"Rock out with your Glock out"
Film Synopsis:
Action star Bruce Willis and ace comic Tracy Morgan pair as bickering-but-got-your-back Brooklyn buddy cops. Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy) directs the gritty, goofball goings-on as the guys hunt for a stolen 1952 mint-condition baseball card (Jimmy needs it to fund his daughter's wedding), a hunt plunging them into a war with a deadly drug ring. Batter up fans as the boys are ready to take you out to the ol' brawl game!
My Take:
Detective's Jimmy (Willis) Monroe and Paul (Morgan) Hodges have been partners for 9 years and have had their share of ups and downs both professionally and at home. After a case they are working goes haywire and results in the death of an informant, Jimmy and Paul are suspended without pay for 30 days. Jimmy is divorced and needs to come up with $48k to pay for his daughter's wedding or else let his ex-wife's new (and rich) husband pay for it. He opts to sell his prized 1952 Andy Pafko baseball card (valued at somewhere near $80k) which was a present from his dad when he was a boy. Paul is happily married but feeling a little insecure due to his late hours and a handsome neighbor whom his wife has become friendly with. As Jimmy is selling the Pafco the card shop is robbed by Dave (Scott), a rather annoying criminal with unusual habits and lots of energy. He makes off with the stash which includes the Pafco. The two suspended detectives eventually learn that Jimmy's card was traded for drugs and is on the possession of Poh boy, a local drug dealer (and memorabilia collector) with an agenda. As they begin to track Poh boy Paul and Jimmy discover the target of his plan and take steps to try and stop him and recover the stolen Pafco in time to pay for the wedding. Unfortunately the lines get blurred by Paul's distraction regarding his suspicions about his wife's fidelity plus additional questions that have surfaced after his gun is linked to the shooting death of a pair of gang members. In order to recover the card, solve the murders, and capture Poh boy Jimmy and Paul will have to put it all out there while relying on their friendship and years of experience plus the unwitting help of a pair of rival detectives and of course the very annoying Dave.
I generally don't mind comedies that fall into the realm of stupid funny, as long as they are FUNNY. The buddy cop/action/comedy genre is filled with films that achieve varying levels of success and pretty much all of them surpass this one. Cop out is built upon a silly premise which in and of itself could be forgiven but it is the nonsensical drivel, incessant over the top situations and lame action that lower it to an innocuous level that I found barely tolerable. I am a Bruce Willis fan and couldn't help but feel disdain for his presence in such a stinker. Especially when I think of the plethora of better characters he has played over the years. As for Tracy Morgan I have never been a fan and this didn't do anything to elevate his status in that regard. There are a series of cameos by the likes of Jason Lee, Fred (SNL) Armisen, Rashida Jones, and Kevin Pollack. None added anything worthy of note and felt thrown in. Sean William Scott's portrayal of Dave is right up his alley however the dialogue is so asinine and repetitive that it becomes annoying. While there were a few chuckles I just didn't find this to be original, involving or funny which is too bad because it had potential.

Cop out comes to Blu-ray Disc from Warner featuring 1080p VC-1 encoded video that has an average bitrate of 19 Mbps and lossless DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio sound that has an average bitrate of 2.1 Mbps.
This video presentation delivered satisfactory overall quality that included appreciable refinement and varying degrees of delineation that were scene and lighting dependent. Sharpness wavered on occasion but fidelity didn't egregiously suffer as a result. Colors looked natural with ample saturation and vivid textures and fleshtones were tonally warm but lifelike. Black levels were respectable and depth of field/delineation during low light sequences was rarely a problem. The video had a light but visible layer of grain which provided texture without overstatement. Closer inspection might reveal minor artifacts but I never found them problematic. I found this to be a pleasing presentation that should look fine to all but the most discerning viewers.
The DTS-HD MA sound quality is about what you might expect from a dialogue driven comedy however there are some action based elements that would have benefited from a more involving surround mix as the bulk of the presentation is delivered via the front three channels. Imaging and channel separation is good but the soundstage sometimes feels compressed. Voices are rendered clearly through the center channel as dialogue maintains a prominent position within the soundfield. The film's music is nicely detailed, with airy presence and a punchy low end. There is little surround activity although the rear channels and subwoofer get a boost during several sequences including the extended shootout in chapter 22. Low frequency effects palpably underscore gunfire and discretely placed sounds provide a bit of envelopment but not to an engaging level.
Bonus Features:
This is the first title from Warner that I have seen which has a resume feature that allows viewers to pick up where the film left off even after removal of the disc (YES!).
- (HD) Maximum Comedy Mode - An interactive perspective on the production that includes stunts, onset hi-jinks/improv, and over an hour of extended scenes and outtakes. It is broken down into focus points that can be viewed separately as indicated below.
- (HD)Focus points (totaling 21 minutes):
- "Cop out" aka a couple of…
- The new buddy cop duo
- Kevin Pollack – a man of a thousand voices and interests
- Improvising – now that's funny
- Poh boy's diamond vault
- Stunts Brooklyn style
- Tracy Morgan speaks Spanglish
- Dave's calling card
- Kevin Smith directs
- (HD) Wisdom from the Shitbandit – 10 segments totaling 4 minutes
- WB BD-Live enabled
- Digital Copy Bonus Disc of Cop out
Final Thoughts:
Director Kevin Smith's Cop out misses the mark and comes across as a vapid revisit to a genre filled with much better efforts. I didn't have high expectations going in but still found the innocuous script's nonsensical drivel, incessant over the top situations and lame action barely tolerable. It comes to Blu-ray disc from Warner Home Video yielding fair high definition audio/video and a fan friendly bonus feature set that includes plenty of on set outtakes, antics, interactive maximum comedy mode and a digital copy for those who want to take the film on the go. If you're curious give it a rent otherwise wait and catch it on cable TV.

Thanks for the review as always... I may que it later...boy have we been getting stinkers lately.

This one I will pass on even as a free rental.
Thanks Ralph for the review.
Good news is that next week's outings look better!
Between this and The Bounty Hunter the Bounty won just because of Jen's assets. lol!! But both movies were a total disappointment.
Cleveland, OH
I looked it up online after I had returned it, and thanked my lucky stars. It was universally disliked, which is really sad because I like Bruce Willis and I love Tracy Morgan on '30 Rock'.
All that being said, if anyone wants to catch a vaguely "A-Team"-ish flick based on a DC comic I never heard of, "The Losers" was pretty decent.
I enjoyed "The Losers" as well (much to my surprise). It's a check your brain at the door type of flick, but the action is good, it's funny, and Zoe is SMOKIN' HOT!
The audio is pretty impressive too on occasion and I wrote-up and Ultimate Demo that should go live sometime this week.

My wife and I enjoyed it. Sorry most of you like to stereotype Willis as a die hard but we think this one is worth a couple hours rental time. Lots of laughs.
The rental version is strictly the movie and no extra features, well, the extras do include movie previews but nothing else.

I don't stereotype him at all. Different strokes for different folks Don. Glad you enjoyed it.
There are a lot of movies I like him in, it's just that this one doesn't look good. That's as far as it goes with me.
Exactly what was so hilarious and entertaining about it.

Another plus vote for the "Losers".
Watched this the other night and really enjoyed it.
It works as a non serious kick ass action flick with impressive audio.
Nice shots of Zoe's assets were a big plus!!
I should receive my copy of the losers tomorrow.
Franin, you may want to call your dentist to see if he can squeeze you in for a root canal. You may find there's more entertainment value sitting in the dentist's chair versus either of those movies.

While there were a few chuckles I just didn't find this to be original, involving or funny which is too bad because it had potential.
Thanks to the critical comments here I went into this movie with low expectations and found that I enjoyed it more than I would. I would score it 5/10. Kevin Smith has always been uneven with his movies and this one is no exception. I think that Smith (and the writers) intended this to be a "homage" to buddy cop movies of the 80's complete with an electronic keyboard score by Harold Faltermeyer (who was a pioneer in this type of action scoring in the 80's). Seann William Scott helped to add to the silliness of the movie which was out of kilter with the graphic violence reserved for more hard-core crime movies. I was surprised to learn that this film turned a small profit at theaters and on DVD mainly because of Bruce Willis I would imagine.
In closing I will leave you with Kevin Smith's Twitter:
"Writing a nasty review for Cop Out is akin to bullying a retarded kid. All you've done is make fun of something that wasn't doing you any harm and wanted only to give some cats some fun laughs."

"Writing a nasty review for Cop Out is akin to bullying a retarded kid. All you've done is make fun of something that wasn't doing you any harm and wanted only to give some cats some fun laughs."
Nice try Kevin but I'm not buying it.
Hmmm, I should use that cop-out for the next time my work output is substandard.

Daubechies wavelet filter computation
W = dbaux(N,SUMW)
W = dbaux(N)
W = dbaux(N,0)
W = dbaux(N,SUMW) is the order
N Daubechies
scaling filter such that
sum(W) = SUMW. Possible
values for
N are 1, 2, 3, ...
Instability may occur when
W = dbaux(N) is equivalent to
= dbaux(N,1)
W = dbaux(N,0) is equivalent to
= dbaux(N,1)
This example shows to determine the Daubechies' extremal phase scaling filter with a specified sum. The two most common values for the sum are and 1.
Construct two versions of the
'db4' scaling filter. One scaling filter sums to
and the other version sums to 1.
NumVanishingMoments = 4; h = dbaux(NumVanishingMoments,sqrt(2)); m0 = dbaux(NumVanishingMoments,1);
The filter with sum equal to
is the synthesis (reconstruction) filter returned by
wfilters and used in the discrete wavelet transform.
[LoD,HiD,LoR,HiR] = wfilters('db4');
ans = 4.2613e-13
For orthogonal wavelets, the analysis (decomposition) filter is the time-reverse of the synthesis filter.
ans = 4.2613e-13
The computation of the
dbN Daubechies scaling
filter requires the extraction of the roots of a polynomial of order
Instability may occur when
N is too large.
The algorithm used is based on a result obtained by Shensa (see "References"), showing a correspondence between the "Lagrange à trous" filters and the convolutional squares of the Daubechies wavelet filters.
The computation of the order N Daubechies scaling filter w proceeds in two steps: compute a "Lagrange à trous" filter P, and extract a square root. More precisely:
P the associated "Lagrange à trous" filter is a symmetric filter of length 4N-1. P is defined by
P = [a(N) 0 a(N-1) 0 ... 0 a(1) 1 a(1) 0 a(2) 0 ... 0 a(N)]
Then, if w denotes dbN Daubechies scaling filter of sum , w is a square root of P:
where w is a filter of length 2N.
The corresponding polynomial has N zeros located at −1 and N−1 zeros less than 1 in modulus.
Note that other methods can be used; see various solutions of the spectral factorization problem in Strang-Nguyen (p. 157).

Watering Shrubs
I have over a hundred shrubs I water once a week so I am looking for a timer that I can set for 15, 20, 30, or whatever seconds so I can water each shrub equal. If I have a larger shrub or one that look a little dry then I'll go through two beeping sessions. Does anyone know where I can get a watch that will do that?
It isn't really possible to comment on watering shrubs without a lot more information. People will need to know more before responding. Firstly, where are you? Secondly, what shrubs do you have? Thirdly, is it really necessary to water the shrubs at all?
It is highly doubtful all your shrubs have equal water requirements so a one size fits all regime is unlikely to be optimal for their health.
If you really need to water them every week maybe the choice of species is not really suited to your climate. Since I've never watered a shrub I can't comment on how long you'd need the timer to be set for but it would certainly be many minutes, even 1/4 or 1/2 an hour deeply and infrequently rather than a question of seconds.
This might be a convenience for you but it's not gonna provide any favors to your shrubs! First, watering by hand is excessively time consuming and a less than efficient method of delivering water. And 15, 20 or 30 seconds is insufficient water for just about anything, let alone something as large as most shrubs.
Can you not set up a drip system or at least a soaker hose? These can be attached to timers that will deliver the water automatically. Barring that, a hose (without a nozzle) set on a low trickle and placed at the root zone will at least deliver sufficient water and appropriately slowly to the entire root zone. You can set a timer for 15, 20 or 30 minutes to accomplish that.
The intent is to deliver enough water to penetrate down to the full depth of the root system, typically somewhere around 12" or so. This just cannot be done very well by your method. If you water this deeply, you will find that your shrubs produce a deeper, more robust root system and therefore will become more drought tolerant and require less frequent watering.
Sounds like maybe Lostsoul is doing some kind of experiment instead of just watering shrubs.
Walmart has a great selection of watches, with timers on them, if that's really what your looking for. A kitchen timer might also work well for this.
I think the title you chose for this thread may be why people are assuming you mean "normal" watering. As Gardengal said, this type of watering wouldn't work for normal irrigation of shrubs, but people don't know that you know that (assuming you do). They are trying to respond to your concerns in a general manner.
I've been watering this way for many decades and I have the most Beautiful yard in the neighborhood. In another state I watered this way and my trees and shrubs were the fastest growing and Prettiest out of 700 homes. I've search the web and can't find a watch that will beep every few seconds and that is why I posted here. A rule of life is if it works then apply it.
This post was edited by lostsoul62 on Sun, Jul 27, 14 at 23:06
Read my original post. I have 55 shrubs that are the same. So I would like to give each shrub the same amount of water and make it easy on myself so I don't have to judge every time I give them water. I don't water them Every week if it rains and how warm or cold it is. Again I'm just looking for a watch, Stop Watch, clock, timer?
Easiest way is to count.
One Mississippi
Two Mississippi
Three Mississippi, etc.
A lap timer is going to restart immediately, so an error will be introduced moving from one shrub to the next.
kitchen timer - set it for 30 seconds - it beeps - hit the start/stop button twice - it will beep after 30 seconds - repeat

I had to make an account just for this. I live in Florida and even though it's fall, it's still warm and humid. I don't use foundation or eye primer or eyeshadow (because it's Florida and things tend to melt on my face or break me out), or anything that can possibly lend to an eyeliner lasting longer than without those above products. I went to go have lunch with a couple of colleagues and we sat outside on the patio, there were no fans, no A/C, and the sun was beating down on me because the umbrella didn't cover me. I have oily skin and was kinda sweaty, and I was worried about my eyeliner as it was new to me and I'd never tried it before, but nobody said anything. And when I finally got to a mirror, I was surprised (and so relieved) that it hadn't even smudged or even migrated to my lower lash line and the pigmentation was still great and dark. It wasn't until I removed it that night that it came off. And it isn't waterproof. It might not work with your skin type or what-have-you, but it definitely worked for me. 10/10 would buy again.

I'm not too experienced with liquid eyeliners but I found this brush to be easy to work with. Very easy to create a fine line close to my lashes & it stays on all day. Can't beat the price (about $3) & the quality was better than I expected.

This is a pretty good liquid eyeliner, the brush is easy to make small precise lines with, and it doesn't flake on me. I accidentally got the pearl black colour, so it's a little too sparkly for me. However, this is the cheapest liquid eyeliner ever, so it's really good for how cheap it is! You should definitely go buy it!

This is now my go-to eyeliner! I like to do a winged out look and I use this with a gel or pencil liner to set it, and it lasts all day without smudging. I've purchased two so I can have one on me at all times! The finish is rather more shiny then most eyeliners, but I don't mind, and that can be fixed with a bit of pencil. The brush is also thicker then most I use, but I find this actually gives me more control and creates a thicker, straighter line then my thinner eyeliners. Highly recommended, and a great price too!

This was pretty good for a drugstore eyeliner and I'm usually a fan of L'oreal eyeliners or Milani liqui-eye. It was cheap too. It has good pigmentation and it lasted on my oily lids without smudging or fading. The only thing I can complain about is the brush. It is not the best for getting an accurate line and I had to work slowly using it or it didn't create a precise line for me. Other than that, this is nice to keep around in my makeup bag and I don't have to feel bad if I lose it.

This was my second attempt at buying a liquid eyeliner because the first one I used was unforgiving (if you messed up, you couldn't wipe it off cleanly without leaving behind a smudge) and was tad expensive since eyeliner is a staple to my look. This eyeliner was cheap and it works great! Easy to apply soft bristles and applies darkly and dries fasts. It also doesn't get all over my eyelashes. Love it!

I was disappointed the second I opened the applicator. The brush looks NOTHING like it does on the packaging. It shows a "precision brush applicator" but in reality it looks like a mini nail polish applicator. How am I supposed to apply it without getting it everywhere? It was only about $2 but I'm trying to get a refund. Very unhappy with this product. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

I don't know if I got a bad product or what, but hell, this eyeliner can't even stay on my eyelid for more than 30 minutes. What's the MOST annoying thing is that it flakes off and GETS INTO MY EYES making them red and irritated. I wouldn't buy this eyeliner again. I'll rather spend my $2.49 on 2 elf liquid eyeliners

After repurchasing this product when it ran out I thought it may be helpful to write a review. I'm not normally a slave to certain brands but I love this eyeliner. It's dirt cheap and does a great job getting close to my lash line for a dark intense look. I usually use this over another eyeliner, sometimes by itself. The brush is a little tricky but I still like it way better than any other eyeliner I've used, and I refuse to pay more than a few dollars for liquid liner.

- As the Red Bull Stratos team prepares for the jump from space, Red Bull Illume takes a look at the cutting-edge camera systems that will be used to record this record-breaking mission. With Felix Baumgartner jumping from an altitude of 120,000 feet, the cameras must be every bit as advanced as the other aspects of the mission in order to survive the hostile environment. It's all a far cry from when Joe Kittinger used hot water bottles taped to film cameras on his record-breaking jump in 1960.

Princess Of The Month
I am still in need of the answers of some of the questions from people.
Please send them to me as soon as possible so that I can get them out as soon as possible.
Hello Jennifer,
If you sent me the questionnaire, I did not receive it again. I do have Nancy's stuff so I can start shopping but I have not filled it out myself. I just realized I can probably look at what you sent for Nancy and just put my info in and send it back to you. Nevermind. diene
Hello Fellow Princesses,
I know it is early but I mailed out Princess Nancy's box today. I hope that was ok, my life has been hectic and I had it ready and I wanted to get it off before something happened to delay it.
I am also hosting a swap in May wrapping up my Squash Swap soon and also in the Easter Swap and the Garden and Gourmet Swap, so I wanted to pace myself.
I give you all permission to remind me I am not allowed to sign up for anymore swaps till June! You can discipline me in anyway you feel necessary. :)
Thank you,
Hi all. I had the flu all week and just finally got back in action. I am going to email everyone the answers to the questions again.
But guess what... I am the slacker... I made the questions up and still have not filled in my answers.. If you are missing anyone's questions please let me know.
And Susan, you really are showing all of us up!!! I had you in the garden decorating swap and your box just went out today.
Hi All,
Sorry to be showing anyone up, I just had to get it off to lighten up my plate a bit. I am hoping to get my Easter Swap out next week. Then I will have some time to get into the garden. We were going to plant some more this weekend but it poured here all day today and it takes days for our garden to dry out. So, looks like I will be house cleaning this weekend.
I have received everyones info I believe Jenn.Thank You.
Woo Hoo I received my 1st princess package from Susandonb/Susan.I really do feel like a princess : ) Thanks so much Susan,I loved everything.Susan sent me a yummy jar of homemade apple jam. a sassy pair of gardening gloves(I love the designs on these),a really neat grow kit,an absolutely stunning Butterfly Windchime that I already have hanging outside my door.Its soo pretty and makes such wonderful sounds.Seeds of evening sun sunflower,red sails lettuce,sunking tomato,passion sweetcorn, and labrador green beans. I am anxious to get these started.. and last but not least a ton of candy kisses.Had to fight my hubby for these.I really loved the coconut ones.I had never had them before.Thanks again so much Susan for the wonderful box.I adore everything.This being princess is going to be fun : ))

Chris Leroux Rumors
Minor Moves: Brown, Leroux
Here are the day's minor moves:
- The Red Sox announced that Corey Brown has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A Pawtucket. Brown, 28, saw action in three games and made just one plate appearance in this year's stint with the Red Sox. Brown has spent the bulk of the year in Triple-A Pawtucket, where he posted a slash line of .226/.294/.452.
- Righty Chris Leroux has accepted an outright assignment with the Yankees rather than electing free agency, tweets Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com. Leroux, 30, was recently designated and outrighted for the third time this season.

Minor Moves: Johnson, Leroux, Murphy, Axelrod
We'll keep track of today's minor moves here.
- The Tigers will select the contract of reliever Jim Johnson on Sunday, MLB.com's Jason Beck tweets. To make room on the 40-man roster, they'll option fellow reliever Melvin Mercedes to Triple-A Toledo. Johnson, of course, struggled with Oakland after two strong years as the Orioles' closer and ultimately got released before signing a minor league deal with Detroit. He has since pitched 4 2/3 innings for Toledo, allowing three runs, two earned.
- The Yankees have outrighted pitcher Chris Leroux, MLB Daily Dish's Chris Cotillo tweets. Earlier this week, the team designated Leroux for the third time this year, and he's only made two appearances this season in pinstripes, the last coming in early May. He has a 4.37 ERA with 6.9 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 in 45 1/3 innings so far this season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
- The Braves have signed infielder Donnie Murphy to a minor league contract, according to MLB.com's transactions page. As MLB Daily Dish's Chris Cotillo tweets, that likely means Murphy opted out of the minor league deal he signed with the Reds last month. Murphy, 31, hit .196/.268/.330 in 128 plate appearances with the Rangers earlier this year, mostly playing second base.
- The Reds announce that they have selected the contract of righty Dylan Axelrod. They've also moved Homer Bailey (neck) to the 15-day DL and Joey Votto (quadriceps) to the 60-day DL. Axelrod will start tonight's game against the Rockies. The Reds acquired Axelrod from the White Sox in a minor trade in July, and since then he's posted a 3.06 ERA with 6.1 K/9 and 1.3 BB/9 in 35 1/3 innings at Triple-A Louisville.
- The Diamondbacks have released outfielder Blake Tekotte, according to MiLB.com. Arizona acquired Tekotte from the White Sox in a minor deal less than two weeks ago. This season, the 27-year-old has hit .249/.320/.439 in 340 plate appearances. From 2011 through 2013, he made brief big-league appearances with the Padres and then the White Sox.
- The Phillies have released lefty Jo-Jo Reyes, according to the International League transactions page. The 29-year-old pitched for the Braves, Blue Jays and Orioles from 2007 through 2011. He spent 2012 in the Pirates' farm system, then headed to Korea in 2013. He made 13 starts in Korea in 2014 and struggled there, then headed to Lehigh Valley, where he pitched 20 2/3 innings, striking out nine batters and walking eight en route to a 10.45 ERA.

Yankees Designate Chris Leroux For Assignment
The Yankees have designated righty Chris Leroux for assignment, the club announced via press release. His roster spot will go to Michael Pineda, who was activated from the 60-day DL for today's start.
This is the third time in DFA limbo on the year for Leroux, who most recently was designated and then outrighted just over two weeks ago. Despite all that activity, he has made only two appearances with New York on the year. The 30-year-old has been knocked around in the two innings he has tossed, surrendering seven hits and five earned runs while striking out three and walking two. A veteran of parts of six MLB seasons, Leroux has fared better in the minors thus far in 2014 (4.01 ERA in 49 1/3 innings).
