Tell Your Legislators to Oppose Tier VI!
The Governor would create a new pension tier – Tier 6 – for state workers and other public employees with dramatically reduced benefits and increased employee costs. Cloaked in the guise of reform, this proposal is about politics and placating big business special interests, not sound public policy. This bill ignores the landmark Tier 5 pension reform enacted by the legislature less than two years ago which is estimated to save the state and local governments $35 billion over 30 years. We don't need a new tier to cut costs, just let Tier 5 work as intended!
The Governor's plan would result in much smaller pensions and a loss of security for workers. It is a first step toward ending secure pensions entirely by introducing a 401K plan that is presented as "optional", but also cutting pension benefits to the point where a traditional pension is no longer a good option. For most state workers this bill would double the amount that they are required to have taken out of their paychecks. And this tax on workers paychecks could go even higher due to a variable rate formula in the bill. If this formula was in effect today, many state workers would be required to contribute more than 10% of their salary to the pension fund.
Despite press reports to the contrary, public employee pensions are not overly generous. The average benefit for a member of the state and local employee retirement system is $19,151. Pensions are not a gift or a special privilege. They are earned by many years of hard work. The pension system is a long term commitment that must not be abandoned for political gain.

Updated: Feb 12, 2013 9:56 PM
TUCSON - The man you're about to meet served in Vietnam and spent 30 years in law enforcement before retiring as a detective. Because of his background, he wants to remain anonymous, but he also wants his story to be told; proving that racial profiling can happen to anyone.
"Look at me, I'm Hispanic."
That's the reason this retired officer says he was stopped at the Lakeville Port of Entry in November of last year.
He and his family were on their way back home from Rocky Point, a trip they'd made dozens of times, but this time it was different. He says he was asked to get out of the car without explanation, and then he was handcuffed and taken to a secured room while his truck, trailer and fifth wheel were all searched. He claims agents had no reasonable suspicion for their actions and neglected his rights by handcuffing him.
"Profiling is profiling and it's easy, easy to profile. The easiest thing in the world."
Law enforcement or not, he says no one should be disrespected the way he was that day. That's why he's complained to CPB and Congressman Ron Barber's office.
"I don't want anybody fired, but I want them to understand they cannot treat Americans on American soil that way. I didn't think it would ever, ever happen to me. Ever!"
Isabel Garcia with Coalicion de Derechos Humanos says the officer should not be surprised.
"Outside of the uniform, you look like I do, and the rest of the Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. You're a part of them," she says.
Now that officer asking others, who serve and protect, to speak out to their elected officials and fellow officers.
"There's nothing wrong with correcting your fellow officer. It's better if you do it before it gets out of hand"
He's requested the agents involved go through sensitivity training and the initial agent have a letter of reprimand placed in his file. He still hasn't heard back from the CPB.
KVOA followed up with the department. CBP wouldn't talk to us on camera, but did release a statement. It says the rules are different at a U.S. Port of Entry, where reasonable suspicion is not required to make an investigatory stop. It did not comment on handcuffing the retired officer.

hi i have an e-quad with 24v, now i want to upgrade to 36v (12v x 3 (12ah batts)) with speed controller 36v 500w and 350w motor
Should i use 30amp cables to batteries, awg14, 2.5mm2? pvc or silicon type?
thanks in advance.
neptronix wrote:The most important number is how many amps your controller is rated at. You need to take that peak number and wire under the assumption that the power will be peaking.
If you're running 30amps only for a foot or two, 12ga would be appropriate with minimal drop in voltage. 14 would be stretching it, and 10ga would be ideal.. anything above that is kinda overkill.
I don't think the coating on the wires matters so much. What's inside does though.. copper is more conductive and won't fray.
neptronix wrote:usually there is a label on it... if it is a cheap brushed controller and it doesn't have a label, the only way to find out would be something like a watts-up, cycle analyst, or turnigy watt meter.
Which, if you're into eBiking, you should have in your arsenal

Is this what you want?
In reply to Ronald Woods' Letter to the Editor ... Have you ever looked socialism up in the dictionary?
Socialism: 1. Any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods. 2. A: A system of society or group living in which there is no private property. B: A system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state. 3. A stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to the work done.
Communism: 1. A: A theory advocating elimination of private property. B: A system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed. 2. A: A doctrine based on revolutionary Marxian socialism and Marism-Leninism that is the official ideology of the USSR. B: A totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of production with the professed aim of establishing a stateless society. C: A final stage of society in Marxist theory in which the state has withered away and economic goods are distributed equitably.

On Tuesday we went to the Long Island Orcharstra at the tilles center! It was so much fun! My favorite part was the ending because it was very wild, everyone was clapping to the beat and the lights were changing in the backround. I think our class could listen to another orchastra with more pop since at the tiles center everyone liked the last song which was kind of like pop. I think we should visit a college because then we have an experience on what the players learn at college. I would want to go again=http://!!!!:p

(and the more economical) "Muffy Aldrich Fake"
Cape Cod, February, 1973 (Photo by my father) |
I think you are just great. Keep up the good work.
Ditto !!
These are a riot! Thanks for sharing.
I am still smiling from that list. Very funny! And the picture is fabulous.
Ironically on the heels of your Made In America post. SMH. Sometimes I wonder if tolerance doesn't secretly breed hate behind closed doors, like apathy being the glove into which evil slips its hand. Keep posting!
Our country is rife with a bland, faux "sweetness" pretending to be the norm, while masking hostility and envy for anyone who dares to rise above the low common denominator. Please continue to show us beautiful visions of New England culture, Muffy; better to be found "annoying" than "boring" any day!
Other places online I cause a bit of discomfort, for tipping sanctimonious applecarts by daring to question the origin of some of the carefully packaged treacle "everyone" supposedly thinks--some find this unseemly.
When you start taking flak, you're directly over the target! Nothing makes me seasick faster than the Outraged! whingeing of false populists. ;)
Ha! Mine are so much more mundane.
Most are looking for various prep staples. Some are looking for me.
I imagine many a tourist is annoyed at searching for "Kyoto Maiko" as in... Maiko in Kyoto's Gion district and finding that I don't report on Maiko or Gion at all!
I'll share some of mine as well, but in an email to you. I'm too embarrassed to print them.
On the one hand, I think many of these comments come from those on the Left who believe that standards, traditional values and belief in core values should be eliminated from the public discourse. They also represent a need by certain people to denigrate all that is good in a values based system, one that relies on standards of integrity, honesty and character.
In the military, where standards MUST be met and integrity is prized (and demanded), quality also matters. Equipment, like clothing must serve and meet a function. The lifestyle, which is often monastic, is a culture all to its own (much like prepdom).
At the end of the day, our preferences for preppy clothing and the lifetsyle may leave us subject to finger pointing and ridicule. I, on the other hand, prefer to select quality over quantity, tradition over trendiness and true substance over trendy styles that for the most part, would not look good one me anyway.
Muffy, IGNORE all of the negative comments. Retain all that you have been loyal to and enhance it: it is, after all that very quality that makes you and this blog so thoroughly delightful and enjoyable.
Paul Connors
Dear Muffy:
I am by far not religious under any terms or guise but this quote, albeit a bit harsh given the context, is my proverbial ( no pun) reminder to you, that I am certain needs no source citation:
" ...do not throw your pearls to swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces."
your diligent reader,
p.s. One day you will tell us where to buy a book of your father's photos, no?
... "muffy aldrich income" just showed up as one of my search terms.
As if you publish such information, and much less than I would have it!
I am FIRMLY on the left and I think you and your blog are great!!!
I don't delve deeply into politics in the blogosphere, but I am on the left. The very far left. Do not judge a book by its cover, nor judge a prep by her clothes. Her views may surprise you, if you inquire (politely, of course).
I find your comment moving towards a divisiveness which I believe is not appropriate for Muffy's blog, although she is, of course, the final arbiter. And that's all I'll say on the matter of political ideology.
I don't believe there is anything at work here other than envy. Those that sit around and question why others have experiences and material goods that they themselves do not have without any consideration for how they might obtain it. You can find these people of all stripes, in all classes, with all backgrounds.
I've had to "make" prep in Japan. All of the elements are present, but it has been up to me to find them and put them together into the life that those of us here are used to, aspire to, or dream about. Money is the least of my concerns. I am a public school teacher. I do not make that much, but I am always up for exploration and adventure, it is not money one needs to spend, but rather time and effort.
How bizarre. And just for the record, when I learned that you are a few months older than I, when you posted about turning 50, I thought, "NO FAIR! She looks way to young to be my age."
i am so sorry to read those terms. Not what I would use at all in coming here!
Well, count me on the 'Muffy Aldrich Fans'. I really like reading your blog and seeing what you're up to.
Well, count me on the 'Muffy Aldrich Fans'. I really like reading your blog and seeing what you're up to.
OMG, Muffy ...I am so sorry you have to endure such mean-spirited people. Don't they have anything better to do? Many thanks and lots of {{{hugs}}}!!
I love and respect the tradition and heritage of New England culture.
Thank you for sharing it with us,
I read you assiduously because I enjoy your writing very much, both subject and style, and your pictures are transportive, both figuratively and emotionally. Keep it up, Mrs. A.!
Muffy Aldrich: wonderful, real, informed, passionate and who's blog is a pleasure and a delight to read. So there.
you're great, except for the fact you dont respond to emails.
Dear Muffy,
Your cheerful posting of these unkind search terms shows the grace which draws us to your blog. Your attitude towards the envious and peevish--rise above them--is just right. You have far more admirers than detractors.
I'm not sure what's more offensive to me -- that so many people seem to misunderstand and think the worst of you, or that some of your commenters seem to presume the political leanings of your loyal fans.
Well, I am pleased that you are here and allow posts from such very non-preps (and Southern to boot) as myself. I did work on a tobacco farm in Amherst one summer, however, so I have been exposed to New England, if not New England culture.
Anyhow, have you ever met Judith Martin?
@Greenfield - Your comment is brilliant, well worth studying and unpacking for the layers of great thoughts contained within. And, I learned a new word - treacle!
Those phrases are too funny! I am so glad that you have a sense of humor about it. I on the other hand use nothing but kind words when describing you and your blog. Have a great weekend!
Another Leftie here, and a Canadian one, no less (I'll give you my publicly-funded healthcare when you pry it from my cold, dead hands). I don't feel it has any effect on my enjoyment of this blog. If there is something here I can't relate to or might not agree with, and a comment to that effect is not warranted, then I simply move on.
Half of those terms are compliments anyway, aren't they?
Paul I just want to inform you that I am on the left as are many of the other readers. However, I find Muffy's blog wonderful as her values are shared by people on both sides of the "aisle". Buy good quality, consume less, build wealth (not necessarily meaning a big bank account), treat people decently at the very least, and in education - the "one size fits all model" well it doesn't.....
Say what they will, you light up the sky.
Don't let the haters hate on you baby. When you put yourself out there they show up soon after...
By the way, I turned 50 a couple of weeks before you so you look fresh as a new born deer to me...jb
There is a woman who writes for our local newspaper in northwest CT. She is politically very conservative but writes about many of the issues you address--good clean gardening and cooking, responsible behavior towards ones belongings and community--so she's gotten hate mail accusing her of "biased left-wing reporting." It never ceases to amaze me how much we all are inclined to pigeon-hole people. Keep up the good work, old girl. We'd all miss you so much if the riff-raff pushed you over the edge.
Mr. Connors, your presumptuous comments about "those on the Left" in this context may be the most idiotic thing I'll read on the Internet today. How embarrassing for you.
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis said,
"I want to live my life, not record it." Luckily for us you do both with a great deal of discretion. And we your readers are grateful.
Tell them all to GO TO HELL!
Really Muffy? Don't these folks have anything better to do? I love your blog and enjoy following you around our beloved New England. BTW, 50 is not old!!!
Well, when it comes to politics I am firmly midde of the road. I am a devout Catholic. Raised on the west coast. I love hair metal. Oh, and I love your blog Muffy! You are the real deal. Nice, educated, thoughtful and concerned. Sometimes people hate what they don't understand, sometimes they hate others for having what they do not have but want, sometimes people are just miserable and hate for no good reason. Sometimes one should just never google themselves. Hehe. Keep up the good work. I never gave Maine much of a thought until I found your blog and now it is firmly on my "bucket list".
Ha! Muffy, I think your attempt to change the subject away from you by putting up the Jackie post has not worked! :)
Water off your back. I don't comment much, but enjoy your writing.
Dear Muffy,
There are lots of us who believe you are very special, and we are here!
On another point, please put together a book of your father's wonderful photographs! I can't wait!
Haters gonna hate...and wear crappy shoes.
To echo Kionen's response to Paul Connors:
Left leanings and Muffy's blog content are not mutually exclusive (especially during a time of enforced solidarity for republicans and of burgeoning right-side splinter groups). One might argue that many of Muffy's values align with the liberal stereotype (fresh food, outdoor exercise, environmental consciousness). It also shouldn't need to be said that the "liberal" stereotype is based on an educated, privileged group.
Income is a divisive issue right now, but I think it may be an extrapolation to assume that people who take issue with high income and solid products are "leftists" -- whatever that means in the current political climate.
No, Paul, the military "lifestyle" is not "much like prepdom". Your comment is an insult to everyone who has served in the armed forces (the're called "armed" for a reason).
Hilarious! I take this to mean you have a sense of humor about it all. You're fortunate to have a distinctive and prominent voice. Evoking negative responses is just a necessary side effect.
Well... the only "issue" pertaining to this blog about which I have felt conflicted, and with which I have wrestled, has been the issue of consumerism. Muffy is all for sustainability, authenticity (as it relates to an old New England style of living) and simplicity (in many ways.) But she sure shops a lot! :-)
"Consumerism" is a HUGE area of study right now. At Phillips Exeter Academy, it is woven into courses in many academic subjects, always portrayed as an "evil." I could see someone of much means themselves take issue with the "materialistic" or "consumerist" elements of this blog, and even see it as a form of hypocrisy, given the other values espoused.
So, I don't think all criticisms (expressed or revealed through search terms) come down to jealousy over income and lifestyle.
(For the record... I should say this issue is one I wrestle with within myself... I love new things but also feel like maybe I'm too much of a "consumer." This should explain why I do still come to this blog, even though I have inklings of doubt over the consumerist aspects.)
I wonder if the new search term will be "Paul Connors hatin' on the Left"? FYI, Paul, there are plenty o'preppies on the Left - maybe you need to venture out of your comfort zone?
Muffy - was that photo taken in Ptown? From the water or a longer pier? It's awesome!
Just because someone types in "Muffy Aldrich Haters" does not mean they are a Muffy Aldrich Hater. Maybe it means something different. Maybe they meant to find the people who supply Muffy with garments for her head, and then just forgot the second "T".
@Patsy - That was my belief but thank you for confirming it! I should know how it was taken, given I was there, but I have no clue. The snow just looks so good about now.
And thank you all for the comments!
As my midwestern mother used to say, "Oh Honey, they're just jealous."
My dearest friend just told me about your site this week. I am so happy you've shared your experience and expertise! Thank you.
Ironically, many of the criticisms are, for me, your assets and why I read your blog in t,he first place. I found your blog because I was searching for preppy style advice from "the real thing." An "older" and wiser, New England "blue blood," who comes from a background of people with good taste and ivy league educations is exactly the sort of person from whom I wanted to seek advice. So, Muffy -- you're perfect! ;)
I started my search because I have 2 young children, a boy and a girl, to clothe. I was trying to stay between the two extremes of "streetwise" and "redneck," which are both big influences where I live and shop. I was dressing my kids in what I considered to be "tasteful & neutral" clothes, when my sister-in-law said they looked so preppy. To me, preppy meant the extreme '80's prep. Now, through you, I've learned that it's also the things I already liked and that I'm not weird to be anti-bling, etc. Finally, I'm a stay-home mom on a limited budget, so I have to plan carefully when I make clothing purchases -- another thing you encourage.
Thank you for being exactly who you are and for your strong, informed opinions.
I think people in general, of all political stripes, have a tendency to place others into little boxes, politically speaking. But most people who aren't political activists don't fall completely in line with the stereotypes.
I am a registered Republican and some of my views (particularly fiscal) are quite conservative. But, I am pro-gay marriage, pro-choice, love other cultures, and critique American culture. I consider each issue separately. If you're not extremely religious, the issues don't seem to have much in common, so there is no reason why your views on each would be the same. (If you are religious (Christian), then that element of what the bible says comes into play and can influence views on otherwise disparate topics. That's not to say that all religious people hold the same views because, say, compassion can trump judgments over "sinful" lifestyles. I just mean that religion is one thing which can guide views on what otherwise are totally unrelated topics.)
I think your opinions are spot on.
Great blog.
Paul- Delaware
I am fairly new to your readership, but the things I have read here, I have loved. In this blog, I have found a wonderful example of the idealistic best of Yankee, Puritan heritage - sustainability, thriftiness, frugality, local support, modesty, optimism, continuity, sustained and excellent work, and good health and physical well-being. These are values we all could benefit from practicing in our lives.
I've read things in other blogs about you - things that baffle me in their bigotry against middle-aged women, against a lack of conspicuous consumption, etc. These comments have all been frivolous nonsense and vanity.
As for consumerism, I have found that this blog supports a sensible approach to buying stuff - something we all have to do from time to time. Your emphasis on buying local, or at least local to our country, and on buying quality items that will endure an active life and changing fashions with endless style is far more sustainable than supporting slave labor practices at a Walmart by buying something that won't last a season, or buying the latest trend that will look ridiculous in a few months. Your posts are useful, helpful, and relevant. Keep up the good work.
Wow... I couldn't ever imagine or describe any of the above. Your blog tops my favorites, and I wish I lived in New England and had you as a neighbor!
I'm a fairly new reader and I love your blog. I don't particularly understand how anyone can have a problem with the principles you so eloquently promote here. Consuming with thoughtfulness and restraint, authenticity, stewardship - these just seem like logical lifestyle choices to me. I think of the "preppy" lifestyle as a "back to basics" utilitarian approach to life with an emphasis on quality, not quantity. We have seen firsthand in this country where gross consumerism and trendiness has lead us. To approach life with the principles you stand for just seems logical to me.... although logic does seem to be in short supply these days!
awww. i enjoy your blog. the photos are lovely and you are generally an upbeat girl. substitute ocean for lake, and you have minnesota, where i hail from. please carry on and ignore the dissenters. when i don't prefer something, i don't peruse it. i don't insult it, i simply don't peruse. that is what they should do as well if they like.
have a great weekend!
oh arg. lake for ocean, i meant...
How do you spell RELIEF? M-U-F-F-Y's D-A-I-L-Y P-R-E-P. I have been sitting with a dear family member throughout their hospital stay for the past few days. When not administering ice chips, I turn to the archives of this brilliant blog and it makes me feel like there is still order, beauty, humor and joy in the world. My Google search would have to be "Muffy life saver". Bless you, Muffy~ that's what you have been for me during this time. Write on!
@Anonymous 5:54 - ** With tears in eyes ** The idea that I could provide any relief in such a situation is so rewarding. All of my best to you and yours.
I get a pick-me-up from your blog and I thank you for it. I'm not sure if "Muffy Aldrich" is your true name, or something concocted. But I'm pleased with Daily Prep. It's a nice, light thing in a heavy world.
Also, I genuinely get great pleasure from seeing your father's photos.
@Anonymous 6:04 - Aldrich is my real last name and Muffy is my real nickname, given to me as a child.
I think that it's so weird that people spend their time making mean spirited/narrow minded comments. One of my good blog friends has people making forums about her blog. I don't get spending time out of your lives instead of reading a good book, writing a friend a letter, or calling a grandparent they go on blogs just to debate and find fault on someone that is taking time out of their lives to share their interests, opinions, and pictures of their daily lives. If you don't like something then move on to another blog...
Have a nice weekend Muffy! :)
I love your blog, and read it often. I may not agree with everything posted here, but I respect you and the work you do. Keep up the good work, and tell the haters to go to you know where!
Mr. Conners, I - very liberal registered Democrat - respect tradition, values, integrity, and honesty just as much as I believe you do. But I don't respect ignorance, which your comments embody by stereotyping those of us on the "Left" are somehow devoid of values. I have the utmost respect for your views, but suggest you not cast aspersions on me and lessen me as a person.
- All the best from one very liberal left-wing crusty New Englander (whose family has been here for 365 years), and proud of it!
Everyone here who is either vexed or confused by various commenters' assumptions of political or religious leanings based on "preppy" values, would do well to read this doorstop-sized book:
"ALBION'S SEED: Four British Folkways In America" by David Hackett-Fisher, Oxford University Press, 1989. Readily available inexpensively on Amazon.
It's a remarkable study of the four major original strands of American culture; Puritan, Quaker, Cavalier, and Backcountry, and the surprising degree to which they influence regional thought today. Each group's disparate views of virtue, God, freedom, and personal responsibility are a real eye-opener.
If everyone in American could read it, the better to understand where each other are truly "coming from," we might be able to find enough common ground to finally stop fighting the Culture War sometime this century!
I consider you a great freind, whom I have never met personally. I admire your kindness, thougtfulness,and sharing. Why are some so hateful and jealous? Please don't ever change. I love your blog, it's focus and all that I have learned along the way. I think I speak for all us New England lovers, please carry on! We'd miss you freind.
What interesting comments this post generated! I often reread older posts, just as I would reread a favorite book. Sometimes I want to revist the lovely scenery of places visited and sometimes I just want to enjoy the dog photos! But there is such variety in what is included in The Daily Prep (including the many comments), and I think that is part of why I enjoy it so much.
Also, thanks to Greenfield for the book recommendation -- I will look for it this weekend!
Those search terms just reinforce the theory that the internet is making us a dumber and meaner society.
Hello Muffy,
I am also one of those people who enjoys your blog a lot. (I don't comment very much, but I come back often to read and look at the gorgeous pictures.)
Most of society today is too rude, crude, entitled and angry for me... I've noticed with myself the less I talk, when I move with a purpose and stick to what I believe in, the more hostile (insecure) people become.
I am not preppy at all... (I'm very tropical, beachy). LOL I'm not quite sure what I really am. I do know that I am drawn to peacefulness, beauty, simplicity, intelligence, "realness"... class.
I greatly appreciate your blog because it's quiet, elegant, informative, warm and friendly!
I think you are fabulous & appreciate your blog terribly! Thank you for all that you share with us! Please keep it coming!
I'm a little late getting to this post, so I can't contribute much that hasn't been said already. But the fact that you would post this reinforces what so many of us who follow you already sense about the depth of your character. I won't wade too deeply into the political aspect of the argument. But to paraphrase a well-known figure on the opposite end of the spectrum, not only do you wear their scorn as a badge of honor, but you wear it so very well.
The large number of replies must reinforce one thing for you - YOU ARE MUCH LOVED!!
And if you're a fake, then let's raise our glasses and toast 'fakedom', long may it continue.
PS - Re my comments when you turned 50. I meant what I wrote - to me you look in your 30s. Perhaps you unleashed a few green-eyed monsters. LOL
I had a clean and pack day and a travel day and missed this post, but my take on this informal reader poll is that we wish you and your family only the best and PLEASE do not change anything you are doing.
You take a stance. It's genuine. As a result, some will object. I say keep on keeping on. Do you like Newsroom? Somehow Jeff Daniel's character resonates.
All of you people attacking Mr. Paul Connors, describe yourselves as people from the "left". However, none of you besides Kionon, have any respect for the ideas and beliefs expressed by people who are not on the "left". You guys have no tolerance for people that are different from you! I believe Mr. Connors was just expressing his opinion, you guys took it WAY too seriously...
That being said, Muffy, apparently you have a lot of impact! I could've never imagined anyone would think something negative about you! But then again, that is human nature - not everyone agrees! I believe that the people who have positive views on you outweigh the others, and remember, you also have loyal followers who admire your pursuit for quality and a well-lived life. Thankyou for showing us such beauty with every post!
I love your blog and have been a regular reader for at least a couple of years.
Jim from Honolulu
Marie, forgive me, but the only thing sillier than Mr. Connors politicizing Mrs. Aldrich's blog--something our hostess has had every opportunity in the world to do herself but has chosen not to for reasons that are abundantly clear to anyone who understands the aesthetic she represents--is you continuing Mr. Connors' inexplicable categorizations. This sort of thing is much more appropriate to a political brawl on AOL, or a Huffington Post thread, than it is Mrs. Aldrich's blog.
With respect, some of us would like to enjoy what The Daily Prep represents, without the Fox TV-level impolitesse your categorizations and Mr. Connors' bring to the discussion. There are so many other places for crude political divisiveness. If you could leave us this one forum to enjoy, it would be so appreciated.
@Marie: And what was I doing, if not expressing my opinion? I am barely into my thirties, but I learned long ago the folly in assuming things about other people based on their political beliefs, which is precisely what rubbed me the wrong way about Mr Connors' comments. May I also remind you that you do not personally know me (and most likely most of the commenters here), and so are in no position to make claims as to what we have tolerance for.
I don't believe anyone was attacking him (as I am not attacking you now). Muffy's comment section is a place where people can debate and discuss in a mature fashion, something that is quite rare on the internet these days - for example: have you ever read comments on your local newspaper's or news station's website? That's another thing I learned long ago not to do!
hah! oh man these were a laugh! i like the attitude you took with this though-its better to laugh at "haters" than to get worked up. why let someone else effect your mood/how you feel about yourself.
Hello Muffy!
I am also a new reader but I am very grateful that I came across this site. After a long search for blogs written by adults on meaningful topics, your posts and photos are refreshing indeed.
While we share some similarities, I am also a married woman with a college degree living in the northeast, our backgrounds are largely dissimilar, I am a left-leaning progressive without children and I'm African-American.
Still, I value your practical approach and look forward to your blog posts as I find your good sense perspective/advice to be comfortingly solid and always well intentioned.
I suspect that those who take offense to the ideas you put forth simply don't share your perspective. While others who vocalize their criticism do so to validate their own beliefs. Yet, this act only highlights their insecurity about those beliefs while your writing is reflective of the happiness in your life, that you generously share with the online community.
I thank you for sharing with your readers and hope you continue to do so for a long time.
I'm surprised "Muffy well-written blog" was not included as a search term...regardless of whether anyone agrees with ALL your opinions, Muffy, I think we can all agree you are an excellent and tasteful read.
There seems to be a lot of push-and-pull going on here about "Muffy's Opinions" which I just don't understand. While I'm sure Muffy has opinions about a great many things, as we all do, she has shown the utmost restraint in not thrusting them upon her readership. In fact, the lone "opinion" I can recall that could remotely be construed as "political" is her preference for clothing made in the USA--which based on the currently running poll is an opinion nearly her entire readership seems to share.
The danger of the "Comments" section I think is that it can quickly become less about the blog, and more about each other.
So please ask yourself one question: If we were all at a party having drinks together, say on the piazza of Ocean House, would we be saying these same things, and baiting each other by bringing up divisive subjects? I doubt it, so let's BEHAVE and not disappoint Muffy who hosts our gathering so graciously!
Brilliance recognizes genius, but mediocrity knows only itself. Don't change a thing.
You certainly look genuine.
I am young and decidedly left of center, and I think you and your blog are wonderful. Those who use the search terms you posted ought to take a page from your book interns of grace and good humor.
Muffy - Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius.
Fulton J. Sheen
I love your blog please keep up the good work.
P.S. I know we agreed to drop it per Greenfield's excellent suggestion but for the record, I'm often on the Left on a number of issues too.
"Christian Chensvold gay" is Google's #5 autofill.
Not sure if it's haters or guys wondering if they could hook up with me.
Muffy Aldrich - I like her.
That's my search string for you. I love your blog and read it frequently.
Thank you for your work on The Daily Prep. It is appreciated indeed.
Isn't there a Muffy Aldrich Classic or a Muffy Aldrich Traditional in there anywhere?
You're a sport Muffy and I would be flattered at all of the names because afterall, one could type Muffy Aldrich in a search engine and find no results and that might be worse than the aforementioned. It must be nice to have such a diverse following.
I think they're all envious anyway.
That's hilarious! Don't let the haters get you down! I should have such problems! :) XX @BollywoodBlonde
I am not a preppy, however I have a great amount of respect for the heritage of preppy New England culture. Being a conservative and Roman Catholic of working class background, I believe that certain traditions are very important to maintain. I admire that you help maintain them during a time when modern popular culture no longer values such traditions.
(Besides I think your hot).
Keep up the good work.

Women's Swimming & Diving
In its inaugural 2011-2012 season, the Iowa Lakes Swimming and Diving team began a great tradition of success at national championships. In just its first year, the Iowa Lakes Swimming and Diving program produced eight All Americans!
The main goal of the Iowa Lakes program is to compete with the other top programs in the nation while preparing swimmers to transfer to the top Division I, Division II and Division III Colleges and Universities.
As the coaching staff prepares for the 2012-2013 year, they are eager to work with the incoming freshman. This recruiting class, along with returning team members, contains many potential All Americans and national medal winners. Go Lakers!!

There are a number of acronyms in existence that have been used in the English language for hundreds of years, and all have been abbreviated for a good reason, because they were in another language to begin with. However the acronyms of today differ entirely. They have been created purely for convenience, and they do nothing but promote laziness in written and sometimes spoken English. 'ATM', we're well and truly in an age of 'LOLing', 'OMGing' and 'ROFLing'. However, since when has it become acceptable to communicate like this, rather than using good, old-fashioned, full length words?
Today's overhaul of the guidelines for sexual offences, which the NSPCC has been calling for, is an important step forward in both recognising the harm done to victims and in justice being done.
Eisenhower captured it best when he said: "Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because they want to do it." Some people are lucky enough to be born with the kind of qualities that make a great leader but it is also possible to pick up these skills through practice, hard work and application. So, what, in my experience, makes a great leader?
Drury Lane is the oldest and most haunted theatre in London. In fact, some say it is the most haunted building in the world. So far, I haven't personally seen any ghosts since we opened in June, but other members of cast and crew claim to have.
The fact is that certain faiths are unwittingly helping the paedophiles to destroy their good work, good name and good future by letting these vile toxic beings dry hump their fear and good ethics this way. Time to be brave, stop keeping their secrets, cleanse them from your system and start again, you are completely worth it.
On this subject, as on so many, MPs are damned if they do and damned if they don't. If they say they will take the pay rise they are greedy; if they claim they won't they are not believed. When trust is so low, and respect for their leadership is so lacking, it is hard to persuade anyone that you are sincere. Effective communication becomes impossible.
Incest; is there anything more shudderingly repulsive? The internet may have desensitised us to many formerly unspeakable acts, but sexual relations between family members are still morally repugnant and utterly disturbing... Or are they?
A report by the Democracy Institute, an American libertarian think-tank, predicted that 385,000 people will migrate from Romania and Bulgaria to the UK over the next five years. This prediction was uncritically featured or cited in an array of newspapers... But the report is deeply flawed and should be dismissed as not credible until its authors can prove otherwise
Alzheimer's is not the only dementia. Alcohol dementia, is also known as alcohol-related brain damage (ARBD) and alcohol-related brain injury (ARBI), and is linked with Wernicke's encephalopathy and Korsakoff's syndrome. With all these complex names, it's perhaps not surprising that the direct link between alcohol consumption and dementia isn't clear.

In last week's autumn statement, Chancellor George Osborne was able to showboat the supposed successes of his austerity-driven financial agenda and renew his increasingly unlikely commitment towards balancing Britain's topsy-turvy budget. Yet while he's busy fritting away government assets and liabilities at break-neck speed, Mr Osborne appears keen to ignore a major housing crisis looming just over the horizon. It won't be pretty.
Sensing my cold feet, he pulls me in for a kiss. It is slippery, mock-passionate and, overall, unpleasant. I am embarrassed for us both. The conversation hasn't been remotely flirtatious; there has been no chemistry, nothing naturally leading us to this point where we would be kissing in a bar,
A time where the Houses of Parliament are hosting an auction for the proceeds of a Banksy wall piece to be donated to charity, where the NYC Department of Transportation has made street art a priority, judges are pardoning artists due to their obvious talents and we bear witness to the ultimate irony - Walmart selling prints of Banksy's 'Destroy Capitalism' to the mass market.

Performing at an elite level of sport requires a tough mental and emotional discipline and that is not a given thing, it has to be learned. Its just as big a part of your training as the hours in the pool, the gym or the track. How you approach the mental and emotional side of sport will teach you more about yourself than any formal education, and probably be the biggest lesson you will learn... at elite level, you have to learn how to lose and your emotional response to losing is what toughens you up and teaches you who you are.
Lapsed Catholic, atheist and people of other religions have all declared themselves a fan of this Pope. And, as a Baptist minister so have I. Pope Francis is the religious figure that the world has been waiting for.
The most important aspect of these new reforms is that fishing quotas will now have to fit into a long-term plan based on scientific advice, with the aim of restoring Europe's fish stocks by 2020. That is ambitious, but achievable. They also have symbolic importance. They show that when the UK is constructive and pushes for reform of the EU, it can deliver real results.
I wonder if it was like this 2,000 years ago. If it was, when Jesus died, Pontius Pilate would have appeared on Sky News moments after the cross was taken down and said "The world mourns today a man of great integrity. It was an honour to have known him, and even when I sentenced him to crucifixion, he showed great forgiveness, and that shows what a great figure he was."
CDs are dead; consigned to the bargain basement of life, nestled alongside corpses of cassette tapes and decomposing mini discs. I'd argue that websites are to news, what CDs were to music. Desktop, website experiences, once the saviour of publishing, are flat as a pancake and pretty soon, like CDs, websites as we know them, will be gone.
The Mayor is missing the point, thinking that the issue on London's streets is all about cycling... London is in grave danger of becoming famous not for finance, art, culture and cycling, but rather for road death and injury. We need a radical re-assessment of the purpose of our streets.
Temperatures can fall to as low as minus six. In previous winters families have been known to burn their possessions just to stay warm. For little children, struggling against the cold and the wet, the brutality of winter could prove deadly.
I sent Shaker Aamer the sermon Reverend Nicholas Mercer delivered in October which denounces the UK's involvement in the tortuous and horrifying tactics used in the 'war on terror' and its continued denial of justice to those still subjected to those same practices. Shaker, clearly touched, wrote back almost immediately.

Stephenie Meyer, whose books inspired the "Twilight" (2008) movies, now presents a new way for true love to struggle against itself. In the "Twilight" world, characters were invited to become vampires to share more fully the lives of those they loved. "The Host" presents a possibility that, if anything, is a deeper commitment. Earth has been invaded by a race of "souls" who inhabit human bodies, stripping them of their memories and identities. It's the way the alien race survives and spreads.
We meet Melanie Stryder (Saoirse Ronan), who through some sort of glitch, is inhabited by an alien soul but still retains, there inside her mind, her own identity. This leads to interior conversations between the Soul Melanie and the Earth Melanie. Soul Melanie (known as Wanderer) falls in love with Earth Melanie, even though in theory this isn't possible because the Wanderer has become Melanie. This intimate form of self-love leads to dialogue that will possibly be found humorous by some people. When Wanda is about to kiss the boy she loves, for example, the film uses voiceover to warn her: "No, Melanie! Wrong! No! He's from another planet!"
True, in our own lives, we pick up warnings on that frequency: No! You'll get pregnant! No! He's from the other side of town! No! He's your best friend's boyfriend!" I imagine this as a version of one of those debates where little angels with harps and devils with pitchforks perch on your shoulders.
Much of the film is set in New Mexico, where a band of surviving humans hides inside an "almost" extinct volcano. Using sunlight reflected by walls of mirrors they can crank up and down, they raise crops for their agrarian eco-system.
Melanie and her soul venture forth to find her other Stryder relatives. They are united with Jeb (William Hurt, a bearded patriarch), Maggie (Frances Fisher) and young Jamie (Chandler Canterbury). They hide from soul patrols in search cars and helicopters, allowing "The Host" to get by with a few simple sets, including a tunnel that always looks like the same tunnel. The Souls are determined to track down all evaders, and at the outset I gather they've already enlisted more or less all the humans on Earth, except for members of the Stryder family.
"The Host" was directed by Andrew Niccol, who co-wrote the script with Stephenie Meyer. Niccol is attracted to films about humans living (whether they realize it or not) in artificial societies. He wrote "The Truman Show" (1998), about a man living inside his own reality show and observed on TV by humankind, and directed "Gattaca," about another kind of artificial society. His films' ground rules limit the depth and variety of possible relationships, and "The Host" is top-heavy with profound, sonorous conversations, all tending to sound like farewells. The movie is so consistently pitched at the same note, indeed, that the structure robs it of possibilities for dramatic tension.

"It was a good scrimmage We got 85 plays in - a lot of good plays by the offense, some bad plays. A lot of good plays by the defense and (some) not so good plays by them also. The punters hit some good ones. The kickers hit some good ones and some bad ones. It was just practice. Hopefully we can learn from it and get better," said Head Coach Steve Spurrier.
Four quarterbacks saw action Wednesday. The best performance came from Andrew Clifford who completed ten of his thirteen passes for 142 yards. Connor Shaw, who started for the last half of the 2011, season finished up with 98 yards and 9 completions on 12 attempts.
On the receiving front tight end Jerell Adams caught four passes for 83 yards and a touchdown. Bruce Ellington caught 3 passes for 38 yards.
The Gamecocks will returned to the practice fields on Thursday morning at 10 a.m. That practice, and all remaining practices, are closed to both the media and the public, as the team works on the game plan for the season opener against Vanderbilt on August 30.

After the worst-kept pregnancy secret in Hollywood was confirmed on Christmas morning with a Jessica Simpson tweet featuring her 7-month-old daughter, Maxwell Drew, and the words "Big sis," Weight Watchers executives were supposedly furious with the celebrity spokeswoman — who had just signed a $4 million deal with them.
Weight Watchers then confirmed to the Daily News that the reality-TV personality would join the program after she gives birth to baby No. 2 in the summer.

Welcome to the Future! It's the Non-Stick Ketchup Bottle!
by Mike Casey
posted May 24 2012 4:53AM
It's the world's biggest non-problem problem: getting ketchup out of the bottle.
engineers at MIT
have fixed it. They
designed the perfect bottle and ketchup cannot stick to it.
The secret is in a substance known as "LiquiGlide,"
a non-toxic, FDA-approved coating that can be applied to the interior of bottles.
Regardless of what the bottle is constructed of, liquid or plastic, ketchup will flow out of it effortlessly.
Mike's Thoughts: I for one sleep much better at night knowing that America's best and brightest minds are hard at work on.....condiments.
Maybe next they can tackle that issue where the mustard settles in the container and your first squirt results in "mustard water" rather than actual mustard.
Making the world a better place, one condiment at a time.

The only reason for posting about it here is that they left my silver Ohio State logo plaquard on the back (visible in one of the pictures). Surprised they didn't take it off. Maybe the Block O increases the value?

World tour, Day three; fascinating Greece
Greece is one of the earliest civilizations and because they were excellent record keepers we know a lot about them. It is a country with rich history, heritage and culture. A mystical place where the Byzantine Empire once ruled and the great Ottoman Empires existed. It is considered to be the birth place of modern democracy.
Athens is the capital city of Greece and the original location of the Modern Day Olympics. Greece was the world center for western philosophy, political science, astronomy, mathematics, major scientific studies and many other mythological and factual data.
A Mediterranean country, it is a popular destination for world tourists. Known for its beautiful beaches, rich history and charming villages the Greek islands are one of the most wonderful luxury travel destinations to be explored by Cruise or Yacht.
Greece will definitely be one of the most memorable places that you will ever visit. One can never forget seeing buildings that literally hang off mountainous cliffs and seas of blue and white wherever you chance to look.
The population of Greece is around 11 million and the official language being spoken is Greek. Do not fret if you don't speak Greek, because other popular languages are English and French.
Greece is located in Southern Europe bordering the Aegean Sea, Ionian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea between Albania and Turkey. It is situated in the southern side of Balkan Peninsula. It is also bordered by Bulgaria and Macedonia in the southeast.
Greece is a place with strong historic and cultural background. There are different traditions and customs in different parts of the Greece. For example, the throwing back of a hand is considered to be a negative gesture here in Greece.
Some of the must see Greece tourist attractions include:
Athens (the spot of the historic Olympic Games)
The Parthenon in Athens
Arahova Mountains
The beaches in Lesvos
The wine vineyards in the countryside
The islands near the Aegean Sea
The wildlife preserve in Alonissos (Sporades Marine Park)

Really...damn, I picked up Stranger for free. Oh, and... WESTERN/SCIENCE-FICTION/FANTASY -The Dark Tower by Stephen King: Just remember, [Paraphrased from King] the joy is in the journey, note the ending. |
Antares | Posted on Jul 24 2009, 10:21 AM | ||
Classic sci-fi, especially if you're into telepaths and mind-powers: Sturgeon, Theodore - More Than Human Bester, Alfred - The Demolished Man / The Stars My Destination (both excellent) Herbert, Frank - Dune I won't recommend Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land though, because it is boring. Fantasy: Bakker, Scott R. - Prince of Nothing -trilogy (The Darkness That Comes Before, The Warrior-Prophet, The Thousandfold Thought) Hobb, Robin - The Farseer -trilogy (Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin, Assassin's Quest) Crime: Larsson, Stieg - The Millennium -trilogy. (Men who hate women / The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire, third issue English title not yet known, but available in Swedish or Finnish ). I can reommend Larsson to those who like thrillers but would like a slightly different take than your usual ass-kicking, smar-cracking detectives or the Poirot -class geniuses of deduction. The first issue of the Millennium -series has two titles, the latter one is more usual because the UK/US publisher thought the original title was "upsetting". But it is superbly written. |

Great Action Toy
By All about fun mom
from North Kingstown, RI
About Me First Time Parent
My son loves this truck. It has bright flashing lights, plays loud music and is pretty fast when compared to his other motorized trucks/cars. He is almost 2 and loves to see anything with wheels in motion. The red buttons to operate music and motion are a bit harder for younger ones to operate, but I am sure with practice and modeling it is a skill that will come with age. The truck is very durable and is great when going from hardwood to carpet. Very exciting for a toddler!
