It’s Christmas once again. But this year, Dumpster Dog and Flat Cat have decided they’re going to celebrate in a house instead of their trash can! But can they find a home for Christmas?

Speeding across the California landscape, Chase pauses frequently to see what’s really there: not just what the movies have taught us to expect, but the range and variation of the built environment that occupies what he calls ‘everyday space’. A practising architect and urban planner, as well as an important architectural critic, Chase explores a myriad of locales and examines their architectural features—from the gay community space of West Hollywood, to the stucco box apartment complexes of the 1950s, to the truly weird mix of domestic arrangements in Venice Beach, to gated communities, to some of the historic houses of Hollywood and Beverly Hills and to the most recent transformations of the casino architecture in Las Vegas. At once learned, witty and ironic, Chase makes the mundane world of Southern California vistas come alive on the page.

Whether you run a worldwide company with offices on every continent, or a department or small business with less than ten employees, the process explained in this book will enable you to put yourself in full control. There can be no doubt about it, leaders of businesses and organizations today are expected to do more with less with the result that whole layers of management have been eliminated. Those who remain have no choice but to take up the slack, and many feel "buried alive." This book can change that. It explains a process any manager can put in place to spread out the workload and bring about a new sense of focus, urgency and accountability among the staff. It's a process that's already in place and working like clockwork in a number of Fortune 500 companies as well as the Department of Defense, several big city governments, and some of the largest airports in the world. What this book provides is a system comprised of a few simple rules involving scorecards, action registers, and interlocking teams that will get a business moving forward at light speed. A primary reason is that everyone quickly knows what he or she must do to succeed personally, as well as what needs to be done for the organization to reach its goals and succeed.

In December of 2001 Jeff Ferrell quit his job as tenured professor, moved back to his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, and, with a place to live but no real income, began an eight-month odyssey of essentially living off of the street. Empire of Scrounge tells the story of this unusual journey into the often illicit worlds of scrounging, recycling, and second-hand living. Existing as a dumpster diver and trash picker, Ferrell adopted a way of life that was both field research and free-form survival. Riding around on his scrounged BMX bicycle, Ferrell investigated the million-dollar mansions, working-class neighborhoods, middle class suburbs, industrial and commercial strips, and the large downtown area, where he found countless discarded treasures, from unopened presents and new clothes to scrap metal and even food.Richly illustrated throughout, Empire of Scrounge is both a personal journey and a larger tale about the changing values of American society. Perhaps nowhere else do the fault lines of inequality get reflected so clearly than at the curbside trash can, where one person's garbage often becomes another's bounty. Throughout this engaging narrative, full of a colorful cast of characters, from the mansion living suburbanites to the junk haulers themselves, Ferrell makes a persuasive argument about the dangers of over-consumption. With landfills overflowing, today’s highly disposable culture produces more trash than ever before—and yet the urge to consume seems limitless.In the end, while picking through the city's trash was often dirty and unpleasant work, unearthing other people's discards proved to be unquestionably illuminating. After all, what we throw away says more about us than what we keep.

Barnaby never fit in with the other cubs. They were terrified by his wicked attitude and glowing eyes that looked like fresh blood. His mother decided her cubs would be safer without him, so she banished him from the den. Barnaby found a more suitable shelter behind a campground dumpster.

He taught Barnaby all sorts of death-defying stunts to captivate a crowd. Unfortunately, after the curtain closes, Barnaby performs his favorite trick of rolling his ball over unsuspecting stragglers to hear them scream! Your guests will be shocked and amazed as they watch Barnaby perform his next act! Watch in awe as his 6-foot-tall frame gracefully balances on top of his ball with precise side-to-side movements.
