A good friend of mine called earlier to tell me he is stranded in Texas. He went to Texas for work with a temporary agency which was initially going to take care of his room and board. He has during his time there had hours worked withhold from him and been left with paychecks for $0 and most recently the company lost it's contract meaning no labor for anyone. They subsequently kicked all the employees out of the hotels and now my poor friend is stranded with no money to get home. I don't have have it to loan or else I would so I am wondering if anyone has ever been in this situation or knows of something to tell him to help. He has to leave the hotel here soon and I don't know what to do.

ACWORTH, Ga. (Nov. 19) - Three boys ages 8 and 9 were being held Monday in a detention center on charges of kidnapping and raping an 11-year-old girl in the woods near a suburban apartment complex, officials said.

The alleged attack happened Thursday and the girl's mother reported it to authorities Sunday, Acworth police Capt. Wayne Dennard said.

"The juvenile victim stated that an 8-year-old boy and two 9-year-old boys that she had been playing with earlier pulled her into a wooded area, where one of the boys raped her," Dennard said.

The three boys were charged with rape, kidnapping, false imprisonment and sexual assault, Dennard told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Their names were being withheld because of their age.

Prosecutors have not decided whether to try the suspects as adults.

"That decision hasn't been made," said Kathy Watkins, a spokeswoman for the Cobb County District Attorney's office. She had no further comment.

Calls to the Acworth Police Department were not returned Monday morning.

Acworth is 30 miles northwest of Atlanta in the city's fast-growing outer suburbs.

His surname will be Watson.

My aunt (F) is getting married and has asked myself and another aunt (M) to perform a duet at her wedding. Aunt M and I are having a hard time coming up with a list of both secular and nonsecular songs for Aunt F to choose from.

If it helps the wedding is going to be held in a church.

Also when you reply please post song and artist(s) name so I can look them up later.

Yes I realize I could have googled it but you all are so smart I just know you'll come up with some great songs.

Thanks :)~

Over the last 23 years I have found myself being constantly told that I talk like a white person or am perceived to want to be white. I am just curious as to how it is that white people speak that is so different from black people. Essentially if we are American shouldn't we all speak English with one accent or another depending on what region one is from.
