Well, Luke is allergic to latex a bit and whatever the 2nd control was. Doing a patch test now, but without the waterproof tape on top to avoid multiple reactions. =( More results Wednesday.

Usually allergy to banana will predispose allergy to latex. - Janet:#TeamMonique
Really? That's fascinating! I'll look into that! - Yvonne from FFHound!
:( Sorry, Yvonne. Poor Luke. Are any of your relatives allergic? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
I have a 'tape' allergy which was discovered during my 1st c-section recovery. I'm pretty sure Logan has an allergy to latex also. Maybe John too, but he probably won't get tested. - Yvonne from FFHound!

Setting up another teacher's classroom sucks. It sucks even more knowing I applied for the position and didn't get it :(
I'm sorry. That's an awful feeling. :( - Jed Harris-Keith from iPhone
And why can't they set up their own damn classroom? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Elena, do you have any interest in teaching in a prison GED program? I don't know about the rest of the country, but there's always a need here and it pays more than school districts. - Trish R
Trish: Because my certification is Elementary Ed, I can't do middle, high school or alternative programs for longer than 10 days. - Elena
Stephen: the teacher is still employed at another school and since I have worked as a classroom aide in the grade level all year the task of reorganizing the materials fell to me. It sucks, especially since I know the new teacher (who is actually a former teacher at the school) will just change everything around anyway. - Elena

Today isn't starting off very well... Ants decided to sneak in our back door last night, Logan woke up screaming when his alarm clock went off and I hit him with the door going in to see what was wrong, and I'm keeping him home from school since his coughing has gotten worse over the last few days. I want a do-over!
I hope the cough clears up soon and the ants depart with it. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
I definitely took care of the ants, but I can't STAND them! They came through the tiniest crack under the door. It's heavily guarded now! - Yvonne from FFHound!
Good job! - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone

Why 3D Printing Is Overhyped | Gizmodo UK - http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2013...
Why 3D Printing Is Overhyped | Gizmodo UK
"But like the cupcake or goji berries, 3D printing is severely overhyped -- I should know, it's what I do for a living." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet
"Strength: 3D printed parts are not as strong as traditionally-manufactured parts. [...] In 3D printing, you are building it in layers -- this means that it has laminate weaknesses as the layers don't bond as well in the Z axis as they do in the X and Y plane. This is comparable to a Lego wall -- you place all the bricks on top of each other, and press down: feels strong, but push the wall from the side and it breaks really easily." - Andrew C (✓)
"Speed: Many people say that 3D printing is quick -- this is another omission of a suffix -- this time 'for manufacturing processes'. [...] The notion of 'but it'll get faster in the future' is not necessarily true, as we are limited by the chemical properties of materials such as ABS and PLA -- these materials can only be extruded so fast, and at such a rate before you start to destroy the properties of the part. This is happening with the top-end machines right now for FDM (Fluid Deposition Modelling)." - Andrew C (✓)
"Materials: Generally speaking, you can only print in one material, and this is generally a plastic. Now look around you...how many items are in your room that are made up of a single piece of plastic -- just plastic, nothing else? [...] Most items in the house are made up from multiple materials, and most of them are both metal and plastic. Those two cannot be made together as their melting temperatures are hundreds, if not thousands of degrees apart. I'd not like to smelt in my living room either." - Andrew C (✓)
"A great analogy I once read was the comparison of 3D printers to the bread machine." - Andrew C (✓)
I'm guessing that this is from a consumer 3D printing point of view. They are using 3d printers to build large parts of the next generation of heavy lifting rocket engines using metal based processes. But yes, as they point out, modern manufacturing processes are complex and can't be replicated through a single system such as a plastic 3D printer. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
I've always imagined that the primary benefit of 3D printing (for quantities of more than a handful) would be in producing and accurate prototype (or set of prototypes) which could then be used to create more traditional molding forms for mass production (using more durable materials.) I suppose direct-from-CAD milling machines can do this as well, but producing a 3D prototype... more... - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
My brother Rob bought one. He's still calibrating it. His first project is a replacement lid holder for a saucepan where the knob on top broke. For all the hours he's put into it so far (researching and buying a printer and supplies, assembling and installing it, calibrating -- probably six more hours to go, I'd say, given how warped the current pieces are -- and learning the modeling... more... - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Don't think I'd want a 3D printer, except maybe for printing objects in chocolate. - April Russo

Well, had an interesting stay at the family (formerly my) home last night. I generally crash on a sofa sleeper in the (finished) basement. On my way down the steep carpeted steps, my stocking feet slipped out from beneath me, and I bounced down 4 or 5 steps on my heretofore 'good' hip. I guess the good news is I'll be more 'balanced' now.
'Balanced' as in "both hips now iffy and hurty." - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Do not like. - Friar Ticket to Ride

Ouch :( - Heather
oof. :-( - Fish Are LIES
:( I hope things settle down quickly. - WoH: Professor MOTHRA
Thankfully there don't seem to be any lingering after effects of the fall. I'm surprised because my hip came down really hard on the edge of the step, and then I sort of 'bounced' in quick succession down the remaining steps in exactly the same way. It happened so fast that I couldn't brace myself or try to change position. (Not sure if any other position would've been better anyway. Not really *any* good choices in that scenario.) - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ

I bought the Aria scale. I like that it sends the info automatically to my dashboard, but I don't think the body fat is very accurate. It says I'm obese, I think I have to disagree with that. I might not be skinny, but I'm not obese.
Also, last night, I weighed more, but the body fat % was lower. - Georgia
The reviews are that the Withings scale is more accurate, but in general body fat is highly variable and is probably only useful week to week as an indicator of whether you are losing it. I have the Withings scale and it does connect to the Fitbit site, but it is somewhat hidden now that Fitbit has a competing scale. - Cristo
Yeah, I get wildly different readings from my Aria. Even a few minutes apart. My first few days with it in particular it showed really bizarre results. I think Cristo's right, that it's only useful for showing trends over many many months of measurement. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Thanks Cristo and Stephen. I honestly had a moment this morning when I went crap, am I really obese? Do I just not see it? - Georgia
Apparently the best way to get an accurate reading for body fat % is to get an MRI. Try getting that past your insurance company. :) - Cristo
Cristo: Heh. :) - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Georgia, read some of the Amazon reviews. You're not alone on getting an invalid result out of the box. But try this: weigh yourself first thing in the morning, before eating and drinking. Make sure your feet are dry. Measure three times and take the average. Don't pay any attention to the actual body fat percentage, just the trend. And get your body fat measured at a gym or at your... more... - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
The Aria is very good, for me, in measuring weight, even day to day. The body fat percentages are in the ballpark, and change more frequently than most would like (as Cristo and Stephen said). But I noticed that I dropped from about 27% body fat to under 20%, and had the corresponding weight loss. If I go from 19.6% to 20.3% or back and forth in the space of a few weeks, it's no big deal. - Louis Gray
A few weeks? I can go up or down a percent or two in a few seconds! - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
That's because you are holding a stick of butter or a donut. - Louis Gray
Or possibly that the ability of home scales accurately measuring body fat is unproductive and a waste of time. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
I'll sleep on it. - Louis Gray

Klamath River Overlook. The first time I went there it was so foggy you couldn't see anything, but the weather was much better this time. It's a short drive off of 101 between Eureka and Crescent City, just north of the bridge over Klamath River.

I love that area -- haven't been for a long time. I stayed at the hostel near there twice, and had such a great time hiking in Redwood National Forest. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
If you turn left just before the river, you'll end up on the road you can see in the photo. That's a good one too. For this view though you'll want to turn left a little bit after the river, on Requa Road. - Amit Patel
I love this area; I try to visit at least once a year. I usually stay in McKinleyville. - Amit Patel
I haven't been there since the '80s but I loved that part of CA. We were bike riding from Brookings, OR to LA and it was a helluva way to see it. - Spidra Webster

After getting daughter moved out of her campus dorm/apartment and finishing up her last final yesterday, I drove her home to the Twin Cities. Normally I don't fill up in Eau Claire, waiting until the much cheaper Twin Cities to do so. Not so this time. Prices in the north suburbs were $4.39 yesterday, likely to climb higher today.
Ouch! - LB: #TeamMonique from Android
Why are the gas companies targeting your state? - Janet:#TeamMonique
I know this is nothing compared to European prices, but when you have the crappy intercity passenger (non-auto) transportation system/infrastructure that we have in most of the U.S., it's a shock to the system. An increase of nearly a dollar in about 3 weeks, because of some 'maintenance' at multiple refineries that just happens to coincide with the onset of heightened summer travel? I... more... - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
There's a major refinery in the souther Twin Cities metro that supplies gas to much of Minnesota and western Wisconsin. They're claiming reduced capacity due the fuel mix changeover, but won't disclose any details due to "anti-trust issues." Senator Amy Klobuchar is calling for the Dept. of Energy to review that whole thing. - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Your gas prices made national news. - Janet:#TeamMonique
What are the normal prices there in other cities? $4.09 is the price around here currently. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
It's $3.99 - $4.09 for 87 here. I saw it as high as $4.39 in the Valley. - Anika
When I filled up my tank on Thursday it was $3.94 for 87 (or 89) octane. The previous time I filled up it was $3.54. After the drive to/from the Twin Cities (I'm back in E.C. now) it's likely I'll pay $4.20 or so. (We're not quite up there where Minneapolis is.) I'm just glad I can ride my bike most places that I need to go, and only use the car for out of town trips, etc. - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Also, my Kia Soul averaged 28.3 mpg with a mix of city and highway driving, fully loaded down with daughter's stuff. This equates to about 6 gallons consumed to do the round trip to the Twin Cities. That's about half what I used with my previous vehicle. - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ

Can one just contact Mark Zuckerberg and ask for the Friendfeed code/data/etc? How does this work?
Good luck with that. - tekNico
Still stands. - Andy Bakun
Reasons why FB bought FF in order of priority (pure speculation on my part): 1. Talent acquisition. 2. Technology acquisition. 3. Possibly patent acquisition. 4. As a test bed for trying out different approaches to how the FB news feed could work. 5. Eliminate part of the social media competition and prevent FF from being acquired by Google or Twitter. Andy, they paid $50 million or so for this place. They're not going to give the code away for free. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
I think we can rule out #4 - Greg GuitarBuster
Greg, it certainly didn't pan out that way, but some of the speculation during the time of the purchase asserted that was part of the idea. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
This site obviously has no current use to FB, since it's barely being maintained, so presumably it's mission accomplished and it was worth the $50 million. - Andy Bakun

"What We Mean When We Say 'Race Is a Social Construct'" http://feedly.com/k/12vfXz3
Great piece. I actually agree with the Andrew Sullivan post that Ta-Nehisi Coates links to. Andrew lists several valid ways to refute the dissertation (IQ is meaningless, "race" has many meanings but isn't a simple mapping of categories, that poverty and other factors influence IQ results to a great extent) and points out that trying to suppress the studies instead of refute them gives power to the supremists like Sailer. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

Criticism over psychiatric manual grows - THonline.com: National/World - http://www.thonline.com/news...
"CHICAGO -- In the new psychiatric manual of mental disorders, grief soon after a loved one's death can be considered major depression. Extreme childhood temper tantrums get a fancy name. And certain "senior moments" are called "mild neurocognitive disorder." Those changes are just some of the reasons prominent critics say the American Psychiatric Association is out of control, turning common human problems into mental illnesses in a trend they say will just make the "pop-a-pill" culture worse. Says a former leader of the group: "Normal needs to be saved from powerful forces trying to convince us that we are all sick." At issue is the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, widely known as the DSM-5. The DSM has long been considered the authoritative source for diagnosing mental problems. The psychiatric association formally introduces the nearly 1,000-page revised version this weekend in San Francisco. It's the manual's first major update in nearly 20 years, and a backlash has taken shape in recent weeks:" - Anne Bouey from Bookmarklet
