In association with
By Simon Patterson -
British Superbikes
23 June 2014 09:18
Peter Hickman will complete the remainder of the 2014 MCE British Superbike Championship on the RAF Reserves Honda of Simon Andrews, with the TT fastest newcomer taking over after the tragic loss of Simon at the North West 200.
Hickman competed at the last round of the BSB series on the Tsingtao Kawasaki, joining the team at the eleventh hour to replace Jon Kirkham, but had already been in talks with the RAF Reserves team of Lee Hardy about taking over the Honda Fireblade for the remainder of the year.
Hickman said: "I am really happy to be back in the championship as that is what I have been pushing for all season. I haven't really set myself and expectations as such because this is like the start of the season for me, but I know the Honda which is always a good place to start! I had some good results with Honda before, so I am really looking forward to getting on it this weekend and getting back into it again. Knockhill will be the first test for us but I like to be thrown in at the deep end; I am relaxed about the first races with the team and we are determined to crack on with the job."
Team owner Lee Hardy concluded: "I am excited to put this deal together for the remainder of the 2014 BSB season. Peter certainly opened my eyes with his amazing performances at the North West 200 and that 129mph lap at this year's TT. Yes we are three rounds into the season, but there is still a long way to go in the championship. What we must not lose sight of is this is our debut season in BSB and hopefully with Peter's pervious Honda experience we can regularly challenge for top ten positions. Knockhill will be our first chance to work together so it will be treated like a test for us and there is no pressure!"
Hickman will jump straight into the deep end with the team this weekend at Knockhill, jumping on the bike at the Scottish circuit without a chance to complete any prior testing.

The lexical approach to second language teaching has received interest in
recent years as an alternative to grammar-based approaches. The lexical approach
concentrates on developing learners' proficiency with lexis, or words and word
combinations. It is based on the idea that an important part of language
acquisition is the ability to comprehend and produce lexical phrases as
unanalyzed wholes, or "chunks," and that these chunks become the raw data by
which learners perceive patterns of language traditionally thought of as grammar
(Lewis, 1993, p. 95). Instruction focuses on relatively fixed expressions that
occur frequently in spoken language, such as, "I'm sorry," "I didn't mean to
make you jump," or "That will never happen to me," rather than on originally
created sentences (Lewis, 1997a, p. 212). This digest provides an overview of
the methodological foundations underlying the lexical approach and the
pedagogical implications suggested by them.
Lexis is the basis of language.
Lexis is misunderstood in language teaching because of the assumption that
grammar is the basis of language and that mastery of the grammatical system is a
prerequisite for effective communication.
The key principle of a lexical approach is that "language consists of
grammaticalized lexis, not lexicalized grammar."
One of the central organizing principles of any meaning-centered syllabus should
be lexis.
The role of formulaic, many-word lexical units have been stressed in both
first and second language acquisition research. (See Richards & Rodgers,
2001, for further discussion.) They have been referred to by many different
labels, including "gambits" (Keller, 1979), "speech formulae" (Peters, 1983),
"lexicalized stems" (Pawley & Syder, 1983), and "lexical phrases" (Nattinger
& DeCarrico, 1992). The existence and importance of these lexical units has
been discussed by a number of linguists. For example, Cowie (1988) argues that
the existence of lexical units in a language such as English serves the needs of
both native English speakers and English language learners, who are as
predisposed to store and reuse them as they are to generate them from scratch.
The widespread "fusion of such expressions, which appear to satisfy the
individual's communicative needs at a given moment and are later reused, is one
means by which the public stock of formulae and composites is continuously
enriched" (p. 136).
Lewis (1997b) suggests the following taxonomy of lexical items:
words (e.g., book, pen)
polywords (e.g., by the way, upside down)
collocations, or word partnerships (e.g., community service, absolutely
institutionalized utterances (e.g., I'll get it; We'll see; That'll do; If I
were you ...; Would you like a cup of coffee?)
sentence frames and heads (e.g., That is not as ...as you think; The
fact/suggestion/problem/danger was ...) and even text frames (e.g., In this
paper we explore ...; Firstly ...; Secondly ...; Finally ...)
Within the lexical approach, special attention is directed to collocations
and expressions that include institutionalized utterances and sentence frames
and heads. As Lewis maintains, "instead of words, we consciously try to think of
collocations, and to present these in expressions. Rather than trying to break
things into ever smaller pieces, there is a conscious effort to see things in
larger, more holistic, ways" (1997a, p. 204).
Collocation is "the readily observable phenomenon whereby certain words
co-occur in natural text with greater than random frequency" (Lewis, 1997a, p.
8). Furthermore, collocation is not determined by logic or frequency, but is
arbitrary, decided only by linguistic convention. Some collocations are fully
fixed, such as "to catch a cold," "rancid butter," and "drug addict," while
others are more or less fixed and can be completed in a relatively small number
of ways, as in the following examples:
blood / close / distant / near(est) relative
learn by doing / by heart / by observation / by rote / from experience
badly / bitterly / deeply / seriously / severely hurt
Activities used to develop learners' knowledge of lexical chains include the
Intensive and extensive listening and reading in the target language.
First and second language comparisons and translation--carried out
chunk-for-chunk, rather than word-for-word--aimed at raising language awareness.
Repetition and recycling of activities, such as summarizing a text orally one
day and again a few days later to keep words and expressions that have been
learned active.
Guessing the meaning of vocabulary items from context.
Noticing and recording language patterns and collocations.
*Working with dictionaries and other reference tools.
Working with language corpuses created by the teacher for use in the classroom
or accessible on the Internet&mdashsuch as the British National Corpus
(http://thetis.bl.uk/BNCbib) or COBUILD Bank of English
(http://titania.cobuild.collins.co.uk)&mdashto research word partnerships,
preposition usage, style, and so on.
Willis (1990) has attempted to provide a rationale and design for lexically
based language teaching and suggests that a lexical syllabus should be matched
with an instructional methodology that puts particular emphasis on language use.
Such a syllabus specifies words, their meanings, and the common phrases in which
they are used and identifies the most common words and patterns in their most
natural environments. Thus, the lexical syllabus not only subsumes a structural
syllabus, it also describes how the "structures" that make up the syllabus are
used in natural language.
Despite references to the natural environments in which words occur,
Sinclair's (1987) and Willis's (1990) lexical syllabi are word based. However,
Lewis's (1993) lexical syllabus is specifically not word based, because it
"explicitly recognizes word patterns for (relatively) de-lexical words,
collocation power for (relatively) semantically powerful words, and longer
multi-word items, particularly institutionalized sentences, as requiring
different, and parallel pedagogical treatment" (Lewis, 1993, p. 109). In his own
teaching design, Lewis proposes a model that comprises the steps,
Observe-Hypothesize-Experiment, as opposed to the traditional
Present-Practice-Produce paradigm. Unfortunately, Lewis does not lay out any
instructional sequences exemplifying how he thinks this procedure might operate
in actual language classrooms. For more on implementing the lexical approach,
see Richards & Rodgers (2001).
Nevertheless, implementing a lexical approach in the classroom does not lead
to radical methodological changes. Rather, it involves a change in the teacher's
mindset. Most important, the language activities consistent with a lexical
approach must be directed toward naturally occurring language and toward raising
learners' awareness of the lexical nature of language.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers have declined their $12 million contract option for Lance Berkman, making the 37-year-old switch-hitter a free agent.
Berkman gets a $1 million buyout for the second year of the deal signed in January.
Berkman hit .242 with six home runs and 34 RBIs in 73 games this season. He went on the disabled list July 7 with a left inflammation and a sore right knee, and played only five games after coming back the final month of the season.
The six-time All-Star played only 32 games for St. Louis in 2012, when he dealt with a strained left calf and had two operations on his right knee. He hit .301 in 2011 for the Cardinals, who won the World Series that season over Texas.

The chicken curry pita was HUGE! Definitely something you could easily share. The bad news.... They removed a lot of the local micro brews from their menu.
All of the Pita Jungles are wonderful... very varied menu that provides food and drink for every palate...Nice atmosphere and always great service...bar service, accommodations for families with children or like me, an older couple with likes for a quiet corner.
Good middle eastern and fusion of Mexican and middle eastern food. Lots of vegetarian choices. Good laid back atmosphere and casual dress waiter and waitresses. They work together. Every one works as a team. You can order food or gets served by other hostesses, but still manage to get your order coorect.
Pita Jungle is always a go-to restaurant for Mediterranean cuisine. Hummus is delicious and shwarma is a classic. I love the Greek salad too; dressing is awesome. Thursday nights used to be jazz jam session which is always a fun time.
My husband and I have been to Pita Jungle locations in Ahwatukee and Chandler and in both cases found everything to be perfectly fine. The Chandler location is a bit down on its heels and quite noisy. If you like vegetarian or vegan or whatever this type of food is, you will be thrilled! If you are going along because... More
We eat here 1-2 times per month. The food is excellent, something for everyone. The only challenge is school nights is our normal stop here and they are always busy so the time to food takes longer than most which is ok on weekends but not on busy week nights. But always worth the wait as a healthy eat out... More
A bit spendy for what you get. Tables to close to each other. Wait staff seemed to be very inexperienced

If you want good food at reasonable prices - Pita Jungle is hard to beat. Absolutely love the oven roasted chicken dinner for about $10.40. Overall 4 stars but for value the rating should be 5+.
Went here for the first time with some coworkers . Not usually my type of food, but the menu sounded appealing. We started with a hummus sampler which featured roasted red pepper, regular and jalapeño/cilantro. The regular was a bit bland. The red pepper was delicious. But the jalapeño/cilantro was definitely my favorite. So good! For my entree, I has... More

Samsung Galaxy11 star-studded ad series concludes with the second half of the game
The Samsung Galaxy11 commercial series has been one of the most impressive in the mobile world, or at least as far as number of celebrities involved is concerned. The videos that tell the story of aliens attacking the earth, who agree to spare our planet if we beat them at a game of football.
So Samsung gathered the most attack-minded team that you've ever seen (seriously, there are zero defenders in the squad), equipped them with a bunch of Galaxy gear and sent them to fight for us. It was probably Franz Beckenbauer's job to teach some of the 12 field players selected to tackle. Read more »

Players/Officials: Peter Siddle
Series/Tournaments: Australia tour of India
Australia's spearhead Peter Siddle believes pace bowling will be the key against India on the upcoming Test tour, despite the likelihood that the matches will be played on pitches offering significant spin. The first group of Australia's Test players flew out for India on Thursday while many of their team-mates remained at home to take on West Indies in the ongoing limited-overs series.
Siddle, Jackson Bird, Ed Cowan, Moises Henriques, Usman Khawaja, Nathan Lyon, James Pattinson and Steven Smith all departed in the advance party and will prepare for the first warm-up match in Chennai, which starts on Tuesday next week. There are two tour games at the Guru Nanak College Ground in Chennai before the first Test, which begins at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on February 22.
The make-up of Australia's first-choice Test side remains unclear following the retirement of Michael Hussey after the most recent Test series against Sri Lanka. Australia have the option of including Glenn Maxwell as a spinning allrounder alongside three fast men and Nathan Lyon, but they also have the choice of an extra specialist batsman, Khawaja, or a seaming allrounder, Moises Henriques, or a second specialist spinner, Xavier Doherty.
Whatever side is picked, there will be mountains of work for Siddle and his fast-bowling colleagues, Pattinson, Bird, Mitchell Johnson and Mitchell Starc during the four-Test series. Despite the fact that nearly three quarters of the wickets that bowlers claimed in the recent India-England series fell to spinners - only 28 of 110 wickets went to fast bowlers - Siddle believes Australia will rely on the quality of their pace attack.
"The best way of attacking India is with whatever your best line-up is," Siddle told reporters at Melbourne airport on Thursday. "The way we've won Test matches for years now has been with our pace and I think that is going to play a big role. But Nathan [Lyon] is going to play a big role at the other end, and his game is going to flourish even more with the pressure we build at our end.
"Combined, we'll do well and definitely be able to take 20 wickets. We're strong, we've got a good set of quicks going over and we've got good back-up for Nathan over there with spin."
Siddle is one of only four members of Australia's 17-man squad who has played Test cricket in India, along with Johnson, Shane Watson and Michael Clarke. Siddle made his Test debut in Mohali in 2008 - it was there that he first established his reputation as a tireless workhorse - and he said the key to bowling in India was patience.
"Trying to bowl as straight and be as patient as we can be [is important]," Siddle said. "We were lucky enough that after the Sydney Test Glenn McGrath spent a bit of time in the rooms with us and we got a good chat with him, sat back and listened to how he went about his business over there.
"It's always been the case, even for a spinner - still patience. Indian wickets are hard work, the games go a little bit slower because the wickets are hard to score on. It is about patience, bowling to your fields and setting the right fields with your captain. Our side is disciplined enough now to go about it in that way. That won't change this series."
The second group of Australians - Maxwell, David Warner, Matthew Wade and the young spinner Ashton Agar - flies to India on Saturday and will be followed by the remainder of the group on Monday, the day after the final ODI against West Indies.

Two new humorous BMW commercials for Head-Up Display and Real Time Traffic Information.
You can review the convenience, infotainment and safety features of BMW ConnectedDrive at http://www.BMW.com/ConnectedDrive.
For the past week, the BMW Performance Center offered a BMW Performance Driving School event at the legendary Lime Rock Park, featuring the all new F10 M5, the E92 M3 coupe and the 1M coupe.
An M5POST member was in attendance and shares with us his experience, photos and a video.
The Rimac e-M3 has now been acknowledged as the fastest accelerating electrical vehicle (EV). Its record breaking run, which happened in April 2011, has now been confirmed and acknowledged by the FIA. The electric E30 M3 covered the first eighth of a mile in 7.549 seconds and the quarter mile in 11.808 seconds).
A full mile was completed in 35.347, which is still pending the FIA nod. The driver (and owner of the Rimac tuning company) Mate Rimac is already working on … CONTINUED
We bring you the first ever look at the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe prototype in live action – from a recent test session on the Nurburgring track.
This is the first we've seen of the prototype on the Ring, as well as being fitted with M Sport Brakes.
As always, don't worry about the headlights and tail lights of the prototypes at this stage of testing. They are merely fakes for testing purposes. Expect the 4GC to share the lights with the rest of the upcoming 4 … CONTINUED
Although not full hi-res images, BMW has posted on its facebook page the first photos of M Performance Parts fitted on the F31 3 Series Touring and F11 5 Series Touring.
As expected, both the F31 and F11 generally share the M Performance Parts from the sedan versions – including black kidney grilles, front bumper splitters (carbon fiber for the F11), carbon fiber mirror caps, rear diffuser, side skirt trim, M Performance brakes, M Performance exhaust system and 20″ wheels (different styles for the F31 and F11).… CONTINUED
We've captured the next generation X5 M prototype on video for the first time and despite all its camouflage and cladding, still impresses with its furious sounds on the Nurbrugring test track. Have a look and listen inside.
Think there are a lot of 1 Series in Taiwan? If you didn't, this should change your mind. This recent meet saw over sixty 1 Series in attendance, with twenty of them being 1M coupes, which would be impressive even in a big BMW market like the US or Germany.
Check out the event videos and photos.
We haven't spotted the F82 M4 Coupe at the Nurburgring since July, when the F82 was spied for the very first time in public testing. Well, it's now back at the Ring during an onslaught of BMW prototype testing in the past week, including the F80 M3, F82 M4, F36 4 Series Gran Coupe, F15 X5 M, 3 Series GT, and the M6 Gran Coupe.
Below are the most recent photos and a video of the F82 M4 in testing at the Nurburgring, as well as a … CONTINUED
Here's a fun matchup. Watch as the BMW F10 M5 drags against the Tesla Model S to 100MPH. Here are their specs on paper:
Tesla Model S – 443 lb-ft torque @ 0-5100rpm, RWD, 0-60mph 4.4s (factory quoted), 4,647 lbs
F10 M5 – 502 lb-ft torque @ 1500-6560rpm, RWD, 0-62mph 4.4s (factory quoted), 4,288 lbs
The race is a close one and many variables shift the advantage to the Tesla S in such a race. For one, the race is only to 100MPH. Although … CONTINUED
Check out how the BMW M Performance exhaust for the F30 335i sounds in these videos from startup, idle, and revving at stop.
A year ago, BMW announced its involvement in the development of "Car-to-x" communications technology which will allow future allow drivers to "see" long distances ahead, into areas currently hidden from view, and even around not just one but many corners.
Car-to-x communication entails electronic networking of vehicles and roadside infrastructure, with the aim of exchanging information directly both between road users and between road users and roadside infrastructure (such as traffic lights, traffic signs, bridges, tolls and even dangerous roads). Car-to-x communication is a comprehensive communication network … CONTINUED
Have a look at some videos showing the assembly and internals/technology of the N20 engine.
The BMW N20 is a turbocharged inline 4 cylinder DOHC engine which replaced the N52 and BMW N53 inline 6 cylinder engines beginning in 2011. The N20 is an inline 4, but is considered a replacement for the straight-6 N52 and N53 because it powers equivalent models. It features a twin-scroll turbocharger, variable valve timing (VANOS), variable valve lift (valvetronic) and direct injection.
The N20 is currently used in:

Fox may not be able to produce a sequel to its reality phenom Joe Millionaire — the secret being out and all — but we still have to wonder: What if the network reversed the genders and next recruited 20 gold-diggin' studs to drool over a well-to-do Princess Charming? Would viewers find a Jane Millionaire as richly rewarding?
"No," theorizes Evan Marriott, the 28-year-old construction worker at the center of the $50 million big white lie, in an interview with TV Guide Online. "I don't think women are portrayed as breadwinners in America. I think it's an old-fashioned reality that men are the breadwinners."
That said, Marriott believes a female-driven Millionaire would work if producers dangled a different booty in front of her male suitors. "They ought to call it Jane Big Boobs," he suggests with a grin. "They get a woman with big, fake boobs, have all these guys go after her, and then, in the end, she takes them off and goes, 'Ha! I'm as flat as a f---in' pancake!'"

Very soft, but poor quality.
When I first purchased these sheets I was thrilled! The price was very low and the softness was unbelievable. But after three months of usage, the fitted sheet has ripped from the elastic edge to almost the center of the sheet. I am so disappointed. Want to order another set, but won't due to poor quality.Read More
scratchy sheets
These sheets are uncomfortable so I couldn't use them. I found the texture of these sheets are rough and scratchy. I washed them three times hoping to break them in but it didn't help so I gave them away. I own much more comfortable Egyptian cotton sheets of the same thread count and paid around the same price (which were also from Overstock). I'm a bit picky about my bed sheets and I would say that these sheets are awful!!Read More
Very soft and comfortable at first. But then after a few nights of sleeping on them they got the little fiber tags all over them--little nubbly things. Tells me its poor quality.Read More
Sheets just don't make the grade.
I ordered this set of sheets based on the information listed. Unfortunately it did NOT include that these sheets are single ply Pima Cotton. Don't be fooled. These sheets are soft, but they aren't THAT soft, and they are soooo thin, they won't last as long as other 400 TC sheets do. These sheets wrinkle BADLY. No only in the drier, but on the bed too. The good part is they are without a doubt, the deepest pocket sheets on the market (at this price anyway.) A big disappointment and not the quality I have come to expect from Overstock.Read More
Comfort within the Sheets
I finally have comfort and can sleep without my sheets ripping off my mattress. These sheets are truly comfortable, soft, deep pockets, and rich in color (purchased black). The sheets are exactly what I was hoping for considering I also purchased a mattress topper (also very comfy). Thanks Overstock, I am sleeping on cloud nine and will order another sheet set once the blue becomes available.Read More
Loved the soft feel.
Gave as a gift to my mother-in-law, she said they fit her new thick mattress perfectly.Read More
Nice sheets
These are lovely sheets that fit our mattress and topper well. No slipping in the corners!Read More
Nice feel
Very nice feel. Soft and silky. If you have a deep mattress, this sheet set will not disappoint. It is very deep. It shrank a bit after washing and it fits even better. Would recommend to anyone wanting soft and silky. Not sturdy like higher count sheets but very nice.Read More
so glad I bought these...
these are the softest sheets I have...I have a set with a higher thread count, that doesn't come close to the comfort of these sheets...Read More
SOOOOO disappointed
These sheets sounded like just what I wanted. Sadly, they are anything but. They are so thin I can literally see through them. The makers must realize how flimsy they are because, unlike REAL cotton sheets, washing instructions say to use only cold water on the delicate setting. I am sending them back.Read More

Will you be getting in more of the Charcoal color in King Size? It's so perfect for our room!
Hello arianezen, items are restocked as they become available; however we cannot guarantee an item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us! L.B.
I have lots of pillows. Can you buy extra pillowcases? Thanks!
Im unsure if you can, but these sheets were not very soft. I would find sheets you can touch before buying these
Are the pictured colors of the sheets accurate? The one that says it's grey looks like it's brown to me, not grey. I'm looking for a light grey sheet set.
The burgundy is the same as pictured.
Hello, we strive to provide the most accurate images of our products, however due to the difference in monitors colors displayed can vary slightly. in the 3rd image the grey appears to be more of a charcoal color than a light grey. I hope this is helpful. Thank you for shopping with us.
I bought the light blue and the color was true to the picture
I also bought the light blue and the color was true.
The grey is a dark grey/silver. Matches my black and grey comforter perfectly.
I bought the sage green Is the same as pictured.
The blue and the green are true to the picture.
What brand are these sheets?
Hello why1ime, we are unable to disclose the manufacturer of some of our products; however, Overstock.com stands behind every product we sell. When necessary we can contact suppliers if a product issue arises. Thank you for shopping with us.
I have a king size matress that is only 7" deep do they still make fitted sheets for this size matress
Hello stevep55, these Egyptian Cotton 650 Thread Count Solid Color Pillowcase Set Item #: 11217298 will work. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
unless they say they are oversize most of the regular sheets will go on your mattress but doubt they will stay tight. most are making them for the 10 inch size anymore.
is it one fitted sheet or is a set of different colors, because they seem like they only offer one color ?
Hello shnitzel, This item comes with one flat sheet, one fitted sheet and one or two pillow cases depending on the size of bed you order them for. Thank you for shopping Overstock.com; let us know if you have any additional questions.
It is a one-color sheet set (one fitted sheet and one flat sheet.)
Set of 1flat, 1 fitted. Just got these, very nice quality
if my mattress is only 13"-15" tall, will this fitted sheet fit snug or will it be loose (and possibly come off)?
My mattress is 22 in thick and these fit nicely. I would say if your mattress is less than 20 in, then unfortunately, they may come off.
I have a very deep matress and the sheets do not come off and they fit over the matress so the elastic goes down under the underneath of the matress. My matress is about 22 inches thick.
If it's 15" like mine, it will fit just right. Snug enough to hold the sheet straight. But not so tight you have to struggle to get it on the bed.
My mattress isn't as tall as yours - I would think this sheet would fit a 13-15 inch tall mattress pretty well.
Do these sheets feel like sateen (slippery/silky) or are they more of a soft comfy cotton? I am looking for a soft cotton sheet that isn't sateen. Thanks!
These sheets (when new) feel comfy cotton, not sateen. Although now that I have had them for some time, they have pilled, which doesn't make me very happy :-(
If you've ever worn a pima cotton T-shirt, the sheets feel like that. I don't care for sateen/slippery/silky -- I appreciate a good cotton sheet with at least a 350 thread count. Pima is one of the nicest fabrics you can get for sheets (and T-shirts!)
I have only washed my sheet once and it feels good - not slippery.
Not too slippery or too thick. They are soft and a natural fiber, which is what is important to me.
I have a Full XL mattress (53x80"). Will the full size sheets work even with the abillty to fit up to 20" deep mattress? RDF
My mattress is 22 inches deep and they fit very well and stay on.
don't know only have 2 regular size full beds.
I got the Cal King, whihc is the largest. The mattress we have is 13 inches deep with the mattress pad on it. It is deep enough. I would read the listing and see if it says up to ___ deep.
How deep is the fitted bottom sheet.?
21", lots of room for thick mattresses
It fits our newly purchased mattress very well. It is 21" deep (I measured it) and with it fitting our mattress so very tightly,I feel our mattress may be slightly deeper than 21".
Plent;y deep for our 22" mattress.
Lots of room left after we put it on our 21" mattress!! Fits very well
does fitted sheet have elastic all around or just at corners?
all around I beleive, I ordered for my mama in Ohio.
Thank you for your inquiry. The elastic on the fitted sheets go all around this item.
Elastic all the way around the fitted sheet
how are these sheets finished are they singed & or mercerized
This item has gone through both singing and mercerizing processes.
What company makes these sheets?
We are unable to disclose the manufacturer of some of our products, however, Overstock.com stands behind every product we sell. When necessary we can contact suppliers if a product issue arises. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Are these sheets single ply?
Yes, the sheets are single ply.
Where are these sheets made?
The sheets are made in Pakistan.
What is 100 % ( Pima ) cotton ? Is it better than just 100% cotton ?
Pima cotton is similar to Egyptian cotton. It is a heavier weave compared to regular cotton. It creates a thicker sheet for longevity.
Shopping Guides
Bed Sheet Thread Count Fact Sheet
The thread count of bed sheets refers to the number of threads per square inch of fabric. For example, if a square inch of fabric in a 300-thread count sheet with a standard weave were examined closely, 150 vertical threads and 150 horizontal threads would be counted, for a sum total of 300. The higher the thread count, the softer and smoother the sheets will be. Thread count is an important consideration to take when choosing a new set of sheets, but it should not be used as a sole indicator of quality. Equally important in choosing a bed sheet is the type and quality of the materials used as well as the fabric's weave.
FAQs about Sateen Sheets
Sateen sheets are high-quality sheets woven in the same way as traditional satin. Unlike satin, sateen sheets are made with more common fibers, such as cotton. Sateen sheets are soft to the touch and allow skin to slide smoothly into bed. Sateen sheets are available in very high thread counts, and as such, are quite durable. Take a look below for some of the most frequently asked questions about sateen sheets.

Quick Facts about Egyptian Cotton Sheet Sets

No wind here in Fuerteventura's North Shore at the moment.
Some small waves were breaking around the coast though, allowing some of the riders to relax and enjoy some surfing or paddling.
Others took advantage of this cruisin' day to check their emails, share views about new board shapes or prepare their equipment while Yannick was pretty busy with Boujmaa, Francisco and Thomas' boards to fix before the conditions arrive.
Actually, all riders feel pretty confident (and happy!) as the forecast seems optimistic from Tuesday and for the whole next week!
