The Mac has the photos. Patience is on the Mac. So thanks to Sarah at Just Me and Lucy at Dimishing Lucy, I have decided to jump on the list bandwagon for today!

UK's always been famous for its musicians among whom are probably some of the most talented and influential artists of all time.
Unfortunately, many of them aren't with us anymore, but their musical legacy lives on.
So, let's take a moment and remember some of UK's most fascinating musicians who ever performed.
Freddie's definitely one of the most influential musicians who's ever performed, and he's widely known as the lead vocal of the legendary rock band Queen. There are not many singers out there who could compete with Freddie's charisma and great voice that was over a four-octave range. His song "Bohemian Rhapsody" is regarded as one of the most perfect songs ever recorded.
After all, without Freddie, we would never have Lady Gaga; at least not under that name.
The founding member of the legendary Beatles was famous for his political activism and pacifism. In 1980, Lennon was shot in front of his building by Mark David Chapman, who asked him for an autograph just a couple of hours earlier.In 2002, he was voted 8th on the BBC's list of 100 Greatest Brits, while Rolling Stone Magazine voted him the 5th greatest singer of all time.

Teen Who Sang at Inauguration Shot and Killed
2 comments:
I live in Australia where we have very strict gun laws and people get shot (or threatened)on a weekly basis over here -ReplyDelete
And that was just the other day in the main street of my hometown Brisbane.
You can only hope things change,but life is
(or seems) random and bad things will happen to good people unfortunately.
One of my friend's sisters got a bullet in the head when she was touring Thailand in a random shooting and he and his father had to fly over to turn her life-support off.
So I can well understand this lady's pain at these random acts of violence,but they are and will be hard to avoid in life unfortunately.
To prove my point this happened right after I posted this comment -ReplyDelete
I used to work right near here and even have visited friends who used to rent units in this complex,maybe even the one the woman was shot in ?
Unfortunately these things happen and there's not much that can be done about it no matter how hard we would like to think we can stop it.

This local is truly amazing; it's often referred to as a "little" Miss Ohio because of its excellence in production, competition, and assemblance to the state pageant. The other teens were all wonderful and very sweet! I enjoyed getting to know them. The titleholders from this local are fortunate to have many speaking opportunities and involvement in the community, which is my favorite part of being a title holder. Congratulations to Jenna DePizzo, Miss North Central Ohio, and Erin Curry, Miss Mansfield (my sister queen)! I'm sooooo excited to be the "hometown girl" this June.

Choosing the Right Criminal Lawyer
If you have been charged with a criminal offense, you are likely facing a complex legal battle to protect your finances, reputation, and freedom. During this difficult time, you need the help of a legal professional who is prepared to fight for you. One of the most important decisions you will make about your case is selecting the attorney who will represent you.
Before you begin contacting attorneys, we recommend making a list of the qualities you are looking for in your defense lawyer. This will help you narrow down your options until you can make a confident selection.
Qualities to Look For in a Criminal Lawyer
There are several qualities you will likely want in the lawyer who defends your rights. These may include:
- Extensive legal experience – Our country's legal system is complex; each case involves a large number of factors that can affect the ultimate outcome. The more experienced your attorney is, the more he or she will likely know about these factors and how to handle them.
- A proven track record – If your lawyer has been successful in handling criminal cases in the past, he or she may be more likely to successfully handle yours. When researching attorneys, be sure to check into each one's legal success rate.
- Solid credentials – An attorney's credentials can give you a good idea of his or her education and abilities. Credentials to look for include membership in professional organizations, specialized training, a high level of education, and special awards or acknowledgements.
- Prior experience handling cases like yours – Each legal offense has its own defenses, mitigating factors, and aggravating factors. A lawyer who has handled cases similar to yours in the past is more likely to be informed about each factor that may affect your case.
- Good referrals – Speaking with an attorney's colleagues and prior clients can help you form an understanding of the legal tactics he or she uses. When you are interviewing a lawyer who may represent you, be sure to ask for referrals – and follow up on them.
By doing your research and being assertive about your legal needs, you can find a legal representative who is fully qualified to help you. This can greatly increase your chances of achieving a favorable outcome to your case.

The experienced Houston criminal defense lawyers of Johnson, Johnson & Baer, P.C., are committed to providing dedicated legal defense. To discuss how we may be able to help you, contact us today by calling 713-523-0404.

Often, while cleaning their Chevrolet cars, the car owners consider the engine bay to be merely non essential and most they just overlook it. Another reason for this is the fact that the engine bay is present under the hood, out of sight and so the car owners do not pay much attention when cleaning their Chevrolet automobile. There are in fact many reasons due to which the engine bay should be kept clean.
Due to the location of certain parts and components which are present under the hood of the Chevrolet vehicles, and the functions they perform these parts actually get quite dirty. By keeping the engine bay clean, the important and sensitive parts under the hood remain free of excessive grease, dirt and oil. To be able to perform reliable and at their best, the critical components of the Chevrolet vehicle which are situated under the hood should essentially be kept clean and well maintained.
When cleaning the engine bay of a Chevrolet vehicle, the car owners are able to detect any problems in the engine which could cause serious issues if they had not been detected. If faults in the engine are left as they are for long, they could actually turn out to cause serious problems and washing the engine bay seems to be an opportunity to keep an eye on the engine. The resale value of a Chevrolet automobile also depends upon how clean its engine bay.
An engine bay that would be clean would be positively looked upon by potential buyers if the car was to be sold, while a dirty engine bay would give quite a bad impression. By looking an engine bay which is impressively clean, it would also be a positive aspect for the whole vehicle and would suggest how well the Chevrolet car is taken care of.
The ideal part about cleaning the engine bay is also evident due to the fact that there wouldn't be a need to clean it again for a considerable amount of time. Just in the same way that the vehicle's body remains neat and tidy when it is regularly washed, the engine bay under the hood would also remain really clean if properly maintained and taken care of.
When cleaning the engine bay of Chevrolet automobiles, the vehicle owners should also take notice of any sensitive components which are covered with heavy duty materials making those Parts waterproof. Thus, there would also be no harm to engine bay if it is washed with water. Apart from washing the engine bay with water, a proper engine bay cleaner or an all purpose cleaner could be added along to clean the Chevrolet car's engine bay. To apply the cleaning products over the engine bay, a microfiber sponge can be utilized without harming or damaging any parts and components at the engine bay area.
Thus, cleaning the engine bay area of Chevrolet automobiles is as important as regularly washing the vehicle itself. In fact a Chevrolet cannot actually be considered clean until and unless the engine bay is clean too.

Ruth Adeline McKibbin
Ruth Adeline (Rangen) McKibbin, 89, passed away on January 26, 2018 in Phoenix AZ.
Ruth, or Adeline as she was known to family and friends, was born on August 23, 1928 at home on the family farm in North Viking Township, North Dakota and was the eighth of nine children born to Rasmus and Alma Rangen. She graduated in 1945 as the Valedictorian of Maddock High School and shortly after went to work for the only bank in Maddock ND.
Addie married Maurice Mckibbin on June 5, 1949 and had six boys. She lived with her husband and family on the farm in Maddock, ND until 1963 when they moved to Moorhead, Minnesota where she again went to work for a bank. Addie then worked for the Neuropsychiatric Institute in Fargo, ND until her retirement in 1987. Maurice and Adeline then moved to Silver Bay, Minnesota where they enjoyed the beautiful views of Lake Superior. The winters were long and Maurice and Addie bought a second home in Phoenix and traveled back and forth each year. After selling the Silver Bay home, they moved back to Maddock in 2000 and continued to live in Maddock and Phoenix until Maurice's death on January 4, 2013.
Throughout her life, Addie enjoyed road trips and visited every state in the U.S. except Vermont. She and Maurice traveled the Alaskan Highway to the Arctic Circle and even celebrated their 50th anniversary in the 50th state, Hawaii. Addie was an adventurer and a mediator. If you needed something from Maurice, it was best to run it by Addie first to get the best results. Addie created a great and loving environment in which to raise her family and she will be truly missed.
Adeline was preceded in death by her husband Maurice, sons Brian and Mark and grandson Chad. She is survived by her sisters Margaret Backstrom of Fergus Falls, MN, Helen Boney of Roswell, GA, and Mary Ann Swanson of Phoenix, AZ. Her children James, Dwight, Craig (Stephanie) and Kevin are now mourning the loss of a wonderful mother. Addie is also survived by grandchildren Leah (Jason,) Michael (Brandi,) Andrew, Mary (Mark,) and Laura (Kevin) and great-grandchildren Chloe, Abby, Meredith, Maxwell, Chase, Logan, Stirling, Rose, Mackenzie, Madeleine, and Vivienne.
We all loved Adeline very much.
Interment will be on July 21, 2018 at noon following a brief service at the Immanuel Lutheran Church Cemetery, Hwy 30, Maddock, North Dakota.

Sharon picked me up from the train station because Colleen had her hands full with dinner and her three year old twin girls. We got to Colleen's house in the Tuscany hills around 8:30. I was quickly drug away from the table to be shown the pile of toys owned by the two little girls. Sophia and Faye took turns showing me things and telling me the names in either English or Italian. Sophia usually preferred to speak in Italian while Faye usually chose English. They sure did keep my brain on its toes. After the girls were put to bed we sat down and had a wonderful dinner together that included some delish lentils that Colleen had prepared with a Greek recipe that I'm assuming she learned from her Greek husband Vass. Either way, it was yummy. We were also lucky enough to be the taste testers for some of the wines Colleen was thinking of sending to her clients in Japan. They were in need of some great Italian wines, but needed them to have a certain price point. Colleen was in charge of the price point and we were all in charge of quality control. The next morning I was up bright and early ready to start picking some olives. I honestly had not a clue what this would entail. I was assuming it would be a lot like picking cherries. It wasn't really.
First we drug very large nets up from one of their many olive groves that had been finished the day before. We then stretched the nets out and made sure the ground around the trees we would be racking was covered. Then Vass said, "Okay Rachel, you take a rake (which reminds me of the racks little kids use to build sandcastles) and you take the branch and then you rake the branch." I said, "That's it?" He smiled and said yes. It wasn't hard work, just long and….well just time consuming. Some trees were taller and required someone to climb up into the tree, others were thicker and reminding me of trying to brush tangles out of a little girls hair, others were just so simple that it only took five minutes to finish the tree. After finishing a row of trees we were start from one end of the net and corral all the olives to one said, then pick out big pieces of twigs and leaves, then we'd corral them into baskets. Then we'd move the nets and start on another portion. We did this all morning until lunch, had a beautiful two hour lunch with grilled meats and lots and lots of side dishes for me, of course wonderful wines (Colleen is a wine consultant so can't go wrong drinking wine at her house). After lunch it was back out to the field for a few hours and then inside to help make dinner. Another lovely meal with Colleen, Vass, Sharon, and the girls (well actually the girls ate first and then we all watched the Little Mermaid while we ate). The next day I was supposed to go into the olive oil making factory, called a Frantoio, but slept in a little late and decided to go for a run through the Tuscan hillsides instead…however it was raining, a lot, so I opened up the shades and ran on the treadmill instead. We spent most of the morning indoors since it was pouring down rain, but in the afternoon I ventured out with Sharon to look at vineyard properties and to help translate. That night Vass took me up to see the Frantoio and to explain the process to me. This whole time I pictured Vass doing all the pressing of olives by hand in some little shop in the town….nope, the Frantoio looked a lot like a Cantina. Even the machinery and process looked and functioned a lot like the process to make wine. There was a machine to sepearte the foliage, a cleaning process, a machine to separate the insides of the olives from the pits and the skins (and a pump the sucked it all outside to a large trash can), a machine that pressed the olive paste (pasta) to extract the oil, and then another extraction after the first. I learned that depending on what temperature you keep the olive pasta and olive oil during this process is what decides if it's just olive oil or extra virgin olive oil, etc. I also learned that just because Vass is Greek doesn't mean he learned to harvest olives and make olive oil from his family…he laughed and told me he learned when they bought the house that included five acres of olive groves. The next morning I had planned on leaving Colleen's to go back to Pisa to see the tower and then to Rome to see start my adventures there with my friend Andrew. Sharon had an appointment in Lucca and offered to let me see Lucca while she had her meeting and then would take me to see the tower and then to the train station. Of course I couldn't turn that down, so I packed up and went with her to Lucca.
I'd like to stop my story here for just a moment to say how much I enjoyed my time with Colleen and her family. Colleen is truly a superwoman. She is a very successful business woman, a mom of twin three-year-olds, and a wife (not just any wife, but a Greek/Italian wife who cooks amazingly and loves and cares for her family every moment they need her). I very much appreciated her being so open and welcome to having me stay in her home. Thanks Colleen!!!

Davis Gaines is the archetypal triple threat of the stage. That is, he sings, he dances, and he acts. Moreover, he's quite accomplished in all three disciplines. Having performed as the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical phenomenon, Phantom of the Opera, more than 2,000 times on Broadway, in Southern California and in San Francisco, Gaines' extraordinary performing skills were recognized with a Best Actor Award from the Bay Area Critics' Association for his performance as the masked man. No stranger to Long Beach, Gaines performed in Musical Theatre West's 2010 production of 1776, and was recently wowing MTW audiences as Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha. Now he's cast as King Arthur in MTW's upcoming production of Monty Pythons' Spamalot. We recently caught up with Davis Gaines by telephone to ask him a few questions.
What got you into the performing arts?
I can't remember wanting to do anything else in my life. I did children's theater in my hometown of Orlando, Florida and my junior high school drama teacher, (the late) Ann Derflinger, was a great inspiration and supporter of mine.
What keeps you in the performing arts?
Sometimes I don't know. I have asked myself, Why do I put myself through this? But each job teaches me something and I can't imagine doing anything else. I love doing this. Everyone should be so happy in their careers.
What's your proudest moment as a performer?
Achieving 2,000 performances, over a six-year period, in Phantom of the Opera. It happened at the Pantages Theatre, and Betty White came onstage with a proclamation affirming the accomplishment.
What is your greatest challenge as a performer?
Finding the truth and sense of humor in each character I play. Discovering the truth in both the words and character.
What's your advice to aspiring performers?
It's a difficult business. But study and get experience in all areas of theater. The more you perform in front of people the more you'll learn. Believe that no one has to offer what you do. Go for it, and you can't be half-way about it. At some point you'll know if it's your calling. But you must be prepared to perform.
What would you like audiences to know about Spamalot?
It's one of the funniest musicals ever written – a whacky, crazy journey. We have the Broadway sets and costumes, as well as a great comedic cast. I just don't know how we'll get through it without cracking up.

Pre-Reread Thoughts
The year is 1998. A story about a rich teenaged girl on the Titanic falling for an artist returning to America from a year abroad in Paris grabs my heart.
No, I'm NOT talking about James Cameron's blockbuster movie Titanic, although the same could be said for the movie. I'm talking about Diane Hoh's novel, Titanic: The Long Night. Cheap novel riding the coattails of a blockbuster film? Absolutely it is. Compelling story? I sure thought so.
Elizabeth Farr, a wealthy young socialite, is sailing home with her parents on the maiden voyage of the Titanic when she sees a third class passenger wandering around the first class area looking lost, so she decides to help him by directing him back to third class quarters. She feels proud of herself for being helpful and independent, especially since her parents want to marry her off to some boring rich guy when all Elizabeth wants to do is go to Vassar.
Later that night Elizabeth is embarrassed to see the third class passenger at her dinner table and finds out he's really Max Whittaker, son of one of her father's friends. She's bratty towards him but they strike up a friendship that blossoms into a flirtation threatened by a large iceberg with no regards for young love. The book also follows two Irish brothers and their friend Katie in third class, but their story line never appealed to me as much as Elizabeth and Max's romance, which was almost identical to Jack and Rose's story.
I absolutely LOVED this story, especially since I was the only kid in my grade who hadn't been allowed to see Titanic because of the sex and nudity, and I was really bitter about missing out on the greatest pop culture phenomenon in the 6th grade. I read this book repeatedly while listening to the Titanic soundtrack (yes I bought the soundtrack without seeing the movie*), crying at the end when characters are lost to the icy sea. Probably one of my most Reread books.
*The fact I was stunned that the soundtrack was orchestral music and not a compilation of Disney-style show tunes is a testament to my parents' judgment that I wasn't mature enough to see Titanic.
Childhood Rating: 5 out of 5 icebergs
Post-Reread Thoughts
It doesn't matter that this is a cheap knockoff of Titanic for preteens; I will ALWAYS love this book. Despite the cheesy nature of the book, the writing is well done and suspenseful, and even though I know what's going to happen at the end my heart still palpitates when the survivors search for their loved ones on the Carpathia. I still love the hostile flirtation between Elizabeth and Max, who admire each other but don't want to admit their feelings because they assume they should dislike each other. Max forsakes his father's money for authenticity as an artist and Elizabeth forsakes her parents' plans for her marriage because she wants to get an education and be a journalist. When they meet, they first think the other is another spoiled rich kid like all the spoiled rich kids they grew up with but gradually realize they're more alike than they originally thought.
The growth of their relationship is earnest and cute. They're a couple you root for.
As an adult, I have a greater appreciation for the Irish third class story since I'm no longer in a hormonal Leomania rage (at least that's what I keep telling myself). Katie Hanrahan is traveling with the Kelleher brothers: mature and mellow Brian, and lighthearted and lively Paddy. Katie is going to move in with an aunt and uncle in Brooklyn until she makes her fortune as a singer on Broadway, Brian plans to work on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, and Paddy aspires to be a writer. Brian, the eldest, feels responsible for the younger two and Katie looks up to him for his strong spirit. She's always thought of Paddy as flighty, but amusing. Katie and her roommate Eileen, who's escorting two orphans to America, gush over the grandeur of the ship, where even the third class quarters are finer than anything they've seen before. The brothers' room is on the opposite end of the ship, but the women and men congregate in the public third class areas where Katie begins to see a different side to Paddy, who pines for Katie while assuming she loves Brian.
The stage is set for emotional drama and the tugging of heartstrings, and let me tell you your heartstrings will get quite a workout. I loved how Hoh described the different areas on the Titanic and the social norms that ruled the Edwardian era. She obviously researched how passengers on the Titanic spent their days in the spaces allotted to them. She includes key components of the ship's doomed voyage, including its near crash with the New York during the departure from Southampton. Attention to historical detail makes the experience of reading historical fiction more immersive and intriguing.
The characters each have a unique voice and personality that endears them to you. You don't want to see any of them come to harm, even Elizabeth's society-obsessed parents. Of course, it's a book about the Titanic so there are a few casualties. This book has the perfect combination of family drama, romance, suspense, history, and tragedy. If you were a Titanic superfan in the 90s, you'll be a superfan of this book too.

Hide Forgot
Description of problem:
Printing to a Lexmark inkjet printer under Fedora Core 6, I experience recurring
memory leaks with foomatic-rip.
A typical example: I am printing a PDF document in Firefox. The print job
terminates part way through.foomatic-rip rapidly starts eating up all available
memory. If I don't intervene in time, this is what I see in top after several
2692 lp 18 0 1373m 818m 64 D 5.1 81.1 0:28.86 foomatic-rip
(This on a machine with 1GB RAM, 1GB swap.) If I kill gs or foomatic-rip in
time, my system returns to normal, otherwise it becomes completely unresponsive
and requires a hard reset.
I have seen this behavior printing from the above-mentioned Firefox as well as
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
foomatic-3.0.2-39.1.fc6. The printer is model Lexmark Z51 attached via USB. CUPS
is configured to use the lx5000 driver.
How reproducible:
Everytime I print from Firefox.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. print a file from Firefox
2. open "top" in a terminal window
3. observe foomatic-rip engorge itself on all available memory
Actual results:
If not caught in time, the system chokes.
Additional information:
I also experienced this problem under FC5.
Can you explain 'The print job terminates part way through' in more detail? Is
the job cancelled by the user, or does it fail for some reason, and is there any
log message about it, etc?
The print job simply fails part way through, why I don't know.
Not a thing in /var/log/messages.
I'd like you to try to reproduce the problem if possible, and to capture the
debug logging information while doing so. Here's how (all commands as root):
Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and change the 'LogLevel' line to read:
LogLevel debug2
Edit /etc/foomatic/filter.conf and add this line at the end:
debug: 1
Disable SELinux so that the foomatic log can be written:
/usr/sbin/setenforce 0
Stop CUPS:
/sbin/service cups stop
Clear out the error log file:
Start CUPS:
/sbin/service cups start
Now try to provoke the problem again, and when the job has crashed and
(optionally) foomatic-rip has eaten all the memory, I'd like to see:
1. The /var/log/cups/error_log file (you might need to compress it like 'bzip2
-c /var/log/cups/error_log >/tmp/error_log.bz2' first)
2. The /tmp/foomatic-rip.log file
3. The /tmp/foomatic-rip.ps file

<foomatic-rip.ps > /dev/null
seems to get stuck in an endless write loop, which would indicate a problem
either in the PostScript or in the lx5000 driver.
PostScript *looks* fine, so cloning this for ghostscript.
Leaving this original bug report for 'why does foomatic-rip buffer it all?'.
Created attachment 144813 [details]
Lexmark Z51 ppd
requested by someone else
Reported upstream via email.
The "lx5000" GhostScript driver seems to be really broken, even if foomatic-rip
would behave correctly, you cannot expect a correct printout. Try the "pbm2l7k"
driver. Are you able to print with that one? In this case I will change the
recommended driver for the Z51 on linuxprinting.org and mark the "lx5000" driver
as obsolete.
As long as the printer/driver does not use JCL/PCL (which is the case here)
foomatic-rip is not supposed to analyse and buffer the output of GhostScript, it
should pass it directly on to standard output. So the behavior is strange. I
will look into it.
Seems to be a Perl problem, as
cat foomatic-rip.ps | perl -e '$| = 1; pipe R, W; $pid = fork(); if ($pid)
{while (<R>) {print $_}} else {open (STDOUT, ">&W"); system "gs -dBATCH
-dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=lx5000 -r600x600
-sOutputFile=/dev/fd/3 /dev/fd/0 3>&1 1>&2"}' > x
eats up all the memory, too. And this command is a simple demonstration how
foomatic-rip works. We fork into two processes where one runs GhostScript and
another does some post-processing (in this simple example the second process
passes the data only to standard output, without actual processing). The data is
transported from the first to the second process by a pipe.
Or is there something wrong in the use of this method?
(In reply to comment #10)
> Try the "pbm2l7k" driver.
It doesn't seem to work.
I configured the Z51 to use this driver, but when I print, absolutely nothing
happens. The print job sits in the Gnome printer queue display marked
"Stopped?". I deleted the cups error.log and tried to print again, but nothing
was written to it.
If there is anything else you want me to try, let me know.
Colin: try enabling the queue with the 'cupsenable' command, or by using the
check-box shown in system-config-printer for 'Enabled'. Perhaps the queue is
disabled due to the previous driver failing.
Till: here is a version using sysread and syswrite that doesn't seem to grow in
memory size.
cat foomatic-rip.ps | perl -e '$| = 1; pipe R, W; $pid = fork(); if ($pid){while
(sysread(R,$buf,1024)) {syswrite(STDOUT, $buf, length($buf))}} else {open
(STDOUT, ">&W"); system "gs -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
-sDEVICE=lx5000 -r600x600 -sOutputFile=/dev/fd/3 /dev/fd/0 3>&1 1>&2"}' > x
Thank you very much, I will change foomatic-rip appropriately.

For whatever reason, the pbm2l7k just doesn't work here. Jobs get queued but
nothing happens. For the time being I am using the lx5000, albeit very gingerly.
Colin: would you mind filing a separate bug about the pbm2l7k driver? Choose
'ghostscript' as the component. Thanks.
Can you replace your /usr/bin/foomatic-rip file by this one:
and then try again to print? Does this solve the problem?
Applied the fix upstream:
But please test my file posted earlier to see whether this really solves the
I am currently running foomatic-3.0.2-47.2.fc7 and this bug no longer occurs.
Great, glad the update fixed it. Thanks for re-testing!

A plaque on the bridge commemorates architect John Archer, and stonemasons Daniel Herbert and James Colbeck who worked on the construction of the bridge.
The sandstone bridge was constructed by convict labour, and is the third oldest bridge still in use in Australia. Commissioned by Lieutenant-Governor Arthur and completed in 1836, the bridge was designed by architect John Lee Archer, with the convict work team including two stonemasons, James Colbeck and Daniel Herbert, the latter being credited with the intricate carvings along both sides of the bridge. The bridge was registered on the Register of the National Estate in 1978.

Metro issues tickets with old & new names this Puja
Metro Railway authorities have reintroduced paper tickets for the 25.13-km stretch with both old and new names printed on these tickets.kolkata Updated: Oct 18, 2012 15:59 IST
Metro Railway authorities have reintroduced paper tickets for the 25.13-km stretch with both old and new names printed on these tickets. The result: both these old paper tickets and new ones with new names printed on them would be sold through the counters.
Metro travellers are likely to have a harrowing time this Puja. Paper tickets will be issued for 7 days starting Saturday.
"Two different sets of paper tickets have already reached all the stations. While the old names of the stations are printed on one set of the tickets the other sets have the new names. It will definitely create huge confusion among passengers and they may get down at the wrong station," said a senior Metro official.
According to the circular issued by the Metro Rail headquarters in Kolkata such paper tickets will be issued for seven days starting Saturday. A senior station superintendent revealed that the headquarters has instructed them, to clear the stock of old sets of paper tickets first before switching to the fresh printed ones.
"Tickets reading Kudghat instead of Netaji or Bansdroni instead of Masterda Surya Sen has created a lot of confusion last year. Several passengers - a large chunk of them being from the district - could not match the name of the station printed on the platform and on the ticket and alighted at the wrong station," said a station manager.
Spokesperson Protyush Ghosh, however, said that they are still awaiting the final nod from the Metro GM before taking the final call. "Meanwhile we have kept our contingency plans open. We are ready to face any situation," said Ghosh.
Metro officials said, when they first installed the new ticketing system on July 8 last year, there were 7 lakh tokens and 4 lakh smart cards into the system. This year, during stock taking only 70,000 tokens were left. The smart card stock was also running low. "In the initial days, many people took away tokens as souvenirs. This trend gradually came down but some are still lost during technical snags when gates are left open. During the Puja, when we expect to get many new users, there may be a tendency to take away the tokens as souvenirs. We are not going to take risks," an official said.
