Photo via antijoe The Faucher family in Deleware has an affinity for holiday lighting, or rather, an obsession. The family decorates their house with a whopping one million lights. If your jaw dropped open, we’re right there with you. The total cost of their energy bill at the end of the month is an estimated $82,300.

She’s been called a lot of names over the years, and understandably, Lindsay Lohan is not a fan of certain words used to describe her in the media. Hilariously, the real button-pushing term for her is “provocative.” Seriously … for her that’s over the line . Sources say the actress is “beyond upset” that CNN dared use that unspeakable epithet to describe her. Lindsay: Where’s the love? [Photo: Pacific Coast News] The news network’s Showbiz Tonight listed LiLo among the most provocative stars of 2010 (she’s also #8 in THG’s Celebrity of the Year rankings). Miley Cyrus, Mel Gibson and Charlie Sheen also ranked high on the provocative scale, but Lady Gaga took the top prize. Not bad company really.

A 1986 Portland. Free to a good home. Still works. I’ll soon be dragging an old TV to the curb. 24 years old. Made in Korea. It still works, and someone will surely put it to good use. The curb outside my house works that way. But it got me thinking, “Do they make anything that lasts that long anymore?” It’s surely not the idea. A new ” Tackling High Tech Trash ” report from the national policy center Demos notes that the average U.S. household is home to 18 to 24 devices, with bargains and manufacturers trying constantly to get people to replace what’s barely old with something “new and improved….
