The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
So how is the blizzard Krait flying?
Views: 309
Ahhhhhh! Dangit! That was another disc I meant to pick up and try out over the weekend, but forgot about it. Looking forward to hearing responses.... :) Thanks Christian for the Reminder.
Got some but ain't thrown one yet...
not to change the subject but what about the new Lycan disc ? anybody chunked that one yet ?
I picked up a couple Brand New Star Lycans. Threw them for a few weeks. As soon as they started breaking in, I could not keep them from turning over. SUPER DOMEY disc. I have settled on the Discmania MD2 Fiend for the Perfect straight mid. It is basically a Roc with more glide and less fade.
me and domey disc dont get along. thanks for the info
Bought a few of the Sparkle Kraits. It was VERY windy when I tossed the
, but when I had a chance to throw them. I got a nice helix out of them when thrown with a little hyzer angle on them. Thrown flat they would anhyzer most of the flight and then come back. I got one throw with no wind and when thrown flat it flew dead straight with a decent hyzer out.
Will toss some more during the week, but so far I dig them. Heck, it's already in my bag!
Yeah I have thrown the Lycans also, they are like a lightly stable Mako, Very domey as Jeff said.
Nice! That is Good to hear. I have been gong back and forth all day now wondering if I should try the Krait. The Archons in my bag are Awful stable for their rating and I am sure the Krait will fly pretty similar. Lol.
Ya they are pretty close. I got more "D" and a straighter flight from the Krait, but we'll see how they really fly when it's not gusting up to 30mph! Must add that I did throw them in the trees. So the wind didn't mess with them tooooo much, but those dang trees sure did! Jeeze I hate it when the trees decide to jump out in the middle of the fairway just as I throw.
Alright Rick. You talked me into it. LOL.
Ends up I am gonna play in a 159.9gm Discs AND UNDER only Tourney next Saturday, so I ordered a Blizzard Krait to try out this week. :)
Cool! I think you'll like it, because it seems like we throw around the same distance. Just picked up some blizzard Apes and Boss'. I can't throw the heavy ones, but since it's the windy season around here.,I need an overstable driver. So I thought I'd see if anything can beat out my Teerex?
Well, good luck in the tourny next week!

2013 Golden Globes Motion Picture Best Actress Nominees
Barbara DeFranco / January 9, 2013
Credit: The Weinstein Company
BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – COMEDY OR MUSICAL: Jennifer Lawrence, 'Silver Linings Playbook'
6 of 10
For a film that seemed, at a glance, exactly what you'd expect it to be, people keep leaving 'Silver Linings Playbook' with remarkable word-of-mouth. A huge percentage of that praise goes to Jennifer Lawrence for her incredibly strong performance as a neurotic young widow. Fresh off her success with 'The Hunger Games', it'd be easy to dismiss Lawrence as another teen-skewed actress, but her hugely acclaimed showing in David O. Russell's romantic comedy cements her as the real deal. Chances of winning: Quite high

Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 17 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by H Excellent product Bought to use with P90X workout. This is a well made and very functional workout tool. The chin-up bar has nice grips, the push-up grips I use much more than I thought I would as it saves my wrists when doing push-ups. The arm supports are great for a stomach workout. A video is included that shows how to use all the equipment and you can get a great workout with this product. I highly recommend it. August 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by agitator Almost ideal Only issue I have with this is that I discovered during the assembly of the bar that it will only work within a specific range of door frame thickness. This will probably never be an issue for most but, since I live in a very old house most of my walls/door frames are considerably thicker than the maximum 6" that will work. I did find one door frame that will just barely work since it was added at a later date for an addition. If not for that I would have returned it. I don't recall this detail being specified in the description. Other than that it is a great value for everything you get in the bundle rather than purchasing all the pieces individually. May 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bob Product works great! Beats spending hundreds of dollars annually on gym memberships. Product works great. But I found out after 50 years and 70 lbs I can't do a pull up anymore. Hopefully that will change as I work my way back into shape. June 26, 2014

Want a new way to quickly and elegantly switch between tabs in Firefox? FoxTab is a new experimental add-on for Firefox, and it makes switching between tabs a very unique experience.
You can view your tabs in a number of different ways:
- Wall – like a TV store. select the desired tab ("TV screen") from a wall.
- Grid – the tabs are aligned on a grid.
- Row – the tabs arranged in a row.
- Cycle – rotate between tabs.
Activating it is easy. Either hit the toolbar button for it, or hold the Ctrl key down and then hit the Tab key. If you want to keep it front and center, just hit Ctrl + Q. From the options, you can also set the size of the tab switcher (just in case you don't like it being full screen).
All in all it provides a new visual method for quick tab switching that is both useful and beautiful at the same time. Currently FoxTab is only for Windows users, and is an experimental add-on. If you wish to download it, and try it out – you can do so at the Firefox Add-ons site.

Hurricane Sandy Recovery: Volunteerism
While the majority of Long Island was devastated by Hurricane Sandy, with millions left without power, heat, or fuel, the students of Webb Institute were fortunate enough to live comfortably through this disaster. As a student body, we are incredibly grateful to everyone who ensured our comfort despite the widespread destruction, and we wanted more than anything to give back in a time of need. In true Webb spirit, a number of students have already volunteered their time in the local community. We are very proud to report on the overwhelmingly positive student response when asked for volunteers. Henry Jansen, Eric Harris, Gabe Poritz, Matt Weklar, Nolan Conway, Casey Brown, and Oleg Golubev, under the leadership of Matt Graham, led the charge with their efforts in Bayville. Later in the week, Henry, Eric, Matt Graham, and John Carlson continued the campaign.
The most significant effort, however, was spearheaded by Nolan Conway who led a trip to Oceanside to help one of the most devastated places. Casey Brown, Bryce Bartling, Alex Hanford, Gabe Poritz, Stefan Kuczera, Erin Hub, Brian Mills, and Mike Chen all went with Nolan to coordinate with Pat Doherty in helping a neighborhood in severe need. These selfless individuals helped with home renovation in the storm's aftermath and saved the residents from weeks of hard labor.
Webb could not be represented by a higher caliber of person than those who have volunteered to help others, and those who will help in the future. Thank you to everyone who has helped not only to repair the damage around us but also to show what a giving and selfless community Webb Institute is.

The best way for Jordan to be a Gronk stopper is by putting Brady on his ass.
True that. Pressure , pressure, pressure
Well he definately wasnt an Ertz stopper when he had a field day versus Oregon this year
Member of the EIB club
Jordan also played that game with a torn rotator cuff.
He very rarely if at all was on Ertz. One thing if you watch the stanford game he has some really bad insticts at times and takes bad angles to tackles. You will see alot of him getting stood up at line of scrimmage.
Go ahead...SHOOT ME!
Seriously though, Dion Jordan brings so much to this defense. I bet they will will use him all over the place. Dropping into coverage, blitzing behind DT's, from the edge, OLB, hybrid 3-4's 5-2's, heck this is Kevin Coyles chance to really scheme for every offense he comes up against. We are gonna be lethal - book it Infantryman!
I believe any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle...Victorious

A one-year-old Fairfax County juvenile diversion program called TAP, aimed at educating at-risk youth about the unpleasant realities of prison life, seems to be achieving some anecdotal success and is planning to expand.
"At-risk kids are able to see and hear first-hand the effects of making a right decision versus a wrong decision," says Deputy Sheriff Lieutenant Steve Elbert, about the tours and presentations he leads at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center. The Sheriff's Office initiated the TAP (Teen Awareness Program) a year ago, in partnership with the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, to become part of the court's diversion program for first-time, non-violent juvenile offenders.
Diversion is the informal process of handling of cases by the Juvenile Court Services Unit of Fairfax County Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court. It is only available for first-time youth offenders who admit guilt of appropriate offenses. The benefit of a diversion is that there is no formal charge and cases are closed within a specified timeframe provided that the juvenile is compliant with their diversion program. Juveniles who are non-compliant may be formally charged and required to appear before a judge for trial.
In the TAP program, juveniles are introduced to shackled inmates who can be simultaneously intimidating and educational in describing their poor life choices. Tours are scheduled 5-10 times per year, during summer and other school breaks.
The Sheriff's Office limits each tour to 15 teenagers and strongly recommends to the court that a parent accompany each teen.
"The program is a lot like the well-known 'Scared Straight' initiative, but instead of scaring them, we are educating them," said Elbert.
According to a 2011 study performed by the Center for the Study of Social Policy, the Juvenile Court Services Unit of Fairfax County Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court processed 5,686 delinquency and status complaints, or 8.7 percent of the total processed in the state. Twenty-three percent of those complaints were resolved or diverted at the intake level. Felony offenses accounted for 18 percent of the complaints, class 1 misdemeanors for 37 percent, status offenses for 9 percent and technical violations for 15 percent. The average active monthly juvenile probation caseload in the county is more than 600 youths.
"When parents share the TAP experience with their teenager they have something to discuss on the ride home from the jail," Elbert said. "If the parents see new signs of poor decision-making weeks or months later, they can return to the same discussion."
The TAP tour starts with a presentation about the demographics of the jail population, the range of criminal charges, different levels of security, the role of a deputy sheriff, and the daily schedule for inmates.
After the introduction, Elbert takes the group on a tour through the intake process, the crowded holding cells and the different housing areas. The emphasis is on the lack of privacy, loss of freedom and privileges, and the monotony of daily life.
Following the tour, Elbert and a pre-selected inmate talk about their parallel situations, the choices each has made, and the radically different outcomes.
"Early in high school, I occasionally ran with some bad crowds," says Elbert. "Twice I found myself in a situation where I could have committed a felony with my friends or walk away. Both times I made the right decision. Today, I am a law enforcement officer because of my choices. Often a participating inmate will relate how he was faced with similar choices and chose the path that led to where he is now."
After the tour, teens have the opportunity to direct their questions to the inmates.
According to Elbert, the most frequently asked questions concern whether the inmate can contact family and friends, and how often he can have visitors. "Parents often ask the inmate if his path to jail was related to, or influenced by, the use of illegal drugs," he said.
Colleen Cramer, a hearing officer in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, said she was impressed after accompanying Elbert on the first tour. "His tone of professionalism and respect and recognition of the fact that many inmates are good people who make poor choices help our diversion program participants realize that someday it may be just one decision separating them from the people they will be seeing behind bars," Cramer said.
According to Cramer, one mother wrote her that on their way home from the tour, her son said he would not have done what he did had he seen the jail beforehand. "The Sheriff's Office should continue to provide young adults with this wake-up call," the parent wrote.
Elbert said the Sheriff's Office is now preparing to expand the program to include referrals of suspected at-risk kids from local public schools by School Resource Officers.
The SROs are assigned to middle and high schools throughout the county during the school year, with the goal of creating and maintaining a safe and orderly learning environment for students, teachers and staff.
"We would provide a separate tour for the kids referred by the SROs, Elbert said.
"The idea there is to educate them before they get into trouble, as opposed to after."

I Had High Blood Pressure
Now it's down to 120/75
I Did it Without Drugs!
Read testimonials from Real Customers below:
Cutting Edge for Healthy Blood Pressure...
The best of the best, Avalowerin takes BP nutrition science to the next level.
Four decades of nutritional science research has yielded Avalowerin for faster, more precise and more powerful results. This cutting-edge blood pressure formula combines the Chinese herb Cordyceps with scientifically extracted concentrate of Flavonoid Glycosides.
While analyzing these two nutrients, Herb Tech scientist discovered Cordyceps helps promote the opening and closing of blood vessels, supporting healthy blood flow and healthy cardiovascular system. They also found Flavonoid Glycosides promotes the heart muscle contract more forcefully thereby keeping blood vessels open and allowing blood to flow smoothly. Together along with seven other blood pressure targeting nutrients make Avalowerin a powerful natural formula to promote healthy blood pressure health levels already in normal range.
My doctor says "Keep on using Avalowerin"
"I have been using Avalowerin for a few months and have seen a dramatic change in my health. I'm a 54 year old retired male and prior to using Avalowerin my blood pressure was 160/95, now it is 120/62. I feel better in so many ways. My doctor approves of my natural Avalowerin pills and has even recommended that I keep on using Avalowerin. Thank you for this wonderful product."
"It's 100% natural and that's what I like"
"My high blood pressure at my doctors appointment was 248/151. She wanted to put me on more pills, but I told her I was already taking too many and asked her to give me a little time. By some miracle I saw your advertisement for Avalowerin and it caught my eye. I liked the fact that I could try it before I purchased it. In 3 months, my blood pressure had come down to 135/88, I was so proud I asked the doctor for a copy. My doctor said she had never seen anything happen so fast that was 100% natural. It's been 6 months since I started taking Avalowerin, I am still in the healthy range and my doctor said my arteries are very healthy."
"BP goes from 210/105 to 140/74"
"My name is Eba and I'm 48 year old. I feel I need to write you and tell you how thrilled I am with what your remarkable product has done in lowering my blood pressure. My BP was sky high at 210/105. A friend at work gave me your web site and said I should give it a try, boy am I glad I did. I think you might have saved my life. I now check my BP every morning and am happy to say it has come way down 140/74."
"Avalowerin rather than drugs"
"In May of 2009 my Systolic Blood Pressure level was 190 and my Physician wanted me to start taking a blood pressure lowering agent. I said no way and elected to find an alternative which I'm pleased to say was Avalowerin. My recent Systolic level was within the normal range and my Diastolic level was much lower as well. The only thing I can contribute my success to is your product, because my diet stayed the same. I have started my wife on it rather than the drugs."
The product discussed above can be ordered online at http://www.avalowerin.com/

I've never heard of aluminum fluxcore for MIG welding, but I have seen aluminum stick welding. Many years ago, I had a left crankcase from my Harley Knucklehead with a broken lug on a motor mount. I took it to a welding shop and watched the welder do a beautiful job with a gas torch, aluminum rod and some flux in a can.
I noticed that it was difficult to tell what temperature the metal was since as we all know, aluminum doesn't change color like ferrous metals will. The fellow knew what he was doing however, since he quickly did a wonderful job. Once the flux was removed, it left a nice clean weld. He left me enough extra so that I could file it back into shape and then drill a new 3/8" hole for the bolt. When I got through, it looked like new. I remember he only charged me $5.00. It would be a little more now, I'm sure.
The problem with gas welding aluminum is that the range between when it's ready to weld and when it melts and hits the floor is not very broad. On the good side, you provide your own preheat with the torch.
A TIG welder is a much better way to go. I have gotten to the point where I can do a good weld with my Miller 200 Syncrowave, which is all the machine a hobbiest such as myself would need. The only other machine I would want would be a Miller inverter version and that's out of budget.
As to the original poster's weld, that looks like some other alloy. It's hard to tell. He should get an "A" for effort, though.

the welding of aluminum with flux core is not normal.
the reason is the low melting point of alumimnum. the flux core wire haveing a power inside ,requires more heat to operate.
gas (argon) is normaly used with the process. this provides good coverage of the weld pool.
tig on a.c.h.f is very good but slower to weld with. however on thin metals like is great. you can use stick rods for aluminum,but outside of a brand called sodel,i don't like them.
with the new types of welding process and how to weld them i maybe wrong? as far as i know the flux core is not use.

Just saw this post and have to say wow. They made a toy welder that would leave a bead on the toy trucks with some type of hardening silly putty rods. The trucks would crash and you weld them back together. Perhaps they sold that in a larger scale..... Sorry I had to say that. If you ever see this try and post a pic.
I'm thinking the only possible thing that could have taken place is the heat from the flux core melted the aluminum enough to get fusion of both pieces of the cleat. I wouldn't risk my life or limbs on that cleat.

After reading and seeing this post I am convinced that this country should be more concerned about Welder Laws instead of Gun Laws,and I am not gun laws!Sorry Dude but you made about three mistakes on this,Welding that cleat,talking about it and posting the picture but as I am a newbe to this post,I do have hope that the joke is on us.If you really want to test it,put it in a gas forge for six hours if the weld is still there you'll be good to go.

For the 2008 holiday season I tried the all-online shopping approach for the first time. I had my items picked out, purchased, delivered to my door, and even wrapped by December 12! It was an unprecedented feat for me personally and I was overjoyed at the lack of stress involved — that is until I found out the big surprise gift of a digital camera for my Mom turned out to be duplicated by another friend of hers! What does this have to do with the USPS OIG blog? We'll get there…
After resigning myself to the fact that the other camera was actually better than the one I purchased, it became clear that I would have to return the item, and my dread mounted. What a hassle — there was no 'store' for the virtual vendor I purchased it from, so I'd have to find the invoice, repackage the thing, and get it back to the online seller. Just thinking about how long that would take gave me a headache. That is until I logged into the vendor site and saw that they had something called USPS Parcel Return Service. I thought whoa, what is this? And to my delight, I found that with two mouse clicks and my printer, I could get the return invoice for the package and a pre-paid USPS shipping label for the box! It took me less than 5 minutes to plop the item and invoice in the box, fold and tape the label to it, and be on my way to drop it at a local post office. There was even an option to schedule a pickup of the package free of charge by my local carrier, but I felt entirely too guilty at how easy it was to that point to take advantage.
So, I stopped by the local post office on my way to work, went in the main lobby, and dropped it straight in the parcel box. E-mails from the vendor confirmed the arrival of the return package, and just this week I received the refund of the purchase price. Easy as that! So next holiday season, I'm not going to let this minor blip keep me from shopping online. Instead, I'm going to look for more vendors who offer this convenient service and online-shop away!
Have you used Parcel Return Service or Merchandise Return Service? Was your experience similar to Nicole's? If not, what happened, and how would you improve these services?

Recap | BoxscoreBushey throws two-hit shutout, Bucs down Wolfpack 2-0 to take series
Sunday, May 08, 2011
RALEIGH, N.C. (May 7, 2011) - Sophomore right-hander Derek Bushey (Richmond, Va.) allowed just two hits in throwing his first career shutout as the ETSU baseball team blanked North Carolina State in a pitcher's duel Saturday night at Doak Field in Raleigh, N.C. to take the series.
The win is the eighth straight for the Bucs (30-15, 12-10 A-Sun) who are one victory away from tying the school record of nine consecutive wins.
Bushey faced just four batters over the minimum as the Richmond, Va. native was lights out for ETSU. The sophomore improved to 5-3 on the year after striking out six with three free passes. The complete game is the second of the series for ETSU as John Long (Anderson, S.C.) posted a four-hitter the previous night.
N.C. State starter Cory Mazzoni was equally as impressive going 8.2 innings holding the potent Buccaneer offense to just two runs on five hits while striking out nine in the loss.
Senior Paul Hoilman (Johnson City, Tenn.) gave ETSU a 1-0 lead in the top of the first as he plated Andrew Green (Powell, Tenn.) from third on a sacrifice fly to left to give ETSU a 1-0 lead.
In the top of the ninth, catcher Derek Trent (Kingsport, Tenn.) deposited his second home run of the series over the fence in right as he crushed a 1-0 fastball well over 400 feet to increase the Buccaneer advantage to 2-0. The homer was the 12th of the season for the local product.
The Bucs look to complete the sweep tomorrow at 1 p.m. as they face N.C. State in the series finale.

Additional Risks
The diseases below may be a risk in all or part of the country and are presented alphabetically:
Hepatitis A,
Hepatitis A is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the liver. A map showing the global areas at risk for hepatitis A can be found here (102 KB GIF)
Risk assessment
- EpidemiologyInformation on the occurrence of disease within this country - Hepatitis A is known to occur in this country although the risk to most travellers is considered to be low.
- ExposureInformation on the mode of transmission and factors that may increase disease risk - Hepatitis A is transmitted through contaminated food and water. Travellers who will have access to safe food and water are at low risk. Those at higher risk include travellers visiting friends and relatives, long stay travellers, and those visiting areas of poor sanitation.
Risk management
- Travellers should practice strict food, water and personal hygiene precautions.
- Vaccine may be givenMost travellers at low risk, consider vaccine for those in risk categories to travellers whose planned activities put them at higher risk of exposure (see above).
- Because hepatitis A vaccine is well tolerated and affords long-lasting protection, it may be givenMost travellers at low risk, consider vaccine for those in risk categories to all previously unvaccinated travellers.
Vaccine should also be given to those with chronic liver disease or haemophilia, men who have sex with men, injecting drug users and those at occupational risk.
Rabies has not been reported in domestic or wild animals in this country however, bats may carry rabies-like viruses.
Risk assessment
- ExposureInformation on the mode of transmission and factors that may increase disease risk - Rabies transmission may occur following contact with the saliva of an infected bat (via bites, scratches or saliva contact with mucous membranes). Bites from bats are frequently unrecognised. The risk of exposure to bats may be increased for certain occupations e.g. veterinarians.
Children are at increased risk as they are less likely to avoid contact with animals and to report a bite or lick.
Risk management
- Travellers should avoid contact with bats.
- Pre-exposure vaccination should be considered for adults and children who are at increased risk (see above).
- Following a bite, wounds should be thoroughly cleansed and an urgent medical assessment sought, even if the wound appears trivial. Prompt post-exposure treatmentis required, even if pre-exposure vaccine has been received.
Post-exposure management and advice on return to the UK should be in accordance with PHE guidelines.
Suitable vaccine and immunoglobulin may be in short supply or unavailable in some countries.

- ExposureInformation on the mode of transmission and factors that may increase disease risk - Tetanus bacteria are present in soil and manure and may be introduced through open wounds such as a puncture wound, burn or scratch.
Risk management
- Travellers should thoroughly clean all wounds and seek appropriate medical attention
- Travellers should have completed a primary vaccination course according to the UK schedule.
- A booster dose should be givenAll travellers in risk categories should receive vaccine to travellers whose last dose of a tetanus-containing vaccine was given more than 10 years ago, and who will not have ready access to medical care; even if they have received five doses previously.

Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a viral disease affecting the central nervous system.
Risk assessment
- EpidemiologyInformation on the occurrence of disease within this country - There is a risk of TBE in some areas of the country below 1,400m. The transmission season varies, however, ticks are most active during early spring to late autumn (March to November).
- ExposureInformation on the mode of transmission and factors that may increase disease risk - TBE is transmitted to humans via the bite of an infected Ixodes tick. Travellers are at risk via exposure to ticks during outdoor activities in areas of vegetation (gardens, parks, forest fringes, meadows and marshes) below 1,400m. Cases of TBE may also occur following ingestion of unpasteurised milk products.
Risk management
- Travellers should take tick bite avoidance measures during outdoor activities.
- Travellers should check themselves for ticks and be aware of effective tick removal methods.
- Travellers should not eat or drink unpasteurised milk products.
- TBE vaccine may be givenMost travellers at low risk, consider vaccine for those in risk categories to travellers whose planned activities put them at risk (see above).
Clinical Updates | General Risks | Vaccine Preventable Risks | Non-Vaccine Preventable Risks
This section details infectious disease risks for which there are no vaccines as well as some non-infectious disease risks. This is not an exhaustive list. Further information about infectious and non-infectious disease risks can be found on the NaTHNaC Health Information Sheets. Travellers should be aware that accidents and injuries are a cause of serious illness during travel.
There is no risk of malaria in this country.
Additional Risks
The risks below may be a risk in all or part of the country and are presented alphabetically:
There is a point of elevation in this country higher than 2,500 metres (m).
Risk assessment
- Travel to destinations of 2,500-3,500 m (8,200-11,500 feet) or higher carries the risk of altitude illness. Important risk factors for altitude illness are the altitude gained, rate of ascent and sleeping altitude. Rapid ascent without a period of acclimatisation puts a traveller at higher risk.
Risk management
- The most important prevention measure is adequate acclimatisation.
- Travellers should spend a few days at an intermediate altitude below 3,000 m.
- Ascent above 3,000 m should be gradual with no more than a 300 - 500 m increase in sleeping altitude per day, with a rest day every three days.
- Acetazolamide is recognised for use in the prevention of altitude illness. It should not replace acclimatisation and gradual ascent.
- Travellers who develop symptoms of altitude illness (headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea and sleep disturbance) should avoid further ascent. In the absence of improvement or with progression of symptoms the first response should be to descend.
- Development of more severe forms of altitude illness, high-altitude cerebral oedema (HACE) (confusion, difficulty with balance and coordination) or high-altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPE) (shortness of breath at rest, cough and chest tightness), require immediate descent and emergency medical treatment.

What foods contain probiotics?
Fermented dairy products have been advertised as containing "beneficial cultures." These cultures are what would now be considered probiotics. Other foods currently claiming to provide probiotics are cereal, juice, frozen yogurt, granola, candy bars, and cookies. While they may contain probiotics, there is no guarantee that they have them in the amount or in the form that is necessary to get the health benefits you are looking for. Only the manufacturer of the product can tell you if there are any studies to support their specific product.
What are the side effects and risks of probiotics?
Supplements are not monitored in the U.S. the way that food or medication is. They fall under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). This requires that the dietary supplement or dietary ingredient manufacturer be responsible for ensuring that a dietary supplement or ingredient is safe before it is marketed. The only time that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may get involved is if action is needed to be taken against a manufacturer after the supplement is marketed and then found to be unsafe. This means that as much as we may know about probiotics, we can't be certain of the safety or content of the supplements available to us.
There is one Voluntary Certification Program by which a supplement manufacturer can choose to be evaluated. ConsumerLab.com (CL) is the leading provider of independent test results and information to help consumers and health care professionals identify the best quality health and nutrition products. Products that have passed their testing for identity, strength, purity, and disintegration can print the CL Seal of Approval on their product. This is one step toward being confident that you are getting the amount and type of probiotic promised by the manufacturer.
While some studies have shown many health benefits of probiotics, more research still needs to be done to be sure that they are safe and effective as a supplement and in foods. This is especially true for children, pregnant women, elderly people, and people with compromised immune systems. For people with suppressed immune systems due to disease or treatment for a disease (such as cancer chemotherapy), taking probiotics may actually increase your chances of getting sick. Always speak with your doctor before taking any supplement under these circumstances.

"Servings are broken off, piece by piece. This snack cake can be enjoyed all year around thanks to frozen blueberries."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2/3 cup
white sugar
1 tablespoon
ground cinnamon
4 (10 ounce) cans
refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough
1 1/4 cups
frozen blueberries, dry pack
10 tablespoons
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 cup
frozen blueberries, dry pack
Took this to work and got rave reviews. Made in a bundt pan and the only change I made was that I used 3 cans of buttermilk biscuit dough instead of 4 (rose just the right height and did not make a mess all over my stove)and used fresh blueberries instead of frozen. Thanks Eleanor
This was a disaster! The biscuits and blueberries flooded all over the place. It turned out too gooey and soggy. Any way to fix this?

An interesting twist to regular monkey bread. The batches that I made for my dorm floor were gone in a few hours. Very good with raspberries too.
This breakfast sweet was a hit at all the brunches I've brought it to. It's a little labor intensive to roll all the biscuits in cinnamon and sugar, but it's well worth the time. I have also substituted strawberries, raspberries,blackberries, and peaches.
Mmmm, delicious! THis takes me back to when I was young and we'd get stickybuns for 75 cents...
I didn't have canned biscuits, so I used 2 packages of "bisquick complete cinnamon swirl" biscuits and made a 1/2 recipe in a 8X8 square pan. cooking time was closer to 45-50 mins, and I used raisins instead of blueberries. Also, I just dumped the extra couple of Tbsp sugar/cinnamon mixture from rolling the dough in into the syrup, so it is thicker & less gooey.
One thing I need to stress is that you should invert this over a cake plate immediately! If you wait for it to cool, it won't want to come out due to the syrup hardening.
This would be amazing with chopped walnuts as well. I would layer them under the dough so that when the syrup goes through to the bottom and you invert it, therewould be a caramely walnutty topping. YUmmy!
This was fantastic! I stuck loosely to the recipe, using just 2 jumbo buttermilk tube biscuits, (accidentally) adding about 1 or 2 tablespoons of vanilla, using 1 quart-sized ziplock bag of blueberries for the entire recipe, and using the remaining sugar/cinnamon mixture that I rolled the biscuits in for the sugar/cinnamon/butter mix that I boiled on the stove. Even with these adjustments, it came out great. We didin't even wait for it to cool before we all dug in.
This got rave reviews at my office. Here's what I did: I used 2 cans (12oz each) of the biscuits. All other quantities werre the same. I compiled it the night before and popped it in the oven in the morning so it would be hot to take to work. I only used half of the sauce (other reviewers said there was too much sauce), but due to the overnight refrigeration, I could have used more. It wasn't as gooey as others described when I baked it, but more moist with blueberry sauce. Was great and can be modified to fit almost any taste. Could also use frozen rolls and compile it the night before - just stick it in a cold oven overnight, and turn the oven on when you get up!
This is a wonderful recipe the whole family will enjoy!

Nice sheets
Very comfortable and a good deal for the price.Read More
Would not buy again. Picked up lint or fizz from blanket and will not come off. Looks terrible with all the lint . Really wouldn't give it one star but needed to to get to write my reviewRead More
Not worth the price!! Shrink!
These sheets were disappointing. They felt nothing like 530 thread count and shrunk as soon as I washed them. The reason you buy sheets like this is so that they stay nice and do not shrink. I got the opposite with this purchase.Read More
Beautiful sheets
Bought these for my daughter and they are beautiful and feel so soft!Read More
Inconsistent product
Initially ordered these in a white extra-long twin and was very happy with the quality - easily 4 star. So a week later I clicked on the same link (from my personal order history) and order the product in California king size. This is not the same product. The twin is a nice thick cotton sheets where the cal. king is a thin sateen product. Would have considered returning cal. king if I hadn't needed them two days later.Read More
Decidedly Okay
I had higher hopes for the feel of the fabric after reading another review. Make no mistake, the fabric is quite nice, but I was hoping for a silkier and more polished feel. I would describe the weight as "medium." These made-in-India sheets came out of the washer/dryer looking very nice and nearly wrinkle free, but the fabric has a "nap" that I'm not crazy for. This nap is going to grab flannel and cotton bed clothes and hang on tight enough for a serious "nightgown twist" or "pajama wedgie." Maybe this nap will lessen after repeated laundering - I certainly hope so. I ordered "taupe" which is nearly as dark brown as dark chocolate. None of these things are a big enough issue for me to return the sheets, but it's still a bit disappointing and I wouldn't buy them again.Read More
Good choice...very comfortable...great fit
Bought these sheets in sage and think they are great. The color is what I expected. The material quality exceeded my expectations. I have the 8" Serta memory foam mattress that I bought from this site. I also have a 2" memory foam topper that I put on it. WIth the mattress and topper combined the sheets fit very well. They fit the corners very nice and they don't feel like they are about to rip as some others have. Fitted sheet fits the matress surface and corners tightly. Flat sheet is long enough to tuck deep under the footboard end of the mattress and still pull all of the way up to the top edge near the headboard. After 1st wash they were still a little too rough. After 2nd washing they had just a hint of newness / roughness. After 3rd wash they were comfortable. After 4th wash they are perfect. Definitely some of the most comfortable sheets I have slept on anywhere....ever! I don't think I would consider sheets with a lower thread count than these, especially for the insignificant difference in price compared to the several years of use that I will get out of them. Have no fear of these sheets after a few washes. Anyone that would complain about the comfortability of these sheets after washing out the newness probably has a life-long predisposition towards complaining about everything in life... those people annoy me.Read More
Heavenly Sheets
I bought these sheets to replace a set of 600 TC sheets that I bought in Egypt six years ago that had worn out. I was sceptical about them living up to the quality of the ones they were replacing but they definitely have! They have only been washed about three times but even after the first wash they had softened up and are very comfortable and they have not pilled at all. I will definitely be buying some more of them.Read More
After purchasing a cheap 200 TC set of sheets from ***, I knew I needed something much softer. I did some research about thread counts, materials, etc., & decided to order these. I was very disappointed to discover that these didn't feel any more comfortable than the cheap set from ***. While the material is heavier, they feel stiff & coarse, even after washing. I ended up purchasing a different brand w/ a 400 TC from *** for half the price, which are far more comfortable! If I were you, I'd save your money & shop elsewhere.Read More
Brown is Not Taupe
When I opened the package, I thought at first they had shipped the wrong color, but they didn't. I ordered 'taupe' and got that, but they really aren't. Beware, their taupe is "milk chocolate" brown. The cotton is a high quality, but they aren't soft. If you care about wrinkles (I don't) then don't buy these sheets. They wrinkle badly. All that said, I'm not returning them because they will soften and the cotton is a high quality. If you wan't a soft sheet to begin with, buy Sateen sheets.Read More
Questions & Answers
ok i just saw up to 18" thanks
Hello lfhmiami, this item can fit up to 18 inches deep of a mattress. Thank you for shopping with us.
Why did you choose this product?
I liked the burgundy better than the 800 thread count one (Cotton Blend 800 Thread Count Wrinkle-resistant Sheet Set and Pillowcase Separates) and the reviews on the 530 were much more positive than the 800.
I purchased the same set in Navy Blue and there good quality. They also fit my mattress like a glove.
I wanted 400 count or better with only cotton none of that sateen bullshit and this 530 set had been over $60 everywhere else I had seen it. Thanks
Cost and reviews...
because I needed new sheets
I need sheets. I appreciated the high thread count of my preferred fabric, combined with the reasonable price. I have ordered major household items for my home via overstock.com (several rugs--of all sizes, outdoor furniture, etc.) and have yet to send anything back. Hope this purchase continues the good luck!
Highest thread count/$ for twin xl
530 count... better not be cheap sheets.. hate them when they are light..
I have ordered sheets from Overstock in the past and was completely satisfied with my purchase I anticipate the same result
thread count and reviews
Good deal!
I have had them before - I love the cotton feel without the Sateen feel.
met my specifications
graduation gift for my niece.
I reviewed the ratings mostly I am familiar with these sheets and the thread count info. so go with the one with best reviews. One woman said she researched thread count and then decided I don't necessarily go with high thread count depends on if its cotton if any sateen not as good sheets.
Egyptian cotton is high quality. I wanted percale weave and high thread count. Also has the color I want.
Ratings and price
The color availability, thread count, and price.
Looking for nice sheets for a guest bedroom. Will have two sets now, in case of an extended stay.
Do they fit snuggly or is there a lot of extra give that bunches up?
Hello Mebrj, This is a fully elasticized sheet so it should fit snug. Thanks for shopping with us.
Do you have a fitted sheet set (above 530TC) can fit a 40" high king size?
Thank you for your yoyoarboo. All of our fitted sheets can fit mattresses form 15 up to 18 inches thick. If you are looking for something higher than 530, here are our recommendations: the Egyptian Cotton 650 Thread Count Oversized Solid Sheet Set, item 11406140 or the Egyptian Cotton 1200 Thread Count Solid Oversized Sheet Set, item 10871783. Have a great day.
Are these sheets considered sateen weave? I do not want sateen. I want a plain cotton sheet.
My sheets are not shiney. They are comfy cotton sheets with a "flat" white color.
I got the tan, they are a little shiny, but they are not slippery at all. You would be happy with these. They fit the bedding perfectly.
These are not sateen! If it's sateen, it has to say it somewhere. I hate sateen! Never again! These sheets are wonderful!
Is there a matching bed skirt?
Some are saying sateen and some are saying they are not.............Are they sateen or not? If they ar sateen which sheets on overstock are not sateen?
Hello mommom81, other customers have reviewed that the sheets themselves have changed in the last year. They have reviewed that the sheets are now sateen. Overstock offers several different choices for sheets that are not sateen. This link will take you to several choices of traditional cotton sheets. http://www.overstock.com/Bedding-Bath/Sheets/Cotton,/material,/459/dept.html?sort=Top+Sellers Thank you for shopping with us.
They were listed as parcel when I ordered them and once I received them they are defiantly sateen. And horrible!
I ordered these sheets a year ago and those sheets were amazing. These new sheets are completely different. They are shinny, and they have a full elastic around the bottom sheet. They used to be only fitted without elastic band. Looks and feels like they added sateen. Are these completey different sheets? They're not as good, and I'm 100 percent sure these are the same from when I ordered last time.
Hello floyd00, Thank you for inquiring about the Egyptian Cotton 530 Thread Count Solid Sheet Set. These are 100% cotton. I can't see your order from last year, I would imagine these are different. If you contact Customer Service directly they can compare the two for you, and perhaps find what you are looking for. That number is 1 800 843 2446. Thank you for shopping with us.
In the pricing for the King sheets, all of the colors are about $10 more than the white. But there is no pricing difference between colors for any of the other size sheets. Is this correct?
Yes, it is.
Do these have a sateen finish?
No sateen finish on these
yes, i say they do have a light sateen finish (bc the two sides are oh so slightly different- one is more matte- the other slightly more satiny)
Kinda it feels good fit very good and I will buy again for sure
No sateen. 100% Egyptian cotton. Nice sheets.
Definitely!!! I was disappointed to find them quite slick to the touch.
no but has a softness and for the price well worth it
NO sateen finish. Wish they did.
Are these wrinkle free
NO they are not wrinkle free but they are really nice. They are not a wrinkled mess when they come out of the dryer. I am very pleased with them. We have them on 2 different beds at our house. We have black sheets. They are a great, deep black. They are the best sheets in our house.
Not wrinkle free
NO! they are not wrinkle free- but they are heavy enough that if fold them carefully they can are fine. HOWEVER beware that they may shrink if you dry them-(my mistake)so let them air or line dry.
no, they do wrinkle, however it is not bad.
No, they are not wrinkle free. They are 100% cotton. Cotton wrinkles!! Was not a problem for me. Very soft and good thickness.
No, they are not wrinkle free. But if you fold them from the dryer when they are still warm and they are fine. Let them sit and cool, and you will need to iron them to get a crisp look. I agree with kintucson, great sheets.

Thank you for your interest. The flat sheet is used as the covering sheet, separating you from the blanket. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
