Q: Adding delimited text layer in QGIS? I was using QGIS 2.18 before the update. Adding a delimited text layer was very straightforward. However, in QGIS 3.0 I can do the same process, step by step, but it won't plot.
In summary, the link shows what I was doing in QGIS 2.18: http://www.qgistutorials.com/pt_BR/docs/importing_spreadsheets_csv.html

A: First, I usually have my data like this. Notice that I am using Excel and I save my data as CSV comma delimited.

You have to use the "Data Source Manager", either by the icon in the GUI or Layer/Data Source Manager. You have to choose the "delimited text" option. This is what you will see:

Then you have to fill the appripiate fields like:
File name
File format
Geometry Definition. In this one it is mandatory to select the proper Coordinate reference system at "Geometry CRS". My data is lat lon WGS84, so I use EPSG 4326. If your data comes in a projected CRS you must choose the proper EPSG code.

You will see an example of the way Qgis is understanding your data. This is an example:
Now choose the button add, and thats it. This is the resulting map with the data in the second image:

SWS: 65 pct of Filipinos say it's dangerous to publish critical news vs Duterte administration
Job Manahan, ABS-CBN News
Posted at Mar 19 2021 03:07 PM | Updated as of Mar 19 2021 08:33 PM
MANILA (2nd UPDATE) - Majority or 65 percent of Filipinos agree that it is dangerous to broadcast or print anything critical of President Rodrigo Duterte's administration, a survey by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) showed Friday.
This as the administration saw a shutdown of a major broadcast network and arrests, prosecution and red tagging of journalists.
The survey, conducted from Nov. 21 to 25 last year, also found that less than a fifth (16 percent) of Filipinos disagreed with the statement: "It is dangerous to print or broadcast anything critical of the administration, even if it is the truth." Meanwhile, 18 percent were undecided.
'Government is afraid': Attacks on media show PH govt's fear of accountability, journalists say
The responses have a net agreement score of +49, considered by the pollster as "strong."
This net score increased by 28 points from the +21 reported in July 2020 which was "moderate," it pointed out.
Such sentiment was most prevalent in Mindanao, with a net agreement of +58. It was followed by Visayas with +55, Balance Luzon with +47, and Metro Manila with +30.
Compared to the July 2020 poll, SWS said the net agreement "rose sharply" in Mindanao and in Visayas. The net agreement also increased in Balance Luzon and in Metro Manila.
Belief that critical reporting on the Duterte administration is dangerous rose to +58 from +28 in Mindanao, and +55 from +26 in Visayas.
It also rose from +16 to +47 in Balance Luzon and from +16 to +30 in Metro Manila.
The release of the survey came almost a year since media network ABS-CBN was forced off the air after its franchise expiry— a promise Duterte had made in public speeches. Lawmakers from the House of Representatives eventually rejected its bid for a franchise renewal.
Thousands have lost their jobs in the process amid the pandemic as the company's regional stations were also closed.
Malacañang earlier rejected notions that the ABS-CBN shutdown was linked to Duterte's previous threats to the company, which has been airing critical news against the administration.

Some 65 percent of the 1,500 respondents interviewed by the pollster face-to-face, on the other hand, believe that they could "say anything I want, openly and without fear, even if it is against the
administration."
Nineteen percent disagreed with the statement while 16 percent were undecided, results from the survey showed.
The net agreement score on the sentiment stood at +46, the SWS said, which was also considered as "strong."
The net score this year, the SWS pointed out, increased by 5 points from the +41 in June 2019.
"This is the highest since the strong +48 in January 2001," SWS noted.
Belief that a person can say whatever he wants openly and fearlessly even if against the administration was highest in the Visayas with a net score of +59, followed by Mindanao with +55, and Balance Luzon with +42.
Net agreement was lowest among respondents in Metro Manila with a score of +28.
Comparing it with the results from the same poll released in June 2019, net agreement rose from "strong to very strong" in Visayas and in Mindanao, up by 12 points and 23 points respectively.
The net agreement was maintained in Balance Luzon but it fell in Metro Manila by 17 points, according to the survey.
CONTRADICTORY RESULTS?
In an interview on ABS-CBN's Teleradyo, Leo Laroza, the pollster's director for communication and information technology, said results for the two statements were not contradictory.
Laroza pointed out that the first statement "it is dangerous to print or broadcast anything critical of the administration, even if it is the truth" points specifically to the act of broadcasting and publishing news from the perspective of the Filipino public.
The second statement "I can say anything I want, openly and without fear, even if it is against the administration" on the other hand, points directly to their personal freedom of speech, according to the official.
"Mas maihahambing itong pangungusap na ito sa ano ba ang tingin ng ating kababayan sa mga nasa industriya talaga ng paglalathala at pagbo-broadcast. 'Yun ang mga kalagayan na nakikita nila kumpara naman sa pansarili nilang pakiramdam ng kalayaan at pagsasalita," he explained.
(We can compare this statement to what a person thinks of people in the broadcast and publishing industry. These are driven by the circumstances they personally see, compared to what they really feel regarding their own freedom of speech.)
The respondent's answer to the test statement "I can say anything I want," he said, depends on his understanding on the question.
"Nakikita namin na kahit tumataas ang nakikita nila ang panganib... sa paglalathala, o pag-print o pag-broadcast ng anumang kritikal sa administrasyon, nandoon pa rin ang personal sense of freedom of speech," he added.
(We observe that more Filipinos believe that while there is danger on printing and broadcasting anything critical of this administration, they still have their own personal sense of freedom and speech.)
In a press briefing on Friday, Palace spokesman Harry Roque said Filipinos had nothing to fear in exercising their right to free speech.
"Iyan po ay garantisado ng ating Saligang Batas at ang Presidente naman po bilang isang abogado ay sumumpa na ipatutupad ang ating Saligang Batas kasama na po iyong tinatawag na Bill of Rights," he said.
(That is guaranteed in our Constitution and the President is a lawyer who swore to enforce our laws, including the Bill of Rights.)
The non-commissioned survey has sampling error margins of ±2.5% for national percentages, ±4% for Balance Luzon, and ±6% for Metro Manila, the Visayas, and Mindanao.

By the time Jordan Spieth played the par-4 fourth hole (his 13th of the day), patience was running as thin as his hairline.
The Masters champion, hyped as golf's next big thing and chief rival to world No. 1-ranked Rory McIlroy, could feel himself getting overcooked. He slammed a 3-wood to the ground after hooking his tee shot into the left rough. Then after hitting a fat approach only 95 yards, he barely cleared the water surrounding the green on a short chip, leaving himself a 36-foot par putt.
Spieth walked a few yards, then took the back end of a wedge and whacked his golf bag, sending another signal that the TPC Sawgrass Stadium course is unforgiving for players who don't rein in their emotions.
That lesson was easy for the 21-year-old Texan to learn by merely watching his 20-something playing partners, McIlroy and Jason Day. While McIlroy stayed clear of any trouble Thursday in shooting a three-under 69 in The Players Championship opening round, Day managed the same score hitting only five fairways and 10 of 18 greens in regulation.
A frustrated Spieth shot 75, realizing when his "really, really poor day" was done that he let his round leak more oil than necessary. Whether it was taking four shots from 29 feet away to make bogey at the par-5 16th, or four shots from 39 yards to make bogey at the par-5 11th, Spieth looked nothing like the No. 2 player in the world.
"It's just one of those days where I started maybe looking into it a little too much, rather than just accepting it and going forward," said Spieth. "It just happens every once in a while and I'll get over it."
Day, the talented Australian with mega-star potential, recovered from butchering the par-4 18th hole (his ninth) by draining a 25-foot putt for double bogey. Day then birdied the next two holes and his last two holes, shooting a far better score than he played, which is the kind of round that defines elite players.
On a day where he admittedly felt like a "third wheel" to the world's top two players, Day - saying he stayed even-keeled by thinking of how tennis superstar Roger Federer handles mid-match adversity - showed Spieth the art of recovering from near-disaster.
"A big goal of mine today was just try and keep level and talk to the guys, enjoy myself," Day said. "I was going to get jacked, but just kind of relax and kind of sway around because it's definitely easy to get caught up in the moment."
That moment was the enormous billing attached to Spieth and McIlroy being paired for the first time since they exchanged wins the past month, one at the Masters and the other at the WGC-Cadillac Match Play Championship. The result wasn't much different from the 14-shot separation between them in the first two rounds of last year's British Open, which McIlroy won.
Though he missed several makeable birdies early, McIlroy negotiated the swirling winds and tricky greens without ever putting himself in harm's way.
"I think that's what this course is all about, it's about staying patient," said McIlroy.
Spieth's problem was he felt compelled to step on the gas instead of easing his way into the round. The bogey at 16 so annoyed him, he threw his ball into the water. After settling down with a birdie at the par-5 second hole, Spieth followed with back-to-back bogeys, never pulling out of the funk from hitting three consecutive mediocre shots at No. 4.
"It's just a hybrid and a pitching wedge to a gettable pin," said Spieth. "I tried to hit 3-wood [off the tee] because I was upset at 3 and thought I had something going there after [birdie at] No. 2 and I just tried to force it. It's just a mistake I make a little too often.
"When you're not swinging well, that's not a good time to force it. I should have simplified it."
That's pretty much what McIlroy has done. Not just in learning the intricacies of the Stadium Course the past couple of years, but also downplaying any rivalry talk with Spieth or anyone else.
The fact of the matter is - even with one more green jacket in his possession than McIlroy - it's going to take a Rory-like summer of 2014 run for Spieth or anybody to entertain the notion of being No. 1 in the world any time soon.
It's best for Spieth to just take baby steps. Come back on Friday, stay cool under duress, and send a head-to-head message to your supposed rival that you're not going away.

Eugene Weekly : Letters : 5.15.08
ORTIZ: THE VERY BEST
I am mystified by the Weekly's lukewarm endorsement of Andrea Ortiz for Ward 7 city councilor. While she may have "frustrated progressives with some votes," she has impressed this progressive with her vision, leadership and timely and effective response to constituent concerns. Ortiz is an independent thinker whose decisions reflect her ability to see issues on their own merits and in the context of a value set which I view as consistently progressive. The Eugene City Council has self-immolated in the past by refusing to allow one another the ability to disagree occasionally within a progressive framework. Statements like the one in the Weekly endorsement do little more than encourage that past to repeat itself.
Andrea Ortiz takes the time to be well-informed on the vast number of issues that come before the council despite the fact that she holds down a full-time job and volunteers her time elsewhere as well. In addition to her service on the City Council, Ortiz is a former member of the Bethel Budget Committee and Bethel School Board and has represented the council on the Eugene Police Commission and Eugene Human Rights Commission.
Please join me in financially supporting her campaign and vote for Andrea Ortiz for Ward 7 city councilor. She represents the very best in public service.

CHINA BASHING
I am hoping this letter can offer another perspective to China and related issues.
China bashing has been trendy in the media and among the public in Western countries. It is even more so with the recent Tibet riot and free Tibet demonstrations during torch relays. For Tibet issues, please do a little bit research about history of China and Tibet before you use the word "invasion." It is very complicated, and both sides have evidence to support their claims. Also, if you look up the definition of "terrorist," what some Tibetans did during the riot fits in the definition. Apparently, these dictionary-referrings don't solve any problems.
I agree that there are many serious problems in China. However, before we make any conclusion, let's put everything into historical context. The real development of China started about 30 years ago. Astonishing economic growth is unfortunately accompanied by problems such social inequality and pollution. On the other hand, the U.S. has been developed for more than 200 years, and as recently as 50 years ago there was still serious race segregation.
I point this out not to justify what is happening in China but to illustrate that economic and social development just don't happen overnight. It is a good thing to keep some external pressure on China. At the same time, we need to critically think about what is good for China and the U.S. Finger-pointing and confrontation are definitely not the answer. We need to keep the communication going and develop mutual understanding for further collaboration.

WHICH MAFIA DID IT?
Even if I were not an Obama supporter (which I am), I would find Kenneth Elsbree's reasoning outrageous (5/1). His Clinton signs have disappeared, so it follows that the "Obama Mafia" has stolen them.
Maybe it was the McCain Mafia. Maybe the Chicago Mafia. Maybe no Mafia at all. Maybe just some kids with too much time on their hands.
Did he actually witness some shifty-eyed gangsters wearing glow-in-the-dark Obama buttons creep up and scuttle off with his irreplaceable Hillary signs? Will the absence of these signs destroy her chance for nomination?
Come now, Mr. Elsbee. You are giving Clinton supporters a bad name.

A STERLING RECORD
I ask you to vote for Vicki Walker for secretary of state. This office performs the critical tasks of chief auditor and administration of elections. She believes that tax dollars should be spent effectively and efficiently for programs that make Oregon a great place to live.
As Senate General Education Committee chair, she increased K-12 funding by 18 percent; expanded Head Start for 300,000 children; and made college more affordable by working to expand the Oregon Opportunity Center. She promises to make the federal government turn over the 2,673 acres of state trust land they owe us to invest in our common school fund.
She has created the Oregon Sustainability Board and landmark pesticide use reporting to preserve Oregon's rare natural resources of forests, waterways, deserts, grassland, pasture, farmland and scenic wonders. Her environmental record received the highest score from the Oregon League of Conservation Voters.
A person of high integrity, she stands up to powerful interests to protect us from fraud and abuse, whatever the political affiliation the abuser may have. She is in Salem a voice for all of us, regardless of social or economic status. Examples are her laws requiring the secretary of state to accept anonymous reports of waste, inefficiency or abuse, and to increase fines for ethics law violations. Another taxpayer saving was her law limiting the amount of "golden parachute" additional salary school districts can pay administrators when ending contracts.
Walker will perform effectively for good and transparent government. Her record proves this.
Mary Ann Holser, Eugene
PIERCY'S LEADERSHIP
Sometimes a leader comes along who has the courage, ability and compassion to show what a forward-moving community could look like. Mayor Kitty Piercy is such a leader. In just three years, our community is infused with more momentum and optimism, and involving more voices, than was felt in the previous mayor's two terms.
Momentum can be elusive at times, but it can be seen if you look. I'll cite just a few examples. There is every conceivable vested interest at work on the West Eugene traffic issue. That's momentum while leaving something already dead to continue to rot is not. The voices of the people who live and work downtown are now involved in the downtown issue. That's momentum. Planned growth based on need rather than developers' wishes is healthy momentum. Street repair is needed but not at the expense of other services. That's devastation and division, not momentum. Environment? Jobs? Awards and growth are flooding in to prove momentum in both. I have yet to hear a single criticism from the mayor's opponents that is actually constructive rather than just oppositional politics.
We have a choice of old history or new, invigorating momentum for our community. For me, it's a no-brainer. Don't let this important election be bought by mere money. Let it be bought into with appreciation and commitment to let Mayor Kitty Piercy continue her policies of new ideas and inclusion of all interested people … AND healthy momentum! Onward!
Judy Moseley, Eugene
CASSIDY FOR EWEB
My EWEB bill was high this winter, and I know it is expected to keep going up every year. I'm voting for Bob Cassidy to look after the cost of utilities because of his years of financial experience running a business and assisting others with their financial plans. Cassidy has for years testified and participated on community boards to help make our Eugene a great place to live. I'm counting on his expertise.
Ruth Duemler, Eugene
GREEN HAS GUTS
Watching the Lane County Comm-issioner race unfold, one thing is clear: Rob Handy should have run for City Council, not County Commission.
Handy's fortitude at tackling city issues is commendable, but he seems to lack full comprehension of what the commissioner job entails. For example, he begrudges road funds for committed road projects outside Eugene when they could have been used to "fill potholes in Santa Clara and River Road."
By the time the potholes occur, the roads have already failed — more than crack seal and gravel are needed to fix them. The board's responsibility is to serve all of Lane County. For decades, they have given double-digit millions to the City of Eugene, which spends the money on new projects rather than upkeep of existing roads. Green cannot be held accountable for the city's failure to preserve local streets.
Green is the only commissioner working at federal and state levels to overcome the financial crisis Lane County faces due to fading timber monies, and soon, road funds. Had he not proven he is a man of honor, no doors would open for him. No one else can step in and assume those contacts when they are needed most.
Green has guts — he took the dire step of implementing an income tax that ultimately was doomed to fail, and he is the only elected official in Oregon who spoke against the proposed hospital on North Delta, knowing the traffic nightmare it would create.
We need Green on the board — he works hard to help preserve our quality of life in Lane County.
Ann Simas, Eugene
THIS IS THE TIME
I am writing to remind everyone who supports Kitty Piercy to please, please vote in the primary. If she gets 50 percent plus one vote, she wins the mayoral race outright, Jim Torrey is out, and Piercy does not have to keep campaigning. Please, tell your friends and family: This primary vote is critical in more ways than one. Take care of our community: Vote for Piercy in the primary.
Amy Isler Gibson, Eugene
EDITOR'S NOTE: In nonpartisan primary races, a candidate who gets 50-plus percent of the vote will stand alone on the November ballot, but could still lose to a write-in campaign.
WALKER THE BEST CHOICE
As precinct committee persons for the Democratic Party of Lane County, we are very concerned that we choose the best Democratic candidate for Oregon's next secretary of state. Therefore, we attended a forum hosted by KLCC at which we could hear the three major candidates and ask them questions.
We gave a lot of thought as to what were the major responsibilities of the position and what types of decisions they may be forced to make if elected. In 2000, there was a census, and in 2010 there will be another one. One of the requirements that stem from such a census is that, due to changes in Oregon's population, a reapportionment of all legislative districts must be done to reflect these changes. We know that as a consequence of the 2000 census, it fell to the secretary of state to play a major role in this process, so we asked the following question of all three candidates:
"What do you see as the likely role which would be played by Oregon's next secretary of state in the reapportionment of legislative districts after the 2010 census, and why would you be the best candidate to play that role?"
All three candidates addressed this question with varying degrees of clarity and specificity. The only male candidate simply stated that he had lost part of his district the last time and offered no further comment that answered the question. Both of the other candidates did better in laying out the procedures they would follow, but Sen. Vicki Walker had the best answer and stated that she would not see it as her job as Oregon's secretary of state to protect the legislative districts of incumbent senators but to protect the interests of Oregon's citizens!
We have known Walker for quite some time and worked on every campaign she has run for positions representing the citizens of Lane County. We believe she has served us well and would serve the state of Oregon well as our next secretary of state. Therefore, we would like to add our endorsements to those she has already received.
G. Dennis Shine, Kate Wallace, Springfield
REGRESSION, PLEASE!
In 1905 there were only 150 pollution spewing, sprawl inducing automobiles in the entire state of Oregon. In 1905, Eugene had compact urban growth, more density than at present, a local foodshed, no herbicides, lots of surrounding old-growth timber, intact wetlands, good anadromous fish runs and people who got around by walking or utilizing organically powered horses whose "exhaust" contributed only minutely to global warming. Downtown was the unquestioned commercial center of the community. Taxes were low and government was close to the people.
What current "progressive" would not want to return to those idyllic days? Just one question: If the above described state of affairs is the current progressive ideal, why aren't we proudly calling ourselves "regressives"?
Jenny Moos, Eugene
SINCLAIR SERVES
I've known Cynthia Sinclair (justice of the peace in Springfield) for most of my life. I know how much she cares about public safety. I know how much she cares about her community. I did environmental volunteer work with her back in the 1970s before it was considered trendy or even important. I've worked with her doing animal welfare work and I know how much she cares for the defenseless.
I have seen her work on the Springfield school's Budget Committee, Parks Committee and Truancy Task Force. She does everything she can to keep a child from throwing away his or her future by not going to school.
She wants the public parks to be maintained and clean and safe. She wants boaters to wear their life vests; she wants people to buckle up, yes, because it is the law, but more importantly because she knows what happens in a crash to an unsecured driver.
Sinclair has lived here and worked here for almost 30 years, through good times and bad. This county is her home, and her loyalties are here. She works at her job and volunteers her time to others because she cares, not because it's required to complete a program or pass a class or because an election is coming up. Her history of caring and volunteering goes back more than 30 years because she has a caring heart and character.
Join me in keeping a good person on the bench.
Rita Castillo, Springfield
CORPORATE BREW
During my life in Eugene, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the Weekly. I am excited about your passion to support our local community and your attempt to rise above most modern media censorship and partial truths. That is, until this week's edition.
Your full page color Budweiser ad has me appalled and confused, as does your additional color Bud Light ad following just a few pages afterward. "Buy corporate beer!" you say, and "Support China's rice exports!" I am disappointed in your ability to remain an independent newspaper going against the demand for sell-out media.
Thanks, EW, for selling out what your supporters stand for most: Eugene and its people. Down with Bud!
Suggestions for improvement: Support local breweries who support local economies — there are many to choose from. Highlight the organic brewing movement — help from the media is just what it needs. Tell the public about home brewing — many people in Eugene participate.
Tobias Schock, Eugene
DOES GREEN REALLY CARE?
Taxation without representation; that what I've got in current Lane County Commissioner Bobby Green. Inaccess-ibility is what I've got in Bobby Green. After several phone calls to his office that went unreturned I was assured by a staff person that "Bobby really does care about your concerns." He certainly has an odd way of showing it. I have never had the experience of his "caring for my concerns" at any of my neighborhood meetings.
I, a citizen and taxpayer, deserve so much better in a county representative. I want a change.
Rob Handy is the change that I and all in District 4 need and deserve. Handy is accessible and willing to share his input on matters that concern me: railroad "plume," congestion and safety on River Road, back-door annexation by the city, etc. As leader of the River Road Community Organization, Handy reaches out to all. He has done an amazing job of organizing, communicating and following up on information of concern to us.
Please join me in voting for "Leadership for a Change" and electing Rob Handy Lane County commissioner.

EUGENE NOT EXEMPT
"Where are the Eugene feminists?" a woman asked at the Hillary Clinton booth at the Saturday Market. "What do they mean that only older women and uneducated people are for Hillary?" another female Ph.D. asked. People have found the Hillary booth a welcome place to state the obvious: The male/female double standards have never been more evident, even in green Eugene. Why?
For one thing, MoveOn.org got it wrong several months ago but ran with it anyway. They decided to make a preemptive strike to promote only one candidate instead of letting the democratic process unfold in this primary election. Then, the Democratic National Committee also decided that the old-fashioned process (to let all citizens vote and count all the votes) should be replaced by emulating the Rovian way of disenfranchising voters and votes by repetitive bully talk.
MoveOn.org, the DNC and the Obama camp have tried everything short of hog-tying Clinton to stop her from running for president. But she won all the big states with big electoral numbers anyway. Besides that, she has Wesley Clark and Joe Wilson at her side! Those two men are exactly whom you would trust in a national emergency. Also, two very wise writers, Maya Angelou and John Grisham, are campaigning for Hillary Clinton.
Not everyone has accepted the double standards, the voting debacle, the cool corporate-like logo or commercial hitchhiking on the coattails of JFK. Bobby Kennedy's activist kids stand with Clinton. Half of all of us are with Hillary for President.
Deb Huntley, Eugene
In the March 20 issue, the letter from Sara Rich headed "End the Madness" starts with the words "Five years later with over a million dead Iraqis, a destroyed Iraq, trillions of dollars spent and worst of all close to 4,000 dead U.S. soldiers." When I read this, I thought, oh boy, here come the letters condemning the disproportionate value she puts on U.S. lives as opposed to Iraqis. But, to my dismay, nobody wrote anything. Am I the only reader who finds it repugnant to say 250 Iraqi lives aren't worth one American life? How arrogant Americans are! I think it is obvious, at least to the rest of the world, that one American life is worth only something like about 30 or maybe 40 Iraqi lives. Certainly not anything above 100!
Fred Roellig, Eugene
IS THIS ENGLAND?
I am a disabled senior in a wheelchair living alone on River Road. Now that there is no funding for police or the Sheriff's Department and the county jail is letting people out, I can no longer even report vandalism to my place. The police will not even take a report. However, when I asked, "What am I supposed to do, get a shotgun, and get someone who burglarizes me or attacks me?" The police said, "Oh no, you cannot do that! You cannot shoot someone who attacks you, breaks into your house! Then we make you the legal criminal!"
So much for law and order. There are no more police, they refuse to take vandalism reports, criminals are all being let out of county jail, and yet, we seniors, disabled, are refused the right to protect ourselves? Is this England?
I have been a victim of rape and, in a big city, was beaten up and put in the hospital years ago; I almost lost my eyesight. I refuse to let that happen to me again. If the police can no longer protect us, why are we not allowed to protect ourselves? I would like other seniors and disabled to answer this — and our elected officials. This should be a big topic in the elections.
Dorothy Bucher, Eugene
WE ARE NOT A DIVE
I am writing in response to Jeremy Ohmes' review of the Scotland Barr band (4/17).
I work at the Axe & Fiddle in Cottage Grove, and it is certainly not a "dive." Apparently the writer has never been in the A&F, or else he won't be satisfied with less than the Top of the Mark in San Francisco.
I have worked in clubs, bars, pubs, concert halls, arenas, etc. for over 30 years, and I have never found a friendlier, more relaxed and aesthetically pleasing entertainment environment in any of the places I have been. The people are so friendly, and it is the kind of place where you want to bring a date or your spouse. Good food, good spirits and truly friendly people in a beautiful building — a fine combination and a wonderful lack of violent, rowdy people.
Perhaps Ohmes should use a little gas and make the trip here, hear some of the really fine music provided by the Axe & Fiddle and get over his prejudices about Cottage Grove as a town that can only have dives for entertainment.
R.L. Cook III, Cottage Grove
EW TOO KINKY
We have been an advertiser in your paper in the past and a distribution point for over two years. You have added "Kinks" to your personals column area, and we at Shambala think you have gone too far. We were against the folks who were up in arms about the Dan Savage column because we feel that his column has some redeeming value, in that he gives good healthy advice.
The Weekly has had a fine reputation in the past, but when you allow language and content like we see in "Kinks" in a community paper that is free and easily accessible to minors, we think that reputation has been degraded quite a bit. As a store, we will not consider advertising or being a distribution point for the Eugene Weekly as long as these types of forums are a part of the paper. The people who are taking out these ads have a right to advertise and look for what makes them happy, but we feel that a certain amount of discretion is necessary. There must be other publications that these folks can advertise in that do not represent the community.
We are against this column because the ads in Kinks are promoting practices for an adult audience that should not be available to children. We know it is a fine line, but we feel that you have taken a huge step across it. This paper represents Eugene to the visitors and guests to this city, and we are asking you to ask the big question: "What does this say about our community?" and "What does this say about this publication?"
John R. Hicks, Owner/Manager, Shambala
PIERCY'S QUICK RESPONSE
It is rare for a business to affect the heart of a community, but Flicks n Pics, the now-closed movie rental store, was such a place. Friday nights, the smell of popcorn and opportunity for good conversation were as welcome and expected as my morning coffee.
It's a comfort to know that most of their unique movie collection can be rented from the Eugene Public Library. What may not be known is that the library's purchase of the collection would not have happened without quick action by Mayor Kitty Piercy.
After reading news articles of the pending sale of the Flicks n Pics movie inventory in just a few short days, I contacted Mayor Piercy and asked her if the Eugene Library could purchase the collection. She immediately contacted library cultural services and the collection was bought from its civic-minded owners.
Although the mayor's action may not rank as high as issues raised in the heat of a contentious political campaign, to me it demonstrates how Kitty Piercy quietly and effectively gets the job done. I've lived in Eugene since 1978, and this is the first time I've felt that a mayor would take my suggestions or concerns seriously.
Regrettably, Flicks n Pics is gone due to changing video technology and economics. But I'm told the former owners are pleased with the outcome. Thanks to Mayor Piercy, both the collection and legacy of a much-beloved neighborhood video rental store continue.
Leslie Weinstein, Eugene
I am seeking candidates who will invest in processes to find a problem's root, undertake the thinking needed to solve it, then take the action necessary to end the problem. This process must involve the community for citizens to trust the solution and be willing to make changes.
I heard a story that two women were very hungry and went to then-Mayor Jim Torrey. He took them out to breakfast. So they think he is a wonderful man. But Mayor Kitty Piercy has observed the problem of homelessness and established a committee to examine the local impact of homelessness, identify strategies and make recommendations to the City Council related to new funding and finance options. Being a nice person isn't sufficient for public office; we need candidates with policies that address and end problems.
In like manner, I will be supporting Rob Handy for north Eugene County commissioner as he works to first establish a relationship of trust with county citizens. He has knocked on more than 12,000 doors in his district to genuinely represent us when decisions are made. Rob will continue to broaden his knowledge before implementing actions for long-lasting benefit.
Andrea Ortiz for City Council and Vicki Walker for secretary of state will also work for long-term solutions that benefit citizens. Andrea listened and advocated for Ward 7 constituents on annexation, railyard pollution, and air pollution when Bobby Green didn't show up. Vicki has proven she is the only candidate who will fight for the powerless, giving everyone a voice in Salem. Her Counting for Oregon plan is full of ideas on how she will move Oregon forward. Skip candidates who offer short-term fixes that don't solve problems.
Carleen Reilly, Eugene
RACE AS A CRITERIA
Today (5/8), Sen. Hillary Clinton cited an Associated Press poll "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening."
I was hoping that Clinton would not go so far as to use race as a specific criteria for a person to become president of the U.S. It appears that is exactly what Clinton has begun to do.
Clinton's statement that Obama's support is changing with "white Americans" indicates to me that Clinton believes that other races of Americans are not as important as "white Americans" and that a non-white American cannot win the votes of "white Americans."
This idea is racist and needs to be confronted. It is obvious that race has been and continues to be an issue in all elections in all areas of the U.S. This is a fact of the conditions of the American polity brought about by attitudes and beliefs generated by the forced enslavement of human beings performed by persons who perpetrated their crimes many years ago. These attitudes and beliefs are false and should not be used to justify a presidential candidates run for office in the 21st century.
We cannot change history. However, any politician in the 21st century who attempts to profit politically from these false attitudes and beliefs needs to be rejected and reeducated about what it means when we say that we all are created equal in the sight of God.
Gerry Merritt, Eugene
NOTHING'S CHANGED
You guys really crack me up sometimes, because you write like you've only lived here a year! And I know it's not the case. Let's start with where we agree and devolve from there shall we?
Under the current council/manager system, the mayor is essentially a figurehead. I can't believe you haven't tried to get your little army of prog activists to change the system. That would truly serve ALL Eugene.
Yet neither Piercy nor Torrey care enough to try to change it. Why? Because that's their excuse when you ask them why nothing has been done!
You went to war when Broadway Place went up, yet not even a whimper now it's being replicated one block up. PeaceHealth told the city to eff off because the council (esp., Bettmann and Taylor) thought they could dictate terms to the hospital. Torrey was mayor, and couldn't take control, so all of 'em effed up! We got empty spaces with Torrey as mayor, and more empty spaces with Piercy. Where the hell is your memory?
In Piercy's four years, what one thing, other than it "being Kitty," has truly differentiated her tenure from a Torrey administration. Nothing, other than you feel a little better. Wow, kudos.
Thanks for the entertainment, especially all you fascists who write in and try to tell the paper whose advertising they can accept or not. Truly naziesque. Well done!
Scott Zeppa, Eugene
VOTE HAS MEANING
Your vote counts, what do you want? This election is the first time I can remember that my vote really means something on a national level. As the election grows closer it becomes more clear that the voters want their voices heard. We are ready for a president who is in touch with the people. We are ready for change. The local election is no different; the time for change is now. Thirteen years by the incumbent County Commissioner is long enough. I want someone who is in touch with the people. I want my local voice heard.
I am voting for Rob Handy for Lane County Commissioner. I know he will provide the leadership we need and the change we want.
Teri Kohley, Eugene
As we ponder our choice of leaders, we should consider values which are basic to the general welfare of all the people. Values of greatest importance are those that lift us out of our self-centered pre-occupations. In an interdependent and interrelated world, the major hindrance to a new and better planetary culture is national, racial, political, religious, economic and individual selfishness.
Transcending selfishness ensures the vision of a better world becoming factual.
Contrary to the picture that is presented by the media, there is a growing tide of aspiration towards a new vision for better ways of life for all people everywhere in the world. Our consciousness is opening to unifying ideas and to the realization that there are desirable, inclusive values to be built into every aspect of life, superseding the materialism which has controlled humanity for centuries.
A significant value currently needed is goodwill, which is an inclusive, cooperative attitude of mind, and is literally "love in action." Goodwill encourages justice and integrity in those with influence and authority. It is the cornerstone of a human society responding to the values of the new planetary culture. The development of goodwill can lead to right human relationships and economic stability, based on the spirit of sharing.
As we go about our daily lives, in all of our decisions and relationships, let us support in thought and action those who act with goodwill on behalf of the general welfare of all the people.
Christopher Michaels, Eugene

The main type of PVE at the moment is called ratting - killing "rats" (Pirates) for their loot and bounties. This PVE takes place in anomalies. The second kind is called mission running. Doing missions for rewards, drops, and isk
Combat Anomalies
Anomalies are combat sites. Inside you will find NPC's immediately ready to fight you. They are a great source of modules for your ship, and each killed will pay you a small bounty in ISK, automatically deposited in your wallet after a small period of time.
Anomaly Difficulty
All anomalies have a difficulty level ranging from 1 to 10. An anomaly's difficulty level is displayed as a small number to the right of its name in the Overview. The difficulty level determines the types of NPC ships you'll be up against. Level 1 and 2 anomalies will only have poorly equipped frigates and destroyers, whereas a level 10 anomaly will have cruisers and battle-cruisers, and will have more advanced mods, including stasis webs and warp disruptors. The difficulty of an anomaly is always the same as the base that spawned it. More on that below…
Anomaly Types
The Base anomaly in a system is what spawns all of the other anomaly types listed below. The level of the base determines the level of the anomalies it will spawn. If left alone to do it's thing, a base will periodically level up to a more difficult base that spawns more difficult anomalies. If a base is destroyed, no more anomalies will spawn in that system. Eventually the base will respawn at level 1 and start spawning level 1 anomalies. There is nothing special about the loot you get from a base. The fight is effectively the same as a Large Anomaly of the same level. Therefore, and I can't stress this enough… DO NOT DESTROY A BASE. EVER! Leaving a base alone to level up means it will spawn better and better anomalies with better and better loot for you to farm. Bases are your friends. Leave them be.
Small/Medium/Large
Just as difficulty determines the quality of the NPCs you'll face, the size determines the quantity. Small anomalies will have 2 to 4 waves of 2 to 7 ships each. Medium anomalies will have 3 to 5 waves of 3 to 12 ships each. Large anomalies will have 3 to 5 waves of 3 to 19 ships each.
Inquisitor Anomalies
The Inquisitor is a rare spawning anomaly where you can find rig blueprints and crafting materials to make them! When you warp to it, there will be a gate. Activating the gate will take you to the first fight. After clearing this area, you'll notice another gate. Activate it to be taken to the second fight. Clearing this area will unlock a number of nearby containers - inside you'll find your blueprints, and sometimes some crafting materials as well. The higher the level of the Inquisitor, the better the blueprints will be. And as mentioned before, the level of the Base in the system determines the level of the Small/Medium/Large/Inquisitor spawns. So one more time… DO NOT DESTROY A BASE. EVER!
Scout Anomalies
Scout anomalies are another rare spawn from bases. Here you can find blueprints and datacores, needed for reverse engineering. Much like Inquisitor anomalies, scout anomalies are accessed by a warp gate that leads you to a place with another warp gate. Follow the gates until you see special loot appear. This loot can only be opened after defeating all enemies at this location.
Deadspace Anomalies
The last kind of the rare spawns currently present in Eve Echoes are the Deadspace Anomalies, and they drop the best(currently) items in the game. Unlike Inquisitor and Scout anomalies, Deadspace anomalies only spawn on systems with base level of 6 and above, with a much lower chance of spawning the higher the security level of the system currently being ratted on. Deadspace anomalies spawn the C-type modules-fitted elite ships and they naturally drop them. But in some of the cases of the elite wrecks can there be faction debris that can be used in reverse engineering the respective faction ship blueprints..
Encounters are minor missions of different types. Ranging from exploration based, combat based and more, their objectives can differ wildly, however most encounters are fairly quick and can offer a good source of reliable income. Harder encounters can be found closer to low security space, as of yet this does not get harder than that in nullsec, and most encounters will keep you in "Empire" space (High and Low Security space combined.) They also occasionally reward powerful and rare modules, so keep an eye out for a good find!
Missions are task giving to you by the game that generally involve killing some NPCs. Their generally reward isk(in-game currency).
News Missions
These special missions are pre-requisite to rare storyline missions.
Special missions with great rewards. They are started through a tradeable item after finishing the pre-requisite news missions. These items or "Assignments" can be sold on market to other players. These missions are very lucrative and increased in difficulty! Do not go into them unprepared! Some NPCs will use electronic warfare including Warp Scramblers. .

Starr Issues Reading List Subpoena to Every U.S. Citizen
By Bruce McCall
Bruce McCall is a regular contributor to the New Yorker. He is author of the memoir, "Thin Ice: Coming of Age in Canada."
Panic is reportedly gripping the great and near great today in the wake of Whitewater special prosecutor Kenneth W. Starr's issuance of broad subpoenas to every bookstore, book club and library in the United States. In a sweeping expansion of his powers, he intends to track down not only Monica S. Lewinsky's fare but what every other American has read or is reading.
"Then," Starr explains, "we can burn up another $50 million, easy, dragging people before grand juries to explain why." Asked what any of this has to do with Whitewater, Starr claimed the connection was obvious. "Book pages are white, and books should never be read underwater," he stated. But it is his office's propensity for leaks that is giving shivers to public figures--and, true to form, the flow of tantalizing tidbits has already begun.
For example, unattributed word out of Little Rock is that ardent Clinton apologist James Carville is reading "The Life of P.T. Barnum" and that an order to Amazon.com for a backlist copy of "How to Pick Up Girls" was recently e-mailed by the law office of Clinton advisor and crony, Vernon E. Jordan Jr., while Atty. Gen. Janet Reno's bedside copy of "Dress for Success" is now an open secret.
"The obvious political taint of these leaks is understandable, if not pardonable," observes one legal scholar, "but going after citizens far outside the Beltway--that's foul play." He referred to a second round of leaks revealing that "Titanic" director James Cameron demanded a refund after purchasing "10 Ways To a More Assertive You," 17-year-old former child star and soon-to-be-bridegroom Macaulay Culkin bought himself "The Kamasutra," former presidential candidate and California Gov. Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown Jr. owns "Memoirs of a Space Alien" (first edition), ex-statesman Henry A. Kissinger is currently poring over "Teach Yourself to Tango," and that "So You Want to Put On a Broadway Show!" is a recent addition to the library of songwriter Paul Simon. Financial community insiders, meanwhile, are pronouncing themselves "shaken" that Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's latest book order, sent in last week, is "How To Profit From the Coming Recession."
Following on the heels of these revelations is word, just out, that Starr's investigators have "hit pay dirt" in an international computer cross-indexing exercise: Palestinian Authority leader Yasser Arafat ordering "The Joys of Yiddish"; Libyan strongman Moammar Kadafi sending "10 Ways to Control That Temper" to fellow mega-thug Saddam Hussein; a copy of the "The Cocktail Bar in Your Medicine Chest," winging its way to "Thirsty, c/o the Kremlin."
Efforts of Starr's critics to turn the tables and leak his personal reading preferences have, to date, been less than successful. "All we've found," says a counter-investigator, "is Volumes II through IX of 'A History of the Spanish Inquisition,' autobiographies by the Marquis de Sade and Cardinal Richelieu, 'How to Get a Government Job,' a few John Grisham novels and a Superman comic. Not much to build a case on there."


Countless QA teams continue using subpar testing tools because they can't stand the thought of migrating thousands of test artifacts or training testers on an entirely new platform. Many would prefer the status quo of using their current toolset because they believe that a migration will be painful or that it will slow them down.
But there's a problem with that logic: The longer they wait, the more obsolete their current toolset becomes, and the further removed QA becomes from the rest of the software development lifecycle—which often means that testing lags behind, remaining a roadblock on the agile transformation journey.
It's time to offer your QA and development teams a modern testing platform that seamlessly integrates testing into the modern toolstack your development and delivery teams are already using. Don't let the pain of migration be the thing that holds you back.


Escalating in reputation in Western cultures, the practice of asana, or yoga, as it is more popularly recognized, is a series of movements that are accomplished in sequences that maximize the flow of oxygen and blood by way of the physique. So if you happen to be in a heated class and you're capable to move and breathe and do the perform, then I do consider it can enhance your probabilities of fat loss since you happen to be functioning that much tougher. The benefits of anxiety reduction and mindfulness connected with yoga could lead to improved sleep, better consuming habits, and enhanced self-awareness, which could mean far more weight loss and improved upkeep of weight loss benefits over time.
Thanks to some of these late night infomercials individuals are led to think that an ab machine or other successful weight loss tool is the way to go and that creams, powders and tablets are the only way to accomplish weight loss – unfortunately you are not losing weight trying these – you are just losing your income. In your yoga practice and in other activities make positive to pay interest to your body, says Berns.
There are some excellent weight loss ideas and tricks based on the yogic life-style and conscious living (which includes conscious consuming). This Yoga Sculpt class utilizes weights all through to help sculpt and tone your body as you stretch and move through your yoga poses. Do not commence a yoga practice, quit smoking, stop drinking, and go vegetarian all on the exact same day.
You sweat like crazy throughout hot yoga classes, but sweat is not an accurate indicator of how a lot of calories you are killing. Self control, strong will energy and determination are the most crucial components for permanent weight loss. Yoga is the only exercise which can assist you to reduce weight with no considering quantity of sweating as a benchmark.
When you get a clear bill of overall health, you can commence altering your diet plan and incorporating yoga to increase your gut's function. If you combine a regular practice of yoga with other types of workout, aerobic and resistance, consume a effectively-selected diet program, whether you intentionally consist of the alternatives of the yoga diet regime, you will experience several health benefits AND, most almost certainly, loss of excess body fat.


How Much Do Snap-In Dentures Cost?
What Types of Dentures Are Best for You and Your Budget?
According to the American College of Prosthodontists, over 36 million people in the U.S. do not have any teeth, and 120 million people are missing at least one tooth. Are you among this population in need of either dental implants or dentures? If so, navigating your prosthodontic options can be difficult, especially if you have financial concerns. Fortunately, snap-in dentures costs are relatively low—even lower when you choose a teaching clinic like Penn Dental Medicine for dental care.
A dental implant is a tooth replacement that is surgically inserted into your jaw. Dentures are removable appliances— usually reserved for patients who have multiple missing teeth. Wearing dentures can help with patient's eating, speaking and building confidence in their smile. These devices require the same level of cleaning as natural teeth do. Therefore, rinsing, brushing, and storing your dentures in a safe place when you are not using them are all essential care techniques.
Conventional dentures are not placed in your mouth until after all teeth are removed and tissues have healed. This process can take several months.
Immediate dentures can be inserted the same day your teeth are removed. While having "teeth" during your healing period is a relief to many patients, note that you may still need to get the dentures relined after the jaw has fully healed.
Overdentures fit over the remaining natural teeth in your mouth. This option is suitable for patients who have some teeth that can be saved and supported by the denture.
An implant-supported denture functions a bit differently. The process involves first inserting and anchoring the necessary implants into the jaw. Next, an extension that can snap on and off will hold the implants in place. Snap-in dentures are an affordable denture choice for patients who need several teeth replaced but cannot afford the cost of multiple implants.
Penn Dental Medicine believes in access to affordable prosthodontic care. Because we are a teaching clinic affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, we provide discounted procedures and treatments for Philadelphia residents and surrounding communities.
At your first appointment, one of the student dentists from the prestigious University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine will examine your mouth and determine the best type of treatment you need. Our student dentists always work under the supervision of professional faculty members, so you can rest assured you are getting the highest quality of care possible.
To further improve the cost of this first appointment, we are offering all first-time patients a $25-off coupon! Make sure to print the coupon and bring it to your next visit.
For more information about snap-in dentures costs, or to schedule an appointment for a consultation, contact our office at 215-898-8965.


The project was written to support virtualcoke. virtualcoke is an emulator of the behaviour of the PLC that drives the UCC Coke Machine. This is written primarly to avoid club members needing to have access to the coke machine to test code to speak to the machine and the development of the reactor was needed to enable use of the PyModbus Twisted module.
This project, npyscreenreactor, has taken sometime to come to fruition with an initial working release of the code in March 2015, some bug fixing in June, working examples in August and probably what will now be a stable version in September.
For this the goal, feedback, and skill have been there. However, the available time/energy has not (due to other commitments, such as work). The wider project that will use virtualcoke, I still need to throw some energy at, but it is now lower down my list of priorities.
In things apart from this, flow has been less forthcoming of late and I'll need to work on it. The challenge being to set up a positive reinforcing cycle where the achieving the goal generates warm fuzzies and more enthusiasm to work harder.
… of actually completing things.
Upon reflection, it appears to have been a sucessful week.
Work – We relocated offices (including my own desk (again)) over the previous week from one slightly pre-used office building to another more well-used office building. My role as part of this project was to ensure that the mechanics of the move as far as IT and Comms occured and proceed smoothly. After recabling the floor, working with networks, telephones and desktops staff it was an almost flawless move, and everyone was up and running easily on Monday morning. I received lots of positive feedback which was good.
Choir – The wrap up SGM for the 62nd Australian Intervarsity Choral Festival Perth 2011, Inc happened. Pending the incorporation of the next festival, it is all over bar a few cheques and paperwork. Overall it was a great festival and as Treasurer was pleased with the final financial result (positive).
Hacking – This weeks little project has been virtualsnack. This is a curses emulator of the UCC Snack Machine and associated ROM. It is based on a previous emulator written with PyGTK and Glade that had bitrotted in the past ten years to be non-functioning and not worth the effort to ressurect. The purpose of the emulator is enable development of code to speak to the machine without having to have the real machine available to test against.
I chose to continue to have the code in python and used npyscreen as the curses UI library. One of the intermediate steps was creating a code sample, EXAMPLE-socket.py, which creates a daemon that speaks to a curses interfaces.
I hereby present V1.0 "Gobbledok" of virtualsnack. virtualsnack is hosted up on Github for the moment, but may move in future. I suspect this item of software will only be of interest to my friends at UCC.
Continued travel up from Melbourne through Albury, Gundagai, Yass and onwards to Canberra which is where I am currently writing to you from.
Having lived all my life effectively on the coast, inland population centres both fascinate and confuse me. Why would anyone life so far from the ocean? What do you do with the extra land that is in one of your four compass directions?
From this visit to Canberra, in comparison to previous ones, the place seems to be going through a bit of a growth spurt. Talking with the lovely P last night, I was amazed at the comparatively low housing costs compared to Perth. This is probably making the place attractive to live for some.
Didn't do as much tourist stuff as I had hoped today. Was a bit sad when I visited the Telstra Tower to hear that the museum that was there is no more.
Notable achievement for the day was organising a catch up with all my favourite Canberra folk on Monday night.


A public hearing on proposed amendments to the town's entertainment and special events law, including one that would give the Southold Town Board the responsibility of approving or denying special events permits, is set for Tuesday, March 13.
The Town Board discussed revising the special events law in July. As the law stands now, special events, such as music festivals or bike races, are approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals chairperson, while the Town Board handles appeals. Both Town Supervisor Scott Russell and ZBA chairperson Leslie Weisman had said the administrative function should not have been placed with the chair.
The legislation proposes the creation of a special events committee that would review applications and make recommendations to the Town Board as to whether the application should be granted or denied. The committee would consist of the town government liaison officer as chairperson, as well as the Zoning Board of Appeals chairperson, the police chief, the planning director and chief building inspector or each of their designees, according to the proposed amendments.
Another presented change includes allowing the Town Board, if they determine that there is no specific town benefit from the event or if the event is conducted for profit, an additional deposit could be made in an amount determined by the additional police, highway and cleanup costs associated with the event and used to cover those costs.
