Thanks for the wonderful birthday cards! Overwhelmed!

Gerson Healing Newsletter, May-June, 2007 by Charlotte Gerson

It has taken me some time to open and read all the birthday greetings that I got this year. There was quite a stack, but I read every single one of them! They are beautiful, and I was very moved with their outpouring of loving thoughts. I should like to thank each one of you individually–however that is obviously impossible. Please forgive me for taking this easier course by which I hope to reach you all.

I received birthday cards from all over the world, nearby and as far away as Australia, the United Kingdom, Romania, Japan, and places in between. They were sent by recovered patients, people currently on the Therapy, and some from very wellknown and widely respected people. These included Charles, Prince of Wales, the singer Sting and his wife Trudy Styler, Albert Schweitzer’s daughter Rhena Schweitzer Miller, the Romanian publisher of Dr. Gerson’s book and many more. The Gerson Support Group, UK devoted an entire page of their publication, Coffee ‘n’ Carrots to a birthday greeting with huge balloons. I wish I could preserve them all, decorating the walls of my home! Along with many generous contributions to the Gerson Institute, there were also numerous presents, including orchids, beautiful books and more.

A particularly interesting gift was the invitation by Andy Lopez, “the Invisible Gardener,” who is giving me a one-hour radio show the first Saturday of each month, for a year. You can listen to the broadcast on the Internet from anywhere in the world at 11:00 AM to noon, Pacific Time (GMT-8). His website is “www.invisiblegardener.com,” and there will be links to it on the Gerson Institute website. If you simply enter “http://0070a78.netsolhost.com/invisiblegardener.asx” into the URL space in your browser, the radio show will start coming out of your speakers. Another way of getting there is on Andy’s homepage, there is a “Radio Show” icon on the right hand side. Click on the link “Radio Shows”, then the “Radio Show” icon on the upper right hand corner. The first show was on Saturday, April 7, 2007, then the first Saturday of every month thereafter. Please call in to the show at (310) 457-0138. Also, Andy’s excellent show “Don’t Panic, It’s Organic” is on right after I finish from noon to 1 p.m

Universal Electronics Expands Product Line for Multiple System Operators With Two New Accessories; Cricket™ Kids Remote and UEI Remote Extender

Business Wire, May 2, 2007

New Parental Control Device Leads the Way for Safe Family Television Viewing; Remote Extender Product Seamlessly Controls Hidden Audio-Visual Equipment Using Existing Remotes

CYPRESS, Calif. — Universal Electronics Inc. (UEI) (NASDAQ:UEIC) today announced two new product releases, one aimed at making home entertainment safer for children and the other at enhancing home entertainment control. The new Cricket[TM] Kids Remote features a means of simple parental content control and combines ease-of-use and a bright toy-like design to appeal to children of all ages. The UEI remote extender product converts any existing infrared (IR) remote to a radio frequency (RF) remote, allowing users to design their home entertainment around aesthetics rather than line-of-sight concerns with traditional infrared remotes.

The Cricket Kids Remote offers parents an effective way to restrict television viewing to a select list of family friendly channels, such as Disney[R], Nickelodeon[R], Cartoon Network[R] and others. In addition to bringing peace of mind, Cricket’s simple ergonomic design combines only 14 large keys in a design that is easy to hold and grip for a child. Kids will also enjoy the customizable image compartment that can display a child’s favorite cartoon character front and center on the remote.

“The feedback we’ve received from both end users and multiple system operators (MSOs) has been very positive,” says Ramzi Ammari, vice president of product development for UEI. “Kaiser Family Foundation research shows that by age 6, 87% of children can turn the TV on by themselves and 71% can change the channels with a remote. With the Cricket Kids Remote, parents can rest easy with the confidence that their children are watching only pre-approved programs.”

The remote extender product is another innovative accessory that can turn an ordinary infrared (IR) remote control into a radio frequency (RF) remote. This is done by converting the IR beam of the remote to an RF signal and then reconverting it back to IR by a small receiver placed inside the AV equipment cabinet. Installation is a snap as the process is no more difficult than replacing a battery in your existing remote control with the RF transmitter.

“The growth in plasma and LCD televisions in subscriber households has spurred interest from those who want to keep their AV equipment hidden from sight,” continues Ammari. “The remote extender product is a quick and easy way to impress your guests with a clean and uncluttered home entertainment area where the AV stack is hidden behind a cabinet, closet or in another room altogether

Holiday Decorating.(Adding Services)

Holiday Decorating

By Lisa Danes

With many green industry services feeling the pain of an economic slowdown, landscapers can add holiday decorating to their service lineup, a service purchased in a season where consumers rarely skimp.

With the slumping economy, many landscapers may be experiencing a standstill in acquiring new accounts or a loss of those existing. One way to supplement the lack of growth is by adding another service to your offering, one that has shown to be in demand regardless of the economic state. So far, holiday decorating services have proven to be just that

TRICKS OF THE TRADE: TO THE TEST: Portable DVD players

Sunday Mirror, Jun 18, 2006 by Zena Alli

GDVD100, pounds 239, Goodmans (0870 873 0080, www.goodmans.co.uk)

THIS has a huge 10-inch screen that gives an excellent picture. Sound and picture quality is very good and the player is multiregion, meaning you can play DVDs from other countries. But battery life isn’t great at 2.5 hours and instead of a smart travel case it comes with a very basic pouch.

MP100, pounds 242, Mustek (www.mustek.co.uk)

THIS quirky player’s 10-inch screen swivels by 180 degrees and folds back down, turning it into a tablet, so you can hang it on the back of a car headrest. Battery life is three hours and the player isn’t multiregion. Picture quality was also poor – it was too bright and a bit stripey.

Shinco SDP-1720a, pounds 129.95, Firebox (0870 241 4289)

CUTE little player is about the size of a paperback book. It only has a seven-inch screen, but it has a very impressive picture that’s sharper and better coloured than most. The sound is excellent too and it’s multiregion. Battery life is three hours.

PDV512, pounds 199.95, Hitachi (0870 900 1000 www.richersounds.com)

THE best-looking player on test, this slender DVD is a gorgeous silver-blue on the outside. Inside there’s a quality feel and easy- to-use controls. It has an eight-inch screen and is multiregion. Picture and sound are both good, but it’s let down by a battery life of just two hours.

PL8C70 PL8D70, pounds 212.99, Mustek (www.mustek.co.uk)

THE tablet-style PL8C70 is designed to hang on a car headrest. And it comes with a second screen so two kids can watch the same movie at once. But the 7-inch screen’s battery life is 2.5 hours and it isn’t multiregion. However, it does have good picture quality with nice bright colours.

SD-P2800, pounds 299, Toshiba (08704 424 424)

A QUALITY player with a nine-inch screen. As you’d expect at this price, picture and sound are both excellent, and the player feels solid. Battery life is an outstanding 4.5 hours
