Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Feeding The Beast
The Charleswood Hawks are hopelessly addicted to winning
Deep in the heart of Charleswood -- tucked behind a junior high school and a curling club and taking up a small chunk of Eric Coy Arena -- lives this province's most dominant hockey dynasty.
Now, there is some evidence of the Charleswood Hawks' reign here, what with a number of championship banners on display at the north end of the rink.
But it's a collection that hardly details why or how this Manitoba Major Junior Hockey League squad has been so successful over the last couple of decades.
Just to bring you up to speed, the Hawks enter today's home game against the Stonewall Jets on a 13-game win streak and having started the regular season going 19 games without a regulation loss (17-0-2).
Consider this, too: the Hawks are pushing for their fifth consecutive championship and have won 13 titles in the past 19 years.
So what makes up the foundation of this dynasty?
Is it recruiting? Is it coaching? Scouting?
Turns out it's all of the above along with something less tangible, a combination of reputation and the monster that is all that success.
"It's not complicated," begins Hawks' forward Jesse Toth. "When guys come here they're here for one thing: to win. That's everyone's goal at the start of the year and anything other than that is not acceptable. You get used to winning. You expect to win.
"That's the beast we've built with the record we've had in the last five years. We don't ever want to lose a game because we're going to hear about. We have to feed the beast."
For the record, 'Feed the Beast' is not the Hawks' slogan, but it certainly fits. Their official motto, which jumps out on the club's website is:
So if you're looking for something else to explain the Hawks' reign other than the basics of hard work and preparation, move on, please.
They practice twice a week -- some MMJHL teams are only on the ice once, aside from games -- and scout their opponents and future stars and run their operation like a Canadian Hockey League outfit.
In short, this is a dynasty built entirely on sweat.
"People ask me all the time the same questions: 'Why is this happening?' And, 'Why do you guys continue to win?'" said Hawks' head coach Stephen George. "The players are part of it, but the organization has to take a lot of credit for that as well, in the sense that we've worked at being professional in our day-to-day operations and trying to run it like a Western Hockey League-type program.
"That really helps in terms of recruitment and attracting the higher-end players."
Before the cynics and critics dub the Hawks the New York Yankees of the MMJHL -- an operation that just grabs the best of the best in the free-agent market -- consider this: each organization in the 10-team loop has a catchment area from which it can recruit.
The Hawks' success makes them an attractive destination for players, no doubt, but they've also benefitted by drawing talent from some of the city's powerful high school programs in the area like Oak Park, St. Paul's, Kelvin and Westwood.
"The thing is, we still have to sell our program to those players once they have graduated from high school," said George. "And a lot of these players elect to come try out with the Charleswood Hawks versus going to play Junior A some place else."
Toth, who grew up in Gladstone, played for the Central Plains Capitals of the Manitoba Midget AAA league and then moved to Charleswood so he could continue his apprenticeship as an electrician, is one example.
And then there's Hawks captain Dillon Smith, who didn't have to be sold on the program at all. He grew up on Vanscoy Road in Charleswood and played two years of high school hockey at Oak Park.
"I grew up five minutes from here," said Smith, sitting just outside the Hawks' dressing room. "I came to games as a kid. I watched Stephen George, my head coach, when he was my age. So, I always thought this would be a fun place to play when I grew up.
"But now that I'm a part of it, I really believe we're successful because we're the hardest-working team in the league. We work hard at practice and it carries over to the games. That's contagious.
"Most of all, when you come here you know there's a standard you have to meet."
And here are the numbers behind that standard: Since the 2001-02 season the Hawks' won-lost-tied record is 404-52-28 for a winning percentage of .889.
That's not a misprint, folks.
What makes the Hawks so dominant? There's no magic formula other than victory loves preparation and success breeds success.
Feed the beast. Don't rebuild, reload.
"You know," adds Smith, "I remember the first time putting on that Hawks jersey... we have a saying here that a lot of teams use, 'You're not playing for the name on the back, it's the name on the front.'
"That's what we're all about."

Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
MILWAUKEE -- Poor starting pitching has been to blame for much of the Milwaukee Brewers' losing ways over the past few weeks. Marco Estrada worked to change that Friday night.
Estrada gave up one run over seven innings and retired the first 14 batters he faced in leading the Brewers to a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Milwaukee had lost 16-of-20 games entering the contest, while the Pirates had a four-game winning streak snapped and lost for just the third time in 14 games
"He had great location today. His fastball was live. He really located it well," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "He pitched up when he needed to. He had a good breaking ball and a good changeup and commanded all of his pitches."
Estrada (4-2) didn't allow a hit until a two-out bloop single to left field by Neil Walker in the fifth inning. He struck out eight and didn't walk a batter. He fanned eight of 12 Pittsburgh batters at one point.
"I've been struggling a lot with my curveball. I felt like today that I threw a lot of them for strikes. I just built off of that," Estrada said. "I had really good fastball command and I had a lot of swings (and) misses on the changeup."
Roenicke opted to remove Estrada after seven innings.
"I didn't realize my pitch count was at 100. I wanted to go back out," Estrada said. "You always want to give more. I wish I could have thrown a complete game and given the bullpen a couple more days rest, but I gave the team a chance to win."
Estrada improved his career record to 5-0 against the Pirates, including eight starts.
"He didn't leave many balls over the plate," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "He is tough on us. He is just able to step up and really get the ball in locations he wants to against us. Sure we had a couple balls to hit but it wasn't easy by any means."
Estrada said he's been attempting to mimic the fast-paced pitching of teammate Kyle Lohse.
"He just gets the ball and goes. He throws a lot of strikes," Estrada said. "Everyone is more alert. It showed today with the defense. I was so quick."
Four Brewers relievers combined to record the final six outs. Francisco Rodriguez retired the final batter to record his first save of the season and 295th of his career. Rodriguez's last save came last July 18.
Rodriguez entered the game after Brewers closer Jim Henderson sustained a right hamstring injury while attempting to field a hard grounder off the bat of Russell Martin.
"He felt his hamstring grab on him," Roenicke said. "We'll re-evaluate it tomorrow and see where we are. I don't think it's just going to be a day."
Roenicke said he's unsure if he'll name a closer if Henderson is out for an extended period.
"I don't know if we want to go with just one person. We may look at the matchups and see what they are every night," he said.
Rodriguez said he's prepared to close if called upon, but expressed concern for his injured bullpen mate.
"That's the last thing you want to see," Rodriguez said. "Jim's been doing such a good job and to see him go down like that is not good at all. Hopefully, we can have him as soon as possible."
Estrada outpitched Pirates starter A.J. Burnett (3-5), who gave up three hits and two earned runs over seven innings. Burnett struck out six and walked two. He retired 17 of the final 19 batters he faced. The Brewers managed just four hits for the game.
"Once I got some work in, I settled down and got to where I needed to be," Burnett said. "That is a heck of outing from both guys. You may beat me but you will never out-compete me."
The Brewers scored their only runs of the game in second inning. Aramis Ramirez led off the inning with a walk. After Martin Maldonado struck out, Carlos Gomez laced an opposite-field, line-drive double that just missed hitting Ramirez, who was leading off first base. Ramirez and Gomez scored on Alex Gonzalez's one-out double.
"That was big. It was a good pitch and Alex went down and got it. It was smart hitting," Roenicke said. "We certainly needed to get a lead and with the way Marco pitched we held on."
The Pirates didn't threaten until the sixth inning, when Starling Marte tripled down the left-field line with two outs. Estrada struck out Travis Snider to end the inning. Pittsburgh finally got to Estrada in the seventh when
Walker hit a two-out double, scoring Martin, who reached on a fielder's choice.
"(Estrada) made pitches when he had to. We didn't give ourselves enough opportunities to capitalize," Walker said. "When he has been really good, this is the game he throws."
Game notes
Estrada laced an opposite-field single in the fifth inning, one of only three hits against Burnett. "He threw me a fastball and I'm pretty sure he missed. I just made contact and it found a hole," Estrada said. .The Brewers placed starting pitcher Hiram Burgos on the 15-day disabled list. Relief pitcher Tom Gorzelanny was reinstated from the DL. . Burnett entered the game with a National League-leading 79 strikeouts. The only other Pirate pitcher since 1900 to have at least 79 strikeouts by the end of May is Bob Veale, who had 81 in 1966. Burnett added six strikeouts to his season total Friday night .The game marked the start of stretch in which Milwaukee will play 20 games over 20 days. .Estrada threw 100 pitches, 73 for strikes. Burnett threw 99 pitches, 65 for strikes. .The Brewers won for the first time in 20 tries this season when scoring three or fewer runs.

Josh Turner Releasing Album June 12th
After four number one smash hits with "All Over Me," "Your Man," "Would You Go With Me," and "Why Don't We Just Dance," and over 5 million albums sold since his critically-acclaimed debut "Long Black Train," Josh Turner is getting ready to release his fifth studio album "Punching Bag" on June 12th, 2012. The record features his current single "Time Is Love" as its lead-off single.
Josh co-wrote 11 of the tracks, most of which were penned in the cabin built on his property as a "writer's cabin." The inspiration for the cabin was Josh's native state of South Carolina.
"I spent two years building my writer's cottage. Once it was finished I was immediately in there writing songs. In total, I've written 27 songs in there and eight of those ended up on the record. My hero and friend, John Anderson, was sitting across the table from me one day when we were writing and said, 'What will really be a great day is when the songs you write here end up paying for this place!'"\
It was in that exact cabin that Josh wrote the title track to the album, "Punching Bag," with his friend Pat McLaughlin.
"The idea comes from one of those days that we all have, where everything just blows up in your face and nothing goes right. I had just had one of those days, and I came home and was standing in the closet with my wife and I unloaded on her about my day," Josh tells AOL's The Boot. "I told her, 'Sometimes I feel like a punching bag, like life is just beating me up.' When I said that, it struck me that it could be a huge song title. So I punched it into my phone and saved it. I held on to it until the right opportunity, [when I met with Pat McLaughlin]."

SHERLOCK Review – His Last Vow (SPOILERS)
By Kyle Anderson on February 3, 2014
And just like that, it's over again. Sherlock series always fly by, but this one especially seemed to cruise, I think in no small part because of how long we had to wait between series. There's really no getting around that fact, and it's caused me to feel initially like it was a slight or thin year for the show. However, stepping back a moment as writing these reviews makes necessary, I see all the chances and up-shaking the creators were doing, especially in changing the dynamic between Sherlock Holmes and John Watson with the addition of John's now-pregnant bride Mary. The storytelling, too, changed quite a bit in the first two episodes, being much more segmented and episodic than previous episodes. With the finale of Series 3, "His Last Vow," we get a lot closer to the single-thread mysteries of the past while still keeping the character arcs rich and interesting. It's a very good episode, with a sort of baffling ending.
But, first things first.
Once again, we've jumped ahead from the wedding. Lady Smallwood, a high-ranking British official (played by Lindsay Duncan), is on a board of investigation inquiring against Charles Augustus Magnussen (Lars Mikkelsen), a foreign news media tycoon who also, through a massive vault at his home, called Appledore, has sensitive information on just about every person of power in the U.K. He uses this knowledge to extort favors from people, and he threatens to expose Smallwood's husband's affair with an underage girl if she continues her investigation. So confident is he that she won't do anything, he licks her face. Lady Smallwood wants someone to get Magnussen, and hires Sherlock Holmes to do it.
However, in order for that to happen, Sherlock has to be thought of as a drug addict. I mean, he is anyway, but a USING drug addict. It's been awhile since Watson has seen Sherlock, and the newlyweds are living "blissfully" in the suburbs when they are approached by a weeping neighbor whose son has taken up with some smackheads. John decides to go get the kid back and Mary insists on coming along. After roughing up a druggie, John finds the neighbor's son and, surprisingly, Sherlock, who's been shooting up. He then takes all of them back to the car and they go to see Molly to run some tests on Sherlock's blood. She's pretty unhappy about the findings.
But, aha, this was all part of Sherlock's ingenious plan. You see, Magnussen has a list of emotional or mental pressure points for each of his adversaries or people in power, and Sherlock is therefore assured that, with the media coverage, Magnussen will count drug addiction as his. Mycroft is very displeased that Sherlock is trying to take down Magnussen, given that he's got information the elder Holmes would love to get his hands on. But, Sherlock's a stubborn sort. John is also very surprised to learn that Sherlock has been seeing Mary's friend Janine (from the wedding) and that things seem to be going well.
The beginning of this episode really puts the audience in John's shoes in terms of confusion. He really doesn't understand Sherlock's intentions, or his motives, or whether or not he really is back on the drugs. When Sherlock takes him to Magnussen's office, with his plan to get up the private elevator contingent on Janine being the bad man's personal assistant, things start to fall into place, though Watson is still kept in the dark about the full depth of the problems at hand when they find that Janine has been knocked unconscious, which begins my favorite portion of the episode.
Magnussen is being held at gunpoint by a woman who wears a specific perfume. Sherlock assumes it to be Lady Smallwood, but in actuality it's Mary, who hasn't been who she says she is. When Sherlock calls her bluff, she actually shoots him in the chest and his mind begins to race, determining all the things he should do in order to not die. This sequence is amazing; we see Molly, Anderson, Mycroft, and even Moriarty at various points either helping or hindering Sherlock as he attempts to cling to life long enough to be taken to the hospital. This episode was directed by Nick Hurran and this sequence really exemplifies what's great about his visual style. And it goes on quite a while, too. The beauty of the length of these episodes is that they can linger in moments and have an entire 10 minute sequence take place within Sherlock's brain in probably 15 seconds of real time.
The next section deals with the truth about Mary, and it turns out she's a former assassin, a surgeon with a pistol. Magnussen was using her past as leverage against her, and John, and by extension Sherlock. John, when he finds out, is understandably angry and feels betrayed, though Sherlock seems to immediately know that she didn't actually want to kill him, and could have if she wanted. It was she who called the ambulance that saved him, and so he realizes this means she's trustworthy. He also tells John that it made sense that he would fall for someone "dangerous," given his proclivities toward that kind of exciting lifestyle and his restless ennui when he was just living at home. This also doesn't make John happy. Eventually, they take on Mary as a client and she gives John a thumb drive with all of her information on it and knows that when he reads it, he will want nothing to do with her.
Now, it might be easy to get irritated by this turn of events and say that Steven Moffat is just yet again writing a badass chick character like he loves to do so much. However, in this instance, it seems to make really good, logical sense. Mary, or whatever her real name is, WOULD be the kind of woman for John. John went out with "regular" women before and it never worked out because they couldn't take Sherlock or his lifestyle. Mary liked Sherlock right away, because she's weird too. And by weird, of course, I mean "a former murderer." But, it says a lot about Watson as a man, which I think is more important than simply having a character who suddenly is a murderer. In the books, Mary is kind of a nothing character, so this gives her a huuuuuge bit of business and something for John to deal with. That they reconciled at Christmas feels earned and totally within character.
As much as I'd like to talk about all the great stuff at Christmas, I really need to get to the end of the episode and why I still don't understand part of it. Okay, so Sherlock drugs everybody in order to take Mycroft's classified laptop to Magnussen in the hopes of trading it for the information about Mary that he has in his Appledore vaults. Magnussen realizes immediately that the laptop has a tracking thing on it so he'd be caught with it right away. This was all part of his plan; get to Mary to get to John to get to Sherlock to get to Mycroft. Sherlock and John want to see the vault, except there isn't one. It's all Magnussen's "Mind Palace." There's no evidence at the ready, he just knows everything and can access it any time he wants. So, he basically, apparently, has them over a barrel because he can do whatever he wants. The two of them will go to prison for trying to sell State secrets and he'll still have all the information on Mary to keep them in his pocket.
He starts flicking Watson's face because he can and Sherlock tells him he has to let him… okay… Mycroft and the authorities arrive in a helicopter and Magnussen laughs, having succeeded yet again. Sherlock then takes out Watson's pistol and shoots Magnussen in the head, leading to his arrest and Mycroft essentially sending him on a suicide mission. My question is this: Why is this such a big deal? Other than the fact that murder is a crime (which I'm not disputing in the least), why is Sherlock killing Magnussen so terrible? Magnussen had NOTHING except what was in his mind. He was blackmailing dozens of people in high positions in the UK and abroad and, I would think, him not actually having any documents and admitting to them only being in his brain would be like welcoming someone to kill him. Let me reiterate: he had NOTHING and yet was flicking John in the face because he was "untouchable."
Why would Mycroft care? I could see if Lestrade had witnessed it; he's an upstanding policeman and everything, but Mycroft is like the head of spies in Britain, he can make anything go away. He didn't even have to report about it. Was he really so upset about losing information he thought Magnussen had? The man had been blackmailing people for years, and basically doing anything he wanted, including threatening people within the British government and, it's believed at the beginning, the Prime Minister. I don't know if I've said this already, but he had NOTHING.
Anyway, it just didn't make sense and was kind of dumb, especially given that after a touching farewell, Sherlock is no more than 4 minutes away when he's called back because *shocker* Moriarty is back. Is he, though? I kind of hope this is just one of Moffat and Gatiss' patented red herrings and it's Moriarty's network or something. I liked the way he died, and it's not like he hasn't been around enough in Sherlock's brain since then. But, we'll have to wait a year or so for that to be answered.
Despite my complete bafflement about the final act, I really liked "His Last Vow." It was a good mystery with some excellent twists, some great character moments, and a really effective and despicable villain who, let's face it, sort of deserved to get shot in the head. Is that bad of me to say?
Sherlock's done for another year. Sigh. I guess I'll just have to watch the whole thing again. Again.
I'm curious as to which of the three episodes from this season you liked the best…
So, some of you think it's okay to kill someone because he is irritating? This guy could write stories from his head, but he could not print photos from his head. The "facts" could not be verified. He'd be sued for libel, and then he'd be powerless.
I liked the "Watson chooses weird people part", but the rest was trying too hard to be edgy. More time should have been spent proving what a bad guy Magnussen was instead of showing Sherlock deciding which direction to fall.-
Sorry, drew, I meant to reply to everyone in general, not to you specifically
Thank you for nailing on the head what was the problem with this episode. It has been nagging me for weeks. Everything up until the flicking of the face was great (I wanted more Lindsey Duncan though). Then it all went a little sideways. Mycroft had just said he didn't want Sherlock to take the suicide mission…why not put Sherlock in prison instead of sending him away until you need him again (4 minutes later) or as you say, just make it all go away. I mean in Season 2, he makes a whole plane full of dead people go away. I thought Magnusseum was creepy but too much of Sherlock saying he's the worst thing ever instead of showing why he's the worst ever. Unlike Moriarty, there was no real development of the character for the audience to really fear him.
First of all, I have an issue with anyone who would think this:
"Now, it might be easy to get irritated by this turn of events and say that Steven Moffat is just yet again writing a badass chick character like he loves to do so much."
There are not near enough "badass chick" characters in the world to be irritated with a writer for making one.
Secondly, Mycroft made it very clear that Magnussen was an important tool for the British gov't. It was not only that he had people blackmailed, but he also had a wealth of information and connections that Mycroft could use. It has nothing to do with shooting Mags being "wrong," and more to do with punishing his brother for taking away something he valued. When it turned out the need for Sherlock was greater than his desire to punish him and legal requirement to put him away, he made the cost/benefit calculation quite easily.
I don't think Moriarty is Moriarty. The man we knew as Jim Moriarty was part of the network, like Red John. Is it him, is it not? Either way, the wait for next season will be excruciating.
great write up as always sir!
I loved this episode…and this series…its all felt very different than the previous seasons. I think a big part of that is that you almost have to take all 3 episodes as one over-all-episode to really get into the big picture.
My primary critques are that Magnussen was given more develoment time..they could have written him into ep1 and 2 moreso and the resolution with Sherlock shooting him. It just seemed so brute force and obvious…two things that Sherlock doesnt do. Also, Magnussen has really not done anything wrong…yes yes i know blackmail is 'bad' or 'illegal' but his crime was only using FACTS which he had over people to influence them. Does such acts really balance out Sherlock killing him in cold blood? In front of countless witnesses? Meh. There is, of course, the soap opera element that he could be still alive. (Helllllo Moriarity).
Anyhoo..i dont mean to overly critique…this show, its characters, its writing, its storylines, its direction, and everything else about it, is unmatched. Its wonderful. The best gift of all is knowing they'll make more!!!!! I thought for SURE that this would be the final season, given Benedict and Martin's growing fame and the fact that Moffatt is still helming the wonderful Doctor Who (does this guy sleep? aparently not. He just writes awesome stuff 24/7).
Peace .n. Deductions
The lack of evidence really isn't an issue. He knew about all their trespasses AND ran the media. At any moment, all he had to do was leak a story to his paper/TV/etc and it would ruin people. Since his claims were based on facts, there should be no evidence to the contrary and people would be ruined. That's the power he had. Not having documents stored anywhere, it all being in his "Mind Palace" made him even more dangerous. He could instantly recall names, places, and dates which could ruin someone, and even if you burned his house to the ground, he'd still have the information on you to leak.
He didn't need physical evidence because the story would force proper authorities to act and find evidence that corroborated the story (assuming everything he has is based on facts).
I think Mycroft was protecting Sherlock rather than punishing him by sending him away. Seems like his hands were tied and that's all he could do, was to send him away somewhere until things blew over. Moriarity — hard to say, but they may come up with a sound reasoning how he also faked his own death. I saw that coming.
I've wondered if Mycroft's statement, "You have more utility closer to home. Here there be dragons," was a sign that he had changed his mind regarding Sherlock taking on Magnussen. He may have seen Magnussen as too much of a liability at that point.
Intersting that the view has been that Sherlock shooting Magnusson is no big deal. Granted, the man was a cruel and calculated destroyer of lives, and the world is better off without him. Sherlock, for all that he claims to be a high functioning sociopath has just taken a human life. A line has been crossed, and Mycroft knows it, hence the "what have you done" line. Mycroft fears for his brother and what he could become, for all his protestations of disinterest.
The problem I had with the episode was they didn't really show Magnusson doing anything. Yes, he's a blackmailer, but if they had shown one clear example of how him blackmailing someone in power led to something terrible, then the murder would have been more justified. It'd be like if Star Wars just talked about how evil Darth Vader was. They didn't do that, they showed him choke a general for disobeying him and then he blew an entire planet. Hell, even the terrible prequels show him murdering children (sorry, younglings–terrible word).
If the show runners had demonstrated one evil act, then I would have been more on board with Sherlock shooting him. Or, if they had done one of those scenes that is typical with this show where Sherlock thought of everything. He sort of did, he made sure that John brought his pistol. Why? The only reason to bring it is to kill Magnusson if it needed to be done.
I do like that fact that they made the villain very modern, but also scary. The very exaggerated portrayal of Rupert Murdoch, an foreign newspaper magnate who steals secrets, I thoroughly enjoyed. It would have been nice if they had made a few more digs at the state of modern journalism and news. The fact that national stories get bumped to cover anything Bieber related should be made fun more often. It's ridiculous.
On a side note, I'm totally digging the Batman Reanimated series. Please keep them coming–that show was amazing.
*Blew up* an entire planet. But I'm sure there is a gross fan film where Vader actually blows an entire planet, a la Debbie Does Dallas.
Actually, knotadoctor, there was a reference during the course of the episode showing a man with allegations of misconduct that committed suicide. The story was told via newspaper headlines and easily missed.
There was a quick scene in the kitchen at Christmas where Sherlock briefly looks at a newspaper where the headline is Lady commits suicide. Nobody mentions it, but it seems the woman that he threathened, his client, actually took her own life. I think that might have motivated him more.
I disliked both episodes this season where Sherlock was talking to himself, in his own head, like he had done in previous seasons, but suddenly it was Mycroft, or other people, who Sherlock was talking to and interacting with. It reminds me of Dexter, where he actually remembers things his dad said in the first two or three seasons, but then later seasons have him talking to himself, except that they have him interacting with his dead dad.
It is not accurate that he had nothing. They mentioned when he need documents or proof he could send out for it. Part of the info he has is where the proof can be located. He seemed to have the letters for example. Although they could have been fakes. Sherlock calls him the Napoleon of blackmail, so he is effective. I wonder if Napoleon is the title for the best in each field. The Napoleon of car theft, forgers, etc.
I don't think Moriarty is really back. Dooesn't Moriarty have a sidekick? Or like another comment said, it could be someone from his network.
Either way, it left me exactly like the other episodes have. Baffled and intrigued.On hindsight, I would have loved to see more action from Magnussen.
Well, we have to wait another year or so to find out more…
I need to watch this again – I don't understand why Mary, who is an assassin, didn't just continue with her Magnussen execution and then "pretend"-kill Sherlock to get out of there. She could have shot Magnussen, turned around and then clipped Sherlock.
@Lee – exactly. And why wasn't she wearing a face mask? Although I really liked the episode, bad plot changes like that are very irritating.
SIGN THE PETITION: MAKE SHERLOCK SEASON 4 A PREQUEL TO SEASON 2: https://www.change.org/petitions/sherlock-showrunners-make-season-4-a-prequel-to-season-2
@Lee They told you John was in the building and would be investigated and maybe turning attentions on his wife's past.
@Kyle – Mycroft! Mycroft! Mycroft! He is the world's best chess player! He set this all up in order to give Sherlock a reason to murder someone that needed to be dealt with anyway. Have this newly minted piece in his pocket for the future.(a Sherlock Homes that will kill someone when pushed) Maybe this is not the intention of the writers, but I really enjoy Mycroft and I think this is what happened It also makes this show fall into place for me.. otherwise I would agree with your assessment. As for Jim returning… I will await what the writers have decided. I would love to have his image used by another organization or the 'real' Moriarty … and MORE Irene Adler.
Just so long as bringing in more Irene Adler doesn't lead to the reveal that she's the real Moriarty…which Elementary already did
I think it was Lord Smallwood who committed suicide, not Lady Smallwood; Lord Smallwood was the one with incriminating evidence of an intimate correspondence with an underage girl. The threat of scandal probably took its toll…unless I missed a headline showing that Magnussen had released the info. I'll have to watch it again to try to pay attention to the papers.
I love the idea that Mycroft intended for Sherlock to take care of Magnussen one way or another, but I'm not sure that's how it'll play out later on.
I know it's fiction and one must suspend belief, but how does "the most dangerous man on the planet" allow someone to walk into his lair with a loaded weapon? He doesn't have them frisked? He doesn't have some sort of metal detector? What about his security personnel? Seemed a little stupid for such a brilliant man with a mind castle to not check them for weapons.
The one thing I can't figure out: did they ever indicate where Magnussen was getting his information. I got that Appledore was not an underground vault but his own mind palace…but they never explained…
…where did he get the information regarding Lady Smallwood's husband's affair?…
…where did he get all of the information on Mary?…
How does all of this damning information get into his mind palace??? What did I miss? Do I need to watch the episode again?
Why doesn't Sherlock just let Mary assassinate Magnussen later? She's a world class assassin…
I think there is more going on here than we know (or the writing is simply degenerating). Sherlock seems uncharacteristically off his game in this episode, bested at every turn by Magnussen and finally reduced from a role as super sleuth to one of impulsive assassin.
But…I don't buy the idea of Sherlock making a bumbling deduction about Magnussen sporting informative high-tech spectacles. Seriously? Did anyone notice Sherlock hitting the morphine in full view of Magnussen at the beginning of this sequence? I think Sherlock was playing him all along.
Do we know Magnussen is even dead…there was no clear visual confirmation. Could all this be staged to draw out Moriarty?
Or maybe the writing is just lacking creativity, and Sherlock was simply bested by his adversary who he impulsively murdered.
Mycroft mentioned that he didn't have any feelings of sibling sentiment as evidenced by the"other one." What was that all about? Another Holmes brother that Mycroft let die…
I think Holmes didn't want Mary to take down Magnusson because Watson was in the building and would be implicated for the murder, but I could be wrong. We only had Magnusson's word that all the information was stored in his brain…. There could have been files somewhere. I enjoyed the episode and the script did make the villain really disgusting, but it did bother me somewhat that now Sherlock is a murderer of sorts.
i was so let down by "his last vow." the entire story was fantastic until the end. the disappointment comes in sherlock being outwitted by someone who self-admittedly is "not a murderer." magnusson was was a teller of secrets, a teller of the truth, albeit a bully. i don't recall anything in the episode that indicated he physically harmed anyone by deceit, but rather by sharing the truths about people which they had themselves perpetrated. yes, he used that information for his gain, but the perpetrators hid the information for their gain. unable to outwit magnusson, sherlock sinks to the level applauded in every hollywood thriller — the gun is mightier than the mind. his brilliance frustrated, he reaches for a gun. the writers in effect had the brilliant sherlock holmes commit suicide with the shot to his challenger's head, becoming a low-thinking, bully rather than the super sleuth i'd come to love.
The talk about Mary being an assassin because John chose her and the subsequent Christmas resolution scene made me so mad I couldn't even talk about it afterwards and if everything ignoring this wasn't so good I would be seriously considering erasing Sherlock from my watch list.
I know people who have been in a physically abusive relationship, and many more who've been in a relationship with other forms of abuse (myself included) and I know the struggle to develop relationships of any kind when you find yourself attracting other abusers. To have this kind of victim blaming going on and the empathy we're expected to feel for Mary is NOT ON. Did anyone even think before having people support John forgiving Mary with so little concern for John himself that this is reality for most of us? That when you reveal abuse to relatives they often come down on the side of the abuser, that some will mess with your mind until you think the abuse is normal and to be expected? That you are wrong for not wanting to suffer or trying to end/get away from the suffering? That when you try to escape others will INVITE THEM TO CHRISTMAS in hopes of a reconciliation (this is EXACTLY how it happens.)
Mary might not have beat John, but she did manipulate him. Why? Because she wanted him. What about what John wants? Didn't matter. Still doesn't. The relationship ticks none of the boxes. It is with this one revelation not safe, sane or consensual. I'm going away now because I'm starting to get that sick feeling and need to find something happy making. -
There's NO WAY that Sherlock actually killed that man. there are contradictions WITHIN the episode between what Sherlock knows and what hes doing. Every time that's happened in this series so far; it's because Sherlock is presumably a staggeringly smart man.
He knows the vaults have no computerized documents… followed by him asking to see the glasses because he "thinks" that they display the documents?
The gun used may be Watson's, but it was handled and placed by Sherlock… i doubt that the plot is this straight forward in a cliff-hanger episode where there are behaviors that outright DO NOT FIT. Sherlock, after firing, shouts at Watson to stand well back… keeping him away from examining things closely.
Additionally; i would wager we'll see a pretty striking parallel in this "death" when similar themes appear in how Moriarty seemed to have ended himself; wherein a gun that was produced by Moriarty appeared to kill Moriarty, because there was no other way to guarantee Sherlock's compulsory suicide.
If Moriarty is back… and he is not dead (again… made possible by him being a clever clever man; and Sherlock, and presumably everyone else, having been fooled… as there is a visual disconnect between when Moriarty kills himself and would have likely have been recovered for the autopsy examination… enough of a disconnect for a body to be placed.).
THIS EPISODE allows the writers to create a bridge back to Moriarty by permitting the possibility of faking a death, even if it seems to be a bullet through the skull.
These writers have done very well so far… and seem to understand that there is a real game of chess going on here between these characters. This killing, if in fact faked, is another move… just as Moriarty's now, apparently, not-so-permanent state of dead-ness is. There MUST exist a connection between the newly and formerly dead men; and the removal of Magnussen from the board is yet another move.
"The game is never over".
If what i said above turns out to be entirely wrong… and he really did just kill that man… and make that many mistakes… This was the worst episode.-
THANK YOU. I have suspected this myself, but have never really been able to find anyone that believes the same.
If he did in fact kill Magnussen, it would be an extremely weak episode indeed. Sure we'd catch a glimpse of the side of Sherlock that we don't often see. A side that exposes his inability to cope or defeat with his intellect an immovable force. Yet I feel if we're going to see this, we would see it with an adversary that has continued to elude Sherlock's grasp, an intellectual equal- not a character we've just met (and just "defeated").
If this was their angel, they would do it with Moriarty. I see the strengths and weaknesses of Sherlock actually being confronted with a puzzle he cannot solve, however I do not believe there to be a man other than Moriarty that could outsmart Sherlock. What would be the point in having more than one foe outwitting him? It makes for a loose story, concept, and character.
One thing wrong with this article; Magnussen did still have the hard copies somewhere and could send for them if he needed them. He openly said that. So the information isn't just in his mind.Only the vaults are in his mind.

Stream Caribou-Linked Pick a Piper's Airy, Post-Disco 'All Her Colours'
Enon/Brainiac's John Schmersal sings lead
Brad Weber has put in time on percussion in Caribou's live band, and so far he's put out a couple of digital-only EPs as Pick a Piper. On April 2, the Toronto-based songwriter and producer's project will release its self-titled debut album via Mint Records, and first advance track "All Her Colours" should please fans of floaty, polyrhythmic dance-pop that mixes organic drum sounds with synths, found-sound samples, and electronics — in other words, calling all kids (and all Caribou fans). Members of Ruby Suns, Born Ruffians, and Braids lend guest vocals to the album; singing lighter-than-air vocals on this one is John Schmersal, from beloved indie-rock bands Enon and Brainiac and, not coincidentally, another member of Caribou's touring contingent.

Local Spine Surgeon Sentenced for Concealing Felony Involving Local Doctors & Lawyers
Las Vegas, Nev. – Las Vegas orthopaedic spine surgeon, Mark B. Kabins, M.D., was sentenced today by Senior U.S. District Judge Justin L. Quackenbush to five years of probation, six months of home confinement, 250 hours of community work service, and ordered to pay $3.5 million in restitution to victim Melodie Simon for his guilty plea to concealing a fraud committed by his co-defendants, local lawyer Noel Gage and medical consultant Howard Awand, announced Daniel G. Bogden, United States Attorney for the District of Nevada.
Dr. Kabins, 49, pleaded guilty on November 23, 2009, to one count of misprision of felony, which is defined under federal law as knowing that another person committed a felony and not notifying appropriate authorities about the crime as soon as possible.
In his guilty plea agreement, Dr. Kabins admitted that on August 3, 2000, in Las Vegas, he assisted another orthopedic surgeon, John Thalgott, M.D. in performing spine surgery on patient Melodie Simon. Simon became paralyzed from complications that arose after the surgery. Dr. Kabins knew that experts could say that he fell below the standard of care in his treatment of Simon, and that he could be sued. To avoid being sued, Dr. Kabins asked Howard Awand, a medical consultant who referred personal injury cases to him and to lawyers, to persuade Simon's attorney, Noel Gage, not to sue him and Dr. Thalgott. Dr. Kabins believed that Awand would corruptly attempt to persuade Gage by referring lucrative personal injury cases to Gage. After receiving referrals from Awand, Gage chose not to sue Dr. Kabins or Dr. Thalgott. Instead, he sued an anesthesiologist. Dr. Kabins believed that Gage did not sue him because Awand had referred cases to him. To help Gage sue the anesthesiologist, Dr. Kabins drafted a "Letter of Complaint" from which he intentionally omitted information about his secret dealings with Gage and information about Simon's medical condition following her surgery.
Trial in the fraud case against Gage and Awand is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, February 10, 2010.
The case is being investigated by the FBI, IRS Criminal Investigation, and the Nevada Attorney General's Office, and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Steven W. Myhre and Daniel R. Schiess.

Friends of David Whitney, the respected art curator who died last June, launched a building fund in his honor at New Yorks Gagosian Gallery on December 9. It will aid reconstruction of the Ohr-OKeefe museum, in Biloxi, Miss. The Museum, designed by Frank Gehry, FAIA, was headed toward a July 2006 opening when it received substantial damage during Hurricane Katrina.
The centerpieces of the 25,000-square-foot museum were four podlike gallery pavilions to show the work of George E. Ohr (1857-1918), the famed mad potter of Biloxi. Ohr is celebrated as one of Americas first ceramic fine artists. Flamboyant and mercurial, Ohr made the act of throwing pots a performance, producing colorful vases, bowls and pots pinched and ruffled into shapes of impressive delicacy. Whitney was consulting curator for the museums inaugural exhibition when he died. Whitney was also a prominent art collector, and the long-time life partner of architect Philip Johnson.
David was a great friend, said Gehry, standing by an architectural model of the complex at the Fund launch. I will do whatever it takes to get this institution back on its feet.
Gehrys design included six twisting, metal-clad pavilions arranged around 26 ancient live oaks on a four-acre site. The gallery "pods are like curved silos, and the rest are boxy pavilions with overlapping curved-metal roofs. Gehry used elements found in local architecture, such as porches and open-air belvederes, on each pavilion.
A casino barge blown onshore by the storm crushed a pavilion devoted to African-American folk art and history. The unfinished gallery pods were seriously damaged. The storm also destroyed the Pleasant Reed House, an 1887 shotgun house that had been moved to the site. A center for ceramics, which included storm-resistant storage was only slightly damaged. Pavilions designed to house artists-in-residence and education programs were also damaged. The Ohr pottery collection was offsite during the storm and was not harmed.
Insurance will cover much of the damage according to Gerald OKeefe, who once the mayor of Biloxi and helped launch the museum with a substantial early gift. The David Whitney Fund will specifically aid the reconstruction of the gallery pods. The museum project was budgeted at $30 million. It is unclear how much additional money will need to be raised to upgrade storm resistance. The museum now expects to reopen in about two years.

Engagement Parties
Yes, that's true. An engagement party is celebrating the upcoming wedding so if you invite your receptionist and your accounting department, you better hope your guest list can fit them when wedding time rolls around.
My advice is this: before you throw any sort of party or send out any type of announcement about your engagement, make sure you have put together your guest list and your budget. Get family and friends names from both sides and make sure that your list is under control. If you put the list together and find that without extended family it is already at 200+ people, you may need to figure some things out. If you know that 200+ people at your favorite venue will put you way over your budget, this will help you decide very quickly about who should be invited to your engagement party and who shouldn't. Most people will understand-and the ones who don't, you probably won't really want them at your wedding anyway.

Wedding Dress Shopping
These dresses are from Mori Lee, http://www.morilee.com/
Now lets take a look at department stores: Nordstrom has a Wedding shop with some great dresses for under $1,000.
From http://www.nordstrom.com/, JS Boutique $180
From http://www.nordstrom.com/, Mary L Couture, $308As you can see, there are plenty of dresses out there (beautiful ones) that won't break the bank.Start by calling a few local bridal shops to set appointments. Going in during the week will be the best time because it won't be as busy-but regardless, make sure to set an appointment. Don't bring your entire bridal party-too many opinions, too many emotions, too many people waiting on you. The dress shopping experience should be a fun one. You shouldn't feel rushed at all-by your friends or by the bridal salon.

Welcome to my blog

About Me!
Hi there,
Thanks for checking out my blog and wanting to get to know me a little more.
I knew I wanted to work in the event planning industry when I was just 14 years old. My parents owned a catering business where I worked as a banquet server and, as I got older, catering manager. Even though my days started at six in the morning, I remember the energy I felt when setting up the reception site, meeting with the florist, and seeing the bride for the first time. Even after an 18-hour work day, I still got teary-eyed during every toast, every first dance, and every ceremony- I found myself eating up the details and savoring every moment.
Fast forward to today: After graduating from ASU with a degree in business, managing a full-time work schedule, planning events for a medium-sized company, and trying to live a life somewhere in between, I realized my true calling was to own my own business helping people plan the important events of their lives. When I plan weddings and events, I utilize the same multi-tasking skills that make me successful in life—organization, efficiency, and attention to detail. The greatest compliment I ever received was from a very busy bride who told me I made her excited about her wedding again! All the options of planning a wedding can be overwhelming and many brides get lost in the details. My services will alleviate your stress and get you excited again.
That said, I promise to obsess over the details of your day. I promise to contemplate every "what if" that might occur. I promise to be as excited about your colors, flowers, cake, dress, and signature drink as you are. Most importantly, I promise to give you and your family the time to enjoy your event. Let me manage the details so you can focus on what's important: your big day!

Justin Adonte Matoke, better known as his stage name JMAN, was born September 25th 1991 in Dallas, Texas. He was raised by his mother who taught him early to persevere through adversity and the problems that life has in store. At the age of seven, he moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado where he attended 5th-11th grade. He attended four different high schools and played basketball for each. Justin was inspired to start rapping his tenth grade year when he was asked to make a song for his High School basketball team. After realizing that he had a gift for writing he continued to increase his talents for the rest of his high school carreer. His senior year he moved to Charlotte, North Carolina where he graduated from East Mecklenburg High School in 2009. In the fall Justin enrolled at Hampton University where he released his first mixtape, The City is Mine. In the spring he released his second mixtape, Barcode Bars. JMAN's third mixtape, Just In Time, was released September 25th 2010. JMAN continued to work hard for his fans and released his first two official mixtapes in 2011. On his birthday, September 25th, he released Just Making A Name which was the acronym for his stage name. After taking a six month break over the summer, he released his most recent mixtape, HIGHATUS. JMAN says he will continue to give out free music to his fans because he wants to earn believers and continue "practicing" before starting an album. The name of his next mixtape is titled REAL LOVE and is set to release on Valentines Day of 2012.

Everyday, thieves steal cars and trucks, both old and new, from area streets, driveways, parking lots and garages. For most of the unsuspecting owners, the results can range from tremendous economic hardship to higher insurance premiums.
It is more important than ever to educate yourself on steps to prevent vehicle theft and reduce your chances of becoming the next victim.
Auto Theft Prevention Tips:
1. Lock your car doors and windows, even when you are in the vehicle. Your only exception would be to crack your windows for pets left unattended in the car. 2. Never leave your car unattended with the engine running -- not even in your driveway. 3. Do not leave or hide your car keys in or on your car.4. Secure your vehicle's tag with one-way screws. Most suspects steal a tag to put on a stolen vehicle. Making it difficult to remove your tag increases the chances the tag will not be changed and easier for the police to spot your car. 5. Reduce attention to your vehicle. Do not leave items in plain view in the passenger compartment. Items such as firearms, packages and cellular phones draw attention to your vehicle. 6. Place your car registration, driver's license and proof of insurance in your wallet, not in the glove compartment. When sharing a vehicle, provide a copy to the other drivers. 7. Install removable electronics such as compact disc players. Don't leave them in the car. 8. Install extra security devices. Most anti-theft equipment cost less than the deductible for a stolen car.
9. Park in secured, well lighted areas. More than 50 percent of vehicle thefts occur at night. 10. Park your vehicle in a garage if possible. Lock both your car and garage. 11. Don't be complacent because you drive an older model car. These vehicles often are stripped for parts that are sold for two to three times the car's value.

Ten Spot also sells Sparitual, my favourite vegan nail polish. I great beauty spot for vegans or the more health conscious beauty consumer.
Fashion Stores
The Ten Spot
The Ten Spot's look is a little bit NYC and de'¼ünitely urban. All surfaces are sleek, re'¼éective, immaculate, loft-like and/or industrial. The Ten Spot is brightly lit, and the lighting is all '¼éattering. Every detail has been thought through in this space.
Women who come to The Ten Spot come to The Ten Spot a lot. This isn╩╝t the ╩╗once a year birthday pampering╩╝ place (though they do that too), it╩╝s the wing of your house/apartment that you don╩╝t have, for "regular maintenance". The grooming wing. Sleek and stocked with meticulously tidy and prettily packaged products.
The Ten Spot boasts the city╩╝s only "facial bar". The concept being that facials are a bit frumpy and fussy, and why couldn╩╝t they be more like just-pop-in-and-get-it-done pedicures. The facial bar is on The Ten Spot's 2nd '¼éoor, which is painted all black, and is decorated like your cool big sister╩╝s attic apartment.
Kate Nash sings about "The Nicest Thing" while the the aesthetician slash diagnostician discusses your skin with you -- making the experience a bit more clinical than average (though not in a bad way).
My aesthetician, quite rightly, let me know that I have sensitive skin -- and, as she has the same, commiserated that means we can╩╝t use any of the more satisfyingly aggressive scrubs and peels. It╩╝s all about "gentle" and "calming" and "soothing". (Skin doesn╩╝t seem to care if it ╩╗goes with╩╝ your personality).
The Ten Spot╩╝s facial bar is exclusively stocked by Dermalogica. On The Ten Spot╩╝s website they say they "proudly use Dermalogica". And it╩╝s true -- they really, really are proud of this. As each product is used during the treatment, its full Dermalogica name is provided.
Now, spa products have to come from somewhere, fair enough. But the presence of the Dermalogica brand in the facial feels a little too close to the foreground. Sealed by the Dermalogica facial analysis sheet provided at the facial╩╝s end (complete with tick boxes beside recommended Dermalogica products). This will be kept on '¼üle for your future reference (if you lose your copy).
The facial is well executed (no creams up the nose) and ef'¼ücient (45mins), and always includes a massage. We leave feeling relaxed, and our faces feeling extremely soft and hydrated.
There is the usual walkthrough of the ╩╗products we used today╩╝ on your way out, though the pressure to buy is not too bad. The experience closes with a stamp on our Buy 10 Get 1 free cards, and a complimentary The Ten Spot lip butter balm.
Tip: the "Pomegranate Punch" '¼éavour is just like cherry chapstick. Mmmmm tastes like Grade 5....

Ten Spot also sells Sparitual, my favourite vegan nail polish. I great beauty spot for vegans or the more health conscious beauty consumer.
I liked the space, it's pretty different from places I have been before...... I didn't see it at first, but it's down a cute little allyway thing so you just have to look!
I ventured out and once had a mani-pedi with them, and I wasn't as happy. They didn't seem to really do a thorough job for the price you pay.
But for the brazilian waxes, they absolutely cannot be beat!
My name is Bashir Abdi and I am the creator of Reveal natural skin care line. I was hoping that you would allow me the pleasure of giving your spa a complementary sample and demonstration of the product. My ultimate wish is that Reveal can help people with uneven blotchy acne prone skin types as it has helped me. That's literally how I came up with it via trial and error.
Bashir Abdi.

This is seriously the best foundation I've used in a while. I was hesitant to buy it because I like full coverage foundation and this was advertised as "light". Well I have no complaints. When it comes to coverage this is awesome- you can layer it with no problems! It also brightens the skin! Which I never knew I needed. Makes a big difference. Hats off the Benefit!
5I got a small bottle of this in a Benefit sample pack, and I love it!
A little bit goes a long way (I used about a dime size amount for my entire face - applied with Beauty Blender).
The coverage is nice and light. It does a great job of making your your face look naturally flawless, but for the darker spots/blemishes you'll still need concealer (Benefit's concealer is great, too).
Powdery finish, so be warned that you NEED to moisturize before using this. If your skin is too flaky, it will definitely show through and look less natural.
