 Griffin TruTone Electronic Artificial Larynx $763.00 The TruToneTM Electrolarynx is the only electronic speech aid with tone control in a single button. It has the widest tonal range available in an electrolarynx, bar none! It has the best sound quality available in a neck type artificial larynx. At Last, Variable Pitch Control! As a laryngectomee, you know how important communication can be. The ability to add intonation has long been recognized as a key to "natural" speech. Now the TruToneTM electronic speech aid has a natural solution which will bring intonation back into your voice. Using new technology, the TruToneTM speech aid lets you fluctuate the pitch of your voice using a single pressure sensitive button. Because you keep your thumb in one place, the TruToneTM speech aid is extremely easy to operate, almost instinctual. You can immediately start speaking with natural intonation once again.  Liam $14.98 Teresa (Megan Burns) and her brother Liam (Anthony Burrows)are growing up in England as the depression is hitting its full stride. Their father is out of work and looking for people to blame, their mother is riddled with critical diatribes towards her children, and both the children are looking for answers. Young Liam turns awkwardly towards the Catholic orthodoxy while Teresa begins working for a prosperous Jewish family. Their father, meanwhile, turns toward the local fascist thugs for answers. Through it all, we: the viewers, can see it coming as we whisper, "Here it comes. Won't be long now until all things converge and someone is left getting...." Liam offers a glimpse into what happens when parents let their emotions dictate their decisions and all but offer their children up as the second-hand victims of those choices. I enjoyed this film but the subject matter is certainly not for everyone, especially the end that is anything but uplifting. Well-acted, especially by the two main principle actors in Burns and Burrows. |
