I took my slash to the skatepark and had no grip, so I need pavement tires , what kind?
You could try some anachondas from traxxas or street fighters from proline
Not sure how grippy the SCT version of trenchers are but they're incredibly grippy in their 2.8 monster truck size.
any street tire should give you enough grip at the skate park. i might do the same thing.
The traxxas s1 tires from my platinum worked great on wood. They are softer than the normal tires. The one thing I like about them in this environment, is they absorb much more off axis landing punishment compared to all other sc rims because of the way that the outside bead is made.
You might loosen the slipper a bit in this environment too.
Are you driving on wood or concrete? My local skate park is all concrete. I usually get pretty good traction on my stockers.
metal ramps you have no chance you need suction cups on the wheels, move your suspension on the arm at the rear to the
2nd hole out
Yep depends what the surface is. If its the real slippery smooth concrete that a lot of parks use then I don't think ANY kind of tire will give you much good grip.
I get better grip with my Pede and the talons but probably because the tire is wider, so you'd expect better traction.
It is concrete, real slick
[QUOTE=vchirinos;5154701]It is concrete, real slick[/QUOTE]
Hmmmm...I think regardless of what tires you run you're goiung to be slipping around a lot then.
i think it is the park and not your tires, what tires are you using?:confused:
I use Trenchers on splitsix wheels @ a concrete skate park . Stock Talons on my pede . Both seem as good as you will get - that concrete is usually slick .
Not to argue here but I get great traction at my local park with stock tires. We have metal ramps but I just make sure I'm up to speed when I hit them. We also have a concrete hip and bowl and I have no problem on them.
street tires will give you the best grip at the skate parks. proline makes the street fighters for short course wheels and if you want even more traction you can run some stampede wheels with 1/10 truck tires (cause they are wider) like the proline streetfighters, road rage, road hawg 2, and speed hawg. any of those street tires should give you more traction then any other off road tire.
Get some traction compound, soak them a little, ziplock them the night before getting all the air out, and mount them at the park. The stockers will work better than before. You could try that before spending money on a full set of tires. The traction compound will def help whatever tires you buy.
I just put a pair of Street Fighters from proline on my truck today and I was SHOCKED by the grip it had over stock tires. I couldnt spin the thing out!
nice. there you go. enjoy. get some videos. lol.
How about hard foam street tires? I get pretty good grip with them on the street.
Due to council regulations around Australia we are not allowed tire compounds chemicals like that kids play on grass etc and even cement and the parks if they get it in their mouth it can be a very bad thing. shread a peice of tire
Do you have simple green cleaner? You can use that on the tires, and while it is not as good as the traction compounds, it does soften up the tires. You could also experiment with things you are allowed to use. Some of the traction compounds are environmentally friendly so you could check into that also.
proline street fighters have worked well for me on just about all hard surfaces i have ran them on, proline badlands are also supprisingly grippy on all terains.

Contemporary drama in a rural setting

Episode 206 of 740 episodes
Adam tells Brian he'd like to delay the next lambing to March, but Brian's appalled at the idea - early lambing is key to their system. Brian expresses how unhappy he is with all Adam's recent changes. Brian and Jennifer go to the wine tasting at Grey Gables, where Jill gets a bit tiddly with Carol. Jill and Carol worry about Bert - he needs to become active again in his own garden, but is haunted by ghosts of happier times with Freda. There are lots of events coming up at Lower Loxley, including an Opera, wine festival and the village fete. Over a drink, Pip tells Rex about her Granny Heather being in hospital. Rex shares his worries about his and Toby's goose farming business. He feels that it wasn't meant to be, as he hasn't been able to get hold of any land to raise the geese on. They just need a building to house 100. Pip assures Jill that she'll be around to help David on the farm as much as she can before she goes away to start her new job. Pip won't let David down.

The Victorian Era in the Western part of the world was a time of elegance, formality, propriety and strict attention to etiquette and social mores. For men, the historical period was marked by fashions that were formal, elegant and somewhat somber during their work and leisure hours. Clean, basic lines, dark colors and an attention to detail were integral elements of the Victorian man's style of dress.
The Victorian Era is defined as the period of Queen Victoria's reign in Great Britain from 1837 to 1901. According to Gentleman's Emporium, clothing, dress and personal grooming in the Victorian Era were significantly more formal than they are today. With the exceptions of workmen performing hard labor, men were expected to wear a coat, hat and vest at all times in public. Anything less would have been considered inappropriate and run counter to societal values.
Basic Elements
According to Gentleman's Emporium, one of the most basic elements of the Victorian man's wardrobe was the waistcoat or vest. This piece was considered to be the axis of the man's ensemble. Vests could be brightly colored or dark and would often be used as an accessory to change the tone of a suit. The same suit could be worn a number of times with different vests, thereby changing the appearance of the overall outfit. Vests or waistcoats made of wool or cotton were common for daytime or for office wear, whereas colorful silk vests were more common for formal events.
Hats were of equal importance to the Victorian man's ensemble, and there were many popular variations. Top hats were reserved for more formal occasions, although they were occasionally worn during the day by men of means. Bowler hats or derbies grew increasingly common as the years passed and were considered appropriate day wear. The outerwear of choice for Victorian men was the frock coat, a long coat with a full skirt and a hem that hit above the knees. This garment was worn day or night and was a staple of any Victorian man's wardrobe.
Careful grooming of facial hair was also characteristic of the Victorian Era man. According to Victoria's Past.com, the years preceding the Victorian Era were known as the Regency period in which the style for men was to be clean shaven without a beard or a mustache. In the Victorian era, however, the fashion was quite the opposite, and mustaches, mutton chops and all manner of whiskers were a significant part of the period's style.
According to Gentleman's Emporium, ties (which were also known as cravats), pocket watches and walking sticks were popular accessories for men of the Victorian era. Ties could be thin and basic or wide and frilly, and pocket watches of the highest quality were considered status symbols. Walking sticks could be simple wood or topped with or brass decoration. It went against the laws of propriety for men and women to touch each others' bare skin in public, and so gloves were very common for both men and women.
According to Victoria's Past.com, the Victorian era was a time of great modesty and attention to social propriety. There were definite and formal laws that governed all kinds of social intercourse between men and women, and dressing appropriately was considered to be of the utmost importance. The formal nature of social interactions and the strict rules of conduct may be helpful in explaining the Victorian affinity for formal dress in nearly every situation.

So what shall we do? I noticed two posts that were particularly interesting and relevant. I don't have the links, so I will post a paraphrase: 1) "We have been doing this already, and it has been causing nothing but problems. Trying to figure out if a redirect is an error or not is very difficult. Trading a 30x for a 40x is not a good solution." 2) "You can use a proxy to do the same thing for you. The proxy intercepts the error message and forwards it to the proper server." So we have a testimonial that it #1 causes a problem, and #2 has a better solution that will also help produce a more scalable infrastructure to boot. How about putting in the docs that we don't allow redirects in "handle-errors", here's why, and here is how you can work around it if you have a dedicated server for error messages.... -- "You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, The Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the US of arrogance, and Germany doesn't want to go to war. And the 3 most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon' (sic)". -----Chris Rock

By the way, this is a win for US. I remember when rap was said to be a fad . We are now alongside some of the greatest writers in history.
Jay Z (born Shawn Corey Carter; 4.12.1969) Jay Z is an American rapper, as well being former CEO of the legendary hip-hop record labels, Def Jam Recordings and Roc-A-Fella Records.
Net Worth: Jay Z has a net worth of $550 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth (2014)
Childhood: Jay Z was raised in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn, New York. He attended George Westinghouse Information Technology High School, a school that he shared with Busta Rhymes and The Notorious B.I.G. Jay Z was never a successful academic, and he was involved in drug dealing whilst at school. Jay Z first got into music when his mother bought him a boom box for his birthday when he was young. He started out by freestyling and writing rhymes, taking part in a number of battles. It has been reported that he has battled Busta Rhymes, DMX and Bizzy Bone, of Bone Thugs 'N' Harmony. Reputedly, it was his victorious battle against Zai that caught the attention of a number of record labels.
Musical Career: At the start of his career, Jay Z formed Roc-A-Fella Records with Kareem Biggs and Damon Dash. His own debut album was released on the label. Reasonable Doubt featured production from Clark Kent and DJ Premier, as well as an offering from The Notorious B.I.G. In 1997, Roc-A-Fella forged a distribution deal with Def Jam and Jay Z released his second solo album, In My Lifetime, Vol.1 that same year. The album had Sean Combs (better known as Puff Daddy, or P.Diddy) on production duties. The next year, Jay Z released Vol.2. Hard Knock Life. The lead single from the album, 'Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)' was a huge hit for the rapper. With producers such as Timbaland and Swizz Beatz on board, the album went on to sell over 8 million copies across the globe. 1999 saw Jay Z release Vol.3 Life and Times of S. Carter. The album has been certified three times platinum and launched the hit single 'Big Pimpin'. In 2000, Roc-A-Fella released a compilation designed to celebrate the talent that they had been nurturing as a label. Jay Z appeared on The Dynasty: Roc La Familia, which sold over 2 million copies in the USA. Jay Z's next solo album, The Blueprint, was released in 2001 and is considered one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time, by many. Kanye West produced a number of tracks from the album, which launched Kanye's musical career. Following on the titular theme, Jay Z released The Blueprint2: The Gift and The Curse. The double album launched two hit singles, 'Bonnie & Clyde' (which featured Beyoncé Knowles of Destiny's Child) and 'Excuse Me Miss'. The album also featured 'A Dream', a track recorded with Faith Evans. In 2003, Jay Z released The Black Album, after touring with the likes of Sean Paul and 50 Cent. He worked with a number of producers on the album, including Rick Rubin, Kanye West and Eminem. The album featured the massive global hit, ''99 Problems.' The vocals from the album later featured in Danger Mouse's influential underground remix project, The Grey Album, in which he mixed Jay Z's vocal with the instrumentals from the Beatles' The White Album. In 2004, Jay Z collaborated with Linkin Park, on a project called Collision Course. They performed 'Numb / Encore' at the Grammy Awards, where they won the Best Rap / Sung Collaboration song. Despite announcing his retirement in November 2003, at a huge Madison Square Gardens charity concert (which also featured Mary J. Blige, Pharrell Williams and Ghostface Killah), Jay Z released Kingdom Come in 2006. His comeback single, 'Show Me What You Got' was accompanied by a video by acclaimed director, Hype Williams. In 2007, Jay Z's tenth album, American Gangster was released. The album was inspired by the film of the same name, though it is not the official soundtrack to the film. In 2008, amid much controversy, Jay Z was chosen to headline Glastonbury Festival. In response to public criticism from Noel Gallagher of Oasis, Jay Z walked onstage at the event, playing the Oasis song, 'Wonderwall'. In 2009, Jay Z released his eleventh album 'The Blueprint 3', which overall was met with positive reviews and did well commercially; the album debuted at number one in the Billboard 200 selling 476,000 copies in its first week. As it was Jay Z's eleventh album to debut at number one, he broke a record that he'd previously shared with Elvis Presley. In 2011 Jay Z and Kanye West brought out collaborative album 'Watch The Throne' which received mostly positive reviews upon release. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 charts, selling 436,000 in its first week in the United States. It's Jay-Z's 12th number one album and West's fifth. The album did incredibly well in many end of year album lists. Jay Z followed 'Watch The Throne' in 2013 with 'Magna Carta Holy Grail', which debuted at number one in the Billboard 200, selling 528,000 copies in its first week, exceeding expectations of it selling 350,000 to 400,000 copies. Despite the commercial success, 'Magna Carta...' was met with mixed reviews from critics. Justin Timberlake featured on the song 'Holy Grail'.
Personal Life: Jay Z married his long-term girlfriend, Beyoncé Knowles in April 2008. Despite both their high celebrity statuses, they chose for their marriage to take place in a secret wedding ceremony without publicity. Since 2008, Jay Z's influence and power in the industry have grown year on year. There have been many rumours circulated surrounding his links to the Illuminati. On January 7, 2012 Jay Z and his wife Beyonce welcomed their first child, a daughter named Blue Ivy Carter.
They'll be joined by Ellie Goulding, Craig David and Rudimental.
The first bunch of acts for Virgin V Festival 2017 have finally been announced, with Jay-Z and Pink named as headliners for the 22nd edition of the British music event. It marks ten years since Pink first appeared at the festival, way back in 2007, and it's Jay-Z's first ever V appearance.
V Festival comes to Hylands Park, Chelmsford on August 19th and and Weston Park, Staffordshire on August 20th, with the first line-up announcement having been made on Capital and Capital XTRA today (February 27th 2017). Many more acts are yet to be announced in the coming weeks including for the BBC Radio 1 stage.

Jay Z is to hold a special gig in Cleveland, on a date not yet confirmed, to get millennials to vote for Hillary in November's presidential election.
In an effort to mobilise the same black youth vote that tipped the scales in favour of Obama two years in a row, Jay Z is to hold a special concert in Ohio before the presidential election in order to encourage young people to vote for Hillary Clinton.
The gig, the date of which has not yet been confirmed but will definitely take place in Cleveland according to a report by Buzzfeed News, is believed to form part of the Clinton campaign's 'closing argument' strategy as the November 8th date of the 2016 presidential election looms ever larger.

Kanye had sounded off about Jay Z while performing live this week, with a source close to the New York rapper then saying he "can't stand" Kanye.
Jay Z and Kanye West represent one of the longest-running, successful and high-profile working relationships in pop, with the two collaborating as far back as 15 years ago, but apparently all is not well between the two rap icons, with a source saying that, actually, Jay Z "can't stand" Kanye.
This all started when Kanye spouted off about how disappointed he was that his old mentor Jay Z – real name Shawn Carter – hadn't come to visit the family home in California in the aftermath of Kanye's wife Kim being robbed in Paris, a terrifying ordeal that had seen her bound, gagged and threatened with a gun.
Kanye West unleashed a rant against Jay Z

Ora was accused of being the 'Becky with the good hair' referenced on Beyonce's 'Lemonade' album.
Rita Ora has slammed rumours that she was the "Becky with the good hair" mentioned on Beyonce's Lemonade album, calling the accusations 'rude and disrespectful'. The 25-year-old was formerly a protégé of Beyonce's husband Jay Z and signed to his Roc Nation records, but she left the label earlier this year after a dispute.
Rita Ora didn't appreciate being labelled "Becky with the good hair"
In an interview with Vanity Fair Ora spoke about the "Not Becky" pin she wore at this year's Met Ball after-party, shortly after the release of Lemonade. "That [pin] was a present from Katy Perry. Maybe I was the only one seen wearing it, but there were others," Ora explained.

Today, I realised that my body has its own masturbation cycle; while I was out shopping, I heard the intro music to my room-mate's favourite video game, and popped an uncontrollable boner. FML

Popped an uncontrollable boner? Thats about as good as fuckball....
^ Thank you for clarifying. I thought fuckball was really cool and fun to say, and "popped an uncontrollable boner" was up there with it. My original comment is getting thumbed down because people dont know where i got that from. :(
Fuckballs and uncontrollable boners... More fun to say than to have
some people think of naked women to get a boner. others think of porn scenes. you listen to video game music. each to their own!
I think he meant as soon as his roommate starts playing his video games and is distracted, he starts masturbating
They come out of nowhere sometimes. The Penis truly does have a mind of its own.

Either you secretly have an uncontrollable crush on your roommate or that music turns you on.
I'll go with the latter, but thanks Sherlock. We never would have come to that conclusion without your masterful deductive reasoning!
They are like ninja-rections. They appear out of nowhere...
26- Girls may not understand, but women do. We sometimes get all moist for no reason at all. Most of us understand the random boners guys get. We have been through biology class. Also, it wasn't random at all. Pavlov's dog, people; it's a trained reaction.
I understand ._. mainly because I have an older brother. Well that and I also am 17 and am not an idiot :)
#81 - Do you talk with your brother about random boners or something? I don't have any brothers, but I sure as hell understand that boys get uncontrollable boners for no apparent reason and that is is normal. Not 'cause I'm seventeen nor 'cause I'm not an idiot, but because I'm pretty sure it's just fucking common knowledge.

Blues fans have been awaiting a collaboration between soul singer Susan Tedeschi and blues guitarist Derek Trucks ever since the pair got married in 2001. Each possesses a beautifully honed talent, and, upon hearing of their plans to hit the road together, fans of each have begun to detect the quiet ticking of pure musical dynamite.
Derek Trucks is a blues version of the NBA's Lebron James— a slide-guitar prodigy who plays like the legendary Duane Allman. Trucks, now 28, was already sitting in with the Allman Brothers in his teens (he's the nephew of the band's longtime drummer, Butch Trucks), and he joined the group in 1999 at the tender age of 20. That same year, he bailed out Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh, stepping in as a last-minute replacement guitarist for the legend's fall tour. Tedeschi, 36, was already a rising blues star in her own right when she met Trucks in 1999. Her vocals contain a bluesy soul that your average American Idol contender can only dream of possessing.
Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi's Soul Stew Revival
16 Jun 2007: The Fillmore San Francisco, CA
Together at last and on tour, Trucks and Tedeschi hit the Fillmore with a group of superb musicians: Trucks' band, Tedeschi's saxophonist, and (an up-and-comer in his own right) Trucks' 18-year-old brother, Duane, on the second drum kit. From the moment the band hit the stage and Tedeschi sang her first note, it was apparent that this collaboration has something special going on. Tedeschi commanded the stage from the get-go with down-to-earth beauty and charisma, while Trucks' incendiary guitar playing got jaws dropping.
While The Soul Stew Revival's repertoire was primarily drawn from the artists' individual catalogues, it also included a number of well-chosen blues classics. The band opened with "I Wish I Knew," a mid-tempo showcase for Tedeschi's smoky vocals that featured a flute solo by keyboardist Kofi Burbridge and great sax work by Ron Holloway. The band revved up by the end of the tune, as Trucks, bassist Todd Smallie, drummers Yonrico Scott and Duane Trucks, and percussionist Count M'Butu—all synched from the start—kicked things into high gear.
Susan Tedeschi
"Little by Little" started off as a standard blues shuffle, then turned into a showcase for Trucks' Duane Allman-caliber genius. Things really started to heat up when the band threw down "Tell the Truth" from Eric Clapton's 1970 "Derek and the Dominoes" album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs—an all-time classic that, appropriately, featured Duane Allman on slide guitar. Vocalist Mike Mattison, from Trucks' touring band as well as opening act Scrapomatic, contributed his own deeply soulful vocals as he and Tedeschi traded verses, each knocking out his fair share of rich harmonies. Trucks, meanwhile, shined on his own, dropping inspired slide-guitar fills throughout the song. The energy was palpable.
Tedeschi and Trucks performed Robert Johnson's "Walking Blues" as an acoustic duo, conjuring the image of Tedeschi living in a past life as part of Johnson's entourage. Likewise, on Howling Wolf's "Meet Me in the Bottom," Tedeschi continued to belt it out while Trucks' slide playing evoked the feel of a bygone era that belied his youthful looks.
Explosive blues rocker "Coming Home"—another Clapton tune— brought the whole band together again. Tedeschi and Mattison's harmonies stayed close to the song's original form, while the rhythm section surged with energy, and Trucks unleashed absolutely scintillating fretwork.
With the crowd in the palm of its hand, the band launched into jazz standard "My Favorite Things." Tedeschi stepped away form the stage, leaving the musicians to mimic the John Coltrane version of the song before exploding into another tremendously high-powered jam. Trucks demonstrated that his chops go well beyond the blues, while Burbridge offered more stellar flute work.
Tedeschi returned to lead the band through Stevie Wonder's "Sugar," a funky soul groove that gave her a chance to shine like the soul supernova that she is. As things began to wind down, Trucks approached Tedeschi and led the unit in a stop-on-a-dime swing into Wonder's "Do Yourself a Favor"—a down-and-dirty funk jam with political overtones: "Do yourself a favor/ Educate your mind/ Get yourself together/ Hey there ain't much time." Tedeschi and Mattison traded bluesy vocals, Burbridge threw down a killer electric piano solo, and Trucks took over to lead yet another turbo-charged jam.
The Soul Stew Revival was riding a serious wave now, hot off of four straight monster jams. The band took a well-deserved breather, then returned to close the set with "The Feeling Music Brings," a feel-good original that ended the set triumphantly.
Tedeschi started the encore off with a solo version of Ray LaMontagne's "Shelter." The band came back for "Gonna Move." It would have been a night to remember if they'd ended the show right there, but in a move to push the show ridiculously over the top, the band dipped back into the Eric Clapton/Duane Allman/Derek and the Dominoes bag with "Anyday"—one of the great romantic rockers of all time. The Fillmore roof was raised yet again as the band jammed on and on.
This was quite simply as good as blues rock gets in 2007. The hooting and hollering between songs was reminiscent of past Fillmore shows by blues legends like Buddy Guy and John Lee Hooker—a testament to the true talent and authenticity possessed by both Trucks and Tedeschi. If your soul isn't revived by this band, either you're not really into the blues, or it's time to check your pulse.

New Report: Milwaukee Has Most Expensive Health Insurance in Wisconsin
Milwaukee consumers pay $2,221 more than Madison for a single policy
Milwaukee: Citizen Action of Wisconsin released its 10th Annual Wisconsin Health Insurance Cost Ranking report Monday morning on a statewide media call. A full audio recording of the media call can be downloaded here.
The full report includes 11 charts ranking the cities and regions of Wisconsin on health insurance costs, rate of inflation, and quality, and can be downloaded here.
This year's report finds wide disparities between higher and lower cost regions of Wisconsin, as well as large differences in the rate of health insurance inflation. There is a 30% variation in the for all types of health insurance for premiums and deductibles between the lowest cost metro area (Madison) and the highest cost area (Milwaukee), which amounts to a difference of $2,221.48 per year for single health coverage.
The magnitude of this gap could have significant economic consequences. The report finds that Wisconsin health insurance premiums for large and medium sized employers have more than tripled since 2000, increasing 216% since the year 2000 statewide, and as much 365% in some areas.
This year's report also finds significant volatility on in the price for health insurance people buy on their own. There is also a $4,470 gap in annual premiums and deductibles between the highest cost area (Wausau) and the lowest cost (Madison) on the individual market.
The report recommends that policymakers in Madison make controlling health care costs a more central focus. The report notes that making better use of all the tools available under the Affordable Care Act, such as taking enhanced dollars for BadgerCare and implementing more robust health insurance rate review could begin the process of moderating health insurance premiums in Wisconsin. Other reforms which go beyond the Affordable Care Act such as more strictly regulating excessive prescription drug prices and surprise medical bills would also lower consumer costs.
"The striking numbers in this report make it clear that state policymakers need to move beyond the divisive debate over the Affordable Care Act and put a sharp focus on health care costs," said Robert Kraig, the report lead author and the Executive Director of Citizen Action of Wisconsin. "Wisconsin workers and families will not have full control of their own health care decisions until we get health care costs under control."
Key Findings: Wisconsin Health Insurance Cost Ranking 2016
- Wisconsin Health Care Hyperinflation is a Long Term Trend. Wisconsin large group health insurance costs (premiums and deductibles) have more than tripled since the year 2000, increasing 216% statewide, with regional rates of inflation varying between a low of 170% in Madison to highs of 365% in Green Bay, 254% in Oshkosh, 247% in Appleton, and 226% in Milwaukee, for benefits packages that is less generous.
- Southeastern and Central Wisconsin are Highest Cost Areas, Madison is Lower Cost. According to a new composite measure which combines all types of health insurance, Milwaukee, Racine, Wausau, have the highest costs in Wisconsin while Madison has the lowest.
- Regional Cost Disparities Persist. There continue to be wide cost variations between higher and lower cost areas of the state. The cost variation is even higher in our composite index for all types of health insurance than they are in the large group market. There is a 30% cost variation between the highest cost metro area (Milwaukee) and the lowest cost metro area (Madison), which amounts to a $2,221.48 difference for a single policy each year.
- Regional Cost Disparities Are Greatest on the Individual Market. Although there are large regional cost variations for all types of insurance, the biggest disparities are in the individual market. The highest cost areas (Wausau, Stevens Point, Wisconsin Rapids, and Marshfield) are an astounding 69% higher than the lowest cost areas (Madison, Appleton, and Janesville/Beloit). This amounts to a gap of $4,470 per year for individual coverage.
- Disparities within Regions Suggest Underlying Medical Costs are Not the Only Driver of Insurance Costs. Insurers often claim that their prices merely reflect medical costs. However, there are major variations in relative cost within regions for different types of insurance. This suggest that the numbers measure not only underlying medical costs but also distortions in the insurance market. For example, the Fox Valley has above average insurance rates in large group insurance and well below average rates in the individual and small group markets. Wausau has very high costs for large group and individual market insurance, but relatively low costs in small group. Madison is not nearly as low in the small group market as it is for the other types of insurance. Eau Claire is high in all employer-based insurance, but below average on the individual market.
- Individual Market Costs Increased Substantially Statewide. There was a 28% increase statewide in premiums and deductibles combined from 2015-2016 .
- Striking Price Volatility on the Individual Market in a Major Policy Concern. Some metro areas had very large increases in cost from 2015 to 2016 while others actually saw reductions. Individual market prices increased by over 69% in Racine, and 60% in Milwaukee, while declining by over 8% in Madison and Janesville/Beloit. This 79% percent spread in inflation rates between Wisconsin cities is a warning sign that insurance rate setting practices may require greater scrutiny.
- Price Volatility is also a Concern on the Small Group Market. Although not as severe as the individual market, there were significant disparities in the rate of inflation between Wisconsin metro areas for small employers. While Green Bay and the Fox Valley saw greater than 10% increases, Stevens Point, Wisconsin Rapids, and Marshfield saw cost reductions of over 12%.
- Cost and Quality are not Correlated. As in past reports, the 2016 report finds that there is no clear correlation between quality and health insurance costs, with some of the low cost areas of the state having higher quality insurance plans and some higher costs areas having lower quality plans.
Additional data and 11 ranking charts ranking each metro area in Wisconsin are available in the full report which can be downloaded here.

Every family has its problems. But even among the most troubled, the Plumb family stands out as spectacularly dysfunctional. Years of simmering tensions finally reach a breaking point on an unseasonably cold afternoon in New York City as Melody, Beatrice, and Jack Plumb gather to confront their charismatic and reckless older brother, Leo, freshly released from rehab. Months earlier, an inebriated Leo got behind the wheel of a car with a nineteen-year-old waitress as his passenger. The ensuing accident has endangered the Plumbs' joint trust fund, "The Nest," which they are months away from finally receiving. Meant by their deceased father to be a modest mid-life supplement, the Plumb siblings have watched The Nest's value soar along with the stock market and have been counting on the money to solve a number of self-inflicted problems.
Melody, a wife and mother in an upscale suburb, has an unwieldy mortgage and looming college tuition for her twin teenage daughters. Jack, an antiques dealer, has secretly borrowed against the beach cottage he shares with his husband, Walker, to keep his store open. And Bea, a once-promising short-story writer, just can't seem to finish her overdue novel. Can Leo rescue his siblings and, by extension, the people they love? Or will everyone need to reimagine the futures they've envisioned? Brought together as never before, Leo, Melody, Jack, and Beatrice must grapple with old resentments, present-day truths, and the significant emotional and financial toll of the accident, as well as finally acknowledge the choices they have made in their own lives.
This is a story about the power of family, the possibilities of friendship, the ways we depend upon one another and the ways we let one another down. In this tender, entertaining, and deftly written debut, Sweeney brings a remarkable cast of characters to life to illuminate what money does to relationships, what happens to our ambitions over the course of time, and the fraught yet unbreakable ties we share with those we love.
Publishers Weekly® Reviews

- Review Date: 2016-01-04
- Reviewer: Staff
As four middle-aged Plumb siblings—Leo, Beatrice, Jack, and Melody—await the distribution of the trust fund their father had established for them as just an extra dividend in what he assumed would be their financially comfortable lives, they find themselves in dire economic straits. Unfortunately, the Nest (as they call the trust fund) had been used to settle the medical bills for a young woman who was badly injured when an inebriated Leo crashed his Porsche while they were inside it and getting intimate. Already a sadly dysfunctional family, the siblings plan to confront Leo. In a clever touch that reveals their hopes and desperation, each secretly has a drink in a different Manhattan bar before they convene to hear Leo swear he will get his act together and pay back the money. That Leo can't be trusted is evident to the reader right away, but his segue into a meaningful domestic relationship with a literary agent seems hopeful. Meanwhile, his siblings try to avoid other financial crises, brought on by their own irresponsible behavior. Jack can't repay the loans he has kept secret from his husband; Melody won't be able to meet the mortgage payments on her home or forthcoming college tuition for her twin daughters; Bea has been forced to return the advance on the second novel she cannot write. In her debut, Sweeney spins a fast-moving, often-humorous narrative, and her portrait of each sibling is compassionate even as she reveals their foibles with emotional clarity. She sets scenes among iconic Manhattan watering places, capturing the tempo of various neighborhoods. Her writing is assured, energetic, and adroitly plotted, sweeping the reader along through an engrossing narrative that endears readers to the Plumb family for their essential humanity. Agent: Henry Dunow, Dunow, Carlson & Lerner. (Mar.)
An uneasy family reunion
Readers who devour quirky family dramas like Where'd You Go, Bernadette and Be Frank With Me won't want to miss this anticipated debut about a dysfunctional New York City family. In The Nest, the four adult Plumb children have been counting on their inheritance: Melody has two daughters to send to college, Jack needs some cash to keep his struggling business afloat, and Beatrice is years overdue with her second novel. But when their fresh-out-of-rehab oldest brother, Leo, loses it all, the siblings must reshape their futures.
Author Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney worked as a marketing copywriter before turning to fiction. She's at her best when describing the fluctuating sibling bonds within a large family—the uneasy alliances, the simmering resentments, the unspoken secrets and the fierce love. She also nails the ways the money can affect relationships, in ways large and small. Smart, moving and warm-hearted, The Nest is a debut to savor.

Riverside (third day of four) Somerset, with ten second-innings wickets in hand, are 107 runs ahead of Durham
Durham, arguably the best seam-bowling side in the championship, have allowed Somerset to reach 352 for eight, after which the visiting team's more modest attack restricted the home side to 261. A 7-4 advantage to Somerset in bonus points feels about right, but a boxing judge might even have had it at a bigger margin.
Yesterday, Durham were 145 for six in mid-afternoon after a number of dismissals that hinted at minds distracted by Twenty20. The follow-on was avoided thanks to a unflustered and positive tail, led by Liam Plunkett's 52. Useful stands involved Phil Mustard, who made 32, and

1950s style all the way!! Loops of cream beads and cream sequins cover this unique barrel-shaped purse. The beaded handles and bead zipper attachment add to the decorative design. Open the zipper to find a clean cream silk lining. Tag inside says Made in Hong Kong. Exclusively For La Regale. There is some bead loss on the ends of this purse but it doesn't detract from the beauty of this one-of-a-kind bag. The inside is clean. Measures 9 1/4" wide by 3 1/2" high. Looks the same front and back.
