, I didn't agree. The Empire Strikes Back is universally accepted as the best Star Wars movie, but it literally has no ending. Slice-of-life films sometimes end with the main character just continuing on, perhaps changing, but not finding a particular resolution that the audience was hoping for. Some other movies never make sense, even when the director's is asked to explain them later!
The Gordian Knot is unique in that it has a challenging ending, but there are clues left throughout the film for astute film watchers to figure out what exactly happened. There is a real solution, and a true explanation.
Joe: You make it sound like the movie is a game itself? Is that what you're going for here?
Lay: That's exactly what I'm going for. I wanted to make the ultimate "puzzle movie". I wanted to make a film that needed to be "solved", and to be explored multiple times. There are many things hidden in the movie itself, in lots of different and unique ways, and it's up to the viewer to find them and piece them together. I don't want to reveal any of them yet, but plenty of these secrets are visually right in front of you as you watch The Gordian Knot.
Joe: What made you want to make a film like this? Did something inspire you?
Lay: David Lynch is one of my favorite directors. His influence is a healthy part of The Gordian Knot, but I've always had one beef with him. He makes these strange movies whose stories are hard to follow. They draw me and really interest me. In the end, though, there's no payoff. Film discussion groups will try and figure out what he was trying to say, but no one can fully agree. A lot of filmmakers like it that way: they want their vision to be interpreted in multiple ways, and some of the greatest films of all time work better that way.
I wanted to make a film like that, but I wanted it to have a real solution. An answer. Something that you can read about later and check to make sure it follows with the story on screen. I wanted to make people think and wonder what the hell happened, and then reward them later by explaining exactly what did.
As far as other influences, I'd list two: Lars Von Trier is another director whose work I admire, and I like the way he splits his movies between gorgeous cinematic vistas and personal handheld characters. The Gordian Knot plays like one of his films, especially visually. The other unique influence for this film is GAMES magazine, which I've been reading since the late seventies. I'm a big fan of puzzles in general, and some of the things hidden in the movie are inspired by ones I've solved in that magazine.
Joe: What's going on with your Kickstarter campaign?
Lay: The movie is almost finished, and we are trying to raise funds to pay for the final editing, colorizing, recording of music and dialogue, and resources to distribute the film. We are really close to our goal, but only have a few days left to hit it. If things go well and we attain the goal on Kickstarter, we're looking at finishing the movie by late May or sometime in June.
Joe: Do you have a link we can put up if people are interested in donating to the film?
We also have a Facebook page for the film: https://www.facebook.com/gordianknotmovie?ref=hl
Joe: Anything else you want to add?
Lay: Only that I'm so excited to finish this project and let everyone see it. It's grown in length and scope since we started, and I'm really proud of the complicated story and how it all fits together.
There's a science-fiction film called Primer that came out in 2004. It's one of my favorite films of all-time, and one of the greatest sci-fi films ever made. It's 75 minutes long. It's utterly minimalistic in its approach, but it tells a whopper of a story. When it ends, you immediately want to watch it again and "figure it out".
The Gordian Knot is similar to Primer, but longer and more involved. When it ends, if I've reeled you in correctly, you're going to want to go back and search for a lot of things to solve the puzzle. Or should I say...puzzles.
Joe: This sounds, if I may say so, like a breath of fresh air in a time where movies are all about superheroes and teen vampires.
Lay: Get ready to inhale!
Joe sez: Help support a fellow artist and donate a few bucks to the campaign. I did. You should too.

NMath Summary
All NMath routines are callable from any .NET language, including C#, Visual Basic.NET, and F#.
For many computations, NMath uses the Intel® Math Kernel Library (MKL), which contains highly-optimized, extensively-threaded versions of the C and FORTRAN public domain computing packages known as the BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines) and LAPACK (Linear Algebra PACKage). This gives NMath routines accuracy you can trust, and performance levels comparable to C or Fortran. Our state of the art, object-oriented interfaces are easy to use and leverage the full power of the .NET platform.
For even greater acceleration, the Premium Editions of NMath and NMath Stats leverage the power of the NVIDIA CUDA™ architecture for GPU-accelerated mathematics on the .NET platform. NMath Premium automatically detects the presence of a CUDA-enabled GPU at runtime and seamlessly redirects appropriate computations to it. The library can be configured to specify which problems should be solved by the GPU, and which by the CPU. If a GPU is not present at runtime, the computation automatically falls back to the CPU without error. GPU acceleration provides a 2-4x speed-up for many NMath functions. With large data sets running on high-performance GPUs, the speed-up can exceed 10x.

Partnerships between non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the business community offer long-term potential for Africa's economic development. As the private sector grows, so too does their stake in the health, well-being and future of their workforce and consumer base.
Africare selectively engages the private sector and forms effective partnerships to support programs strengthening local institutions and delivering positive results to communities.
Africare's vision for corporate social responsibility (CSR) looks to create sustainable, mutually beneficial impacts with measurable returns, and Africare has worked all over the continent with corporations to not only improve the quality of life of those we serve, but also to enhance the economic impact of industrial growth in the countries where we work.
Learn about our
Why Africare
For more than 40 years Africare has worked with local communities, civil society and government officials addressing many of the most important challenges that corporations encounter when investing in Africa. During these four decades, Africare has developed strengths that are of particular value to our business partners.
- Africare is a long-term and trusted partner in more than 19 countries, bringing the conviction of local communities, stakeholders and governments and convening power.
- Africare possesses an intimate understanding of the needs of the private sector, local communities, civil society and governments, and can help businesses build relationships and navigate emerging challenges.
- Africare's non-partisan standpoint can serve as an essential "bridge" for businesses as they seek to develop long-term relationships with various stakeholders.
Corporate Opportunities are Vast: How to Get Involved
Fund a Project
To effectively maintain the social license to operate, the private sector must proactively engage the community and understand the beliefs, perceptions and opinions held by local stakeholders.
The private sector can bring substantial benefits to local communities through direct and indirect employment, skills transfer, enhancements in health and education services, improved infrastructure and economic development. However, private sector companies must be prepared and willing to work with local communities to engage in cooperative efforts to ensure the success of their operations. Africare's development strategy focuses on exploring partnerships with private sector companies who share Africare's vision and values. Africare will work with you to customize projects that overcome challenges felt by community members and your business.
Support our Annual Dinner
In addition to work in Africa, corporations have chosen to support Africare through the largest fundraiser for Africa in the U.S., the Bishop John T. Walker Memorial Dinner Gala. Africare's honored and distinguished guests provide a perfect setting to promote innovative partnerships on the continent. Through various marketing initiatives surrounding the Dinner, corporations use this event to demonstrate their commitment to sustainable development in Africa. The outcomes will be unimaginable, both in expanding a corporation's brand and in helping the people who will define the world's future.
Encourage Workplace Giving
Rallying your team to support your company's efforts fosters a solid mission and increases team effort internally!
Pro-Bono Services or In-Kind Donations
Africare looks to partner with businesses in many ways – why not partner based on what you produce? Africare utilizes products in projects and distributes material at Africare events to promote effective partnerships to our network.
Cause Marketing
Africare forges partnerships with private sector companies that share the vision of empowering Africans. Through cause-related, mutually beneficial campaigns, Africare and its private sector partners generate greater awareness of issues confronting Africa and the global community, driving business, raising funds and improving lives in Africa.

BOULDER, Colo.—The 13th-seeded South Dakota State Jackrabbits were matching No. 4 seed South Carolina basket for basket, big play for big play Saturday.
Then, the Gamecocks hit seven straight baskets midway through the first half, sparking a 74-52 rout of the Jackrabbits in the opening round of the NCAA women's tournament.
"The momentum was great. We gave them no slack and kept the pressure on," said Ashley Bruner, who led South Carolina with 15 points and 11 rebounds. "We were eye-to-eye with them at that point. Then the momentum went in our direction."
After that, the Gamecocks (25-7), who won a school-record 11 Southeastern Conference games this season, used their superior athleticism and stout defense to make quick work of the Jackrabbits (25-8), the Summit League regular season and tournament champs.
Guard Ieasia Walker, the SEC defensive player of the year, finished with 15 points. She also helped hold South Dakota State to 33 percent shooting in the first half as the Gamecocks raced to a 44-26 halftime lead on the strength of 61 percent shooting and 10 forced turnovers.
Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley said her halftime speech was about speed.
"We forced them to play quicker than they wanted to play," she said.
South Carolina led by as many as 27 in the second half as the Jackrabbits, despite 15 points from Ashley Eide, didn't have a run in them.
Elem Ibian added 13 points, almost 10 above her average, and eight rebounds while patrolling the paint for the Gamecocks.
Only four teams have reached the 60-point mark against South Carolina, and the Jackrabbits looked primed to make it five when they hung with the Gamecocks for the first 10 minutes of the game.
The Gamecocks, who matched last season's win total with their 25th victory, the most by the program in the SEC era (beginning 1991-92), found their shooting touch midway through the first half, hitting seven straight shots to build a 28-21 lead.
They began pulling away when Tiffany Mitchell and Asia Dozier made 3-pointers from the left corner to push the lead to double digits.
"You can force momentum by picking up defense," Staley said. "After the first seven minutes, we got our footing. We were hitting shots, which makes life easier."
This was the Jackrabbits' fifth straight NCAA tournament appearance. But after beating TCU in their first NCAA game in 2009, they've lost five straight times in the NCAAs.
The Jackrabbits have been one-and-done in each of their past four trips, to the NCAA tournament, seeded 14th, 15th, 13th and 13th. Their only NCAA win came in 2009, when they were a No. 7 seed and beat TCU before losing to Baylor.
"Well, it's a challenge," Jackrabbits coach Aaron Johnston said. "I remember our first year we were a 7 seed and that's a much better position to be in versus who you're going to be playing against. If we stay in that 13-14-15 seed, we're going to be playing people who are top-20 teams.
"We've played the kind of non-conference schedule that it takes to get a little better seed, and I thought we played pretty well this year. We just didn't have a couple of (more) wins that we needed."
So, while the Gamecocks advanced, the Jackrabbits prepared to go home and regroup.
"The difference between being a 13 seed and a 10 seed is probably two wins for us," Johnston said. "We're not talking about having to go back and reshape everything we do."

Mayfield takes helm as chair of Division of Languages and Literature
Dr. Arch Mayfield, professor of English at Wayland Baptist University, is now serving as chairman of the Division of Languages and Literature at Wayland.
Mayfield, who began teaching at Wayland in 1973, replaces Dr. Don Cook, who stepped down to concentrate on teaching and writing and who, incidentally, was Mayfield's Sunday school teacher from 1958-61.
A native of Weinert, Mayfield came to Wayland in the spring just two courses shy of earning his master's degree from Hardin-Simmons University. Filling the shoes of a retiring professor, Mayfield completed his degree the summer after that semester. He went on to earn a doctorate in English from Texas Tech in 1988.
While at Wayland, Mayfield has regularly taught classes in freshman composition, fiction, British literature and American literature, which he considers his specialization. He also teaches advanced-level English courses.
Mayfield considers his time at Wayland valuable and hopes to continue the tradition of excellence the division has long enjoyed.
"I hope we can continue to make an effective contribution to the liberal arts part of the university mission statement," he said.
"One thing I try to emphasize is that literature is an outgrowth and interpretation of life. If you keep that connection, it keeps you seeing that what you're studying fits into your education."
Cook, who first came to Wayland in 1964, holds quite possibly the record for the longest tenure as a division chairperson. He took the helm of the division in 1968 and has seen it through various transitions.
After those years in leadership, he said he enjoyed the chance to take it easier.
"I welcome the opportunity in my remaining years at Wayland to concentrate more on teaching - my first love - and writing and to step aside and allow Dr. Mayfield, who is eminently qualified, to chair the division," Cook said. "He is respected and admired by the members of our division and the entire academic community."
A graduate of Hardin-Simmons, the University of Texas-Austin and Texas Tech, Cook said he had opportunities over the years to move up to bigger institutions, but enjoyed his role at Wayland.
"The environment here is very pleasant, almost ideal. I have enjoyed the support of truly dedicated faculty and administrators and take a measure of pride in working closely with good people whose concern for growth has been tempered with a genuine concern for quality," he said. "I am pleased to have played my small part in the success of the Wayland venture."
During his time at Wayland, Cook has taught most English courses in the catalog, with a fondness for advanced grammar, poetry, linguistics and Shakespeare. He has served on many faculty and administrative search committees, received several university service awards, published a collection of religious poetry and sponsored a men's Christian fraternity. Cook was appointed the Danforth Associate for Wayland in 1970 and was nominated three times for the Piper Professor award, selected once as Wayland's designate.
