During the inter-war period many of Britain's bus and motor coach operators issued guides to their growing network of routes and destinations. As was the case with many "official" handbooks and guides many of these were produced on their behalf by the Cheltenham based publisher E. J. Burrow & Co. Ltd. who complied the text and images, often including map of the routes, and adverts for local concerns who may benefit from the trade of prospective passengers and customers.

 

This "official descriptive guide to the omnibus services through the Garden of England, West Kent and East Sussex" was issued by the Maidstone & District Motor Services Ltd., a company whose origins dated back to 1908 when the motor bus was truly in its infancy. In fact, the enterprise was so much in the early days that the original concern failed and was purchased and re-registered as M&D in 1911. The burgeoning transport empire, the British Electric Traction, took a holding in M&D in 1913 whilst rivals Tilling also acquired a holding in 1921 helping to give the concern capital to grow at a time when motor buses and coaches were technologically rapidly developing, allowing a growth in the routes and destinations operated by such companies. As can be seen M&D expanded across the west of Kent and down into East Sussex covering countryside and seaside along with 'express coach services' to and from London.

 

Carefully not dated, so as to preclude appearing 'out of date', the guide is likely to be c.1930 as; the London services are still serving Lupus St bus station in Pimlico and these would transfer to the new Victoria Coach Station in 1932 but the company's head office is given as Knightrider House that opened in 1928.

Before you read the elaborate descriptions below, let me tell you why this is a *true* angel: He/She has no bellybutton!!! That is the way -- and the only way -- you can tell if he/she is real or not!!

 

Angels, Cherubim, Seraphim, and Archangels

 

by Dr. Hugh Ross, M.Sc., Ph.D. (from his book "Beyond The Cosmos")

Angels (Hebrew word malak; Greek word angelos): intelligent beings existing beyond the space and time dimensions of the universe, subject to spiritual laws but not

necessarily to natural laws. One third, the fallen angels or demons, are in rebellion against God. The remaining two-thirds bear responsibility for service to God and can, at His biding,

make contact with humans in the space and time dimensions of the universe.

 

Spirit beings (Humans), manifest a capacity that not even the most highly intelligent soulish animals possess, the ability to discern dimensions beyond the ones we physically experience.

We may even interact and dialogue, knowingly or not, with spiritual beings from beyond our physically experienced dimensions. According to the Bible, human beings may sometimes be allowed to see, hear, interact and dialogue with angels, mistaking them for

humans. In the book of Hebrews we are exhorted, "Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it." (Hebrews 13:2, NIV.).

 

1 Sometimes people know, or come to recognize, angels as messengers from the spiritual,

or extra-dimensional realm, as we see in accounts of Abraham's, Lot's, and Daniels

interactions with angels.2 Because we are spiritual beings, we humans can pray. Through

prayer we can cross the space-time manifold of the cosmos and converse with God

in His extra-dimensional realm. Because prayer is extra-dimensional in its reach, it must be

considered the most powerful capacity God has made available to us in our current dimensional context. Prayer is so powerful, it comes with special cautions and restrictions

on its use.

ANGELS

3 The angels we see in paintings and sculptures typically have feminine or childlike features, golden halos, and wings ranging from tiny to grandiose. Many artistic portrayals more

closely resemble the traditional image of Cupid than they do the biblical description of angels. The Bible tells us that they are mighty4 and holy.5 It says they are mightier than we humans are.

 

6 They are so swift as to defy the laws of physics.7 They are subject neither to decay nor to death. They can be visible or invisible to humans.8 In most biblically recorded cases of their

appearance on Earth, the people who saw and heard them responded with terror. The following account by Daniel illustrates an angel's impact:

 

"As I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris, I look up and there before me

was a man dressed in linen, with a belt of the finest gold around his waist. His body was

like chrysolite, his face like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like

the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude. I, Daniel, was

the only one who saw the vision; the men with me did not see it, but such terror

overwhelmed them that they fled and hid themselves. So I was left alone, gazing at this

great vision; I had no strength left, my face turned deathly pale and I was helpless."(Daniel

10:4-8, NIV.)

 

Daniel then explains that when the angel started speaking, he (Daniel) passed out, and the angel had to help him to his feet. The angel's purpose in coming to Daniel was to give him

a message about the future, to let him know what is written in "the Book of Truth," as the angel called it. The angel also reported his intense conflict with a fallen angel, specifically with the demon who held some measure of authority over Persia. This demon had the power to detain the angel for twenty-one days.

  

From these biblical accounts and others, we learn that angels' capacities reflect their existence in at least some of God's dimensions outside the four of the universe. Compared

to God, however, angels are limited. The Bible indicates that God alone is omnipotent,

omniscient, and omnipresent. Angels are not.9 Though they have access to more dimensions than we humans do, they occupy a limited dimensionality, as we do. Though they are able to exercise extraordinary power,10 they are created beings, as we are, incapable of creating any other beings.11 Unlike humans, they do not marry or procreate,12 though some Bible scholars interpret a few passages of Scripture as suggesting that fallen angels in one way or

another, and for a limited time, demonstrated the capacity to produce "mutant" offspring through sexual relations with human women.

 

Cherubim, Seraphim, and Archangels

13 God apparently endowed certain angelic beings with power and authority above others. Though many "ranks" of angels may exist,14 the Bible mentions but three. The highest order

appears to be the cherubim. Cherubim (Hebrew word kerub, singular, -im, plural; Greek word cheroubim): a special order of angelic beings with a unique role in directing and

expressing worship toward God. Satan, identified as the most powerful and exalted of all the angels - before his rebellion - was a cherub.15 No beings in all Scripture, other than God Himself, give observers a more difficult descriptive task. Depictions by the prophet Ezekiel16 and the apostle John17 represent arduous attempts to portray extra-dimensional features that far surpass what we humans can comprehend or imagine and far surpass the capacities and attributes shared by the lower ranks of angels. The cherubim alone are entrusted with certain tasks in protecting God's glory and holiness and in proclaiming His grace. What all these tasks entail we cannot yet begin to

imagine. Seraphim is a Hebrew term for "burning ones."18 This title probably refers neither to fire as we know it nor to the consuming judgment. Rather, it expresses the passionate devotion of a particular order of angelic beings to praise and proclaim all creation. God's holiness and majesty. Though these angels, too, are awesome to behold, they pose at least a little less difficulty for humans to describe than do the cherubim.19 Archangels (Greek word archangelos): angels of exalted rank and power, sent by God to carry out special assignments. It is possible that God created more than one archangel.20 However, only

one, Michael, is mentioned by name in the Bible.21 His specific role is perhaps most comparable to that of a military leader. He is the commander who leads the angelic host against Satan's demonic forces. Michael's ultimate victory over Satan 22 suggests that his powers and abilities may at least approximate Satan's.

DISCLAIMER: This is a photoshop manipulated image used for descriptive purposes only, it is to scale though! If this was a real Ball of Light it would be very naughty!

 

I get asked many questions about the Ball of Light, but one of the questions I love the most is "how do you find them". I have an example from the weekend that should inspire.

 

When I was walking up the Wilpena Pound I look out for locations that I think might attract the Ball of Light when the sun retires for the night. I then try and remember where the spot was, mark on the ground or the like. I was thinking that a tramping GPS unit would be good. I then imagine in my minds eye how it would look there ( i have created an image above that is what my minds eye sees) then come back later when it is dark and wait, and wait.

 

When I return to the location, sometimes the Ball of Light just appears. This is often at simple locations. But sometimes I have to wait. Either for the moon light to be just right, or the clouds to move to the right location. Sometimes the waiting pays off, sometimes it does not.

 

The location you see here was particularly unusual though. Some of the locations I find are really only suitable for a very brave Ball of Light, some it doesnt really matter. I find that when the location is a bit dodgy (or downright deadly in this case) I end up waiting for ages, wondering if the Ball of Light is brave (or stupid) enough.

 

What I often have in mind is this, "if my wife was here, would she think the Ball of Light was just being dumb by turning up there", in this case after about half an hour of waiting I decided that she would indeed think I was a bit silly for waiting any longer.

 

But damn it would have made for a killer Ball of Light image! I am planning on going back with her some day, maybe then she can make that decision for herself!

 

I think I made the right decision.

this might be a little gross and descriptive and very long so read at your own will : )

  

bottom line ingrown toe-nails are a bitch! i woke up the other morning and my toe was killinggg me. now, my toe nails naturally sorta just grow down off to the side, so they look like they're ingrown all the time but they're really not. but this time it hurt really bad, so i figured it was an actual ingrown toenail.

so me and my mom go to the doctor and she's like no problem we can take care of it. next thing i know i get this huge sharp long ass needle shoved into my toe, TWICE! hurt like a mother. (you can even see blood dripping down in the pic haha ewww)

so after the shots my toe got as big as a balloon! it was crazy, not to mention disgusting.

i didn't watch the actual procedure and i couldn't feel t but i could definitely HEAR it, and that was enough for me.

 

on a good note though, the doctor wrote me a note so i'm allowed to wear flip flops all this week.

WHOO HOO! :D

 

OH!~ i almost forgot.

so at school today people asked what happened and i didn't really wanna be like oh i had an ingrown toe nail to everyone and totally gross 'em out but i told melissa, katelyn, nichole, and stevie (my best friends i'm always with) cause idc what they think haha, and melissa goes "you should just tell everyone you got bit by a duck, i bet they'd believe you"

so last hour kristin asked me what happened

 

me : oh, i got bit by a duck

*stevie eyeballs me, and i eyeball her to tell her to play along*

kristin: omg really?!

stevie : yeah, it was really disgusting

kristin : where were you?

me : at a lake, duh. that's where ducks are

stevie : yeah she was trying to feed it

me : yep, i was just tryin to feed the duck and it just decided to chomp down on the wrong thing *making chomping motions*

 

then the whole class joins in and everyone's like omgg melanie you got bit by a duck?!? an by now me and stevie are about tofall out of our seats from laughing because everyone believes us and we're just nodding our heads still going with it.

Extract from A Handbook and Guide to Preston by William Pollard 1882:

 

Turning out of Fishergate, on the north side into Lune Street, the visitor will notice, near the bottom of that street, the Corn Exchange buildings. The Corn Exchange was completed and opened in 1824, and, with the several rooms connected with it, has for many years past been utilised for public meetings and entertainments. The building has just been entirely reconstructed internally the external walls only remaining, whilst the height has been very considerably increased, and westward the structure has been extended by the erection of an entirely new block, containing a range of several apartments in connexion with the general purposes to which it is in future to be applied. The structure is now 230 feet in length and 95 feet in width, and covers a ground area of about 22,000 superficial feet. The principal entrance to the interior of the building is on the east side, leading into a vestibule, 12 feet in width, with pay offices on each side. Through the vestibule a spacious entrance hall, 34 feet by 28 feet, is reached, having on each side several retiring rooms and lavatories. From this entrance hall the large hall on the ground floor is approached. It is 147 feet in length, by 63 feet in width, having a promenade on the north and south sides, 16 feet in width each, which can be either added to or partitioned off from the main body of the hall, at any time, by means of revolving shutters. The full width of the hall and promenades will thus be 95 feet. When used for meetings, concerts, or other similar purposes, it is estimated to seat an audience of 1,500 persons, for whom seven exits are provided. At the west end of the hall is an orchestra, 44 feet in width, by 36 feet in depth, designed with special regard to orchestral performances, and having accommodation for 300 performers. At the rear of the orchestra is a spacious organ chamber, for which a powerful organ has been erected by Mr. Wilkinson, of Kendal, at the cost of 3,000 pounds. The organ is the munificient gift of Mr. John Dewhurst, coal merchant, of Preston. The front of the organ chamber is an important feature in the work, having ornamental pilasters, with elaborate capitals and spandrils, and enriched plaster work, modelled from special designs of the architect. In the new portion of the building, at the west end, behind the orchestra, there are ladies' and gentlemen's retiring and waiting rooms, on the ground and first floors, with kitchens, heating apparatus, and storage rooms in the basement. The entrance for the band and principals, on musical occasions, is from the waiting rooms on the ground floor; whilst the entrance for the chorus is on each side of the organ chamber, from the waiting room on the first floor. Above the promenades, galleries are carried along the north and south sides, and also at the east end opposite the orchestra, the last named gallery being circular on plan. Behind this gallery there is a balcony or promenade, eight feet in width. The galleries and balcony are estimated to hold an audience of 1,500 persons, and have four separate entrances and exits. The front of the gallery has a. handsome brass railing, with wrought iron scroll work. The iron columns are 14 feet apart, with ornamental enriched capitals, from which spring circular arches. Above these runs an enriched pilaster frieze and cornice, surmounted by a cove to the under side of the ceiling, the latter being perforated by a series of circular lights. The hall is heated by hot water pipes, and lighted by three sun burners in the ceiling, each having a large extracting shaft, for carrying off the vitiated air. The first floor over the principal entrance, at the east end, contains a spacious assembly room, 102 feet in length, and 45 feet in width. The architect is Mr. Sykes (of thefirm of Messrs. Garlick, Park, and Sykes), of Preston, and the contractor Mr. Robert Saul, also of Preston. The estimated cost of the reconstructed building, exclusive of the organ and fittings, is about 12,000 pounds

What a delightful little booklet issued by the Chester based wine merchants and hoteliers, Quellyn Roberts and describing their small chain of hotels in what was then, and still is, a hugely popular tourist area. There's no date on this but the artwork and style of language makes one suspect a pre-First World War publication and so c1910 seems a good bet. The pages that detail the three Dolgellau (Dolgelley) properties, the George at Penmaenpool, the Catel at Harlech, the Queens at Llandudno and the Westminster at Rhyl certainly show that the chain catered for a high-class clientele. For the two coastal towns this was possobly their heyday, Llandudno being very fashionable and, thanks to the railways, very accessible as the timetables in the booklet show. What a shame no artist is given on this very 'art nouveau' style cover, the booklet itself is from the Hudson & Kearnes Southwark Press in London - an interesting company given their association with the development of mass media magazines in the UK and their part ownership of "Country Life' magazine, exactly the sort of periodical Quellyn Roberts would have advertised in. The booklet also described the Chester wine stores in the Old Crypt and the West Kirby shop.

The idea behind using the mobius strip is that, because it's technically a one-sided object, the Gaussian curvature at any single point is positive AND negative at the same time. Does this defy the laws of Euclidean geometry? Maybe so.

[clarification: the grid shown on the model in the first step is just made up of isocurves along the surface, so the squares you see are non-developable hyperbolic paraboloids. the idea is that {step 6} the panels are all completely flat]
