We're coming to you live from NOLA Lab Fest with two very different, but equally nerd-worthy conversations. A HUGE THANKS to Aidite North America (https://www.aidite.com/) that has made this all available. Go show them some serious love. First up, Elvis sits down with Rik Jacobs from Novenda Technologies (https://www.lake3d.com/) to talk about a truly disruptive production-scale 3D printer that can print multi-material and multi-color—at the same time. We dive into voxel-based printing, integrated hard/soft gradients, no supports, water-soluble wax, massive denture and night guard output, and why centralized production labs should be paying very close attention to what Novenda is building next. Then we switch gears and catch up with Jess Gray, whose career journey is a masterclass in saying “yes,” learning fast, and building something special. From front desk at Aspen to running a rapidly growing in-house lab in the Finger Lakes region, Jess walks us through analog-to-digital dentures, Exocad self-education, facial scanning for All-on-X, in-office workflows, team building, and what it really takes to scale a lab while still loving the bench. This episode is packed with inspiration, tech talk, and real-world lab ownership lessons you don't hear every day. Happy Holidays from Ivoclar! As the year comes to a close, all of us at Ivoclar want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the incredible Voices From the Bench community. Thank you for your partnership, your trust, and the support you've shown throughout the year. From our Ivoclar family to yours, we wish you a joyful, healthy, and safe holiday season. May your days be merry, your nights be bright, and your smiles shine like freshly fallen snow. Ho, ho, ho — Happy Holidays from Ivoclar! Big news is coming your way in the world of CAM. Our friends at Ivoclar have teamed up with FOLLOW-ME! Technology (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/) to bring the Ivotion Denture System (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/digital-processes/ivotion) into the HyperDent CAM (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/hyperdent/) workflow. That's right—your favorite pre-shaded, two-layer Ivotion discs, the ones that let you design and mill a complete denture in one seamless process with no bonding and no mess, are now moving beyond closed systems. Thanks to this new partnership, Ivotion can finally be milled on open machines through HyperDent. And it gets better: you'll first see this powerful workflow available on the Roland DWX-53 series mills (https://www.rolanddga.com/products/dental/dwx-53d)—already a staple in so many labs—as well as the Imagine iMills (https://www.imagineusa.com/legacy/s/mills/imill). If you've been waiting for a faster, cleaner, more flexible way to produce full dentures, this is it. Ivoclar and FOLLOW-ME! just made the future of denture manufacturing wide open. Get ready—HyperDent is about to change the way you mill Ivotion. Special Guests: Jess Gray and Rik Jacobs.

The community is reacting after ICE detained a local businessman. As reported by WXXI's Gino Fanelli, Omar Ramos Jimenez, the co-founder of the Mexican restaurant La Casa, was arrested by federal immigration agents earlier this month during an alleged sting. Ramos Jimenez was first detained by ICE in 2013 and has been complying with the agency's requests for check-ins. A federal complaint states that he is now being held due to changes in presidential priorities and policies and to ensure his future attendance at court hearings. Hundreds of protesters recently gathered to demand his release. The group included his daughter, Cassandra Bocanegra, a senior staff member for the Finger Lakes chapter of the New York Immigration Coalition. She joins us for the hour.

Want to know the best winery to visit in the US? The Dr. Konstantin Frank winery was named the best winery tour in America for the third year in a row in 2024 by the USA Today 10 Best Reader's Choice Awards. What's the secret sauce? On today's show, we're headed to New York's Finger Lakes region, where winemaking dates back to the 1800s. Meaghan Frank is the great granddaughter of Dr. Konstantin Frank, a Ukrainian immigrant credited with pioneering modern wine making in the Finger Lakes. He is known as the father of vitis vinifera in the East because he taught American vintners how to grow European varietals in the cold climate of the Finger Lakes. Dr Frank developed and mastered cold weatherproofing farming techniques in Ukraine and he brought that innovation to America and his namesake winery, D⁠r. Frank Konstantin.⁠Meaghan Frank inherited quite a legacy, but she's also brought her own experience and knowledge to the family winery, where she is now in charge of the day-to-day operations. Meaghan's family has many milestones to celebrate, including 40 years of making sparkling wine and women playing major roles in the winery's success and evolution. Riesling wines are a big part of the story. In fact, Dr. Frank's Riesling Vineyard, planted in 1958, is the oldest Riesling planting in the Eastern United States. Riesling is one of the most aromatic and versatile white varieties in the world, made in many styles, from bone dry to dessert wine sweet, in both still and sparkling versions. After listening to today's episode, we hope you'll be inspired to seek out Riesling in all its styles.

They say screening has been underutilized due to the stigma of the disease. This hour, we discuss their efforts to change that.

In this episode of Hysteria 51, we're cranking the weird meter to 11 with a double feature of near-cremation resurrection and mysterious UFO lights over New York's Finger Lakes. First, we head to Thailand, where a woman declared dead was sent to the crematorium—only to wake up in her coffin moments before cremation. Was it a medical mistake, a glitch in the Matrix, or proof that you really can hit snooze on the afterlife?Then we jet to upstate New York, where baffled residents spotted a bright, unexplained light hanging over the Finger Lakes, sparking talk of aliens, secret military tests, and one very confused planet Venus. We break down the eyewitness reports, possible explanations, and what it all means for believers and skeptics alike.From a Thai “back from the dead” miracle to a sky full of questions, Weird Thai Awakening & Finger Lakes UFOs delivers spooky true stories, dark humor, and just enough tinfoil-hat energy to keep you checking both your heartbeat and the night sky.Links & Resources

Kayleigh Johnson is from the small town of Douglas, Alabama, located within Marshall County. When she was twelve, she became involved with Lamplight as part of their very first group of campers. Throughout the years Kayleigh has become more involved with Lamplight and is now a staff member. Outside of Lamplight, Kayleigh is working towards her general business degree as a freshman at the University of Alabama, where she later hopes to continue on to law school. Kayleigh aspires to combine everything Lamplight and college will teach her, into a career as a non-profit lawyer who stands up for worker-owners everywhere. This aspiration stems from working with SMCEC and other non-profits in contact with SMCEC. One of her favorite memories from Lamplight was in her last year as a camper when her and two other campers plus one staff conspired to purchase the staircase and charge everyone a toll to use it during the real-world simulation experiment.Julia Machlin hails from Ithaca, the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York, where she first developed a passion for student led education. After completing undergrad, she found herself toggling between working in education and the Labor Movement, including teaching Social Studies in East Harlem, and working with various workers centers, and SEIU in hopes to find a marriage between two worlds working towards student and worker empowerment. It wasn't until she found Lamplight and the work of the Sand Mountain Cooperative Education Center (SMCEC) where she discovered a niche and intersection of people trying to solve similar problems. For the last four years, Julia has been a returning Lamplight Staff member, and now sits on the board of SMCEC. She is also one of the creators on Glow and Grow, a coopertivelt structured fundraising program that grants writes for burgeoning nonprofits in Alabama, and trains students to simultaneously be worker owners and grant writers. Some of her favorite SMCEC memories include getting Frank Hurricane to perform at the 2025 Brick and Barn Conference, and holding fundraisers in her friend's Brooklyn Bars. When she isn't in Alabama or Ithaca, Julia can be spotted in New York, completing her Masters in Education at Teachers College at Columbia University. She looks forward to a future of building worker power by way of empowering students in and out of the classroom.

Election season is over and in just a few weeks a new class of elected officials will take office across the Finger Lakes. While some will return for new terms, others will be taking on roles for the first time. Today Jackie Augustine and Josh Durso discuss the latest across the Finger Lakes, including implications of closely watched elections.

Tonight, we are tasting and learning about the hybrid wine grape Baco Noir. This is a French Hybrid wine grape. Baco Noir is an easy-to-grow grape that produces a medium to full-bodied wine with fresh acidity and dark fruit flavors hinting of black pepper and tobacco. Wines made of Baco Noir can also have notes of licorice, cedar, and smoke. Normally it will have medium tannins.Pairs with tomato-based dishes. Also pairs well with sharp cheddars, pecorino, or Parmigiano Reggiano.Tonight, we are enjoying:2020 Heron Hill Vineyards Baco Noir Reserve. This is from the Finger Lakes region of New York, specifically the vineyard is located on the western slope of Keuka Lake. I purchased it from Wine Styles in West Des Moines for approximately $25. Aromas of plum, black cherry, and dried blueberry. Medium to full-bodied. 13.9% alcohol, pH of 3.55, and 0% residual sugar. It is aged for 10 months in neutral French oak, and has medium-to-full body. The winery says this wine is great to be cellared for up to 15 years. 2023 Chloe, Monterey County Pinot Noir. Notes of strawberry and black cherry. This is around a $15 bottle of wine and can be found at many of the major retail stores. Subtle hints of clove and vanilla. Silky mouthfeel and soft finish. 14.0% alcohol. Neither of us cared for the Chloe Pinot Noir and both scored it a 2. We finished our glass but would not purchase this wine again. We both enjoyed the Heron Hill Winery Baco Noir. I gave it a 4 and Denise scored it a 3. I agree with Denise that it is not the most complex wine, but I just loved the easy and pleasing aroma and taste. It is very fruit forward with flavors of plum and blueberry. I got some earthiness and spice on the nose, but flavor is mostly over-powered by the fruit.Next week, we are having Denise's show, a wine she picked because of it's pretty label. It is the Oak Farm Vineyards 2022 Albarino.

What began as a dream during the COVID-19 pandemic has become a shining success story of passion, grit, and family values. Jerry, a veteran of over 36 years in the jewelry industry, and his daughter Amanda, a gemologist, built their business from the ground up—literally painting, remodeling, and marketing everything themselves. Together, this "Dream Team" turned Robinson Family Jewelers into a beloved local treasure, named Finger Lakes' Favorite Jeweler five years in a row. From overcoming the economic uncertainty of opening during a pandemic to weathering four years of construction outside their storefront, the Robinsons' journey embodies resilience and heart. Their dedication to the community shines through—from offering free watch batteries to first responders to building lifelong relationships with customers. Their philosophy? It's not just about selling jewelry; it's about celebrating life's moments, giving back, and treating every customer like family. Now, as they prepare to open their new, larger, and fully owned location, Jerry and Amanda reflect on the lessons they have learned, their growth as entrepreneurs, and the importance of maintaining authenticity and kindness at the center of their business.

Brooke does work with many Neurodiverse couples and individuals that are healthy and safe. If you are in danger or need further assistance leaving a domestic violence situation, please visit: https://www.thehotline.org/https://www.domesticshelters.org/resources/national-global-organizations/international-organizationsBrooke LaLone, LMFT is a Marriage and Family Therapist located in Rochester, NY.

Are you feeling the push of pressure in your leadership journey? Maybe you're in a season of rising momentum, or perhaps things feel quieter than you'd like. Either way—you're not alone. In today's episode, we explore the natural rhythm of growth through the metaphor of ocean waves—rising and falling, cresting and retreating. As mission-driven leaders, we often either downplay our highs by raising the bar too quickly, never pausing to celebrate or sink into self-doubt when things slow down, believing imposter syndrome's lie that we're not enough. The truth is, both pressure and release are essential. Just like the tide, growth requires a balance of both. Here's what you'll discover in this conversation: Why pressure isn't the enemy—it's part of the natural cycle of growth How to celebrate wins without immediately shifting the benchmark higher What to remember when you're in a low season and imposter syndrome creeps in Why balance doesn't diminish ambition—it sustains it How to close out the year with intention, without slipping into guilt or frantic hustle Whether you're an executive leader or an entrepreneur, this episode is a reminder that your growth is not a straight line—it's a rhythm. And when you honor that rhythm, you can lead with presence, purpose, and heart. Take this as your permission slip to celebrate, soften, and trust the wave you're riding right now.

Hard truths aren't fun—but they are the key to your growth as a soulpreneur. When you're a team of one, it's easy to romanticize the perks of entrepreneurship—freedom over your time, creative control, and the ability to set your own prices. But those same freedoms can also become the very things that hold you back if you're not intentional. In this Heart Glow CEO® episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the uncomfortable realities every soulpreneur will face—and how to transform them into gifts that fuel your growth instead of stalling it. In this episode, you'll learn: The surprising reason freedom without structure can become a liability (and how to flip it into your greatest advantage) Why your pricing says more about your self-worth than you might realize The uncomfortable truth about being your own bottleneck—and how to break free from it If you're ready to see your business with clearer eyes, embrace the messy middle, and use the sting of truth as a catalyst for your next level, this conversation is for you.

We kick things off with the Tokyo Drift Minute, wherein Joe explains Japanese high school lunch service. Then, in a shocking turn of events, we re-order the Fast Lane agenda (again) to move right into Running the VIN as we enter every gym Vin Diesel has visited over the past two weeks.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 126 - "The Seneca Drums"   On this episode we head to the beautiful finger lakes of update New York. Among the picturesque scenery we have the setting for a bonafide scientific mystery, the Seneca Drums. These unaccounted for booms are labeled as everything from sky quakes, seismic activity, geologic gas, distant thunder and everything in between. But what is the source of the loud noises that pierce the otherwise tranquil landscape? Scientific conjecture seems to be coming up short. Or, does this deep lake hold even more secrets?    If you have a story you'd like to share, you can reach out on Instagram, YouTube or TheGhostFurnacePodcast@gmail.com

We continue our tour of the Finger Lakes with a visit to Seneca Falls – a small town with a big legacy. Seneca Falls is home to just under 9,000 people, but it holds a major place in American history. It was here, in the summer of 1848, that a group of women gathered for tea and changed the world. More than 175 years later, the legacy of the Seneca Falls Convention and the women's rights movement is foundational to the town's identity. But this town isn't something out of a history book. It's a living place shaped by the people who live and work there, and keep its stories alive. Guest host Veronica Volk talks to four of those people.In studio: Pam Becker, historian of Seneca County Nellie Ludemann, museum and community relations manager for the National Women's Hall of Fame Andrew Olden, Ph.D., executive director of the Seneca Falls Museum and Tourism Center and Home of the Seneca Museum of Waterways and Industry Ahna Wilson, superintendent of the Women's Rights National Historical Park and Harriet Tubman National Historical Park

We continue our summer series highlighting communities across the Finger Lakes region. Seneca Lake is the deepest of the Finger Lakes and one of the most well-known, both for its natural features and for the communities along its shores. And at its northern tip: Geneva. Geneva has deep Indigenous and agricultural roots, a complex history, and a diverse range of identities today. It's been called the “Lake Trout Capital of the World,” and is also known for its arts scene, culinary offerings, and sustainability efforts.Our guests: Susie Monaghan, executive director of Smith Center for the Arts Jan Regan, photographer, board member of Geneva Industrial Development Agency and president of ReUse Systems, Inc.

It's a weird time to be an environmental scientist. The proposed cuts to federal science funding in the United States are profound, and if they come to pass, it's not clear what American science will look like on the other side. But for many researchers, science is much more than a career: it's a community, lifestyle, and sometimes even a family business. Outside/In producer Justine Paradis tagged along with researchers in the field to learn what it's like to be a scientist right now. We visit one of the oldest atmospheric monitoring stations in the country, and venture onto the Finger Lakes with an ad-hoc group of researchers struggling to understand an emerging threat to water quality: harmful algal blooms.This is a glimpse of the people behind the headlines, navigating questions both personal and professional, and trying to find ways to continue their work, even as much of their funding is simultaneously collapsing around them. Featuring Bob Howarth, Joshua Thienpont, Irena Creed, Nico Trick, Anita Dedić, and Tom Butler, with appearances from Roxanne Marino, Renee Santoro, and Garreth Smith.  SUPPORTTo share your questions and feedback with Outside/In, call the show's hotline and leave us a voicemail.

We continue our summer tour of the Finger Lakes with a trip to a place that's a little less traveled, a little less hyped... but that's part of what people say makes it magical. Keuka Lake is known as the "Crooked Lake" for its unusual Y shape, and its the only lake in the country that flows both north and south. It's ringed by small, proud communities -- Penn Yan, Hammondsport, and Branchport -- each with their own stories.
