Movie Info
"The Invention of Lying" takes place in an alternate reality in which lying--even the concept of a lie--does not even exist. Everyone--from politicians to advertisers to the man and woman on the street--speaks the truth and nothing but the truth with no thought of the consequences. But when a down-on-his-luck loser named Mark suddenly develops the ability to lie, he finds that dishonesty has its rewards. In a world where every word is assumed to be the absolute truth, Mark easily lies his way to

There are cycles of inspiration and rebirth, but the barbed promise of the early going loses its way in choices aimed at sentimentality rather than, as Harvey Kurtzman memorably put it, humor in a jugular vein.
I think the first half hour would be almost impossible to sustain because it is so inspired.
The last third of the movie is as bad as anything I've seen this year, with the laughs trailing off, and half of the supporting characters, the zestier ones, being airbrushed from the frame.
That a great comic idea does not necessarily make for a great screen comedy is the lesson for first-time writer-director-star Ricky Gervais as he comes unstuck.
Despite the ambitious scope of its premise, this confounding, disappointing and, in the end, depressing movie is content to devote 80 percent of its screen time to wondering who gets to kiss the girl.
Light and disposable entertainment to be sure, but that trademark dry Gervais wit keeps the proceedings engaging enough.
As mildly amusing as it can be in places, it still won't convince non-fans that Gervais can play anything other than the fool.
Gervais' satiric barbs on religion, beauty, disillusionment and the basic human need for hope aim for our comfort zones, and they all hit home.
The comedy is definitely there, but a heavy romantic focus drags it down in parts.
While there is nothing wrong with a comedy engaging in religious satire, neither Gervais nor Robinson seems willing to take on the topic thoughtfully.
A high-concept, laugh-free over-indulgence that blows up terribly in the face of its smug star.
Gervais's attempts at ridiculing faith through satire only ends up becoming an offensive caricature backed with atheistic egotism.
There's clear comic potential in the film's high concept, and a fair amount of it is realized.
A wry case for atheism, The Invention of Lying would have sent many Americans into an uproar if anyone had bothered to see it.
Gervais has helped craft a funny but inconsistent film, yet I'd be lying if I didn't mention that I appreciate the ambition and humor put into what could have been a one-note premise.
...its weakness is its lack of bite. It's too sweet and gentle for its own good.
Mr. Gervais... has given us a static, crass Phil Connors to introduce the world to belief in the supernatural. Where are the Ghostbusters when you need them?
Fans of Gervais from the classic TV shows Extras and The Office will enjoy the half-sentences, stop-start comic delivery and awkward pauses that have become his trademark.
The fatal flaw of The Invention of Lying is that the film conspires with the hero -- not against him -- in a way that's ideologically driven and humourless.
A high-concept comedy with a low yield of laughs, The Invention of Lying fights a losing battle with what was never a winning idea for a movie.
Ricky Gervais' new film isn't as out-and-out funny as you might have hoped, but it's still got some funny moments.
Light, touching and entertaining, this comedy turns syrupy towards the end but is nonetheless sweetly affecting.
Ricky Gervais is a brave and creative talent and this subversive, ultimately romantic film about the value of white lies certainly has its moments.
Audience Reviews for The Invention of Lying
The love story arc of Anna figuring out what she wants in a mate is well-paced with a nice moment of her defending the chubby kid who got ice cream smashed in his face by the better-gened kids. Mark's weepy moment of describing a Kindergartener's conception of Heaven to his frightened, dying mother is lovely, but the rest of his Christian scripture is a bit slapstick, and I was disappointed that the movie didn't make more of a comment on spiritual solace, the truth and lies of religion, and Truth's partner: Consequences.
Ricky Gervais does his cheeky hosting bit in the proselytizing scenes, but he actually gets rather endearing and emotional throughout the movie. I do love seeing PSH in oafish comedic roles, and I'm digging Louis C.K.'s Above Average Schmo schtick more and more. Jennifer Garner is also requisitely frosty and vapid, then tender and sweet.
I especially dig Anna's deleted scene monologue of her appeal, which says so much about real-life Millennial women, female romantic leads in movies, and Anna's own character who just comes off as flatly bitchy at first: "In fact, there are very few things in life I care that much about. The only things I have to offer myself, or anyone else are my good looks and my affected sense of quirkiness which artistically inclined men interpret as intellect. I think my best trait is the fact that I've made very few mistakes. Socially, academically, financially, romantically. I take very few risks and therefore lead a relatively happy, light-hearted existence. Mostly though, I am a kind, sweet person with the potential of genuinely becoming a vital and interesting human being the day I take the energy I expend on hyper-self-reflexivity and apply it to actual action in the reality of my life."

Of the 200 items on the examination, only 160 items are scored to determine whether you meet or surpass the minimum criterion (passing) score for that form of the NCE. The remaining 40 items on the exam are being field tested to determine their appropriateness for future use. Since the 160 items to be scored are not identified in the exam booklet, you should respond with equal effort to all items.
The MAXIMUM possible score on the NCE is 160, and the minimum criterion (passing) score is derived from a modified Angoff procedure. The NCE is not scored on a "curve," therefore the candidate pool does not determine the passing score.
NBCC will mail examination results to examinees within eight weeks of the date of the examination. No scores are released by telephone. It is your responsibility to send written notification to NBCC if there is a change of address. Click here to email a change of address.
NBCC's score report contains: (1) your number of correct responses for 13 domains on the NCE and your TOTAL SCORE, which is the sum of the correct responses; (2) the group mean and standard deviation for each domain and the total exam; (3) the minimum criterion (passing) score for that form of the NCE. If your TOTAL SCORE meets or exceeds the minimum criterion score, you have passed the NCE. Score reports are mailed only to the examinee at the address provided on the NCC application or Exam Registration Form.
Your specific examination scores will not be released to a third party without your written permission. Scores cannot be released until all requirements, including fees, are fulfilled.

Premiere's Pain Spray
Back Pain Relief: a Natural Remedy
We're a nation in pain. And a lot of it settles in our backs! On any given day, 1 in every 20 Americans—15 million people—suffers from back pain.
- Back pain is the second most common pain ailment in America, surpassed only by headache pain.
- Back pain is the most common cause of U.S. doctor office visits; and it vies with the common cold for most missed workdays each year.
- Together, upper back pain and lower back pain attack 4 out of 5 of us, at one time or another.
- Nationwide, we spend at least $50 billion annually on low back pain alone, the most common cause of job-related injury.
Acute or chronic back pain?
When back pain strikes, it's hard to know whether it's "acute" or "chronic pain." Whatever your genetically-influenced pain tolerance, both acute and chronic back pain interfere with work, routine daily activities and weekend recreation. Nevertheless, they are different. Here are some tips to help you figure it out which one you've got.
Acute back pain is usually caused by a mild trauma to the lower back. It can result from a sports injury, housework or gardening, lifting, or the sudden jolt to spine and bones that happens in a car accident. Acute back pain can certainly feel severe, but it's generally short-term, lasting from a few days up to a few weeks. Symptoms can include nagging muscle ache, sharp knife-like pain, loss of flexibility, impaired range of motion or difficulty standing up straight.
Chronic back pain is often similar in feeling and intensity. The major difference is that it persists. How long? Frankly, it depends who you ask. Some doctors say that if pain lasts longer than 3 months, it's chronic. Others say it has to linger for 6 months. And a few won't diagnosis chronic pain until the person has suffered for a full year.
Remember, though, chronic pain doesn't necessarily mean non-stop discomfort. Many people with chronic back pain can go for months without feeling a lot of discomfort—only to have it return suddenly, intensely, and frequently without a clear reason.
Is lower back pain "a forever thing"?
Luckily for those living with lower back pain, the vast majority of cases do heal with time and a bit of common sense. Whether it's the result of an injury or just the aches that comes with age, keep these guidelines in mind.
- Take it easy but keep moving. Researchers have investigated how bed rest affects back pain and they've concluded that it only makes the pain worse. Keep moving. Experts say that it is actually a mistake to stop all activity. And new research confirms the notion that light activity helps you heal faster.
- Start hot/cold therapy. The heat relaxes muscles and the cold reduces pain. You can alternate by applying a hot compress (or heating pad) for 15 minutes and then switching to a cold compress for 15 minutes. (Frozen vegetable bags are wonder cold packs because they mold to your back.)
- Return to normal activities. When? As soon as possible; but be careful to not strain your back in the process.
- Watch your posture. If let yourself slouch into the pain, you'll only prolong your misery. Stand as straight as you can. And if you return to a job where you sit for long periods of time, make sure you have a chair with a high, straight back—and sit right up against it.
- Do low-impact exercise everyday. The American Academy of Family Physicians recommends walking. But many doctors agree that you'll get just as much benefit from stretching or swimming. Avoid running, jogging and twisting until you feel better.
- Try a complementary therapy. This includes, for example: yoga, chiropractic, therapeutic massage, reflexology or acupuncture. Studies substantiate the benefits of all these treatments. Check your insurance policy because some policies cover these medical visits.
- Don't smoke. Smoking increases your risk of back injury and worsens back pain in those suffering from it. Some investigators suspect it's because smoking reduces oxygen flow to your muscular-skeleton system and that, in turn, weakens the back.
- Lose a few pounds. Being overweight definitely ups your chances of another injury.
- Avoid aspirin. If an injury occurs, go easy on grocery store pain relievers because there are serious health risks associated with aspirin and ibuprofen (including stomach and intestinal bleeding, impaired kidney function and high blood pressure).
Seek a Natural Solution
Fortunately, there are now herbal pain relief products that work as well—or better—than aspirin, without harmful side effects.
Premiere's Pain Spray is the perfect natural remedy for back pain relief. Whether the pain is from a one-time sports mishap or caused by persistent arthritis, this all natural solution has been giving powerful back pain relief to people nationwide, for over 20 years.
Pain Spray also eases neck pain, shoulder pain, arthritis pain, shingles pain, carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, pinched nerves, tendinitis and muscle sprain. Relief is felt within seconds and lasts 4-5 hours. Safe for all ages.

"as much a news event as an actual footballer, a worthy stop-start centre forward, but an all-time hyper-galactico when it comes to doing funny things with cars and hats, a player whose signing proves once again that the Premier League is still undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to doing things with cars and hats."

Gilly comes in at number 4
'Sheez, look at that one!' - The Age - Melbourne'
How wrong that statement would turn out to be.After two years in Perth he had done enough for a call-up to the national one-day team. He batted in the middle order, until Mark Taylor's decline became unignorable and Gilchrist moved to the top, just seven weeks after taking over the gloves from Healy. That was in December 1997. South African players taunted him in Sydney, off-spinner Pat Symcox asking, "How many does this ground hold?"
Replied Gilchrist, naively, "35,000".
Said Symcox, grinning: "That makes 35,000 who hate you."
The most entertaining player I've seen play for Australia. The fireworks at the start of an ODI innings was must see for a decade when Gilchrist was in the side and was a key cog in one of the greatest test sides of all time.
They have possibly given away the order:
Lillee at 3
Warne at 2
The Don at 1
Grimmett the unlucky man in this poll. Having to compete with 2 other great spinners has hurt him in selection.
ah, that article on miller by ian chappell!! i am telling you guys. he is the straightest shooter in town and i love him for that. i especially liked the last line. quite revealing about what kind of a man ian actually is.

A word from The Mariner's Inn
When Bill and Betty Von Rutenberg opened The Mariner's Inn in 1966, they set out to provide a steak and seafood dining experience like none other. Mouth watering, delicious steaks aged to perfection and an assortment of seafood from lobster to the famous Friday Fish Fry.Continued
Bill and Betty's sons, Bill, Jack, and Robert, along with their crew, now carry on the tradition of outstanding hospitality of von Rutenberg Ventures. Waterfront dining on the patio and a sunset over the marina make dinner at Mariner's an evening to remember.

- Needs updating!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/30/2014Food and overall restaurant needs updating. Service was good. Prices are crazy for what you get as far as food goes.
- OK, not great. B+BoaterYachtsmanDined on 8/23/2014Our waiter was excellent, sadly our food was just OK. Actually, for the price, it really wasn't even OK. I am not shy about spending good money for great food but did not find the food much above average although dinner for two was 130.00. There wasn't anything particularly wrong to complain about. But, there wasn't much particularly right about it either. We felt they used quality ingredients but cooked them inexpertly. Maybe it was the chef's night off? Not likely on a Saturday. We won't try again anytime soon. There are many other restaurants in Madison to choose from that have that special something that makes for a great meal.Special Features:
- Excellent ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/22/2014We had reservations for a party of 7 with a special request for a table out of the main thoroughfare. Our request was honored and they were ready to seat us when all arrived. The view of the lake added much to the atmosphere. Our party had a smattering of different choices on the menu including the New York Strip steak (done to perfection and flavorful) and deep fried shrimp (generous portion, light golden batter) . But the crowning glory was our server, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and anticipated our every whim without hovering. The party near us was celebrating a birthday, and our server obliged them by singing "Happy Birthday" in Italian, no less! Her melodic and beautiful voice only added to the uniqueness of the visit.Special Features:
- Nice ambienceRestaurantbylakesDined on 8/3/2014The vegetarian pasta was good, but it needed more vegetables than peppers and onions.the walleye was exceptional. My mother-in-law order steak medium rare,but it was medium well when it arrived. She could neither cut nor eat her steak.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- birthdaydiners2Dined on 8/1/2014Great steaks and onion rings. Service excellent. Fantastic ambiance. A bit expensive but very nice for special dinners which is why we were there.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/28/2014The steak is outstanding, at a reasonable price. We were celebrating a birthday and appreciated the attention. Great waiter. Thanks!Special Features:

- GreatDined on 7/25/2014Great dining experience! Atmosphere was great. Food was very good. It was restaurant week and we were not informed prior to attending.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Abandon ship!dahtruthDined on 7/25/2014Hey mates, there by nothin' like the whiff of a dark moody room to set the mood at this maritime disaster. Your timbers will be all a shiver when you sail across the worn, uneven carpet to dock alongside a sticky table. Bring your treasure chest to pay for the overpriced, meager portions. Cast off your worries about saving room for desert. My cheesecakes was so small I thought it was a sample for me to approve before the actual slice was presented.
- Far below averageOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/25/2014Poor choice for Restaurant Week!! We were more than disappointed in out food.Special Features:
- Great Dining Experience!DDDinerDined on 7/24/2014The food and the service were very good. Best clam chowder I've ever had! Will definitely return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never Miss ItlindorsDined on 7/23/2014We always visit the Mariner's Inn during restaurant week! Surf & Turf is top-notch, and the service is always great. Also, it is very cool that it is a family-run operation, and the owner has always greeted us on our way in and when we leave. VRV does the dining experience correctly!Special Features:
- Not HappyDrifterDined on 7/23/2014We had really bad service and I didn't consider the food the best of quality. My steak was okay, but my friends steak was non flavorful and wanted steak sauce and the waiter never came back to see how we were and baked potato's came at the end of the dinner.Special Features:
- KRS027Dined on 7/22/2014A traditional favorite restaurant for generations continues today what Mother and Father started. We were some of the lucky ones to receive our menu from Betty--verbally! Nobody else could do it like she did it. The family clearly continues what the parents started....and with the same high level of standards. It is more on the pricey side but if it is a special ocassion, The Mariner's Inn staff will show you that you made the right choice. Dont't forget the hash browns. They are a must.Special Features:
- Great dining experienceluvgoodfoodDined on 7/21/2014We had an awesome dining experience at Mariner's Inn last night. The scenic view of the lake along with the great service and food made the evening a very pleasurable experience. Even though it was Restaurant Week the food was prepared perfectly and served on a timely basis. The wait staff were all friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable of the food and wine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- AnnieDined on 7/20/2014Great dining for "that special event"..... Families can enjoy the outdoor view with the freedom to roam. Food is of good choices with a cocktail that sets the mood!Special Features:
- Meh....JenniferDined on 7/19/2014Expensive food that can be found cheaper, with equal quality, at other restaurants. Drinks were quite expensive for the amount we got. Bottles of wine were almost triple the cost if you bought it at a winery or store. My order was wrong but the correct order was out pretty quickly. Had a fellow singing and playing guitar on the patio which was nice. Waitstaff were very friendly. Nice but not overly impressive. Glad our meal and drinks were covered by a gift certificate.Special Features:

- best steak,water view,staff,in townGIGIx3Dined on 7/5/2014we had a group of 3 generations celebrating 2 birthdays. everyone loved the nautical atmosphere,the drinks were fantastic, the steaks were done to perfection and the seafood was wonderfully delicious and healthful. the young adults loved the 'included' salad and vegetable and the steaks were sizzling hot. the hash brown potatoes were devoured by us all ..and were as wonderful as we had all hoped they would be. staff was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. we arrived by boat and had a reservation for our 'odd' number of guests. overall one of the BEST birthday dinners ever. this is our 'go-to' steak restaurant ..for all occasions//anywhere in the Madison area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ShrimpOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/5/2014This is what shrimp should taste like when you go out. I was so pleasantly surprised....I would make the trip just for that but the rest of the meal was very enjoyable. Service and surroundings capped off a wonderful dinner out!!
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/1/20148 of us to celebrate anniversaries. Felt welcome from the time we entered. Waitress excellent. Food superb!Special Features:
- A Little OverpricedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/28/2014For $33 you received a steak, salad and potato. Nothing special about the steak, although it was a good sized portion. The hashbrowns were delicious as advertised. Nice location and dinner, but won't return often due to the price.Special Features:
- Dinner on the Yahara RiverwaterwaderDined on 6/27/2014As much as we enjoy going to The Mariner's Inn, we always seem to get a table close to the large party room on the end, which can be very noisy, as it was that evening. It also took our server a long time to get to us because she was also waiting on the party in that room. But as always, the meal was excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great fooddadzigDined on 6/26/2014Great food and service. The staff always made sure we had water, rolls or anythind else we needed.Special Features:
- Quaint but PriceyOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/26/2014Mariner's Inn has been a good place to go for special occasions, if you are not too concerned about price vrs. quality. The wait staff are always friendly and you can't beat the view of the marina ... very enjoyable patio overlooking the water. Food prices seem a bit high for the quantity and quality of food you receive. Drink prices are reasonable. As far as ambiance and furnishings, it is much like stepping back into a typical Wisconsin supper club ... seems to not have been updated in decades.
- the best!AnniversaryDined on 6/21/2014A great dinner, don't know how it could have been better.Special Features:
- Love Mariner's InnLovMarinersInnDined on 6/20/2014We have celebrated many birthdays and anniversaries over the years at Mariner's Inn. Love the friendly people that greet us and the always wonderful food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our FavoriteJanJohnDined on 6/15/2014The Mariner's Inn is consistent QUALITY - for us it is close to home, accessible for my wife's mobility scooter & they make you feel like they really appreciate your business. We have heard complaints & parts of the building are a bit dated, but for us it is just the best. A local "supper club" that you just know will be a good dining experience. Far more enjoyable than the national chain locations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A timeless gem!WisconsoniteDined on 6/14/2014The quality of food, service and ambiance has been consistently strong for generations! We hadn't been here in a while and asked ourselves, why not?! The service was slow for some reason on this visit, but apologies and comp desserts were offered without a need for us to mention it. There's something very special about a family-owned tradition!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dining at Mariner's InnspecialoccasiondiningDined on 6/14/2014We arrived exactly on time for the 6:30 reservation we had. We waited for quite awhile to be seated. I spoke to the hostess a second time asking why others were seated before us when they knew our total party was there. They did seat us shortly there after. We all ordered the "famous" hash browns but were disappointed that they were not very special. The decor needs to be updated…. It is basically the same as when I dined at Mariners 20 years ago.Special Features:

Raystorm HD Review (XBLA)
Posted by Jim Cook, May 27, 2010 19:59
A game must be evaluated on at least two aspects; not only its overall merit as a game, but what kind of value it represents to the player. This leaves Raystorm HD in a bad position: It is a decent scrolling shooter, but aside from updating the graphics over its 1996 incarnation it does nothing special... yet its price tag is 1200 Points/$15. The end result is a game that is reasonably fun, but costs about triple what it should.
Raystorm HD is like most other games in its genre, giving you several short, arcade-style stages where you fly a plane on a vertical 2D play-field and blast enemies along the way. You have your choice between a few different planes, each with subtly different advantages, and power-ups along the way will help you out. The controls are simple, with the d-pad or left analog stick moving your plane, one button firing regular bullets, another firing lasers that can hit targets your regular attack cannot, and finally a 'bomb everything' style move that you can use in emergencies. With each stage being only a few minutes long, you'll likely complete a run through Raystorm HD in about half an hour.
While it's a competent experience for a lone player, a friend can only join in if they're playing in the same room as you; there is no online co-op. Perhaps to compensate for this, clearing the game a few times will unlock some additional modes including "13 Planes", where you get a limited number of each of the planes in the game and have to complete all the stages with them. It's an interesting mode, though by the time you unlock it you may have had your fill of this game's enemies and stages.
Since the heart of this game is very similar to the original version, the only huge change is the graphics. While still recognizable as Raystorm, this version of the game has been updated to modern standards and does look decent. The only serious complaint is that some weapon effects your planes can make will block your view of enemy attacks, and thus it's very easy to get hit by things you can't see. Thankfully this problem doesn't happen too often, and the core game play of "fly around, shoot enemies, gather power-ups, and kill a huge boss before you repeat the process in the next stage" works out fairly well.
On the other hand, that's really all Raystorm HD does. It's a mid-90s shooter with nothing to make it stand out, and one can only describe it in terms like 'competent', 'decent', and 'okay'; it never rises above that. Fans of the genre should enjoy Raystorm, but this game will wear out its welcome fairly quickly.
Most of what you're paying for is new graphics, and those do not make a game; they only improve something that is already great. Raystorm HD would be a fair buy for genre enthusiasts at 400 Points/$5, while 800/$10 would be a stretch and its actual price of 1200/$15 is absurd. There are several games in this genre that are in lower price brackets and are just as good or better than Raystorm HD, and with that in mind I can only advise you to purchase it if the price goes down; otherwise it's a case of a merely competent game costing too much money.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - A Milwaukee judge has ordered the head of a private school to pay back $300,000 in tax money he received to teach low-income kids under the state's voucher program.
The only problem is that no one seems to know where 41-year-old Corey Daniels is.
Process servers have tried for months to find Daniels, and give him a summons outlining the state's complaint against him. He ran the Milwaukee Institute of Academic Achievement in the 2011 and '12 school year when reports surfaced about students being in danger.
The state Department of Public Instruction later terminated the institute's participation in the choice program. The DPI said the school submitted false documents to the state, was never eligible to get the tax money it received.
Also, the DPI has barred Daniels from operating another voucher school.
When the choice program was expanded this year, the law only allowed previously-existing private schools to participate. The change was meant to discourage people from quickly putting together a private school in order to accept the public voucher money.

It has been nearly three months since Tripp Halstead, 2, was hit by a falling branch.
For the first time, his family released a photo taken of Tripp in the hospital just a few days after the injury. It is a picture that Tripp's dad, Bill, said was posted on Facebook to show followers how much progress he's made.
"It is pretty awesome," Bill Halstead said. "His hair is starting to come back in real good now, he is starting to look the way he did before, he is a little chubbier now. But, we know he has a long ways to go, but we are so stinking proud of the little guy for how far he has come already, he has come a long way fast."
Halstead said Tripp recently had a Baclofen pump installed in his lower right abdomen that directly administers the muscle relaxer medicine into his spinal column.
"It really helps keep his muscles from tensing up so he's not stiff like a board," Halstead said. "He's getting better, every day he is getting a little more, every day. But, it's kind of like Stacy and I say, even if it's a millimeter forward, forward is forward."
Tripp is even getting out of the hospital more, taking trips to the Georgia Aquarium and going other places.
"It's good to get out of the hospital," Halstead said. "You can see his eyes darting a little bit more when he's out."
Tripp goes through therapy sessions every day. On Monday, doctors were testing his brain function by asking him questions and having him answer yes or no by pushing buttons.
"They asked him several questions and he got every single one of them right, except for his age, and to get 7 out of 8 questions right it seems more than just a coincidence to us," Halstead said. "You can definitely tell he is in there, he is trying to come out, but he's in there."
Halstead said they posted the picture of Tripp in the hospital with tubes on his body to let people who follow his Facebook page know just how far he has come.
"You look at the old pictures, and it's hard to believe not too long ago we were worried about him even surviving," Halstead said. "And those pictures of him with the wires and tubes that was survival mode strictly. Survival is not something we are worried about as much lately. Now, it's just how far can we go? How far can we take this? It would be our ultimate dream to see him running around smiling and happy and playful like he was before. So, that is what we are going to aim for and get as close to that as we can possibly get."
Tripp's motor functions are improving as well. He is able, at times, to reach for items across his body, which is something Halstead said is a very difficult task for patients with traumatic brain injuries.

Mayor Jerry Abramson today announced that construction is underway on the $110 million Louisville Marriott Downtown Hotel – a 617-room facility that represents the largest single investment in downtown Louisville in more than a decade.
And even before the foundation is laid for the hotel, Marriott and the Louisville Convention and Visitors Bureau officials Wednesday said the new hotel already has landed three conventions and meetings that together will mean more than $3 million in economic impact for the local economy.
"The new Marriott will fuel our local economy and help change the face of our downtown," Abramson said. "The investment, in fact, is already paying off as organizations are booking conventions and meetings for this premiere project in downtown Louisville."
The hotel, expected to be ready for opening in spring 2005, will house more than 44,000 square feet in meeting space, including a 24,000 square foot Louisville Ballroom. Other amenities will include two restaurants and lounges, a Starbucks coffee shop, indoor pool and whirlpool. It will employ about 500 people. The city of Louisville is investing $30 million in the project and will share in the profits. The Marriott will be connected by a pedway to the Kentucky International Convention Center. The convention center also will be connected to the Hyatt Hotel and The Galt House, which is undergoing an extensive renovation.
Marriott and Convention officials Wednesday said they expect several meetings and conventions – totaling thousands of room nights and millions of dollars in economic impact – to be booked in the near future.
The meetings booked starting in 2005 include:
· The Association of Equipment Manufacturers · Weekenders
· The Museum Store Association
"The Marriott will give our community a critical mass of hotel rooms and convention and exhibit space," Abramson said. "That will allow us to compete for – and attract – national conventions and meetings to our community."
Marriott Louisville Downtown Hotel by the numbers
· $110 million project
· 617 hotel rooms
· 44,000 square feet of meeting space
· Scheduled opening – spring 2005
· 500 employees
· Expands the $1 billion tourism and travel business for Louisville

Wonderful House!
This house is exactly as described, even better! Spotlessly clean, nicely furnished, well maintained and very well appointed. Everything you need to make your stay comfortable is provided. The setting is lovely, very private. This is a perfect house for a couple or small family getaway vacation. Short distance and easy access to the lake and very nice parks. The owner was a pleasure to deal with. We wished we could have stayed longer and will definitely stay again in the future.

Guang Yu
Born and raised in Beijing, graphic designer Guang Yu graduated from Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in 2002. He worked in various design roles and studios, including 1 year as Art Director for Surface China, before co-founding TO MEET YOU studio with fellow graphic designer, Liu Zhizhi, in 2008. I met Guang Yu earlier this month to talk design, discuss 798 and learn more about his journey to date.
How did you develop an interest in design?
I was always drawing when I was young; my family picked up on this talent very quickly as I even drew on pavements with chalk. They enrolled me into art classes straightaway, which I took from junior school level right up to university.
As I grew older, I developed an interest in music records and tapes, which I listened to whilst painting. I eventually developed the urge to evolve beyond painting and became fascinated by typography and the idea of arranging elements on paper.
Tell us a bit about TO MEET YOU studio.
I co-founded TO MEET YOU with Liu Zhizhi in 2004. At that time though, the studio was called MEWE Design Alliance as we had a third founding member who eventually left to study abroad. Now we operate as TO MEET YOU with 5 people working in the studio – 2 managing and 3 independent designers. Each designer works on around 8-9 projects a year. We are currently working on visuals for Shenzhen Center for Design.
Where do you draw your inspiration?
A group of us often get together to draw, share ideas and inspire one another. I am also inspired by Japanese street styles.
Why did you decide to base yourself at 798?
Our first office (as MEWE Design Alliance) was situated in a residential area, but we had to eventually sell it. I was running errands in 798 one day, and saw an advertisement in the window for vacant studio space. I called straight away and the decision was made in a couple of days.
So, what do you actually think of 798?
Our office is tucked away in a corner, so I don't really interact with the environment much. It's no secret that 798 has become too commercialised and touristy - it's a messy place, and I remain in my studio a lot. It's just convenient to be here as many of our clients are based in 798.
What are your thoughts about the current state of Chinese design?
On a local level, design is still not that widely accepted. If you wander into a local supermarket and observe the products on sale, for example, the design is not so great. When you look at packaging design in markets abroad, however, you can immediately tell that design is appreciated there. Right now, there is not much of a connection between the public and design; design needs to be filtered down to the masses. This is partially a problem with education, however, I also think that design appreciation will develop naturally when there is a need for it, for example, when there is a need to sell more products.
Where do you see yourself in the future?
I don't really have a clear plan to be honest - I just want to follow my interests!
Thanks to Lynn Zhang for translating.
