Due to incompetency within our "lack of management" had to cancel my New Orleans trip due to insufficient funding, not that this is an abnormal occurrence around here.  Only travel for me until at least mid-October is a one night trip to Houston in September.

Sheesh!  What a fuct up operation.
What do you expect from a place that lets their IT dept call in due to wetness? Lol
...and that's just the guys.

Princeton HR department: Don't use word 'man'...


The Princeton University HR department has largely wiped the word “man” from its vocabulary.

The relatively new policy in effect at the Ivy League institution spells out the directive in a four-page memo that aims to make the department more gender inclusive.

Instead of using “man,” employees are told to use words such as human beings, individuals or people
Other guidelines? Instead of “man and wife” use spouses or partners. Switch out “man made” with artificial, handmade or manufactured. Don’t use the verb “to man,” as in to work something, instead use to operate or to staff. Throw out workmanlike and replace it with skillful.

The memo goes on to list a variety of occupations that typically include the word “man” in them and offers replacements: business person instead of businessman, firefighter instead of fireman, ancestors instead of forefathers, and so on.

Pretty minor in the big scheme of the mess:

FDA Loses Lawsuit Over Tobacco Labeling Changes

Turns out, if you put a new band on a cigar, it’s still the same cigar after all. Yesterday, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) lost its court fight over whether a change to a label would be considered a new product. Judge Amit Mehta of the D.C. District Court ruled in favor of Altria, Lorillard and Reynolds America—i.e. the three largest American tobacco companies—in a lawsuit regarding whether changes to packaging would deem a tobacco product new and as such make it applicable for substantial equivalence, a process of FDA approval that is expected to cost upwards of $20,000 per individual cigar due to legal and testing fees. Mehta ruled for FDA over whether a quantity change—i.e. the amount of cigars or cigarettes in a package—would qualify as a new product. The agency had said it would count as a new product, something that was upheld in the ruling. As for the packaging changes, the agency has previously stated that it considered any “major” packaging changes to constitute as a new product
Welcome to my world.

She smiled and talked to me all the while I was slobbering.  my eyes were about rack high too!

She was dressed in a tight fitting skirt and blouse looking like the TWA Stewardesses of the 1960's, some kind of sexy.  Sorry to the youngsters that do not know what those looked like but they were hot then and would still be hot now.

Luckily cigar is gender neutral.
And the site owner is also gender neutral so that should help us out some in the public eye.

Great travel cigar lighter and Not much to go wrong with it.

Just when I thought I’d seen every product for stashing survival items on one’s person, I ran across TinderZIP by Exotac.

 It’s a clever little product that not only is an easy-to-install replacement zipper pull, the cord portion also includes a waterproof flammable core that provides a 60 second burn time when lit to help start a fire in the event of an emergency. Just snip the cord, pull out the core and you’re ready to create some heat and light.  Made in the USA, TinderZIP can be added to jackets, bags, tents or just about any item with a zipper.  Available in two colors, black (pictured) and orange, TinderZIP is $8.95 for a package of five. Visit ExoTac for more info.
