Thank You and Good Night.
Lee Anne Wong goes deep behind-the-scenes of the finale, and says goodbye to her role as a culinary producer.
Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets. Far and away the most exciting finale in Top Chef history, it was truly anyone's game. I haven't seen the episode yet, so I am writing from memory, the Wong point of view. The producers, Tom, and I set the rules for the final challenge. Because of time constraints, Bravo had only wanted the chefs to do a three-course meal, with one of the courses being a set mystery box and one of the other courses HAD to be dessert. We managed to convince them to make it four courses by adding the childhood memory twist, hence the Moms. Which by the way, reality TV gold; one mom, two brothers, one prize ... and the love between Yukon and his mom was enough to make me cry.
After Brix, the next morning Team Culinary and I headed to Long Meadow Ranch at 5 a.m. to pick up all of the food leftover from the previous challenge with our cube truck, the Culinary Van (which we appropriately named "Vanischewitz") and a refrigerated truck. Not fun. What WAS amusing to me was the fact that we would be filming the final challenge up in Healdsburg at Cyrus Restaurant. Chef Douglas Keane had been part of the Napa round table that sent me home. When I had scouted Cyrus back in September, it took us both a few minutes to realize this, but gave me a good excuse to give him a little light-hearted ribbing (Cindy Pawlcyn got her fair share during Masters). We caravanned it an hour up to Healdsburg, and began the painstaking process of building out another kitchen and pantry for the chefs. Chef Doug and his crew had cleared their kitchen of pretty much everything and we loaded in all of our equipment, all of the food from Long Meadow, rental plates, and just about everything else they could possibly need for the final cook-off. All of the produce was in cardboard boxes that were falling apart, so we had to style all of the food out in appropriate sized Cambros and lexans. It really did take us almost nine hours to build out the kitchen. I had worked with their sous-chef, Amos Watts, to order a wide variety of proteins and some extra ingredients, which were not on hand. But everything else I had sourced at Whole Foods or from Long Meadow.
There was a bit of debate over the mystery box and whether or not the chefs would be required to use all or just some of the ingredients in the box. We agreed that if we put challenging but sensible ingredients in the box they would have to all utilize all of it, but they would have access to everything else in the pantry. Amos had let me know that matsutake mushroom season was in full swing, and me, just having been in Japan at the end of the summer when the matsutake season was just starting there (I ate many, many mushrooms), jumped at the chance to feature these in the mystery box. I consulted with Tom on my ideas for the box. He suggested we put two seafood proteins in the box that the contestants would be required to use. Dungeness Crab season was in full swing in Washington and Oregon, so by the time this aired I knew it would be Dungeness season in Northern Cali. We tried to get sand dabs but they were not available so we settled on local rockfish. I added Meyer lemons, kabocha squash, and a fragrant and slightly sweet herb, anise hyssop to the mix, with Tom's approval that the chefs could make some very interesting dishes out of those six ingredients. Anyone who thinks that those ingredients don't go well together should try watching Chopped and just be happy I didn't put string cheese into the box.
To add to the chaos, this time we brought back ALL of the contestants, as we filmed the reunion the day after the finale. Everyone was staying at the Meritage, which is kinda in the middle of nowhere, so I get back from set one night and all of the ex-contestants are sitting in the lobby bar getting fairly shitfaced and being less than inconspicuous. We don't actually tell them what's going on either, and every season we change up the twist. They kept asking me what was going to happen ("We all had to bring our knives...") as I chugged my Maker's on the rocks, and I told them it was so they could stab each during the reunion show. Over the years, I have enjoyed getting to know the contestants, though I am not allowed to be friendly with them during the show. Richard Blais had been under the misconception that I "hated" him, which is hilarious because it is so far from the truth; I was just not allowed to answer the billion questions Richard would always throw at me during rules (I don't hate you Blais; I hated the fact that you always tried to trick me into revealing details about the challenge). I thought it was great the way we handled the sous-chef situation this time around. The producers had asked me, "Is it fair if Chef No.1 pulls knives with two contestants who had been eliminated early in the game vs. Chef No. 2 who may pull Jen and Eli as sous chefs?" First, I am sad I never got to torch the knife block in the parking lot. Secondly, (here it is again) this is Top Chef. I explained that part of being a Top Chef is managing your staff and training your cooks. In real life, not all of the cooks on your staff are all-stars so you have to work with you got. Misogynist Mike was REALLY pissed at this year's twist, as I think he automatically assumed that he would be assisting someone, since he was one of the longer-lasting contestants. The challenge for Kevin, Michael, and Bryan would be figuring out who to utilize for Day One and who to use on Day Two.
The table full of restaurateurs was interesting. During dinner some of them got full on drunk and a little loose-lipped at the table (well, maybe one person specifically). I'll give you my opinion on food porn, as I am not sure how the final edit turns out. We began with the childhood course. I have no idea what the story is but here's my taste verdict: Kevin's take on fried chicken was whimsical and fun, but overall I had wished for more substance in the dish (or more chicken skin). Mike V.'s shrimp and broccoli dish was interesting, if only for the fact that he had brought dehydrated broccoli florets with him, which I think he baked off to a crisp brown. Now, while I understand the flavor/texture he was going for, and the brown broccoli to some may be appealing, his preparation was very risky because the first thing I thought of when I tasted it was there is no way the judges wouldn't reference CJ's burnt broccoli surprise during the airplane challenge. Other than that, it was a tribute to an ingredient that you will rarely find on any fine dining menu (chefs are pretty particular about distinct flavors such as broccoli and green pepper....), and the spot prawn was perfectly cooked. I applaud Bryan for using the sardines. I love fresh sardines and I ordered some, alongside more glamorous seafood such as uni, abalone, lobster, scallops, and turbot, secretly praying that someone would use them. His dish was beautifully composed, but clearly lacked salt and the acidity needed to balance the rich flavors of the sardine. To me, it was a draw between the three dishes, none having swept me off my feet.
Next came the mystery box course. Kevin's preparation was certainly eye-appealing, until you tried to eat the matsutake. In Japan, fresh matsutakes are traditionally shaved thin or cut small due to their texture. Kevin took whole matsutakes and cut them in half and pan seared them. The end result tells me that Kevin did not try the mushroom before he sent it out. It went far beyond "toothsome." His crab broth however, was delicious and I nearly licked the bowl dry. Bryan's fish was perfectly cooked, but I had a very hard time making out any other flavors in his dish because it was muddied by the uni and coconut flavor. I also wish there had been more of a textural contrast, as the soft poached fish was served over a puree with soft uni on top. I agree that Mike's was the winner overall. He cured the fish with konbu seaweed and shaved the mushrooms thin and fried them until crispy. The Meyer lemon confit/puree on the plate added the right amount of sweetness and acidity to balance the dish, and the tomato rounded out the palate exercise with its umami. Me? I would've made a clarified mushroom-crab broth, pan seared the rock fish, made a warm crab salad scented with the anise hyssop and Meyer lemon zest to serve on top, with shaved matsutake mushrooms and finely diced kabocha squash in the broth, with some form of crispy kabocha squash on top.
The meat course would be telling. This was the one course where the chefs really had free reign to do what they wanted. Bryan's venison was near perfect. Contrary to what I know a certain diner had complained about, I thought his dish was beautifully composed and the flavors were well balanced. Mike's dish was innovative and well-executed; it is a dish he has on his menu at the Langham. He had brought these little mushroom-shaped molds with him (for making chocolates and candies) and cooked Sicilian pistachios in a rich stock to make them tender. The squab was a wonderful medium rare and the mushroom chicharron he made added texture and shape to the dish. And this is when I knew Kevin would not make the final two; he had brought his own home-cured pork belly/bacon but failed to cook it long enough. It's fine that pork belly is fatty, and when cooked properly, it'll melt in your mouth, as animal fat should. But undercooked pork fat, as it was presented by Kevin, not so much. I liked that he went for broccoli also (what are the chances?) but his dish was unsuccessful, falling victim to a second time to under-braised meat.
Dessert is always the crux for our chefs. I relatively hate making desserts (unless it involves bacon and Maker's Mark), but well-rounded chefs — and I learned this the hard way on my season — should have pastry skills. Bryan's white chocolate dulce de leche cheesecake with fig sorbet gave me a cavity. I found it to be cloyingly sweet, and though the fig sorbet was very tasty, it had too much stabilizer in it, which I could feel on my palate. It was received well by the judges though and artfully presented in classic BV style. Mike's spiced chocolate sponge with caramel filling was definitely borderline too salty, and trust me, I like salt in my desserts, a lot of it. I thought the use of savory ingredients like butternut squash and pepitas made for a nice texture and flavor combination. Mike's cake came out a little over-baked and dry, but you can see what he was aiming for: a combination of hot/cold, cake vs. caramel filling, spice vs. chocolate, and salt (too much of it) vs. sweet. Had he been successful, it's a brilliant dessert that just needed some slight tweaking. The final nail in the coffin for Kevin was the dessert. I've been doing bacon chocolate for years, before it became trendy, ask my friends (I fed Padma, Andy and the crew their first bacon chocolate cakes during the Season 2 finale in Hawaii). It's a very careful balance between the two flavors and you need to hit the smoke vs. sweet vs. bitter vs. salt factor just right. Every time I eat some bacon chocolate nonsense I feel the need to give my two cents because so many places are not getting it right in my opinion. It's about what percent chocolate (semi-sweet vs. bittersweet) you use, combined with where you are getting your bacon from (some bacon is smokier than others). Kevin, made the fatal error of using hickory smoke powder in his dessert, which is acrid and too much of it in anything is like eating a mouth full of wood chips and ash. Hickory smoke powder is one of those fun food powders I keep with the tech ingredients, and judiciously applied, you can do some pretty cool stuff with it (on the simplest level: make smoked mash potatoes without altering the color as you would if you traditionally smoked the potato flesh). Such is the point of molecular gastronomy: to improve the upon the end result through non-traditional technique. The bacon was enough and beyond not needing to add it all, Kevin had a really heavy hand with the smoke powder. The tiny caramelized banana was not enough to draw away from the chocolate skid mark on the plate and the candied bacon was not evenly chopped. No one's a fan of chocolate and bacon more than I am, but I got real sad when I tasted this one because I knew it would seal Kevin's fate.
Yukon Cornelius, as I affectionately referred to him all season, is a great young talent. Kevin has everything to be proud of; this season having far and away the most talented chefs to date, he stayed true to his cuisine and style of cooking up against formidable opponents such as the Voltaggio Machine and fine dining chefs like Jen and Mike Isabella. Beyond being sweet natured and confident, I truly enjoyed eating his food all season. Angie, Weezy, and I were eternally grateful for better-tasting food porn.
Bryan Voltaggio, what else can I say? All the ladies on production loved Bryan (thump thump thump thump ... the sound of beating hearts) for many reasons, but primarily because he was always courteous, a gentleman, and really the easiest to work with of the entire cast. While I hope this experience brought Mike and Bryan closer together, I know it must've been heartbreakingly bitter to lose to his brother in the end. However, Bryan's already got his own restaurant, which is a huge measure of success out in the real world. I think Bryan's food is incredibly artistic and forward-thinking. Generally speaking, Frederick, MD doesn't make you think "Culinary Metropolis," but Bryan is truly a gem and I view him as a frontlines man in my generation of modern American chefs, in addition to his already accumulated accolades. And that's why this show rocks. What incredible talent, Frederick; you are lucky indeed.
Probably the biggest rockstar we have ever had compete on the show, Michael Voltaggio. I first met Mike when I scouted the SLS/Bazaar for our episode on Masters. Slim Shady was a hospitable host and I made him bacon chocolate cookies the day we filmed there. He was in service until 2 a.m. the night before and was there at 5 a.m. to help me and the girls load in.
Let me be clear: Michael was the reason Bazaar had just won four stars in the Los Angeles Times, and the restaurant was jam-packed every night. He had already cooked for me on the several occasions I dined there before that challenge, and I knew he was a badass in the kitchen. Bazaar has an open kitchen and I am constantly observing chefs in their natural environment, scrutinizing how he/she interacts with their crew, watching how they run service, interact with the front of the house, etc. Michael had a full grip on his kitchen then, and I dined at the Langham only a week after he had taken over as Chef de Cuisine. I was setting up an event there for Bravo and it was pure coincidence that he was working there. He gave me a walk-through of his kitchen and I could see that his cooks were excited to be learning new techniques from him and working with new ingredients, as Michael had completely overhauled the menu and integrated his signature style in only seven days. All season we saw his best, without compromise, and while early on Tom had genuinely wanted to dislike Mike's inclination towards "molecular gastronomy," he simply could not deny Mike's innovation and talent. Mike takes risks, constantly, which makes him a groundbreaker in our generation. Yes, most of these modern techniques have crossed the Atlantic, having been brought to life in Europe, predominantly Spain and France. But in the hands of American chefs, there are only a numbered few who have got it right and apply the techniques sensibly, and even then, some argue it doesn't work. The difference between Michael and every cook that's currently coming out of culinary school and working at these four-star tech restaurants is that he is rooted in classical technique and knows how to make a roast without a recirculator; Most of these young, impressionable cooks I refer to as "trying to dunk before you can do a lay-up." Now would I want to eat his style of cuisine every night? Hell no. But like the meal Jeremy Fox cooked for me and my crew at Ubuntu, Michael's food is undeniably exciting and thought-provoking. Having already won a Michelin star at such a young age is rares and I once told him that he was the future of food because of his willingness to take risks. I look forward to the next time I see Mike, probably on the West Coast. Harold will always be the No. 1 Top Chef in my heart, but damn. I can't wait to see what Mike Voltaggio is doing one year, five years, 20 years from now. Congratulations, Michael.
And I leave you guys here. Words cannot express the wide range of emotions I dealt with when coming to the decision to leave the show and go back to being a chef. I had been working at The French Culinary Institute the entire time I was producing the show, but it got to be too much time on the road so I left the school in January to go on the road for the next five months to film finale, Masters, and then Season 6. It has been such an incredible part of my life the past four years, if not all-consuming. I have gotten to travel and live all over the country, work with a crew that became like my family, meet so many talented chefs and marquee industry players, and help build an Emmy Award-winning pop culture phenomenon that has no signs of going away any time soon as the food industry continues its renaissance around the world. But this year I missed the stove. I missed having a kitchen of my own, and thus the decision to get back to it. I signed on for the show four years ago, not knowing at all what to expect, only hoping for the outcome and bizarre dream of winning that first season. While I didn't win, and like every other contestant kicked off the show, it took me a while to process and get past this, I am not blind to the fact that I think in many ways I did win. I've got a killer resume now. I never wanted to have my own place until I knew I was ready. Most chefs who try it prematurely end in failure. It's like getting married. And one day it just dawned on me that it's the only thing that's gonna make me happy at this point. I'm ready. I want to feed you. I also want to thank all the readers and fans for your input and support the past four years. Hopefully someday they'll let me back on the show as talent and not as a producer, though contractually I'll never be allowed to compete on the show ever again. I have some very exciting projects coming up and currently focusing on developing a business plan for my own restaurant(s). Watch what happens. Love you guys. Xo- Lee Anne

Free Radio is a television show, created by Lance Krall and Rory Rosegarten. The show originated on VH1, but has also played on Comedy Central, and Super Channel. It stars Lance Krall, prominent for his role on The Joe Schmo Show, and Anna Vocino, who also starred with Krall on The Lance Krall Show. The show focuses on a dysfunctional radio station, KBOM. Krall plays a moronic intern turned moronic DJ when KBOM's regular shock jock, Rip Rebel, defects to satellite radio. Lance eventually gets his own show entitled Moron in the Morning. Real celebrities guest star as themselves with Lance, who often either does not realize who they are or mixes them up with other celebrities on the air. Most of the dialogue is improvised.

Television, Regency Enterprises and the Canadian company Nelvana for Warner Bros. Studios. The show, which aired for one season on American Broadcasting Company, continues the adventures of the orca Willy and Jesse, the boy who freed him from captivity as shown in the film. In retrospect, the series also anticipates multiple plot elements of the film sequel, Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home, released the following summer.

Radio Free Roscoe was a Canadian television series filmed in Toronto, Ontario. The show was produced by Decode Entertainment, and it first aired on 1 August 2003 on Family, in Canada. It has also been dubbed in French in the province of Quebec and aired on VRAK.TV. The show was later aired on The N in the United States, where the show received funding for a second season. The series ended on 27 May 2005 because The N decided to stop funding the show, and Family, along with Decode Entertainment, could not fill the gap in the production budget. The show was shown on Family until 2007, when it was replaced. In early 2008, The N began rebroadcasting reruns. The pilot was first filmed in New Jersey, with an entirely different cast. Then, the show was going to be based in Nutley, New Jersey and was titled Radio Free Nutley. The show was never picked up until Decode Entertainment decided to move production to Toronto and change the cast and title of the show. However, the show was still set in suburban New Jersey.
Home Free is an American sitcom that aired on ABC from March 31, 1993 until July 2, 1993. It was a starring vehicle for Matthew Perry, who at this point was making his mark in Hollywood, and was just over a year away from his landmark role as Chandler Bing on Friends. Among the well-known co-stars were Marian Mercer and Diana Canova. The series was created by Tim O'Donnell and Richard Gurman.
Free for All is a 2003 animated series that aired on Showtime. The series was created by Brett Merhar.

Also, he lives next door to Paula, the love of his life and the attractive girl next door. Clay Zeeman is his somewhat abusive so called "best friend" who won millions of U.S. dollars after he faked an accident at a taco restaurant. He has a drug-addicted ferret for a pet, and he's named Angus. Omar is his warm Indian friend, who is just as innocent as Johnny himself is. He may be even stupider on some level. The show was developed for television by Merriwether Williams, the head writer for seasons 1-4 of Spongebob Squarepants. WIlliams was also the show runner and head writer. There were seven episodes that aired over the summer of 2003, the last ending on a cliff-hanger. However, despite favorable reviews from critics, the show had very low ratings, mainly due to poor promotion and the fact that the original source material was not a huge success in the first place. Showtime cancelled the animated skein shortly after the last episode aired. The show has since fallen into extreme obscurity. No DVD/VHS/Laser Disc release has been announced yet. The entire series is available on iTunes and Amazon.com.

Betting the NFL: Josh Freeman will boost Vikes; Texans are upset special
Last week, with the oddsmakers giving Jacksonville 27-plus points, even against powerhouse Denver, taking the Jaguars was about as sure a thing as can be when betting the NFL. No matter how bad they may be, teams will respond to something as disrespectful as a 27-point spread. The Jaguars did just that and covered.
This week, we have changes going on that will make some teams more competitive than they have been in recent weeks.
The biggest change this week is quarterback Josh Freeman starting for Minnesota against the Giants. While Freeman hasn't been a superstar, he brings a strong arm and is someone who can consistently get the ball downfield to receiver Greg Jennings. This could also be Freeman's last hurrah as a starter. He likely knows it, and at least this week, should respond with a big effort. I like the Vikes to cover.
A quarterback change is also taking place with the Houston Texans, and this one is really intriguing. Undrafted QB Case Keenum makes his first career start in place of injured Matt Schaub (ankle), who has been struggling this season.
Keenum will have his hands full against a tough Kansas City defense, but if the Texans' offensive line can give Keenum some time, he has the talent to click with Arian Foster coming out of the backfield and receiver Andre Johnson to produce some big-time stats.
Keenum can throw the ball. As the University of Houston quarterback, he was the NCAA's all-time leader in career passing yardage (19,217) and touchdown passes (155). In the preseason, he completed 43 of 63 passes for 482 yards and three TDs and no interceptions.
Maybe the Chiefs win, but I won't be surprised to see the Texans cover.
Sunday's Games
New England at Jets (+3): Rob Gronkowski is expected back and Tom Brady will take advantage of it. Nowak's pick: Patriots 24-17.
San Diego at Jacksonville (+7): Philip Rivers to Keenan Allen all day here. Nowak's pick: Chargers 33-17.
Houston at Kansas City (-6): See above. Upset special. Nowak's pick: Texans 23-20.
Cincinnati at Detroit (-2): Lions are 2-0 ATS at home this season. Nowak's pick: Lions 27-20.
Buffalo at Miami (-7): I think the Bills' run game keeps this one closer than it probably should be. Nowak's pick: Dolphins 24-20.
Chicago at Washington (Pick'em): Bears QB Jay Cutler has been on a roll and should pick apart the Redskins' secondary. Nowak's pick: Bears 30-24.
Dallas at Philadelphia (-3): Stay away from this one. Edge to the Eagles at home. Nowak's pick: Eagles 27-23.
St. Louis at Carolina (-7): Cam Newton will be a tough test for the Rams on the ground and through the air. Nowak's pick: Panthers 27-17.
Tampa Bay at Atlanta (-7): The Falcons are still banged up, and as a result, I think the Bucs get their first win. Tampa Bay can control this game with Doug Martin, who should have his best game of the season. Nowak's pick: Buccaneers 23-20.
San Francisco at Tennessee (+3): While the Titans' offense isn't worth writing home about, the defense is decent and should keep this close. Nowak's pick: 49ers 20-17.
Cleveland at Green Bay (-10): The Packers are without key players on both sides of the ball, while the Browns have been solid on offense and defense. Too many points here. Nowak's pick: Packers 27-24.
Baltimore at Pittsburgh (-2): The road team is 8-1-1 ATS in the last 10 matchups of these two fierce rivals. Nowak's pick: Ravens 20-17.
Denver at Indianapolis (+6): The marquee game of the weekend as Peyton Manning returns to Indianapolis. This is a game where the pointspread should have been 27 as Manning will take no prisoners. Nowak's pick: Broncos 49-20.
Monday's Game
Minnesota at Giants (-3): See above. Nowak's pick: Vikings 27-17.

Thanks for an amazing Kickstarter campaign! The next chapter of 3D printing is just beginning.
Pre-order your Form 1 at Formlabs.com
Read about the Form 1 on:
engadget Wired TechCrunch boingboing core77 Xconomy Make: The Verge The Boston Globe Fast Company
Are you frustrated that low-end 3D printers don't have the quality to make the true beauty of your designs real? Do you dream of having the power and resolution of a truly professional machine on your desktop? We've created an easy-to-use system that rivals the output of high-end printers at a fraction of the cost.
Formlabs is disrupting 3D printing.
Our reason for starting this project is simple: there are no low-cost 3D printers that meet the quality standards of the professional designer. As researchers at the MIT Media Lab, we were lucky to experience the best and most expensive fabrication equipment in the world. But, we became frustrated by the fact that all the professional-quality 3D printers were ridiculously expensive (read: tens of thousands of dollars) and were so complex to use. In 2011, we decided to build a solution to this problem ourselves, and we are now ready to share it with the world.
High resolution belongs on your desktop.
We've been hard at work for over a year, and with your help, we're ready to take the Form 1 into full-fledged production. By supporting this effort, you'll be the first to get your hands on an amazing 3D printer AND help usher in a new era of 3D printing - an era in which your creative output is no longer limited by price or dauntingly complex machines.
The Form 1 will change creative design.
We've gone to extraordinary lengths to design a complete 3D printing experience:
- The Form 1 printer is engineered to produce high resolution parts with the touch of a button
- Form software is intuitive and simple to use so you can spend less time setting up prints and more time designing
- The Form Finish post-processing kit keeps your desktop organized so that you can easily put the finishing touches on your masterpiece
Read on for more details on what you'll help bring into the world (and onto your desktop) if you support this effort.
Hardware - The Form 1:
For most designers, the extruded plastic (i.e. FDM) of low-end printers is simply not capable of the high resolution and quality surface finish necessary for professional work. So, we decided to go straight for the real deal: a stereolithography printer we call the Form 1.
Stereolithography (SL) is the gold standard for accuracy and resolution in the 3D printing world, reaching layer thicknesses and feature sizes that are worlds ahead of what is possible with FDM. The process is pretty straightforward - a laser is used to draw on the surface of a liquid plastic resin that hardens when exposed to a certain wavelength of light. The laser draws and hardens a layer at a time until the entire model is built. It's simple, reliable, and quiet.
Unfortunately, SL is traditionally one of the most expensive 3D printing processes. With pricey lasers and high-precision optical components, SL 3D printers can easily cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Until now. Check out these pictures of parts made with the Form 1 as compared to a currently available FDM printer:
After a great deal of research, engineering, and experimentation, we've figured out how to do it at a much, much lower cost, making this premium technology available to everyone.
The results are amazing: the Form 1 can print layers as thin as 25 microns (0.001 in) with features as small as 300 microns (0.012 in) in a build volume of 125 x 125 x 165 mm (4.9 x 4.9 x 6.5 in). This means you can print complex geometries with the exquisite details and beautiful surface finish that will make your creations stand out.
Form print software:
Great hardware is only half the battle. We painstakingly designed our Form software to have a simple, intuitive user experience that streamlines the process of importing .STL models from any 3D CAD package. Generating smart support structures for complex geometries and sending jobs to the printer is as easy as a few clicks.
A key advantage of the Form software is the ability to precisely generate thin, breakable support structures that serve their purpose during printing but are easily removed afterward. Test users have delightfully compared this part removal to a feeling almost like separating Velcro. You can finally print those designs with crazy overhangs!
When the Form 1 is released, it will come with our first material - a neutral matte gray that is great for look-and-feel models, standalone parts, or even as a base color for painting.
After a successful launch (thanks to your support!), we will continue development of an entire palette of materials for your printer. A variety of colors, transparency, flexibility, and even burnout capability for lost wax casting processes are all possible with SL.
Accessories - Form Finish kit:
With any 3D printing process, there are key finishing steps to get your print into its final and ready-to-use form. With SL, each part comes out of the printer with a small amount of liquid resin on its surface.
We've designed the Form Finish kit - a finishing tray and accessories set to assist you and keep your workspace clean and organized during this process.
After printing, all you need to do is remove the build platform from the printer, set it into the tray, snap the model off its supports, and use the rinsing basket to clean the print for final use. Check out our website for step by step photos!
We are ready for full production with your support.
So where are we in this whole process? We've:
- Formed an awesome team in Boston, Montreal, and London
- Engineered the system to be mass-manufactured
- Built and tested 7 generations of prototypes
- Tested a wide range of material formulations
- Written and optimized thousands of lines of code
- Tested a production run of alpha units
We're nearly ready to set up full-scale manufacturing to get your Form 1 delivered as soon as possible. We take this last crucial step seriously, and we'll need a lot of support to do the job right. That's why we've turned to Kickstarter to get the production lines up and running!
If you decide to pitch in, you'll get a discount and be one of the first to have our product on your desktop. But more importantly, you'll play a huge part in starting this revolution in 3D printing by providing your feedback and creating amazing things with the Form 1. We can't wait to see what you can design!
What do the Gyrocube and T-Shirt rewards look like?
They look like this:
Spiffy, eh?

Risks and challenges
Similar to many Kickstarter projects, we face several key risks and challenges in sparking this revolution in 3D printing. The primary risks for us include:
To achieve the level of simplicity in user experience that we have, we have to design and engineer a very complex system. We have taken two key steps to ensure our engineering success. 1) We have formed an amazing team of engineers and designers, and 2) we test our printers with an obsession for perfection. In the last year, we have built 7 generations of prototypes, a production run of alpha machines, we will have a run of beta machines with significant user testing, and we keep enormous amounts of data to guide our future work.
Many Kickstarter campaigns can encounter problems when taking their prototypes to production. This includes issues finding suppliers and engineering products for mass-production. Smooth execution is absolutely essential to overcoming such risks. We take this lesson seriously and have been working for months negotiating with suppliers, testing component quality, and building a team that can execute on our promises. Our plans are nearly in place, and we now mainly require the resources to execute them.
Finding the right people is a challenge for any endeavor. Success in 3D printing requires a team of talented, passionate, and motivated designers, engineers, and entrepreneurs. We have already formed a truly awesome (and fun!) team, but we will have to bring in more Formlings to realize this dream. In fact, we are actively looking for new members to join Formlabs and hit the ground running! Check out our website for more information.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

A hot dog for only a dollar? Don't make me holler! Yes, despite its reputation for being an extremely expensive city New York City can be surprisingly cheap to grab quick eats while on the go round the bustling streets of Manhattan, like this dollar hot dog stand - one of ten that line the block of 34th Street alongside Macy's between Broadway and Seventh Avenue. Welcome to another installment in the weekly New York State of Mind Amoeblog series! In this post, I'll run down some other hella cheap eats in NYC, plus give an overview of the many cool ice skating rinks, museums, art on exhibit, shows, and concerts to come in the week ahead.
As well as the inexpensive hot dog stands that are dotted around the city, there are endless halal food stands where you can get a filling feed for a steal. For example, there is one right outside the Trader Joe's on 14th Street near Union Square where you can get a tasty gyro sandwich (chicken, lamb, or veggie) plus soda or water for just $4, or a plate of meat and veggies with rice plus drink for $5. More healthy, cheap eating can be had by going inside Trader Joe's for an apple, banana, and small bottle of water for about a dollar (just like in Cali). There are also lots of sidewalk food stands around Manhattan that sell hot pretzels or hot roasted nuts. Typically, a bag of roasted nuts goes for $1.25 to $2 a bag. Then there are oodles of hella cheap pizza joints all around the midtown and downtown areas of Manhattan, such as the 2 Bros Pizza chain, where you can get a slice for only a dollar or two slices plus a soda for $2.75. Sure, it is not the thickest, greatest pizza nor is it the healthiest food, but if you are hungry and on a budget then this is a great quick fix to satisfy your tummy.

There is a certain grace in the way a silk ribbon swirls in the wind. It is that elegance and lightness that inspired the design of the Tissot T-Wave. The curves of the case and lugs follow the harmonious lines formed by the fluid movement of a ribbon. The pure dial features refined details such as hands resembling skeletonised leaves and a teardrop index set with white or black mother-of-pearl at 12 o'clock. The Tissot T-Wave is a piece of jewellery that can be worn at any occasion, adding a touch of sophistication to a daily outfit or complimenting a cocktail dress for a special occasion.

The Charlesmark Hotel sits right on the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Boylston Street, but if you're thinking you'll book a room and plan a party, you're too late — rooms fill up a year in advance for Marathon Monday (April 15 this year). Otherwise, this skinny-as-a-supermodel (or elite runner) boutique hotel is a good, budget-friendly choice if you're planning a weekend escape from the suburbs or setting up out-of-town guests.
You can snag a room here for as little as $99 (typically, $149-$279), not a bad deal considering the fabulous Copley Square location, with all the temptations of Newbury Street just a few steps away. The outdoor patio, facing Boylston Street, offers prime people-watching. Of the hotel's 40 guest rooms, the standard rooms (with a full-size bed) are a snug 140 to 180 square feet, while
the queen rooms offer a tad more space at 260-325 square feet. The contemporary-style, mostly custom-made furnishings are designed to maximize space, so it feels a bit like being in a cruising yacht. Free Wi-Fi adds to the value.
The room rate includes a continental breakfast with bagels from nearby Finagle a Bagel and doughnut sticks from Dunkin', plus coffee and fresh fruit, but there's no room service — for that, you can order in from 50-plus restaurants, or just head next door to Bangkok Blue for Thai. Fancy an adult beverage? No problem: There's a martini bar-lounge in the front of the house. If you're the type who would choose value and location over fancy and frills, the Charlesmark is your place.
Charlesmark Hotel
655 Boylston St., 617-247-1212, www.charlesmarkhotel.com. Rooms $99-$279.

Sony is breaking with tradition tonight and unveiling its next PlayStation video game console well ahead of the E3 video game conference in June.
We're not expecting to get much info about the so-called PlayStation 4 beyond basic specs, content partnerships, and a few demos of next-generation games.
But here's what people have been saying about the PlayStation 4 so far:
Streaming Games
According to The Wall Street Journal, the PlayStation 4 will let you stream games over the Internet, meaning you won't need to use a disc. The streaming feature will likely be used for older PlayStation games at first.
Games On Discs
Most games will still run on a regular disc. The WSJ also reports that Sony considered letting all users download games online, but the games were too large and there was a concern many users wouldn't have a speedy Internet connection.
Touchpad Controller
Last week, a photo of an early PlayStation 4 prototype controller leaked. The controller looked very similar to the PlayStation 3 controller, but it had a touchpad on the front.
Apps And Content
Many are expecting Sony to focus on media partnerships with the PlayStation 4. That means playing up streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Sony's own Crackle plus letting users download or rent other video content. Sony also expected to make some sort of social gaming announcement, so don't be surprised if the company announces Facebook or Twitter integration.
How much will it cost?

Fulton Animal Shelter More than Half Way Funded
FULTON - City officials announced on Tuesday, the Garrett Animal Shelter is more than 60% funded and they are optimistic about breaking ground as early as next spring.
Fulton Public Information Officer Darin Wernig said, "Right now we are at 63% of our goal which is $250,000. The goal, the mayor said was to get this money raised by 2014 and so we aren't even into 2013 yet, and we already have more than half of our goal, so it looks like we are definitely going to be able to get this done and make it a reality."
Wernig said, "The current Fulton Animal Shelter was originally designed to just be a temporary solution maybe 10-15 years ago, but over the years other priorities have come up and other things have taken more precedents then a new animal shelter and so we are still in the position were we are using what is essentially a former bathhouse and a swimming pool which was built about 30 years ago."
But thanks to donations and fundraising, the shelter is more than half way to reaching its goal.
About two weeks ago, the city started clearing trees off of Industrial Drive where crews will build the new shelter. The shelter will be about 5,800 square feet and will be able to house 40 dogs and 20 cats. The new shelter has several perks compared to the current location.
"It will be a more modern facility. We will have more space for the employees to work, more space for the animals to be kept and it'll just be a cleaner, more friendlier environment," said Wernig.
According to city officials some advantages to the new animal shelter include:
- house more animals
- able to hold animals longer which increases the chance of being adopted
- provide a safer and friendlier environment for animals and staff
- increase working space for shelter employees
- decrease risk of disease for staff, visitors, and animals as sick dogs and cats will have separate quarantine rooms
- provide a better bonding environment for potential adoptees which will increase adoption rates
The new shelter will be built between Business Route 54 and Westminster Avenue. The city encourages anyone who would like to donate to the shelter to buy raffle tickets or bricks that can be engraved. Raffle tickets can be purchased at Fulton City Hall, Garrett Animal Shelter or at the Kingdom of Callaway Chamber of Commerce through December 31 for only $1.

Louis Armstrong and His Hot Seven
Recorded May 14, 1927
Track Time 2:59
Written by Frank Biggs
Recorded in Chicago
Louis Armstrong, trumpet, vocal; John Thomas, trombone; Johnny Dodds, clarinet; Lil Armstrong, piano; Johnny St. Cyr, banjo; Pete Briggs, tuba; Baby Dodds, drums
Originally released on Okeh 83519
Currently available on CD: Both the JSP and Sony Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven boxes have it (I like the JSP better but the Sony has much better packaging if you go for that sort of thing)
Available on Itunes? Yes
We have reached the conclusion, the last Hot Seven! And lucky me, it's one that I had written about in 2009 so if you don't mind, I'm going to use that piece as the basis for this one because it allows me to finish this series by reiterating some of my favorite arguments. I like that the Hot Seven ends with something humorous. It's easy to get swept up in the "this is ART" argument when discussing Louis's 1920s work, especially the Hot Seven: they're a pretty serious bunch. Don't get me wrong, the music is often joyous as can be but except for the good-natured scat vocal on "Keyhole Blues," the almost-parody on "Twelfth Street Rag" (which wasn't initially released) and Louis's pleading vocal on "Gully Low Blues," the Hot Seven is all about the instrumental jazz these musicians created. If you only knew the Hot Sevens when it came to Louis Armstrong's 1920s output, you might be able to believe the whole "artist-in-the-20s turns into clown-in-the-50s" argument.
But then you come to "That's When I'll Come Back To You," a neglected Hot Seven outing that showcases the "entertainer" side of Louis from the same period when his instrumental prowess shaped the sound of jazz to come.
It's too damn easy to make Louis Armstrong's career so cut and dry. The early years were all fiery trumpet solos, groundbreaking music. Then one day, he woke up and said, "I want to tell bawdy jokes and sing pop tunes," started mugging and singing "Blueberry Hill," barely played the trumpet and eventually died. End of story.
Nonsense, I say. Armstrong entertained from the minute he entered show business, doing preacher routines, impersonating Bert Williams, doing an onstage bit where Zutty Singleton wore drag, dancing the Charleston and the Mess Around, playing Noel Coward's "Poor Little Rich Girl" as a feature, and so. And that just represents what he did onstage, day in and day out through the 1920s. On record, he waxed the vaunted Hot Fives and Hot Sevens, which I feel to be the most important records in jazz history (really, were you expecting me to say something else?). One can never underestimate the breathtaking impact of "Potato Head Blues," "Cornet Chop Suey," "Hotter Than That," "West End Blues" and the others of that ilk. But those who focus on just those tunes are listening with blinders on. Just because "Who'sit," "Don't Forget To Mess Around," "Irish Black Bottom," "Big Fat Ma and Skinny Pa," "That's When I'll Come Back to You" and others don't get the same kind of "publicity" as the aforementioned titles, doesn't mean they don't exist. To paraphrase a song Armstrong helped make a standard, why not take all of him?
I'll get off my soapbox now as I've gone through these themes before on this blog and I really hammer 'em home in my book. The song "That's When I'll Come Back To You" interestingly was not written by Louis and Lil but rather by a Frank Biggs, a name I can find no other mention of anywhere on the Internet or in any books (except a Library of Congress catalog of copyright entries showing he copyrighted it in Chicago on March 21, 1927). He doesn't seem to have even written any other songs that were published or recorded. Perhaps he was a local Chicago guy or a friend of someone in the group, though decades later, Louis thought Lil wrote the tune (which we'll see in a bit). There's not a lot of meat to discuss in this one, but it's a lot of fun. Give it a listen:
This track really has a woozy feel to it thanks to constant one-and-three blurtings from Pete Briggs's tuba. After a short introduction, Armstrong takes a tricky break that is neatly finished by Briggs. Then the ensemble takes a crack at the melody, Armstrong very vocalized in his approach to it. Dodds sounds good, both in the ensemble and in his solo, complete with breaks. There isn't much flash to the solo, which is almost played entirely with somewhat oddly accentuated eighth-notes, an outing that would probably sound pretty corny without Dodds's unique sound (though the end of his break is positively Armstrong-like).
After Dodds's break, the sound of Lil Armstrong's piano disappears as Miss Lil left her bench to make her way to the microphone. Dodds dips into his chalameau register for an obbligato to Lil's humorous vocal. She had a good personality (dig her singing on "Clip Joint" from her 1961 Riverside album produced by Chris Albertson) and her purposefully pleading tone is very funny. All morning, I had to hear my wife and her best friend talk about the pop star Rihanna returning to her boyfriend, Chris Brown, who physically abused her a few years ago. I got bored of the conversation, so I went to write a blog...and there's Lil singing, "You could knock me down, treat me rough, even kick me/ black both my eyes but Daddy, please don't quit me!" Perhaps if Rihanna needs a new single, she could give "That's When I'll Come Back To You" a try!
After Lil, Pops enters with a hilarious chorus, featuring all sorts of bravado and expert comic delivery. Here's how he sings it:
Now Mama, when the rain turns to snow and it's 90 below-uh,
That's When I'll Come Back To You
When I have nothing to eat, no shoes for my little feet,
Then I will think that you've been true (which I know that's a lie, ha!)
You may have somebody else, I'll agree
But baby you lost a goldmine when you lost me.
Now when your hair drags the ground and bucks are flying around,
Then I'll come back to you, baby.
Yes dearie, Papa, then he'll 'bout face and come back to you.
That's When I'll Come Back To You
When I have nothing to eat, no shoes for my little feet,
Then I will think that you've been true (which I know that's a lie, ha!)
You may have somebody else, I'll agree
But baby you lost a goldmine when you lost me.
Now when your hair drags the ground and bucks are flying around,
Then I'll come back to you, baby.
Yes dearie, Papa, then he'll 'bout face and come back to you.
Ah, Pops the entertainer at his finest. The exaggerated extra syllable on "below-uh," the addition of "little" before "feet," the "which I know that's a lie" aside, complete with chuckle...personality, personality, personality. Interestingly, the first seven Hot Seven numbers were all instrumentals. Finally, on the last two sessions, he began to sing and didn't quit, scatting on "Keyhole Blues," singing the blues on both "S.O.L. Blues" and "Gully Low Blues" and showing off his comedic side on "That's When I'll Come Back To You." On "S.O.L. Blues," Armstrong took particular delight in singing the word "bucks" as a substitute for money. Pops had "bucks" on the brain and at the end of "That's When I Come Back To You," you'll hear Pops pause after the line "Now when your hair drags the ground," and in an instant, his mind conjured up a substitution: "and buck's are flying around." The hesitation before "bucks" always makes me think Pops ad-libbed it.
John Thomas follows the vocal with a pretty good trombone solo (finally!), getting very bluesy in his second part. But he's just setting the stage for the 20 seconds the purists probably loved: a dazzling Armstrong break, another hint of stately ensemble playing and a quick chromatic finish. I especially love the break. At such a slow tempo and without stop-time accents, Pops is on his own for four bars. Naturally, he floats a bit and plays with the time, but he maintains a blues feeling throughout and you still feel the tempo even without anyone else playing.
In 1951, Armstrong was asked by Esquire magazine to comment on some of his earlier records for something called "Jazz On A High Note." Armstrong original notes appear in Louis Armstrong In His Own Words, a book never too far from my side. Here are his comments--complete with his unique typing style--on "That's When I'll Come Back To You":
"It certainly was real kicks making this record . . . especially with Lil Hardin . . . who later became Mrs. Satchmo Louis Armstrong . . . This is our first time singing together . . . It amused the recording company so well until they started looking around for new material for Lil and I . . . Honest . . . Lil also knocked me out with that cute little voice of hers . . . And to me, she always could 'Swing Sing' (an expression of mine) with feeling . . . If I'm not mistaken I think that Lil wrote this tune . . . She was very much versatiled when she and I were married, between us we wrote some pretty good songs together . . . 'That's When I'll Come Back to You' was written as a comedy number . . . You'll notice in the recording that Lil sings these words--'You can Beat me, Kick me, Blacken my eye, but please don't quit me' . . . Which knocked everybody out . . . Then, my line is, 'When the rain turn to snow and it's fifty below-er--that's when I'll come back to you' . . . Blaa Blaa Blaa . . . All in all, the tune brings a little laughter."
So Pops got a few tiny facts wrong (he had already sung "Georgia Grind" with Lil the previous year) but he still remembers some of lyrics and even the way he delivered them ("below-er"). But there's Pops, not trashing the tune as trifle not worthy of such a grand artist as himself. He specifically says it's a comedy number, it knocked everybody out and in the end, it "brings a little laughter." It's a very good-humored record, one that won't make many Armstrong "greatest hits" discs but again, that doesn't mean it should be ignored.
That's the end after my months-long exploration of the vaunted Hot Seven recordings and I hope you, dear reader, got something out of it. But I don't want to leave this period for long as December marks 85th anniversaries of classics like "Struttin' With Some Barbecue" and "Hotter Than That" and I'd like to find time to celebrate them (hey, give me credit, I just rallied with four blogs in 10 days after a month with none....I'm back, baby!).

Golf Tip of The Day
If you put a log on the ground and asked someone to take out a chunk of wood from the log they would most likely swing the ax into the log at an angle and create sliced out section from the log. This action is done with an abrupt angle of attack into the wood log.

Home Solutions: Make energy saving tweaks now
Energy vampires use energy while not providing any useful function. Sometimes called �standby power,� this energy can provide useful functions � remote control, clock displays, timers � or waste power by simply being plugged in. The average U.S. household spends $100 a year to power devices in standby mode.
To save energy, enable the Energy Star power management settings on your computer and monitor, so they go into power save mode when not in use. Use a power strip as a central �turn off� point, which completely disconnects the power supply. Use one for your computer and all peripheral equipment, and another for your home electronics (TV, VCR, DVD, stereo, gaming).
Unplug your chargers: cell phones, cameras, battery chargers and power adapters. These are drawing energy even when not in use (and when not connected to an end-use product). When shopping, look for Energy Star qualified products, the lowest power consuming in their category in standby mode.
Use rechargeable instead of disposable batteries. Disposable alkaline batteries can take a lot more energy to produce than they provide. Rechargeables don�t retain their charge forever, but their environmental impact is about 1/32 that of a disposable battery and they are cheaper to operate over the long term, not requiring replacement purchses.
All batteries are made out of toxic materials. Using rechargeable batteries whenever possible can reduce the amount of lead, mercury and other heavy metals that leak into the water supply.
