What are Fine Art School Portraits?
They're a beautiful revolution, that's what.
And I think they are long overdue.
Fine Art School Portraits are a modern, simple approach to school photos that are growing in popularity. They're different from most school portraits in two big ways: First, they are as simple as can be. Black background. Natural light. One lens, that doesn't zoom in or out, and imitates the view of the human eye. No backgrounds that look like a forest, or the deck of a ship. No autumn-themed prop setups. Definitely no green screens. Nothing to distract from the child.
And second, they don't force each child into the same rigid mold. I won't tell them where to sit, how to sit, where to put their feet and their knees and their hands and how to turn their head and tilt their head and lift their chin and then smile!
That doesn't work well on most children. Most people, really. Children will never be forced to smile, for these portraits. Just look through my gallery of these images, and you'll see several where the kids are not smiling. Those are usually my favorites. Some kids love having their photo made and are used to it. Others are incredibly shy. They won't all fit into one mold, so I'm not going to try to fit them into one. I want to take their portrait. Theirs. No one else's.
Why are these photos important?
Because the children in the photos are important.
I believe every single child is worth the two minutes I will spend kneeling in front of them, asking them a couple of questions from behind my camera, watching for the moment their eyes relax, or light up, and I think - there they are! That's the real them.
I believe it's important to take beautiful, honest portraits of children. Portraits that both the children and their parents are proud of. So children believe that they are beautiful, and know they are worth those two minutes of my full attention.
Other details:
I will provide all the equipment and personnel needed for Picture Day.
I will come to the school before the scheduled Picture Day, to scout and select a location. I mainly need a good natural light source, and a place that can handle all the foot-traffic!
Each family will use an online gallery to view the final images, (2-5 images, in both color and black + white, for each child), and choose the photos they want printed. Families will have a couple weeks to place their orders online, and prints will be delivered to the school, to go home with kids. Digital files are also for sale. I will send a detailed PDF of the ordering process, for the school to give to families beforehand.
All my profit is made through these sales - no fee is due upfront. Don't let the 'Fine Art' title scare you - these are still school portraits and are priced accordingly. I will also donate 10% of my profit to the school!
I will provide the school with the high-resolution digital files, to use for yearbooks, their website, ID badges, etc.
When can we start?!
I am booking for the spring of 2020 now!
If you have more questions, please use the button below to send me a message through the contact page. Whether you are on staff at a school, or you're a parent that would like for your child's school to offer portraits like these soon - please send me a message and let me know that you are interested in this!

Dream Room Goals & How Interior Magazines Shaped My Style
I've lived my entire interiors led life working off inspirational pictures and planning my dream rooms. I have a huge collection of back issues of Livingetc and Elle Decor and a sideboard full of defaced magazines with the pictures cut out after years of creating manual mood boards, prior to the advent of Pinterest. In 2007, we'd pushed our mortgage to the absolute limit (this was the height of interest rates so close to monthly mortgage payment the price of a week for two in Barbados, sort of levels) and bought our dream Victorian semi in Caversham. The house was in fairly good condition but in need of some work.
It had a ridiculously small kitchen on the back for the size of house, as you can see from the floor plan (the breakfast room was entirely separate) and my dream was to knock it into the conservatory and create some huge, glass orangery type scenario with open brick wall and industrial lighting, spurred on by the dream rooms I saw in my magazines. The toilet was colder than holidaying in the Arctic Circle and the utility room (that's the room with no name) had an entire wall of damp and only enough room to open the fridge door half way, plus the biggest spiders seen since the rainforests. Work was required. Unfortunately, these plans were scarpered when it came to light that I had a County Court Judgement from 1996 for a £12.50 debt to The Book Club incurred when I moved house and forgot to tell them. The Bank computer said NO and my dreams of orangery stardom in the pages of a magazine were trampled underfoot. Godammit. We sold the house to two married women who were pregnant with triplets and every time I go back to Caversham and pass the house with the scaffold in front of it, a little part of me grieves for what might have been had I not taken advantage of The Book Club's credit facilities. Sob.
When writing this blog post, I went back to my raft of magazines and it was actually like looking at an old family photo album. I literally used to use the houses that I saw in these pages as templates for my own home - I remembered every single one of them. This was way before Pinterest and any real form of social media. Time flies quickly, but bear in mind that the Apple iPhone is only ten years old this year - ideas for decorating your home back then were very magazine led and influenced. In 2007 I had subscriptions to eight, yes eight, interior magazines. I used to upload pictures of my home to the magazine websites, entering every competition I could. My crowning glory was being voted House Of The Month on the Livingetc website and winning £150 of Rockett St George vouchers. Nowadays the competition would be so fierce I'd have more chance of completing a triathlon or cross channel swimming.
Ah, the memories going through these mags. Both my dining room and sitting room were inspired by the home of Sally Conran from the May 2007 edition. I purchased a Bon Appetite plaque simply to style it the same way that she had. My kitchen inspiration was the home of Mairead Fanning - her IKEA island covered in steel and the white poured resin floor was my absolute dream. This was also where my love for retro and mid century furnishings was sparked. Sheridan Coakley's (founder of SCP) home with it's original Poggenpohl kitchen from the October 2007 edition made me long for a seventies bungalow. I first saw the Togo from Ligne Roset in these very pages and I still scour eBay weekly for this sofa which remains my ultimate dream. And who could forget the White Issue of May 2007 which introduced us to Atlanta Bartlett's calm and serene yet textured neutral decor? These homes were inspirational but also often achievable.
What's also really fascinating going through these ten year old magazines is the fact that lots of what you see is still really relevant. Obviously this isn't true across all spectrums - there's some seriously dodgy wallpapers and some very uncomfortable looking Italian furniture - but some of these homes would still look at home in the pages of the magazine today. I still yearn for gold shelving (albeit mine is very dodgy spray painted IKEA) and I've just hung similar bamboo wallpaper to the one shown in the Texas home of Amy Hovis shown in the June 2007 copy. Without a doubt, kitchens seem to be the one thing that do really date which doesn't help when you are negotiating the minefield of choice nowadays. To me, my navy cupboards painted last year already feel, well, 'last year', although I daren't tell Joe. I'll give it a few months before I break the news to him and get out my paintbrush.
Joe and I, of course, have very different ideas for a dream room. I questioned Joe for this blog post and he came up with the following. His requirements would incorporate a 65" plasma TV (or projector if he could get away with it), huge sound bar with matching speakers, solid pine coffee table with two ledges circa John Lewis 1995, wall to wall carpeting, no cushions or throws and one huge overhead light (dimmer switch free) with no side lighting. The piece de resistance would be a brown DFS leather sofa with electric foot and head rests. He would be happy with just a couple of pieces of art - preferably 1980's Athena style photography, possibly Six Workmen Sitting On A Joist. The other would be Edward Hopper Nighthawks. He drew the line only at Man Holding Baby. And that's why I NEVER allow Joe input into anything decor related.
So how have these magazines shaped my style? Over the years I have lusted after the homes I've seen in their pages. I've incorporated some of the ideas into my spaces and plenty of them have lasted the course. What I have gleaned from my ridiculously huge interior magazine collection is that good design doesn't date. Your style will change, but if you pick pieces that you really, really love then you will always have a space for them in your home.
Last year I created a hashtag called #dreamroomgoals to find out what other people had squirrelled away as their inspiration. It was really fascinating. So many different styles, many more than could ever be put into just one magazine. Which is why social media has been a total game changer when it comes to interiors. Pinterest and Instagram have made available countless sources of inspiration that previously we would not have had access to. We are not restricted to magazine pictures, we have real rooms from all over the World to draw on for decorating inspo. It pushes forward new ideas and individual designs created by people who give barely a thought to what's 'on trend' but who decorate based on how they feel works for them. It's liveable decor.
Last week I relaunched my hashtag, mostly because I wanted to write this blog post and I needed the input of the Instagram community to demonstrate how wide ranging interior design had become and what impact having a zillion photographs to hand at any time had on how we were planning our homes. And people posted in their droves, just confirming to me that I absolutely bloody LOVE Instagram.
So here's my Top 15 and be prepared - no two are the same but every one of them is someone's Dream Room!
So please, keep using #dreamroomgoals. There's nothing more exciting than seeing new design, great ideas and inspirational, often achievable, feeds. Thank you so much, all you lovely people who tagged me in your favourite photographs!

Dealing with requests of patients/attendants not to disclose/record something that is considered social stigma
p. 85
Contemplate seriously before taking a decision on any request of the patient/attendants not to disclose/record something, especially if that information is considered as a social stigma. The first elementary precaution in all such cases is to take such requests in writing and to preserve the same with the patient's medical records. Law permits withholding of information from the patient for therapeutic privilege, but this exception must be exercised in rare cases. [In this case, the neurologist's (OP) defense was that he did not record the diagnosis on the prescription following the request made by the patient's father that it would be mentally disturbing for his whole family to read the diagnosis of cerebral palsy and tremors. The court did not accept this defense and pointed to the duties of doctors as prescribed by the Indian Institute of Public Administration and the Indian Medical Council (Professional conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002, according to which recording diagnosis was mandatory]. , ,
Following the correct procedure and protocol is as important as the actual treatment. This case is an excellent illustration where even though the treatment given by two doctors was the same, one of them was held negligent simply for failing to perform the requsite investigations and arriving at a diagnosis before starting treatment. The court has observed that "although there may not be material difference in treatment given by OPs (neurologist) as well as DMC (the other hospital), before starting the treatment of the patient who was having a very serious problem of cerebral palsy and tremors, some diagnosis should be there. Investigations should also have been there in the form of some tests in the laboratory, but it has not been so done by OPs (neurologist) before starting the treatment."
It is advisable to refer a patient to another consultant or take a second opinion in case the patient is not responding to the treatment for a long time. (In this case, the court observed that when the patient's condition was not improving, even after taking treatment for 3 months, the neurologist (OP) ought to have taken second opinion).
Merely because a medicine/treatment did not act or failed to give the desired results is not negligence.

Doctor's liability to check/ensure that the investigations advised are performed - How far expected by law?
p. 87
Failure of the doctor advising investigations to ensure that the same are performed and to peruse the reports could be construed as negligence. Two basic precautions must be taken. The advice for investigation must always be written in the internal records of the hospital/doctor (hospitalized patients) and in the prescription (OPD patients) also, especially if a separate slip to perform investigations is handed over to the patient/attendants. Next, the doctor advising investigations must ensure that the investigations are actually performed and the reports are shown to the doctor and noted in the medical records. (In this case, the doctor (OP) had advised various investigations including the investigation for malaria to a hospitalized patient. Malaria test could not be performed as the Malaria Lab was closed, but the other reports were shown to the doctor (OP). The court held the doctor (OP) negligent observing that he "did not care for to check even whether malaria test as recommended by him was got conducted or not", and that "while examining the patient at that time or in the morning, this doctor (OP) should have checked whether malaria test has been done, if not done then give directions for the same but no such directions were given". The defense that the doctor (OP) could not be held liable for the failure of the patient's attendants to get the report was obviously rejected). , ,
Perusing the complete medical records of the patient is a healthy and necessary protocol. Failure to do so at times results in grave consequences that could be avoided. (In this case, the court held the doctor (OP) negligent as it was found that in the patient's admission record, "jaundice ++" and "yellow eyes" were written in one of the pages, but no investigation/treatment was given for jaundice).
Blood transfusion, once advised to a hospitalized patient, must be done with utmost urgency as delay could be construed as negligence. (In this case, one of the allegations was that blood was transfused after a long delay as the doctor on duty did not sign the formalities).
All efforts must be taken to facilitate smooth transfer of a patient to another hospital. Arranging a proper ambulance is one such step. (In this case, the patient had very specifically alleged that despite repeated requests, no ambulance was arranged by the hospital and its doctors (OPs), and the same was arranged by the patient's relatives to transfer the patient to another hospital).
Elicit correct and complete history of the patient. Ensure that the patient produces the relevant records. Record specifically if the patient is unable to produce/give any of these. (In this case, the enquiry report of the State Human Rights Commission recorded that the patient and its attendants did not give the accurate history of the patient and no record was produced by them).
Expert opinion is not required in each and every case of medical negligence, especially when the records before the court are unambiguous.
Government hospitals that charge for providing services, even if it is on account of blood transfusion or such other services, can be sued in the Consumer Courts. The fact that cheap treatment is given to patients in government hospitals is simply irrelevant.

Case of misuse of a doctor's letterhead by another doctor - Need to use and store stationery cautiously
p. 90
A doctor must keep his personal stationery safe and secure and ensure that others do not misuse it. (In this case, the doctor (OP) had performed Dilatation & Curretage (D&C) in the clinic of another doctor which she had rented and had also used the letter pad of the owner-doctor. The owner-doctor had to come before the court to clarify that she was not concerned in any act of omission or commission performed by the doctor (OP) as her letter pad was used for prescribing). ,
Contemplation is required in using the appropriate stationery. Doctors working in a hospital can use the stationery of that hospital for all purposes. But doctors renting out a clinic or a consulting room and accepting their own patients must use their own stationery, especially for prescriptions, advising investigations, and so on. Do not write prescriptions, investigations, and such other documentation and medical records on the letter pad/stationery of another doctor. (In this case, the doctor (OP) had rented the clinic of another doctor and had also used the owner-doctor's letter pad for prescribing. The court observed that the doctor (OP) was negligent as she had used the letterhead pad of the owner-doctor in her absence, which she was not authorized to do).
Whenever a patient consults with complications due to improper treatment given by another doctor consulted earlier, and especially if that other doctor happens to be a quack or an unqualified doctor, extra care and caution must be exercised. This fact must be specifically recorded in the patient's medical records. (In this case, the defense of the doctor (OP) was that she had performed D&C "for septic incomplete abortion with doubtful perforation done by a quack," but this was not accepted by the court perhaps because it was not recorded).
Contemplate before performing a procedure whether the hospital/facility is appropriate, especially to meet any exigency or contingency that may arise during the course of the procedure. (In this case, the doctor (OP) had performed D&C in a clinic that remained open for 5 h during the day time and had no provision for admission. The court held the doctor (OP) negligent and expressed surprise that "a septic abortion was done in the clinic though no facility for admission of patient was there"). ,
In case of critical or high-risk patients, it is imperative to act with utmost care and caution. Failure to do so could be construed as negligence. (In this case, the patient who was pregnant suffered uterine perforation during D&C, a rare but accepted complication. Medical texts clearly state that the doctor ought to be very careful in case of pregnant women. The court held that failure of the doctor (OP) to do his "job very carefully, especially in the case of pregnant women" was negligence).
Failure or refusal of the patient to follow medical advice must be duly recorded. (In this case, one of the defenses of the doctor (OP) was that she had advised the patient to remain in the hospital for 20 h under observation, but the patient left the hospital on the same day after 3 h).

Liability of doctors/hospitals providing infrastructure to other doctors
p. 92
Legally, there is a difference between renting out hospital/clinic/consulting room/OT to another doctor and hiring services of another doctor. In the former case, the entity providing the facility/infrastructure has no relationship with the patient, but in the latter case, the primary responsibility of the patient is on the hospital/clinic/consulting room/OT. The problem is that once a hospital/clinic/consulting room or even something like an OT is used by a doctor for treating patients, a presumption of contractual relationship with the patient arises. Law is still not very clear in India about renting of facilities to a doctor and the consequent legal liabilities. The best way to remain legally protected is to have a formal written contract between the hospital/clinic/consulting room/OT and the doctor, and to inform each patient, in writing, the rights, duties, responsibilities, and liabilities of all concerned. (In this case, the defense of the doctor (OP) was that his clinic was merely used by the dental surgeon to fix the dental implant, for which the dental surgeon had brought his own infrastructure and he had no role to play in the same. This defense was rejected by the court. The court observed that it was the doctor (OP) who had issued the prescription slip after tooth extraction, charged fees and gave receipt, and prescribed medicines when the patient was having pain in the implanted tooth. The court, therefore, held that the treatment was provided by the dental surgeon who was hired by the doctor (OP) who could not be absolved of the consequences of failure of dental implant).
In all interventions where complication or failure is anticipated, it is advisable to obtain a written consent of the patient very clearly disclosing the aforesaid risks. (In this case, the doctor (OP) was sued for failure of a dental implant. The court, holding the doctor (OP) negligent, has very aptly observed that "there was no evidence that the respondent/complainant (patient) was told that the chances of success of dental implant were not guaranteed. Had the appellant (doctor-OP) obtained consent regarding possible consequences/complications/failure of implant from the complainant (patient), the position would have been different").
Improper communication between the patient and the doctor is fast emerging as the key reason for medicolegal problems. (In this case, the dental implant done at the clinic of the doctor (OP) failed. It was alleged that the patient kept on reporting his discomfort to the doctor (OP), "but he took the matter lightly and kept on dilly dallying" and when the patient took out an x-ray and showed it to the doctor (OP) he "took it lightly and laughed it off by asking, "Who has put you in such a doubt?").
Taking feedback about the treatment from the patient is a healthy practice. It not only helps the doctor/hospital in reviewing their service, but it can also act as a valuable document in defense. (In this case, one of the defenses of the doctor (OP) was that the patient "after undergoing the treatment had given certificate to the opposite party (doctor) that he was fully satisfied with the treatment").
The patient has all the liberties to pick and choose the doctor/hospital to sue. (In this case, the patient had undergone a dental implant in the clinic of the doctor (OP). The patient did not sue the dental surgeon who had actually performed the procedure, but only the doctor (OP). The doctor (OP) objected to the aforesaid, but it was rejected by the court).

Physical presence of doctors in court as expert witnesses not mandatory - Examination by Court Commissioner, a better option
p. 95
In cases of medical negligence, doctors of the same speciality can be produced in the court as expert witnesses. These doctors need not come to the court and a request can be made to appoint a Court Commissioner (usually another advocate or someone working in the court) who can then examine the expert witnesses in their clinic/hospital. The National Consumer Commission has very clearly observed in this case that doctors who volunteer as expert witnesses must ideally be examined by a Court Commissioner at their place of work; otherwise, the cross-examination "would certainly have disturbed their schedule in the clinics/hospitals, and in the process would have caused inconvenience to a number of patients being treated by them."

Appeals preferred by government hospitals/institutions in trivial cases deplored - Fine of Rs. 5 lakhs imposed
p. 96
Filing of appeals for trivial matters is generally frowned upon by the higher courts, especially if the party preferring the appeal happens to be a government body or government servants (government hospitals and doctors working therein in cases of medical negligence). In this case, the court has very specifically expressed its displeasure as the Cantonment General Hospital and the gynecologist (OPs) working therein preferred an appeal for a paltry sum of Rs. 3200/-.
Spelling mistakes in writing medical records not only by doctors but even by nurses can force the court or the patient to draw adverse inferences. (In this case, the nurse had written a referral letter. The court while discussing this letter has adversely commented, "There are exogenous spelling mistakes of English writing. Thus, such letter appears to be written by an unqualified person like hospital attendant or aya").
Stationery of doctors, such as letterheads and prescription slips, bearing their name/registration number can be misused, and must therefore be kept safely. Only authorized person/s must be permitted to use this stationery, especially when the doctor is not personally present in the clinic/hospital. (In this case, the court has specifically taken note of the fact that the staff nurse of the hospital (OP) had given referral letter to the patient on the letterhead of the doctors (OP)).
Timely referral to appropriate facility, when indicated, is always viewed favorably by courts. But if the referral is for ulterior motives and not in the bonafide interest of the patient, courts draw adverse inference also. (In this case, the patient in labor was referred by the staff nurse of the general hospital (OP) to another hospital purportedly as the patient was at high risk and no gynecologist was available at that point in time. The court found that the patient's BP was recorded normal at the hospital where she delivered baby and the gynecologist (OP) of the general hospital (OP) was busy in her private practice, and therefore held that this referral was deficiency in service).
Referring patients from government hospitals to private nursing homes and hospitals intentionally and without any justifiable reason is deficiency of service.
Doctors of government hospitals need to be absolutely sure whether they are permitted to practice privately or not. (In this case, the gynecologist (OP) who was working at the general hospital (OP) did not attend the patient who was in labor. The patient brought documents before the court to show that the gynecologist (OP) was also practising privately during the relevant period. The court imposed a cost of Rs. 5 lakhs and directed that "the Cantonment Board and authority can recover the costs from the salary of errant doctors, CEO, and staff, as per law"). ,
Tampering of records and documents, even the non-medical ones, can lead the court to draw adverse inference. (In this case, the court has specifically drawn adverse inference from the fact that there was tampering with the hospital's (OP) attendance register).

Cross-pathy practice - Homeopath held negligent for using a "Laser Comb'
p. 98
Any doctor prescribing medicines or using any equipment/technique that is outside the scope of his/her qualification, skill or experience is negligent. (In this case, the homeopath (OP) was held negligent for using a 'Laser Gun' for treating a case of hair fall. The court clearly held that use of the 'Laser Gun' was alien to the practice of homeopathy).

If you love children's books as much as I do, this is a very special day. During the year, it's exciting to see which newly published books receive a lot of chatter. There are so many fabulous publications, choosing a winner in each category must be a difficult task.
The Caldecott and Newbery Medals are two of my favorite awards. I followed these closely during the year as new books and new predictions came out. Of the books I've had the opportunity to read, the ones listed below are those that spoke to me in a special way.
Caldecott Medal
They All Saw A Cat illustrated and written by Brendan Wenzel
Du Iz Tak? illustrated and written by Carson Ellis

Guys, for the advancement of Internet marketers need a lot of wisdom and perseverance. How does this occur? Persistently seeking knowledge, and who has it? This knowledge has experienced marketers who work for years and have a lot of money.
You just have to submit an email to the one experienced marketers. You may find answers to some of your questions. Accept their leadership and will certainly pay off. I know a few good marketers, such as, for example, Todd Gross, he was very successful as a marketer, but also a TV presenter.
How much money do you have? Do you work marketing for free or paying, it is up to you. It is best to combine both. I'm only doing free stuff, and I hope success in promoting my online business. This is one program for a better web traffic.
My dream is to become a successful marketer, if I succeed in this, I hope you will, because it's a dream, and what I strive for. So guys, try out. I think that's not a bad idea, because we all need money. I think it should be more socialize and exchange information. Because it's guys, very important.
It is important that something is done. But always work properly, because if it is wrong then it's not a real job. To work properly is the way to success on the Internet. This work always pays off, you should just have a little luck and perseverance.
My advice is to stick to the rules of the promotion and to acquire new knowledge, because it is necessary to be current and still able to doing business on the Internet. You have to trust in something more, and trust in God because he helps, and marketers.
In this business, same gain and some lose, who will stay, who was brave enough to go on, and who can endure all the trials of time in front of you, because that job is interesting to many people, but also, quite unknown to many. So you need to learn and to make new things.
We must be careful not to make a mistake in the promotion. Promotion should be permanent, everyday, and we need to keep an eye on it, because that's our business. Anyone who wants to do this job, needs to make sure that, because this is important both for us and for our family, for the money we all need. The money from marketing to earn based on knowledge and skills.

April 18, 2016/ Chad Carter With the news that the Super Volcano under Yellowstone is bigger than we thought, the Zika virus is worse than we thought, and the impending Presidency of Donald Trump, we thought there was no better time than now to dive into the doom and gloom and count down the Top Five Ways We Could All Die Tomorrow! #5) Water World!Why should you be scared? Whether or not you believe global warming is man-made, you can't dispute the fact that we are in the middle of a global climate crisis and the idea of a water world is not that far-fetched. So strap on your Kevin Costner Swimsuit and get ready to grow gills because Water World is coming! #4) Mutually Assured DestructionWhy should you be scared? Between North Korea, Pakistan, Iran, and a possible President Trump having access to Nuclear weapons, it's only a matter of time before someone hits the button and we all go boom! #3) A Mega-Asteroid!Why should you be scared? Remember the Dinosaurs? Prior to our run as the king of the jungle, the Dinosaurs ran this place, that was until a giant space rock wiped them all out. Don't think it couldn't happen to us... #2) The SingularityWhy should you be scared? We are going to be the only species that creates the thing that later on kills us all. As soon as 2029, we could created computers that can develop, grow, learn, and build technology on their own. Once that happens, look out for the Killer Robots and kiss your ass "Hasta La Vista, Baby!" #1) YellowstoneWhy should you be scared? It's already thousands of years past it's expiration date, and if you live in the continental U.S. you are in the blast zone. Add to that the fact that it has increased activity every year, one thing is clear, Yellowstone is primed and ready to go at any moment.

3 Ways to Use Tomatos for Acne and Acne Scars
Thanks to our messed-up hormones, clogging makeup or wrong skincare products, many of us end up with closed comedones, skin irritation, pimples and finally full-blown acne and acne scars.
When dealing with angry, inflamed skin, we tend to throw all kinds of actives at it at once, which only angers our skin more, resulting in more irritation and acne. For this reason, it's best to stick to a gentle, protective and calming skincare routine with just occasional exfoliation and other acne treatments.
In fact, it may be a good idea to replace your regular acne treatments such as acids and benzoyl peroxide with natural and gentle alternatives, such as tomatoes.
Tomatoes for Skincare
Tomatoes are loaded with vitamins and antioxidants, out of which the most important one is lycopene. This compound is what gives tomato its vibrant color and what is so incredibly healthy about tomatoes. Lycopene:
- has powerful antioxidant properties, meaning it can protect our skin from being damaged by free radicals,
- can boost the skin's natural protection against sun, protecting us against harmful UVA and UVB rays,
- promotes skin healing and cell regeneration, thereby improving skin texture,
- boosts collagen production, which is our skin's building block.
But that's not all, whole tomatoes can also:
- Gently exfoliate the skin, leading to less clogged pores and closed comedones,
- Reduce the redness caused by acne,
- Improve skin texture,
- Boost skin moisture,
- Fight formed pimples,
- Reduce acne scars.
How to use Tomatoes in Skincare
Now that we've covered the tomato's skin benefits, it's time to actually use one in our skincare routine.
Note: before using tomato on your skin, make sure your face is cleansed and dry.
- Simply cut one ripe tomato in half and rub it all over your face. Leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse with cold water and follow with a basic moisturizer.
- Put one tomato in a blender, add one teaspoon of lemon juice and blend until you get a smooth tomato paste. Apply the paste on your face and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Rinse and moisturize.
- Mash one ripe tomato and mix it with 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt. Apply the mixture to your skin and let it sit for 20 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water and moisturize.


text: Digital News Production Unit Ida Frank/ 0 Comments A new year at UCA, with new opportunities, and my group and I started off this years first unit with a laugh and excitement. - For the second year of University´s first unit, we have been briefed and started development of our Digital News Production. In this unit, we will be required to design our own branded online digital news channel via a website or such as YouTube or Vimeo. This time, I had a thought that I wanted to work in a group with some new people, and realized after teaming up with Josh, Nisserin and Rebecca that I have never actually worked on a unit with Becca and Nisserin before! Which I find to be exciting and I am really looking forward to developing our group dynamics as we go forward with our project. After teaming up and sitting down we immediately started to brainstorm for the assignment, I had done som thinking before we started this unit and suggested that our channel should involve or revolve around students. We all agreed that this was a great starting point. I decided to draw a map of thoughts. To get a hold of all our ideas and suggestions. Josh showed us some great humours news-sketches (Topical Waffle - with Jimmy Fallon ) and it didn't take us long to know that we wanted to go down the lane of a humour news channel. We had so much fun brainstorming and two hours flew by faster than the speed of light before we even realized that everyone in our year had left the base room. - - - During our sit down we made sure to divide the work and spread it out so each and one of us now have "homework" / research to do until next lab workshop. Even tough we have taken on the different roles we are a very open group, agreed to help each other out on set and if we´re stuck on research. We have decided that the writer will be writing a base for the script and we will all sit down and shape the details of it as a group together. Here is a list of the roles we have taken on: Crew/Roles Director & Writer - Rebecca Bennnett Camera & Cinematography - Nisserin Bessioua Sound & Sound design - Ida Frank Presentor & Editor - Joshua Jones We have already decided on a name for our News channel (Details in an own blogpost) as well as we want to create a website for our channel and consept. We have chosen WIX.com as our website platform, and as I got home I started to have a browse at the different templates avalible to see what can possibly suit our theme, channel and aimed audience. On our website we have chosen to have different sub categories that will deal with different aspect of the channel´s information and content. Our homework to next lab workshop will consist of researching the categories we have chosen as "our own", and find relevant news cases that can be linked to our theme and consept or somehow be developed into a relevant news case for our production. - - - //Top image from Google.com //Desk image shot by using iPhone 6 //Screenshot from WIX:com You may also like

- Today the Liturgy presents for our meditation a beautiful page of the Gospel where Jesus continues to be the Friend he has always been.
- Let our feelings be filled with the beauty of this evangelical scene.FIRST READING – Acts 5:27-32; 40-41
- We are invited to look at the first disciples, the 11 who had followed Jesus, had eaten with him, touched and heard him, experienced his friendship and his closeness.
- They begin to experience the persecution for the sake of the Name, because they choose to follow the Lord and obey him.
- Let us enter into the text, and let us try to grasp what Luke wants to convey to us:
- The Apostles were put in jail and, as God by means of his angel frees them, they continue to teach the good news of Jesus, to tell the people what they, the Apostles, had seen and heard.
- When the guards did not find them in the jail they looked for them and found them teaching the people in the Temple. They arrested them without using force, and brought them to the authorities.
- The High Priest reminded them:
- We had forbidden you to speak about this man, and you, not only do this, but you made us responsible for his death.
- Peter and the other Apostles answered him with words that have been repeated by all the martyrs through the centuries: We must obey God rather than men.
- The Apostles remind the authorities again that even if they had put to death Jesus, the God of the fathers has raised him from the dead and glorified him at his right hand.
- All this has happened to offer to his chosen people and to all the peoples repentance and forgiveness.
- Of all these events they say we are together with the Holy Spirit witnesses. God gives his Spirit to everyone who believes. They cannot stop proclaiming with words and deeds the marvels God has done for them and for all.
- Today's reading ends saying that after the authorities had reached the sentence, they called the Apostles that:
- They will be flogged, and are forbidden to speak in the name of Jesus. Afterwards they let them go free.
- They are happy to have been found worthy to suffer dishonor and humiliation for the sake of the Name.
- If we pay close attention to the way Luke describes the trail of the Apostles it is very similar to the trail of Jesus, and also to the trail of all those persecuted for the sake of the Name, the martyrs of all the times:
- Prohibition to speak, to follow Jesus and to invite others to do the same.
- The acknowledgment by the judges, if not verbally but in their mind, that they are condemning innocent men or women, but men/women who are dangerous who are a thread for the establishment and for their power.
- Some kind of torture to frighten them.
- What the persecutors do not know is:
- That the Holy Spirit gives to the witnesses words and wisdom who are not theirs,but come from God, and which are invitations to the persecutors to repent and accept the love God offers them, because God is never tired to forgive no matter how great are our sins.
- And they do not know either that those who are able to confess Jesus, even to the point of suffering torture and even death, is because they have been conquered by the love of Jesus, whom they love more than their lives. This is the reason why they can be happy to suffer for the sake of the Name.
Responsorial Psalm - PS 30:2, 4, 5-6, 11-12, 13
- R. (2a) I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
R. Alleluia.
I will extol you, O LORD, for you drew me clear
and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
O LORD, you brought me up from the netherworld;
you preserved me from among those going down into the pit.
R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
R. Alleluia.
Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones,
and give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger lasts but a moment;
a lifetime, his good will.
At nightfall, weeping enters in,
but with the dawn, rejoicing.
R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
R. Alleluia.
Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me;
O LORD, be my helper.
You changed my mourning into dancing;
O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks.
R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
R. Alleluia.
- The author of this psalm praises God because God has rescued him, has protected him, has saved him
- He says that the goodness of God endures forever.
- In the last stanza he asks God to have compassion on him, to transform his suffering in joy.
- This is so many times our prayer in our weakness, in our limitations.SECOND READING Rev 5: 11-14
- We continue to read from the Book of Revelation, which, as we have already said, is a book of hope
- that speaks to us about Jesus, the Glorified Christ, the Lord of Lords, King of Kings.
- This Christ, who is Jesus of Nazareth himself that the Gospels presented in his earthly life, is now glorified, full of power and majesty.
- He is no longer the young carpenter of Nazareth, vulnerable and limited like all of us.
- He did not have any earthly power because his power is superior to all other powers, but it is found in the lowliness, humiliation and love.Let us submerge ourselves into the scene which the liturgy offers to us today. Many experts in the book of Revelation say that the best way to understand its message is trying to be part of what the scene is representing.
- The scene today shows us the adoration of the Lamb by all the heavenly creatures.
- The image of the lamb, which obviously represents Jesus, reminds us of the lamb the Israelites had to immolate the night of the Passover of YHWH through the land of Egypt liberating his people.
- But there is in the Scripture (Lev. 16) another image of the lamb. Every year the people of Israel on the day of the Atonement separates two goats
- One will be immolate in expiation for the sins of the people.
- On the second one the high priest will put all the sins of the people, and have some one take it to a deserted place where he will be abandoned there without food or drink. Symbolically the sins of the people were taken away thanks to these two goats.
- I think that Jesus is what these two goats symbolized: he immolates himself to the Father for the forgiveness of our sins and he takes on himself our sins and nails them to the cross and destroys them dying for us; and that once and forever.
- In the vision of the glory of the lamb in the book of Revelation, the Risen Jesus, receives the same praise, honor, glory and power as the one seated on the throne, God the Father.
- After the resurrection and the glorification of Jesus of Nazareth, the Church has given to him the same adoration and glory that the Israelites had given to YHWH.
- The liturgy presents to us the third apparition of Jesus to his disciples after the resurrection. Let us follow step by step what the gospel is telling us:
- Peter takes the initiative to go fishing, and other six disciples join him: Thomas, Nathanael, the two brothers James and John and other two disciples whose names are not given.
- They go at night which is the appropriate time for fishing.
- But they do not catch any fish, in the morning they come back tired and probably disappointed, they had lost the night for nothing.
- While they are coming back to the shore, a surprise is awaiting for them, a surprise which will take away their sadness and disappointment.
- Jesus is standing on the shore and asks them if they have caught any fish
- As they say no, he invites them to cast the net to the right side of the boat
- They had experienced something like this during Jesus earthly life
- It is not the time for fishing, but they follow the directions of that man standing on the shore.
- And, what a surprise! They catch a great number of fish. This continues to be true in the Church, when we cast the nets in Jesus' name we succeed. We never succeed when we follow our own plans ignoring the presence of the Lord and of his Spirit. .
- When they climbed out on the shore they find a fire and bread being cooked on it. They have only to put the fish and the breakfast is ready, Jesus has prepared it for them.
- The Gospel says that all of them knew he was Jesus, but did not ask him
- They continue to be the same, they do not dare to ask
- And Jesus also continues to be the same, although he is now glorified: he is the friend as always, the friend who knows the needs of his disciples, his friends. And Jesus continues to be the same through the centuries, he knows my needs, my sadness, my sorrows, my difficulties, my dreams which he helps me to follow, he gives me the surprise to discover through very little and simple things that he is with me. (I have written this section in the first person because I think that it will help us to realize that he has come for each one of us and each one can say he has come for me.)
- The second part of this gospel is between Jesus and Peter. After the meal there is a dialogue between Jesus and Peter.
- Do you love me more than these? Yes, you know…
- Do you love me? Yes you know…
- Do you love me? LORD YOU KNOW EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU.
- These three questions seem to be the opposite of the three denials of Peter.
- But now we see a humble Peter, he is not so sure of himself, of his love, but now he really loves his Lord, because he does not lean on himself but on Jesus who know how much Peter loves him.
- Peter will have the mission to take care of the sheep and the lambs, that is the Church of all times, and the only condition that the Lord requires from him is love, but a love full of tenderness and compassion: tend. Every shepherd knows what to tend means, it means to feed, to protect, to carry on his shoulders the little ones, the sick….
- Afterwards Jesus tells Peter that his death will be similar to the death of Jesus himself, he will be led where he does not want to go. Then Jesus says to Peter: FOLLOW ME.
10. This call is for all of us, the only condition to follow the Lord, is to take care of each other with tenderness.
The good missionary must adjust himself to the disposition of the persons with whom he relates and be all for everybody in order to gain them all.
Never speak ill of the country God will send him; nor tolerate that his brothers or companions speak ill of those poor people that God has entrusted them.
The whole world must be country for the missionary of Christ, because our Divine Redeemer came to redeem all, sending to preach the same Gospel all over the world.(Venerable Maria Antonia Paris, Foundress of the Claretian Missionary Sisters, The Apostolic Missionary 2.8-2.10)
I know that in a single act of mortification one may practice many other virtues, depending on the different intentions one has in performing each act. Thus, for example:
1. One who mortifies his body to check concupiscence performs an act of the virtue of temperance
2. If he does so to set his life in proper order, he performs an act of the virtue of prudence.
3. If he does so to make satisfaction for his past sins, he performs an act of justice.
4. If he does so to overcome difficulties in his spiritual life, he performs an act of fortitude.
5. If he does so to offer sacrifice to God by depriving himself of something pleasant and doing something bitter or repugnant to himself, he performs an act of the virtue of religion. Saint Anthony Mary Claret, Founder of the Claretian Missionary Sisters, Autobiography 414.

About Khristina Helmich
CD(DONA) | B.S. Graphic Design | Owner
THE DESIGN SERVICES:: Wild Acorns Co. is owned and operated by myself, Khristina Helmich. I offer complete design services for commercial clients whether the client is an entrepreneur, small business or corporate. After 7 years as an in-house designer, a marriage and 2 kids later I found my calling within my own business. I am open to in-house positions in the future, but for now I am enjoying expressing myself through my work and helping my clients one-on-one. I also discovered a passion for supporting women in birthing, so I am now also a certified DONA birth doula & birth photographer. My clients are local and around the world. Want to know more? Find me on LinkedIn here.
THE SHOP:: I wanted a space of my own where I could create and share with the world. The shop side of my business is my outlet. I use hand & digital to design the creativity you see on products that are printed with a USA vendor we love that ships the pieces directly to you, our supporters.
THE OFFICE:: My office space is shared with my soul mate, our two tiny humans that we grow locally here in Missouri, and our two kitties. They are not just inspiration – they are collaborators. We are born and raised mid-westerners but our hearts recently brought us to Nevada (and many other places before that). We are adventurers, travelers, creators and God followers.
THAT NAME THOUGH:: It was around the birth of this venture that my then 2 year old son started having this obsession with acorns. People, I kid you not. He would come into the house with pockets full of acorns. He hid piles of them in his toys and under the furniture. I finally found myself looking up the deeper meaning of "acorns" and discovered that they symbolize growth and potential, life, independence and strength – all things that I as a human & mother strive for. Life is a wild ride for us all and I choose to embrace it. So the name was perfect. I hope we all embrace our wild side as we fly and fall through life trying to plant our roots and grow into a mighty oak... legendary even.

It seems that at this time of the year more list come out in blog post than any other time of the year. So I don't want to break the pattern so I have compiled the results from 2010 for the top 5 click on post in my blog and also the bottom 5 as well. You may ask yourself why would I ever post the bottom 5? I wonder if they are really the bottom 10 or just missed by more people.
Why should these posts matter to you? Here are three suggestions:
1. You might have missed them, now you have a chance to read them.
2. You might have liked them and want to read them again.
3. You might want to share them with a friend via email, Twitter, Facebook, etc. (They'll appreciate it and so will I.)
Top 5
5. Did I do that? Did I do that? It is time we start to take responsibility for the results we are getting.
4. Cut the bull, where's your true passion? A leader who is not passionately committed to a cause will not draw much commitment from others
3. Making a living or building a cathedral? Purpose inspires performance and commitment.
2. New Position landmine #2 Relationships.For this landmine, it is usually going to happen when the new children's pastor does not do an accurate job of establishing and identifying key relationships that will happen up and down or side by side in the ministry.
1. New Position landmine #3 The ministry itself. You become blinded with excitement of the new ministry, or the size of it, or the pay of it, new title or areas like that…
The bottom 5
5. Successful people have successful habits. Your everyday choices ultimately determine if you will experience success or just watch others experience success
4. Risk to become better. We need to be creative, take risks, explore new ways to make more stuff happen for the glory of God.
3. Growth through vision. …look at only two even though there are several fundamentals that could help us break through and into the growth we should be part of.
2. Someone who gets it. Jesus may I be counted guilty to be the one who will say "Thanks, and I love you". Just for the record, this is definitely one of those post I feel if people truly caught, it would radically change our lives.

Fishing Line: Week of Nov. 11, 2013
Top Picks
– The "Greatest show in Sacramento" is at the Nimbus Fish Hatchery these days with hundreds of salmon at a time crowding the base of the fish screen, climbing the ladder and filling the holding pond. The parking lot is as crowded as the fish ladder, and parking spots have been hard to find, especially on weekends. Guards are now on duty at night to curtail the vandalism of the fish screens, which have been tampered with to allow salmon to get upstream into Nimbus Basin. The Basin has been crowded as a result, and lots of dark salmon were being caught, mostly by "lining" or "flossing." Steelheading was pretty good again around River Bend Park, Watt Avenue, and Howe Avenue on a mix of halfpounders and the occasional adult. Drift nightcrawlers, swing spinners and small spoons, or dead drift nymphs and egg patterns under indicators. Some salmon were still being caught in the Dredger holes at night.
The upper deep water areas are still producing salmon and stripers, but with little fishing pressure, there are fewer reports or counts. A 57-pound striper was caught and kept by an out-of-state angler near the Rio Vista Bridge. Please help spread the word about releasing these big ones that provide our next generation of fish. The sturgeon are moving into the sloughs, and can also be found at the Power Lines and from the banks at Sherman Island.
•SAN JOAQUIN RIVER side
This coming week should be a good one for stripers with some good minus tides pushing them into the shallows to feed. The Antioch Pier and others in the area have been popular for both stripers and sturgeon.
– Early season Dungeness crab results were stunning, with limits common after short soaks and limited numbers of pots. Lingcod counts were decent and black rockfish counts went through the roof. Huli Cat ran highly successful combo trips for rockfish and crabs. Queen of Hearts focused on consistent limits of rockfish and good quality lingcod.
– A few sturgeon and a whole lot of striped bass was the summary of action for boaters and shore-fishers from Martinez. The best bass fishing was in Carquinez Straits and the best sturgeon fishing was in Suisun Bay and surrounding waters.
•CHETCO RIVER, Ore.
– Low and clear water persists, but the time has come and salmon are crowding into every possible hole in the lower river. Anglers are using bobbers and roe or other baits and catching good numbers of fish, sometimes double digit numbers. WON Field Reporter and guide Andy Martin put his clients onto multiple fish, including a 50-plus pounder that measured 47 1/2 inches. The fish are a mix of bright and dark, and the river will be plugged all the way upstream after the first good rain.
•ELK RIVER, Port Orford, Ore.
In close proximity to the little Sixes River, this one is currently too low to fish with a driftboat. It's clear and at summer level, and the kings can't even access the estuary, according to guide Curtis Manning of River Secrets. "There has been a salmon or two caught pretty much every day," Palmer said, "However, it appears that fish are stacking up outside, awaiting fresh rains to raise the river level."
•ROGUE RIVER, Gold Beach, Ore.
– Salmon fishing has been slow on the Rogue Bay near Gold Beach, although a few silvers are present from the Highway 101 bridge to the mouth of Indian Creek. Fishing upriver also has been slow. Expect steelhead to arrive after the next major rain.
•ROGUE RIVER, Shady Cove, Ore.
– The Upper Rogue continues to produce good numbers of summer steelhead. As of Nov. 9, fish counts are 2,403 summer steelhead, 218 silver salmon, 188 fall king salmon. Due to cold water, anglers are having their best bet catching summer steelhead on plugs like the Yakima MagLip-3.5. Guide Randy Wells of Oregon Fishing Adventure has been putting his clients on fish from Shady Cove to TouVelle. Anglers can fish bait from Cole Rivers Hatchery to Shady Cove; from Shady Cove to Fishers Ferry you can fish plugs and yarn balls, but no bait. The Middle Rogue is also producing good numbers of summer steelhead.
– The first good rain will bring in the salmon and a few steelies, although the steelhead run here usually doesn't get going until January. All of that is rain dependent.
•SIXES RIVER, Port Orford, Ore.
– The beginning of the week had some outstanding days of fishing for Chinook salmon fresh out of the saltwater. Most of the fish being caught were low on the river due to water flows dropping. "Thursday was my first trip down this fun coastal river for the season," said WON Field Reporter and guide Curtis Palmer of River Secrets Guide Service. "Although it rained, it wasn't enough to change the low water condition. Most of the salmon are in deep pools and some of these are very large for such a narrow river. The last two miles of this river are all tidal fluctuated and we found plenty of chrome salmon in this section of river. The river will be in prime condition from top to bottom after the next good rain."
– Both WON Field Reporters and guides Phil DeSautel of Phil's Smiling Salmon Guide Service and Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing said the same thing: flows on the Smith River have remained near 400 cfs, below the 600 cfs needed to allow an opener above Rowdy Creek. Salmon fishing has been slow on the section that is open. Anglers have reported a few fish at the Piling Hole and Sand Hole, but success has been poor. For updated flow information, call the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Low Flow Hotline at (707) 822-3164.
•KLAMATH RIVER, Klamath Glen
– Salmon fishing continued to be slow, and most anglers have switched to steelhead. The water is cooling, and some steelhead were being caught, mostly around Weitchpec and Somes Bar.
•KLAMATH RIVER, Iron Gate
– Steelhead fishing was very good, with anglers backtrolling small plugs and drifting nightcrawlers getting around half a dozen steelies to about 6 pounds, plus a like number of smaller steelhead an outing.
– Steelhead fishing was tough once again in the very low, clear water. Anglers had to use light gear and take a very stealthy approach to get a few bites on small back-trolled plugs, drifted roe, and nymphs under indicators. A few steelies were being hooked at the mouths of tributaries at the lower end of the river around the South Fork.
– The upper end of the lake is a really tough deal right now, just because so many of the dock and tule areas have a foot of water or less. The better choice has been from the mid-lake area down to both of the deeper arms of the lake.
– The best bet has been from just off the Big Island to the Ranch House and down by Skiers Cove for trout. Trout trollers should be toplining or targeting the top 15 feet with a variety of hardware. For bass, the best technique has been shad patterned 1-ounce spoons fished horizontally in the Narrows.
– A good rain is needed to stir things up for bass. Toplining a No. 2 Cop Car Needlefish or white trolling flies have been catching landlocked steelhead to 22 inches in the top 15 feet of water. Please consider releasing them, as they will never be planted here again.
– Trout are feeding on 3-inch shad, so choose your lures accordingly. Some of the best hookups came from the east shore from Canyon Dam to Dorado, close to the shoreline. Ripping small Rapalas off leadcore rigs have popped a few browns over 8 pounds.Another hot spot for trolling has been Rocky Point to the Fox Farm and back.
– DFW continues to plant this lake and recently stocked it with some nice brown trout. Remember this lake is open all year and there is not much pressure here. Try the east side early in the day. With other trout waters closing, this will be a good winter spot.
– Closes Nov. 15.
– Sep's 2-inch orange or watermelon colored grubs and Red Dog lure by Sure Catch with the gold back have all been favorites. The Youth Camp and the Eagle's Nest were popular sites, but the shoreline fishing was slow. Until it closes at the end of the year this will be a good winter time bet.
– Closes Nov. 15.
– Closes Nov. 15.
– From Nov. 16 through the Friday preceding the last Saturday in April, only artificial lures with barbless hooks may be used.
•McCLOUD RIVER
– Closes Nov. 15.
– A little rain will help the fishing. There are numbers of small bass in the bait balls providing good action all day with a 3/8- to 1/2-ounce spoons. Bait has been at 40 to 60 feet so the trout are deeper.
– The lake is at 26-percent capacity. The inlet and dam were producing rainbows for spoon casters and bait soakers.
– Caples Lake Resort and the EID boat ramp are both closed, so no boat launching. Shore fishing should still be good at the dam and spillway.
•CARSON RIVER (East, West)
– Todd Sodaro at Todd's Bait and Tackle at the Creekside Lodge reported that with the cold nights, fishing wasn't good until late morning after the water had warmed up. Anglers fishing after 11 a.m. were picking up limits of 13- to 17-inch rainbows on worms and salmon eggs in the East Carson. The season will close on Nov. 15 on the West Carson and on the East Carson above Hangman's Bridge (first bridge south of Markleeville). A special restricted season will be open on the East Carson from Hangman's Bridge to the Nevada border - zero limit, artificial barbless lures only.
– The lake is at 66-percent capacity. Not much word on any trolling this week - the only functional ramp was at Camp 5. Shore fishermen were doing well at Fairview, Camp 5, Mallard, and Eagle Point with limits coming in an hour on Power Bait. Flyfishermen were hooking double-digit numbers of nice rainbows to 5 pounds stripping nymphs and leeches on an intermediate sinker at Mosquito Slough.
– With the lake at the current low level, shore anglers can walk out to the water's edge and get a lot closer to the dropoff to deep water. Cast a big Krocodile spoon for macks on overcast days or in the evening. If you can trap live minnows out of the lake, the macks love them! Rainbow trout should be hitting bait near the boat ramp.
– Fishing was good at the Caribou Powerhouse this past week according to Mike Hanson at the Caribou Crossroads Resort. He and a friend caught rainbows running 2 1/2 to 3 pounds on bobber/crappie jigs. The season on the Feather River and Powerhouse will close on Nov. 15.
– The lake is at 50-percent capacity. Wiggins Trading Post reported that fishing was still good, though fishing pressure was getting lighter with the cold weather. John Kennedy of Truckee caught a 6 1/2-pound rainbow at Lunker Point on Power Bait. The local streams close on Nov. 15.
– Mountain Hardware and Sports reported that Gold Lake was producing rainbows and browns to 24 inches on Kastmaster spoons fished from the shore near the boat ramp. Salmon Lake and Sardine Lake were still producing small planter rainbows on bait.
– The lake is at 56-percent capacity. Dale Daneman at Dale's Foothill Fishing Service reported that trollers were catching 5 fish per hour on Sep's brown grubs from the top to 20 feet deep. The rainbows were running 11 to 13 inches.
– Alpine County will stock the lake during Thanksgiving week with 1,800 pounds of 1 1/2- to 5-pound rainbows.
– The lake is at 48-percent capacity. The browns should be done spawning and returning to the lake where they're looking for a big meal. Troll a Rapala from the inlet toward the dam. For rainbows, troll a flasher/worm combo at the dam.
•JENKINSON LAKE (Sly Park)
– The lake is at 72-percent capacity. Sly Park Resort reported that shore anglers were picking up some limits of 8- to 14-inch rainbows at the first dam on worm/marshmallows. One shore angler caught a 20-inch plus mack on a nightcrawler. Sly Park Resort said the back ramp was better for launching bigger boats due to the steeper angle of the ramp. Of the two front ramps by the marina, the right ramp is all concrete, but had shallow water on it making, it a good choice for launching smaller boats.
– Chuck self at Chuck's Charter Fishing reported that mack trolling was "off the charts" with limits of 6 to 8 1/2 pounders by 7 a.m. on his last trip. Self was trolling spoons and small stick baits at 160 to 200 feet deep at Crystal Bay Point. Mike Nielsen at Tahoe Topliners Sportfishing reported doing well jigging for 3- to 8 1/2-pound macks at 180 to 220 feet deep at South Shore and picking up some nice rainbows and browns to 4 pounds trolling ThunderStiks and Scatter Raps 20 feet deep over 35 to 40 feet of water from Rubicon to Meeks Bay. John Shearer at Tahoe Sportfishing said his boats were picking up lots of 2- to 7-pound macks off Ski Run and Edgewood trolling dodger/minnows at 150 to 220 feet deep. The macks have pretty much finished spawning and were beginning to feed all over the lake.
– The lake is at 49-percent capacity. The gate to the ramp was closed. Small boaters can still launch at the primitive ramp near the dam.
– The lake is at 22-percent capacity. With the lake at this level, the best bet was the more oxygen-rich water at the inlet of Prosser Creek for rainbows.
– Joe Mendes at Eagle Eye Charters reported that trolling was good along the west side of the lake at Warriors Point for cutthroats to 12 1/2 pounds. His trips were producing up to 24 fish trolling bleeding frog FlatFish at 25 to 60 feet deep. Valarie Taylor at Crosby's Lodge said the fishing was "amazing" with trout to 19 1/2 pounds weighed in this past week. By Sunday when WON called, she had weighed in the 19 1/2, two 18 pounders, a 16 pounder, and several fish in the 11- to 12-pound class - mostly caught by shore anglers.
– No reports available, but try the dam with worms for a few cutthroats.
– No reports were available, but shore anglers should still be able to catch a few rainbows off the dam.
– The lake is at 53-percent capacity. The dam was good for rainbows and a few macks. The rainbows were hitting blood midges for flycasters, and the macks liked white spoons and spinners, according to Mountain Hardware and Sports.
– Mountain Hardware and Sports recommended fishing on the NV side for browns and rainbows with better flows across the border. The flows above the Boca Outlet were really low, and below the outlet somewhat better, but still low. Dark stones and streamers were working for the browns coming off the spawn and ready to eat.
– The lake is at 54-percent capacity. Ken Mathis at Ken's Custom Tackle and Guide Service reported that fishing was slow and few anglers were making the trip to the lake over Pea Vine Ridge Road.
– With very low flows, few anglers fished here this past week. The general stream trout season closes on Nov. 15. This will be the last report until the 2014 opener in late April.
– Salmon have been dying off in big numbers, so it's gotten easier to fish for steelhead both in the Low and High Flow Sections. Riffles around Gridley have been quite good, and some of the fish weigh up to 8 pounds. Fish spinners and small spoons. Fly fishers are getting them on egg-flies combined with a prince nymph or red copper John under an indicator.
– The lake continues to drop, and bass were being taken by drop-shotting Robo-Worms over rock piles, dragging jigs, or spooning next to channels from 15 to 25 feet deep. Look for concentrations of bait using electronics. Hardly anyone is fishing for trout and steelhead, but it should be pretty good with the cooler water. Try in front of the dam on Speedy Shiners and Rapalas trolled fast down at 25 to 35 feet for trout, and kings at 45 to 65 deep.
•SACRAMENTO RIVER, Sacramento
– Bright late fall king salmon were coming upstream, and they are aggressive hard-fighting fish, but it's an up-and-down affair. Either a school is moving through or it's not. Clarksburg had been one of the better spots, but anglers have been getting fish around Sacramento, too. Fishing for striped bass was good in the Deep Water Channel, and a few sturgeon were being caught, too.
•SACRAMENTO RIVER, Red Bluff
– Fishing was very good for late fall king salmon last week but slowed a little when flows dropped to 4,250 cfs late in the week. The fishing for late fall kings should continue to be good until the River closes Dec. 16.
•SACRAMENTO RIVER, Redding
– Salmon spawning has tapered off, and trout fishing slowed a little but still was good down to Battle Creek. Some steelhead were starting to show at the lower end.
•UPPER SACRAMENTO/McCLOUD RIVERS
– The rivers are in their prime time fall season of fishing. The lower part of the Upper Sac below Sims is now attracting some larger fish coming up from the Sacramento River, and some big browns are starting to show at the lower end of the McCloud.
– The river is low, but fly fishers continued to do well. However, almost all the action is on nymphs under indicators, not dries. A few steelhead are starting to show, too.
– Salmon season wound down with one last salmon trip on New El Dorado III which boated 5 salmon to 25 pounds for 15 people. Other fishing action focused on the plentiful rockfish, lingcod and crab along the Marin coast.
– Big lingcod showed in increasing numbers, approaching a ling per rod, and in shallow water where the big females are beginning to move in. Jig and teaser rigs worked best. Rockfish limits came quick and easy. Jumbo crabs were plentiful and the majority of crabs pulled were over 7 inches in size.
– Shore fishers scored good numbers of striped bass. Bullheads were the bait of choice. Boaters making the run to Suisun Bay got into sturgeon on shrimp baits.
– Boats out of Emeryville fished the Farallon Islands for most of the week, making just a couple of runs up along the Marin coast. Fish and crabs were plentiful no matter where the boats went. Some very large lingcod came up, such as a 27 pounder aboard the New Huck Fin and a 23 pounder on the New Seeker.
– Crab limits were easy, once the main concentrations were found and explored. Shore-based folks either cast snares for Dungeness or pulled rockfish, greenling and cabezon out of the rocks.
– Seahawk and Telstar loaded up on rockfish and hauled up plenty of jumbo crabs, which became more plentiful as the week wore on and boaters found where the higher concentrations were holding. Shore fishers snared crabs and cast baits for perch, rockfish, greenling and cabezon.
– Wacky Jacky and Lovely Martha ended the salmon season putting passengers on fish to 31 pounds at the Middle Grounds and Gull Rock. Bass Tub fished the Marin coast for a mixed bag of rockfish and plenty of Dungeness crabs.
– The river was running low and clear with no fishing pressure, according to the Georgetown Ranger Station.
– The lake is at 51-percent capacity. Lots of small spotted bass were hitting worms, jigs and Senkos all over the lake.
– North Shore Resort reported that bass fishing was still good throwing a variety of plastic worms and lizards in the Rock Creek arm.
– The lake is 45 feet from full. Collins Lake Resort received 3,800 rainbow trout for their pen-rearing program on Nov. 7 from the DFW. Trout were hitting for trollers and shore anglers. Shore fishing was best at the boat launch and the dam for rainbows to 4 1/4 pounds. Trollers were working the channel along the west side of the lake with flasher/worm combos and spoons for fish to 3 pounds.
– The lake is at 94-percent capacity. Mike Torres at Skippers Cove Marina reported that trollers were catching a few rainbows, no limits, on flasher/worms and Rapalas all over the lake from the dam to the upper end.
– The lake is at 35-percent capacity. The Foresthill Ranger Station reported that the boat ramp was inaccessible, but shore fishermen were picking up a mix of rainbows and browns on Power Bait and worms. The campgrounds are closed.
– The lake is at 43-percent capacity. Not much traffic here, according to the Georgetown Ranger Station. The campgrounds were closed and the launch ramp was out of the water.
– The lake is at 42-percent capacity. Guide Ron Gandolfi reported that bass fishing was excellent with half-day trips producing 50 to 70 fish on tubes, jigs, and darthead worms in the West Branch, North Fork, and the Slot from 0 to 30 feet deep on steep rocky banks. Gandolfi's son and wife also caught four nice coho salmon on tubes while fishing for bass in the West Branch and North Fork ranging from 2 1/2 to 4 pounds.
– The lake is at 76-percent capacity. Casey Reynolds of Auburn reported that trout fishing was slow, but catfishing should be good in the deeper coves using chicken livers and sardines.
– The lake is at 67-percent capacity. Jim Caldwell at the marina reported that trollers were catching limits of 12- to 14-inch rainbows on flasher/worm combos at the inlet.
– The Foresthill Ranger Station reported that the boat ramp was still usable. Fishing was described as "decent."
– The Georgetown Ranger Station reported that the campgrounds were closed and the boat ramp was out of the water. Not much fishing pressure here, but shore anglers should be able to catch a few holdover rainbows.
– The lake was at 134.2-foot elevation at press time - 86-percent capacity. Not much to report with duck season going. On clear, blue bird days when the duck hunting will be very slow, try the rock banks along the west side and up above the bridge with crankbaits for fish warming up on the rocks in the afternoon.
– "The trout bite is good with fish up to 15 pounds being caught," said Debbie Grayson at Lake Amador Store. There were 300 pounds of cut-bows released each day last week with 112 fish that weighed 1,750 pounds released on Friday. There were two fish that weighed from 15 to 20 pounds in the group. The fish are put into the lake through 10-inch pipes from the spillway. The lake is over 50 feet down.
– Trout fishing is good. Trout are currently hanging out at about 30 feet in the main lake. At the pond, crappie jigs and Panther Martin spinners were working for trout to 6 pounds. Fishermen who were fishing from the middle of the trout pond in waders, boats or float tubes were having much better luck than the anglers who were trying to catch fish from shore. Bass fishing is slow. No catfish reports.
– Trout fishing is good one day and slows the next. Trollers are having trouble finding them, as the fish are constantly on the move chasing shad. Monte Smith of Gold Country Sport Fishing has been having good and bad success, one week great action the next slow. He has been pulling heavy spoons on leadcore line at 15 feet and on the downriggers at 35 feet. Bass fishing has got even tougher. Best method is still drop-shotting shad pattern plastics.
– Bass fishing is good for those in the know, but trout fishing has slowed. Jason Mello of A-1 Bait Shop in Snelling has seen guys with limits of bass while he was out checking the lake for bass information and trying for a bass or two of his own. One angler used a green pumpkin with black and green flake Senko to bag a couple 3-pound bass off the bank. The trout seem to have disappeared, he said.
– Trout fishing is good, as fish are consistently still being planted regularly. Denise Warwick at Lake McSwain Marina said, "Fishermen at the Brush Pile have been doing better than those fishing the Handicap Dock." Calaveras Trout Farm recently planted 1000 pounds of trout. Some anglers are also tossing rainbow trout patterned Pot O'Gold spoons. Jason Mello at A-1 Bait Shop in Snelling "The bite is off and on, one day they slam them and the next they just catch a few fish." Mello said Wedding Rings and 'crawler combinations are still producing for trout trollers.
– Pardee Lake Recreation Area is closed. The Park will reopen for the 2014 season Thursday February 13th for camping and the 14th for fishing.
– Fishing is good for trout. There are more fish showing up near the surface, making them easier to catch for both trolling anglers and bank anglers. The trout will push the bait from deep to shallow water. Try finding shallow water areas with deep water access. Trolling anglers should try toplining small plug-style baits. Rapalas, Speed Traps, and Lucky Craft baits are working. Try shad patterned colors on clear days and firetiger or rainbow trout colors on cloudy days. Bank anglers are catching them on Kastmasters or 'mallow/'crawler combo or a Power Egg/'crawler combo. Bass fishing is slow.
– Fishing is slow and the water level is slowly dropping.
