Book excerpt: Every cat that comes through the doors of Ohio Alleycat Resource and Spay/Neuter Clinic (OAR) has a story. So do the people who trap, rescue, manage colonies, foster, and adopt them. Sharing these stories has long been a dream of OAR volunteers and staff, as we've witnessed the organization grow into an incredible life-saving resource for cats in the tri-state area and beyond. In Hairballs & Heroes, you'll read touching, humorous, and heartbreaking stories of cats with a connection to OAR, submitted and/or written by our adopters, volunteers, rescuers, and others who have been touched by these special felines. There's the tiny orange kitten who helped her adopters heal from tremendous loss; the disfigured stray that taught his foster lessons about living life to the fullest; the new volunteer who discovered the joy of fostering; and the couple who found their own happy ending through a shared love for helping community cats. Lovingly compiled by a team of OAR volunteers, dubbed The Cat Chroniclers, we hope you'll join us in celebrating the cats of OAR and the people who care about them!

Download or read book Orbiting the Giant Hairball written by Gordon MacKenzie and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 1998-04-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creativity is crucial to business success. But too often, even the most innovative organization quickly becomes a "giant hairball"--a tangled, impenetrable mass of rules, traditions, and systems, all based on what worked in the past--that exercises an inexorable pull into mediocrity. Gordon McKenzie worked at Hallmark Cards for thirty years, many of which he spent inspiring his colleagues to slip the bonds of Corporate Normalcy and rise to orbit--to a mode of dreaming, daring and doing above and beyond the rubber-stamp confines of the administrative mind-set. In his deeply funny book, exuberantly illustrated in full color, he shares the story of his own professional evolution, together with lessons on awakening and fostering creative genius. Originally self-published and already a business "cult classic", this personally empowering and entertaining look at the intersection between human creativity and the bottom line is now widely available to bookstores. It will be a must-read for any manager looking for new ways to invigorate employees, and any professional who wants to achieve his or her best, most self-expressive, most creative and fulfilling work.

The culprit, a native spore, carried on every wind to every corner of the globe. Blending Earth and Jørn DNA saved their crops and livestock, but for humans there was no cure. Instead they took to the skies, turning their colony ships into floating cities that hovered out of the spore’s reach. Today. Hero Regan is a freak; she hears voices, the kind only she can hear.

Book excerpt: Rebecca will have to take a page from her own book to keep the dashing Rafe Danvers from spoiling her success. But how does one play hard-to-get with a man one cannot resist? Rebecca Tate never intended to cause a revolution with her notoriously popular Miss Darby novels, merely to earn enough to support herself and her ailing uncle. But now it seems every eligible debutante in London is emulating her spunky heroine and refusing to marry...ever! Still, Rebecca's enjoying her newfound success as Miss Darby's anonymous creator, and she's not about to let anyone interfere—not even the rakishly appealing Raphael Danvers. Having survived the perils of war and espionage, Rafe is less than thrilled by a disgruntled society matron's wish that he unmask the unknown author and halt the scandalous scribblings. The assignment becomes more attractive, however, when the trail leads to the enticing Miss Tate. Suddenly the dashing adventurer can't get enough of the charming troublemaker—and her resorting to some rather Darbyesque trickery to distract him serves only to intensify his desire. But will a rogue's determined pursuit result in a happy romantic ending . . . or lead them both into a dangerous intrigue?
