But Millar is no strange to puzzles, having created hundreds of all kinds over the past decade. He is a web and graphic designer, software engineer and puzzle author, who has been creating and posting his creations on his website The Griddle since 2006. It contains more than 1,000 of his puzzles, with new ones added regularly. They are not confined to just mazes though, he also creates logic, word, number and several...read more...

The documentary about Scottish pro-cyclist David Millar is being directed by Finlay Pretsell.
Scottish producer Iain Smith has boarded cycling documentary David Millar Project as executive producer.
The documentary, directed by former Scottish pro cyclist Finlay Pretsell, will follow David Millar - who was recently kicked off Garmin-Sharp’s Tour de France team - through the 2014 season, taking in several European pro races along the way including Glasgow’s Commonwealth Games.

I’m very excited about Finlay’s vision for the film, and delighted to contribute to the film’s potential, and to support...

It's a grim pattern, familiar enough that it's even gotten the Hollywood treatment: Eric Lawson, an actor who played the Marlboro Man in cigarette ads during the late '70s, died on Jan. 10 of a smoking-related illness - at least the fifth Marlboro Man to pass away from such circumstances. Lawson, an actor and model who had smoked since age 14, died of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at the age of 72. Like other former Marlboro Men, he turned against tobacco later in life, speaking out against smoking on Entertainment Tonight and in an anti-cigarette PSA, though he did not give up...

The first picture of Ben Foster as Lance Armstrong has been released.
The Kill Your Darlings actor plays the disgraced cyclist in the currently untitled project from director Stephen Frears.
StudioCanal unveiled the first promo photo from the film on Twitter earlier today (October 22). It was later shared by British cyclist David Millar, who is helping out with the project.
Chris O'Dowd will play journalist David Walsh in the film, while Guillaume Canet and Breaking Bad actor Jesse Plemons will also have key supporting roles.
Trance's John Hodge has written the screenplay, which is based on Walsh's book Seven Deadly Sins: My Pursuit of Lance Armstrong.
The film centres around Armstrong's rise during the 1990s and early 2000s and his battle with cancer. It also follows Walsh's role in exposing Armstrong's doping secret.

Andy Schleck won at the highest finish in Tour history, but Thomas Voeckler clings on to the yellow jersey by 15 seconds
Stage 18: Pinerolo to Col du Galibier (200.5km)
Three of the Tour's nine hors category Alpine climbs loom ominously between the riders and the finish line today in a stage that should go some way towards sorting out the men from the boys ... unlike several other stages we predicted would do so, only for the Gc to remain more or less the same.
First up is the Col Agnel (2,744m), the third-highest pass in Tour history, followed by the Col d'Izoard (2,360m) with an average ascent of 7.1%. Finally, an exhausted field must tackle the Col du Galibier (2,645m), where the first rider to the summit will stand on the stage-winner's podium at a higher altitude than any competitor in Tour de France history.
