Creating Queries in OpenOffice.org Base
Queries are the database equivalent of filters in a spreadsheet. Just as a filter can limit and reorganize the information displayed in a spreadsheet, so a query limits and reorganizes the information in a database. Either can be an efficient way of finding the information you want, especially when you're dealing with thousands of records. Of course, in the hands of an expert, queries can be far more precise — and complicated — than a filter, but, if you are using OpenOffice.org Base, then the analogy generally holds true, although queries are slightly more complicated than filters to set up. When saved in Base for long term use, a query becomes a view.
You can create a query in any database set up in Base. In fact, Base offers you three different ways to write a query: in a wizard, which guides you through the process; in Design View, which provides a minimal amount of guidance, and in SQL View, which provides no guidance at all. If you are a database expert, you might prefer Design or SQL View. However, like the Function Wizard in Calc or the introductory wizard in Impress, Base's Query Wizard has the advantage of helping you organize your thoughts while requiring no previous knowledge. For most people or purposes, there is no reason not to use the wizard.
Creating a Query
To create a query, open a database and click Queries in the left hand pane. The query page is organized like the other pages in Base, with a list of available tasks in the top middle, and a list of existing items in the bottom middle.
Note that, for some reason, Base allows only one query to be listed at a time. If one already exists, it is highlighted in the Queries pane, and any new queries will be sub-queries of the existing one. If that is not what you want, right-click the existing query and choose Create as View from the Context menu to rename the existing query and have it moved to the Tables page. Only when the Queries pane is blank should you click Use Wizard to Create Query in the Tasks pane, and open the Query Wizard.
The first step in creating the query is to select the fields that you want to display in the Query. Note that these are not only the fields that you will use for filtering information, but all the fields you see when using the query. After all, if you are searching for all the addresses in Canada in a list of addresses, you don't want to just display the Country or Region in the Query, because that would just give you a list of records that say "Canada" — most likely, you want at least the names from the address, and probably the street, city, etc. as well. As in other parts of Base, you use the left and right arrow buttons to move the available fields to the fields you are going to use, and the up and down buttons to arrange them in order.
The next step is to sort the order in which responses to your query will display. This page of the wizard, you might notice, is almost identical to the sorting dialogs found in Calc and other parts of OpenOffice.org, allowing you to select up to four fields for sorting. For example, if you were searching for Canadian results in an address database, you might want to display query results sorted by last name, and then by first name.
In the third page of the wizard, you actually set up the query. Again, the dialog should be familiar to you — if not from OpenOffice.org, then in email searches in programs like Evolution or KMail. You can define up to three criteria, setting the field, the condition, and the value. In the case of the Canadian address query, the criteria would be simple: You would select The CountryorRegion field, and specify that it should be equal to Canada. Since you have only one condition, you wouldn't even need to remember to set the conditions to Match any of the following, the way you might in a more complicated query.
On the Detail or Summary page, you have the option of choosing a Detailed Query, in which all records that match the query are displayed, or a Summary Query, in which only the sum, average, minimum or maximum value is shown. For most purposes, you probably want a Detailed Query, especially if the information in the database is non-numerical, as it is with an address book search.
At this point, Base skips two steps in its standard wizard because they are not relevant to queries, and jumps to Aliases. The purpose of this page is to have the fields display in human-readable form, adding small touches such as spaces between words and other grammatical niceties. It is similar to a page in the Report Wizard called Labelling fields.
Finally, you are given an overview of your choices. Take a moment to look over what you have done, using the Back button to make any changes. Once the query is created, the only way to make changes is through the Design View, which can teach you how to use the view, but is still nowhere near as user-friendly as the wizard. You also have the option here to view the new query immediately, or else open it in Design View to add more advanced touches that are beyond the capacity of the wizard.
Using Queries
In order to create additional queries, you should either change any query to a view or delete it when you are finished with it. In either form, you can view it on the far right of the window by selecting Document. Or, if you prefer, you can double-click it to see the Query in a Table Data view in a separate window. To print the query as a report, right-click and select Report Wizard from the context menu.
Queries can become far more complex in other databases, especially when you use functions. In Base, though, they are simple enough that anybody can use them Should you go on to use another database, like PostgrSQL or MySQL, after using queries in Base, you should have a better understanding of what to expect. Meanwhile if you choose to go no further, you have a useful tool that you can quickly customize.
-- Bruce Byfield (nanday)
You should explain the
You should explain the conditions. Base certainly doesn't help the noobies with this.
User-friendly database
I understand how you can create a query in OpenOffice Base. But, is it possible to make the query as user-friendly for a friend that doesn't know much about computers. Changing the query through a list box etc.
If i am setting up a database
If i am setting up a database for contacts, and i want to make a query condition to be the first name, do i have to type in all the names?
What about filters
I understand queries to a database, been doing it for 20+ years. I'm relatively new to spreadsheets. How about an article on filters for a spreadsheet.

The All-New Range Rover Evoque Convertible will be the most capable convertible in the world when it debuts in November after completing Land Rover's punishing development and testing programme with flying colours.
Hot on the heels of last week's London takeover, where six full-scale wireframe sculptures showcased Evoque Convertible's elegant design at a series of iconic locations, Land Rover has released a film showcasing its all-terrain credentials.
The new Porsche CaymanBlack Edition emphasises the timeless and sporting elegance of the mid-engined, two-seat sports coupé. As the name suggests, the model is distinguished by a combination of a black paint finish and black partial leather interior, with further special equipment fitted as standard.
At the heart of the Cayman Black Edition beats an evocative 2.7-litre flat-six engine developing 275 hp (202 kW). The 20-inch Carrera Classic wheels with wider tyres increase style and also further boost the dynamic chassis responses for which the Cayman is renowned. Further eye-catching highlights are Bi-Xenon headlights with PDLS (Porsche Dynamic Light System) and optional side window trims in aluminium.
As the number of fatal accidents involving heavy vehicles has steadily gone up over the years, The Automobile Association of Singapore (AAS) will be launching a training institute to better educate these drivers in a bid to reduce the number of fatalities as a result of the errant operation of such vehicles. The courses, which will touch on the how to properly control their vehicles, will also help educate the drivers about how to analyse a risky situation and hopefully avoid contact.
The AAS' courses will be based off those current curriculm used in the International Road Transport Union (IRU), which currently offers certifications to commercial drivers in the EU. Three courses will be offered initially - crash prevention, safe loading and cargo securing, with elements of eco-driving thrown in.

Suzuki Motor Corporation has announced its exhibits for the 44th Tokyo Motor Show 2015 (organised by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association), which will open to the public on 30 October until 8 November.
The theme for Suzuki's booth is "SUZUKI NEXT 100". Suzuki will be celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2020, so the exhibits represent proposals for products and technologies that give a sense of the company's preparations for ongoing success in the next 100 years.
Rio. The first thing that came to my mind was Brazil, or more specifically, Rio de Janeiro. It brings to mind carnivals and festivals, upbeat music, good food and an all-around party atmosphere. Throw in scenic views of mother earth as well as a long historical and cultural heritage and you have a place that's bursting with life and diversity.

For new cars
Thinking of buying a new or used car? Most of us have been down that road. The entire process, from the time when the thought of getting a new ride was just a gleam in your eye, to the moment you take possession of the keys, can take anywhere between weeks, months or even years. If you are buying a car for the first time, a word from the wise and the kanna-burned-before: take your time.
Truth is, for a big-ticket item like a car, it pays to be prudent and do plenty of due diligence. For most of us, being stuck with a lemon of a car has consequences that extend into other parts of our lives financially. Correspondingly, a good deal can affect your ability to pay off a bigger mortgage, for instance, or mean a little more tuition for you...
Volvo Cars, the premium car maker, and Autoliv, the automotive safety technology company, two of the world's leaders in automotive safety, have agreed to work together on the groundbreaking Drive Me project, the world's first large-scale autonomous driving (AD) initiative.
Drive Me involves 100 self-driving Volvos being used by families and commuters on public roads in everyday driving conditions in the Swedish city of Gothenburg – the first time anywhere in the world AD cars have been made available to members of the public for their daily use.
As part of the preparation works for the upcoming Joo Koon Bus Interchange, the traffic junction of Joo Koon Bus Interchange/Joo Koon Circle will be temporarily switched on on the 6th of October, from 6.00 am to 7.00 pm.

Eating disorders affect 10 million women and the numbers increase each decade. But when someone with an eating disorder wrestles for control, the rest of the family often feel out of control.On Tuesday's web chat we will be joined by Dr. Beth Weinstock a psychologist in Narberth who specializes in treatment of trauma and eating disorders. Today's edition of "voices in the family" will also be on eating disorders and will focus on current research.
Dear Dr. GottliebMy husband and I have concerns about my adolescent daughter and was hoping you could steer me in the appropriate direction. Our daughter's diet has become increasingly restrictive and rigid over the last two years as she always seems to be trying to lose more weight. Prior to all of this, she seemed to have a good self image and self esteem, is a heavily involved student and althlete, with lots of friends. I have underlying fears, as I grew up with a sister who was both anorexic and bulimic for all of our shared teen years. I lived through the lies from her and the denial of my parents until she was almost dead, twice. I need to make sure that we intervene if it is appropriate. SO if you can tell me if any of the things I describe seem like red flags, please help. If not, I understand and I hope you can give me some direction for seeking additional advice.
Several other things have us concerned. Lately she has been lying and all of our efforts to stop this have been unsuccessful. Usually the lies are about food and when we confront her with questions, she gives us poor explanations. When does this become a concern? I will not fail to act if needed. Is this just like cheating on any diet or weight loss plan? When does this become about "control". I was always told that eating disorders are a mental illness steeped in the need to gain control over a portion of one's life.

October 13, 2015
LINCOLN, Neb. -- Just after 7 p.m. on Sunday, Lincoln Police and Fire crews responded to a call on 48th and 'R' streets for a rollover crash.
A driver told emergency crews that she ran a red light and hit a car with three people inside, which caused the car to turn on its side.
An ambulance took the three people to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
10/11 News spoke to Jamie Unger, who was near by and heard the crash.
"We heard the initial crash and we heard the car rolling over," said Unger. "It must have been a long roll or done multiple revolutions, it was a really loud and long collision."
LFR Captain Rick Schneider said all three were wearing their seatbelts.
The crash shut down the south bound lanes of 48th Street for about an hour, while police investigated and cleaned up the crash.

McClain files to run for re-election to county commission
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2008 at 5:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2008 at 5:32 p.m.
On Wednesday, County Commissioner Stan McClain filed to run for re-election in 2008.
"Marion County is one of Florida's finest communities," McClain said in a press release.
"We have accomplished a lot over the past four years, but there is more to be done, and I am excited about talking with voters about my commitment to smart economic growth and protection of our water and natural resources."
In the release, McClain, first elected in 2004, said protection of the county's springs and water resources were objectives for a second term.
Democrat Mike Sizemore, the chairman of the Marion County Soil and Water Conservation District, has also filed to run for District 3 in 2008.

Firstly the receptionist had a real bad attitude, I booked and paid for a double room, she decided that because I was on my own to give me a single. When I asked to be moved she was very unhappy....
The place itself it tatty, badly stained furniture, marks all over the walls..
If you have a room on the 4th floor don't expect to use the lift in the morning as it's fully occupied by the chambermaids..
Worst of all the hotel has a serious mosquito problem, in the two months I've been away I've been bitten about 20 times...two nights here doubled it!!!!
I can't recommend staying elsewhere highly enough...
The rest of the staff were just fine, so it's got that going for it!!

How to Be Human.
"James Altucher is a f'ing idiot on parade," someone wrote on a message board the other day.
I don't really like parades. But it got me to wonder about the psychology of people who take valuable time out of their day to write things like that. Not just about me but about anyone.
In general people get angry at me because I say in various ways that the world is not falling apart. That we're not all going to die at the hands of some obscure European debt crisis or whatever the latest crisis of the week is in the media.
(this must be me at the parade)
Many people feel very strongly against some of my opinions. One woman wrote an article "James Altucher is an idiot" and then when she was getting zero views she emailed me the article so she'd have at least one view. To guarantee one view you can email me an article titled "James Altucher is an idiot" and I am sure to read it at the very least out of curiosity.
Other people replied on various message boards about what a F****ng loser I was, etc etc.
They seem to care more about my opinions than I do.
If my daughter comes to me and says, "I'm sad because I'd like to have more friends" then I would care about that. If my wife were sick I'd care about that. If I was sick I would VERY much care about that. I'm selfish. I'd care about my own sickness more than I'd care about my daughter's ability to make friends. I also care if I am writing interesting things. Or if I'm reading books that will make me a better writer. Of if I'm winning more at chess now that I'm taking chess lessons. I care about these things. If people write to me and ask for advice, I care a lot about the advice I give. But about the rest of the world, I don't care at all. How big can one head be?
Why do I sometimes care about the stock market?
First off, I can't put this more bluntly: I've been ass-fucked repeatedly by the stock market for the past 15 years.
I've written before 10 reasons you shouldn't buy stocks (even though I am very bullish on it). Nobody should. I give ten reasons but the main reason is: you buy a stock, then the media has people all over the place saying, "the end of the world is here so you better get out of stocks", then everyone sells stocks, then the stock market goes straight up. Why does the media do that? The obvious reasons: fear and greed sell papers.
I've seen this happen every time, the exact same pattern: summer 1997, summer 1998, summer 1999, 2000-2002, summer 2004, summer 2005, late 2008/early 2009, summer 2010, and now summer 2011. Oh! I almost forgot: summer 1995 ("irrational exuberance"). But I wasn't in the stock market then so I didn't care.
October 1987 also. The market collapsed, everyone thought the world was over. FOOLED YOU! The market went straight up for years after the big crash.
But if I try to remind people of this simple pattern that happens over and over again, a lot of people get angry. I'm not upset at them. I don't blame anyone for being angry at me. But I can tell you exactly why they were angry.
Here's why:
- – Their fathers or mothers didn't love them.
- – Other kids beat on them
- – Girls (or guys) didn't like them or called them names.
- – Their friends backstabbed them.
So now they want to do the same to other people. So rather than working at their jobs they go from article to article and whatever message boards they can, then anonymously spew their hate.
Many of these people would like to kill themselves. I hate to say it but it's true. I feel bad for them. How do I know they would like to kill themselves? How can I possibly be so psychic as to know this, particularly since in most cases they are anonymous so I don't even know what sex, age, race, religion, location, they are.
I know this because they want the world to end. They keep blaming their problems on how bad the world is. How the world is falling apart. How we "borrowed too much" or how "the United States is going to fail" or how "Europe is going to take us down" or how "China is going to take over the world". It's an easy excuse so they don't have to blame themselves on their own failures. They can blame me instead because I don't think "China is going to take over the world".
Two responses:
A) It's Your Fault – blame yourself before others.
B) Most Things In Life Don't Work Out – which is fine. That's all of life.
I also could care less if the US borrowed too much. They can easily solve the problem: [Skip this if too boring. I'm bored already writing it].
- A) The US can forgive the $1.6 trillion in debt they have with THEMSELVES
- B) They can stop the four or five ongoing wars they have everywhere
- C) They can sell everything they own. Sell all the highways, the Universities, sell Washington DC (why do we even need a Department of Education if Education has gone straight down since that Department was created. Why do we need a legislative branch?)
- D) There's six million private businesses. After you do A-C above, you'll have money to incentivize every business to hire at least one more person. That would get us down to 3% unemployment, generate more revenues in taxes, etc.
There. Problem solved. The US is saved! Yay! Now onto the important part of the article.
The stock market is a window into the world's depression. The world is manic-depressive. Right now, and maybe for the past decade, the world has been in the depressive cycle. The Internet bust, 9/11, Enron corruption, the financial crisis, the housing crisis, Europe crisis, unemployment. I get it. It's been a hard decade. It's been a hard decade for me also. Before that it was in the manic cycle.
Animals ebb and flow with the world's cycles. Humans rise above it and create their own cycles. I don't know if I'm a human or an animal (I know, humans are a subset of animals, but I'm making a point). I'm a little bit of both. I hate to see the world depressed so I try to do things (go on TV, write articles, whatever) to convince people the world is not over. But it's pretty pointless. People believe what they will because of that severe beating they had when they were nine that they could never shake themselves from.
How to be Human?
– Step 1 is easy. Ignore the news. The media is for animals.
– Don't watch the day to the day of the stock market. You don't have to be depressed when the world is depressed.
– Do the Daily Practice. It's the only way I've ever been able to rise above animal and be human. I've lied, cheated, stolen, and killed and finally it all stopped when I decided to focus on my insides instead of the outside. That's how you train your body and mind to get over the beatings as a kid, the humiliation you've suffered, the lack of love you might've had to deal with. In my opinion (take it for what it's worth), it's the only way.
– Don't engage with crappy people. The woman who emailed me her fabulous article: "James Altucher is an Idiot" – I actually responded to her email. I didn't even follow my own advice. Then, finally, I stopped responding to her on her four responses to me. It's hard to follow good advice. If everyone followed good advice we'd all be superheroes and be flying around and using our x-ray vision to see naked people everywhere. I wish I followed my own advice every day. But it's hard. Sometimes you have to modify it to fit your own needs and circumstances. Sometimes you have to modify every day.
– Be creative every day. You can use these tips. Creativity connects more and more of the neurons in your brain to each other. Neurons that animals never connect up. If you are too busy with work, child raising, business-starting, etc don't use that as an excuse. You can be creative in little, tiny ways. Make your kids laugh. Do something the exact opposite of what you would normally do at work. Try standing on your head at the busstop. Whatever.
– The last three items are the most important. If you do those then the first two come naturally. If the above three items are too hard then modify them to suit your own purposes. For instance, if you can't meditate every day (I can't) then at least when you wake up say to the sky "what the hell do you want me to do today? I'm yours!" In other words, be gentle, humble, and surrender.
Don't be an animal anymore. Planet of the Apes isn't coming true. Be nice to other people. Become a human.

Thank you so much for this article. It's been hard to avoid being freaked out by the grim economic and social unrest new feeds these last few years. I want desperately to see some light at the end of the tunnel … mainly for my 2 children … so that they can grow up with parents who are optimistic and creative … rather than depressed fatalists. The yoga, and all the super nice, always cheerful yoga instructors at our shala, help A LOT! Its encouraging when someone with your expertise can express such an optimistic outlook on navigating the economic/political/media influences that bombard us. Namaste!
James Alutcher is a BRILLIANT idiot.
Spot on…and thank you for saving the world one day and word @ a time!
Sorry. Damn auto-correct.
Maybe I should I take it all back. The world is ending and being overrun by machines! LOL
My response when someone starts "did you see the <insert world ending financial/ political reference> ?" I kindly retort "nope, but the world is still turning"
James, Im really loving what you had to say here. I think you have tapped into so many elements to what people are trying to wrap their heads around when it comes to the things in our world that keep us in turmoil. Thanks for the clarity and thoughtful insights. Jeff
Thanks for another fantastic article. I enjoy reading your posts here and on your website. Keep up the good work!
you are pushing the Awesome Button for me!! It's kind of like the Easy Button, but better, because it's awesome.
thank you.
James Altucher is definitely not an idiot.
On an entirely unrelated subject, how do you pronounce your name?
Finally- a new James A post! I read your advise on dealing with crappy people every day for a week until I finally got it.
I've always been perplexed by all the anger people post. It always seemed rather silly to me.

Nice low budget museum with some really great exhibits. The working demo of a two row rotary engine is worth the visit alone. They also have some iconic aircraft from our wars and a good exhibit on Doolittle's raid on Japan. Look it up if you don't know what he did for us.
This was a great museum. We paid the extra $5 for my husband could tour the flying boat. He really liked that part. The rest of the museum is filled with little nooks of information.
This is a hidden gem adjacent to the savvy traveler's favourite airport, Oakland International. My favorite is the carefully restored and maintained BOAC flying boat. Some cool artifacts from historic Oakland airlines World Airways and Transamerica Airlines, too.
Great place to visit on the edge of this historic airport.
The staff are knowledgeable and very friendly.
Lots of interesting exhibits, even if you are not really a plane buff. Very good pieces on the ww2 black flyers and early women pilots.
We visited the Oakland Airport Museum. This is an excellent museum to learn about the role of Oakland in aviation history. There is a superb movie to watch (as one sits in a chair from an old airline). One hears about Amelia Earhart, woman aviation pioneer. There is a gallery on black aviation pioneers. There are airplane motor displays.
This is a quite rustic museum with old airplanes and info regarding the aircraft and role that Oakland airport played in the WWII. It is very interesting to those who have a genuine interest in old aircraft. Older children might be interested, but there is little to keep smaller children interested....more of an adult museum or a history buff.
For a small museum they have covered a lot of history. Expect to give yourself a good 3 hours to see everything inside, not to mention what is outside. Great place for any aviator that is also interested in history.
We were there Saturday Nov 22 2014.Tourist were coming in steady.I learnt a lot about Earheart,Dolittle and many other displays.You could sit and rest or keep moving.Any questions there were volunteers to answer them.Thank you.
Located near the car rental return at the Oakland airport, this is great way to blow an hour or more at the beginning or end of a trip. Highlights the history of the Oakland airport, plus a wide variety of exhibits with a military emphasis. Lots of model aircraft plus a reasonable number of real-live examples.
This is a small but well documented museum with friendly staff.
The seaplane : the Solent Flying boat is impressing ,first time I could visit such an aircraft and figure out how was air travel in he late 40's from London to Johannesburg in 4.5 days ...
At the entrance in a little kiosk you can listen to live air...

Guam has change for the worst
I have been here on Guam all my life, and true what others say about Guam. The crime rate is high, every store is expensive, the beaches are trashed, not everyone is friendly, drugs are the in thing on Guam, etc. My plan is to take my family and leave this island because it ain't what it use to be before things were simple and everyone was at peace with their neighbors and community. Now everything sucks I can't get a job because you would have to know someone to get a job, which sucks because if you apply for a job and they don't know you they will put your application a side which is unfair. I do not blame the visitors that come to Guam, actually their the ones that try to make Guam look beautiful, and I do not blame them for commenting about Guam being corrupt. I love Guam, but now I want to take my family out of Guam because there is really nothing here.Related to:

Massage Parlors
Massage Parlors in Guam are little more than fronts for prostitution heheheh. Yes they offer massages and the staff are trained to do a foot massage or a shiatsu massage or a thai massage or a whole body massage that costs from $ 30 to $ 80 and lasts for 30 minutes to 1 hour but they also offer "extra service" for tourists, mostly the japanese and korean menfolk. they don't have the famous "acquariums" found in south east asia where you can pick the masseuses at beyond an acquarium style glass but still they offer the "extra service" that willing tourists indulge.
they are open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week and offer room service to your hotel room. the masseuses are a blend of japanese, korean, chinese, chamorro, filipino and the occasional blondes. prices of "extra service" costs $ 80 to $ 200 depending on the service and the number of masseuse doing the service.
you can find them along the hotel row of Pale San Vitores Road besides the usual restaurants or shops or souvenir stands.Related to:

Pollution? out of 20 or 30 so beaches we might have 2 or 3 that R polluted,due to run off! but most R clean and safe to swim in.Expensive: aint to different than Hawaii,HongKong,tahiti,Califonia or any City that's known fro tourism.(unfriendly locals) So not true! hAve u ever bin to France? well then U realy dont know what Unfriendly folk R then! If u got a good Attitude and not act like U sumthing Special! U will find urself life long friend's.
DANGER: Guam is a modern day third world country!
I have lived in guam for a little over three years, and i will be the first to tell you DO NOT GO TO THIS ISLAND! STDs, crime (assaults, burglary, and DUIs just to name a few), and price gouging on this island are ridiculous. Lady boys and men girls run rampant here. Japanese tourist come here mainly to get married and just to have a little get away from the norm since the island is so close to japan, it is like someone from the states who lives in Louisiana going to Texas. If you are going to spend two thousand dollars plus on a plane ticket, there are much nicer places to go. The Chommoro peoples slogan is "Hafa dai" (possibly wrong spelling) which means hello. Taken into english context, half-a-day, because that is all that these people believe in working. The island consist of only one MAIN road with streets off to the side. Traffic is horrendous, and at any moment a traffic accident is likely to occur. If you want to drive when you are there, rent a car and GET IT INSURED! Hospitality is that of a reletive who doesnt really like you but lets you come over just because your family. The government here is very corrupt and is ran by three major families. The Aguons, Cruz, and Chamacho families have a hand in EVERYTHING that happens on that island. Groceries and import/export companies are owned by these families. There is always someone from these families seated in there government. which means, the laws that get passed are in the favor of there families. Before 2007, it was hard to find eating establishments that would even take debit/credit cards because their facilities were not set up for that. Speed limit everywhere on the island is a pathetic 35Mph. Even with the speed limit siiting as low as it is, traffic jams still occur on the daily. If you have to move there for long term stayings, i feel for you. Please try to stay away from GTA and MCV. Both of these companies will rip you off with anything you get. I was paying 59.99 for 2.2Mbs in guam. I assumed it was the normal price. I recently moved back to the states and i am only paying 29.99 for 7.9Mbs service. If this is understandable, can someone explain it to me cause i am having a hard time understanding. Taxi cabs too are a major rip off to the people who are not there on vacation. If you want to travel the length of the island which is 16 miles, expect to pay one hundted dollars plus and to cap it off, more than an hour taxi ride because of the 35Mph speed limit.
On a new note, there is something that is due to these people. THEY CAN COOK! Red rice with fenedne is unbelievable. When you eat it, it taste like an explsion of light in your mouth... Any questions, please feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com to:

Thieves, price gouging, and corruption
I've chosen to make my home on Guam for personal reasons, but this is the worst place I've ever lived. I've been to many islands, and most island people are welcoming, friendly, and charming. This place is almost hostile. No concept of hospitality, and the worst waiters and service people I've ever encountered in my life. Try taking care of business at the department of revenue and taxation - you may need a drink or a shoulder to cry on afterward.
Everything costs double, not just because goods have to be imported, but because local business have monopolies on certain industries and charge as much as they can. When first apartment hunting, I was shown $1,500-$2,000 per month apartments so run-down and nasty that I've seen better section 8 housing stateside. This is because all property owners automatically set their base rents at military housing allowance, which is a ridiculously high $1,700. Try renting a decent (one that isn't filthy and will not get broken into) apartment on a regular salary - yeah, not gonna happen. Oh, and if you like air-conditioning (who doesn't when it's 90 degrees outside 90% of the year?), prepare to pay $400 or more per month for a single family home.
I've lived in big, major metropolitan areas, cities people associate with crime. I had never been robbed - until I got to Guam. I was robbed on Guam twice in two years. And when I say robbed, I mean "inside jobs." Staff at the hotel and apartment where I stayed had access to my rooms (duh, they're staff). One day, after a short stay off island, I came home to find everything gone - even my freaking tennis shoes. When the cops came, I pointed out empty beer cans that weren't mine (yeah, the thieves made themselves right at home). Perhaps they should take them for prints....they LAUGHED. The police LAUGHED AT ME because GUAM HAS NO FINGERPRINT DATABASE OR FORENSIC LAB OF ANY KIND.
People still abuse/ignore stray animals and enjoy cock-fighting here. The island's only pound is disgusting and in disrepair (have you been to the SPCA on Oahu? It's like a hotel). Guam's situation with animals is 40 years or more behind most developed nations.
If you get sick on Guam, you are screwed. Basically, if you go into Guam Memorial Hospital for an emergency, chances are you won't come out alive. The GMH emergency room entrance looks like a triage unit for an army doing ground warfare in the middle east. The parking lot is packed 24/7 (when I say "packed" I mean, cars have to park all the way down the street and into a residential area). Why? Because people who have no money or insurance use it as a clinic - because they know they can't be turned away. That's right - they just don't give a damn. They don't care that people with real emergencies may suffer because they caught a cold and don't want to pay for the treatment. Oh, did I mention the hospital is not approved by stateside medical organizations? And that some of its former directors have been accused/convicted of theft and selling prescriptions?
And based on news of late, it looks like our next governor will either be a nepotistic thief of a murdering thief. No, I am not speaking in metaphors - the locals will know what I'm talking about.
Most locals will start getting a rope ready to hang you if you spoke of any of this (elephant in living room stuff) in public. It's because most have never lived any where else for an extend period of time, although more Chamorros live off island than on island (gee I wonder why). And they're really sensitive. Anyway, I'm here to stay, for a while anyway. And I smile and welcome everyone and try to be good island representative and try to pretend like this place isn't going to hell in a hand-basket.
Advice: Shop at Cost-u-less; Other grocery stores, especially Payless, charge double or triple cost-u-less. Kmart may be the only place you can find what you need, but it's not like stateside k-marts - they are (I can't believe I'm saying this about Kmart) EXPENSIVE. They take advantage of us because they're the only place. If you have access to the stores on base, go. Get an ebay account if you don't already have one. Use it, love it, and never let it go. I saw something at Micropac (electronics store that RAPES its customers because they are sole distributor for certain popular electronics products) selling for $400 that I got on ebay for $75!!!!!! THE SAME DAMN THING - only mine was a NEWER MODEL!!!! If people here think they can separate you from your money, they will. You must demand lower prices everywhere you go - including the power authority, phone companies, cell phone companies, etc. Don't be ashamed. The service is so damn bad, we should get discounts for that alone!
Guam is GodAwful
Hi After spending six months on Guam I learned a lot. First of all, behind the facades of the beautiful hotels hygiene is terrible. I saw the feast displayed on buffets for Sunday brunch from behind the scenes, cooked food was placed on the floors in the halls for servers to pick up to place on trays, dishes are wiped clean with dirty rags because the water pressure is low. So beware of where and what you eat.
Guam is populated by very poor people, this is a slum island most people have slum or ghetto mentalities but if you are not from their culture you won't recognize it until you realize your girlfriend steals ashtrays from peoples houses and will eventually teach your children that stealing is ok. Girls from the slums make men feel great and the islanders have no respect for marriage. They see a man from The Mainland through eyes with dollar bills signs ringing up their best financial opportunity.
The architecture is 60's slums, the hotels are pretty but it is true that one or two were not earthquake or typhoon proof. Standard of living is so low that lower middle class homes look really good on Guam. Not many good shops if you want anything other than perfume or designer scarves.
The police on Guam are notorious for being very brutal. Excessive force is common. Divorces on Guam will favor locals so if you and your spouse want a divorce don't divorce on Guam, the adulterer usually has a local squeeze and the judge favors the party with a local adulterer.
Forget law, I attempted to withdraw money from a joint bank account before my divorce on Guam and the bank refused to release the money. Women on Guam are very jealous and devious.
Health care on Guam is quite poor, if you are very sick leave the island to be seen in a hospital at Hawaii or St. Lukes in Manila or go to Tokyo.
Military Wives on Guam live in misery, mucho gossip, no privacy, dog pile politics, dirty laundry, crime on base, few activities available and it is a long way home.
The schools on Guam are inferior to any in any part of the world, so are the teachers and the principals. Jobs are awarded to relatives of the politicians and for those who make large campaign contributions.
There are few friendly people on Guam.
Transmitting STD's seems to be the local sport. I was lucky to get away from my spouse before
I contracted the health problems his girlfriend gave h im. Another big trick is for women to get pregnant on Guam then get married or to conceal children they had when they were teenagers from a future spouse.
The beaches are polluted. Raw seage is dumped into the beach area from hotels, the roads aren't banked, there are frequent power outages, tap water from the fawcet might not ever be more than a trickle, don't drink it, garbage pick up is usually non existent and there are many burglaries.
Culture is non existent on Guam, there are not any museums, the Chamorro culture on Guam is not Chamorro, the most authentic Chamorro culture are on Saipan on Rota. There are no theaters, no concerts, no art galleries, no good newspapers (free speech is limited by publishers who have other priorities), the beaches are seriously and dangerously polluted, single women are not safe, single men will be approached by very available partners (at least in Amersterdam they are tested). Children will have no educational stimulation or activities.
Guam is Great for Loosers who can't make it in the Mainland USA.
It is better to visit SaipanRelated to:

Chamorro are pussies. Guam is ***. Avoid the fags
DANGER!!! Guam is a place for cheap ass holes that think they are saving their family a little money for a bunch of Chamorro that do not appreciate ***, hell they smell like ***. They are rude and think they are better than "actual" Americans. I lived there for a couple of year and they would wine like little pussy babies about how they wanted America to leave. I would tell them all the time they would get over run by Japan or something and they would get angry and try fighting. I would have to beat their asses and the wining would start back. Trust me. Avoid Guam at all cost.
Guam is a horrible place
Guam is a third world ghetto. I have NOT found the locals to be the least bit nice to non-islanders. This island is about 15-20 years behind any modern country. There is graffiti, abandoned cars, abandoned buildings and trash almost everywhere you go. If you are coming here for two weeks to stay on the "strip"( where the hotels are) then you might enjoy yourself if you enjoy shopping at high end stores and staying on the beach the entire time.(Caution for the beaches-they are, for the most part, polluted.) I would highly recommend Bali or Bora Bora over this place any day.
Caution to those of you who are thinking about moving here or PCSing here, this place is a NIGHTMARE! keep in mind its 15+ years behind modern times....Anyone who has very positive reviews has either stayed here for less than two weeks, came to Guam from a less fortunate country, or enjoys the lazy, "laid back", I don't care attitude of the locals.
Not all of the locals are this way... just 95% of them......Related to:

Storm drain water
I don't think this isn't a problem on almost any island that has a good sized population. Common sense say's that if there is a river or drainage area close to where you are swimming, be advised with stong rains, there is potential for polluted runoff from cars and the streets.
Not a big problem, but something to be aware off.Related to:

Do not take nature home with you!
The inner tidal zones and reefs of Guam are protected especially at Asan Beach.
1. Do not take any aquatic animals (To include FISH, shellfish, starfish or even coral)
2. Any type of fishing, shell collecting or even the romoval of sand and rock is prohibited.
beware sea life and geckos
I have actually witnessed people jumping into the ocean in relatively shallow waters and landing on sea urchins... watch out for these also... sea cucumbers will spit there guts out and if it gets onto your "gear" or self... what a gooey mess to deal with!
Gecko's are every where!!! Granted not in the ocean, they ARE everywhere else, it seems!They will drop for doorways, etc... just deal with it... along with the jungle mosquitos.
False Review about Guam!!!
am a native of Manhattan and have found Guam to be one of the coolest places I've visited. I've gone to many places, but have not found a culture as hospitable. Please keep in mind that Guam has been inhabited by alot of outsiders. I know if you met the true Guamanians, you would love them.
As for the person who wrote up the most negative and insulting review I have ever read...SHAME ON YOU!
You talk about taxpayers wasting their money on Guam, but did you know their land was taken away from them just so our military can have a venue for war games and refueling. Yes, Guam has played a major role in your safety.
Stop insulting a place you know nothing about. You sound like a bigot.
Avoid Guam ! GUAM SUCKS !
DANGER ! Guam Sucks ! Guam is the worst place to visit. The pictures of Guam look pretty, but Guam is really a third world ghetto! The beaches are polluted with sewage ! The local sewage treatment plant is badly neglected. The raw sewage flows right into the water and down to the tourist beaches. Sometimes you can even smell it and see the toilet paper in the water.
The locals hate the tourists and will do anything they can get away with. There are plenty of beatings, robberies and rapes on the tourists. The whole economy is geared towards fleecing the tourists. The obvious hate that the locals have poisons every human interaction with them.
If you come to Guam, you will feel it too. The locals consider the abuse on the tourists as a joke, and something to brag about. You will sit in a restaurant and wait and wait and wonder if the rude waitress is doing something really bad to your food. As you groan on the dirty toilet in your overpriced hotel room, you will know that she did do something bad to your food ! Don't go to the hospital, it is the worst place to go, you are sure to die there ! The word nightlife really means strip clubs, which are also whorehouses. There is very little to do at night except strip clubs, and you better go with a buddy. AIDS and all other diseases are very common here. Most local people refuse to get tested, and don't get treatment, it's a denial thing. The Guam government is very corrupt and the American taxpayer's money is going into some politician's pocket. Very little of the money is actually spent on it's intended purpose. The local schools are a nightmare. The police force is very corrupt. Drug use is common even among the police and school bus drivers. The locals appear friendly, but that is so they can take advantage of you!
I have lived in Guam in the local community for three years. I know many of the locals and interact with them daily. I beg you to please take my advice and visit someplace better. I can honestly say that my life on Guam has been pure HELL !Related to:

Myth of Guam's Brown Tree Snakes
Though there are brown tree snakes on the island, they are afraid of you as much as we are afraid of them. Unless you are out and about boonie stomping at night and sticking your hand under logs, you probably won't run into one. They will leave their lair if it gets wet and cold looking for a warm dry spot. No, they are not crawling all over the place, which a friend's wife was told to believe, and because of her fear, she never came to see her husband here. Even local residents don't see them as often as the media or documentaries seem to portray.
If you hear about snakes crawling in peoples homes it is because most of the ones reported are homes built in jungle or boonie type locations that are not developed residential areas. These homes are wooden and tin structures that are not necessarily sealed properly.
Bottomline, there are all kinds of snakes in the southeastern United States, but they are not readily or easily visible daily. It is no different in Guam.

I read this trashy book before moving to Guam, it's crude but after living here awhile I found out that its pretty accurate. amazon.com/Gallivanting-Guam...
I'm amazed on how loathsome and disparaging are the comments on this site. I'm not disputing all negative comments made about Guam, just the ones that are seriously, down-right ***in' ridiculous. Even a simple-minded twit would at least do some research before traveling to a new place; and I would like to think that a simple-minded twit wouldn't bad mouth an entire group of people from a few bad experiences. A lot of these nasty comments can be said about places, or should say considered FACT about places all over the world including the "wonderful" United States. It's also so ***in' ironic how majority of the comments posted about Guam reference that the 'locals are uneducated'---vast majority of the statements on here are so completely ignorant, it's a clear display of the intelligence level of those that are spouting them. If you're accustomed to metropolitan areas, road-trips, high-end amusement parks, the changing of the seasons, shopping at mainstream department stores, driving over 50 mph, that yield-on-green-then-go-when-safe-to-do-so type ***----Guam is not for you. Every single negative, insulting comment I've read on here, I can state with a FACT that I have experienced at least numerous times in the different places I've traveled to in the states, from South Carolina to Georgia, Missouri, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona and California---YES, I visited these places. I spent most of my time stateside in Texas and traveled all over the state. However, I wasn't an idiot and decided that I didn't like Houston because I thought it to be more horrendous than San Antonio or Abilene. Speaking from my own experience, being born and raised on the island, Guam has the lowest crime rate for a tiny island that is so densely populated. Seeking employment is challenging because the job market is much more competitive in a place that is land locked (think about it). The Chamorro people have a lot of pride and know when they are being looked down upon or when some stupid 'state-sider' is making some nasty judgments about their island because it isn't up to par with their 'standards'. Just because Guam is a U.S territory and the locals speak English, don't treat it, view it or EXPECT it to be like any other suburb of the United States. The Chamorros are not the uneducated-idiots you think they are; they know an *** when they see one and will treat he or she accordingly.
Be smart. Anyone can write a comment. Don't believe everything you read online. Many of the warnings and negative comments here are things that apply anywhere in the world. Also, it is never accurate or fair to use blanket statements about any place or group of people. Anyone who has matured emotionally past adolescence knows this. I've lived in Texas, California, S. Korea, Japan, Philippines, and Guam and it's the same everywhere. There are jerks everywhere. There is crime everywhere. Do your research before you go anywhere and learn how to be safe.
Okay, because everyone is SO damn perfect that they get to talk *** about Guam. Guam is different from your "state side" life. That's why people go here. There are numerous, beautiful beaches you can go to that are only a few minutes away. Yes, everything is costly and the islanders suffer from that. But they manage just fine and work hard. People focus on the unemployed, but no one cares to mention the hard working people that break their backs daily to make a living. It's a small island. Everyone knows everyone and they're all family. The people of Guam are very hospitable if you give them a chance. If that wasn't your experience, then you probably had it coming. The Chamorro culture is based primarily on respect. They get very defensive when it comes to outsiders looking down on them, thinking they're better than everybody. And big deal, some douche bag Magellan guy who disturbed Guam's peace and named it "The Island of Thieves." That was almost 500 years ago. You will find thieves everywhere. People make it sound as if you can't walk out your door step without something getting stolen. Guam is such a small, tight-knit island that murders are rare and the crime rate is low. The point is, every place has pros and cons. If you focus on the negativity like an arrogant, pessimistic ***, then you obviously won't have a good time. But if you surround yourself with wonderful people in a great place, Guam will be a paradise.
The truth about Guam. I think that both the positive and negative really need to be explored when talking about Guam. First, come prepared and know what you're getting yourself into... that means either knowing someone here or finding a way to get the locals to like you, I did the second.
So let's talk about the seedy side of Guam, yes, it's hugely corrupt and you're an outsider, so you'll get screwed just for that reason alone. I have had to pay double for stuff like towing (after getting run over by one of Guam's notoriously bad drivers). The locals do think that you owe them respect, that you should be deferential to them, and are extremely proud of their culture. That said, a little deference goes a LONG, LONG way. Once you have established yourself as not being the typical "Haole", the people here will go out of their way to help you avoid much of the non-sense that others are forced to deal with, and that others report below. Yes, there is a lot of things that are less than optimal about Guam, Dept of Taxation (aka DMV), the social security office, and the local police registration section are among some of the places that are a PITA to deal with. Yes, Guam is full of overweight, undereducated, and unproductive people and enjoys an unemployment rate of 14%. It sometimes seems like the whole population is on public assistance at times, but if you look a little harder you'll find that there are beautiful women (who are not strippers) that are educated, physically attractive, and employed.
Sounds pretty horrible, and it would be, if it were not for the actual beauty of Guam and the way you get treated once you get past the bravo and BS. Guam is gorgeous, my back yard is a beautiful view of Pago Bay, I live in a gorgeous house (for $2200 per month), and my commute to work is a predictable 10 mins every day. This was by design, and I was quite deliberate in finding something off the beaten path. My power, internet, cell phone, and water have been generally reliable. It's a modern take on 3rd world living to be sure, but, I live in a great area near needed resources and away from most problems associated with living in more populated areas. It's 80F every single day. Swimming in the ocean at Gab Gab is like swimming in someone's aquarium, just unbelievable.
I have no dog in the fight here about Guam, but I have found a way to make it fun. You can stay relatively safe, secure, comfortable, and not constantly taken advantage of in Guam. I have been in Guam now for 8 months, and it's been pretty good to me. Invest the time in making it work for you, and it can, if you expect it to be like your home town you'll be disappointed, if you expect it to be completely different and approach it as a foreign country you'll do far better.

Promoting links with other cultures
Different cultures (minority groups or other countries) can contribute to enrich the tourist offer.
Examples of implementation
Carlingford (Ireland – 2008)
Events such as the Irish American festival, the Intercultural festival, which promotes new ethnic minority communities, and the Round the World theme, which promotes international food in local restaurants.
Echternach (Luxembourg - 2008)
The Portuguese local community organises the annual "Portugal en fete" festival.
