Do you ever wake up & think' there must be something more!?
You wake up every morning and go through the motions, checking items off your to-do list throughout the day. You succeed, you accomplish – heck, you have a great life! But something is missing. There is something lacking. And no amount of money, relationships, vacations or promotions seems to fill the void you feel inside. The things you are trying just aren't working. You feel it just beneath the surface, you're just not sure how to access it.
Or maybe you don't even feel that void, and that's the problem in itself.
You're numb. You aren't feeling much of anything. Your accomplishments, your successes – they may bring you momentary joy but then you're numb again.
You wonder, "Am I depressed?", and then immediately feel guilty for being unhappy when you have so much. But you can't ignore the awareness that you aren't fully living. You aren't experiencing life in the way you thought you would.
You're disconnected, you're lost. And it's time to wake up.
It's time to wake up and remember who you are, what you want, and what's possible. To take your life to the next level and remember that you have an infinite resource within you that contains all of the answers you seek, all of the clarity you crave. This resource, this deep sense of connection, is available to you at all times.
It's time to allow yourself to feel peace, happiness, and freedom in your life. To live each day with a sense of purpose. To be connected to those around you, to create meaningful relationships, to be available for love.
Let's now shake you awake, and come back to the remembrance that life is supposed to be filled with ease, flow and joy. Life is supposed to be a BLAST.
Are you ready to wake up and live it?
Meet Virginia
Virginia Bunting is a Certified Holistic Life Coach and Reiki Master Practitioner who, over the past fifteen years, has served as a doula, childbirth educator, lactation educator, certified infant massage instructor and children's meditation facilitator.
As a Certified Holistic Life Coach, Virginia now uses her skillset to create a safe environment for her clients to wake up and change their lives. She is a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader and Kundalini Yoga teacher, and is humbled to share these transformative technologies with others.
Virginia uses a warm and intuitive approach and has a gift of making her clients feel safe, calm and empowered. Her practices and principles are accessible, simple and life-changing for all those who experience her work.
So those are some of my credentials, but now let's get personal.
Who am I without my titles?
First off, I am a Sassy Southern belle!
I'm a single mama, which has been both the hardest and most rewarding thing I've ever done. Family dance parties with my 3 young daughters happen on the regular (nothing gets toys picked up like playing a little Michael Jackson!) and daily afternoon tea parties with my girls are custom, our favorite way to reconnect.
I've been learning to fall in love with life and with myself, figuring out how to ride the ups and downs with grace and ease. And I believe that the same is possible for you, right now. You are perfect, and the answers you seek are already inside of you, just under the surface.
It is my passion, purpose and honor to help you remember them.
So the first thing you need to know is that I'm not your typical coach (did I mention, Sassy Southern Belle?!)
My experiences from over a decade of working as a birth coach, birthing 3 daughters in 4 years, mothering them, going through a divorce and meanwhile learning to love myself and my life through painful and challenging transitions provides a well of knowledge that I tap into when working with my clients. Finally landing in a place where I am grounded, happy and thriving regardless of what is going on externally has been my journey, and that is what I am always working towards with my Clients as well.
My approach is a balance of open-hearted communication and tough love.
My sessions might include my asking you a lot of important questions, challenging you to look within at the patterns and habits you are ready to change, guiding you through a meditation or visualization, breath work and laughter therapy, celebrating your successes with you and supporting you in setting goals and creating an action plan to implement them in your life.
With that being said…
- Have you ever thought there must be more to life than this?
- Are you wondering when the curveballs life keeps throwing are going to stop?
- Do you lack the confidence and motivation to make tough but necessary changes in your personal life, your career, your spiritual path?
I help people like you move through life's transitions with an effortless ease. Connect to your self. Relax. Feel less stress. More joy.
If you are truly ready to wake up, there are a few different ways that we can work together one-on-one:

The Spark Session is for you if you are ready to make a change in your life starting today. This session is meant to be the catalyst for you to refresh your life and change things around.

This 75-minute session will bust through your blocks, identify patterns, and create a game plan to change your life.

During a difficult transition in my life, I began practicing Kundalini Yoga and was immediately captivated by the rapid and transformative power of the practice. Since that time, I have woven the principles throughout my life – be it in my early morning yoga and meditation practice (sadhana), a breathing exercise at a stoplight, or singing mantra with my daughters. Now, as a K.R.I. Certified Kundalini Yoga and Meditation teacher, I am humbled to share this technology with others. My teachings are accessible and easy to implement, and will take you beyond the physical aspects of yoga, allowing you to connect with your truth.
Awaken your spirit and discover your true potential!
That's exactly what Kundalini Yoga does.
Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of awareness. This technology combines breath and movement to strengthen the nervous system, balance to glandular system, open the heart and purify the blood among other things. The balance that it brings to body, mind and soul helps you to feel uplifted and connected. I feel so grateful to have found this path at a time when I needed to learn how to navigate the stresses of daily life in a healthy and fulfilling way. It is a journey of self-discovery that you just have to experience for yourself.
Ignite sessions: $100
These private Kundalini yoga and meditation classes last 60 minutes and are tailored for your specific goals. Sessions will begin with the use of mantra to tune in to ourselves. We will also use breath work to calm and center our bodies. A kriya, or a set of Kundalini Yoga exercises, will follow. Deep relaxation, meditation and hands-on Reiki treatments should be expected as well.
Ignite sessions are available live in Birmingham, Alabama at your location or mine or virtually via Skype from any location.ready toignite?

One of the common threads that I often notice with my clients is a lack of connection with like-minded people, feeling alone on their journey. Group coaching is a perfect solution to this, as it brings those who are working on similar issues together in community, providing support, accountability and wisdom of the collective. It is an intimate space, focused on goal setting, deepening awareness, taking action, and accountability. Many lifetime friendships are formed in these groups.
Group Programs
Group programs will take place via teleconference, video chat, or via live small group sessions.
40-day illumination: $49
It takes 40 days to break a habit, so this group program is designed to take place over a 40 day period, allowing you to fully integrate to desired outcome into your life. Some of the topics covered in this group program include: work/life/family balance, body image, self love, improving relationships, discovering your passion, having more fun, handling anxiety and stress and creating a simpler, more organized life. Group coaching is both a virtual and in-person modality.
What you'll get:
- 4 group teleconferences that will be recorded
- Private Facebook group where participants can interact with each other, be laser-coached by me and share goals and support
- Unlimited email support between group calls
- Weekly emails with meditation, relaxation & stress relief tips and tools
- One 20-minute private check-in with me
Workshops will take place live in Birmingham, and will range from 2-hour seminars to half-day intensives. Workshops might include movement, meditation, centering practices, etc.
Sample Workshop topics will range and may include:
- Waking up to your true potential
- Creating passion in your relationships
- Couple and group meditations
- Reinventing your daily routine
- Incorporating Kundalini practices into your every day
- No more numbing: mindful eating principles
- Deeper connection in all of your relationships
Check out my Upcoming Events for information on my next Illumination Program or Workshops.
Speaking to groups is one of my favorite things to do, as it offers me a unique opportunity to educate, connect and inspire. I am available to speak to clubs and organizations, corporations, schools or private events. Sample speaking topics include:
Depressed or Just Numb?
I can help your audience figure out the root cause of their unhappiness and learn tools and techniques to get themselves out of it
From Breakdown to Breakthrough
Mindset Shift: learn to see challenging experiences as opportunities for growth
Tapping Into Your Most Passionate Self
It's there. Just beneath the surface. Let's have fun digging deep and uncovering it!
Living a Life of Purpose, on Purpose
Would you like to figure out your life purpose and LIVE IT?

"The corporate world is uninspiring and unfulfilling!"
"I live for the weekends and vacation!"
"I wish I could just quit!"
Sound familiar?! These are the feelings I'm hearing it more and more from so many in the corporate world. They are tired, they are stressed, and they are unhappy. They feel that their work is just that… work! These are not the attributes of a strong team, or a strong company.
The problem stems from feeling a lack of integration between work and life. A lack of balance. This is concerning because we need people working within the corporate environment to be living a life of purpose and feel happy, content, balanced and ALIVE.
That's where I come in.
The employee-coach relationship is founded in the spirit of partnership, collaboration and alliance. My role is not to push a preset agenda or script, but to engage the employee at his or her state of "readiness to change" and proceed to educate, empower and promote self-efficacy. In congruence with the theory of Self Determination, employees are encouraged to outline their own personal goals and the steps they feel ready to take in working toward those goals. I function as a supportive guide, source of accountability and expert resource to steer the direction of change and maximize the likelihood for success.
I know how to inspire, engage and empower employees to take control of their health and wellness.
My programs, seminars and workshops engage, educate and motivate and include easy to implement tips and advice, and can be customized and personalized based on your organization's specific needs. Modalities used will include: stress relief, laughter yoga, team building, trust exercises.
Reach Out today for more information.
"Working with Virginia is like being given your own magic wand!"
I am so grateful to have worked with many people who have now woken up and are living lives that they absolutely love. A few love notes are below.

Your review of the impending reforms to A levels in England ("Remaking the grades", 15 August) refers to their potentially negative consequences on many universities' efforts to widen the participation of under-represented groups, citing the significantly reduced take-up of AS levels, used by some admissions tutors as a valuable marker in this cause. However, there is another equally significant problem for those, such as my university, that use another widening participation strategy.
The use of contextual data is supported as good practice for "fair admissions" by many in the sector. The University of Bristol's approach to this is based on identifying those markers that generate evidence of students' educational disadvantage, derived from their schooling experiences, which dissipates while at university. So these groups, although entering Bristol with lower average A-level grades, perform similarly by their final degree assessments. This pinpoints, first, which (if any) of the several possible widening participation definitions on offer are valid bases for such a "contextual" approach, and second, how to calibrate the entry grade differentials to represent fair treatment of such applicants. But if these entry qualifications change entirely, such that the grades in the two exam systems are not directly comparable, then the contextual data calculations need to be started from scratch, leading inevitably to some "dead time" before the first cohorts with the new qualifications graduate.
How long this will take depends on the specifics of the contextual approach adopted. Bristol's model uses entry-exit grade differentials for the three most recently graduating cohorts. (Depending on the vagaries of just one cohort's experience is a risky alternative, especially so while a new entry qualification beds in.) Let's take the "minimum disruption" case with students on just three-year degree programmes (assuming the university's ability to convert results from this trio of cohorts almost immediately into a reformulated and coherent fair admissions policy). We must note that the new A levels will be phased in over two school years (with some new syllabuses taught from 2015, the remainder from 2016) and hence two Ucas cycles. As a result, we would not be able to use the results to inform the contextual data methodology for some seven Ucas cycles.
This would take us well into the next-but-one Parliament. Who knows what the national widening participation policy landscape will look like by then?

Latricia Chisholm Davis never dreamed that her recognition as an honoree for Connect Faith's 40 Under 40 in 2014 would lead to meeting her future husband.
She boarded a plane on Oct., 28, 2014, in Buffalo, New York, to fly to Atlanta to attend Connect Faith.
"I remember requesting the quickest direct flight, and a staff member from Connect told me he'd make sure I had the best seat on the plane," she recalls. In hindsight, her seat couldn't have been better—because it's where she met Garney Davis Jr.
Though the two were from the same town in upstate New York, attended the same high school and had mutual friends, they had—remarkably—never met. They chatted on the flight and exchanged business cards upon landing, promising to stay in touch.
"We both knew the conversation on the plane was only the beginning for us," says Chisholm Davis. She was right; they became a couple. That fateful meeting wasn't the only significant moment the two shared on a flight, however. On Nov. 2, 2016, two years after they met, Davis Jr. proposed while they were traveling on a plane from Buffalo to Atlanta once again.
The couple married in June and are continuing in their respective careers: Chisholm Davis as the CEO and founder of Emerge, and Davis Jr. as CEO, president and pastor of Impacting Love Global Ministries. He also works at Erie County Medical Center as chief trauma chaplain and coordinates mission trips to South Africa and Uganda. On top of their individual pursuits, the couple is partnering to plan a marriage conference in 2018.

Members of Artist Reformation have been collaborating with SalaamGarage for over 2 years to share stories of those who have aged out of the foster care system in the greater Seattle area. Our goal is to honor these men and women by sharing their stories, as well as to raise awareness about how the foster system desperately needs reform. Currently, as foster kids turn 18, they are kicked out of their homes, very often without receiving any preparation for life after 17. It is common for them to come from homes of abuse and neglect. 1 in 5 teens aged out of foster care ends up homeless, and 1 in 4 ends up incarcerated. Many women who age out into homelessness end up in the sex trade industry. Our desire is to see these patterns stop with more (both in quantity and quality) foster parents starting to foster and to have more parents adopting these kids.
On May 1st, after raising financial gifts through a successful Kickstarter campaign, we had the privilege of sharing 8 stories of people who have aged out of foster care in our area through a multi-media exhibition. It was so amazing to see so many generously give to help make this exhibition a reality!
Please come and check out opening night of our exhibition in it's new location, the 220 & Change building - home of Impact Hub Seattle where we hung a previous art installation, "Captured In a Net," for our work with The Overflow Project.
When: first Thursday's of the month during the Pioneer Square Art Walk from 5pm-9pm - starting July 3rd, our opening night, through Sept 1st
Where: the 220 & Change building - 220 2nd Ave S Seattle, WA 98104
Who: all are invited to these free events
Facebook Event Link: http://on.fb.me/TC0T2x - Invite your friends and family!
Thank you, again, to all of those who were able to show your support through serving, giving, and/or attending. We hope to see all of you July 3rd for opening night at our new location! To find out more about this ongoing project or to get involved with SalaamGarage in Seattle, visit HERE.

By Caitlin
When I chose to follow Christ, I didn't realize that the hard part was still to come.
Each day, as I learn more about who God is, I realize that I have choices to make. Each choice will either bring me closer to Him or further from God and His mission; that's a lot of responsibility.
Sometimes the decisions are big, like when my husband and I chose to move across the country and live among the unreached, urban poor. Other days the decisions are small, like when I choose to walk home from work without my headphones so that I am open to the possibility of conversation. Either way, these decisions matter.
Counting the cost
Choosing Christ in the everyday choices is often far from simple. To each activity, relationship, and opportunity I say yes to, there is always something that I must then say no to. Jesus calls on his disciples to count the cost of the choices they make (Luke 14:28-20).
Here are some examples of everyday MoveIner choices and their potential costs:
Ultimately I choose to be thankful that God allows me to play a part in the work He is doing here on earth. I am thankful to serve a God who encourages me to count the cost. Sometimes my ministry looks impressive while other times it is only the innermost part of my heart that is changing. In both the big, busy seasons and the small, quiet seasons God knows my heart behind the choices I make. I look forward to the next opportunity I have to choose Christ and to follow him into this mission as a MoveIner.

We're proposing changes to our constitution that you'll have the opportunity to vote on in early 2016. Please review the changes as below:
Q. Remind me, why are we doing this? What's wrong with the existing set-up?
A. The current legal status of the club is unsuited to deal with its current size and complexity, with some individuals taking on too much personal responsibility. Members were consulted in the summer on a range of options and more than half thought we should pursue Charitable Incorporated Organisation status.
Q. What are the benefits of being a Charitable Incorporated Organisation?
A. This option removes liability from individuals and has other, potential financial advantages, such as enabling OTS to apply for grants available only to charities, and being able to reclaim tax on donations.
Q. What legal requirements would this new arrangement impose on OTS?
A. The Charities Act 2011 requires charities to prepare certain statements of account, reports and returns.
Q. Won't all this added bureaucracy make OTS more cumbersome and inefficient?
A. OTS already compiles much of the information required by the Charity Commission, e.g. annual accounts, so the additional administrative burden would be minimal and would be outweighed by the advantages.
Q. What happens at the Annual General Meeting?
A. The first, formal, part of the meeting deals with formalities which are required for the CIO, namely the presentation of the annual accounts and reports and the election of the trustees. Once that is done the AGM concludes. We then proceed with the ACM, or annual club meeting. By splitting up the meeting in this way we can adopt a more relaxed informal process towards making decisions and discussing items which affect the day-to-day running of the club, which would ordinarily not be part of an AGM
Q. Why are we required to have trustees? What would they do?
A. The law on setting up CIOs requires us to have trustees who would be legally accountable to the Charity Commission. They would be responsible for overall governance and making sure that OTS is run in accordance with the Constitution.
Q. How would trustees be appointed or elected?
A. Trustees would be elected by members at the AGM.
Q. Why are you proposing three trustees? Why not more / fewer?
A. The role of trustees is one of oversight and compliance at a high level with the CIO legal requirements. This just requires a few trustees and three is the minimum effective number.
Q. Will the trustees hold their own meetings? What sort of things will they discuss?
A. The Constitution enables the trustees to hold their own meetings. Their remit is to ensure the Club complies with the Constitution and the legal requirements for CIOs.
Q. At present, we just have the one Committee. Having three tiers will surely makes things much more complicated?
A. The new structure should in fact make things easier because roles and responsibilities will be devolved to the appropriate level. The table attached illustrates how the different powers and responsibilities would be operated at the different levels.
Q. But in practice, won't this mean that the Committee will refer all decisions to the trustees for approval, thus slowing everything down?
A. This won't be necessary because the Committee or sub-committees will be able to take decisions under the terms of their delegated authority.
Q. How would Committee members be appointed or elected?
A. Committee members would be elected, as now, by members at the AGM.
Q. What would happen at the AGM?
A. The first, formal, part of the meeting would deal with formalities which are required for the CIO, namely the presentation of the annual accounts and reports and the election of the trustees. Once that is done the AGM concludes. We would then proceed with the ACM, or annual club meeting. By splitting up the meeting in this way we can adopt a more relaxed informal process towards making decisions and discussing items which affect the day-to-day running of the club, which would ordinarily not be part of an AGM.
Q. Wouldn't it be easier to make the trustees part of the Committee?
A. The trustees and the Committee would have different roles, so it's important that they are kept separate. The trustees would ensure compliance with the Constitution and the Committee would effectively run the Club under delegated powers. However, we propose that one of the initial trustees should be the Chair of the Committee to ensure continuity and effective communication between the two tiers.
Q. How will the trustees know what's going on if they aren't part of the Committee?
A. The Chair of the Committee will be the main link between the trustees and the Committee. The trustees will hold regular meetings with the Committee and there will also be informal interaction between the two tiers.
Q. What if the trustees don't like the decisions made by the Committee?
A. The trustees are not there to second-guess the decisions made by the Committee under delegated authority. They won't intervene, provided the Committee acts legally and in compliance with the Constitution.
Q. Who will sit on the sub-committees?
A. The arrangements will be set out in the bye laws and are likely to differ from one sub-discipline to another. We are working with the representatives from the different disciplines to capture what will best work for them.
Q. What about spending power?
A. The sub-committees will agree their budgets with the main Committee and will then be able to spend money up to that limit. Any unbudgeted expenditure would need to be agreed by the main Committee.
Q. Will the sub-committees have real decision-making powers or will all decisions have to be rubber-stamped by the main Committee?
A. The devolved model means that the sub-disciplines will be able to decide for themselves things like who sits on their committees, booking pool time, coaching arrangements, which competitions they should enter and whether to hold fundraising events, subject to agreed budgets.
Q. So the sub-discipline reps will be sitting on the main Committee, too? That doesn't seem quite right.
A. The reps will have different roles and responsibilities. On the sub-committee, their focus will be the sub-discipline. On the main Committee, they will still be representing the interests of the sub-discipline, but from a broader, Club-wide perspective.
Q. What if members want to have additional disciplines in the Club in future, such as triathlons or sub-aqua diving?
A. The Constitution and bye laws will be framed in such a way as to enable this to happen. Our aim is to create a framework that will work for OTS now and in the future.
Q. Will this new arrangement have an impact on our membership fees?
A. We keep membership fees under review all the time. We asked members whether the Club should hire an administrator to deal with a number of the administrative tasks. A majority favoured doing so, but no final decision has been made on this or on whether this would impact on membership fees.
Q. Can members call a meeting if there is something they want to discuss?
A. Yes. If at least 10% of the membership request one, the trustees must call a general meeting.
Q. How will disputes be dealt with?
A. If these can't be resolved amicably by mediation, the Constitution provides a mechanism for the matter to be referred to a disciplinary committee.
Q. What will the bye laws cover? Why aren't they part of the Constitution?
A. The Constitution focuses on key principles and the fundamentals of the Club's structure and governance such as accountability, equality and grievances. The bye laws will contain more detail about how OTS will operate, including the delegated authority to the Committee and sub-committees, and the composition and election to those committees.
Q. Where are the bye laws?
A. We have started to work on the bye laws and we will give members a chance to comment on them when they have been developed further.
Q. When are you proposing to put this new arrangement in place?
A. We would like to have the new arrangements in place as early in 2016 as possible. We need to draft and seek members' views on the bye laws and we will need to get approval of the Constitution from the Charity Commission which could take a couple of months. But it's more important that we get this right and that members are happy with what we put in place.

1387 Almost Christmas
I photographed this by artificial light as it starts getting dark around 3.30 here, so probably not the best pic. This is a view today out my living room window onto my front privet hedge and gate, you can see what the weather is like here! I swept my front path twice today and of course it snowed again as soon as I was finished each time.... I bought this lovely Poinsettia yesterday and I thought that I would paint it in all it's glory, with a back-drop of snow to set it off nicely
My hubby arrived this morning jet lagged from Atlanta GA, fortunately the airport here was cleared of snow, good thing he didn't get a later flight! Haven't seen him since the summer which is a looong time. He's snoozing at the moment so I thought I'd grab the chance to paint a quick pic!

Another one of my practice paintings.
I have decided that in the new year I want to figure out where I want to go with my painting, of course I would love to earn my living from painting, but I am way off from that. I want to figure out the best way forward and what subjects, style and format I want to concentrate on. I think that I have been jumping around a lot this year in my style and techniques I am at the moment very unclear what to do and I'm not sure how I'm going to get this epiphany. There are many artists who stick to one genre and style and perfect it and their art is recognizable anywhere. I guess I have to become single minded and find my niche and stick with it, it's just finding it!

Practice Pieces
Thursday, 16 December 2010
1384 Hey Titch! Sold
I did 3 practice pieces yesterday using these cups they were inspired by Carol Marine's book that I just got in the post featuring 100 of her paintings. Well I can tell you it ain't easy to paint as loose and beautiful as she! I'm too much of a perfectionist so I keep on correcting until all spontaneity is lost, I can't help myself gr...
I guess I should have chosen easier objects to paint without so many ellipses. Oh well I'll try some more today and try not to correct so much see if I can improve a bit.

1383 No Room for Me? SOLD
This pretty ceramic hand painted basket I found in a charity shop and knew it would feature in a still life sooner or later, these shiny apples are competing for attention.
So have you done all your Christmas shopping and sent off all your cards well I'm just getting around to it?! I braved the crowds yesterday and came home glad to be out of it. My excuse is that I was snowed in, and supposedly theres's more to come (snow that is). What's the weather like where you are?

1382 Captured
Really happy with how this one turned out, I started with a vague idea of what I wanted and then it took on a life of it's own and I went with it! There is lots of different textures on this canvas and materials from rice paper to cheese cloth and rough pumice stone texture at the bottom, structure mediums and metalic paints as well, needless to say I got paint on the walls which always seems to happen when I start flicking paint around. I had to rescue a couple of other paintings that got hit with stray paint!
Monday, 6 December 2010
1381 The Flow
I used a lot of different materials and mediums and enjoyed the whole experience, I got pretty messy and my room too and am in the middle of the next one which hopefully will be ready to post tomorrow.
So off to slosh some more paint around... til manana.

1380 Wintery Stream
This is another Irish country scene near where I lived in the midlands.
It's still snowing here in Dublin and is very cold, I have been told the the weather is very unusual for Ireland and certainly for this time of the year too. It does look pretty though especially when you don't have to go out in it ;)) brrr I've got the heating on full blast so I'm toasty!

1379 Lily
I have used only two colours for this painting, cobalt blue and light red plus white, as an experiment and enjoyed the process very much. My aim was to make her sweet face the focus of the painting making all other parts secondary and only play supporting roles, I am pleased with the feel of this piece.
We have loads of snow at the moment and it's quite dismal outside which made photographing of this piece a bit of a headache as the colour and value changes are so subtle.
I am always looking for new directions and subjects maybe I jump around too much, but I get excited by so many ideas that I want to try out I just can't keep to one theme or style for long. I guess that's the joy of being creative.

Austin was great to work with. He was able to figure out what pace is good for me and help me move forward with my abilities to play guitar. He was good at challenging me without pressuring me.
English has always been a huge struggle for me! Having Austin kindly share many useful tips has really gone a long way for me! I enjoyed having the lessons at either nearby Coffee Shops or at Austin's church. I have come to not only understand how to write a better paper, but also embrace how fun it can be to effectively convey my thoughts. I definitely recommend Austin!Show More

The editorial board of the journal Prometheus: Critical Studies in Innovation has threatened to resign because the academic journal's corporate owners, Taylor and Francis, have ordered them not to publish a paper critical of the academic publishing industry. The paper, Publisher, be damned! from price gouging to the open road, was written by academics from the University of Leicester's School of Management.
What has been characterised as rampant price inflation is one characteristic of the market in academic journals – or at least those journals published by commercial publishers – with several studies since 2000 indicating rapidly increasing prices charged by for-profit publishers (Bergstrom, 2001; Bergstrom and Bergstrom, 2004; Dewatripont et al., 2007; Harvie et al., 2012). Bergstrom and Bergstrom (2004) suggest that a journal page published by a for-profit publisher is between three and five times more expensive than one published by a not-for-profit publisher. One factor driving increasing prices is journal reputation (Bergstrom, 2001) – but this leads to increasing profit margins (McCabe, 2004). In short, widely-cited journals are perceived to be higher quality, which allows for-profit publishers to charge higher prices for such journals; if widely-cited and more highly-priced journals also enjoy higher circulation (because they are widely-cited), then publishers also benefit through lower average production costs (McCabe, 2004; Dewatripont et al., 2007).

It's so nice. I feel like I'm wearing my grandma's old curtains, and I'm totally loving it.
Also, thank you for all your kind comments on my handmade dresses! You're definitely encouraging me to continue slaving away over the sewing machine (quite at the detriment of my studying…)

The name itself already gives the design away: The Marecucina by Alno is clearly nautically inspired. The worktop made of solid walnut veneer with narrow maple inlaid work is reminiscent of the deck of a boat, and the LED lighting panel of a sail. A special three-dimensionally milled edge defines the bow. On request, a mast with storage space and a chrome-plated railing can add further accents typical of ships. However, the Marecucina is not only a design object for individualists but also a functional kitchen. How it made its way from drawing board to series production is explained by Alno product designer Ulrich Dahm-Wachsmann, who played an important role in conceptualising and designing the Marecucina.
How did you get the idea of creating a kitchen like the Marecucina?
The design of kitchen furniture is heavily influenced by the architecture of living rooms. And from architecture, we know that nautical and maritime elements possess a very high degree of attractiveness. Virtually everyone connects positive memories with the sea and journeys on board ships and has sailed himself or herself or would like to do so. As such, we saw the opportunity, from a marketing aspect too, of being relatively sure of tapping into a certain basic sympathy with our design innovation. Even the very first sketches that I drew and which were not least inspired by the precise observation of beautiful yachts were greeted with great enthusiasm by the marketing and development team. As a result, the project more or less ran itself – through to the serial production stage.

This is one of those recipes that I will make so many times in my life that people will come to expect biscuits when I show up somewhere. These biscuits will be served at every holiday gathering, all future dinner parties and every cabin trip until the end of my time. There are so many variations on this recipe that it works for every single occasions. Not joking.
While waiting for a jelly making lesson, I got adventurous and decided to try these biscuits on a whim. It was brave considering that my jelly-making teacher is also my IRL kitchen idol. When she asked for the recipe, I knew it was gold. Since that afternoon, the recipe has made an appearance at family bbqs, dozens of breakfast events, as a gift for my cousin when she had her second baby and for dessert at a bridal shower. It's so freaking good guys.
While I am on my way to some kitchen skill, recipe creation is certainly not one of them yet. This recipe belongs to Alexandra Stafford and I found it here.
I do have a tiny tip to add. Cut the butter into tiny cubes beforehand and keep in the freezer until ready to use. I find it helps with the flakiness. It also makes the recipe feel a little easier.
Buttermilk Biscuits:
*This recipe rests for one hour in the fridge.
This recipe belongs to Alexandra Stafford and I found it here.
Cut butter into tiny cubes and chill in freezer.
Combine all dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Mix well.
Once mixed, add in butter one small handful at a time while mixing with Kitchen Aid. Continue to mix until butter is pea-sized.
Slowly mix in the buttermilk. Mix until dough forms, but do not mix until smooth. Dough should be falling apart a bit.
Roll the dough out into a rectangle. Fold the dough hamburger style, in half. Turn and fold again. Fold four times in total.
From there, roll the dough out into another rectangle.
Cut the dough into eight equal parts and move to a baking dish.
Store dough in the fridge for one hour on the baking dish.
Garnish with melted butter and salt and bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes!
3 cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
12 tablespoons butter, cubed & chilled
1 1/4 cup buttermilk

26.02. - 30.04.2006
The work of Stefanie Schneider oscillates between fiction and reality. She is staging herself in film still like sequences which often contain a whole group of images. Thus and with the aesthetic of expired Polaroid's she evokes reminiscences of faded American myths.
Her series "Wasteland" shows a young woman, whose life gets off track after her meeting with of a young man. Stefanie Schneider is telling a story of old customs, new pleasures, risks, violence, lust and change. In an extraordinary and almost laconic way "Wastelands" tells a new interpretation of the old theme of becoming adult.

SAN FRANCISCO — It was three years ago this month that thousands of gay couples began to wed in California after the state's highest court legalized same-sex marriage, setting off a joyous — if short-lived — period for supporters.
That matrimonial bliss was quickly snuffed out in November 2008, when California voters passed Proposition 8, which limited marriage to unions between a man and a woman.
It was a crushing defeat for gay rights groups, many of which swore to take the issue back to voters — in a kind of instant do-over — as soon as possible.
But with a pending federal court case showing promise and major donors reluctant to step forward, it is unlikely that California voters will revisit same-sex marriage anytime soon.
"I'm not aware of a single donor who would support a ballot measure campaign," said Chad Griffin, the co-founder and board president of the American Foundation for Equal Rights. "A ballot would be unwise, foolish and, in fact, dangerous."Continue reading the main story
That danger, according to several leaders in the gay community, comes from the potential impact that a failed effort in 2012 could have on the federal case, which was brought in 2009 by Mr. Griffin's group. Mr. Griffin, an experienced fund-raiser, hired the high-powered legal team of David Boies and Theodore B. Olson to pursue a constitutional challenge to the law, and last August, a federal judge — Vaughn R. Walker of the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California — sided with opponents of Proposition 8, finding that the voter-approved law violated constitutional guarantees of equal protection and due process.
But the legal machinations continue on several fronts: Judge Walker's decision has been appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and on Monday, there will be a hearing before another district court judge regarding a motion to vacate Judge Walker's decision because of his sexual orientation. (Judge Walker, who retired in February, is gay.)
Regardless of how the lower courts rule, most legal analysts believe the Boies-Olson case will eventually be decided by the United States Supreme Court. No one seems to want anything to happen outside the courtroom to prejudice judges at any level.
"We're right at the cusp, and it is the conventional wisdom that we can't go to the ballot to repeal and lose," said Kate Kendell, the executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights in San Francisco. She said an electoral loss could "create a very toxic environment" for same-sex marriage and "send a message that might chill an otherwise more compassionate court."
Evan Wolfson, the president of Freedom to Marry, another rights group, echoed that statement, saying the federal case has been a "tremendous boost to public understanding about how the denial of marriage really harms families," but it's also had a chilling effect on a California ballot push. "While the case is pending, it has made it harder to mobilize the volunteers and money and energy," he said. "That's really been the good and bad of it."
In addition to the potential impact on the federal case, some worry that a 2012 ballot campaign could also galvanize conservative groups in a presidential election year, and bring more Republican voters to the polls in California in a year when initiatives on issues like immigrant rights and the death penalty may make the state's ballot.
But the wait-and-see decision will no doubt displease some who feel that the voter-approved ban on gay marriage — in a year in which President Obama was elected — was a low-water mark in the gay rights movement.
"There's still definitely a great deal of ire about the passage," said Andrea Shorter, the director of marriage and coalitions for Equality California, which had a prominent role in the expensive and failed battle to defeat Proposition 8. "Certainly the success of the federal case has given the movement optimism. But nevertheless I think folks are still reeling and hurt by what happened in 2008."
The argument in favor of returning to the voters in 2012 rests on a few assumptions. One is that in an Obama re-election campaign would draw a host of younger voters, who tend to back same-sex marriage. In addition, recent polls show growing support for gay marriage nationwide. A Gallup survey in early May found that 53 percent of respondents believed that gay unions should be lawful.
And then there are the purely personal reasons.
"Honestly, I am tired of begging to have someone accept me," said Serafine Simien, 35, a lesbian and a mother of a 10-year-old girl, who said she would support a ballot measure to repeal.
Ms. Simien was one of about 30 people who attended a meeting in Sacramento on Wednesday to discuss the pros and cons of a 2012 campaign, one of a dozen town-hall-style meetings held over the last month — and across the state — by Equality California. And while Ms. Shorter described the meetings as "a very earnest effort to gather input and ideas," there also seemed to be a wariness in the room.
"Nobody sees the numbers," said Dennis H. Mangers, 70, a veteran Sacramento lobbyist and political adviser who also attended the Sacramento meeting. "If you're in favor of going in 2012, it's an emotional reaction."
For its part, Ms. Shorter told the group, Equality California, which would probably play a leading role in any statewide campaign, was considering "a host of other factors and variables," and she conceded that "California may or may not be a priority" nationally in 2012.
In recent years several other states have taken center stage in the debate over same-sex marriage. In New York, legislators are expected to decide soon on a bill to legalize such unions, and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has indicated his support. Same-sex marriage is legal in five states — Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont — as well as in the District of Columbia.
While California voters may be sitting out, ballot measures are expected in several other states, including Maine, Maryland and Oregon. Those efforts are moving ahead, in part, because smaller, less populous states are cheaper places to run campaigns. Estimates are that gay rights groups would need to raise $40 million to $60 million to run an effective campaign in California.
Moreover, the deep-pocketed donors that gay rights groups typically rely on are already pouring money into the federal court case, said Richard Socarides, a former domestic policy adviser to President Bill Clinton and the president of Equality Matters, a gay rights group in Washington.
"It would be very hard to go back and tap them for a simultaneous referendum," he said. "There just isn't the stomach for it."Continue reading the main story

It would have made more in character had I gone to Quebec with the intention of finding Whippets, but the truth is I'd forgotten about the famous Canadian cookie and was more focused on Montreal bagels. Luckily, when we stopped at a store called Maxi to buy road snacks, I spotted the Whippet Cookies. If you've never heard of them, they are similar to Mallomars, with a soft sandy base cookie topped with a big blob of marshmallow and coated all over with chocolate. From what I've read, they are wildly popular in Quebec. They're a cookie that has it all — varying textures, interesting flavors and an interesting appearance. I couldn't wait to try making a version at home, and when I got back to Texas, I ended up making at least five batches using different methods.
To start, I used a recipe from Gale Gand located on Food TV's website. I made it twice — first with Gale's cookie base and second with packaged vanilla wafers. The packaged wafers worked surprisingly well, but Gale's cookies were crumbly and soft, but a little dryer than I'd hoped (but still good!). For consecutive batches I ended up testing a few more recipes for the base and settled on a slightly modified version of one by Todd English which includes a little wheat/graham flour, honey and cream and gives you the best of both worlds in flavor, taste and texture.
I also experimented with and without the pastry bag and found it was helpful, but not really necessary. With a pastry bag, you have more control over the process and get cookies with a lovely point.
Without it, you get cookies that look more like this.
Close up!
For me, making the marshmallow topping was definitely the most exciting part of this recipe because up until last week, I'd never done it. For the first couple of batches, I used Gale Gand's marshmallow topping which was included with original cookie recipe. It tasted great, but the marshmallow mixture kept coming out gloppy. So next, I tried David Lebovitz's marshmallow recipe and it worked perfectly. So for my final recipe, I used a modified version of David's recipe for the filling.
After making marshmallows, the most interesting part of the recipe was the coating. I was dreading the dipping process because I could picture the marshmallows falling off or melting right into the chocolate, but what happened was they held together perfectly and dipping was actually quite fun! I improved my dipping skills dramatically and brushed up on tempering by using a great tutorial from Chef Eddy, who also introduced me to the idea of buying food grade cocoa butter.
So this is the recipe I came up with in the end. The base is a wheat and honey cookie from Todd English, the marshmallow topping is adapted from David Lebovitz's recipe and the coating is whatever chocolate you can afford. I'd love to hear your variations and modifications. I will also mention that I tried using Alton Brown's Vanilla Wafer recipe as a base as well as an old soft, sour cream Amish recipe. Gale and Todd's recipes came out on top, as the others were either too sweet or too hard. After Gale and Todd's recipes, I'd say packed Nilla Wafers were the third best choice. Still, you could have a lot of fun matching cookie bases to marshmallow in this recipe. I'm thinking peanut butter for the next round….
- 1 3/4 cups (7.9 oz) all-purpose flour**
- 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons (2.8 oz) whole wheat (graham) flour
- 3/4 scant teaspoon salt
- 3/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 10 tablespoons (5 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons beaten egg
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites at room temperature
- 1 envelope (8g) powdered gelatin, I used Knox
- 1/4 cup + 8 teaspoons cold water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons light corn syrup
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 pounds good quality tempered chocolate or 2 pounds of good quality chocolate chips plus 2 tablespoons of shortening or cocoa butter**
- Combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt and baking soda and set aside.
- In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle, beat the butter with the confectioners' sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, followed by the honey, cream and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms.
- Pat the dough into a 1/4 inch thick (thinner, if you prefer) slab on large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or nonstick foil. Chill for at least 30 minutes or until very firm. Dough starts out very soft, so chilling is necessary.
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Using a 1 or 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out about 30 rounds (you'll get more with the smaller cutter). Arrange on two large cookie sheets and bake one sheet at a time on center rack for 10 minutes or until the bottoms are nicely browned. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool.
- Prepare the marshmallow. Fit a large pastry bag with a 1/2 inch round tip.
- Put the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
- Put 1/4 cup of water in a small bowl and sprinkle the packet of gelatin over it. Stir well.
- In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 8 teaspoons of water, sugar, corn syrup and salt. Using medium heat, heat without stirring until a candy thermometer registers 240 degrees (soft ball stage).
- While the syrup heats, beat the eggs with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form. If eggs form peaks before syrup reaches 240, stop the mixer. When the syrup hits 240 degrees, turn the mixer back on and pour it into the egg whites in a thin stream. Use a rubber scraper to make sure you get it all.
- Scrape the gelatin into the still-hot saucepan and stir it so that it thins and dissolves from the residual heat. Add it to the mixer while it is still going. Add the vanilla and keep on beating for 5 minutes or until bowl feels cool and mixture is thick enough to pipe. Pipe mounds of marshmallow on top of the cookies and let the marshmallow topped cookies sit on a rack for at least two hours. After the two hours have passed, you can move on to dipping OR you can freeze the cookies and dip them when convenient.
- For dipping, use your favorite method. I recommend tempering the chocolate, but that takes practice. So temper the chocolate if you know how, or just melt the chocolate and fat in a double boiler. Dunk each cookie one by one in chocolate and lift with two forks, letting chocolate run down the sides. Set on a rack that you've placed over a sheet of foil or parchment to catch drips.
