Thunderstorms are set to rumble across North Wales with temperatures continuing to climb for the rest of the week.
Rain showers and thunder are expected to hit the region this afternoon, according to forecasters.
But it will stay warm for the next few days with temperatures expected to stay in the mid 20s C as we head towards the weekend.
Weather experts say that the humid conditions are here to stay for a few more days as the UK is wedged between high pressure to the north-west, another blocking system near Scandinavia, and a deep low above the continent.
It means that warm and humid air is centred over the country which is pulling in brighter weather to the north-west but also causing more volatile stormy conditions further south.
The warm air contains lots of moisture and when this is heated by the sun, it causes the downpours.
The Met Office is predicting that there is a 50% chance of rain at 1pm in Hawarden before it moves west across North Wales reaching Rhyl between 3-4pm, Llandudno between 4-5pm and Barmouth could get two soakings at 3pm and 7pm.
It's thought that Anglesey however will remain dry for most of the day but there could be some showers in the early hours of tomorrow morning.
A band of downpours is also predicted to sweep over parts of Wales on Thursday.
But, come the weekend, high pressure will begin to exert more control with brighter conditions possibly extending across much of the country.
There will still be the prospect of thundery showers, especially in the south, and it will remain less warm in the east due to mist and murk from the North Sea lingering in coastal areas lowering temperatures.
A spokesman for The Weather Channel said: "A weak pressure pattern will result in a showery outlook for central and southern Britain with thunderstorms but there will be some good spells of sunshine between the showers.
"The best of the sunshine and dry weather will be across the north."
It should be generally fine into the early part of June, but there is a chance that cooler conditions could arrive by the middle of the month.

Multi-facetted, multi-talented Mike today releases his latest solo album: 'The Clovis Limits The Tennessee Transition'. Composer, songwriter, performer and producer – Mike wears all these hats, and more, with talent, flair and panache. 'The Tennessee Transition' shows off that his range, passion and virtuosity and, by intention, brings the listener as close as possible to experiencing Mike Ross playing live and solo. Speaking of which, Mike has some great news regarding live gigs in the near future!
'The Tennessee Transition' follows confidently in the wake of Mike's critically-acclaimed solo album: 'The Clovis Limit Pt.2': a 10-track, all-singing, all-rocking, multi-talented tour de force, made of 24-carat win. 'The Tennessee Transition' is a strong album in its own right, yet stands as a companion to Mike's acclaimed 'Clovis Limits' album duology.
It's also a pilgrimage, which explores the rich tapestry of Southern musical traditions and styles that have inspired Mike Ross throughout his own musical journey, featuring original and classic material.
"At the heart of pretty much every song I've ever written," Mike admits, "you'll find a guy with an acoustic guitar simply playing and singing his heart out. He'll most likely sitting be on his own in the corner of a shady room, lost in his own thoughts and trying to channel the spirits of the greats – from Charlie Patton to Robert Johnson, Hank Williams to Gram Parsons.
"Why a 'Tennessee Transition'?" he muses, "I wanted to pay homage to the fertile soil of that southern US state as it is the birthplace of so much of the music that I dearly love. I wanted to re-present some of the Clovis songs in their rawest, most stripped back form so that's exactly what I did and I'm not sure I've ever put a more authentic representation of myself out on record. If you've ever seen me play a solo set (or if you've always wanted to) then This album is as close as you're going to get to the real thing without making a show"
For Blues in Britain, "'The Tennessee Transition' perfectly captures the intensity and intimacy of Mike's solo shows, the power and emotion of bare-boned song holding player and listener rapt."
Music News, meanwhile, found that "The album is a treat. Ross playing and singing with joy and without the constraints of a band and very well worthy of The Clovis Limit(s) or on its own."
Check out Mike's return to touring AND 'The Clovis Limits The Tennessee Transition' for its own, freestanding excellence and musical impact, for its fabulous slide guitar work; and as an insight into the rich musical tapestry that have inspired and fired this highly-creative, genre-crossing musical talent for many a decade.

The horrific crime of rape continues to be the most damaging crime against women. And in India, news papers are filled with reports of Indian women, foreigners, young girls and senior citizens getting raped every other day. Most of these reports come from the National capital, Delhi. Since the Nirbhaya gang rape happened in 2012, we have only seen an increase in the reported number of rape cases in the capital.
According to a report by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), last year the number of rape cases that were reported was 2,199 which is a 1.52percent increase from the year 2014 when the total rape cases were 2,166. In the year 2012, 706 rape cases were reported. The horrifying reality is that until May this year 727 rape cases have already been reported to the Delhi Police, which is more than the total rape cases in the year 2012.
If one looks at the wider range of crimes against women, in 2015 5,367 such cases were reported which is a staggering 24percent increase from 2014 when the crimes reported were 4,322. In 2012, the crimes reported were 727. Delhi had a share of 2,166 rapes in the total of 36,735 rapes reported in the country in 2014.
Also read: Four out of five Indian women in cities have faced Public harassment: Survey
According to the data stated above, rapes happen every four hours in Delhi. "The number of rape cases is probably constant or the numbers might have decreased since the Nirbhaya case. We have no clue since the reporting earlier was much lower. It is just the fact that the reportage has increased on these rape cases now. The reasons can be several like the change in the government, the initiatives being talked about and the FIRs being filed by the police," said Anandhi Shanmugasundaram, Gender Rights Activist.
She added, "It is not the question of increase in number but even the 727 rape cases reported in this year until May is very disturbing. In a way it shows the discrepancies on the part of the state authorities in following up the cases and building the adequate infrastructure to safety and security of the women who are increasingly coming to the city.
Also read: Wake up Bengaluru! Why the silence on sexual harassment?
While more and more cases are being recorded, the migrant female workers who come to the city in the lookout for opportunities are a big target of the sexual violence. And it is not until the state makes them their focal point that this problem can be resolved.
No doubt, the numbers in front of us are a matter of a concern. However, it is heartening to note that that more and more women are coming forward to report such cases. If nothing else, the stigma around the cases seems to be decreasing.

text: This week was definitely time for chili and soup. It actually got cold! We enjoyed the first fire of the season, and I tried desperately to make the kids bundle up for the morning walk to school. I tried a new chili recipe, too, Turkey Pumpkin Chili. It tasted great! I did end up using canned tomatoes for the sake of time, but my frozen fresh pumpkin replaced canned pumpkin. I really think this will be my go to recipe for chili now, especially when it's pumpkin season!

Some months ago I listened to a sermon that largely focused on what is commonly know as the 3d Commandment; Exodus 20:7, which reads:
"Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."
The pastor asserted that this verse was very often misinterpreted and misapplied; I agree. The pastor also quite correctly pointed out that the word for "take" in the original Hebrew; phonetically pronounced "naw-saw" has nothing directly to do with speaking; it has much to do with putting on and carrying; much as when my wife took my name when we got married, or when I take a gift or a responsibility.
Most people think of this verse as meaning that we are commanded to refrain from using [speaking] God's name cheaply, or "commonly," or something to that effect; using such well known phrases as "O.M.G." or "G.D. it!" Please understand that in no way am I advocating that the use of these phrases by Christians, or anyone else (neither did the pastor), is not OK, not in the least. Such language is very unbecoming of a Christian.
In a nutshell, the pastor rightly advocated that Christians; people who bear the name of God, should not bear His name improperly. In other words, if you are a Christian, act like a Christian. I fully concur.
I think that this needs to be taken further, however. First off, we need to clarify the definition of a Christian that will be used in this post. This author recognizes that people who have truly believed on; FULLY put their trust in the FINISHED work of Christ PLUS NOTHING ELSE WHATSOEVER, in any way, shape, or form, are Christians; they have been been born again (John 3), and that second birth that they now have is sinless, because if is born of God (1 John 3:9), not of the sinful flesh. Anyone who claims to be a Christian and has not truly put their trust in Christ is bearing the Lord's name in vain [uselessly]; blatantly disobeying the 3d commandment, no matter how religious [even famous] they may be, no matter how "good" they may be, no matter how many church rituals and sacraments they may have completed, etc. They indeed are superficially bearing God's name, yet it is very much in vain. Whatever belief system, etc. that they have that they may deem as being their faith, has ZERO power to save; they are living out a lie; a faith that is in vain; it will ultimately result in the judgement of the unbeliever (Revelation 20:11-15); they have broken God's Law here, and of course everywhere else (James 2:10).
A verse that I have used in many writings that I have posted on this site; Galatians 5:16, applies yet again here too. The people described in the paragraph above do not have the Spirit to walk in, as does the true believer, who is sealed with the Holy Spirit when he/she truly believes the Gospel (Ephesians 1:13, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4); the people in the paragraph above never truly have trusted in Christ and have thus never truly believed the Gospel. Neither has anyone else of any other religion (yes, we all have a religion, even [especially] atheists) that has not trusted in Christ and been born again. We as believers have; as in presently possess eternal life, which cannot be lost (John 3:16, 6:47, Romans 11:29). Only we as believers have been adopted into God's family (Romans 8:214-17). As members of His family and the future Bride of Christ, we share His name; much as (actually to a much greater extent than) my wife and my children bear my last name as members of my family. Being bearers of; having taken His name, we are to take/bear it in such a way that honors Him and bears fruit; the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). This is what happens when we walk in the Spirit. Of course there is no bearing of the fruit of the Spirit without the Spirit to walk in; just as there is no bearing apples without an apple tree. There can be things that look like apples made without apple trees; just as non-Christians can produce "fruit" [behavior] that may look like the fruit of the Spirit, yet at the core it is much different. The fruit that comes from the Spirit is flawless (1 John 3:9), and fruit that comes from elsewhere is tainted and totally unacceptable to God (James 2:10, Isiah 64:6).
Without the new birth, you are guilty before God, and as the text says, He will not hold you guiltless. When you have been born again, He has removed your sins and does indeed hold you guiltless because of your sinless; guiltless second birth (1 John 3:9).
Please see my post from a few months ago entitled "Worship, What is it...". Anything of "worship" that is done outside of that context; true worship of God, I believe is a violation of the 3d commandment.
Believe in Christ; believe the Gospel, then, and only then do you have the Spirit to walk in. Now choose to walk in the Spirit (something of course only the believer can do). Do this and you are taking God's name as He would have you take it. This will most certainly NOT be in vain. God bless.

When most of us think about life insurance companies, we think of purchasing a policy to plan for the future. However, thinking about what life companies do with our premiums will help you to understand why life insurance companies are an excellent source of capital financing for commercial real estate.
Life companies think in the long term: premiums are collected over a period of decades, and making stable, long-term investments is how life insurance companies ensure that funds are available when a benefit payout comes due. Most Life Companies today invest in excess of 30% of their multi-billion dollar portfolio of investments into Commercial Real Estate. Because of this long-term outlook, life companies are considered to be a "top grade" source of capital for the highly qualified, experienced investor-builder.
Life Companies offer numerous fixed rate products up to 25-years, have flexibility with loan structure and have been known to go beyond 75% leverage for the right asset with a strong guarantor. Life Insurance Real Estate loans are aggressively priced and are available for most asset classes including; industrial, office, hospitality and multifamily.

Current Research
Transcriptional Signatures of Single Cell Lineages
The goal of the project is to develop tools to study gene expression using a combination of High Throughput Imaging and live cell fluorescence. This will be based on action of the MSX1 regulatory modules and their role in the fate of mesenchymal stem cells, using C2C12 mouse cells as the model cell.
To follow rapid changes in gene expression, a destabilised fluorescent reporter needs to be used. During the first year I created a stem cell line expressing Venus Yellow Fluorescent Protein under control of the MSX1 promotor with 4 identified regulatory regions.
Current systems have shortcomings in segmentation, tracking. The challenge is to create a flexible but easy to use system to identify and analyse the cell data. Different image analysis methods have been developed to track individual cells, build lineages and follow fluorescence intensity during an experiment.
Tools have been developed for statistical analysis and visualisation of the data. These will be further extended to examine other changes in the population. This will include examining any heterogeneity in the cell populations caused by differentiation.
The software has been released as LineageTracker and is compatible with Windows, OSX and Linux running Java and ImageJ.
Recording the Cell Cycle
The LineageTracker software has been used to analyze the cell cycle via FUCCI fluorescent markers, which indicate the cell's passage through the G1 and S-G2-M phases of the cycle.
Intensities of the FUCCI markers following cell division. Fluorescence intensity following cell division for the two daughter cells in figure 6. The two FUCCI channels have been shown for an entire cell cycle. The G1 signal (red) increases gradually following mitosis, then decreases following a rise in S-G2-M signal (green) (From Downey et. al., PLoS One, 2011)
Colour changes during the cell cycle indicated by FUCCI markers. The overlap in the red and green fluorescence (transition between G1 and S phase) is shown. (Adapted from Downey et. al., PLoS One, 2011)

Faulty gene causing dangerous cholesterol may leave 250,000 at risk of coronary
A GENETIC condition which causes dangerously high cholesterol could be putting 250,000 people at risk of an early heart attack.
A genetic condition which causes high cholesterol could bring on an early heart attack
New UK figures from the British Heart Foundation (BHF) show that double the number of people may be living with the deadly inherited gene which causes familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) than previously thought.
However, many of these people have not been identified. Figures show that only around 20,000 people are being treated in specialist clinics for the condition.
If all of the estimated 250,000 people with the FH gene in the UK were identified and treated, as many as 25,000 deaths could be avoided, the BHF said.
It is now calling on NHS services across the country to urgently roll-out a nationwide testing programme for affected families.
FH is caused by a genetic fault that leaves people with dangerously high cholesterol from birth, significantly increasing their risk of a heart attack.
Around 250,000 could be affected by this condition
FFH is often called a hidden killer, but the truth is it doesn't have to be hidden and it doesn't have to be fatal
On average, FH can shorten life expectancy by 20 to 30 years if left untreated. Statins - which lower cholesterol - may be prescribed to adults or children over 10 who have the condition.
Recommendations from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) say adults with a total cholesterol level above 7.5mmol/l before any treatment should be tested for FH.
It also says the NHS should roll-out FH testing for families where one person has been identified as carrying the gene.
Typically, if one person is found to have FH, half of their brothers and sisters and half of their children will also have the faulty gene and be at a higher risk of early onset of heart disease, including a heart attack.
The BHF said the setting up of FH services has been slow in England and Scotland. It is funding 25 FH nursing posts across 13 different locations to increase testing.
If the gene is identified and treated, it could save up to 25,000 lives
Facts about Inherited high cholesterol
Professor Peter Weissberg medical director of the BHF, said: "FH is often called a hidden killer, but the truth is it doesn't have to be hidden and it doesn't have to be fatal; treatment to prevent heart attacks is straightforward once the condition has been identified.
"The job we face now is to raise awareness of FH and change the hearts and minds of commissioners and others who purchase healthcare services to ensure that this is the last generation where families are left at high risk of early heart attacks."
If people are diagnosed early enough and given early statin treatment, lifestyle advice and careful monitoring, the life expectancy of someone with FH rises to match that of someone in the general population.
Professor Huon Gray, national clinical director for heart disease at NHS England, said more work needed to be done to improve testing rates.
He added: "We all have a role to play in ensuring that future generations aren't put at an increased risk of early heart attacks."

2015 Sidney Myer Fund Australian Ceramic Award. Winner Announced by Shepparton Art Museum
24 August 2015
Shepparton Art Museum (SAM) is delighted to announce the winner of the biennial Sidney Myer Fund Australian Ceramic Art Award (SMFACA), the premier national award for artists working in ceramics.
The $50,000 acquisition prize has been awarded to Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran.
Deputy Director, National Gallery Australia and former Director of SAM Kirsten Paisley described the work of Ramesh as "an extraordinary body of major sculptural works that are exceptionally exciting." Ramesh focuses "on diverse sources from pre-colonial Hindu devotional sculpture to Christianity and sexualized bodies he explores fertility and creation, religion and gender. His work evokes the energy and reverence of `the deity' while embodying the playfulness of a story-book action hero."
This year's Sidney Myer Fund Australian Ceramic Art Award exhibition supports the rich, vibrant and diverse use of the ceramic medium, and includes the work by five contemporary artists Adam John Cullen, Penny Byrne, Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran, Ruth Hutchinson and Sanné Mestrom. SAM Acting Director Rebecca Coates explains that "each of the five artists shortlisted has created an outstanding new body of work that not only extends their own artistic practice, but also challenges our understanding of ceramics within a contemporary context."
All five finalists were judged on the following criteria detailed by Ms Coates "the conceptual premise of the work and approach to the opportunity; technical ability and engagement with materiality; and spatial considerations – how the work inhabited the space. The work also needed to be innovative, to challenge, excite and intrigue."
All five artists' works will be on display at the Shepparton Arts Museum until November.
Shepparton Art Museum is proudly provided by Greater Shepparton City Council, located at 70 Welsford Street, Shepparton. For general enquiries and bookings please contact: (03) 5832 9861, email firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit www.sheppartonartmuseum.com.au. Open 7 days, 10am to 4pm, public holidays 1pm to 4pm.

Immigration Federalism : Towards a Broader, Comparative and Subnational Research Agenda
In many federal states, subnational governments are increasingly involved in immigration policy making (i.e. immigrant recruitment, selection, settlement or integration), which has resulted in the decentralization of powers and resources, and important policy development at the subnational level. For example, several American states have adopted a more proactive stance on immigration and issued pro-immigrant laws to counter the federal government's policies (Reich 2018; Colbern and Ramakrishnan 2018). In Belgium, immigrant integration is a matter of subnational jurisdiction and subnational governments have therefore stepped in to develop fully-fledged civic integration programs (Adam, Martiniello, and Rea 2018; Xhardez 2016; 2019). In Canada, immigrant selection has been partially decentralized to the provinces so that they can select their economic immigrants (Baglay and Nakache 2014a; Paquet 2019). The growing involvement of subnational governments has profoundly changed the landscape of immigration policy making, which will have long-lasting consequences in terms of migration flows management, intergovernmental relations, and the distribution of power in federal states. The involvement of different levels of government in immigration-related activities has been studied through the lens of 'immigration federalism'.

By Gary Stocks
The imposing record of the North Beach Amateur Football Club was further galvanised on Saturday when Bill Duckworth steered the A-grade team to its sixth successive title.
The Duckworth era at North Beach added another impressive chapter with a 37-point win over respected rival North Fremantle, giving the club its ninth premiership in 11 years under the direction of the 1984 Norm Smith medallist.
After North Fremantle kicked the first three goals of the game, North Beach gradually worked their way into the match and then dominated in the second half on the way to a resounding 37-point victory – 10.13 (73) to 5.6 (36).
Led by captain Chris Pearce and wingmen Steve Bandy and Ben Heap, the Tigers took control of the midfield and consistently pumped the ball forward where they had a reliable target in full-forward Mitch Holbrook who capped off his game with five goals.
Centre half-forward Ben Wilson also worked tirelessly throughout while veteran Chris Perkin, playing in his ninth premiership, had a strong impact on the game with two goals.
North Fremantle could kick only two goals after quarter-time, with the North Beach defence led by Reece Cunningham, who had the difficult task of matching up Karl Pirrotina, Luke Smith, Anthony Ingham and Jackson Harwood holding sway.
The work of Pearce, after the initial onslaught from the Maggies, was pivotal to the North Beach resurgence. The skipper took it upon himself to change the course of match and other important players began to exert an influence through the midfield.
Aside from Pearce, Bandy (who won the BJ Giles Medal as best afield) and Heap, others like colt Josh Bollen, the experienced Kyle Riemann and Shane Paap also began to get their hands on the footy and if not for some wasted opportunities in attack, would have led at the first change.
By half-time the Beach led by three points and it was clear that their run was proving a handful for North Fremantle. And with the strong defensive effort shutting down the Maggies key forwards, the Beach were poised to pounce.
The work of Cunningham should not be under-estimated, given he was swung onto Pirrotina, who had kicked two first quarter goals, and did not hit the scoreboard again during the match.
It was a strong, disciplined and determined effort in the back half, with all players performing their role.
With the emotional spur of Chris Perkin playing and aiming for his ninth premiership medal, the Beach were always going to be tough to topple and "the king" certainly put his imprimatur on the match. He took several strong contested marks and imposed himself physically on the contest.
As North Beach took control with six goals to one after the main break, it was clear North Fremantle could not match the run or class of its opponent. Duckworth used his bench well, rotating his running players off the bench to ensure there was no let-up in pressure being applied.
It was a satisfying victory for the club and one which further stretches its historic winning sequence. Last year the club eclipsed the record of four successive premierships established by Mt Lawley in the '80s and is focused on continuing its dominance of this competition.
North Beach 2.4 4.5 7.8 10.13 73
North Fremantle 3.0 4.2 4.5 5.6 36
GOALS – North Beach: M Holbrook 5; Perkin, Paap 2; Turner 1. North Fremantle: Pirrotina 2; Minervini, B Loby, Phipps.
BEST – North Beach: Bandy, Heap, C Pearce, Cunningham, M Holbrook, Ingham,, Wilson, Bollen. North Fremantle: Mollica, Phipps, Martin, Hall.
BJ Giles Medal: S Bandy (North Beach)

The Seahawks' top pick in the 2018 draft is now under contract, with running back Rashaad Penny signing his contract on Wednesday.
Penny, who led the nation in rushing at San Diego State last season, was the No. 27 overall selection in the draft, marking just the second time in the past six drafts that the Seahawks have taken a player in the first round. Penny was a player that Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was both "fired up" and "jacked" about adding to the team last month.
"Speed, durability, humble," Carroll said. "Probably the part about this young man is that he's humble, he's ready to work. Whatever we want, he'll do. The special teams accent is so unique, he's really something. To be able to help Tyler (Lockett), take the burden off of Tyler at times—they'll compete for all of the return stuff, which is great. He's coming in here to compete, he knows that. We aren't just handing him the job, he's got to come in here and battle, which he's ready to do. But he's such an exciting player, and he's so versatile and so dynamic. We know that every time he gets his hands on the ball, he can score a touchdown. And that's in the running game and the passing game, because he's very gifted catching the football and running routes as well."
Additionally, the Seahawks signed offensive tackle Jamarco Jones, a fifth-round pick, and quarterback Alex McGough, a seventh-rounder, on Tuesday, meaning the team now has six of its nine picks under contract, a group that also includes tight end Will Dissly, punter Michael Dickson and defensive end Jacob Martin, who signed prior to rookie minicamp earlier this month.
Check out photos of San Diego St. running back Rashaad Penny, who the Seahawks selected with the No. 27 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

BECAUSE THEY WORK...BECAUSE THEY'RE AFFORDABLE...But MOST of all because they're MADE IN THE USA!
When you buy a Salty's lure you can expect to receive a product that is top quality and will catch you fish every time!
What you won't see is fancy TV displays in a shop, or high priced lures or bait and switch advertising. What you will see is great quality and proven fish catching plugs at a fair price.. all backed by a reputation that is second to none in the industry! Salty's is my only business and it's a 7 day a week job keeping up with demand!
Wood lures are unique. Like a fingerprint, every one is different. Wood lures have the best action of any lure, and they're the most fun to fish!
To be able to make a hand crafted wood lure fool a fish is one of the neatest things in fishing... and it's what draws alot of people to fish just wood lures. Wood lures have a very subdued sound to them in the water... A sound that plastic etc cannot duplicate! This is a very large advantage at times to keep from spooking fish with funny noises. Given the choice of a mass produced lure with cheap components or a Salty's lure, the Salty's lure wins hands down, and our excellent feedback from shops and customers shows this! Today everyone says they make the best, or use the best components etc, but the bottom line is it's hoopla and marketing. We buy our components in bulk directly from the same manufacturers. Same components (split rings, swivels, etc) that everyone else uses. But our difference is we make every single lure and most custom parts completely in-house. We control every step of the process from manufacturing the metal lips to finished packaging and shipped to a store or fisherman near you. We manufacture our own computer controlled machines geared directly towards building lures. We have a fully equipped machine shop for machine and part fabrication to support our processes from start to finish! By utilizing this capability we can fabricate and build parts to support our machines that enable us to save steps and time, increase efficiency, while creating some of the highest quality wood lures available anywhere in the world. Currently Salty's uses custom designed 7 computer operated CNC machines in every step of the process. (Checkout our YouTube channel for some neat videos on how some of this is done) We use top quality American made products on every lure we make. Tried and true components that have been used for decades. The exception to this USA made policy is our VMC hooks which are made in France and some Krok swivels which are made in China. No gimmicks here just affordable lures that catch fish!
Not only do we use top quality USA components, but our finish is top quality too! We've spent considerable time to make these the best they can be and take pride in every lure we make.
Salty's Lures are designed for light tackle fishing, boat or surf, using typically 10-20 lb test line class is preferred although many use higher for larger gamefish species. Wood lures have actions unmatched by their plastic cousins. Early striped-bass fisherman discovered this and the tradition now continues! Salty's lures have been used to catch fish worldwide including Stripers, Bluefish, Bonito, False Albacore, Blue fin Tuna, Grouper, Giant Trevally, Amberjack, Queenfish, and more!
Salty's Lures are born from only the finest hand selected stock. Wood is chosen for grain, length and direction, and cut to our exact specifications at mills in the USA and Canada. Select slow growth woods from Red & Yellow Birch to Soft & Hard Maple, Specialty Cedars and Pacific Cypress are used to ensure tight grain and maximum density. Each lure represents a different type of wood, and only the finest squares are selected after being vacuum dried to a moisture content of 8% or less. In addition we air dry our own pine to control every step of the process.
Each lure blank is cut to length. Custom built sophisticated high speed computerized machinery cross bores each blank for a perfect meet every time. We have found that investing in specialized machinery is proper to being able to turn out a good high quality lure at an affordable price! We are the only custom wood lure maker with a fully integrated machine shop also for full tooling support & construction.
Each lure is turned and sanded 3 times in progressive steps on a high speed backnife production or computerized CNC lathe. The cnc lathe cuts the kit bodies at a faster rate than can be achieved by hand with replication specs spot on every time! Unlike many other companies who choose to outsource their products, all turning and operations are handled in our modern manufacturing facility to ensure that each lure meets our specifications-we can control everything in-house for truly the finest quality possible! In 2008 we purchased a large hopper-fed backnife lathe to dedicate just to kit manufacturing for even faster production!
After the lure is turned it then goes to another computerized CNC machine which precisely drills each part of the body. This machine drills a complete 9 hole lure in under 26 seconds. Don't try this at home :)
Additional functions such as lip slots, cupped faces, etc are performed. Each lure is handled an average of 14 times from start to finish. To make a good wood lure it requires many carefully processed steps and close attention is required to ensure entire production batches carefully match. Because of our computerized CNC machinery we can manufacture each run exactly the same as the previous!
Lures are sealed multiple times to prevent water intrusion and splitting. Proper preparation is crucial to a well performing lure! It's one of the things that sets us apart from everyone else.
Our exclusive hand mixed pigments are designed to be within the window of most gamefish vision ranges for optimum visibility in the water! This enhances the predatory instincts of large gamefish because it most closely matches what a real baitfish looks like! In 2003 Salty's was the first wood lure company to work with the top special effects pigment manufacturers to achieve finishes that some are just starting to advertise today!
Actual light microscope bright field and scanning electron images of one of our custom color pigment mixes.
Hand assembly and packaging is the final process before shipping to shops and customers worldwide. This is where final quality control is given and any remaining "seconds" are removed. We utilize only the highest quality components made in the USA, and with the use of space age glues and specialized pigments, Salty's Lures are old world technology lures with a high tech advantage!
And the end result is a happy face or a return picture from an excited fisherman!
The comments and pictures that our customers send are proof that Salty's plugs do what counts... They catch fish at an affordable price!

An Experience You'll Never Forget
See Why Our Customers Love Us
"We knew Mike was civic minded when we first hired him in 2007 based on a silent auction package he donated for the Northern Nevada JDRF. We've hired Mike four different times for four different jobs and every time we've felt safe to leave the projects unattended. We have huge confidence in Mike after seeing his communication skills with numerous sub-contractors on a two-story addition. There were no mix-ups and no arguments. You know someone appreciates you as a client when they give you a thank you gift at the end of a project. Mike did that. Mike doesn't just forget you when the job is completed; he let us borrow a jackhammer for a DIY project."
"Communication. Michael understands that for most people a four or five figure construction job is not an everyday occurrence, and what most of us ask for, in addition to a great final product, is regular communication with our contractor. Ruepp Construction delivered on both. My wife and I bought a fixer upper and hired Ruepp Construction to renovate the kitchen, a bathroom, and fix some plumbing and electrical issues. We're overjoyed with Michael's work and are loving our new kitchen and bathroom. We are also very satisfied with the process to get there – as with any big project there were bumps in the road that nobody saw coming, but Michael was in constant communication with us so that we understood what his crew was doing on our job, and why. I can't recommend Ruepp Construction any more highly."
"We tried for two years to work with an architect and contractor on a patio cover project. In passing, I was given Mike's name by a teller at US Bank. We met with Mike and immediately felt like we were moving in the right direction. Mike was able to envision the design and most importantly, execute on it. The project came in on budget and on time. Further, the patio cover looks like it was part of the original construction of our home and does not look like an afterthought or add-on. Mike is able to deliver as promised, and his team is trustworthy and hardworking. We would highly recommend Mike Ruepp for your next construction project!"
"I hired Ruepp Construction for my kitchen remodel on a newly purchased house with a dated kitchen. They were very helpful with design & layout and offered some great ideas to keep the project within my budget and still have a great new kitchen. Their ability to communicate with me during all phases of the construction using pictures and text messages was very helpful as I could not be on site due to a busy work schedule.. Questions and small changes were handled very efficiently in this manner, allowing me to be at work but also allowing the project to continue with the little details that matter to get the best results in the end. Excellent workmanship and very accommodating of my particular needs makes them a company I would recommend. "
"Construction and remodel projects are often quite the undertaking in terms of time, inconvenience and overall interruption to one's life. Fortunately, the construction Gods were shining upon me when I found Ruepp Construction.
I had a multiple projects that I needed completed at my home, some ranging from quite simple touch up and small improvements to some not so simple, such as sourcing fireplaces for my great room and master bedroom. Mike Ruepp spent an extraordinary amount of time brainstorming ideas and providing possible sources to meet my picky nature when attempting to locate the perfect fireplace mantel. Benny, a member of the Ruepp construction team, was simply amazing. I literally gave them my garage code and showed them what I needed done. The work was completed as if by miraculous means. On one occasion, they had a difficult time locating my paint. They simply went to the store, mixed the paint, purchased the paint, touched up areas in need of touch up, and I did not even know it was a challenge or dilemma – it was done!
My marble fireplace came out absolutely perfect, in spite of the fact that we encountered a few challenges due to the location and limited space. Again Ruepp Construction had solutions to offer before presenting the problem, and, in fact, the suggested modifications resulted in a look that overall exceeded my expectations!
Their work is impeccable. Their willingness to meet my deadlines and work around our home schedules made it such a pleasure to work with Ruepp Construction. It is obvious that this company carefully considers the needs of the customer. They respect and honor the importance of the homeowners comfort during the work phase and go to great lengths to ensure that little to no imposition occurs.
I was so confident with Ruepp Construction and their work ethic, integrity and trustworthiness that I provided my garage code and keys to my home so that they could work without interruption to their schedule or mine. Returning home each evening, one could hardly notice that only hours before there were probably paint cans, marble strips, and a variety of tools laying around. They cleaned up each evening before leaving, even to include vacuuming! When they used my back yard to cut and modify marble to fit perfectly, it was left spotless.
I am sure that in the future I will have additional projects, and it is with complete confidence that I say Ruepp Construction will be my first phone call."
"Ethel and I would like to commend you and your team of Ben and Mike for the excellent work they did on this project. We found them to be both professional and knowledgeable about their work. Couple with the fact that they were both courteous and friendly made them a pleasure to have in our home. We would specially like to commend you for your policy of taking extra special measures to limit the dust created by work on the remodel. Ben and Mike were very conscientious in this matter as well as in protecting the hardwood floors."
"Thanks for a job well done!!! ☺"
"Thanks so much for the wonderful craftsmanship on my bathroom. I really appreciated your skills and good humor throughout the project. Good luck on future projects!"
"We have done several home remodel projects with Ruepp Construction. The quality of workmanship is always outstanding, the crew clean and very nice and Mike always seems to be able to interpret our design ideas and turn them into beautiful finished products!"
"Our master bath remodel went very smoothly and the end result is high quality and exactly what we wanted. It wasn't even a question who we would use when we elected to remodel the guest bath! Ruepp Construction has done excellent work for us."

Sale History
Sale is situated in the Mersey Valley and this area was used as a route to the Pennines from prehistoric times. The whole of Sale lies less than 30m (100ft) above sea level just on the edge of the valley. Prehistoric man first came to the area more than 6000 years ago. They preferred to live on high ground in hill forts and the only prehistoric find so far in Sale is a flint arrow head discovered in the garden in Holly Bank (off Derbyshire Rd) in 1894.
Landmarks in Sale
Sale has three Grade II* listed buildings – two churches (St. Martin and St. John the Divine) and Ashton New Hall – and eighteen Grade II listed buildings. The cenotaph outside the town hall was designed by Ashton upon Mersey sculptor Arthur Sherwood Edwards and is a Grade II listed building. It commemorates the 400 men from Sale who died in the First World War and the 300 who died in the Second World War. The memorial consists of a statue of a mourning Saint George on top of a granite pedestal. Costing £600 (£34 thousand as of 2020), it was funded by public subscription and unveiled in May 1925 in front of a crowd of 10,000.

How to unfreeze my credit without a PIN
Creating a Personal Identification Number (PIN) acts as an extra security measure when you place a credit report freeze. But if you lose your PIN, can you unfreeze your credit? In this article, we'll cover whether or not unfreezing your credit is possible, and how it works with each credit bureau.
Why should I freeze my credit report?
A credit report freeze can protect your personal information from identity theft or if, for example, your information was exposed in a data breach or a fraudulent charge was detected on your account. It denies access to your credit score and report through one or all of the three credit bureaus (Experian™, Equifax® and TransUnion®), so lenders, insurance companies, or landlords can't pull your report while you're reviewing your report for discrepancies.
Whenever you apply for new credit, a lender or creditor usually reviews your credit information from the credit bureaus to evaluate your application for credit. They'll look at factors such as how responsible you've been with your credit and whether you've made payments on time.
Freezing your credit prevents your credit file from being viewed, which in turn prevents new accounts from being set up in your name, such as a loan or a new credit card.
When should I unfreeze my credit report?
If you're looking to apply for a loan or credit card, you will need to unfreeze your credit report. You'll have to unfreeze your credit report individually with each credit bureau. However, if you know which bureau a creditor is using, you can just unfreeze that one.
How can I unfreeze my credit report without a PIN with Equifax®, Experian™ and TransUnion®?
Here is a bureau breakdown of how you can remove a credit freeze on your report without a PIN:
How to unfreeze your credit report with Experian™
Experian still requires a PIN to freeze credit. If you lose your PIN, you can use Experian's online PIN request form to have your PIN sent. You'll just have to answer some identity verification questions.
How to unfreeze your credit with Equifax®
You don't need a PIN to freeze or unfreeze your credit with Equifax® if done online. You just need to create a myEquifax account. You can use this account to check the status of your freeze. You can also call and answer identity verification questions to lift the freeze. Lastly, you can download a form from their website and follow the instructions.
How to unfreeze your credit report with TransUnion®
Similar to Equifax®, you can create an online account, which allows you to freeze and unfreeze your credit with TransUnion®. You will need to create a PIN during the credit freezing process, but you only need your PIN if you want to lift your freeze by phone. If you lose your PIN, you can still unfreeze your report online as long as you have the password and name connected to the account. You can create a new PIN online for an added layer of security, and won't need the old PIN to set up a new one.
What does it mean to temporarily unfreeze your credit report?
There are two ways to temporarily unfreeze credit:
- If you're applying for a loan, you could ask your lender which bureau they use and unfreeze just that account for a specified date range, or you can unfreeze indefinitely and refreeze once the process is done. Just make sure not to forget to refreeze.
- You can lift a freeze for a specified number of days (i.e. you're shopping around for a car loan).
Temporarily unfreezing your credit is safer than permanently unfreezing credit, as it can still protect you against identity theft. Also, if you do a temporary unfreeze, you won't need to worry about remembering to freeze your credit again.
How long will it take to remove a credit report freeze?
All three bureaus usually lift a credit freeze immediately if your request is made via phone or online, but it can take up to one hour. If you decide to lift your freeze by mail, it should be lifted within three business days.

Tax season is finally over and employers everywhere are breathing a bit easier. Now that the IRS has been paid, it's the perfect time to take things easier right? Why sweat the next tax season just yet?
Because the sooner you start implementing sound strategies that will reduce the cost of payroll taxes, the more you'll save on the next year. If this sounds like something you might be interested in, then here are a few ways you can reduce your payroll taxes for next year!
Independent Contractors.
As an employer, you only have to take care of payroll taxes for your employees. Independent contracts, though, are self-employed. All you have to do is make sure that they're paid their full amount on time. They have to take care of their tax obligations themselves. That being said, not every position can be filled with an independent contractor. Only consider this option if the opening you have is specialized and requires minimal supervision.
FICA Benefits.
Instead of offering employees a raise, why not offer them benefits that are exempt from FICA withholding instead? If the money is diverted into things like employee insurance programs, you won't have to pay a payroll tax on it. That being said, partner members of businesses defined as LLCs, sole proprietorships, and employers who own over two percent of an "S" corporation can't take advantage of this.
Online Payroll Services.
There are several cost benefits of using online payroll systems and one of the biggest ones is their accuracy. All of your payroll tax information is reported timely and precisely, which eliminates the potential of having to pay exorbitant penalties.
These are just a few of the great ways you can reduce payroll taxes. If you hire independent contractors, offer FICA exempt benefits, and use online payroll services, you'll find the amount owed to the IRS at the end of the year will be substantially less than anticipated. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments. For more, read this link.

Avoid having to remember numbers because calling for help is now convenient.
For many elderly folks, there are a lot of numbers to remember and depending on the type of phone you have, you may have programmed them into your or your loved one's phone. However, it's more easy to reach these numbers when everything is going alright and our health is not being endangered. When a disabled person or an elderly person is susceptible to falling or suffers from a surprising well-being attack, they don't have the luxury to scroll through amounts. They need help right away in Salt Lake City to minimize the time it takes that they could be treated.
Medical alert bracelets have saved lives in Utah. Immediate help is provided by a trained emergency response attendant over base unit and the telephone line and ascertains the situation.

You can save your own life in certain emergency situations if you do not leave everything to chance!
Crises occur in Salt Lake City and many of us don't believe they'll occur to us. Trust us, we have been in situations where unexpectedly an ambulance, a mobile and time are the only thing that you can count on to save the life of a loved one.

Additionally, a medical alert bracelet is waterproof.
Why risk it which you have not allowed yourself enough time to endure an emergency fall? The risk of being severely injured in a fall increases with age. Take guided medically steps to protect yourself AS WELL AS decrease the risk of falling, but don't leave the outcome of an emergency drop to opportunity.

His statement follows today's announcement by the Pangu Pati Executive Council of his suspension.
"At this stage, the only unchallenged authority in Pangu Pati is the Parliamentary Wing of which I am Parliamentary Leader. Until all matters involving the Pangu Council generally and the non-Parliament National Executive are resolved by the National Court, the only authorised statements on Pangu Pati matters are those sanctioned by my office – Pangu Pati Parliamentary Leader," said Basil.
"The estranged executive comprising president Pundao, general secretary Morris Tovevae and treasurer Daniel Kapi failed to comply with a National Court Order to meet with the Pangu Council on 19th of April 2018.
"That raises serious doubts about their standing and concern about the affairs of Pangu Pati," said Basil, who is Bulolo MP and Minister for Communications, Information Technology and Energy.
"The rest of the Pangu Council did meet complying with the National Court orders. The minutes of that meeting – together with affidavits of all who attended – shall be submitted to the National Court."
Pangu Council members who attended the 19th April meeting, aside from Basil, included Deputy Leader and Goilala MP William Samb, Sinake Rea, Nelson Tugo and Judith Kanadi.
Basil said: "Instead of making misleading announcements to the Pangu Pati faithful nationwide, and the publicly generally, Messrs Pundao, Tovevae and Kapi should prepare themselves to explain why they did not attend the 19th of April meeting as ordered by the National Court.
"Messrs Pundao and Tovevae are also facing separate criminal charges of theft over use of Pangu Pati monies in the 2017 National Elections," states Basil.
Meantime, this morning Party president Patrick Pundao gave the reasons as to why the Council suspended Basil:
- Pangu Pati Inc election funds raised through various fundraising events over the years are missing
- Donations to form government after the 2017 Elections while camping in Goroka are missing;
- Basil failed to consult the Council on important matters and making unilateral decision;
- Failed to consult the Council before joining the Government; and
- Failed to promote and uphold the Pangu Pati Constitution and not attending compulsory party meetings and funding party operations.

The definitive event in Asia welcomed over 350 guests and VIPs in a fun, productive luxury setting
Referred to by some in the industry as the definitive superyacht event in Asia, Kata Rocks Superyacht Rendezvous (KRSR) 2018 was hailed as a great success both in terms of prominent yachting brands on display and its relaxed and productive business setting.
Over 350 invited guests including local and international VIPs, major trend-setters in yachting and luxury partners attended the KRSR 2018 in Phuket, Thailand, that celebrated the superyacht lifestyle with lavish events, private gourmet dinners and luxury guest experiences.

"I'm very proud of our team who created the best KRSR yet," said Richard Pope, Kata Rocks & Infinite Luxury CEO. "It is really gratifying to create a relaxed fun environment where this industry's leaders in Asia can genuinely get down to business.
"We were also delighted to add Oceanco this year. We feel they are an ideal fit for the KRSR 2018 as they are perfectly aligned with Kata Rocks' spirit of innovation and luxury."

Oceanco Group Marketing Manager, Paris Baloumis agreed, "Oceanco is very pleased to have supported Kata Rocks Superyacht Rendezvous as the sponsor of the Owners' Dinner – it helps us get to know both the region and the people much better."
Royal Huisman and Berret-Racoupeau Design made waves with its KRSR launch in Asia. They teamed up to produce custom-built multihull superyachts, both power and sail, that redefine luxury catamaran design from the waterline upwards. New initiatives focused on sustainability were also prominent at the KRSR 2018. SeaKeepers Society was on hand to raise local awareness of the current situation of the world's oceans to protect, conserve, and restore where possible. Torqeedo also promoted a green ethos at the Rendezvous with its water-based electromobility, sustainability, and clean energy with its all-electric and solar powered ribs and tenders.

This year the KRSR 2018 fleet featured another spectacular gathering of superyachts, which joined in the annual KRSR superyacht fleet cruise up Phuket's sun kissed west coast to feast on a champagne beach BBQ at The Surin Phuket. It proved hugely popular for the third consecutive year, with participants enjoying beautiful weather, epic cuisine, and water activities.
The opening party was inspired by Phuket's unique Peranakan heritage and Sino-Portuguese heritage of old Phuket Town. While the KRSR Charter Season Opening Party brought the Rendezvous to a close in grand style, celebrating the start of Phuket's yachting season with a Mediterranean lifestyle theme enjoyed by all. It is one of the most important dates on Phuket's maritime calendar and delivered another fantastic evening of hip entertainment and cool sounds for the VIP guests in attendance.

Popular singer Eka Liu performed a lively set on a stage set up in the middle of Kata Rocks signature 35-metre infinity pool. It provided an ideal showcase for SeaJet's high-performance state-of-the-art jet watercraft as it circled the pool during her masterful performance.
The KRSR smartphone app made its debut this year and helped participants enjoy fuller and richer experiences at this year's Rendezvous. Yachting brands were curious how the app will help shape the future of superyacht event management and technology in years to come.

The success of this years' KRSR 2018 reflects Infinite Luxury's development strategy launched three years ago to place Phuket on the global superyacht map. It appears perfectly positioned to remain a pivotal in the development of the industry regionally, permanently hoisting the colours of international superyachting in Phuket, a boating hub in Southeast Asia.
