My little sister who is 16 , is moving in with us. Recently , she has been giving my parents , who are not so young now absolute crap at home , and tactful as always , my partner suggested that she move in with us , on the basis that as two young professionals we are normally out , entertaining and being entertained by business associates , or just with friends , leaving an idea situation for her , where she can be semi – autonomous in our care. On face value , this should work. She’ll get the independence that she craves , and well Mum and Dad’s life should be made easier. But I have my concerns
I feel , that she is being rewarded for what is diabolical behavior (drug taking , drinking , promiscuity and the likes) with greater freedom and more personal space, and although we are helping my parents , and I have a hell of a lot of respect for them , on his wage , my partner could have easily paid , and we did consider , for her to be backpacked off to a boarding school. Instead she is coming to live with us.
And yes on the surface it is fine , we have a large house so she can be contained , but I am worried now , that like mum and dad , me and my partner are going to become victim to her appalling and time aggressive behavior, I mean how awkward will it be if she starts bringing drunken crowds of friends back , or even boys she has picked up – furthermore , my partner is a lovely guy with a sense of duty both to his family and his in law family , but I don’t think he is realizing what he is entering , and I think it could quite easily have a negative effect on our relationship and , our sex life.
So what should we do ? ; Her continuing to live with mum and dad isn’t an option at all , they really cannot cope with her anymore – so is there any advice

OK..lol I know that sounds bad like “spoiled little girl using daddy’s credit card” but I swear I’m not spoiled. I am trying to be free and independent, but my parents..mostly my mother wants me to continue using my dad’s account so that we get greater benefits from the credit card (cash back crap, or some sort of percentage). I was trying to argue that I need to start my own credit score or else I’m screwed in the future.
My dad’s the primary cardholder, but I have my own card with my name on it connected to that account…I don’t know what the term for that is bc “join account” is when we’re as “equals” in the account correct?
So, I’m wondering does this layout benefit my credit score at all? Or is the only way for me to improve my credit score is to get my own credit card as a primary cardholder and just not listen to my mom?
I have my own checking account that I opened jointly with my father, but it’s pretty much my account because I’m the only one that uses it mainly for utilities (also, I did use my checkcard, before my mother persuaded me to just use my father’s credit card). I’m not sure if I ever took my dad off my join account or not…but how does all this affect my credit score?
Please help financial, banking, accounting professionals and just the general knowledgeable, thanks!

I ask because marriages in the US usually end in divorce (55% divorce rate) and of those Men are usually the ones harmed most by the legal “benefits” of marriage, which are designed to be anti-male. Also the whole issue of same-sex marriage is based on the legal “benefits” of marriage; if NO marriage was legally recognized and only religious marriages allowed, or civil marriages (for atheists) neither with any legal benefits, wouldnt that whole issue be solved ? seems to me you end that whole debate, and end the unjust and sexist favoritism that allows women to mat men and come out with all of a mans assest. Just let who can be married in a religious ceremony be made by that religion, and have no legal benefits, and let civil marriages also have no benefits. Since marriage is such a contentious point, and is abused by women and a few men for financial gain, it seems to me marriage should be de legalized so to speak… what do you think?

Okay so, in my english class, we have to create our own poll/survey on social networking.
So could you answer these few questions? (:
1. How many hours do you spend texting, on the internet, and/or watching tv? All together.
2. Do you think Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, or any other internet site that allows you to speak with other people is addicting, and does it effect your grades?
3. Would you rather talk to someone in person or text/IM them? Don’t say ‘depends the the person.’ Just answer the best you can!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH.
Could you always put your age! That’d help (:

Why is it that people with Busa’s swear they have been 200mph on their stock or slightly modded bikes. For starters, the bikes are restricted to 186mph. Also, pretty much every sport riding publication has tested both Busa’s and ZX-14’s WITHOUT restrictions and couldn’t reach 200mph, most of them never even broke 190mph. Cycle World Magazine claimed to have reached a top speed on a 99 un-restricted Busa of 194 mph, but the closest any other national publication got was 190 mph on the 99 un-restricted model. Remember were talking about professional riders on closed courses, not some kid at bike night who thinks the freeway is his personal drag strip.
Another problem that people don’t seem to want to except is that unless the speed your going has been GPS or LIDAR verified, your NOT going that speed. The big 4 motorcycle manufacturers, Independent groups and the prominent Magazines all will and do tell you the same thing……The Speedo’s on the bikes are off. Now they wont say how much, most will down play the numbers to 1-3%, but even if that’s all it was, at 186 mph (less the 3 percent) your actual speed would be 180.4 mph. However most independent studies have confirmed that the number is actually more like between 6-9%. ( which would mean your speedo 186mph is really 11.1-16.7 less that in actual mph).
Its funny, but people seem to think the rule of physics don’t apply to them when the straddle a Sportbike. To even reach 190 mph you have to beat the physics of what it takes to reach that speed. For example…….The Coefficient drag, Aerodynamic drag, tire growth at speed due to increased pressure when it heats up, amount of grip a the pavement has, amount of slippage a tire has (tire slip increases with speed due to aerodynamic drag. The wheel may be spinning at a certain speed but the bike is not.), relative humidity, Esoteric cooling, head or cross winds, rolling resistance, internal resistance and certainly the size of the rider. The bigger the rider, the more amount of drag he/she will generate.
Super Street Bike Magazine took a 2nd Gen Busa to Honda’s 7 mile oval test facility in the Mohave desert with hopes of cracking 200 mph. The rider was over 6 foot, 200 plus lb’s…kinda your “every guy” rider. They modded the busa as follows : KR Tuned full exhaust, PC III, Quick shifter, K&N Filter, TRE and a +25hp shot of NOS. The Busa cracked the dyno at just over 207 hp and the best run they picked up was 194.2 mph.
Now Brocks Performance was able to crack 200mph on a “lesser modded” 2nd gen Busa, but even that is pushing it. They ran full exhaust, PC III, custom mapping, performance filter, specialized on board computer, a team of data analysts on the side, special bearings, lighter wheels, custom made chain, custom made sprockets, modified air box…….but yes they did reach just under 202 mph……lol
I just don’t get how people can say they went 200 mph on stock or lightly modded bikes, when the data clearly shows time and time again…..you cant.
If you haven’t had major engine work done, aren’t running a turbo or serious NOS…..give it up….Next time you think your stock or slightly modded Busa or 14 is getting 200 mph, go to the Texas Mile or to Maxton…..tell them you’re here to join the 200 club…see how well that works out for you…..I’m sure they could use a good laugh.
Your STOCK Hyperbike or 1000 isnt doing 186, your 750 isnt doing 186, your 600 might not even make 160 ACTUAL mph……stop living the lie….your just making yourself look stupid.
As a sport rider myself I get so tired of hearing this “I did 200 or 190 crap” from kids who don’t even know how to balance a check book…..I can’t be the only one can I?

Hi ^^
How does new websites as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc. produce money?
All of them are free-sites. I’ve even read that megacorps as Microsoft, Yahoo, Apple have invested and mantain financial interest in all this services.
So, what’s the business behind them? Advertising, marketing, publicity?
Thank You!
