I'm confused by usage of 'raper'. If you guys see this word 'raper',...confused with 'rapper' or 'rapist'?

'Raper' is a very oblique and non-standard way to refer to 'one who rapes' and is not included in most dictionaries. The word has most likely come to be in the 2003 edition of the Princeton University WordNet 2.0 lexical database, where I found it, due to the frequency of its incorrect usage. Many new words enter the English language this way, such as 'spelled' or 'dreamed', but this one is just too awkward for my preferences! \n\nIt is not the form used by educated or native speakers of English. 'Rapist' is the preferred term. Seeing 'raper' makes me think the writer either doesn't know how to spell 'rapper' or that they think it's accepted English to refer to a person who rapes as a 'raper' and therefore that they do not understand the suffixes of agent nouns in English... Either way, I consider its usage incorrect. 'Raper' is a last name, and stems from the word 'reaper' meaning 'one who harvests'. That, for me, is its only correct usage.

Is it God's plan for true lovers to meet? If so, is there anyone for me out there, the only woman of my life?

I've always been patient for the only one woman God made for me from anywhere in this big World. I've searched internet and any where else but not found her yet. So please if you feel it could be you and you've also been waiting for your only man from God, hope this is the right time for the two of us to meet. (my e-mail: kiab23@yahoo.com)

Hi, Number one thing to do is stop looking. Number two thing to do is don't rely on an entity to sort out your love life. Rely on your own abilities. But recognising 'non-action' is a key.

If Jehovah Witnesses accept holiday pay, does that mean Satan is paying their wages?

I was just told that Jehovah Witnesses don't celebrate any holidays. In fact they think Fathers day and Mothers day is a day created by Satan. So are birthdays. So, if these pagan days like New Years and Christmas are so evil, shouldn't you give the money back? Isn't Satan paying your wage? And don't tell me you give it to the church. God doesn't want "evil" money. \n\nhttp://www.escapefromwatchtower.com/holidays.htm

Double Venturi, If you had a "V" and each half of the "V" was another Venturi style funnel,

would the pressure at the point of the "V" be 4 times the pressure of the original substance(either liquid or Gas)

The pressure difference between the opening(s) and the constricted part of the venturi should be proportional to their cross-sectional areas taken as Pi *r^2 or Pi*(D/2)^2.\n\n* is multiply\nPi is ~ 3.14\nr is radius\nD is diameter\n^ is "to the power"\n\nIf the opening has a diameter of D, and the constricted part has a diameter of d, then the pressure increases at d by the multiple of:\n\npi*(D/2)^2 / pi*(d/2)^2\n\neverything cancels except (D/d)^2\n\nso, if the diameter of the openings is 2 units (like inches) and the diameter of the narrowest part is 1 unit, the pressure at the narrowest point increases by:\n\n(2/1)^2 = 4 or 4-fold.\n\nYou should have someone check me; this is derived from scratch!

I have some skin discoloring on my skin. Its just lighter then the rest of my skin?

It is a rash that does not itch. Patches on my arm are whiter then the rest of my skin. It does no hurt just icky looking. There's a cream for it with out seeing a Dr. I know there is I just dont know what kind.

I HAD THIS SAME THING! ugh, its so annoying, haha. its probably really dry skin or a harmless fungus. what i did was use a moisturizer daily and about every other day i put on hydrocortisone (ointment for dry skin) and tolnaftate (an anti-fungal cream). both of these you can get over the counter at your local pharmacy and are safe and effective to use. after a month or so i still have some SLIGHT discoloring, but it is not nearly as noticable as it was before and no longer bothers me. i also got a tan, too, which might have helped! if this doesn't work, you will probably have to see a doctor or a dermatologist to get a stronger cream or different diagnosis.

What do I do about my friend?

So I have this friend who I think has a lot of drama in her life. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that she was starting to ignore me. So I thought she was mad and I kind of stood back not knowing what to do. Then she comes at me with all this crap about how I wasn't there for her when she was going through a breakup. I told her that I didn't want to be in the middle of that drama and that I wanted to keep my space.& I said this the nicest way possible too.But oh no she said i was acting like a bittch and that abandoned her.She was the one who was ignoring me in the first place.Then one sunday we text messaged about it and i apoligized because I didn't want even more drama.Well the next week after that we didn't talk at all after making up &I hear from other friends that she was talking to them in class & calling me and my other friend conniving wenchs. Then for her b-day I made her this present in clothing class & put it in her locker &she never said thanks. & were still not talkin

Constant mood swings and irritability can be a sign of a chemical imbalance, and other things including depression and ADD and well a variety of ailments these should be check for through a doctor (often second and third opinions are needed,and if put on medications they need to be watched for side effects including more severe symptoms like the ones they have already, as this can indicate a misdiagnosis or wrong medication)\n\nHelping out at home...with these things...food can cause mood swings and irritability. things high in caffeine, and sugar as well as salt can all have an impact on how a person reacts to other people and environment. Don't allow things like caffeinated sodas and energy drinks in the home, and most important follow up with a doctor and a nutritionist to help with this.

What would you do if science demonstrated (uncontestably from your point of view) that there is no God?

This question is mainly for religious people.\n\nPlease don't give answers like: "This is impossible", "There must be a god" and so on.\n\nJust imagine the situation and tell me how you will react to this. How will this change your life?

Excellent food for thought!\n\nConsidering the fact that I am more of a spiritual person than religious, I would just go on in life as it is. My father always questioned the theory of evolution -vs- the teachings of the bible. We would have long arguments about what was right. I know what I believe in my heart. There has never been any real proof of anything, either way, so I don't believe my life would change as I believe that there is a supreme being by which my choice to call is God. I do believe that I will be rewarded for all the good that I do here on earth and I do have full faith that there is a better place waiting for me. I also believe that in my heart, I am punished for all my wrong doings as I, like all ppl, am instilled with morals and values, of which for me, are very high. \n\nPerhaps in having morals and values, we have the ability to pass judgement upon ourselves, thereby passing on what we believe to be an acceptable punishment should we choose to do so. This is through the guilt we feel for wrong doing and the happiness for the positive in life.

What is the best way to get people to try a new restaurant?

It's in a strip mall in a developing upscale neighborhood & warehouse businesses. Besides the newspaper, what else can I do? When people do come in, I'm highly praised for the food. Yet, the place is empty in the p.m. The decor is modern. I also get compliments on it.

Do you want your restaurant to attract "upscale" customers in keeping with the neighborhood (and your highly-praised food)? If so, don't do coupons, don't do 2-for-1 deals, don't do any kind of food discounts at all. To do so gives the impression that you are going for the bargain-hunter customers and that can be the death of an upscale or "boutique" (one-of-a-kind) type of restaurant. Once you start with the discounting, the people who eat out based on that will continue to expect it. That kind of customer is notoriously fickle and disloyal. They're looking for a bargain, not for great food in an up-and-coming neighborhood.\n\nIf you want to run on that treadmill, then use that technique. If, on the other hand, you want to attract consistent, loyal customers who like good food in an interesting neighborhood you need word of mouth, plus some reminders for the kinds of customers you want. Having a happy hour (if you have a bar) can't hurt at all; just make it something really nice, not a cheap-beer free for all.\n\nRestaurants can take years to become established, so you do need to be patient. But in the meantime, make sure everyone in the neighborhood knows you're there - not with discounts, but with signage, simple ads in local publications (not just citywide papers), and by hosting events and/or live music. Be sure that the local restaurant critics (print, radio, AND TV) and alternative media know that you exist (many cities have papers other than the big dailies, plus "local-flavor" magazines). You don't have to take out an ad to do this. Send them a press release about an event or any small change in your restaurant - it's their job to keep track of things like this. Be sure you get your name in the balloting for "best of" competitions - many cities of all sizes have them.\n\nBe sure that you personally talk to your customers about the business and listen to their ideas as well. They are your best marketing by far - the better you treat them, the faster you will get more customers. And listen to them about the menu and the pricing. Get to know the customers who have lots of experience in the restaurants in your city and in your neighborhood - they can give you invaluable insight into all kinds of things.\n\nOne last thing - it never ceases to amaze me how many restaurant owners lose track of their business by putting other people in charge. You personally have to be there as many hours as humanly possible until you are getting the kind of business you want. You are going to have to listen and adapt and adapt again to be able to make it - to do that you personally have to be in that place to know how to adapt. If you're already doing that, you're way ahead of many other restaurants and you're doing something that has led many restaurants toward success.

Why are Eastern Orthodox churches subdivided along national lines?

i.e. why is there a 'Russian Orthodox Church', 'greek Orthodox Church', 'Bulgarian Orthodox Church', etc. etc. etc.\n\nAre there any differences in beliefs or practices?

It has a little to do with religion, but more to do with politics. The Greeks were the originators of Orthodox Catholicism. The Russians adopted it later and everyone was happy for a while. Then the Greeks declined and Russia ascended in power. When Byzantium collapsed, the Russians essentially took over as leaders and protectors of the Orthodox religion. Of course they made certain changes that the Greeks didn't agree with and you see your first big split. All's cool again for a while until Russian Orthodoxy decides to make a few reforms. Nothing major, but trying to correct some corrupted texts, slightly change a few traditions, that sort of thing. Unfortunately, the Russian method of encouraging change has always been rather...forceful. Whoever wouldn't change was excomunicated. The big problem with this was that it seemed to say that all the people and saints who had gone before and practiced Orthodoxy by the old ways were irredeemably wrong. Certain traditional Russians couldn't accept such this, and the second big split occurred. Then you have Russia's imperial ambitions. Russia thought of itself as the defender of the faith, with Moscow being like a '3rd Rome.' It wished to be a hegemon in Eastern Europe and used this religious mandate as justification. The other countries would have been more or less willing to let Russia have it's way - it's nice having big friends, after all - except that as the best and the biggest, Russia expected these other countries to become like mini-Russias. Russia thus tried to impose its language, government, religion, etc. on them. Eventually these countries had enough and wanted to split. Now keep in mind that religion at this time is inherently linked to power and to government. To split from Russia but keep its religious leaders as the head of your religion is not to split from Russia at all. So you end up seeing a lot of nationally divided splinter groups. I'm not saying there aren't also legitimate theological differences, but they were probbly initiated and exaggerated by political factors.

How much bandwidth does the world go through in a day?

Bandwidth is a measure of data volume over time. Do you mean how much cumulative data is transferred over the course of a day? I'd say that number is probably close to a petabyte (a million gigabytes).

How did you meet your boy or girlfriend?

I had a friend who wanted to meet someone. She was a lot older than me and wasn't the bar type. We put an ad in a newspaper but it was only a local one because we couldn'y afford anything else. Anyway, I came across an internet site that flashed up in a pop up whilst I was downloading music. It was for a dating site called Loopy love. I checked it out and it was free.\nSo I called her and she came over and she asked me to show her what to do. She wasn't computer literate so I made myself a profile, even though I had decided I wasn't dating ever again after a horrible relationship, and she watched me, so she would know what to do. Then we did her one. It was a bit of fun.\nA few hours later, I had one message, from a guy who said he was in the same town as me. As it was an internet thing I knew I had no obligations to him, so I could have a little fun. We emailed back and forth and after about three emails I realised that he sounded my cup of tea.\nWe swapped numbers and I found out he worked on my road. Better still he was the guy I waved at flirtaciously every day on my way into town. Even better still, the photo he sent me confirmed this.\nAnyway, we started dating and now we're getting married!\nI wasn't a computer freak, but I found love by accident haha.

Civil War scholars and experts: what is your opinion?

To prove that history is constantly being rewritten, I have heard some people claim recently that Abrahan Lincoln was one of our worst presidents. Their justification for this is the belief that the Confederate states would have happily returned to the in Union 20-30 years, after it became apparant that slavery was no longer tolerated elsewhere in the civilized world. They say slavery was already dying out, and that North and South could have parted amicably, and then reunited with no ill effects. Is this a realistic scenario? If our country had split in two, would France or England have tried to control one region or the other?\n\n560,000 people died in the Civil War. Some revisionists are saying it was too high a price, and not necessary.

Yeah, you're right on the money.\n\nFrance and England had been at each other's throats for about a hundred and fifty years by the time of the Civil War. They were the US and Russia of the eighteenth and nineteenth century. As a united nation, the US was too powerful an economic force to be the puppet of either. But as two nations, the US would not have been. \n\nThe Confederacy especially would have needed a trading partner with manufactured goods to offset its agrarian economy. It really would have become a satelite state of France.\n\nYes, slavery was dying out and the south was the last place in the Western world to allow it. But the realities of the time would have turned the Confederacy towards France and the North towards England. It would have stopped westward expansion by the US. It would have given the Japanese free reign in the Pacific. Lord knows what the Germans would have done.\n\nTwenty or thirty years would have been too long to bring the Confederacy back to the fold. 1860 to 1890 was a vital time of nation-building, developments in manufacturing, railroad construction, steel and oil mining and more that could not have been done by two separate American nations.

Why do some women mess around with men that already tooken?

Somehow when I was dating husband, we went on a double date with his friend and this chick. As day went on I noticed that she and my husband (boyfriend at that time) we being a bit flirtious and I got ticked off and I checked right away! Shortly after that occasion we broke up and I found out that they messing around. But she did that with every guy and he then beg forgiveness. Of course I didn't forgive him so easily but its been some years since but I can't help to think about this stupid girl! I ask myself why do some women do that??? Because I never have, I never had to!

It's because some women are very greedy and they just want what they can't have. Have you every wanted something, but were told you couldn't have it? It's like that. I'm not saying it's a good thing. On the contrary, I think dating married men or women is terrible, but the reason they do it is because if they know someone is unatainable (married or seeing someone) they will go after that person to prove that they CAN have him or her. I'm sorry about this double-date thing, by the way.

Why is discrimination so much in life today?

Honestly....It's not. Far less than past history. Problem is most blacks bring up the race card against the whites still. Twenty year old kids no nothing of race discrimination, and have no business claiming they're entitled to money from the government due to slavery. The U.S. government owes blacks nothing anymore. The indians bitch less and whites stole everything from them and wiped out most of the tribes too. Trust me. Discrimination isn't so much these days. If you're white you're white. Act white. If you're black, you're black. And act black. But don't claim anything because of your color.

Do you think the Korea vs Swiss game was fair?

The referee was so unfair. \n\n1. He ignored so many of fouls done by Swiss players\n\n2. He ignored two handling by Swiss\nThis is two penalty kicks for Korea , meaning two great chances to get points.\n\n3. The last goal was so offside\nThis was the most unacceptable one. There are millions of TV's going on live and he tried to cheat. \nThere are millions of eyes watching there. \nWe all saw the co-referee's flag go up, meaning OFFSIDE\nBut the blind referee calls it a goal. WE ALL SAW IT CLEARLY!!\nIS this referee blind or what. How can that not be a offside. I would forgive for the other mistakes that he made or "cheats". But this one is unforgivable. FIFA WORLD CUP should be a fair game. IT even says on their FIFA LAWS. what's the point of having a law if no one is going to follow it. This game was so not fair. Hope that another incident like this would never happen because it breaks the nation's heart and the millions of fans watching out there as well as the players'.GO KOREA

1 Get a life already ! Excuses. I watched the game there were no such things as unseen fouls.\n\n2 Do you know when it is apenalty ? when the handball done inside the penaltybox is deliberate. None of the handballs you say were deliberate.\n\n3 The linesman's flag was up , clearly, Frei was in a offside position. BUT when the ball was passed it touched a Korean player on the way . Thus it turned into a pass from a swiss player to a misspass from a korean. In case of a misspass the players offside position gets nullified, even if the whole swiss team was in offside & a misspass was made. this is the FIFA rule from 2003. The ref can overturn linesman's descision. He followed the rules & was right.\n\n\nGood for Korea as they got a test of their own medicine. Remember how they cheated past Italy & Spain in 2002 ? The people who said Korea deserved it need to consider these facts after 2002-\n1 Korea didnt win Asian Cup Japan did\n2 Korea finished 2nd to Saudis (!) in qualifiers\n3 They lost 3-1 to Ghana in the build up.\n\nHow come you Koreans not say anything about how Vieira's legal goal was mistakingly ruled out ? If it stayed you would have went out much before.

More info on Hashimoto disease and a toxin being released thats bad.?

I want info for a friend on Hashimoto disease and something else along with it that puts off a toxin in her that isn't good. I don't understand it and so far what I have read it doesn't say anything about being deadly but the way she talks it is and she doesn't have long. I need to know more. I want to find out more to help her if I can.

Here's some information about hyporthyroidism. Also, for underactive thyroid also..which is good to know, because once you're on medication, if it's too low, you can tell with the symptoms.\nI highly doubt she's going to die. I mean, I know it's a drag and all, but I don't know that you'd die over it. I could be wrong though.\nI have also given several links below to read & perhaps you can read through & understand the different thyroid symptoms & problems. Please go through the links...learn all you can if you care about your friend, and educate her/him & be there for them as much as you can. They sound like they need your support...perhaps they are really scared, and you should be there to help them understand things. \nHere is some information about myself, plus some symptoms in case anyone coming upon your question may be interested:\nI have low thyroid. If you have low thyroid...here's a great question to answer: Can you see the floor of your house? That was what was asked of me at one point, and to my amazement, the answer was no!\nAnyway, the signs are:fatigue and lack of energy. Women suffering from underactive thyroid experience heavier menstrual periods. Sluggishness and forgetfulness are symptoms of underactive thyroid problem. Other symptoms of this thyroid disorder are dry skin and hair and constipation.\nIf you have high thyroid, or an overactive one, the signs are: increased body metabolism. This is followed by weight loss and excessive warmth and sweating. Persons suffering from overactive thyroid experience trembling hands, irritability and rapid heartbeat or palpitations. Women with overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism may experience shorter or lighter menstrual periods.\nI take medication, and sadly will have to take 1 pill everyday for the rest of my life. There's a blood check that they will do to see if you have low or high. I hope i've helped you!!

Is it important for women the size of the penis?

While there are some girls who truly do like the feeling of a really giant penis inside of them, the vast majority do not.\n\nMen are FAR more concerned with penis size than women are, on the whole.\n\nThe truth is that very few women can reach orgasm from penetration alone, regardless of the size of the penis doing the penetration. In fact, because a penis that is too large can be painful, a larger penis can sometimes prevent a girl who ordinarily CAN reach orgasm from penetration alone from being able to with the larger penis inside of her.\n\nThe truth is that as long as your penis is adequate to get the job done, you will be able to keep most women as satisfied as any larger man could. And for the rare girl who would truly like to be stretched, you can always bring out a toy of some kind – that can be LOTS of fun.\n\nThe truth is that most women require direct clitoral stimulation to achieve orgasm, which most men are not going to do with their penis anyway. Most of the time direct clitoral stimulation comes from a finger, or a tongue, or a toy. If you can learn how to properly stimulate a girl’s clitoris, you will be able to satisfy her MUCH more than you can through penetration.\n\nBesides – a smaller penis is always easier to swallow than a bigger one.

I need help reporting a person who is working with an expired visa and has a warrant in another state. HELP!?

I have a friend and he owns his own nails shop. A few years ago, he helped his wives uncle who was in Vietnam to come to the United States by singing an affidavit. This family member was living in Massachusetts until his Visa expired and he was arrested and taken to court. After that he bailed out and came to California. Sadly you would think that he would be thankful to my friend but no, to the contrary he decided to open up a nail shop right next to my friends. And to make the matter worst, he distributed flyers telling people that if they came from (X) shop will get a 50% discount the first time of their visit. My friend confronted him and told him to stop and the uncle didn’t care. So now we are looking for the right place where we can report this family member for being in California not only with an expired visa but also with a warrant from Massachusetts.

Do you beleive in Sant Claus?

Yes I believe in Santa Claus. There was a fellow who went around doing good deeds for people named Saint Nicholas. He was became a Saint in one of the branch of the Christian Religions. He lived in Turkey during the 4th Century and he was best known for his good deed to a poor man who had three daughters all of them wanted to get married but the father had no money for a dowery for each of his daughters. So that none of them would become prostitutes, Nicholas as he was called at that time went to the man's house and through an open window placed money in each of the daughter's stockings. Hence the idea of putting gifts in one stockings. There is a shrine to him in Bari Italy. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of archers,children,prostitutes, lawyers and pharamacist plus a few other people in different trades. So yes there really is a Santa Clause and he wasn't made up by coke-a-cola.

I am a american citizen with papers, passport etc but now live in Mexico.

A bunch of my American buddies who live here fulltime as well were thinking of doing it (no plans of really doing it but just thinking about it) just for the heck of it and letting the news media in the USA know before we do it....................They cant send me back to Mexico and they cant just send to home to my American cause i dont have a I dont have a permenant residence in the USA either. I asked the American consulate here in Mexico and they didnt have a answer buecause it has never happened before. For a Mexcian or a illegal it would be either catch and release, get sent back across the boarder or get a free pain ride backj.

after spending some time on the border, i asked this same question to a INS agent, i was curious because I'm cheap and wanted to save money...apparently, you can be fined for trying to avoid paying the toll...sort of like tax evasion or something stupid...they won't deport you though, you are a citizen....
