    Bought these after looking online for plain white cups that hold hot beverages. Best price on the web as far as I could tell. They shipped them UPS and they came quickly. For the size of box and weight - the $10 shipping was a bargain as well. Put on my disposable lids and they fit just fine (I have dixie black lids). Would buy them again.

    Very high quality and the customer service is top notch. I researched about shampoos and what materials to use and not to use on my children. I use this for my newborn and my toddler and both of them love it. It lathers well and has a very slight scent. We will be continuing to buy this shampoo.

    I ordered this shower curtain for my daughters apartment. She loves the color green and had green and white bedding she was trying to match. Let me tell you, it is not easy finding a normal green shower curtain - all the greens out there seem to be more in the sage family. Although this curtain is described as lime green it has normal shades of green in it too (i.e. kelly green, grass green, whatever you want to call it). Anyway it looks awesome in my daughters white bathroom and she loves it.

    This is really nice and works great for its purpose. Im a little reluctant to say its completely worth the $20 as white/silver eye liner may work just as well, but this goes on smooth, its easy to handle and it does what it says it will do! My eyes pop more when I use it in the corners and just below my eyebrow.

    Excellent product, dissolves quickly, very little taste. What little you taste is flat. If stirred into drinks, does not affect the drink flavor.

    Shipped to my apartment super fast! In under a week, and was well worth the money spent. Super cute planner with adorable stickers to match, no damage done to the planner as well. Planner seems pretty durable, but still flexible, perfect size, it is a little small if you tend to write big, however, I write small so totally fine by me. Overall, am very happy with this purchase! (:

    These clear cups with the small spoons and forks are of very good quality . I ordered these recently for a private cocktail party and used them for bittersweet chocolate pudding. It was fun to watch grown up friends joyously eating the dessert with the small spoons. Great product for small bites.

    I love this diaper pail. I love that the bags are biodegradable, and they also have a pleasant smell. Although I still only have a newborn so diapers are not too stinky yet, there is absolutely no odor leaking out of the container. I also love the bagging system--one continuous bag that you just cut off (with the attached slicer that is inside the unit) so it saves plastic too. Much better setup than what I have seen with the sausage diaper genie!

    Handy for diaper changes, especially when youre not wanting to take the whole diaper bag with you. My only complaint is that the black binding on the edges seems to have stained the white changing pad during storage before shipping. It doesnt affect the use of it, and hopefully I can eventually clean it off, but its still a great product.

How An EPIRB or PLB Rescue Works

The Anatomy of a Rescue - Stage 1

When activated, EPIRBs and PLBs send a unique distress signal on the 406 MHz frequency to the Search and Rescue Satellites.

Each beacon is programmed with and sends a unique digital code called a HEX ID or Unique ID. The HEX ID identifies the type of beacon and, Search and Rescue use the HEX ID to identify the beacon registration information provided by the beacon owner.

This information can include: who the beacon owner is, the type of vessel the beacon is associated with (for EPIRBs), emergency points of contact, float plans, trip plans, and much more.

The Anatomy of a Rescue - Stage 2

After the satellite receives a beacon signal, it relays the signal to ground stations referred to as local user terminals (LUTs).

The LUT processes the data, computes the location of the distress beacon, and transmits a decoded alert message to its associated national Mission Control Center (MCC). This happens almost instantaneously after the initial beacon signal is received.

The Anatomy of a Rescue - Stage 3

The Mission Control Center then geographically sorts the data, and transmits a distress message to the closest appropriate SAR authority and another MCC if the beacon is registered to another country.

The RCC (Rescue Coordination Center) investigates the beacon alert and launches rescue assets to find the parties in distress.

Rescue Overview

  • 406 MHz Distress Call Is Activated
  • Search and Rescue (SAR) satellites forward distress signal down to earth Ground Stations
  • Ground stations forward the distress to the Mission Control Centers (MCC)
  • The MCC alerts the closest Rescue Coordination Centers (RCC)
  • The RCC call emergency contacts and dispatch the closest SAR teams
  • SAR teams arrive on scene and rescue survivors
  • Worldwide – Over 48,000+ people rescued since 1982
  • United States – 9,753 people rescued since 1982
