The words, by the way, are from the hymn “A Song of Hope” written by Mary Artemesia Lathbury...



JANUS gives an interesting insight into the role of women hymnists in religion.

The entire hymn is:

Quote
Children of yesterday;
Heirs of to-morrow.
What are you weaving?
Labor and sorrow?
Look to your loom again.
Faster and faster
Fly the great shuttles
Prepared by the Master.
Life's in the loom!
Room for it--
Room!

Children of yesterday,
Heirs of to-morrow,
Lighten the labor,
And sweeten the sorrow.
Now--while the shuttles fly
Faster and faster,
Up, and be at it,
At work with the Master.
He stands at your loom;
Room for Him--
Room!

Children of yesterday.
Heirs of to-morrow,
Look at your fabric
Of labor and sorrow.
Seamy and dark*
With despair and disaster,
Turn it, and --lo,
The Design of the Master!
The Lord's at the loom;
Room for Him--
Room!

*(The esaayist takes issue with this verse as "racist')

There seems no agreement on the spelling of her middle name: Artemesia/ Artemisia

There might be a story buried in this essay about women frustrated by their ineligibilty for ministerial status turning to hymn-writing as a means of theological expression.

So far today, my DH has not remembered my birthdday. If he can go all day without remembering, I can have anything I want because he will feel so guilty.

Is it possible that he's actually planning something very nice for you tonight? ::)

;D

Unlike CSI: NY who not only has found Mac (Gary Sinese) a new love interest (a new M.E. on staff) but it looks like CSI Danny and Detective Flack will be cultivating new girl friends from within the unit.

Let me know when Eric Szmanda (Greg Sanders) needs company!

Key Evidence Missing in John Mark Karr Child Porn Case
Thursday , September 21, 2006
 
SANTA ROSA, Calif. — Efforts to prosecute one-time JonBenet Ramsey murder suspect John Mark Karr on child pornography charges should not be jeopardized even though his computer that allegedly contained the images was lost, Sonoma County authorities said Wednesday.

Authorities seized the computer from Karr's home in 2001 and copied the entire hard drive onto paper, including the five illicit images, said Sheriff's Department Lt. Dave Edmonds. He said authorities looked for the computer for the past two weeks, but have had no luck.


DA: Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, these are indeed copies of what we found on the defendant's computer (which, silly us, we've lost) - Truct us, please.

DEFENSE: Trials over - let's go - drink's on me!

I had just the opposite reaction. I liked THE BOURNE IDENTITY quite a lot and tolerated THE BOURNE SUPREMACY. I believe they're actually doing another one, too.


Yes they are.  I believe it is called STILL BOURNE.

The words, by the way, are from the hymn “A Song of Hope” written by Mary Artemesia Lathbury in the 1880’s, I believe. Interesting that, in the 1880's, she speaks of "flying the great shuttles!"
Talk about time travel!


I assume she was talking about the shuttles on a loom...

As for the TOD - I agree with Music Guy about Hitler. Of course, that would mean that I wouldn't exist - my father's first wife was killed in the Holocaust and my mother's fiance committed suicide on the way to the camps. My parents met after the war - and eventually I came along.



Well, I am certainly glad you clarified that!

I just spoke to our DR Tomovoz, who has blisters from going to the Top of the Rock as well as the Cloisters, which had been on his itenerary for tomorrow.  I will meet them around 5 at theur hotel tomorrow, visit, have dinner with them and our DR FJL before going to The Singing Nun.

On Saturday, I shall join them, vixmom and William Orr, as well as anyone else who wants to join us for a visit.  Tom is contacting vixmom to check on Saturday's time and place.

News release:

Feds Recommend Routine HIV Tests
By MIKE STOBBE, AP

ATLANTA (Sept. 21) - An HIV test should be almost as common as a cholesterol check, say federal health officials, who Thursday recommended routine testing for the AIDS virus for most Americans.

The U.S. Centers for Disease"Control and Prevention said people between the ages of 13 and 64 should be tested for the virus wjen they get other routine medical tests, although not every year unless they are at risk for AIDS.

The guidelines could help end the stigma of HIV testing, prevent further spread of the disease, and lead to needed care for an estimated 250,000 Americans who don't yet know they have it, CDC officials said.
...
The CDC recommends everyone get tested at least once, but annual testing is urged only for people at high risk.

Unless one were assured of an uncancelable, fully transferable, quaranteed for life, medical insurance policy, consent would be inane!

Anyone who engages in sexual conduct is at high-risk: the greatest increse in HIV infection is in populations commonly considered "low-risk" - (married women). The infection rate in "high-risk" populations is going down because of the spread of "safer-sex" procedures.
