United States v. Seaman, 58 U.S. 17 How. 225 225 (1854)
United States v. Seaman
58 U.S. (17 How.) 225
By the Act of Congress passed on the 26th of August, 1852, ch. 91, it was made the duty of the superintendent of public printing to receive all matter ordered by Congress to be printed and to deliver it to the public printer or printers.
In 1854, Beverly Tucker was printer to the Senate, and O. A. P. Nicholson, printer to the House of Representatives.
The act further provided that when any document should be ordered to be printed by both Houses of Congress, the entire printing of such document should be done by the printer of that House which first ordered the printing.
In January, 1854, the Commissioner of Patents communicated to the Senate that portion of his Annual Report for 1853, which related to arts and manufactures, and on the ensuing day the same communication was made to the House of Representatives. Each House having ordered it to be printed, the printing was assigned to Mr. Tucker.
In March, 1854, the agricultural portion of the report was sent to both Houses, and both of them, on the same day, ordered it to be printed. In actual priority of time, the order of the House was passed first. The printing of it was given to Mr. Nicholson.
A writ of mandamus will not lie from the circuit court of the United States, commanding the superintendent to deliver the printing to Mr. Tucker.
Whether the two portions of the report constituted one document and which House passed the order first were questions requiring the exercise of judgment and discretion in the public officer, who had something more than a mere ministerial daty to perform.
The cases upon this point examined.
The question was whether the Report of the Commissioner of Patents relating to arts and manufactures and also to agriculture, which was divided into the two branches and made to Congress at different times, was or was not one document, and
whether the delivery of it to the public printer of one or the other House of Congress was or was not a mere ministerial duty.
The facts are stated in the opinion of the Court.
ERROR TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
MR. CHIEF JUSTICE TANEY delivered the opinion of the Court.
The defendant in error, at the times hereinafter mentioned, was and still is superintendent of public printing of the two Houses of Congress, and the relator printer to the Senate, and O. A. P. Nicholson printer to the House of Representatives.
By the Act of August 26, 1852, it is made the duty of the superintendent to receive, from the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of Representatives, all matter ordered by Congress to be printed, and to deliver it to the public printer or printers. And the 12th section provides that when any document shall be ordered to be printed by both Houses of Congress, the entire printing of such document shall be done by the printer of that House which first ordered the printing.
On the 31st of January, 1854, the Commissioner of Patents communicated to the Senate that portion of his annual report for 1853 which relates to arts and manufactures, which that body on the same day ordered to be printed, and on the following day it was communicated to the House of Representatives, who passed a similar order. This communication was delivered by the superintendent to the relator.
On the 20th of March, 1854, the Commissioner communicated to both Houses the agricultural portion of his report, which each House, on the same day, ordered to be printed; the order of the House of Representatives being, it is admitted, first made.
The relator claimed that the report of the Commissioner of Patents was but one document within the meaning of the act of Congress above referred to, and that by virtue of the order of the Senate of the 31st of January, 1854, he was entitled to
the printing of the agricultural portion of the report, although the printing of this part was first ordered by the House of Representatives. The superintendent, however, refused to deliver it, and the relator thereupon applied to the Circuit Court for the District of Columbia for a mandamus to compel the delivery. That court was of opinion that it had not jurisdiction of the case and refused the mandamus, and this writ of error is brought by the relator.
The power of the circuit court of this District to issue writs of mandamus to an officer of the government in Washington has frequently been the subject of discussion in this Court. It was before the Court in Kendall v. Stokes, 12 Pet. 524; in Decatur v. Paulding, 14 Pet. 497; in Brashear v. Mason, 6 How. 92; and again in Goodrich v. Guthrie at the present term. The rule to be gathered from all of these cases is too well settled to need further discussion. It cannot issue in a case where discretion and judgments are to be exercised by the officer, and it can be granted only where the act required to be done is merely ministerial, and the relator without any other adequate remedy.
Now it is evident that this case is not one in which the superintendent had nothing to do but obey the order of a superior authority. He had inquiries to make before he could execute the authority he possessed. He must examine evidence -- that is to say, he must ascertain in which House the order to print was first passed. He may, it is true, generally obtain this from the journals of the two Houses, but yet he must examine them, and compare the dates of the orders; and in this particular case it may even have been necessary to take oral testimony, before he could determine the fact of priority, as the order was passed in each House on the same day. And after he had made up his mind upon this fact, it was still necessary to examine into the usages and practice of Congress, in marking a communication in their proceedings as a document, and to make up his mind whether separate communications upon the same subject, or on different subjects from the same office, when made at different times, were, according to the usages and practice of Congress, described as one document, or different documents, in printing and publishing their proceedings. He was obliged, therefore, to examine evidence and form his judgment before he acted, and whenever that is to be done, it is not a case for a mandamus.
Nor is there any reason of public policy or individual right which requires that this remedy should be extended beyond its legitimate bounds in order to embrace cases of this description, for it would embarrass the operations of the legislative and
executive departments of the government if the court of this district was authorized to interfere, by this summary process, in controversies between officers, in their respective employments, whenever differences of opinion as to their respective rights may arise. If these differences cannot be adjusted by the authorities under which they are acting, an ordinary action at law would be an adequate remedy for any injury sustained.
It seems to be supposed that the case of Kendall v. Stokes justified this application, but it is altogether unlike it. The award of the Solicitor of the Treasury in that case was an official act; he was the officer appointed by act of Congress to settle that account and determine the amount of credit to which Stokes was entitled, if to any, and all that the Postmaster General was required to do was, to enter it in the books of the department, when reported to him by the solicitor of the Treasury. He was merely to record it. His duty under that act of Congress was like that of a clerk of a court, who is required to record its proceedings, or of an officer appointed by law to record deeds, which a party has a right by law to place on record, or of the Register of the Treasury of the United States, to record accounts transmitted to him by the proper accounting officers to be recorded. The duty in such cases is merely ministerial -- as much so as that of a sheriff or marshal to execute the process of a court.
This was the point decided in Kendall v. Stokes and the subsequent cases have all been decided upon the same principles. They are in no degree in conflict with it; on the contrary, they have followed it.
But the case before us, for the reasons above stated, is unlike that of Kendall v. Stokes, and the circuit court was right in refusing the mandamus.
The judgment must therefore be affirmed.
This cause came on to be heard on the transcript of the record from the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Columbia, holden in and for the County of Washington, and was argued by counsel. On consideration whereof it is now here ordered and adjudged by this Court that the judgment of the said circuit court in this cause be and the same is hereby affirmed with costs.

Designing food packaging can be a tricky task. One of the difficult aspects of designing custom packaging for the food industry are the regulatory concerns. Labeling must adequately indicate food allergies and potentially other information that might be necessary to convey to the consumer. However, regardless of regulatory requirements, custom packaging or custom boxes, for the food industry, with inadequately clear labeling is still a problem. Part of the reason for this is not only an increase in allergy awareness but also the number of consumers who have discerning dietary requirements. For example, the number of consumers with vegan or sugar free diets dramatically increased over the last few years. For these consumers vague labeling can be a problem.
It's best to start thinking about improving the clarity and scope of your food packaging labels now. The reason for this is because of the constant increase in regulatory and consumer demands for better and more specific labels. News reports or warnings from regulatory agencies are becoming more frequent. And frequently changing the design and look of your food retail packaging can negatively impact your brand. You do not want repeated and sudden design changes and modifications of your food packaging. By going above and beyond the necessary regulatory requirements you can start designing food labels which are consistent with your brand for longer periods of time. Additionally, being aware of changing consumer tastes and dietary trends can help you meet the needs of those consumers before they start demanding improved food labeling information.
Improved food labeling shouldn't be limited to your food packages. Improving food labeling can go well beyond the package itself. If you're employing retail displays or custom displays it's important for the food labeling design to be consistent between the different channels. When a customer approaches a point of sale display or any kind of custom display the information regarding allergens or other type of dietary objectives should be clearly visible on the display. Color schemes, font types and sizes should follow some sort of pattern. When a customer reads the information on a display and compares that information on the package there should be no confusion or mismatch of not only design but also of information.
Designing food packaging labels should not be difficult but companies tend not to want to spend money if they don't absolutely have to. However, thinking long term is key to understanding and accepting the fact that consumer dietary trends will only become more discerning and regulatory bodies will demand stricter labeling practices. Keeping up and getting ahead of these trends will help you design packaging and branding that will be more consistent and well thought out. Additionally, don't forget about digital channels such as ecommerce. Expanding health information and being more transparent on your website will also be favourable to your brand and image. Just don't forget to keep your message clear simple.

Monday – I woke up at half six as Luke was back in the factory this week so we didn't need the early wakeup call which was lovely. I got up and made sure Luke had everything before I got myself comfortable and started getting ready which my make-up wouldn't go right and neither would my hair. Luke headed to work before I finished getting ready and headed down. No one was awake so I just sat thinking about Christmas presents before I got into my car. I couldn't find my fob to get into the office so I had to go searching for that before I headed to work. Work wasn't too bad today I got most of my stuff done and covered reception before it was home time. I had my tea and cleansed my face before Luke got home and we headed for petrol but my car wouldn't start… Great! We finally got it started so I headed to Tesco with my Mum which after I had filled my car up it wouldn't start again but two boys around my age came over to help which we ended up having to jump start the car which got me to Tesco to get a few bits and home. Once I was back me and Luke got into bed to relax.
Tuesday – I woke up at half six and I didn't have the best sleep so I felt shattered but I think I was awake most of the night as I was panicking about my car. I got up and got ready but I kind of just rushed my make-up and hair today just in case I couldn't get my car to start. The car worked fine though so I headed to work and today it was a little more busy as everyone was in so I had quite a bit of stuff to get done but it passed the day on. I drove home and opened my parcels before I went out with my Uncle to try see what was wrong with my car – I think we've fixed it!! I headed back in and had tea before I had a shower and changed my bag. I caught up on some YouTube videos before Luke got home which he had a shower before his tea and we got into bed as we were both shattered.
Wednesday – I woke up at six and decided to get up and start getting ready as I needed to put my filming lights up before I headed to work. I got up and started getting ready until Luke got up at half six and he also started getting ready. I was in such a good mood today for some reason so I felt ready for today. Once Luke had headed to work I put my filming lights up before I finished getting ready. I headed to work which again my car started this morning woo! Work wasn't too bad today I caught up on my blog stuff and got all my work back up to date. Once I got home I filmed a what's in my bag video before I put everything away and had my tea. I got into some comfy clothes and cleansed my face before Luke was home which we spent the night just chatting which was so lovely.
Thursday - I woke up at half six and felt shattered but I got up and started getting ready before Luke got up and started getting ready for work. Once Luke headed to work I finished getting ready before I sat downstairs and then headed to work. Work wasn't too bad today I got everything sorted which again is such a nice feeling to be back in front kind of but in the afternoon I got my stationery order and started a job which needed doing which lasted me most of the afternoon then it was home time. Once I was home I opened all my parcels and put some Christmas presents away before I fed Rocky and had a shower. I had my tea before I changed my bag and then caught up on YouTube videos before Luke was home then we just watched TV until we both fell asleep.
Friday - I woke up at half six again and started getting ready before Luke got up and he also started getting ready. I loved how my make-up and hair turned out today and I loved my outfit so today was a pretty good start if I'm honest and I was in a good mood so everything was going my way. The drive to work was lovely today too which always puts me in a good mood. Work wasn't too hectic today as I didn't have too much work on but I was doing drinks for the board meeting and the buffet so my day was filled up from that really. Once it was home time I drove home before we went to Iceland as we didn't know what we fancied for tea and then we headed home which I decided to spend the evening just watching YouTube videos which was such a lovely night. Once Luke was home we spent the rest of the night watching TV.
Saturday- I woke up at seven as Luke was heading into town early as he needed to pick up some bits for his family party tonight. We spent the morning just laid in bed once Luke was ready and watched some YouTube videos before he headed into town. I spent the morning chatting with my Nan and having breakfast before I washed my hair and got ready. We headed to Home Bargains which I picked up a few more Christmas presents before we headed to a few charity shops and a local shopping centre as I needed a few bits from there but also treated myself. Once we got back Luke got ready for his party and I got ready before Luke headed out and me, My Mum, Nan and my little brother headed for a meal which was lovely. Once we were back I caught up on blog stuff and some YouTube videos before I got into bed and got cosy for the night to read until I fell asleep.
Sunday- I woke up at half nine and just laid in bed with Luke before I got up and had breakfast. I cleaned the bedroom before doing the packing and ironing for work. I then decided to get a quick shower and get ready as we were going to the cinema to see Dunkirk. We got there and they had got the times wrong so we had to kill two hours before we went back and watched it and I literally loved it! We got back and I got into my pj's before I caught up on blog stuff and changed my bag for work. I uploaded the vlog whilst I had a cup of tea and read for a little while. Once Luke was home we just spent the rest of the evening watching TV - Such a lovely weekend!

Q: Examples of Immutable Types in .Net We know the concept of immutability but need to know few immutable types other than

*

*String

*DateTime

Are there more?

A: A list of immutable types in the framework class library follows below. (Feel free to expand it!)
System.…

*

*All primitive value types: (Note: not all value types are immutable!)

*

*Byte and SByte

*Int16 and UInt16

*Int32 and UInt32

*Int64 and UInt64

*IntPtr

*Single

*Double

*Decimal

*All anonymous types created by the compiler (new { ... } in C#, New With { ... } in VB.NET) (Wrong for two reasons: These types are not in the FCL, and apparently VB.NET types are mutable.)

*All enumeration types (enum, Enum)

*All delegate types. (see this answer. While it might seem that delegates are mutable (since you can do things like obj.PropertyChanged += callback, it's actually the obj.PropertyChanged reference that is mutated to point to a newly constructed delegate instance; the original delegate instance stays unchanged.)

*DateTime, TimeSpan (mentioned in this answer) and DateTimeOffset

*DBNull

*Guid

*Nullable<T>

*String

*The Tuple<…> types introduced with .NET 4 (mentioned in this answer)

*Uri

*Version

*Void
System.Linq.…

*

*Lookup<TKey, TElement>

A: I am not sure if you're looking for publicly immutable types in .NET or types totally immutable at all. Furthermore you want to take care of only the public types in .NET? The deeper problem is defining what forms immutability. Does a class that only has
public readonly int[] Numbers;

makes it immutable? The Numbers itself can't be changed but its contents can be. You get the idea.
Anyway you could inspect yourself programmatically. For deeper nested checks you will need recursion (which I wont do here)
Load all assemblies you wanna check, and do something like (not tested)
var immutables = AppDomain.CurrentDomain
                .GetAssemblies()
                .SelectMany(t => t.GetTypes())
                .Where(t => t
                           .GetProperties(your binding flags depending on your definition)
                           .All(p => !p.CanWrite)
                         && t
                           .GetFields(your binding flags depending on your definition)
                           .All(f => f.IsInitOnly)
                .ToList();

Even this wont be enough for finding immutability of collection types. Some of the immutable collection types (though not a part of default .NET core) can be found here: Immutable Collections

Some notable immutables:

*

*some class types like String, Tuple, anonymous types

*most structs (notable exceptions include most enumerators)

*enums

*delegates

*immutable collection types like
ImmutableArray (prerelease version)
ImmutableDictionary
ImmutableSortedDictionary
ImmutableHashSet
ImmutableList
ImmutableQueue
ImmutableSortedSet
ImmutableStack

A: TimeSpan, or modern type family Tuple. Tuple is immutable cause it implemented to support functional languages (F# f.e.) in .NET.
Of course you can make your own classes and structures mutable or immutable, as you wish. Immutable types (aka value objects) are useful in multithreading programming, functional programming, to clear a code.
To make a class or struct immutable just remove all public/protected/internal setters; and better declare all fields with readonly keyword.

A: Some examples from mscorlib:

*

*All of the primitive types

*enums

*decimal

*(U)IntPtr

*DateTime, DateTimeOffset, TimeSpan

*KeyValuePair<,> - as an opposite, DictionaryEntry is not immutable

*Tuple<...>

*(Multicast)Delegate - similarly to strings, always a new instance is returned when it is changed.

*Guid

*Version
Interestingly, string is actually not really immutable; however, we can treat it as a "practically immutable" type, meaning, that the content of a string instance cannot be changed by the public ways (at least, in a safe context). But it has for example a wstrcpy internal method, which is used by the StringBuilder class to manipulate a string instance.

A: With .NET 5 and new C# 9.0 release pretty much every object can be immutable now (or contain immutable state in properties)
More about it here: https://martinstanik.com/2020/10/09/immutable-data-types-after-net-5-release/

Q: How to determine cause of missing test coverage branches in Jacoco unit test? I'm having some trouble understanding the behaviour of Jacoco coverage testing.  In particular this current case where the report not only shows 50% missing branches but also red colouration of the closing brace of an if else block.
The function we're testing returns the dates of the previous financial quarter and returns the following report:

Our test cases test for the dates of each quarter so we should be covering each eventuality.
Any thoughts and insight would be appreciated.
Thanks


(MissionNewswire) Professors from Salesian vocational training centers in Spain took part in a training course on CNC SINUMERIK, a Siemens automation system for machine tools. The training, which took place from Jan. 8-11, was organized by Don Bosco Tech and Siemens and was held at the Salesian Center of Atocha in Madrid, Spain. As a result of the training, seven Salesian centers have been certified in the use of this technology, and Siemens will provide them with a CNC simulation license to be able to train their students.
The training is the result of a partnership established between Salesian centers in Spain and Siemens. Salesian missionaries are committed to fostering vocational training opportunities to ensure youth have access to the skills needed to find and retain employment. Partnerships help provide teachers with the training they need to become more informed educators while giving students access to the most up-to-date training and equipment available in the field.
Salesian centers in Spain operate close to 50 vocational training centers that employ 1,300 teachers and offer 17,000 students a chance to gain an education. In addition to these centers, the Pinardi Federation of Salesian Social Platforms and the Salesian Association of Technology and Innovation offer vocational training courses. All Salesian vocational centers have the support of companies from a variety of business sectors to give students real-world work experience.


Recently bought a new Romertopf from the 'Topia store. Very happy with the results so far. I baked a wet dough sourdough rye and a drier sourdough loaf and had no issues with dough sticking. Easy to clean up too!
Lover my clay bakers. using parchment paper inside and no cleanup needed.


When it comes to treating termites speed is very important. You don't have time to make mistakes. Your property needs to be inspected quickly by a professional termite inspector. If you are concerned about termites, don't panic. We specialise in termite services! Call us now, we can have one of our highly skilled termite inspectors at your property within 24 hours.
What to do if you find termites!
Please cover and protect the area where you find the termites until our inspector arrives. This will assist our inspector to quickly locate the termite colony. If disturbed, the termites could move to another area of your property.
At your termite inspection any live termites will be inspected and their species identified. It's very important to know what species of termites you have. Your inspector will use this knowledge to quickly locate the termite colony. He will thoroughly inspect your property and then go through the best termite management options to suit your property and your budget. You will receive a written report along with any recommendations for a termite management program if one is required.
Arrangements can be made during your inspection to treat your current termite activity. This also needs to be done before a new termite management system can be installed if one was recommended in your report. Why? To make sure that no termites will be trapped inside your home by the newly installed system.
Our termite inspectors are highly experienced and are some of the best and most respected in the termite industry. They have conducted 1000's of termite inspections in the Brisbane and Gold Coast areas. They also undertake pre-purchase pest inspections so have added knowledge of construction and building methods.
Our inspectors use all the latest approved methods for termite treatments. All treatments are safe for your family and pets as well as the environment. Our inspectors also arrive armed with the latest in termite detecting equipment and are happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Our termite inspectors are all fully licensed, have professional indemnity and public liability insurance for your added protection. All termite inspections, reports, treatments and management systems, are undertaken according to Australian Standards.
To have your property checked for termites by one of our highly trained termite inspectors, please call or complete our online booking form and we will arrange your termite inspection at a time that suits you best.
The CSIRO recommends that all homes should be inspected regularly for termites in no less than 12 monthly intervals. These inspections are a very important part of ongoing termite control especially on the Gold Coast, as it is located in the high risk termite area. Properties that adjoin bushland, park lands and reserves may also have a greater than average termite risk and need to be inspected more often.

FIRST TIME PASS !!! I had such an amazing time at street life met great driving instructors that taught me a lot! If it wasn't for street life under17's I would of had a struggle doing most of the manoeuvres but since learning it was easy! And with such a great instructor helping me through everything I passed first time!!
Thank you Streetlife Drive for helping me pass my driving test. Wouldn't have been able to do it if it wasn't for Lisa. I attended SLYDE before starting my driving lessons on the road I Found it invaluable. I've been passed for just over a month now and I love my new found freedom thank you for all your help !
FIRST TIME PASS !!! Slyde was an educational and worthwhile experience. It taught me about road safety and the basics about driving before I turned 17. By the time I started driving on the road I was able to excel much faster in the more complicated aspects of driving, and the staff at slyde were very kind and patient. It is a programme well worth attending!
Slyde has been an awesome experience, my driving started there and ever since has improved. Everyone there is really friendly and you can ask anyone any questions. If anyone is out there looking to start driving but not old enough yet, Slyde is definitely the place for you. I would like to say a huge thank you to the whole team especially my two driving instructors as I wouldn't have passed without you.
FIRST TIME PASS !!! ZERO MINOR FAULTS !!!
I attended SLYDE from when it first started in September 2012. I found it a great platform to start on because it taught me the basics of driving and gave me an insight into the safety needed to become a good and safe driver. It is a very unique experience and I would recommend it to any other 15 or 16 year old as they will benefit from it. Thanks Streetlife.
I was so nervous about beginning driving but because I did the under 17s first it really helped me adjust to driving, Marcia was so lovely and just made the whole experience really enjoyable. I passed first time which was lucky because it was just before insurance prices went up!! Street life is a really good company to drive with and the under 17s taught me a lot before getting you on the road which makes driving a much less stressful experience.
Yes getting on really well thanks, no crashes nor knocks or scuffs so really pleased, as always though i'd love a newer car! I do a fair amount of driving now with work so it's really helped me gain independence, I started on the first ever slyde (September 2011 i believe) and continued up until my 17th in April (roughly 8 sessions at Col u) after which i had an additional 18/20 hours then passed my driving test first time, I found the whole slyde experience a great opportunity to get behind the wheel before i was 17, these sessions allowed me to gain an understanding of the controls of the car whilst faced with real life scenarios. After picking up the basics i felt more confident when finally allowed onto the road, staying with the same instructor and car allowed me to progress straight onto test routes and prepare me for my test. Overall a really great set up at slyde, giving younger people an insight into the dangers on the road as well as experience behind the wheel. I would highly recommend !
I attended around 6 sessions and i passed first time. In my opinion everyone who learns to drive should have to go through something like slyde before you get on the road as you get your clutch control and basic driving skills from the 45 minute driving lessons and so when you get on the road you are much safer as a learner and are more prepared for real life driving. I also found the talks very interesting and made me understand how good driving is but also how dangerous it is, it has made me think about what i am doing everytime i get in the car so that i dont end up being the subject of one of them talks! Slyde has soo many benefits and i would recommend it to anyone and it helped me to pass within just over a month of turning 17!
Frankie Nunn SLYDE Was an amazing experience for me. I did it for about 12 months and without it I wouldn't have past as quickly as i did. The driving was fun and every month was interesting and different as we were always working on new things and improving. Then the presentations made me very road worthy and have mad a huge difference to the safety of my driving and the decisions I make. I am so glad i attended SLYDE and with it I passed first time and can drive safely and confidently now.

Review of Hostiles
Hostiles (2017)
The Effects of Death Exlpored
Warning: Spoilers
*Review: Hostiles*
Opening your film with what will be the most intense or disturbing scene in the movie is risky. It can affect the intensity of your climax later and it puts the audience at unrest right from the get go. But that is exactly writer/director Scott Cooper's intention. Hostiles opens with one of the most violent scenes I can recall outside of the war and horror genres. It will make you uneasy and have you wondering, "what exactly have I signed up for?" This story takes place in a violent world; a world where even the best of men are dangerous men with blood on their hands. Cooper wants you to understand that, and to feel that from the start. And he accomplishes this with great precision.
Hostiles follows renowned Army Captain Joseph Baker (Christian Bale) who is assigned the task of transporting a dying Native American Chief (Yellow Hawk played by Wes Studi) to his homeland in Montana where he can die in peace. This detail also includes transporting the Chief's family which includes his son (Adam Beach), daughter, daughter-in-law and grandson. Baker does not want this assignment. Yellow Hawk has been a war prisoner for some time, captured no doubt by Baker himself. The two men have seen each other commit violent acts against each other's soldiers and friends. There is understandable animosity between them and despite Baker's insistence that he does not want this mission, he has little choice in the matter if he wants to retire from the Army with his record unscathed and his pension intact. As his commanding officer, Colonel Briggs (Stephen Lang) tells him, "This will be done. And it will be done by you."
Not long after the Captain, his small team of soldiers and Yellow Hawk's family start their journey, they find Rosalie Quaid (Rosamund Pike), a woman in dire straits after just witnessing the murder of her entire family and the burning of her home at the hands of another Native American tribe. Baker and his men know they must take this woman with them, not just to protect her from further attack and the elements, but to protect her from herself. All of this takes place in the first fifteen minutes of the film. The rest I will leave you to discover on your own.
For a movie that runs nearly a quarter past two hours, it is a wonder how it never drags. Had the film been released more in line with the awards season time frame, editor Tom Cross may well have seen his way to a few ceremonies. As would cinematographer Masanobu Takayanagi, who has made a film so gorgeous that even the close-up shots look amazing. When it comes to the beautiful landscape, this is probably the best-looking Western since Open Range. The score by Max Richter is very subtle, it fits the tone of the film perfectly, never feeling intrusive, but not unnoticed.
Every actor in this film is giving one of their finest performances. I'd go as far as to say this is Christian Bale's best performance since The Machinist, which is saying a lot since he's given so many great performances in between. Rosamund Pike's portrayal of a tortured soul feels authentic and heartbreaking. Wes Studi, Adam Beach, Rory Cochrane, Jonathan Majors, Stephen Lang, Jesse Plemons and Ben Foster all have opportunities to shine in smaller roles. Cochrane in particular shines as a soldier whose life of killing has finally taken its toll mentally and physically.
Hostiles may just come across as depressing to some viewers. It is dark and violent and there is little levity to speak of. There is so much death on screen that at times the movie seems like it is a story about death. And in a way it is. The acts of violence in the film happen quickly, but the repercussions of those acts are dwelt upon. We bear witness to the effects of death in its various forms. As such the film becomes more than just a story about death, but one about our reconciliation with mortality; our understanding of an outcome that is inevitable for us all one way or another.
Scott Cooper has created one of the best films of 2017. A haunting, emotional Western that you will not soon forget. A film that looks this good and that is this emotionally engrossing deserves to be seen on the big screen. And a film this well-made deserves an audience. So get to it. 9/10

Benjamin January Mysteries - Barbara Hambly
Abishag Shaw
Benjamin January
Rose Vitrac January
Yuletide 2019

It was going on three in the morning when Benjamin January, heart in his throat, answered the banging on the jalousies at the front of his house on the Rue Esplanade to find a constable of the New Orleans City Guards he vaguely recognized—Boechter, he thought—as one of Shaw's men barely supporting said near-six-and-a-half feet of dripping wet, bleeding, unconscious Kaintuck scarecrow.
For within_a_dream.
It was going on three in the morning when Benjamin January, heart in his throat, answered the banging on the jalousies at the front of his house on the Rue Esplanade to find a constable of the New Orleans City Guards he vaguely recognized—Boechter, he thought—as one of Shaw's men barely supporting said near-six-and-a-half feet of dripping wet, bleeding, unconscious Kaintuck scarecrow. Rose, who had followed him to the door, gasped and ran for his kit, calling for Gabriel to set some water on to boil. "You're Benjamin January?" Boechter asked, and when he affirmed that he was, "I thought you was a piano player. You're a surgeon?"
"I was six years in the Hôtel Dieu in Paris," January said as he took the smaller man's burden from him.
"Hell, I'll take it, too," the swarthy little Bavarian said. "I was going to send for Barnard," Boechter explained, following Ben and his patient into the dining room, where Zizi-Marie in her nightdress was clearing the table, "but he said to get you before he passed out. Said that if he was gonna bleed to death he'd rather do it natural, the way God intended."
"Why is he wet?" Ben asked, already fearing the answer, and Boechter grimaced.
"Fell in the canal when he got shot."
Yes, that was the answer he had feared. Ben cursed in Arabic and considered his options. "Zizi-Marie, once you get the candles in, you go get dressed, and this man's going to escort you over to your mother's. Tell her I need whatever she's got to keep infection out of a wound." He turned to Boechter and asked, "That is, if you don't mind, sir?"
"Not at all," Boechter said. "Falling in that water seems right unwholesome without a hole in him, and the girl doesn't need to be running about this time of night alone."
Rose came running back with his kit and a stack of Baby Alexander's clean clouts, and immediately started helping Zizi-Marie round up and light every candle in the house as Ben cut Shaw's miserable excuse for a shirt off him and applied one of the clouts and a hell of a lot of pressure to the hole in his side, and waited for Gabriel with the water.
Shaw woke up, which was a bit of a pleasant surprise, considering the last thing he remembered was telling Boechter he was going to come back and haunt him if he took him to Emil Barnard. That he thought he recognized the bit of wall and ceiling he could see from his current vantage point was even better news, as it meant Boechter had listened to him and he was in no danger of being bled to death in the next little bit.
He tried to sit up and immediately regretted every one of his choices that had led him to this moment.
"You have two broken ribs," Benjamin January said, and Shaw turned his head, or rather let it flop to the side, to see him sitting beside the bed. His initial suspicion was correct: he was in Ben's bedroom, the one that in a Creole household served double duty as an office and was therefore considered a public space. Shaw had spent quite a bit of time in this very room, although usually not in the bed. "One of them badly so. I had to do some cutting to remove some fragments that were too close to your lung. You lost a lot of blood. And you're very lucky that's the worst of it. The bone may not heal true; I'm sorry about that."
"Maestro," Shaw said, and then, after pausing to catch his breath, "Sure you did your best." He was also sure he'd take Ben on a bad day over anyone else in the city on a good one, but he couldn't quite say that. He tried again to sit up; this time Ben's big, steady hands caught him and helped him up, rearranging the pillows to support him even as his mouth thinned in disapproval. "Can't stay here."
"Of course you can."
"S'not done."
"You're my patient. You can't be left alone just yet and I've seen where you live—for one thing it's up what I will very generously deem a flight of stairs, and for another--"
"Someone just tried to kill me," he snapped, and regretted his enthusiasm. He'd had worse than this, he knew, but ribs were always a son of a bitch.
"Someone tries to kill you every other week or so," Ben pointed out. He wasn't wrong.
"Not like this," Shaw said grimly. "Not--" He had to pause to catch his breath. "Not on purpose." The shot had come out of nowhere, from a side alley. An assassination attempt. LaBranche had run off after the shooter; Boechter had dragged Shaw out of the canal. When he apprised Ben of this, he looked blank at the mention of LaBranche, which was an ominous sign. "You've got the children in the house." One of whom, Shaw thought of as a godson, even though he had the audacity to be a heretic Protestant so of course the little professor would never be his godson in truth. Mrs. January he didn't bother to mention; that lady could look after herself.
Said lady entered the room then, carrying a fresh pitcher of water. "Well, look who's awake," she said, sounding genuinely pleased to see it.
"He says he needs to leave," Ben told her, and Rose made a curious sound. "He says someone's trying to kill him."
"Well, obviously," Rose agreed. "But if you leave now, Mr. Shaw, and I have no doubt whatsoever you could drag yourself out of here under your own power if you set your mind to it, I must tell you, an infection will do their work for them." She pushed her spectacles up her nose with her free hand, set the pitcher down firmly, and said, "And anyway, Gabriel's making a blancmange."
Oh, well, Shaw thought. If Gabriel was making a blancmange. "This is a school," he pointed out, feeling the futility of it even as the words left his mouth.
"And the girls' parents were all aware that Ben is a surgeon and might need to tend to patients from time to time when they sent them here."
"It isn't proper," he tried.
"I suppose we could put you in the garçonnière with Gabriel," Rose allowed, or maybe 'sniffed' was the better verb for what she did there, "but you'd only fall down the stairs trying to leave in the night and break your neck."
Before he could protest that he would do no such thing, Ben said, "I can't fix a broken neck."
Rose nodded as if that settled that. "Now, just you rest, Lieutenant Shaw, and Selina will be in to read to you in a few minutes." Before he could protest that he didn't need a prison guard, let alone a prison guard who was Selina Bellinger, Rose added, "She is behind in her Latin."
So they meant to put him to sleep, then.
Selina Bellinger's stumbling attempts at Latin did, as predicted, put Shaw to sleep. Not that it mattered that the girl was behind in the language, as he couldn't understand a word of it. He had thought, once or twice, that perhaps he ought to try to learn—not that he would ever admit to it, but it put his back up a bit when Ben and Hannibal Sefton spoke Latin and Greek like their own private code and he was left, like the rest of the ignorant world, with no clue what was going on or what they were going on about, but hell, he struggled enough reading English and trying to speak French. There was no use trying to add dead languages to his problems.
Sometimes he wanted to ask them if they thought they were the only two people in the whole of the state of Louisiana with a bit of classical learning, but as thus far they had proved mostly correct on that score, he kept his damned mouth shut.
When he woke up, there was the blancmange, and some broth, and then he slept again.
When he woke again, it was dark, and the household was quiet. It was as good a time as any to take himself out of here, and to take the target off these good people's backs. The clothes he had been wearing the night before were nowhere to be found, and he was clad only in a nightrail, but his boots were there in the corner so at least he wouldn't be fleeing the house barefoot. He had managed to get himself up and retrieve said boots, and was perched on a chair, in the middle of the laborious process of putting them on, when a scandalized voice exclaimed, "Monsieur Shaw!" and he looked up, guilty more at letting himself be caught than at being caught, to find Zizi-Marie had just come in from, he assumed, allowing herself to be courted by that tailor of hers.
"Mademoiselle Corbier," he managed after what felt like an incredibly lengthy pause. He thought of pointing out that it had to be well past curfew, but for one thing it would be wildly hypocritical of him to start pretending he cared about the curfew on people of color now, and for another it would be wildly foolish of him to think courting youths cared about the curfew any more than fish cared about carriages.
"What do you think you are doing, sir?"
He could no more claim that he had gotten up to use the chamber pot than he could tell her he was sneaking out of her uncle's house in the dead of night, and besides, he definitely would not have needed his boots for the chamber pot. "I don't think there's any need to trouble your uncle about this," he finally said, which he was fully aware was not an answer.
A spark flared in the girl's eye that reminded him she was Olympia Snakebones' daughter as she whirled off toward the Januaries' bedroom, calling, "Uncle Ben! Uncle Ben! Monsieur Shaw is trying to escape!"
He put his hands over his face and stayed that way until he heard Ben come into the room. Shaw looked up at him, unreadable in the dark, and said nothing. He had nothing to say in his own defense; he had said it all earlier and been roundly ignored. Ben said kindly, "Your first mistake was taking the time to put on your boots."
"I wouldn't have gotten far without them."
"You wouldn't have gotten very far without trousers, either."
"That was a problem for later," he allowed. "Where are my clothes?"
There was a delicate sort of pause, and then Ben said, "I believe Rose may have burned them."
Goddammit. "They were perfectly good."
"Uh-huh," Ben said in tones of deepest doubt, and then, as if trying to console him, "I'm sure they were before they were covered in blood." Blood washed out, and he could have sewed up the bullet hole, but there was no use arguing about it now. "Wound feel all right?" Ben asked. Probably he would liked to have checked it, but it had not escaped Shaw's notice that he hadn't lit a candle to come in here. He imagined every candle in the house had been used up the night before, on his behalf.
"It's fine," he said.
Ben looked at him for another long moment, clearly deciding whether to believe him, and then he nodded once and said, "I'll help you back to bed."
"I don't need help," he said irritably. "I can do for myself."
"Just because you can doesn't mean you have to," Ben said, sounding annoyingly reasonable, and he proceeded to confiscate Shaw's boots before helping him back across the room to his sickbed.
"This is false imprisonment," Shaw complained, but he didn't really mean it.
"You'll swear out a complaint as soon as you can walk to the Cabildo to do it, I'm sure," Ben said in the humoring tones of one who knew damned well Shaw was going to do no such thing. It should have been annoying, but somehow was not.
"Any word of LaBranche?" he asked as he settled back against the pillows once more.
"Not that I've heard," Ben said. "Get some rest."
"I've done nothing but rest all day."
"It's the best thing for it right now," Ben said, and left him alone once more. This time, he took his boots with him.
He was more awake the next day, awake enough to notice that Ben was nowhere to be found. "Tell me he's not out there tryin' to find out who shot me," he told Rose as she stood over him and made sure he drank every bit of a foul-tasting tea Olympe Corbier apparently swore would prevent infection. Shaw was privately wondering if he had done something to offend Ben's sister recently, but he was still drinking the tea without objection.
Rose ignored his query and asked, "Did you sleep well last night, Mr. Shaw?" with the pointed look of a woman who knew perfectly well he had tried to sneak out of her house with two busted ribs and a hole in his side.
"Tell me he at least has Sefton with him," he tried, rather than acknowledging her own question. He could have said something about the rather sizable rats she seemed to have in her cellar, from what he'd heard in the night, but he thought it was better if they both just ignored that as thoroughly as everyone was ignoring Shaw's wishes at present.
"I'm sure he does," Rose assured him, "Since Hannibal was supposed to teach my students a Greek lesson an hour ago and I've had to do that myself. Now." She pushed her glasses up her nose again. "I have my marching orders. You are to rest so that you can recover and go back to teaching evildoers the error of their wicked ways."
"She's going to read at me in Latin some more, isn't she?"
"It helps to build her confidence," Rose said primly.
"You know I don't understand a word of it, don't you?"
"Yes, but that has nothing at all to do with Selina's confidence. In fact, it may be of more help to her that way."
Shaw resigned himself to his fate. It seemed he could do nothing more. He had nothing to do but sleep and think all the day, such that when Ben returned home late in the afternoon to inspect his wound, he told him, "I'm going to teach your boys to shoot."
His proposal was, of course, strictly illegal, but neither of them gave that any more consideration than it deserved, which was to say: none.
Benjamin did say, however, "They're a bit young for it."
"Well, you've got to start 'em young, if you want 'em to be any good at it." Shaw considered the general size of the January children, who had spent part of the afternoon playing on the floor under the watchful eye of Zizi-Marie, who had been multitasking mending laundry, babysitting, and being Shaw's jailer, and he conceded, "Maybe not quite that young." They had to get big enough to hold the gun, at least. Maybe he should start them with knives first.
"You should be able to move around a bit more, as long as you're reasonable about it," Ben said.
"Does that mean I can go home?"
"We'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Do I at least get my pants back?"
"I don't know. I'll think about it." Ben sat back and told him, "We'll want to keep a close watch for infection. You fell in the canal and that can't have been good for it." He wasn't wrong. "Do you have any idea who might want to kill you?" Shaw looked at him, exasperated, and he amended that to, "In particular, right about now?"
"I've been tryin' to figure it out, and I can't think of anyone," he admitted. He filled Ben in on the broad strokes of his current cases, both the ones he had suspects in and the ones he was at a loss for. None of them seemed likely to be attempting to kill him in the middle of the night—and to have almost managed it, at that.
"Anyone you put away headed for the gallows soon?" Ben asked, clearly agreeing with Shaw's assessment, which was nice to know. When Shaw shook his head, Ben asked, "What about the men who were with you, Boechter and LaBranche?"
Shaw considered it. "That was a hell of a shot," he said slowly. "Based on where it would have had to come from."
"And in the dark, too," Ben agreed. "I wouldn't have tried it." Shaw would have, and he could see Ben thinking it, too, the amusement drawing creases around his eyes before he said, "You would have made it at twice the distance, I think."
"You're very kind," Shaw said.
"I'm also not wrong." Shaw shrugged, and immediately regretted it. "You'd think you'd never broken a rib before," Ben tsked, "when I know for a fact you have. No one's seen LaBranche since he took off after the shooter night before last, so I don't expect I'll be able to find him to question him, either." He didn't say what they were both thinking: that likely they'd be fishing him out of one of the canals with his face gone from the crawfish any day now. There was nothing for it now but to find who'd done it and give him justice. "As far as I know nobody's taken another shot at Boechter." Which meant it was likely something to do with LaBranche...who had, Shaw remembered, been investigating something to do with slave-stealing.
Shaw leaned back against the pillows and thought about it for a long moment. "Well, now," he said slowly. "That just might make sense." He didn't know the particulars of LaBranche's case. With any luck, there would be some sort of documentation in his desk at the Cabildo, or someone would know who he had been talking to, at least. It wouldn't be Shaw's case, at any rate. He did know some of his own limits.
He wrote out a note for Ben to take to Boechter over at the Cabildo, and sitting upright for that long was enough to put his entire left side into pure agony, so maybe Ben did have a point about how unfit for being left to his own devices he was at the moment. Maybe he could be persuaded to stay here a little longer as he recovered. It would be good for Selina Bellinger's Latin, if nothing else.

Neymar's best friend: Felipe Anderson a focal point of Lazio's resurgence
[dropcap]B[/dropcap]razilian footballing history is interspersed with some of the best players to ever play the beautiful game, with legendary figure Pelé the global pinnacle in many people's eyes.
In the current day, Neymar has been elevated to idol status by those from the famous South American footballing nation, with the Barcelona forward the poster child for the next generation of samba stars.
Ironically, one of Brazil's brightest prospects is Neymar's former club team-mate and best friend – Lazio playmaker Felipe Anderson.
The 21-year-old is lighting up Serie A this term with his shows of skill and predatory goalscoring ability, with the Biancoceleste aiming for Champions League qualification and a return to previous successful times as a result.
Anderson rose through the ranks at Santos at the same time as Neymar was starring for the side, despite being two years his junior, and made his first-team debut for the Vila Belmiro outfit in 2010.
The precise attacker was part of the star-studded Santos squad that lifted the Copa Libertadores the following year, alongside rumbustious Porto pair Danilo and Alex Sandro, the mercurial talent of Ganso and former Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Elano.
Although Anderson played a modest role in the Brazilian side's greatest modern moment in 2011, he featured heavily in the Santos first team the following season and starred alongside Neymar.
With that side ransacked by onlooking suitors, Neymar headed to Barcelona and Anderson was snatched up by Lazio for a fee in the €8 million region.
Last term, in his first campaign in European football, Anderson was not given ample opportunities to play and faced an adjustment process to adapt to the rigours of Italian football and life in Rome.
A total of just over 500 Serie A minutes in 2013-14 and only seven starts was a modest introduction to the European game, while his absence from the Lazio first team at the beginning of this season suggested a continuation of fringe status.
However, since being given more of a chance over the last six months by Stadio Olimpico boss Stefano Pioli, the South American star has come into his own.
After scoring his first goal for Lazio in December in an away win at Parma, Anderson has not looked back and now has eight strikes to his name.
Backed up by six assists and his breathtaking link-up play with Antonio Candreva and Miroslav Klose in the capital city side's attack, Anderson looks like a player destined for greatness.
After representing Brazil at under-17 and 20 level in the past, the attacking midfielder got the opportunity to play for the under-21 team in 2014.
Although he was overlooked in Dunga's most recent senior selection for the Seleção, there is a train of thought that Anderson is ready to represent his nation alongside former team-mate Neymar.
The likes of in-form pairing Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho have been preferred in the national selector's thinking, but if Anderson continues his current breathtaking form it will only be a matter of time before Dunga is forced to include him.
Such is Anderson's calibre and importance to Lazio, the Italian club recently released a statement on social media hitting back at claims that the side were over-reliant on their Brazilian prodigy.
However, recognising his potential to develop further and lead the club back amongst Italian football's elite, Anderson yesterday penned a new contract in the nation's capital to keep him with Pioli's men until 2020.
The Biancoceleste sit in third place in the domestic standings, with their faltering cross-city rivals Roma only a point ahead in second.
As such, Champions League football is the aim for Lazio, who have been buoyed by the incredible exploits of their star player this season.
Although getting to the level of friend Neymar will require Anderson to evolve dramatically further, this Brazilian sensation looks set to be a star for club and country going forward.

Hosting a bridal shower is an exciting thing to do. You get the chance to organize a send-off party for the bride-to-be and bond together with your friends and family members. Aside from planning carefully the theme of the shower, the decorations, games and invitations for the guests, the bridal shower menu is another very important part that you need to put up painstakingly. After all, a great shower menu makes the event more memorable and it brings people closer.
You can serve anything from brunch, lunch, dinner or an afternoon tea when holding a bridal shower. The choice will be made based on your budget, theme, the most convenient time of the day for the guests and the bride's preference in food. Make sure to have enough food for everyone during the bridal shower. Indeed, it's better to have leftovers than to run out of dishes.
In selecting the theme of the shower, you may opt for a super simple one or an elaborate theme such as Hawaiian luau or Mexican-themed shower. If you have a theme for the shower, ensure that the foods you serve will complement it.
– For a color theme, select foods that match the color chosen for the shower. Take for instance; a sunny-colored theme requires foods that are yellow, orange and red.
– Of course, you don't need to match everything to the theme but make sure there are a few dishes that will really stand out.
– For a luau-themed party, include tropical fruits such as papaya and pineapple in the menu. You may also decorate the dishes with bright-colored tropical flowers such as hibiscus.
There are also different types of menus for the shower. When planning to hold a bridal shower, identify first the type of food you want to serve to your family and friends. You can either have finger food or a meal. What's the difference between a finger food and a meal? Well, the answer is pretty self-explanatory but here is a quick rundown of their characteristics.
Finger food-As the name implies this kind of party food can be eaten using the fingers of the hand. Many shower organizers opt for finger foods because they have more choices which are filling and easy to prepare. Finger foods are also easy to eat, you can enjoy it for the entire duration of the party as well. Since these foods are versatile, you can offer guests to eat them with a plate and a fork too. Finger foods don't necessarily mean only those that can be eaten with the fingers. You could also include a cake or salad along with the wide selection of meatballs, sushi, mini quiches, deviled eggs, cheese sticks and vegetable sticks.
Meal-If you want a proper sit-down dinner, there is no other choice but to offer a complete meal with appetizers, main courses, salad and dessert. Set the table with elegant table wares and a magnificent centerpiece. You may serve hors'd oeuvres as the appetizer, steak for the main course, Caesar's salad with rolls and Chocolate-dipped Strawberries for dessert. Of course, include drinks in the menu.
Lasagna or a casserole dish with chicken, salmon, etc.
In creating the shower menu, make sure to consider the food choices of the bride so everyone could enjoy the feast on the table. Never forget to ask the guests if they have any food considerations such as allergy. Nothing is worse than having a banquet of seafood on the dining table only to end having majority of your guests allergic to shrimps, scallops, seaweeds and other food from the bounty of the sea. With these suggestions, you can plan and execute a perfect bridal shower that everyone will remember.

The Israel Patent Office has announces an experimental service called "PCT Direct".
PCT Direct is intended to make the process more efficient and to increase the value of the International Search Report (ISR) and International Preliminary Examination Report (IPER) that the Israel Patent Office produces as a Searching and Examining Authority of the PCT (Patent Convention Treaty).
The Applicant will be able to relate to all issues in the Notice Prior to Examination. The response is, however, not part of the PCT request. It seems that the idea is to file a PCT request as a response to a Notice Prior to Examination, submitting a marked up and clean copy, details of other prior art known to examiner and details of first publication.
If the art cited by the Applicant is of value, half the search fees will be refunded.
The PCT response and interaction will be considered as a response to the prosecution of the priority document if not yet allowed.
Apparently the Israel Patent Office is only the second authority, after the EPO, to offer this exciting new service.
I am confused as to the point and purpose of this development.
I have an aversion to abbreviations. PCT, IPER, ISEA, ISR – at least the Talmudists had the excuse that scribes wrote by hand and parchment was expensive. Nevertheless, WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) uses them, so I suppose we must conform.
The EPO's description of the PCT Direct service may be found here.
More substantively, The PCT application should be filed within 12 months of priority. Israel Applications publish automatically at 18 months, so one wonders what first publication is being considered here.
I think that this initiative is designed for applications that are made special and examined immediately, either due to them being green applications that are environmentally friendly, or due to applicant petitioning based on age, suspected infringement and the like. It is possible that this has ramifications for a PCT application claiming priority from an earlier PCT application.
It also seems that the applicant need not actively file PCT responses in the parent file but can rely on the system doing so automatically.
Not too long ago, the search report of the PCT was considered as something of little value and was often ignored by examiners who examined to grant patents. Then came the Patent Prosecution Highway, and then the Superhighway. I think this further development is designed to demonstrate that the Israel Search and Examining Authority, is willing to grant patents based on their PCT work, as is, apparently, the EPO and to create additional trust in the system. Hopefully this will translate into less duplication and a faster, more efficient, high quality service.
Readers who can briefly summarize what PCT Direct is all are about are cordially invited to do so.
When did you ever get a first action within one year in an Israeli application?

Trainers Weigh In On Series Contenders
Published: January 26, 2011 7:04 pm ET
Trainer Taylor Gower has traveled a long road with pacer Freddy Day Hanover, who is in the $62,600 Clyde Hirt series final at the Meadowlands on Saturday. Gower has trained the four-year-old since owner Sam Demchak purchased the son of Artiscape for $15,000 at the New Jersey Classic Sale as a yearling.
Until recently, Freddy Day Hanover was a work in not-too-much progress. His three-year-old season was two-for-29, with $43,340 in earnings, most of those in off-the-board finishes in the New York Sire Stakes. But this year, things are looking up. Freddy Day Hanover has a win in conditioned company, along with a fourth and fast-closing second in the first two legs of the Hirt series. In his most recent start, he paced the last quarter fastest of all, in :27, at 22-1 odds to finish second to Meirs Hanover.
Gower thinks there's reason for optimism.
"Absolutely," he said. "He surprises me every time he races. I had lost some confidence in him as a three-year-old, but he really looks good as of late. As a two-year-old, he got injured close to the season, so he missed his two-year-old year. We brought him back as a three-year-old and he would make breaks; it was really kind of a headache getting him straightened away. When we finally figured out his issues, he was a step behind everyone else.
"We went through the whole year and it turned out, he just wanted to be a gelding," Gower added, laughing. "Once we gelded him [in early summer 2010], it was almost immediate. He started pacing all the time and not making breaks. The problem was, he was just a step behind by the second or third sire stakes and he just couldn't catch up with the other boys. He came back and he's kind of on an even par with the group he's racing with. Each time, I kind of still hold my breath when he goes behind the gate. When you have a pacer that races really good and then makes a break, you're never sure."
Freddy Day Hanover has a win and three second-place finishes in seven starts at the Meadowlands.
"He's just the easiest horse in the world right now," Gower said. "He doesn't hardly train at all. He goes out and jogs and goes out in the field every day. When he gets to the racetrack, he goes out there and looks really sharp.
"It looks like he's got a super shot this weekend."
Summer Camp, trained by Josh Green and driven by Andy Miller, won his first two legs in the Hirt series and has won six in a row dating to last year and seven of his last eight. Summer Camp, who will start from Post 10 in the final, is owned by Larry Baron and VIP Internet Stables.
Highland Rocks and Sniper Seelster also won Hirt first-round divisions.
Ron Pierce will drive Freddy Day Hanover in the final. He will be Freddy Day Hanover's fourth different driver at the Big M.
"If [Freddy Day Hanover] can sit close to some of the other horses out there and go at them late, it seems like he's got the guts to fight it out with him," Gower said. "It's just been a little tough to fight it out with them. We've been having a little trouble finding a driver for him every week. Jimmy Marohn's done a great job with him and Andy Miller did a good job with him. It's just tough sticking with one guy up at the Meadowlands right now."
Here is the field in post position order: Buckeye In Charge, No Monkeys Allowed, Freddy Day Hanover, Royal Cam-Hall, Diablo Seelster, Sniper Seelster, Highland Rocks, Meirs Hanover, Touch The Rock, and Summer Camp.
St Elmo Hero Looks To Keep Streak Alive In Complex
St Elmo Hero, the one-time claimer who is undefeated in 22 career starts, will start from Post 5 for driver Tim Tetrick and trainer Charles Eustis III in Saturday's $65,000 Complex series final at the Meadowlands.
The five-year-old, who was unraced until last year, won his first two outings in the Complex series. He won last week by two lengths over Windsong Gorgeous in 1:50.1 with a :26.4 last quarter-mile. The previous week he won by 1-1/2 lengths over Windsong Gorgeous in 1:50.3.
St Elmo Hero won races in Illinois, Indiana and Pennsylvania prior to making his last three starts at the Meadowlands. He has earned $165,000 for owner John Barnard.
Here is the field for Saturday's Complex final in post position order: Unicorn Hanover, Born To Rockn Roll, Thunder's Fury, Code Word, St Elmo Hero, McClelland, Urgent Action, Windsong Gorgeous, Southern Allie, and Get It Now.
Older Pacers Meet In Presidential Final
Vlos, who is a nose from being undefeated in four races this year, leads a field of 10 older pacers in Saturday's $127,000 Presidential series final at the Meadowlands. He is coming off a 1-1/4 length win over Western Shore in his Presidential division last week. Driven by Brian Sears for trainer Eric Mollor, he was timed in 1:50.1.
Owned by Nancy Spaziani, the seven-year-old Vlos has finished no worse than second in nine consecutive races and has hit the board in 18 straight starts dating to last August. He has won a total of 16 of 36 races and earned $282,828 in 2010-11.
Last week's other Presidential division was won by Alexie Mattosie – and Bettor Sweet. The two finished in a dead heat for first place. Western Shore and Real Celebration won opening-round divisions.
Here is the Presidential field in post position order: Alexie Mattosie, Golden Receiver, Vlos, Schoolkids, River Shark, Bettor Sweet, Blatantly Good, Handsome Harry, Western Shore, and Real Celebration. River Shark, Handsome Harry, Western Shore, and Real Celebration are an entry.
Miller Entry Favoured In Super Bowl
Trainer Julie Miller's entry of Dolce Ducci and Ellens Isle was established as the 2-1 favourites for Thursday's $58,000 Super Bowl series final at the Meadowlands. Dolce Ducci, to be driven by Miller's husband, Andy, is two-for-two this year. He is coming off a 4-3/4 lengths victory in his division of the series last week. He won in 1:55.4. He won his opening round by 4-1/2 lengths in 1:57.1.
The Andy Miller Stable owns Dolce Ducci. He was purchased for $30,000 at the Tattersalls Mixed Sale last August.
"He showed some talent and he looked good at the sale," Julie Miller said recently. "Andy and I thought he would be a nice complement to our barn. We have no long-range stakes plans with him. As long as he is trotting soundly, we'll keep racing him each week at the Meadowlands."
Ellens Isle, a mare, was beaten by a neck by Zeitgeist last week. She won her opening Super Bowl division by six lengths in 1:55.3. John Campbell will drive in the final. She is owned by Joseph Krizan, Jason Allen and Douglas Allen.
"She is very fast," Miller said. "The only issue is her getting a little over excited when she races. She is the real deal. It is hard for a mare to go with the likes of Buck I St Pat, but I think it is attainable that she steps up. Right now, though, I am just hoping to get through this series."
Zeitgeist, driven by Brian Sears and trained by Henrik Lundell, is 4-1 in the morning line. Lundell co-owns the horse with Peter Barbato. They purchased Zeitgeist for $20,000 at November's Standardbred Mixed Sale.
The horse has won five of six starts for Lundell.
"As long as I've had him, he hasn't let another horse pass him," Lundell said. "He broke once [in a conditioned race on December 3, 2010] when he got a little rough near the end. He's certainly caught the winning habit, yet he hasn't got too hot. He's really nice to drive. He can race from anywhere. He's very versatile and I like that. He seems to be getting better every week. He's the star of my barn right now. It's great to win races at the Meadowlands because that's when people see you."
Zeitgeist will start from post No. 1. The rest of the field in post position order is Fortissimo, Dolce Ducci, Willie Count, Ellens Isle, Doully, Political Muscle, Jeanie Marie, Alcarine, and Monsignor Flan.
