Medvedev, Putin, and the Mistral
8:30 AM, Mar 5, 2010 • By REUBEN F. JOHNSON
"This is a deal that if it goes through provides Russia with a military capability to use against its neighbors that it would not otherwise have," said a retired U.S. flag rank officer who now works as a contractor with governments of new NATO Central/Eastern Europe states. "It also means transferring an industrial capacity to Russia from France that could have unhappy consequences. This is a deal that weakens the U.S. and weakens NATO. I am troubled about this sale given current concerns about the attitude of Russia towards NATO and our growing friction with Moscow."
If Europe is now only for Europeans -- and NATO is a threat rather than guarantor of peace -- then the U.S. needs to rethink how it handles its own military sales arrangements with those European nations who express these sentiments either by words or deeds. If these deal goes through, perhaps it might be time to reset the U.S. military relationship with France.

WEST PALM BEACH, FL (AP) -- Palm Beach County officials have loosened restrictions on where sex offenders can live.
The county commission unanimously passed a measure Tuesday to reduce the minimum distance sex offenders must live from schools, day-care centers and other places children gather. The 2,500-foot restriction put in place eight years ago has been reduced to 1,000 feet, in line with state law.
The change comes after a convicted sex offender sued the county earlier this year, claiming he was left homeless by the strict residency restrictions.
The Palm Beach Post reports no one spoke at the final public hearing on the rules change, and the measure was passed without comment.

When this movie came out critics and audiences were saying how rubbish
it was and it was a waste of time and money, but as i have a keen
interest in the paranormal i still wanted to see it anyway and i glad i
did! This is a family film but there are elements of adult horror here
such as suicides, murder and even zombies! The story is of a typical
workaholic dad who neglects his family and decides to take them away to
make up for this, but when he receives a call asking him to sell a
mansion he can't refuse so off he and his family go.
Once there they meet the creepy butler Ramsley and the owner Mr Gracy who are obviously ghosts, and from then on all the supernatural events follow one-another from zombie reflections to levitating around a psychic in a crystal ball called Madame Leota. And i thought she was the best character in the film, not just because i'm a Jennifer Tilly fan but because she is very funny and has a strong personality for just a head.
The effects are as amazing as the sets with the green glow of Madame Leota, the zombies and more even the people who didn't like this film can't deny that the effects are excellent. As i said the sets are also some of the best i've seen the mansion is absolutely breathtaking.
The only thing that i think is bad with this movie is the child actors, they just look bored going round the mansion with straight faces even though they follow ghostly orbs into unknown places. But apart from this the rest of the film is great fun for kids and for the adults who aren't afraid to turn their brain off for 90mins. WATCH IT!!!!
Eddie Murphy? What genius thought up this lame script? Sure, they toss
in a dozen homages to the original ride, but Disney flubbed a golden
opportunity to create a classic film. Don't take one of the
most-beloved rides from Disneyland/World, and come up with a sub-par
comedy, with smart-mouthed kids, and a jabbering Eddie Murphy.
Tech credits are great, though.
Don't be fooled by the DVD's claim of a "Virtual Ride of The Haunted Mansion." I was expecting a recap of the actual park attraction, but was instead treated to a tour of the movie set.
Also, Disney....why not just AVOID crude jokes and profanity in this type of family film? The scares alone garner the rating you desire. Don't dumb this down when it's not necessary. Have you not learned ANYTHING since "Watcher in the Woods"? (And THAT was definitely creepier.)
'The Haunted Mansion' got a lot of bombs thrown at it by critics, and almost nobody liked it. Well, guess what: I did. It's a faithful homage to the ride, the actors are interesting, and the horror side of the story is appropriately creepy. The plot is partially based on the French version of the ride, and it's decent. Although the movie never answers the question of why Master Gracey (Nathaniel Parker, who's really good here) couldn't marry his sweetheart Elizabeth (who was black), the hints are pretty obvious. And I liked the whole concept of the curse (even though it doesn't make any sense). The little nods to the ride throughout the movie are fun, especially Jennifer Tilly as Madame Leota, a disembodied head inside a crystal ball who speaks in riddles. Tilly can do this husky-voiced role in her sleep, and I liked her (the special effects involving her are pretty neat too). Although Eddie Murphy is miscast, and there are zero laughs in the movie, his mugging for the camera doesn't hurt the movie. The kids are OK, and Marsha Thomason does what she can with a thankless role, but it's Terence Stamp who steals the movie. He is Ramsley, the sinister butler of Master Gracey. With his deep rumbling British accent, Stamp gives a deliciously over-the-top performance, and he does here what Johnny Depp did for 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. Back to Eddie Murphy for a minute: Although he earns no laughs, he plays noncomedic scenes well, and he has some good banter with Stamp. The production design of the mansion and the ghostly special effects are very cool, particularly a zombie attack that pushes the PG rating to it's limits. Is 'The Haunted Mansion' a great movie? Absolutely not; they could have punched up the comedy aspect of the movie. It's not a bad movie, though. I thought it was very entertaining, and it's certainly better than the awful trailers. Not as good as 'Pirates', but a fun ride nonetheless.
First of all, I am a Disney kid that grew up going to Disneyland in CA
every year. Since I am a fan of the ride, "The Haunted Mansion", I
guess I expected this film to be good. When I heard the mediocre
reviews, I backed off from watching it until I just bought it on DVD
this past weekend. I was very surprised to find it a lot better than I
expected. My kids loved it and have watched it about 3 times.
The sets were beautiful and intricate, the costumes and make-up are gorgeous and the special effects are amazing. Rick Baker "Monster Maker" is so talented and has done an impressive (as always) job creating a vision from the Haunted Mansion ride that he also admired.
If you are a fan of the ride, I would imagine that you would enjoy this movie as much as me.
Another nail in the coffin of Eddie Murphy's career, The Haunted
Mansion is a slap-dash attempt to cash in on The Pirates of the
Caribbean, an infinitely more successful and better film based on a
Disneyland ride. There's just nothing here to write about--very little
human drama and not enough computer wizardry to keep you from noticing
you don't care about the humans.
About the only two things worth mentioning are Jennifer Tilly's fairly funny Madame Leota, a wisecracking Gypsy trapped in a bright green crystal medicine ball and Marsha Thomason, not for any acting ability but simply that she is beautiful and her beauty relieves some of the boredom.
Oh, well. At least it didn't have some character pontificating, "Follow your heart!"--the ubiquitous and hackneyed Disney message
This was a very poorly reviewed film, and it didn't deserve such flack.
For me, it was a dumb, entertaining movie with some heart. For others,
it was a terrible job of emulating the classic Disney ride and just
another stupid Eddie Murphy comedy vehicle. Though I'd rather go on the
ride as opposed to watching this, it still has it's charm. This movie
is about a Realtor (Murphy) and his family traveling to a haunted
mansion for a business deal. While in the house they learn some strange
things and end up traveling through various rooms found in the ride
(the bride, the ballroom, Madame Leota, the graveyard with the singing
busts). In the end, this is a fun movie for kids, and amusing for
adults, with fun references, and a fun performance by Murphy and the
My rating: ** 1/2 out of ****. 85 mins. PG for mild language, violence
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This movie did not work and was a disaster, considering the budget was
$90 million. The plot was so simplistic and done a thousand times. A
guy, in this case a ghost, wants his long lost love back, who he thinks
is reincarniated as Jim Evers' wife. He believes she committed suicide
back in the day. Of course, he was tricked and betrayed by someone he
trusted. So, Sara Evers gets lured back to the haunted mansion, but
brings her family along. Then her husband and kids have an adventure
involving ghosts and a talking crystal ball. But, it was written for a
10 year old, and it simply was not funny.
Eddie Murray had a slight come back with Daddy Day Care; that was OK and did have some funny things. But, this movie sends his career south. I don't understand why he agrees to be in these type of films; I guess for the pay check. But, I can't believe he read the script and said, "Now this is interesting, with good humor."
And the ghosts were bad CGI and not very imaginative. I could not believe the great Rick Baker was involved with this flick. Most of his ideas must not have been used.
FINAL VERDICT: I don't recommend it for anyone.
"The Haunted Mansion" is the latest movie to be based upon an attraction at the Disney theme parks. It stars Eddie Murphy as Jim Evers, a workaholic real estate agent who finds himself and his family trapped in a mansion infested with ghosts. The movie doesn't rank as well as "Pirates of the Caribbean." The story isn't all that it should be. But the movie does have its good points. The art direction is beautiful, and there are plenty of visual gems. The ghosts seen in the graveyard are probably the best part of the movie. Terence Stamp puts in a suitably creepy performance as Ramsley, the butler, and Jennifer Tilly is kooky as Madame Leota. "The Haunted Mansion" is no "Pirates of the Caribbean," but it is still worth a look.
The most disappointing thing about "The Haunted Mansion" is that its star,
Eddie Murphy, has once again lowered himself to silly kids' fare. I'm sure
some younger children may get a kick out of certain segments of "The
Mansion," but then again, its intended age group -- the 4-and-over
crowd --
will be undoubtedly scared by its eerie presence and quite frightening
visuals, such as when a father and his daughter are locked in a tomb and
find re-animated -- and quite realistic -- skeletons chasing them. The
moment of this all aside, the fact that these stiff creatures pursue the
young girl will most likely strike a chord with children. If you take your
kids to see this, you're just asking for nightmares.
Murphy is Jim Evers, a workaholic Realtor accused by his wife and co-Realtor, Sarah (Marsha Thomason), that he neglects his personal life far too often in favor of the cash he's making at work. So Jim promises Sarah and his two kids (Marc John Jefferies and Aree Davis) a relaxing getaway to a nearby lake. But first he's going to just make a quick stop at his newest assignment, the Gracey Manor, an old, crumbling mansion located in the heart of swamp area. The butler of the establishment, Ramsley (Terence Stamp), lets them in and eventually informs them that they will be unable to leave the house due to flooding on the road. Something strange is afoot, and the audience guesses what's going on about an hour before the movie's characters do, which is a tedious thought.
As we first suspect from the title, the ride, and the overall marketing of the movie, ghosts inhabit the mansion, and soon we learn that Master Gracey (Nathaniel Parker) plans on taking Sarah as his bride. Why? Just take a guess. She bears a startling resemblance to his old love, Elizabeth (also played by Thomason in flashbacks and such).
Now, I'm not going to try and sound racist here, but let's be blunt: Back when Master Gracey was alive, he would never have been near an African-American woman. And even if he were, it would surely be a matter brought up during the film's running time. Yet Disney seems afraid to touch the subject, as if it may offend its potential audience by even indicating racial technicalities. But all it does it make the whole situation come off as rather comical.
Meanwhile, Wallace Shawn ("The Princess Bride") provides supposed comic relief as a ghost. But to assume he can steal the movie himself is, of course, "inconceivable!"
So here we have an odd mix of horror and slapstick, pratfalls and frights. The movie is based on the Walt Disney World theme park ride, which is probably about three to five minutes long, and there's a reason for that. Its movie adaptation feels like a giant theme park ride, but the material can't support itself for a bare minimum ninety minutes, so we get a lot of nonsense about a ghost trying to marry a deceased love, and so on and so forth, minus the humor and flair and rousing feeling of Disney's surprise hit of 2003, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," which has started a trend we may (unfortunately) be seeing more of in the future.
And as for Murphy -- who was once one of Hollywood's bad boys -- where is he in this mess? Murphy seems way too eager to please in this movie, boasting his famous smile every second he can -- probably to evoke nostalgia of his older efforts. Or maybe he's just trying to remain totally optimistic. But you know a movie is in trouble when even Eddie Murphy can't manage to insert witty one-liners. Instead, he relies on the occasional bodily function joke, which is usually a good indication that an actor has hit rock bottom. I don't think it's that Eddie Murphy has lost his humor. I think it's that his humor has lost him.
"The Haunted Mansion" knows it's in a bad position from the start, and it doesn't even make an effort to give Murphy any funny lines whatsoever. It's directed by Rob Minkoff ("The Lion King," "Stuart Little"), and is proof that sometimes directors should be restricted to certain mediums of entertainment. "The Haunted Mansion" isn't a terrible movie, but it isn't anything special, and you can find the same quality material by flicking on ABC, Sunday nights at 7:00 p.m.
2.5/5 stars.
- John Ulmer
'The Haunted Mansion,' a film 'inspired' by the Disney theme-park
attraction of the same name, feels like a cross between 'The Haunting'
and 'The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.' Eddie Murphy is a real estate agent
working in tandem with his wife, Marsha Thomason. One day she receives
a call from a mysterious stranger asking her to check out some property
he wants to put up for sale. Even though the caller specifically asks
that she come alone, Murphy decides to go along with her, bringing
their two young children as well. When they arrive on the scene, the
family finds a mansion replete with all the paraphernalia common to a
conventional haunted house - sliding panels, hidden passageways, a
graveyard in the backyard, an eccentric owner, a creepy butler (played
with delicious relish by Terence Stamp) and, of course, a houseful of
unruly and unsettled resident ghosts. Once ensconced inside, the family
discovers much like homeowners in a buyer's market - that it's always
easier to get into a haunted house than it is to get out of one.
Murphy assumes the Bob Hope role of the comical skeptic who meets each and every danger with a defiant wisecrack and clever quip. Unfortunately, even Murphy, for all his talent, can't rescue material that doesn't have anything much there to begin with. The story is predictable and silly and the dialogue woefully bereft of laughs. There's also one glaring plot hole that should not go unremarked upon. Thomason is supposed to be a (pardon the pun) dead-ringer for a woman who killed herself a hundred and fifty years ago, yet there is no way that, in the context of that time, that woman could ever possibly have been black. Colorblindness is generally a good thing, but in this instance, it strikes at the very core of the story's internal credibility. The film's visual imagery does indeed derive from the Disney attraction statues whose eyes follow people around the room, dancing transparent ghosts, singing disembodied heads but there's a world of difference between a 5-minute amusement-park ride and an 85-minute full-length feature film. Before green-lighting the project, didn't any of the executives over at Disney ask if anyone had come up with a movie worth making? Given the results we see on screen, the answer is 'apparently not.'
There's no point here in launching into our perpetual lament over the downward spiral that Eddie Murphy's career continues to take. After all, if he isn't worried about the squandering of his once notable talent, why should we be? Life is just too short for that.

A new mobile health application developed by mental health professionals has set its sights on the estimated 40 million people in the U.S. currently living with anxiety.
Officials say the Anxiety Coach app was created as a self-help tool to help people reduce a variety of fears and worries, ranging from extreme shyness to obsessions and compulsions.
"The reason we created [the app] is because anxiety disorders are one of the most, if not the most common mental health problem faced by both kids and adults, and only approximately 30 percent of people receive treatment," says Stephen Whiteside, director of the Pediatric Anxiety Disorders Program at Mayo Clinic, psychiatrist and co-developer of the application, to Healthcare IT News. "And even though that's a small number, even a smaller number receive the most effective treatment, which is exposure-based cognitive behavior therapy."
[See also: As more consumers connect, mHealth market soars.]
Whiteside explains that the app itself consists of three parts. The first part includes educational material regarding anxiety and various treatments; the second part, dubbed "check-up," gives individuals a chance to measure their own anxiety symptoms by answering a variety of questions and then receive feedback; and the third part is considered the "main meat" of the project, allowing users to select from a list what they're afraid of, then participate in some 500 activities that, officials say, help reduce these worries. Some of the many activities focus on improving social and separation anxiety, and common worries, such as the fear of public speaking or heights.
The strategies used in the app are based on cognitive behavior therapy, a strategy many experts say is one of the most effective psychotherapies for fears and worries. In cognitive behavioral therapy, people increase their confidence by gradually confronting situations they have avoided out of fear. According to officials, research has demonstrated that cognitive behavioral therapy is more effective for anxiety than other approaches that rely on teaching people to relax.
Although officials understand the app's limitations when compared to cognitive behavior therapy itself, they still anticipate that it will provide additional strategies for some 18 percent of the country currently suffering from anxiety.
"While we don't think this app is a replacement for therapy, we hope that it would help bring effective principles for helping people with their fears and worries to a broader number of people who are suffering from anxiety," says Whiteside.

Dec. 9 trial set on lawsuit from 100-vehicle crash
BEAUMONT, Texas (AP) — Trial is set next month on a lawsuit filed by children of a suburban Houston couple killed on Thanksgiving Day a year ago in a 100-vehicle pileup on a foggy stretch of Interstate 10 in Southeast Texas.
Two sons and a daughter of Vincent Leggio Sr., and his wife, Debra, of Pearland, are suing a trucking firm, truck driver and two other motorists. According to the suit, the trucker was driving too fast for conditions when the crash occurred west of Beaumont. Some 80 others were injured.
State District Judge Donald Lloyd is considering a motion from defendants to delay the trial, set for Dec. 9 in Beaumont.
Court documents examined by The Beaumont Enterprise (http://bit.ly/1b1Pyhx) show the trucker and the trucking firm deny responsibility for the couple's deaths.

Using your food processor's shredding blade makes this simple bistro salad a very doable weeknight option.
"Tater Tots" with Spicy Mayonnaise
No disrespect to the frozen tots these are based on, but making your own is way more fun than opening a bag (and they taste better, too).
Crispy Salt-and-Vinegar Potatoes
Cooking the potatoes in vinegar seasons them from within, and a final drizzle boosts the flavor.
Artichokes with Parmesan–Black Pepper Yogurt
Any sharp, salty cheese will work in this dip; try Pecorino or feta.
Smoked Gouda Grits
You could use any melting cheese in this recipe, such as a sharp cheddar, fontina, or Gruyère—in which case, just call them "Cheesy Grits."

Fresh baby turnips have none of the sharp, bitter bite found in big ones. Look for Tokyo or harukei turnips at your farmers' market. Many butchers carry duck fat, or you can order it from dartagnan.com.

Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program. A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..
The information provided in this report is based on comments made by Mark Haverman, Shiymy Bayer, and Dominque Porche-Goode during an on-site inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward Customer Focus Services.
Customer Focus Service's (CFS) target market is anyone with a computer that is trying to use it primarily for work purposes that are having problems or issues needing to be resolved which stops them from being able to accomplish tasks. The company has been providing technical support for large corporations and companies. They feel they are very skilled at solving large issues as they have been in business for over 12 years. CFS states they have resolved close to half a million issues which provides their strong expertise and development of a deep knowledge base of issues that can be resolve over that period of time.
The typical experience that a customer may experience when working with CFS starts when the client calls in about a technical problem. The client will then explain the issue and CFS will describe how to fix the problem and how much it will cost. The company then sends the client an agreement of this term which is to be signed and sent back. From there, the company works with customers to fix problems. If for some reason CFS cannot fix the problem they will refund the customer's money and tell them where the next best place to get the item fixed.
Most of the company's advisement in products and services is handled in the sales department. They are trained to see symptoms and know what can be done to fix issues but are not trained to do them in that department. The sales department knows general things like if X is happening then Y would usually be the answer and they'll recommend that. CFS has all the reps ask them if everything has been resolved during the course of working with the client. They take notes during the conversation and have the reps go through each point to ask them if there is anything else they can do. The company recently started sending out a survey to everyone after they have spoken with them. It is about 10-12 question survey asking all different aspects of their experience such as: How quickly was the issue resolved? Was the issue resolved to your satisfaction? How knowledgeable was the rep you spoke to? How would you rate them? Do you have any comments? The company states they are constantly asking the customer for feedback, what their thoughts are and what they want them to do. They ask the customer what they want and if it is in reason the company tries to accommodate the request.
"Omni Tech Support has taken step to improve our customer service by hiring a team of expert customer service personal that work right here, with the CEO, in the corporate office. This enables us to see directly into what issues customers are bringing to our attention and we can roll out the necessary improvements and changes with moments notice, as the heads of the team work in the same office as the management.
In working with customers to make sure they understand their purchases, the company feels they have developed a pretty solid system. When the customer signs up, CFS sends them the terms of service and anything relevant to what they offer. Additionally, the company sends them an ecosign summarizing what they are paying for (the price, what is included, etc.) and the customer has to sign and send it back. After that is completed, the company will then work on their computer. The customer has to acknowledge they know what the company is doing and they agree with the charges.
Customer Focus Services wants to be able to cut the time it takes to resolve an issue. Mark Haverman stated, "Many times a customer's computer is slow or there are issues with the computer speed or the Internet speed and we are constantly looking for ways to decrease the amount of time it takes to diagnose the issue and to resolve the issue. To that effect we are increasing our knowledge base to make sure that the agent tech support has the most current information about that issue and the fastest way to fix that. There's still improvement to be made when our tech support is having trouble so instead of having a technician to sit there and try to work it out their self, we escalate it to a higher level much quicker. We're investing in automated tools that will help fix the issues. There are a number of initiatives that we are in the process of that will reduce the amount of time it will take to resolve the issue. That is probably our number one thing that we need to do as an organization in order to provide a better level of service to our customers."
The company states when resolving complaints it is taking too long to fix an issue. To remedy this, CFS basically focuses on the issue, is thorough and acts as quick as possible. They feel they actually have a knowledge base that lends to anytime anything is ever happened in any computer and was resolved successfully its added to their knowledge base. When a customer contacts the company they can discover what the problem is so that the lower tier technicians will look through the knowledge base and see what works to try first. The company is working to speed up their processes.
"Dominque Porche-Goode recalled an instance of working with a customer stating. "We had somebody from Canada who we connected his computer but his computer was painfully slow so we couldn't run scans. We had him send his computer to us and we paid for his shipping. We tried to fix his computer here but it was so badly infected so we bought him a new laptop. He wasn't satisfied in the beginning because it was taking too long and the techs were telling him his computer wasn't working fast enough to have it scanned."
Since the company has received complaints through Ripoff Report, they have started sending out surveys. Additionally, they have been following up with customers closer to when they have been escalated. The company also notes they have been taking a lot of inbound calls in their corporate office. If a customer calls the main line and it is not resolved right away they will take it in the corporate office. The difference between their office and the other office is that they can do whatever we need to in their corporate office.
Customer Focus Services feels the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program commits to certain standards of how to deal with customers by making sure that important issues are dealt with appropriately. The company states they resolve the issues for customers or we provide them with a refund and have a number of different 24/7 customer service and support reps if they have an issue we get it resolved quickly. Mark Haverman stated "The CAP program is our commitment to following Ripoff Report's guidelines of providing our customers a quality experience."
Within the company's upper management they state that they want every customer satisfied. Mark Havermen mentions, "Sometimes we cannot resolve the issue and the customer still has an issue that is beyond our capability. In that case we issue a full refund but there can be a situation where the customer still has a problem and we can't help them. We refer them out to an offsite technician or the manufacturer and tell them we try to do whatever we can do to make the customer satisfied whether it is a full refund or a gift certificate. There have been times where we paid for the shipping for them to send the computer to our office to fix. We try to do whatever we can do to satisfy the customer within our abilities. We have learned the speed of resolution is really important and having 24/7 customer service is important. We definitely have learned things from the feedback we are getting and we have definitely built a better business from it."
Omni Tech Support / Statements from the owner.
"Omni Tech Support has grown exponentially in the past few years to become one of the leading online tech support companies available. We have also doubled and trippled our efforts to be the best provider of 3rd party support for Microsoft products, and offer ongoing training and tips to both our staff and clients alike to ensure that the highest level of support is always available. Omni Tech Support is committed to cutting edge technology; by hiring an executive R&D department that tests the latest and greatest in tech support, we ensure that everything we do is cutting edge and will help our clients to the best of our ability.
Omni Tech Support's service team have expressed that they feel very confident doing their job. The project manager at Omni stated "The research and development team is absolutely amazing. We can login in the morning to the ever growing K-Base and find hundreds of updated articles, service materials and references that we didn't see the previous day. With support at the level, it is understandable why we are referred to as experts."
"Satisfying a customer's expectations to our best ability is the best sign of growing success". Some of the other things Ripoff Report learned in the course of its investigation: typical customer feedback reads: "Omni Tech Support truly communicate all aspects of the job in a timely and effective manner. We are very pleased with the responsiveness that he and his employees show us. They are serious about meeting commitments, and deliver on all their promises."
In summary, after our investigation, which included discussions with the CEO of Omni Tech Support, and many of his past and current associates, Ripoff Report is convinced that Omni Tech Support is committed to quality delivery of services resulting in total client satisfaction.

OmniTech Support ? computer optimization, new incident, InternetDue to some problems with my VAIO laptop, I clicked on support and was directed to OmniTech - I *think* it was through the VAIO software or maybe through a website search and their name came up...
After 2-3 hours, they were able to optimize my computer (in fairness, it does run a bit faster), but they also disabled my function key and a few other items - they stated I could recontact them if there were still problems.
In contacting them tonight, they told me that the incident was considered closed and I would have to pay again - this after already paying $60 for their services.
They were able to speed things up, BUT a few things have "disappeared" or no longer function - this should be a customer's choice and not imposed on us...
I will CC this to SONY and let them know - I do not want to have this drag on; all I want to do is get things running and be done with it.

#1 UPDATE Employee
As Mr. Frank is our customer, we would be happy to assist him regarding the issue. If the issue can be resolved within FREE 15 minutes support, our technician will be glad to resolve the issue.
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, March 21, 2012POSTED: Wednesday, March 21, 2012
After getting the remote access, our technician checked the customers computer and performed required troubleshooting steps and then resolved the issue with touchpad first. Next, our technician resolved the issue with computer startup, too. BOTH those issues were resolved completely and the
customer gave us issue resolution confirmation.
Below is the chat transcript:
7:13 PM Sony Support- Tech 16: Could you please let me know if the issue with computer boot to windows slow is resolved now?
7:13 PM Frank Striegl: Seems faster, yes...
7:14 PM Frank Striegl: Still had to do the internet connection twice - maybe it was too soon - seems it works better after the "gadgets" (usage meters) are loaded and running...
7:15 PM Sony Support- Tech 16: I understand that the issue with the Touchpad and computer boot to Windows slow is RESOLVED now; is that correct?
7:15 PM Frank Striegl: Yes, looks better; thanks.
7:15 PM Sony Support- Tech 16: Thanks for the confirmation.
7:15 PM Sony Support- Tech 16: You are welcome.
7:16 PM Sony Support- Tech 16: Let me schedule the Optimization for the
computer now.
7:16 PM Frank Striegl: OK; thanks.
7:16 PM Sony Support- Tech 16: You are welcome.
7:17 PM Sony Support- Tech 16: Let me escalate the session for Optimization now.
7:17 PM Frank Striegl: OK
On the same day we performed, as promised, a one time Optimization session on the customers computer and sent a detailed service report to the customer.
On January 28, 2012 the customer sent us a mail saying that he was facing an issue with touchpad hypersensitivity. Hence, we requested the customer to get back to us so that we could check the issue in detail.
On January 29, 2012 Mr. Frank contacted us back with completely DIFFERENT issue from the initial issue; that is the Function keys were not working as expected. Then our technician apologized and stated that we were not authorized to provide 15 minutes of free support work for a second issue on his computer, as the initial issue had been resolved. However, the customer did not agree and he claimed that the issue was occurred after we optimized his computer and then disconnected the chat.
We, Omnitech Support, provide contractual customer support for our client, SONY, on their in-warranty and out of warranty consumer products. When a customer comes in with an issue on an
out-of-warranty Sony computer, they are redirected to our OmniTech Support site which we host for Sony customers. We offer 15-minutes of free support to these customers. We solve over 50% of the issues that customers bring us on these out-of-warranty Sony computers during the FREE period, because we are very good at and efficient in what we do and Sony wants their customers to have the best support experience in the industry.
In this instance, the customer came back to us with a totally different issue that was clearly not caused by us. Had this next issue been related to the initial issue, then our technician would be happy to resolve that issue for FREE, as the customer already made a payment for that initial issue resolution. However this issue was in no way related to his first issue. Its like a customer complaining that his cars tail light didnt work after he had his cars oil changed.
As Mr. Frank is our customer, we would be happy to assist him regarding the issue. If the issue can be resolved within FREE 15 minutes support, our technician will be glad to resolve the issue and we will not charge him an extra cent. Mr. Frank wants to get things running and be done with that. However, its not always technically possible to solve all issues within a free period.
We have always been a company where we want our customers to be 100% delighted with their purchase thats why we have earned and maintained an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

UPDATED: Smoking City Hall heater self extinguishes, adds to puns on city-school board solar talks
Bike paths, new tree ordinance, water rates and utility projects discussed in Council double-header
MARCO ISLAND - "Things really heated up," Fire Chief Mike Murphy joked.
The comment was made following the joint meeting with City Council and the Collier County School Board regarding plans for the School Board to install solar panels on their Island property. Residents voiced clear opposition to the proposal and City Council continued into a double-header on city business later in the afternoon and evening.
Murphy's joke wasn't just about the controversial conversation of solar on the land, Tract K.
The heater at City Hall was literally smoking and heating up, however with Murphy and Steve Fickling of the fire department on site, the workshop continued without much interruption.
After a workshop of background information to clarify issues such as money being carried forward between fiscal years, Council moved forward and approved all agenda items Tuesday evening.
Council unanimously approved to carry forward any money leftover from 2008 projects to 2009 in the evening meeting following the workshop.
"There was some confusion at the last meeting, but I think we've worked through that now. These are all projects continued from one year to the next," said City Manager Steve Thompson.
Council approved 5-1, with City Councilman Chuck Kiester opposing, a request for a sewer vacuum truck for $330,000.
After the cost of staffing the truck, the public works department will save about $50,000 a year by no longer using a Fort Myers-based contractor to come to the island to unclog the sewer due to grease or clean up in the event of disasters such as the 18,000 gallon spill in late 2008, said Rony Joel, director of public works.
Al Musico, chairman of the bike path committee, which was formed in 2006, said Marco has two types of bicyclists: Those comfortable riding in the road with cars and those more comfortable on a path shared with pedestrians.
"For the intermediate to advanced riders, to them, pedestrians are an obstacle. They prefer the in-road bike lane," Musico said.
Island riders are evenly split between beginner and advanced riders, so the city should accommodate both types, he added.
There are currently 26.2 miles of bike baths, 17.5 miles of which are on-the-road lanes. See plans in photo gallery on left.
The project is about 40 percent complete and in 2009 bike paths along Kendall Drive, Heathwood Drive and the unfinished segments of Winterberry Drive will be done completing all the main arteries, Musico said.
"Coincidentally, in our (Jan. 16 goal setting) workshop, one of the dreams is that Marco would be on the front cover of the friendliest cycling magazine," said Popoff.
"We'll put ourselves in," Musico responded.
Kiester said he had "communications with a resident about a Ficus tree overgrowing a house."
Eric Wardle, chief of code enforcement, said in a follow-up interview that complaints of trees growing into neighboring properties is common, but it is treated as a civil issue.
Parks and Recreation Director Bryan Milk, formerly the city planner, said a tree ordinance is in the works to help deal with the issue and will come to the planning board for consideration sometime in February.
"If a tree encroaches into the sidewalk we can manage. Otherwise, it's generally a civil issue between property owners. But I'm not an attorney and I don't even like to play one on TV," Thompson said.
The utility department recognized a need to restructure their rates given increases in chemicals and electricity by 30 to 40 percent since the rates were set five years ago. Residents Amadeo Petricca and Don Henderson joined Maria Aguilar, the city's finance controller, Joel and interim Finance Director Bob Creighton in scoring seven firms' qualifications to perform a rate study.
Public Resources Management Group received the highest ranking from the scoring committee and council approved a contract for the firm to perform the utility rate study.
Kiester questioned whether PRMG was a quality firm based on their study of the cost to stop the then controversial septic tank replacement project.
"I cannot and will not support any firm that walks up to you and says 'what would you like the number to be?," Kiester said.
Joel excused himself from the process because he once worked with one of the top ranked firms, Camp, Dresser and McKee, based out of Cambridge, Mass.
"PRMG worked on the initial rate study with us. We gave them somewhat of a preference for that," Creighton said.
"I think we should get some new blood in here," Kiester replied.
Petricca and resident Roger Hall agreed with Kiester and suggested an ad hoc committee work with PRMG on the study.
Kiester said a citizens' committee may help because inequitable rates between single family homes and condos have also made the topic sensitive.
"It wouldn't hurt and it just might help for more people to accept the results," he added.
Thompson and Creighton disagreed saying the rate study is simply comprised of facts.
Council approved PRMG's rate study for $50,000 to $100,000, 5-1, with Kiester dissenting.
Kiester again questioned the process of choosing a firm for a utility project.
"Why not go out to bid?" Kiester asked Joel.
"It's a continued assignment under an umbrella contract," Joel replied.
CDM was recommended to design the improvements to the reclaimed water facility for $554,060.
"Council knows I used to work with CDM. I'm professional enough that if they were not doing a good job I would not recommend them," Joel said.
He added that if a new firm were selected "it would disrupt the system."
The design contract was approved 5-1, Kiester dissented.
Tract K options
At the conclusion of the meeting resident Bill McMullan suggested a citizens' committee to look into options for Tract K.
Resident Roger Hall agreed and suggested a committee to investigate the possibility for a Marco Island high school.
"Tract K is one issue the community can all agree on," said Councilman Rob Popoff.
The idea is likely to come forward in a future council meeting.

In a quieter time in Kiev, Ukranians stroll on Khreshchatyk Street, which leads to Independence Square, the site of recent protests.
- Filed Under
Kiev, Ukraine, is currently the most reported-on yet little-known world capital in the news. When someone discovers I've been there four times in less than eight years, the first question is "Why?" followed by "Where is the Ukraine?" My responses are, "It's a long story, but here goes," and "it's not the Ukraine, just Ukraine, surrounded by Poland, Belarus, Russia, and the Black Sea."
In the spring of 2005, I housed two Ukrainian musicians from the Kiev Youth Orchestra and Choir after a local performance. At the concert, musicians sported orange ribbons on their instruments, because months ...

Trainer Dutrow Jr. confident Big Brown will bring home Triple Crown
Casino Drive is being portrayed as a serious threat to keeping Big Brown from winning the elusive Triple Crown with a Belmont Stakes victory.
But Big Brown trainer Rick Dutrow Jr. isn't buying the hype.
"He's got no chance of beating our horse," Dutrow told reporters Wednesday. "I'll be in the winner's circle when they get to the quarter pole. That's how I feel. I don't see that this horse can beat him."
Why is Casino Drive being talked up so much?

Read full Cygnett SecondSkin Ink iPad 2 Case review
Injecting a lump of silicone with personality is hard to do, but the
Cygnett SecondSkin Ink iPad 2 case gives it a shot with an inoffensive
back design. It's a little expensive for what's little more than an
above-average silicone sleeve, but its finish and thickness outclass
bottom-rung options.

Inspirational Books for the needy & Prisoners
Sharing A Course in Miracles & The Means for Spiritual Rehabilitation
This intention of this project is to deliver A Course in Miracles, Letter To A Prisoner and related books to the needy and to prisoners.
Whether your prison is made of concrete and steel or feelings of powerlessness, fear, or regret, Joe Wolfe offers a lifeline to freedom.
What does it feel like to get hit in the head by a cosmic 2X4? We sometimes think of awakening as a single thunderbolt experience after which our lives are instantly and permanently changed. More often than not, however, awakening evolves from a series of subtle and not-so-subtle love taps from God.
Reverend Joe Wolfe, writer, author, speaker and Founder and Director of Spirit Light Outreach, relays his own personal experience with God's love taps. Embittered by the harshness and emptiness of life in an orphanage, Joe eventually graduated from juvenile crimes and a series of reform schools to the "Big Time"—maximum-security prison. In his message, Joe recounts his experiences in prison, his escape attempts and years in solitary confinement, and the five powerful mystical experiences—The Five Signs—that transformed his life. In this inspiring inside talk with an agnostic's journey from victim turned victimizer to victor, we journey along with Joe from skepticism to trust—in the potentiality of each and every individual.
Joe Wolfe is the author of four books, Letter To A Prisoner The End of Reincarnation with The Five Signs, In Warm Blood and A Mystic's Message. He currently hosts a national prison ministry that has been delivering free inspirational books to prisoners for over ten years. During that time many men and women incarcerated in prison have had their lives touched and completely changed through the books sent to them.
Wolfe has been invited to speak to Unity Church & Spiritual congregations all over the country, including Arizona, Texas, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida, Arkansas, Missouri, Pennsylvania, New York and Illinois. In April of 2015 he has been invited to speak in the UK and in Ireland.
The primary long-term goal of Spirit Light Outreach is to deliver at least three copies of Letter To A Prisoner to every one of the 1,160+ state and federal prison libraries in the United States, our own back yard. And then to expand distrubution to include the delivery of this important book to prison libraries all over the world.
