will Kitty like Fritz as a roommate??
A great episode to start the season off with.One of my favorites for sure.It is great,great,great!
What a great episode to start another season
'The Closer' is back and better then ever. This episode did a good job of mixing Brenda's humorous personnel struggles with the heaviness of her case. And Brenda once again came out on top.
They don\'t beat around the bush now do they? From the get go of the episode they were back in the thick of getting as many people upset as they could ...

Quotes (18)
Provenza: Gimme $100. Flynn: I already gave you $100. Provenza: You're way up. Flynn: So what? You know where the ATM is. Besides, I say we cash in. Provenza: Fine, fine, fine, we'll cash in. (grabs Ari) C'mon, Ari. You're cashing in, too. Ari: Hey, don't touch me. (looking at Provenza's shirt) Who the hell are you, anyway? Flynn: LAPD. We're here to give you a lift home. Ari: Put that away, you stupid... look, I'm not leaving. And you can't do anything to me here anyway. Provenza: Oh really? Hey! Hey everybody! Listen up! I wanna tell you about my friend Ari here. Ari: Hey! Shut up, you idiot, you're gonna get me killed! Flynn: Hey moron, now imagine us doing that, only on television, and all your cousin's friends find out that you're a snitch. Provenza: (shoving all of Ari's chips to the center) And don't forget to tip the dealer. Flynn: Let's go.
Hubbard: (agitated) I'm his father! Charlie's my son! I taught him how to walk! And I taught him how to read! And I taught him... I've been with him through seven surgeries and 38 procedures! And where was the great Tim Martin when it mattered, huh? Huh? Where was he? When Charlie's life was on the line? Where was he? Where was Tim Martin? Brenda: I don't know, Det. Hubbard. But I know where he is now. I saw his brains splattered all over the floor of an abandoned warehouse while his body was being eaten by flies, and I can't help but think you may have overreacted. Hubbard: You can't. You can't tell Charlie about him, this, you won't do that. Brenda: I can and I will. Taylor: Hey, hey, hey. Write it all down and we'll get you a deal from the D.A. Brenda: You can wear a bracelet and stay with Charlie until his illness...resolves itself.
Brenda: Good morning, Det. Xavier, and the elusive Mr. Cohen. Here you are! So kind of you to join us. Ari: I was dragged here against my will, and all I'm going to do is plead the Fifth. Brenda: You can't plead the Fifth. Ari: I can't? Brenda: It would be a violation of the agreement you made with the D.A. to be a cooperating witness. So if you plead the Fifth, I'll arrest you as an accomplice in a double-homicide. So please, Mr. Cohen, do take a seat.
Capt. Leahy: Ma'am, I want to note you've used your investigation to smear Tim Martin's reputation and in this department that's just not the way we play ball. Brenda: Well, Captain, if you don't like the way I'm doing things, you're free to take your balls and go straight home.
Brenda: Did you make the match? Tao: Any minute. Brenda: You don't have it? Tao: It's coming. Brenda: Lt. Tao, I need to start this interview, and if you don't finish I could be up a nasty-smelling creek without a paddle! Tao: Just go slow. As soon as the match comes through I'll bring it directly to Gabriel. (Hands her two small chocolate-covered eclairs) Here. For all our sakes. Please. Brenda: (accepts them) Thank you.
Notes (4)
Original International Air Dates: Czech Republic: April 10, 2007 on Prima
The episode allowed us to examine several piece of LAPD insignia. Badges of rank parallel traditional military insignia. Assistant Chief Pope wears three stars, one fewer than LAPD Chief William Bratton. As a Deputy Chief, Brenda would wear two, and Taylor as Commander, one star. Captains and Lieutenants wear two and one bar respectively, as do their military equivalents.
The LAPD badge is oval in shape, considered innovative at the time it was adopted in 1940. It features a representation of LA City Hall and the city seal, as well as the officer's rank and badge number. The black bands worn across the uniformed officers' badges are a traditional sign of mourning on the part of many police departments.
In the opening scene, a number of personnel were seen wearing navy blue jackets with an arm patch identifying them as Los Angeles Police, carrying a cross in the center. A green cross frequently appears on LAPD insignia, and represents safety.
The evening Fritz and Brenda discuss moving in together, Fritz brings them salads for dinner, but tells Brenda he'd have picked up a pie at DuPar's if she hadn't sworn off sugar.
DuPar's is a group of family restaurants in the LA area, known for their hearty, basic American cooking, their Sunday brunch and especially their pies. The original DuPar's is at 3rd and Fairfax, in the Los Angeles Farmer's Market.
Apparently, Sgt. Gabriel and Det. Daniels were romantic in the past. The murdered police officer's romantic m.o. was to make his move on women who are already in a relationship, which contributed to Gabriel and Daniels' breakup.
Trivia (2)
James Duff and Mike Berchem were nominated for the 2007 Edgar Award for "Best Television Episode Teleplay" for writing this episode.
This episode is the first co-authored by Mike Berchem, who also serves as technical advisor for The Closer. Known as "Detective Mike," Mike Berchem is an LAPD Robbery-Homicide detective with nearly 30 years experience. As technical advisor, his role is to help maintain the show's authenticity. In addition, Berchem is always present at "crime scene" locations to assure their technical accuracy.
Allusions (1)
Flynn: Guys! We're all wearing the same color!
Flynn is seen in a blue shirt, navy vest and navy trousers as he attempts to restrain the uniform and off-duty officers from Central Division at the scene of Martin's shooting. This is visual representation of the notion of the thin blue line that represents the connection among police officers, as well as line between order and anarchy that they defend.
In his blog on TVGuide.com, James Duff notes the theme for the second season of The Closer is partnership, first explored in this episode's show of unity and honor for a fallen comrade by the LAPD personnel present at the crime scene.

Garrett House, also known as the Garrett Residence, in Syracuse, New York, was built in 1913. Along with other Ward Wellington Ward-designed homes, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]
It is listed for its architecture. The most distinctive feature on the outside of the house was that its roof was made to look like an English Cottage thatched roof. As can be seen in the photos taken in January, 2009, the roof has been covered with modern asphalt shingles and the house sported a "For Sale by Owner" sign. The Mercer fireplace in the first floor living room, customary in Ward Wellington Ward houses, is an exceptionally impressive one depicting St. George and the Dragon.[2]
In January 2011, the Garrett House was purchased by a private buyer and is currently in the beginning stages of being restored

In 1955, when he was twenty years old, Eddie Floyd co-founded the Detroit-based soul group The Falcons, who would score a major R&B hit four years later with "You're So Fine." Joe Stubbs was the lead singer of the group at that time but Floyd would eventually become the lead singer until a guy named Wilson Pickett—who would later record the seminal hits "In the Midnight Hour," "Land of 1,000 Dances," and "Mustang Sally"—became the lead singer. The Falcons broke up in '63, a year removed from Pickett deciding to go solo, and Floyd would eventually go down to Memphis and join the roster at the burgeoning Stax Records label. Floyd was signed as a writer and producer with Stax working primarily with Carla Thomas but in 1966 he began working with Steve Cropper, the lead guitarist of Stax's house band Booker T. & the M.G.'s and all-around music genius.[1]
Floyd and Cropper's collaborations resulted in a hit—"634-5789 (Soulsville, USA)"—for former Falcon Wilson Pickett who was now on the Stax roster as well. The two also penned a song called "Knock on Wood" that was originally intended for Otis Redding, but Redding and Stax weren't thrilled with the song because it sounded like a Pickett knock-off. Atlantic Records, who had first dibs on anything recorded at Stax at this time, however, thought the song would be a hit and they grabbed it. "Knock on Wood" became a hit and the defining song of Eddie Floyd's catalog.
Floyd would go on to record a handful of Top 40 R&B hits—"I've Never Found a Girl (To Love Me Like You Do)" chief among them—and stay with Stax as a writer until its bankruptcy[2] but nothing really ever compared to "Knock on Wood," a single that both buttressed Stax Records' signature sound (horns, heavy drums, Cropper's textural work with a guitar) as well as connecting to a casual music audience, albeit briefly, in ways that Pickett and Redding were not able to.
That last part is beyond pertinent as Floyd sat nicely in between his former band mate (Pickett) and the burgeoning giant whose crossover success resonated with white audiences in new ways (Redding, whose performance at Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 was his national coming-out party). Pickett could make you move and dance and was cut from the same entertainer's cloth as James Brown and Little Richard and Jackie Wilson; high energy guys whose energy seemed to quintuple when performing live. Redding was one of those rare souls that could captivate you regardless of style or genre. If he sang fast, one moved; if he sang a soulful ballad, one melted. In between the two sat Floyd, who had the authoritative voice and the ability to make one dance but who performed at a slower pace—too quick for a soul ballad but slightly slower than much of the R&B of the day.
"Knock on Wood" is emblematic of the Stax sound and emblematic of the depth of talent that flowed through that Memphis studio so many decades ago. It is not merely a one-hit wonder. It is part of the mosaic that makes Stax Records an indelible part of modern American music and it plays a role in explaining why Memphis in the '60s rivaled Detroit as far as creative output. That Eddie Floyd is indistinguishable from a ghost for some people is frustrating, but names, like years and dates, sometimes float into the aether. They become collectively erased until a different point of reference jogs our memory. Ask someone to explain 1870 in America and most will struggle, but if you say that Grant was President during that year it becomes a little easier to guess what was going on because it's not too far removed from Lincoln and the Civil War and the beginning of Reconstruction. Mention Eddie Floyd to someone and you might be met with a shrug but play "Knock on Wood" and they will most likely know this song.
Eddie Floyd deserves a better more universal history; his name doesn't deserve to be stuck in the aether. In the meantime, this song is a seminal recording in the Stax library which is something that artists from the same era with more recognizable names cannot lay claim to.
[1] Cropper will never be revered like Page or Hendrix or Vaughan or Clapton amongst casual rock fans, but make no mistake: Steve Cropper is a goddamned national treasure. Just listen to "Time Is Tight." He won't wow you like the other Rock Gods; instead, he'll just wow you with his technical mastery. Sometimes, greatness lies in how easy you make something look/sound/feel. Steve Cropper is the Renoir of guitarists, able to make the ordinary extraordinary upon closer inspection.
[2] The short story is that Stax never fully recovered from Otis Redding's death.

How Do You Flip A 1-Ton Hamburger Patty?
By editor
Originally published on Tue September 4, 2012 11:38 am
Good morning. I'm David Greene. This past weekend as many of us were firing up our grills to mark the end of summer, a Minnesota casino was outdoing all of us - grilling up the largest burger the world has ever seen. Weighing in at just over a ton, the 10-foot-wide burger was topped with 60 pounds of bacon, 50 pounds of onions and a lot of cheese. According to a Guinness World Records official, the burger, quote, "actually tasted really good." How do you flip a one-ton patty, you might ask? They used a crane. It's MORNING EDITION.

November 1, 2011 12:10 by Reuters
TAQA, which invests in the energy sector globally, set up the Malaysian ringgit programme in early October .
"We have a lot of debt in the next two years to refinance and it (the sukuk) gives us another string to our bow," Stephen Kersley told Reuters in an interview.
TAQA's debt includes $3.5 billion in maturing bonds and $500 million in bank credit.
While TAQA may not go to the Malaysian market until the first half of 2012, despite what Kersley said was a "very strong appetite" there, it may launch a conventional bond next year.
"It is possible, it is an option. It will be a mix, but not at the same time," he said, without stating the potential size of the bonds.
TAQA may also look at project financing from banks despite a tightening of credit by lenders.
"There is a market there for well structured projects," he said, declining to elaborate.
The 75 percent Abu Dhabi government-owned company had a debt ratio of 79 percent with a stated target of 70 percent. "We are moving in the right direction," he said.
Its second-quarter profit more than doubled, helped by high oil prices and increased production in Britain. TAQA plans to announce third-quarter results on Nov. 15.
TAQA wants to invest in power production in Europe, which would allow it to integrate its existing gas production and huge storage facility in the Netherlands, a company executive said earlier in the month. (By Stanley Carvalho)
