Scott Lewit: LIghtweight Composites
Composite boat builders looking for lighter weights are often also looking for lower costs in materials, labor, and propulsion, too, while some builders have found they must actually pay more for materials and labor. At IBEX 2012, Scott Lewit (Structural Composites Inc.) took part in a panel discussing the spectrum of lightweight boatbuilding and reported on his company's on lightweight composites in military applications. Lewit joins us now with the final results of research t

"Love It, Learn It, Or Leave IT &The 6 Sexual Doors Part 3"
Many thanks again to the clients and supporters of Brian Holiday-El and the growing audience of the Sepiasexual BodyTalkLive! Just as I promised, no need to wait another month because HERE WE GO AGAIN! On Episode 1 of BodyTalkLive, the 6 Sexual Doors were briefly explored and those who tuned in we're finally able to receive the key to correctly engaging the uniqueness of their own sexuality and that of the other. On Episode 2, the 7 Year Cycles underlying the changes an individual goes through internally and externally launched a discussion which climaxed with a Body Talk on Composites (Unions), using the Body Graphs of Joe Budden and Tahiry Jose, giving the listeners part of the information and perspective needed to come to a decision of, loving it, learning it, or leaving it. Our Caller, Phyllis, who made it through the line despite the technical difficulties, reported that what she, "RECEIVED was On Point and Needed."
I surrender to the beautiful feedback and responses from the listeners and you all are right, an hour is simply not long enough, so, the next show will run for at least 90 Minutes and as the audience grows as it has over the last two episodes, I will extend the time again and eventually committ to perhaps airing during prime time. It's been spectacular growing with you all over the last 2 Episodes and I'm earnestly looking forward to growing and learning and sharing with all of you. Thank you again! BHoli

Dr. Ellen Lee: Impassioned Environmentalist at Ford Motor
Ellen Lee: Impassioned Environmentalist Believes Sustainability Equals Sensibility in Both Vehicles and Life
Who: Ellen Lee, technical expert, plastics research Role: Researcher working to replace traditional, petroleum-based plastics with alternative composites that are better for the environment and the customer
Did you know? Lee enjoys reading cookbooks like most people read novels
Visit Ellen Lee at her home in Ann Arbor, Mich., and chances are better than average she’ll be outside, working in the garden.
“We grow...a little bit of everything,” she says, laughing. “I love fresh vegetables. We have 10 raised beds, and that’s not enough. Every year, I say, ‘I need more room!’’’
Lee’s green thumb shouldn’t surprise anyone. At Ford, Lee is part of a unique team that works to make products more sustainable through science and technology innovation. The team researches traditional, petroleum-based plastics and looks to Mother Nature to create alternate composites that are durable, lightweight and better for the environment.
These all-new composite recipes include more natural ingredients, such as soy oil, wheat straw fiber, cellulose and the sugars in corn, sugarbeets and sugarcane.
“One of our biggest success stories so far is soy foam,” Lee says. All Ford North American-built vehicles use bio-based foam in seat cushions and backs. Ford’s use of bio-based foam has helped the company reduce its petroleum oil use by more than 3 million pounds annually and carbon dioxide emissions by more than 15 million pounds.
Even more recently, Ford and Lear Corporation introduced a new head restraint foam with 25 percent of the polyol replaced with soy.

Kurt Hughes's Lunar Lander Project
Multihull designer Kurt Hughes (Seattle, Washington) joins us to share lessons learned from his "Lunar Lander" project.

American Daily Review
Red Barry....(1) lays the groundwork for his dictatorship to come, (2) composites his fantasy woman, (3) comes out of the glass closet and embraces state recognition of the same kind of relationship between members of the same gender that he's had with the American private sector for the past three and a half years, and (4) "officially" kicks off his re-election campaign to standing-room-only hordes of empty seats. Which makes Nicholas Sarkozy's fall in France a particu
