Skip to comments.Call Him 'The God Father': Husband and Dad Will Become Catholic Priest -- and Take Vow of Celibacy
Posted on 01/27/2013 12:31:22 PM PST by marshmallow
John Cornelius, who is married, will be ordained this weekend -- and sex-free life begins
John Cornelius will be ordained a Roman Catholic priest this weekend and with the blessing of his wife they're giving up their sex life. Cornelius, a father of three, will become the first married Roman Catholic priest in New York and Sharyl, his wife of 33-years, has agreed to the whole celibacy thing.
We have decided to do that voluntarily, Cornelius told WGRZ-TV. I have always had friends that are Roman Catholic priests and I appreciate what they've given up to serve God and the priesthood.
Cornelius, 64, is a former Episcopalian priest who converted three years ago to Catholicism. He said his old church had gotten too liberal for him.
Two Catholic takes on the story:
Buffalos married priest says he will stop having sex (The Deacon's Bench)
Dcn. John Cornelius and his wife Sheryl are doing a praiseworthy thing (In the Light of the Law)
Oh come on, what's he giving up... Everybody knows that the sex stops when you get married.
Oh come on, what's he giving up... Everybody knows that the sex stops when you get married.
Oh come on, what's he giving up... Everybody knows that the sex stops when you get married.
I've heard of a few convert Catholic priests who can have relations with their wives until she dies, but then can't remarry. Does anyone know if Cornelius is taking a vow or a promise or is this something he can voluntarily go back on with no sin involved?
"Buffalos married priest says he will stop having sex"
So many punchlines here.
Somehow, I have a feeling that Fr. Cornelius will have very few penitents going to confession with him.
Not having sex in a marriage is unBiblical, except by agreement, for a short time, for prayer.
Could he not have been ordained as a priest in one of the Eastern Catholic Churches, and if so, would continence still have been expected? I know outside of the US it is not, but I think there are special circumstances for Eastern Catholic priests in the United States.
However, I do respect those who live chaste lives in our sex-obsessed society. I wonder if married Anglican and other Protestant priests who become Roman Catholic have to follow the celibacy rule as well?
Married Catholic clergy do not take a vow or make a promise to be continent. We make a promise of conditional celibacy in that if our wives pre-decease us then we must remain celibate and cannot remarry.
If Deacon Cornelius is making a promise to be continent after ordination, then that is entirely of his own initiative - and all the more praiseworthy because of it. He would have to have his wife's agreement in this, of course.
If they subsequently decided that they could not live continently, he would not be breaking any of the Church's laws, therefore, it would be no more sinful than breaking any other promise. However, the prospect of breaking a promise we make to God should make any of us pause before making such promises without due care and consideration.
Why not? My confessor is a married priest and he always has long lines of people waiting at his Confessional. The rules about the Seal of Confession will apply just as much to him as to any other priest.
For his sake, I just hope that his Confessional is quite roomy! ;)
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
**Cornelius, 64, is a former Episcopalian priest who converted three years ago to Catholicism.**
We also have a convert to the Catholic faith from the Episcopal Church. His wife and his grown children were present at his ordination — which I attended.
People just need to accept the fact that the Catholic Church is different!
God bless him and his family.
Many Saints in heaven agreed to live mutually celibate and respectful lives with their spouses. I know of one whose body is incorrupt.

Has the Time Come to Consider Making Celibacy Truly Optional In the Western Church?
Most people who live chaste lives live them because they do not have a great desire to have sex with others in the first place. Many are not priests either, it's just the kind of person they are. And there are several main reasons for it.
This is why we see the problems of forcing people with a normal libido into an unnatural permanent state of celibacy, and they look for an outlet of that desire and energy they have to suppress.
There is no biblical reason for leaders in the Christian church to not be married. Paul says he wishes more could be, but that is not a command you must be. The only place where this is required to be a leader is the Roman Catholic denomination. And they haven't done themselves any favors by reducing excellent candidates out of potential great ministerial positions because they are honest that they can't be celibate. So you get the pedophiles, the rapists, and the gays, or any hodgepodge of the above, in positions of authority over others, attempting to lecture them about morals while they and their archbishops do everything they can to cloak their own sins from the congregations.
And yes you can find married pastors and such that are into perversion, it's not exclusive to the Roman church and we've never said that only they have the problem. But what you can't find are churches who once discovered, won't get rid of them, won't shuffle them off to another unsuspecting church in their area. They get fired, they get prosecuted. The congregations get rid of them, they have the power to do so. Not so in the Roman Catholic churches. The Roman church because of its structure has systemically hid this from people, denied it was occurring, settled agreements only under vows of silence that those affected couldn't mention it to anyone, moved people around they knew had problems and did not warn the parishes these problem priests were coming to. It's the coverup and denial there even were problems being covered up.
We expect this kind of behavior from secular society, from worldly people, the unsaved, those still under control of the ruler of this world. What we don't expect is this behavior from people in the church. Running the church. In positions of authority over others. That's what makes it worse. At the same time condemning others for their little failings. That's the problem.
Oh I'm a strong Protestant who believes the sexual requirement for all Christians(clergy and laity alike) is either keep it in marriage(as Jesus defined it in Matthew 19:4-6, not as our perverted, sinful society is redefining it) or chastity, no exceptions. In analyzing how Rome keeps married men out of the priesthood I find it an interesting contrast to what I find in the Evangelical Protestant world I inhabit. If a young man wants to be a minister here, he better make sure he's either got a wife or is about to get one. Otherwise, most Bible believing churches wouldn't even consider hiring him.
of course how much he is giving up is a function of what his wife looks like.
Might be real easy.
I cannot imagine letting people know about this very private decision.
You mean just because
God/Christ describes marriage as "cleaving" and becoming one flesh, (Gn. 2:24; Mt. 19:4,5)
and there is no example of celibate marriage anywhere in Scripture btwn two adults able to procreate,
and celibacy for such is only advocated in the context of being single, (Mt. 19:10-12; 1Cor. 7:8)
and Paul restricts abstinence to only a period of fasting, and then to come together again,
and teaches that celibacy is a gift, (1Cor. 7:1,7)
and in no way evidences that all clergy are presumed to have it,
but instead lists marriage and raising children as normal credentials for ministry "(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?" - 1 Timothy 3:5)
then you think mandating celibacy for priests (not to mention that is never what pastors are distinctively titled by the Holy Ghost) is uinBiblical?
But when did Scripture become the supreme authority for Rome,
or when was Scriptural warrant necessary for doctrine (or even reasons behind infallible decrees held as necessarily infallible)
or when did anything Scripture say have authority unless Rome interpreted thusly?
Yet as some attempt must be made (in condescension to pesky Protestants) by RCAs to provide some sort of Scriptural warrant for traditions of men, you have forgotten that they are endowed with a amazing gift of extrapolating what is needed to provide some Scriptural warrant (like 1 Cor. 3 as teaching purgatory )
Thus, out of, "this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none," (1 Corinthians 7:29) is extrapolated support for lifelong celibacy; which, to be consistent, means that Christians can no longer show weeping, or rejoicing, or use things they possess, (1Cor. 7:30), rather than just living in consecration and holiness as the Lord enjoined, (Lk. 21:34) not preoccupied with cares of this life, and in which fasting and sexual relations can both be enjoined to, and marriage bed be declared undefiled. (Heb. 13:4)
And it is a standard and safe rule in exegesis to interpret the unclear texts in the light of the clear.
However, as other sola ecclesia groups go to extremes, with the LDS exalting sex above which is written, Catholics have gone to the other extreme, and in so doing exampled more exegetical errors, even holding that all marital relations are unclean, as they could not be effected without the ardour of lust, this being carnal concupiscence, though it is no longer accounted sin in the regenerate."
Jerome (engaging in a false dilemma) reasoned that since 1Cor. 7:1 says "it is good not to touch a woman, [then] it is bad to touch one: for there is no opposite to goodness but badness." And that since men must always pray, ministers could not be married, and invoked Genesis 7 as proving that "two is not a good number because it destroys unity, and prefigures the marriage compact." (More: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2966953/posts?page=311#311)
All this is not meant to demean celibacy in consecration toward God, nor must this particular priest be celibate (Rome makes allowances for those who enter the priest hood married), but refutes the idea that it should be presumed that those called to ministry normally have the gift of celibacy. That is simply presumptuous and asking for trouble.
You're right, but she is agreeable.
She's willing to give up their sex life with her blessing......
I'm not going to comment.
How does pointing out what Scripture says qualify as *throwing stones*?
Thank you for putting that so well.
"The Roman church because of its structure has systemically hid this from people, denied it was occurring, settled agreements only under vows of silence that those affected couldnt mention it to anyone, moved people around they knew had problems and did not warn the parishes these problem priests were coming to. Its the coverup and denial there even were problems being covered up."
These things have occurred not because of the structure of the Church, but rather because it has had some very evil bishops who have conspired to protect perverts and cover up their crimes.
Many bishops have been very straight in the way they have governed their dioceses and perpetrators immediately referred to the police. Unfortunately the good governance of a diocese does not make for good headlines in the MSM.
One thing that really does frustrate me is that when bad bishops have been involved in cover-ups, the secular authorities very rarely take action against them. A lot of these bishops should be in prison along with the perverts whose crimes they have facilitated.
However, in the UK, we are now finding that similar situations pertain in other organizations. The BBC has sheltered and facilitated celebrity paedophiles for years. The police are now hunting down the perverts, but nothing seems to be happening about those who facilitated them. Why?
Sex in marriage is a gift from God, becoming one flesh.
To not have sex is un-Biblical.
Well, let's not forget the "First Pope" was married.
"And when Jesus entered Peters house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever." (Matthew 8:14)
Now I'm sure Rome will give us the usual blather that somehow this was an aberration and why later the Roman Catholic Church, through some spiritual hocus-pocus, divined some reason priests shouldn't marry. But the fact is. Peter was married.
Stating what God said through the Apostle Paul is not throwing stones. If you believe that, you have greater problems than the unbiblical choice of a priest.
"You're right, but she is agreeable.
"She's willing to give up their sex life with her blessing......
And that says volumes - that there are TWO people who don't obey the Bible, but are going to function as priests in the Catholic Church.
Id like to see proof of that one.
One only need look to paganism to understand where the idea for celibate priests came from.
Course, it works both ways.
She is willing and giving it her blessing.....
She is willing and giving it her blessing.....
I cannot begin to understand thse people.
Well, that's not too hard as there is no sex in heaven. Except for false Mormon doctrine.
I know of one whose body is incorrupt.
Well of course, that is Jesus.
Why do you throw stones?
Expressing a Biblical truth is throwing stones?
Can you produce a scripture disputing what the poster said?
If not, who is throwing stones here?
Here is the statement : "Not having sex in a marriage is unBiblical, except by agreement, for a short time, for prayer."
Most Christians familiar with the Bible have some knowledge of that scriptural fact.
This was while they were on earth. There is always a higher purpose — loving God.
Care to comment on my other questions/statements?
Beats me......
The Bible wasn't completed until about the year 120, about 90 years after Jesus' Death. For about 400 years after this it floated around mostly by word of mouth. A few Bibles after this started by written by hand, but were mostly in the hands of Churches because it was such a painstaking process. The first printed Bible came out in 1456. The verses were added in 1560. Since most Christians for most of the time after Jesus didn't have access to a Bible, have most Christians throughout history been "unBiblical"? Most Christians for most of history followed the voice of the Church. And wasn't it the Catholic Church guided by the Holy Spirit that settled on the books of the Bible in the first place? When I've discussed these things with Protestants, they inevitably say the early Christians followed the Holy Spirit. But what happens when disagreements pop up. Peter and Paul disagreed. Following the Spirit without the Pope leads to what we have today, the scandal of 40,000 Christian denominations. Jesus wants us to be one with Him and the Father.
Let's follow this line of "reasoning"......
So, if not having sex for a higher purpose is good, and that higher purpose purpose is loving God, does that mean that couples who do have sex don't love God as much?
The Catholic church sends mixed messages.
On one hand it highly esteems celibacy, treating sex as if it's bad, and on the other hand, lauds large families, which only come from one activity last I checked.
I know of a family that has adopted, I believe, six children, in addition to their biolgoical children.
Ever hear of adoption?
**The Catholic church sends mixed messages.**
Ever hear of loving God above all things?
you should consider changing your tag line to "revolution fan" because the "reformation " reformed nothing.
you cannot reform from the outside, only those who remain within the group can reform. When you choose to leave the group, you beome a revolutionary.
the protestant revolution was based on those who chose to follow false "prophets" like Luther, Wesley, Calvin Zwingley, Henry VIII, etc.
they were wrong then....they still are.
Mary and Joseph did...are they too in violation of the Bible????
"The Bible wasnt completed until about the year 120, about 90 years after Jesus Death. For about 400 years after this it floated around mostly by word of mouth...Since most Christians for most of the time after Jesus didnt have access to a Bible, have most Christians throughout history been unBiblical"
ALL Gospels and Epistles were circulated and read aloud as part of worship gatherings in local Churches - this was in addition to 2/3s of revelation existing before the Church began.
In addition, God gave the Church Pastors, Teachers and Elders, as a gift of the Holy Spirit. They functioned from the beginning and continue to function today.
As such, your statement is incorrect. Christians from the beginning of the Church have had Scriptural Truth and were taught to apply it. There have always been those who ignore the truth, despite having it - like the newly minted sexless priest.
"Following the Spirit without the Pope leads to what we have today, the scandal of 40,000 Christian denominations. Jesus wants us to be one with Him and the Father."
The Pope is unnecessary to Biblical unity - and unnecessary to the Church, since Pope is not a Biblical office.
Jesus' prayer for our unity was based on being kept in the truth and on our love for all believers - not to denominational identity.
"Mary and Joseph did...are they too in violation of the Bible???? "
If Mary and Joseph abstained from sex after the birth of Jesus Christ, they would have circumvented God's plan for married couples. The Bible has no teaching of perpetual virginity of Mary. Nor are there any writings from the first 100 years AD from the Apostles that teach this.
nor are there any writings against this...The Catholic church teaches it, the Catholic church is infallible, therefore I believe it.
After Jesus was born Mary and Joseph were just like any other married couple, they had sex, they had children.
Your argument is a misrepresentation. While it true that the printed Bible came out in the 15th century, which was because Gutenberg only invented the printing press in 1450, that does not equate to or sanction ignorance of Scripture any more than it did in the days of OT, when God commanded the Israelites that they set the "commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord your God commanded" forever before them, and to "teach them diligently unto thy children," (Dt. 6:1-9) and the righteous man was described as one whose "delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night," (Psalms 1:2) and numerous teachers for long periods "read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading." (Nehemiah 8:8)
This does not mean the majority of the laity were literate, and in fact, unlike such bodies as the MA colonial government who mandated schools so that the populace would not be ignorant of the Scripture, promoting literacy in the Bible did not seem to be a priority form Rome, and she often hindered it.
However, Athanasius of Alexandria ( 298 - 373) listed the complete New Testament canon 27 books for the first time, and the translator Jerome (347 420) translated all of the Old and New, while John Chrysostom (347407) exhorted the laity to "get you at least the New Testament, the Apostolic Epistles, the Acts, the Gospels, for your constant teachers...," and chastens the laity for presuming "the reading of the divine Scriptures" (not simply hearing) appertains to such as monks, while the laity needed it more, and marginalizing them was" far worse than not reading," The context of his of the exhortation in Ephesians is the home life, and on that he says not "hear" but "study the Scriptures," while on Col. 3:16 he exhorts "the reading of the Scriptures and that not to be done lightly, nor in any sort of way, but with much earnestness." More
Thus whether by reading and or hearing, literacy in Scripture was the goal, and it is abundantly evidenced that the Scriptures were the transcendent material standard for obedience and in establishing truth claims, and that the Lord claims of Christ and the apostles were established upon Scriptural attestation in word and in power, not appeal to an assuredly infallible magisterium.
Since most Christians for most of the time after Jesus didnt have access to a Bible, have most Christians throughout history been unBiblical? Most Christians for most of history followed the voice of the Church.
You answered your own question. While not excluding that the body of Christ continued thru some members, as salvation requires more of the heart than the head, (Ps. 34:18) how else would Catholics agree to things from praying the departed to torturing and killing merely theological dissidents, if it were not because Rome has usurped the supernaturally established Scriptures as the supreme authority?
Or is your argument that being the instruments and stewards of Divine revelation mean you are the assuredly infallible interpreters of it, and that no one has spiritual authority apart from their sanction, or in opposition to it?
And wasnt it the Catholic Church guided by the Holy Spirit that settled on the books of the Bible in the first place?
And when did Rome provide an infallible, indisputable canon of Scripture? And does this mean all those who deviate from this have no legitimacy, or what does it mean?
When Ive discussed these things with Protestants, they inevitably say the early Christians followed the Holy Spirit. But what happens when disagreements pop up.
And Rome is one church among many who claim that they uniquely followed the Holy Spirit correctly. What is the basis for your full assurance that Rome is the one true church?
Peter and Paul disagreed.
Yes, and they both disagreed with Rome. Tell me where either taught that the office of Peter was assuredly infallible, when speaking according to the infallible *scope and subject-based) criteria of Rome? (And what place in the kingdom of God do those have who disagree with that?)
Where did Peter or Paul refer to Peter as the supreme ruler of the church, or even remind them to pray for Peter as such, or teach that his chair and that of all the apostles were to be formally passed on?
Where did they or anyone example or teach to pray to anyone in heaven but God (without resorting to problematic extrapolation), or distinctively title pastors "priests," or that all clergy (with rare exceptions) were expected to have the gift of celibacy, etc.?
Following the Spirit without the Pope leads to what we have today, the scandal of 40,000 Christian denominations. Jesus wants us to be one with Him and the Father.
I can see that you are new here. In any case since your premise is that dissent from Rome and its pope negates ecclesiastical authenticity, what makes Rome the one true church over other particular sola ecclesia churches which also claim to be the one true church based upon their interpretation of Scripture, history and tradition? Again, what is the basis for your assurance?
Moreover, how can you claim greater unity than other particular churches, especially when Catholics can and do disagree on multiple things , besides the things they are not supposed to but are effectively allowed to (treating even the most liberal as members in life and in death), and her members testify to less unity in core truths and moral views than her evangelical counterparts?
Do you really think organizational structure and paper unity (and unity in error), and which requires implicit assent of faith is superior in quality to the unity of the Spirit resulting from a shared conversion and relationship with the Lord Jesus?
The reality is that there are disagreements and divisions under sola ecclesia as well as sola (or prima) Scriptura (Scripture being supreme), and the difference being in degrees, while the unity of the diverse growing NT church was not based on assured veracity as per Rome, much less her use of the sword, but upon Scriptural substantiation.
And which allows that they will be competition, but overcomes it by "manifestation of the truth in word and in power, (2Cor. 4:2) that it is the church of the living God, which the evangelical gospel has historically manifested far more than its institutionalized counterpart, Catholic or Protestant.
"For the kingdom of God is not in word [self-declaration], but in power. " (1 Corinthians 4:20) And "to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. " (Ecclesiastes 9:4)
As for your 40,000 Christian denominations parroted polemic, see here ,
No they didn't. Jesus is an only child. Where are you getting these ideas?
The quotes in the Bible about brothers and sisters refer to brethren or relatives.

Mar 20, 2012 by Lisa Lowdermilk So, you've been studying for three hours straight for your chemistry exam and you haven't even cracked your calculus, history and geography books yet. Besides envisioning that much sought-after 4.0 GPA, how do you stay motivated? You play study games, of course! While study games aren't quite as addicting as the Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft varieties, they're still much more engaging than reading over your study guide for the hundredth time. Websites like Quizlet – aka "the world's largest flash cards and study games website" – are perfect for helping you memorize vocabulary whether you're studying biology or business and another option, Quia, offers Hangman, Battleship, scavenger hunts and more. If you're looking for resources to help you prepare for standardized tests like the SAT, ACT or GRE, on the other hand, sites like Grockit have got you covered...but access to these games, study plans, written and video study aids can cost $29.99 a month. In addition to being more fun than your average study session, study games increase your chances of remembering the material for your test. Research has shown that if you try to encode information in as many ways as possible (e.g., via sight and sound), you're more likely to remember that information. And because many study games make use of both visual and auditory features, your odds of doing well on your test increase. If you can't find a game to help you study, consider visiting your textbook's website: Many publishers offer animations, study guides and quizzes.

Im here for 21 years and Ive never heard of such a thing, said Leon Kogut, the owner of Leons Fantasy Cut in Brooklyn. The guy tells me this is discrimination of a woman.
An inspector slapped the barber with three violations totaling $650 in fines.
Kogut said the inspector took issue with the fact that he charged $13 for a mans haircut and $16 for a womans.
A womans haircut requires a lot of skill, Kogut said. You have to style the hair, blow dry, use the mousse, the hairspray. It could take hours to get her hair cut.
On the other hand, he said, it only takes a few minutes to cut a guys hair.
Its a different kind of hair cut, he said.
Kogut tried to reason with the city inspector.
The inspector was not swayed and told Kogut that to be in compliance of the law he could only charge different prices for long hair and short hair.
I said, Okay, Ill do it. Its my mistake, he said. But I never know this nobody ever told me this.
But that wasnt the end of Koguts problems. It turns out the city also took issue with his nearly 100-year-old cash register.
Why didnt the cash register print receipts, the inspector demanded to know.
I told him, the cash register is three times older than you, sir, Kogut said. The cash register is 93 years old.
That resulted in another fine for the 64-year-old barber.
Nobody ever asks for receipts in a barber shop, he said. Im here 21 years in this shop and nobody asks for receipt.

Well I could see why you might charge more for women they generally have longer and more hair then men so it would take longer more time more money.

Welcome to Mayor Bloomburg's New York.
It takes astronomically longer to do a woman's hair! I go to the same stylist as my fiancée, and I ALWAYS go first. It takes her 10 minutes to do my hair, if that. I made the mistake of letting her go first once... yeah, won't make that mistake again.
Does Bloom-in'-idiot-berg have people scouring the streets of NYC for "issues" like this faux-discrimination crap?
My Barber has no posted prices. It is what it is.
but the govt reps will never follow those immoral orders, right??????
He's talked to the press. now nanny Bloomberg will shut him down.
ObamaCare for your folicles! One size fits all!
I remember reading of a hotel in Las Vegas that charged men (non-guests) to visit the pool but women were allowed for free.
This is fine. Just give them the same haircut.
Wow, fining the guy for not printing a receipt???? SHoudl have told him I hand write them for those who ask.... there is no law requiring a cash register generated receipt.
This inspector needs fired and banned from any sort of civil service permanently, he's clearly a little man trying to use his job to make himself feel big.
Some women's salons charge more for long hair. Let's see if we can find a discrimination issue for them too.
With all the gender-bender nonsense around, a woman could claim she's really a man, also.
Rediculous nanny-state, communist BULLSHIT. New Yorkers keep electing that socialist idiot, Bloomberg their mayor, and this is what they get. Next they will want to regulate how many times a day you can go to the toilet, how often you can blow your nose, how many hours you can sleep, etc., etc. Luckily New Yorkers are cleaver and resourceful enough to "get around" this kind of crap...but it's very annoying!!
The clown likely makes 100K for putting businesses out of business.
Pray for America
I am sure that NYC will next make the male auto insurance rates go down.
BTW, for NYC $16 for a woman's haircut is a darn good deal.
SO... can a guy go into a ladies salon and get a haircut for $10 ?
My barber is ripping me off.
He charges me the same as someone with hair.
New York City is utterly insane, and the Head Crazy is Bloomberg.
Do the bars still have Ladies' Nights and give them free or reduced priced drinks while men pay full price?
Started shaving the old gourd when the cul-de-sac look wasn't working for me anymore. :)
Did everyone see the original article -— the guy says he left the Soviet Union and that he's feeling like he's back under Communism, in NYC?
how stupid is this? all the barber does is raise the price of a man's cut to match a women's cut
Sad but true.
They will now start charging by the time it takes - for example $1.50 / minute with a twenty minute minimum.
3 points for excellent use of a quote from that revered document.
I go to barber shops. I stay away from anyplace that claims to do "styling" or that wants to involve liquids of any kind in any way. As a result, women are non existent in the shops I frequent.
I think this guy's solution is simple. Whack off the ladies' hair in the same way he trims the men. I'll bet none of the women come back. Problem solved.
".....visit the pool but women were allowed for free."
Works for me!
Union public employees.
I can't believe the Illinois judge said that...
Ground work for a directive 10-289?
Kogut tried to reason with the city inspector.
So funny! I can't believe it, he tried to "reason" with the city inspector. I guess Kogut didn't realize where he was .... NYC (aka OZ).
People need to wake up and realize where electing leftist Democrats eventually leads. Their political ideology demands that every facet of our lives be somehow controlled by the government bureaucracy. This brain-dead harassment of a poor barber by some arrogant, overpaid New York City bureaucrat over something as absurd as charging more for a woman's haircut than a man's and not having a cash register that prints receipts (that can be hand-printed just as easily) with insanely high fines that probably equal a weeks income or more for the barber represents the kind of government leftist politicians dream about.
That the Brooklyn barber, a refugee from Communism, sees the parallels between the Communist government in 'the old country' and what the New York City government is doing under the leftist billionaire mayor, Michael Bloomberg, should send chills down the spines of Manhattan residents. The tragedy is that it won't.
Why doesn't NYC institute a law that a doctor must examine a woman's uterus by sticking a finger up her rectum, too?
"Please bend over, grab your ankles and assume the position, that is after you hand over your wallet, your home, vehicle, and 1st born."
My haircuts cost $10. In and out in less than 10 minutes. I don't think any woman would be happy getting the equivalent of my haircut. Unless they are lesbians.
My wife cuts my hair. No charge, but I pay in the long run :>)
This barber obviously does not know how much better that government servant makes his life.
..do I really need the /sarc?
Yes lately here I probably do need it.
You have to style the hair, blow dry, use the mousse, the hairspray."
Needs a new price chart!
Hair Cut = $13
Hair Style = $16
If a woman wants a cut, she gets no style, blow dry, mousse, or hairspray!
I'd love to comment but it's ladies night at my local watering hole...
Fianlly, someone is fixing this inequality. Now I want the service station inequality dealt with. When I go in to get my transmission changed they charge me more than they charge the guy that's in for an oil change.
You and me both. I finally broke down and bought a hair clipper. The cheap side of me overcame the lazy part of me.

Cherry Creek and Arapahoe finished one-two respectively at the State Class 5A girls track meet held May 16-18 at Jefferson County Stadium.
The Bruins took top honors with 86 points and Arapahoe earned runner-up honors with 64 points.
At state, team points are awarded for the top nine finishers in each event. The event champion earns 10 team points and the ninth-place finisher earns one team point. The depth of talent proved to be important for both teams as they won a few championships had athletes place and earn team points in numerous events.
"There are so many top athletes here that every point counts," John Woods, former Mullen track coach, said. "It has been my experience it is the team that has athletes place in a lot of events that wins the team title rather than a team that wins one or two championships but doesn't place in other events."
The Bruins had a pair of two event champions as Jordyn Colter won the 800-meter run sand the 1,600-meter run while teammate Megan McCabe won the pole vault and the long jump.
Freshman Ashley Miller helped the Cherry Creek cause with a second-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles. She said, when she started doing track in middle school, she thought it was cool to jump over things so she started running the hurdles. She said she has worked hard to improve the techniques needed to be competitive in the hurdles.
Arapahoe also scored points in a variety of events. Two big wins came in 1,600-meter relay and the 32,00 relay.
The 3,200 relay was run May 16 — the opening day of the state meet — and the team of Devan Foster, Jordan Seitz, Lauren Lipski and Zoe Gibbs won the event.
"We felt good coming into the state meet because our times had been among the best all season," Foster said after the race. "The competition was tough but we did it. It was totally a team effort and it was the greatest feeling in the world as I crossed the finish line first for us."
The Warriors gained additional points as Foster finished second in the 800, Tarya Phipps was third in the 400 and Hailey DeVries finished third in the 300-meter hurdles.

Green River is the home for the latest Smart Site in Utah: Tekubate, Inc. is Green River's non-profit technology incubation center. A grand opening was held on July 31 to introduce the community to the site and spotlight some of the new services available. Mindy Cassingham is the site director and has been working on the project for more than a year. Cassingham said, "We kind of stumbled on the Smart Site program by accident. I was doing a presentation at a city council meeting and Olive Anderson was there and told me about the Smart Site program which is functioning on the western end of the county. So we checked into it and I was introduced to Les Prall who is the director of the Utah Smart Sites Program. He has helped us get needed equipment to begin the site. We formed a board and located a building to house the site. We are located in the old city maintenance shop for the airport. The office has undergone major renovations. My husband Rob has done most of the work and the city donated the building which hasn't been used for 15 years and $5,000 for improvements.
"Mr. Prall explained to us that we needed a sponsor so Green River City is sponsoring our site. We have tried to create a nice, high energy work environment. We have a few businesses in here right now and are working to attract more. We have Wayout Websites, Virtours, which will be DVD guides to the area with a GPS coordinate. I have operated the GreenRiver/Utah.com website and will continue to do that
from this office. Connie Copenhaver will be operating a local newspaper and we have received a grant for the purchase of a large format color printer. The Smart Site program has also helped us obtain a video camera. We will be able to do short runs of business cards, print business brochures for local businesses, motel directories and many other services to let people know what's available in our area. We will also offer network gaming. Emery Telcom is our network provider and they have been a breath of fresh air to work with.
"We have some people involved in getting their training to do medical coding and they will have the option of working out of our office, or working from home. We also plan on having some training classes here at the facility which will be for building skills and they will be held two nights a week," said Cassingham.
Copenhaver said, "We have four enrolled for the medical coding who have already finished their prerequisites and will graduate on Sept. 8. We have three working on their prerequisites now who will start the medical coding training in the fall. We can take a course once we graduate to gain experience called, "Chaos by Design." This is a type of boot camp for medical coders. This program is used to get the experience needed so they can be hired. It is a hands on program, where you actually do the work and then it will tell you if it is right or wrong."
Copenhaver said the flexibility of working as a medical coder was very attractive to her and she has plans to take a laptop computer and go on the road and travel and still be able to work at her convenience.
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held and Cassingham and the Green River Mayor Glen Dale Johnson did the honors of cutting the ribbon to officially open the new site. Mayor Johnson said he is excited about this new chapter in economic development in Green River and wanted to thank Mindy and her associates for their hard work.
Prall was on hand for the opening of the new Smart Site and explained that the governor is really interested in creating high tech jobs in rural Utah. He also explained a program where the LDS church donates used computers to the state and the Smart Site program uses them for job training and job creation. "So far, 144 computers have been donated and distributed to rural communities as well as into the homes of low income families throughout the state. Our goal is job creation and employment by the private sector. We offer incentives and assistance plus a little bit of money. The entrepreneurs will work to get contracts. We also work with them to match skills with possible employers and we work to bring people together. The Smart Site program has created 700 jobs since 2001 and the governor's goal is 1,000 jobs created by the end of 2004. The key is finding places where this will work, a lot of communities have adequate band width and good employment skills, but they lack someone to put it all together as has been done here in Green River. You need someone like Mindy Cassingham to bring it all together and to make it happen," said Prall.

Pontiac, Michigan -- Oakland County Health Division, under the leadership of Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson, urges residents to take preventative measures to prevent heat-related illnesses. The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory for southeast Michigan from noon Tuesday through midnight Wednesday. Individuals at greatest risk include those 65 years of age or older, infants and children up to age four, people who are ill or on certain medications, overweight people, and those who exert themselves during work or exercise.
"Excessive heat is so dangerous that in the recent years, it has caused more deaths than hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, lighting or any other weather event combined," said George Miller, director of Oakland County Health and Human Services. "It causes nearly 700 deaths each year in the U.S."
Heat stroke is the most severe form of heat illness. It is a life-threatening condition because the body loses its ability to cool itself. Symptoms vary, but usually include red, flushed skin; a rapid, strong pulse; throbbing headache, nausea, seizures, difficulty speaking, confusion and unconsciousness. If someone shows signs of heat stroke, call 911. Attempt to lower their body temperature by helping them get to a shaded area and by cooling their skin.
To prevent heat stroke and other heat-related illness:
Those who must go outside should try to limit activity to the morning or evening when temperatures are lower. While outside, take frequent breaks. Find air-conditioned places or shady areas to rest. Individuals who choose to engage in outdoor activities need to drink plenty of water and take the precautions listed above.
Those seeking a cooling center should contact their city, village, or township offices for the nearest location. For more information about heat-related illnesses, visit www.oakgov.com/health, contact the Nurse on Call at 800-848-5533, or follow the Health Division on Facebook and Twitter @publichealthOC.

Flames Assistant GM Job Posting
July 07 2010 04:31PM
For the Calgary Flames, the 09-10 season was akin to a ride on a rollercoaster. A season that started full of promise and hope ended as one mired in despair and regret. As one could reasonably expect after such a tumultuous ride, the fans of the team, lost and disheartened, sought guidance.
Direction came in the form of a now infamous post season press conference. Ken King, President of the Flames, revealed that the organization was in the process of hiring one or two people to assist Darryl Sutter, the GM of the team, with his duties. An 'Assistant GM' was on the way.
A draft and a free agency period later, nobody has been hired. This has led many in the fan base to question the motives of the announcement. Were the Flames lying to them, to get the heat off Darryl?
Relax Flames fans. The fact that a 'New Assistant GM' hasn't been hired isn't a reflection of the Flames administrations general disdain for the paying customer. It is actually a result of a simple clerical error. Instead of sending out the 'want ads' out to qualified candidates such as Kelly Kisio, a mail room mix-up scattered them to the four corners of the Earth. After much bribery and coercion, Domebeers managed to get a hold of the 'want ad'.
We now present it to FlamesNation.
Calgary Flames
Assistant General Manager (AGM)
The Calgary Flames Hockey Club is looking for qualified people to join our management team. We are world class organization, having captured the Stanley Cup in 1989. We would like to add great, knowledgeable people to our premiere organization; people who will contribute to the ongoing and continued success of the Calgary Flames.
- Looking After The Ranch: During the season, Darryl Sutter will have to travel across the continent in order to scout and evaluate talent. Any prospective AGM will have to be prepared to plow Darryl's fields, feed Darryl's horses, milk Darryl's cows, and keep the varmints and the cattle thieves off the property.
- Chauffeur: Darryl hasn't really gotten used to the horseless buggy yet. Because of this, any prospective AGM will have to be prepared to drive Darryl to the saloon in the morning, to the Saddledome in the afternoon, and back to the saloon after the games. Darryl doesn't like to drink alone, so be prepared to also chauffer his prized horse, Grit, around too.
- Caddying: Due to the play of the team the last couple of years, Darryl Sutter has had plenty of time to acquire a taste for golf. As AGM you will be required to caddy for Darryl, holding his clubs and suggesting how to attack holes. Darryl will not listen to any of this advice. Any shot Darryl makes is because of his genius, and any shot he misses is because his idiot caddy gave him bad advice (of course, only 'casual fans' don't already realize this).
- Pick Up And Delivery: Darryl Sutter is not a morning person. Hangovers will do that. As an AGM, you will be required to fetch Darryl's 'hair of the dog' whenever he asks. Liquor store isn't open? Grab a crowbar, buddy. Also, while not officially part of your duties as AGM, you will be asked to get Ken Kings very expensive coffee. You better do it. Ken Kings a big man.
- Media Relations: Darryl Sutter has set a tone for this organization. As the AGM, you will be required to tow this line. Whenever a media member requests comment from Darryl, you will be required to spit in their face and slash their tires. If those know nothing idiots continue to pester Darryl, you will be required to come up with demeaning nicknames for Darryl to call them and their spouses.
- Knowing Your Place: Darryl Sutter is a very busy man. As the AGM, you will be required to call his secretary whenever you need to get into contact with Darryl. Don't worry, he won't call you back.
- Birthdays and Bar Mitzvahs: Several members of the Flames ownership and administration have young children. As AGM, you will be required to put on the clown suit and entertain them. It's not like you'd have any dignity left to lose at this point anyways, right?
- Any potential AGM will have to prove they were born in Alberta
- Will have to have at least four (4) years in the field of Agriculture
- Will have to be able to mix a mean Milskey
- Will have to be able to juggle and make balloon animals
- Will have to not be customer friendly
- Will have to be highly motivated and passionate about creating a miserable working environment for the members of the media
- Will have to know when to sit down and shut the hell up
- While not required, it will help your application if your surname is Sutter.
- Addition/Subtraction skills not required
- Complete disdain for the fans is required
We thank all applicants for their interest in joining the Calgary Flames management team, however, only those candidates selected for an interview will be contacted. No phone calls, please. That means you can stop calling anytime now, Mr. Francis.
Furthermore, I think Peter Loubardias should be fired.
July 07 2010, 05:42PM
Hmm....I dont think im qualified to do any of that....i could hang on to and use a first round draft pick though ;)
Holy Crap...based on most of those requirements I think the Assistant GM will be from Edmonton!!!
I thought the cheap comedy was my job..
Lets face it though, an assistant GM would not make any difference for the club; more just for Darryl's quality of life.
Actually, I think an AGM will help Sutter to not be quiiite so hasty.
Let's put the Assistant GM issue to bed, although I thoroughly enjoyed what DomeBeers did.
On May 31st Rob Kerr reported that the Flames "technically" already have an Assistant General Manager. His name is Michael Holditch and up until January he held the title of VP of Hockey Operations. Since then he has been officially the AGM. Mike is apparently a "capologist" and handles a lot of the heavy loads with the contracts.
When Ken King said they would look at getting more help for Darryl, I think there were other areas of the hockey operations they had in mind...don't be surprised if they stop making Darryl available for media scrums and instead have a more "friendly" face take care of the Q & A.
Damn, although I call myself an Albertan, i wasnt born in Alberta, guess I'm out. But seriously, did anyone really feel that this was going to happen? If they do "hire" someone it will be most likely a token position. Because Darryl is always right.
apparently holditch was the guy holding the calculator when the team ran outta cap space in 08/09. ie: we need another guy to watch THAT guy.
Good one, Domebeers, my application is in the mail. I can juggle well enough for birthday parties, $150 and a quick police check and I'll be Sutter S. Sutter, and I'm sure I can figure out the cap better than Holditch just by punching stuff into Capgeek. Can't say I've ever mixed a milskey, but I make a mean caucasian, so I could probably generalize.
I think its always good to make this point; its not that we need an assistant GM, its that these guys LIE all the time, and think everyone else is stupid. It was a mistake to keep Darryl, they knew everyone would hate the idea, so they lie to us thinking that we'll just forget about it. Too bad we have a MUCH longer attention sp... uh, where did I leave my beer? What was I talking about again? Go Flames!

Cute but not made right at all
"Sandal feels like it is made for people with flat feet. I always wear a size 8 in all my sandals and these I can't even get on because the distance from the sole of the sandal and the strap is so close together. I'm not sure if I got a bad pair or if they're all like this but I wouldn't order again or recommend."

Wonderful color, good short wear shoes!
"I got these in a seafoam/aqua color, I love the color, looks like it does online and is surprisingly hard to find a cute design sandal in that color. However, my foot seems to rest far back on the shoe, I'm usually a 8.5, but I have like 1 in extra from my toe to the tip of the shoe, I don't think I could've gotten a size smaller as the clasp and top of the shoe are snug, but I have high arches so that just might be an issue for me. One more thing I didn't like was the width of the strap between your toes is a bit wide, it starts to hurt after a while of wear, But overall cute sandal for partial day wear1"

I am a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel with 24 years of active duty military service. I am currently employed by Sikorsky Aircraft as a deputy program manager, and I am responsible for leading teams in the building of proposals and the execution of contract changes to the MH-60R and MH-60S helicopters in support of the U.S. Navy.
I selected UNH's EMBA program for three reasons. First and foremost, I was drawn to the integrated curriculum. I value an integrated approach that strategically weaves in multiple elements of the business curriculum and continually connects the workings of one subject with another. Secondly, UNH's curriculum schedule fit best within the demands of my professional and personal life. Meeting every three weeks provides me the right balance to successfully complete the program. Lastly, UNH's program offered me the most advantageous veterans' benefits. After 24 years of service, I am happy to be in a position where I can utilize both the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill as well as UNH's Yellow Ribbon program to fund my education.
My experiences at UNH have enabled me to interact with professionals from a variety of industries and various business structures. The student cohort is made up of individuals from corporate America, privately owned business and the nonprofit sector. Interacting with them has substantially increased my awareness of the various challenges faced within each environment. The knowledge gained through my instructors has provided me with the financial skills to effectively manage a profit-and-loss statement as well as the organizational behavior skills to ensure that I am performing effectively as a leader.
I was part of a four-member group that conducted a case study on the organic grocery store Whole Foods, Inc. We evaluated Whole Foods utilizing all the disciplines that had been taught throughout the module – finance, accounting, economics, quantitative analysis and IT. This allowed us the opportunity to showcase and utilize the knowledge and tools that we had gained as a result of all of our coursework.
My post-graduation plans are to continue my professional growth through continued challenges and opportunities within the aerospace industry. I have a passion for leadership and look forward to new opportunities to teach, coach, mentor and lead employees in positions of increasing responsibility.

Here is the kind of authentically detailed epic novel that is Louis L'Amour's hallmark. It is the compelling story of U.S. Air Force Major Joe Mack, a man born out of time. When his experimental aircraft is forced down in Russia and he escapes a Soviet prison camp, he must call upon the ancient skills of his Indian forebears to survive the vast Siberian wilderness. Only one route lies open to Mack: the path of his ancestors, overland to the Bering Strait and across the sea to America. But in pursuit is a legendary tracker, the Yakut native Alekhin, who knows every square foot of the icy frontier - and who knows that to trap his quarry he must think like a Sioux.
©1986 Louis L'Amour (P)2010 Random House Audio
Tangential, eclectic, avid listener... favorite book is the one currently in ear.
"Needed a better editor... interesting plot"
Honestly my first Louis L'Amour book and it is his only non-western. Part of it felt a little cheesy and redundant, nothing that a good editor with a red pen couldn't fix in a few hours.The plot was interesting and kept me listening right up to the non-ending end. Probably won't go on my listen to again list... but that said it was an interesting survival story and would make a good movie.
"Last of the Breed"
I have listened and read many of Louis L'Aour's books. In my opinion this is the best of his books. However I must say the ending was written for a sequel that was never written. Be prepared for an amazing ending.
"Excellent, Great entertainment, well written."
I had not realised how good this audio book was until I discovered the next few I tried to listen. Not this one, I was hood from beginning to end and the readers voice was clear. Excellent, Great entertainment, well written. One of the best.
Action adventure
My husband would love this book too.
Avid audible listener for over 10 years.
"A western "indian" story set in Siberia"
As Louis L'amour is known for his "western" books, this book may seem a little out of place. It's not. It's basically a western set in Siberia Russia. The main character is of native American descent and uses his knowledge of the wilderness to survive in Siberia. Knowing that Siberia is larger than the United States, it is slightly farfetched that the Russian officers are able to track Joe Mack as his transverses the entire Asian continent. Time and time again they find him and I kept saying, "you must be kidding". It's similar to finding one person in all of the Canadian wilderness, or millions of square miles. While Joe is escaping he also manages to acquire a " love interest" that even makes it more farfetched. Although a decent listen, all the tromping through the woods gets tedious at times.
"Louis Lamour Fan"
I read this book years ago and have been hoping it would show up on Audible. I've read many of Louis Lamour's books and like the previous reviewer I think this may be his best. It's hard not to think of all the Rambo movies you've seen when reading this book but the main character has less attitude and uses his brains more often than his muscles. Lamour's personal knowledge of survival and tracking techniques as well as history give this book the same feel of authenticity that you'll find in his westerns. If you like adventure I don't think you'll be disappointed.
"The Magician Weaves His Magic Again."
As a L'Amour die-hard I had my doubts about purchasing this book, but my fears were soon alleviated as Louis wove his magic at intertwining the past with the present. Although not a western, this book has much about the Souix Indians, adventure, living off the land in extreme conditions, as the main character Joe Mack treks through Siberia, to escape the Russian military and KGB. No one but Louis L'Amour could write this book, and as usual very good narration by David Stratharin. As said by in a reveiw by another Audible listener this book ends as if there is to be a sequel, I wait "impatiently" for that sequel!
"Enjoyable light entertainment."
I have not read a great deal of Louis L'Amour, but from what I understand, this book has his typical resolution, but not his typical subject (Russians and Indians instead of cowboys and Indians). The book will not cause you to rethink your worldview by any means, but it is enjoyable light entertainment.
Strathairn has the ability to vary his vocals so you usually know which character is speaking even before the narration informs you. He has been in a number of movies (notably, "Good Night, and Good Luck" and "The Bourne Ultimatum", so when you first hear his voice, it may cause you to scratch your head and wonder where you've heard that voice before.
L'Amour's writing style is easy to listen to, and Strathairn does an excellent job of narration, so all in all, it is an excellent package.
"Loved this Book"
I think this is my favorite Louis L'Amour book. Will listed to this more than once. No profanity - like that a lot.
"A Great Listen"
I definitely would listen to this book again. Louis L'Amour is a great writer telling a wonderful story. This isn't a western per se but is a timeless story.
Joe Mack's escape was a very memorable moment in the book. The vastness of the country he escaped into makes you wonder if he truly escaped or if he is just in another type of prison.
Mr. Strathairn has a wonderful voice and uses it to the fullest giving accents to the characters who need it and each one is slightly different. Listening to him tell the story takes you further into the story than if you read it yourself.
Near the end of the story Joe Mack asks a native at the coast to leave his kayak and says in a round about way that he will be taking it. His respectful tone to the native requesting the favor and the fact that he is following the trip of his ancestors was very moving.
Audible initiates the creative imagery whereas television dulls the senses.
"21st Century Western"
I have sixty years of journeys and wild adventures led down paths and through mountains an plains; led by Louis LaMour, Sane Gray that I hope you too will enjoy.
"Compelling story"
This is a story that keeps you listening way after you should be asleep! I wish Louis Lamour had written a sequel though - my only disappointment with this story,
"Cold war thriller"
The story gripped you from the start. Louis L'Amour's American Indian expertise woven into a Cold War iron curtain thriller. Sounds unlikely but really works.
I suppose most Louis L'Amour wilderness books.
The Siberian tracker with the awesome reputation of always finding his man and rarely bringing them back alive......very very scary character.
You can't listen to it all in one sitting as it is about 15 hours long. I did look forward to listening every day and 'heard' it all within a week.
As usual with Louis L'Amour I am amazed there was not a sequel as it was perfectly set up for there to be one....wish there was.
