What? you should really know better. You usually have more MMO knowledge than this.
The first MMO ever was already in 3D,it was called Meridian 59 and released early 1996 (I played it). It invented stuff like the trinity and the skills on cooldown thing.
It also invent the grind, but I blame monthly fees.
And OP should also know better, both M59 and the realm (that released mid 1996) were over a year before UO and both clearly MMOs, both had in fact a lot more in common with modern MMOs than UO.
I remember my first MMO quest in M59, I was to kill 10 rats in the moat.... Did that a few times since.
EdiT: Lol, I forgot the whole point.
M59 invented grind, but I think most of it was because of the monthly fees, not anything else. The longer you play the more they earn, singleplayer games never had anything like that.
Agreed. The grind was a direct result of the monthly fee (which by the way got me everything including expansions in Lineage). However, grind also kept people interested and playing despite the monthly fee. There were some severe penalties in Lineage which could set you back weeks or months and eventually succeeding felt great. If it all had come fast and furious with "instant gratification" then people would not have stuck around; the community would not have developed, and yes people would not have stayed subscribed.
The result of the subscription grind created a more persistent longer lasting world that morphed more slowly over time.
The latter can't seemingly be achieved without the pain those negatives that are associated with grind. It's a double edged sword, but by removing the pain we've also removed a lot of what is enjoyable about MMORPGs.
(Ok, turns out my double post was not a double post and it lost my original post.
So instead, I'll summarize because I'm not retyping.)
Best article ever. Thank you, I feel the same
WoW was the game I was playing when the lightbulb came on, and the event that catalyzed the grind-fest, beginning-of-the-end lightbulb for me was the introduction of Dailies.
Until dailies, you were questing, exploring, maybe RPing, helping guildies, gathering raid mats - all things that were useful or necessary in the context of the way you played WoW. But with dailies, it was really apparent to me that this was a time sink. And honestly, I was floored to discover that some people really like it.
I already have a job that requires me to put in far too many hours. I value my game time and want it to be full of fun things, or at least useful ones. So when dailies were expanded and achievements were added, it was a death knell for me. For all those that love those grinds, more power to ya. But for me, I'm looking for immersion via story and exploration rather than time sink via grind.
Grind was awsome whne you were doing it for a purpose or to socialize, like ff11 but since wow intruduced those damned dallies ..it has become a grindfest ...I hate dallies but if you don't do them you lose a stat,ittems, etc
www .getrid ofdallies.com lol
The grind predates MMOs. Thirty years ago, I was crunching how many d8 hp orcs it would take to reach level 18.

And sure enough, nothing new or interesting has been said. Different People Have Different Tastes, news at 11!
Ok, actually, I did see one thing new, Meltdown's take on why grindy gameplay fit with the design of UO/EQ.
The genre changed because the playerbase changed when WoW drew in non-MMO gamers.
Without knowing number (or having any real evidence) I would be willing to bet a large sum that the majority of UO and EQ players also played pen 'n' paper RPGs.
I'm willing to bet a far larger sum that most modern MMO players haven't and wouldn't ever play such games.
The RPG players were not today's gaming generation of immediate reward and sense of self-entitled wannabes. We were (and are) willing to work for our reward, willing to risk death (there is no risk to death now), willing to help strangers and, importantly, looking for more than jusrt a 'game'...
Every mmorpg or level based game is a grind; grind xp, grind gear, grind tradeskills, grind instances, grind raids.
But grind is a state of mind, and if the game is rewarding enough the grind feels like progressing, while if the game is not quite the thing, grind becomes a bore. I always loved a good grind, where the persistant player is rewarded and the impatient unsubsribe. In these games I meet most like minded players, and what is a game without other people to interact with.
on a side note. OP you failed to mention Vanguard, which was also based on good roleplaying principles, they just couldnt quite meet their own high standards in the end... that was the last mmorpg released trying to be a roleplaying game.

Fairly bad, flawed article imo. It tries to pass off the "new grind" as if it never happened in MUDS or UO. Which grinding did infact happen in both. Playing a MUD in its own right was a grind.
What the article could have/should have been is WHY he doesnt like the current grind and what he did like about the old grind.
Opinion articles are fine. But there is a fine line between an opinion article and someone trying to state opinion as fact.
I to prefer the old style of grind. But it was a grind all the same.
OP, thank you for a great article. You sum up how I feel. Also thanks for tipping the hat to Precu SWG. The game was not perfect, but for many of us it was an immersive home for awhile.
I have not been playing mmos much lately. I did subscribe for a month to Tera because I wanted to experience the combat mechanics and beautiful artwork, but the game design did not hold my interest.
Holding out for the next sandbox. I may try a themepark here and there (maybe GW2), but I'm enjoying games like Skyrim and Fallout 3 New Vegas until something good comes along.
Are you really asking the question of how these games became a grind? Well, I can going to sum it up in one word.
Each and every one of these wonderfully crafted games are created by a company that are backed by investors who think they are going to make a lot of money. Nothing runs on handshakes and hugs here. The whole dynamic of keeping a user base that will continually subscribe or prescribe to their games is built on progression, socializing, competition, and the human desire.
I want to get (insert game here) so I can be a (insert macguffin here) and be the best at (insert activity here).
Same thing applies across different gaming cultures whether it is a social media game on facebook, a single player game or an MMORPG. Players run off desire to be better than the next guy that leads them on this merry road to achieve their ULTIMATE GOAL. Only to stop for maybe a second or two when they get it to move on to the next ULTIMATE GOAL.
The word addiction has roots in Latin for slavery. It is a surrendering of freedom for a habit. The habit of progression, or achievements or creativity. We all have our habits that we fall into while we play these games. The socializer, the crafter, the killer, the achiever all have their respective roles as much as the tank, healer and damage dealer. These are rooted in our chemical reaction center that fire off the impulses of pleasure as we partake in these activities.
All of them have a part in the communities that form MMORPG's and depend on each other in a weird form of codependancy. These game developers and publishers know this because they spend a lot of money on research so they can CAPITALIZE on it.
I hope this cleared some things up and I didn't talk too far over your head.
Thanks for the write up, it sparked off some neurons, electrons and protons in my head.
I was typing away and went to reread all that Andrew wrote, and realized the actual question asked was "What does the phrase MMORPG mean to you nowadays?". The name of this (new) column is what everyone is answering. Or am I mistaken?
I look again for the umpteenth time and am still not 100% sure. Not sure which to focus on, I guess I say this.
MMORPG's use of grinding isn't inherently a bad thing. ALL gaming is really grinding of some kind, but the intensity and repetition of the individual task for each player verses the reward/enjoyment is a personal variable. I enjoy the level grind in MMO's, and I think generally it is too easy in my recent MMO game experiences. Aion(2+years) and SWTOR(1year) are using alternate character progression to encourage players to keep subscriptions, which isn't the type of grind I personally wanted from an MMO.
Aion had ALOT of other grinding to advance, crazy numbers of kills for rare quest item drops. I blame that on lax enforcement of bot banning early on. Devs see people getting quests done too fast-items dropping in game too fast, natural response is slow it down but upping requirements. I admit that since NA release didn't have GameGuard, that didn't help the issue in theory, but I saw alot of bot action on china which DID have it...so /shrug.
For having writen so little, I sure have been sitting here a long time before someone yaps SWTOR hasn't been out for a whole year, i'm counting beta time too, for Aion I was on china servers while NA beta servers were down until NA live... and left it when I got SWTOR beta invite was recieved.
PvP > PvE
There are two types of grind:
1) I'm out of quests so I have to go grind for the next level so I can get more quests. I absoulutely despise this type of grinder.
2) Quest: go kill 25~50 mob x. As long as this isn't an endless repeatable quest, I'm ok with it. It at least gives me a feeling of accomplishment and moving towards a goal.
Yes, some repeatable quests is ok. But one or two quests only and you only have those two things to do for 50% of your level or more? Or worse no quests at all for the same? AAUUGGG! I've quit more games over that garbage than I can count. If I have a reason to grind (rare drop, normal quests, title, etc) I'm ok with it. If it's grind solely because the devs were too lazy to provide content, I'm outta here...
According to most gamers these days, "If you do it more than once, you're grinding".
Doesn't matter what it is; "Oh look, a mushroom - I'll pick it"... "Oh look, another one... but screw that, I'm not grinding mushrooms".

It was as much of a ROLE PLAY game as you wanted it to be. I suspect the author did not even play the game and is only intererested in demonising it through second hand experience and assumption. When you ask 'Why then is it that most of your time is spent killing massive amounts of 'enemies' without making a single dent in the storyline'? you show me you didn't understand EQ at all. Though it had a backlore, a pretty disposable one tbh, it was NOT about making an impact on an established story. This is you showing me again you fail to understand what you are blaming. Tell any guy that stood there at the moment of completing his epic he didn't feel like a goddam hero.
wow, awesome post there.
tho i do admit im with the OP on this. mmorpg's aren't what they're supposed 2 be and the industry has been filled with greed. and i blame the invasion of casual gamers since '09 that (:
casual gamer: omg dis gai kiled me he is OP nerf nerf herpa-nerf
dedicated player: learn 2 counter

And that has no hidden bias against a certain upcoming MMO whatsoever...
I fail to see what fast travel, all-player-healing and soloable content has to do with the degradation of MMO quality. All MMOs need some single-player content; it's what keeps us sane when faced with a particularly bad day of online assh*les. When you go too far along the spectrum though, player interaction ceases to matter.
Fast travel, healing and the levelling system are just utilities. Its the actual GAMEPLAY that matters - GAMEPLAY, which has seemingly come to mean "the most efficiently addictive set of actions that we can replicate from more successful titles".
I agree with several people above, and the article writer. Unless you make an MMO that is COMPLETELY player centric (such as EVE), or remove the model of levelling = power entirely, a Grind will be the primary method of character advancement. The genre as a whole seriously needs to break away from linear gameplay and levelling and return more to player-driven content if it wishes to evolve as a whole.
I'm really sick of the whole "There's a massive fanbase for X", or "Y would be a WoW-killer if it just had a chance".
There is no massive conspiracy waiting in the MMO playerbase.
There are no "sleeper-agent fans" waiting to convert once the X or Y is unleashed on the world.
UO itself was a grindfest. MMOs left the simulation side of their RPG nature (virtual world aka Sandbox) to adopt their nowadays standarized and mainstreamed arcade gameplay at the same speed that they left the level/skill-grind to jump into the gear-mill which at the end of the day it's just another form of grind.

Technically, it existed long before; several hundred single-player rpgs and several hundred MUDs.
There is no modern game set up with a decade as average time-to-cap.
The grind, I think, always existed to some degree. Most people did not notice it until they were years into living constantly within the same game. It is possible that games were just never meant to be abused by players to this extraordinary degree.
Is it the game aging, or is the player's tolerance for mid-90s (even late 80s) design standards? How many wild boars must Cartman kill to make love, not warcraft?
Yet--Andrew!? A thinly-disguised NGE rant? Still ?!!!??!?!!!! Just let it go already.
I read it exactly the same way.
So, regarding this article -- how is this news? It's an opinion piece, one seemingly uninformed, that seems like it could have been plucked from any of the many forum posts we see daily. Echoing back what the masses seem to clamor for is a great strategy for attention though...other than the fact that it is pure fluff.
I remember the term "Grind" and "Endgame" turning up in MMOs simultaneously. As soon as players began to talk about "endgame" in MMOs then suddenly everything that wasn't "endgame" content (epic raids or PvP) was considered "grind" content.
I've always believed that the original MUDs and MMOs were outgrowths of pen and paper RPGs. They were 3D representations of what every D&D player pictured when they rolled the dice.
As a result everyone who played went in with the mentality of playing in a persistent world to explore and adventure in. The fun was in going places and doing things with others. The trouble came when people began to hit the goal of level caps and ask, "What do I do now?" Well the answer was either level a new character (i.e. do the same things in the same places again) or fight the "world bosses" or fight other players. Either that or wait until the developers added new content and raised the level cap (usually once or twice a year).
I don't think there is a real answer to this problem. Even in life there is grinding. I go to work and grind to make money. I even have to grind faction with my wife sometimes. Its just part of the matrix. The only solution is for the individual players to stop looking at game mechanics as a "grind" to be raced through to get to the "endgame" and relearn to enjoy the enitre experience, just like you have to do in real life. Its not the goal that's fun. Its the journey. No Dev can program that.
Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.
LOL UO a grindfest? if you think that you never played or were the biggest noob of all time. You could roll a new toon an be capped in about 24hrs. Oh ya an you could go out naked and if yer skills were there you came back in some pimp gear. Or if you had crafters you could craft in about 10mintues that was comparable to some of the best looted gear in the game if you knew how to use it. Great article 100% right on teh money!!!!1337

The reason MMORPGs are grindy (repetitive) is because there's a limited number of things to do. The only things that change are environments and complexity of mechanics used to to do these activities. Change games to get away from the grind? Not likely. Most are rehashes of the same activities with changes in how the activities are done, but not the activities themselves.
You are overcomplicating it... What you mean to say is...
1. Kill something - open a box.
2. Run somewhere for a quest - open a box
3. See 1 and 2 combined.
4. Kill bigger stuff with the items from the boxes you opened in order to kill ever bigger stuff.
5. Repeat 4.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is MMO gameplay broken down.
Heaven and Hell is debatable - Karma is not.
Didnt read the article. but really it comes down to one thing: THe longer the grind, the longer people will sub or pay......
Reading the comments I think there is a misunderstanding of the main point of the article. I concluded this from hearing how many people are replying that they like grind because it gives them a sense of accomplishment; a feeling that they are working towards something.
So ask yourself - what are you working towards?
Some might answer endgame content. Well is endgame content really that good? Many of my friends who play games with a lot of levelling in it said that they stopped when they reached the endgame because the content was not very good, and their anecdotal stories are backed up by sub numbers. When you create a game and the player runs out of content they will stop playing the game.
Some answer the satisfaction of reaching the cap. Well if the game is designed so that everyone is supposed to eventually reach that cap then what have you achieved? The comments that highlight this are when you see people saying they like grind except when it is too slow to level you (because they lose that sense of accomplishment as they are not progressing), or that they say that it is too easy (because they lose that sense of accomplishment because they have not been challenged). But my question is even if the grind length / difficulty is right for you personally what have you really achieved?
That is the point of the article. You've achieved nothing, but the game makes you feel like you have achieved something. Now that's obviously a tip of the hat to the game, as it has provided an entertainment medium for you, but it has done so not by having let you achieve something but by creating the illusion of it. It deliberately slows you down from getting where you want to go.
Now this is not a themepark vs sandbox argument, because both styles of game equally do this. Character progression in many sandboxes is deliberately slowed down, with players opting to spend their time effectively trying to remove themselves from the world to their own small bubble to progress their character to a point where they were viable enough to rejoin. This is the same illusion of delierately restricting content from the player in order to increase sub fees (or for f2p to extend the life of advertising to you) by giving the player the expectation that things will be better just over the next hill.
Some games of course have evolved past this to a whole new philosophy where the restriction of later content has become the new content. It's quite ironic that there is now more content in getting to the 'content' that the disappointemnt of the 'content' (now dubbed endgame) has become a self fulfilling prophecy.
But why have levels at all?
Some people say it is to have a sense of character development. But levels is not character development because it has nothing to do with your character. You start off as a big muscly guy hitting things you end up as a big muscly guy hitting things, just in new inventive and more violent ways. In what way has your character progressed at all?
Some people say it is to give the player time to get better and to get used to the skills. By why should you need this via a restriction of skills? In particular there are certain skill combinations or ability choices that can alter your most efficient attack style which means eveything you learnt has to be relearned. And that can take a long time as your cognitive bias of anchoring makes it hard to give up old, once effective but now redundant, lessons you have learnt.
Some people just try to say that any argument along this line is just made from the ADD generation, and that you should be expected to work for your skills. They say that anything that just gives people what they want right away is inherently a bad thing. But in many games you effectively restrict the playerbase of those you are playing with if you string them out along a long time path. This is why many worlds end up only full of those on low levels (re-rolls and trialists) and high levels (capped vets). Even in sandboxes the perception of self viability can exclude these players from interacting.
The result is that you end up playing a very stale and formulaic game. Even ones that try some degree if innovation are often just polishing the same style. From being able to turn in quests without going back to the quest giver to large public quests that passers by can just join in (and ruin by upping the enemy count whilst being ineffective), it's the same thing.
The article is trying to address the lack of roleplaying in MMORPG. BEcause frankly there is none. I'm not talking about those who play in character all the time, but those that see the game as more than just abilities, stats and behind the scenes dice rolls. Now you'll never get away from that completely, because gamers love the stats - and that's not inherently a bad thing. But when all you present someone with is the focus of their stats then that's going to be their focus - which is exactly what levelling is. Notice how almost all MMORPGs will show you exactly where your character could develop? That it lets you plan your advancement and dangle what is over the hill of that next level in front of you. It gets you thinking and planning and wanting so that you stick with what you are doing. Even notice above how some people say that xp/level grind is a GOOD thing, but resource grind is a bad thing.
But notice how whilst doing this there is no story arc dangled ahead of you? Sure a quest might lead to a cool and unexpected case, but are people really thinking about what they might get story wise after the next quest, or what they might get character sheet wise? Even in the recent Secret World article where the author is talking about how cool the quest was they can't help but throw in a comment about the xp reward. My challenge is that a quest cannot be really cool until you don't even notice the xp reward.
And that's what grind is. Focusing on playing purely for advancement and not for the sake of playing. Sure if you enjoy the thing that you are doing then great. But you have to define grind as doing something for it's own sake. What the article is asking for is a paradigm shift. A move towards games where you are not playing just for the sake of your own character but because you are enjoying the story for it's own sake. Because you are interested in seeing how it unfolds. A bit like reading a book, but where you are the hero.
Hmmm... that sounds familar.

Northern Colorado jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first set and led by at least two points throughout the frame. Southern Utah fought off the Bears' first set point at 24-20 with a Lusia Angilau kill, but an echoing kill by the home side gave UNC the set 25-21.
SUU made the most of two opening Northern Colorado errors in the second set to take a 2-0 lead, but the Bears found their groove and rattled off five straight points to take a 5-2 advantage. Alissa Youart ended the UNC run with a kill, but the two-point margin was as close as the Thunderbirds came in the set, falling 25-15 in the end.
The Bears used another four-point run to start the third set and held the Thunderbirds to single digits through 18-9. Northern Colorado then used a pair of three-point runs late in the set to finish off the match 25-14.
Mikayla Dunford led the Thunderbird attack for the first time this season with eight kills on a team-high 26 attempts. Youart and Sariah Pelaez paced the Thunderbird defense with 12 and 11 digs, respectively and Taylor Heine led the T-bird block with four (0-4-1). Northern Colorado's Kendra Cunningham led all attackers with 11 kills on 28 swings.
Southern Utah will close out its 2013 season at North Dakota on Saturday afternoon. The match is scheduled to begin at 3:00 p.m. with live stat and live video links available online at www.suutbirds.com.

i dont think the part about unlocking the kyuubi is right, because if naruto thinks that he can handle the kyuubi in sage mode then what will he do when he is out of sage mode.
remember naruto can only use sage mode for a couple of mins and once sage mode is off the kyuubi will take over since he cant control it.
and naruto cant keep on calling pa ever min so that he can go into sage mode...
but i agree with u that its going to be "that jutsu" that j-man stated not to use!

SCENE IN TOKYO: Hatsune Miku Minivan in Akihabara!
Terrie's Take is a selection of Japan-centric news collected and collated by long-time resident and media business professional Terrie Lloyd. AkihabaraNews is pleased to present Terrie's learned perspective; we all could use another take on the news - here's Terrie's:
Nikon has just announced the release of a new DX-format DSLR camera, the D7200, to be released March 19.
The D7200 is equipped with an APS-C 24.2MP sensor, EXPEED 4 image processing engine, and a 51-point autofocus system called the "Advanced Multi CAM 3500II Auto Focus Sensor Module," originally used in a D750 camera.
RIKO Float Technology has successfully miniaturized a level switch capable of turning on and off as it detects the balance of liquid in a tank using a uniquely structured float. As a result, the company is able to supply level switches for all types of applications ranging from large to small tanks.

And if one could also get those photos published in a book and sell it for money, the gig would definitely crack the top 10. Well, someone nailed it.
Cut off a Branch, Plant it, See if it Grows!

Psalm 58
David reproves wicked judges—They go astray and speak lies.

France play on after Paris attacks but lose friendly against England
Dele Alli and Wayne Rooney scored as England defeated France 2-0 in a friendly at Wembley on Tuesday, four days after the attacks in Paris.
England controlled much of the action after a rousing national anthem that saw England fans sing "La Marseillaise" in support of the French.
Tottenham's Alli scored his first goal for England in the 39th minute with a sharp shot from outside the area that took a slight deflection.
Rooney, whose earlier opportunity to open the scoring skewed just wide, did find...

Pretty much awesome
"I am in love with these shoes! I wear a 7 and sometimes can squeeze into a 6.5. The size 7 fit me perfectly with socks. The low heel is flattering and comfortable. I actually find these more comfortable than regular chucks (which I find to be too flat). I haven't worn chucks in years so I'm happy this pair renewed my love for chucks. First time I wore these to class, I got numerous compliments and people asking where i bought them."

Not sized like normal converse
"Loved this shoe, but it runs a size small. All my other converses are size 9 and feel a little loose around the toe area. This shoe however seems to be a half size off. I am able to put my foot in the size 9 that I ordered, but it's tight in the toe area.Because these don't come in half sizes I recommend getting a size bigger."

I did have a very good Thanksgiving. I hope yours was well also.
Joe, It has been a while! I guess we just keep missing each other! How was your Thanksgiving? Went to Rabbi and Karen' s house for Thanksgiving! They also had friends and family over, too! It was great to see everyone there especially their young grandchildren! The youngest was funny, sword fighting with what looked like narrow PVC tubes! Went to my step-sister's wedding in NJ last week! That was a blast, too! She looked so beautiful and he was very handsome in his black tux, white shirt, and red tie! I have some pictures of it all if you want to check them out!

Every day, law enforcement officers face danger while carrying out their responsibilities. When dealing with a dangerousor unpredictablesituation, police officers usually have very little time to assess it and determine the proper response. Here, good training can enable the officer to react properly to the threat or possible threat and respond with the appropriate tactics to address the situation, possibly including some level of force, if necessary, given the circumstances.
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has stated that " in diffusing situations, apprehending alleged criminals, and protecting themselves and others, officers are legally entitled to use appropriate means, including force." In dozens of studies of police use of force there is no single, accepted definition among the researchers, analysts, or the police. The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) in its study, Police Use of Force in America 2001, defined use of force as "The amount of effort required by police to compel compliance by an unwilling subject." The IACP also identified five components of force: physical, chemical, electronic, impact, and firearm. To some people, though, the mere presence of a police officer can be intimidating and seen as use of force.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) in Data Collection on Police Use of Force, states that " the legal test of excessive force is whether the police officer reasonably believed that such force was necessary to accomplish a legitimate police purpose " However, there are no universally accepted definitions of "reasonable" and "necessary" because the terms are subjective. A court in one jurisdiction may define "reasonable" or "necessary" differently than a court in a second jurisdiction. More to the point is an understanding of the "improper" use of force, which can be divided into two categories: "unnecessary" and "excessive." The unnecessary use of force would be the application of force where there is no justification for its use, while an excessive use of force would be the application of more force than required where use of force is necessary.
A 1999 BJS report estimated that less than half of 1 percent of an estimated 44 million people who had face-to-face contact with a police officer were threatened with or actually experienced force. Other studies report similar statistics. It is these few situations, however, that attract public attention. Robert K. Olsen, former Minneapolis Police Chief and Past President, Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), early in 2004 called the use of force "the single most volatile issue facing police departments." He noted that "just one use of force incident can dramatically alter the stability of a police department and its relationship with a community."
Police department policies can have a significant impact on how force is used in street-level encounters, says a 2003 study by the Community Relations Services of the U.S. Department of Justice, Principles of Good Policing: Avoiding Violence Between Police and Citizens. And, the BJS Data Collection report mentioned above stresses the need for police executives to improve training of recruits and police officers on the use of force and the techniques for minimizing its application.
Police Training Model: In 1999, the COPS Office provided funding to PERF and the Reno (Nevada) Police Department to develop an alternative national model for training new officers that would incorporate community policing and problem-based learning techniques. The resulting Police Training Officer (PTO) Program addresses the traditional duties of policing in the context of specific neighborhood problems and includes several segments on the use of force. The PTO Program is an alternative to the 30-year-old San Jose Field Training Officer (FTO) Program. Many agencies are using the outlines of the PTO Program to develop their own in-house programs adapted to their particular needs. The program is available through Regional Community Policing Institutes (RCPIs).
Webcast: The COPS Office addressed the question of use of force at its Third National Community Policing Conference, Community Policing for Americas Future, in June 2004. In a national live webcast, a distinguished panel of police officials, educators, community and faith-based leaders, and the press discussed a hypothetical scenario in which a police officer uses force to subdue a suspect. In addition to conference participants who attended the webcast, more that 1,000 people across the country watched it on the Internet or by satellite and participated in town hall discussions afterwards. The webcast resources, panel biographies, and discussion packet were made available on CD-ROM. The contents of the CD-ROM are only available in the Resource Room.
In Guides & Reports, the COPS Office provides an extensive list of reports and studies on the use of force, and in Training & Technical Assistance, the PTO Program is described in detail.

All right. That's it. I'm going to get that matte polish. I was so afraid I'd mess it up, since matte sometimes looks downright ugly. Any tips on how to deal with a matte polish? Because I'm still slightly apprehensive. XDReplyDelete
URGH sometimes it's frustrating to be a indecisive girl. XD
i love love love this mani. i tried it a few weeks ago after i first saw it. unfortunately, it didn't look too great. i can't stand when my nails are long and mine are naturally more oval shaped than square :( but, i did get the effect a little bit!ReplyDelete
i just may have to buy LPOD matte. this is simply beautiful!ReplyDelete
I need to get that OPI polish... nice.ReplyDelete
Very elegant!ReplyDelete
i love this! it's so unexpected!ReplyDelete
I just found your blog, and love your tape method. Everything looks so clean and perfect!ReplyDelete
I had a question as to if you do your thumbs the same as the other fingers. Mine are more rounded, and I am not sure how the tape will look if it isnt square... any thoughts?
I am stuck inside due to snow; and am dying to go out and buy some tape to start practicing!!
This is so cool! Is there a trick to getting the tape on the tips to match the shape of your nails or is it just practice?ReplyDelete
I really have to get me some more of those matte polishes :) This one is niceReplyDelete
Lincoln Park After Dark was the polish I purchased a few years ago when I was JUST starting to get interested in polish. I wore it EVERYWHERE. I only wanted matte black nails or robins egg blue.:) This is basic for me.ReplyDelete
Lovely. I think I'm going to do this with a matte soon. I need to get LPAD Matte. I've wanted it since it came out but never got it.ReplyDelete
Ugh! I need to get my hands on a Matte topcoat... or some matte polishes.. I only have neons which you can only wear occasionally. I saw the Essie Matte topcoat at Target but I was with my mom and she wouldn't fuel my addiction.. sad face haha Looks beautiful.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your compliment on our twinner nails :) Your blog is my fav :)ReplyDelete
i keep wanting to buy this color but the shop i normally buy my OPIs from is always out of stock....I'm going to check again tomoro and if they dont have it still.....im going to get it online ;) its too tempting...your nails are AMAZING as always ;)ReplyDelete
Wow, that's HOT!ReplyDelete
I absolutely love this mani. You've so far convinved me of a lot of things, and wearing dark polish is one of them! I never used to wear dark colors either, but you make it look so elegant, that I find myself liking the dark colors the most~! But I can see why you get so many compliments on this, it is just awesome. I received my Essie Matte About You, which I love :-) And I got Nubar - Nubar 2010 - which are gorgeous flakies! But I do think I need OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Matte, because I notice you use it a lot and I love every mani you do with it~!ReplyDelete
Thanks you guys! This is and will always be one of my must haves!!ReplyDelete
Cammy, my best tip is to work fast. The matte polishes tend to dry faster.
Liter, yes I do my thumbs the same way as the others, I try to keep them more square to match :)
Mrs. Lacquer, yeah it really is practise, and having a squarer tip helps match the tape.
Crystal, oh YAY, I'm glad you got the Essie!! Can you believe I actually don't own 1 Nubar!?!?!?!Replies

I'm trying to figure out how to do the shredded black mani (from tip to cuticle).How do you cut the tape, and what order do you paint? I am FASCINATED by these. I am not a matte person, but you had me at the first glimpse on this shredded black mani!!! A tutorial???? Please?Delete
Love this look. The Lincoln Park After Dark always looks black in your photos. Yet whenever I go to the OPI website it looks like Eggplant colored. I love the black look. Are there more than one LPAD colors?ReplyDelete
No way! Nubar 2010 is stunning - you'd love it! Any reason why you don't own any?! lol I've found a lot of them on Ebay - free shipping too! The Nubar website quoted $12.46 for shipping, so I figure Ebay is my best bet. I am looking to get Reclaim (green holo) and Peacock Feathers (blue-purple duochrome, but there are SO many others I love from swatches. Their Sparkles Collection looks JUST like Milani One Coat Glitters! I plan to get the Milani (they are cheaper of course) but the Nubar collection has a couple gorgeous different color ones, like Hyacinth, Night, and Petunia!ReplyDelete
Maybe I'll persuade you into a few? hehe :-)
I really want to try this. I have a matte black and a purple...hhmmm.. if only I had the nail length to pull it off....ReplyDelete
Lauren, Thanks!! I def looks more black when you apply it. There is only LPAD Matte, Suede and the regular creme.ReplyDelete
Crystal, Nope, there really is no reason. I know....it's weird. I do really like Peacock Feathers, but I guess I'm just not completely wowed by them. I am also on a no-buy, well, kind of, lol.
Arlene, you should def try it! I think it looks great on all nail lengths!
This is gorgeous! I did it today, and love it!ReplyDelete
I am starting a French nail polish blog, and if you don't mind, I'd love to share your post, is it ok? (I'd translate it a bit, and put my own pics as well)
Wow what a fantastic combination! I love how shiny some of your manicure ares, yay!ReplyDelete
Itaelle, oh I'm so glad you tried it!! Of course you can share my post. Thanks for asking! I'll def check out your blog.ReplyDelete
Tamara, thanks, I owe all the shininess to SV :P
Well I can understand the no-buy after seeing your collection :-) hehe but I guess my collection is small enough that I'm just venturing out to all these amazing colors out there. My goodness their are so many colors!! My head is spinning!ReplyDelete
i love this! edgy and sophisticated at the same time!ReplyDelete
this is soooo beautiful and elegant! I really envy you for your nails ;)ReplyDelete
Crystal, Eeekkk, I've already broken my no-buy!! What is wrong with me *shakes head* oh well, lolReplyDelete
Sarah, thanks!!!
Caitlyn, Aww, thank you!! Don't though, lol, my middle finger nail, is not nice!
hahahaha :-) I know I would never make it on a no-buy...I just don't even try, lolReplyDelete
Yep, I think you're right, there's no point, I SUCK at no-buys, lolReplyDelete
Wow, such a great idea! I love it! I just discovered your blog, and I'm so exited!!ReplyDelete
Thank you Tattookali!!!ReplyDelete
I believe this is my all time fav....what a great idea! Matte with the shiny black...I'm off to try to duplicate, lol.ReplyDelete
Thanks Amy!!! I hope you try it and love it!!ReplyDelete

Did you just add shiny topcoat to the tips, not a shiny Lincoln Park?
Saw a clip on our local news which led me to your blog. Wow! Impressive! Love your stuff Chloe!ReplyDelete

As soon as I saw this I fell in LOVE! And decided I have to try this. Went to ULTA and looked at OPI Lincoln Park After Dark but it came out glossy not matte (as I wanted). Can you share what the OPI number is? Is it W42? Was there a special collection 'MATTE' or should buy the suede collection? Pls let me know! I can't wait to have nails like this!!! Again, LOVE IT!!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes it is from their matte collection. I don't know the number, because it's home, but it is vrey hard to find now :(Delete

Thank you for replying. I was able to buy the matte version of LPAD on ebay.Delete
Hi Chloe, I'm new to your blog and absolutely love it!!! You've got talent girl, I'll be busy for awhile trying to repeat so many of your beautiful nails, can't wait!! I've been trying to contact you via email but haven't gotten a reply so I'm hoping this way is better to reach you. I wanted to try the OPI LINCOLN PARK AFTER DARK matte mani w/ shiny tips but having a hard time finding the discontinued matte polish. I did buy ESSIE's Matte About You top coat and Seche Vites top coat and I did find OPI LPAD nail lacquer (not matte) and was wondering if I'd get the same look using the regular OPI polish with the Essie matte top coat and then seche vite for tips. Will that work? I think Ebay has the OPI matte form of LPAD for $27 and the regular OPI LPAD non-matte polish is selling for $7, so if I could get the same look just using the matte top coat I'll buy the $7 OPI. I didn't want to order either polish without your advice first. If you feel the look will be better with the actual matte OPI polish then I'll splurge. Basically I just want to know if the 2 polishes are the same color (matte and lacquer in LPAD)and if you feel the essie matte top coat will work or do you recommend getting the OPI MATTE polish. Please let me know. Any advice you have on that mani will be greatly appreciated. I'll keep it short in future writings, I promise. Keep up the great nails!!!Delete

Hello Chloe! This style is so chic!! I tried it today, with a matte top coat on Chanel polish (505 Particulière), then tape, then paint the tips with Sephora "Ultra shine top coat"ReplyDelete
Well, it ended not so well : maybe I put too much shiny top coat on the tips because a "crest" (kind of a little edge) appeared between the matte parts and the shiny tips...
Anyway, I'll keep on trying! :)
Thanks for your blog, by the way, everything is amazing! ;)
I have to do this........ordered the Matte polish and have the shiny black already.........do you use a top coat on this? Cannot figure out how you would. ThanksReplyDeleteReplies

I'm not sure I understand your question, but I think you would use the shiny polish then maybe tape and then a matte top coatDelete

Hi there, I recently found your blog and attempted to do the black matte with shiny tips but I am facing a problem. I used the matte polish and added clear top coat to the tips but now I have something like an edge where the shiny part is showing. I am not sure how to get rid of it since I can't use a top coat on the entire nail. I used tape to make the tips and have applied a really thin layer. Any suggestions? Also, how do you prevent the nail polish from running under the tape when doing designs? I always have ugly smudges when I remove the tape... I really want to be a bit creative with my nails, but these things are driving me insane lol..ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh! I saw this mani, that is, picture of it, on some site in Croatia. And I used it as an inspiration. And now I randomly come upon your blog, and see this among your popular posts! Life is awesome this way, I guess. Beautiful mani, beautiful!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 25, 2013 at 6:26 AM
This is amazing, love it. Apparently, others love it too and don't give credit to you....ReplyDelete
As soon as I found this kind of I fell inside ENJOY! As well as decided I have to make this happen. Attended ULTA and also checked out OPI Lincoln Recreation area At night but it came out shiny not matte (as I wanted). Would you discuss what the OPI quantity is usually? Will it be W42? Was there an exclusive series 'MATTE' or perhaps can buy the suede series? Pls let me know! I can't delay to obtain claws similar to this!!! Again, ADORE IT!!!!ReplyDelete

Where do you get your Opi black matte polish? Where did you get both of them for that matter....lol. I sure hope I can duplicate this, as well as many of your other looks. Do you have some sort of fake nail tips? They look to perfectly shaped to be natural. I have terribly short nails so I doubt I'll be able to do very many of your awesome looks. well done. :o)ReplyDelete

Cute Boots but Zipper is AWFUL
"I've been stalking these boots for several months hoping the price would drop. They didn't but I finally caved in. I really love the design but the quality of these boots is ridiculous when you look at the price. I spent 5 minutes trying to unzip these. I did eventually and zipping them back up took another 5 minutes. Unfortunately I couldn't unzip them and had to pull my leg out. They specifically get stuck at the bottom and the top where the strips are."

"these shoes look much cuter in the picture than in person. it looks a little tacky, a little cheap. i thought it would look cute over skinny jeans but maybe just leggings. and it is very narrow, so if you have thicker calves i would not purchase these. true to size"

Not what I expected
"I bought these boots because they looked nice on the picture. The beige color does look this light in the picture. It looks darker and therefore, does not look as good. The boot is stiff. All the straps, the back, and the front do not bend."

"These boots are great. Def made for girls with narrow feet and calves. Dressy and casusal at the same time. The mix of leather and suede makes it look more expensive/upscale. Very happy with this purchase. If your calves are bigger than 14 1/2" wide these are not for you. They are a bit stiff in the ankle, but loosen up a bit over time."
