Call our customer service representatives and get expert advices for your Dremel tool.
Freqently Asked Questions
A: Check the motor brushes every 50-60 hours of use. When they are 1/4" in length, brushes are considered worn and should be changed. Remember: After motor brushes are replaced, the tool should be run for 5 minutes with no load to seat the new brushes.
A: The contour sander is in-line reciprocating. This motion gives increased control and smoother finishes.
A: At less than 2 pounds, this tool is designed for hours of comfortable use with precision control.
A: The coarser the paper, the harder it will be to snap into place because the paper is thicker.
A: If you're having trouble finding what you need, you can order directly from us by calling 1-800-437-3635.
A: The detail pad will wear. Part of the reason it wears has to do with sanding and debris-like sand grit and wood getting caught in the foam buffer area. One of the ways to combat this is to let the tool do the work on your sanding project. Pushing harder on the sanding pad will not create a smoother, more complete finish faster; it will wear the pad out very rapidly. With the sander moving a minimum of 4,000 strokes per minute, pushing harder should not be necessary.
A: Contour shapes can be customized by trimming or shaping to a desired form using a Dremel® rotary tool with a drum sander.

Five months into her pregnancy and just back from a Caribbean "babymoon" in Mustique, the Duchess of Cambridge is stepping up her work as she returns to her royal duties.
Kate, 31, is set for a visit to the port of Grimsby, about 180 miles from London in north eastern England, where she will be shown the local work of one of her father-in-law Prince Charles's best known charities, the Prince's Trust.
On the March 5 "away day," she will also see a local school and take in a history lesson on the local fishing industry when she tours the town's museum.
With the fashion-conscious princess also thinking about her maternity wear, she's reportedly turned to friends Natasha Rufus Isaacs and Lavinia Brennan at Beulah London for some frocks, it was reported Monday – though the company did not wish to comment.
On Tuesday of this week, Kate will return to public work by visiting a treatment center run by one of her charities, Action on Addiction, a women's-only project in Clapham, London.
"These women would have chosen to have some time out of the company of men and they need to focus on themselves," charity chief executive Nick Barton tells PEOPLE. "This is more about the longer term, helping people sustain their recovery and think about the things that makes them vulnerable to relapse."
Royal aides tell PEOPLE that Kate is set to pick some new patronages in the coming weeks, to add to the several she adopted in January 2012.
As it is, the non-profit group 100 Women in Hedge Funds – already associated with Prince William – has announced it will partner with Action on Addiction for Kate's first year of her patronage.

MARTINSBURG - When a child is abducted, cellphones across the Eastern Panhandle may start buzzing, after the debut of FEMA's national Amber Alert system in January.
The system, which sends text message alerts to millions of cellphones, has caused confusion, according to the Associated Press. Most newer cellphones come equipped with the service, and reports of recipients writing off the alerts as spam have surfaced.
The alerts, according to First Lieutenant D. L. Frye, director of the West Virginia State Police's Child Abuse and Neglect Unit, are not intended as a call for action, but rather a heads-up.
"Just keep your eyes open," Frye said. "That's the key to an Amber Alert, getting the information out the public so they can react to it."
According to the Amber Alert website, four alerts were issued in West Virginia between 2006 and 2011. Frye, who was not yet serving in his current role when Amber Alerts started, said since the program's 1996 inception, he approximates between seven and 10 alerts have been issued in the state. To the best of his knowledge, all of the victims were recovered, he said.
"You don't want to use it for everything," Frye said. "Because just like everything else, the more you see something, the less you pay attention to it."
While initial recipients of the cellphone alerts across the country reported feeling helpless, Frye said the service could be helpful to authorities in the search for an abducted child.
"It's that many more eyes looking at the situation at that point in time," Frye said. "That's what it's there for, to get the information out to as many people in as quick a fashion as possible."
W.Va. State Policeman Sgt. Michael M. T. Baylous, public information officer, agreed with Frye's sentiment.
"Any means of disseminating information to the public during an Amber Alert would be beneficial to authorities," Baylous said. "The more eyes and ears we have out there that can help us perform our duties, the more chances we have at doing that in a successful manner."

Patent reform and the Covered Business Method program
Expanding the 'Covered Business Method' program: Sensible patent reform ... and why opponents have it wrong
Before the summer Congressional recess, a broad coalition of job-creating businesses added their voices to the pro-reform chorus with a ringing letter to Congress urging that expansion of the Covered Business Method (CBM) program be a cornerstone of any patent reform legislation being considered.
The CBM program provides an innovative, carefully tailored means to address a particularly heinous abuse: manipulating the patent litigation system through aggressive use of unclear and overly broad business method patents by patent aggression entities (PAEs). It is currently limited to business method patents involving financial service products.
These type of patents, rather than embodying meaningful innovation, are a disproportionate basis for PAEs' abusive tactics. They can be used to assert almost any infringing act. When their validity is challenged in court, defendants win more than 90% of the time—but only after spending millions of dollars. The CBM program is an appropriate, more cost-effective alternative to lengthy litigation in these situations.
The coalition letter, signed by Red Hat, reflects a wide array of sectors. It bolsters efforts like those by Sen. Charles Schumer (S. 886, the "Patent Quality Improvement Act of 2013") and Cong. Darryl Issa and Cong. Judy Chu (H.R. 2766, the "Stopping the Offensive Use of Patents Act," or "STOP Act") who have introduced companion legislation to remove the program's sunset (AIA provides it will end in 2020) and expand the program to cover all business method patents (not just financial services business methods patents, as the law currently provides).
The coalition effort also recognizes the steps taken by the White House earlier this year, as part of its legislative and regulatory reform priorities, which called for expanding the CBM program "to include a broader category of computer-enabled patents and permit a wider range of challengers to petition for review of issued patents before the Patent Trial and Appeals Board (PTAB)."
Some are opposed
Not surprisingly, some public opposition to expanding and extending the CBM program has emerged.
Concerns generally come from the traditional patent bar, which views any changes to the patent system with skepticism. A former long-time senior official at the US Patent & Trademark Office is typical of this view, expressing concern about possible "uncertainty" with the proposed expansion.
In addition, a number of larger software companies are working against any expansion. While acknowledging the need to correct the economic asymmetries that make abusive patent litigation an attractive business model for PAEs, they and their representatives voice concerns with "singling out computer-enabled inventions as class" and that the CBM program has only been in effect a short while. Just last week, a letter signed by around 100 firms, led by trade groups like the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), BSA | The Software Alliance, and the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), restated their opposition in a letter to Capitol Hill.
A look at the arguments
Let's look at the specific arguments put forward by the those who oppose the measure.
Singling out software-related patents undermines the patent system. This line of argument reflects a long-standing principle of the traditional patent community that all patents should be treated equally; distinguishing among them risks the integrity of the system.
But the unique impact of software-related patents on abusive litigation is now well recognized. As the White House report, Patent Assertion and U.S. Innovation indicated, "PAEs take advantage of uncertainty about the scope or validity of patent claims, especially in software-related patents." Numerous studies, including decades-long work of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), precede and reaffirm this unambiguous effect. Software patents are the subject of a disproportionate share of patent litigations. Over half (55%) of all patent defendants and 82% of PAE defendants are there because of a software patent, many of which are vague, overbroad, and likely to be invalid.
In fact, patent policy has recognized that differentiation can in fact enhance the system to address problems and pitfalls that arise. Notably, the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act, (the 'Hatch-Waxman Act') codified distinct treatment of pharmaceutical patents, a response to the particular regulatory and litigation environment in which they operate.
If this line of argument is taken to its logic conclusion, those pushing it would have to explain why they also support the US PTO's "Software Qualty Partnership" efforts, which are predicated on the agency's assessment that "software-related patents pose unique challenges from both an examination and an enforcement perspective." As documented at the roundtables and in comments to the US PTO earlier this year, the current system already distinguishes treatment of software-related patents in a variety of ways.
In fact, the same standard for patentability that applies to every other patent will apply to those subject to the CBM program. Expanding the CBM program does not change the standards for patenting business methods. It provides a procedural response to the specific litigation abusessurrounding these patents, which are nine times more likely to be litigated than other categories of patents. (This point directly answers the concern expressed in the NAM-BSA-BIO letter regarding potential TRIPS Article 27 concerns.)
There are existing procedures to challenge patent validity. Those making this argument point to the availability of existing procedures, which have been updated with the AIA. The two most applicable here are post-grant review and inter partes review.
While certainly important tools for certain situations, none of these existing procedures are designed to address the unique impact of software-related patents on patent litigation abuse.
For example, even if the current flaw (correcting the scrivener's error in the estoppel provision in the AIA) regarding post-grant review is fixed in the current legislative reform effort, it will apply only to patents having an effective filing date after March 16, 2013, thereby excluding the vast majority of potentially eligible poor quality patents.
Moreover, under traditional inter partes reexamination or post-AIA inter partes review, the potential bases for the request are strictly limited to granted patents and printed publications. But for claims covering software-related patents, much of the best prior art is often functioning computer systems or commercial products. These are unavailable for consideration in either reexamination or review.
The CBM program, however, because it is a response to the unique nature and challenges of software-related patents, permits the submission of anything that is prior art pursuant to Section 102(a) of the Patent Act, which includes art known or used by others in the US.
In short, only the CBM program is designed to allow the US PTO to consider whether these type of patents are invalid for being vague, over broad or abstract.
The CBM program places too much burden on the US PTO and patent owners should have their day in court. Those working against expansion of the program, even against its current formulation, assert that expansion of the program, in the face of rising demands and sequestrations cuts, overly burdens the US PTO with a new obligation. Instead, they argue, patent owners should be able to have their unrestricted day in court.
As a narrowly tailored solution to a specific problem, which can only be initiated once litigation has been started or threatened (unlike other forms of review), opponents of the CBM program and its expansion are likely exaggerating the number of cases that will be brought. This is particularly true since the statute limits the CBM program to exclude patents that are a technological innovation. In any case, review is not cheap and funds the program (the fee to be paid to US PTO to request a CBM review is $30,000). I remind readers that the White House included expansion of the program in its priorities earlier this year.
The impact of the potential for review, however, cannot be underestimated, as it will contribute—like other provisions being considered on cost/fee shifting, clarity of plea pleadings, etc., in legislative reforms—to correcting the current imbalance that fuels PAEs in their litigation calculations. Defendants in PAE suits often settle based on the cost of litigation and not on the merits. A less expensive alternative to litigation is desperately needed.
As for concern about precluding patent owners' day in court, the CBM program is available only when the patent owner has put a 'covered' patent into play by bringing suit or threatening to sue. It cannot be used to challenge a whole portfolio. (The NAM-BSA-BIO letter ignores this fact.) A party challenging validity under the program must submit a substantial, 'front-loaded' petition setting out all its arguments and evidence. The US PTO will institute review only if it determines based on the petition and response that it is "more likely than not" that the patent is invalid, hardly a dam-busting threshold.
Where litigation has begun, judges may stay a District Court proceeding involving a 'covered' patent review using a number of factors that encourage efficient proceedings—and give PAE defendants their chance to bring their best invalidity argument before experts at the US PTO without destroying their ability to defend themselves in the future.
A reasonable, tailored approach
Ultimately, the expansion of the CBM program shifts the high cost of abusive litigation (the cost of which for a target of PAE threats can approach millions of dollars, even if there is settlement) away from the over burdened courts into a carefully tailored review program.
The program is designed to bring clarity as quickly as possible to patents that are notoriously and far too often overbroad, unclear, and used to game the patent litigation system.
This is far from the promotion of 'uncertainty' as suggested by some. Rather, its the embodiment of current reform efforts to reduce litigation abuse and help restore confidence in our patent system.
Ed. Note: A shout out to my colleague, David Perry, whose expertise and insights were invaluable in preparing this post.

patent law states that algorithms cannot be patented. All software patents are illegal.
From the article: "The CBM program is an appropriate, more cost-effective alternative to lengthy litigation in these situations."
A more appropriate and cost-effective alternative is to abolish business patents. Since business patents were created as an offshoot of software patents you could kill two birds with one stone by abolishing software patents.
Steve Stites
Red Hat et. al are taking entirely the wrong approach here. Software is very clearly mathematics and therefore should NOT be considered patentable. Period. Full Stop. In addition, no other field of endeavor is covered by both patent and copyright law. Copyright law is demonstrably the far better avenue for resolving issues in the court.
Any retreat from this position leads to a long term strategic defeat for FLOSS.
Couple considerations that shouldn't be ignored.
First and foremost, when a government institutes an authority for issuance of patents, that authority needs to be fully competent and reasonably staffed. The existing system suffers from the difficulty of determining what is and is not patentable in an environment of continual knowledge expansion. To relieve this difficulty, it will be helpful to make the standard of patentability more readily discernible by the examiners - which is easy to say abstractly, but more difficult to accomplish.
Second, we oughtn't forget that what can be represented in hardware can be represented in software, and vice versa. It's possible to imagine technology just over the horizon that would make the two fields less distinguishable from each other than today. Any solution should probably address the character of the candidate invention more than the environment in which it operates, unless, of course, that is the core of the invention.
I'd be inclined to view MOST of what we create in software as "writings", suitable to receive copyright protection. Business processes, including those encoded, or partially encoded, in software, are not necessarily by nature inventions in the same way a process for making steel might be. The standard of patentability needs to be high enough to exclude "driving on the right side of the road" while protecting the proverbial windshield-wiper variable delay. Consider that a variable-delay wiper control would today likely be implemented in software. Would it, should it, be patentable if new today?
A final babble: suppose we had a new class of patents and/or copyrights with a duration of perhaps 2-3 years, intended to preserve only an inventor's EARLY competitive advantage. I'm not yet advocating this, but wonder whether there's some help there.

WEstminster's Anthropology program
Why Study Anthropology?
"Anthropology has formed my reality by answering many of my questions about the world," says Anthropology Professor Gretchen Siegler. Anthropologists study humans and differ from the other social sciences in a shared understanding that no one aspect of human behavior can be understood without examining all other aspects.
Why Choose Westminster's Program?
When you include Anthropology in your studies, you exhibit an interest in and a concern about human diversity. Cultural sensitivity is important in all fields of study, and a minor in Anthropology is looked upon highly when combined with any major. At Westminster, you will work closely with experienced faculty and in small classes where you'll have the opportunity to learn the very latest theories, research techniques, and, with faculty approval, possibly tailor your studies to your particular interests.
What Else?
Anthropology offers an academic minor, or students may wish to take courses which can be used as electives in a variety of majors. Students who minor in Anthropology must complete 20 semester hours of approved course work.

Don Reul of Galva, grandfather of the six-year-old Sterling boy who survived a sand dune sinkhole mishap, is slated to appear on NBC's Today Show tomorrow morning.
Reul said by telephone today he's slated to be at the Chicago hospital where his grandson is at 5:45 a.m. tomorrow, to appear before Today Show cameras. It's not clear if the interview will be shown live or later in the morning.
Reul, pastor of First Baptist Church of Galva, also appeared on ABC-TV's Good Morning America this morning to discuss the incident.
His grandson, Nathan Woessner, was pulled alive from a sinkhole after being buried under ground for over three hours at Indiana Dunes near Michigan City, Ind. on Friday. His story is being broadcast worldwide by TV and Internet outlets.
Meanwhile, Pastor Reul told the Galva News to be sure and thank the Galva community for their outpouring of support since the incident happened.
"Let everybody in Galva know how much we appreciate it," Reul said late this afternoon. "We feel blessed."

Tuesday, April 2, 2013
During my stay in Suriname, South America, I had the opportunity to accompany a fellow student to Matapica Beach. A cousin of a cousin of a cousin of a - you get my drift - was organizing a trip to this very isolated stretch of beach which is one of the nesting grounds for the largest living sea turtle, the Aitkanti (the leatherback turtle). It was an amazing sight to see these turtles and to see them lay their eggs. When I talked to my friend about this incredible viewing and mentioned that it would be fantastic to see the little turtles hatch and find their way to the sea, she gave me the following answer: "The chances that these specific nests will hatch are slim because our "trip organizer" will probably return later and dig up the eggs and sell them on the black market in Paramaribo [the capital city of Suriname]."
Even 20 years ago, when this story took place, the leatherback turtles were on the endangered species list, like all the other sea turtles. Although there are international laws in place to prevent poaching, places like Matapica beach are not easily reached and often on the bottom of the priority list for authorities to safeguard.
The beaches in the Charleston area, on the other hand, are somewhat easier to monitor, and the officials are helped in their efforts to protect the turtles and their nesting grounds by numerous volunteers. Linda Rumph, who works in our children's department, is one of those volunteers. She is a member of the Island Turtle Team on Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island.
On these islands, loggerhead females come ashore each summer to lay their eggs.
Linda is one of only a few volunteers trained and permitted by the Department of Natural Resources to supervise the conservation of these loggerhead nests.
Nesting season runs from mid-May to mid-August; during this time Linda and her fellow helpers walk the beaches early in the morning - around sunrise - looking for turtle tracks.
When a nest is found and the location is safe, they mark the spot and volunteers check on it regularly throughout the approximately 60-day incubation period.
But when a nest is laid below the high tide line, Linda and the team are allowed to relocate the eggs to higher ground.
This year the Turtle Team, under the leadership of Mary Pringle, will be initiating an educational program called "Loggerhead Lessons."
The program is intended to teach local children the importance of sea turtle conservation.
Two members of Linda's team are well-known.
Mary Alice Monroe, a New York Times bestselling author of adult fiction, and Barbara Bergwerf, a former Chicago Tribune photographer. Together, they published the children's non-fiction book, "Turtle Summer: A Journal for My Daughter."
Barbara Bergwerf also published "Carolina's Story: Sea Turtles Get Sick Too!," this time in collaboration with Donna Rathmell. More information about sea turtles and their circumstances in our part of the world can be found in "Sea Turtles of the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States" by Carol Ruckdeschel and "Sea Turtles: An Extraordinary Natural History of Some Uncommon Turtles" by Blair Witherington.
Five years ago, the same time her daughter Abby convinced her to join the turtle team, Linda applied for a position at the Charleston County Public Library.
She first worked at the Poe branch on Sullivan's Island, then she went to work in the Main Library on Calhoun Street. Since August 2012 Linda has worked with us in Mount Pleasant.
She is a great addition to our Children's Department and, personally, I love the way she uses her creative mind to transform the children's section on a regular basis into a different "world." Linda was born in East Douglas, Mass. When she was 2 years old her parents moved to the Isle of Palms. Linda has one sister and two brothers.
When she graduated high school, she was in the first graduating class of the then new, now old, Wando High School.
After high school Linda went to Flagler College in St. Augustine and graduated with a major in English Literature. She married her "boy next door," Mike Rumph, and is the proud mother of four daughters.
Reading material Linda suggests are the non-fiction "Modoc" by Ralph Helfer and "Grayson" by Lynne Cox. For children, Linda recommends anything written by Nancy Tillman, for instance, "Wherever You Are, My Love Will Find You." This book, according to Linda, should be mandatory reading for all moms. "It was published when my daughter, Capers, was living in Africa and I read it to her (through tears) via Skype. Once, I recommended it to one of our patrons who was kind enough to rush out and purchase two copies of the book, one for me to keep and one to inscribe and give to Capers.
It was one of the highlights of my library career."
By the way, did you know that the loggerhead turtle is South Carolina's State Reptile?

MIAMI, FLORIDA -- For years I have been communicating with the Operations Manager, Cesar **, about the condition of the gym (equipment breakage and free weight area disorganization). I have even spoken with several staff as well as attempted to reach corporate which is almost impossible.
The main issues with the gym/management is the free weight area is always a disaster. Sometimes there seems to be more free weights in the aerobics room than the free weight area. The weight plates are always all over the floor and the dumbbell rack is empty. Because of the disarray it takes me longer to work out and have even skinned my shins because of all the land mines in the pathways.
I have sent several emails to Cesar advising of the unsafe conditions and extremely unhappy customers I have interfaced with and all he can say is that corporate won't allow for additional overhead or support. I explained to him that the LA Fitness near the expressway (5 miles down the road) is always neat and clean and I am sure they are subjected to the same corporate limitations and demographics. Long story short there is no excuse and he needs to become more of an accountable manager.
Another issue that has been progressively getting worst is the cleanliness of the workout area and locker rooms. When you first enter the lobby it smells like a sewer. As you go in the locker room there is an musty mildew smell. I know it is a men's locker room so there will be other smells but this is 5am and already smells bad.
About 6-8 months ago there was a change in cleaning personnel and the new guy I have been witnessing for awhile now and yet to see him clean the bathrooms with any kind of disinfectant. All he does is get paper towels from the machine and wipe areas of the mirror and wipe down the sinks. As this has progressed there has been an increase in odor, roaches and bugs in the shower. Additionally there is frequent trash left in the lockers and sticky residue on the work out floor.
I did an experiment to see how long some powder will last on the floor in the locker room (tile floor) and it stayed there for 3 months. I don't think the floor was ever cleaned but it got worn away. Needless to say I wear flip flops and shoes all over.
I have told Cesar that I refuse to move since the expectation of their gym is to provide a safe, clean and organized gym. I am also taking the lead to be a voice of all the disappointed members of the morning dedicated work out people. This problem is going to be fixed when Cesar addresses the systemic breakdown for good, gets removed from his position or an accident occurs and LA Fitness will be sued and the gym will close or change management/ownership.
I suggest any potential customers avoid the gym for now until we can get is straighten up and safe. To all existing members settling for an unclean, unsafe and below expectation manager write reviews and post your issues. The more we get them recognized the more loss of business to the point corporate will have to investigate. In the meantime I will continue to address this as well as find ways into corporate to bring this to light. "The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expect a different result" - Albert Einstein.
HOUSTON, TEXAS -- The step class instructor at 9025 S. Highway 6, Houston Texas 77083 puts the music in her step class extremely loud and also screams at the mic. This gave me tinnitus based on my ENT. I called and the manager ** said he was busy and was extremely dismissive. He actually hang up on me. I was stunned at how awful a person he was. I have never seen anything like that. He was extremely unprofessional and hostile. I find that LA Fitness is not what it used to be. I called back several times to get a hold of someone and finally a guy picked up the phone and he said they were busy and he couldn't help me. He also hang up on me.
Finally I called a third time and after several attempts the call did go through. A lady answered the phone and she gave me the corporate number. I complained to corporate. The complaint was handled by some kid who did not seem to take my complaint seriously. I have serious damage to my hearing as a result of the class I attended. The ENT doctor said my hearing issue was due to loud sound and that is the only place I have been exposed to a loud sound.
I had complained to the instructor before about how loud the music was and how loud she was when she talked on the mic but she did not seem to care about my complaints. I may sue them. I think they are awful and would not recommend anyone from attending the gym.
JOHNS CREEK, GEORGIA -- If you like a workout place where:
Then this is the place for you!
LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS -- If you want somebody that steals your money, go to LA fitness. They help stealing your money. If you want to pay $150.00 money although you cancelled, and you don't owe any money go to LA fitness. If you don't have a friend and nobody calls you, cancel your membership and first day of next billing period after you cancel, don't worry. Every state every location calls you within 3 days. Doesn't matter you are crazy or not. Actually, it is much more than that. It is a big fraudulent company!
MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE -- First of all let me say my husband and I were big LA Fitness supporters when they opened their new Memphis locations. We are not complaining customers and I do not talk to management needlessly. That being said, I am stunned and disappointed at the company's flagrant disregard for the safety and care of LA Fitness customers.
On March 12, 2015, I went to the Polo Grounds LA Fitness location in Memphis, Tenn. at 9:40 in the morning for a workout class like I do every week. However, when I left the gym, an hour later, and unlocked my truck, I discovered that someone had broken into my vehicle and tore out my radio system ($200 system) as well as stolen a few less-valuable items. In addition to the stolen items, there is significant damage to the passenger door and the key lock a busted from where they forced their way into the vehicle. All of this now has to be repaired or replaced.
I went back inside the building and spoke to a manager who apologized for the incident and called the police for me. We have filed the police report, but it does not look promising as LA Fitness does not have security or security cameras, and there were no witnesses. The detective handling our case has stated that, even though this has happened many times at LA Fitness, the company refuses to put security cameras in their parking lot.
It shocked me that a company who places a business in the 4th most criminally active city in the nation doesn't care enough about its customers or employees safety to protect them with any type of security. Since then, my husband and I have tried to reach the company and express our concerns about this issue, but an email didn't do anything. In fact, they didn't even read it, just retorted that they are not responsible for items left in your car. We didn't leave anything in the car and it WAS locked. A radio is hardwired in, therefore it IS part of the car!
Next we tried contacting the managers at the facility directly. We were met with attitude and distain and told they don't think they need security. In a last ditch effort, we contacted the corporate office once again via phone call. My husband spoke to the customer relations management and explained the situation. Again, our concerns were met with disdain. He told us that it was not the company's problem and they don't care about our experience. The conversation actually went as far as him saying he can't stand dealing with "you people." My husband couldn't take the extreme disrespect and ended up hanging up on him.
It is a slap in the face to be a victim of a crime then to be treated like that by the company who allowed that crime to take place. I enjoyed and supported LA Fitness coming to Memphis. My husband and I were daily gym-goers and liked being customers of the company. However, since this crime was committed, we have not been back to LA Fitness and were seriously considering revoking our membership. However, this was not necessary because LA Fitness took the Liberty of canceling our memberships without our approval.
It has been made clear that this company cares nothing for the safety, security, or happiness of its customers. They have made it clear that the only thing management and corporate cares about is money and taking advantage of customers. This is not a matter of petty complaining over the business. It is a matter concerning a crime being committed on company property. They have been extremely rude, demeaning, and unprofessional and given us no resolution whatsoever. Please, save yourself the headache and DO NOT join LA Fitness. Search for other gym options who actually care about your well-being.
TAMPA, FLORIDA -- LA Fitness uses, at best, questionable sales techniques and a tell them what they want to hear sales pitch. I signed up for a training contract after being given a "sample" training session. The problem is the "sample" session I was given was 10x better than any of the sessions I received after signing the contract. They had a master trainer work me out to the point I almost blacked out (which I liked) but then right after sells me a contract telling me I can have him train me. I can have group sessions. I will get an individualized training program which includes a regiment for the week in addition to my booked training session. The trainers will work around my schedule.
I can cancel if I am unsatisfied after a few weeks, but come to find out none of that happens to be available after I sign the contract. I get a sub par trainer. I get shifted around to multiple sub par trainers. I had trainers tell me it's my fault when a session starts late when I was there early. I have trainers try to pawn me off on other trainers because I try to hold them to doing what the master trainer said I was going to get. I complained to both the location and the corporate office multiple times and I get the same run around stall tactics like: "try another trainer", "I'll call the location and make sure your session won't start late, etc."
All so they can keep you past the point where you can cancel (which cancellation time is not disclosed at the time of signing), but even if it was you are mentally and physically exhausted, which is the worst time for you to sign a contract, but the best time for them to sell you one!
MARIETTA, GEORGIA -- The gym membership is great. In my area there are several gyms to choose from with swimming pools at a fair rate. Their pool is dirty, but it is the best considering other options. Personal Training: I was advised not to do it from friends because the personal trainers are incompetent and it is one big sales approach. I ignored these opinions, and I truly thought LA Fitness was going to help me. I WAS WRONG.
I have called different gyms inquiring about different trainers, no one called me back or wanted to speak with me. I spoke with the Personal Director in my area to help me find a good trainer for me, she only tried to sell me more, or trainers that needed more customers. Once I told her I was looking at other gyms, she was real quick to tell me she had an errand to run.
The personal trainers are all trained to work you out hard so when you are done, you are sweating and wore out, which in my opinion is not (training/ educating). At least that is what a few personal trainers told me when I asked. One of the trainers pushed me so hard I pulled a muscle in my shoulder and had to stop training for weeks.
I hate myself for wasting money on a low quality product with no customer service, or no one who wants to help. I blame myself for not doing enough research which is why I am writing this review. To give this review a happier ending, there are a few Personal Trainers who are great, but it is really tough to find them and most likely they will leave your gym, move outside of LA fitness, or get promoted within months.
WHEATEN, MARYLAND -- As a member under the holiday franchise, then the Bally's and now the LA Fitness franchise, I must say it was disheartening to discover that the contract now offered by LA Fitness has an exculpatory clause to protect them from liability... Be aware that if you get injured for any reason, any cause, any failure on LA Fitness' behalf they will not be liable! You exercise at LA Fitness totally at your own risk!!!
I suffered a slip & fall in the women's locker room/shower area because the facility did not use no skid mats on the floor. The water soaked mats on the floor skidded right out from under me and I suffered a concussion, contusions, and other muscular injuries. Court ruled that the exculpatory clause was enforceable! That's right. I got nothing for my pain & suffering, lost wages, and medical. Be aware!!!
TUCSON, ARIZONA -- Apparently the facility has had multiple break-ins both in and out and still refuses to put video surveillance in the parking area. Four break-ins occurred including mine in the daylight in the front parking lot in one day and the receptionist told me they had posted signs. I went out to look and could not see the signs until I looked up high on the pole. The sign says, "Lock your car, take your keys and hide your belongings." I did this and worker said I should have hidden my belongings at home! Never once did she apologize or voice concern for my loss. She made me feel like I was the cause of the break in.
When I asked her about video surveillance, she informed me that the policy is not to have it. Why? Would this not discourage criminals doing this? My instructor saw me and was the only one from facility to voice her concern. The police were very helpful and followed up with a call, but nothing from LA Fitness people! I find this appalling! Their customer service and consideration for members is poor!
ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA -- For the two months, I was a member of LA Fitness [and] they overcharged me each time. As a young adult, I don't have the funds to be overcharged every single month. The second time I was promised a $20 waive off then was told by another employee they wouldn't be doing that and denied ever offering it. They made this promise in order to get my new credit card numbers so they could charge me $40.
When I demanded to quit and get my money back the manager Lisa was incredibly rude and refused to allow me to quit over the phone or to return my money. I think that if your staff cannot communicate and stick to their word then contract or not the customer should be reimbursed. I will never join this gym nor recommend it to anyone I know. I will be writing a letter to the higher authorities about this situation so they can rethink who they make a manager at this gym.

Whether you're up to your knees in the streams right next to campus or deep in the rainforests of Costa Rica, our diverse courses emphasize hands-on learning. You can study Neurobiology, Tropical Ecology, Animal Behavior, Genetics, Evolution and more. And you can get involved with faculty in their active research programs during both the academic year and the summer.
Experience matters at Saint Michael's. As a biology major, you'll spend plenty of time in the lab, but for starters you might also:
At Saint Michael's, you can study Pre-Health, Environmental Biology, Cellular and Molecular Biology, or Biology Education. You can also create your own selection of biology courses.
As a first-year student, you'll take General Biology and General Chemistry in both the fall and spring semester.
In your first semester of General Biology, you'll explore topics in ecology and evolution through the study of local biodiversity. You'll be designing and executing a semester-long research project focusing on the conservation of a local threatened ecosystem, the sandplain forest, as well.
As they move farther along in the major, students will then have the ability to widen the range of their fieldwork while focusing more closely on particular subjects and issues that interest them. Those interested in Tropical Ecology, for example, might travel to Costa Rica to study the biodiversity of rainforests. We offer courses and research opportunities in a range of biological fields, including molecular biology, genetics, neurobiology, animal behavior, physiology, development biology, and ecology.
You'll find that although biology is one of our most popular subjects, you'll get personal attention and career preparation and guidance from your professors from the very beginning. Our introductory biology courses for first-year majors have no more than 60 students in each lecture section, with 20 or fewer in each lab section.
Most upper-level biology lab classes have a maximum of 20 students per section, and seminar style classes will be smaller.
Students completing the Biology major will accomplish six learning goals that fall within three categories:
1. frame testable hypotheses and predictions
A) Science as a way of knowing
2. design and execute investigations and perform analyses that address biological questions or problems
3. communicate results of scientific investigations effectively, both orally and in writing
B) Critical analysis and communication
4. locate and understand appropriate literature in the biological sciences
5. evaluate scientific arguments critically
6 demonstrate knowledge of two unifying themes: evolution and emergent properties, and demonstrate knowledge of biological principles at all levels of organization– particularly cellular/molecular biology, organismal biology, and population biology/ecology
C) Working Knowledge
If you score a 4 or 5 on the Biology AP test, you can apply those credits toward your graduation requirements, but students majoring in biology are required to take both Introduction to Ecology and Evolution (BI 151) and Introductory Cell Biology and Genetics (BI 153). The project-driven nature of these courses is very important in preparing students for the upper-level biology classes.

Internships are a great way to help build valuable experience for potential jobs and further education, as well as a way to put your learning into action. Biology majors have several possible internships available, including positions related to human health (Vermont Health Department, the Vermont State Medical Examiner's Office); natural resources (the local office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service); environmental education (Shelburne Farms, ECHO); and medical research (University of Vermont College of Medicine).
Our biology professors have a broad range of research interests, including aquatic biology, animal behavior, ecology, genetics, molecular biology, evolution, developmental biology and biology education. Our faculty are active researchers who have received major competitive grant awards from the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health, among others.
As importantly, they genuinely love to teach undergraduate students. Biology students will find many opportunities to perform research with faculty during the academic year or in the summers. Student researchers have been co-authors on professional publications and have presented their work at conferences locally, nationally and internationally, including at:
In recent years, 35% of Saint Michael's biology majors have had a study abroad experience - it's highly recommended.
However, it does require planning, so speak to your academic advisor during your first year so that you can get a plan in place that will allow you to study abroad.
Some study abroad programs offer courses that can be applied to the biology major, and may allow you to take courses not offered at Saint Michael's.
Saint Michael's College is also an affiliate member of the School for Field Studies, which provides semester-long and summer programs in natural resource ecology and management at its field stations in Costa Rica, Mexico, the Turks & Caicos Islands (in the eastern Caribbean), Australia and Kenya.
After graduation, our majors go on to careers like:
Being a biology major at Saint Michael's is big step toward a rewarding science career. Our grads work in the fields of Genetics and Molecular Biology, Biological or chemical research labs, environmental consulting and conservation, and pharmaceutical labs.
Also, many graduates become science teachers.
If graduate school is in your plans, plan to be accepted - over 80% of our graduates who wish to go on to post-graduate studies are accepted.
Medical, dental, and veterinary schools accepting Saint Michael's biology graduates include:
Our graduates have also gone on into Masters and Ph.D. programs at strong research universities, including:

Tyler Rio tossed a complete game and struck out 10 batters to lead Goose Creek Post 166 to a 2-1 win over the Lowcountry Heat on Thursday.
He scattered four hits and limited the winless Heat to a single run in the fourth inning in helping Goose Creek improve to 5-2 overall and 5-1 in League 1 play. Goose Creek scored single runs in the third and fourth innings, providing just enough run support for Rio.
Caleb Workman tossed seven innings for the Heat, limiting Post 166 to three hits while striking out six.
Post 166 travels to Beaufort on Thursday and concludes the regular season at home on June 30 against the Lowcountry Heat.
If Post 166 wins Thursday, it will wrap up the League 1 title for the fourth year in a row.
The playoffs begin July 7 and the state tournament is set for July 26-30 in Sumter.

The Stetson men's tennis team defeated Niagara by a score of 6-1 on Monday afternoon to improve to 3-3 on the season.
Stetson opened things up by sweeping the doubles play. Freshman Graham Ball and junior Nathan Debut won 8-2 at number three, sophomore Laurynas Antropikas and junior Chester Espie won 8-7 (7-5) at number two, and senior Hans Adrian Riseng and sophomore Cahit Kapukiran won 8-5 at number one to earn the Hatters the point.
"Our intensity in doubles was good today," Stetson associate head coach Christophe Noblet said. "With the wind picking up and Niagara offering great resistance, I am happy with the way we maintained focus to get the doubles point."
The Hatters continued to play in singles action, winning five of six matches. Debut won 6-2, 6-1 at the number two position and Kapukiran won 6-3, 6-4 at number three to extend Stetson's advantage to 3-0.
Riseng then clinched the victory for Stetson, winning 6-3, 6-3 at number six to make it 4-0 with three matches to play.
Ball won 7-5, 6-3 at number five and Espie won 6-1, 6-7 (5-7), 1-0 (10-1) to put the match at 6-0 in favor of the Hatters. Antropikas was defeated by David Raymond 6-7, 6-0, 1-0 (10-5) to make the final score 6-1.
"Our attention is now on Wednesday," Noblet said. "South Alabama is always a strong team to compete against and we are looking forward to the challenge."

2009 Tax Software Shootout: TurboTax vs. TaxCut
|Email Print
In the world of tax preparation software, the big players are Intuit's TurboTax and H&R Block's TaxCut. You have smaller players like TaxACT, but the two biggest in terms of branding and market share have to be TurboTax and TaxCut. They battle each other each year but when you really get down to the basics, both products offer the same thing – tax preparation that won't cost you hundreds of dollars.
Don't buy the commercials that say you have to go to a tax preparer because you can't ask the box. A friend of mine once walked into a branch of H&R Block and had her fairly straightforward taxes prepared for $350. She didn't have any special circumstances whatsoever! Her problem was that she didn't know how owning a home would affect her taxes. She heard needed to itemize, had no idea what it meant, and that cost her $350. Fortunately for everyone else, you don't have to know much to prepare your taxes with software because the software will do it for you. I don't fault H&R Block, they're a business and they need to keep the lights on, but she could've gone with software and saved herself some serious coin.
So, which company should you go with? Intuit's TurboTax or H&R Block's TaxCut?
TurboTax vs. TaxCut
Free "Simple Returns/1040EZ" Package:
According to their respective homepage, only TurboTax offers a free option for "Simple Returns/1040EZ," TaxCut will charge you $19.95. The "Simple Returns/1040EZ" has nothing to do with income level, it refers more specifically to how complicated your taxes are and what additional schedules you'll need to include. If you use the standard deduction and don't need much help, then you can get your taxes done for free at TurboTax. If you need to itemize, you're stepping up to TurboTax Deluxe, which costs $29.95. You can use TurboTax's Package Chooser tool to find out which one you'll have to use.
If your AGI is less than $56,000 a year, you qualify for the IRS's Free File program.
Winner: TurboTax – Free is better than $19.95 (though their free doesn't include step-by-step guidance).
Other Packages:
TaxCut has three basic packages – Basic, Premium, and Home & Business (then each has a version where you get state filing included). TurboTax has similar versions, a Deluxe, Premier, Home & Business. Here's how they stack up price-wise head to head:
|TurboTax Price
|TaxCut Price
|Home & Business:
It appears that if you have itemized deductions and investments, TaxCut's Premium Federal E-file package is going to be the best for you because it's $5 less than the equivalent TurboTax Premier product. If you plan on filing state through the software, TaxCut has a Federal & State package for only $15 more. If you use TurboTax Premier, adding a state package is an additional $34.95!
Winner: TaxCut – If you're not going to be able to take advantage of TurboTax's Free edition, you can save a few dollars by using TaxCut to prepare your taxes. If you plan on doing your state taxes and efile with the software, the difference in price begins to shrink. You can get state preparation through TaxCut for an additional $15 but you pay $19.95 to efile. With TurboTax, you pay an additional $34.95 but efiling is free. The original difference of $30 really comes out to be
Federal e-Filing:
With any of their respective tax preparation packages, you get at least one Federal e-file free; with TaxCut you get 5 Federal e-files free.
Before you get too excited, the IRS doesn't charge you for E-filing through their Electronic Filing System either so the preparers aren't paying the fee for you, they're simply not charging you a fee.
Winner: Toss-Up – TaxCut's 5 free Federal e-files is nice, only if you need them. I'd only need one.
State Tax Preparation:
To complete your state forms using TurboTax, it's $25.95 per state if you used their Free Federal Edition; it's $34.95 per state if you used any other one (Basic, Deluxe, Premier, Home & Business). Up to three State efilings are free though.
TaxCut offers Federal as well as Federal + State packages. On the Federal only packages, preparing a state return will be an additional $29.95 each. With any package, state e-filing will cost an additional $19.95. It's important to find out whether or not your state charges for e-filing. For example, Maryland's state iFile system is absolutely free. There's no reason why I should pay $19.95
Winner: TurboTax – You might pay more up front for tax preparation but you get free Efiling.
Let's take the most common scenario, John, who will use the Premier/Deluxe versions of the software because they have a fairly straightforward tax situation. John will prepare the taxes online and John will e-file both federal and state returns. This is how much John would expect to pay:
- TurboTax: $29.95 Deluxe + $34.95 Deluxe State + $0 Efile = $64.90
- TaxCut: $49.95 Premium Federal/State + $19.95 State Efile = $69.90
For what is likely the most common scenario outside of Free Edition, TurboTax is cheaper than TaxCut by $5. If you don't plan to Efile your state return, then TaxCut wins by by $15.
Other Factors:
Both companies have been around for many many years, tweaking their products, and learning from their mistakes. I think one advantage they have over the other competitors is that they are huge brands with the backing of enormous companies willing to spend money to produce the product possible. You cannot go wrong picking one of these two products because they've gone through a lot of research, development, testing, etc.
That being said, people like a winner and PC Magazine Editor's Choice was TurboTax 2009 because it had a better step-by-step system than TaxCut. I think the two products are similar but I also didn't do an in-depth review like PC Magazine and their trained staff did.
Winner: TurboTax
Like I said before, you can't go wrong with either product but TurboTax is $5 cheaper and they were selected as PC Magazine's Editor's Choice – that makes them inch ahead of TaxCut to take the trophy in this year's tax software shootout.
What's your vote? TurboTax or TaxCut? Or do you rock the dead tree 1040?{ 82 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Meth, stolen guns lead to arrest
January 17, 2013
A 21-year-old Elkins man remains in jail on a $100,000 cash-only bond Wednesday after police allegedly found three stolen guns, bags of methamphetamine and a collection of drug paraphernalia inside......
Might have to build a new prison, which would be a good use of taxpayers money.

, updated March 7, 2013 at 6:16 AM
For an institution that seems able to do little that is productive, especially on high-profile issues, Congress is making solid progress on, of all things, a gun control law. Credit Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand, D-N.Y., for much of that.
Congress has been locked in a bitter debate about gun control since the horrifying shootings in Newtown, Conn., with many Democrats pushing for restrictions on assault-style weapons and many Republicans claiming – incorrectly – that no law can be consistent with Second Amendment guarantees on gun rights.
But while those arguments continue unabated, there has been bipartisan movement in both the House and Senate on a bill that would crack down on gun trafficking. Gillibrand noted this week that in New York, nine out of 10 guns used in crimes are criminally trafficked, illegal weapons.
The bill, which Gillibrand believes will draw the 60 votes that are now routinely needed to accomplish anything in the Senate, will take aim at straw purchasers who buy weapons for people who are prohibited by law from doing so.
Gillibrand has been working across the aisle to take into account the concerns of Republicans, said Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa. As it stands now, the bill would make it a federal crime to ship or otherwise transfer two or more guns to anyone known to be barred by law from owning them. The penalty is stiff: up to 15 years in prison, and up to 25 years for leaders of gun trafficking rings. A bipartisan gun trafficking bill is also pending in the House.
New York's senior senator, Charles E. Schumer, is negotiating another bill that would help keep guns out of the hands of those who shouldn't have them. His proposal would expand background checks to all gun purchases, including those made at gun shows. That would close a loophole that allows gun sales without any government review in many states.
These are important developments, and evidence that even in this time of divisive politics it is possible for Democrats and Republicans to find common ground on important matters.
Indeed, it is fair to say that Washington might have produced a better health reform bill if Republicans had been willing to take part in the process rather than simply trying to block it. Both parties should take a lesson from the effort to clamp down on gun trafficking and take action to deal with other pressing issues, including immigration, the deficit and more.
It is important for Congress to continue efforts to restrict the sale of assault weapons and to limit the number of rounds an ammunition magazine can hold. The protests of gun rights activists notwithstanding, such restrictions can be crafted without running afoul of the Second Amendment. The argument is about politics and public safety, not constitutionality.

Some high school students walk by the house on the way to school. They look so young to me from where I sit looking through aging eyes. Did I look that young when I was their age? Do I now look like an old man to these kids? Wasn't it just yesterday when I was heading out to St. Mary's?
Where was I when my youth left? Never thought it would happen, this getting old. Others did that, not me; not my classmates and friends. We were to be the exception, the "fifties" teenagers that would always be young…teens forever. How swiftly the years have flown; how long ago are those carefree days when I was young. I am now that grey haired old man the youth see. I am the older generation.
If you are young and are reading this, keep in mind that it is about me today, but it will be your story before you know it. So, I say to you, "Live your life deliberately each day, make good choices for tomorrow and someday, when you are the grey haired older generation, look for my footprints, for I too was once like you.
