A roadside museum with a link to the supernatural. A washed up pitching phenom remaking his life as a minor league mascot. An elderly magician concealing a devastating secret. A grown-up high school bully obsessed with her former classmate's glass eye. In Museum of the Americas, Gary Lee Miller presents a remarkable collection of stories that push the boundaries between the real and the fantastic, the universe that is seen and the one that is invisible. There are no easy answers here, no moralistic judgments, just people struggling against stacked odds to bring redemption to their lives.

A rodeo cowboy turns up dead at the San Antonio rodeo clutching an empty snuff can inscribed with Nick Fischer's name and a pocket full of painkillers.

Die Fotografin Lee Miller hat im März 1945 Köln fotografiert. Lee Millers Bilder vermitteln so unmittelbare Eindrücke, als würde man jetzt, hier und heute dabei sein. Sie spiegeln Gesichter wider in Momenten, die für diese Menschen einen Wendepunkt in ihrem Leben darstellen. Sie sind erschütternd, traurig, freudig, lebensbejahend, verzweifelt oder trotz einer extrem schwierigen Zeit optimistisch. Egal ob Lee Miller in diesem Weltereignis der Fotografie Menschen fotografiert hat, die gerade aus dem Klingelpütz kommen oder in die Agnes-Kirche gehen. Die meisten dieser Fotografien von Köln sind bislang unveröffentlicht. Die Fotokuratorin Dr. Kerstin Stremmel hat diesen Bestand aus dem Lee-Miller-Archiv in Chiddingly (GB, East Sussex) untersucht: etwa 80 Motive, die das Kölner Stadtgebiet unmittelbar nach der Befreiung durch US-amerikanische Truppen dokumentieren - vom zerstörten Dom über viele einzelne Straßenzüge bis zu befreiten Zwangsarbeitern eben aus dem Klingelpütz.

In 1967, Iowa farmhouse owner Edward Briney, was concerned about the recent burglaries in his rural community. He boarded up his house, placed no trespassing signs around the property's perimeter, and rigged a 20-gauge shotgun to go off at the knees of any unwanted intruder opening a closed interior bedroom door.A month later, the farmhouse was broken into by Marvin Katko, who was shot in his legs. Katko, the burglar, sued Briney and won the case for his injuries and was awarded the entire Briney farm. The case was appealed all the way to the Iowa Supreme Court, where the decision was affirmed.Did good prevail over bad? Was this the correct decision?Tyler Short is unhappy with the pay and prospects of his current career. He is afraid of taking on new risks, yet considers a new opportunity to making a living, one that his father has moral issues with.Tyler is referred to 92-year-old Thornton Howard III, considered a trusted community member, man of great wisdom, and professional ethicist.Rather than simply telling Tyler, 'yes it is, or not it isn't ethical', Thornton uses a method of telling stories of others, also confronted with ethical dilemmas, and allows Tyler to make the decision on his own.The stories in this book are snapshots of fictional people making choices-some justified, some evil, and some where the actor, just doesn't know. Can we be good people that have done bad things? Can bad people do good things? Our challenge is to distinguish good from bad in a life of gray.

For centuries the Christian church has overlooked irrefutable proof of the Trinity as found in the Old Testament. Sadly mostly due to weak translations of Genesis 18, and skewed interpretations from theologians. Also, Lot has been falsely accused of being a compromising backslider. Read this book to see the truth in Genesis 18 & 19.

"En 1944 et 1945, Lee Miller a bravé tous les dangers pour participer à la libération de l'Europe. Née dans l'Etat de New York en 1907, Lee Miller fut un mannequin célébré par les plus grands photographes. Protégée de Man Ray, elle fut fut un personnage important dans les milieux surréalistes et l'amie de plusieurs grands artistes. Alors qu'elle résidait aux côtés de Roland Penrose en Angleterre lorsque la guerre éclata, elle s'engagea dans l'armée américaine afin de saisir l'expérience extraordinaire qui régnait sur le front. En tenue kaki, proche des soldats de tous rangs, équipée de sa machine à écrire et de son appareil photo, elle participa à toutes les campagnes de libération en France et en Allemagne. Les reportages qu'elle composa à cette époque pour le célèbre magazine Vogue mêlent à la fois urgence et rigueur dans l'observation, implication et distance, tout en conservant un ton d'indépendance qui lui est propre. La présente édition est complétée de photos prises par Lee Miller elle-même durant les opérations. Autant dire qu'il s'agit du témoignage exceptionnel d'une femme en prise avec l'Histoire : le siège de Saint-Malo, la campagne d'Alsace, la découverte d'un camp comme Dachau, la chute de Berchtesgaden. Si le tableau est noir, il y a cependant quelques signes d'espoir comme cette allégresse de la Libération et la joie de retrouver des amis : Colette, Picasso, Cocteau, Eluard ou Aragon. Ce livre étonnant de récits écrits à chaud et de photos historiques rend hommage à l'immense artiste du XXe siècle que fut Lee Miller".

Stuck in sleepy New Smyrna Beach one last summer, Raine socks away her camp pay checks, worries about her druggy brother, and ignores trouble: Cal Koomer. She's a plane ticket away from teaching orphans in Africa, and not even Cal's surfer six-pack and the chinks she spies in his rebel armor will derail her. The artist in Cal begs to paint Raine's ivory skin, high cheek bones, and internal sparklers behind her eyes, but falling for her would caterwaul him into his parents' life. No thanks. The girl was self-righteous waiting to happen. Mom served sanctimony like vegetables, three servings a day, and he had a gut full. Rec Director Drew taunts her with "Rainey" and calls her an enabler. He is so infernally there like a horsefly -- till he buzzes back to his ex. Raine's brother tweaks. Her dream of Africa dies small deaths. Will she figure out what to fight for and what to free before it's too late? For anyone who's ever wrestled with her dreams.
