Why hasn't the media reported that after Katrina when our own government hadn't done anything, people in New Orleans who still had working cell phones started calling the French consulates when things got really desperate??? Apparently a lot of people were calling and eventually, some very old woman who spoke French got through to the main embassy in Washington, DC. The people working there, like all of us, had been watching everything on CNN for days and when they realized she spoke French, they put her on speaker phone - some of the embassy people listening got very upset after this and a high official called the French president in the middle of the night and got him out of bed. Then he called President Bush, who was still at his ranch in Texas, and said if Bush didn't do something soon he was going to humiliate Pres Bush by calling a press conference offering to send in the French military on a humanitarian aid mission. Only then did our own president fly back to Washington!!!

ON HIS OWN IDENTITY Jesus' statements throughout the Bible suggest that any idea of exalting him to divinity was unthinkable.

In Matthew's gospel, Jesus denounces in the strongest terms those who exalt him by calling him `Lord': "None of those who cry out, `Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of God but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. When the day comes, many will plead with me, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? Have we not exorcised demons by its power? Did we not do many miracles in your name as well?' Then I will declare to them solemnly, `I never knew you. Out of my sight, you evil doers!' " [Matthew 7:21-23] .

I lost my job, I am behind on my rent, and my credit is extremely bad due to a divorce. I am trying to find a way to get a lien on my car, which I have clear title to, for one third it’s value. I know there are auto title loan companies that do this, however I’ve researched and found out they are extremely high interest rates (300%apr on average), they don't offer enough to get me out of debt, and they usually end in repossession of the vehicle. How can I get a secured loan from a reputable bank using my car as collateral?

I know it's not an eact answer, but I'm wondering what the average is so that I know what to expect. I always thought that it would release in the US first but I guess I was wrong. It's a fujifilm camera by the way (the z100).

who isnt late at some point and time. Next year is my last year paying on my Car and for the 2nd time in 3 years I am late on my payment. the last time I was late was 2005 and it was 30 days and this time Im late under 30 days.. im telling the people I will pay them this friday and there telling me that is not good enough and to give them a post dated check. Im like hell no you can wait till this friday I have told them every day this week. So I finally hung up in there face and Im like What ever if they cant wait till Friday That doesnt make no sense to me. So can they repo my car if im not 30 days late? and is that normal to repo if your late less than 30 days? aside from that I feel like if they are going to do that why charge late fees.. what the heck!! Who knows the rutine on Car Loans that are 30 days or less late.. ?

Remember this is my 2nd time being late in 3 years

I see religious people who have no understanding of science, whereas, atheists who haven't even read the bible.
