This might have been discussed already but I couldn't find anything through searching. So I've watched a little bit of the Dark Souls videos that have been going up recently and I've noticed something about the combat. This game apprently plays like an MMO when you are trying to solo stuff that's higher level than you. The techniques I've seen people use in this game so far are kiting and pulling. It's about biting off a little bit at a time and pulling stuff back so it follows you but the other enemies give up because of the way their pathing works. Am I totally wrong about this?
It depends on the area and which enemies you're fighting really. Early on you'll be able to handle 2-3 guys no problem, but later on that same amount will definitely give you some trouble. That being said, I did find myself employing this strategy a lot, especially in the second half of the game once you obtain the ability to teleport around the map. However, I can imagine that if you actually manage to master the parry ability and successfully land a counter-attack that you'll be able to take on several enemies, even in the latter part of the game, since you're invulnerable during the counter-attack animation.
One big difference in Dark Souls is that if you pull an enemy with a ranged attack, it's friends typically just stand there. This makes bows somewhat overpowered in some sections of the game. This is especially true since there is no inventory encumbrance, so one can carry an unlimited amount of arrows and just chip away at enemies outside their aggro range.
Otherwise, I guess the pulling is sort of like an MMO, but that is hardly specific to that genre. There really isn't any kiting, though.
eh, maybe in very loose terms...sure. I would not say, however, that Dark Souls play anything like an mmo. After playing mmos for a very long time I would say that most mmo combat is pretty mindless unless you are doing something like a high end raid boss. Every encounter in Dark Souls takes even just a little bit of attention, unless its one of the mindless undead. Pulling stuff is less about the enemy being that much more powerful than you as much as its about managing the combat and doing things on your terms opposed to dealing with 5-6 enemies and different enemy types at once.
It plays like a good RPG. People seem to think a lot of these "MMO terms/techniques/strategies" come from MMOs, but they pre-date MMOs by far. Go back to games like Baldur's Gate, Eye of the Beholder, Lands of Lore (and probably even before that) and you will see alot of the same concepts in play.
A lot of games use the term kiting and pulling. This is not exclusive terminology for MMO's. I would say there isn't really any kiting either, although there are some monsters you can abuse the leash radius for (havel, taurus demons in the lava). Dark souls most certainly does not play like an mmo, in the slightest.
These are just general video game techniques.
pulling for enemies away from agro..... yeah maybe. But no, generally the combat is pretty snap on responsive, you can counter practically anything, back stab a lot of things, tear of tails and actually being hit. There's more of a sense of a connection with the moves.
Mainly, I'm asking this because so many people I respect love this game and it seems like MMO mechanics to me. And I am so fucking done with MMOs.
Dark Souls is not an MMO. I've never heard anyone use Dark Souls and MMO in the same sentence before this thread.
If this gameplay looks like an MMO then I need to get in on some of that hot MMO action.
I've never played a game with, if we're being reductive, stealth mechanics and thought, I really hate MMOs. Like Thief or, I dunno, Far Cry 3. Dark Souls has levels with specific mob placement. Those mobs have cones of vision and can hear. So, naturally, you can pull them. Or you could just run at them and fight a bunch of dudes all at once. Like Thief or, I dunno, Far Cry 3. You can enjoy or hate Dark Souls in spite of your ability to shoot an arrow at a dude and have him be annoyed by the arrow sticking out of his head.

The enemy placement is so well thought out and the level design so good that no, DkS doesn't play like an MMo at all.
I also don't understand why someone would think that those techniques are derived from mmos
it plays however you play it
Mainly, I'm asking this because so many people I respect love this game and it seems like MMO mechanics to me. And I am so fucking done with MMOs.
I played WoW for 7 years before I quit due to how burnt out I was, and I can promise you that Dark Souls is NOTHING like it. Dark Souls was one of the best video game experiences I have had in the past 5 years, and I think it's a terrible idea to avoid it. While there's the whole "DARK SOULS IS HARD" meme that is still popular, it's actually not too bad as long as you play defensively no matter where you go, which inevitably means that yes, having a bow/crossbow equip so you can pull enemies from a long range is a fantastic idea. You don't necessarily need it, but it will definitely make certain sections of the game easier.

Not really, though I guess newer MMOs are closer to 3rd person action games then not. "Aggro" has been around in games since forever so that's nothing MMO specific, ditto pulling. There's never a point where you wait for the monster's cast bar to fill up for 2.5 seconds and there's no moment where you can't do anything for every 1.5 seconds.
@fredchuckdave: I hope this doesn't ruin the magic for you, but there totally are moments in which the mechanics you mention are nearly identical. One can't do actions, quite often, in Dark Souls, for a substantial amount of time. Whenever one swings a sword, initiate a roll, etc. you are locking your character into a move selection that will take some time to complete. In some fights this can mean one's character is uncontrollable for more time than he is controllable. This is not dissimilar to the concept of "global cooldown" in most MMOs; however, the ways in which Dark Souls' "cooldowns" are implemented are much more logical, seemless, and beautifully animated. As a result they are almost completely invisible to the naked eye, as a opposed to many MMOs which quite literally show you are a shader progress across most abilities on your user interface.
As for your point to cast bars it is effectively identical to the previous point. Dark Souls does not, strictly speaking, have cast bars. However, nearly every enemy one encounters have significant casting/combat animations which tip the player off concerning their next actions. Again, compared to a cast bar, From Software has created a substantially more elegant solution. However, you would be fool to say one is doing nothing in an MMO during this period, and the same applies to Dark Souls. A player would typically be looking to minimize the effect of the cast/ability, in order to prolong their own life.
My overall point is this, many games have similar mechanics which create great, fun, and engaging core gameplay loops. The ways in which developers disguise, dress up, or enhance those mechanics can vary significantly. Thus, in my opinion, the games, all games really, are not as dissimilar as you convey. Though perhaps you realize this, and have adjusted your range of diversity so drastically that the two do seem like day and night, which in some respects they are. Though the gameplay systems you mentioned are not among those factors which make them so incredibly and brilliantly different.
@johnbakosh: Which MMO are we talking about here anyway? WoW? WoW combat basically has you lock to a target, only if you are in range are you allowed to use said attack, and the outcome is determined by a dice roll (hit or miss, and damage). Dark Souls uses animation priority. Each attack has a certain amount of frames which you can't cancel out of once you initiate an action. Your attack hits or miss based on the hit boxes, not dice rolls. If you want to call animation priority a form of cooldown, euh. i guess. I think they're at fairly different places in the spectrum.
I mean, if you find the similarities more interesting than the differences, feel free to call them similar. If we want to get loose about things, I would say that MMOs are a kind of really slow FPS, and your character is actually a physical instantiation of your reticule in the game world.
Yes that is true so I guess you are right, it uses MMO techniques
I use MMO techniques in pretty much every game. Yesterday I kitet an APC up a hill with a AA Tank, bailed out just before it exploded, laid a C4 trap behind it and ran off in the shadows of billowing plumes of smoke from my wrecked vehicle. Needless to say, the APC pursued me full of frevor, and found his doom at the twitching of my thumb on the remote detonator. Battlefield games have it all.
MMOs make for better players. I believe anybody who has raided in WoW on a high level (I'd say killing bosses/clearing dungeons pre-nerf counts) has become much better at videogames in general. Playing MMOs with dedication and success make you think about the game in-depth. Read up on theory and in-depth mechanics. Prepare for very specific challenges. Learn how to overcome them. Sometimes, things are rough, and you have to cope - which yields even more lessons in gaming mastery.
This isn't really what you're referring to but I will say that the environment's in the game sometimes fill me with a sense of awe that is pretty heavily reminiscent to me of MMO's. Places like Ash Lake and that remind me of looking over WoW's landscape for example.
It would probably be better to judge a game after you've actually played it.
In any case, here's my take on it:
Dark Souls is designed around betraying the player's expectations while constantly testing their skill and knowledge of the game's systems. Accordingly, the player's skill and knowledge of the combat mechanics is the deciding factor for achieving victory. Dark Souls' combat is quick, ruthless, and deadly in a way that MMOs can never be.
Conversely, MMO combat is very much rooted in tradition. Every action is thoroughly explained and specific roles are given to all combat participants. Battles are highly choreographed, with levels assigned directly to all participants so players know whether or not they can win. The mechanics of the game are the deciding factor in combat, primarily the level (stats) of the various combat participants.
Essentially, Dark Souls' combat is the antithesis of MMO-style combat.

Kiting and pulling isn't really exclusive to MMOs...
Hell i kited heavies over to gas tanks so i could shoot the gas tanks to kill them all the time in Far Cry 3.
I think its kinda silly to claim its like an MMO just because you can kite and pull guys. You can do that in TONS of games. I mean any tactical retreat in any game (or hell the real world) could be called "kiting".
In AC4 i constantly would "pull" lone guards away from their posts with the whistle. Is AC4 like an MMO too? Just seems silly to me to claim this.

Although that one concept exists in both types of games, I don't think anyone would realistically refer to Dark Souls as "like and MMO. in any other respect"
You kite and pull in dark souls, but that's not specifically an mmo thing; it just tends to always be the most successful strategy in an mmo.
More importantly, what you do after the pull is incredibly different in dark souls compared to an mmo. In an mmo you start your rotation and whaling on the mob; most likely if it's only a few mobs you're in zero danger. In dark souls you begin this scary dance of death where one mistake will cost you dearly, potentially your life. And that's the case against nearly all the enemies in the game, even when you backtrack and go to an earlier area.

Founded for farmers' sons in 1865, Cranleigh School is now a 500-pupil co-educational independent boarding school in Surrey. It's an imposing building, set high on its own hill, and few visitors forget their first sight of it. The author is an English teacher at the school.
7.15pm: All 65 teachers gather to meet the inspectors for an ice-breaking buffet. There are 15 of them - all head teachers, former heads and senior staff from independent schools. The team is an Ofsted-accredited one from HMC - the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference, the professional body for leading independent schools. Everyone is in best suits and on best behaviour. We started our preparations for this inspection months ago and staff stress has been rising since. Tonight there's a perceptible easing of tension.
10.15am: forty-five sixth-formers gather in a large classroom to hear this week's English lecture. The english department inspector is Jeremy Nichols, distinguished head of Stowe. What will he make of the lecture system, which is a special feature of A-level teaching? Most students seem more attentive than ever, with a visiting headteacher in the back-row. One benefit of inspection is immediately underlined, proving that improvements obvious to an outsider can be easily overlooked from within. The system itself is given credit as an example of team teaching - but why, asks our illustrious inspector, has no time been left for questions?
With perverse timing, the fire alarm sounds right in the middle of break. Teachers and inspectors alike spill out on to the quad in front of the staff room, as students hasten to assembly points. Ten minutes later all are accounted for.
The cause of the fire alarm going off is burnt toast; but the emergency system has worked, and it's been a chance to see the school's back-up fire-brigade in action.
Inevitably, the next period runs late, with students loud and lively after such unscheduled excitement. With 360 boarders, pastoral care is a prime inspection concern. In the evening, a full programme of visits to girls' and boys' boarding-houses begins.
Cubitt House, recently extended to provide top-grade study facilities, is home to 60 boys. Inside there is the unmistakable "buzz" common to boarding-houses: the sense of energy and excitement when young people gather together.
Tiwadola Cardoso, 16, and Tony Hart, 15, both about to take GCSEs, share a study. It's new, comfortable, houses a computer, has desk space, beds, plus many CDs and posters. Neither Tiwa nor Tony are saints - but both praise the friendliness of their house and the benefits boarding can bring. "Boarding encourages you to mix - it almost forces you to get on," says Tiwa. On my way out, I pass on their positive attitude to housemaster, Andrew Griffiths. He hopes the inspector will notice.
There's an unusual sight at the start of the school day: 20 students struggling with blue supermarket-style boxes, full of their files, on their way to meet the inspectors. They're the sample chosen to discuss a full year's written work with the team. Although they are not being inspected, one or two are nervous.
Jeremy Nichols sits in on Year 9 drama: a practical workshop in the Nineties-built Vivian Cox Theatre, supervised by director of drama, Mandy McIlwaine, or "Miss Mac", as she is known.
Few staff dare to cross swords with Mandy, let alone students, so all goes well. "We forgot he was there after a while," said one girl.
Cranleigh went co-educational last year, so a key concern is how well girls are integrated. Sarah Greenwood, the maths teacher and deputy house mistress, is on duty, awaiting the inspector. South, the main girls' boarding-house, has been converted from the Connaught Block - a classic twenties building. Ever since girls started, rumours have abounded of the unbridled luxury of its accommodation.
Sarah believes co-education has been a big success: "There's so much on offer for girls here." Anna Lewis and Ashleigh Howes, both 13 and in their first year, report few problems with integration.
Both students came to Cranleigh for a change from all-girls schools, and are enjoying learning to live with boys. "It's like a college more than a school. We all get on well," says Anna. Though each deny the persistent rumours of en suite saunas.
In the evening, there is an opportunity for parents to express their opinions to the inspection team. No teachers present.
By now we are used to seeing the team around the school. This week is a busy one - with GCSE course work and A-level mocks to be set and marked. No time to relax. Disaster strikes in my last inspected lesson. It's a warm day, the end of a double period, lunch is beckoning; so, with 10 minutes to go, despite best efforts to keep him interested, one of the lads gives up the struggle and falls asleep. Horrified that Hardy should have this effect in front of an inspector, I try to make a joke of it. Deep down, I despair.
The inspection's over. There's a sigh of relief in the staff-room: a feeling of something accomplished. But there's more than a hint of anti-climax, too. It sounds strange, but this inspection has given us teachers a sense of unity, purpose and common cause. Now it's back to humdrum reality. All we have to worry about is the verdict.
And the inspector's verdict was: Glowing. The school was described as a good, caring community with high academic standards

(Not quite sure what day it was), It was about 5:50 a.m when I opened my eyes again. The room was still slightly dark and there was absolute silence outside. Not a bird chirping, or a dog barking, not even the wind seemed to make a noise. I rolled over a bit and saw my friend Cody just laying there on the ground unconscious. I looked up and saw my brother on the top bunk also still sleeping. I didn't want to get up but I had to, we had to get ready to go to Cody's house for the day. I poked at Cody until his eyes saw the world again. Neither of us exchanged words, he just nodded his head and began to crawl out of a sleeping bag. I didn't bother my brother Joel because when I try to wake him up he gets pissed real quick. Cody went to go piss and so did I right after. Then we both got dressed and ready for the day. Joel woke up from the noise we were making and joined in on getting ready. Almost like zombies we moved aimlessly due to exhuastion. We grabbed a couple bb guns so we would have something to do that day, and some camofluage clothing. When I opened the door and walked out on to the drive-way I noticed that my block looked dead. Not another thing was outside except for us. Then I proceeded to put all the crap in the truck of the car. The car ride woke all of us up, on account of me blaring the radio. Nothing else was on so I put it to 98.9 Hip Hop y Mas. I think it was Jay-Z with Bring em' out. But whatever, Im sure you dont give a shit about that. When we finally reached Cody's house the first thing I saw was that his drive-way was like a 90 degree angle. It was definitly a first for me to see that. It was actually a pretty big house, I just expected a smaller one because he is always complaining about his house. His mom greeted us first thing outside, along with his sister and younger brother Zach. We said our hello's and good mornings then went inside. We just sat there eating McDonald's breakfast which is not too bad. For the rest of the day we just shot at each other with bb guns. I could go on forever about that but Im pretty sure your already bored reading this, so I will get straight onto the point. During that day I ended up tripping and falling on my knee being as clumsy as I am ( I feel like a dumb ass just thinking about it, of course with a smile though). It scared the crap out of me because even hours later when I returned home I could barely walk. I thought to myself \"Holy Shit!, Im going to bootcamp tommorow, and when we do PT, if Im still hurt I will look like a lame wimp who cant even walk straight.\" Being as nervous as I was, I jumped into the pool to try and swim it out like the Denzel Washington did in \"Man on Fire\" when he got shot like four times. The results of my swim were pathetic, I still hurt really bad,lol. Anyways, that night I went to bed early, getting of course no sleep. I was literally awake all night just laying there thinking about all the things that will happen. I got up the next morning and put my stuff in the car, and was ready to go. We drove to Cody's house because we were carpooling up there, that was \"sehr nett\", as my grandma would have said. I'll leave it up to you to figure out what that means, so even if you think this true story of mine is shit you can go away learning something new about the world. That car ride was a long one, the farther we went, the more nowhere we went. We began to see ocean and we knew we were close. Lucky for us we got to stay in a hotel the night before we actually went to bootcamp. That was definitly a intersting night,lol. It was mostly relaxing but it ended up in me sending my then girlfriend Allie a picture of me in the whitie tighties that were required of bootcamp of course, and my dress whites dixie cup hat (sailor hat). We all had a good laugh at that one, especially when I accidentally sent it to her mom's cell phone, but whatever that's a different story,lol. That next morning, it was time,to go. We arrived at Port Hueneme early in the morning. There were two guards with combat shotguns at the gates. We pulled up and they asked if we were there for bootcamp, and sadly enough we were. When the gates shut behind us it was like our lives ending. We reached a checkpoint that was Cody's and my stop. The Army Ground Infantry training for youth. When we stepped out of the car with our things my mom just drove away really quickly. I looked around and saw how vast this base was. In some spots there was green grass, and others pavement for cars and trucks. It was definitly different than Miramar. There were many others around as well, but we stuck together. It was Me, Cody, Joel, and Casey. There was a period of about ten minutes untill a man named PO Mathews approached us, took one look and starting screaming at us. It was nerve racking to have him screaming like that. He herded us into our bunker where our \"beds\" were. It was a big and hollow building that has been used even during WW2 times. We were all in a straight line and they asked one by one our name and birthdate. Then handed us PT shirts and our BDU's . We then were herded to the bunking area where all the \"beds\" were lined up in columns and rows. The bed I was assigned had blood, piss, and throw up stains all over it. I'm suprised it didn't smell like shit. The time we spent making our beds we also spent getting yelled at. We finally made our beds and afterwards our PO spent an hour telling us how stupid we are and how it doesn't matter if we live or die. Then we proceeded to the drill deck and spent a couple hours holding our arms out in front of us. For the first ten minutes it wasn't that bad, but as time progressed it started to suck really bad. Our arms were shaking like crazy, we looked like we all had epilepsy. All you could hear was the grunts and moans of pain as others struggled to keep it up. Then our PO said to link arms with the guy next to you, and obviously it got easier. He explained how no one can do it alone and how teamwork was absolutely necessary for everything. That night we took showers pretty early. We also learned of the infamous butt 2 nut formation. Imagine 20 some odd guys, all in whitie tighties, standing in a straight line so close to each other that the tip of your d**k was up against the ass of the guy in front of you. It was definitly a first for me. The water of the showers though, was actually warmer than expected. I had to make the best out of a 45 second shower. After the shower of course we brushed our teeth and shaved, all in under 2 minutes. That night we just hung out for a little bit at each others bunk in our tight white t-shirts and PT shorts. We spoke of things past, like friends,family,girlfriends. Casey wouldn't stop complaining about how bad he wanted to see his girlfriend (who wasn't even that hot anyways). That first night Cody and I made a new friend, his name is Makin. He is the funniest Mexican Iv'e ever met. Oh yeah, did I mention that Joel was the only one out of us that was seperated. Me, Cody, and Casey= Alpha Company, and Joel was sent to Bravo all by himself with poeple he didn't know.
The next day we woke up bright and early, ran 4 miles in our BDU's and headed over to a classroom. In the classroom we watched a grip load of videos that showed poeple getting shot to death. Most of them were terrorists. We probably watched about 15 different videos of terrorists getting killed. After class we spent the rest of the day running and doing push ups while getting screamed at. One of my favorite times at this place was when we would have \"bathroom parties.\" I know that might sound faggish but it was when we would go to the bathroom, look at ourselves in the mirror, turn our covers sideways and backwards, unbutton our BDU tops and freestyle rap. It was the most relaxing time ever. Another relaxing time is when Cody, Makin, and I would just try to shit. We would just sit there and talk. Sometimes you could go and others you couldn't. It was because of our new diet and being scared all the time,lol. One of the kids didn't go in 8 days. They finally ended up using the \"silver bullet\" on him. It's a rod that shoots water up your ass until something comes out. Luckily no one I knew ever needed that treatment. Now I will tell you of the \"Mess Hall.\" It was one of the most depressing times. You just sit there quietly and think about all the stuff they told you. It definetly hits home. None of us were allowed to make eye contact during meals, or talk, or look away from our plates. My favorite food was probably the pears. Those were great, I would get like 4 of em. We would also sneak peanut butter packets from our MRE's into our bunker. We would pass the tube around at night. I would say \"come' on man, lemme hit that!\" and we would pass it in the dark.
During the majority of the other weeks we did field training and war games. There is not much to say about that except we were taught just the basics of combat. The model rifle I used was the AR-15. I'm pretty sure that gun takes .223 ammo.
I only spent four weeks but so many emotions and thoughts were shown to me. I actually reached a point where I couldn't go on. And it's humbling to experience that. It blew me away that I couldn't do anymore anything, especially push ups. My brain wanted to continue but my body wouldn't move. I can't ever stress on how strange a feeling it is. My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We were told, kill kill kill. They didn't want robots, they wanted indestructable boys that would grow up and serve the U.S. To be men without fear.
The weeks went by slowly but by graduation day I was different. I don't even remember how I was before bootcamp. I remember marching with my company out to our families and seeing them wave in admiration and pride. All along we thought this was a Navy bootcamp but we got put in Army bootcamp and I'm glad I did. Our PO made the speech and we went back to our bunks to say our final good bye's to our comrades. Cody and I were the first to get outside, and that was it. We are all still good friends. I plan on enlisting in the Army right outta highschool, college is over rated,lol. I might end up in Iraq but I count it with joy.

What our Customers Say about our Service
"I ordered a Christmas basket for a relative in Italy, as it was close to Christmas I was concerned that it would not be there on delivery date, as it turn out it was delivered the morning after the requested date, however I was aware that it might be a little late as it was stated on the order page. I am very satisfied with the service and my relative was very happy with the basket. I will certainly use this service again."

"I work for a company with international clients. I called to confirm the quality and contents of the gift basket, submitted an order on a Friday and it was delivered in Korea early Tuesday morning. Excellent communication through the whole process. They even called me to confirm that the credit card I used on the order was mine! "
Elizabeth - Ottawa, Canada - Dec 22, 2009
"We were looking for a service that could send a holiday gift to a friend of ours who lives in Bucharest, Romania. Experience has shown this is NOT an easy thing to do if trying to mail the gift yourself from the USA (and of course you are quite limited in what you can send from here to Europe, and of course there are Customs charges as well!). With Gift Baskets Overseas, we were able to avoid such difficulties. We picked out a lovely gift basket of goodies for our friend which we assume were sent from the U.K. thereby avoiding Customs fees and exorbitant shipping charges from the U.S. The gift basket arrived on time in Bucharest, and the delivery service there went the extra mile to find our friend who was not at the office that day to insure her gift was delivered. She was very excited and pleased and so are we."

"I would go so far to say this is the best customer care I have ever received. This is a very professional company, end to end. The follow up from the confirmation of the order to the delivered goods was perfect."

Lauren Graham comes back to the small screen this spring on NBC's "Parenthood" — check her out in the video below.
Graham has been cast as Sarah, the 38 year-old single mother of teenagers Amber (Mae Whitman) and Drew (Miles Heizer). She is the second-oldest child of Zeek (Craig T. Nelson) and Camille (Bonnie Bedelia) Braverman.
Graham took over the role of Sarah from Maura Tierney, who was forced to leave the show to receive treatment for cancer. We hope everything is going well for Tierney, but cannot deny we are excited to see Lauren Graham back on TV. We were big fans of her on "Gilmore Girls."
"Parenthood" premieres on NBC in March.

A Year in Twitter: Top Trends of 2011 [Infographic]Feb 21
2011 was a whirlwind year. And with the explosion of social media outlets like Twitter, it's been exponentially easier for us to keep up with what's been going on in the world. With everything from the Occupy Movement, to Osama bin Laden's capture, to the passing of Apple's leader, Steve Jobs, we've been able to stay informed and communicate with each other, down to the second.

Obama pardons turkeys as part of annual rite
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama has spared two turkeys from the brine and the oven, fulfilling the annual tradition of a presidential pardon for a couple of lucky birds ahead of Thanksgiving Day.
Obama pardoned Popcorn on the North Portico of the White House on a cold, drizzly day. An alternate turkey, named Caramel, also received a pardon, but it did not have the benefit of a face-to-beak meeting with the president.
"The office of the presidency, the most powerful position in the world, brings with it many awesome and solemn responsibilities," Obama began. "This is not one of them."
The two turkeys, 38-pound gobblers hatched the same day on a farm in Badger, Minn., were each up for top billing as the national Thanksgiving turkey. After an online White House crowdsourcing election, Popcorn won.
The event is usually an opportunity for droll commentary by the president.
Popcorn's victory, Obama said, proves "that even a turkey with a funny name can find a place in politics."
The turkeys will be on display at George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens through Jan. 6.
Later Wednesday, Obama, wife Michelle, daughters Malia and Sasha, and mother-in-law Marian Robinson volunteered at a local charity – the Capital Area Food Bank – distributing bags of sweet potatoes, onions, carrots, apples and small white boxes of the presidential M& Ms.
"Tomorrow, as we gather with our own friends and family," Obama said on a serious note, "we'll count ourselves lucky that there's more to be thankful for than we can ever say and more to be hopeful for than we can ever imagine."

Newt for 2012? No, thanks.
The most prominent GOP endorser of radical leftist NY-23 congressional candidate Dede Scozzafava is openly musing about running for president in 2012.
No, thanks:
Callista and I are going to think about this in February 2011. And we are going to reach out to all of our friends around the country. And we'll decide, if there's a requirement as citizens that we run, I suspect we probably will. And if there's not a requirement, if other people have filled the vaccum, I suspect we won't.
"They" shouldn't bother.
The conservative base is wising up and pushing back. And constantly invoking Reagan isn't going to erase the damage Gingrich has done to his brand over the years by wavering on core issues and teaming up with some of the Left's biggest clowns.
Picture the cabinet:
Al Sharpton as education secretary.
Scozzafava as labor secretary.
Al Gore as global warming czar.
Noooooo, thanks.
A reader sends video of Gingrich "going Alinsky" on Hoffman supporters:
Related NY-23 news: Have you read about Scozzafava's scuzzy family business?
Conservative candidate Doug Hoffman in the NYPost on Sunday: Take back the party!
Still stuck on stupid: GOP officials: We won't abandon Dede
And from Gallup:
Conservatives continue to outnumber moderates and liberals in the American populace in 2009, confirming a finding that Gallup first noted in June. Forty percent of Americans describe their political views as conservative, 36% as moderate, and 20% as liberal. This marks a shift from 2005 through 2008, when moderates were tied with conservatives as the most prevalent group.
The Chicago Sun-Times covered my speech in the Windy City to Republicans:
Conservative firebrand and columnist/blogger Michelle Malkin came to Chicago on Thursday night to slam President Obama in his hometown and to slap Republicans who work with Obama instead of fighting him.
"Many of you fight not just the culture of corruption among Democrats but the culture of corruption that has paralyzed and plagued much of the Republican Party nationally and locally," Malkin told 250 members of the United Republican Fund of Illinois.
And Malkin made it clear to the crowd at the Hilton Chicago that she thinks Illinois and Chicago are "ground zero" for political corruption in America.
"You know the White House and its tax cheats, crooks and cronies better than anyone else in the country," she said. "You tried to tell your friends around the country, and they wouldn't listen, and now they're having tremendous buyer's remorse."
Malkin did not name any Illinois Republican candidates she considered disloyal or corrupt, but she said, "One of the problems I see here is you have Republicans candidates accepting money and support from some organizations that funded Barack Obama."
Malkin also took a shot at Education Secretary Arne Duncan: "There are some delusional mainstream conservatives who think Arne Duncan is a friend because he pays lip service to charter schools. Wake up and smell the radical socialism!"

Kristol specialises in bizarre pastimes - mud wrestling being another - and he saw winning as a wonderful opportunity to deliver to the whole world his rendition of "Heartbreak Hotel". The boats stayed close, the blades clashed, both were warned and, with Kristol calling the shots, the possibility of seeing the 5ft 1in frame on the towpath complete with frantically gyrating pelvis stayed alive.
Unfortunately for Kristol, who is the son of a hotshot lawyer and an actress and was at Harvard University before arriving in the place of dreaming spires, it receded swiftly. This was not least because he was matched length for length, clash for clash, by his counterpart in the Cambridge boat, Kevin Whyman, who is some seven inches taller and six pounds lighter.
Whyman's background (Chester), not to mention his name, is not so exotic as the American's, but his hobbies - scuba diving and sky diving - would be a match for anyone's. As the blades clashed, and they threatened to do so ferociously six minutes or so into the contest, Whyman faithfully maintained his line and his strategy.
"When we were coming away from Hammersmith, I thought for the first time that we had the race won," he said. "That was a crucial period."
At Hammersmith the gap was still only two seconds, but it rapidly grew thereafter to seven, which is where it stayed. "Going towards Hammersmith it was still very tight and they were moving up on us," Whyman said. "Afterwards it was just a case of keeping up the motivation and getting to the finish." He made it sound so easy.
But this still left the key question unanswered. Kristol had promised Elvis, what was Whyman prepared to offer? With a name such as his you might have thought something from the Rolling Stones canon, but he considered a while and said: "Well, you have to wait and see but I'd have thought I'll simply have to do a better Elvis. It'll have to be 'Heartbreak Hotel'."
Conditions, it had been reckoned, were not conducive to record-breaking, the wind having changed. This turned out to be correct, but only marginally so since Cambridge were a mere 13 seconds outside the 1984 best. They won with a solitary American in their eight, compared with Oxford's four plus one Canadian. Mind you, the one was Ethan Ayer, who was declared on the morning of the race to be the tallest man ever to row. Throughout the preparation he had been 6ft 81/4in, one quarter of an inch smaller than Gavin Stewart, but an extra half an inch was found from somewhere in the remeasuring .
The gap between Cambridge and Oxford was much greater yesterday, and Todd Kristol may even have thought of resorting to one of his other less arduous pastimes - tiddly-winks.

Find Mark Bosworth
For ninth edition of Bike There map, Metro chops print price to $6Wednesday, April 22nd, 2015
The definitive regional bike map has been updated with lots of new routes and a significant price cut.
Metro's Bike There! map, published since 1982, will release its ninth edition next month in the first update since 2010. There's a lot to keep up with: the number of mapped bike routes in the Oregon side of the Portland metro area has shot up 71 percent since 2010.

Family to launch 'Mark Bosworth Fund' at Cycle Oregon event tonightTuesday, February 5th, 2013
See the press release below for information about a new scholarship fund in honor of Mark Bosworth, the Cycle Oregon volunteer who went missing while working at the event in 2011 and has never been found. The fund will be launched at the Cycle Oregon 2013 route announcement event in Beaverton tonight.
Contact: John Miller, 503-866-6518
Family launchs the Mark Bosworth Fund at 2013 Cycle Oregon Kickoff Party
At the 2013 Cycle Oregon Kickoff Party on Tuesday, Feb. 5, family and friends of Mark Bosworth will launch a fund in his name that will send fellow cyclists to Cycle Oregon, a yearly event near and dear to Mark's heart.
The Mark Bosworth Fund will sponsor a first-time rider in Cycle Oregon each year. The fundraising goal is $30,000 for this year, with nearly half of that already raised. The money will cover the fee for the week-long Cycle Oregon ride, including meals and the tent and porter fee. The application process for candidates, fundraising efforts and a new website – www.markbosworthfund.org – will be announced at the 2013 Cycle Oregon Kickoff Party at Nike's Tiger Woods Center. Doors open at 6 p.m. Spots on the annual ride fill up fast, but Cycle Oregon organizers will hold one open each year for the Mark Bosworth Fund. Applications for the Bosworth fund for this year's ride are due March 15. The application can be downloaded at www.markbosworthfund.org.
Mark, an avid cyclist and longtime Cycle Oregon volunteer, vanished on the night of Sept. 16, 2011 near Riddle High School, the night before the final stretch of that year's Cycle Oregon ride. Extensive searches in the days and weeks following failed to turn up any sign of him.
"When Mark went missing from Cycle Oregon on Sept 16, 2011 we all thought that the nightmare would end soon," said Julie Bosworth, Mark's wife. "As the days and weeks stretched on and on until now we're into the second year of missing Mark, his disappearance continues to be a mystery. However, I know for a fact that Mark would love the idea of having his name attached to a scholarship designed to get a first-time rider to experience Cycle Oregon, removing cost as an obstacle. Mark was always fixing bikes, lending bikes, helping people to get on their bikes and to gain confidence on their bikes. The Mark Bosworth Fund is another step in what Mark loved to do his entire life."
Mark, age 54 at the time of his disappearance, had survived two bouts with cancer. His family and doctor believe the cancer returned, leading him to be confused and disoriented at the time he vanished. There's a $10,000 reward for information that leads to finding Mark. Anyone with information about Mark's disappearance should call the Douglas County Sheriff's Office non-emergency dispatch line at 541-440-4471.
Efforts to find Mark
• Following Mark's disappearance hundreds of volunteers and members of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office search and rescue team as well as other law enforcement personal conducted searches in and around Riddle.
• Posters went up in the area as well as at stops along main arterials from Northern California through Oregon and Washington.
• Billboards with Mark's photo and description were put up. Alerts went out to law enforcement across the country as well as truckers.
• Family, friends and strangers joined together to call 4,450 hospitals in the US in hopes of finding Mark.
• Outreach was done at cycling events.
• Renowned cyclists Lance Armstrong and Greg LeMond used social media to share Mark's story
• A website, FindMark.org, as well as a Facebook page and Twitter account continue to share information about Mark and the hopes of finding out what happened to him.

Volunteers and staff gathered in the World Forestry Center over the weekend to toast the past year and look ahead to the 25th annual Cycle Oregon.
At the front of everyone's minds was Mark Bosworth, the Metro employee and Portland resident who disappeared from Riddle, Oregon in September of last year while volunteering on the week-long bike ride.
Each year hundreds of people volunteer for Cycle Oregon and most volunteers have worked together for many years. Their is a strong sense of community among them and for many, Bosworth's disappearance feels like losing a member of the family.[Read more…]
Ride for Mark Bosworth – Photos and recapSaturday, October 1st, 2011

Entering second week, sense of urgency hangs over Bosworth searchFriday, September 30th, 2011
The latest news in the search for Mark Bosworth is that his suspected medical condition is likely worsening with each passing hour.
That sense of urgency has led to pleas from his wife Julie Bosworth for the public's help in stepping up search efforts. As I write this, friends, family and volunteers are calling hospital emergency rooms across the country in hopes that he might have turned up.

Bike ride for Mark Bosworth planned for this SaturdayTuesday, September 27th, 2011
The family of Mark Bosworth has just announced a bike ride this Saturday to raise awareness of his disappearance.
Bosworth has been missing since Friday, September 16th and a massive effort to find him has been underway ever since. Mark's wife Julie Bosworth hopes the ride leads to even more visibility of Mark's disappearance. She says Mark loves to ride to Kelley Point Park from North Portland, a popular loop that also passes over the Columbia Slough and the Smith and Bybee Lakes natural area (you might recall that I recently shared photos and ride report of a very similar loop).
Here's more from a statement about the ride:
"The family feels the ride is a perfect way for people to show support for Mark, an avid bike rider who often bought his family bikes and biking paraphenalia for birthdays and special occassions. In fact, the family of four has 14 bikes in their garage these days."
Mark Bosworth is still missing: Updates on the searchTuesday, September 27th, 2011
(Photo: FindMark.org)
It's been a while since I shared any news about Mark Bosworth, the 54-year-old man who went missing from a Cycle Oregon campsite in Riddle on September 16th. While there are no solid leads or major developments to share at this time; there are several updates about the case that are worth your attention.
Since the search shifted gears and left the Riddle area, family and friends of Mark's have launched a massive online effort to spread word of his disappearance far and wide. There's a new website, FindMark.org, a very active Facebook page, and a Twitter account at @findmarkb.
Media coverage of the disappearance has continued and noted bicycle racing legends Greg LeMond and Lance Armstrong have both shared links about Mark's search with their hundreds of thousands of followers.[Read more…]
Mark Bosworth search Day 6 updatesThursday, September 22nd, 2011
Even after the large-scale, volunteer search effort in the Riddle area was downsized yesterday (not "called off" like I initially reported), the search for Mark Bosworth continues.
It's now been six days since Mark was last seen at a Cycle Oregon campsite in Riddle. The big development yesterday was the offer of a $10,000 reward for information leading to his discovery.

The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is pleased to offer a new resource for second grade teachers, a bibliography of grade 2 level trade books titled "Creating a Math Library for Grade 2 Children: Connecting Math and Literature."
This bibliography lists a selection of math books that address the five strands presented in the Mathematics Curriculum Framework: number sense and operations; patterns, relations, and algebra; geometry; measurement; and data analysis, statistics and probability.
From Actual Size to Tally O'Malley, these books that are aligned with the grade 2 learning strands not only introduce and teach math skills but they inspire children to learn and to have confidence in their own thinking. In integrating literature with math, the books easily engage students using colorful illustrations and real life situations to stimulate and deepen the learning of math concepts and skills. By using the books to introduce math concepts, students are excited to learn and often think of extensions for the learning such as acting out the story or creating poems related to the math. Many of the books offer art appreciation and science integrated with literature and the math skills.
Teachers may wish to create a math library in their classrooms or include these books in the school library. The books may be sent home for students and parents to share to deepen student learning and promote the "love of math!"

Following are details that you'll want fresh in your mind today as you register.
::My Class Formats::
All classes are delivered via password protected blogs. I love this format because with a blog you have access to the class at any time and from anywhere, with an interactive format that allows me to publicly answer questions. Blog posts go up regularly as the class progresses. Students are also encouraged to use a free Flickr account to upload photos of their projects to the Stitched in Color flickr group. This group is a great way to see what others are making, form friendships and ask questions of your fellow students in the discussion threads!
Both Color Intensive and Angled includes a PDF eBook of the course (delivered at class conclusion) for $55 now through January 7th. After early registration week, the regular price is $65.
Your access to the class blog will remain open 30 days after the last day of class, during which time I will continue answering questions. After those 30 days, the blog will be closed and you will no longer be able to login. This provides much-need motivation for us to get everything we can out of the class in real time, rather than leaving it open ended for "someday." Remember though, you'll have an eBook for your continued reference, so you can still enjoy any projects you missed!
Since I know someone will ask, it is possible to do both classes since Color Intensive is not as time consuming as some of my other classes. But, doing both would keep you very, very busy! My classes are chock full with lots of material to make them worth your time and money. Still, if you want both classes, enrolling in both would give you access to the materials, which you could complete at your own pace.
::Color Intensive::
This workshop is an experience, not a "do" list. I want to teach to you see what I see and to give you a rich new vocabulary for color. The language of color is critical, because what we cannot describe we cannot fully know, recreate and transform. Above all, I want you to move to a place where color expression in fabric is instinctual and joyful and personally authentic.
Workshop Content
Just like dancers spend time warming up, you need to have a comfort level with color so that you can create more freely when sewing. Our workshop will explore these 5 themes over the course of 5 weeks:
::Color Emotions:: discern Warm vs. Cool colors, the impact of Seasonal Palettes and how Color Psychology can enrich our work.
::Color Theory:: understand the Color Wheel, Analogous, Complementary and Triadic color relationships, discover how to make Rainbow Blends and all the different Types of Rainbows.
::Neutrals:: strategies for choosing Black, White, Brown or Gray, about Shades vs. Tints, the impact of Value and how to make interesting Monochromatic works.
::Color Mixing:: how Context affects color, creating a Color Story, getting the Right Ratios, how to Source and Process Inspiration.
::Working in Cloth:: stashing Helpful Fabrics, avoiding Limiting Prints, what are Key Ingredients in a lively fabric pull, how to Create a Balanced and Refined collection for a large project.
Each lesson includes actual fabric and sewn examples to demonstrate these color concepts in a very tangible way. When it comes to color, we're all visual learners!
You'll interact with course material via a weekly Color Intensive Mosaic Contest, which will challenge you to put ideas into action with actual fabric, while also learning from each other and from my commentary on mosaic finalists. And, yes, mosaic winners win fabric!
Each week's Friday Assignment is designed to take you further, with practical application in fabric. Three of these projects suggest you do some sewing, while the other 2 do not. Sometimes just arranging and evaluating fabrics provides more time to learn about color than actually sewing.
Alongside "lecture" posts on the above themes, Color Intensives includes my Color Catalog. The Color Catalog is a visual collection of my favorite color schemes, color by color. In regular installments I'll post photos of delectable fabric groupings with 4 each for every main color: pink, red, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue and purple. Anytime you need a quick color pick-me-up or are searching for an idea that includes a particular color, you can refer back to the Color Catalog to jump start your projects!
Bonus Quilt!
I couldn't resist! Each of my previous classes has included a pattern for a special quilt. I know you enjoy these patterns, and so I had my thinking cap on while designing Color Intensive. Turns out that the Ikat Napkins design is so much more than a napkin...
With savvy value choices it becomes a beautifully intricate quilt! Color Intensive includes the pattern to machine paper piece or traditionally piece this twin-sized quilt. You can alter the finished size for your needs by making more or less blocks!
This 9 week course runs January 18th through March 18th. It's 5 weeks of instruction spread out over 9 weeks time to give you room to grow. I've designed this course for the confident beginner or intermediate quilter. Prerequisites are basic cutting and piecing skills, with experience sewing rectangles, squares and rows. The class has 3 main elements:
::Design Skills:: understand how to incorporate equilateral triangles, diamonds, half square triangles and flying geese into your own original quilts
::Scrappy Skills:: enjoy using triangular scraps from our projects in playful, liberated quilt blocks, with the option to donate your blocks towards collective charity quilts
This is a class for quilters! It's for developing quilters, ready to stretch their wings beyond the basics. It's for more experienced quilters, interested in expressing themselves in original designs or curious about liberated piecing. It's for all lovers of traditional quilt blocks, young and old. And I hope it will be for you!
What's Included?
With Angled at Stitched in Color our focus narrows to the quilt-making skills of piecing and design. The class includes 5 original quilt patterns (4 throw quilts, 1 queen-sized quilt) and an additional 5 liberated, scrap-utilizing blocks. Each lesson week begins with design/piecing information, followed by a quilt pattern that uses the week's angle in a creative way. I'll also point out classic quilts that you can make with your new-found skills. Each lesson week concludes with a lighthearted liberated triangle block. We'll mess around and have some fun!
Since I know someone will ask, it is possible to do both classes since Color Intensive is not as time consuming as some of my other classes. But, doing both would keep you very, very busy! My classes are chock full with lots of material to make them worth your time and money. Still, if you want both classes, enrolling in both would give you access to the materials, which you could complete at your own pace.
Take that, triangle scraps!
I suggest students choose 1-3 favorite quilts to make during class, but read along with all concept posts to absorb the quilting principles as we go. Don't worry about what you skip, since all students receive a pdf eBook of the entire course. Return to Angled via the eBook to access patterns and concepts later on!
Let's take a look at the quilts of Angled Class...
Indian Blanket - a playful study in equilateral triangles.
Emerge - a really, truly easy lonestar quilt composed of 45 degree diamonds.
Starbright - an entirely machine pieced 6-point star, relying on a clever combination of triangles and diamonds
Cascade - at twist on the classic flying geese block
And Tangential, a cumulative queen-sized quilt, utilizing all the skills we'll study during class! Each week you can make an installment in this quilt, while practicing the week's skill. This is your chance to make a masterpiece for your bed, a fantastic surprise for your parent's anniversary or a very special wedding gift.
I hope that you find yourself inspired to learn and sew even more in 2016. For even more info on the classes themselves, please see the Class Encore info post. Alright, that's everything! Please join in. We're going to have a blast!

Nuri Sahin could leave Anfield this month as Liverpool look to offload the player and free up the wage bill.
The Turkish international is at the club on a season-long loan deal, but has failed to impress, making just seven appearances in the league and scoring one goal.
While Liverpool are hopeful Real Madrid may take him back early, they could be helped out by Inter Milan or Borussia Dortmund who are both interested in bringing the player in during the current transfer window.
Dortmund's director of sport Michael Zorc said the Bundesliga club, with whom Sahin played before joining Real, were monitoring the situation.
"Of course we are following Nuri's career - he's one of our lads," Zorc told the Bild newspaper.
"We said to him back then (when he left), if Nuri says that he wants nothing other than to play in Dortmund, then we will deal with the issue.
"But it has got to be manageable, and nothing has changed in that regard."
Inter are also reportedly keen to strike a deal with Real over a possible loan for the rest of the season, although that could be dependent on Wesley Sneijder exiting the club.Reuse content
