Energetics of Human Societies
• We are currently living off of stored energy capital of millions of years ago.
– The storage of organic matter in sediments and fossil deposits created the concentration of petrochemical fossil fuels
• There are low and high level societies which require different levels of energy consumption to maintain their needs:
– MDC are high
– LDC are low
Energy becomes an environmental problem
• The oil crises of the early 1970s marked a transition
where we began to realize the social, political and economics costs of such a heavy dependence on petroleum.
• Oil prices were low in the 1980s and 1990s but have steadily risen since thyen.
Energy Crisis or Energy Predicament?
Four dimensions of the energy predicament.
• Source Problems-how much do we have?
• Scale of energy consumption (population growth and economic growth)
• Global Policy and geopolitical problems
• Sink Problems
Commercial Energy
- 3 ways to define Energy:
• Non-renewable: exist in a fixed quantity in the earth's crust and can be used up (oil, gas, fossil fuels).
• Renewable: resources in unlimited supply (Solar, wind, tides, hydro)
• Potentially Renewable: resources that can be used, but not faster than they can be replenished (biomass)

PM Writes To Iraq Inquiry About Defence Cash
Video: Brown Backtracks On Defence BudgetEnlarge
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has written to the Iraq inquiry to clarify that defence spending did not rise in real terms every year he was Chancellor.
At Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Brown has admitted giving incorrect evidence to Sir John Chilcot's panel.
He had claimed that the defence budget had risen "in real terms every year".
But House of Commons reseach shows Mr Brown's claim was wrong, and he has now written to Sir John to correct it.
"Further to my evidence to your Inquiry on 5 March I want to provide you with further detail about defence spending," his letter states.
It includes a table which shows "actual" spending dipped in four years after 1997. For example it dropped by -7.39 in 1997-1998 and -2.09 in 2004-2005.
The four-page document does not acknowledge that the Prime Minister made an error in the way he described defence spending.
Mr Brown was asked by the Inquiry if he was aware senior figures from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said they were concerned that the 1998 strategic defence review had not been fully funded.
The PM said that the Treasury had agreed spending with the MoD for 2002, 2004 and 2007.
"The Iraqi expenditure was being met, but at the same time the defence budget was rising in real terms every year," he said.
Repeating his claim, he told them: "The spending review of 2004 gave the Ministry of Defence a rising level of real spending, moving from 1.2% to 1.4% in real terms each year."
But a research note prepared by the House of Commons Library in October last year showed defence expenditure had fallen in real terms in four financial years since Labour came to power in 1997: 1997/98 (-2.2%); 1999/2000 (-0.4%); 2004/5 (-0.7%); and 2006/7 (-0.1%).
The average annual increase between 1997 and 2009 was 2.7%, it said, but noted that "this figure is likely to have been distorted by current operations".
Asked at Prime Minister's Questions whether he would correct the record, Mr Brown said: "Yes. I am already writing to Sir John Chilcot about this issue.
"Because of operational fluctuations in the way the money is spent, expenditure has risen in cash terms every year, in real terms it is 12% higher, but I do accept that in one or two years defence expenditure did not rise in real terms."
The Prime Minister's evidence to the Inquiry sparked condemnation from senior military figures.
Lord Boyce - who was the head of the military at the time of the invasion - called him "disingenuous" and insisted the MoD was starved of funds.
Lord Boyce's predecessor Lord Guthrie accused Mr Brown of costing soldiers their lives by failing to fund the army properly.
The Tories described Mr Brown's admission as a "humiliating climbdown".
Shadow defence secretary Liam Fox said: "He has made repeated and fundamentally false claims, misleading Parliament, the public and worst of all the Armed Forces and their families."
A spokesman for the Prime Minister said Mr Brown had "taken the first opportunity" to tell MPs about the mistake.

What's New at BFF 778
Do you have what it takes to be a Burbank Firefighter? Click on the link below and check out just a small sample of what it was like to go through the recent 14-week academy. The academy consists of rigorous mental and physical training designed to provide the recruits with the ability to safely and effectively perform their job of serving the citizens of Burbank. Nine recruits completed the academy and hit the floor as Probationary Firefighters on April 14th.
Firefighter Michael Cary
Firefighter Christopher Donan
Firefighter Richard Dunn
Firefighter Alex Jauregui
Firefighter Hai Nguyen
Firefighter Stephen Nielesky
Firefighter Wesley Peebles
Firefighter Jeffrey Ponton
Firefighter Joel Ray
Burbank Firefighters Welcome Back Councilmembers Talamantes and Gordon
The Burbank Firefighters Local 778 endorsed Incumbent Councilmembers Jess Talamantes and Dr. David Gordon in the recent General Municipal City Council Election. Both members were successful in their bids for reelection and will begin their next term on May 1st, 2013. "We are very pleased our two candidates prevailed and we look forward to working with both of them to ensure the citizens of Burbank are kept safe and continue to receive high quality, professional fire and emergency medical services from the Burbank Fire Department", stated Local 778 President Mike McDonald.
Join the Burbank Firefighters in helping make this a better Christmas for underserved children in our community by donating to the
"Spark of Love" Toy Drive
"For 19 years, ABC7 and Southern California Firefighters have joined forces to run the "Spark of Love" Toy Drive. This campaign collects new, unwrapped toys and sports equipment for the underserved children in our communities. Toys collected in the respective counties are distributed locally. Please help us celebrate our 20th Anniversary by dropping off a toy or sports equipment at your local fire station, or if you prefer, you can donate on line at https://www.calfund.org/page.aspx?pid=622 and we will do the shopping for you. Every dollar collected goes towards the purchase of toys, sports equipment, and gifts for local children and teens."
It is breast cancer awareness month and once again Burbank Firefighters have traded in their usual blue and black uniform shirts for pink ones October 14th though the 19th as they raise awareness for breast cancer research. "We all know somebody, one way or another that has been affected, and I fully support the cause" Fire Chief Ray Krakowski stated. The Burbank Fire Department joins the International Association of Firefighters and many other local and national groups in the fight against cancer. In the United States, breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women, according to the American Cancer Society. "No one is outside the reach of cancer," Burbank Firefighters Local 778 President Mike McDonald said. "Whether personally afflicted or in support of friends, family, neighbors or coworkers, most of us have experienced the impacts of cancer, and feel it a privilege to be associated with this worthy cause."
Burbank Firefighters Local 778 is supporting the cause by selling specially designed pink shirts, hats, blankets, etc. They will also be wearing the pink shirts on duty, which they purchased themselves, during several shifts during the month of October. All proceeds from the sales will be donated directly to the Susan G Komen for the Cure. You can purchase these items from the comfort of your home at burbankfirefighterstore.com (please click on the link below).
Burbank Firefighters Donate $10,000
to Burbank/Burroughs Memorial Field
The Burbak Firefighters donated $10,000 to the Burbank/Burroughs Memorial Stadium project. What the Firefighters are most proud of, is that they never solicit money from the community to turn around and donate it and take credit for the donation. 100% of Burbank Firefighter donations come from our Community Service Fund that is solely funded from money deducted directly from all members' paychecks. The Stadium was dedicated on February 25th, 2012 and is truly a thing of beauty. It will be a great asset for kids and citizens throughout our great city. Above, Burbank Firefighters pose in front of a wall in front of Memorial Field that recognizes $10,000 donors. Pictured are (L-R): Captain Mark Hatch, BFF Director Peter Hendrickson, BFF President Mike McDonald, Michael Hastings (Fundraiser for Memorial Field), Engineer Paul Magnante and Firefighter/PM Jim Carrick.

Parental Alienation IS a Crime!
Dr. Michelle Golland: A Nassau County Supreme Court justice has sentenced a mother to six weekends in jail for civil contempt. Per the judge, the guilty mom -- Lauren Lippe -- engaged in a pattern of "alienating" behavior wherein she made false allegations of sexual abuse against her children's father, Ted Rubin -- allegations that were calculated to interfere with her ex-husband's scheduled time and relationship with their children.
"The extensive record is replete with instances of attempts to undermine the relationship between the children and their father and replace him with her new husband," Justice Robert Ross stated in his ruling. "[These instances included] manipulation of the defendant's parenting access, utter and unfettered vilification of the defendant to the children, false reporting of sexual misconduct without any semblance of 'good faith,' and her imposition upon the children to fear her tirades and punishment if they embrace the relationship they want to have with their father."
"Parental alienation" is the practice of mentally manipulating or bullying your own children with the express goal of damaging their relationship with their other parent. Both parental alienation and its related practice, "hostile aggressive parenting," deprive children of the stable and loving relationships they need when coping with divorce (and life in general).Children who are emotionally bullied by one parent in order to hurt the other can develop a severe opposition to contact with and/or overt hatred for the target parent. Often, there seems to be no logical reason for the children's behavior.
- Children perceive one parent as causing financial problems for the other parent.
- Children have knowledge of the divorce details or legal procedures.
- Children show a sudden hostile, negative change in attitude toward target parent.
- Children are not delivered for court-ordered visitation and/or are not allowed to "choose" to visit the target parent.
- False allegations of abuse are made against the target parent.
- Children are asked to choose one parent over the other.
- Anger and negativity toward target parent is reinforced.
- Children are given the impression that if they have a good time with the target parent during a visit, it will hurt them.
- Children are asked about the target parent's personal life.
- Children are "rescued" from the target parent when there is no danger.
Alan R- you are forgetting, Ted isn't sending her to jail nor am I. The judge found that she broke the law and it is her actions that are landing her in jail. Ted isn't the one who decided nor wants the mother in jail. When you break the law you pay the consequences. Maybe she should have thought about that when she was the one being evil and wharping the girls minds against him. You don't know the girls nor have witnessed their behavior and fear around the mother and I pray you are never in his situation if you have kids. You are judging him & I and know nothing of the reality of the situation. The mother felt that because she has a new rich husband she could do what she wanted at the girls expense and obviously she had to have done alot wrong or the judge would never have ordered jail time.
Coaches are notorious for their behavior with children. I hardly think your endorsement means much. You are his friend and would stick up for him no matter what. The picture doesn't lie. The dad has his hand on the little girls breast area. Perhaps the dad doesn't know that he isn't supposed to be touching the girls breasts and the photographer doesn't seem to have a problem with this either. You people all badmouth the mom. Yet you claim that somehow she is the problem. The big problem is that mothers are having their relationships with their children interfered with and destroyed. Seems the "alienation" is really between the parties here who want to take children away from their mother and put her in jail. What could be more alienating than that. You people are sick in the head who want to take children away from their moms and put the moms in jail. MISOGYNY - and other women do it too - see Women's Inhumanity to Women by Phyllis Chesler. No mother should ever have to defend her right to raise her own children.
As a RN in an ED, I have encountered this time and time again. And it typically starts with "I just got the kid(s) back from their father, and there's a red area…As far a the dad "molesting" his kids in this picture, get a life. There isn't an ounce of stress from anyone in this picture. It is simply a family have a great day, nothing more.
I think this subject stirs up alot of emotions due to the nature, I think every situation is different, as a mother who is living a nightmare of Parent Alignation Syndrom and being the hated parent…all i know is I live this everyday and it is the heartbreak of my life, I am sure each story is different, but i know what kind of mother I am and was to my children, Any parent that manipulates there child for there gain and revenge is sick….very sick…abuse is abuse…and abuse needs to stop on whatever level it is done, you know when your in the middle of something not right. Its a gut feeling and you just know. So everyones opnion is valid depending on your story…im sure this term PAS can serve great justice as it can be used against someone who is innocent, the bottom line is no matter what it is the kids that suffer.
Disgusting that people would suggest there's anything inappropriate about the photo of the father and his daughters. I really hope and pray that some of the commenters in this thread are not parents, as the immaturity displayed is beyond troubling. No wonder our society is so screwed up. Sad.
Believe it or not, a parent will
(1) make false allegations against the other parent in order to alienate them from their children
(2) make attempts to "replace" them with a significant other/new husband/wife
This case has went on for too long. Thank goodness the judge is doing something about it. Maybe she will think twice before making another false allegation. Repeated unsubstantiated allegations should be punished by jail time…at least that may make them think twice before making them. The problem with society is no one is punished for lying, especially when it comes to our children. If you have never been alienated from your children, then you have no idea of the psychological impact it has on you. The ones on here that are making accusations based on a photo are sick and need help. You are the ones who seem like you have no problem in harming your own children. Until you have your children taken away from you by the other parent for no reason, please be silent on the matter
My husbands ex-wives are just like this crazy lunatic. He pays all his child support on time and provides total sickness and accident insurance for both of his children. He also pays half of all medical expenses. Its disgusting that some women use their children as a paycheck. If you truly love your children then you would never do anything to hurt them. Not only is it causing damage now but in the long run these kids are gonna be so messed up in the head that no amount of counseling is ever gonna help. Both of his exes have different ways of alienating him from his girls and one of them has even verbally bashed my children by calling them half breeds. I guess their jealousy of how great of a husband he has been to me and how great of a father he has been to my children are just too much for them to bear. But to the women who choose to alienate their childrens father, beware one day the truth will be known and you may be the one who ends up being alienated. Your children will be adults way longer than they are babies. And once they become adults you may not be able to manipulate and control them like you once could. The lies that you put in their heads may come back to haunt you later on in life.
My brother has been fully alienated from his children since August 2001. As those who are affected know, it is a whole family thing. It has been really hard seeing how hurt my brother and my parents have been all these years. Also, as a nurse working with children I see the pain and stress from their parent's divorce. In an effort to bring awareness to PA I have volunteered for PAAO and designed some PA products. My PA items can be found at www.CafePress.com/TongueUnTied and www.Zazzle.com/TongueUnTied There is a great need for public awareness and professional education.
If you have never lived through the hell of parental alienation then you need to shut up. These women (and men) deserve to be in jail and for a lot longer than six weeks. We have been living this hell for 10+ years and it never stops. Many of the people that practice PA are sociopaths and people with diagnosable severe mental disorders. Many of you man hating woman only care that the these crazy women are protected or that all men are sexual abusers. You don't give a flying monkey about the emotional and pshchological abuse these chilren are living in. In fact you support it through your ignorance. And as far as Dr. Gardner, it is quite apparent that you haven't read his books or articles or those of his peers. Try reading Divorce Poison, Adult Children of Parental Alienation Syndrome or Divorce Casualites. In addition read some of the research done be Elizabeth F. Loftus, then GET A LIFE!
3 years ago I left a diagnosed bi polar man who had emotionally and verbally abused myself and the children for years. I was the primary caregiver in my sons life. He even called his dad by his first name. He was scared of his father. I moved to California and found a jobb teaching Kindergarden. My ex's dad worked for the city and knew lots of people. Anyways something went wrong at court. I have never smoked or drank. I am an honest woman who loves her children more then anything. My ex said he would get custody and there was nothing I could do about it. I told the courts about the abuse and how my ex could not keep a job and lived with his parents. Not only did the courts not look in to the abuse the judge actually apologized to my ex and once again I felt the shame of abuse. The judge ordered my son back to my ex. The medical records of my ex were never shown to the judge by my lawyer. There is something very wrong about this story. I want this to be made public. I am going back to court. My ex is refusing my son much needed medical care. and I went as long as 5 months before not knowing where my son was living. I havent had a return call in months and only sometimes do I get to talk to him. His brothers miss him. He is living in a dirty unclean enviornment where he is made to pick up dog poop and he says the dogs poop in his room. It is really bad. This seems to be happening a lot. Why? Sometimes there is abuse we cant prove but that doesnt mean it didnt happen. I have another court date soon and I am still trying to protect my son. I want him to have both parents. I believe every child deserves this.
There are only two ways of telling the complete truth—anonymously and posthumously.

Good Questions: What to do with all this dark wood?
Jessica writes: "We are moving from Los Angeles to our first house in Portland (though it's still a rental). It's a craftsman style home, with lots of wood paneling on the walls, as well as dark paint colors. Our furnishing include lucite, bright vinyl and Eames era decor. An example would be the San Francisco apartment tour of Lisa's Colorful Mission Abode. How can we make this work ? We may be able to paint the walls, but definitely can't touch any of that blasted wood. Any suggestions ?"

Hi Jessica, Congratulations on your new home! We agree that paint would definitely be the first step in trying to lighten the room. We wouldn't necessarily go with white, since that might actually emphasize the dark wood even more by giving it too much contrast. Perhaps consider a lighter neutral, like a medium grey or tan, which would certainly compliment your lighter toned mid-century furnishings. Perhaps even consider painting the ceiling the same lighter neutral, or even white, which would create a visual gradation from light to dark. Also, a nice big light colored rug on the floor could help brighten things up. Does anyone else have any suggestions or ideas for Jessica?

My husband and I aren't lucky enough to live in a Craftsman, but our apartment has a lot of hard wood--floors, kitchen counter, cabinets, etc. We painted one wall a deep dark blue, which actually brightened the place up (despite the richness of the color. We also painted the corner wall above the kitchen sink a bright red-pink. The other walls remain white, and the contrast is really stunning.
I think green always looks great with wood tones and would brighten the place up. Something sage-y? Light yellow/gold is also a typical craftsman color that goes well with the wood.
I would suggest painting some test areas on the wall before you make your final decision because you want the color to really work well with that specific wood tone.
jessica here....eee...found out we cannot paint. at least not for a while, until we can convince the owner otherwise. so, the colors you see are what we have to work with. my partner and i have been trying to brainstorm a way to change the hues of the walls without actually making a permanent transformation. i thought about some kind of contact paper, but am not sure if it would end up looking cheap. the walls in the dining room are actually wallpaper, while in the den they are simply a very dark green paint. yikes..!
Since that room is REALLY dark I would still go for a very light color or a warm white, check out Benjamin Moore for great shades. Here is a picture of a room with a very light blue. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://photos18.flickr.com/23886797_69eba7f3af.jpg&imgrefurl=http://mahoganyhouse.blogspot.com/&h=375&w=500&sz=41&hl=en&start=179&um=1&tbnid=UGNxSZY47QlZGM:&tbnh=98&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcraftsman%2Bdining%2Broom%26start%3D160%26ndsp%3D20%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN
I agree about the light rug and try displaying as many white/light decorative objects that you have. Attach a light patterned fabric in the china cabinet with double stick tape around the edges or place a light fabric behind the glass instead. Good luck and show pics when you're done.
The picture I spoke about is half way down the page, after they stripped the white paint off of the wood and reclaimed the original look.
From what you say, I'm assuming that the furniture shown in the pictures isn't yours. The first thing I would do is remove the shades, curtains and brackets that are currently in the window. I would go with very tailored shades; pehaps white, cream or a natural linen. I agree with Boomer that an Oriental rug would be wonderful; however any rug of a bright hue would work. The art and accessories shown are too dark. Black and white photos with white mats and black or blond frames of the same size hung above the plate rail would brighten that wall. In addition, just because there's a bit of wall doesn't mean it has to house something. The built-in cupboard should showcase bright colors: glassware, book, mirrors, mercury glass. Instead of dark tablecloths, a runner or placemats, again in bright colors would go a long way to enlivening the space. If those are your chairs, recover the seats. Additonally, there seems to be way too much furniture in the dining room, so your lucite pieces might well go there. I would not have any furniture or accessories directly in front of the window, except perhaps two sidechairs. I would hang one simple lampshade, over the chandelier, in a shade similar to the one you choose for the windowshades, covering the three rather staid glass ones that are there now.
you can brighten up the interior of the cupboard by creating a false background. Cut posterboard to size to fit between the shelves and then paint it whatever color you prefer, or use fabric or wallpaper. if you get the fit right, the posterboard stays in place without any kind of attachment so it leaves no damage.
Indeed, congratulations! It looks like a great place to read nice feminist novel. Europeans do the whole mixing of eras so well--and I believe why it works so well there (think Ren. villa carved wood panelling with ultra-modern white Minotti leather sectionals, etc.) is that color and texture is used very sparingly. I would definitely choose a cool (as in not warm) white for walls and ceiling & then keep bright bold furniture on the cool side as well (blues, greens, purples). This will help to balance the seriously heavy, warm library feeling. Go very minimal/white/modern with your light fixtures. Also, I think green plants will help to fill the gap between craftsman pop---maybe succulents for the blue tones & clean lines?
obviously you can't paint or change the wood- strip away as many 'period' fixtures as you can ( ie the chandelier) and even change the hardware on the cabinets ( keep the originals to change back when you move)
large canvases ( go for thick reveals not flimsy one inchers) hung over both the wall and paneling on the main walls and painted a very light version of the wall color and/or white will create a modern juxtoposition to the 'traditional' backdrop-( think modern art in an older style art gallery) you really want to contrast the space with sleek graphic pieces ( but not too many) overall keep it airy and open ( ie minimal or no window treatment) touches of chrome ( ie hardware, even frames on the canvases)will pop against the wood and darker tones- working with the d green and blue you could add poppier versions of those colors ( ie Benjamin Moore's'Rocky Mountain High'2066-40 and'Stem Green'2029-40) as a more mid mod color scheme that still looks fun with the warm wood tones, but playful!!also adding touches of 'almost white' (not too cool a white or will jump too much from the wood tones ie BM'Moonlight White',2143-60) will keep the space looking crisp, and go for large and very basic (no pattern) area rugs in light tones.
lighter fluid and a box of safety matches
Why not just paint anyway? That's what I do, and I've always gotten my full deposit back. My landlords have always either liked what I'd done once they saw it, or they'd planned to repaint after I moved out anyway, so they didn't really care. One landlord asked me to repaint some of the rooms back to white, but all the rest (many! I've lived in a lot of different homes) let it slide. Personally, I'm willing to risk losing my deposit, because it's my home, where I spend a lot of time, and it's important to me to have it the way I want it.
not all landlords are that leniant as I've learned-technically they can( in Canada anyway) keep your damage deposit and charge you to have it professionally repainted!!I would check before you go ahead....perhaps having a professional deside on colors may ease the landlords mind!?
The suggestions here are all great.
Welcome to Portland, but I have to tell you we have many, many Craftsman style homes here. If you don't like a Craftsman home, maybe just rent this place until you can find one more suitable to your tastes. Personally, I don't think modern tastes in a Craftsman is that uncommon around here and can work quite well. Please don't be sneaky and paint the place anyway, as suggested. Craftsman homes are gems and the landlord is just looking out for the place to make sure renters don't destroy it. If someone rented my Craftsman and painted the wood, I would cry and then I would sue.
Disclosure: I don't own a Crafstman.
If you can't paint, how about improving the lighting? Adding nice sources of indirect light around the room might give you the effect you're looking for.
- lean a tall floor-length mirror against the wall. it can be where the buffet is, opposite the windows. this way, it would reflect some window light in the room and also "cover up" some of the wood wall. black frame? white frame? depends on your new dining set.
- update the dining set and chandelier. center the table so it's under the chandelier, which should hang lower. ...maybe slip-covered chairs?
- bigger area rug. doesn't have to be crazy-patterned or colored. just lighter and about double the size of your existing one. monochromatic dhurries are great, easy to care for, and modern. maybe shades of light steel-blue stripes?
- get rid of the existing window coverings. they look wimpy and are hung too low. get one rod that goes all the way across the windows and hang as high as possible to the ceiling. then get silk drapes in gold or beige-y tones at both ends (depends on your new rug or chandelier). double-up on both sides so they look substantial and shimmery. they must just touch the floor. doesn't have to be expensive-- try cost plus worldmarket stores, or even ikea.
- if you can't get rid of the blue wallpaper, maybe work it into the room by using different shades of it. don't use the exact color, but various shades of it. this can be the runner, vases, napkins, chair coverings, chandelier shades, etc...
- get rid of existing artwork and wall-hangings. it's cluttery and draws too much attention contrasting against the blue walls.
Frankly, if the landlord doesn't want you to paint, I can't see them letting you change light fixtures, either. IMHO, for the time being, you are stuck with the wood, walls, and light fixtures. That's not what you want to hear, I know.
My suggestions are to either:
1. Live with the setting not being what you desire and, instead of pouring money into rental-based changes, keep adding to your modern items collection - and saving for a deposit on your own place, or a moving budget to somewhere that matches your aesthetic.
2. Open your mind. Instead of being boxed into the idea that your abode must be a perfect setting for your existing stuff, work the eclectic angle. What would a house like this have been like in the 60s and 70s? Bring all your things. Put them all in place. Move them around. You may feel like adding some inexpensive Art Deco or freaky Victoriana.
I would spend money on two things: some floor/table lamps and some curtains. Linen or linen-look curtains in a pale color would both brighten up the rooms and create a link with your modern things.
I agree with preserving the woodwork. I would never, ever paint over the wood in a craftsman home, doing so is literally an act of historic desecration. Heavy stained woodwork is the hallmark of the craftsman style and if you hate it, don't stay in the rental long and don't buy one. That being said, I think the dark walls are a bit oppressive. Since you can't paint the walls, you may wish to try hanging large light colored artwork or large clusters of small artworks on the painted portions of the walls. Items such as drawings, and/or photography can help brighten the walls and when done right will allow the dark walls to recede and accent the pictures, relieving the oppressive dark color.
Another approach I've heard of people doing with walls they hate is to hang starch saturated fabric panels on the wall. I've never seen this done in person, but supposedly you can paint the wall and/or fabric with liquid starch and then apply the fabric to the wall like wallpaper. The advantage is that when you move, the fabric peels right off the wall without damaging paint or fabric and the most you might have to do is sponge some starch residue from the wall.
Walls and woodwork are two different things. He (the landlord) will probably allow the walls to be repainted, just not the woodwork.
I would second (or is it third?) the welcome to Portland, and also the advice to try to open your mind a little to things not being exactly the same as where you lived before. If you really end up still hating your craftsman house with all it's "blasted wood", good news, it's a rental, and you can always move.
If the landlord has said you couldn't paint, I'm guessing they're not going to want you to mess with the fixtures or chandelier either. 70 year old hardware can't just be stripped out of built-ins and put back in. I wish it were that easy!
It doesn't look to me like the whole house is that dark, the kitchen looks nice and bright. I'm guessing that once all of the furniture and art is out of the dining room you'll be left with a much blanker slate then you realize. I agree with others that some different art (big, with light frames and matting), furniture and window treatments will make a big difference. You may end up surprised, a cozy dining room isn't necessarily a bad thing.
good luck,
What kind of landlord expects you to keep navy blue walls? Shouldn't the landlord repaint before you move in? I'd try to negotiate for the landlord to repaint the walls a light neutral such as creme or beige.

Port Aransas Ski Vacation Rentals(33)
33 Results
Special Offer! FREE NIGHT STAY September 24 - February 28
Recent Port Aransas Reviews
So close to the beach. We LOVED IT!
Sandhaven is one of the nicest places we have stayed in Port A. The furnishings are comfortable and new, the pool is steps away. Right outside the door is the BBQ grill which made it so easy to grill out and keep an eye on the kids. We brought a boat and there was lots of room to move it around. The beach is literally a block if that and you can actually walk unlike other rentals we have stayed that said walking distance and ended up being a hike. We liked that the master was up for privacy. They have a couple of roll aways to that we used for our company. I would definately come back. The Messengers have made it a true vacation getaway. I highly recommend this condo!
A month @ Hemingways
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hemingways is very well decorated, and is very well kept. We stayed a month, and Silver Sands management company is very service oriented and worked well to exceed our expectations! The grounds are very well kept and the neighborhood is quiet and family friendly. We loved the close proximity to the beaches, Roberts park, the ferry and Charlie's Pasture as we spent a fair amount of time fishing. This place has laundry, and everything you need for a great getaway.

Better Sleep on Business Trips (cont.)
Long flights, poor seating, flight delays, turbulence, missed connections, recycled dry air, and the occasional rude or incessantly talking seatmate can all make for a less-than-pleasant experience. Here are few things you can do to help:
At the Hotel
Sleeping facilities are as important as meeting facilities.
When booking a hotel, ask for a room away from the ballroom nightclub, bar, or restaurant. If you are not with your family try to stay away from others with babies or small kids. And, above all, make sure the alarm clock in the room isn't already set to go off when you don't want it to.
Some hotels are now promoting sleep-friendly amenities. The Hilton Hotel chain commissioned the Alertness Solutions study noted above to incorporate the findings into their offerings. The Westin offers its Heavenly Bed for a good night's rest. The Benjamin Hotel in New York is all about sleep, and Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts is launching its Sleep Advantage Program next month. These hotels might provide:
Lifestyle on the Road
With room service and late-night events and dinners, making good choices to promote sound sleep may be difficult. Travelers often eat and drink more and sleep less than they do at home. Alcohol is often erroneously used as a sleep enhancer and caffeine (coffee, soda) is used to boost performance. All of these have negative impacts on sleep. On the positive side, more and more travelers realize the value of exercise and do try to use it to enhance performance. Here are some additional tips:

Ernest Dempsey — Do you think their treatment in America and East Europe or Brazil are the worst nightmare of homeless dogs? Well think again, for what you will read now is literally an earthly hell for dogs.
Today's economic giant China has places where dogs are baked alive! For any civilized individual, it will be hard to find the right words for this practice, for it is so terrifyingly wrong that the worst term one could think of will be tame in the force of its meaning to represent this horror of horrors.
The practice of cooking dogs while it is alive is being reported once in a while from China. Last year, Green Prophet published a story on stray dogs being cooked alive in Eastern China. The post had photos of a small homeless puppy being lured toward a woman who was shown in the next photo to be holding the dog by its neck in tongs and cooking it over fire.
A post in the Data Lounge noted that this kind of cooking, which obviously is extremely cruel, dates back to Thousands of years in Chinese history – a kind of culinary tradition. Eastern Chinese city of Kengkou is particularly infamous for this as the photos of the story making the news were taken from there. But the practice exists, as a sore on the burdened existence of insensitive human hunger.
The write of the above post so rightly noted that while in places where consuming dogs for food is taboo, such practice indeed sounds cruel. Yet, when thought over in the context of all the animal bloodshed and cruelty to animals in the west and other parts of the world, it will become a bit difficult to condemn the Chinese alone for what they do to dogs. In a world where a living, breathing animal, capable of feeling pain and emotions and as much part of our natural scene as any human, how can we overlook what happens to cattle, pigs, poultry, and other animals and still say that we condemn cruelty to animals in China.
In this global drama of senseless slaughter, animals are conveniently made "source of protein" to justify the massacre. Burning dogs alive for food in China is again a reminder that we need to stop now – even now if we could – because life is rotting in our furnace of ignorance.
To urge China and request President Obama to raise this issue of brutal treatment of dogs in China, Linda Camac has started a petition online. Dog lovers, opponents of animal cruelty, and those against using animals as food are all invited to sign the petition online and be the voice of the victims.

One of America's beloved couples is splitting. Katie Holmes announced that she is divorcing Tom Cruise. Whether or not the public was truly fond of the couple or not is unclear but we have loved to follow their every move. The couples which were wed for nearly six years and have daughter Suri together had not been seen together since February 2012.
As a Mother Katie inspired women from their fashion choices with her child to her parenting style. Katie's attorney issued a statement stating that "This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family" adding that "Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest."

New Olympus Stylus Tough 6010 fails to get the SDHC memo
While the E-P1 has moved on to the SD/SDHC land, we have some sad news for you. The just-announced Olympus Stylus Tough 6010 stubbornly avoids the SD/SDHC memory cards, thus damning this promising new camera to a limited audience. Olympus, wake up again!
The other silly thing is the camera name, "Stylus Tough"? Might as well call it "Butterfly Tough" ;-)
The Olympus Stylus Tough 6010 is a new element-proof camera, and it follows up on the 8000/6000 duo that was announced at CES 2009. It has a lot of similarities. One difference is perhaps the addition of
Art Filters "Magic Filters". But we don't know if they play the song "Hey man, nice shot!" when activated ;-)
The camera (so far) has been announced in Asia and the UK, but not in Japan or the US yet. We do not know if this is intended to be a limited-release geographically or it will make the rounds later on. The UK price is 300GBP with an expected August release.

Google has teamed with Norad again this year to track Santa.
"Another tradition that brings joy to youngsters everywhere is the one started in 1955 by NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, which every year counts down to Christmas Eve and tracks Santa's whereabouts as he delivers presents across the globe. Google similarly started tracking Santa in 2004 and has been partnering with NORAD on this fun project since 2007. Keeping the tradition alive, today marks the kick-off of this year's countdown at www.noradsanta.org. On the NORAD website, kids can play holiday-themed games (a new one is released each day) and get updates from the North Pole as Santa prepares for his big sleigh ride."

It's been six years since then-3-year-old Madeleine McCann went missing, but that hasn't stopped authorities from looking for her. In fact, earlier this summer, the case was reopened, and Scotland Yard appeared to be taking an especially aggressive approach to finding the missing child, who would be 10 years old now. They've even now joined forces with Portugal police, assembling a new team, which will make inquires and question witnesses on behalf of Scotland Yard. It definitely piques our interest about what sort of information they've come across recently that has convinced them to amp up the investigation.
At the very least, it seems to have to do with the fact that over the past two years, they have found "a wealth of new witnesses and leads involving 38 suspects," according to The Mirror. And one of the new compelling voices is a 73-year-old cab driver.
The cab driver thinks he may have picked up Madeleine and at least two men and one woman the night after she disappeared. Whoa. Let's hope he can shed some light on what may have happened ... and help lead the investigators to her whereabouts.
Knowing witnesses like this cab driver and others may be able to divulge telling details is HUGE. I feel like the McCanns and the public can also take heart in the fact that Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood said that over the last two years, his review has shown "there is no clear, definitive proof that Madeleine is dead." Therefore it only makes sense that U.K. and Portuguese forces would unite to try to do everything in their power to find her. From what we know, it sounds like they've already got a great start ... Fingers crossed these promising leads bring Madeleine home sooner rather than later.
What do you think about the new information in the Madeleine McCann case?
Image via Teri Blythe
I'm praying the new leads can bring her home to her family, but who knows what kind of scars that child will carry with her for the rest of her life, especially if she was sold in the sex trade business. As disturbing as it sounds, it is an unfortunate reality, even with children as young as 3 (the age she went missing). Prayers for the family! I can't fathom their pain of not knowing what happened to their daughter all these years.

MILWAUKEE (WSAU) - When President Obama comes to Milwaukee on Labor Day, one of the state's most prominent Democrats will not be with him.
The Journal Sentinel says U.S. Senator Russ Feingold will attend a pre-parade event on Monday morning at Milwaukee's Laborfest. But he won't be in town later in the day when the president arrives to speak at Laborfest about the economy.
Feingold has his own Labor Day appearances planned in Kenosha and his home town of Janesville.
Feingold spent the day with Obama the last time the president was in Wisconsin last month. They appeared together in Menomonee Falls and Milwaukee. Feingold is in a tough re-election battle this fall. And he has denied trying to distance himself from a president that's below 50 percent in major approval ratings.
The two have differed on Wall Street reforms and the troop build-up in Afghanistan. But Feingold told the Journal Sentinel last month, "I will stand with the president of the United States anywhere, any time, no hesitation. I'm proud of what this president has tried to do."
