‘The Hound Of The Baskervilles’: A spoof to end all spoofs

Sir Arthur Cannon Doyle's ageless mystery thriller, “The Hound Of The Baskervilles,” has been adapted by British writers Steven Canny and John Nicholson as a brilliant burlesque send up that comes across as a hilarious parody. Doyle actually brought Sherlock back from the dead after he killed him and Moriarty off in “The Final Problem” in 1893. The demand for Sherlock, the monetary lure and—some say—his mother resulted in the Sherlock's return in “The Hound Of The Baskervilles.”

The puck bounded off Reimer’s pads to a waiting Tyler Kennedy at the edge of the crease. Kennedy patiently controlled the puck before lifting it over the prone Reimer at the 8:55 mark.Patrick Marleau scored the game-winning goal at 9:06. The 35-year old winger rushed the puck into the Toronto zone before snapping a low shot between Reimer’s pads.

Wright Lakes High Adventure

After a four-mile ride over a rough and tumble dirt road, we parked at the trailhead to Shepherd Pass above the small town of Independence on the east side of the Sierra. The sun had just begun to light the peaks 8,000 feet above us as we shouldered our packs. Temperatures in the Owens Valley had been warm, and we wanted to climb above the heat before it arrived.
