Good morning and a 
Monday where I’m at. Brother’s cat just settled himself into a napping spot with sun in my room.
Wish I could nap, too. I’ve got to learn to not start reading a new (to me) webcomic at midnight.

Agh, my new shaver that I fell in love with isn’t turning on after it took a couple of hard falls in the shower. It flashes like it’s a low battery even at full. 
I’m hoping that I can reset it by holding the power button down for 5 second, but we’ll see.
Yup, it’s busted even after the reset, and it feels overly warm when I try. Getting a replacement through Amazon, and I’ll make sure that the new one is a tad more safely positioned.
Happy May the Fourth!
Posted the final grades for the class today. I’ll finalize them on Wednesday.
Overall, 1/3 of my class plagiarized. The last couple of weeks were very stressful for the class and I hope they appreciate their grades.
Now I’m able to come up for air. I don’t have a class to worry about until the fall.
Time to get some gear for my toons. I’ve 7 120s since I returned 14-ish months ago. You were all introduced to the new Aik a few weeks back.
We’ll probably adventure into some current dungeons in the next few days. Still apprehensive about Mechagon. I’d love to take my tank in but I don’t want to embarrass myself. Watching videos of battles is one thing… (really want to start a mechagnome)
Hope all is well. As for that lightsaber… very interesting.

What was the olagerism penalty may I ask? F on assignment or for the semester? Or worse. If you can say that is.
I am mentally and physically fried. I had to call the 16 year old for an update on his brother because when I asked my wife this mor j g all j got was I just woke up and haven’t gotten out of bed yet. Nothing past that.
Like seriously you know I am concerned and can’t send me an update?
He seems to be fine btw. Was eating when I called.
Work almost done. Not sure what if anything I will do when I get home.

Hey Mast.
First incident of plagiarism, the learner receives an F for the assignment. Let’s hope that there isn’t a second time. In that case, it is an F for the class. The student has an opportunity to appeal any decision. In that case, an academic integrity committee will review the appeal and decide whether or not the F for the class will stand. I participated in an appeal this morning.
I’ve attended or taught at nearly a dozen colleges and universities. These are all standard for the industry.
Now if you are asking about olagerism… I’ll have to figure out what your fingers are trying to tell me

On the topic of plagiarism, I’m trying to remember if that poster is listed as public domain (I think it was but upon reflection I’m not sure).
At least the roses and Summer sidebar are mine.
Probably the fine art of lager appreciation.
If you don’t mind my asking - what is your field of instruction?
Management. I can be more specific if you’d like to meet in game.
Although I’ve enjoyed teaching culinary arts. It was fun back in 2013 when visiting NO with a friend. An instructor pulled me up to teach the crowd how to make toes of garlic taste like candy. And back in culinary school in '97, I gave a demonstration lecture to the class on pitching beer.

Estimate is in for foam insulation. They said they would give us two prices. One for removal and spray in our garage as well. And one with blocking the garage up above our home and otherwise leaving it the same.
My wife is a smoker and I am not. So she smokes in the garage. The garage gets hot in the summer. So we were lime cool. If it is not that much more we will do the garage as well. Just removal and foam for the garage itself is 3k more. Nope sorry. Garage gets blocked haha.

Thanks, Aik. Just idle curiosity. 
Candy garlic sounds tasty!
really want to get my Tauren Hunter to lvl 30, so he’ll be ready, whenever a guildie does his Maraudon exp runs, but i also dropped mining/engineering for skinning/leatherworking.
i’ve got a Hunter on Standard with the former, but i’ve also got a Night Elf Hunter with it as well on Westfall. my Dwarf Hunter has the latter, as that feels more natural for a Hunter. though i’m debating about this as well. maybe i should consider alchemy instead, but i know how much of a pain that can be at times too. .-.

Mmmm. Two of my favourite foods.
had gyoza and dynamtie sushi while waiting till supper was ready which was fajitas crossed the ocean for this one.
My specialty is in quality and strategic management. I just finished with the capstone course (last necessary class before graduation). I’ve taught a couple of other classes as well.
It’s interesting to read through the forums with my instructor hat on. Fortunately, I’ve trained myself to separate academic expectations from reality. I believe the avatars help. Mast’s creative spellings also make me smile.
Garlic fun: I learned this process from a French chef when I was in the industry 20 years ago. Breakdown and clean a bulb or two of garlic into individual toes. Place them into a saucepan and cover with whole milk. Bring this to a boil. Pour out the milk reserving the garlic. Put the garlic back in the saucepan, cover with whole milk and bring to a boil. Again, pour out the milk reserving the garlic. Perform this process one more time (3 boils total). Let the garlic cool. You can eat them at this point. The enzymes in the milk helped reduce the bitterness without removing flavor. They also help keep you from releasing some ‘under-leg noises.’ Now you want to heat up a saute pan and add the garlic toes with some butter (salt and pepper as desired). Saute until a nice golden brown. Place the garlic on paper towel and let cool. Enjoy. I bet you can’t keep yourself from finishing them off.
