這份文書為白麻紙，纖維交織均勻，略泛黃，紙厚質硬。文書採用西方折頁式，正背兩版共四頁，每頁從右向左橫書有15行敘利亞文。將文書攤開後，正面為第一頁和第四頁，背面是第二頁和第三頁。第一頁的敘利亞文字行間還書有16行回鶻文押頭韻的韻文。
這份文書摘錄自《舊約聖經》中〈詩篇〉的內容，應是景教的某種儀式所選用的經文。從文書的裝幀形式和內容看，這頁應是從一本與景教的宗教活動有關的書中脫落的。甘肅在元代曾是景教比較集中的地區。此敘利亞文〈詩篇〉為研究景教的宗教儀式、神學理論以及景教在敦煌的發展都提供了原始資料。
Yuan dynasty (1279-1368 AD)
This document is made from thick and stiff white hemp paper with minor foxing and showing evenly interwoven hemp fibre. It comprises a single sheet folded and divided into four pages, notably a Western format. Each page is written horizontally from right to left in Syriac script with 15 lines taken from the Book of Psalms. When unfolded, the front of the documents shows page one and page four while the back shows page two and page three. The first page also contains 16 interlinear alliterative verses written in Uighur script.
The content of this text is adapted from the Book of Psalms in the Old Testament, probably to be used in some kind of Nestorian ritual. Its pagination format and content suggest that it was originally part of a large book related to Nestorian activities. Nestorianism was relatively active in the Gansu region during the Yuan dynasty. This Syriac text provides first-hand material for studying the Nestorian rituals, theological doctrines and the development of Nestorianism in Dunhuang.

Couldn't decide which title I liked better. This is more Pixlr Express stuff.
Inspired by the consistently sold-out Writing for Film & Television Summer Intensive Program, the Two-Weekend Intensive was designed for aspiring film and television writers with busy weekday schedules. Over the course of two weekends, participants learn a variety of screenwriting tools, techniques, and exercises that closely represent what students learn in the one-year Writing for Film & Television program.

Is life worth living?
Ist das Leben es wert, gelebt zu werden?
Wir lesen in Philosophie gerade Jean-Paul Sartres Essay "Der Existentialismus ist ein Humanismus", in dem dies ein grundlegendes Thema ist. Unsere Aufgabe war es, diese Frage mit Einbezug der existentialistischen Theorie zu beantworten. Joa und das habe ich daraus gemacht:

Sorry for so much German! ;-)
Earlier on in my Project 365 adventure I took a heart/ring photo of my wife's engagement ring in the middle of her favourite book. I don't think I really have a favourite book, but I have a favourite comic character and found a Batman book to place my ring in.
As my ring is a lot wider, it's able to stand freely giving a much cleaner heart shadow.
The photo was lit with the LED flash of an iPhone 5S.
It’s an odd duck, really – a razor system that has you stropping disposable blades to prolong their lives.
The Valley Autostrop is one of those forgotten inventions from the early part of the twentieth century. I tend to see it as the missing link between cutthroat razors and the disposable blades pioneered by Gillette.
I picked it up for a couple of bucks, literally green with tarnish. (Pictured here: www.flickr.com/photos/38722915@N04/5547458244/in/photostr.... A quick wash in liquid soap, followed by an afternoon with Brasso soon had it looking like new.
I photographed it with as much sunlight as I dared, so I could bring out the gold. OK, brass. But I have a thing for brass. It must be my inner Victorian trying to get out again. So, once again I'm using Flicker to document my crazy obsessions. . .
And yes, these are unopened blades, with one loaded into the Autostrop. You just know I’m going to shave with it, don’t you?
It’s easiest to reach me at Wild West Communications if you want to use my photography or talk about my writing and editing work.

fancy sky writing over the bay yesterday at the 75th anniversary celebration.
There was also an ad for car insurance, but i didn't care to photograph it.
This is one of a series of medallions on the façade of the Art Center Music School Building. The inscription appears to be in Greek.

Japanese paper. Grey on one side, white with inclusions on the other (shown above). Pen: Lamy CP 1 with an F nib. Ink: Iroshizuku Syo-Ro.
The paper is really whiter than in this picture, although not a very bright white. But it's neither grayish like this, nor ivory or anything else. Can you see the inclusions?
Lumen sans was related to Burmese in a 'behind-the-scenes' way. I didn't want to replicate Burmese shapes in the Latin, but wanted to think about the principles of Burmese letter-writing and apply those to Latin letterforms. By studying Burmese writing primers, I found that the circles of Burmese letters are drawn mostly anticlockwise, and tried to find out what impact it would have to reverse the construction of Latin letters by writing and drawing them from different start points.
This is a very early sketch. Later developments took the sans in a more rational direction as the brief required strong contrast between the serif and sans parts of the family.

Writing and writing
to link yesterday to today to tomorrow
to hopes to dreams to my yesterdays, your tomorrows.
Write, right, write.
Created with fd's Flickr Toys.
I did this writing exercise that is available for free on Meredith Sue Willis web site. I did not time this one, because it was not part of the exercise.
232 words.
I. I actually enjoyed
the sound of my name
when it was rolling
off of your tongue.
II. Whenever you would
make your way
to go back home,
I missed you
from the moment
that you said
you had to leave.
III. I’ve never looked
so forward to starting
tomorrow, before I
met you.
IV. When you
made love to me
in the pale afternoon
light, I knew
that when you
touched me,
you really did
mean it
when you said
that I was only thing
that you have never
been able
to stop craving.
In 1996, I finally found a brand new copy of "The Manual" (How to have a number one the easy way) by Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond. I bought it and read the book cover to cover. I thought about what I had read in some detail. I sent the receipt as proof of purchase to the PO BOX printed in the book and requested The Guarantee.
This is the reply that Bill Drummond sent back on headed paper.
A lot has happened since 1996.
This may be the Guarantee you are looking for if you want to interact with Iron Man Records or any related projects.
