How to buy individual health insurance
How to navigate the new world of health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
Tobacco surcharge: Smoking just got very expensive
The Affordable Care Act allows only four factors to increase your health insurance premium. Tobacco is a big one. A smoker surcharge can be costly.
Retiring abroad? Here's what happens to your long-term care insurance when you move
Long-term care policies may offer some coverage for care should you move abroad. You need to consider that their payouts are likely to be far less generous in length and amount.
Health insurance upheaval
That's why health insurance remains the top-ranked job benefit among employees. In a recent Ask.com survey, in fact, 60 percent of Americans said they'd rather spend a night in jail than lose job-based health insurance and other benefits.
But what if you don't have coverage through an employer? Then join the club -- you're among the growing number of folks who have to buy health insurance on their own. The percentage of Americans under age 65 without employer-sponsored health insurance has fallen steadily in the last decade. In 2011, the portion hit 58 percent, down from 69 percent in 2000, according to the Economic Policy Institute.
One thing holds true, though, regardless of how you buy coverage. You need to understand how health insurance works, what it covers and doesn't cover and how the health insurance market soon will change.
You must buy health insurance in 2014Since Congress passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in 2010, many new rules already have gone into effect and even bigger ones lie ahead.
Starting in 2014:
- Almost everyone will be required to have health insurance. You could pay a tax penalty if you don't have coverage.
- More people will qualify for Medicaid, the federal and state health insurance program for low-income people.
- Many lower- to moderate-income people who don't qualify for Medicaid will get tax credits to help them afford health insurance.
- Health insurers will no longer be able to charge higher premiums or deny coverage for people who are sick or have health conditions, including pregnancy.
- State health insurance marketplaces, called exchanges, will open. The landscape of exchanges is complex. Some states plan to run their own exchanges; others are doing so in a federal-state partnership. And states that make no plans will default to federally run exchanges. The National Conference of State Legislatures has information about implementation in each state.
- You'll be able to buy health plans through the exchanges, or directly from insurers, through health insurance agents or through insurance-comparison websites.
- All individual health plans will have to provide certain benefits, such as maternity and newborn care, preventive services, hospitalization and emergency services. Plans will be standardized, so it's easier to compare them.
Buying health insurance right nowUntil 2014, if you aren't lucky enough to have group health insurance through work, you shouldn't wait until you get sick or pregnant to shop for an individual health plan.
When shopping for an individual health plan or choosing a plan among those offered by an employer, you should think about your health care needs and then compare plans according to their benefits and costs.
Employer-sponsored group plans can't exclude coverage for pre-existing conditions if you've maintained health insurance coverage for the last 12 months, with no gaps of 63 days or more. Read more about HIPAA: Your rights to health insurance portability.
Premiums depend on how a plan is designed. Generally the higher your out-of-pocket costs, such as deductibles, copayments and co-insurance, the lower the annual premium is.
For individual health plans, premiums vary according to your age, health condition and whether you smoke. See these 12 ways to lower your health insurance premiums. Group health plans can't charge a particular person more based on his or her health conditions or age, but the overall health and age of your "group" at work will influence premiums for everyone.
Understand how the plans work before you choose one. What services are covered? Does the plan include a network of providers? If so, make sure your doctors are in the network and that the network includes a healthy array of hospitals, primary care doctors and specialists. You will pay more for care outside than inside the plan's provider network. For more on the different types of plans, see health insurance basics.
Finding the right health insurance plan means weighing costs and benefits of each plan and then choosing the most suitable one. Only you can decide which mix of flexibility, services and costs fit your needs.

Five Great Gretsch Rock Albums of the 1980s
Posted: September 20, 2012
Gretsch electric guitars loomed large in the 1950s with original-era rock 'n' roll and rockabilly; even larger in the 1960s with the British Invasion. They were certainly still around during the musically tumultuous 1970s, although you did have to look a little harder. And then the 1980s arrived.
The 1980s. That was the decade when Gretsch guitars came roaring back in ways both traditional and unexpected, as post-punk, new wave, the rockabilly revival and other fast-proliferating subgenres blasted their way to the forefront of popular music on both sides of the Atlantic. Below, in chronological order, are five fine albums you can thank for that happy development. And we're not just talking about a Gretsch guitar appearing on a song or two—we're talking about entire albums that are scorching, swinging, soaring and singing examples of Gretsch guitar artistry all the way through from first track to last …

CONCORD, N.C. – The World Karting Association Vega Tire / TS Racing Road Racing Series driven by Mazda renewed its 2012 season this past weekend at Carolina Motorsports Park, where the Johnny Jacumin Memorial took center stage at CMP's 2.3-mile road course.
This year's Johnny Jacumin Memorial marked the 13th year in a row WKA's enduro-style national series ran a spring event at Kershaw. Just over 230 entries hit the track between Saturday and Sunday after a good turnout for Friday practice. While the overall entry count didn't reach the target of 250 or higher, the turnout was the best it's been at Kershaw since 2008.
Eight rounds of practice went off Friday before it rained Friday night. A wet track delayed the start of practice Saturday and forced race officials Brandon Taylor, Jerry Echols and Billy Shaw to cut enduro races to 35 minutes and sprint contests to 25. More wet weather threatened the Kershaw area throughout Saturday but held off until late in the day and, thankfully, after Road Racing and Manufacturers Cup races had been completed.
Sunday saw full-length events for all race groups. Events were complete by around 4 p.m., allowing road racers to load up and hit the highway with a few hours of daylight left for their treks home.
Courtney Atkinson was the weekend's top winner for yet another time in her illustrious Road Racing career. The Wisconsin racer, who was honored as a 2011 Triple Crown champion at Saturday night's Road Racing Awards Ceremony, captured an unprecedented six race victories. Atkinson won every class she entered and put herself in terrific position to notch another Triple Crown championship.
Aaron Snyder, who also was awarded at the weekend's Awards Ceremony as a 2011 Triple Crown titlist, wheeled his Energy TaG kart to three race wins. Snyder was the only triple winner on the Road Racing side of the action.
Double national winners comprised Randy Fulks, Lance Yunck, Tiffany McCollum, Chris Kuley, J.C. Sanders, Kelly Lawrence, Zachary Linsell, Brian Morse and Adam Myers.
Here's a rundown of the 13 class groups that went off Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday Race 1
The weekend's first race saw shifter karts take over CMP's 2.3-mile course. 2011 double national champ Steven Rougeou was the class of the field in CIK 125 Shifter 1. The Louisiana Birel racer dominated the 25-minute affair, racing out to a 48-second lead over Noah Stark before the checkers waved. Stark crossed the stripe about six seconds in front of Richard White. Don Santini was only a handful of kart-lengths back of White in fourth. Ohio's Chad Donner rounded out the top five.
John Sullivan and Phillip Davis waged a spirited battle for the win in WKA 125 Shifter 1. The race saw Sullivan nip Davis by just 0.013 seconds. Bryan Blair was third and 2011 double national champion Stephen Flatt fourth after dropping out early in the event.
Only two karts started Spec 125 TaG 1. Aaron Snyder won by a healthy margin over Adrian Dale.
Saturday Race 2
Laydown enduros were on the card for Saturday's second event. Eight racers started the Sleeper Racing Team 100cc Controlled Spec 1 main. Sean O'Shea led the opening laps on his blue Coyote until Randy Fulks wheeled his CKI past the Massachusetts veteran. Fulks pulled out to a 7.6-second win over O'Shea in the 35-minute race. O'Shea finished well ahead of Brandon Fry to take the runner-up spot. Scott Goodman was fourth and Jim Fry completed the top five.
Courtney Atkinson won her first race of the weekend in this group. Atkinson raced her Emmick enduro to a dominating win in Yamaha Sportsman Lite, finishing nearly 40 seconds ahead of Florida's Lance Yunck. Ryley Howe took third as he continues his strong rookie season in the senior ranks. Series regular Fran Mazzucotelli was fourth and Joe Dempsey fifth.
Adam Myers scored the triumph in 100cc Pipe Heavy. Myers bested Arthur McKenny by a 20-second margin. William Anderson was third, Donald Axe fourth and Jim McMurray fifth.
Brian Morse won his first of two races. Morse captured the 100cc Controlled win over Don Chrzan and Michael Tracy.
Saturday Race 3
Home state racer Robert Garland earned a big victory in Hoosier Racing Tire Animal Sprint 385. Garland bested 10 other entrants in the race, the closest being Dennis Smith, who finished 5.5 seconds back of the winner. Bill Lewis was third, Steve Johnson fourth and James Finn fifth.
Zachary Linsell raced uncontested to his first win of the weekend. The Pennsylvania racer won the Hoosier Racing Tire Animal Sprint 335 affair over Vince Hargrove and Ben Thomason.
Courtney Atkinson won not one, but two races in the weekend's third group. Atkinson ran dual transponders on her CKT sprint-enduro, a legal action by the WKA Tech Manual, and won AM Motorsports Yamaha Sprint Lite and Heiser Trailer Leasing Yamaha Sportsman Sprint Final 1.
The Wisconsin racer, who ran the Sportsman pipe and started 15 seconds after the Yamaha Sprint class, raced past John Jezierski and Jimmy Duguay to take the lead and the win in Yamaha Sprint Lite. Derek Somers and Michael Holman finished second and third in Yamaha Sportsman Sprint, each about 35 seconds back of Atkinson.
Aaron Snyder won his second race of the day in a close DRT Racing TaG Final 1 race with his father, Jim Snyder. A. Snyder bested Jim by a mere 0.052 seconds on his father's birthday. Donald Nelson finished third.
Dick Charest won the Classic Vintage local option and Gary Baker was the winner of the Open Sprint 1 local option.
Saturday Race 4
Nine shifters started Stock Honda 1 and DRT Racing driver Tiffany McCollum had an easy time of it after Ryan Petty retired five minutes into the race. McCollum pulled her DR Kart out to a 9.7-second lead before the checkers waved. David Harding was second, Ross Kasner third, Phillip Davis fourth and John Sullivan fifth.
Tennessee's Kelly Lawrence bested Wisconsin's Michael Lattos in Unlimited Final 1. Lawrence set a fast time of 1:43.156 in his 125cc-powered enduro on his way to the triumph.
Saturday Race 5
Veteran enduro karter Tim Linthicum scored the win in Yamaha Sportsman Heavy. Linthicum took advantage of Richard Marz retiring from the event late in the race to overtake him and garner his first victory of the season. Linthicum finished well ahead of second-place Bob Anderson. Paul Smith was third, Ben Morris fourth and Marz was credited with fifth.
J.C. Sanders was the only entrant in Jr Enduro Lite. Sanders set a fast time of 2:11.739 around CMP's road course to take the victory.
Saturday Race 6
Courtney Atkinson's fourth win of the day came in a class she had never raced before this past weekend, WKA Sprint 1. Atkinson strapped a Komet K-71 on her sprint-enduro for the first time ever and proceeded to win by a comfortable 24-second margin over defending class national champion Adam Myers. New York's Charlie Tustison made his return to the series and took third. Guy Brown was fourth.
Walter "Jeff" Troup won a tight Stock Leopard Final 1 race over Streeter Super Stands' Jeff Wesell. Troup crossed the stripe just 0.423 seconds in front of Wesell for his first national win of the year. Don Nelson was third and Aamir Hyder fourth.
Austin Wohlford had the field covered in Animal Limited Modified 360. Wohlford won by nearly 15 seconds over defending class national champion Dennis Smith. Charles Wilbur was third and Dominic Greco fourth.
North Carolina's Chris Kuley showed the way in Animal Jr Sprint Lite. Kuley won by a comfortable margin over Coyote pilot Will Delaney. Defending class champion Brent Hadden was third.
Joe Cuslidge won the Clone 385 local option over Steve Jeffers. It was good to see Jeffers back in action after his serious shoulder injury at last summer's VIR national.
Robert Garland bested Larry Palmer by a mere 0.281-second gap in the LO206 385 local option.
Saturday Race 7
The day's final race saw the laydown enduros back on the speedway, which saw a pair of "Lance's" score feature victories.
Lance Fry was a late entrant in KALL Racing Formula 100 Final 1 and proceeded to race his CKI to victory in the six-kart affair. Fry won over Brian Morse, effectively denying Morse of his second win of the day. Defending class champion Don Chrzan was third, Paul Wyzga fourth and Bill Miller fifth.
Lance Yunck strapped a pipe on his Yamaha-powered enduro for one of the first times and drove to victory in Dart Kart Club 100cc Yamaha Medium. Yunck earned the victory by a 17.6-second margin over Ohio's Mallory Davis. Don Harrod was third, Arthur McKenny fourth and Fran Mazzucotelli fifth.
Michael Lattos and Kelly Lawrence swapped positions in Formula 125 from their morning Unlimited finish. Lattos scored the victory in this one over Lawrence.
Scott Goodman was the only entrant in B Stock. Goodman made seven laps before retiring and earned the victory.
Sunday Race 1
Sunday's opening event went off before the mandatory one-hour quiet time. Nine starters made up another strong 100cc Controlled Spec field, which saw Randy Fulks waste no time taking the lead from Sean O'Shea. Fulks pulled out to a big advantage over O'Shea and the rest of the field to capture his second win of the weekend and a sweep of the Controlled Spec classes.
O'Shea had a mirror full of Fry Racing laydowns throughout the 45-minute contest. While the Frys moved in on O'Shea's blue Coyote several times, the Massachusetts racer was able to fend them off down the stretch to finish second for the second day in succession. Veteran Jim Fry, who's in the midst of his 50th year of karting, bested both of his sons to take third. Lance Fry was fourth and Brandon Fry fifth.
Courtney Atkinson pulled out to a 21-second advantage over Ryley Howe to win Competition Karting Inc. Yamaha Sportsman Medium. The triumph marked Courtney's fifth of the weekend. Howe was about eight seconds ahead of third-place finisher Lance Yunck. Fran Mazzucotelli was fourth and Paul Smith fifth.
While his son, Jamie, was in Fontana, Calif., preparing for another NASCAR Sprint Cup event, Jim McMurray was on the opposite coast and strapping into his laydown-enduro ready to challenge for a Dart Kart Club100cc Pipe Medium victory. McMurray not only challenged for the win, but he dominated the 45-minute race, finishing well ahead of Adam Myers and Mallory Davis, who both ran into problems in the event.
J.C. Sanders was the only entrant in Jr Enduro Heavy. Sanders completed the 45-minute race to take his second win in two days.
Sunday Race 2
DRT Racing driver Brian Fisher was a late entrant in CIK 125 Shifter 2 and waged a terrific battle with Saturday CIK Shifter winner Steven Rougeou. The pair raced hard throughout the 30-minute go before Fisher made a last-turn pass on Rougeou in lap traffic to score the victory. Noah Stark was third, Chad Donner fourth and Doug Dodge fifth.
Bryan Blair denied John Sullivan of a sweep of the WKA 125 Shifter divisions with his win in the Sunday version of the class. Blair crossed the checkers less than one second ahead of Sullivan for the score. Series regular Phillip Davis was third, Mike Wallace fourth and Bill Wallace fifth.
Spec 125 TaG 2 saw the same result as Saturday with Aaron Snyder finishing well ahead of Adrian Dale for his third victory of the weekend.
Sunday Race 3
Adam Myers won his second race of the weekend in this group with the WKA Sprint Final 2 victory over Charlie Tustison and Guy Brown. Myers set a fast lap of 1:53.732 on his way to the triumph.
Jeff Wesell battled hard with Don Nelson throughout the first half of the Stock Leopard Final 2 affair. Wesell ended up pulling away aboard his white No. 9 Merlin to take the national triumph by an 11-second gap over Nelson. Saturday winner Jeff Troup couldn't find the same speed on Sunday and ended up over 21 seconds back of the winner in third.
Dennis Smith took advantage of Zachary Linsell dropping out of Animal Limited Modified 360 just past halfway to take his one and only win of the weekend. Smith was the only driver of five entrants still running at the finish. Linsell was credited with second, Charles Wilbur third, Dominic Greco fourth and Joe Kuley fifth.
Chris Kuley made it a clean sweep of the Animal Jr Sprint category with his Sunday win in Animal Jr Sprint Heavy. Kuley dominated the event and finished over a minute ahead of Brent Hadden and Will Delaney, who swapped positions from Saturday's final running order.
Steve Jeffers won the Clone 360 local option. Joe Cuslidge won the Clone 410 local option and Larry Palmer was victorious over Robert Garland in the LO206 360 local option.
Sunday Race 4
Lance Yunck made it look easy in 100cc Yamaha Heavy for his second triumph at Kershaw. Yunck won by over a minute margin over Arthur McKenny, who crossed the stripe just ahead of William Anderson after a good battle for the runner-up position. Donald Axe was fourth and Adam Myers fifth in the eight-kart field.
Brian Morse claimed his second win of the weekend in Formula 100 Final 2. Morse took advantage of defending champion Don Chrzan retiring around the halfway mark to drive to a comfortable victory. Chrzan was credited with second, Michael Tracy third and Paul Wyzga fourth.
Sunday Race 5
Tiffany McCollum again proved she's a force to be reckoned with in the Stock Honda ranks. McCollum won her second race of the weekend in Stock Honda 2 and completed the sweep of the division.
In one of the best races of the weekend, McCollum won after a lively battle with runner-up Ryan Petty, third-place David Harding and fourth-place Tyler Guilbeault. Only 0.278 seconds separated first through fourth in the outstanding race. John Sullivan was eight seconds back in fifth.
Kelly Lawrence scored his second win of the weekend by a cool 24-second gap in Unlimited Final 2 over Michael Lattos.
Sunday Race 6
Zachary Linsell was victorious for the second time of the weekend in the event's final race. Linsell wheeled his MGM to the triumph in Southern Kart Club Animal Sprint 360 by 15 seconds over Dennis Smith. Vince Hargrove was third, Ben Thomason fourth and Bill Lewis fifth.
WKA Gold Cup Series regular Tyler Sandmeyer raced an MGM sprint-enduro for the first time ever at Kershaw and proceeded to win Animal Sprint 410. However, Sandmeyer did not made the minimum weight and handed the win to MGM owner Paul Rice. Saturday Animal Sprint 385 victor Robert Garland was second, Steve Johnson third, Harrison Walker fourth and Ben Morris fifth.
Don Nelson won TaG Final 2 over Emmitt Rodriguez. Nelson set a fast time of 1:57.538 on his way to the triumph.
Gary Baker won over William Evans in the Open Sprint 2 local option.
Much appreciation goes out to the fine officials, workers, volunteers and everyone who helped make the Johnny Jacumin Memorial and smooth and successful event.
Next up for the WKA National Road Racing Series is trip to Michigan for the Dart Kart Club-hosted May 18-20 Grattan Nationals at the popular Grattan Raceway. The event marks the first WKA national event at Grattan since 2006, and it's primed to be a good one with the fine folks at the Dart Kart Club behind the helm.

A:Retread is a thicker consistency then our other conditioners, but it's also one of our most popular. This is a great option for all hair types and I think you'll really enjoy it!Answered on 5/26/2015 by Alexander from Lush Direct
A:I would say yes, it should do the trick.
I haven't used it in a while, but I remember that I really liked it and used the entire tub.

Q:I bought retread thinking that it could be a wonderful moisturizing conditioner since i have dry hair, but immediately i applied it i had the feeling that it wasn't moisturizing my hair at all, but i confirmed it after, my hair was so tangled and dry. Is that normal with this conditioner? Let me know, thanks. I am going to continue using it because i have too but if it continue like that would be a really disappointing :(Asked on 5/6/2015 by sher
5 answers
A:I had the same problem when I used it for the first time. The problem you're having may simply be a matter of timing. If you leave it in a little longer (say, while you're washing up, shaving, washing your face, ect) it should work perfectly! If not, you could try rubbing a tiny bit on your hands once you're out, then comb it through your hair, almost like a leave-in conditioner. Remember, it takes only a bit! Hopefully this helps. :)Answered on 7/12/2015 by Shelby Lynn from Houston, Tx
A:I have personally never had any problems with this conditioner. I always
start with a moisturizing and exfoliating shampoo to start work on my hair
in the shower. After the shampoo, I apply this liberally and use my hards
to roughly comb through my hair removing any kinks or tangles that I might
have missed when shampooing. As far as moisture is concerned, give their
Jungle solid conditioner a shot if this is not effective enoughAnswered on 5/11/2015 by Anonymous
A:My hair is very long, curly and dry as well and I thought Retread would work really well but it didn't rinse out of my hair very well and did not condition it as much as I would have liked. I ended up using the rest of mine as a shaving balm for my legs. I have not had much luck with Lush's conditioners but I do love their bath stuff and face toners! I tried the banana conditioner too and it did not leave my hair soft.

A:I wish I knew what kind of hair you had but this product is amazing for mine.( I have nice curly brown hair) I use a hair mask (roots) and then follow up with shampoo (rehab) and finish with conditioner (retread). This is an expensive product so I don't use it daily I use it when my hair is need of some extra attention. I use a good amount and let it sit for a while in my hair. I usually use this for my baths only because I can keep my hair away from the water for longer periods of time. after I use all these products together I had calm natural bouncy curls that smell of lush!
Ps if you live near a lush you can return this product or call there customer service line they never want you to be unhappy with product and are very accommodating!
Have a wonderful day
Happy lushing!Answered on 5/7/2015 by Ariel from Arizona
A:Our conditioners do not contain silicone, which is the ingredient that traditional conditioners contain to make the hair feel "slippery". For that reason, our conditioners can take a little bit of getting used to for some people! Stick with it for a few more washes and see if you start to like the results, as the ingredients in Retread are super nourishing for the hair!Answered on 5/19/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:How long does this last for someone with shoulder length hair?Asked on 5/6/2015 by Grungens from Kansas

Q:My hair is reasonably fine, but quite curly and dry- I use Curly Wurly and was hoping to be able to use this afterwards but I heard you weren't supposed to use it on limp/lifeless hair because it will "squash it flat". I'm not sure if fine hair comes under limp/lifeless but I just wanted to know if this would weigh down my curls and make them look flat?Asked on 3/30/2015 by Erin
2 answers
A:It should be fine for your hair! However, if you try it and you don't find that it is the right solution for you we have a great return policy. Just make sure to keep your receipt!Answered on 4/5/2015 by Lana from LUSH Direct
A:I am not sure, sorry. I have thicker, coarser hair and was trying to keep it conditioned. It is thick and it is strong and good to deeply condition hair. I can take a thick, strong conditioner, so I cannot say 100% if it would weigh your hair down, but I would say that it is for intensive conditioning needs. Worse comes to worse, you could lightly shampoo your hair after the conditioning if you feel like its too heavy.Answered on 4/1/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Could I keep this conditioner on my hair for an extended amount of time as a treatment? It smells amazing. I needed this in my life.Asked on 1/21/2015 by ManeExpert from Idaho
4 answers
A:You can leave it in for 10 minutes or for a little bit longer as a quick deep conditioner!Answered on 2/14/2015 by Pauline
A:Personally, I don't see why not. But you may want to check with LUSH and
the ingredients label to make sure there's not an ingredient in there that
may damage hair if left on for longer periods of time.Answered on 1/23/2015 by Anonymous
A:Regarding your question, my answer is yes! I happen to use the retread conditioner in a few different ways, but I find that my hair gets more nourishment if I take a shower, and at the end massage retread into my wet hair. I leave it in and hop out, sticking a shower cap on my head, and usually leave the conditioner in for 5-6, or overnight if I am going to sleep, and it works AMAZINGLY well.
Sent from my iPhoneAnswered on 1/21/2015 by Anonymous
A:Yes. What I do as soon as I get in the shower is wash my hair with shampoo,
rinse it out, then apply conditioner. After, as I usually take a long
shower and treat it like a spa, I wash my body, clarisonic my face, maybe
even a body and foot scrub, and then wash the conditioner out last. It ends
up staying in my hair for at least 15 minutes, and you can tell after a few
days that your hair is benefitting from these extended treatments.

Q:Is it supposed to be really liquidy? I can't get any in my hand without wasting a bunch of it by it spilling out.Asked on 12/9/2014 by Jake
5 answers
A:The first batch I purchased was on the more liquid-y side, but my current batch is very thick. However, I've found that added heat and humidity will make it a little runny, so I suggested keeping it out of the bathroom until you need to use it.Answered on 1/8/2015 by Endlessly from Minnesota
A:Hi there! Thanks for your question!
To some degree, yes, it is a bit on the thinner side because one of its main ingredients is natural yogurt.Answered on 12/31/2014 by Anonymous
A:Mine was similar in consistency... unfortunately, that was an issue I had
with the product. Something that helped was dipping my comb into the jar
and running it through my hair to apply instead. I hope that helps.Answered on 12/13/2014 by PaigeIlien from Pierre, South Dakota
A:To a certain degree, yes. It's a bit on the thinner side but it very powerful if you let it sit in. Why it's so running because one of its main ingredients is yogurt. :) if you have curly hair the way this product works Is beyond words.
How I use it:
Get clean dry hands and get a little bit more than a quarter size start from the bottom of your hair and work up. Don't tip the black pot and have it come out you take your dry hand and scoop
It out. Also if you have gotten water in it that's another reason for its runny ness shake it up before use. Hope this helped
Thank you.

A:From my experience it should not be that liquify. The pot I got of it was
pretty thick just like a standard conditioner. All I have to do with mine
is scoop it out kinda like cool whip. I would return it and ask for either
a refund or a proper batch of it.

Q:I've never seen a conditioner with sulfates in it before, since these are used as lathering agents. Is this correct? Is there really sodium lauryl sulfate in this conditioner? If so, why?Asked on 8/14/2014 by Heather
1 answer
A:It is supposed to be in there! Actually, in creams and lotions, it supports the main emulsion system and gives texture to the product.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
Q:Is Retread a deep conditioner? For best results do I use it after shampooing (as a normal conditioner) or only a couple times a week?Asked on 7/17/2014 by happygolush from Colorado
2 answers
A:Retread is a really moisturizing conditioner. Use as a regular conditioner, after shampooing. If it seems a bit too heavy for you, feel free to switch it up and use it once in a while, but if it works then it is totally okay to use every time you wash!Answered on 9/8/2014 by Anonymous
A:Hi! I use Retread every day, after shampooing, as a normal conditioner. I let it sit on my hair for a few minutes before rinsing it out, and I'm very happy with the results!Answered on 7/17/2014 by Anonymous
Q:I have very sad thin dry and over dyed hair and a sensitive scalp/nose. Is this product good for revitalizing my sad locks or is there something better?Asked on 6/27/2014 by Kitty from Las Vegas, NV
3 answers
A:Retread is great for getting your hair back into shape, especially if it has been chemically color-treated. In combination with a hair treatment every so often, you should find that it gives a lot of life back to your hair!Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Hi Kitty,
I also have dry and over dyed hair, but since I've been using either Curly Gurly (the coconut shampoo) or Blousey (the banana shampoo) and Retread, my hair has some body back. Be sure to let the shampoo work into the hair for a few minutes, then rinse and apply Retread. Allow Retread to soak in--I usually use my body wash & face cleanser, then rinse the Retread last. It hasn't worked miracles, I don't think anything can really change your hair texture, but it has restored the health & shine to my hair. Good luck.
DebbieAnswered on 6/30/2014 by Anonymous
A:I have the same hair type as yours! Dry, dead and dyed. I love Retread it definitely gives some life back in my hair without weighing it down. I also recommend using Roots, it's the best your hair will look and feel.

Q:Is this product suitable for color treated hair? I'm talking crazy colors- purple and magenta.Asked on 3/16/2013 by Nomi-omi
2 answers
A:Great Question! Yes the Retread conditioner is safe for color treated hair. The nutrients from the natural yoghurt and the fresh melon will give your hair plenty of moisture without weighing it down and tons of shine with out washing away any color! I highly recommend the Retread conditioner.Answered on 8/20/2013 by Anonymous
A:I can't really say about the crazy colors part, but I color my hair once a month with NaturTint, a permanent, plant-based hair color. I had just colored my hair 5 days before I used Retread and no color came out when I rinsed it from my hair. Plus it seemed to intensify my hair color and make it look like I had just dyed it again. My hair was shiny and smooth after using itAnswered on 4/12/2013 by Ang from Long Beach,CA
Q:When I purchased this product my sales person told me to apply this product to my hair while dry then rinse. Is this the best method?Asked on 9/15/2012 by Karen from Amarillo, Tx
2 answers
A:You can absolutely use Retread on dry hair, but the effects of it won't be reduced if your hair is already wet. Since many of us like to use conditioner right after washing our hair, it's very common to use conditioner on wet hair, and it's perfectly fine!Answered on 11/2/2012 by Brandy from LUSH
A:I was not told that, at least I don't remember it if I was. I have been using this in the shower after using the Rehab shampoo and I do not see a reason to use it on dry hair. (I was told to use the other conditioner with the crazy name on dry hair - and have used that one both ways, both have worked well.)Answered on 10/12/2012 by Melicious from STL, MO
Q:How many uses can I get from one jar? Does it work with blonde dyed hair?Asked on 8/26/2012 by Addy
1 answer
A:The number of uses depends greatly on how much you use with each application, as longer hair may need a little more than shorter hair.
Retread is great for blonde coloured hair, as it will help to seal down the hair's cuticle, and minimize breakage which can occur as a result of colouring.Answered on 8/28/2012 by Megan from LUSH Direct
Q:I have thick, medium longish hair. How many uses can I expect to get out of one pot?Asked on 5/16/2012 by Sie by the Sea from Outer Banks, North Carolina
2 answers
A:If you use it everyday you can get at most get probably a month's worth of use out of the pot. Depending on your application.Answered on 6/20/2012 by P.Y.Tatum from Glendale, CA
A:It all depends on how much you use and how frequently. A little goes a long way so you may get up to 12 washes out of it, but like I say it depends on how often and how much you use.Answered on 8/31/2012 by Anonymous
Q:I am african american,can you use this product daily on dry hair?Asked on 3/6/2012 by Anonymous

The Wilkes County Sheriff's Office informed The Tribune that second degree murder charges were filed against Karen Marie Laws of North Wilkesboro.
Laws was charged on January 7 after an investigation revealed that she had provided prescription narcotics to the 14-year-old victim which resulted in his death, say police.
"This tragic incident is a striking reminder that prescription medication is dangerous and it is your responsibility to maintain control of your medications and not provide those medications to others," said Major David Carson of the department.
The defendant's aunt, Sherry Church, disputes the charge and stated to The Tribune that her niece "shouldn't have been charged and the arrest was a rush to incarcerate.
"She's still without an attorney too," said Church. "She can't afford one."

This is the last of our 30 team previews for the 2013 season. To review any of the previous previews, click here.
From 2002-10, the Minnesota Twins won the AL Central six times. They drafted well, taught their young talent to play fundamentally sound baseball and continually tapped their minor league system.
The past two seasons, however, Minnesota lost 195 combined games while posting last-place finishes. Clearly, some major changes need to be made in this once-proud franchise.
General manager Bill Smith was fired following the 2011 season after a four-year run that was marked by poor trades and unproductive signings. In an effort to revisit the success of the previous decade, the Twins rehired Terry Ryan.
After a year on the job, Ryan still has a lot of work to do.
Buy your Sporting News 2013 Baseball Yearbook now!
It all starts with the pitching—the Twins' staff was the second-worst (4.77 ERA) in the American League last season. The rotation was the central problem, even though Minnesota spent big on Carl Pavano, Scott Baker and Francisco Liriano.
Pavano was 2-5 with a 6.00 ERA before missing the final four months of the season with a shoulder injury. Baker was sidelined the entire year after having Tommy John surgery, and the erratic Liriano was traded to the division rival Chicago White Sox in July.
Having been burned by pricey, unreliable veteran starters, Ryan is rebuilding the Twins' rotation with much younger arms.
Rookie lefthander Scott Diamond led Minnesota with 12 wins and a 3.54 ERA in 173 innings pitched last season.
Ryan traded center fielder Denard Span to the Washington Nationals for Alex Meyer (the 23rd overall pick in 2011). A 6-9 righthander, Meyer has an upper-90s fastball and had 139 strikeouts in 129 innings in Class A last season. Ryan also traded speedy outfielder Ben Revere to the Philadelphia Phillies for Vance Worley and Trevor May.
Worley was 6-9 with a 4.20 ERA in 23 starts last season. In 2011, the righthander was 11-3 with a 3.01 ERA. May, 23, had 151 strikeouts in 149 2/3 innings at Class AA in 2012.
Ryan also added veteran starters in free agents Kevin Correia (12-11 with a 4.21 ERA with the Pittsburgh Pirates last season), and Mike Pelfrey, who missed most of last season after having Tommy John surgery.
Liam Hendriks, Cole De Vries, Sam Deduno, Brian Duensing, Anthony Swarzak, Kyle Gibson and Pedro Hernandez are among the other starting options for longtime manager Ron Gardenhire, who might not survive a third consecutive last-place finish.
In the bullpen, which was a relative bright spot last season, former starter Glen Perkins has found new life as the closer while Jared Burton and Alex Burnett return as solid setup men.
The offense is in better shape than the pitching staff, but Span and Revere were key cogs at the top of the order and will be tough to replace.
Aaron Hicks and Darin Mastroianni are battling for the center-field job. Joe Mauer, Josh Willingham, Justin Morneau and Ryan Doumit return to provide some thunder in the middle of the order.
Willingham led Minnesota with 35 homers and 110 RBIs last season. Although Mauer delivered just 10 homers, he stayed healthy and hit .319 with 85 RBIs. Morneau was also healthy, putting up his best numbers (.267, 19 homers, 77 RBIs) since 2010.

Mr. Dependable: Joe Mauer. He has won an AL MVP Award, four Silver Slugger Awards and three Gold Gloves. After an injury-plagued 2011 season, Mauer again was an elite hitter and an All-Star last season. He hit well in the World Baseball Classic, leaving no reason to doubt he will continue to batter AL pitchers in this season.
X-factor: Vance Worley. The Twins' rotation ranked last in the league in ERA (5.40), strikeouts per nine innings (5.53) and quality starts (62), so Worley must step up. In his disappointing sophomore season, his ERA jumped more than a full run (from 3.01 in 2011 to 4.20 in 2012). Being in a bigger park should help and if he can fix whatever plagued him last season (part of it was injuries), Worley could become a dependable starter.
On deck: Chris Parmelee. He has shown promise and has thumped the ball in the minors, but he hasn't consistently put it all together in the majors. At 25, Parmelee still is young enough to be going through growing pains. And he also still is young enough to burst onto the scene the way Minnesota hoped he would when it drafted him in the first round in 2006.
— Anthony Witrado
OFFENSE: Mauer and Morneau still can get it done from the left side of the plate, and they fit nicely with Willingham and Doumit. With Revere and Span gone, Trevor Plouffe and Hicks must pitch in.
DEFENSE: Revere didn't have much of an arm, and Span was never in Gold Glove consideration. But both covered a lot of ground, and it's difficult to replace speed. Plouffe is shaky at third base.
ROTATION: The days of Johan Santana, Brad Radke and Scott Erickson are gone. The Twins have struggled to develop quality starters, and it has come back to haunt them. Diamond has been thrust into the No. 1 slot, a lot of pressure to put on a young guy.
BULLPEN: Perkins is no Joe Nathan, but he didn't embarrass himself as the closer last season. He received plenty of help from Burton, who should get help from Casey Fien and waiver claim Josh Roenicke.
BENCH: Eduardo Escobar is a skilled defender capable of playing third base, shortstop and second, and Drew Butera is a solid backup catcher. Mastroianni/Hicks will provide outfield depth.
A major league scout analyzes LF Josh Willingham:
"He was a real nice pickup for Minnesota (as a free agent before last season), a good, solid everyday player. He had one of his better offensive years last season and was a solid all-around baseball player. He was a nice piece on a team that had a lot of problems, but his performance and intensity playing the game didn't change much from the start of the season until the end. I wouldn't be shocked if he wound up being moved at the trade deadline if the Twins aren't in the mix. He's got a lot of value."
The cumulative record of the Twins' starters last season was 39-75. The rotation finished last in the AL in wins, ERA, innings pitched, strikeouts and quality starts. It's hard to win many games with such an abysmal showing.
What could go right: The young pitching could come together quicker than expected and help the Twins escape the AL Central cellar.
What could go wrong: If Minnesota fails to develop a leadoff man and No. 2 hitter to replace Span and Revere, who combined for 296 hits and 141 runs last season, it will spell trouble for the offense. Mauer, Willingham, Morneau and Doumit can produce runs, but somebody must get on base in front of them.
Bottom line: Once the undisputed class of the division, Minnesota will continue to struggle as the pitching develops.

Everyone Knows Privacy Is About Power. Now What?
By Ryan Calo on August 15, 2014 at 11:32 pm
In a recent op-ed, author Evgeny Morozov claims that we tend to think of privacy in terms of control over personal information rather than power or influence. "The privacy debate, incapacitated by misplaced pragmatism, defines privacy as individual control over information flows," writes Morozov. Instead we should be thinking of how and why powerful institutions use data to nudge us toward their own economic and political ends. Read more » about Everyone Knows Privacy Is About Power.

Robotics and the New Cyberlaw
By Ryan Calo on March 3, 2014 at 2:14 pm
Cyberlaw is the study of the intersection between law and the Internet. It should come as no surprise, then, that the defining questions of cyberlaw grew out of the Internet's unique characteristics. For instance: an insensitivity to distance led some courts to rethink the nature of jurisdiction. A tendency, perhaps hardwired, among individuals and institutions to think of "cyberspace" as an actual place generated a box of puzzles around the nature of property, privacy, and speech.

ECPA Limitations: Privacy Law and the Cloud
June 17, 2014
The era of cloud computing has introduced unprecedented computing power and convenience to the way we work and live. But the privacy laws that protect the content we stored in the cloud are nearly 30 years old, and were written during a time when the today's capabilities couldn't possibly have been anticipated. As a result, technology has emerged that does not fit within the constraints defined by the law.

In addition to reviewing print and online media, Media Matters monitors at least 150 hours of television and radio each week. This section features highlights (or low-lights) from our monitoring efforts, other noteworthy clips as well as original videos.
In response to the Supreme Court's historic marriage equality ruling, conservative media has endorsed a newly proposed federal bill called the "First Amendment Defense Act" (FADA). Though conservatives have touted FADA as an effort to protect religious liberty, critics warn the bill would undermine the government's ability to combat anti-gay discrimination.Research 1 hour and 20 minutes ago
Conservative media defended Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's recent claim -- that President Obama's negotiated agreement with Iran over its nuclear program will take Israelis "to the door of the oven" -- by praising the Holocaust comparison as "absolutely true" and "an accurate description."Research July 27, 2015 4:52 PM EDT
Media have hailed presidential candidate and Ohio Governor John Kasich as a "moderate," ignoring that as governor he oversaw the shuttering of half of the state's abortion clinics and implemented extreme hurdles to legal abortion in the state.Research July 27, 2015 4:07 PM EDT
En el programa de Univision Al Punto, Jorge Ramos no corrigió el falso alegato del estratega republicano, Lincoln Díaz-Balart, de que Hillary Clinton está siendo investigada criminalmente por el uso de su correo personal mientras servía como Secretaria de Estado. De hecho, el New York Times, el primer medio en reportar el alegato, publicó una corrección y se ha retractado de múltiples aspectos de su historia defectuosa.Research July 27, 2015 3:23 PM EDT
Following last week's mass shooting at a Louisiana movie theater, Republican presidential candidate and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal claimed that because of "tougher laws" in his state, the gunman's mental health record would have been entered into the national background check system, which would have prevented him from legally buying a gun. The New York Times unquestioningly repeated Jindal's claims, even though Louisiana has submitted less than 3 percent of eligible disqualifying mental health records into the system, and Jindal has presided over a weakening of Louisiana's already lax gun laws.Research July 27, 2015 2:13 PM EDT
The New York Times' much-maligned report that originally claimed federal officials were seeking a criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton still contains a major factual error, despite undergoing two rounds of corrections and criticism from its public editor. The report claims, based on anonymous sources, that "two inspectors general" have asked for an investigation into possible mishandling of government information with regard to Clinton's email -- in fact, only one inspector general made such a referral.Research July 27, 2015 1:35 PM EDT

Dominic continues to try and find an in with Sonny, Olivia panics, Jason and Sam look for information on Dominic, Ethan makes demands on Rebecca and Spinelli finally gets the girl.
As they kiss, Olivia pushes Sonny away who assumes she's mad because she couldn't help herself. Olivia tells him that's the last time he will ever kiss her and asks why he's doing this to her. Olivia wants him to find someone else to drive crazy, but Sonny says she's perfect because she's sexy, unpredictable and a pain in his butt. There isn't one thing he doesn't like about her or want. She reminds him he almost married her cousin last year, but he says Kate's better off without him. He says Olivia is different though because she likes messing with trouble. She tells him to leave and he does so, but not before saying it's not over.
Dominic proposes a partnership with professional benefits to Claudia, but she balks. He tells her they both switched sides and now they have to survive, but Claudia says she doesn't have to do anything for him. He tells her Sonny wants him to find out who is disloyal and asks her to help him so they both benefit. Claudia tells him to forget it and that he's on his own.
Jason watches as Sam walks around in her skimpy outfit and then catches her as she trips on her heels while running up the stairs. He sits her down and goes to get her a drink and some ice. She thanks him for catching her and says once again she owes him her life. Jason gets Spinelli's laptop for Sam and she runs a search she learned from Spinelli on Dominic.
On stage, Spinelli freaks out, but Coleman convinces him to select a song. Spinelli chooses "I Want to Know What Love Is" and sounds a little flat, but presses on as Maxie gets up to offer him encouragement. He looks at her and starts to feel more confident. The crowd is won over, as he sings directly to Maxie. Everyone claps as the song ends and he and Maxie kiss.
After his performance, Spinelli tells Maxie she inspired him, but Maxie tells him he is a man of many talents and his singing to her was very romantic. He confesses his plan to use the special microphone and Maxie calls courtly love hot and drags him out of Jake's.
Diane gushes to Max about Spinelli singing for Maxie and calls it gallant. Diane says she's tough and independent and has had to sacrifice chivalry in her life. She tells Max a song can be the ultimate tribute from a man to the woman he loves and Max excuses himself.
On the docks, Rebecca and Nikolas discuss their evening and kiss as Ethan lurks in the shadows. Rebecca sees him and jumps. The launch comes and they go off to Wyndemere.
At home, Patrick thinks they should have won the contest at Jake's and he and Robin playfully discuss how competitive they are before kissing. Robin thinks he's upset because if he was still single, he would be the king of the karaoke bar. He assures her this is the life he wants and she offers to play a game of rock star and groupie. She offers to put on her special boots, but he wants to just jump to the part where she idolizes him.
Dominic meets a guy on the docks and tells him Sonny might hire him. The guy tells him going to Sonny's house was a stupid risk to take, but Dominic says it's what he does best and what the guy does best is dig him out. He explains he needs a name of the rat in the Zacchara organization, but the guy is nervous. He thinks the chances of him pulling this off and getting out alive is slim to none, but he eventually tells Dominic he heard something today.
Sonny comes home to an argument with Claudia who smells Olivia's perfume on him and their fight escalates.
As Coleman closes up Jake's, Max sings a song to Diane, but it's revealed he's lip-syncing. Diane loves the attempt and they dance.
In bed at Wyndemere, Nikolas sleeps while Rebecca sneaks out.
Olivia summons Dante to her place to ask how long he's staying in town. She wonders if he can do his job elsewhere because Port Charles is a bad idea right now and she doesn't want him sticking around. He jokes around with her, but she gets serious and asks him to once in his life do what she tells him to.
Rebecca meets Ethan on the docks to ask why he followed her from Jake's. She thinks he will ruin everything, but Ethan thinks she is becoming too soft on Nikolas. They debate the situation again and Ethan tells her he needs ten grand by noon tomorrow or else he will tell Nikolas everything.
Spinelli and Maxie go home and fall into the door kissing. They find Jason and Sam on the couch and run upstairs. Sam says it looks like Spinelli did something right.
Rebecca returns telling Nikolas she lost an earring on the dock and had to go get it. Nikolas says he doesn't like it when she leaves him.
Dominic comes to Sonny's house and gives him some information about a Zacchara shipment. Sonny says if the tip proves false he will put a bullet in between his eyes, but if it proves true the bullet will miss.
As Jason and Sam look for info on Dominic, they hear things crashing in Spinelli's room and Sam laughs as the sounds distract her. Sam thinks it's sweet because they've waited so long to be together.
Upstairs, Maxie and Spinelli get intimate and he carries her to his bed where they continue to kiss and undress and ultimately have sex. Afterwards, they tell each other they love each other.

About half of my peppers were too small for the holes so I covered the tray with aluminum foil and poked holes in it- this worked but I didn't expect to have to do this. Also, the bottoms of the pepper were cooked perfectly but the tops which were above the tray were barely cooked.
