Closing the Curtain on Baby Mama Drama by Eric L. Legette Pdf

Closing the Curtain on Baby Mama Drama is more than just a catchy phrase that often draws laughter. It is a mindset and philosophy a father involved in visitation, custody and child support cases has to internalize if he is to avoid the many pitfalls the drama presents. The most pressing needs for fathers are information and support. The lack of information pertaining to the family court system places men in vulnerable positions. False allegations of abuse, interfering family members from the maternal side, and much more are all obstacles men must overcome. The drama has the potential to immobilize a father while in the process leading him down a road to possibly abuse drugs/alcohol, failure to achieve goals/dreams, experience depression and finally suicide. The book also offers helpful suggestions for women to support male family members or significant others. Closing the Curtain on Baby Mama Drama will inform, educate, empower, motivate and enlighten.Chapters include: -How to educate yourself in Family Law -Courtroom Behavior/Dress -What to request in visitation cases -Interfering secondary family members -Why you should fight for your child? -How to defeat baby mama drama -Coping Mechanisms

Just Short of Crazy by Nina Foxx Pdf

When smart, successful, levelheaded lawyer Alexis Pearson gets blindsided by her faithless fiancé, who disses and dumps her, she decides to change everything. Gone are the trendy dreads in favor of her own soft and natural tresses. She's going to get her body, mind, and spirit in shape with tae kwan do classes -- and maybe kick some butt in the process to work out the aggression brought on by the abandonment . . . and her boss's unsubtle offers to help mend her busted heart. Of course, she never intended for it all to get out of hand -- and she certainly didn't mean to break the elbow of her first-time sparring partner, Remedy Brown. At least she got the attention of this tall, dark, and very handsome nightclub owner with the unfortunate name. And though Alexis is wary about diving recklessly too soon into the relationship fire again, she can't help wondering if sexy, warm-hearted Remedy might be a remedy for what's ailing her. But the man comes with some crazy baggage -- namely Ayzah, his estranged and deranged ex-wife, who's pure, unadulterated 'hood. And suddenly both the personal and professional lives of the "new" Alexis Pearson are about to get a lot wilder . . . and riskier.

Prologues, Epilogues, Curtain-raisers, and Afterpieces by Daniel James Ennis,Judith Bailey Slagle Pdf

Prologues, Epilogues, Curtain-Raisers, and Afterpieces: The Rest of the Eighteenth-Century London Stage presents a fresh analysis of the complete theater evening that was available to playhouse audiences from the Restoration to the early nineteenth century. The contributing scholars focus not on the mainpiece, the advertised play itself, but on what surrounded the mainpiece for the total theater experience of the day. Various critical essays address artistic disciplines such as dance and theatrical portraits, while others concentrate on peripheral performance texts, including prologues, epilogues, pantomimes, and afterpieces, that merged to define the overall theatrical event.

Something Sensational by William Guy Pdf

This is a book of travel essays, but it is not about what is commonly meant today by travel, e.g. package tours for middle-aged, middle-class tourists who pile in and out of airconditioned buses around the world for their hour at the obligatory sights-- passive entertainment. These essays are about travel, warts and all, the agony and the ecstasy of a do-it-yourself process: from traffic jams in southern Italy to swiftly gliding dream trains in northern Germany and quite a bit in between. They depict a passionate quest for art, music, beauty; journeys to that realm of supreme aesthetic experience which is to be found in front of paintings by the masters and at great performances of operas in Tyrolian villages; epiphanies in dusty Italian squares or in Imperial palaces. They describe an immersion in the history, the landscape and the daily life of other countries. They also describe the complex fate of being an American in strange lands. They sometimes toy with the Jamesian question: where can Americans possibly, truly belong?
