claudette millette: Energy Efficient Light Bulbs - A Household Help and a Hazard - 11/13/10 02:17 PM
These days, so many people are changing their light bulbs from incandescent to Compact Florescent Light bulbs to save on household energy.  
CFLs and other florescent type bulbs operate using much less energy than the standard bulbs we are all accustomed to and provide the same amount of light. They have also been proven to last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs. 
So, saving on Massachusetts energy bills seems like a no brainer, right? 
It would be a simple solution if bulbs were not so susceptible to breakage.  When this happens, you have to be concerned about what is … (15 comments)

claudette millette: Must be the Season of the Witch - 10/14/10 09:51 AM
Everyone knows about the mass hysteria known as the Salem Witch Trials. The trials took place between 1692 and 1693 and the actual location was in Salem, Ipswich, Boston and Charlestown. 
Back then, the act of behaving "strangely" could cause one to be accused of the felony crime of witchcraft which was punishable by death.  During the trials 150 people were arrested and twenty-nine people were convicted.  Of those who were convicted, fourteen women and six men were eventually executed. 
Aside from the original site of the accusations and high drama, there was another important connection to the Salem Witch Trials.  That one … (22 comments)

claudette millette: Just Imagine - John Lennon Would Have Been 70 Years Old Today - 10/09/10 01:41 PM
John Lennon, along with being one of the founders of the most famous rock group in history, is also remembered as one half the one of the most prolific and successful song writing teams ever.  My friends and I would play the game of "Name fifty Beatle songs in less than ten minutes." I think I could probably still prevail today, if challenged. 
When the Beatles first came to America I was just a little girl but that didn't stop me from screaming in front of the television set as I watched them perform on the Ed Sullivan show.  At the time of … (17 comments)

Imagine the Fire Department Letting Your Home Burn to the Ground 
That is exactly what happened to a family in Tennessee because they had neglected to pay the annual fee of $75 to the local firefighting service.  
Gene Cranick lives in an area where being protected by the local fire department is not a foregone conclusion. In Obion County, if you live outside of the city limits you have to pay yearly for the privilege. 
Interestingly, the fee is optional for home owners in this area and is probably thought of as most of us think about insurance. It is something … (79 comments)

claudette millette: Martha Coakley Asks for a Halt to Massachusetts Foreclosures - 10/06/10 05:48 AM
According to articles in The Boston Globe and The Herald, Massachusetts Attorney General, Martha Coakley has some major concerns about recent practices by some of the larger banks who have been foreclosing on homeowners in this state.  Specifically, the wide-spread use of "robo-signing."   
So-called robo-signers have readily admitted to having signed foreclosure paperwork that they have not actually read even though their signatures will be putting families out onto the streets, perhaps without proper justification. 
In response to this widening scandal, Coakley has written to officials at Bank of the America, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase and Ally Bank's GMAC requesting a moratorium on further … (14 comments)
