Unsurprisingly, India is not the first country to stop offering telegram service: Australia shut down it’s telegram service in 2011 (though “in the Victorian town of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beechworth,_Victoria" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Beechworth, Australia">Beechworth</a>, visitors can send telegrams to family members or friends from the Beechworth Telegraph Station."), along with Ireland in 2002, New Zealand in 1999 and Nepal in 2009. Surprisingly, one can still send telegrams in the United Kingdom, Canada, Russia, the United States and Mexico (where “telegrams are still used as a low-cost service for people who cannot afford or do not have access to e-mail.") Check out the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegram#Worldwide_status_of_telegram_services" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Worldwide status of telegram services">worldwide status of telegram services</a> for a complete listing.

The interviewer seems a bit overly focused on getting Moffat and Gatiss to ‘react’ to various ‘crazy’ and ‘wacky’ BBC <em>Sherlock</em> fandom stuff (e.g. Mystrade), while also seeming not to realize how ‘in touch’ Moffat/Gatiss/Vertue are with the Tumblr/Twitter/etc. world. One particularly odd <em>tentative de provocation</em> seems to be the interviewer's total misunderstanding of <em>Sherlock </em>fans’ use of “feels" (e.g. “Reichenfeels") coupled with the BBC fandom’s habit of affectionately referring to Moffat as a Troll: <span style="font-weight: 700;">MTV Geek</span>: “Obviously fans get very into <em>Sherlock</em>. Many have accused you of “destroying their feelings". What would you like to say to those fans?" <span style="font-weight: 700;">Gatiss</span>: “Well, I haven’t. We haven’t. Conan Doyle made everyone wait ten years to find out what happened to him. We left it five minutes between saying he was dead and saying he’s not dead. I think that’s not cruel. I think it’s actually quite kind."

Here is how Sherlock describes Musgrave in “The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual": “He had changed little, was dressed like a young man of fashion - he was always a bit of a dandy - and preserved the same quiet, suave manner which had formerly distinguished him.

My two favorite pastiches listed on here are <span style="font-weight: 700;">Kim Newman</span>’s <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/professor-moriarty-kim-newman/1100404827" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Moriarty"><em>Professor Moriarty: The Hound of the D’Urberville</em></a> (basically, the Canon seen from the perspective of Sebastian ‘Basher’ Moran) and <span style="font-weight: 700;">Lyndsay Faye</span>’s <em><a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dust-and-shadow-lyndsay-faye/1102042181" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Dust & Shadow">Dust and Shadow: An Account of the Ripper Killings by Dr. John H. Watson</a> </em>(a pastiche which could only be written by a seasoned Sherlockian). On a related note, I hope it goes without saying - since the author of this piece never mentions it - that those afflicted with an <em>idée fixe</em> regarding BBC <em>Sherlock </em>should, <span style="font-weight: 700;">first and foremost, read the entire Canon</span> if he/she has yet to do so. And if you have read all the stories once or still have a few unread stories to go (lucky you!!) I highly suggest re-reading the Canon using one of the four main annotated editions: Baring-Gould’s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0517502917/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0517502917&linkCode=as2&tag=thebakerstree-20" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Annotated Sherlock Holmes"><em>Annotated Sherlock Holmes</em></a> (2 vols), <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0192123297/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0192123297&linkCode=as2&tag=thebakerstree-20" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Oxford Sherlock Holmes"><em>Oxford Sherlock Holmes</em></a> (9 vols), Klinger’s <a href="http://www.wessexpress.com/html/shrl.html" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Sherlock Holmes Reference Library"><em>Sherlock Holmes Reference Library</em></a> (Gasogene, 10 vols) or Klinger’s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-New-Annotated-Sherlock-Holmes/dp/0393059162" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="New Annotated Sherlock Holmes"><em>New Annotated Sherlock Holmes</em></a> (Norton, 3 vols). If you’re on a tight budget, you can probably find the Baring-Gould two volume set used (VG/G condition) for $10 to $15. If you need a second opinion, check out the first comment from one Mr <a href="https://twitter.com/lklinger" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Les Klinger"><span style="font-weight: 700;">Leslie S Klinger</span></a>: “When in despair, read the Canon!

During the filming of series two, this photo [see below] was taken on the set and at some point ended up on Mark Gatiss’s Twitter. Showing <span style="font-weight: 700;">Benedict Cumberbatch</span> and <span style="font-weight: 700;">Martin Freeman</span>’s matching mugs full of tea (and revealing that Martin Freeman apparently takes milk in his). With the hiatus getting to them rather pitifully, the fandom spun this photo into its own universe of mug-porn, mug-fanart, mug-replicas, and mug jokes. There is literally fanfiction written about these mugs. It is beyond reason…" This is precisely where the ‘Sherlockian Kool-Aid’ was meant to be drunk from; and even if you think the BBC <em>Sherlock</em> Tumblr fandom is insane, these still make handsome coffee drinking devices. </span></div>

The iconic image of Sherlock Holmes always includes a pipe. The association between Great Detective and three-pipe problems is so strong that his silhouette is featured on signs outside tobacco shops around the world...<br />

...which is why I find it delightful that Peterson of Dublin has a Sherlock Holmes series of pipes.<br />
<br />
I do not smoke a pipe, but I think that these pipes are simply lovely. I wouldn't mind having one or more of these on a rack on my Sherlock Holmes shelf. Peterson has been hand-crafting high-end pipes since 1865. The company motto is “The Thinking Man Smokes A Peterson Pipe”, so it makes some sense that they would create an entire series in honor of one of the greatest thinking men in literature. <br />

First issued in 1987, the pipes are available in smooth briar, ebony, rustic, and some sandblast finish. All have extra large bowls, with sterling silver bands and a fishtail mouthpiece. The initial issue was in the form of a seven day set, and included a specially crafted wooden rack for the complete set.<br />

It's easy to assume that Sherlock Holmes's powers were something of an anomaly - that Holmes was a superhero with something akin to super powers, and we mere mortals cannot attain the same level of expertise and professionalism. But that assumption would be wrong, as author <b><a href="http://www.mariakonnikova.com/about/">Maria Konnikova</a></b> has made abundantly clear.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
In her book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0670026573/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0670026573&linkCode=as2&tag=thebakerstree-20" style="font-weight: bold;"><i>Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes</i></a>, Konnikova, who holds a doctorate in psychology from Columbia University and writes the "<b><a href="http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/literally-psyched/">Literally Psyched</a></b>" column for <i>Scientific American</i>, deconstructs the process of observation, deduction and self-knowledge. In doing so, she gives the reader concrete examples of how to approach the fabled scientific method, along with the psychology behind the process.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While <b><a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2013/03/by-long-and-patient-study-stud_11.html">we have previously reviewed her book</a></b>, our conversation with Maria in this episode took personal turns and got us much deeper into the creative process, her inspiration, and even a back story to Holmes that gave him these powers.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In addition, we covered topics from the ridiculous to the sublime such as movie trailers and voice overs, storytelling, suggestions for getting your fix of Sherlock Holmes news links and more. We also discussed the need to merge this site and the Baker Street Blog and put out a call for assistance from those with technical programming aptitude to help us with the migration and site upgrade. We also asked for feedback on our process, frequency and topics of the show - we'd love to hear from you!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally, we concluded with a reading of the Editor's Gas-Lamp, this time choosing the most recent entry from the Summer 2013 (Vol. 63, No. 2).</div>

They laughed in all of the right places, asked intelligent (pun intended) questions and showed genuine interest. My allotted time of seventy-five minutes flew by so fast that I actually skipped over a few of the paragraphs of my talk. Afterwards, one of the attendees told me that it was the best and most interesting talk he had heard so far at this meeting. Considering that some of the talks included “Has the Onion Outlived its Usefulness?"; “Spiritual Exercise Light"; and “Friendly Delicate Bridge"  I am not sure if this was a compliment or an insult. Another one said that when a room full of Mensa Member all clap, that is a great accomplishment. I was pleased." And though I would like to know if the onion has in fact outlived it’s usefulness, I would very much like to read/hear Mr Hobbs’ entire talk - let’s hope he decides to post the contents of ‘Collecting Sherlock Holmes’ sometime soon.

"There are great little stories on actors who played Lestrade, the evolution of prostitutes in Ripper movies, the historical perspective on the Scotland Yard inspector, and “an audio description of a painting of a statue." For those who think the Babes are overly fond of BBC <em>Sherlock</em>, I would note that they make it fifty minutes into the episode before that particular topic even comes up. But they quickly get back to the Canon and Paget drawings of Lestrade and their contribution to the characters."

For readers unfamiliar with the original Boyle play, the roles of Dr Frankenstein and his Monster were played by <em>the</em> two contemporary actors who are each currently portraying the Great Detective in their respective Sherlock series’. <em>Frankenstein</em>’s world premier was on February 5, 2011, prior to casting for <em>Elementary,</em> leading to this bizarre coincidence, made even stranger by the fact that either role is interchangeable, meaning the two Sherlockian heartthrobs take turns playing either the doomed Doctor or the ill-fated Monster with each other. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sherlockdc.wordpress.com/2013/07/08/frankenstein-16-113/" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Click for more Frankenstein screening info in DC"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/1bfe8816791e1a1e8634002e4e8b272b/tumblr_inline_mpneppirMZ1qz4rgp.jpg" style="border: 0px; max-width: 500px;" /></span></a></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><small><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">[Visit <span style="font-weight: 700;">Sherlock DC</span> on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/sherlock_dc" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="@sherlock_dc">@Sherlock_DC</a> and at their blog <a href="http://sherlockdc.wordpress.com/" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Sherlock DC blog">SherlockDC</a> for updated info about the screening as well as other Washington DC-area Sherlockian activities and events.]</span></small><br /><small><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></small></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thenorwoodbuilder.tumblr.com/post/54939209642/the-stage-lost-a-fine-actor-sherlock-holmes" style="clear: left; color: black; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Norwood Builder's lengthy investigation of Holmes' various canonical disguises"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/4fab2b6534c23b0ef5e7bcb7e68f26de/tumblr_inline_mpp1cc5zMY1qz4rgp.jpg" style="border: 0px; max-width: 500px;" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">[<a href="http://www.sshf.com/encyclopedia/index.php/Collier's" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Collier's cover for DYIN"><em>Collier’s</em></a> cover for <br />"<a href="http://ignisart.com/camdenhouse/canon/dyin.htm" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="DYIN text">The Adventure of the Dying Detective</a>" <br />appearance featuring Holmes in a <br />‘sick disguise’.]</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: 700;"><a href="http://thenorwoodbuilder.tumblr.com/post/54939209642/the-stage-lost-a-fine-actor-sherlock-holmes" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Sherlock Holmes disguises">The Norwood Builder</a></span> often responds to reader’s questions with lengthy and knowledgeable replies on various Canonical and supra-Canonical subjects. Recently a reader asked about the various disguises employed by Holmes over the years, and the Norwood Builder rose to the occasion with an extremely thorough response: “firstly, I’ll have a look to all the main canonical episodes in which Holmes impersonated this or that other figure, and then I’ll close with some general considerations about Sherlock Holmes’ acting abilities." The following disguise categories are used to organize his response: 1) Clergymen, 2) Manual labourers, 3) Women, 4) Old and/or sick characters, 5) Seamen and 6) Foreigners. One of the great pleasures of the Canon is imagining Holmes donning one of his numerous disguises, his mastery and virtuosity causing Watson to remark in "<a href="http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/A_Scandal_in_Bohemia" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="SCAN text">A Scandal In Bohemia</a>" “The stage lost a fine actor, even as science lost an acute reasoner, when [Holmes] became a specialist in crime."</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;"></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://altamarkings.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-observation-of-trifles-fine-detail.html" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title=""The Observation of Trifles" - Fine Detail in Granada's Series with Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes."><span style="font-weight: 700;">Markings</span></a> run by <a href="https://twitter.com/raywilcockson" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Ray Wilcockson on Twitter"><span style="font-weight: 700;">Ray Wilcockson</span></a> recently took a look at the Holmes adaptation that many Sherlockians, even in the age of Cumberbatch, consider to be the apex of Sherlock on screen: “I know I am not alone in often spotting some little treat I hadn’t noticed before in a repeat viewing of one of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_Holmes_(1984_TV_series)" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Granada's Sherlock Holmes">Granada’s classic episodes of Sherlock Holmes</a>.

Holmes has solved the case, but the readers do not get to witness the actual epiphany. Granada’s adaptation remedies this omission by having the audience witness Sherlock Holmes while in the midst of his method. Immersed in the golden light of a slowly rising sun and subtle clouds of tobacco smoke, the Detective sits in a meditative state." </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://168.144.50.205/221bcollection/images/twis-08.jpg" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Click for the original illustration"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/0e7c599f4892177633de4b847e8ed4d1/tumblr_inline_mpnt5snac21qz4rgp.jpg" style="border: 0px; max-width: 500px;" /></span></a></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><small><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">[<span style="font-weight: 700;">Jeremy Brett</span> portraying one of Paget’s greatest illustrations from "<a href="http://168.144.50.205/221bcollection/canon/twis.htm" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="TWIS text with Paget illustrations">The Man With the Twisted Lip</a>" - click image for the original.]</span></small></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: 700;"><a href="http://bakerstreetbeat.blogspot.com/2013/07/sherlock-holmes-advertiser.html" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Sherlock Holmes, Advertiser">Dan Andriacco</a></span> continues his musings on Holmes and the Press, this time reflecting on the surprisingly few times Holmes actually placed advertisements: “Sherlock Holmes doesn’t place advertisements in newspapers as often as you might think — and certainly not nearly as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero_Wolfe" style="color: black; outline: 0px;" target="_blank" title="Nero Wolfe"><span style="font-weight: 700;">Nero Wolfe</span></a>.
