Lust cause
THERE IS A SCENE in the film Bridget Jones's Diary where the dashing Mark Darcy tells Bridget he likes her. 'In fact, I like you a lot. Just as you are,' he says.
It's not the most romantic declaration of love in the history of cinema, but its impact on Bridget is dazzling. From then on, she is smitten. She sees Darcy in an entirely new light - not as the smug bore in the reindeer jumper, but as the man who likes her just as she is.
Experts say it is this ability to communicate how special someone is to us, that lies at the heart of romance. It doesn't have to be communicated with flowers and chocolates on Valentine's Day - a simple card or a well-chosen book can do the job just as well.
Sharon Glick, a relationship expert with St John's Cathedral Counselling Service in Hong Kong, says it is this motive that should inspire actions on Valentine's Day. Glick believes that, despite what cynics say, there is a place for Valentine's Day and romance in relationships - even for married couples.
'Romance is very important,' she says. 'And no matter how foolish or silly we may think it is, I think most women would worry if their partners did not find a way to express themselves on Valentine's Day. It doesn't have to be diamonds or flowers. In fact, many women - myself included - would think it trite to receive flowers. A card or a book of good poetry can be enough. What's important is that he remembers you on this day and makes a statement which says, 'I cherish you and you are the most important person in my life'.'
Glick says Valentine's Day, despite its commercialism, is also the ideal opportunity to say something nice to partners - things which often go unsaid because lives are too busy or the time is never right. 'Let's face it. Many wives would be suspicious if their husbands gave them flowers at any other time,' she says.
It's not just a girl's thing either. Glick says men also like to know they are loved - often more so because they have less supportive relationships outside their marriage than women do. Likewise, it can be used as time to rekindle romance - something that all couples should try and do long after the first flush of love.
'Finding time to be romantic does get harder when children come along,' says Glick. 'But you should try to find time to be together, to look at each other, to see each other, to talk and to connect.'
In Hong Kong, the luxury of domestic helpers means that couples have more chance to do this, says Glick, and romantic interludes like dinner dates, a night at the movies, even a weekend away from the children, are much more feasible. Glick believes the most romantic gestures are those like Darcy's declaration which convey 'unconditional total acceptance' of the other person.
'When I try to think about what is romantic, I think of the word 'cherish',' says Glick. 'One of the things I tell couples who are struggling with their relationship is to look into the eyes of your partner and ask: 'How do you see yourself reflected? How do you think your partner sees you?' If you know someone cherishes you and thinks you are wonderful, then it is wonderful and very comforting.'
Psychologist and author Dr Neil Clark Warren, one of the best-known experts in dating and marriage in the US, agrees that it is vital not to overlook Valentine's Day, however solid a relationship is.
'The major thing to know about Valentine's Day or any other special occasion is that your partner wants to know that they have been remembered - whether it's with flowers, candy, jewellery or other gifts,' he said. 'The important thing is the message, 'I love you and I am thinking of you and I want you to know that I am remembering you'.'
Warren says the most romantic treat is one that involves a thoughtful gesture or plan that is tailored to the other partner. 'We all want to know that our beloved is so in touch with us that they know exactly what would please us the most,' he says.
Warren is the founder of one of the biggest online dating agencies in the US and has spent more than 20 years counselling couples and studying what makes marriages work. Romance is high on his list of 'must-haves' in a relationship.
'Two people who really like each other a lot, but have no romance or chemistry in their relationship, should never try to turn that friendship into a romantic relationship,' he says. 'Romance in a marriage is a key ingredient to the success of marriage. And romance really thrives if the couple is well matched on the important dimensions that contribute to the smooth running of that marriage.'
He says it takes dedicated people to keep romance alive, especially when the stresses and routines of daily live force it to take a back seat.
'If there are children, for example, of course they need parental care particularly when they are small, but parents who recognise the importance of keeping their romance alive can schedule times to be alone and times when they can be free and unencumbered to pursue their romantic sides.' He says there is also danger when romance is the only element in a relationship. 'Passion can fizzle out in short order if there is not a foundation of the important qualities that make for a fulfilling relationship.'

Rigorous, jazz-inflected musicianship and an inspired navigation of spiraling Krautrock dynamics.
With origins in the same Versailles terroir that birthed Air, it's difficult to resist scrutinizing Jean-Emmanuel Krieger's electronic project Baïkonour for similarities to his fellow countrymen's distinctively purified synthetic landscapes. And though there are moments on Baïkonour's full-length debut, For the Lonely Hearts of the Cosmos, that bear comparison to some of the more spacious, iridescent environments of Talkie Walkie, over the album's course Krieger ably distinguishes his work through rigorous, jazz-inflected musicianship and an inspired navigation of spiraling, locomotive Krautrock dynamics.
For the Lonely Hearts also distances itself through its unabashed embrace of reliable (if not precisely traditional) rock-based structures. Most of the tracks here feature live drumming provided by Imitation Electric Piano's Lee Adams, and it's often his muscular, hangar-spaced pummel that allows Baïkonour to avoid the stagnant eddies of soporific post-rock. Following the delicate harp-string shimmer of the opening "Lick Lokoum", Krieger and Adams immediately kick into the unstoppable motorik-cum-Stax propulsion of "Coltan Anyone?" Combining surprisingly humid, greasy rhythms with Krieger's baroque, Floydian keyboard flourishes, this track should provide immediate succor to any waylaid Caribou fans, as it instantly snuffs out any lingering potential for dustless, sci-fi sterility.
This last detail feels particularly pertinent, as Baïkonour takes its name from a Soviet missile launch site and the album's title and artwork both imply a certain Sputnik-era retro-futurism. To the contrary, however, these songs remain stubbornly coarse-textured and earthy, even pastoral, as on "Hoku To Shin Ken", a track whose circular melody is fed by tranquil, Byrds-like guitar arpeggios. Elsewhere "Proto-Coeur" plows a recharged Peter Gunn riff around and through various hairpin turns and blind alleys, while tracks like "Rusk Plasmique" and "60 To 0" can recall M83's synthesized My Bloody Valentine atmospheres. Throughout the album, Krieger consistently astonishes with the daring breadth of his playing, as he embellishes several otherwise straightforward pop hooks with as much florid ornamentation as good taste will allow.
Aside from the occasional submerged whisper, as on the classic-Stereolab echoes of "2/3/74", For the Lonely Hearts of the Cosmos contains no vocals or lyrics to speak of, but still the album retains the impression of a cohesive, sequential narrative. Culminating with the vibrant surfside pulse of "Ultra Lazuli", the album's plotline feels primarily driven by Krieger's skill at flawlessly integrating the various strands of his musical memory and appetites to recast the familiar in new, evocative shades uniquely his own. And this he does with such an addictively melodic flair that it should be easy for listeners to find space for this album within their lonely hearts.

The Summer Olympics are upon us with all the hard work and training paying off for the athletes. What do they know that keeps them strong and healthy through all their years of practice? Sports Massage is their "Secret Weapon." According to the American Massage Therapy Association, "research shows massage therapy can benefit athletes of all fitness levels, and Olympic Athletes are no exception." Dr. Brent Bauer from Mayo Clinic believes so strongly in the power of massage he is even moderating a panel discussion including Olympic Athletes at the AMTA National Convention. So how can a massage strategy keep both the Olympic and average athlete strong and pain free? Reduce DOMS DOMS, delayed onset muscle soreness, is an ongoing problem for every athlete. Inflammation is one of the reasons an athlete's overused muscles ache 48 hours after strenuous activity. Massage will increase the blood flow to the muscles to speed healing and reduce toxins. Combine this with gentle, low-stress activity and the pain goes away. 2. Increase agility Agility, the ability to move quickly in another direction, is part of most Olympic Athletes' requirements. And this agility can be improved with massage focused on critical stress points, both before and after the action. In fact, one study showed that a shorter massage on only the specific muscle groups was more effective than the longer, more relaxing Swedish Massage. 3. Injury Prevention Injuries are often prevented with a short, pre-activity Sports Massage, tailored to the particular muscle group that will be stressed. Tendons and ligaments are relaxed and more likely to stretch than tear, while blood flow keeps the harmful chemicals from building as fast. 4. Speed Healing The human body is an amazing machine with the ability to heal itself when provided the right tools. Massage improves circulation which allows this fast healing, while carrying away the chemicals that cause muscle damage. Combine massage with healthy eating which provides the proper fuel, and this human machine runs (and heals) smoothly and quickly. 5. Reduce inflammation Inflammation is the body's immune response to injury, infection or toxic chemicals. It's the localized buildup of white blood cells, dead red blood cells, and bacteria, which cause that area to redden, swell, become hot, and is often painful. It's a sign that something is wrong (both good and bad), and will usually clear up over time. However, a massage after strenuous exercise will reduce the inflammation quickly, and allow the healing to occur sooner. So take advantage of the secret Olympic athletes know and include the Sports Massage benefits into your workout plan. You'll get the results, and enjoy your activities more than ever. And who knows? Maybe four years from now you'll be an Olympic Athlete, too. [video_traffic_x_video id="3″]

I can't believe it's a whole week since Nic and I made our debut as vendors at Fibre East. First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who came by to see us, try on samples, buy my patterns and Nic's lovely yarn. We were overwhelmed with how well received we were and the lovely comments that people made. It made all the hard work well worth it.
Nic's yarns are not only beautifully dyed, as you can see, they are also wound into 50g cakes and ingeniously packaged into ready to go wrappers which makes them look like giant sweeties! Perfect for the knitter who wants instant gratification. She will soon be putting any yarn that she has left up on her online shop so keep an eye out for it.
Here is a close up look of my little case, inherited from my dad, overflowing with samples, looking nice and tidy at the beginning of the day.
Fibre East is a lovely, well organised festival which manages to feel relaxed even though it is buzzing with fibre enthusiasts, teachers and vendors of all sorts, sheep shearing demonstrations and a whole marquee dedicated to 'having a go'. There is plenty of outside space and places to sit which is a good job as, particularly on Saturday it was eye wateringly hot. How anyone managed to try on mitts I just don't know but I certainly appreciate it.
Of course, it was impossible to resist having a little explore and appreciating the work of other vendors. I was delighted to see that one of my favourite yarn sellers, The Little Grey Sheep were at the other end of our marquee. I have knitted a pair of my Fairlee Mittens in some of their Stein lace and Emma, the farmer and dyer came over to say how much she liked them and graciously took one as a sample for her own stand. One of the things that I love about the fibre community is how people support each other.
Of course, I couldn't leave the festival without adding to my collection of her mini skeins of Stein Lace.. I mean, take a look at them - how could I not? They also appeal to the sheep geek in me - the Stein sheep is a cross breed between Shetland and Gotland sheep and has the bounce of Shetland combined with the sheen of Gotland. It is a light fingering to heavy lace weight - perfect for colour work accessories.
I am planning to have some colour work fun this summer.
The main problem is choosing colour combinations.
So I had a little bit of fun trying out some of my favourites.
The possibilities are endless.
It's hard to find a combination I don't like.
Don't you just love knitting?

Müller Go!
The term 'honored' exactly answers what it was like because it was Teresa Matzat, the Lake Constance Wine Princess, and Bernhard Prince of Baden who handed the certificates over to the happy winners. So a total of 85 wines submitted were awarded, divided up into five categories. This year, 220 wines struggled for the favor of the jury, 116 of which came from BADEN. Over 70 percent of the samples were dry wines, and just under 30 percent were distributed in the three semi-sweet categories. The Müller-Thurgau Competition was organized by BodenseeWein e. V. (Lake Constance Registered Wine Association) – mainly in order to bring "Mueller" up for discussion positively, and to help improve its image. The Lake Constance vintners think Mueller to have deserved this, so they make wine friends even beyond the boundaries of Baden aware of the wonderfully fine flavored, fruity, and modern wines, which are indeed worth spending a few euros more on them. Here on Lake Constance, mueller-thurgau is nourished and cherished, and its representatives in Meersburg impressively showed that this pays for itself.
In the full up mirror hall, facts, figures and background information were presented just as divertingly as the wines themselves. Each vintner presented himself and its winning wine; the background music was provided by the clarinet quartet of the Knabenmusik Meersburg (Meersburg Music Boys). A completely harmonic evening with fine drops from a dry high quality wine to a sweet wine out of dried berries. BodenseeWein e.V. is fighting each year for the competition to take place. "Organizing such a tasting is again and again a challenge. We've to register and to categorize the samples, to organize the tasting, and then we've to print the certificates and to organize the award ceremony. I'm glad that we have meanwhile become a winning team, which hardly lets itself get worked up", Tobias Keck from the Hagnau Vintners' Association and vice president of BodenseeWein e. V. summarized up not only this year's competition.
We like mueller-thurgau very much, by all means. Just now, as summer is slowly approaching… "Mueller" is an ideal summer wine, which is looking forward to the apricot season because a semi-dry mueller-thurgau it is an excellent accompaniment for apricot tartlets.

New Mac Utility Makes Setting Up Jailbroken Apple TVs Easier Than Ever Before
If you happen to have an Apple TV 2 or are trying to get your hands on one, than you might want to learn about a new Mac utility for jailbroken Apple TVs called nito Installer. Kevin Bradley, better known as nitoTV, made an app that makes installing software on hacked ATVs easier than ever before.
There hasnt been an easy way to install jailbreak apps on the Apple TV previously, forcing users to use SSH or Terminal commands to install third-party apps. This is exactly where nito Installer comes in though as it allows you to install apps such as nitoTV or XBMC to your jailbroken Apple TV with the click of a mouse. Users can easily add XBMC plugins and run custom commands as well.
If you dont know how to jailbreak your Apple TV 2 (or any other iOS device you may have), you can use our Jailbreak Assistant to learn how. For users who currently own an Apple TV 3, you will remain out of luck as it was recently mentioned by popular iOS hacker, pod2g, that neither he nor anyone he knew was working on a jailbreak for the device.

I will be getting a ATV2 soon and selling my ATV3 soon also.
David03181986 - 2012-08-12, 04:14 PM
so what is the benifit of a jailbroken apple tv? i have the thrid gen but will get the second if its actually worth it.. what can you do?

The ATV3 is 1080P so it does things hi res compared to the 720P ATV2.
I'm wondering WHY hasn't anyone jailbroken this by now? Is it really that much harder than the ATV2?
Why don't they just mod the firmware like Snowbreeze does?
The only reason I got a ATV3 is there was no ATV2 in the shop and I wanted to stream from my iPad and NAS. As 99% of the movies and TV shows are on my NAS in AVI format the ATV3 is useless to me unjailbroken. I was looking forward to XMBC on it.
If I have to wait till IOS6 is released and jailbroken then I will wait as thats only a few weeks/months hopefully but if its not going to be jailbroken then either I would like to know sooner so I can either take it back to the shop or trade it now while the ATV2 are still sortof cheap.
Everytihng I have is 1080P so I didn't want an ATV2 but if thats all it does then thats what I'll get.
Does the ATV2 still stream games from the iPad3 and look good?
I downloaded it and when I try to use it, it gives me this message "nito Installer" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. Somebody else have this problem?
Problem solved: Go to system preferences, security & privacy and check allow applications downloaded from: Anywhere
A jailbroken AppleTV allows you to play video formats that aren't allowed through iTunes (avi, VOB, divx, etc). You can set it up to read and play a Folder on your computer and it will decode it for streaming. There are also some other tweaks ( like displaying Weather on the ATV Homescreen ) that you can install, as well.
Prior to this nitoInstaller, getting tweaks/adding Video Channels onto the ATV was a pain but supposedly this will make it easier....
That's the gist of it!

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to an instrument flight training hood for preventing an aircraft pilot from viewing outside his aircraft during instrument control flight instruction, and more particularly, to such a flight hood which facilitates simulation of inflight vertigo.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In the area of inflight training, a student pilot must be trained to fly blind in bad weather. Pilots are required to have a minimum number of hours of flight instruction under simulated blind flying conditions before receiving a private or commercial license, or military rating to fly aircraft. Such training is a necessity to pilots who suddenly or inadvertently fly into bad weather conditions.
Flight training hoods have been designed to limit the wearer's field of view to only the instrument panel and immediate cockpit area. Such view limiting devices generally include elongated structures surrounding the pilot's line of vision for constriction thereof, blocking side and upper peripheral sight. Such devices are typified by U.S. Pat. No. 3,225,459 issued to L. L. Wilstein on Dec. 28, 1965 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,392,461 issued to A. Jenison on July 16, 1968.
Such flight hoods do not totally enclose or mask the wearer's line of vision in order to provide a safety factor which insures that the pilot can direct his vision outside the craft in the case of an emergency. However, to accomplish this factor, the hood's elongated structure extending in front of the operator's face becomes awkward and clumsy during flight and may cause eye straining or neck fatigue to support such apparatus. Also, the instructor must depend upon the wearer's trustworthiness during a testing and learning situation to purposefully keep his head substantially level.
Also, where the pilot inadvertently views outside of the aircraft, he would transition to VFR (visual flight rules) and must immediately transition back to IFR (instrument flight rules) as he looks back into the aircraft. This causes a disorientation to the pilot, promoting a time delay factor due to transition reorientation time. This psychological-type problem occurs with inadvertent viewing using the above-mentioned prior art devices.
Lens fogging-type devices including liquid crystals and other similar means have not been considered nor utilized in the flight hood art because of a lack of mode of operation therein and because of the previously mentioned safety factor. Although such lens devices have been utilized in helmet-type gear, see for example U.S. Pat. No. 3,873,804 issued to M. Gordan on Mar. 25, 1974 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,409,909 issued to D. D. Scott et al. on Nov. 12, 1968, the functioning of such devices are not compliant to the flight training hood art. Such devices are responsive to a bright flash of light that occurs during wearer viewing. However, in the flight training environment all stimuli including the ambient light in the cockpit are constant, having no apparent abrupt stimulus occurring at the time the desired fogging should take place.
Therefore, it would be highly desirable to provide a flight training hood having the ease and convenience of an unawkward structure including the quickness of an automatic lens system in which the lens would instantaneously operate in relation to the wearer's positioning of his line of vision.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a flight training hood having a bistable lens system operable to a state of transparency as the pilot views the instrument control panel of his aircraft and instantaneously operable to a state of vision occlusion responsive to the pilot switching his vision to outside of the aircraft.
It is further an object of this invention to provide maintenance of lens transparency in the case of emergency or necessary viewing for overriding the lens control system.
It is a further object of this invention to provide flight helmet conformance to a planar lens configuration for instantaneously occluding the wearer's line of sight when the same is directed outside of the aircraft.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide a flight training hood operable to simulate an inflight vertigo condition by operation of wearer.
The objectives of this invention are accomplished in a hood enclosure having a bistable voltage controlled lens system disposed transverse to the line of wearer's vision being operable to a first state of transparency and a second state of opacity. The intensity of light directed substantially along the line of wearer's vision is monitored to switch states of the lens system to transparency when wearer is viewing the instrument control panel of his aircraft, and to instant opacity when the wearer is viewing outside of the aircraft. The hood includes a switching control for maintenance of the hood in a state of transparency providing a safety factor and further for providing vertigo simulation upon landing approach by wearer changing his line of sight outside of the aircraft to occlude his viewing, and thereafter manually switching the lens to its transparent state.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiment taken in conjunction with the appended claims, and accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is an illustration of a pilot utilizing the flight training hood of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional side view in part of the flight hood of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a front view of the invention of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a circuitry diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the preferred flight hood embodiment of the present invention includes a flight helmet 11 worn as a covering surrounding the pilot's head leaving the face area of the helmet substantially open. A visor member 13 secured to the outer sides of the flight helmet, wraps around the face of the helmet to enclose the pilot's vision. A lower edge 15 of the visor (FIG. 3) circles the bridge of the wearer's nose and contacts his upper cheek bones to block out unwanted light which may enter under the visor.
As seen in FIG. 2, the visor 13 has side members 17 for extending back along the sides of the flight helmet and narrows to an elastic portion 19 formed integral therewith and containing metal snaps or other securing devices 21 to be received by the helmet 11. The elastic side portions permit the pilot to place the visor over his eyes pulling the side snaps 21 against the elastic bias and securing the snaps to the helmet 11, providing a secure fit of the visor over the pilot's eyes.
A visor lens system 23 formed from a liquid crystal 37 is secured within the visor and set transverse to the pilot's line of sight. The lens is recessed within the visor having blinder side sections 25, and a blinder bill section 27 projecting from the lens to block the pilot's peripheral top and side views. The bill section 27 depends anteriorly of the wearer's line of sight and is set transverse thereto for checking the operator from viewing higher without a corresponding upward movement of the operator's head. The bill section operates to discontinue upward eyeball rotation at a certain eyeball position and to engage movement of the operator's neck for further continuous upward eye searching. This same function of head rotation engagement for checking the wearer's upper peripheral vision without a corresponding head rotation may be performed by positioning the viewing lens somewhat lower in height with respect to the line of vision; thus a continued upward eyeball rotation will be checked as the wearer's vision climbs above the lens into the helmet.
The particular head gear configuration may take on other forms as may suggest themselves to those skilled in the art, in which a viewing lens is set transverse to the wearer's line of sight permitting a visual communication only through the viewing lens. However, it should be appreciated that this particular embodiment of the invention provides original features and is particularly useful in jet aircraft where the pilot's head gear resembles that of the helmet 11.
A light intensity system generally referred to by the numeral 29 is provided for sampling a separate area of space to monitor direct light radiation intensities coming therefrom. A passageway or channel member 31 is recessed within the visor 13 above the viewing lens 23 communicating the outside of the visor with a photocell 33. The channel 31 is shaped to directionally receive direct light radiation from an area of space just above the wearer's line of sight or, if desired, at an angle thereto where intersection takes place at or above operator's vision extending just over the instrument panel 35 (FIG. 1), or if desired along the line of sight. For purposes of brevity and claim language, these directional settings of light reception by channel 31 will be referred to hereinafter as "substantially along the line of sight" and indicates a direction of receiving light intensities just above or along the wearer's line of sight when the wearer is viewing outside the aircraft.
The bill section 27 as previously described cooperates with the locating of channel 31 by establishing the wearer's line of sight at which the movement of his neck (and thus the visor 13) must be commanded for a further upward viewing by the wearer.
As seen in FIG. 2, light entering from outside the cockpit, generally indicated by numeral 36, is not directly received by the photocell 33 but is blocked by channel member 31. The inside walls of the channel 31 may be colored dark, or a light absorbing material or paint may be applied to the walls to further enhance directional light reception. However, an initial adjustment of the control circuitry, as described hereinafter, provides adequate establishment of a directional light reception by the photocell 33.
The photocell 33 is responsive to received light intensities for producing a corresponding voltage output the magnitude of which is determined by the magnitude of light intensities received. This voltage output from photocell 33 is utilized to instantaneously operate the viewing lens system 23.
Viewing lens system 23 is considered to be a voltage controlled, bistable lens system having a first stable state of transparency, and a second stable state of opacity. In the preferred embodiment the lens system 23 includes a liquid crystal lens 37, a light emitting diode (LED) 39 and light shield 41. Liquid crystals are well-known devices which may be used to instantaneously switch from a light transmissive state to a light obscuring state upon the application of a voltage. The liquid crystal lens 37 is maintained in a transparent state until a voltage is applied thereto, whereby the lens instantaneously changes states and LED 39 is simultaneously enabled to reflect light upon the lens providing opaqueness to the lens system preventing the pilot from seeing therethrough. A light shield 41 is provided to shield direct light from the LED to the operator's eyes.
A control circuitry as shown in FIG. 4 operates the lens system for switching the states thereof according to a voltage output from photocell 33. The circuitry includes two operational amplifiers 47, 49 which cooperate to form a voltage comparator 51 and amplification network 53 for comparing the voltage output of the photocell 33 with a variable voltage reference 55. A rheostat 56 is operable to vary the voltage reference for establishing a minimum photocell output necessary to actuate the lens system for instantly switching to its opaque state. The rheostat 56 is coupled to a control knob 45 positioned on the outside of visor 13 (FIG. 2) for manual adjustment of the control circuitry by the wearer.
Initially the pilot adjusts the control knob 45 to preset the lens for switching opaque just prior to wearer's vision climbing above the control panel. When setting the rheostat, the pilot directs his line of vision at the control panel then adjusts the rheostat with the lens in an opaque state until the lens turns transparent. Now, viewing any direct light intensity brighter than the control panel will fog his lens. Thus, the control knob 45 provides for adjusting the lens system for different actuating levels on days of different brightness.
Referring again to FIG. 4 a switch 61 is operable upon a voltage output of comparator 51 for driving an oscillator 57 and waveforming network 59, responsive to the light threshold being overcome. Waveforming network 59 impresses the necessary voltage waveform onto the liquid crystal 37 for actuation thereof, as understood by those familiar with liquid crystals. The switch 51 may also serve to drive LED 39 during lens actuation.
The invention, of course, is not limited to the electrical circuitry shown, rather the electrical circuitry is one embodiment thereof, illustrating an electrical circuitry responsive to the magnitude of direct light intensity received by a photocell for instantaneously actuating a liquid crystal lens to its opaque state whenever a preset minimum light intensity is received.
An ON-OFF switch 43 disposed on the outside of visor 13 is operatively coupled to the control circuitry to enable the wearer to manually set the lens system in its transparent state. The ON-OFF switch 43 may, for example, disconnect the photocell output from the liquid crystal lens 37 when in the OFF position, as shown in FIG. 4. The ON-OFF switch 43 provides a safety factor to override the system in case of an emergency or other necessary viewing, and also provides a necessary control for use of the flight hood of the present invention to simulate a flight vertigo condition in pilots.
Flight vertigo simulation is possible on landing approaches. With a state of deceleration and with the pilot viewing the control panel, the pilot changes his line of sight outside of the aircraft to fog the lens occluding his viewing. Shortly thereafter, the pilot manually switches the ON-OFF switch to its OFF position setting the lens to its transparent state. The pilot immediately experiences vertigo.
It should be understood, of course, that the foregoing disclosure relates to a preferred embodiment of the invention and that other modifications or alterations may be made therein without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

Stones and Crystals
STONES AND CRYSTALS – raw, tumbled and individual specimens
Free information card on the healing properties of the individual stones included with purchase, as well as a pamphlet on how to use stones and crystals and care for them.
Images of each product are just samples to show the sizes. The penny is included simply to demonstrate how big - or small - they are :) As every stone and crystal comes from the earth, each one is unique with its own personal quality and rate of vibration. Color and clarity will also vary. However, I do my best to provide you with the highest quality at the best price.
NOTE: Scientific evidence about the potential health benefits & risks associated with stones & crystals is hard to come by, but crystals & stones have been used for thousands and thousands of years. This would seem to indicate not only their safety, but also their effectiveness. However, always seek medical attention from a qualified medical or mental health worker, or a Natural Health Practitioner, if you suspect you have a serious problem. The energies radiated from most crystals and gems are subtle and work over time, but the energy of others such as Black Obsidian can be much more intense and immediate.
How I Sort and Size Stones & Crystals

BICOM® BodyCheck
Book in for a quick, non-invasive, pain-free BICOM® BodyCheck scan to receive a comprehensive body MOT together with a full report showing areas of stress, potential causes and recommendations to help restore body balance
We are excited to launch the BICOM® BodyCheck which is a non-invasive complementary medical analysis system that scans and analyses and depicts the current energetic state of organs, tissues, and cells.
The BICOM® BodyCheck classifies the degree of existing stresses/dysfunction and indicates what is causing the stress or dysfunction.
Would YOU Benefit From A BICOM® BodyCheck Body Scan?
In short, everyone can benefit (subject to contraindications), however a body scan would be particularly beneficial to people:
Wishing to start BICOM® bioresonance therapy (to help target areas of stress)
Wanting a one-off or regular body MOT
Interested in identifying and preventing illnesses and dysfunction at an early stage
Currently having BICOM® bioresonance therapy (to give an indication of progress)
Wanting to optimise their health
With health issues but unknown causes
The BICOM® BodyCheck (also known as the 'BBC') uses technology from the Russian space programme that was developed at the Department of Medicine, University of Omsk, Siberia. It is a biomedical device outside the current medical paradigm and is based on over 20 years of research conducted by a number of Russian medical teams who recorded frequencies emitted by particular organs. They recorded what the normal frequency response would be for any particular age of either male or female subjects of each of the organs.
BICOM® BodyCheck Scan – How It Works
The patient is connected to the BICOM®BodyCheck via headphones which scans your body. The relevant frequency patterns are projected through the headphones (these are inaudible) and the information is received back from the patient and channelled through the sensor.
The scan is pain-free with a comprehensive scan taking approximately 30 minutes.
This information is classified to highlight the degree of stress in each part of the body and to determines possible causes. The stress areas (entropy points) are indicated on a scale from 1 to 6, with 6 being the most stressed. Images are projected via a computer/TV for both the patient and practitioner to view.
By analysing the entropy points (i.e. whether there is an order or disorder), detailed graphs and co-efficient points, the practitioner is able to accurately ascertain areas of stress in the body and determine what is causing the stress.
Once analysed a full report is generated to show areas of stress, potential causes and recommendations for treatments to help restore body balance. In addition, for BICOM® Bioresonance patients, specific bioresonance therapy programs are recommended.
Executing Scan
What Can Be Scanned?
Organ systems that can be scanned include:
- digestive system
- respiratory system
- genitourinary system (kidneys, ureter, bladder, urethra, prostate gland)
- cardiovascular system (heart and circulatory system)
- lymphatic system
- endocrine system (hormonal system including adrenal glands, thyroid gland, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, parathyroid gland, ovaries, prostate)
- nervous system
- sensory organs (eyes, ears, nose, tongue etc)
- musculoskeletal system (joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments)
Causal Factors That Can Be Identified By The Scan:
- Micro-organisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites)
- Pathological stresses
- Food sensitivities, additives and preservatives
- Household, plant, environmental and chemical allergens
- Electrosmog / geopathic stress
- Hormone imbalances
BICOM® BodyCheck with BICOM® Bioresonance
The beauty of using the BICOM® BodyCheck is that it directly complements BICOM® Bioresonance. Using the BICOM® BodyCheck the practitioner can very quickly ascertain areas of stress and degenerative processes together with the potential causes of these. The BICOM® BodyCheck also provides a list of optimal BICOM® bioresonance programs which are most likely to help the patient's current condition.
Using BICOM Bioresonance the practitioner can use and confirm the BICOM® BodyCheck analysis, tailor an ideal treatment plan and prioritise and provide the specific bioresonance therapy required to assist the patient back to optimal health.
From a practical point of view, this is a method of determining ideal therapies and is not fundamentally a stand-alone diagnostic device. For example, it cannot diagnose whether a cancer is present or not.
The Science
The idea of frequency response being relevant in medicine has been given considerable scientific support by a range of recent research projects being carried out around the world. More detail can be found here.
Book a Body Scan appointment
Due to an increased demand in patients and the introduction of the BICOM® BodyCheck, my husband, Greg Cawood, a certified BICOM® Bioresonance practitioner and a qualified sports and remedial massage therapist, will be conducting the BICOM® body scan consultations.
To book a consultation, please phone the Ilkley Healing Centre on 01943 602177.
To review the fees, please refer to the fee structure page.
Click here for more detailed information about the BICOM® BodyCheck.
My scan with the Bicom Bodycheck was interesting, detailed and very accurate. The images during the scan are very informative and Greg explained them in an easy to understand way. I was amazed that it identified stresses associated with a heart condition that I had been experiencing. I think a BICOM Bodycheck scan would benefit everyone and I would highly recommend it
– Gary, Yorkshire, June 2017
My purpose for getting a body scan was quite simply as confirmation of the internal results I hoped my lifestyle was producing! Without ever looking inside though, who knows! Sure, I feel great on the outside, have consistent energy and am rarely ill but have always thought it would be good to look under the hood so to speak.
I exercise 5-6 times a week, lift weights and do yoga, I eat well – I enjoy a G&T most nights – and have always hoped it was all paying off.
The Body Scan was absolutely fascinating, I saw my chromosomes on screen – yes it flagged up a few areas of tension in my body I already knew existed but was reassuring to know the engines running well so to speak! The beauty was, no hospital, no probes, just a pair of headphones! Now I know it is this easy will certainly look to repeat every 5 years or so as I age. In addition, if every a family member began with symptoms of an illness doctors couldn't remedy quickly, this would now absolutely be my port of call.
– Mrs B, Ilkley, Yorkshire
Greg Cawood – A Short Bio
I am passionate about assisting people to achieve and maintain optimal health. By using the BICOM® BodyCheck I can proactively identify stresses that may result in, and potential causes of, health issues.
I have been trained in the use of, and interpretation of results for, the Bicom Body Check. I have also attended courses in BICOM bioresonance therapy conducted by the German Bioresonance Institute.
I am a fully qualified sports and remedial massage therapist and hold diplomas in Sports Therapy and Remedial Massage. I was a massage therapist for athletes and competitors at the Sydney Olympics and a massage therapist for the Sydney Swans Australian Football League team.
