Republic Wireless Review – Cell Service Starting at $15 Per Month
Republic Wireless is what I like to call a "disputer!" They came in a stagnant industry and decided to change the way we call each other. Instead of diving into contracts, getting subsidized phones, and paying well over $100 per line, we now can enjoy hybrid wireless calling for much less. You pay thousands per year just for the the luxury of owning and using a cell phone with the main carriers. The high price of wireless has changed and Republic Wireless is bringing their innovative approach along for the ride. Here is my Republic Wireless review and what I love about this company.
*This is an update from my original Republic Wireless review as they have changed their plans and their phone selection.
Republic Wireless Basics
Bandwidth.com is the innovator behind Republic Wireless. They are a IP telephony company that works with creating the ability to call over the internet. Bandwidth.com noticed a need of something different in the wireless industry, so they set out to create their product. Out of their minds came Republic Wireless. Their service has changed the game considerably. Right now, you can start out for just $10 per month with no contract. Try that on the big carriers. It won't happen!
Below I describe how their system functions. It's not what you might expect from other carriers. You don't just sign up, get a phone, and enjoy your high priced service. This uses sweet technology to save you money on a regular basis. Take that wireless industry!@republicwirelss has changed the wireless service game and everyone is taking notice! Click To Tweet
Hybrid Calling
Republic uses what they call hybrid calling. It seems simple to understand and it really is. They outfitted two great smartphones with the ability to make calls when on WiFi. When you are around WiFi, no matter if it is your network or an open one, the phone will attempt to connect. It searches for WiFi as you are traveling. If it cannot find WiFi, then the phone switches to cell service from Sprint. So, your phone has the ability to make calls on WiFi and on Sprint.
As a note, your call quality will only be as good as the WiFi signal that it's using to conduct the call. If it's a weak signal, then your call quality could be diminished. In order to get around this, you can turn off WiFi and the phone will resort back to the Sprint network.
Call Handling
When Republic Wireless first came out, they had some issues with how calls where handled. Since their service is based on using WiFi when it is available, people would come across dropped calls. Why?
If a person was making a phone call when in their house and on their WiFi, the call would be good. If they decided to leave the house to get into the car, then their WiFi would drop off. When this happened, the call they were on would drop. Republic Wireless knew about this issue before they released their service, so they created a "fix". When you left WiFi or came back near WiFi, a call you were on would drop. Once the drop occurred, you phone would automatically redial the other phone to resume the call. This was a problem for many.
Republic Wireless took notice of these issues and have come a long way from those days. They have some of the clearest calling on WiFi, sometimes better than when on the Sprint Network. Their call handling hand off is also seamless and that's what it needs to be to have a successful service.
Their seamless call switching is why they require you to buy their phones. They have modified them heavily in order to do this switching. You can't bring your own phone to Republic Wireless. It won't work. Sorry friends. If you want to bring your own phone, then check out these discount cell carriers.
Customer Service
I review quite a few cell service providers here on this blog. Many people always rail against the companies when they can't get on the phone with them immediately or get an answer. Before I describe the customer service of Republic Wireless, understand they keep their costs low due to a different service model. If you want instant customer service access, then this might not be for you. The reason I say this is because service is done via a public forum on republicwireless.com along with some detailed guides and troubleshooting on their site.
While checking out the service, I noticed there was a lot of information on this forum. The reason is it's a community. Loyal Republic Wireless users are helping those who have issues and it's great to see. It's like social customer service. Trust me, I would rather pop a question up and have dedicated loyalists help me than someone over the phone. That's just me though.
Republic has also added ways for it's users to submit tickets to their help desk. This is just another way for people to get answers to problems. I would encourage people to look through the forums first as there is a treasure trove of information there. I actually find forums more helpful than phone calls most of the time.
They have also included some ways to speak with people via live chat. While it's hard to talk with someone on the phone, having the community forums, helpdesk emails, and live chat should be sufficient for most people.
On top of it all, Republic also has a way for you to just check the status of their system. We all want to know if the system is operational when we have a problem, right? Just think of when your cable goes out or internet goes down. It's nice to know if it's a widespread problem or just isolated to you. This is one thing that Google does well with their services. Republic does the same. You can check their system status when on the help pages.
Republic Phones
Republic Wireless does the phone thing a little differently than many of the other carriers out there. You can't bring you own phone to Republic. For those people, like me, who own an unlocked phone, you will have to pay for a new phone from Republic. It's how the cookie crumbles. The reason they do this is because they have customized the phones to work with their hybrid calling model. Other phones don't do this and don't do it well even with apps. This is why it's necessary for a new phone.
Republic Wireless offers nine phones, all Android based. They are also Motorola phones developed with the latest version of Android.
As you can see from the graphic above, they have two phones, the Moto E and Moto G. These phones are second generation and come with 4G LTE capability. These are great phones for anyone. Just based on the pricing alone, these are a steal. The Mot
They just released the Moto E with 4G LTE coverage. You can get this phone for only $129 with no contract. It's a pretty powerful budget phone, one step down from the Moto G
The Moto G (3rd Generation) is just coming out on Republic Wireless. It does have 4G LTE coverage and is even water resistant up to 3 feet for 30 minutes. It has more power than the Moto E, but lags behind the more powerful Moto X. For $199 (8GB version), it's a great price for a phone.
Republic used to have a 2nd Generation Moto X, which is what I have, but they no longer carry that phone. It's said they are coming out with a newer one, but we have to wait and see.
Take some time to learn more about the phones and see if there is one that will work for you.

Republic Wireless Coverage
Everyone always asks about the cell phone coverage for any carrier. Now, as I stated previously, Republic Wireless has their hybrid approach. They expect you to use WiFi and when you are doing that, then you don't have to worry about coverage. You will always be able to make and receive calls when you are on WiFi. When you are not on WiFi, Republic Wireless pushes you to the Sprint network. Yes, their network is not as good as others, but when you have the ability to make and receive calls via WiFi, it doesn't matter as much. You can check out the Sprint Coverage Map to see if you will have service.
Republic Wireless Plans
Ok, I am sure this is the information that you are looking for. How much does Republic Wireless cost? Well, now I am going to go over their plans or plan for that matter.
They did just roll out sweeping changes to their plans. They are on what they call Republic Wireless 2.0. The 1.0 plans are below and you can only get them if you're already a Republic Wireless customer. Sorry to those who aren't yet, but you can no longer get the $5 plan. They start at $10 for just cell and text and free Wifi data.
Now, with Republic Wireless 2.0, they have a base plan ($10), which gives you calling and text capability. If you want to add wireless data onto the plan (you don't pay for Wifi access), then it will depend on what you use. Head over to their plans section to see how much you would pay based on the cell data you use.
Their customers now get refunded for whatever cell data they didn't use each month. If you pay for 1GB of data, but don't use it, then you get refunded the portion you don't use. They indicate that the average refund is $14.78.
They also changed it so you add on cell-data for your plan. With the base plan, you can add on 0.5mb for $7.50, 1GB for $15, 2GB for $30, 3GB for $45. Again, if you don't use all of your data, they refund you. You can see an idea on how much you will pay by going here.
Republic Wireless also provides you with a "Plan Advisor" which can help you choose a plan that will work best for you. It asks for some data in order to come up with the right plan. It is a cool tool. See what plans will work for you. Republic also allows their customers to switch plans twice a month. Yes, you read that correctly. If you wanted to travel and know you might not be near WiFi, then you can upgrade your plan for the time you are gone. Once you come back, you can go back to your original plan. Who else has that?
Republic Wireless Overall
You can see that Republic is offering a new solution to a tired wireless game. I was sick of paying so much money each month that I switched to a lower cost carrier. There are many of them out there, but no one offers what Republic Wireless does. You can get talk, text, and data for cheap prices. One of the big issues with Republic is their connection with Sprint. Since Sprint doesn't have the greatest network, this could be their weak point. It's probably the only weak point. Republic has worked hard to make up for it with great customer service and awesome hybrid calling features. They can keep your costs low because of their hybrid calling. As wireless access becomes more standard throughout the US, the reliance on Sprint might not be an issue. If you can get wireless in most places, then why care? Heck, even many cars are coming with WiFi now.
If you're looking to reduce your monthly cell phone service costs, then please check out Republic Wireless. They are one of my recommended resources because they provide something awesome and they really do save you money. Couple those savings with a nice 30-day money back guarantee, what do you have to lose?

When my Verizon contract expired in August, I moved to RW. It just killed me to be paying $1320/yr for cell service when I work from home with a mandatory landline. The only drawback was the lack of picture texts (MMS) on the Defy XT, but I decided that it wasn't worth the $88/month MORE that I was paying for Verizon v. RW. Delighted to hear the new phone has it 🙂
I have Republic Wireless and the phone works pretty well. I just ordered the MOTO X and I cannot wait!
I had the Defy. You might consider the Moto X if you can swing it. The defy is a very limiting device. The Moto X is incredible and the combination with Republic is unbeatable.
I've had the Moto x for three weeks. Best phone I've ever had.
Thanks for the review Grayson. Looks like a potential option once we leave Verizon next year!
I would likely go with Republic Wireless if I ever became unhappy with Walmart Family Mobile. It seems like a great alternative to some of the standard expensive plans out there.
I'm going to have to look more into this. Everytime I see a post like that I say I'm going to and I never seem to find the time. But if I can save that kind of money it's well worth my time to seriously consider moving to a new company. I'm with Verizon and I'm happy with everything (except for the price, which is insane compared to plans like this!).
I have a Republic Moto X and love it! It is especially great to be able to make and receive calls overseas, at hotels/airports/etc which have wifi, as if I were here in the U.S.!
I love the side options becoming available for cell phones. RW seems like a great idea, but I'm happy with my little, old school cricket! Anyway, thanks for the great review!
Wish I had a way to get better wifi at more of the places I am throughout the day. Also wish it wasn't sprint for the fall back. This will be something to keep an eye on though, and see how the service evolves. Would like to see a bring your own phone option too
I am out of contract on AT&T and will be switching to something else, soon. I was thinking of Republic Wireless and may give it a try, especially with the money-back guarantee.
I have had Republic for the last year and it's an awesome service.
I have a FreedomPop phone that portends to give free talk, text, and data over Sprint, but you are limited to 200 talk minutes, 500 texts, and 500 MB data per month. The phone is a refurbished HTC EVO model that is a couple years old. The battery life is terrible and reception while in Kona, HI, was also terrible and made the phone useless. FreedomPop setn a new battery that is also terrible. The phone cost $99. I consider it a learning experience fee. I also have a dumb phone from tracfone. It is on T-Mobile. It works pretty well, and I only paid an annual charge of $100 for both phone and 1,100 minutes. I keep it in the center console of my truck for roadside assistance calling. I have to recharge the minutes before the year is up to not lose any minutes, but that will cost less than $80 for another year. It works for me.
I switched from Virgin Mobile's $25 300 minutes with unlimited text and data. I already knew the limitations of the Sprint Network in my area, but with the wifi I can easily make calls from home AND I don't have to reload early like I sometimes did with only 300 minutes. The customer service is way better even though it's all done via email. At least I can understand an email as it doesn't have an impossible to decipher accent. Their online forum is so helpful you probably won't ever have to contact customer service. I am so happy with Republic.
I switched from ATT a month ago and I couldn't be happier. Service and price are unbeatable.
Thanks for the review! I've decided to get out of my Verizon contract and switch to Republic wireless at the end of January. I am so over overpaying for phone service.
Republic is a different model. Their tech support is through their online community and via email. My experience has been that the Moto X with Republic Wireless is the way to go.
As long as you have good Sprint coverage where you live, you should be good to go!
I switched to Republic Wireless a few months back from Verizon. They were killing me with the monthly charges. Around $120 a month. Verizon does have the best 4G coverage. I won't deny that. I got the Republic plan for $25 a month. Unlimited calls, text and data with 3G. It doesn't have the 4G on my plan. It takes a few seconds longer for the internet to load compared to Verizon. But for $100 a month savings its well worth it. If you get the 4G with Republic remember you might not have use of it except in large cities. Im completely happy with the plan I have. I have no dropped calls. It works great. Get the Moto X phone and not the Defy (it sucks). The Moto X rocks. Yes, you will have to pay $299 for the phone upfront but it pays for itself in a few months. Do the math and figure out your yearly cost compared with your current plan. I have a link that you can use to save $19 for the first month. Yes, it helps me with my bill too when you do. I won't lie. For Christmas bonus my boss decided to let most of us go and I am unemployed. If you don't like Republic, there is no contract. Just switch back. It is a great company. Here is the link. Cut and paste if it needed. Thanks!! http://referrals.republicwireless.com/a/clk/1ymPvN
I have been Republic Wireless for a month now and love them!! I pay $25 a month for unlimited talk, text, and 3G data. You can get unlimited everything including 4G data for $40 a month or you can switch to the $10 a month plan and you get unlimited talk and text anywhere but only can use data on WiFi but you can switch you plan 2 times a month from your phone and the rates are prorated so you only get charged for the days you use that plan!! The Moto X is an awesome phone!! I actually like it better than my iPhone 5 because the phone itself has features that the iPhone does not have (twist your wrist and the camera starts and its a better camera than the iPhone, it knows when your driving and reads you texts, and active notifications are very nice too). I highly recommend this service and phone.
Everybody whines and moans about sprint coverage. I had Verizon for 10 years, switched to sprint (saved $60/month) and haven't really noticed much of a difference. Being critical of Republic for Sprint is weak… I have a Republic phone for backup – great phone, great price.
Republic Wireless is great. We use it and it works very well. One key difference is that Republic uses the full Sprint network, with many other MVNO's like Virgin, they only use the PCS network, which doesn't do too much outside of urban areas. Thanks for the review!
Ive got a long history of bad luck over charged phone related services.
I was using voice stream in Vegas almost 25yrs ago and still have the Motorola microtac ultra light elite.
For $900+ the phone's loaded features were vibration, and 1.5 minutes of internal record time like an answer machine built in.
Allowing one short message to be stored, if you didnt check it and erase it you couldn't store anymore!
And the monthly service cost around $200 dollars, and sucked in vegas due to over loaded systems.
Im glad to of lived long enough to experience rates becoming reasonable?
But phone service providers are notorious for screwing over customers! I live for the time I can make and receive calls for no charge close to the magic jack deal.
But even they are always digging up ways to charge for service.
how to connect motoX to tv?
Aside from Republic Wireless Plans is giving back our money, their customer service is really amazing. I just talked to one a few hours ago. She's nice and very understandable.
I've tried Republic Wireless for 4 months now. We live in Northern Illinois. Several problems 1.) Garbled voice – can't hear 2.) Frequent busy signal with incoming calls 3.) "The number you have reached has been disconnected or is no longer in service" if someone calls you from a landline.
I had my wife and I both on this plan – I suggest you look elsewhere – this is one of those "too good to be true". (I had a Moto e $10 plan, the wife had a Moto g $25 plan). Their online service (not) told "ME" to submit service requests to all the carrier's that have a problem routing Republic Wireless cell calls.
I'm going to another carrier – not happy with the prices – but the plan I had before actually worked
I am trying to decide between Republic and Cricket. I just don't get how Republic wifi can work if you are moving? I so want to commit and get it done, but my problem is that I will be moving soon and traveling in an RV. Will Republic work when I am out of a town and in the wilderness or rural area's?
And can I keep my phone #? This brings up a problem, Republic has no way to ask these questions, and that is worrisome to me.
Thank you for your great blog!
I tried Republic Wireless. The phone they sent could not be set up. Customer service via Chat and email couldn't get it working. No one to talk to. After many frustrating hours I sent the phone back. No one at republic would/could cancel my account. I had to cancel my credit card to finally stop getting billed by these crooks.
The old adage you get what you pay for is understated with republic wireless… Republic Wireless is cheap but the service is even cheaper.
Buyer beware!!!!
I currently have Sprint as my service provider but I also have an airwave so service for me has been good. But the price of service is outrageous. My concern is if I switch to Republic Wireless and something happens to my phone such as it decides to stop working for what ever reason and it is past the 30 days what do I do? There is no Sprint store to turn to for support.
Also, I would like to know when there is wifi available but you have to accept their terms does that effect you receiving phone calls.
Also, would you advise to get a low cost plan and if I go over my data plan they would just charge me for what I used or should I go with a higher cost plan and just get reimbursed for what I don't use. Does it really make a difference?
Thanks! And great review by the way.
I'm a college student and I LOVE Republic Wireless. I have the $10/month plan. I even bought my mom a phone for mother's day and have her on my plan. I pay only $24 including tax for both phones together! Seriously the best phone company we've been with. It's definitely saving me more money than Verizon or Virgin Mobile ever did. We both have free talk, text, data (internet use) over wifi. Once we leave a wifi area we just can't use the internet til we get to a restaurant or wherever else has wifi connection. But we can still do everything else on there and like everywhere has wifi anyways. They're good phones, smart phones. You can find cheaper cases to fit them on amazon. I seriously laugh whenever my friends tell me how much they are paying per month for their cell service at other companies. That sucks for them. Republic is the best.
I like your review. I am an old fart who am always generationally challenged by computer devices. (My computer professional youngest child just shakes his head in disbelief sometimes…) I am bad, but my 75 year old wife is even more challenged with new fangled gadgets than I. ALL THIS being said we are both happy with our new Moto phones and the Republic Wireless service. Sure, we don't use all of the features and have to make calls to our son to help every now and then, but after a year we can do the basics of phone calling, picture taking, texting, and sending/receiving photos. I'm even starting to master the swipe method of texting.
But the big plus is the Republic Service which is as advertised (really inexpensive!) and the quality is good. The wifi transfer is seamless and the calls on the Sprint network have been great even when driving through the mountains to visit our grand children 500 miles away.
In my opinion, your enthusiasm for RW is well placed, Grayson.
I recently switched from Republic Wireless to T-Mobile. The driving force behind the move was the slow Customer Service response when my phone was acting up. Yes, the price is great but when the phone doesn't work properly for over a week and still no solution in sight, it was time to move on. I may or may not like T-Mobile but another one of my peeves with RW was I was running out of storage space and had basically no added apps on the phone, they were on my SD card. I purchased a Moto E which I loved at first but couldn't download updates due to the storage issues. It was very frustrating to have to wait over 24 hours sometimes for an answer back to an email. I also found that the community help was a very long and arduous process and I generally couldn't find an answer anyway. Not sure how Jason @ monster piggy bank was able to talk to someone in Customer Service. There are "no" phone numbers listed anywhere that I could find to talk to anyone other than chat or community help. Maybe if I could afford to buy a phone with 16 GB I wouldn't have the problems I was having but I can't so I went with T-Mobile with a no contract plan. My phone is still only 8GB but it only cost $30.
Hi. I have RW and I'm on one of the old plans – $10 for unlimited, talk & text & unlimited talk, text & data with WiFi. There is an option to switch plans twice a month, so if you need to, you can switch to the talk, text & cell plan and the cost increase is per diem.
That plan will cease after July. I'm trying to figure out the best plan at the least cost. The cheapest plan is $15 for unlimited talk & text with .5 gigs of data. That doesn't sound like very much data.
What do you recommend for the cheapest/most economical plan?
Hi, Grayson,
I'm not sure if this email going to get to you re: the RW phone system, or not, but I thought I'd try. I did not see much related to my situation, either in responses to your review of RW, or in the comments made by users on other web sites, including RW's.
I live in the mountains, surrounded by trees…about 50 miles from South Lake Tahoe. I personally can't get cell reception on my property, via Verizon, but a Propane company service tech did get very sketchy reception, the other day. Now, admittedly, I'm still using a 4-year-old flip-phone, because I refuse to pay for a data plan if I can't use it where I live. I do carry my phone with me, when I'm away from home.
My Internet connection is with AT&T U-Verse, but, because of my physical location, it's rather slow. I just have to make do, I'm told by AT&T.
My question is this: Considering where I live, with virtually no cell reception, but with wi-fi in my home, would you recommend my using the RW system? I have had a cell phone, believe it or not, since 1988, when all that was available was a hard-wired Motorola hand-set. That was before Verizon bought GTE Mobile, way back when.
I'm definitely living in the Dark Ages, with regard to my cell system, and am reluctant to change, if there's a chance that this won't work for me.
Would love to hear your comments. My situation may be somewhat unique, because most people can use their cell phones just about anywhere. I don't even text because, again, I don't want to pay for a smart phone, and not be able to use its features.
Thanks so much for any suggestions, Grayson.

MARION COUNTY - Even though the worst of Isaac won't be felt in North Central Florida, residents in one county might feel even better knowing their emergency management team is highly respected by their peers.
Just a few days ago, the Florida Division of Emergency Management informed the leadership of the Marion County Emergency Management of a special status.
The region coordinator categorized Marion County's emergency management as an exemplary program.
It received one of the highest ratings in the state.
The state agency challenged Marion County Emergency Management with a 22-question survey, from which they based most of its ranking.

WatchRepairNY.com Promotes Specialized Omega, Audemars Piguet, and Rado Watch Repair
Manhattan Time Service is educating wearers of luxury watches about how often their timepieces need to be professionally serviced.
"We encourage our customers to think of their luxury watches like luxury cars. The same way that Ferraris and Lamborghinis require regular upkeep to stay in top condition, new and pre-owned watches by top brands like Rado, TAG Heuer, and Rolex must also maintained every couple of years. And just like you wouldn't trust just any mechanic with your Ferrari, your luxury watch should also be serviced in the hands of professionals,"
Luxury watches need to be serviced every two to five years, Lodowski notes, depending on their type and functionality. Manhattan Time Service recommends that owners of water-resistant luxury watches have their timepieces inspected and pressure tested every two years to maintain the same level of resistance; during this kind of maintenance, the company's watch repair specialists inspect and, if necessary, replace the timepiece's gaskets and seals.
Owners of automatic or manual windup luxury watches should bring their timepieces in every three to five years, Manhattan Time Service recommends. When it comes to a Rolex watch repair, the company offers a meticulous process; after removing the watch movement, it is taken apart by a watch specialist and each component of the movement is cleaned by Manhattan Time Service's top rated, state-of-the-
Following reassembly, Manhattan Time Service subjects all luxury timepieces to a series of rigorous tests. Each watch is calibrated using a computerized timer and inspected both visually and technically to ensure that all functionalities are in working order. Finally, the watchmaker employs an automatic winder to simulate four days of use in various positions. Manhattan Time Service offers a one-year warranty on all of its repairs, with a six-month warranty available for vintage luxury watches.
"Owners of battery-operated luxury watches must be particularly careful about their repair schedules," said one of Mitchell's sons, Thomas Lodowski, an advanced level watchmaker. Although many wearers assume their batteries are fine until their watches stop running, our NY watch repair facility recommends that clients schedule a replacement every two years. After this point, there is a risk that battery acid will leak into the mechanism and destroy it.

Breast-Feeding - Your Health and Nutrition
A healthy lifestyle-including having a balanced diet, getting plenty of rest, and being active-is important while you breast-feed. It can help you have more energy and reduce stress. It can also help you build a healthy milk supply.
It's also important to know what to avoid. Anything you put in your body can be passed to your baby in breast milk.

Have a healthy diet
- Have a balanced dietHave a balanced diet so that you get the vitamins and minerals you need for breast-feeding. You'll need to eat extra calories compared to the amount you ate when you weren't breast-feeding. It's a good idea to continue taking your prenatal vitamins while breast-feeding.
- Avoid quick weight loss. If you want to try to lose your pregnancy weight, lose it a little at a time so you don't affect your breast milk.
Some moms notice that certain foods make their babies more fussy. You may want to keep track of what you eat and how your baby acts.
If you have special dietary needs, talk to a dietitian. He or she can help you plan healthy meals.

From Release
The Lancaster chapter of the S.C. Junior Golf Association wrapped up its season this week with the playing of the two-day Roy Small Tournament at the Lancaster Golf Club.
"We were extremely fortunate to be able to complete two days of golf with the weather being what it was," said Raymon Chisom, Lancaster chapter director. "The heat brought in a large storm that dumped a lot of rain on the course Monday night, but Phil Small and Ross Baker, along with their staff had the course in excellent condition Tuesday morning.
Staff Reports
The Lancaster Dixie Baseball Ozone all-stars had a tough finish in the state tournament at Sumter's Patriots Park on Thursday night.

AbstractThis program will develop high power, multiple frequency RF switches utilizing AlN substrates developed by Kyma Technologies, Inc. High-performance GaN-based devices, such as microwave transistors, have been demonstrated on sapphire and silicon carbidesubstrates; however, defects due to lattice and thermal expansion mismatch limit device performance. Dislocations significantly affect the performance of electronic devices by reducing carrier mobility, increasing noise and gate leakages, and causepremature device breakdown. Aluminum nitride substrates are expected to improve the performance of GaN-based microelectronic devices due to close lattice and thermal expansion match with GaN-based device structures. Additionally, AlN substrates are wellsuited to high frequency switching device applications due to their insulating nature and high thermal conductivity. Using Kyma Technologies, Inc.'s demonstrated AlN substrate technologies, high-power GaN-based switches for space-based applications will bedeveloped. This research and development effort will address issues in devices related to high-power handling and isolation, fast switching time and low insertion loss. Creating devices with these characteristics will be achieved by taking advantage of theunique properties of the AlN substrates produced by Kyma Technologies, Inc.The results of the program will benefit both satellite and terrestrial wireless communication systems. The use of an aluminum nitride substrate in microelectronic applications willdecrease the time to market for these devices. FETs developed in this project will have higher power handling and isolation, fast switching times, and low insertion losses. Commercial applications of GaN-based multiple frequency FETs include portableelectronics, linear high frequency power amplifiers, space-based systems, automotive electronics, and high temperature microelectronics.

Treatment options are limited to therapies that can help relieve some of the symptoms.[1][2]Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 9 (CLN9-NCL) is a rare condition that affects the nervous system. Signs and symptoms of the condition generally develop in early childhood (average age 4 years) and may include loss of muscle coordination (ataxia), seizures that do not respond to medications, muscle twitches (myoclonus), visual impairment, and developmental regression (the loss of previously acquired skills).

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

A western cheeseburger is an extremely delicious, albeit unhealthy fast food. A western cheeseburger is like a regular cheeseburger, having 1-3 hamburger patties, each with cheese, but in addition has some sort of tangy barbeque sauce on the top and most of the time, 2 or so onion rings below the patties. This creates a delightful mixture of tangy sauce and the light crunch of the onion ring.
Yeah so its a good thing I'm broke because I'm pretty sure if I had a lot of money I'd eat western cheeseburgers until they killed me. Oh what a glorious death that would be!

I haven't yet started developing my WP site just trying to work things out and creating content. So, I have a real rookie question. I already have a domain name and hosting so that's one step out of the way. However, what I'm confused about is the talk of ftp.
If I create a WP site, do I then have to upload all of the WP files to the hosting service?
And the same for all future updates?
But I can just create and update everything via my WordPress account?
Sorry if I'm slow with this, I've only ever used WYSIWYG type editors in the past so talk of installing and ftp is a little scary!
Thanks in advance to anyone who answers. All help and advice is appreciated.

How do I get these photos removed from the web?
I am a midwifery student in the US. I found a website of a man who claims to be a midwife. This man has a very disturbing website with very graphic, I would say pornographic, photos of women whose births he has attended. These are poor women of color from another country. Going by the demographics, it is likely that many of these women come from conservative catholic background and would be horrified by nude photos of themselves plastered all over the internet. There is little chance that most of these women have internet access and ZERO Chance that all of these women have consented to these photos being placed on the world wide web. I am very angry that these women have had such graphic photos placed of them on the web without their consent. What steps should I take to have these photos taken down, if that is possible? I have done a whois search and gotten that info. What is my best possible course of action to have the maximum chance of having these women's photos removed and/or the site shut down?

This is just a novice's assumption though, so I'm asking, are there many practical uses for recursion as a programmer? And also, what typical problems can be solved with it? The only ones that I've seen are heap sort and brain teaser-type problems like "The Towers of Hanoi which just seems very specific and lacking broad use.

Out There 2014: The Room Nobody Knows
Given that Japanese director Kuro Tanino's last gig was as a psychotherapist, it's no surprise that The Room Nobody Knows, the latest bit of weirdness brought to you by Out There 2014, delves deep into the psyche and the subconscious. For the performance, the set will be in miniature, though the actors will not. Audiences will watch as two brothers inexplicably wedge themselves into tiny compartments where they interact in ways that are both comical and uncomfortable. There will be plenty of plastic heads, phallic furniture, and hidden discoveries among the claustrophobia. And since this piece wades deep into the human psyche, expect plenty of psychoanalytical humor and revelations to be had. Due to the tininess of the set, seating will be very limited, and the show will be presented in Japanese with English subtitles. (Photo by Shinsuke Suginou)

I hit a heavily hunted-out park near the San Lorenzo River recently and got a signal in about 3ft of water near a swimming hole. Peeking under the water with my diving mask and underwater flashlight, all I could see was a small depression in the bedrock-- a natural bowl that had filled in with sand and rocks. After spending a good ten minutes clearing out a BIG rock and a lot of sand I was able to finally reach my target; two pieces of costume jewelry and a vintage 14k 24" gold chain!
It turned out to weigh 21 grams! I have no doubt that the Dual Field's ability to shoot through mineralized rock and sand was a HUGE reason I was able to make the find. Now I can't wait to get out there and see what else may have been lost in these swimming holes!

The proposed Shotover Country development has the potential
to help create and retain affordable housing in the Wakatipu,
the Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust says.
Plan Change 41 - a proposal for a $300 million-plus 750-house
development between the Shotover River and the Lake Hayes
Estate near Queenstown - last week cleared a major consent
hurdle when commissioners recommended it be adopted by the
Queenstown Lakes District Council.
Today it will go before the council strategy committee, which
is being asked to consider the proposal with several
amendments. One would be a provision restricting any
residential activity within the development until the trust
got 26 residential sites covering a total of at least 9100sq
Chairman David Cole said the trust had been working with the
developers for 18 months towards such an end - signing a
"heads of agreement" to ensure affordable housing would be
included if it went ahead.
He said the recommendation was a positive sign, considering
the possibilities Shotover Country presented to provide
affordable housing for the district.
"At Lake Hayes Estate, there were cheap sections for the
lucky first buyers, but to buy a house down there now is
about half a million dollars," he said.
By working with the developers in the early stages, there are
some very good positives for us ... as the development
One of the most comprehensive submissions against the plan
change during the hearing process in March came from the New
Zealand Transport Agency. The agency is concerned about the
impact increased vehicle movements from the development would
have on the safety and efficiency of State Highway 6.

The District shopping center loses another restaurant
Updated 7 p.m.
Another restaurant at The District shopping center in Tustin has closed. It is the third brand to shutter at the retail center, anchored by Target, Whole Foods Market and Costco, in less than two months.
Marmalade Cafe, which opened in 2009, closed at the end of business Monday. � A restaurant official said the company transferred its lease to another concept, but she declined to name the eatery.
The lease deal "made sense to us," said Grace Lowy, director of local store marketing for the nine-unit chain.
She said the closure allows the company to focus on new concepts, including a restaurant opening soon at LAX. � The chef and managers have been transferred to other locations. Service workers have been offered the "opportunity to transfer to one of our other locations as well," Lowy added.
When it opened at The District,� Marmalade Cafe� called itself a full-service chain with value pricing on upscale foods. � "Our menu is designed to offer our guests a fresh, high quality meal at an affordable price," the company told the Register.
Lowy said Marmalade, which operates locations in Malibu, Santa Monica nd Santa Barbara, intends to return to Orange County. However, she declined to offer details about the new concept. Stay tuned here for more information.
[caption id="attachment_35439" align="alignright" width="230" caption="The District (Photo by Elysse James/The Register)"][/caption]
Kim Daskas, a marketing representative� for the The District, confirmed that a new food brand will take over the Marmalade space. The retail center will identify the restaurant at a later time, she said.
Marmalade is the third restaurant to leave The District since December.� � Pablo's Cantina� and� Red Brick Pizza closed last month.� � Another pizza concept replaced Red Brick.
The District, a large shopping center at the corner of Jamboree Road and Barranca Parkway, debuted in 2007 with much fanfare. But the tanking economy forced many food concepts to close over the last few years, including Johnny Rockets,� Chaparosa Grill,� Sandella's,� � Go Roma,� Bistro West, Tacone� and� The Cravery.
� Tell us:� What restaurant should replace Marmalade?

The performance of infrared (IR) surveillance systems is proportional to the ability of distinguishing the radiance of target from the background. In determining sea radiance as the background, experimental studies are incomplete and very expensive. The few simulation software packages that are available are limited to certain parameters and do not include all aspects of sea radiance. In this paper, simulation and analysis software, namely, InfrareD SeA Modeling and Analysis (DAMA), is developed to calculate the total radiance and its components seen by the observer. The DAMA software allows the user to define all possible parameters related to atmospheric conditions, sea surface conditions, and date and time of observation. The developed software includes all of the three major sea surface models in the IR band provided in the literature, namely, Cox and Munk, Mermelstein, and Shaw and Churnside models. In this sense, the DAMA software is unique in combining all possible atmospheric and surface parameters to provide components of total radiance. The DAMA software can be operated by a user-friendly graphical user interface to facilitate simulations and to analyze the outputs. For this paper, the software has been run for approximately 10 000 simulations to understand the behavior of maritime background in IR. The software is validated by the SEARAD software and measurement results. By this way, for the first time in the open literature, DAMA allows one to observe the behavior of total radiance and its components with respect to the variation of all possible input parameters.

Full-size sedans got some attention at the 2011 L.A. Auto Show, with Hyundai redoubling its efforts on the slow-selling Azera. This comes seven months after Ford unveiled a refreshed 2013 Taurus and less than a year after the redesigned Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger hit dealerships.
The full-size pie has its takers — but Honda wants no slice, said John Mendel (pictured below), the automaker's U.S. chief.
We spoke with Mendel, American Honda's executive vice president, during a media roundtable at the recent auto show. The full-size sedan segment "doesn't seem to be the trend in the market," he said, especially "when you think about fuel economy and challenges that the industry will have" in meeting the federal government's 2025 corporate average fuel economy standards. The Obama administration's proposal, which calls for a fleet-wide average of 54.5 mpg, will work out to around 39 mpg in real-world combined gas mileage, according to the EPA. Today's average is 22 mpg.
CAFE aside, full-sizers are still a flagging segment. Take out the Azera — whose redesign doesn't arrive until February — and combined year-to-date sales for the remaining four models fell 14.2% through October despite all of them being relatively new.
It's a moot point: Honda doesn't have the underpinnings to build a large car, Mendel said. The carmaker's roomiest sedan, the Accord, is technically full size by EPA standards. That's that sort of packaging Honda aims to pursue.
"We're kind of doing a large car kind of derivative," Mendel said. "What you'll continue to see us do is put more and more package space in the existing same size car. ... It's a trend that's been going on in Europe for the last 15 years."

The last 20 years have seen a dramatic increase in the demand for organic foods. Diners and shoppers alike are scouring restaurant menus and grocery store shelves for foods with an organic label. Though it has not been proven conclusively, consumers perceive organic foods to be healthier than their conventional counterparts. This belief can be seen in the 2,200% increase in organic baby food sales that occurred between 1989 and 1995. In order to meet this increase in customer demand, many food service establishments are now offering organic menu items.
Though all foods are organic, an organic food label means that the food was produced through ecology-based farming and animal feeding methods. Organic farmers "emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations."
Organic Food Certification
In order to become certified organic, both meat and crop producers must meet requirements set forth and regulated by the USDA's National Organic Program.
Growers. To be certified organic, growers cannot use any of the following:
- Conventional pesticides.
- Fertilizers with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge.
- Genetically modified crops.
- Irradiation.
Meat producers. Meat, poultry, egg and dairy products must come from animals that are not treated with antibiotics or growth hormones.
Additionally, every organic farm is required to submit yearly reports on its farming methods to ensure that they are still following the guidelines of organic production. The certification only lasts for five years, which an on-site inspection is then required and performed by the USDA's National Organic Program in order to achieve certification renewal.
Consumer Preference
A recent Restaurant & Institutions Tastes of America survey showed that 24% of consumers said it was "very important" that a restaurant serve organic foods, and 51.2% said it was "somewhat important."
Organic Food Labeling
- 100% Organic. These products must contain 100% organically produced ingredients, not including added salt and water.
- Organic. This label applies to products that contain at least 95% organic ingredients.
- Made with Organic Ingredients. These products must contain at least 70% organic ingredients and cannot contain any added sulfates.
- Has some organic ingredients. This label refers to products that contain less than 70% organic ingredients.
Source of the Controversy
Cost and healthfulness are the main sources of contention surrounding organic foods. Organic farming can actually hinder the ability of poorer countries and individuals to feed themselves, since organic foods are more expensive. This cost needs to be weighed against the possible long-term health affects of ingesting pesticides and GMOs.
Arguments for Organic Foods
- Organic growers do not use harmful pesticides. At the 1996 World Food Summit, The World Health Organization estimated that pesticides were responsible for 220,000 deaths and nearly three million severe poisoning cases worldwide each year.
- Organic farming helps restore environmental checks and balances. Genetic engineering and pesticide use are weakening natural barriers that exist between species. Organic farming seeks to restore healthy crops and animals by promoting natural selection.
- Organic foods are healthier than non-organic. If lack of pesticide residue is not enough, new research shows organic foods contain higher levels of important nutrients, like Vitamin C, than non-organic products.
- Organic foods reduce our dependence on oil. Many synthetic pesticides and fertilizers contain petroleum-based ingredients. Reducing pesticide use through organic farming is a way to decrease our dependency on dwindling oil supplies.
Arguments Against Organic Foods
- Organic foods cost more. Since organic farmers cannot use any of the technologies and chemicals readily available, their crops are subject to more pest damage, and organic farmers have to spend more time manually tending their crops. This leads to an increased cost of production and higher price on the store shelves.
- Organic foods are not necessarily healthier. Though pesticides and potentially harmful GMOs are not allowed in organic foods, candy, pastries and other fatty foods are still unhealthy, like their conventional counterparts.
- Animals can die needlessly under organic farming conditions. Since organic farmers are not allowed to use antibiotics, animals can die from simple bacterial infections. This can also contribute to the increased cost of organic foods.
- Organic farming requires more land than conventional methods. Organic farming produces about half as much as conventional farming.4 As a result, more forests have to be cleared to meet the increased demand for organic products.
What the Government Has To Say
As the regulatory agency behind organic foods, the USDA does not say one way or the other whether organic food is healthier for the consumer. The USDA does, however, acknowledge the increasing consumer demand for organic products. The agency also points out that there are a number of farmers turning to certified organic farming as a way to lower input cost, decrease reliance on nonrenewable resources and increase income by selling high-value products.
Regulating the Supply Chain: After organic foods leave the farm, all handlers, packers and markets thereafter must also be certified to handle organic foods to assure they do not come into contact with non-organic products.

Fake freckles! I wanted to keep the rest of the look very light and fresh, so I skipped the eyeliner and popped a cream blush on the cheeks and lips to add a dewy finish to the skin.
Feb 21, 2013
Gorgeous, dear!
Feb 20, 2013
I love freckles, they are so cute! Yet I have never had one, I might try this out some day. But you must tell me how you did it, I'm curious! =)
Feb 20, 2013
Thank you darling! I used the Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner in Cinnabar to create the freckles. I simply stamped on the eyeliner in random spots. To vary the intensity on a few of the freckles I would press and turn the eyeliner rather than just stamping it on. And to vary the shapes I would drag a few of the spots before lifting the pencil off my skin.

After updating to WP 3.6 and plugin version 2.1 using Twenty Thirteen, the GA code no longer shows up in my pages, even though the Settings screen still looks fine, etc.
I see it's not officially supported past 3.5.2, but could you let me know if it's something I can fix somehow, if it's going to be supported soon, or if I should change to another plugin? I use this plugin often for my client sites, and I've loved it so far!
