The US has too much debt. This is no longer a controversial statement. Some may believe other problems are more urgent, or that we need to grow our way out rather than slash spending. But even the most spendthrift pundits acknowledge that the debt-to-GDP ratio of the US must decrease if we are to have a stable, prosperous economy.
The private sector has reacted to this over-indebted reality as you would expect: by deleveraging. Since 2008, households and businesses have extinguished 67% of their debt when measured against GDP. Some paid debt down purposefully, and others defaulted. For our purposes, it doesn't matter how the debt went away. Only that it did.
Meanwhile, the government has done the exact opposite. It has upped its own borrowing by 52% of GDP since 2008.
As a result of these countervailing forces, the aggregate debt-to-GDP ratio has declined only slightly since 2008. Had the government not stepped in, the US economy would be well on its way to a sustainable debt path. Instead, it has shed a paltry 15% of GDP. In other words, government borrowing largely offset private deleveraging.
Why, in a country that so desperately needs deleveraging, would the government do such a thing?
The typical response is that such a quick and drastic drop in debt would have flung the US into a depression. That's probably true, as far as it goes. There's no denying that debt growth correlates strongly with GDP.
But it's only half the story. And the other half is more important.
Filling the debt gap with just any borrowing doesn't cut it. In order for debt to aid in economic growth, it needs to be productive. Borrowing for the sake of borrowing is worse than ineffective — it's destructive. Debt itself is neither good nor bad. It depends on what the borrower uses the money for.
Consider a businessman who borrows money to invest in a new project. If his endeavor is successful, it generates enough income to service the debt and return a profit. His income rises more than his debt. Viewed from a macro perspective, GDP rises faster than debt, and so the debt-to-GDP ratio declines. Paradoxically, he actually reduced the debt-to-GDP ratio by taking on debt. This is good debt.
Then there's unproductive debt, which is bad. And in times of over-indebtedness, it's really bad. Think your neighbor buying a TV on credit. He now has more debt with no additional income. He has added to debt, but not productivity. This is bad debt.
The government is the undisputed champion of creating bad debt. Borrowing to spend on weapons, relics (the post office), and losers (Solyndra) does not produce wealth. Even if you argue that some of these expenditures are necessary, they are certainly not productive, in the sense that they add only to the debt side of the ledger without even the prospect of producing income.
That's the fatal flaw of the government stepping in to fill the borrowing gap. Government debt is dead weight. It is a detriment without a corresponding benefit. And even worse, it crowds out private investment, accomplishing the exact opposite of its alleged goal of spurring growth.
The borrowing gap should be filled either with productive debt or not at all. Private businesses are indeed beginning to grow credit, albeit very slowly. That's a good sign, especially for equities — a factor that is shifting the balance between stocks and bonds that investors should have in their portfolios. But glance up at the chart one more time. Government borrowing has metastasized to the point that it consumes a third of all debt in the US, leaving private borrowing precious little room to grow.
All debt is not created equal. If the debt doesn't produce growth, it's a waste at best, and a destruction of wealth at worst.
Dan Steinhart,
for The Daily Reckoning
Prior to joining Casey Research, Dan Steinhart worked for accounting firm Deloitte & Touche, where he served dozens of Wall Street companies including private-equity, investment-banking, and asset-management firms. A CPA, Dan holds the deep and diverse financial experience needed to navigate today's highly complex investment markets.
Dear Dan, you picked very PC items for your complaint about non-productive spending. How about the disaster of welfare spending, now running at 900 billion per year. The government pays (with white people's money) Black and Mexican women to have the next generation of Democratic bastards. Wake up Dan! They the elites are doing their best to destroy our race, our culture and our civilization, and you are worried about Solendra.
The racial argument is misguided. Whites take full advantage of entitlement programs too. Millions of whites voted for Obama. My political views keep evolving. First I blamed international bankers. Then I blamed the power structure itself, the State. This last election, in which Romney and Obama got 120 million votes, has highlighted a new problem, the American public. They're a bunch of war-loving, tax-supporting, entitled assholes. It's not everyone, but it is a vast majority.
Dan, you made a very large math error. To get the reduction in the private debt you do not add the percent reduction of each. You need to take a weighted average. Or you can just take the total sum of the private debate at 2012 and divide it by it value at 2008. Also note that the biggest reduction was in the financial sector which essentially transfer their debt to the Federal balance sheet via QE1.
I don 't see any racial comment in Dan's article. What the heck are you talking about?
The other side: Sovereign currency is traded for useful work and labor. That's good debt. It enhances economic activity and stability in times where the bad debt created by the financial industry (its primary business) has created overproduced and overvalued products.
The 2.5 trillion QE or 25 trillion QE on the Fed Reserve's books can undergo debt jubilee after the asset debt system has re equilibrated. US citizens haven't starved and overpopulated US prisons, the latter very costly.
And after jubilee, the Elite bond holders can still spend their bonds on mercedes and 300 dollar a bottle wines.
Stability is something worthwhile. Ask the dead holding Reichsmark bonds or Confederate State of America bonds.

Foundation makes Treasure Coast Square shopping spree a reality for Fort Pierce girl
JENSEN BEACH — Shyly emerging from a white stretch limo Saturday at the entrance of the Treasure Coast Square Mall, 5-year-old Angelica Lopez-Aguilar arrived to realize her "wish" of a shopping spree courtesy of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida.
On Nov. 5, 2010, Angelica was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancer of the connective tissues of muscles connected to bones. She completed her chemotherapy regimen on Nov. 2, 2011.
Accompanying the Fort Pierce resident were her mother, also named Angelica Lopez-Aguilar, her 7-year-old sister, Alejandra, and volunteer Felissa Garcia, on hand to translate for the family, which speaks Spanish primarily.
There to meet Angelica with balloons, a tiara and a wand were volunteer "wish granters" Carol Bannister and Charmaine Clements. Bannister said that after meeting with Angelica and her family, they decided upon a mall shopping spree followed by lunch at Chili's.
"This was her first wish," Bannister said. "She likes to model clothes for her mom."
After receiving a pretzel and lemonade from Auntie Anne's, the group headed to Gap Kids, where Angelica chose several clothing items and some stylish accessories, including pink sunglasses, a watch and a "Hello Kitty" charm.
Asked what her favorite item was, Angelica replied, "Everything!"
Gap General Manager Regina March was happy to be included in Angelica's special day.
"It makes me feel good," March said.
Michele Pence, the mall's marketing director who had worked with the organization to ensure the day was a success, said, "We're very excited to have her here."
The group then headed to Justice, a store featuring girls' clothing and accessories, where manager Jennifer Matias welcomed them.
While there, Angelica selected some clothing, a stuffed dog and a soft sequined blanket.
After stopping at Gymboree, the group planned to head to the Hair Cuttery, where Angelica, her mother and her sister were going to get their hair styled before continuing on to other stores. Although Angelica lost her hair due to chemotherapy and currently wears a wig, a stylist was going to curl or braid it for her.
Lopez-Aguilar was appreciative of what the organization did for her daughter.
"It's something very special to her," she said.
Bannister, who has been volunteering for six years, said it is rewarding to see children's wishes come true.
"Anything in the entire world a child can wish for, Make-A-Wish makes it happen," she said.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida has granted more than 8,000 wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions since 1983. It serves families in Palm Beach, St. Lucie, Martin, Broward, Collier, Glades, Hendry, Highlands, Indian River, Lee, Miami-Dade, Monroe and Okeechobee counties. The organization receives no state or federal funding and raises money to grant wishes through corporate sponsorships, special events, foundation grants and individual contributions. The Southern Florida chapter grants a wish every 16 hours, every day of the year, at an average cost of $5,000.

Two-time All-Star Mike Hampton retires
Mar 26, 2011, 1:00 PM EDT
After allowing 12 runs on 18 hits and 11 walks over 9 2/3 innings as a non-roster invitee with the Diamondbacks this spring, veteran left-hander Mike Hampton has decided to retire.
According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, Hampton told Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers and manager Kirk Gibson on Thursday that he was leaning towards retirement. He returned to camp this morning to inform them of his decision.
"It just wasn't there," Hampton said. "In fairness to them and fairness to myself I'm just done. It's not a decision that's easy to make. It's not one you make overnight. It had been two weeks that different thoughts have been creeping in my head. Then all of the sudden I felt, I think this is going to be it."
Hampton, 38, has been limited to just 56 games since the start of the 2005 season due to a laundry list of injuries. He returned from rotator cuff surgery to toss 4 1/3 scoreless innings with the Diamondbacks last September. Besides all of the injuries, we'll probably remember Hampton best for an eight-year, $121 million contract that is considered one of the biggest free agent blunders in baseball history.
"It's unfortunate," Hampton said. "I've thought about it quite a bit. Shoot, when I sign a big contract, I want to be underpaid, not overpaid. Even though I wasn't as successful as I would have liked to have been, it wasn't from a lack of trying or lack of work or lack of want. I did everything in my power to be on the field and help my team win a World Series. I can look in the mirror and face the guy looking back and know he's telling the truth."
A two-time All-Star, Hampton calls it a career with 148-115 record and a 4.06 ERA over parts of 16 major league seasons with the Astros, Braves, Rockies, Diamondbacks, Mets and Mariners. He earned a Gold Glove Award in 2003, five Silver Slugger Awards and finished second in the NL Cy Young voting in 1999 after going 22-4 with a 2.90 ERA as a member of the Astros.
- Utley's Hair - Mar 26, 2011 at 1:24 PM
Wait…so, signing for $121 million, he wanted to be OVERpaid as opposed to UNDERpaid? Does that mean he had no intention of living up to the contract? Or was that a mistype? I hope to hell it was.
- Utley's Hair - Mar 26, 2011 at 1:37 PM
Upon re-reading the quote, I guess he actually did say that he would rather be overpaid—which I guess is human nature, though I would never admit to that. So, essentially he is saying that it's not his fault that he inked his name on a contract and failed to live up to it. Now that's class.
- aramji55 - Mar 26, 2011 at 2:21 PM
The source article has it the opposite way. Hampton actually says he'd rather be underpaid.
- D.J. Short - Mar 26, 2011 at 2:25 PM
The original article had it flip-flopped. Hampton isn't a money-hungry jerk. He's just a rich guy that got injured a lot.
- Utley's Hair - Mar 26, 2011 at 2:32 PM
Well, that restores some of my hope in humanity.
Mike Hampton, if you're reading this in your newfound free time, I wholeheartedly apologize.
I usually read the links provided in cases where I am flabbergasted about what a guy may have done or said, but I neglected to do that this time.

Hampton is a poster child for the flaws in the MLB economic system, where the players union has too much power. Guaranteed contracts are a joke, which often hamper clubs when that player gets injured. Hampton deserved to be cut loose when he proved he couldn't fulfill his contract. Unbelievable.
- Kevin S. - Mar 27, 2011 at 5:02 AM
And players who over-perform their contracts, they should also have the right to demand an upward renegotiation, right? No?
Funny, nobody ever seems to think that bargains should be a two-way street. Either we have guaranteed contracts, and there's a chance that one side or the other will draw vastly more value from it than they provide, or we go with the Charley Finley plan, and only have one-year contracts.

The one time the Mets got a break. Too bad they didn't get another one when it came to owners. Where are the Doubledays and the Paysons when you need them?

12 runs on 18 hits and 11 walks over 9 2/3 innings for the Diamondbacks? Shouldn't he be their closer?

Now my "When Will Mike Hampton Be Ruled Out For The Year" Pool is defunct.
I need to start a new one. Anyone have any suggestions?

the wonder-loom...
I think this will be a great beginner's craft for Ella. We haven't tried it yet, but it looks like you just wrap yarn back and forth around the loom, to create some nice 70's hot pads, shawls and wall hangings. It's all about the process. Who knows we might actually like something that we make.A couple of other fun items. So excited about this cutting guide. I'm not even sure what it is called but I remember my grandma used to use hers all the time to cut fabric. I love my rotary cutter but my self healing mat is on the small side. I'm excited to have something a little larger.

Former councilman Grubb dies
HUNTINGTON — Former Huntington City Councilman Nolan Grubb died Wednesday in St. Mary's Medical Center from injuries sustained in a Jan. 18 car crash.
Grubb, 61, was a member of council from 1989 to 1997, and was a financial planner and insurance representative with Money Concepts Capital Corp in its local office, Business Professional Group Financial Services.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 5 at Christ Temple Church in Huntington.
"He loved Huntington," said City Council member Joyce Clark.
According to Ohio Highway Patrol, Grubb's vehicle collided with a vehicle that had stopped for a red light at U.S. 52 and Sandusky Road in Lawrence County about 5:30 p.m. Jan. 18. Both vehicles were westbound on U.S. 52. The light had turned green, but the driver of the vehicle had not pulled away from the intersection.
Grubb was transported to St. Mary's along with a 17-year-old Chesapeake girl and Lydia Musick, 18, of Chesapeake. Two other girls in the car were not transported to the hospital. Grubb was alone in his vehicle, according to Sgt. Kevin Kobi of the Ohio Highway Patrol.
Grubb's belief in Huntington's future was well-known. In 2012, he made an unsuccessful bid to return to City Council. Asked how the city could foster economic development, he said, "Huntington is blessed with an excellent team of economic developers who know their jobs and have proven themselves over the past several years. The best thing is for the elected officials to make suggestions and then stay out of the process."
A native of North Dakota, Grubb arrived in Huntington in 1977. In 2009, he wrote a guest column about the city and its future.
"Nothing good ever happens without effort and work by someone willing to make a difference," he wrote.
He noted the work of a number of Huntington residents in business and the arts and concluded the city will rise due to the "hundreds of people (who) continue to pour themselves into this community and believe that Huntington not only can, but will, be a great city and place to raise a family."
Clark recalled seeing Grubb recently with his granddaughter Elia, and him saying he was on a "dinner date with his best girl" at Bob Evans Restaurant.
"He didn't speak in a childish manner with her," Clark said. "He spoke to her like a grown-up."
His pastor, Chuck Lawrence of Christ Temple Church in Huntington, called Grubb "a phenomenal man," noting he was well educated, well versed and well read, with just the right saying, song or poem for every situation.
"He was a man on fire and people caught that fire from him," Lawrence said. "This is truly a great loss for Huntington because of how he cared and presented that caring."
His many postings on Facebook centered on music, poetry, his family, daughter Anne Yon -- who is a Cabell County Commissioner -- and his granddaughters.
Cabell GOP Chairwoman T-Anne See considered Grubb a dear friend.
"Political meetings I had scheduled with Nolan always morphed into a time of singing and listening to music, as we both loved to sing. Those who knew him well knew he was as passionate about music as he was his politics," she said.
"Our party has lost a fine American and I have lost a friend."

DD has not spoken to us for weeks(27 Posts)
A bit of background: we are moving house, where we have been since DD was 3. She is now 17. We have to move somewhere smaller and cheaper. DD will not be moving schools, but will be moving area. When the idea of moving first came up she was furious, but calmed down and appeared to be excited about the idea of moving. She came and looked at one place with me, but couldn't come to the next as she was working; and that appeared to be the trigger for the shut down. She refused to listen to any details of the house, and when I made an appointment for her to look at it with me, rocked up quarter of an hour late (the house is less than 5 minutes from school).
Since then, and that was the beginning of November, she has refused to say anything other than the occasional word. None of it is helped by the fact that we rejected the two houses we saw (both needed expensive work) and there is nothing for sale in the area we want to be in, and precious little to rent either, particularly as we have animals. Our sale is galloping on - there is absolutely no way we are going to pull out - and unless something new appears in the New Year, we are going to have to rent in a different area, but one in which she will still be able to go to the same school.
I have tried and tried to get her to tell me what the problem is, but she flatly refuses. All she will do is say she is "fine" in a tiny, tiny voice. She appears to be (mostly) doing alright at school, though I now find out she hasn't done as well as expected in her biology mock. It appears to be just us she is furious with. If other friends are in the room, she is completely normal with them.
Having tried and failed to get her to open up, I am now trying to treat her normally, and ignore the silence. Help. Am I just getting it horribly wrong? I am absolutely at my wits' end. And sorry for the length of this.
Not sure how much help I am going to be.
fwiw, I do think 17 is a funny age, in that she will not feel quite a grown up yet, and still want roots, but at the same time she may be starting to want to fly the nest.
I think my main question here is, is she planning to leave home in the near future, say to uni?
It could be other things that are bothering her. The list may be quite long. For instance, you say you need to move to a smaller house. Might she be feeling a bit embarassed about that in front of her friends?
She might be concerned about the animals moving?
Can you remember what sort of things or reasons she gave for not wanting to move, right near the beginning. Even things you may have dismissed, as not being the real reasons?
she is old enough to understand the reasons - have you explained the financial realities?
A six-week sulk? Blimey. Well done for not going apeshit at her. This is incredible.
basically she sucks it up, and at 17 it is time she learned that. No school change, still able to see her friends - where's the problem?
Do you have pets buried in the garden?
Does she like a boy in the immediate neighbourhood?
Is she a person who gets very attached to things?
If she's been there for the whole of the life she can remember, she's probably very attached to where you live - for her, it's the place where she feels safe, where she's achieved everything to date and it probably feels like its a part of her and she's a part of it. She could well be terrified of the changes that are taking place for her.
Knowing the reasons for leaving, and accepting them, doesn't mean she won't feel bad about it. She may have been invited to look at where you're going but if she just doesn't want to go in the first place, she'll still be feeling lousy.
I would say explain to her the economics of the situation and she will just have to accept it and she will just need to deal it. Which she will, in due course. But the edgy time between agreeing to sell and actually completing is likely to be difficult for her, and possibly you all, to deal with.
Does she drive? Perhaps some driving lessons if not to get her back to the old area.
Thanks so much for all your replies. amillion, yes, she is planning to go to university, so won't be in the new house that much. As for the animals, she adores the dog, but is unbothered by the cat (who is, to be fair, a man's cat. She doesn't approve of women). The dog is a non-negotiable for all of us. We have to go somewhere the dog can come too, and DD does know that. We do have pets buried in the garden, but they died when she was very small, and I don't think that's a problem.
Specialsubject, yes, she is aware of the financial realities, and does acknowledge that we don't have a choice. And yes, there is a pretty large part of me that says really it could be a whole lot worse. DH comes from an army family and moved every 2 years.
SecondhandRose, well there's a point. She had birthday money for driving lessons but has spent it all.
Beckandcall, I think that is a pretty accurate assessment of how I think she must be feeling.
Do you think I should go over the economics of it again with her? I wish I could help her in dealing with it, but our approaches are quite different. Mine is to suck it up and get on with it.
Actually, thinking about it, she might well be embarrassed about moving to a smaller house, as one house which is an estate sale and coming onto the market in January she has been very negative about because it is small, though in the right area.
It is so frustrating not being allowed to do or say anything to help.
Moving away to university is a huge deal and maybe she feels that too much is changing at the moment or that she is being excluded? Will she have her own room at the new house? So when she comes back from uni she will have her own space.
Perhaps you could include her in shopping for some new things for the new house? Maybe just the two of you sometimes? Give her a small allowance to buy things for her new room? Things to make her feel all the more involved and to get excited about.
Perhaps you could present her with a checklist of possible reasons why she doesnt want her to go, in a grid. And leave it where she can see it or give it to her over a mealtime.
And ask her to tick the reasons that are appropriate.
That way she can comunicate, but still doesnt have to immediately talk about the move.
Actually, as I am writing this, I am getting frustrated too.
She is 17 years old, not 7.
Unless she has medical issues of some kind, this huge sulk is really not on.
I would try what people have suggested on here.
Failing all that, and I suppose it might have to wait till a few days after xmas,I would start getting tough. Insist she talks about life in general, even if not much about the move. Else start removing teenager privileges, such as lifts, pocket money or whatever.
I adtually think moving away to uni may be part of the problem. As she will never live in the new house for long, it will never become her home - and it's really hard to feel that you don't have a home. My parents have moved over 100 miles from where I grew up, went to school, still have many friends etc. We go and visit it my parents, but it's like we're on holiday - I've never lived in that house and so it just isn't "home" to me in the way the area I grew up in always will be.
I was vile as a 17 year old - truly awful. It must be so hard for you to be shut out like this. I think remaining calm, acknowledging that things are hard for your dd and carrying on as much as you can as normal are the only things you can do. Good luck.
I think you have been incredibly patient, personally. I'd have given my DD a huge row by now along the lines of 'grow up and deal with it, none of us particularly wanted to move - life is shit at times and not helped by your childish attitude'. Ask her if it's ever occurred to her that YOU are unhappy/worried about moving as she piles her teenage dramatic sulks onto you, and that when she is working and paying a mortgage or rent of her own she might actually appreciate that we can't all live in our ideal house - sometimes we have to settle for what we can bloody afford and lump it. I would also expect anyone living with me to have the courtesy to speak to me in civil fashion as otherwise there would be consequences, ie priviledges would be removed from them, they would be grounded, etc. She is almost an adult and it is time she behaved as one.
x posted with amillionyears but we're of the same basic opinion.
As I was typing my original post, I kept thinking what a PRINCESS she is being, so I am glad that I am not alone in thinking that. She doesn't have any medical (in the sense of mh) issues at all. amillionyears, I think that getting tough after Christmas is an excellent idea. I am tempted to try it before.
Sassysask, I did think about giving her a fund for doing her new room, but it feels a bit too much like a bribe. I have taken her out for meals, coffee etc and it's made no difference. I don't see why I should dance round her and attempt to get her out of her mood, hence the decision to carry on pretty much as normal.
I veer between thinking FFS, and then feeling sympathetic because it is awful to leave somewhere you've been for years when you don't particularly want to: though I shan't miss the endless financial drain that is the house, I am bereft at the thought of leaving my garden. So I do understand why DD is so miserable: I suppose the difference is that I've been alive long enough to know that generally one gets through these things. Maybe I should say that to her.
As a child home is your refuge from the world your room is your anchor in life's storm.
I'd have been absolutely furious if my parents had moved.
They did toy with the idea when I was ~9, but fortunately the house wouldn't sell.
I don't think you can do anything, she'd probably be just as pissed off coming home from uni to a different house.
What ever you do and wherever you move, it won't feel right.
You can't change that, only time can.
This really reminds me of me a t 14! I was away at boarding school when one day my parents rang up with the earth shattering news that we were moving house. I was so distressed that my friends thought someone had died! For me, it was partly the fact that it had come out of the blue, but also that my home was my refuge from school and I couldnt bear the thought of not having it - this may be true for your daughter too if she is about to go away to university.
Because I was basically a good girl, and didnt know how to rebel, scream and shout etc I did what your daughter is doing and went v quiet and moody. When Mum asked how I felt about it I just said "It doesnt matter how I feel" because I felt so powerless and cross about it all. I'm not proud of my behaviour but it really was the only way I knew to put my feelings across. It took my best friend from school to say "you're determined not to like the new house" to get me to take a hard look at myself!
My Mum was really good though, and made it very hard for me to stay cross, even though I did my best! She was always kind to me when discussing new house, however horrid I was being, let me have first choice of bedroom (I have 3 brothers), put up pictures etc to make me feel like I mattered. I think that really helped.
I know this makes me sound like a spoilt brat, but I really wasnt. My Mum had been v strict with us all as young children and had I been very rude or pushed the boundaries too far she would have come down on me like a ton of bricks. But I never had the typical teenage tantrums, never argued with my parents, rebelled etc. I suppose this was the nearest I got! But I think it really helped that she really tried to see where I was coming from and I did appreciate her thoughtfulness even though I often didnt show it!
Sounds as if this house move is being very stressful for all of you, and the stress is affecting her especially. She has lived in the same house all her life, she doesnt know what a move will be like, she doesnt know where she will be moving to. The fact that shes going away to university may make her feel worse, because leaving for uni is quite a scary business and its comforting to know that home is still where you left it! She doesnt have that comfort. And just to add to it, she now has two house moves ahead. I think shell feel a whole lot better once youve moved to wherever youre finally going.
Visiting the houses seemed to reassure her. Could you possibly tell her you wont move anywhere she hasnt seen first? I dont mean she gets to OK the decision, but knowing she will at least get to see the place and express an opinion before you decide might help her feel better.
Otherwise I think its fine to carry on as normal (theres nothing else to do!) but I am bit surprised that people are calling her sulky, a princess etc. Her response is natural and shes just withdrawn, shes not rude or rebellious. Shes genuinely upset and its not fair to expect her to act is if everything is fine when it isnt.
The person calling her a princess was me.... because when I write down how she's behaving there does seem an element of princess to it. She won't be going to university for another 2 years (is lower rather than upper sixth) so will have a reasonable space of time in the hew house.
My feeling (hope?) is that she'll feel better when everything is finally sorted out. And she does know that we won't go anywhere she hasn't seen first, and she does know that she can express an opinion. I think one of the things that riles her is that, ultimately, it will be me and DH who are making the decision. She has input, but not the final say.
I do think also that part of learning to be an adult is learning how to behave in a way that's constructive, and passive aggression isn't it.
TheApprentice, thanks very much for your post, which does give me a bit of hope (not saying that yours didn't Kleinzeit, btw!). She does know that she'll get first dibs of room over her brother. I have to say that she has already tried the screaming, shouting and sneering.
One other thing that might help would be to talk to her honestly about how sad you feel yourself about moving. Dont try to say but it will be fine or one gets through it instead of reassuring her, that may make her feel that that real sadness (hers and yours) is unacceptable or that sad feelings are being trivialised. Just share your own sadness and grief about it. Sometimes people have to fully acknowledge how sad they feel before they can start feeling better about what comes next.
I will give that a go, Kleinzeit, thanks.
I would share with her how you feel about your garden, maybe she will be able to see some parallels with how she is feeling.
Just coming back to this to say when my Dad sold up (the house I'd lived in from 2yrs old to 17 yrs old), I was very upset and put out.
I didn't say anything to him, I was mid twenties, married and living abroad so it would have sounded ridiculous, but I felt it all the same as in "how could he sell my home".
I think its a really hard thing for her as she is powerless without choices atm. Presumably you and her dad have made this decision and she has to accept it.. but she isn't a salary earning adult yet to choose her own home and has to go along with what you say.
I detest moving house when it is not my own choice/ have not come to terms with it and find it very hard to deal with. I missed houses we lived in for several years after moving and still feel the pain of loss of some of the houses we moved from and when my fathers house was sold.
Is there any chance of reconsidering because she is obviously suffering and it could really affect her.

The National Weather Service said many of the homes hit by the tornado in Central Arkansas did not meet state construction requirements.
They said some homes did not have anchor bolts or straps installed into the home foundation.
"The building inspector will not pass them without it," said Barling construction worker Moody Ham.
"We put them on average every four feet," Ham said.
The devastation in Central Arkansas left some wondering what would happen without an anchor bolt or strap.
"The walls would just pull right up off," Ham said. "The nails would pull right off the slab."
Fort Smith building official Jimmie Deer said bolts or straps are a statewide requirement.
"Throughout the state of Arkansas you are supposed to have anchor bolts at least 12 inches on each center on the corners and then every six feet apart," Deer said.
"If it's not properly constructed the structure is going to explode more than normal damage," Ham said.
"People cut corners for whatever reason they do and it's hard to always catch that criteria," Ham said.
"It would be pretty hard to tell after if it had straps or not," Ham said. "There's no way you could see it. They're inside the sheet rock and under the bricks so you would never see it."
Deer said if a home hasn't been built to proper standards call city administration.

Sometimes, people know that they are having issues with their gadgets and hold off getting them serviced because of the hassle that can be involved. This is understandable and there's probably a lot of people that have procrastinated when it comes to service calls.
However, if you happen to have an iPhone 4 that is having hardware issues of some sort, there may not be a better time to get it serviced. It would seem that Apple is having some logistical issues maintaining sufficient supplies of the 16GB white iPhone 4. As such, Genius Bars are being advised that in situations where local supplies have been exhausted, Apple employees have been authorized to replace a defective iPhone 4 with a refurbished iPhone 4s. Yes, you are getting a refurbished model, but you will also be getting some of the newer features that are only available on Apple's latest iPhone model, namely, a better camera sensor, the voice assistant Siri and an A5 processor.
Again, this is not a certainty and will only occur at Apple stores where supply problems exist. You could very well head into your local genius bar for service only to find that they replace like for like, but there's always a chance that you might get an upgrade.

One of the very few Mediterranean palm trees, the Chamaerops humilis is a superbly durable and hardy palm, and one of the very best in windy, exposed situations.
Its slow growth rate, and it's compact growth habit, means this dwarf fan palm is just about the only hardy palm tree, that keeps so compact. For this reason it makes an excellent specimen in container.
The Dwarf fan palm requires little upkeep, other than a monthly application of foliar feed from mid-April to September and a little pruning back of old fronds in spring and autumn.
Try mixing up a dwarf fan palm in an exotic themed border with the Canary Island date palm (Phoenix canariensis) and Chusan palm (Trachycarpus fortunei) for a truly spectacular display.
Chamaerops humilis is also known as the Mediterranean Fan Palm or Dwarf Fan Palm

I see two issues here.� The first is that you need to specify the codec to be used by adding the "-n" option to the script command line.� You can use "-h" to see the options for the script.
The second issue I see is that it is my understanding that the latest OMAP3 DVSDK release does not contain a DSP side MP3 codec.� That codec can be downloaded as a seperate package and integrated into the codec combo using the instructions at http://wiki.davincidsp.com/index.php?title=How_do_I_Integrate_new_codecs_into_DVSDK.� If not you will need to use an ARM side codec such as "mad" to decode the mp3 audio.

Families Earning Under $57,000 May Qualify
Its time to get your 2012 finances in order and think about the tax consequences. Thats true even for low- and moderate-income families. Working families with income under $57,000 will be able to access free tax preparation at numerous sites throughout the Lowcountry after the new year.
Those families may also qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit, worth as much as $5,000.
This tax season, Trident United Way is teaming up with The Benefit Bank SC to provide free tax preparation at schools throughout the region.
The following school sites have personnel trained to use The Benefit Bank: Memminger, Mary Ford, James Simmons, St. Stephen, Sanders Clyde, North Charleston and Chicora Elementary, and Sedgefield Intermediate.That will complement the free tax preparation efforts of Trident Urban League and the AARP.
Last year, nearly 2000 local families received $2.9 million in refunds. With more sites and volunteers this year, the coalition of groups supporting free tax service hopes more people can take advantage.

The National Civic League recently named Ferguson as one of 26 finalists in its 2010 All-America City Awards.
To become a finalist, Ferguson completed an application documenting three community projects that address their communities' most pressing challenges. Only 500 communities from around the country have earned this distinguished title over the past 61 years.

So what are Ferguson's three community projects that won over the judges?
As Ferguson spokesman Sam Anselm tells Daily RFT, the projects included a community garden, a neighborhood policing effort and the city's Challenger Learning Center that teaches children about space exploration.
Other cities named as All-America City finalists include:
Chandler, AZ; Bentonville, AR; Dublin, CA; Lynwood, CA; Rancho Cordova, CA; Vernon Central (neighborhood) CA; Miami Lakes, FL; North Miami. FL; Acworth, GA; Belleville, IL; Canton, IL; Noblesville, IN; Des Moines, IA; Lenexa, KS; Scott County, KS; Bowling Green, KY; Salisbury, MD; Riverside, MO; Lynbrook, NY; Gastonia, NC; West Chester, OH; Wyoming, OH; Mount Pleasant, SC; El Paso, TX; Abingdon, VA; and Middleton, WI.
