ACOUSTICOM INTRODUCES THE MEDITATION STATION CHAIR PRESENTED BY GOODTRUEBEAUTIFUL, INC.
Las Vegas, Nevada, January 7. 2011 – Acousticom Corporation today announced the Meditation Station™ Chair presented by GoodTrueBeautiful, Inc., a refinement of Acousticom’s Sound Egg Audio Chair that makes the already-beneficial practice of meditation even more effective and easier to incorporate into daily life. Acousticom, located in CES booth 5321 in the North Hall, Grand Lobby, is demonstrating the Sound Egg Chair throughout the 2011 International CES. Live demonstrations of the Meditation Chair are available at the GoodTrueBeautiful store in Washington, D.C.
As explained by Joel Cochran, Acousticom’s Director of Public Relations, "The Meditation Station™ utilizes the Sound Egg’s isolation features to achieve serenity." By incorporating those isolation features, the Meditation Chair becomes a ready-made sanctuary from the noise and distraction of everyday life. It provides an enveloping cocoon that makes it easy to effect the transition from the daily fray to a place of serenity and peaceful isolation. For many people, finding a private space away from distractions is a real obstacle to getting the most out of a meditation session. The Meditation Station™ makes it possible to experience that place of peace and silence whenever the time is right.
Acousticom has recognized that not everyone gets the most out of meditating in complete silence. For those who find sounds conducive to meditation, the Sound Egg Chair includes built-in speakers that provide an unparalleled audio experience. This is the perfect environment for listening to ambient or natural sounds on CD or for experiencing recordings specifically designed to enhance the practice of meditation. With or without sound, there is no better way to create a personal retreat from distraction and stress, and nothing else that so easily welcomes the meditative state of mind.
The Meditation Station™ is presented by GoodTrueBeautiful, Inc. and a live demonstration is available at its store located in Union Station in Washington, D.C. As part of its mission, GoodTrueBeautiful donates 10% of the proceeds of its sales to the Golden Phoenix Foundation, a charitable organization. The mission of the Golden Phoenix Foundation, in light of the widespread neglect and institutionalization of orphaned children in many countries, is to end child abandonment throughout the world.
The Sound Egg chair, which made its debut at CES in Las Vegas in January 2010, is the latest in a long line of innovative products by Acousticom Corporation. Acousticom was founded by Ben and Jean Cochran in October of 1980; the company recently celebrated its 30th year in business. During those thirty years, Acousticom has produced topnotch microphones, earphones, cable assemblies and headsets. Their customers include many major aerospace companies and the Department of Defense. A series of exciting changes – especially the debut of the Sound Egg audio chair – have recently brought Acousticom back into the limelight.

Rip-Off Report: BW Service Experts–Michiana
by CpU on Nov.05, 2010, under Business, Michiana, News
If you are looking to get your furnace fixed this winter, try to avoid BW Service Experts for your next heating and cooling system repair in Mishawaka, Elkhart, or South Bend.
Why? Because they overcharge for parts and labor. They do not calculate your service charge based on the amount of time spent, parts costs (plus a little profit of course). Instead they have a set price for the part and install. What to expect if you have to change the ignition board on your furnace.
Expect a quote of $475 for the part and labor. This does not include the initial fee for them to come look at your furnace.
Lets break down this quote because the technician will most likely not tell you how much you are paying for parts, and how much you are paying for labor. Don’t forget tax (but who knows what that taxable amount is unless you drill the tech for lack of information.)
A typical ignition board costs roughly $100-200 give or take. Mine particularly was $109.00.
So breaking down the costs directly:
| Service/Diagnostics Fee: | $100 |
| Replacement Part Cost: | $120 (Shipping, Tax) |
| Labor: | $355 |
| Total: | $575 |
Now how hard is this part to replace? Not hard – actually it took an 8-minute video on HVAC for Beginners to replace a much similar board.
So to sum things up, for roughly 60 minutes of work, they earn $355 plus the $100 diagnostics fee (Or we call that labor). Rip-Off Report Confirmed – and if you are looking to have work done on your next heating and cooling equipment, I suggest you find a local company that isn’t controlled by CORPORATE fingers.
The one thing this company did right was walk away from the diagnostics fee. Offered with out my request after I broke down the numbers over the phone with the manager that could not be found that evening. I did not have any work done and excused the tech from my house. He was happy to leave while also leaving my door open to the cold weather. Standing two feet from my back door (as it was wide open) waiting for his fee while I spend 20 minutes trying to get ahold of someone who can explain this poor service and untrustworthy business practices.
When the technician makes sighs and statement like, “I hope you have a credit card, last time I did one it was expensive.” Be worried and do your homework. There are plenty of hardworking American Companies who deserve your money and BW Heating and Air-conditioning in Mishawaka, South Bend, and Elkhart is NOT one of them.
The location I experienced this is in the Mishawaka, Elkhart, South Bend Area.
