This proposal aims to revitalize the image of MIDC Marol by enhancing the quality of pedestrian environments and providing safe access to Chakala metro station. The transition from industrial to business district, close proximity to the international airport, upcoming VAG corridor and affordable real estate prices compared to Central Business Districts in MCGM area, positions MIDC Marol as a desirable location for businesses.
However its infrastructure and image still corresponds to that of an industrial area. MIDC Marol lacks the image of a business district quality transport infrastructure for its employees and an attractive public realm. While large "hard infrastructure projects" like the metro are being built to improve mobility; "soft infrastructure projects" – such as comfortable and convenient pedestrian access have not received attention.
A detailed documentation of MIDC Marol was undertaken by EMBARQ India in 2011, along with a broad study of the land and building uses around it. The physical, economic, institutional and socio-cultural networks were documented through mapping, surveys, interviews, counts and field visits.


Vegan Whole Wheat Thin Mints - Eat. Drink. Shrink.
I honestly have a myriad of other recipes I could share today, but this recent one blew me away for many reasons. I'm personally not a "mint" person. I don't crave the flavor and just don't find it satisfying.
However, we all grew up on Girl Scout cookies and the classic Thin Mints were loved by all, including myself. You could keep them in the freezer and enjoy throughout the year or for however long they lasted lol. Today with the latest recipe they are actually considered a "vegan" cookie, but for myself..
Yes, vegan. However, they are packed with sugar, refined flour, preservatives and lord knows what else. If the recipe for vegan Thin Mints were intricate, perhaps I'd opt for the packaged option, sure, but I can't deny it..
They are just too easy and too good!
What I love about this recipe is, everything! It has minimal ingredients, lower sugar, whole wheat flour, coconut sugar instead of white sugar, coconut oil instead of butter, is quick, easy, perf for any occasion, affordable, can easily be made in bulk and non vegan approved!
If you love homemade replicas of classic desserts or simply crave a vegan cookie that will become a staple in your home.. these vegan whole wheat Thin Mints are it!
Better than the GS version!
In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda until combined. Add coconut oil, milk, vanilla, and mint extract. Pulse a few more times until the mixture comes together. If it's still more of a dust, you can add almond milk 1 tbsp at a time. Transfer the dough onto a surface and with your hands knead the dough until it comes together and all the flour is incorporated. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove dough from refrigerator. Roll the dough into a large cylinder like shape. Make Thin slices and press into the pan. You want the cookies to be on the thin flat side as they will slightly rise but not spread a lot and they'll be coated with chocolate making them thicker. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Let cool completely.
Coating: Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl for 1 minute, stirring every 10 seconds until fully melted. Stir in the mint extract. Dip completely cooled cookies into the chocolate with a toothpick or cocktail pin and let the excess drip off.
Place cookies on a cookie sheet and refrigerate until chocolate coating sets. Store in the refrigerator until serving.

Crossed Keys
Author: Michael Cecchetelli
Publisher: Scarlet Imprint
Edition: paperback (bibliothèque rouge edition)
Illustrations: Illustrated with seals, sigils and talismans
Crossed Keys is a chimeric binding of the Black Dragon and the Enchiridion of Pope Leo III by grimoire magician Michael Cecchetelli. They are complementary grimoires, spanning the very earliest example of the genre to the late bibliothèque bleue period. Together they comprise a wealth of spells, spirits, lore, talismans and psalm magic, with their head in the highest heavens and their feet in the deepest hells. This is the first time they have been bound into one volume.
Extensively footnoted, the seals corrected, re-drawn and restored, with excerpts and workings from the translator's magical record, this is a well armed and practical text which throws light on the Grimorium Verum, Red Dragon and Grand Grimoire. It is a vigorous text, designed to be put to use.
The Black Dragon draws heavily on the 1760 (1810) Grimoire of Honorius, which is significantly different to the 1670 edition and the earlier 13th century Sworn Book of Honorius (Liber Juratus) which is an ancestor in title alone. The spirits referenced are therefore those we find in the Grimorium Verumand the seals have been corrected in line with the research of Jake Stratton-Kent, as presented in The True Grimoire (Scarlet Imprint, 2009). The original seals are reproduced for comparison.
In common with many of the bibliothèque bleue texts, the Black Dragon is a pastiche, but one which is clearly more than the sum of its parts. The illuminating preface to the text is not found in any other grimoire sources and evinces that this was the compiled book of a working magician drawing on the available material of the day. The operating system bears similarities with that of the Red Dragon but the cleft stick is replaced with the stang. Yet this is no simple treasure hunting manual. The magician is promised the power to subjugate all the infernal forces – quite a formidable boast. We find many other elements of cunning craft in these pages including the toad bone, black cat bone, horse secrets and traditional spells for good and ill. The black hen and main de gloire are present and there is a notable use of an unusual form of the magic mirror.
It is a fascinating collection of miscellany which though seeming late, cut-up and corrupt has benefited from a fresh translation to be revealed as a text in and of itself.
In contrast, the Enchiridion of Pope Leo III is an early grimoire and a work of nominally Christian magic. Legend suggests that it was presented by Pope Leo III to Charlemagne and was responsible for his worldly success. A suitably disputed date of 1523 is given to its production. The Enchiridion is referred to repeatedly in the Black Dragon and elsewhere in the grimoire tradition where the penitential psalms are required. It is important for us to understand the mindset of the Enchiridion if we are to understand the grimoires. The text was much in vogue in the court of Louis XIV and the circle of Madame de Montespan in the affair of the poisons. It continues to circulate in the French speaking world today, which speaks of its enduring virtue. Through the use of talismans, psalms, orisons and efficacious charms the reader is able to triumph over a multitude of ills.
This is the magic of the Old Religion of Europe, that is, Catholicism. Though the more diabolically inclined of our readers may be righteously appalled at the pious nature of the language, this is an important part of our magical heritage. The methods employed are those of Paganism, and the liturgical approach suggests creative uses of our own holy texts rather than being yoked to those of Christianity. In illicit combination with the Black Dragon, we have delivered up a bastard with papal blood in its veins, which promises to place in your hands the keys to both heaven and hell.

Notes to the Black Dragon and the Enchiridion
This is the first widely available English language translation of the classical grimoire known as Le Véritable Dragon Noir: Les Forces Infernales Soumises à l'Homme, or The True Black Dragon: the Infernal Forces Subject to Man. Sharing spirits with The True Grimoire and Red Dragon, as well as some of the Elemental Kings from the Goetia, this is a curious text which may illuminate these others in its own peculiar black light. It is bound to a second translation, that of the Enchiridion of Pope Leo III, for reasons which will become apparent, despite the seeming incongruity of an infernal text pressing palms with a work of psalm magic. As such the combined work bears the title of Crossed Keys.
Before endeavoring to introduce this volume it behooves me to spend a moment introducing myself in the interests of assuring you that this book is the creation of an active and practicing magus and not an armchair or theoretical magician. I set out on my path at age 15, primarily within the Golden Dawn system. While claiming to have practiced magick from such a young age may sound to some a flight of fancy, I can assure you it was work of a most serious nature. My teacher was an Adept in the truest sense of the word. Not one of these new age astrally initiated internet adepts, but one who played the game in its original form. I studied with him until the age of 18, when I finally opened my first of the classical grimoires, the Mathers/Crowley Goetia. That book became the catalyst for my transformation. That was 13 years ago, and I have never looked back. I have made the magick of the grimoires and the Ancients my sole pursuit and to it I have remained faithful.
While I continue to study many magickal philosophies and systems, traditional evocation and grimoire magick have become my life's work, and in this field I have found great success. What separates me from any one of the thousands of others that make this claim is that due to a very unique set of circumstances I had four years of monastic existence wherein I had zero responsibilities, no obligations and absolutely nothing to do but read, study, theorize and practice magick. My entire life consisted of a 9 × 12 foot room where my sole possessions were a small bed, a toilet sink combination, an am/fm walkman and a small desk. As you may have guessed, I'm referring to a prison. Maximum security federal prison. For nearly 4 ½ years, that cell was my entire world, and I was permitted to leave it only for a 15 minute daily shower and one hour of exercise three times a week. I was prohibited from making even the standard prisoners' collect calls, and every piece of mail I sent and received was photocopied and read before reaching me or leaving the walls of the prison. I was believed to hold the leadership role in what the bureau of prisons considers a Security Threat Group, and I was segregated because, quoting my classification report: Inmate's presence in a general population or less restrictive environment would pose a threat to the safety and security of the orderly running of the institution and its staff. I was, however, permitted access to the prison chaplain and, through him, to order books via any mail order company. I offer this glimpse into my life not to convince the reader that I am some big, dark, scary figure, but because this sentence, intended to punish me for my transgressions of man's law, became the the means by which my magickal development was facilitated, and, indeed, expedited.
Consider if you will the scenario in which I found myself and how it differs from that of the modern Magus, who, aside from his study and practice of magick, has to simultaneously live a mundane life. I had absolutely no responsibilities, no obligations, no duty, no distraction from wife or child, no TV, no junk food or other deterrents to progress. My entire world was a 9 × 12 cement room.
I encourage each of you to sit a moment in contemplation of this. With 4 ½ years in this level of solitude, having vast experience with lucid dreaming, astral travel and magick, with nothing to keep you company but the collected works of Aleister Crowley and copies of every grimoire and magickal treatise you could find available by mail order or that you could convince the chaplain to print off the internet, and absolutely no distractions of any sort, to what heights (or depths) could your development reach?
Under those exact conditions, using candles carved out of bars of soap, incense created by using perfume and cologne sample inserts torn from magazines and ignited using the battery from my am/fm radio, other improvised tools of the arte, and an indefatigable will, I succeeded in magickal work I am convinced would have taken me decades to master in less restrictive conditions, or in the free world, having day to day life to contend with. The loss of ones freedom is indeed a great castigation, yet in my case it became more of a gift than a curse. Having absolutely no responsibility for maintaining your own existence allows one a single minded focus in which one can devote every waking thought to furtherance of your magickal career. As a result of this, I have progressed far faster than I would have otherwise, having stood before spirits regarded as Angels, and, conversely, Demons and having learned from both, the latter more so than the former.
The translation of the Black Dragon was done during that period of time. It was undertaken because, despite the great lengths the chaplain went to in trying to find me a copy in English, none was to be found. One Thursday he came to my cell with the news that only a French edition could be had. This was a source of annoyance to me, since I am easily frustrated at anything being forbidden or hidden from me. I therefore ordered the French version, several versions in fact, and undertook to translate it. While working towards a translation of the Black Dragon, I noticed that in places its author refers to the Enchiridion, which subsequently led me, upon my release, since I was unable to locate even a French copy of this work while in prison, to translate the Enchiridion as well. The work you hold in your hand is the product of that obsessive desire to possess the unattainable.
Black dragon, the common name by which the French grimoire Le Véritable Dragon Noir: Les Forces infernales soumises à l'homme has become known, is a grimoire not at all unlike its contemporaries, in that it deals with evocation of the Infernal Forces for the purpose of forcing them to do the will of the magus. The opening Preface is in fact a commentary, apparently by the Magus who set the work down on paper. In it he expounds advice and guidance which echoes that taught in nearly all of the classical grimoires, and further explains the steps of the evocations that are not found in the corpus.
The First Part, immediately following the Preface, is entitled Conjuration of the Demons and provides methodology for evoking the four Kings, being those of the four cardinal directions. Following this are the Conjurations to be practiced each day of the week, along with the days and times appropriate for summoning each of the chiefs of the infernals and their respective seals. Interestingly enough, while in the process of their exhaustive editorial work to prepare Crossed Keys for print, Peter and Alkistis of Scarlet Imprint were able to trace the Black Dragon's seals and figures further back, tying them to those of the Grimoire of Honorius as well as the Grand Grimoire. The latter association furthering my own assertion that The Black Dragon and The Red Dragon, a complete version of which has recently been released by Teitan Press, are in fact closely related. For this reason, and in light of the groundbreaking work done by Jake Stratton-Kent which is leading the magickal community to reconsider the origins and genesis of our arte, we have decided to issue this as a corrected edition, reproducing the illustrations as they should have been and replacing the corrupted versions. In consideration of those among our readers who prefer the work as it was presented in the ms from which I worked and without alteration, all of the seals and figures from the Bussière edition have been faithfully reproduced in the notes. Following the conjurations is a collection of what, at the time this manuscript appears to have been put to paper, we could classify as practical applications of the magick set forth in the tome. Examples thereof are exorcisms, incantations to protect (and to harm) animals, workings designed to prevent fatigue even when travelling long distances, creation of the sympathetic mirror, ridding a house of demons and so forth. It should be noted that while I am not one of the many who believe that in every word of a grimoire is hidden a secret, I encourage you to consider that workings which were designed for purposes such as this can be used creatively; that is to say, interpreted more fittingly for the era in which we exist. For example, the working to which is attributed the purpose of preventing the magus from becoming weary in walking; In modern times, the equivalent of becoming weary and fatigued from long travels on foot could be jet-lag. In the operation to stop a serpent from moving against you, consider that in ancient times the serpent was a term representative of the devil, and in modern times, a deceitful or treacherous man is often given the moniker serpent or snake.
Returning to the topic at hand: The Black Dragon. Only once prior has this grimoire ever been put into English, that being an edition produced by Robert Blanchard and the International Guild of Occult Sciences. That edition, should you desire a copy, is available very, very rarely on the secondhand market, changing hands for sums never less than $300. This, I swear, is a testament to the tendency of occultists to assign value to books based on rarity rather than quality, since that translation is absolutely, unequivocally horrible. This, if you are familiar with IGOS, will not surprise you. Nonetheless, flawed as it was, that edition was the only English version of The Black Dragon, until now.
Little is certain about the origins of Le Véritable Dragon Noir. Although it has been widely known in grimoire circles, and is mentioned in many scholarly works on medieval and Renaissance magick, it has been largely overlooked. Even the French original is rather obscure, with the best description I've been able to find being Grimoire de sorcellerie contenant une foule de recettes pratiques réunies par un sorcier: charmes et contre-charmes, secrets merveilleux, la Main de gloire, la Poule noire. (Grimoire of witchcraft, containing a collection of formulas gathered by a sorcerer: charms and counter-charms, marvelous secrets, the Hand of Glory, and the Black Hen). This edition is largely derived from the Bussière edition, pseudepigraphically ascribed to Honorius in the 15th century.
Of the Enchiridion, in stark contrast to the Black Dragon, much is known. We have, on this work, not only historical provenance of the ms, but also magickal lore and legend attributing it to Charlemagne. While the Enchiridion is not a grimoire in style of the former, it is indeed a book outlining magickal practices and the use of the biblical psalms for material and worldly gains. With regard to the legend and history of the Enchiridion, I defer here to A.E. Waite:
The legend of the Enchiridion is as follows. When Charlemagne was leaving Rome after his coronation by Leo III., that pontiff presented him with a memorial of the visit in the shape of a collection of prayers, to which wonderful virtues were attributed. Whosoever bore the little work upon his person with the respect due to Holy Scripture, who also recited it daily to the honour of God, would never be overcome by his enemies, would pass unscathed through all perils, and the Divine protection would abide with him to the end of his days. These things took place in the year 800. In the year 1523 the Enchiridion is supposed to have been printed at Rome for the first time. Thus broadly outlined, there is nothing in this legend to offend possibility or to raise very serious objection to the authorship. The reputed connection with occult science would indeed seem the chief presumption against it, because there never was a literature so founded in forgery as that of Magic, except the sister science of physical Alchemy. When we come, however, to examine the work at first hand, the case against it assumes a different aspect, and it is condemned out of its own mouth. While it is not a Ritual of Magic, it is also certainly not a simple collection of devotions designed to fortify the person making use of them against dangers of body and soul by the operation of Divine Grace; it is rather a collection of charms cast in the form of prayers, and is quite opposed in its spirit to the devotional spirit of the Church; furthermore, it is concerned with worldly advantages far more than with those of a spiritual kind. The work opens with a characteristic stultification in respect of its own claim, by pointing out that of all the sovereign princes of past ages there was none more fortunate than Charlemagne, and the source of his great prosperity is acknowledged by him in a letter of thanks addressed to Pope Leo, the original of which, it is affirmed, may still be seen in the Library of the Vatican, written with the monarch's own hand. He states therein that since his reception of a little volume entitled Enchiridion, filled with special prayers and mysterious figures, sent by His Holiness as a precious gift, he has never ceased to be fortunate, and that of all things in the universe which are capable of harming man, not one has shewn any malignity against him, in gratitude for which he proposes to devote himself and all that is his to the service of his benefactor. The letter is in Latin; the monarch styles himself Carolus Magnus, which appears highly unlikely, and he terms the pontiff Summus Antistitum Antistes, but this is not in itself improbable, as the Papal claim to Episcopal supremacy was fully developed at the beginning of the ninth century.
It is needless to say that there is no such document preserved in the Vatican Library; furthermore, there are no letters of Charlemagne extant, and, despite the encouragement he gave to men of learning and the Academy mentioned by Alcuin, it is not at all certain that he could either read or write. Lastly, while it is quite true that his empire included Germany, as it did also Holland, Belgium, Switzerland and part of Italy, after his coronation it is much more probable that he would have styled himself Emperor of the Romans. There is, in fact, no colourable pretence of genuineness about the so-called autograph letter, or to be precise it betrays itself – as I have indeed suggested already. This fact being established, we may proceed to the consideration of the alleged date of publication – Rome, 1523. This edition is mentioned by Pierre Christian in his Histoire de la Magie, and he defends the authenticity of the Enchiridion on the ground, among others, that it passed unchallenged in the Eternal City during such a pontificate as that of Clement VII. A second edition is said to have been printed at Rome in 1606; between 1584 and 1633 it appeared four times at Lyons and once at Mayence. In 1660 it was published for the last time at Rome. Unfortunately for the purposes of this criticism, the examples of 1633 and 1660 have been alone available. The first claims to be nuperrime mendis omnibus purgatum, but it has been evidently in the hands of a Grimoire maker, and it appears to have been edited and extended in the Grimoire interest. This is certain, but it is impossible to say how much beyond the Seven Mysterious Orisons connected with the name of Pope Leo are to be found in the original, or whether the original was antedated. Outside these Orisons the modern accent of the work is unmistakable, and it is difficult to understand how any instructed person, much less a bibliophile like M. Christian, could have been deceived by it. It is certain, however, that when he approached the secret sciences, their substitutes and their memorials in literature, he depended more on his imagination than on his knowledge or research. The work itself, as already said, is simply a collection of religious charms, effectual against all the perils to which every sort and condition of men may be made subject on land, on water, from open and secret enemies, from the bites of wild and rabid beasts, from poisons, from fire, from tempests. While it thus ensures against evil, it gives happiness in domestic matters and in the enterprises which contributeto prosperity and to the pleasures of a contented life. The proviso is that 'the instructions must be followed as accurately as human weakness will allow.
Fortunately they are more simple than the grimoires. When a copy of the book has been secured, it must be placed in a small bag of new leather, so that it may be kept clean. A vow must be made to carry it as far as practicable on one's person, and to read with attentive devotion at least one page daily. If a specific danger be apprehended, a page suitable to its nature should be selected. Reading must be done upon the knees, with the face turned to the east: 'so did Charlemagne invariably.' Furthermore, works of piety must be performed in honour of the celestial genii whose benign influence it is desired to attract; alms also must be given to the poor, 'as this is of all things most pleasing unto such spirits, for thereby we become their coadjutors and friends, the economy of the universe being committed to them by the Creator.'
Psalm magic can be found in Judaism, and became one of the staples of cunning craft. It continues to be utilised in Hoodoo, Vodou, by folk practitioners and in other lineages of magical Catholicism. We can even consider the Qabalistic Cross of the Golden Dawn as a form of psalm magic. Furthermore, many of the Psalms have their origins in Babylonian and Egyptian hymns and prayers of demonstrable magical intent. We also find psalm fragments embedded in the Greek Magical Papyri. Indeed, we find spells in the Enchiridion which are similar or identical to those in the Black Dragon, suggesting a continuity of European spellcraft expediently taking on, or discarding, a Christian guise.
Though it may appear alien to the modern mage, whose inclinations may favour the demonic, the owner of Le Véritable Dragon Noir would have no qualms following its instruction to use the Orisons from the Enchiridion. This is not dissimilar to the practice of dual observance in traditional craft.
With imagination and understanding the principles are still valid in application and these Keys are thus combined, crossed as indeed they are in the great Papal Seal.

YANKTON, S.D. - The people watching money in politics say the fundraising arms race has gone nuclear. Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics, expects candidates and their allies to spend a minimum of $5.8 billion on federal campaigns this year, an all-time high.
And, she says, more of the money will be of a particularly sneaky kind.
Some fundraisers have defended the system, saying campaign donations are an extension of free speech. But Krumholz says what's really going on is that politicians and donors are building relationships they can use to their advantage. She says everyone in the political elite knows who is helping whom, but citizens are left in the dark.

Monterey man faces 25 to life for crash that killed woman and dog off Blanco Road
SALINAS, Calif. (KION-TV) UPDATE Jan. 17, 2023, 10:48 a.m.- Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni said that a man that crashed a stolen vehicle in a ditch off Blanco Road at Armstrong would face 25 years to life for killing his passenger.
Nicholas Charles Howder, age 34, from Monterey, was convicted Tuesday for evading a peace officer causing death, evading a peace officer against traffic, evading an officer with willful disregard, vehicular manslaughter, and driving on a suspended license.
Nicholas Charles Howder mugshot courtesy of Monterey County Sheriff's Office.
On Feb. 16, 2022, Howder was initially compliant during a traffic stop initiated by a Salinas Police Officer while in a stolen vehicle. He changed his mind and drove off, reaching over 100 miles per hour, said Pacioni.
Howder did not stop at four red lights during the five-mile chase, said Pacioni. The chase ended when Howder lost control of the vehcile and hit a pole.
The vehicle flipped in the air and landed upside down in a ditch off Blanco Road at Armstrong. His female passenger was killed in the crash, said Pacioni. The woman who died was identified as Brandy Delamore. She was 49 at the time of her death.
We also previously reported a pit bull in the car was also killed in the crash. Howder was charged with animal cruelty but was acquitted on the misdemeanor charge, said the district attorney's office.
Howder faces 25 years to life in prison at his sentencing hearing on Feb. 9, 2023.
UPDATE Feb. 17, 2022, 12:00 p.m. Blanco Road was re-opened after the overnight crash.
Woman and dog killed in crash following Salinas Police chase
An overnight crash on Blanco Road at Armstrong Road has left a vehicle in a ditch and a woman dead after a chase with police in a stolen vehicle.
Police said at 10:14 p.m. Wednesday, a police officer noticed a stolen vehicle on Boronda Road approaching N. Main Street.
After confirming it was a stolen vehicle, an officer got behind the vehicle as it turned into Auto Center Circle.
The Gates were closed, so the suspect Nicholas Howder, 33, could not keep going, so he put the car in gear and drove southbound on Davis Road as officers approached the traffic stop.
A chase ensued, and Howder reached speeds over 100 mph, continued southbound on Davis Road, and turned westbound onto West Blanco Road.
That's when Howder lost control of the vehicle east of Armstrong Road, left the roadway, hit a sign, drove into a ditch, and rolled several times.

Officers tried to give medical aid but could not get to the occupants.
Salinas Firefighters used the jaws of life to extract the passengers.
An unidentified woman was pronounced dead on the scene, as was a pit bull in the vehicle.
Howder was taken to the hospital for moderate injuries.
Blanco Road was closed between Armstrong Road and Davis Road, according to the Salinas Police Department.
Howder will face charges of evading, possessing a stolen vehicle, driving on a suspended license and vehicular manslaughter once he is released from the hospital.

Is fashion to blame for John Galliano's ugly behavior?
Clifford Pugh
Mar 1, 2011 | 7:27 pm
Milan and New York have their fashion moments, but Paris still sets the standard. For much of the past decade, the highlights of every fashion week in the French capital have come from two British wunderkinds.
No one has consistently presented more amazing shows than John Galliano and Alexander McQueen. I was fortunate to see several shows by both designers — McQueen often showed wildly imaginative collections in arenas far from the Louvre, where many shows are held, while Galliano created lavish collections for Christian Dior with sets worthy of a Broadway blockbuster, along with quirkier shows featuring his namesake line (one included farm animals) — and they never ceased to amaze with their sheer beauty and sense of theatricality.
But neither designer was able to cope with his demons and, as a result, fashion has lost much of its magic.
Galliano was dismissed from his job as creative director at Dior Tuesday, following a drunken, anti-Semitic rant at a Paris bar and the release of a video in which he said, "I love Hitler." His dismissal comes a little over a year after McQueen committed suicide and a few days before Galliano's fall collection for DIor is to be shown in Paris.
Galliano seemed an odd choice when he was hired as creative director at Dior in 1997. Known as the "enfant terrible" of the fashion scene, he took pleasure in shocking and courting controversy. But bankrolled by the deep pockets of luxury conglomerate LVMH, Galliano indulged his wildest fashion fantasies and made Dior relevant again with fresh looks that updated and honored the traditions of the famed French fashion house.
His shows were often controversial — a collection of tattered gowns inspired by homeless people in Paris drew pickets in front of Dior headquarters — and almost always memorable. For Dior's 60th anniversary in 2007, Galliano pulled out all the stops with a haute couture show at Versailles inspired by 500 years of art history and featuring supermodels Naomi Campbell and Giselle Bündchen. With the exception of Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel and Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton, few designers have had such large financial backing to dream as big as Galliano.
At the end of each Dior show, the audience cheered until Galliano made a dramatic appearance on the runway in a dramatic pose, his profile enhanced by a spotlight. Until recently, the 50-year-old designer usually came out barechested. Then he would retreat to a backstage tent where he would receive only selected visitors.
Such eccentricities seemed oddly endearing until his recent outburst. Galliano's anti-Semitic rant seemed to catch everyone off-guard. The New York Times cites several friends who said that the designer's behavior had become erratic and that he had been drinking heavily. Oscar winner Natalie Portman, the face of the Miss Dior Cherie fragrance, said she was "shocked and disgusted" by his behavior. Some are wondering if Portman forced Dior's hand with her strong condemnation. Nowdays, perfume adds a lot more to the bottom line than haute couture.
Such disgusting behavior isn't exclusive to the fashion industry (note Charlie Sheen and Mel Gibson), but the idea of the tortured genius seems to be part of the fashion myth.
''The trouble with fashion is that it's a hard job and in the end it makes you crazy,'' fashion consultant Donald Potard told the Times. ''There's so much pressure to create and create all the time. You must be strong or this job will destroy you.''
I don't buy it. It's a tough business, but coal miners have it a lot harder. Top designers are often treated like spoiled brats, with their every whim indulged and their eccentricities overlooked. They are overpraised by the fashion press, particularly if they work for a large conglomerate with a big advertising budget, until they do something so heinous it can't be ignored. When was the last time Vogue offered honest criticism of a designer?
I suspect Galliano and Gibson would be foul-mouthed bigots no matter what profession they took up. But it's sad to see such talent wasted.
Galliano is reported already headed for rehab. He is likely to come out, repent his sins and resurrect his career at a fashion house that needs help.
Meanwhile, Dior will continue under the direction of another hot name — Lanvin's Alber Elbaz and Ricardo Tischi of Givenchy are among the early favorites to succeed Galliano. The McQueen label, under the direction of his longtime assistant Sarah Burton, lacks theatrics but it has drawn good notices, which is likely more than enough for its owner the Gucci Group. (Michelle Obama wore one of Burton's McQueen gowns to the state dinner for the Chinese premiere.) In fashion, like any business, the bottom line is the bottom line.
And there will always be the next big thing.

Palace host Down Memory Lane event with club legends Cannon & Swindlehurst
Crystal Palace Football Club and Palace for Life Foundation presented the second of their Down Memory Lane events at Selhurst Park on Tuesday (25th Feb) afternoon, with Palace fans given another opportunity to listen to and interact with our guests – this time, former players Jim Cannon and David Swindlehurst joined club historian, Ian King.
Proceedings began with the guests being shown a short film promoting the FA's new season-long Heads Up campaign. Heads Together and the FA have teamed up to run the campaign to raise the importance of talking about our mental health.
Football is our national game, passionately followed and wholeheartedly loved by millions in the UK and billions around the world. Many of us won't go a day without talking about it.
The campaign and event provided a perfect opportunity to remind everyone that we all have mental health considerations and it's time we start taking our mental fitness as seriously as we do our physical.
Through Heads Up, the campaign is aiming to help fans feel as comfortable talking about mental health as they are talking about the beautiful game. They want to build on the decades of work that have been done to change the conversation on mental health and help people feel better able to support their family and friends through difficult times.
After the introduction to the Heads Up campaign, Palace For Life's Chief Executive, Mike Summers, gave a brief introduction to the attendees of the great work being done by the club's Foundation.
It was then time to let the thoughts, anecdotes and superb memories from that era to unfold, with host Terry Byfield guiding the guests through the 70s and into the 80s, with the conversation covering Malcolm Allison, Terry Venables, FA and Youth Cup success and, of course, that promotion night against Burnley.
The next segment of the afternoon was an opportunity for the audience of almost 150 to put their questions to the special guests, that the attendees had put on the memory board.
Cannon, who made over 600 appearances for the club, said: "It was a really enjoyable afternoon and great to have the opportunity to tell our stories from the playing side but also hear what our fans recall from a time of our club's history which had so many different chapters."
Swindlehurst, who scored the crucial second goal on that night in May '79 as the club gained promotion to the top-flight, was pleased to be back at Selhurst Park again. "Crystal Palace is always known as a family club and one that plays such an important part in the community," he said. "Events like this are a perfect example of how fans and former players can come together and recall our own personal stories about the Eagles from that time."
Ian King gave his memories and served up some historical facts and figures from his time following the Eagles, and was pleased to see the fans' response to the items of memorabilia that he had brought along. "I was asked to bring along some items which would help revive some of the memories of the time," he said. "It was great to see them all so well received, programmes, scrapbooks, photographs and a special jigsaw from the 79-promotion squad. It was great to see so many take the time to come over and take a look at some of items."
The afternoon concluded with fans taking a look behind the scenes with a trip to the dressing rooms to round off this popular afternoon.
The club and the Foundation will be continuing this event in the future so please keep a look out for our next trip Down Memory Lane.

David Swindlehurst

Behind whose walls did hundred warriors die, And Britain's centre felt the fatal blow.
But when we find the reasons of her fate To be but trifling � trifling did I say ?
For being noble! daring to be great, Nor calmly yielding to tyrannic sway !
Those glorious buildings, turning into wind, And loath to mingle with the common air.

The ALDE group hosted a demonstration of BMW self-driving cars at the European Parliament on 16 June.
Connected vehicles have the potential to change the way in which we live and simplify our lifestyles.
As we advance towards a driverless future, the ALDE group of the European Parliament hosted a public hearing at the European Parliament on 16 June for consumers, stakeholders, and legislators to discuss the challenges that come with intelligent transport systems and automated, connected vehicles.
Questions were raised on consumer safety, the economic impact on the single market and current EU legislation, the transformation of the European automotive industry, and the interaction with member states' urban transport.
The hearing was followed by a demonstration of BMW self-driving cars.
Speakers at the hearing included Gunther Oettinger, EU commissioner for digital economy and society who gave the keynote speech, Guy Verhofstadt, president of the ALDE group in the European Parliament, Erik Jonnaert, Secretary General of the European Automobile Manufacturer's Association (ACEA), and Dr. Christoph Grote, senior vice president of BMW.
High on the concerns of speakers was making sure Europe leads the digital revolution in cars and transport systems, rather than following the footsteps of non-EU countries like the US and China.
"If we don't keep up with the digital revolution, non-EU companies will set the standards for the future," said MEP Dita Charanzova, who hosted the hearing.
"Connected cars, connected trucks, autonomous driving, automated driving is the future and we have to do our best that its a European future," said Oettinger.
If national governments end up stripping down the Digital Single Market, they will repeat what happened to the commission's previous digital plan.
As connecting everyday items to the internet is set to become a normality, the EU Commission is trying to develop a 5G network to cope with the extra demands.
The economy of all countries is transforming into a digital economy whether they like it or not. Huawei's Global Connectivity Index provides an indicator of which EU countries are best poised for development and growth.
The European Court of Justice delivered stunning verdicts in 2015 to protect citizens' fundamental privacy rights over mass-surveillance.
Cars that run on petrol or diesel are meant to be a rarity by the year 2050. Progress is slow. But some Nordic cities have radical visions of how a "Hyperloop" could change that.

Nevertheless...
Last Sunday's sermon, from Cindy. She preached from the book of Ecclesiastes, the words of Qoheleth, who often spoke of Hevel, or vanity...
Nevertheless
Ecclesiastes 12:1-8
Remember your creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come, and
the years draw near when you will say, "I have no pleasure in them"; 2 before the sun and the
light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return with[a] the rain; 3 in
the day when the guards of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent, and the women
who grind cease working because they are few, and those who look through the windows see
dimly; 4 when the doors on the street are shut, and the sound of the grinding is low, and one
rises up at the sound of a bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low; 5 when one is
afraid of heights, and terrors are in the road; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper
drags itself along[b] and desire fails; because all must go to their eternal home, and the
mourners will go about the streets; 6 before the silver cord is snapped,[c] and the golden
bowl is broken, and the pitcher is broken at the fountain, and the wheel broken at the
cistern, 7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the breath[d] returns to God who
gave it. 8 Vanity of vanities, says the Teacher;[e] all is vanity.
I was taken with this morning's scripture passage for it's imagery and flow. I could imagine
Mackenzie or one of her fellow poets reading it at one of their poetry slams.
Throughout the book of Ecclesiastes, Qoheleth has sounded the chord of hevel, vanity,
futility, meaninglessness, absurdity, and here he gives us a picture of what that might look
The sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened…
The guards of the house tremble…
The strong men are bent…
The women cease working…
The doors on the street are shut…
There are terrors on the road…
There are several traditional interpretations of this passage, though what first came to my
mind upon reading this was the thousands of refugees, some of whom Michelle met in
Hungary, who even now are trembling and bent as they face the terrors of the road, who
have had to cease work, who have had to shut their doors, and board up their houses in
order to head for safety…It's a very poignant picture, isn't it?
More traditional interpretations view this as a picture of the decline of a house or an estate,
which is easy to see, or as a picture of a storm. The traditional and fairly common
interpretation that I like the most though, sees this poem as an allegory to aging...
Because all must go to their eternal home, and the mourners will go about the streets: after
all that happens, you die and are buried…The silver chord is snapped, the golden bowl is
broken, everything returns to dust, including you…
Wow! That's depressing, but then so is most of Ecclesiastes. Vanity of vanities, all is vanity!
And yet, throughout the book, Qoheleth, even in spite of his disillusionment and anger at
the world as is, is able to affirm living, and wants his students to affirm living, too. That's
why this poem begins with "remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the
days of trouble come." In other words, seize the day, carpe diem, embrace life while you
can! Even while droning on and on for twelve chapters about how awful everything is,
there is nevertheless something inside him that cannot keep from resisting.
I am reminded of a line from Ken Sehested's poem, Bright Sadness:
In the sadness that surrounds our lives, our community, our world, we give thanks,
nevertheless. More is at work than we can see…
In the midst of life's crippling failures, we still give thanks. In the midst of Fox News'
deceptions, we still give thanks. Nevertheless, nevertheless.
I went to an art workshop this summer, and one of the things that we did was to paint on
silk. If you've ever painted on silk or a like fabric, you know that the colors are prone to run
and blend. But they had this liquid there for us to use that's called a resist. I'd never used
it before, but what I learned was that you can use the resist to make your pattern, because
it resists the color of the paint.
It's as if there was some resist dwelling in Qoheleth. As meaningless as he found
everything to be, and as often as he droned on about hevel, hevel, hevel, this other thing
kept popping up inside of him, this invitation, this exhortation to enjoy life.
Six times he repeats this basic message:
Go eat your bread in gladness, and drink your wine in joy, for your action was long ago
approved by God…Enjoy happiness with the one you love all the fleeting days of life that
have been granted you under the sun. Whatever it is within your power to do, do it with all
your might…(9:7-10).
Rabbi Harold Kushner believes that this is not Qoheleth's way of saying, nothing matters
anyway, so you might as well have a good time.
But rather, Kushner says, I suspect that he is saying something like this: I have examined all
the evidence and come to the conclusion that nothing endures and nothing makes a
difference. Everything is vanity. Human beings are born and die like flowers or insects and
that is all there is to it. The evidence leads me to conclude that life has no meaning. But
there is something inside me that will not permit me to accept that conclusion. My mind
tells me that the arguments for the meaningless of life are overwhelming: injustice and
illness and sudden death, criminals getting away with murder while good people die in
shame and poverty. My mind tells me to give up on my quest for meaning because there
isn't any. But something from deeper inside me wells up and overrules my mind, dismissing
the evidence, and insists that in spite of all, a human life has to mean something…
Wendell Berry, in his Mad Farmer Manifesto, says that as soon as the generals and politicos
can predict your mind, lose it.
Kushner, here, seems to think that Qoheleth was willing, at times, at least, to lose his:
If logic tells us that life is a meaningless accident, says Qoheleth at the end of his journey,
don't give up on life. Give up on logic. Listen to that voice inside you that prompted you to
ask the question in the first place. If logic tells you that in the long run nothing matters
because we all die and disappear, then don't live in the long run. Instead of brooding over the
fact that nothing lasts, accept that as one of the truths of life, and learn to find meaning and
purpose in the transitory, in the joys that fade. Learn to savor the moment, even if it does
not last forever. Learn to savor the moment because it is only a moment and will not last.
Don't give up on life. Give up on logic. Resist!
When I was a teenager, I went to Amsterdam, and visited the home of Anne Frank. It was very sobering, as you can imagine, to see the attic, or secret annex, where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years before being betrayed and taken to the concentration camp where she died. And it was striking to see, as we were led through the last room on the tour, her words in big bold letters:
"In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again."
It's hard to imagine that kind of strength and resistance, and yet all of us have resisted at some point in our lives, pushing forward in the midst of whatever wilderness we've found ourselves in, refusing to give up on life and on God, even though logic has told us otherwise.
Even now, I would guess, there is a resistance taking place in us, something that is happening in this world, or in each of our lives, something that logic would tell us is hopeless and unalterable. But if we listen, we can hear that voice of resistance: nevertheless, nevertheless.
On Wednesday night, in our discussion of why we are Christian, we used one of Anne Lamott's writings as a spring board. One of the phrases that several of us resonated with was very simple: I get to keep starting over, she said.
It's so simple, and yet such an affirmation of life. I get to keep starting over. There's always a new birth, a new opportunity, a possibility of transformation around the corner. I get to keep starting over.
Jesus, during that last supper with his disciples, seemed to know that he was going to be executed, and soon. His hours were numbered, and everything around him was pointing to the end. And yet, he resisted. He refused to give in to the idea that his life, as fleeting as it was, had no meaning. He used the time he had left to paint a picture that his disciples would remember forever. He broke the bread, he passed the cup, he told them to remember him. And all these years later, we still are. We break the bread, we drink the cup, and we celebrate the life that we've been given. In spite of all the evidence, we choose life over logic. As we share this meal, we proclaim that the ways of death do not have the final word, but rather that resurrection, transformation, and second chances are ours through the love of God revealed in Jesus Christ. We resist, nevertheless, we say, nevertheless, we resist, and we receive.
