There's more than meets the eye in The LEGO Movie. It's not only smart and witty but it also explores the essence of LEGO and Master Building and, finally, storytelling in a Pirandello-like way. I spoke with directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller (at LEGOLAND, of course) about making a subversive movie at Warner Bros. that pokes fun of studios, franchises, and safe storytelling.
You've managed to make a subversive studio movie with an anti-commercial message. And as long as it's a big hit, it's win-win.
Phil Lord: Yeah, everybody wins.
And it reminded me of a bigger Clone High.
Chris Miller: Yeah, for sure. It's like bringing in a lot of weird characters that don't belong.
PL: If you think about it, we haven't evolved at all as filmmakers -- we're just doing the same bit.
But this is a lot more complicated with so much detail.
PL: Yes, we were mixing the movie and we would go...
CM: I didn't remember seeing this in the background and I must've approved it 10 times.
PL: Wasn't it like a pig falls off of the train and then lands on the ground and then explodes into a bunch of sausages.
How many gags are there?
CM: I don't know how many gags per minute there are.
PL: You encourage people to add stuff from their own lives and you just get this big grab bag and everybody's in the pool. And then it really messes you up at the mix because you have to decide what's important.
CM: As long as your eye isn't so distracted, you don't know where to look. But you're definitely rewarded on multiple viewings.
It also reminded me of Blazing Saddles, especially when you open it up as a meta story.
PL: I take that as a compliment. That movie did it better than anybody. Somehow you cared so much about that duo that you were willing to go on that ride. And it had to go there -- it was the only thing that could happen with them winding up watching themselves at the Chinese. In this movie we felt similarly. You had to tell a coherent and immersive, emotional story about a person. And if you did that, everything else could be insane.
CM: The thing about LEGOs is there are infinite possibilities. You could tell any story with LEGO and it was such a challenge to find one story to tell and then pack the edges with extra stuff.
It becomes this fascinating meta story about creativity and Master Building and individuality and collaboration and fathers and sons.
CM: Exactly.
PL: I'm glad that all came through.
And it's the first warm up for The Justice League.
PL: Proto-Justice League.
CM: Before they all joined up as a team.
PL: Yeah, it's kind of an origin story.
CM: But because there are all of these licensed properties that we wanted to fold into this movie, that was another obvious challenge. And both legally [Marvel was not included] and also practically when you're trying to tell a story about one person [Emmet, the Everyman] and a small group of people, one that has forward momentum and a clear emotional arc, there's only so much room for wacky side gags.
But you managed to sneak Star Wars in there. Was that a problem given the Disney deal?
PL: If I could talk about it, I would tell you that it all happened before and it was hard.
CM: If there happened to be any characters from a beloved space movie, they were delightful to work with. But you're allowed to talk about it.
It was a delightful send up.
PL: Don't go into space without a hyper-drive, guys. It'll only lead to disaster and ruin.
Like Star Wars, this quest is very Joseph Campbell: starting from a single block...
PL: And growing. I don't know why, for some reason, it had to be a classic story. Everything we tried deviated too far from that and got hammered back to that classic hero's journey.
CM: We wanted to subvert the idea of the hero's journey. We do at the end a little bit with twisting the idea of a chosen one.
PL: Yeah, our big idea was that he's not allowed to be remotely special at all to start the movie. He's not Neo...he's literally plucked at random. That's interesting to me. Make the chosen one not at all stealth. And so that meant that everything else had to follow that structure.
And the meta story when the world turns on itself?
PL: That was there from the start...
CM: And there was plenty of anxiety. That the look of it would be jarring, that you're following a whole new story and how are you supposed to care about that?
PL: It had to be essential.
CM: It had to answer a lot of questions and it miraculously worked out.
And what was it like working with the Master Builders at Animal Logic?
PL: They're great. They really took this on. We said this has to be lit differently than any movie you've ever worked on. It has to look more photoreal than you've ever made anything. We're going to mix real stop-motion footage with computer-animated footage, and you're not allowed to tell the difference.
What was stop-motion?
PL: We don't want anyone to know.
CM: It's mostly CG and there are some parts in shots that are actually real LEGO that are stop-motion.
PL: They shot that in a basement. And a lot of matte paintings and stuff were builds.
CM: And the end credits were all stop-motion.
PL: And there's crowd sourced material in the movie that people made in their homes and we pulled it in.
I love the look of the ocean.
PL: It's so cool... and hard, and it was hard to decide on the frame rate: Should it be on 2s or 3s? It got really chattery, 'cause obviously they did a fluid dynamics model of an ocean and then figured out how to interpret that...
CM: Through replacement animation.
PL: They wrote all this software because otherwise it would've taken a thousand people and a thousand days to animate that.
What are the frame rates?
CM: It's very fluid but everything's on 1s, 2s, and 3s. It mostly lives in the 1s and 2s.
PL: We said we should make the choices that a stop-motion animator would make. And even the kinds of choices that an amateur would make. There should be a hiccup every once in a while.
CM: There were issues with strobing because we didn't want any motion blur so we solved it by creating this "brick blur," where, if a character is moving very quickly, they had a brick-built trail of the color of their body around them that was like a dry brush effect. But built out of actual bricks. So that was a solve that a clever stop-motion person would do. The idea came from Chris McKay, our animation supervisor. He said they did this thing on Robot Chicken and we developed how to do that. There's a lot of little details like that in the movie and I think audiences can tell when it's lovingly crafted rather than throwing it together cynically.
What was the toughest scene?
PL: The boring answer is the building of the submarine while the world is crashing down. It's Hellzapoppin!
CM: The tricky one was getting any emotion out of these characters that have seven points of articulation and really feel something for them. That's where some of the real subtlety was.
PL: That scene at the grate between Emmet and Lucy where she's flashing back, there's something so satisfying about watching the animators trying to interpret their voice performance. It's so nice and so rare that you really get to do that in a movie that's this manic.

Police received information Thursday afternoon about two students who said they saw a man holding what appeared to be a rifle in the woods near the Mallets Bay School.
Police put that school and Colchester Middle School on lockdown while they searched the area.
They later found a man surveying property near the area. He was wearing clothing similar to what the students described and was carrying surveying tools that may have been mistaken for a firearm.

 A brand new year is here. For many of us, that means making new resolutions or reaffirming old ones. Likewise, many businesses will start 2012 off by resolving to take steps to position their organizations for growth, such as attracting and retaining more customers, increasing revenue or improving operational efficiency.

 So what should your small or midsize business commit to doing in 2012? Here are five resolutions every growth-oriented organization should consider making—and keeping—to ensure positive results throughout the year.

 1. Reduce your reliance on spreadsheets

 Organizations of every size rely on spreadsheets for core functions such as strategic planning, financial reporting and budgeting. For many smaller firms, spreadsheets also serve as an ad hoc business intelligence (BI) tool, exposing companies to a high degree of risk. Spreadsheets require labor-intensive manual processes, are highly error-prone, difficult to consolidate and lack good data integration, access and version control. A better approach is to augment spreadsheets with planning applications that integrate easily with spreadsheets and deliver greater business efficiencies.

 Learn how to manage spreadsheet risk and improve efficiency.

 2. When adopting a BI strategy, think big…but start small

 A strong BI initiative can be a powerful competitive differentiator that enables your small business to stay ahead of the curve. But because you have a limited IT staff and budget, you need a practical solution that enables you to deploy components (for example, reporting, analysis or planning) tactically and incrementally. To succeed, you should "think big" by drawing on the conceptual framework of larger companies—yet scale your approach to fit your more limited resources.

 Find a BI strategy that matches your resources, expertise and budgets.

 3. Understand your customers better by combining BI with predictive analytics

 You know who your customers are, but do you understand them? Adding the power of advanced analytics to your BI deployment can give you critical insights into your customers, including their previous buying patterns, how (and how often) they prefer to hear from you, and which products or services interest them the most. Armed with this deeper understanding, you can predict with greater accuracy what they are likely to need next and market to them in the most effective way. By pairing BI with predictive analytics, you can also see which customers may churn and understand the attributes and behaviors that lead to a defection decision. You can then push that information out to employees through your BI solution so they can take the right preventive actions.

 Learn how IBM® SPSS Modeler® and IBM Cognos® Express can provide small organizations with a distinct competitive advantage.

 4. Tap into mobile BI

 Harnessing the power of smart phones and tablets can give your company the ability to interact in real time with your employees, customers and business partners. Mobile BI gives users immediate, secure access to data, wherever they happen to be. This results in better decision making, greater operational efficiency and flexible workflow. It also increases your firm's responsiveness to your customers and partners.

 Get anywhere, anytime access to analytics, both online and offline.

 5. Optimize your budget and preserve cash flow

 Business analytics software is providing smaller organizations with capabilities that previously only larger companies could afford. But they often lack the capital to invest in leading-edge technology—especially in a tough economy. A smarter, more flexible payment option can help your business acquire the latest technology without interrupting their cash flow.

 Explore flexible, affordable solutions that combine the software, hardware and services your company needs with a predictable monthly payment plan.

 2011 was a year marked by an uncertain economy and challenging business climate. No one knows what this new year will bring, but one thing is certain—the right mix of tools and processes can help you adapt to changing conditions and stay competitive throughout 2012.

The strength of a midsize company lies in its agility. It has fewer layers of management and limited bureaucratic processes. It can respond quickly to changing business conditions and switch marketing tactics, cut operating costs or tap into new revenue streams more quickly than bigger companies in their markets.

A streamlined decision-making process can lead to more agility. And in our volatile market, every company needs to move more quickly, regardless of its size. But companies that base rapid-fire decisions on outdated or inaccurate data simply make bad decisions more quickly.

Data quality a nagging problem

Midsize companies are particularly vulnerable to issues of data quality. Their IT departments often have their hands full keeping pace with the deployment of business applications. Rarely is there extra time or budget to create data definitions and enforce business processes that ensure the integrity of a company's data.

Though data quality issues may be easier to resolve than you think. The IBM white paper Overcome the four IT inhibitors to BI success in midsize companies presents some simple steps midsize companies can take to create and maintain trustworthy business information. The Paper, which features research from Gartner, offers practical strategies that don't require big budgets or a lot of time. They can even lighten IT's load. Here are some highlights:

A little more conversation, a little less action

The better the interdepartmental communication, the better the data quality. IT departments can enhance communication company-wide by deploying easy-to-use business analytics applications. Look for self-service business analytics solutions that can be used by anyone -- salespeople, finance managers, marketing assistants – any person who needs to create his or her own reports and analysis. With self-service analytics, business users have easy access to the business information they need -- and IT has less work to do generating reports.

When everyone has access to the same pool of data, there is less room for error and misunderstanding. There is also less likelihood that turf wars impact data quality. Information is no longer gathered independently and stored by different departments in isolated spreadsheets. People have faster access to the information they need so they can spend more time analyzing data and formulating business strategy. Plus, they don't have to waste time justifying their version of the truth.

Make the technology do the work

Midsize companies should look for business analytics solutions that include reporting, analysis and planning capabilities that are integrated in one solution. Midsize companies don't need to tackle all of these tasks at once, but they should have an easy and clear path for growth as their business analytics needs become more sophisticated.

The benefit of a single, integrated solution is that it enforces data standardization and consistency. It creates the necessary baseline for reliable and effective information sharing across departments. There is no need to spend extra time or effort enforcing best practices for data standardization because it is automatically done for you.

The big guys make mistakes too

Of course, even big companies with big budgets are not immune to bad decision-making. New Coke came out 25 years ago this week. So take some comfort by reading Fast Company's When Bad Products Happen to Big Companies for a list of some colossal big-company flops. And remember what your mother (or business school professors) always told you -- we often learn best from our failures.

Anyone who still likes to see the stars, the dresses, the fun of watching liberals do their thing, please join me! Dishing and heavy sarcasm welcome!
Lovely Sandra Bullock wins playing a southern conservative woman ho is the heroine! Who would have thought it?
Did Cameron storm out?
"Well the time has come"
Bite Me.
Can you believe there have been no transgendered Best Directors?
Glad Cameron lost.
Love Sandra. Hate her lipstick choice... it's way too harsh.
And I like her with a softer, more brown hair color.
James Cameron is getting his ass kicked tonight.
I hope so!
You're such a tease!
LOL. Ex-Wifey beats husband tonight. Whoo-hoo.
I think he is extremely shy.
I agree, Onyx - why didn't she at least wash her hair?
I have a little crush on Jeremy Renner.
Really? She looks great!
I can't get over BS looking so awful!
I turned my TV off for 5 minutes the second she appeared on stage.
I was rooting for Tarantino, but this is ok.
cameron is a loser... five ex wives
Actually almost 60...
No way, really? I love the design of her gown not the color. She looks like she is in her 40s. Check out her arms.
They both were - a beautifl speech she gave, great shot of the Toueys, she worked very hard keeping her composure, that was emotional. Congratulations!!!
Good..I barely glanced.
They both were - a beautifl speech she gave, great shot of the Toueys, she worked very hard keeping her composure, that was emotional. Congratulations!!!
Bigelow looks better than Cameron's current, Suzy Amis, and Suzy has aged VERY badly... must be Cameron destroying their souls. :-P
Not hot.
I'm not actually watchign the oscars...just enjoying the board...holly wood is non impressive for me for the most part...besides it is the 60's crowd who still shows up there and they'll keep coming til on their deathbed.
Kathryn Bigelow is 58...
His body language is classic ... POd.
LOL. It'll be a whole 30 minutes OVER TIME before this gang is done.
"I am Woman" as music for female director's exit...
We needed another liberal weenie. Thank goodness for Mr. Hanks.
cameron shaking his head he can't believe it Hurt Locker is gonna win best picture too
See above, it's part of an on-going joke between those two.
"Five ex wives" - Now, I wonder why? LOLOLOL~~!
Wow, didn't even read off the nominations. Just boom.
Wow, that announcement was FAST!
Avatar got smoked tonight! I love it!
It's over now.
Happy to see "The Hurt Locker" win, although I was pulling for "Up in the Air."
WOW - NO lead up - just BOOM - Best picture Hurt Locker!!!
am i good or am I good?
He is a cutie.
Best Movie— "The Hurt Locker"
I didn't see her. Listening and typing.
Hurt Locker won. Ha ha ha ha.
I can't see Avatar because of the 3D. I would
have to take several airline bags with me and
still it wouldn't be fun.

The thought of other children going without toys, bikes or birthday presents weighs heavily on third grader Rachel Harris.
To help, she founded Let's help Kids, which most recently delivered Halloween costumes to children in local shelters. They give away bikes, scooters and even supply moon bounces and birthday presents.
"Their parents are like, honey we can't afford to buy that and it just breaks their hearts," says Rachel. "So that's why we started this company."
Rachel took some cues from her mother, who owns a marketing company.
"So she named it, it's her concept, she worked with one of the designers in my company to do the logo and acted like a client and now she has her own company," says Jen Sterling, Rachel's mother.
Let's Help Kids holds fundraisers to pay for the gifts and work with teachers, pastors and caseworkers to find needy children.
And so the happiness spreads, one child's smile at a time.

Has anyone given birth at the Naval Hospital?? I keep hearing bad things about Naval hospitals in general, but don't know if those are rumors or not.

I just gave birth there in July and it was awesome..I had no problems at all and they even let us stay in one of the birthing suites after I was discharged because my daughter had to stay almost an extra week for antibiotics. The nurses were very nice and make sure you have everything you need. Feel free to PAN me if you have any questions!

text: 254 FXUS63 KAPX 010355 AFDAPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 1155 PM EDT TUE MAY 31 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 953 PM EDT Tue May 31 2016 Pretty quiet out there this evening, but busier wx isn`t all that far away. As high pressure progresses east, southerly flow is increasing. For us at the moment that is only resulting in some cirrus and mid clouds. PWAT off of 00z APX sounding increased by 0.20 inches vs this morning. But showers are occurring in the west half of upper MI and much of WI. A few SHRA are seen on radar moving north over central Lake MI, the leading edge of sct activity that extends into n central IN. Radar trends and short- term model progs are in reasonable agreement that some spotty light precip will make parts of nw lower and eastern upper mi a little before 12z. Will add sct -SHRA after 5 am for nw lower, near and w of TVC, and western Mackinac Co. No other major changes. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening and overnight) Issued at 245 PM EDT Tue May 31 2016 Surface ridge axis remains over the Great Lakes region this afternoon...providing Northern Michigan with a beautifully sunny and pleasant last day of May. Leading edge of residual mid and high clouds from upstream convection is tending to diminish as it moves eastward into the more stable and dry airmass over our CWA. Temps have warmed into the 60s across Ern Upr Michigan and well into the 70s across much of Nrn Lwr Michigan. The shoreline areas of NE Lwr Michigan are only in the 60s thanks to low level easterly flow off pushing cooler air inland off of Lake Huron. A look upstream shows diurnally enhanced convection increasing in both areal coverage and intensity over the Upper Mississippi valley thanks to building instability and moisture ahead of an approaching cold front. Still appears both the instability axis and the 850 mb theta e ridge ahead of this front will remain west of our CWA thru tonight as eastward push of this whole system will remain rather slow. Thus...tonight will feature mainly scattered to broken residual mid/high cloud streaming eastward into the area from upstream convection. Dry low level easterly flow will keep any low clouds at bay. Low temps will cool mainly into the 50s tonight. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Tuesday) Issued at 245 PM EDT Tue May 31 2016 High impact weather potential: Marginal risk for severe thunderstorms Wednesday. Pattern synopsis/expected evolution: One energetic late May system diving across the northern plains, itself embedded in somewhat of a more zonal regime across central NOAM. Decently coupled upper level jet structure and very aggressive digging mid level energy providing the support for such a strong system. This system is in the process of reaching maturity today, with it expected to slowly opening up as it moves east northeast across southern Canada through mid week. Attendant dynamics will still be rather strong as they swing across northern Michigan Wednesday into Wednesday night, and when coupled with a increasingly narrow, but focused moisture axis, looks to provide the impetus to drive at least a broken band of showers/storms across our area. Conditions look to quiet down for a few days thereafter, with pattern amplification and additional digging energy drumming up additional rain chances heading into the upcoming weekend. Primary forecast concerns/challenges: Addressing shower and thunderstorm evolution (and intensity) Wednesday/Wednesday night. Details: Overhead pattern set to go through some rather significant changes Wednesday into Wednesday night, with departure of current overhead ridge axis as upstream system advances through the region. Focused area of deeper moisture within persistent deep southwest flow regime out ahead of attendant cool front, allowing pwat values to briefly surge to 1.25-1.50 inch levels. While above sounds decent for some beneficial rains, actual collocation of dynamics and deeper moisture is a brief one, and really focused along the frontal slope itself (or perhaps along an upstream convectively induced pre- frontal outflow boundary). Timing for best shower/storm threat remains rather uncertain, and tied to what will be the primary forcing mechanism (cold front or an initial outflow boundary). If main forcing is tied to a pre-frontal outflow boundary, best chances for rain occurs from late morning through the afternoon (with perhaps some additional lighter shower development with passing cold front during the evening). If main impetus for shower development is tied to the cold front, then best chances for rain holds off until the evening hours. Unfortunately, this uncertainty will continue to result in what in all likelihood will be a several hour too long window of high pop mention. Shower chances look to decrease rather substantially during the overnight as surface convergence and what instability there was is lost. With regards to severe thunderstorm potential: Area remains solidly within latest SPC day 2 marginal outlook, and per their verbiage, this centers on a moderately high shear (deep layer shear pushing 40 to 50 knots) low cape (both mean layer and 0-6km cape only on the order of a few hundred joules/kg) environment. Latest guidance trends concur, as does backward run trajectory analysis using latest 12km Nam-Wrf. So, upshot to the above, is while yes cannot completely rule out the chance for a few severe storms, the overall coverage should be minimal and isolated...if it even occurs at all. Forecast concerns Thursday turn to one of a cloud issue as post- frontal high pressure once again brings a refreshing airmass into the lakes. While day long deep layer drying will continue, some evidence for a rather persistent stcu deck to hang tough most of the day, especially for the northern half of the area. More sun than clouds expected by Friday as high pressure centers itself across the area. MSB Low amplitude troughing will give way to height rises working into the region ahead of a shortwave and surface low working through the Northern Plains by late in the week. This shortwave will strengthen into a closed low over the weekend as it moves into the Great Lakes region, which will bring deep troughing through the Tennessee Valley, and possibly some below normal temperatures for us Sunday and going into mid-week. This slow moving low will result in rain chances through the extended. Could be some rumbles of thunder Saturday. Severe potential Saturday looks minimal right now, will keep an eye on the SW portion of the CWA where instabilities are likely to be more favorable with some higher dewpoint air able to advect in ahead of the low. MAYHEW && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night) Issued at 1155 PM EDT Tue May 31 2016 VFR tonight. A touch of MVFR possible Wednesday with SHRA/TSRA. A ridge of high pressure is moving east away from MI. As it departs, southerly flow will increase, bringing increasingly moist air to the region. Low pressure will move north of Superior by late Wednesday, contributing to an increasing SHRA/TSRA threat. Some SHRA may approach MBL/TVC/PLN just after dawn. Much better chances for precip, including thunder, during the upcoming day. Some possibilities for brief MVFR cigs/vsbys, but VFR will be the most common condition thru the day and evening. SE winds nearly 10kt tonight, veering S on Wednesday. && .MARINE... Issued at 245 PM EDT Tue May 31 2016 Winds and waves will remain just below SCA criteria thru Thursday despite the approach and passage of a cold front Wednesday into Wednesday night. Chances of precip increasing on Wednesday ahead of our next cold front...and will continue into Wednesday evening as the front moves thru. Dry weather will return on Thursday as high pressure builds back into the Wrn Great Lakes region. && .APX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... MI...NONE. LH...NONE. LM...NONE.

I love twitchy games and this is definitely a hard as nails twitchy/jump to avoid the water and collect the yarn to speed up to the mouse/style runner. Out of the gate the speeds are ridiculously hard, so those of you who love high difficulty, try this on for size! I like a challenge, but I'd love to see the difficulty ramped up a lot slower or at least an easy or normal mode. It goes from 0-100 immediately and even for gamers who like this genre, it can be off putting, since making any real progress is super difficult. I like minimalist games, but the implementation of a scoring system would be great. Maybe based on how many waters you jump or something that would make you want to come back and beat your previous score? Game Center is always a plus too! As it stands, I think you have 60 seconds to catch the mouse and then it's game over? There is no tutorial and I can only get a few seconds into a game, having played about 20-30 games, so I'm not sure about all the components. This reminds me of Grilly, another auto running jumper that I adore. I don't think Feline needs to be fleshed out like Grilly, but I could see Feline implementing a few choice features (other objects to jump over and/or collect) to increase the fun and playability.
Please disregard the above. I wasn't aware of the iPad Retina issues with the app. Looking forward to the update!

the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller
size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

text: hey guys i have a very short question and hope you guys will help me out. Couple of days ago i upgraded my Firefox 6 to v11 (i know latest is v14 but as it is new there might be some problems and bugs, hence upgraded to v11).

A vast diversity is found in the working community of America. We have mothers who choose to stay at home to raise children and manage households. They don't receive a salary and their work is done at home, but the benefits to society are priceless. There are diverse and extensive volunteer opportunities where, again, there is no salary, but the benefit to the community is inestimable. There are union workers and nonunion workers, white collar workers and blue collar workers, entrepreneurs who own businesses and those who work for the business. Each of these is a spoke in the wheel that runs the economy and moves our country forward.
All workers deserve respect and equal rights, but not special rights. As we approach another Labor Day, let's appreciate all who labor and recognize their contribution to America and the free enterprise system that allows each of us to be the best we can be.
