'The Bachelor' recap: Of hometown dates and…
'The Bachelor' recap: Of hometown dates and 'microwaved' love
Colton is down to three women, but one has yet to utter the 'L word'
Get ready for the Fantasy Suite! Colton is down to three women on "The Bachelor."
By Chuck Barney | cbarney@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: February 25, 2019 at 11:18 pm | UPDATED: February 26, 2019 at 10:21 am
Hey, "Bachelor" fans, we're almost to the finish line. It's time for the hometown dates — and all the utter nonsense that entails. …
But first, another shower scene — just in case you forgot what Colton's glistening pecs looked like. … OK, enough of that.
Now, it's on to Fredericksburg, Virginia, home of Caelynn. It's a "super-cute town" and one that apparently has yet to be introduced to Uber because she and Colton are touring the place aboard a horse-drawn carriage. Old school. No app.
Once they arrive at her home, there's immediately an ominous sign: A LOT of people are here for a barbecue. How many? Hard to tell, but maybe more than were at the Last Supper. Not good.
'The Bachelor': Cassie a fake? Walnut Creek pals have her back
Anyway, Caelynn's sister is "skeptical" of this whole thing and her dad wonders: "Why can't you just be friends?" What? Are they actually questioning the fail-proof system of TV dating?
In Fredericksburg, Colton begins a trend of asking the fathers for their permission to take their daughters' hand in matrimony — if things get that far. How adorable. And again, old school — especially in an era of untraditional microwavable relationships. (We'll explain that one later).
For more on what to watch on video and TV follow us on Flipboard.
After Fredericksburg, Colton's road show continues in Birmingham, Alabama, where Hannah wants Colton to turn into a proper Southern Gentleman by taking an etiquette class. Why? Because the ability to walk across a room with a book on your head is a sure sign that you're ready for marriage. (Maybe this is why the South lost the war).
Again, there are way too many people at Hannah's place. Everyone, it seems, wants some camera time. The ladies ask Hannah if she's scared that Colton's a virgin — especially with Fantasy Suite time approaching. (Will he need an instruction manual?).
"No," she says. And later, she delivers one of the best lines we've heard this season:
"I don't want to be a coin toss at the end of this." Pure poetry.
Colton again asks Papa to give his blessing and Pops says "that blows me away a little bit" before adding that he'd be happy to give it if things get that far. Hannah's dad is easy.
Now, it's off to Southern California, where Colton hooks up with Tayshia in Santa Ana. There, she immediately blindfolds him (No, this isn't the Bird Box challenge) and whisks him off to an airport to do a little sky-diving. It's a way for the lovebirds to show they truly trust one another, Tayshia says.
But Colton looks absolutely terrified and can you blame him? He doesn't want to die before having sex.
Have no fear. He and Tayshia take the plunge and, indeed, they survive — apparently without soiling themselves. That's good, because dinner awaits them at Tayshia's house, where only four family members are lurking. (Nice. Much more manageable).
But one of the four is Tayshia's dad, who is in "protective mode," due to the fact that Tayshia has already seen one marriage fail. Papa Bear doesn't want his girl to get hurt again. Compared to the other dads, this dude is a regular Perry mason — fast-balling questions at Colton, who maybe should have taken the Fifth. The basic message? Don't lead my daughter on, or I will bust you up.
When Colton does the ask-for-the-blessing thing, Pops looks at him like he's bonkers.
"I just met you," he says. … Wait! How did someone with such wisdom and logic make it onto this show?!
Later, Dad talks with Tayshia and again expresses skepticism that she can find love on a whirlwind TV show.
"You don't microwave relationships," he says, again coming off way too smart for this show. But Tayshia works him, saying that he has to trust her and that Colton "is a light for me after all the hurt I've had."
Bing! Apparently, dads can be microwaved because Mr. Tayshia immediately relents and tells Colton that he says he's content to say "yes" at this point. … Damn, we had such high hopes for this father!
OK, last but not least is Cassie, our lovely Walnut Creek girl who has relocated to Huntington Beach. So instead of hiking Mount Diablo, they're going surfing, and Colton absolutely sucks at it. Could this be a harbinger of bad vibes? Cassie, after all, is the only remaining woman who has yet to say she's in love with the Bachelor.
"I know how I feel, but I want to be sure," she says.
Cassie hopes that, maybe, connecting with her family will bring more clarity. But her dad has a rather testy exchange with her: "He's still dating three other girls," he grouses, sounding very dad-like. "You don't have to rush into anything … You're not buying a car …" Blah. Blah. Blah.
And in the end, Pops doesn't give Colton his blessing ("That would be premature") and Cassie doesn't utter the "L word."
Poor Colton. He admits that he's more confused than ever.
So does this mean Cassie will be the one getting dumped when everyone (including Chris Harrison!) regroups in Los Angeles? Nope. Cassie gets a rose! And so does Tayshia and Hannah. That means, a heartbroken Caelynn is this week's reject and she can't believe it.
"I saw us at the end," she tells Colton, fighting back tears. "… I feel like an idiot."
Do you smell something burning? Bing. It's another microwaved relationship gone bad.

Wasting Money Appealing Panhandler Court Ruling; APD Tactical Plan Needed
On October 10, 2019, the Albuquerque City Attorney's Office announced that the city is appealing a federal judge's ruling that the "Pedestrian Safety Ordinance" designed to eliminate or restrict panhandling on the streets of Albuquerque is unconstitutional. The language of the ordinance prohibits anyone from standing inside travel lanes, along interstate ramps on medians and prohibits "any physical altercation or exchange" between "pedestrians and occupants of vehicles in traffic lanes." In other words it is also a prohibition not only against the individual panhandlers but prevents drivers of vehicles in traffic from giving anything to panhandler's.
https://www.abqjournal.com/1376899/city-to-appeal-ruling-on-panhandling-law.htmlBACKGROUND
The "Pedestrian Safety Ordinance" was enacted by the City Council in November of 2017 despite repeated warnings that the ordinance was a violation of constitutional rights. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a federal lawsuit that sought a declaratory ruling from the federal court that the ordinance was unconstitutional, that the ordinance violates the plaintiffs' rights to freedom of speech under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, as well as Article II, Section 17 of the Constitution of the State of New Mexico. The city council ignoring legal advice made minor amendments to the ordinance.
In 2018, the ACLU sued the city and at the time of filing of the lawsuit, the ACLU of New Mexico staff attorney María Martínez Sánchez said in a news release:
"This [ordinance] is just another heavy-handed attempt by the city to criminalize homelessness and push poor people out of sight and out of mind. … People have a constitutional right to stand in public places and solicit donations, regardless of whether they're looking for their next meal or raising money for little league uniforms".
U.S. District Judge Robert Brack granted the ACLU's motion for summary judgment in July of this year. Judge Brack ruled that the enacted "Pedestrian Safety Ordinance" was "an unconstitutional restriction on free speech because it is not narrowly tailored to meet the City's interest in reducing pedestrian-vehicle conflicts."
Upon hearing the city's intent to appeal the ruling, ACLU-NM senior staff attorney María Martínez Sánchez said the ACLU welcome the appeal and, in a statement, issued said:
"The District court correctly recognized that the law was an unconstitutional infringement of free speech rights and struck it down."
The City Hall has contracted outside council to handle the appeal and not the City Attorney's Office. The decision to appeal was not made by the city council, but was made by City Council Services who instructed the outside council to proceed with the appeal.
CITY COUNCIL REACTION TO APPEAL
Albuquerque City Councilor Trudy Jones, the sponsor of the "Pedestrian Safety Ordinance" had this to say in support of the city appealing the case:
"I believe the citizens – the residents of Albuquerque – would really like to see something happen here, and we're trying to do it in the best and, obviously, legal way."
Republican Albuquerque City Councilor Don Harris, who is also a private attorney, had this to say about the appeal:
"I can understand how the court got there, but it was an incorrect ruling and it needs to be corrected. … I think the average person with common sense understands the medians are not meant for interacting with traffic."
Democrat City Councilor Pat Davis said he would not take a position on the merits of the appeal but expressed the opinion the city has other law enforcement options to combat panhandling.
Mayor Tim Keller has not announced his position on the appeal.
COMMENTARY AND ANLAYSIS
City Attorney's Office employs upwards of 33 attorneys yet City Hall felt the need to contract outside council to handle the appeal. It a very sad commentary that the City Attorney's office does not have experienced attorneys and the know-how and the understanding how to appeal and defend a city ordinance. The city attorney's office no doubt was involved with the review and drafting of the ordinance and they should be more than capable of handling the appeal for the city.
There is no doubt that "panhandling" is a problem on the streets of Albuquerque with drivers often becoming distracted, annoyed and angry when panhandlers become way too aggressive. Notwithstanding, based on settled case law on similar ordinances, it is more likely than not that the city's appeal of the court ruling will be denied with the federal court of appeals again finding that it goes way too far and is unconstitutional.
The truth is the "Pedestrian Safety Ordinance" probably is not even needed. After the federal district court ruled the ordinance unconstitutional, the city began to make other efforts to solve the problem. Albuquerque Police Department (APD) has begun approaching panhandlers when they see them jaywalk or violate other existing ordinances and laws. APD cannot arrest anyone for a jaywalking offense alone, but they can cite panhandler's resulting in a fine or appearance in court.
When the "Pedestrian Safety Ordinance" was first enacted, APD was still suffering from a severe shortage of police officers and still suffers from a severe crime wave. During the last year, APD has added 117 sworn police to the force and APD now employs 980 sworn police. APD has also initiated bike patrols in a few areas of town to promote "community based" policing. APD should now be able to develope a "Panhandler Welfare Check Tactical Plan" and increase patrols of all the major intersections and freeway entrance ramps that can be easily identified where panhandlers are known to frequent.
Existing laws governing trespassing, camping on public property and prohibitions on using traffic street medians need to be enforced with a police patrol presence and law enforcement contact to reduce panhandling and offer social services available. A tactical plan needs to include a form of "welfare checks on panhandlers" based on calls for service to APD to begin identifying the panhandlers and determine if the panhandler needs help or in real distress where social services can be offered such as shelter. Welfare checks to determine identity, addresses and perhaps do background checks on outstanding warrants can be done by officers in plain cloths and accompanied by a social worker with an offer of transportation to the city's homeless shelter.
Until a measured law enforcement response respecting constitutional rights is taken, the panhandling will only continue to frustrate and anger the driving public.

Leishman in contention in FedEx Cup playoff
4th Sep 2017 9:38 AM
AUSTRALIAN Marc Leishman will have to hold off some formidable opponents if he is to win the Dell Technologies Championship in Boston.
Leishman's round of 65 on a wet day at the TPC Boston course put him on top of the leaderboard alongside US PGA champion Justin Thomas who fired a 63.
The 24-year-old world number seven recorded 12 threes, a record for a round in the FedEx Cup playoffs.
The pair is on 12-under going into the final round one ahead of Englishman Paul Casey, and a further shot clear of world No.2 Jordan Spieth.
A win for Leishman right in the hunt for the FedEx Cup and its $US10 million bonus that goes to the winner of the season-long points race after the fourth and final playoffs event, the 30-man Tour Championship.
Fellow Australian Jason Day improved only slightly with a 70 to be tied 44th at one over.

"Surfboard at White Sands" by Keith Ramsdell.
A surfer since he was 5 years old, photographer Keith Ramsdell has always lived and worked in close proximity to the water — with his board and camera never far from him in Amagansett.
He attempts to capture his sensory experience of the beach, seizing on isolated subjects such as the granular surface of the sand, the undulations of the surf, a gnarled piece of driftwood, or the seemingly endless stretch of a dock.
His long-exposure, black-and-white seascape washes will be on view at The White Room Gallery in Bridgehampton — his first major show — alongside the work of Jim Gemake, and Bengt Hokanson and Trefny Dix, starting Friday, November 30, in "Multi is The Media."
"Working in black and white allows Keith to detach himself from the chaotic reality of color, and enables a broader interpretation of the environment, offering up a space that can be filled by the viewer's imagination," an artist statement says, adding, "He relies on the essential aspects of minimalism — line, shape and texture — to form grayscale images that are affecting in their simplicity. His work represents natural elements and manmade structures in congruence, reducing these parts of the landscape to their purest form. Each image conveys an almost surreal sense of stillness and balance that cannot be disturbed."
Gemake, a self-taught artist who lives in Water Mill, creates his multi-media work from the "discarded object," he said. By assembling them into something new or different, there is a sense of salvation, he said, bringing them new life and new meaning through construction, destruction and reconstruction.
"Being a mixed media artist, I primarily depend on the found or discarded object to achieve the elements of color, shape and texture that are so important in my work," Gemake said in his artist statement. "While my work is about change, I also try to bring the element of concealment and withholding to my pieces, leaving room for the imagination."
As the unit Hokanson Dix Glass, artists Hokanson and Dix are known for their distinctive blown glass forms and mixed media sculptures influenced by contemporary Italian and Swedish glasswork, urban graffiti, world textiles, as well as forms and color patterns from nature.
"Our interest in glass as a medium stems from the visual purity of glass and its ability to both illuminate and define a form," according to an artists' statement. "These two dynamic interactions have always inspired us and made glass an exciting material for our explorations of color, light and form. These elements of glass — its clarity, its fluid qualities, its ability to capture color, pattern and texture — are all at play in each of our pieces.
"In much of our work, we are attempting to make, or capture, a moment in time when the glass, energized by its state of balance, or unbalance, its color, pattern, and form, expresses movement," they said.
The show will open with a reception on Saturday, December 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Bridgehampton gallery, located at 2415 Main Street, and will remain on view through December 30. For more information, call (631) 237-1481 or visit thewhiteroom.gallery.

Beware the Growing Cryptocurrency Mining Malware Threat
Insights Security Tips and Resources
Last Modified: Friday, 26 April 2019
Published: Tuesday, 07 August 2018
A new IT security threat is infecting computers across the globe, and it could be wreaking havoc on your organisation's devices as you read this post. This malware threat uses a computer's processing power to mine cryptocurrency, without the knowledge or consent of the owner.
Unauthorised cryptocurrency mining–or cryptojacking, as it is commonly called, is spreading like wildfire. This is not surprising, given how simple it is for cryptojacking scripts to infiltrate a computer. Hackers can initiate it using one of two methods:
Phishing – embedding a malicious link in a legitimate sounding email for the user to click, and unknowingly install the cryptomining application.
In-browser cryptojacking – injecting a JavaScript on a website or ad networks, which then auto-executes upon loading on a victim's browser.
The lure of cryptojacking
If ransomware was the top threat to IT security in 2017, the major threat in 2018 looks like it will be cryptocurrency mining. Already, McAfee Labs has accounted for 2.9 million samples of coin miner malware as of the first quarter of 2018. Even with the decreasing value of some cryptocurrencies, cryptojacking remains popular among cyber criminals because it's easy money and doesn't demand significant technical skills.
Moreover, cryptocurrency mining presents a less risky and more profitable alternative to ransomware. Hackers can't force 100 percent of ransomware victims to pay up, but with cryptojacking, they can be sure that all computers running cryptomining scripts are generating digital currencies for them. In addition, there is far less chance of being discovered and identified as the perpetrator, because the code runs furtively in the background. Furthermore, it can run for a long time, because it can only be detected by certain cyber security solutions.
Why should you be worried?
One major difference of cyptojacking is that it doesn't do any noticeable or immediate damage to the host computer. At least not right away. Nor does it access or steal the stored data. In fact, cryptocurrency mining–the type that requests consent from users beforehand, is being advocated by some websites as an alternative to ad-based revenue and paid subscriptions. If you think about it, users do have the choice to support their often-visited media or game sites by contributing a portion of their unused computing power for cryptomining, in exchange for the free content they get.
In theory, it sounds like a fair enough deal, right? In practice though, cryptomining becomes a legitimate concern when it turns into illegal activity; and there's no shortage of reports detailing current cryptojacking activities. So, what harm does it actually do?
As soon as cryptomining scripts get down to work, they use up a lot of CPU resources. For individual users, this could significantly slow down the computer, and for some malware variants, may even cause devices to crash. The issues are duplicated in multiple computers within the network. This is why organisations which fall victim to cryptojacking face much larger problems, such as decreased productivity, increased complaints on computer performance directed to the IT team, and increased wear and tear of the machines themselves over time.
Furthermore, cryptojacking victims must also deal with a hefty electricity bill, because cryptocurrency mining uses up a good deal of computing power, which, in turn, drives up energy consumption.
How to detect and prevent cryptojacking
Unless you're using a cyber security solution that can automatically identify and eliminate coin miners, it is difficult to determine whether a device is already being cryptomined. A common telltale sign is an unusually high CPU usage, which could be indicated by slow systems, frequent overheating or cooling fan failures. If tech people are alert, they should recognise that a spike in complaints of this nature suggests the system has been compromised by cryptojacking.
If there are no indications of cryptomining within your network, then it's best to put up safeguards as soon as possible. There are several ways to protect yourself and your organisation:
Install AV solutions and ad blockers. Trusted IT security tools do a good job of detecting, eliminating, and even preventing a range of malware threats, including cryptocurrency mining scripts.
Ensure updating of software and security patches. The good news is that software companies are also constantly on the lookout for these threats. Keeping security patches up-to-date guarantees that you can block off the threats that have been identified by the developers themselves.
Increase employee awareness. Training on cybersecurity should now include information on cryptocurrency mining and how it can enter a network. Heightened awareness is particularly important for employees, since cryptojacking can be perpetrated by clicking on malicious links, or even frequent internet browsing.
Cryptocurrencies may no longer be enjoying the peak values of the past, but they remain a popular medium of exchange among online traders. Unfortunately, the continued rise of cryptomining means that more people will also fall victim to cryptojacking. Don't be a victim. Invest in a reliable cyber security solution today.

What is a JUUL - Is Juuling Bad for You?
We know the JUUL is probably bad for you. We just don't know how bad.
Remember when you were a teenager and you'd lurk in shadowy alleyways or a friend's basement to sneak an occasional cigarette, safe from the prying eyes of adults? Well, thanks to the rise of the e-cigarette, those days are over. With vapes, people can catch a smoke anytime, anywhere — even in class. And that's especially true with the JUUL, an e-cigarette popular among high school and college students that has parents, teachers, and the government incredibly concerned.
In recent news, JUUL Labs — which boasts more than 70 percent of the U.S. e-cig market — has announced plans to pull some of its fruity flavored products from shelves and end its social media promotions, according to the New York Times.
The announcement comes amid mounting pressure from the FDA, which has been cracking down on vaping devices aimed at young consumers. In a September report, commissioner Scott Gottlieb vowed to crack down on the "epidemic" of teen vaping and penalize retailers who sell e-cigarettes to minors. "While we remain committed to advancing policies that promote the potential of e-cigarettes to help adult smokers move away from combustible cigarettes, that work can't come at the expense of kids," Gottlieb said. "We cannot allow a whole new generation to become addicted to nicotine."
The press release also cited the JUUL specifically, adding that earlier this year, the FDA issued more than 60 warning letters and fines to retailers that sold JUUL brand products to minors. What's more, in October, the FDA seized more than 1,000 documents from JUUL Labs' headquarters pertaining, in part, to the company's sales and marketing practices.
But what exactly is the JUUL, and what are the health risks associated with vaping in general? Here's what we know.
The JUUL is a compact, USB-shaped vaping device. In most respects, it isn't much different from most other e-cigarettes, says cardiologist Holly Middlekauff, M.D., professor of medicine and physiology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
"The liquid is pretty much the same. It has solvents, nicotine, and flavorings," Middlekauff told MensHealth.com. The solvents help deliver the nicotine and flavors in the form of tiny particles into the lungs.
Unlike other e-cigarettes, however, the JUUL is compact and rechargeable; plus, it comes with an internal temperature-regulating mechanism that prevents it from overheating or even exploding (which has occurred with other types of vapes).
The JUUL has generated something of a cult following on social media: at the time of this writing, there are more than 82,000 posts under the #JUUL hashtag on Instagram. But as trendy as it is, the device still contains nicotine and is a major health concern, say medical experts.
Why are people freaking out about the JUUL?
On its website, JUUL says that the device is intended for people 21 and up. But parents and educators are reporting that kids are using the devices in the classroom.
One 16-year-old high school student from California recently told CNN that students get away with puffing Juuls in class, dipping into their backpacks for a quick hit when the teacher's head is turned and then tucking the tiny device away before they turn back.
"A parent may not recognize it as anything other than a flash drive."
JUULs also plug right into a computer flash drive port to charge and heat, so many people may not realize it's a vaping device. One school district has banned flash drives to simplify matters and reduce confusion, according to a Fox News report.
"They don't look like cigarettes. They're a cool electronic device. And in fact, a parent may not recognize it as anything other than a flash drive," Middlekauff says.
In a statement to MensHealth.com, a spokesperson for JUUL Labs, the maker of the JUUL device, said, "We strongly condemn the use of our product by minors, and it is in fact illegal to sell our product to minors. No minor should be in possession of a JUUL product. Our goal is to further reduce the number of minors who possess or use tobacco products, including vapor products, and to find ways to keep young people from ever trying these products."
The JUUL also comes in a wide range of flavors such as mango, fruit medley, and creme brulee. In a 2017 letter to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer criticized the company for promoting "flavors that are attractive to young people."
A spokesperson for JUUL Labs denied that the brand tries to appeal to young consumers. "Flavors are an important factor in getting adult smokers to switch. We are focused on meeting the preferences and needs of adult smokers interested in finding an alternative to cigarettes," the spokesperson told MensHealth.com.
Does the JUUL come with health risks?
The short answer: we don't know for sure yet. Researchers have lingering questions about the long-term effects that using e-cigarettes has on your general health. According to a study from Johns Hopkins, researchers found that the vapors from a variety of e-devices contain potentially toxic levels of metals, including lead; however, the study did not include JUULs.
Additionally, an in-depth review of more than 800 studies on e-cigarettes (not including JUUL) published by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine in January determined that most e-cigarette products contain and emit a variety of potentially toxic substances, such as aldehydes and metals.
"I'd strongly advise that you do not pick up JUULs, because they are not harmless."
According to the JUUL website, one JUUL pod is equivalent to about one pack of cigarettes or 200 puffs — more than what's in the typical e-cigarette, says Catherine Shoff, M.D., a specialist in pulmonary medicine at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pa.
"It's pretty concerning," Shoff told MensHealth.com.
Long-term use of the JUUL may also have lasting effects on heart health. "As a cardiologist, I'm worried about someone who uses nicotine for a long time. Nicotine increases adrenaline levels. Sustained adrenaline levels increase the risk for a heart attack," Middlekauff says.
Is the JUUL safer than traditional cigarettes?
If you do not smoke tobacco cigarettes, you should probably stay away from JUULs and other e-cigarettes, says Middlekauff. "I'd strongly advise that you do not pick up e-cigarettes, including JUULs, because they are not harmless," she says.
But if you are already a tobacco smoker, switching to a JUUL is probably safer than smoking a traditional cigarette, she adds. There is evidence to suggest that substituting e-cigarettes for conventional cigarettes reduces users' exposure to toxicants and carcinogens present in conventional cigarettes, but more research is needed to actually prove that this is true.
Shoff says she is also concerned that the JUUL could potentially serve as a gateway drug to traditional tobacco cigarettes, though more research is needed to support that as well.
"For a first-time nicotine user, JUULs are a slippery slope," she says.

Laquon Treadwell, former first-round NFL Draft pick, hopes patience pays off with Jaguars
John Reid
The Jaguars' desperation for an offensive playmaker magnified on Monday when wide receiver/kick returner Jamal Agnew was placed on season-ending injured reserve with a severe hip injury.
Though veteran wide receiver Laquon Treadwell lacks elite speed, he has been patiently waiting on an opportunity for more snaps.
Now, he may finally warrant getting an extended look with seven games remaining in the season.
''I've been waiting on my name to be called,'' said Treadwell, the former 2016 first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings. ''This is my third team in six years, and I've seen a lot and done a lot. However, I can make my presence felt that what's I'm trying to help this team with.''
A week ago against the Indianapolis Colts, Treadwell made his presence felt not as a pass catcher but by blocking. On Agnew's 66-yard touchdown run, Treadwell blocked Colts linebacker Darius Leonard nearly eight yards downfield. Treadwell ended up making one catch for 18 yards.
Identity Crisis:Jaguars' offense lacks solutions in loss to 49ers
Jaguars Report Card:Just an aw-FFFul performance by Jaguars in all phases
Jaguars Roundtable:Can the offense make a significant turnaround at this point of season?
After five games with the Jaguars, Treadwell has caught only two of seven targets for 29 yards. But with more opportunities, Treadwell believes he would produce more as a target for rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who has not thrown a touchdown pass after three consecutive games.
In Sunday's 31-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers caught one of three targets for 11 yards. Since wide receiver DJ Chark was lost for the season with a fractured ankle during Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals, the receivers have to get separation and hold onto passes.
No receiver had more than 52 yards receiving against the 49ers and last week against the Colts tight end Dan Arnold was the team's leading receiver with five catches for 67 yards. Arnold did not have a catch Sunday or was targeted for the entire game.
''Last week my task was to block, and the week before that, '' Treadwell said. ''Having more experience has helped and any time you get a chance to do something you love to do is good. I'm just trying put the best foot forward and be the best version of myself.''
Fighting back from college injury
A Chicago native, Treadwell was a speedster until he suffered a horrific injury as a sophomore for Ole Miss in 2014. Crossing the end zone, he was dragged down from behind and suffered a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle on the play that required surgery to fix.
Treadwell returned to play his junior season at Ole Miss, but his explosiveness was not what it was before the injury. He still caught 82 passes for 1,153 yards and 11 touchdowns that raised his draft stock to become a first-round pick.
Struggles in Minnesota
Drafted 23rd overall by the Vikings, Treadwell did not meet expectations in four seasons with the franchise. In 53 career games with Minnesota, Treadwell caught just 53 passes for 517 yards and two touchdowns. The Vikings released Treadwell before the start of the 2019 season.
The Atlanta Falcons claimed Treadwell off waivers, but he was released before the end of training last season before they signed him to their practice squad. Treadwell eventually played five games with Atlanta in 2020, catching six passes for 49 yards.
In June, he was signed by the Jaguars but didn't make it through final cuts before he was signed to the practice squad. Last month, the Jaguars elevated Treadwell to the active roster from the practice squad.
Meyer impressed
"Oh man, he has been coming on,'' Meyer said last week. ''First of all, I love the guy. He has a warrior mentality. I know it has not been perfect for him in his career. I asked him to do some things this summer to make the team and he did everything. He is a big physical receiver with great hands, a really good guy. I love him and he is tough, tough, tough. Those are usually great qualities.''
Last Friday during final preparations for the 49ers, Treadwell didn't have any idea if would play. But he spent extra time after practice to work on his routes and catch passes.
''I work extra to stay true to myself,'' Treadwell said. ''You can be the best guy in the world but if it's not your time, you can create doubt. When I was wasn't playing earlier in my career, I used to doubt myself. Now, I understand that a lot of things are out of my control. Now I understand a lot about work and I know I can play and I'm going to show it every day.''

Home Star News Could a Third Party Candidate Ever Win Presidency?
Could a Third Party Candidate Ever Win Presidency?
(ConservativeStar.com) – It's a tale as old as America itself: election time rolls around, and you can't stand the Democratic candidate OR his Republican contender. Maybe it's their attitudes, maybe it's the platforms… either way, you don't feel comfortable voting for either of them, but you still want to cast your vote.
There is another option — third-party candidates. The only problem is that no such person has ever managed to secure the Presidency in the history of the United States. Is it really possible for third-party candidates to win a seat in the Oval Office? Or, is that just a pipe dream?
American talk show host John Ladarola believes the answer is yes, a third-party candidate could win the office — but it certainly wouldn't be easy. He breaks down why our two-party system is so limited and what a third-party winner would have to achieve in this video.
One of the main points Ladarola touches on is Republicans and Democrats are both automatically listed as options on the ballot. Third-party contenders, on the other hand, must obtain thousands of signatures before they even secure a spot. That extra burden can be the difference between success and failure, especially when you're up against someone more well-known.
Third-party candidates also have a tougher time accessing federal funding. According to election laws, contenders must secure at least 5% of the popular vote even to qualify. Even then, money isn't dispersed until the following election cycle — approximately four years later.
All of this adds up to one tough time for candidates who march to the beat of their own drum. But does that mean it isn't worth voting for them? Not necessarily. The more people who step up and vote for someone other than a Democrat or Republican leader, the more likely that candidate is to become viable over time. At the end of the day, you should always vote for the candidate you believe in most.

I finally had the chance last week to try out the 2nd edition of one of my favorite multiplayer wargames, A Game of Thrones, the Board Game, 2nd ed (Fantasy Flight Games), by Christian T. Petersen. I had played the first edition, along with the two expansions, many many times in the past and it was the favorite of two of the groups I played with, but for some reason, even though it's been out for a while now, the new edition never hit the table.
A Game of Thrones: The Board Game, 2nd Ed.
The verdict? Wow, I really should have brought this out earlier. It is still one of the best "short" multiplayer wargame out there, but more on that later. Let me first go over the components and the rules.
As with any Fantasy Flight Games, the quality of the components is great: the cardstock used for the cards and counters is just the right thickness and the map of Westeros is both clear and gorgeous. Unlike some of their other games, all the tokens and cards are actually needed, so while there seems to be less "stuff" than a Twilight Imperium or Arkham Horror, it is actually less overwhelming for a first time player and it takes a little less space to play. My only little nitpick is the marbled plastic used for the various combat units, which look kind of cheap. I would have preferred the wooden pieces of the previous edition. Not a big deal, but just something that caught my eye.
The game is actually fairly simple, borrowing elements of both Dune (for combat) and Diplomacy (simultaneous secret order assignment). Each player takes the role of one of the houses from the first book (Baratheon, Lannister, Stark, Tyrell, Greyjoy, Martell) as they try to be the first to conquer 7 strongholds, and this before the 10th turn.
The map of Westeros is broken down into different territories that will be familiar to fans of the books and tv show. A territory might show different icons, such as barrels (used for supply), crowns (used to gain influence), castles, strongholds (needed to win the game) and ports. Different tracks are also found on the board: a Wilding strength track; the three influence tracks (for the Iron Throne, the Valyrian Steel Blade and the Messenger Raven); a supply track; a victory point track and finally a turn track. On this map the players will move their different units: foot soldiers, knights, boats, and siege towers.
Each player will take their shield (used to hide their order tokens and influence tokens), 5 of their influence tokens, units, combat cards and order token and place units and tokens on the various tracks according to the set up instruction in their shield. You start the game with very few units and will only be able to raise more when the Muster card comes up at the start of a turn (more on that later).
Initial set up. All is quiet in the land.
There are also 4 small decks of cards: the three Westeros decks and the Wilding deck. A turn is broken up into three distinct phase: The Westeros phase, where one card from each of the three Westeros decks will be turned over; the Planning phase, where the players will place their order tokens on territories which hold their units; and the Action phase where the various orders will take place.
Before going into the phases proper, let me explain the importance of the three influence tracks and of the supply track. The three influence tracks indicate the order of each of the houses in three distinct ways: the Iron Throne indicates the turn order and allow the player in first place to hold the Iron Throne token, thus be able to break any non-combat ties; the Valyrian Steel Blade track indicates how ties are broken during combat (the closer to the top of the track, the more likely you'll win ties) as well as give the player who is in first place on this track the Valyrian Steel Blade token, which confers a +1 in one single combat during a turn; and finally the Messenger Raven track, which bestow powerful "starred" orders to those who are high on the track as well as giving the player who is in first position the Messenger Raven token, which allows its wielder to change one order token once they have been revealed. Being high on each of these tracks confer a specific advantage and it's hard to say which is better. It is a rare game where a player is able to be at the top of each track, but it is possible. The supply track is perhaps my favorite innovation of A Game of Thrones, the Board Game since it dictates how many armies the player is allowed to have at any given time. For example, if a House hold territories which have a total of two barrel icons, they can only have three armies in total: one army of three units, and two of two units. It can however have as many 1 unit armies as it wants. It can never move, retreat or muster units if such move would break this limit. This has for effect to keep players from creating massive armies and force them to spread out more. Taking a territory that holds only barrels is now important since it means that your armies will be able to grow, eventually.
A turn starts with the Westeros phase. The top card from each of the three decks is turned over and players follow the instructions in order. The first deck holds Mustering, Supply or Throne of Blades cards. The Supply card simply means that the players count up how many barrel icons they currently have on the map and adjust their position on the Supply track. This might mean that the player has to reduce some of their armies or might give them the opportunity to make bigger armies. Reducing one's army isn't fun as the units go back into your supply. Mustering allows the player to bring new units onto the board, either at castles (1 point worth) or stronghold (2 points worth), as long as the player doesn't break his Supply limits. The Throne of Blades card forces the holder of the Iron Throne token to take a decision between 3 choices, decision which will affect the upcoming turn. The second deck holds Clash of Kings, Game of Thrones and Dark Wings, Dark Words cards. The Clash of Kings card means that the order of the different influence tracks will change as the players will conduct a closed-fist bid for each track using their influence tokens. The Game of Thrones card gives each player one influence token for each Crown icon in the territories they hold. Dark Wings, Dark Words is exactly like the Throne of Blades cards, but this time it's the owner of the Messenger Raven that has to choose. The last deck is the nasty one: it holds 5 different cards which will disallow the play of various order for the turn; a pair of Put to the Sword, which is the same as Throne of Blades, but for the owner of the Valyrian Steel Blade token to choose; and three Wilding Attacks cards, which triggers a Wilding attack. Should a Wilding icon be on a card, the current strength of the Wilding is increased on the Wilding Track. If they attack, the top card of the Wilding deck is revealed and the reward for the player who has put in the most influence is indicated, but only if the players put in enough influence to defeat the strength of the Wildings attack. Should not enough influence be put forward, then the player who put in the least will be strongly penalized, and the other players will also suffer a penalty. Again, any ties are broken by the player who holds the Iron Throne token. Since it is again a blind bid, it's time to negotiate since losing this battle is usually a bad thing for everyone.
The next phase, Planning, is quite simple: the players place one order token per territory in which they have units. In all, the players have 15 order tokens, broken down into 5 types: Raid, March, Defend, Support and Consolidate. Each of these orders have one token that is "starred", which simply means that it is a more powerful version of said order, but is only usable if you're high enough on the Messenger Raven track. Note that if you are too low on the track, then you only have 2 tokens of each kind. Raid allows the player to remove a Raid, Support or Consolidate token, with the starred version being able to remove a Defense token. Should the Raid token be used to remove a Consolidate toke, the player takes an Influence token from the other player. March is the only way to move units or to start a combat, with the starred order giving a bonus to the attack. All units only move one territory, except that land units can use a "sea bridge" ( a series of sea territories that have at least one ship of that House on them) to travel to another territory, and this no matter how far as long as the ends of the bridge touch both territories. Defend tokens add to the strength of a territory should it be attacked, with the starred token giving a bigger bonus. Support tokens allow the units in a territory to help the attack or defense of a territory that is touching it, and this no matter the side. The starred version gives a bonus to the support. This is the only order that can be used multiple times. Consolidate tokens allow the player to gain one influence token (+1 if there is a Crown icon present) or, if the starred version was used, allows for Mustering instead in this territory, using the local castle or the stronghold.
The placement of the order tokens is done in secret, with the token being placed face down, one per territory where the player has units. Players are free to talk/negotiate when placing their tokens, but they are not allowed to show a placed token to another player. Once all tokens have been placed, we move on to the next phase.
The Action phase starts with the players revealing all orders that have been placed, and then with the player who holds the Messenger Raven token changing one order token with an unplayed one. In turn order (from the Iron Throne track), players first resolve their Raid orders, one at a time, until all orders have been removed. Then, again one token per player, in turn order, the March orders are resolved. Any March order which result in units from two different Houses being in the same territory result immediately in a combat. Once all Marches and combat have been resolved, the Consolidate orders that are still on the map are resolved. The turn is then over, with all remaining orders being removed from the map and the Turn token being moved to the next turn.
Combat is actually quite simple to resolve: add up the strength of the respective armies (1 point for footmen or boats; 2 points for knights; 4 points if attacking a castle or stronghold with a siege tower), call for allies if there are any Support token in nearby territories, add any bonus from the Defend or March token. No dice will be rolled, but rather one of the 7 combat cards will be played by each players, and this face down. These cards have a value from 0 to 4 and have special abilities that can change the battle. Some have, instead of an ability, either a sword (allows the removal of an enemy unit if you win the battle) or a tower (prevents the removal of a unit if you lose the battle). This is where even more bluff comes in: which card do you play, knowing that this card will then be unusable to you until you've played all 7 cards. Any ties are broken by the order on the Valyrian Steel Blade track. The play of these cards can change what looked like a defeat into a victory and this is where the real flavor from the books come in, since each of these cards represent a different character.
And that's the game. Seems like a lot of things to remember but in actuality, the game flows beautifully and there's very little to fully remember. A lot of logistical problems will come up for the players, depending what House they are playing. The Lannister and the Greyjoy have a choice to make right away: do they ally, albeit temporarily, or do they try and eliminate each other. The Stark have to decide which side to come down on and when to come down, and so on for the other Houses. Lots of interesting choices, lots of space to make deals with each other and then betray at the right moment.
What has changed since the first edition? A few little things, like adding the siege towers in the basic game and the same for ports. Redesigned map as well as minor changes in the distribution of forces. The two biggest changes may be the addition of Mustering with the starred Consolidate order, which now allows the players to get more troops on the board at any time instead of having to wait for the right card to come up. Also, the slight tweak to the playing of the combat cards: instead of taking back all your cards once you've played your 7th, you now have to leave that last card behind and only take back the first 6 cards you've played, which means most of the time you will not be seeing that card again for the rest of the game.
I do however miss a few things from the previous edition's expansions, mostly having to do with the two extra decks of combat cards as well as the two other maps: one for 6 players (the old game played with 5) and one for 4 players, which actually was quite vicious. The expansions brought tons of extra new rules that players could ignore and these are, for the most part, now integrated fully with the new game. There are, however, two small expansions that are out which serve a similar need, albeit with lots of small spoilers. A Dance with Dragons changes the Houses in the game and replaces the combat cards with new decks and A Feast for Crows, which has cards for a 4 players scenario, which also changes the victory conditions, replacing the taking of strongholds with victory point cards, each bearing a specific objective. Both are a nice, cheap way to get more replayability in a game that already has tons of replay value.
The Supply rules along with the way new units come on the board adds a tension that is not seen enough in small wargames. All this, and it can be played to completion in under 4 hours, and this with new players. Add to this the new mini-expansions, and you got a lot of game for relatively not a lot of money. From what I read, you can play a game with A Feast for Crows in under 2 hours, which is great.
We had 6 players at Ubisoft for this game, with Steph and me being the only two who had played the 1st edition. Nic, Julie, Steph and Benjamin hadn't played, and only Benjamin hadn't read the books or seen the tv show.
The rules were picked-up quickly and we launched into the game. As the Lannisters, I over-extended myself too much trying to scare the Greyjoy away while the Starks were taking their time in the North, trying to see what was developing in the South. A quick pact between the Martells and the Tyrell meant that the Martells pretty much had an easy time in the deep South while the Tyrells decided to take on the Baratheon to pretty much a draw.
After 5 turns, things didn't look good for me as the Greyjoy pretty much chased me out of my territories, while the other Houses fought to a standstill throughout the land. Steph won with 5 strongholds, with the closest second getting only 2.
Fun times were had by all and I'm pretty sure I can count on most players to give it a go again. Can't wait for next time.

My first game ever played of GOT was against….. (drum rolling)…………You!
At "le Valet de coeur" on a week night It must be around 10 years ago. I won because I manage to plead with Chantale (Former "Le Valet" employee and now with DUDE ditr. I think) that I was more miserable than you. She really was in a position of King Making me OR you. Although I like the game, as soon as you are a competent tactical player, and it is not that hard, I always felt that it all came down to convince the others players to let you win. For me DIPLOMACY is way more cutthroat and without all the "pretty" salad dressing of GOT. You're doing only what really matter to the result; negociate, lie, cheat, cajole and bully. It's way better to get rid of "friend" that you don't really like…..héhéhéhéhéhé.
-see you at a next Stack!

WHICH IS BETTER: OWNING THE SOLAR POWER SYSTEM OR HAVING A POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT?
There are many factors that can affect which option is the right fit for you, including the size of your roof, the amount of annual sun exposure, shading, roof condition, annual power consumption, and your tax liability. Our expert consultants will work with you to determine which route of makes the most sense for you. In almost every scenario, either option is better than staying with your traditional utility for electricity.
HOW DO I GET MY SOLAR TAX CREDITS?
When filing your tax returns, you'll simply complete a form to claim your solar tax credits. The federal credit is currently for 30% of your total system cost, and the state credits vary from state to state. If you cannot claim the entire amount of credits in the first year, you can claim the remaining amount in future years. Please consult with your tax adviser on claiming these tax incentives.
In some states, there are even additional incentives for converting to a renewable energy source, on top of available tax credits.
IF I FINANCE MY SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM, IS THERE A PENALTY TO PAY IT OFF EARLY?
There is no penalty if you decide to pay of your solar powered system early. Many customers take their incentives and apply them towards paying off their system. As soon as you do this, your system provides you free power!
I PAY VERY LITTLE, OR NO TAX; DOES GOING SOLAR STILL MAKE SENSE FOR ME?
Even with little to no tax liability, solar energy can still makes a lot of sense for you! Think about it, you still have a monthly bill for electricity, and chances are you've noticed your rate for electricity consistently go up over the years. Not only would you use a clean and renewable energy source you can lock in a fixed rate for power. In most cases, going green saves you a lot of money, even if you can't claim the tax credit. Your system will have a 20+ year warranty, and they are predicted to have a useful life of 10-20 years beyond the warranties.
I AM MOVING SOON, DOES IT MAKE SENSE FOR ME TO GO SOLAR?
Definitely! Since having electricity in your home is not an option, the buyer of your home will be drawn to the fact that they will save money on their electricity costs as soon as them move in. You can simply transfer the solar energy system to the new owner, or many home buyers wrap the cost into their mortgage, possibly eliminating a bill for electricity!
WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM WHEN YOU MOVE?
There are many studies showing that installing solar can be a significant increase in your home's value. We've had the pleasure of assisting many customers when they sell their home.
WHAT IF MY SOLAR PANELS BREAK OR MALFUNCTION?
The good news is your equipment is backed by a long term, 20-25 year manufacturer's warranty! You can rest easy knowing your decision to go solar is safe. One of the main reasons your renewable energy system is so durable, is simply because there are no moving parts.

We've helped hundreds of people from across the globe to find work, staff, interns and more. Here's some of the kind words they have shared with Conservation Careers. Thanks guys!
"Thanks so much for the interview practice! It's such a fantastic service that you offer, with really useful tips. I am recommending it to other people! I'm pleased to say that I got an offer and have accepted it!" Chloe Hardman, UK.
"Conservation Careers has helped me a lot. Thanks to you, I have decided to follow the conservation path and I am currently preparing an exam to join the environmental department at the Government in Spain as a conservation specialist. I am really looking forward to pass the test and join the conservation team!" Marina Pecellin, Germany.
"Thank you for the assistance you've given to advertise our recent internship, Conservation Careers continues to be a great resource for us" Sam Craven – Zoox and Reef-World.
"Thank you for our successful posting on Conservation Careers. We received some great candidates" Charlie Wiseman – Reef World Foundation.
"Your advice is great, especially to emphasize what I achieved during my positions and study – such a "duh"moment! It gives my CV much more value :)" Stefanie Roy, Australia.
"Thank you, again, for all your help the last two years, you have really provided me with some great opportunities and I have no doubt this has helped me get into my current role." Emma Ackerley, UK.
"I'm currently job hunting and Conservation Careers is invaluable to me at the moment – I'm so grateful for such a wonderful resource!" Jo Alexander, UK
"The Wildlife For All Trust has used Conservation Careers repeatedly as it is a great recruitment website with a wide global audience." Jonathan – Wildlife For All.
"Thanks and congratulations on such a great website. I found it extremely useful when writing my CV after uni and getting advice for job applications!" Claire Underhill – UK
"This is wonderful and a very inspiring e-book. Thank you very much for passing on the link to the career toolkit. I intend to make good use of it!" Amanda Stornebrink – South Africa.
"Your comments have been much appreciated. I can see now why I was struggling to get interviews with the CV that I was using before." Will Crowther – UK.
"I came across the Conservation Careers website online while assessing my career possibilities in conservation. I have been working for over 20 years in an IT infrastructure support role and had always been actively engaging in voluntary work but there was still a yearning to do more, I just didn't know how. I became a member of the Conservation Careers website and completed the "boot camp" course which was extremely helpful to get an idea of what type of area I'd like to work in and also got some personal advice by email. Due to this, I have now started a Postgraduate Certificate in Ecological Survey Techniques in Oxford which I'm really excited about. This was the bridge I needed to move from a career in IT to a career in conservation and I know that I'll be working in conservation by next year! Thanks to conservation careers for helping me make the right decision for my life!" Maureen Doyle – Ireland.
"I moved to the UK from Australia upon finishing my Masters at the end of 2015 to pursue my career in conservation. Conservation Careers has been such a beacon of hope and opportunity for not only myself, but my classmates. It's provided an amazing point of reference for the opportunities available out there, and I know many of my peers (myself included) consult it regularly, and have had job successes through it. Thank you for providing this service to early career job seekers like us!" Ruby Finlen – Australia.
"Conservation Careers has undoubtedly been the number one resource in my own job search and it does so within what feels like an inclusive community, which is fantastic, especially when you're job hunting!" Bryn Morgan – England.
"When I saw my dream job come up I knew I couldn't miss my chance! I decided to get the help and advice from Conservation Careers and, guess what, it paid off: I got the job! They really took the time to review my application in detail and provided me with invaluable feedback. Not only the common advice you get to hear everywhere, but a very personal, challenging but encouraging, positive analysis and comments. They made me see the application process differently, as an opportunity more than an obstacle to overcome. The "dummy" interview was, in my opinion, hard and thought-provoking, with questions I never thought could be asked, but which is exactly what you need to prepare yourself. Finally, what really made a difference was the overall confidence it gave me about the value of my competencies and experiences, and the fact I felt able and willing to share my enthusiasm about them! I would recommend anyone who seeks to evolve or define themselves professionally to use their advice, whether in the context of an application or not!" Lise Goudeseune, Brussels.
"Having a practice interview with Conservation Careers really boosted my confidence. I was eased into the interview with some friendly chat, and then asked some challenging and very relevant questions. At the end I was given personalised feedback which was very helpful. The process of talking more about the role and my experience made me feel more confident at the real interview. There's no substitute for real practice when it comes to vocalising answers to difficult questions. Putting the effort into developing good interview technique is well worth it, so that when that golden opportunity comes along, you can give it your absolute best. I'm very happy to say that I got the job!" Chloe Hardman – England.
"This was such a great experience! I've received high quality advice and support! During my application process I felt as if I have my own team supporting me. Following received guidance I have learned much more than I would on my own. Total recommendation." Karolina Kass, Edinburgh.
"I have been extremely happy with the service that Conservation Careers has provided, and I have already managed to acquire one job through using the site". Craig Turley – England.
"Thank you for the great idea you gave me regarding my wildlife photography career, it was exactly the kind of insight into a niche that I was searching for and I will be trying to get it into motion in the coming years". Alex May – England.
"We've had a lot of traffic from your site – thank you Conservation Careers!" Samantha Craven – Zoox – Philippines.
"Conservation Careers has been a great help as I sought to make a career switch into conservation, and I used it extensively in the past few months. It's a fantastic portal for anyone looking to start or further their career in conservation who might need a little help. I've found the career tips very helpful and thanks to Conservation Careers I have also located a post-graduate course that will give me some field experience and the skills I need for the future. It has also been a pleasure contributing articles to the blog, and I am constantly impressed by Nick's dedication and ambition for Conservation Careers! What a boon for potential conservationists! And the best thing? With the support and encouragement of the Conservation Careers community, I have now found an exciting job in conservation!" Karen Sim Clerk – Singapore.
"Conservation Careers has brought me a step closer to achieving my dream of becoming a wildlife journalist. It has given me the chance to learn and share the stories of some truly amazing and inspirational conservationists, benefit from honest and detailed career tips and join a network of supportive, passionate and like-minded individuals from across the world. Thanks to Conservation Careers, I've developed key contacts in the conservation, publishing and voluntary sectors, gained wider exposure for my work and, best of all,begun to recognise myself as a conservationist too". Charlotte Rixon – England.
"Conservation Careers now accounts for about 40% of our referrals, so it's definitely a good thing for us." Chris Merkord – Ornithology Exchange – USA.
"Dear Conservation Careers, I have cancelled my membership because I got full-time work. Yay!! Thank you for being such a great resource for all of us who have the dream and passion to work in conservation :)" Jacki Smith – England.

A Collection of Paintings by Lawren S. Harris at Alan Klinkhoff Gallery
by Charles C. Hill
Lawren Harris paintings at Alan Klinkhoff Gallery
Tom Thomson and the future members of the Group of Seven were the most influential artists working in Canada in the first decades of the twentieth century. Their bold experimentation and engagement with Canada's many landscapes were the tools to foster a uniquely Canadian art that would, in turn, further the development of Canada as an independent nation. Though their lives and art were closely intertwined, individual artists emerged as the creative forces at different moments in the history of the movement.
Tom Thomson first revealed the northern Ontario landscape to his fellow artists but his all too brief career was cut short in 1917. J.E.H. MacDonald became the public spokesperson for the fledgling movement prior to 1920 and in the 1920s A.Y. Jackson, Arthur Lismer and Lawren Harris articulated their shared goals and ideals, both in word and paint. But Lawren Harris played a special role in the history of the movement. He was the catalyst for new directions and, of all the artists, the most experimental. It was Harris who co-financed the Studio Building as a home for the fledgling movement in 1913. It was Harris who first painted in Algoma in 1918 and participated in the first painting trips to the north shore of Lake Superior in 1921 and the Rocky Mountains in 1924. His travels would eventually take him to the Arctic with A.Y. Jackson in 1930. And it was at Harris' home that the Group of Seven was established in the spring of 1920. There are distinct and varying subject matter in Harris' art beginning with his first city canvases painted before the First World War, a theme he would continue to treat up to 1930.
Decorative compositions of snow bound trees preceded his paintings of Algoma and of Lake Superior that were in turn followed by compositions of mountain forms and Arctic peaks and ice. Yet, at the same time, the subjects overlap and there is a logical development from an Impressionist-influenced art to a more geometric treatment of idealized forms and eventually to abstraction. All the themes pre-dating his explorations in abstraction are represented in this remarkable collection that includes five oil sketches whose importance was recognized by Harris to be worked up into major paintings as well as two canvases of exceptional merit.
