In this new electrically-charged world, he has finally found a place for his music to soar. All that is missing is his love—Christine Daaé. Now one of the world's finest sopranos, Christine is struggling in an ailing marriage to Raoul. So, it is with excitement she accepts an invitation to travel to New York and perform at a renowned opera house.

The international Irish dance phenomenon is back by popular demand in Riverdance - The 20th Anniversary World Tour. Drawing on Irish traditions, the combined talents of the performers propel Irish dancing and music into the present day, capturing the imagination of audiences across all ages and cultures in an innovative and exciting blend of dance, music and song. Of all the performances to emerge from Ireland—in rock, music, theatre and film—nothing has carried the energy, the sensuality and the spectacle of Riverdance.
January 9 - 21, 2018
Getting away with murder can be so much fun...and there's no better proof than the knock-'em-dead hit show that's earned unanimous raves and won the 2014 Tony Award for Best Musical—A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder! Coming direct from New York, Gentlemen's Guide tells the uproarious story of Monty Navarro, a distant heir to a family fortune who sets out to jump the line of succession, by any means necessary. All the while, he's got to juggle his mistress (she's after more than just love), his fiancée (she's his cousin but who's keeping track?), and the constant threat of landing behind bars! Of course, it will all be worth it if he can slay his way to his inheritance...and be done in time for tea. The New York Times cheers, "It will lift the hearts of all those who've been pining for what sometimes seems a lost art form."
Season Option
February 14 - March 4, 2018
Wicked, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz...but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships...until the world decides to call one "good," and the other one "wicked." From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, Wicked—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story that USA Today cheers is "a complete triumph! An original musical that will make you laugh, cry, and think."
April 11 - 22, 2018
Inspired by Adrienne Shelly's beloved film, Waitress tells the story of Jenna, a waitress and expert pie maker, who dreams of a way out of her small town and loveless marriage. A baking contest in a nearby county and the town's new doctor offers her a chance at a fresh start, while her fellow waitresses offer their own recipes for happiness. Brought to life by a groundbreaking all-female creative team, the irresistible new hit features original music and lyrics by six-time Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles, a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson and direction by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus.
May 8 - 20, 2018
"Too good to be true!" raves the New York Post for Jersey Boys, the 2006 Tony-, Grammy- and Olivier Award-winning Best Musical about Rock and Roll Hall of Famers The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. This is the true story of how four blue-collar kids became one of the greatest successes in pop music history. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide—all before they were 30! Jersey Boys features their hit songs "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Rag Doll," "Oh What a Night" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." "The crowd goes wild!" cheers The New York Times. The Jersey Boys creative team comprises two-time Tony Award-winning director Des McAnuff, book writers Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, composer Bob Gaudio, lyricist Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo.

31 May 2016
The GBC Local Plan draft was approved by the full Council on 24 May and will go out to public consultation for 6 weeks from 6 June. A Newsletter which is being delivered to every household in Send parish gives full details of the potential effect of proposed development on Send.
SPC is holding an Awareness meeting at 7.30 pm on 14 June in the Lancaster Hall where you can get more information. Please come along and encourage your friends and neighbours in Send to attend. Then please send your comments to GBC!
15 May 2016
A Supplementary Sheet went to the GBC Executive meeting this Wednesday. It included details of a newly proposed site to replace the previous A43 site at Burnt Comon.
This new site, which runs along the road to Ripley from the junction with Sendmarsh Road down to the Shell garage and is partly opposite the current housing in Burnt Comon, is for 400 houses and industrial.
This is an increase of 300 houses in the Send area. Added to the 45 at Tannery Lane and 40 on Send Hill, that is a total of 385 houses i e almost as many as in the draft which was previously so vigorously opposed.
The proposal includes new access on and off the A3 at Burnt Common, which would most likely result in a significant increase in traffic along Send Road.
See details on page 3 and maps at the end
12 May 2016
In January this year, two GBC Councillors atteneded a meeting in the Lancaster Hall during which concerns were raised on the progress of the Local Plan.
In April, a new draft was published. This contained only 3 sites in Send parish:
For 45 houses in Tannery Lane;
For 100 houses and light industrial use at Burnt Common;
and a NEW SITE - on Send Hill opposite Winds Ridge, for 40 houses and 2 traveller pitches.
This is a total of 185 new houses and is is a signifiant reduction from the 400 houses previously proposed.
However, Send is also to be inset from the Green Belt. This means that land which would previously have been unlikely to receive planning approval other than in exceptional circumstances could now be at risk of development.
The GBC Executive met last night to go over issues raised by the Executive Advisory Board which had resulted in a number of amendments to the latest draft, and to take comments and questions from members of the public. The full GBC will review the draft before it goes out to a public consultation for 6 weeks, currently scheduled from 6 June. However, Surrey County Council Highways data is still outstanding, which could cause a delay.
At the beginning of June SPC will be putting out a Newsletter with links to the sections of the documentation that are relevant to Send. That Newsletter will be posted to this site.
19 December 2014
The GBC have published the responses to Local Plan Consultation.
You can read the Summary of the Key Themes of the consultation and also view all the responses. The Draft Local Plan was withdrawn following the strong response to the consultation this summer, and a revised Draft Local Plan is expected to be sent for consultation again, in June 2015.
Please note that the responses appear in "date submitted" order, so you may needas published in May 2014. This document, by the consultants GL Hearn, is intended to establish the objectively assessed housing need (OBN) in Guildford. The May 2014 document assessed the need for 652 homes per annum and this revision sets the OBN at 621 to 816
The Revised Draft SHMA can be viewed on the GBC website as well as the summary of the differences between the May and December documents.
It should be noted that this document does not address the contraints of infradtructure which Cllr Stephen Mansbridge confirmed in September 2014, will be considered in the revised Local Plan, as per the latest central government guidance.
26 November 2014
SPC Chairman issues a response to the GBC press release, thanking all those who responded to the consultation. He welcomes the Council Leader's announcement, and looks forward to more information on the proposed "inset" boundaries for the village.
You can read the full response here.
24 November 2014
The GBC issues a press release confirming that that no site will come forward for development within the green belt, any Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) or area of flood risk unless it has been fully reassessed against the tests set out in the planning practice guidance as amended in October this year.
The GBC is reviewing housing number in light of this guidance and the impact on Send will need to be assessed when the new draft of the local plan is put to consultation in mid 2015.
You can read the full press release here.
30 October 2014
GBC has now published the initial feedback on responses to the last round of consultation. Click here to read it. There are several specific references to Send, and others that include settlements such as ours.
Don't be put off from looking at it. Lessons must have been learnt from the extremely complicated paperwork for the local plan: this document is only 13 pages long and is clearly laid out. And it contains much we can take heart from.
A full analysis is due, hopefully by the end of the year.
7 October 2014 - 10.45 pm
We received a very sympathetic hearing to our petition (although it was rejected on the "technical issue" of GBC not being able to dismiss any particular sites until the responses to the last round of consultation have ben fully analysed). GBC are now acknowledging they must have green belt and infrastructure as "constraints" when taking the Local Plan further. Strong indication the Wharf Lane traveller site will be dropped from the Plan. Summary of some general themes from the Plan responses expected within the next two weeks. There will be a further round of consultation in June/ July 2015 and the final Plan is not now likely to be adopted until 2016.
7 October 2014 - 7.00 pm
SPC's petition calling for a reduction in the proposed development in the parish under the latest draft of the Local Plan will be aired at the GBC meeting in Millmead at 7 pm. Follow the proceedings via webinair either live or later here.
24 September 2014
Following the end date of 22 September for responses to the Local Plan, GBC has issued the following statement:
2873 residents and stakeholders offered 6,006 responses so far to the draft Plan in its present form and we hope to be able to give you an initial view as to the themes that have emerged within the next 6 weeks. You have expressed understandable concerns about the new proposed housing need number that has emerged from the formula laid down in the Local Plan process and many of you gave strong reasons why not to build on some of the nominated sites under current consideration. We have decided that we will need more time to take full and proper account of all these views which will demand response, and of the constraints that are emerging from the process of bringing together all the various elements of the Plan. As a result we will seek to extend the current timetable for producing the next revised draft.
The consultation period for the draft Local Plan is therefore being extended to take into account the level of interest. The volume, quality and wisdom of public response is high and reflects the strong concerns that exist in our communities about the very difficult choices that we are being obliged to make in relation to both sites to build and housing numbers. We thank you all for the public spirited way in which you have participated in this important process so far. Your views are an integral part of it and highly important to us.
The planning process requires that we cooperate as fully as we can with our neighbouring Councils in Waverley and Woking in order to arrive at a defensible housing need number for each borough. The final number will also take into account the recently revised Office of National Statistics population projections which reflect population growth and the resulting pressures for new housing this places on all Councils. We will publish the West Surrey Strategic Housing Market Assessment with our own new housing need number well before Christmas.
Like most Councils in the South East, we are placed in a difficult position. On the one hand we are being asked to make a proportionate contribution to the national housing shortage, on the other hand 89% of any new land in our Borough is Green Belt. We plan to put forward the strongest possible case for ensuring that we protect our beautiful countryside, acknowledge and act on the constraints, and at the same time satisfy the Planning Inspector that we have done all that could reasonably be expected of us to meet the housing needs of our area. We intend to do our very best to achieve this but we are under no illusions that there are some very difficult choices ahead. We thank everyone engaged in the process for helping us arrive at the best possible outcome for the future of our Borough.
16 September 2014
The Save Send group are holding the third of a series of meeting this Friday in the Lancaster Hall to help those who have yet to forumlate their response. You can view a copy of Andrew Proctor's talk via the link at right.

Send Parish Council's full response to the Local Plan, as approved at their ECM on 28 July, can be found here.
29 July 2014
We hope local residents feel better informed following Saturday's drop-in session and the GBC presentation last night. Now it's your turn to Make your Voice Heard please. Send in your objections before 5 pm on 22 September and make sure you include justifiable planning reasons why you object to any particular proposal. These would include access problems, flooding, and health and safety issues.
Stephen Mansbridge stated that he intended to "find every reason" to lower the number of planned housing units from 652 p a. And that there are 2000 more houses in the plan to give GBC optionality. He also said that the more people write in, the more that would indicate a problematic sight. Let's fight to get some reductions in the proposed development in this area!
There is still time to sign the Send Parish Council petition (see 21 June below). The Parish Office has information and materials if you need any further help. Thank you.
22 July 2014
David Burnett of Wharf Lane has set up a very useful blog, which you can find here http://savesend.wordpress.com
So far he has included information about the Wharf Lane potential traveller site and the Tannery Lane sites. He would welcome help with compiling similar information for the other sites.
19 July 2014
See Home page for details of drop-in session at the Lancaster Hall on 26 July, where there will be information from both Send Parish and Guildford Borough Councils; and the GBC Q&A on 28 July. We have invited Cllrs Mansbridge and Juneja.
14 July 2014
You should shortly be receiving a leaflet through your letterbox giving lots of info on the Where? What? and When? of the consultation. In the meantime, you can read a copy here.
Look out for Send Parish Council's stall at the Ripley Event this Saturday 19 July.
1 July 2014
Consultation starts today on the latest version of the GBC Local Plan
However, Swan Lane didn't appear to be geared up to help with info this morning (although you can ask them for a CD of documents or buy a hard copy (soon) for £35. We suggest you wait a while until we can issue further advice on how to review the documentation and valid planning reasons you could put forward to oppose or support local development. We have some time as the closing date is not until 22 September.
We are planning to issue a leaflet to every household in the village around the middle of the month. If you could help to distribute copies, please Contact Us. We will also shortly be making available hard copies of our petition against the amount of proposed development in this area. This will all take time and planning so please be patient and bear with us while we make the necessary arrangements.

Guildford Borough Council have published their Draft Local Plan for consultation.This Draft Plan will make major changes to both their proposals for the Settlement Boundary and to the sites identified for potential housing development.
Click the links below to view more information on the
The draft of the new Local Plan 2011-2031 is intended to provide the best strategy and mix of development sites in the borough up to 2031. It has been based on Guildford Borough Council's (G.B.C.) assessed need to build 13,040 new homes in the period – i.e. 652 dwellings a year. We are advised that 89% of the borough consists of Metropolitan Green Belt land and these proposals will take up 2% of that.
The Draft Local Plan will be approved by G.B.C. on the 19th June and comments and representations upon it will then be sought within a 12 week consultation period during July – September 2014.
When the current Draft Plan consultation period ends, G.B.C. aims to prepare a final draft of the Plan for publication in October-December 2014, and following representations upon it, will send the final version for examination by the Planning Inspectorate in March 2015.
These notes are not an endorsement of their proposals, merely a summary of them for your information.
During the consultation period (but not beforehand) all residents may write directly to Guildford Borough Council (G.B.C.) to let them know their views. The Parish Council also needs to prepare its own response, taking account of any comments it has received from residents and we shall probably make the Parish Council's formal response public at our Council meeting on the 21st July. It will then be put on our web-site (www.sendvillage.org) for information.
Within the consultation period, staff at the G.B.C. centre, 25 Swan Lane, Guildford (for opening times see www.guildfordlocalplan.info ) will be available to answer any queries that you may have. We have also asked G.B.C. to arrange a local drop-in event in the Lancaster Hall so that residents may be able to talk face-to-face with members of the planning team involved in this exercise, but we don't know at this stage whether this will be agreed.
As this hand-out can only be a very brief summary of these proposals and makes no attempt to provide the reasons behind them, you are encouraged to look at the Guildford Borough Council website: www.guildford.gov.uk yourself for more information.
Small infill developments within the former village boundary
Four infill sites are identified in the Draft Plan:
- Rear of 24 & 26 Potters Lane (with a potential gain of 6 houses)
- Land between Clandon Road and Field Way, Burnt Common (with a development potential of 10 houses and a potential net gain of 7 houses).
- 140-141 Send Road (to create 2 flats with a net gain of 1 dwelling)
- 197-198 Send Road (with a development potential of 9 houses and a potential net gain of 7 houses)
Large Potential Development Areas outside the former village boundary
The following much larger sites have been identified as Potential Development Areas within 1-5 years:
Areas for housing development:
Policy 78 - Land at Tannery Lane, Send (including Clockbarn Nurseries) (12 hectares). Potential for 215 dwellings.
Policy 79 - Land to east of Aldertons Farm, Send Marsh (6.2 hectares). Potential for 116 dwellings.
Area for mixed development of light industrial, storage distribution and housing:
Policy 77 - Burnt Common Warehouse and land around London Road, Send (13.4 hectares). Potential for 100 dwellings.
Area for offices, research and development and light industrial use:
Policy 70 – Tannery House, Cheriton and land adjacent, Tannery Lane, Send (1.4 hectares)
The following site has also been identified in the Traveller Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (Traveller SHLAA) for development within 6-10 years:
Site 2171 – Garages at Wharf Lane, Send. Potential for 1 pitch.
In addition, G.B.C. has published a Brief for the Green Belt and Countryside Study which identified some additional, very large Potential Development Areas where it was considered there was greatest scope to 'significantly expand the existing villages', the villages concerned being Normandy, Flexford, Send and Send Marsh/Burnt Common. Although large areas of local Green Belt land were identified in this brief it should be noted that none of them have been included within the Draft Local Plan.
In total, the increase in new dwellings proposed for this area in the draft Local Plan is 215 (with an estimated population increase of 516) for Send and 216 (with an estimated population increase of 518) for Send Marsh/Burnt Common. As Send and Send Marsh/Burnt Common have current populations of 2,314 and 1,931 respectively, these major developments would increase the total population of the two villages by 22% and 27% respectively in addition to the incoming residents of the now approved new development of 23 houses to be built on the Vision Engineering site in Send Road.
The following maps show the Draft Local Plan proposals for the major Potential Development Areas in the village(s) and its proposals for new 'Green Belt Insetting' Settlement boundaries.
You need to make your own views known, and you are urged to take the time to write to G.B.C. directly (see the G.B.C. website www.guildford.gov.uk or the Parish Council website www.sendvillage.org for the appropriate link). Don't just leave it to the Parish Council to respond. Your views are important and the number of representations made on the draft Plan may well affect the outcome. If you do nothing, then it could affect your personal situation.

At the outset let me say that cameras are not allowed inside the Dargah, Ajmer. Cell phones are allowed though. I now have a good camera in my phone, the Lumia 1020 so I was excited. I really don't feel very enthusiastic while visiting places that do not allow photography. This was my third visit to Dargah Sharif but on the last two occasions I was not too thrilled to shoot with my cell phone.
The Narrow Lanes
There are actually two ways to go to the dargah. The auto and other vehicles are not allowed on the main road leading to the shrine. Our auto driver took us through the narrow lanes and dropped us near this house. The shrine is just round the corner from this spot.
This is the walking road that leads to the shrine. Every time I went there, it was always like this. Be it winter or summer there are always the same number of people around the dargah area.
The Flowers
The road leading to the dargah is lined with flower shops. The custom is to offer a chadar and/or flowers. I simply went in and offered my prayers and thanks.
There are chadar and flower shops within the dargah complex as well. I clicked this picture within the shrine when there was a momentary lull. After a while I had to remind myself not to click anymore flowers as in the end I can use only one or two on my blog!
The Entrance
This is the main entry point to the shrine. From my first visit I do remember there is a side entrance. You cannot carry even a handbag inside the premises. I was not aware of this on my first visit and I went in looking for a locker. That is when I discovered the side entrance.
One has to enter the shrine barefoot, there are many places where you can leave your shoes. In May some parts of the floor were really hot, they almost burned my feet. But there were carpets all around, so in the end the feet burning sensation was not too much.
Inside the Shrine
Nobody really objects if you use your cell phone camera at the peripheries. I decided to click the water tank. We are supposed to wash our hands before entering the shrine.
On the walls of the main shrine people tie a thread when they make a wish (mannat). I think you are supposed to come back and untie it when your wish comes true. For the believers if you ask for a vajib mannat at dargah sharif they say it will come true. By vajib it is meant that you could not ask for divine assistance for getting someone killed or things like that. I guess your imagination is as good as mine when it comes to making invalid wishes, the ones that baba will not grant.
We went in with Syed Mohammed Fakhre Alam Fakhri, he is third from left. From the picture you can make out that we need to cover our head while visiting the dargah. You can easily go into the shrine on your own. But if you wish to go with a contact I found Alam Bhai quite helpful. He can be reached at 9829187976. I feel quite blessed that I have been called back to the dargah so many times!
This time when I visited the Wheeler Bookstore at Ajmer Railway Station the person at the stall said, "lo aa gayen Agatha Christie ki fan!" (Here comes the Agatha Christie fan). In the last two years this was my fourth trip to Ajmer and as I bought Agatha Christie every time from the shop, so the shopkeeper now recognizes me! Surprisingly I have never stayed at Ajmer, I was always there in transit. Out of the four times, I visited the dargah thrice. There is something about the place that has a pull. Till now I have refrained from making a mannat even though I do visit the shrine. My argument is that Gods have been kind to me so why ask, they already know what I want.
However, it was for the first time I took a video of the narrow lanes of Ajmer leading to the shrine.
And as I have an obscenely early morning flight on Thursday to Amman, the war to leave the station has started and so far I seem to be losing it. There are thousand and one things that are pending, which of course includes packing. I hear that wifi is not free at many hotels in Jordan so I am not sure if I will be able to connect from there. But I do assure you that I will bring back a lot of stories and pictures.
In the recent days I visited the Brahma Temple at Pushkar, the Ajmer Sharif Dargah and now it is time to attend a mass by Pope at Amman. Even though I have not really probed what kind of faith I have, but the vibes such places are so vibrant. Jordan is the third new country for me this year, Finland and Maldives being the other two. Maybe I should get greedy and ask the Gods to give me a few more countries this year as it is only May till now!
When our driver Rajendra ji pointed out the Pratap Palace, Ajmer in the distance, like true Rajasthani architecture it blended with the surroundings.
Pratap Palace, Ajmer is a Keys Resort, situated on the Ajmer Pushkar road. It is surrounded by the Aravalis and away from the hustle and bustle of both the cities. It is a luxury property and I was invited to visit the hotel.
The Room with a Jhula (Swing)
After the check in where we were greeted with the traditional tikka and welcome drink. I headed to my room after a quick check-in. I quite liked the idea of the jhula in the room. I am not sure how men folk would react to it but I loved it. The room was big, even bigger than what I am used to in luxury hotels. There was tea in the room, which is the first thing I look for in any room.
There are some teething troubles with the TV and some cell phone operators as the hotel is new. But I am sure these things settle down with time. There are 86 rooms in all in the hotel. One entire floor dedicated to suites.
A Beautiful Courtyard
Pratap Palace has a beautiful courtyard at the back which has the swimming pool too. Surprisingly for May it was still not too hot in Rajasthan and I went and soaked in the atmosphere for a while. I wanted to go swimming but as there was a dust storm in the morning they had put chemicals in the pool. They advised me not to swim. At the end of the pool a local artist was painting on the wall.
Beautiful Paintings, Good Food
There is a lovely mural on the wall of the main lobby which depicts a large procession. At first glance it looks like a painting but it is carving in marble. I wanted to click a selfie here but missed it somehow.
An entire wall in the palace café depicts a wildlife scene. I noticed only later that it depicted a hunting scene. It adds a lot of color to the dining room.
Now that I am talking about the dining room, I should take the opportunity to talk about food too. I had Indian food mostly and it was good. I tried Jodhpuri Gatta Pulao for Rajasthani and cream of mushroom soup for continental. Both were done well. They also serve excellent cookies with tea
Meeting the Owner, Mr. Pratap Rangwani
The owner of the hotel Mr. Pratap Rangwani was at the premises and he took out some time from his busy schedule to interact with us. I could easily see the passion behind the project. He is from Ajmer though he now lives abroad. He said next time if a dignitary came to Ajmer to visit the dargah they would have a luxury place to stay, and need not go back to Jaipur. He said the Ajmer Pushkar belt needed a luxury hotel and it was his attempt to fill the gap with the Pratap palace.
His staff was also stated that Ajmer is coming up as a wedding destination and the hotel has already organized quite a few wedding. They have a huge banquet hall and an attached garden to it to cater to the wedding and MICE segment.
This resort would work for you if you are looking for a relaxed, luxurious place away from the cities. The key attraction the Brahma Temple in Pushkar and the Ajmer Sharif Dargah are in 15 km vicinity of the hotel.
The auto driver left me in a narrow street in Ajmer and said I could walk straight to the Ajmer Sharif shrine ahead. When I looked at the crowd my resolve wavered but I somehow proceeded to the entrance.
I came to the dargah from the Ajmer Railway Station. The auto driver at the station wanted 200 rupees for a round trip but I was not convinced. I hailed an auto going down the road and he asked for 60 rupees to which I agreed. While walking back from Ajmer Sharif, I went to a sweet shop, bought some sweets and asked the owner where could I hail an auto from for the Ajmer station? He told me it was 10 minute walking distance and the auto driver will take a circular route to make it look longer. I decided to test his theory. The railway station is indeed at a walking distance from Ajmer Sharif. Just ask for the way and you would get there!
Getting Inside Ajmer Sharif: I was carrying my small backpack which had my camera, a few lens and all my valuables. A back pack or any other luggage is not allowed. The lady police at the entrance of the Nizam Gate was very polite and friendly. She told me that if I would walk 10 steps there is a government locker where I could keep my valuables. I could take my handbag in. My handbag had all the cards and money but I was not sure I wanted to leave my camera behind. After all, as far as material goods go my camera and my lenses are my most cherished possessions.
Not knowing that I could not carry my small back pack I had already deposited my shoes at Nizam Gate lockers (there are many), so I was moving about bare foot now! I entered the gate which leads to the locker only to be told by a security guard that the locker was closed, there was construction going on. This gate leads to a few banks, a railway reservation center and the locker. I disregarded him completely. And lo and behold the locker was open, I had to cross a small construction site that was all. While walking back I gave that guard a piece of my mind for trying to mislead me and walked away.
I had sneaked in my camera in my hand bag but I could not lie to the police lady at Gate 2 when she asked me if I had a camera in my bag? She advised me to leave it at the same government locker but I was extremely reluctant. She told me people do it routinely. At this point I was simply willing to give up. I decided to go back and take my stuff and walk away.
But when I reached the locker again I asked the young lad (must have been half my age, very baby faced and innocent looking chap!) if I could leave my camera behind. He of course remembered me. I don't think he gets too many solo Indian women travelers. He picked up and showed me a few cameras already in his possession! That gave me some confidence and I gave him my camera for safekeeping too. He readily modified my receipt of left luggage and charged me 20 rupees (10 for the bag with lenses and 10 for the camera) for both.
I walked back to the Nizam Gate and entered the dargah this time without any trouble with my hand bag. They allow you to take your cell phone inside.
Inside Ajmer Sharif: As I was walking barefoot my feet were a mess. But there is a water tank inside where you can clean your feet before entering the main shrine and I happily cupped water in my hands and washed my feet. As I started walking inside a young official asked to cover my head! I know of many religious places where this is required but somehow I had nothing with me here. I told him I had nothing to cover my head with! He waved me off.
However I had no wish to offend anyone and I noticed shops inside the dargah too. I purchased a white handkerchief and covered my head. It cost me rupees 20. There were a lot of women on one side just outside the main entrance to the dargah offering prayers. I could see a lot of threads tied to the jali. You come back and untie them if your wish comes true. I asked a lady if women were permitted inside the actual shrine (at that point the queue outside was all male which made me hesitate) and she said yes I could go. The picture below is after you walk inside the gate but not of the main shrine.
Inside the Main Shrine: It is really crowded where the actual shrine is, the claustrophobic, shoulder to shoulder without any breathing space kind of crowded. I don't know how I ended near the officials who bless you. One of them invited me inside the chadder and blessed me. It would have been a beautiful feeling but for the money exchanged involved and demanded. I was still fine but when two other officials insisted on giving their blessings, I was a bit dazed because it involved money every time! I wish I had my wits around. Usually I am quite vehement in a Hindu temple but being in a dargah I was just not sure what was the correct behavior.
At one point the handkerchief that I was using to cover my head dropped and a guy caught it before it could fall to the ground and gave it back to me. In that crowd I don't know why this was a very intense experience. I tried to wade through the crowd and exit from the next gate but I panicked mid way and got out the same way I came in, the wrong way. I am sure the Gods will forgive me for it. I could just not take the throng of humanity anymore.
It was only after the visit I realized that the shrine of Hazrat Mu'inuddin Chishti is known for making a wish. They say if you make a wish here it is granted! I went simply to visit, I did not wish for anything. These days I have anyway left it to the Gods to decide what they want to grant me, after all I cannot better their decisions? It is also less complicated that way. But now that I know better maybe I will make a wish if I end up there another time!
Getting out was relatively straightforward! I got my shoes within no time and put them on while standing and doing some acrobatics because of the crowd. I headed back to the locker and got my camera and the bag without any trouble with everything intact.
As I said before that while walking out I bought some sweets and got to know that the Ajmer Railway Station was at a walking distance. From another shop I bought Rajasthani dresses (lehenga) for my niece and my daughter!
When I was talking to my sister immediately after the visit (while waiting for my train at Ajmer station) I told her never again as I don't like getting stuck in crowded places. But now that a few days have gone by, I think I can do it again knowing what it is going to be like. If I go again I would make sure that I only have my handbag and my cell phone and no other bag. I may not enter the main shrine again or who knows I may go knowing what is there in store and actually make a wish!
My father had been at the shrine in 1968 and when we compared notes he said it was not crowded then and there was no demand for money in those days!
PS. Only while searching on the net I discovered that Ajmer Sharif is so popular that Bollywood stars regularly visit it to make a wish!

It ends tonight: Fiance's chilling message to bride-to-be during 110mph cop chase
A FIANCE died in a motorway smash after telling his bride-to-be during a 110mph police chase: "It ends tonight."
Mechanic Ross Waters was killed as he tried to flee police on foot following a 30-mile car pursuit, an inquest heard.
Waters, 33 – whose partner Laura Swarbrick was pregnant with his baby – had already deliberately crashed into a car then mown down and tried to kill the driver's wife as she dashed into a police station for safety.
When officers tried to stop him he sped off along the M55 and M6 – ramming one patrol car into a field and driving at another traffic officer.
"He kept repeating: 'It ends tonight", and: 'Enough is enough'"Laura Swarbrick
During the chase he phoned Laura and as she begged him to stop he told her: "Enough is enough. Are you happy?"
He dumped his Ford Focus on the hard shoulder and tried to leg it over six lanes of motorway near Chorley, Lancs, but was hit by a car and killed.
An inquest jury in Preston heard pregnant Laura and Waters were due to marry, but in November last year Waters had a row with two of her pals. Carl and Tammy Noblet were on their way home when they spotted Waters tailgating them, and then received a text from Laura warning them Ross wanted to ram them off the road.
Mr Noblet told the hearing he asked his wife to dial 999 and drove to a police station, but as they arrived Waters rammed them from behind.
He said: "Once he had bumped my vehicle he had moved away but he put his foot down and drove into my wife."
Shocked police heard the impact and gave chase and the force helicopter was scrambled.
Laura said: "He kept repeating: 'It ends tonight", and: 'Enough is enough.'"
The inquest continues.

GetSetHome Cities
GetSetHome Promise
If someone asks for a Guest House / Shared Accommodation I will always recommend GetSetHome. I really liked the services provided by GetSetHome team.
I stayed at Beryl apartment in Kharadi Pune which was provided by GetSetHome. It was one of the best shared
accommodation services I have experienced so far. The apartment was spacious, clean and with all the necessary facilities like fridge, TV, Wi-fi, maid, closet, furniture,etc.
I landed in Pune just a few months back and was struggling to get a home away from home. But I had to suffer for around 4 months when I got to know about GetSetHome through one of the classified ads website. The place I stayed for almost 7-8 months was the most comfortable stay in shared accommodation.

Yes, but those beaches are a completely different beach profile than Deal. Deal has very deep water and much longer jetties. When they notch and fill it will be more like Sea Bright and Monmouth Beach, steep drop offs into deep water=shore pound. Those breaks were destroyed for 10 years plus, until Sandy.
And Belmar and Spring Lake did suck for several years post notching/filling. They are finally breaking good again (not good as pre notch/fill in my opinion), just in time for more sand to be pumped.

where are you getting your info that its "deeper off deal" then belmar?
I'll concede that the beaches there are more "cliff/bluff" like then farther south but that's more a result of coastal development then natural erosion.
post those pictures of deal "100 years ago" so we can compare.

I'm sure ACOE has the science, but If ACOE has NOT studied notching affects nor monitored existing notch groins then from my chair that's a legitimate "rebuttal" if they can not validate the project will have NO impact on surfing. Jerzy crew certainly within their right to challenge ACOE to support their actions as a stakeholder to seek further information.

this song gets me in the mood to go surf a spot that the acoe destroyed.

2013 will be a busy year for The Ocean, as the band will release a new album on April 26th (GSA), April 29th (Europe) and April 30th (USA) 2013 on Metal Blade Records, the follow-up to the "Heliocentric" (reviewed here) and "Anthropocentric" (reviewed here) albums.
To support the release, The Ocean will embark on a 3 week European tour with Cult of Luna in April and May (dates available below), including a performance at Roadburn Festival on April 20th.
The new album will contain 52 minutes of new music and will be mixed by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia) in January. The release will come in 2 versions: instrumental and with vocals. Comments The Ocean's Robin Staps:

"Yes, we are tired! And that's why we are now going to disappear from your radars for a while now. We will be spending another week in this last city on the planet and our side project Coilguns (Luc, Louis and Jona) are playing a final gig here tomorrow at Beat Nightclub in Perth.
"Robin just bought an old van and will be driving up the Australian West Coast during the next few weeks (if the van survives the trip) to write, film underwater footage for the visuals of our upcoming album and RELAX…
"When we get back, we will focus on finishing the 3xDVD which is due for a January 2013 release on Metal Blade and our new album, which is due for a late spring 2013 release.
"Stay tuned to Radio Ocean ladyboys, sweet dreams and don't let the bed bugs bite."

Asymmetry Fest 2012 Lineup Revealed
The Asymmetry Festival will be taking place from May 3rd - 5th in Poland, with full details available here. The following press release was issued about the fest:
"Asymmetry Festival is a unique event on the Central European scale. Successfully organized since four years, draws fans of the alternative music scene not only from Poland, but Germany, Czech, Slovakia, Hungary and many other neighbouring countries as well. The festival constantly develops its formula in continuous searches for new music genres – genres which defy labelling. The event will take place, for the first time, in a special location on the map of Wroclaw – the XIXc. building of the Browar Mieszczanski [Bourgeois Brewery], which since many years is an important cultural point of the city.
"Apart from the location, the assumptions and priorities in attitude towards the invited artists have changed as well. Among the 40 bands performing there, there is a numerous group of innovative projects, which are difficult to come across on any European festival stage. So side by side with the legendary Sleep, Killing Joke, Red Fang or Amenra, the guests of Asymmetry will also witness performances of all-star groups, created exclusively to in order to open the artistic floodgates of musical visions and the need to evolve.
"Let yourself be carried away by the fun. Come to Wroclaw and become witnesses of something huge."
The lineup and schedule for the festival is as follows: More...

Robin Staps offers the following update: "The Devin Townsend tour's been great so far, Devin is one of the nicest dudes I have ever met in metal and we've had some great times on the road with him and his gang. Not too many shows left now, this tour will finish up on October 29th in Vancouver, B.C. Since we were originally supposed to do another tour, our plane tickets are out of Boston, so we will drive our van back to the East Coast in early November and play some last minute shows on the way. We are also confirmed for the Cynic show in Toronto on November 10th!"
The Ocean has the following upcoming tour dates: More...
The Ocean Posts Summer Breeze Live Footage
The Ocean, which previously reported that all upcoming North American tour plans were scrapped, has now announced that the band will be supporting The Devin Townsend Project.
Guitarist and founding member Robin Staps commented: "Obviously this totally fucking rules. I've been a big fan of Hevy Devy's varicolored rumblings for many years, and we're glad that this situation that we were facing after our initially planned US tour was blown off has turned from dire into bodacious now!"
Fans who have yet to see The Ocean live can catch a preview online now. The band has released a live video from a performance at this year's Summer Breeze festival in Germany. Watch the band performing "The Origin of God" below.

Robin Staps, founder and guitarist for German progressive metal act The Ocean, has posted the following update online announcing that the band has been forced to pull out of its upcoming United States tour.
"Today is a shit day. Our upcoming U.S. tour just fell apart. We had been confirmed for quite a while for a direct support slot on a good 6-weeks U.S. tour in October and November, and yesterday it was decided that this tour is now being postponed to late November into December. We are not available at that time. Our flights to the U.S. have already been booked for weeks, and we've been left high and dry again… somehow we're just not lucky over there it seems!"
The Ocean Announces Shows With Textures
The Ocean will be hitting the road with Textures for a run of U.K. shows in November. Robin Staps from The Ocean commented on the shows: "We're looking forward to returning to UK shores with our old buddies from Textures for a number of headlining shows with full production and set time. This will be a good way to end our massive 4-months world tour in support of our Heliocentric and Anthropocentric double-album, which has lead us to North America and Europe this spring, and will continue through China and Russia this fall."
Bart Hennephof, Textures guitar player, had the following to say about the tour: "Yes, finally it's time to do some shows again! After this long period in the studio we really want to get back on the road! It has been a while since we were in the UK, so get ready for some brutal live shows! With our friends from The Ocean and Aliases each night will be a party! We are back, stronger than ever!"

Between The Buried and Me Treks to Tennessee
"The Hypersleep Dialogues Trek" tour tore its way through North America and part of Canada over the course of a month, moving counter-clockwise from New York and ends up in Asheville, North Carolina tonight. As the name shows, Between The Buried and Me was supporting their new album, "The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues," and they brought a solid lineup to Nashville with them – Job For A Cowboy and The Ocean. On their stop through Rocketown on Friday, May 13th, the bands played to a familiar crowd. Three years earlier, Between The Buried and Me had recorded their show here at Rocketown and released it as a live CD/DVD package – "Colors Live."
As the line snaked around the large venue, funneling in for about an hour, you could overhear discussions about the rarity of bands like Between the Buried and Me, Opeth, and others who "could do whatever they wanted, and I'd always love 'em." More...

The Night BTBAM Drowned In The Ocean
It is without a doubt that the hype and anticipation around the first ever headlining performance from Between the Buried and Me in Vancouver was huge. Having appeared in the city twice before as an opening act, playing only 2 songs in its first appearance and 3 songs the next, the BTBAM faithful were lined up two blocks deep outside the city's Rickshaw Theater hours before showtime, to catch a well deserved full length set. Although being the headline act the attention would soon be taken away from them by five guys from Germany, who would show Vancouver how live metal should be done. More...

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon origin and came from when a family lived in the county of Cheshire, in the parish of Baddely or Badley.
Badlelay Early Origins
Cheshire, where they held a family seat from ancient times, long before the Norman Conquest in 1066.
Badlelay Spelling Variations
Badlelay Spelling Variations
Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Badlelay family name include Baddely, Baddeley, Baddiley, Badley, Badly, Badely, Badgely, Badlely and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, the Canadas, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Badlelay surname or a spelling variation of the name include : John Badeley who settled in Virginia in 1623; Thomas Badley settled in Virginia in 1642; Tom Badgley settled in San Francisco, California, in 1852.

Petrology And Geochemistry Of The Nyamuragira Volcano, Zaire
From Open Energy Information
OpenEI Reference LibraryAdd to library
Journal Article: Petrology And Geochemistry Of The Nyamuragira Volcano, Zaire
AbstractNyamuragira volcano in the Western Rift of the East Africa Rift Valley is characterized by violent volcanic eruptions, the most recent of which occurred in 1967, 1971, 1976-1977, 1980 and 1981-1982. Its extrusives consist of a highly potassic suite of olivine basanite-tephritic phonolites among which phonolitic tephrite is the commonest. The petrographic features of the whole suite such as phenocryst and groundmass mineral assemblages and modal variations are rather simple. Major elements vary smoothly from olivine basanite to phonolitic interstitial glass without any abrupt change with increasing K2O. In addition, the typical incompatible trace elements, Ba, Ce, F, Nb, Rb and Sr increase continuously with the increase of K2O. These suggest that chemical variations were controlled mainly by the effective fractionation of olivine and clinopyroxene associated with plagioclase and titanomagnetite. Furthermore, in the K2O-incompatible trace-element diagrams, trend lines extrapolated to zero, converge on the coordinate axes of the vertical and horizontal lines. This suggests that these incompatible elements were preferentially moved toward the primitive basaltic magma during the partial melting of metasomatized upper-mantle peridotites. Furthermore, these elements are concentrated almost completely in residual liquids during fractional crystallization.

Stockport & South Manchester's Cider Circuit
Saturday 16 September to Tuesday 31 October 2017
What is the Cider Circuit?
To highlight the delights of real cider and perry, Stockport and South Manchester branch run an approximatly month long passport circuit with 35 pubs who sell real cider and perry. This takes place in September and running into October to coincide with production of the new year's cider.
How do I join in the Cider Circuit?
The (approximately) month long cider circuit has been established to help you participate in CAMRA's cider month of October. Rules vary every year, but roughly:
Pick up a card at a participating pub
Purchase a glass (half or pint) of REAL cider (or perry if available)
Visit a requisite number of pubs to claim your prize*
* This year 12 pubs wins you a large bottle of cider, 35 and you are entered for a draw for a 36pint box of cider. Full details and Cider Circuit card here.
Please be careful while drinking real cider and perry, as it is considerably stronger than commercial cider, often being in the range 6.5% to 8%!
Mild Magic 2017 - Friday April 14th to Sunday May 21st
Mild is an endangered species!
Until 2015 the Manchester region could boast the enviable position of having all four local family brewers producing at least one mild. That is until Robinson's decided to terminate production of mild. Thankfully the remaining three each produce a mild which is available in many of their houses. Also brewed (relatively) locally is Black Cat, a former Champion Beer of Britain. It is produced in Burnley by Moorhouse's, who have also agreed to be our Mild Magic sponsor for 2017.
Join us in April & May for this five week long passport trail
Mild Magic Manchester Meander
Saturday April 15
Why not join us on the opening evening (Saturday April 15th) and get your first card half filled? We will be using the Metro to undertake this treck, so a Metro runabout or other suitable ticket/pass would be a good idea.
The starting point is the Piccadilly Tap on the approach ramp to Piccadilly Rail Station (Map) at 7:30pm. We will then visit a pub or two as we make or way to Smithfield Market Tavern on Swan Street (Map) at 8:30pm. The meander will then continue around Manchester city centre calling at as many (or few) Mild Magic pubs as the group desires.
What does Mild Magic entail?
This CAMRA National award winning event is at heart a simple passport trail. With a 88 pubs partaking in the 2017 event, we don't ask you to do all of them. "But what do we have to do?" I hear you saying.
The Mild Challenge can be completed on any one of four levels. Simply drinking mild in 12 different pubs entitles you to either entry into Stockport's Beer and Cider Festival, or one free pint of mild there if you are already a CAMRA member.
To complete the next level up, Mild Magic Extra, you still need to visit 12 pubs, but to add a little challenge you must also visit 12 different areas as designated on the entry card. If Mild Magic extra is your aim, do plan your visits carefully to ensure 12 areas are visited. For achieving this, in addition to the above tickets you will also receive a Mild Magic t-shirt embroided with the Mild Magic logo.
Upping the achievement to complete Mild Magic Super requires 24 pubs to be visited in a total of 24 different areas, i.e. twice as difficult as Mild Magic Extra. This increases your number of entry tickets/pints to two and the shirt to is elevated to an embroidered polo shirt. This is the most popular target, achieved by around 50 people each year.
Now the stakes get higher - Mild Magic Ultra. This is a little more challenging. You must collect stickers from a total of 48 pubs but you only need to visit a total of 36 different areas - though of course you can visit more if you desire. For this you will receive an embroided Mild Magic sweat shirt and 4 entry tickets to the Festival (or 4 free pints of mild for CAMRA Members). We hope that this will encourage you to visit pubs new to yourself.
The ultimate challenge is Mild Magic Master. To achieve this you need a sticker from all of the participating pubs. For this you receive an embroidered hoodie and 6 Festival entry tickets (or 6 pints of mild for CAMRA Members).
Everyone who participates will also be included in a draw to be one of a lucky few who will be invited to visit Moorhouse's and see where Black Cat (and others) are brewed.
Having complete Mild Magic your card(s) need to be with the organisers to arrive before the 26th May, 2017 (only one entry per person). Garments will be distributed from 6pm onwards on Sunday 2nd July at the Crown Inn, Heaton Lane, Stockport (or as otherwise agreed with the organisers). All garments are graced by a stitched version of the Mild Magic insignia.

Stockport Beer & Cider Festival
A right fine bash to finish off May!
When is it held?
Annually at the end of May or beginning of June. The start is always the first Thursday after the Late May Bank Holiday.This year the dates are Thursday 1st June to Saturday 3rd June 2017. It is now the largest local CAMRA festival in Greater Manchester and one of the top five in the North of England.
What does the Festival offer?
First and foremost a wide selection of fine cask ales sourced from around Britain. We try to keep at least two examples of all endangered beer styles eg mild, stout and etcetera available for drinking at all times so there should be something to tickle your fancy.
Secondly (but this does not mean second class) an overwhelming range of ciders and perrys. This year we had in excess of 50 varieties available, ranging from pleasantly sweet to astonishingly dry. Who says Magners is the pinnacle of cider, and as for cidré, don't get us going. Cider makers are starting to spring up all over the British Isles, even "up eer int' North" so why not come along and try a Chesher or Lancashire example?
Is it just about drinking?
No! We can also sell you a souvenir t-shirt, a variety of books or you could even join CAMRA and get complimentary free beer on us. Why not have a go on our tombola, plenty of beery prizes to be won. Our charity also bring along a complementary selection of goods.
So it's all about buying?
No! All sessions have accompanying musical entertainment ranging, in the last few years, from a 25/30 piece ladies choir to heavy rock bands with blues, folk jazz and everything else in between. The music suit is situated downstair (at football pitch level) adjacent to dining area, it will be well signposted
If all this sounds too much why not just sit out on the terraces (we are in Stockport County's ground so there are plenty of seats to go around) and watch the world go by or the grass grow! If you are a plane spotter we are excellently placed to watch aircraft incoming to Manchester Airport.
Who runs this worthy event?
Primarily members of the Stockport and South Manchester Branch of CAMRA together with assistance from the High Peak, Trafford & Hulme and other nearby branches. New members of staff are always very welcome, for more information contact Pete Farrand at firstname.lastname@example.com.
