A glove (Middle English from Old English glof) is a type of garment (and more specifically a fashion accessory) which covers the hand of a human. Gloves have separate sheaths or openings for each finger and the thumb; if there is an opening but no covering sheath for each finger they are called "fingerless gloves". Fingerless gloves with one large opening rather than individual openings for each finger are sometimes called gauntlets. Gloves which cover the entire hand but do not have separate finger openings or sheaths are called mittens. Mittens are almost always warmer than gloves made of the same material because fingers maintain their warmth better when they are in contact with each other. As well, the reduced surface area means that there is less heat loss.
There is also a hybrid of glove and mitten which contains open-ended sheaths for the four fingers (as in a fingerless glove, but not the thumb) and also an additional compartment encapsulating the four fingers as a mitten would. This compartment can be lifted off the fingers and folded back to allow the individual fingers ease of movement and access while the hand remains covered. The usual design is for the mitten cavity to be stitched onto the back of the fingerless glove only, allowing it to be flipped over (normally held back by Velcro or a button) to transform the garment from a mitten to a glove.
Gloves can serve to protect and comfort the hands of the wearer against cold or heat, physical damage by friction, abrasion or chemicals, and disease; or in turn to provide a guard for what a bare hand should not touch. Latex, nitrile rubber or vinyl disposable gloves are often worn by health care professionals as hygiene and contamination protection measures. Police officers often wear them to work in crime scenes to prevent destroying evidence in the scene. Many criminals also wear these gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints, which makes the crime investigation more difficult.
Fingerless gloves are useful for bikers and where dexterity is required that gloves would restrict. These gloves are not particularly used in cold weather, as the exposed finger numbs. Cigarette smokers and church organists often use fingerless gloves. Some gloves include a gauntlet that extends partway up the arm. Cycling gloves for road racing or touring are usually fingerless.
Gloves have been made of many materials including cloth, knitted or felted wool, leather, rubber, latex, neoprene, and metal (as in mail). Modern gloves made of kevlar protect the wearer from cuts. Gloves and gauntlets are also integral components of pressure suits and spacesuits such as the Apollo/Skylab A7L which went to the moon. Spacesuit gloves must combine extreme toughness and environmental protection with a degree of sensitivity and flexibility if the astronaut is to do any manual work.
Today gloves are made around the world. Most expensive women's fashion gloves are still made in France, with some made in Canada. For cheaper male gloves New York State, especially Gloversville, New York is still a world centre of glove manufacturing. More and more glove manufacturing is being done in East Asia, however.
A Paris corporation or guild of glovers (gantiers) existed from the thirteenth century. They made them in skin or in fur.
It was not until the 16th century that they reached their greatest elaboration, however, when Queen Elizabeth I set the fashion for wearing them richly embroidered and jeweled, and for putting them on and taking them off during audiences, to draw attention to her beautiful hands. In Paris, the gantiers became gantiers parfumeurs, for the scented oils, musk, ambergris and civet, that perfumed leather gloves, but their trade, which was an introduction at the court of Catherine de' Medici, was not specifically recognised until 1656, in a royal brevet. Makers of knitted gloves, which did not retain perfume and had less social cachet, were organised in a separate guild, of bonnetiers who might knit silk as well as wool. Such workers were already organised in the fourteenth century. Knitted gloves were a refined handiwork that required five years of apprenticeship; defective work was subject to confiscation and burning.
Embroidered and jeweled gloves also formed part of the insignia of emperors and kings. Thus Matthew of Paris, in recording the burial of Henry II of England in 1189, mentions that he was buried in his coronation robes with a golden crown on his head and gloves on his hands. Gloves were also found on the hands of King John when his tomb was opened in 1797 and on those of King Edward I when his tomb was opened in 1774.
Pontifical gloves are liturgical ornaments used primarily by the pope, the cardinals, and bishops. They may be worn only at the celebration of mass. The liturgical use of gloves has not been traced beyond the beginning of the 10th century, and their introduction may have been due to a simple desire to keep the hands clean for the holy mysteries, but others suggest that they were adopted as part of the increasing pomp with which the Carolingian bishops were surrounding themselves. From the Frankish kingdom the custom spread to Rome, where liturgical gloves are first heard of in the earlier half of the 11th century.
Latex gloves, ubiquitous in surgery and forensics, were developed by the Australian Ansell company. It is also widely believed that vanilla essence can preserve gardening gloves during winter (and spring) months. The fabrics include: rubber, cotton, wool and plastic.
These exist to fulfill the PPE requirements.
PPE places gloves into three categories:
Fingerless gloves are often padded in the palm area, to provide protection to the hand, and the exposed fingers do not interfere with sensation or gripping. In contrast to traditional gloves, often worn for warmth, fingerless gloves will often have a ventilated back to allow the hands to cool; this is commonly seen in weightlifting gloves.
Fingerless gloves are also worn by bikers as a means to better grip the handlebars, as well as by skateboarders and rollerbladers, to protect the palms of the hands and add grip in the event of a fall. Some anglers, particularly fly fishermen, favor fingerless gloves to allow manipulation of line and tackle in cooler conditions.
Fingerless gloves are usually leather and have a distinct appearance. Much like rocker jackets, they are sometimes worn by people who wish to display a certain sense of rebellion, recklessness, "toughness" or general disregard for the standards of society (such as John Bender in The Breakfast Club). This is why they are quite common in heavy metal and punk fashion and are sometimes decorated with metal studs or spikes. Some non-conformist individuals would wear a single glove on one hand leaving the other hand glove-less.
A woolen variety became popular in the early 1980s, largely due to the example of English pop star Nik Kershaw.
Fingerless gloves are also known as "hobo gloves", due to their association with homeless people.
Not much is known about the origin of Mittens. However, one account has it that Mittens were invented by George Washington during his winter encampment at Valley Forge 1777-1778. When his troops complained of cold hands, he gave an order to use what little cloth his army had by making a " a standard glove, which, when made without fingers, shall cover the entire hand." The mittens were made quickly, and sustained the continental army throughout the rest of the winter. Recently, a pair of mittens from the Valley Forge Campaign was sold at auction for just under $55,000.

Statins for Fatty Liver Disease
Medical Author Dr. Dennis Lee
Medical Author Dr. Jay W. Marks
Viewer question: My doctor told me that I have fatty liver and high cholesterol. He also said that my liver is slightly inflamed because my liver tests are mildly abnormal. He wants me to lose weight, exercise and take Lipitor to lower my cholesterol. I also read that Lipitor can have liver side effects. Is it safe to take Lipitor in somebody like me?
Doctor's response: Low dose statins like atorvastatin (Lipitor) are safe in patients with mild liver disease (for example, patients with fatty liver and mildly abnormal liver tests in the blood such as ALT and AST). Since many patients have fatty livers due to obesity as the cause of their mildly elevated AST and ALT; losing excess weight helps to normalize the liver tests. Nevertheless, there is insufficient data on the safety of statins in patients with more severe liver disease with moderate or severe elevations of AST or ALT. It also is important to monitor test levels periodically since statins should be stopped if liver tests become progressively more abnormal.
Thank you for your question.

Sometimes it's hard to find a silver lining when a soccer team doesn't score a goal in a match.
However, Starkville Academy soccer coach Robert Gardner found a reason to be encouraged Wednesday afternoon.
Despite a 2-0 loss to Presbyterian Christian School that dropped the Lady Volunteers to 3-4 in the Class AAA-District 2 Conference race, Gardner thought they "performed as well as I would have wanted."
"We're certainly positive about the performance," Gardner said. "In the first half, we got away from our game plan more than I would have liked. We talked at halftime about the way we wanted to attack and that we thought we could cause some problems. That's exactly what we did in the second half. We caused some problems. You have to give credit to (PCS) defensively because they put pressure on the ball. We just needed a couple of goals and couldn't get them."
Danielle Henley scored a goal midway through the first half for Presbyterian Christian as it held a 1-0 lead at halftime.
Jordan Jackson had a couple of shots on goal for SA, but both attempts went off the mark.
Gardner was pleased that Jackson got herself in position for the opportunities.
"Jordan had a good game and performed well," Gardner said. "She put plenty of pressure on the ball and gave her a couple of chances, so I'm happy with her performance."
The Lady Vols, who fell to 6-9 overall, finished a stretch of four varsity matches in three days with today's 3:30 p.m. outing against Copiah Academy at Starkville Sportsplex soccer fields.
Gardner knows the schedule is tough for his squad, but likes the way it's handle the situation so far.
"It's the business end of the season," Gardner said. "It's hectic, but that's part of it. There have been certainly good performances this week and I am encouraged, especially entering the playoffs. We're playing well at the proper time of the season.
"That's something that always has been encouraging with their resiliency to play their best soccer the last weeks of September and early October. I feel positive about it."
Today will be senior day at the Sportsplex as Tiffany Huddleston, Jessica Dennis, Tiffany Evans, Emilie Sanders and Garland Willcutt will be honored for their contributions to the program.
"They were sophomores when I first came in," Gardner said. "I've obviously got a good attachment to them."

Bidirectional Communicating between RCX and NXT - a simple but ingenius solution
Who needs an IR-Link to bridge between NXT and RCX when you got this?
The solution has an RCX light sensor reading the LCD of the NXT, and a NXT light sensor reading the IR port of the RCX. Impossible? You need to see the video to believe it!

That is a possibility.
But, can it send more than one signal?
I think that light sensor to light sensor communication can be much more powerful.

Yet, in real models it's often hard (or impossible) to cover the display of the NXT that way.
And it's rather inconvenient, as you are required to watch the LCD in many real-life situations.
But still, as nice example of thinking around the corner. :-)

My good friend,
It is impossible to make bi-directional communication with only 2 light sensors (1 RCX style, and 1 NXT style) since the RCX on can't turn itself on and off like the NXT one. You are required atleast 3 wires to do that with an analog sensor like those light sensors.

- Laurens Valk said...
In NQC (for the RCX), you can 'switch' the light sensor to a touchsensormode. This will turn off the led light.
I used this method in a robotic arm of mine.
Though there is no bi-directional communication as I did not need that for this robot.

- McZargald said...
Like laurens said, it is indeed possible to turn the LED off in the RCX light sensor. RoboLab can do it, it's just RCX-code that can't.
- Oct 26, 2007, 2:05:00 AM
By connecting the NXT to the RCX with the convertor cable, I've gotten the NXT to send the RCX any of 255 different messages (although so far I've only coded 30-something, and I don't plan on going past 40 or so).

Anonymious, I've been thinking of something like that, bust sadly my RCX is dead so I can't test it
:-( If I get it to work I will try to do something like that too.

I have done this using light sensors that can send numbers between 0- 255 to and from NXT and RCX.

CHIPLEY — The Take Stock In Children program for Washington County held its Mentor Appreciation Dinner Tuesday, Nov. 12, and nine 8th-, 9th and 10th-graders were presented contracts, allowing them to take part in the two-year scholarship program.
The students signed contracts promising to keep up their grades and attendance. If they meet the requirements, when they graduate high school they will have a full two-year scholarship to Chipola College in Marianna.
"This isn't about you just getting two years of college," said Mary Helen Smith, Chipola's TSIC coordinator. "We are there to help you and we will make sure you get four years of college if you keep your grades up. There are scholarships and grants and the money is there for you."
State Representative Marti Coley of Marianna was on hand for the event, and Candice Croft of West Florida Electric presented TSIC with the "Power of One" award for the program's work with children.
Previously, the TSIC program offered a 2-year junior college and 2-year four-year university scholarship, but the program changed this year so that it offers a full scholarship for the two-year college.
Students presented with contracts Tuesday night included:
Maylin Brock, 8th grader from Vernon Middle School
Kallee Chamberlain, 9th grader from Chipley High School
Selena Davis, 10th grader from Chipley High School
James Colby, 9th grader from Chipley High School
Aleya Louderback, 8th grader from Roulhac Middle School
Jamar Massaline, 8th grader from Vernon Middle School
Darrius Peterson, 10th grader from Vernon High School
Ina Robinson, 9th grader from Chipley High School
Dalton Webb, 8th grader from Vernon Middle School.
To date, TSIC has had nine college graduates, 51 students attending college or vocational training, 29 students in high school and they added nine more students on Tuesday. Total scholarships value more than $900,000.

Photo Gallery | Rock and Worship Roadshow Packs The Spokane Arena
Over 10,000 hands were raised up inside the Spokane Arena Sunday night as the crowd sang "Love is here, love is now", lyrics by Tenth Avenue North.
"It's the Rock and Worship Roadshow and all the bands playing are Christian," said fan April Holten.
Holten and her friends were among 11,200 others who packed the Spokane Arena to see nine different bands, including MercyMe, Tenth Avenue North, Lecrae, Hawk Nelson, Disciple and Sidewalk Prophets.
"They kind of just want to share it with everybody, so they make the tickets easy for anyone to come," Holten said. Ticket prices were kept at $10.
The low ticket prices brought in people who wouldn't normally attend this sort of show. "It was kind of a last minute thing; it's my first concert ever. I'm not really sure who's playing but I'm really, really enjoying it," concertgoer Trey Renolds said.
12-year-old Mashaela Sandoval and her family were the first in line at 9 AM to see the concert. She posted on Facebook, "Waiting in line for seven and a half hours was really worth it."
The bands got up close and personal with the crowd.
"Hawk Nelson took Mashaela's camera and took pictures of all the band members," Mashaela's mom Amanda Jones said.
The crowd shook the arena, jumping up and down during Lecrae's hip hop performance and left singing their favorite MercyMe lyrics.
Fan David Mariner left feeling uplifted. "It was an awesome show."

It was a Saturday in mid-December and I had promised my son that I would take him to audition for one of these talent shows they televise. He enjoys singing or talking or whatever you call what he does. As his father and only having knowledge of tear-jerking and tractor cranking country music, my opinion is that he is pretty good.
The auditions for "America's Got Talent" were held in various cities across the country and one just happened to be within a short driving distance for us.
We got to the hotel hosting the auditions about 30 minutes after they started lining folks up. The line was intimidating, wrapped around the building and up the block.
We found the end of the line and were given a number and waited.
Some of the folks around us seemed to have brought their entourage with them. There would be a large group of adults shielding a little girl dressed in either her Sunday best or like one of those little girls in "Toddlers & Tiaras." I've never understood putting that much lipstick and "war paint" on a little girl, but that is their business.
There were dancers, magicians, poets, baton twirlers, hula hoopers and all kinds of other folks whose "talent" could not be easily recognized.
The television show does give some advice for those who wish to audition. They note you should be original, not be boring, be fearless and stand out from the crowd. If you were to take most any of these folks and put them in a normal crowd of people, I assure you – they would stand out.
As the line moved along, I kept thinking about P.T. Barnum's success with "freak shows." This is exactly what these folks were doing. Judging from those who were going to audition, it seemed the television show was as or more interested in "strange," as they were talent. I kept looking for "Jo-Jo, P.T. Barnum's Famed Dog Faced Boy," but I never saw him or heard him bark.
With the waiting, you would think one would get tired or frustrated. I was neither. I was getting a free show. It was a show that didn't even cost a dime to see. There were some fellows who called themselves "agents." To be honest, one fellow dressed in suede or plush velvet suit with a bright red hat actually looked like he should be conducting some other sort of transactions. I steered way clear of this fellow.
In the middle of this pleasurable insanity, my son and I found a girl in her early twenties standing behind us in line. She was alone and very "normal" looking. She didn't have a baton, sword or leather pants that were painted on.
She seemed safe. Therefore, in my mind, I needed to see that she "stayed safe."
I decided to ask her, "What is your talent?" She told me that she played the piano and sang. We talked about music, the crowd and other things as the line moved along. She had something about her that was different. Her smile was pretty, her wit was keen and her overall demeanor showed confidence.
Not confidence in her talent, but confidence in who she was and what she wanted.
There I was spending time with my son, getting to talk to a nice person and getting a free freak show. I was having a wonderful time.
As the line progressed, we finally moved into the hotel where they were scanning us for weapons and sharp objects. I guess the fellow who swallowed swords got a pass.
While we were waiting to be scanned, a group of little boys in white pajamas and different colored belts (some with kamikaze-like headbands) were cutting back and forth through the line following and yelling questions to a portly bald fellow.
"Sensei, where do we go?"
"Sensei, what do we do now?"
"Sensei, where do we take this?"
"Sensei, do we need to practice?"
The portly bald fellow in white pajamas with a black belt tied around the largest section of his middle seemed to be basking in his authority. He was their "Sensei," or leader and he was "in charge."
People like to be in charge.
Some people like me like to watch people who like to be in charge.
It was like I was watching a middle school play based on a Bruce Lee movie. I didn't have to buy a ticket, or doughnuts or even PTA wrapping paper. It was great.
We successfully passed through the boys in the white pajamas and the metal detector wand wielding folks and went into another room to get paperwork to fill out. I didn't read the paperwork closely, but I'm sure it said something about the television folks having the right to ridicule your weirdness as much as they wanted to and you not being able to do anything about it.
The hotel was large and had many conference rooms. The "line" would now progress by moving groups of people from one conference room to the next. We stayed with the keen-witted young girl to protect her from the boys in the white pajamas and stray hula hoops flying through the air.
As we moved through these conference rooms, the folks who were there to audition took turns trying out their "talents" on those waiting in the room with them. Some were good, some were very bad. Some of the folks seemed angry, some of them seemed very sad.
For a number of the people there, it was almost like this was the first time that anyone had ever watched (or listened to) their talents. We didn't have a choice, we were waiting. Again, it was actually very entertaining.
However, I was getting thirsty.
I left my son sitting in the conference room with the young lady and found the snack bar in the hotel. I brought back sodas for my son and me and a bottle of water for the girl. She seemed like the "water type." I was correct.
She was appreciative.
We were in our second conference/waiting room and the young lady left to go to the restroom. She left her paperwork in her chair face up where nosey people could read it. I had been listening to heartbreaking poetry and strange music while watching bad Bruce Lee movies and mothers carrying armfuls of hula hoops for their sons dressed in tight shiny pink pants.
I looked down at the chair where the girl's paperwork was.
Her name was "Mary," that is all she wrote. In the space where they asked the question about what you wanted to do in the future or the rest of your life, Mary had written, "I want to do everything."
She was "twenty-something" and she wanted "to do everything."
"Why wouldn't you?" I asked myself. I'm twice that age and honestly I still want to do everything.
Mary came back and I told her what I had done.
She smiled and we talked about it…

The back is a Denyse Schmidt print from Joann's. The binding is my favorite shade of teal Bella Solid (but I can't remember the color name!).
I quilted it with loopty loops and stuck it in the wash…it's soft and crinkly and getting lots of use!

Barrow AFC finally land defender O'Donnell
Last updated at 17:47, Tuesday, 22 January 2013
THE on-off transfer saga involving Danny O'Donnell has ended after the defender put pen to paper on an 16-month contract with Barrow AFC.
The 26-year-old has joined on a free transfer after two years at Stockport County.
O'Donnell's original move to Holker Street was stopped 'as he was literally signing the last piece of paper', the club say, when the Football Conference imposed a registration embargo January 4, because Barrow had an outstanding PAYE payment.
With the embargo lifted five days later, O'Donnell was again due to sign but when Stockport sacked Manager, Jim Gannon, last week, he decided to remain at Edgeley Park and fight for his place.
He signed the paperwork at Edgeley Park on Tuesday lunchtime after satisfying Barrow Physio, Sean Riley, who gave the go ahead on Medical grounds.
O'Donnell will wear the number 18 shirt, which had already been printed in readiness for his original proposed debut at Kidderminster.
The commanding central defender will have to wait at least a week for his debut though, as he is cup-tied to Stockport and therefore ineligible to play for Barrow in this season's FA Trophy competition.

Get answers from real customers and in-house experts with AnswerBox.
Q:Do you recommend using this product every morning and night within your daily skin care routine?Asked on 7/1/2015 by Rhi
2 answers
A:I prefer to use it as a rehydrating/refreshing mist in the summer when my
skin is oilier and holding more dirt and grime, since the tea tree helps
combat icky build up. But I don't see any harm in using it day and night as
a "toner."Answered on 7/1/2015 by Cay from Orlando, FL
A:Tea Tree Water should be fine for daily use, but if you have sensitive skin, it may be too astringent.Answered on 7/1/2015 by Serena from LUSH Direct
Q:Does this work well with Vanishing Cream and herbalism combined?Asked on 6/8/2015 by Lulu from Stockton, CA
1 answer
A:Yes, absolutely. Tea Tree Water is a wonderful toner to incorporate into your routine!Answered on 6/9/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:I've tried 100% pure tea tree oil before hoping it can help my acne but unfortunately I had an allergic reaction to it and caused my skin to itch and have rashes. Would you still recommend this product to me since its tea tree "water" and not 100% tea tree oil?Asked on 5/23/2015 by Vanessa from Sacramento, CA
2 answers
A:Essential oils on their own can be very intense on the skin. Tea Tree Water toner is great combo of different cleansing agents that is a lot more gentle on the skins. I would definitely recommend it as a toner treatment for any acne prone or oily skin.Answered on 5/26/2015 by Alexander from Lush Direct
A:I wouldn't only because here is tea tree oil in it. I would stop by the nearest location and try a small amount on an area on your arm and see if there's a reaction prior to buying it and trying on your face.

Q:My mother suffers from rosacea and sometimes her skin is red and can be a little bumpy-like acne.. would this product help her??
Also, what other products would you recommend to balance rosacea?
Thanks.Asked on 3/2/2015 by Marisol from Texas
1 answer
A:Tea Tree Water is very cleansing and unclogging. If Rosacea is a concern I usually recommend Eau Roma Water as a gentler alternative with Lavender and Rose water as to not irritate the skin more then we need to. Rosacea sufferers need to be extra careful about which products they use as each case is specific and can vary in severity. I'd recommend our more gentle cleansers that offer oil-balancing ingredients like Ultrabland cleanser which has soothing Almond Oil and disinfecting Honey. Also check out Oatifix Fresh Face Mask to calm and hydrate without over-stimulating the skin.Answered on 3/21/2015 by Alexander from LUSH Direct
Q:is this toner good for dry skin?Asked on 1/12/2015 by lama
3 answers
A:I have really oily skin and it works wonders, but I don't know about dry
skin. It really refreshes my skin and feels fantastic, so I would try the
small bottle first just to see. LUSH has other great toners, so I'd also
look into those. Definitely get a Lush toner, I'm just not sure this is the
right one for you.Answered on 1/13/2015 by Anonymous
A:Definitely. Enough hydration without causing breakouts, love it for my
chest and back as well!Answered on 1/12/2015 by Anonymous
A:Hi there! Yes it works very well for dry, acne-prone skin.Answered on 1/13/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Does this work well with enzymion? I'm looking to buy tea tree water and get samples of ocean salt and enzymion for my oily t zone.Asked on 10/28/2014 by REL from Duluth, MN
1 answer
A:Tea Tree Water is great for oily skin as is Enzymion. In combination, they will help mop up extra oil without drying your skin out If you also have concerns regarding blemishes and redness, Tea Tree Water is equally effective for that.Answered on 11/6/2014 by Farinaz from LUSH Direct

Q:Can I use for my back?Asked on 2/20/2014 by Zeyno from boston
2 answers
A:Yes, it can absolutely be used on the back. I use it on my arms and chest as well as on my face. It helps minimize breakouts on my arms. The only thing is that the spray doesn't work upside down, so if you use it on your back, you'd probably have to bend down a little bit and then spray it over your shoulders onto your back.

Q:Can this product help to get rid of acne scars or any discolorations on the face?Asked on 6/6/2013 by Karina
2 answers
A:Tea Tree Water toner contains ingredients that help brighten dull skin but would only have minimal impact fading scars or improving discoloration. Enzymion Moisturizer would be a product that would help with this.Answered on 10/2/2013 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
A:I don't think it will help with acne scars or ANY discolorations. I think it helps with redness and blotchiness on the face caused by sensitive skin that is irritated. I feel like it helps balance and calm my skin. But time along with good skin care will fade a lot of acne scars quite a bit.Answered on 7/14/2013 by Lush Lover from Venus, Texas
Q:How often should I use this product? Twice a day? One time a week?Asked on 2/3/2013 by Kathy
4 answers
A:i use it twice a day. once in the morning before mosturizer then makeup and once at night after cleansing and before mosturizing!Answered on 12/13/2014 by jade from lafayette, CA
A:I would say it depends on your schedule and your skin. If you wash and use the toner on your skin in the morning, then go out to work/school all day, I would say cleanse and use it again at night, too. Mainly due to all the dirt/oil/environmental factors you will pick up during the day. But if once a day works well for you, you could stick to that. The minimum use is once a day.Answered on 3/1/2013 by Stephanie from Murrieta, CA
A:I use it once a day, right after a shower to help finish clean my face. But the people at the lush store said people like to use it twice a day, once in the morning and at night; it's gentle enough to use twice a day.Answered on 3/3/2013 by Sarah from Miami, FL
A:Tea Tree Water is great to use after cleansing, as it will help to remove residual cleanser and hydrate the skin. In addition, you can use it throughout the day to help control blemishes and to refresh the skin. It is completely up to you how often you use it!Answered on 3/8/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:I purchased this along with grease lightening. What should I use first?Asked on 8/11/2012 by Polly
1 answer
A:We would recommend using the Tea Tree Water first, as it will help to remove any remaining oils and dirt from the skin, as well, it will take off any excess cleanser left behind. Grease Lightening is best used as a spot treatment applied to blemishes as they come up.Answered on 9/19/2012 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:Can I use this over makeup? Will it smudge or take it off?Asked on 8/10/2012 by Jess
2 answers
A:You can certainly spray our toners on over makeup. Wait a couple of minutes to let it dry before touching your face and you should be fine!Answered on 10/31/2012 by Anonymous
A:I can spritz a little on my face over my makeup to keep oil in control. Hold the bottle away from your face, use only 2 or 3 sprays, and let it air dry. It won't smudge, smear, or take off makeup unless you wipe your face before it dries.Answered on 10/14/2012 by Loriam from Seattle, WA
Q:Am I supposed to use this product before applying a moisturizer or is it the other way around?Asked on 7/6/2012 by Amy from Colorado
1 answer
A:We usually recommend using a toner before applying a moisturizer. Toners help remove any excess cleanser that might be left over on the skin, and they help hydrate the skin (or LUSH ones do, at any rate, as they are alcohol-free), so that you don't need as much moisturizer when you do apply it. They also have other helpful ingredients, like antimicrobial tea tree, and oil-fighting grapefruit!Answered on 7/13/2012 by Laura from LUSH
Q:Do I spray this directly on my face or use a cotton ball to apply it?Asked on 1/22/2012 by Anonymous
10 answers
A:I do. You can go either way, when I spray directly i feel is too much product and I feel I am taking it off when I go over it with the cotton ball. That's just me. I like it more when I apply to a cotton ball.Answered on 6/11/2012 by 8ubble6umpink from Laredo, Tx
A:You can use it with either option- spraying on a cotton pad or ball and wiping the skin, or spritzing directly onto the face, it's up to whichever method you prefer!Answered on 1/24/2012 by Megan from LUSH
A:You can do it either way. I usually just spritz it directly on my face when I know it is completely clean and make-up free, otherwise I spray some on a cotton pad to remove any make-up that wasn't removed from cleansing and then do a small spritz to the face to add a little more goodness to my skin. Hope this helps! =)Answered on 1/24/2012 by KayDamaris from Calexico, CA
A:The directions suggest spraying it directly on your face. You can then remove excess with a cotton ball, or let it air dry to tighten pores.Answered on 1/26/2012 by Community Answer from None
A:You can really do either. I would suggest spraying it onto your face and let it sit for 3-5 minutes. If there is any excess wipe it off with a round cotton pad. (I wouldn't use a cotton ball...they don't work as well)Answered on 3/23/2012 by Brittany from San Diego, CA
A:Spray it on toilet paper or a cotton ball and then apply itAnswered on 4/2/2012 by Katie from Fort Meade, MD
A:For everyday use I spray it directly on my face and wait for it to dry. The only time I use a cotton ball is if I don't feel like washing my face before I go to the gym or something and I'll spray this on and wipe it off with a cotton ball. I think if you use a cotton ball to apply it, it wastes the product since you need a lot to dampen the cotton.Answered on 4/16/2012 by lushie from providence, ri
A:Spray it directly to your face. You can use a cotton ball to wipe off the excess, though I don't do that. I just let it all air dry. The excess just drips a little then it dries.Answered on 4/18/2012 by Andi from Sacramento
A:I spray it directly on my face, its like a fine mist and gets the best coverage of your skin.Answered on 4/18/2012 by Julia from Long Island, NY
A:I usually spray a couple of spurts onto a cotton pad before wiping it on my face but only after I wash my face with a cleanser then I apply moisturizer.Answered on 6/4/2012 by Drew the LUSH Guy from Denver, CO
Q:Does this toner help get rid of acne? I have lots of acne on my T-Zone and am looking for a miracle worker!Asked on 1/12/2012 by TBISME from Colorado

A:We have gotten lots of feedback over the years from people who have had a lot of success using the Tea Tree Toner. Give it a try and see how it works for you!Answered on 7/13/2012 by Laura from LUSH
A:If your acne is mainly from oily skin then yes it will help. Be sure to follow up with a acne cleanser. However this is more of a preventer than a remover. Hope I helped.Answered on 1/20/2012 by Robert from New York, New York
A:I believe that this product did indeed help get rid of my acne. I am taking Accutane for my acne but I don't rely on the medication alone to get rid of my acne completely. If you pair it up with the right cleanser for your skin type it will work wonders to your face! This toner did clear the blackheads on my nose and T-zone. I recommend this toner 100% so give it a go and see for yourself!Answered on 1/24/2012 by KayDamaris from Calexico, CA
A:Once I started using this I definitely think it helped with my acne. I don't think it will heal it all alone so it would need to be used with a face wash and moisturizer. But who knows each person it different. Also, I found as soon as I started using this product it drastically helped decrease oily skin.Answered on 4/16/2012 by lushie from providence, ri

Hey! Did you know that Iran gave the world a nuclear middle finger yesterday!!! Now that we got that meaningless crap out of the way....lets talk about a more serious mainstream media headline...
Now that liberals are in full control of the country it appears that we now live in a world where a 40 minute speech guided by this
Is the EXACT SAME THING as this
and this
and this
and this
Somehow, in some bizarro world where Rosie O'donnell is a difficult dodgeball target and Rachel Maddow has a sex change operation so his name actually makes sense....Sarah Palin's 5 words written on her hand in ink to outline a 40 minute speech is tantamount to hypocrisy when criticizing Obama for using a machine that spoon feeds him like the political baby he is 100% of the words in his speeches.
Liberals, I forget, how dumb is Sarah Palin again?
The way the media has been treating this you would think they found some sort of smoking gun, which proves they wouldn't know a smoking gun if it shot them in the ass.
I know, I know....ALL politicians use teleprompters. This is true, but do they all RELY on them as heavily as Obama does?
Probably not....right?
I'm glad Obama likes to honor the Marine Corpse, the corpse does do fine work.
I'm sorry, did we have to hear for ONLY 8 years about how that little Hitler wearing a George W. Bush mask that came before Obama couldn't say "nuclear" correctly?
I know liberals have wet dreams about how the military is populated with a bunch of dumb uneducated rednecks who couldn't spell "gun" better than they can shoot one, but they know how to properly say they belong to the marine corps (which is to be read as "CORE" for the liberal readers and certain pinko presidents).
Maybe its just me, but I think they probably deserve a commander-in-chief that can do the same, because "what would Biden do" is not a good game to play when you're stuck on a word in which you should've been given a heads up.
May I suggest writing a reminder on your hand, Mr. President?

Five graduating students in the Saint Louis University Program in Physical Therapy are heading for Haiti.
In the spirit of Saint Louis University's Ignatian values, on May 25, Amanda Buerger, Kara O'Malley, Maureen Cutrera, Tricia Wong and Lauren McCray will leave for Haiti and volunteer at the Advantage Clinic, Rehabilitation Hospital, and the surrounding community to provide physical therapy services. They also will treat people with a variety of injuries, diseases and disabilities.
Because of the devastation of the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake, many Haitians are still in economic turmoil and without needed services.
Based on Medical Teams International website's report of services previous physical therapist were expected to provide during missions to Haiti, these DPT graduates will provide prosthetic recipients training on proper use and rehabilitation, and conduct trainings in disability adaptation, awareness, advocacy and accessibility in schools, community groups and churches.
The Centre de Sante Lumiere/Advantage Rehabilitation Clinic is located in southwest Haiti in the suburb of Les Caves.
According to the DPT graduates, they plan to document their experiences using a website/blog (http://taptaptohaiti.blogspot.com/) depending on Internet availability.
To find out more about the hopes and mission of this Haitian expedition, visit the following links: http://www.medicalteams.org/sf/donate/support_volunteers/team_travel_haiti.aspx

I really like Jerry's music and as far as I know, this CD is a good representation of his work. Cats Under the Stars is kind of weird, though. I was happy to get this CD. Read morePublished 13 months ago by Greg James

Winter has hit Uberwald hard which is nothing out of the ordinary, this will no doute cause many problems for travelers, farmers and most people in general. But it seem more so for vampires, werewolfs and undead since most of them have been reported missing. The city guard don't know a thing, but is this because they can't find anything or they don't want to know whats going on?
On your first post please describe your character/s, tell us about him/her/it/them and the reason why they are in bonk in the first place either in the RPG thread or the OCC thread.
I'd like your first character to be one of your own creation. There will be time later on in the thread for you, if you wish, to play as one of the main characters from the books.
IC in this thread, there will be a OCC threat for questions and OCC chat so please later on if the thread catches on. ((so untill then if you have any OOC questions and stuff put them in brackets like these ))
And lastly have fun
