in the state of missouri, what is the maximum percentage of your weekly paycheck that can be garnished? also filing head of household what type of garnishment are you talking about? a periodic wage garnishment (like for a past due bill)? or a child support garnishment? if it is a periodic wage garnishment, the following rules apply: the maximum amount that may be held from a person's weekly wages, after withholdings required by law, is the lesser of: 1. 25% of the wages, 2. 10%, if the person is head of a family and a missouri resident, *or* 3. the amount by which the weekly earnings exceed thirty times the federal minimum hourly wage. (mo. rev. stat. §525.030.) child support payments follow different rules. generally, they are not allowed to take more than 50% of your disposable earnings. it is not subject to the minimum wage rule. (this percentage can change based on the number of children involved and if the non-custodial parent is the head of a new household.) i couldn't find anything specific online for missouri's child support laws (i live in michigan) - but it should specifically state the maximum percentage in the withholding order. | 6 |
how can i get rid of acne and pimples by just facial washing? what other help can you give out of this? go to walgreens, get some apricot facial scrub. women will know where its located. use it once in the morning, after work or school, and once before going to bed. dont scrub hard just lightly scrub your face with it.. the srub is oil free and really cleans out dirt and oil on your face. next get this lotion called "simply glowing" also at walgreens. its also oil free and wont cause zits. this cut my zits down 80%. i learned all this from my wife. now there is one more thing you can do and it may sound strange cuz your a guy and all but hear me out. there is acne medication that looks like a pen but it is also a coverup. what you do is at night before you go to bed take the pen and put the coverup over your zit or any new forming zit. not only does it cover the zip up like your normal skin but it also heals the zit or will stop a new one from comming out. it blends in so well with my skin that i put it on during the day when nobody is looking or first thing in the morning.. now pen is expensive. i stold it from my wife. walgreens or some beauty department should have it.and it works great. it looks just like a small thin pen. ask for "blemish concealer" which looks like a pen. also sometimes stress can cause zits so if you never work out try working out and see what happens. the products will work to some degree. they worked awsome for me,and it makes sense because woman alway have better skin thatn men. because we usually use plain soap and generic lotions. which is terrible for your skin good luck | 2 |

if a runner reaches home because of an error, does it still have an effect on the pitcher's era? my guess would be no, since the run wouldn't be earned, but my friend asked me and i couldn't tell him for sure. actually, it depends when the error occurred. it is possible for an earned run to score on a play that results in an error, but only under certain circumstances... if, for example, there is a runner on third base, no outs, and the batter hits a ball in the hole at shortstop. the shortstop backhands the ball but his throw pulls the first baseman off the bag for an error (let's say we have a slow runner). the official scorer could rule that the runner would have scored even if the batter was out at first, therefore, that could be an earned run. the definition of 'earned run' as explained in wikipedia, appears below: earned run from wikipedia, the free encyclopedia in baseball, an earned run is any run for which the pitcher is held accountable (i.e. the run did not score as a result of a fielding error or a passed ball). if a run is not earned, it is an unearned run. even if a runner scores on a fielding error by the pitcher himself, it is an unearned run. earned runs are specially denoted because of their use in calculating a pitcher's earned run average. in determining earned runs, the official scorer must reconstruct the inning as it would have occurred without the errors (which include catcher's interference) and passed balls, with the benefit of the doubt always being given to the pitcher in determining which bases would have been reached by errorless play. a run is counted as unearned when: * the baserunner would have been out had an error not been committed. * the run is scored after an error is committed that would have made the third out * a baserunner scores on a play where an error was committed, and the inning ends before that runner would have had a chance to score. example: a passed ball allows a runner to score. the batter at the plate then strikes out to end the inning. the run is unearned. if the batter had instead got a base hit, the run would be earned, since the runner would have scored on that play. in most other cases, a run is scored as an earned run. | 5 |

how would i sign a check that i wanted to have deposited in my fathers bank account? you can deposit money/or checks in anyones bank account as long as you have the account number -you dont have access to take any out. - as for a check if its written to cash either of you can sign -if its written to you -only you should sign it - if its written to him only he can sign it - your signature should not be on it- but if it is written to you both then you will need both signatures to deposit it as for cash -well that should be a no-brainer | 6 |
converting reapting decimals to fractions? i would like to know how you turn a reapting decimal to a fraction, for example 0.09 with the 9 with a line over (0.09999999...) also can someone explain how to convert a number with a line over 2 numbers? (0.4545454545454545454545) the answers above are great for cases where the repeating part is right at the beginning as shown in the examples below: 0.22222222... = 2/9 0.54545454... = 54/99 0.298298298... = 298/999 0.142857142857... = 142857/999999 = 1/7 division by 9s causes the repeating pattern. notice how the number of 9s is equal to the length of the repeat. don't forget to reduce the fraction if you can. there are other cases though that you asked about. for example if there are zeroes preceeding the repeating decimal, then you need to convert as follows: 0.022222222... = 2/90 0.099999999... = 9/90 = 1/10 (same as 0.1 by the way) 0.00054545454... = 54/99000 0.00298298298... = 298/99900 note that adding zeroes to the denominator adds an equivalent number of zeroes before the repeating decimal. to convert a decimal that begins with a non-repeating part, such as 0.21456456456456456..., to a fraction, write it as the sum of the non-repeating part and the repeating part. 0.21 + 0.00456456456456456... next, convert each of these decimals to fractions. the first decimal has a divisor of power ten. the second decimal (which repeats) is converted according to the pattern given above. 21/100 + 456/99900 now add these fraction by expressing both with a common divisor 20979/99900 + 456/99900 and add. 21435/99900 finally simplify it to lowest terms 1429/6660 and check on your calculator or with long division. = 0.2145645645... that should cover all the cases you might have. | 1 |

catholics in england? recently read article referring to catholicism in england. i had always been taught there were none since protestant religion had been established, catholicism was outlawed, and henry vii said " off with her head". catholocism was outlawed there for quite some time, but catholics persisted. now, many anglican parishes are joining the catholic church as whole parishes. let's hope and pray that the two can someday be reunited under the leadership of the successor of st. peter. by the way, henry vii remained a catholic all his life -- it was henry viii who broke away from the church -- and it was in the 1600's, not the 1800's. | 0 |
which is better for working out your arms, push ups or a bench press? push-ups and the bench press are designed to work out your chest!!! so, here it is for the chest mussel: what's your goal? build 'mass' or to be 'lean' and have a cut definition??? * mass - bench pressing with extremely heaviy weights. do 3 rep's of 8 at the maximum weight you can press. it's highly recomended to get a spotter to ensure you're not whimping out and that you'll have someone to get the press of you since your goal is to work the mucels to failure. * lean/cut - push-ups. do 5 rep's of 25 push-ups. this also melts away fat from your stomach and love handles since you need to engage your core part of your body during the exercise. my preference for a man is the lean-cut muscle look. i just want to take a sharp object and poke the muscle men to see it they'll pop and deflate quickly (giggle) ... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- arms: which part ... biceps ... triceps ... forearm ??? mass or lean ... hmmm you may want to re-ask your question. | 2 |

laws given to moses? when jesus was executed ,do you believe that his sacrifice did away with the mosaic laws ?? use scripture to answer please jesus came to fulfill the law and prophets. he came to be an acceptable sacrifice. john said "behold the lamb of god, which taketh away the sins of the world." daniel said he "will cause the sacrifices and oblations to cease." there are too many scriptures to show that the law of sacrifice was fulfilled in christ. the moral law of god still stands. there has never been a change in that. the law of sacrifice is what jesus did away with when he willingly went to the cross for the sins of the world. the law of sacrifices began in the garden when god made a covering for the sins of adam and eve, which sacrifice was a shadow or type. to conclude, the law of sacrifice has been fulfilled in christ. the moral law is still applicable. | 0 |
does windex really get rid of zits? i remember seeing the film "my big fat greek wedding," and the character ian said he had a zit that morning and it went away after putting windex on it. i'm not asking for advice on how to get rid of zits; i was just wondering if windex really worked for getting rid of a zit. a small drop of low strength ammonia will reduce swelling. that is where the windex idea came from. if you look at the ingredients on one of this bug bite pain reliever pens, you will see that it is simply ammonia. | 2 |
does it upset you that there are people out there that want to prove that jesus did not walk on water? why is it so hard for some people to believe in miricles? how can people say they believe in god but not believe in miricles? no, there has been an tremendous amount of effort to provide natural explanations to the supernatural events described in the scripture. it doesn't matter how far-fetched the alternate explanations are. as long as they make no mention of the supernatural, they make national news. read the article. here are some choice quotes - "but they say geological core samples suggest that average temperatures were lower in jesus' day, and that at least two protracted cold spells occurred in the region 1,500 to 2,500 years ago." wow! what a revelation! the samples suggest that in a period of one thousand years, the temperatures may have dropped to freezing temps two times! there's more! "in addition to chilly weather, their explanation depends on a rare physical property of the sea of galilee ... it is fed by salty springs along its western shore that produce plumes of dense water, thermally isolating areas that could freeze even if the entire lake did not, they assert." well, in addition to the chilly weather that occurred twice in a thousand years, more conditions apply. if thermal isolation was ocurring, some of the areas could freeze. let's recap. we're scientists and we don't believe the biblical story is true. but, we'll pretend it is and come up with a far-fetched explanation that makes national news and makes the bible's story sound like bunk. so, here's the story: twice in a one-thousand year period, the temperatures may have gotten really cold. we don't know how cold, but we'll assume that the tropical\subtropical climate of the middle east possibly even got down to freezing temps. because we know that there is no way it could get cold enough to freeze a large body of water like the sea of galilee, we'll mention that there is some thermal isolation in the sea. these isolated regions may have got cold enough to freeze completely solid. these regions may even have become solid enough to support the weight of an adult male. what about the other details of the biblical account? why didn't the heavy winds that night help mix the water and dissolve these thermally isolated regions? how did these ice sheets stretch out three and a half miles and provide a perfect walkway right up to the side of a moving boat? what about peter? he walked on the water for a little while, as well. did he just happen to step out onto a floating piece of ice? the solution offered by the researchers, speculative and far-fetched at best, still fails to handle the biblical account accurately. they have taken the parts of the biblical account that were convenient to try to discredit, but ignored the speciic details of the biblical account. for the uninformed reader, especially those who are looking to discredit the bible, this article is music to their ears. | 0 |
do flies throw up every time they land? flies have lapping and sucking type mouth parts. they don't 'throw up' as in the sense humans mean it. and to be precise, they have mosaic vision i.e., they can see multiple images so they see pretty clearly where they are headed. and there feet have taste receptors. so if they land on something which they find 'tasty'... they start lapping wih their tongue to soften the food stuff and then suck the liquid in. its more disgusting than 'throwing up' | 1 |

a guy persued me for years and we finally began dating..i even began falling in love with him..then i found? out that he's still officially married! i've been trying everything i can to escape him-haven't seen him for two months, but he is constantly on my mind. hate that he made me fall for him by falsely leading me on. he keeps leaving messages that he's getting divorced, i obviously don't believe him, it's so cliche. how on earth do i get my head over this guy? [ps was the best sex in the world too. that stopped soon asi found out he was married] talk to his wife. if he is getting divorced he may not be the dream guy you think he is anyway. also i guarentee if you talked to his wife and he knew he would either get teh divorce sooner (freeing him up) or say some really nasty things to you and break your addiction to him. | 8 |
i have a cold whats the best medicine? 1. vitamin c works wonders vitamin c works in the body as a scavenger picking up all sorts of trash — including virus trash. it can shorten the length of a cold from seven days to maybe two or three days. vitamin c may also cut back on coughing, sneezing, and other symptoms. in a study conducted at the university of wisconsin, cold sufferers taking 500 milligrams of vitamin c four times a day suffered only half as many symptoms as those not taking the vitamin. short-term use of such high doses shouldn't cause any side effects. but you should get your doctor's okay before starting any kind of supplement programme. better yet, simply get your additional vitamin c by drinking it —orange, grapefruit, and cranberry juices are rich sources of vitamin c. 2. the power of zinc sucking on zinc lozenges can cut colds short, to an average of four days. zinc can also dramatically reduce symptoms such as a dry irritated throat. it doesn't work for everyone, but when it works, it works. the down side is that zinc has an unpleasant taste. there are, however lozenges on the market that contain honey and/or citrus that are a lot easier to swallow. but do not take more than the amount recommended by your doctor. zinc can be toxic in large doses. 3. bundle up keep bundled up against the cold. this keeps your immune system cosily focused on fighting your cold infection instead of displacing energy to protect you from the cold. 4. walk your cold away mild exercise improves your circulation, helping your immune system circulate infection-fighting antibodies. jump on a gentle rebounder indoors for 15 minutes or take a brisk half-hour walk. but refrain from strenuous exercise, which could wear you out. 5. feed a cold the very fact that you have a cold in the first place may point to your eating "too congesting a diet" that puts a strain on your body's metabolism. counteract it by eating fewer fatty foods, meat and milk products, and more fresh fruit and vegetables. 6. chicken soup for your cold a long-time folk remedy is now a proven fact; a cup of hot chicken soup can help unclog your nasal passages. researchers at mount sinai medical centre in miami beach found that hot chicken soup, either because of its aroma or its taste, "appears to possess an additional substance for increasing the flow of nasal mucus." these secretions-what comes out when you blow your nose or sneeze- serve a first line of defence in removing germs from your system, the researchers say. 7. drown the pests drink six to eight glasses of water, juice, tea, and other mostly clear liquids daily. this will replace important fluids lost during a cold and help flush out impurities that may be preying on your system. 8. kick the butt smoking aggravates a throat that may already feel irritated from a cold. it also interferes with the infection-fighting activity of cilia, the microscopic "fingers" that sweep bacteria out of your lungs and throat. so if you can't kick the habit for good, at least do it while you've got a cold! 9. saline relief relieve an irritated throat by gargling morning, noon, and night-or whenever it hurts most. fill a glass with warm water and mix in 1 teaspoon of salt. take small sips and let it roll around as low in your throat as possible. 10. get yourself in some hot water taking a steamy shower can help clear congestion. or heat a teakettle or pot of water to boiling on your stove, turn off the flame, drape a towel in a tent over your head and the kettle, and inhale the steam until it subsides. this also relieves your cough by moistening your dry throat. 11. grease your way relieve a raw nose by applying a lubricating layer of petroleum jelly around and slightly inside your nostrils with a cotton swab. 12. midnight medicines numerous medications for colds are available without a prescription. some treat specific symptoms. others contain a combination of drugs | 3 |

dear high school teachers! do you write before each lesson its detailed summary or just its plan? what kind of papers do you write before each school lesson? most schools have a template you must follow (especially since no child left behind). at my school, our plans include unit, state core curriculum content standards, materials, methods, assessment, and homework. my first couple years teaching, my plans were pretty lengthy, and i often did not finish them or i had tons of time left over. now, while they still may be more detailed than most, they're much shorter than they used to be because i know what i want/need to do because either i've taught the lesson before or i just have gained the ability to more accurately present, transition, etc without a more detailed script. i also like to be somewhat specific because i provide my students with a syllabus, and i like to keep my website up to date. if you want, check out my website: http://www.mainlandregional.net/tcolombo/index.html. this, obviously, is not the entire plan that i submit to my supervisor, but it is pretty much the "methods" and "homework" sections. | 3 |
why did people not bathe often in medievil times? it was pretty impractical for them to do so. they were without running water, it all had to be collected from the local well, which as often as not, was polluted. many diseases killed millions due to contaminated water. cholera, typhoid etc. the inclement weather added to the discomfort, soap wasn't readily available either. when the weather did turn nice, it was a quick dip in the nearest river, and that was it. many traditions were started during that period. one that continues to this day, although not for the same reasons, is that brides carry flowers. this originally to hide their body odor. usually the first bath of the year, was in may, when following winter, it was beginning to warm up. most marriages occurred in june, and as you can guess, the bride's odor was a bit gamy, shall we say. most couples married in june, to facilitate, the birth of their first born in the following spring.giving their first born a better chance of survival. the weather, didn't help, the children born in winter. due to the cold, and poor heating in their homes, many an infant died. so child mortality, was something they had to consider as well. | 0 |

how to write an apology letter to your neighboors? over the weekend i had my music on pretty loud, really early in the morning. i spoke w/ my landlord today and she just kind of laughed it off, but now i feel super bad about it and i'm freaked that my neighboors absolutly hate me. i don't have the balls to go knocking on 11 peoples doors to apologize face to face. although there is a bulletin board in our building that i would like to post a brief apology note on so everyone in my building can read it. what should i say? or how can i start out, like making it somewhat formal and professional? frankly, you'd be much better off knocking on those 11 doors. it would earn you the respect you desire so badly. a letter is a poor excuse when you live in the same building. but if you insist, i would be very blunt and forward in your letter. something like, "i would like to apologize if i offended anyone by playing loud music the other night. it was totally unacceptable behavior and i will not do so again." anything more is fluff. | 6 |

have you ever seen chriss angel mindfreak, the illusionist, in person? yes. he was in times square, immersed in a tank of water for at least a week. people were allowed to enter the room where he was and view him through the glass tank. we could get close enough to see that he was really in there. i remember seeing his eyes, they looked incredibly alert--which i wouldn't expect after being in conditions like that. he's really amazing (and hot too!) | 7 |

help! how to increase hubbys sex drive????? i have a high sex drive and hubby has a low 1 the only prob is its v. frustrating can i do anything to increase his sex drive??? gee shells, why is it always hubby's fault??? ever think that you ain't sexy in his eyes??? you need to look in the mirror and get sexy for him. then, when you think the timing is right, you need to gently provide some oral stimulation on the right member of his anatomy. don't try to get him interested in making love to you, let him think of it himself. keep up the stimulation night after night. eventually, he will take the initiative and think it's his own libido that's driving the situation. just don't try to pressure him or influence him too soon. it's gotta be his idea. good luck | 8 |

why do the conteder rankings vary so much among the different boxing associations? it doesn't seem like there is any uniformity at all between the ibf, wba, wbo, etc. sometimes some ranked contenders aren't even listed under different organizations? they all want to stick out from the crowd! with an unquestionable champion there is no need for their services. so with a variety in the ranking they can always question the champions choice of opponent! | 5 |

what is an epic? let's first look at the definition of epic . the word is derived from the latin "epicus", and from the greek "epikos" as a noun 1.an extended narrative poem in elevated or dignified language, celebrating the feats of a legendary or traditional hero. 2. a literary or dramatic composition that resembles an extended narrative poem celebrating heroic feats. as an adjective 1 of, constituting, having to do with, or suggestive of a literary epic: an epic poem. 2. surpassing the usual or ordinary, particularly in scope or size: a vast landscape. 3. heroic and impressive in quality so "epic has two components. heroic and vast. in an epic there is a hero or heroic feats and the setting is vast in scope -often a complete world. now let's look at the definition of fantasy. 1. the creative imagination; unrestrained fancy. see synonyms at imagination. 2. something, such as an invention, that is a creation of the fancy. 3. a capricious or fantastic idea; a conceit. 4 a.fiction characterized by highly fanciful or supernatural elements. b. an example of such fiction. so fantasy is defined as creative imagination and characterized by highly fanciful or supermatural events. so epic + fantasy = so we put the two together and we get a story of creative imagination that has a hero and or heroic feats and that takes place on an epic scale. refinement epic fantasy is generally accepted today to be a sub-genre of fantasy. the plot line usually centers on one person that develops through hardship and quest from a seemingly average person into a hero that performs heroic feats of might or magic -overcoming challenges that are epic in scope. usually the whole world laid out in the piece is at stake. although often times in the work of epic fantasy it is discovered that the "average person" is actually of noble blood line or in possession of previously unknown special skills -typically magical in nature. the setting for the piece is often one that has a middle ages flavor complete with swords, castles, and a magical scheme. although many successful epic fantasy works have used other settings such as the conan series development of the character one of the most important aspects of epic fantasy is the development of the main character through the story. and this often follows a tried and true formula of classic steps that a hero must undertake. this series of steps has been laid out by joseph campbell in his work the hero's journey and they include steps like the call to adventure - where our average person is called to undertake a journey supernatural aid - where a mentor or guide is found (usually a wizard) the road of trials - a series of tasks and ordeals that our hero to be has to undergo on the road to his or her transformation. so let's put it all together! epic fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy and very similar to high-fantasy where a seemingly average person undergoes many trials and ordeals which develop him or her into a hero capable of heroic feats needed to thwart challenges of an epic scale. the work takes place in an imaginitive world and often the setting is medieval in nature, complete with swords, castles, strange creatures and a magical system. | 0 |

what is the default position of a contractive employment when the employer hasent got a contract? depends where you are in the world. in the uk employees have very little rights before two years employment. minimum pay, health and safety, minimum vacation. they can be sacked pretty much at will. after two years employment (full or part time) the worker has the full rights of uk law (including mandatory vacation, sick pay, pension rights, entitlement to unfair dismissal appeals etc.) this is all without a paper contract. in giving you employment, a court would deem that a contract had been entered into, even if nothing was signed. | 6 |

help please!! which state is the best to study business? hi i'm 18yrs old and from s.korea. i graduated hs here and i want to go to college in the u.s. my family is not so wealthy, so i'm planning on going to a community college and then maybe transfer to 4yr university. and i was wondering..which state is the cheapest to live in? and if you have some informations about school..you're welcome to share them. i hope you understand that my english is not good. please help me!! (i want to major in business/management) to get your education inexpensively you have to consider both the cost of the school and the cost of the education. you have an excellent plan in going to a community college and then transferring to a four year college. in the usa the first two years of college are simply general education. in the third year you start to study in the field you have an interest in. please bear in mind that when you go to a community college you need to be sure that the credits earned will be transferable. i recommend that you look at the new york state university system. they will allow you to transfer most if not all of your credits from the nys community college system to a new york state university (of which there are many) as for cost of living - avoid the big cities in ny. they are very expensive. however the cost of living in the upstate area is much more reasonable. look at schools in and around syracuse, rochester, or buffalo. i think that california has a similar system. | 3 |
