Echo Malibu helps troubled adolescents

by

Is it just me or are there more youths out there with drug, alcohol and behavioral problems than there was in the past? Perhaps we are just hearing about it more these days because troubled parents are more open about problems going on in their home, and the affected adolescents don’t always hide their drug and alcohol use.

If you are the parent of a child with drug, alcohol or behavioral problems and you’d like to try to help your child you might be interested in visiting the Echo Malibu website. They have an adolescent treatment program, and they’ve helped many youths with their unique and positive approach.

After reading through the website it sounds as if they not only treat the affected youth but also keep in mind that the whole family is involved with the adolescents treatment and that the family has also been affected by what’s happened in the past and by their decision to seek the help of the Echo Malibu treatment center.

The clinic staff is well educated and as they work with the adolescents in their care they listen to them and attempt to work with them so that they can enjoy life again without drugs or alcohol. It can be done. If your child is in trouble please look at the Echo Malibu site and see what they have to offer.





James Brown’s 5 year old son left out of will

by

It’s not good news for James Brown’s 5 year old son with partner Tomi Rae Hynie. The child wasn’t included in the will read on Thursday to six of the musicians other children.

When Brown died on Christmas morning at the age of 73 the gates of his home were locked. This was done because the house is owned by the trust and “has been that way since August of 2000” says Buddy Dallas, an attorney for James Brown. “Technically, the trustees own it for the benefit of the trust. It was not in teh name of James Brown and hasn’t been that way for years.”

The will provides for Browns first six children, however Hynie’s son, James Jr. is not listed in the document. The will has not yet been filed in probate court.

Hynie’s lawyer, Thornton Morris, said he doesn’t know anything about the will.

“She was locked out of the house so she doesn’t know where the will that’s being probated was found,” Morris said of his client. “She has no knowledge to when this particular will was executed.”

I suppose it’s possible that Brown had written a new will, but that is not the one that’s being read. If he didn’t write a new will to include his youngest son I would imagine that his estate will end up being tied up in court if Hynie decides to protest the will.

Generous Britney

by

Britney Spears was in a charitable mood the other day. She’d just withdrawn a large amount of cash from an ATM this past Wednesday when she was stopped at a busy L.A. intersection. A homeless man approached her vehicle:

“Britney rolled down the window and handed the guy $300,” says the source. “She said, ‘Good luck and happy new year!’ The guy almost had a heart attack.”

Adds the source, “Britney wants to do good — for herself and the world. That’s what she’s all about.”

Is Britney redeeming herself?

It’s certainly nice to see her be so nice to this needy man. That act of generosity probably made his year!

Puppy Love

by

Everyone loves puppies don’t they? I know that I do! Well I just came across a company called Europuppy that’s located in Budapest, Hungary. They provide people around the world and Central Europe with purebred puppies.

Another interesting piece of news about this company is that Europuppy has been serving the US Military since 2003, sponsoring the Stars and Stripes Newspapers pet directory. Many US service men and woman stationed overseas in Europe have used Europuppy’s services to purchase a new puppy for their home.

Europuppy has dog breeds from the tops European lines, and they are proud of their reputation of providing healthy high quality puppies to homes and businesses around the world. The company works with a select group of breeders from across Europe, and visit the breeders personally to ensure that the puppy breeders are raising the dogs in healthy conditions.

When I looked through the Europuppy.com Dogs for Sale section I discovered that they have just about every single breed that I could think of. They even have Rhodesian Ridgeback’s, a breed that I just love! Not only that, but when you go through their directory of dogs for sale, finding a breed that you prefer, and one that actually does have some puppies for sale you’ll see that they also provide breed information- discussing things like size, activity levels, and temperament so that you can select a breed of dog that suits your life style.

For example, some dogs just do not go well with children because of their size and or temperament. Wouldn’t it be better for both you, your family, and the dog if you knew that in advance?

I really like that the site has so much information, and such a variety of dog breeds for sale. Check it out if you are a dog lover looking for a particular breed.

I don’t think I’ve told my readers here that I write several blogs. One of the blogs that I write is called “Watching House” and it’s on the 451press.com network of blogs.

I just found out that they are having a comment contest. I believe it started on January 8th and runs through to the end of the month. You could win $500 just for leaving a comment on any of the 451press blogs – with the exception of the main 451press.com blog itself.

You see, 451press is a new network of blogs. I believe the network began in October with a call for writers for various blog topics. I answered a call for new bloggers in late November and I was signed on to write my Watching House blog that discusses the TV show House M.D..

I do write ups of House, show recaps, discuss various aspects of the show and the stars that play each character. I also spend a lot of time writing about the gorgeous Hugh Laurie and his life outside of the show.

I’m not quite sure just how many blogs are in our network now but I believe it’s well over 100 blogs. I’m sure that if you come to visit you’ll find several blogs on topics from your favorite TV shows, Favorite Celebrities, Home and Garden, Books, Sports and leisure and many other categories that you’d be pleased to read and leave a comment on for your chance to win $500.
