British poet Lord Byron once noted, “Letter writing is the only device for combining solitude with good company.” How true is this observation! Alone at the desk, with a gentle fire kindling at the hearth, words pour out in flowery flourishes as if one’s very soul is speaking with a dear friend so far away

By Steve Hodges, M.D. I’ve known for years that enemas resolve pee accidents far better than any other treatment, whether it’s Miralax, bladder-relaxing medication, or peeing on a schedule. This isn’t something parents like to hear — understandably. Who wants to place a tube up a child’s bottom? Physicians, on the whole, also are unreceptive to enemas, considering them “too aggressive.” Nonetheless, it’s true: Enemas work better. A lot better. And now I can point to research that proves it. The

Following a disastrous encounter with a noble, Myne finally resolves to say goodbye to her family and friends in the lower city, changing her name to “Rozemyne” and beginning her new life as the adopted daughter of Ehrenfest’s archduke. However, her days as an archnoble in noble society are brutal, as she is put through rigorous etiquette and magic training on top of her duties as High Bishop and forewoman. It all proves too much for a weak little seven-year-old girl... Or it would have, had the High Priest not offered her the keys to the temple’s book room as a reward. If she could get her hands on those, she’d be able to read all sorts of precious books! Her name may have changed, but Rozemyne’s passion for books remains the same as she charges into a whole new world! The detailed setting expands as the printing industry grows in size.

On July 13th, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Nashville-based singer-songwriter EverSōl! Fresh off the release of her new single, “Madness,” we got a chance to ask her about her influences, the background of the project, and her desire to be a “light in the darkness” for her fans. Throughout the change and the turmoil of the past few years, her resolve in this aim hasn’t faltered, and we are very excited to see where she goes next!

Image It's not too early to start thinking, is it? Because I totally failed last year, and I don't want that to happen again. 2011 marked 10 years since the last time I actually sat down in a studio and recorded some music that was just my own. So in December last year I resolved to make another record. I had no desire to come up with anything earth-shattering or ambitious- I've long since passed the days of wanting my Mum to see me on Top Of The Pops (and I'm fairly sure she has long given up hope). I just wanted to sit down again and make something I was happy with. A whole, finished, musicky Thing. And then, just 20 hours into 2011, I got engaged. The first half of the year vanished in a puff of smoke - wedding planning took over my brain and any other spare minutes were spent studying for my Pilates qualification and working a tedious, stressful day job. Suddenly we were back from honeymoon, and it was the end of September, the Christmas decorations were going up in the shops, and I hadn't written a note. Is this what happens when you get older? All those childish dreams seem to get pushed aside by the practicalities of real life, which is lovely and grown-up and everything, but, you know.... It's a shame. There's not as much time for sparkle or rock n roll as there used to be. Maybe I just want the moon on a stick. Anyway. Actually making a record involves finding somewhere to record and someone patient enough to help me do it. It means painfully building the calluses back up on my fingers, working out where I can hide myself away in a house full of people and cats who like to earwig in and pounce on uncut guitar strings. It involves setting myself up for not being very good at something I used to be OK at. Them's a lot of obstacles right there. Maybe I set my sights too high last year. But I still want to do it.

Meghan Howland creates moody paintings with loose brush strokes, examining brooding youths through a hazy lens. Her disillusioned characters appear delicate yet unaware of their own beauty. Their faces are often obscured or their eyes are closed, as if they are avoiding a painful confrontation. The result is an emotionally poignant body of work that allows the viewer to fill in the blanks. Take a look at some of Meghan Howland's works after the jump.

In his international bestseller A Beautiful Child, award winning investigative journalist Matt Birkbeck told the heartbreaking story of a brilliant and beautiful young woman known as Sharon Marshall. Caught in the murderous web of the monster she called her father, Sharon wasn't her real name. But her horrifying story captured the hearts of readers everywhere and lead to a ten-year search to resolve two great mysteries - what was her true identity, and what became of her young son Michael, who was kidnapped from his first grade classroom and never seen again. The worldwide interest in Sharon's story prompted the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to open a new case file enlisting the FBI - and with A Beautiful Child as a roadmap, two FBI agents set their sights on death row interviews with Sharon's tormentor to learn the shocking truth. Equal parts memoir and narrative journalism, Finding Sharon picks up where A Beautiful Child left off and brings to a close one of the greatest mysteries in the annals of law enforcement - and a miraculous ending that will leave you in tears. Reviews "Finding Sharon is a thrilling detective story with a heart of love. Matt Birkbeck shows himself again to be a wonderful storyteller and a most determined investigator as he unravels the final chapter of the tragic and mysterious journey of a gifted young woman."
