Win + R is on there twice, I don't want to mess with the chart basically because I'm certain I will mess it up. For someone who does know what they're dong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 21:19, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
I created this page as it presents a better layout and comparison between different desktop environments than List of common keyboard shortcuts. Most of it is adapted from the spreadsheet at http://people.mandriva.com/~fcrozat/shortcuts/shortcuts2.gnumeric.
- I think having the two separate pages is suboptimal, for the usual reasons. I think we should pick a presentation format and use it. I prefer the format of Table of keyboard shortcuts page. What do others think? --DragonHawk 01:24, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
"Moves keyboard focus to next/previous control"[edit]
So in web browsers this would be, move the cursor focus to the next form field/link, right? Well Tab/Shift+Tab (forward/back) do this in Windows, but not in GNOME as specified. I have no idea how to tab backwards in GNOME, it's driving me insane. 22.214.171.124 04:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Shift+Tab has worked in GNOME for many years now. Perhaps it didn't back in 2006 for this person, though… — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 16:59, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
Possible shortcuts[edit]
I recently discovered that Alt+Esc on WinXP sends the current window to the back (thus effectively cyclicly switching to the next window.) Should this be added to the table?--EnderA 07:47, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Shift-Del was removed by Tytrox as an alternative to ctrl+x
'(shift+del permanently deletes the file from memory bypassing recycle bin (on here it was listed as an alternative to ctrl+x "cut file to memory")'
while this is true for deleting files in windows, the action for this key states "Cut the selected area and store it in the clipboard"; it works the same as ctrl-x when editing text, images etc..
I have re-added Shift-Del, a small note/warning about files could be added, although i don't see this as dangerous since Windows will ask confirmation anyway before performing this action Skullers 17:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
"the action for this key states "Cut the selected area and store it in the clipboard"; it works the same as ctrl-x when editing text, images etc.." show me where on Windows that this is so, specifically where it states the description of the action. Tytrox 14:53, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
sry i meant that it's only different in the case of files, while the description in the table on this page says area, which is correct (in most cases same as ctrl-x). Skullers 04:31, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Table of Microsoft Office keyboard Shortcuts for BOTH windows and Mac! Don't forget laptop derrivations![edit]
this would be useful. Don't forget Fn key for macbook pros. Thanks.
Fn +F6 changes between slide, notes, and outline in powerpoint. what is it to get to full screen in powerpoint on a mac? in windows it is F5 i think. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 03:35, 6 April 2007 (UTC).
"symbol shortcuts"[edit]
The section about "symbol shortcuts" is confusing. It does not mention what OS it works with, and it is badly written. Unless someone improves it, I will remove it. Claesh1
- I have now removed the symbols shortcuts section Claesh1
Request for shortcuts for text-editing[edit]
would like to request someone add a table of shortcuts for text editing. For examp, in Mac applications (OS X, Cocoa API) that support text editing, usually support the minimal set of emacs conventions. e.g. Ctrl-f to move forward. Besides these set, Mac support some standard itself. e.g. opt-arrow to jump by word. opt-shift-arrow to jump by word while selecting. Xah Lee 10:56, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
The F10 key in Mac OS X gives keyboard focus to the menu bar where you can arrow around to the menus. I'd add it to the table but wtf that markup is unreadable —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 20:57, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
No References[edit]
I apreciate that under the "See Also" Section, there is a list of some websites containing keyboard shortcuts, but I feel that references should be added to the article to verify that the shortcuts listed are correct, as I'm sure many people who read the article won't know if the data is correct.
The only problem that I can see with doing this is that pages would probably have to be found that list more than one keyboard shortcut, otherwise the reference section may become longer than the article itself! However I'm sure that this would be feasible to overcome if someone had the time and patience to find some good references.
On another minor note the "See Also" section contains external links, often in Wikipedia articles these are listed under "External Links", not "See Also".
Unless someone objects I feel that the above changes should be made. --Dave (talk) 23:06, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
- I added some references (& removed a verification for being false) & put a good deal of good lists of shortcuts for Gnome & browsers for Linux. I hope that helps some. If anybody uses X or Windows, then I would suggest that the browsers' pages for shorcuts be found and added by that person. Gatmaster (talk) 02:06, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Ctrl + Backspace / Ctrl + Del[edit]
They delete whole words (or, more precisely, until the next word beginning to the left/right) under WinXP, maybe elsewhere, too? Unfortunately it is not consistently available across applications/text field types; but in most/the important ones. Though it is not all generally available, I suggest adding it, as it is a total killer feature to me - I use it all the time (Ctrl + Backspace).
At least in one application, Ctrl+Del deletes not only until the next word beginning to the right, but until the end of the line. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EdiTor (talk • contribs) 21:05, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Warning header[edit]
This page is marked with a warning header "This article or section contains instructions, advice, or how-to content. The purpose of Wikipedia is to present facts, not to teach subject matter...." I recommend that this warning header should be removed.
The article presents facts, and in a pretty cut-and-dry format. The facts in this case are that certain keyboard combinations on certain systems produce certain behaviors. The table layout is, in this perspective, simply an (attempt at) an exhaustive list of examples.
Nowhere does it explicitly instruct people how to use keyboard shortcuts. Some how-to instruction is of course implicit in the subject matter, but so would it be in a discussion of Library of Congress subject headings, for example. And when you parse the disclaimer, presenting facts IS a form of teaching subject matter. But this isn't a step-by-step, it doesn't extort the values of keyboard shortcuts, it doesn't recommend their use -- it just lists keyboard shortcuts.
I came here looking for facts, and found them. The fact I searched for was "which keyboard combination on a certain system results in a particular behavior?" I found it here.
Remove the banner, and let this article stand as is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 01:29, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
- | I disagree. The page contains operating system documentation. Also OSs are changing so fast, i tried a few of the mac os ones and half of them didn't work. I suggest to bring the header back in. Kritzikratzi (talk) 19:17, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
OS vs application[edit]
Is it true that *all* text editors and web browsers under the various operating systems use the same shortcut keys? The shortcut keys for text editing and formatting and web browsers would seem to me to be more application-specific, or at least I'd expect notes saying "well, firefox uses this shortcut, while IE uses this other one" or "OpenOffice uses this shortcut, while MSOffice uses this other one". Does anyone have insight about this? Petronivs (talk) 16:00, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Split article by OS[edit]
I don't really see the point of explaining the function of certain keys in DIFFERENT operating systems. No one but an obsessive wants to know what the ALT key does across different OS. People want to know what they can do with the keys in THEIR OS. So, if there was ever a good reason to split an article, here is one. Keyboard shortcuts for Windows is what I'm interested in. I don't care what Mac users do. They don't care what I do. What do you think? Myles325a (talk) 14:13, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
And Ctrl+Alt+Left And Ctrl+Alt+Right And to set it to normal Ctrl+Alt+Up —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 17:21, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is one of the most commonly used shortcuts for Linux -- it restarts the window manager. For those of you who aren't that used to it, it's like a reset button, except that it doesn't touch the (usually still stable) lower level system. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 22:06, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Ctrl+Alt+^ or v or > or ,< changes the screen orientation. on Windows XP, for desktop, it doesn't work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 22:56, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
In newer releases of Ubuntu/Ubuntu derivatives (not sure with other distros), Alt-PrintScn-K is used instead, although Ctrl-Alt-Backspace can be configured to have the same function.Dalcde (talk) 01:18, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
"User Interface Shortcuts"[edit]
I wouldn't include that section at all. 'Compiz' has nothing to do with it. That only switches UIs by configuration. ctl-alt-f1 through ctl-alt f8 by default change between 8 virtual consoles. 1-6 are empty, 7 is the default GUI, and 8 is the startup log. At least, by default, on Ubuntu. I would say that if someone needs the capability, they both won't look here, and will know far more about it than this says.

Question re: comparisons[edit]
I guess I might be the odd person out here, but I STILL don't understand the rationale for having comparisons BETWEEN the OS's. What could a reader possibly gain from this? One OS has Del/Backspace, another uses Shift/Space. So what the heck, hey? Any reader of this wants to know what to use in his / her OWN OS, and what the programmer chose in the other OSs is completely irrelevant. It would be a good idea to have separate articles on ALL the shortcuts, with a page on EACH OS. That would make it a lot easier on everyone, and we would lose nothing at all, as any comparison between OS's is completely otiose. What say you? Myles325a (talk) 04:24, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, original creator of this article speaking here. I think there are very good reasons to list similar actions in different operating systems side-by-side. Many people are using more than one OS, such as one at work and another at home. The current disposition will make it easier to get learn and get to know differences. Also, if they were separate articles, they would take different directions and not be as useful. Claesh1 (talk)
- There's already been a request to delete this article because it's too close to being an instruction manual. Having a comparison between the OSs moves it closer to not being an instruction manual. However the article is still looking very much like instructions, what it needs is an expanded discussion of the subject. I still tend to think that it should be transwikied, but I'm not going to reopen that course of action since that's already occurred. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 00:26, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
Move window to left/right/up/down workspace on Ubuntu 9.10[edit]
On my Ubuntu 9.10 the standard shortcuts for "Move window to left/right/up/down workspace" are "Shift+Ctrl+Alt+left-/right-/up-/down-arrow" rather than just "Shift+Alt+left-/..."
Does not work for windows 7 since Command + # pulls up a program. Kthx update please.--188.8.131.52 (talk) 15:27, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Gnome search function commented-out? (Activities Overview confusion?)[edit]
Why is this commented-out on the "Search Dialog" row of the first table? Was someone confused about how this works? Of course, it's not a dialog box…
Perhaps there is some reason for not listing it?
In Gnome, pressing the Activity key (Windows logo / Super / whatever) brings up the Activities Overview, which shows all open windows on the current (virtual) desktop; the Dash (analogous to the Windows Taskbar or the Apple Dock); the Notification area; and also puts the cursor into the Search box. The Search box searches for installed applications, documents/files, contacts, and so forth.
So, yes, that one key (or mouse-corner-bump) does an awful lot of things, but "searching for files, programs, and people" is probably the main one.

Shift+F3 on Windows XP[edit]
The upper/lower case shortcut under [1] does not work on Windows XP to change upper/lower case. I was hoping there was a shortcut for this to save me some time in something that I'm working on but this turned out to not work. Hopefully someone can get this clarified within the article so others aren't disappointed. Zeroality (talk) 10:43, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
- Didn't work for me either (Vista) - discovered however, that it works just fine if you're in MS Office 2007. May be true of other versions as well?

Alternative non Table Display[edit]
I notice there has been some discussion already about display format. And as a general subject maybe this is the wrong place to start such a discussion, however I will continue with a quick comment, and may try to read up more about this at some later date.
Some of the table does not display optimally on my set-up, with for instance table content overlapping into other columns. I doubt any such long multiple table page could be designed for optimal display in all circumstances.
Is there an alternative simple text display also available ? ( and if so, or if such is considered, how would any edits be synchronised between the versions, if it were manually that creates a lot of work and a lot of room for errors)
I realise of course that a lot of this depends on a users equipment. I am using Windows XP on a low resolution small screen and viewing with FireFox. Even if myself or someone modified a page, a table, or a row/column to display ok in my system many others would then complain it does not display on: a small screen pda, a phone or whatever; whereas other users may then complain tables are now wasting valuable screen space by being necessarily low resolution.
No doubt some knowledgeable user will be able to point to other links where this subject is discussed, or even a topic above that I failed to read whilst making this hasty comment.
Thanks to all who have already contributed.

KDE, GNOME, emacs[edit]
What is your opinion on the inclusion of columns for KDE, GNOME, and emacs? I am of the opinion that the comparison table is getting a bit cluttered. What are your thoughts? Can/should one of these columns be removed?
Kind regards, PolarYukon (talk) 08:44, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
- If Windows and OS X are there, I see no reason for KDE and GNOME not to be. The presence of emacs slightly concerns me, being reminded of an old joke that it's so feature rich it's practically an "operating system". A subtle troll, perhaps? --Gnathan87 (talk) 08:33, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with Gnathan87 - KDE and GNOME should stay but emacs should go. It might also be possible to merge KDE and GNOME into one column as they are mostly quite similar, although the cells where they are different would have to indicate this so would become more cluttered. Starofale (talk) 17:30, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
- I merged KDE and GNOME for the tables where it made sense. (The window management tables were quite different so I left those unmerged.) If anyone wants to delete the emacs column, feel free ;-) --David-Sarah Hopwood ⚥ (talk) 23:21, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
- I believe that Emacs should stay since people configure their O.S. to support those styles of shortcuts. Removing KDE & Gnome would be retarded. From that perspective it makes since to me. Something might need to be done about the significant change from Gnome 2- to Gnome 3+. Should there be two separate columns further obfuscating which column is which, or should a separate article be made for previous versionings of plausibly all the O.S.? That would be a way in which only the current 5 styles of shortcuts would be included in this page. Gatmaster (talk) 23:27, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

POSIX Unix Shell[edit]
What exactly qualifies as a POSIX Unix Shell? Also, I have never heard of Esc+K and Esc+J to walk backward and forward through history.
PS Most shells have Ctrl+U to clear line or clear left of cursor.
Emacs but not vim?[edit]
I think it's a pretty questionable choice to include emacs, especially instead of vim. Look at the statistics from Debian's Popularity Contest to see why I think that:
If someone can show me some data that suggest emacs is more widely used than vim, I'll gladly let it go. However, I think including a text editor here is arbitrary anyway, since managing "windows" (meaning individual applications) in the traditional sense isn't an editor's job. It would make more sense to me to include a terminal multiplexor like screen or tmux as opposed to an editor. Attys (talk) 17:55, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
Bash uses GNU readline for line-editing.
Readline key bindings are taken from Emacs by default, but it is possible to use a different set of keybindings, ie vim[2]

On Windows I found a variation of Ctrl-v for paste useful: Ctrl-Shift-v inserts without format, useful for example from Word to Blog text. Whereas I don't understand your Ctrl-Alt-v as "Paste Special". Perhaps you know precisely what it does, and what Ctrl-Shift-v. ― Incidentally you might mention in a footnote to Ctrl-v why v was chosen for paste: It's the next character to c on the keyboard, and it happens to look like a pencilled V to insert missing text. — Fritz Jörn (talk) 07:08, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Close the focused window - shift alt f4 ?[edit]
Why is for "Close the focused window" for Windows listed shift-alt-f4, when the actual shortcut is alt-f4 for decades (since Windows 3.0 at least)? Also listed as such here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/126449 (and shift-alt-f4 is not mentioned) --Xerces8 (talk) 00:30, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Template:Key press[edit]
Recent edits have taken the article past the 2MB template argument expansion size limit (search for "templateargumentsize" in the HTML source to see that). A symptom is that there are many occurrences of "Template:Key press" in the article, that is, the template is not being expanded. That looks tricky to fix but I thought I'd mention it (and ping Vwanweb). One fix would be to write a module to replace the template, but I'm a bit busy for that, and a module may not be welcomed by all. By the way, a recent edit broke "program": search for "
pro<small>or</small>gram" in the wikitext. Johnuniq (talk) 04:36, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
- No fix in months - suggest splitting article to workaround:
- Table of keyboard shortcuts: General shortcuts
- Table of keyboard shortcuts: Text editing
- Table of keyboard shortcuts: Browsers
- Table of keyboard shortcuts: Window management
- Table of keyboard shortcuts: User interface navigation
- Table of keyboard shortcuts: Command line shortcuts
- Table of keyboard shortcuts: Accessibility
Widefox; talk 19:02, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
If you need to pare down the size, I suggest splitting the table by operating system. More user-friendly. I'm representing me and the other unsupersophisticated users. We want to see all of the codes at on the same page. I'm a Windows user. I don't care what the key combination is on Mac OS, etc. How about these splits instead?
- Table of keyboard shortcuts: Windows
- Table of keyboard shortcuts: Mac OS
- Table of keyboard shortcuts: KDE/Gnome
- Table of keyboard shortcuts: Emacs
- Table of keyboard shortcuts: Vim
As the table is today, there are many hyperlinks to "Template:Key press/code" that go nowhere meaningful. I looked at "Template:Key press" and that shows the symbols and I understand that. But I'm a novice to the coding you're talking about and to me it looks like the table is unfinished. Batya7 (talk) 02:45, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
- This was an issue previously, and the 27 February 2012 fix was use {{key press/core}} directly, to prevent listing in Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded.
- Despite what Template:Key press/core says, "cutting out the middle man" makes the expanded template code much less bulky (I think this is the kind of thing a Lua module could do much more efficiently).
- Comparing the version before that fix, it now has post-expand include size = 2061068/2097152 bytes (just under the limit), while the fixed version has post-expand include size = 1319466/2097152 bytes.
- The problem recurred here when someone reversed that fix, and replaced {{key press/core}} with {{key press}}. It's fine to use the latter occasionally on a page, but not on a page like this. – wbm1058 (talk) 22:14, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
- I submitted a request at Wikipedia:Lua/To do. wbm1058 (talk) 01:15, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
The problem might be that the output is simply too big. The following shows two samples with the number of bytes generated and the bytes that are generated (from Special:ExpandTemplates).
{{key press|Alt}}→ Alt (663 bytes)
<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap" style="border: 1px solid #aaa; -moz-border-radius: 0.2em; -webkit-border-radius: 0.2em; border-radius: 0.2em; -moz-box-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em rgba(0,0,0,0.1); -webkit-box-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em rgba(0,0,0,0.1); box-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em rgba(0,0,0,0.1); background-color: #f9f9f9; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); padding: 0.1em 0.3em; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.85em;">Alt</kbd>
{{key press|Alt|f}}→ Alt+f (1325 bytes)
<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap" style="border: 1px solid #aaa; -moz-border-radius: 0.2em; -webkit-border-radius: 0.2em; border-radius: 0.2em; -moz-box-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em rgba(0,0,0,0.1); -webkit-box-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em rgba(0,0,0,0.1); box-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em rgba(0,0,0,0.1); background-color: #f9f9f9; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); padding: 0.1em 0.3em; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.85em;">Alt</kbd>+<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap" style="border: 1px solid #aaa; -moz-border-radius: 0.2em; -webkit-border-radius: 0.2em; border-radius: 0.2em; -moz-box-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em rgba(0,0,0,0.1); -webkit-box-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em rgba(0,0,0,0.1); box-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em rgba(0,0,0,0.1); background-color: #f9f9f9; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); padding: 0.1em 0.3em; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.85em;">f</kbd>
There are 1164 {{key press}} or {{key press/core}} templates in the article. If the total required output is over 2MB the problem will occur regardless of whether a template or a module does the work. If there is no way to drastically simplify the generated output (to halve its size), the only alternative is to split the article. Johnuniq (talk) 05:12, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
New module[edit]
I created Module:Key after realizing that the old template has to copy quite a lot of stuff, which increases the post-expand include size. The module is used like this:
{{#invoke:key|press|Alt|F10}}→ Alt+F10
{{#invoke:key|press|A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I|J|K|L|M|N|O|P|Q|R|S|T|U|V|W|X|Y|Z}}→ A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H+I+J+K+L+M+N+O+P+Q+R+S+T+U+V+W+X+Y+Z
The second example shows there is no limit to the number of chained characters. However, there must be no missing parameters (

The module has removed the expansion errors. The following lines are from the NewPP report in the html source of the article. The first line was the old article using the old template, while the second line is the article after switching it to use the module.

Stupid Shortcut[edit]
What's the keyboard shortcut that somehow I accidentally press to navigate to a different page, erasing all the text I was typing into a form. And how do you turn the damned thing off so I don't keep navigating away from the page I just typed 10 minutes worth of text into only to lose it?

Since the high passes through the Sierra Nevada remain closed due to a heavy snowpack, downed trees and rock slides, we backtracked to U.S. 50 last evening and spent the night in Carson City, Nevada. This morning, we traveled south on Route 395, along the eastern base of the mountains, headed for Mono Lake; approaching that famous remnant of the Pleistocene, we re-entered California, ascended along the West Fork of the Walker River, descended into the basin of Bridgeport Reservoir and then climbed onto the northern rim of the Mono Lake basin where we enjoyed a fabulous panorama of the lake and its surroundings. For more details on the lake and its history, see the above link.
Stopping at the Visitor Center and three public access sites along the edge of the lake, we explored the tufa (calcium carbonate) formations and surveyed the open waters where thousands of eared grebes fed on brine shrimp; during the autumn migration, up to 1.8 million of these diving birds stop to rest and feed on Mono Lake. Two pair of ospreys are currently nesting on the tufa formations but must travel to other regional lakes to catch fish, which cannot survive in the alkaline waters of Mono. Other sightings included hundreds of California gulls and a single pair of ruddy ducks; according to local birders that we met, avocets, black-necked stilts and phalaropes, regular migrants and summer residents at Mono Lake, have not yet arrived.
Heading east across the Great Basin, we passed the northern end of the magnificent White Mountains; Boundary Peak, the highest point in Nevada, is at the northeast end of that Range. Continuing along U.S. 6, we crossed the stark beauty of of central Nevada; the highlight proved to be the broad, scenic Railroad Valley, southwest of Ely, where Blue Eagle Peak rises along its eastern rim and Currant Mountain anchors its northern end. After a night in Ely, we plan to visit Great Basin National Park and then head for Colorado.

The Running Massively Multiplayer Games tutorial done at GDC 2002 with Rich Vogel and Gordon Walton has now been posted.
GDC round-up
I've posted the slides for the two lectures I gave with Rich Vogel at GDC 2002. They're under Gaming/Essays, or just click here:
I'm waiting to hear back from Gordon Walton for posting the slides from the tutorial we did. If you want to read coverage of the panel or other online world stuff, here's some links:
- Joystick101.org's coverage of the panel, which includes a small audio snippet.
- Gamespy's coverage of many of the online world design talks.
- Joystick101.org's take on Joe Shochet's presentation on making online worlds for children. Joe worked on Toontown…
- Amy Jo Kim's slides for her presentation on multi-scale community design.
What was the panel like? Well, the audio snippet Joystick101 has is almost incomprehensible, so here's a transcript of that bit:
Question: How do you make it so that if other people want to start playing in that, either it works out, or it's a good story, or… what do you do?
Gordon Walton, panel moderator, exec producer The Sims Online, former Tyrant of UO: I want to paraphrase this, let me paraphrase this. What are we going to do when these unwashed people actually start, you know, putting stuff in front of us and you know, spoil our beautifully crafted world to hell. But uh, so that's the paraphrase, the one paraphrase. The other is, how are we going to get over the 99% of everything that's crap. Right? So that's a real problem, if 99% of everything is crap, and most people, you know, have the desire to be creative, but most of them don't have the actual skill to be creative. It's a real challenge, I think it is a real challenge. Why don't we see it today? That's probably a big part of it.
Raph is dying to say something… this is probably the last question, so start filling out your little forms, you know, and mark 'em "1" for Jessica. [rest lost in laughter–Jessica Mulligan was one of the panelists, and I kept contradicting her, and it had turned into a running joke. Basically, Jess said a dirty word, and I said, "Shame on you, now that's on tape!" and she said "Yeah, like they never heard that word here…"].
Me: Let me say, sir, that I really sympathize. I'm an artsy type, as Jessica is fond of reminding me, and you know, I have an MFA. I spent much of my life training to write crafted experiences. There's an intense amount of learning and craft and skill that goes there, and I hate to say this to say this to all the film directors, writers, poets, um, painters, and everything else out there in the world: get over yourselves, the rest of the world is coming. Okay? People value self-expression. Is story going to go away? No. Is careful crafting going to go away? No. Are the professionals engaged in that going to go away? No–well, except that IP, the concept of intellectual property, may; but that's a whole other side discussion.
The thing is that people want to express themselves, and they don't really care that 99% of everything is crap, because they are positive that the 1% they made isn't. Okay? And fundamentally, they get ecstatic as soon as five people see it, right?
So we can move to a meta-level of crafting experience. We can try to take a step up and say… you know, we can do what Lego did, which is give them the building blocks, so that they fundamentally can't make something so screwed up that everyone ends up leaving. Okay? And that's a different level of authorship than what we are used to, but it's a really exciting area of authorship.
It's all them, guys, and fundamentally, authorship is about us. And it's the wrong medium for it–it's not what the medium is for.
Another moment I liked was when we were asked what the fundamental appeal of online worlds was. I said, "Do things you can't do as someone you aren't, somewhere you can't be, with other people."
All in all, GDC was a lot of fun. Avatars Offline was quite good, I got to chat a lot with people I never get to see (like Will Wright & Gordon), and the dinners out were great.


text: Great to be a part of this, I love all bags but Hermes are my favorite, am saving for a birkin, would love any advice on eBay buying. My question for the group is this. I have a boxcalf vintage Kelly in black rigide 32cm. I also have a havana constance in box. It is a nice leather but I wonder if box will stand up to normal use. I would actually be using this birkin. Would I be better with togo? Please give some opinion. I really like the Rouge H as that is a classic colour. Anyone have any thoughts or pearls of wisdom?

It is with a not-so-heavy heart that I am finally parting ways with my comfy fitflops in all colors imaginable. :P Matagal-tagal na ring pinag-iinitan ng mga anak ko my choice of footwear, lol. So now, they are rejoicing with my decision & saying good riddance to my trusty pairs. But sorry, I'm holding on to my Birkinstocks for a while pa! Sandals, after all, are meant for our hot, humid, all-year round sunny weather.
As you know, I am blessed to have personal stylists at home. ;)) Having 2 fashionable girls mean never having to leave home looking matronly & dowdy hehe. At my ripe old age, they dress me up with a youthful vibe in various hip & fun clothing. And yup, lately even in footwear -sneakers to be exact, which is the trend now. Kaya goodbye fitflops!
We 3 gals have the same shoe size, so I get to borrow their precious loot from time to time. But my feet are wide, so not all footwear in their shoe cabinets I find comfy. I revel in their sneakers though as those give me the most comfort when walking long distance (5 meters long distance na para sa akin lol). I have taken to Ate's Adidas Ultra Boost & she finally gave me her limited edition black pair, to keep in my own closet. Nasuya na yata sa kahihiram ko haha.
Not content with just the black, I asked my babyson to look for a solid white so I can bring at least 2 to our coming trip. Skimming over Ate's itinerary, I am seeing lots & lots of walking. Never-ending! @_@ Mukhang hindi kakayanin ng powers ko if no ultra boost literally to help me get around. :P
I have also decided to bring 2 lightweight bags to alternate instead of my heavier leather totes. Kawawa naman kasi si Kap my Kap if he has to lug my bag around on top of his own. So now I come prepared. Europe, bring it on!
Clothes, check. Shoes, check. Bags, check. Yep, I'm all set. ;)

One time, I received this really cute gift from my BFF, a pink boyshort panty with lace trim and a corset. I thought no one could ever make me wear those sexy undies, but this one is different. I really liked it! It's not too loud but it is sexy, and I also got some VigRX, I know my husband will love it. From then on, I make it a point to visit the cool website from where she bought the undies.

You Gotta See this Bounty Land Map!
Bounty Land is one of my favorite research subjects because it is so rich in history and records. The birth and development of bounty land in America tells a piece of this nation's migration story, military history, and how the west was settled. A rich story, indeed.
Bounty Land is land awarded to soldiers for one of two reasons. It is either given as an inducement to serve like a recruiting bonus or as part or sum of a pension package in compensation for services rendered. In America the practice began in Colonial Times and continued through the Revolutionary War and all conflicts up to but not including the Civil War.
The US Government was well motivated to use the one resource it had in abundance – land – as alternative and/or supplementary military compensation, when at a time its cash resources were thin. Further, there was another motivation probably equally as strong to use land for compensation. The government had every reason to encourage westward migration. As the country grew so did our gross prosperity and the likelihood of our success as a nation. However, there was an impediment to westward migration – the threat of violence, hostile forces on the plains and generally in lands not yet settled. To counter this threat and quell the fears of settlers, no better a solution would be found than to encourage settlement on the frontier of trained, armed, military veterans! The thought was that they would create a safety zone or inherent fortress by their mere presence to protect the settlers. Win. Win.
The full history and nuances of the many bounty land acts would be far outside the scope of this post. But suffice to say it was a bumpy road, with many legislative acts along the way.
Really Cool Bounty Land Map
There are many and varied Bounty Land Acts that serve to create the patchwork of bounty lands we see today on a history bounty land map. You see, for the better part of the history of bounty land distribution, the soliders could not pick any piece of land in the western frontier to settle. They were either assigned or could pick land from a designated reserve (kind of like an Indian Reserve) specified by the government. Hence, the creation of Miliatry Reserves and the Military Reserves Map.
I should note here that it wasn't just the US Government dispensing land to soliders. Many of the states granted land, too. One of the biggest examples is the Virginia Military District in central Ohio. Yes, Virginia was giving away land in Ohio.
Land All Over This Country
When you look at the map it is clear that land was designated and distributed all over the country from upstate New York to far flung Missouri and deep in the heart of Arkansas. It is in part because some of the land was sooooo remote that the Bounty Land distribution programs had not an insignificant amount of problems. Imagine being sixty-plus years old and finally receiving land…in Arkansas. There's nothing wrong with Arkansas, but it is a bit of a hike in 1820 from Pennsylvania to arrive at your new homestead.
How the Map is Helpful to Genealogists
The reason I'm excited about this map aside from its obvious coolness, is that it can really help your research. If you are looking for land records and are not finding them among the usual suspects, look at the map. If your ancestor settled in an area that was a Military Reserve, you might look for check for a bounty land records including a warrant. (A warrant in this case is a "certificate" or entitlement which enables the holder to obtain land for free in its exchange.) (Warrants can now be found on www.ancestry.com.)
Where Do You Look for Bounty Land?
The best place to start looking for Bounty Land is on the Bureau of Land Management/General Land Office's website. Here you can search for and download land patents (first title or deed for that land) for FREE. If your ancestor owned bounty land, you will see on the patent the name of the Legislative Act under which the land was distributed. Don't let the name of the Acts throw you. The bounty land acts are given the title "script warrant act of xxxx." So just look for "script warrant" in the title of the Act. If you're lucky enough to have an ancestor with a "script warrant" patent, then you can chase down the rest of his pension file through the National Archives and/or order the Land Entry Files (land application records) through the National Archives. It is a bounty records that just keeps giving.
So, check out the map. It's a neat piece of history, which may lead you to a treasure of bounty land records to enrich your family tree.
And Happy Researching!

that " he is a stranger in a strange land." No one who
has the desire of benefiting Texas, need be deterred
from the undertaking from apprehensions of not meeting
a cordial reception. People who are using their
utmost power to advance the best interests of their
state, will gladly welcome those who come to do them
good. Indeed, every facility and encouragement is
offered which is in their power to extend.
Privations may be experienced, but these the liberalhearted
individual must reasonably expect, and make
all due allowance. He that is actuated by the superior
motive of doing good, will find all his sacrifices more

of disinterested benevolence.
" There is no man who hath left" home and country
"for the kingdom of God's sake, who shall not receive
manifold more in this present life, and in the world to
come life everlasting." Our Saviour, in his dispensations
of grace to man, made worldly sacrifice an indispensable
condition, and the more fully this condition is
complied with, the more ample is the reward. Hence,
to surrender earthly good for the inestimable blessings
of the gospel, should be esteemed an exalted privilege
by every real Christian.
No one has brighter hopes, richer joys, or surer
promises than he who labors for the Lord. The follower
of Christ must follow where his Master leads,

Remittances and poverty in Ghana
The author uses a large, nationally representative household survey to analyze the impact of internal remittances (from Ghana) and international remittances (from African and other countries) on poverty in Ghana. With only one exception, he finds that both types of remittances reduce the level, depth, and severity of poverty in Ghana. But the size of the poverty reduction depends on how poverty is being measured. The author finds that poverty is reduced more when international, as opposed to internal, remittances are included in household income, and when poverty is measured by the more sensitive poverty measures-poverty gap and squared poverty gap. For example, the squared poverty gap measure shows that including international remittances in household expenditure (income) reduces the severity of poverty by 34.8 percent, while including internal remittances in such income reduces the severity of poverty by only 4.1 percent. International remittances reduce the severity of poverty more than internal remittances because of the differential impact of these two types of remittances on poor households. Households in the poorest decile group receive 22.7 percent of their total household expenditure (income) from international remittances, as opposed to only 13.8 percent of such income from internal remittances. When these"poorest of the poor"households receive international remittances, their income status changes dramatically and this in turn has a large effect on any poverty measure-like the squared poverty gap-that considers both the number and distance of poor households beneath the poverty line.

Over the past few months I have come to equate having a headboard with having your shit together. Don't ask me why because I know it's totally illogical, but it's become a major part of my personal life philosophy. I guess I figure if you're able to spend money on this pretty but sort of unnecessary thing, you're in a good place in life. As a result, I recently became immensely interested in buying a headboard to symbolize to myself and others that I, too, have my shit together.
I was slightly shocked by how quickly I was able to select a headboard I loved, and even more shocked when the thing showed up and was heavy, bulky, and in a bunch of pieces. I don't know what I expected, but I guess I was hoping there would be some useful Wayfair guy who arrived with the package, all ready to do the assembly work for me.
Seeing as how I'm neither patient nor handy, I knew this was going to be a production. I thought about calling in reinforcements in the form of my best guy friend. I figured if I offered him Chicken McNuggets and beer he would get it set up for me, but then I had an empowered, independent, sort-of adult moment and became determined to get this thing figured out myself. What Would Beyonce Do? (I know, she would have one of her 73 assistants set it up for her. Don't answer that.)
I feel like it's nice to remind yourself from time to time that you can tackle any task that comes your way, regardless of how seemingly complex or confusing it may be. Powering through tough projects always makes me feel invincible.
This was how the process began:
After a significant amount of sweating and talking to myself, I was able to get the thing assembled. While the finished product isn't totally successfully screwed into my bed frame and will probably end up falling on me and killing me in the night, I'm proud of how it looks.
I know it's just a headboard and in the grand scheme of things it isn't that important, but I'd never assembled one by myself before, so it's become symbolic. I was able to work through the steps without losing patience, and then I was able to use my Pilates muscles to get the thing hoisted up and balanced behind my bed. And it looks damn cute. Patience and sheer determination triumph over a DIY project once again. And I'm now a functioning adult with a headboard and her shit together.
Update: It should be noted that my mother, Pam Levine, provided endless support via FaceTime as I sat and sweat and cursed while trying to get this thing together. She was an essential part of this process and not giving her credit in the first version of this post was a gross oversight on my part.

The Florida Gators have only played 8 non-conference road games over the past 11 years. (7 of which were against FSU and 1 against Miami).
In fact, they have never played a non-conference game outside of the state of Florida. (excluding bowl games which are held in non-host sites)
Most of the other SEC schools have similar records of never playing road non-conference games outside of their state. (TU being an exception).
It nice to claim that the SEC is so good against non-conference teams. But until Florida goes to BYU, UCLA, or Kansas on the road... they ought not think of themselves so highly....

In yesterday's post, just a few minutes in, I discovered that the two sets of earrings as well as the coat in the first set were no longer available. I understand why and I know too that sometimes we are disappointed when we see something we really, really, really would like to add to our repertoire, and we missed the opportunity.
I rarely see style decisions — OK, occasionally I do (who does't?) — quite like that. I like to think that missing out on an accessory or a piece of clothing gives us the chance to rethink how we would wear something differently. After all, that's what getting dressed and getting out there is all about. When we make an important investment in a dress for example, we want that dress to be a canvas on which we can build a new story, several new stories in fact. The details involved can change not only the mood of the dress, but ours as well.
(Let's talk disappointed for a second shall we? As I was writing this post, the two coats and the teardrop earrings were sold out. I did the sets last night and was scrupulous in choosing the replacement items. Ah, challenges, challenges, challenges. . . I have now turned to the ultimate classic, a trench coat, and this one has a zip out lining so it is a serious wardrobe wonder. As for the earrings, they go with the black dress. May I suggest that we interpret the all of the outfits as well as the replacement items as "ideas" and move on. . .?)
A coat is another story of course, it's more than an add-on for most of us. A coat is a "serious" piece of clothing as in it's usually one of the most expensive items in our wardrobe and when we live in a cold climate it is worn over and over and over throughout the fall and winter months. That means a coat needs some serious consideration: Does it work with much/most of what we own, can it be worn day-in-and-day-out, does it flatter our figures and our faces, does it make us feel elegant and pulled together, is it both stylish and warm?
Silly as it may seem, I think something as theoretically simple as a pair of earrings also need some thought. Take the grey knit dress (which I love), it needs earrings that are a bit "hefty" or substantial in some way because of the texture and solidness of the dress. Fragile and delicate just doesn't work. The black dress could probably go either way, but the fact that it is sleeveless and may or may not be worn with the ultra feminine bolero cardigan indicates for me that lighter earrings might work better with the ensemble.
What do you think about when you choose accessories? What do you do when you realize something you were dreaming about is no longer available — of course I'm talking about clothes, this is not a profound philosophical conversation? (We can have one of those another day if you would like. . .)

So the roulette wheel has been on the back burner lately, what with last month's Oscar coverage and the need to check in on Teen Wolf. This isn't due to a lack of interest in doing more roulettes, simply a decision to be a bit more strategic with its use. So with that said, we return this week to the roulette action, ready for whatever it is to bring. That is what makes this week's selection, WGN America's Underground, so exciting. WGN America is still in the early stages of its foray into original content, but Underground represents a key part of its next wave, as it goes from a network with an original show or two to becoming an actual brand. Will Underground prove to be a good step in that direction or will it prove to be an early mistake for the "new" network? Find out right after the rundown.
TV Roulette Week 14
Underground; 'The Lord's Day,' Season 1, Episode 3
Air Date
March 23rd 2016
Have I Seen This Show Before?
Why not?
I haven't really watched any of the WGN shows, so this more or less just continued that trend.
WGN America is a weird network. It is a new network, but at the same time it really, really isn't. For years, WGN was simply a Chicago station that, much like the USA network, made its living on syndication, showing old seasons of popular shows. With one major exception, it is also the Chicago regional sports station, as it is owned by the Tribune Company. That's one of the reasons I found myself a fan of so many Chicago-based teams when I was a kid (though I am still a Cubs fan, because apparently I like misery)–I could watch their games from my Midwest/Southern hometown in Kentucky. That's neat, but it's all WGN has ever been.
But then a funny thing happened– WGN embraced the America part of its moniker and decided to make a more concerted attempt to go national. Like many other networks, WGN realized that the current cable television model is untenable, and that at some point everything is going to break away from the simple cable umbrella. When this happens, networks actually need to have something worth watching if they hope to survive. So in 2014, WGN stuck its toe back into the original television waters with the supernatural horror show Salem and the historical drama Manhattan. While neither has had the success, say, AMC had with its initial entries into the scripted world (which just to be clear is not a fair standard for any network to be held to, because a network's first two shows being Mad Men and Breaking Bad–not to mention following them up soon after with the powerhouse The Walking Dead–involves a ridiculous amount of timing, luck, and talent), these shows have garnered strong pockets of support to help form a nice fan base for WGN. Now in 2016, WGN is expanding its show catalogue, first with the rural family survivalist drama The Outsiders, and more recently with Underground, which launched earlier this month on March 9th.
Underground seems to fit the type of show that WGN America has been making so far–dramas that have their eye on history in some form (that all get one word titles, apparently). (Maybe one-word titles are being selected for because they use up fewer characters on Twitter? – Ed) Salem, Manhattan, and Underground are all actual period pieces, and while Outsiders may be modern, it is about a group who lives outside modern society and sometimes feels like it, too, is taking place in the past. Underground, though, is particularly interesting. In the wrong hands, it could be a cynical attempt to recreate the magic of 12 Years a Slave, or simply a misguided attempt to tap into the same audience that Empire and blackish have tapped into; but in the right hands, it could offer a show that looks at race and slavery in a way that media hasn't really done on television nearly as much as you might expect. The notable exception, of course, being Roots, which is getting its own reboot on the History Channel in a couple of months. At any rate, this is a risky idea for a show, which is why it was perfect for a network like WGN America, who can swing big with less fear of failure than a more established network. (I'll admit this seems counter-intuitive, but the more mainstream a network becomes, the more cautious its programming, with a few notable exceptions like HBO and FX) WGN needs hits right now, and doesn't a whole lot to lose. So, I guess the question ultimately is, how does Underground do? Pretty damn well.
At its core, Underground is an escape movie, or in this case an escape show, with the underrated Aldis Hodge and Jurnee Smollet-Bell at the forefront as protagonists Noah and Rosalee. Sure, there are other parts to it. In an effort to show all aspects of the Underground Railroad, the show highlights two abolitionists in the north, John and Elizabeth Hawkes (Marc Blucas and Jessica De Goew) who offer their house up to help shelter runaway slaves on their journey to freedom. The show also goes into plantation life, much like 12 Years a Slave, but the main thrust of the show is the idea of a group of slaves planning a daring escape for freedom. Much of the episode I watched spends time discussing the actual nuts and bolts of an escape attempt. Noah and Sam (Johnny Ray Gill) spend most of the story trying to figure out how to create harnesses that will allow the group to escape underneath the railroad tracks, which leads to a fun scene where Sam has to help distract his master, Tom Macon (Reed Diamond), while Noah hangs precariously from the ceiling, testing the restraints. It's nothing new, really, but the scene still works quite well, as the show takes its time to slowly go through the steps of getting ready to flee.
Now most shows could let this stand, slowly building up the plan each week until the group is ready to escape. The show even has its own form of a mystery, with a song that contains the instructions that must be deciphered in order to escape to the North. One moment of triumph in this episode is that Noah and Henry (Renwick Scott) figure out what part of the song means, and thus are one step closer to escaping. The show even established a fairly brisk timeline of six days, which could allow the show to wait until mid-season before pulling the trigger on the escape, but Underground isn't one to rest on its laurels. First, the show pulls the rug out from under a carefully laid plan by forcing Noah and Rosalee to immediately go on the run after Rosalee kills one of the Macon Plantation's overseers after the man tries to drunkenly rape her. The two of them escape under a repaired wagon, and now the question is, what the hell is going to happen next? What about the rest of the slaves who planned to escape? How on Earth can Noah and Rosalee survive on the run with no real preparations and having left behind their forged freedom papers? What kind of show will exist now that an escape has actually happened? There is a strong possibility that this audacious choice will actually break the show going forward, if the creators don't know how to fix the structure they've broken, but for now I will applaud the show for throwing caution to the win and not going down a familiar path.
That is not the only twist the show throws in; John and Elizabeth Hawkes find themselves in grave danger as the very first escaped slave, or "cargo" (Jussie Smollett), they try to help ends the episode holding a knife to John's throat. It's not looking good for John, especially considering only Jessica De Gouw actually gets mentioned in the opening credits. The Hawkes offer an interesting viewpoint in this show, revealing a North that may feel for slaves, but is not yet at the point where many of its citizens are willing to go against the law in order to protect them. It is still years before the Civil War, and seeing a show point out the evil of the North's willingness to be complicit in the Southern slave trade is a very different look than many shows and movies, which more often show the North as an enlightened bastion of tolerance and social justice that fights against the evil slave practices of the South. Sure, this happens one way or another eventually, but for now the North is full of people who will return runaway slaves to their masters because in the eyes of the law they are still property (the Dred Scott Decision having just happened).
What really sets Underground apart is its style. This episode opens with an impressive sequence cross-cutting between two ministers, one black and one white, both preaching to their congregation about how God created the earth. The cutting is seamless and the camera work is exquisite. Everything is strangely dynamic, even though both scenes are rather ordinary. In an instant, it does a perfect job of establishing the contrast between the white land owners and the slaves. Considering it also cuts in Noah and Sam figuring out when they will execute their plan, the sequence also helps advance the plot. Which fits, because this show clearly doesn't just want to move quickly, it wants to move at warp speed. Part of this is likely because the show only has ten episodes in the season, but there is also a clear desire to keep things moving, creating a stylistic air of excitement that other versions of this show might not have. It's a dangerous game to play during a season, because it is so easy for a show that moves this quickly to lose itself and go completely off the rails, but for now it adds to the stylistic flair of the show.
The other big thing about this show is its use of modern music. Considering John Legend is one of the executive producers (and Kanye West was originally involved with the show before Legend) this isn't as surprising as it would normally be, but it does make for a very different experience. The mix between classical and modern music is a bit jarring, but it also continues to add to the energy of the episode, and likely the show as a whole. Underground is wholly committed to being a different kind of show set in the Antebellum, and its music choices help with that. Hearing the X Ambassadors' 'Jungle' at the end of the episode gave the action a little extra pop, and hearing Problem Child's 'Good to Be Young' during a stuffy dinner party at the governor's mansion where Elizabeth and John attempt to mingle and gain information made what could have been a pretty boring, standard party scene work so much better. The same goes for the dance sequence, which does a good job of portraying how people would actually try to have fun at parties, even in the late 1850s. I imagine these music choices aren't always going to work so well, but it's refreshing to see a show willing to take these kinds of risks. The fact that this show has strong writing and characters is great, but its unique style is a big reason why Underground has a real chance to be something truly special, as long as it doesn't let its breakneck pace get too out of hand.
Notes and Observations
- Amirah Vann's Ernestine brings a lot to a role that could have been thankless. She has made the best of a bad situation to put her children in the best position possible, and she is ingenious in using Toby Nichols's T.R. Macon to get Rosalee out of trouble for stealing Tom Macon's seal.
- I now understand why Adina Porter has not been used as much this year on The 100, as she shows up here as Pearly Mae. She has an excellent scene with Rosalee when Pearly Mae explains how she knew she was in love with her husband.
- Christopher Meloni is in this show. He didn't do much this episode so I don't really know who his character is, but he is always a welcome sight in any show (other than True Blood, because he was a part of the unintentional horror that was Season 5).
- Andrea Frankle as Suzanna Macon continues the work of Sarah Paulson in 12 Years a Slave in making the wife of the the plantation owner just as bad if not much worse than her husband in her treatment of the slaves.
- Even a would-be rapist gets a bit of humanizing on this show, as the drunken overseer tells a woeful tale about his lost wife that almost makes you feel for him–before he gets angry and attempts to commit a heinous act by trying to rape Rosalee.
- I don't know how I feel about Cato (Alano). There is a lot of potential for a character like him, but two-face characters like this always have to tread a fine line, and it remains to be seen whether this show will know how to walk it or not.
- Those railroad tracks had to be torturously heavy, and the show did a great job of showing the grit of the characters in trying to keep them from touching the ground.
- Seriously, though, I don't know how the show comes back from two of its characters escaping in the third episode. The show can't really snap back without losing all credibility, but somehow these characters have to figure out how to reunite with the rest. Maybe they will get caught and then sprung by the others before they can be sold to worse slavers, or hung.
Episode Grade: B+
Will I watch more?
- Probably. This show has the look of being a really good show, and is only ten episodes long. That said, this may be one I actually wait until the season is over to see, simply because it feels more like a binge show than a week-to-week show. But we'll see.
That's it for this week's TV Roulette. Tune in next week for more. Until then, remember that dancing on a piano is always the best way to get everyone's attention.

Samsung Galaxy S9 - Technological particulars
Dependent on accessible data, the following Galaxy S9, which is now referred to as Venture Lucky, primarily based mostly on the Exynos 8890 processor, which is a sequence of details is also referred to as the Mongoose M1 SoC (it is also, seemingly, code title or the title of the kernel). As for the frequency of the processor consensus however. Some check out benefits appears in Geekbench two.3 GHz frequency, in other people - only one.four. In this regard, there are unique concerns. The very first selection - Samsung drives a processor on a unique frequency, the 2nd - analyzed power conservation, and elevated efficiency. Probably the truth that samples are ceiling achievable running frequency, and the closing variation will happen with a locked multiplier and bus speed constrained. Yet another exciting factor of Undertaking Fortunate - presence in a amount of MicroSD memory playing cards guidance info. It is said that Samsung has determined a way to merge extremely-rapidly inside memory variety UFS two. and memory cards, and this systems will be extended to it. I want to say that the exercise of giving Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Edge has uncovered the desire for options to broaden the memory of the smartphone. Project Fortunate The third factor of the activity - the existence of a new digicam with a 20 megapixel sensor produced by ISOCELL technology, and it has its have code identify for the project - all lens include. Even so, the a lot more particulars we do not know. In summary, we observe that all information on the Undertaking Fortunate has not nevertheless been confirmed by formal sources when the company and it is potentially no a lot more dependable than guesswork.

I don't think abortion as birth control is acceptable at all. If you made the decision to not use birth control responsibly/practice safe sex then you should have to live with it. There are plenty of methods and plenty of low-cost ways to get them. No excuse, IMO.
In cases of rape I can empathize but there is adoption. Lots of women can't get pregnant and want a child so badly, so why not grant their wish as well as your own? You don't want the child, they do want a child. Win win.
In cases of extreme deformation/disease that would lead to absolutely no quality of life or kill the child I can see that. Why bring a child into this world just to die?
