WASHINGTON - Christopher Daignault has been fighting for six months what he says is a bogus parking ticket on a car he doesn't own and a license plate he reported lost in September of 2010.
The D.C. Department of Transportation (DDOT) ticket alleges Daignault parked illegally on Nov. 7, 2012, near a D.C. courthouse in Northwest.
Initially, Daignault believed the citation may have been correct because he writes tickets for the District and sometimes ends up in court. He requested that the agency he works for not be revealed, but WTOP did corroborate his credentials.
"When I took another look, I noticed the tags were my old ones. I lost those tags in September 2010 and reported them as lost then," he says.
DDOT also claims the vehicle cited was a BMW, but Daignault owns a Volkswagen. He filed for online adjudication with the D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles, submitting registration for his new license plate and a D.C. speed camera ticket showing the new plates. He explained that he reported the plates lost to Montgomery County police and the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA).
The D.C. DMV adjudicates tickets in the District, handling about 200,000 cases each year.
"I thought it would be a very simple dismissal. Clearly, I was wrong," says Daignault.
On March 15, 2013, hearing examiner Tonia Dansby wrote back to Daignault.
"A copy of the police report filed in reference to the theft was not submitted as evidence in support of this defense. This matter is continued for twenty (20) calendar days to allow the respondent to submit a copy of the official police report," Dansby wrote.
"The police report number is not sufficient evidence to result in dismissal of the ticket. Once the evidence is received, it will be reviewed and a final decision will be made."
Daignault wrote back on March 22, telling Dansby that the Montgomery County Police Department wanted to charge for the report. He attached receipts from the MVA -- Maryland's version of a DMV -- showing the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) being switched to a new plate in September 2010.
He asked the DMV to accept this proof and dismiss his ticket.
"I know the plate wasn't put on another car because I found the tag shortly after I reported it stolen and now it sits in my basement collecting dust," he says.
On April 10, the DMV wrote Daignault to tell him he was found liable.
Shortly thereafter, Daignault contacted WTOP. He was able to get a copy of the police report and a statement confirming the plates were reported lost.
"While I cannot verify if Mr. Daignault has ever had a BMW registered in the state of Maryland, I can state that there currently isn't one registered to him in Maryland or any registered to him since January 2012," says MVA spokesman Buel Young.
"As for his plates, our records indicate that he received substitute plates. This is the indication (we put in the file) when a plate is reported lost or stolen."
Young confirmed Daignault reported the plates lost in September 2010 and received the substitute plates shortly thereafter, although the agency failed to unlink the lost plates from his profile.
The Montgomery County Police Department report also confirms that Daignault reported the plates lost to Officer Sheila Hughes on Aug. 26, 2010, at 6:21 p.m.
On May 23, WTOP turned over these documents to the DMV to see if the agency would reconsider its original decision. While DMV spokeswoman Vanessa Newton acknowledged receipt of the documents, she said the decision against Daignault would stand.
"As we've discussed previously, this is an opportunity to inform WTOP listeners about the importance of providing supporting documentation when initially submitting a request for adjudication. Or, as in this case, providing DMV with the requested documentation within the stated time frame," she says.
Newton says the agency gave Daignault multiple opportunities to disclose the police report, but he failed to do so. In a May 28 email to Daignault, DMV Director Lucinda Babers also wrote that his appeal of the ticket decision did not come in time.
"According to our records, your ticket has been fully reviewed and adjudicated in accordance with D.C. law," Babers said. "Additionally, you did not submit an appeal to the hearing examiner's 4/10/13 decision within the required 18 days as indicated in the hearing decision letter. Therefore, the adjudication process is complete."
Babers has declined each opportunity to speak with WTOP since the beginning of its TicketBuster series. But she did comment to D.C. Council members Phil Mendelson, Mary Cheh and Jim Graham when they looked into the Daignault case.

On a day like today when there are a lot more people out walking, jogging and cycling, it is very difficult to be 100% courteous to everyone when you have to get to work and they're meandering all over the path in front of you.

I don't think we will see much difference in the Brown's game.
Football has been very, very good to us.
Even though 2013 was a losing season, we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Denver, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, New England
4-New York Giants!!!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2014 !!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
i think its nuts that its not more 50/50ish.. To be honest, i'm in favor of Brown getting the work untill he prooves he can't handle it.. The guy runs through holes hard and don't skip around... I appreciate bradshaw, and hes solid, but hes injury prone, and why not try and keep em alittle healthier?
Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l
Whatever the % are Brown should, IMO, get more than the 5 carries he had in the Eagle game.
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
During the Eagles game it seemed to me that Coughlin was pretty much trying to see if the running game had improved because of Brown, the offensive line, or both.. He had Bradshaw carry majority of the load to kind of see if Bradshaw could have the same results behind the same offensive line, which is the reason for the limited carries for Brown. Obviously that didn't work out. I'm thinking they'll split the carries around 40-40 between AB1 & Ab2 and put in a play here of there for D-Wil.

Nissan DeltaWing repaired and ready for action at Petit Le Mans
by Drew Phillips (RSS feed) on Oct 18th, 2012 at 7:19PM
After first watching the scary crash of the Nissan DeltaWing at Road Atlanta yesterday, we were worried that the one-off racecar wouldn't be ready for Petit Le Mans on Saturday. We needn't have worried, though, as the car has been quickly repaired by the Highcroft Racing Team in plenty of time. In fact, the car will be running in the night practice session later today and in the practice and qualifying sessions tomorrow. The quick turnaround is due to the fact that the crash didn't cause as much damage to the car as initially thought. Ben Bowlby, the car's designer, tells us that while the... Read More

We went to the show in Detroit and it was awesome we laughed the whole time. At times it was hard to hear what Heather was saying but overall experience was awesome.
[15 of 19 customers found this review helpful]
The show started late and Chelsea was only on stage a max of 40 minutes. She was mean and in a bad mood. Very disappointing bc we are all hard core fans who bought the tickets the day they went on sale. Josh Wolfe was awesome though. I would have rathered it if he would have performed alone. Not worth [$]!!
[26 of 31 customers found this review helpful]
I loved Chelsea Handler before going to her show Saturday night in Seattle. She has always been a favorite of mine, but her live show was absolutely terrible. She was so drunk that she couldn't finish a joke. She rambled on about nothing, mumbled, and was all over the place. I laughed hysterically during her opening act and then sat horrified for 98% of Chelsea's performance. It was a huge disappointment and not worth $7, let alone [$] I would recommend seeing her at 1:00 p.m. when hopefully she is sober. It was ridiculous.
[25 of 31 customers found this review helpful]
I love her show and have been a die-hard fan for a couple of years. Unfortunately, Chelsea was too drunk to be funny. I was actually glad that the show was very short. I go to a lot of comedy shows. This was not what I expect from someone of her caliber. What a disappointment!

Cubs blow lead, tie MLB record with five wild pitches for 10-7 loss to Giants
BY TONI GINNETTI firstname.lastname@example.com April 14, 2013 5:46PM
Article Extras
Updated: April 14, 2013 9:50PM
A "wild" game Sunday at Wrigley Field that saw Cubs pitchers throw five wild pitches in one inning and balk in the winning run in the 10th ended in a 10-7 victory for the San Francisco Giants. The five wild pitches in one inning tied a Major League record owned by two pitchers, most recently Rick Ankiel in 2000.
Reliever Shawn Camp gave up a two-out, game tying home run to Hunter Pence in the ninth to wipe out a 7-6 Cubs lead before his balk in the 10th allowed Hector Sanchez to score the go-ahead run.
The Cubs had five wild pitches, two passed balls, a hit batter and balk in a game with no official errors.
The defending world champion Giants took three games in the four-game series.
The teams traded leads from the first inning when the Giants scored once before the Cubs came back with four runs in the first off Giants starter Tim Lincecum on a pair of two-run homers by Starlin Castro and Nate Schierholtz.
The Giants scored four runs in the sixth on five wild pitches and four walks.
Starter Edwin Jackson, who had struck out nine, threw two of the wild pitches and walked two before reliever Michael Bowden entered, throwing three more wild pitches.
The Giants led 6-5 in the eighth before Anthony Rizzo doubled to start the inning. Three walks from Giants reliever Jeremy Affeldt forced in the tying run before Alberto Gonzalez hit a sacrifice fly for the lead.
Gonzalez also homered in the seventh, his first of the season.

God as Process Engineer: Creator, Sustainer, Reedemer, and Provider
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
"The Language of God" Book Club–Chapter 5
Does Collins show that Evangelicals have turned the corner on the scandal Noll brought to light, or does the continued resistance of the majority of Evangelicals to Collins's work (about 75% reject human evolution) show that we as a collective group still do not take the life of the mind seriously?
To Tame the World: What terrifies us about reality pushes us toward its Creator.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
The Father of Intelligent Design
"There was no better way, in Boyle's opinion, to 'give us so great a Wonder and Veneration' for God's wisdom, than 'by Knowing and Considering the Admirable Contrivance of the Particular Productions of that Immense Wisdom,' by which he mainly meant the exquisitely fashioned parts of animals both great and small."
The Challenge of Cosmology
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Belief in God in an Age of Science: John Polkinghorne, Part One
The world is not full of items stamped "made by God"—the Creator is more subtle than that—but there are two locations where general hints of the divine presence might be expected to be seen most clearly. One is the vast cosmos itself, with its fifteen-billion-year history of evolving development following the big bang. The other is the "thinking reed" of humanity, so insignificant in physical scale but, as Pascal said, superior to all the stars because it alone knows them and itself.
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics (4 entries)
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis (4 entries)
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling (3 entries)
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science (4 entries)
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution (5 entries)
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Decoding ENCODE (8 entries)
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Freedom and Grace in Tennessee
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design (5 entries)
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".

Feeling under the weather? Well, don't be quick to brush it off! The state Department of Health says thousands are coming down with the flu. Our Megan Cruz spoke with one doctor who says the outbreak has come on fast and strong.
TROY, N.Y. -- "High fevers, shaking, chills, body aches from head to toe, some people even say their hair hurts because their body hurts so much."
Just some of the common complaints Dr. Colleen Kelley's been hearing from her patients. She's the ER Director at St. Mary's Hospital in Troy. A sign she says the flu's in town, and this year, it's packing a pretty potent punch.
"A much higher number than we saw last year are testing positive, especially for Influenza A," said Kelley.
A trend not just confined to the hospital. According to the New York State Department of Health, the flu is widespread across the state with cases being reported in every single county. And since October, 15,000 people have been diagnosed with it. That's three times more people than last year.
But not just the number of people diagnosed with the flu has shot up. The number of people needing to be hospitalized for it did, too. Just last week alone, 638 people were hospitalized. That number up 50 percent from the week before.
"In fact, so many people were hospitalized during the holiday weekend that we were having trouble finding beds," said Kelley.
Signs you need more than just rest at home?
"Drenching sweats, people can't keep fluids down, lightheaded when they're standing, shortness of breath, or just have an overwhelming sense of illness," said Kelley. "Those are the folks we'd recommend come to the emergency department."
To stop this outbreak, Dr. Kelley says keep your hands clean, and...
"If you have not yet gotten your flu shot, go get it. It works, it's effective, and it does help," she said.
For those of you already sick, "Stay home from work, stay home from school," said Kelley. "Make sure to drink plenty of fluids, avoid alcohol or cigarettes, get in as many calories as you can to maintain your strength, and get plenty of rest."

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee head coach Butch Jones announced on Tuesday that Bob Welton has been named the Vols' new director of player personnel. A veteran of the NFL ranks, Welton spent the last nine years with the Cleveland Browns.
"We are extremely excited to welcome Bob & his family into our Tennessee football family," said Jones. "Bob brings a wealth of experience to our program and will be a great resource for our current players. He will play a vital role in aiding and overseeing our recruiting efforts to attract the highest caliber student-athletes to Tennessee. The experience he gained in his nine years in the National Football League and his time as a head high school football coach will serve our football program well."
Welton served as a college scout with the Browns from 2004-13. During his first two years, Welton was the team's BLESTO scout in charge of covering the Midwest.
Prior to joining the Browns, he served seven years as a head high school football coach. Welton spent the 2003 season with Coloma (Mich.) High School where he guided the team to its first undefeated season and first playoff victory in school history. For his efforts, he was named Lakeland Conference and MHSFCA Region 5 Coach of the Year.
Prior to Coloma, Welton spent six seasons as head coach at South Haven (Mich.) High School where he helped revive the program and rebuild the school's football stadium. Welton also served as head track coach at South Haven from 2001 until his departure. He taught physical education at the school from 1997 until 2003, when he began teaching special education.
Welton also has coached baseball and served as an assistant varsity football coach at Adrian (Mich.) High School from 1990-96.
Welton was born in Toledo, Ohio and grew up in Luna Pier, Michigan, where he attended Erie-Mason High School. He earned a bachelor's degree in physical education/health from Adrian (Mich.) College, where he played quarterback and was part of two MIAA championship teams. Welton did his post-graduate work at both Eastern Michigan University and Grand Valley State University.
Welton and his wife, Laura, have a son, Tye, and a daughter, Brooke.

Trace the history of the DEA and go behind the scenes of some of its pivotal cases in this sweeping look at America's "war on drugs."
They fight a critical battle on every front. From the small-time user to the large-scale producer, the DEA is charged with eliminating the scourge of illegal drugs in America. It is an uphill battle against powerful criminal cabals, the temptation of corruption, and America's troubling appetite for drugs.
From the origins of the Federal Bureau of Dangerous Drugs to the modern day DEA, this is the definitive look at the "war on drugs," and the men at the heart of the battle. Explore some of the landmark cases including the apprehension of a notorious drug "queenpin," and the brutal death of an agent in Mexico. Travel deep into South American jungles, where the DEA is taking the fight to the source, literally attacking the cocaine epidemic at the root. In revealing interviews, DEA operatives offer an up-close look at the tactics they employ and the dangers they face. And meet agents who have tarnished the DEA's image by giving into temptation and turning into the kind of criminals they swore to fight.

Hot on the heels of my recent third divorce, I get asked this a lot: "Why do you keep getting married?" My response is that just because you don't get something right the first time, it doesn't mean you should give up. It's like if you buy a dog, and the dog eventually dies, you think, "Well, I'll never buy another dog. They die." Not that spouses are like dogs. Unless, of course, they are, but that's the topic of next week's Dr Phil: "Is your man a dog?"
Some of my hipper Buddhist friends say in response to my admittedly disastrous romantic past, "Everything's impermanent," meaning, I assume, that these marriages were bound to end someday. Impermanence is often interpreted to mean that things end. I've had a lot of experience with things apparently ending, and I think that this is not true. Marriages may end, but the relationship doesn't. It changes. Sometimes even within a relationship, the changes can be radical. Sometimes these changes are survivable; sometimes not.
I've never been one to give up, on anything. Failure isn't an option. At age fifty I went back to college to finish a degree I left hanging thirty years ago, and begun seriously studying piano, the first music lessons of my life. I finished that degree, so now I have three college degrees, none of which are currently marketable but my head is full of all kinds of arcane knowledge.
Last semester my Italian teacher asked me if I was ever going to marry again. I answered, "Amo le donne," ('I love women,") and she laughed. "You will, then." And I might. I'm neither bitter nor disappointed. Furthermore, I'm in love. Like I said, amo le donne, I so amo le donne very much.


text: 5 Achieves the improbableMatty86 | 28/05/2007 | See all Matty86's reviews (11)This game manages to be refreshing and original as well as going back to its roots of simple 2d platforming. This game is simply a triumph.For anyone who can remember (and enjoyed!) the time before Mario turned 3d - this game is a must buy!For me, it's the little things that count - sound - all of the original sounds are back and I love it! From sinking in to a pipe to explore the dungeon below to the "Weyooo" sound of sliding down the flagpole at the end of the level.So, it's ticking all the boxes as far as "keeping it simple" is concerned, how about the "thinking outside the box".. uh, boxes? Well, you'd find many ticks in these too with all the new power ups now available to Mario. The first time you turn in to Giant Mario and charge through everything is likely to be an experience you will remember for a while!Overall, this is a superb return to form for "our Mario" and if you have a DS, you simply NEED this game!

It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either.Mark Twain
The Framers [of the Constitution] knew that free speech is the friend of change and revolution. But they also knew that it is always the deadliest enemy of tyranny.Hugo Black

The advance of freedom is the calling of our time; it is the calling of our country.

Everybody favors free speech in the slack moments when no axes are being ground.Heywood Broun
Without free speech no search for Truth is possible; without free speech no discovery of Truth is useful; without free speech progress is checked, and the nations no longer march forward towards the nobler life which the future holds for man. Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day; the denial slays the life of the people and entombs the hope of the race.Charles Bradlaugh

"pi the type"
I have now found the phrase "pi the type" in two different books and have an idea of the meaning from the context. I would hope to learn more about the meaning and how it might have originated.
Sort by
As I'm sure you're aware, pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, 3.14159.... It's a transcendental number, i.e. the sequence of digits after the decimal point is non-terminating and non-repeating. When pi is used as a verb, it means to randomize, to jumble, to reduce to chaos, similar to the randomly non-repeating nature of pi's digits.
"Pi the type" is a printer/typesetter's expression meaning to, say, take a form with all the type neatly arranged and ready for printing and then drop it on the floor, spilling the type so that characters are strewn all over, mixed up randomly. I suppose it might also describe simply putting type in a form completely at random, not necessarily spilling it on the floor.
As one who worked for newspapers in the old hot type days, I believe to "pi the type" or "pye" was to run one's fingera down the first two rows of the liontype machine to finish off a line of type and get the machine to spit it out. Operators could not back up to fix a mistake so they "pyed the type" to get rid of the spoiled line and start a new one. The spoiled type went back into a bucket to be melted down and reused. As a metaphor I guess it would suggest giving up on a lost cause and starting over.
To add to porche's comment, here is a definition from thefreedictionary.com:
pi also pie, Printing
n. pl. pis also pies
An amount of type that has been jumbled or thrown together at random.
v. pied (pd) also pied, pi·ing also pie·ing, pies also pies
To jumble or mix up (type).
To become jumbled.
My speculation is that the term does not derive from the mathematical term. I seems more likely to have derived from "pied," an adjective meaning "of two or more colors in blotches; also wearing or having a parti-colored coat. example: a pied horse" (Merriam-Webster)
Or a pied piper, for that matter. Merriam-Webster dates the word "pied" to the 14th century. The printing press, specifically movable type, came in to use in Europe in the mid 15th century. Perhaps the word was picked up by early printers as a substitute for "jumbled," another 15th-century word. Maybe they appreciated its economy of letters.
See <http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=pie&...
(1) The notion that the phrase "pie (or pi or pye) the type" has anything to do with pi the number is dubious, to say the least.
(2) I doubt that "pi" as a verb was used outside the typesetting fraternity.
(3) Pi the number is irrational and transcendental (in the mathematical sense), but that has nothing to do with randomness.

Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism ordered that the Nouvoo Expositor and the press it was created on be destroyed. "PI the type into the street" was the ordered and the type was pied that same day in June 1844 setting off a chain of events resulting in Smith's death by angry mob. I'm not sure if Linotype was around yet. Single letters of metalized type certainly were and were not easy to sort back into neatly organized upper and lower cases.

When a compositor (one who sets type in a composing "stick" let the neatly set type fall, it becomes "pi." I have always thought of it as in making a pie by mixing up ingredients--apples, raisins, cinnamon. The jumbled type is then thrown into a "hell box," and I think the origin of that is pretty clear. After the typesetting is done, an apprentice may be set to sorting pi back into the proper type drawers. In the days before the Linotype and other typesetting machines, it required a lot of typesetters, broadly called "printers" although they may never get closer to the press than delivering type to the compositor's stone table, to prepare a daily newspaper. So in the 1850s-70s it was a job for a large number of high school age boys, much as being a gas jockey was in the 1940s, or a fast-food clerk (which included high school age girls) in more recent years.

Southern Exposure: A New York Apartment by Courtnay Daniels Haden
Perhaps it's not surprising that when a couple of Virginia transplants move into a SoHo loft, more than a touch of gentility comes along as well
By Nancy Hass
At Home in SoHo
Seven years ago, when Christopher Daniels moved from Charlottesville, Virginia, to New York City to live an artist's life, he telephoned Alice Childress, the only person in the city he knew from his hometown.
Childress, who is now Vice President, Advertising and Creative Services at Vera Wang, had moved to Manhattan a year before. The two had gone to the same high school for a couple of years, and, even though the budding artist remembered that the fashionable young woman with the silky cascade of hair had "never given me the time of day," he figured it would be nice to be in touch with someone who shared his genteel Southern upbringing. It didn't take long for them to realize they were perfect for each other.
In 2011, after several years of living together in an Upper East Side "classic six," they married and purchased a 1,500-square-foot loft in SoHo. With the help of Daniels's sister, Courtnay Daniels Haden (415-269-0737), a San Francisco-based interior designer, they've brought a bit of uptown style with them.
"It might be hard to believe, but working with family was wonderful," says Haden. Her brother and his wife "have a fantastic eye," she adds. "Although they're young, they have really sophisticated ideas. They wanted something that would endure."
Alice Childress and Christopher Daniels near their loft in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood. Design by Courtnay Daniels Haden of Courtnay Daniels Haden Folie Design.

Friday Discussion: What's Your Favorite Supers/Superhero RPG?
This week's topic is in regards to a genre not enjoyed by everyone, but a very prolific genre nonetheless.:
What is your favorite Supers or Superhero RPG? What do you like about it in particular (or in general)?
I've been amazed at how diverse the answers have been on a lot of these questions—it doesn't seem like any two responses are alike! It really reinforces the fact that this is a diverse hobby in terms of tastes. Have a great weekend, and game on!

Hands down, Mutants & Masterminds (2nd edition) is my choice. I find the system to be extremely flexible and able to support many different levels of play: from agents and spies all the way up to world-shaking "Omega" class superheroes.
The main book and 90% of the supplements are very well written and edited, and the art is wonderful and evocative of the genre.
My only complaint is that it can take a lot of time to build a balanced opponent for even standard-level (PL 10) heroes.

I haven't played a Superheroes RPG in many years, but I have plenty of fond memories of the Marvel Superheroes game that TSR put out. It coincided with my own interest in comics (which proved to be somewhat short lived, but that's all to the better as far as my wallet is concerned), and the whole Secret Wars thing, etc. As I recall, it had that terrific universal table for determining who could do what, which was innovative at the time. Other games like Champions always felt a little fiddly in comparison.
- April 3, 2009 at 7:47 AM
- Stephen said...
Marvel Super Heroes (TSR, 1984 and 1986).
Still my favourite rules-light system, with the Universal Table and naming of attributes (Typical, Amazing etc) seeming revolutionary to my then-young mind.
The 'reboots' that came after (SAGA System and Marvel's own take) never took hold like the first system. I owe Jeff Grubb & Co. a lot for that game.
I've played almost every other superhero RPG, although I will admit to ignoring M&M because (and correct me if I'm wrong) it'd require me to buy D&D rulebooks. Which I really don't want to.
- April 3, 2009 at 7:50 AM
- chemlak said...
Mutants & Masterminds wins this, for me (not that I'll stop buying others, naturally).
It's flexible, doesn't require a calculator, and it's pretty darn easy to understand.
And no, Stephen, you don't have to buy D&D to have the rules - the core rulebook covers everything.

I put myself squarely in the 'none' category. I was never a comic book reader, so the appeal of supers was kind of lost on me...

I've always liked the MSH / FASERIP system. I wanted something a bit more tactical though, and after talking to a bunch of people I've decided to give Savage Worlds a try for that (thinking about either Necessary Evil or Dawn of Legends to go with it).
- April 3, 2009 at 8:54 AM
- Dane of War said...
TSR's Marvel Super Heroes. I've seen it criticized very heavily as being "boring", "underwhelming", and "blasé" - and I highly disagree, countering with the notion that the critics were possibly too young to be enjoying it in the first place, therefore souring their memories.
Although simplistic by today's standards, I feel that MSH is the yardstick to which all superhero games should be measured.
I enjoy M&M a great deal today, and play it often - but I think that the amazing "fun factor" and high quality content that existed with MSH simply isn't there, and that's a shame.

I have fond memories of playing Champions 4th edition in middle/high school, if only for the enormous fistfuls of dice that Energy Blast users would roll.
I do have a shiny new copy of Mutants & Masterminds 2nd and it looks great so far, but I haven't had the chance to try it out yet.
Has anyone tried Necessary Evil? I love Savage Worlds, and I'd be curious to hear about how it handles superpowers.

Mutants & Masterminds (2nd Edition) is by far the best Superhero RPG I've ever run and I've run and played in a lot of Supers campaigns over the years. I started with Villains & Vigilantes in '83 but I think I've tried them all. M&M has pulled me away from my previous favorite, Champions, which believe me was no easy task.

I am a huge fan of Mutants & Masterminds, but recently I have been reading HERO System, which looks like it might be fun. I'm also interested in 4c.
@Stephen: Hell no, you don't need the D&D books! You should try M&M.
- April 3, 2009 at 9:19 AM
- Stuart said...
I had liked the looks of M&M but I wanted something for use with minis... so SW looked like a better choice for me. :)

- DNAphil said...
I enjoyed Mutants & Masterminds very much. It was easy to run, and the Save mechanic made for some great back and forth Supers fights.
I would have to say that my other favorite was DC Heroes. I was not really a fan of the DC comics, but the mechanics were quite interesting, and were able to easily cover Batman and Superman in the same system.

Hearts and Souls by Tim Kirk/Silverlion. It's the first supers game that made me want to play it. It doesn't get lost in endless recursive tinkering with powers, which drives me up a wall. The use of soliloquy to reduce stress is brilliant, and perfectly suiting the genre. The drive mechanism gets to the heart of why are you a hero. Or villain, for that matter.
- April 3, 2009 at 10:24 AM
- Steve said...
I thought the Marvel Universe RPG had a clever token-based resource management system.
Oddly, I found the 50-page quickstart insert published in Inquest Magazine to be more interesting than the full game.
- April 3, 2009 at 10:33 AM
- HinterWelt said...
I really don't have one. I have played Hearts & Souls, Champions, Heroes Unlimited, MSH, and my own Supers Inc and I have found, after this journey, I fundamentally do not like the genre. Each of those games have their strengths but the problem I have always had is the writer fiat that jacks with the smooth play of a good setting. If i had to pick one for the "comics" genre I would probably go with MSH.
- April 3, 2009 at 11:14 AM
- Fred Hicks (Evil Hat Productions) said...
MSH was great for its time, and good even when nostalgia drives me back there. But it's not my favorite.
Favorite would have to be Silver Age Sentinels Tri-Stat version -- the system had all the kinds of configurable crunch I might want up front in character creation, but ran smooth like butter once the action started.

No Truth & Justice love? Am I alone on that one?

- Ruminator said...
I've played GURPS Supers, Marvel Superheroes, DC Heroes, Champion, Marvel Adventures Roleplaying (the SAGA one), and the Marvel Universe Roleplaying Game (the one Marvel put out).
Out of these, I like the last two the best (SAGA and Marvel's own).

Zachary said: "No Truth & Justice love? Am I alone on that one?"
Not at all. You asked for our favorites. T&J is my second ranking supers game. I just prefer H&S, though I could see others preferring T&J easily. Like H&S, it tries to model comics themselves, though in different ways than H&S. You should also note that Chad cites H&S as an influence on T&J, even though T&J was released earlier than H&S - Tim had H&S in playtest for a very long time. They are coming from the same direction, which is why I like both of them.

I love 'em all! Give me anything from Golden Heroes to the original Marvel RPG through to DC Heroes, V&V and HERO/Champions and I'm a happy bunny.
But top of the tree has to Mutants & Masterminds. By a mile.
- April 3, 2009 at 1:26 PM
- Rich Spainhour said...
My hands down favorite Supers RPG is the sadly now OOP juggernaut Silver Age Sentinels (Tri-Stat version, natch). Just a sweet, sweet pile of point-buy crunchy character creation followed by simple, smooth-as-silk gameplay. Loved that game, and still do.
If I were to confine myself to currently in-print games (if a PDF-only game can be labeled "in-print"), my current fave is MT Desing's Resolute (http://www.splinteredrealm.com/Resolute.htm).

HERO System of course. Nothing else is even worth looking at.

Sigh...no love for Hideouts & Hoodlums...
- April 3, 2009 at 2:30 PM
As many others, played alot from V&V, etc...
I always return to MSH (TSR), again and again. It was a very adaptable system for me; easy to convert other system characters to it (esp. DC), and universal enough for players to create their own characterizations of established comic heroes.
- April 3, 2009 at 3:22 PM
- MJ Harnish said...
I really like Truth & Justice for its simplicity and the fact that it actually gets to the heart of what being a super-hero is rather than just being a super-powered combat simulator.
I also am rather impartial to the MSH hack I've made using the FATE system (Marvelous FATE) - I like it much better than the original MSH game and yet it uses all the same stats so we can use almost any published character or even make our own.

Champions. It was the second rpg I ever played or bought. I just started new Champions game this week for the first time in about 10 years. There's just so much you can do with it.
- April 3, 2009 at 3:34 PM
- Lon said...
I love Truth & Justice and Marvel Saga equally for ease of play and low prep time.
- April 3, 2009 at 4:32 PM
- John Fiala said...
This is a hard one to answer.
A long-time favorite of mine would have to be Hero's Champions system, because it's a lot of fun. But that said, I'm also fond of the DC Hero's system for it's table-based resolution and loose structure, and on the third hand there's Silver Age Sentinels which I got to do a lot of playtesting on and even wrote a short book for. :)
- April 3, 2009 at 4:59 PM
- Mike said...
Favorite? Honestly, it's a tie.
The original Marvel Super Heroes (FASERIP) was fantastic - I still love it. It's just very simple, much like the other TSR boxed sets of the day. I liked Villains & Vigilantes as well, but the FASERIP system was much better than V&V's often convoluted rules.
I've come to like Mutants & Masterminds a lot as well, although it's very crunchy and detailed in comparison to those two. Not a bad thing ... just very different from MSH & V&V. A lot more prep time is needed by both the GM and the players for a M&M game
I used to played Heroes Unlimited a lot back in the day. Like most Palladium games, though, the more sourcebooks you use, the more of an unbalanced mess it turns into. I think you can have a great HU game; it just requires a lot of house ruling, and a careful eye by both players and GM at chargen to make sure everything looks balanced.
- April 4, 2009 at 10:00 AM
- Scott said...
Champions, hands down. Any game that still feels fresh after you've played it for 25 years is doing something right. It has its downsides, but HERO is the most flexible and easy-to-use universal system I've played yet, and mixing other genres does not break it.
I also enjoyed the 80s Marvel Super Heroes. It was more restrictive than HERO, but it was also simpler for a new gamer to pick up and play, and as far as I remember, its rules worked out pretty well in play.
Mutants & Masterminds is at the top of my reading list now, and I also want to hunt down Truth & Justice. I don't often run supers games, but for some reason I love reading the systems, more so than almost any other genre.
