Re: Excessive cleaningswiss-house Jul 6, 2011 2:15 PM (in response to rioruby)
We simply chaulk it up the the law of averages. We have had some people leave the house nearly like it was when they arrived, while other times (like last month) we've had the place become a 10 hour disaster.
Since we clean the house ourselves, we're very particular about making the house perfect for each visitor. So even when the house is left "clean" by a guest party, we still clean every bathtub, mop all the floors, dust all the furniture and drapes. Our cleaning time is about 2 hours (2 people) if the house is "clean" anyway, so unless the group makes an effort to be destructive, we're usually done in about 3 hours on even a messy house. If the house was hardly used (overnight stay while skiing all day long), we might be in and out in just an hour.
We factor in having to do touch up painting (scuffs on the wall, wet towel marks behind a towel rack, etc) about once every 6 rentals, and a super-thorough cleaning 2 times a year. If we're coming up on that point and have a particularly messy guest stay, we'll use the opportunity to do the super clean at the same time.
Our rental rate is NOT per person, but just recently we did decide to add a $10 per person cleaning surcharge per person for groups over 6 people ($100 covers cleaning for 6, $140 for a party of 10). It just helps cover the extra time it takes to make extra beds, wash extra linens, and for the extra general wear and tear on the house that a larger group makes.
One other thing, we have had potential renters ask if we can waive the cleaning fee if they promise to clean the house themselves before leaving. The answer is ALWAYS no. It's not a matter of worrying if they will follow through or not - it's a matter of maintaining a consistent standard for how the house looks for each renter as they arrive. Regardless of how good a job they did, we would have to spend nearly as much time going through making sure it met our standards anyway.

We decided to change from calling it a cleaning fee to a guest service fee. We have a complete breakdown on our website showing what the guest service fee covers with a brief description and time estimate. Our Guest Service Fee includes: Preparation, Inventory, Laundry and Cleaning. Cleaning is very subjective so renters never stop to think about how long it takes to wash and clean so providing a time estimate really helped to put the fee into prospective.
We also place a small reminder sign in the kitchen with instructions on how the kitchen is to be left and what the excess hourly fee is so the guest has proper disclosure.
Arrival & Departure Preparation
Preparing the cabin includes spa cleaning and chemicals, blowing off the patio, decks and gazebo areas, verification of kitchen and linen inventory, checking the sound system, internet connection and testing all televisions to make sure they are all working properly. This fee also includes the caretakers time for arrival and departure inspections which includes a detailed written inspection report. Inspection reports are necessary to insure that the current guest is not held responsible for damage or missing items caused by a prior tenant
Inventory Verification Inventory Inventory counts include all towels, linens, bedding, accessories, artwork and a full accounting of the kitchen inventory
Laundry Services Laundry Laundry is one of the most time consuming elements of the guest service fee as we have different color towels and linens that require sorting and washing in separate loads, on a gentle cycle due to embroidery on towels. The fee covers the washing and drying of towels and bed linens according to the time allotment below. Sorry we are not able to accommodate requests from guests to launder themselves due to concerns with overloading the appliances and mixing of colors.
1 bedroom (2 guests) = 2 loads ~ 2 hours
2 bedrooms (4 guests) = 4 loads ~ 2.6 hours
3 bedrooms (6 guests) = 6 loads ~ 3.2 hours
4 bedrooms (8 guests) = 8 loads ~ 3.8 hours
5 bedrooms + sofa beds (10 guests) = 10 loads ~ 4.4 hours
Cleaning Services This The cleaning fee covers re-making of all beds, vacuuming, washing floors, bathroom toilets, tubs and showers, wiping out the refrigerator, microwave and oven, dusting furniture, light fixture, artwork and blinds, hot tub cleaning and checking chemicals. Also includes garbage can allotment based on number of nights and cleaning of fireplaces for guests that have purchased firewood.
1 bedroom = 3.5 hours
2 bedroom(s) = 3.9 hours
3 bedroom(s) = 4.3 hours
4 bedroom(s) = 4.7 hours
5 bedroom(s) – 5.1 hours
Caretaker Support Caretaker We have a very detailed guest service instruction book. This has been designed to answer questions and provide detailed instructions for operating everything in the home. If guests cannot find the answer to your question the fee includes one call to our caretaker to ask general questions. The fee also covers any house calls required by our caretaker for non-functioning appliances or equipment. This service is included in the guest service fee
Excess Fees
The following items are not included in the Guest Service fee and will be considered to be excess fees.
- Dirty dishes and or silverware left in the sink or dishwasher or put away dirty in the cabinets.
- Ovens and Range top left excessively dirty.
- Gas BBQ Grill not brushed down and/or left excessively dirty.
- Hot Tub left with dirt and debris (normally caused by hot tub cover left open) which requires the hot tub to be emptied, refilled and new fresh chemicals added. Guest will be charged the hourly rate plus the cost of chemicals.
- Trash removal plus dump fees for sorting of trash, usage over allotted number of garbage cans also includes Christmas tree removal. Excess fees also apply to dump fee charges.
- Fireplaces(s) cleaning fee (applies to guests that have brought their own firewood).
- Window cleaning from excess dog smears or children's finger prints.
- Smoking on premises is not allowed, fees will be applied for any time required to pick up cigarette butts around the exterior of the property. If any cigarette smell is present inside the home the guest will be charged for costs associated with removal of the cigarette smoke which will include carpet cleaning, dry cleaning of bedding, shams, comforters, pillows, bed skirts, bed panels and the costs associated with rental of professional air fans and freshener products.
- Caretaker calls and or visits for anything reported by guest and after visit determination indicates that call was not warranted.
- Guest belongs lost and found will be charged a handling fee for the return (fee does not include packaging or shipping costs)

This is fantastic, vacationlady!
Great job!
I need to put something like this together for our place and post it on our web site.
It usually takes us about 4 hours (2 people working) to get the place ready, including all of the cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, inventory, flowers, welcome gifts, personal notes, making the bed and setting up the towels ... we do towel and toilet paper origami and all of that ... we only have a studio, but it takes time. We don't charge a separate cleaning fee, as the cleaning fee is included in the cost of the rental.
But I like the way you describe all the things that need to get done in between ... I think if people see that a full written inventory is done between each guest ... it might make them much more careful about how they treat the place.
Great ideas, vacationlady, thank you!

Re: Excessive cleaningbeachbunny Jul 6, 2011 2:29 PM (in response to swiss-house)
I think you answer is excellent. I am a first-time landlord and had a guest insist that I waive the cleaning fee. One reason I objected is that I have to drive 125 miles each way to get to the rental (and back again to where I'm staying for the summer) and have to pay for gas. But your point is quite valid about no matter how clean they SAY they're going to leave the place, you would clean it again in order to maintain the same standards of cleanliness for all guests. Even if they are super-clean and fastidious guests and do wipe down the kitchen counters and microwave, I do NOT want them changing linens on the beds, nor towels in the bathrooms, nor doing any laundry before they leave. In fact, I instruct guests in the rental rules NOT to strip the beds or wash any of their linens or towels before departing. I take care of that and make sure it's done right. Plus, people can tend to overload my washer, which causes all kinds of problems, and I do not want guests to spend their vacation time cleaning or doing laundry! I also liked your point about charging per person for cleaning rather than a flat fee.

I am planning on expanding into property managment I curretnly own a housekeeping and carpet cleaning company in Panama City Beach, FL. I am not currently taking on new clients for housekeeping. Excessive cleaning? What this means to anyone is very subjective. We do not charge for taking out trash or washing a small amount of dishes picking up clothing tags and a small amount of trash around the unit. The only time we ever charge an extra cleaning fee is when the customer had a blatant disregard for the property. How much should one charge for extra cleaning. We say $35 per hour. That said If they did not wash the dishes did not take the trash out and got sand all over the place how long does that take. The reality is not long, 15, 20 minutes tops to get it to where they should have left it. Somethings we have charged for in the past. I have been doing this since 2005 and probably have not charged extra but maybe 20 times. We have recently charged an extra $50 to wash all bed covering in a 4 bedroom condo. They had urinated on every blanket sheets and mattress pad. I thought that $50 was not enough. We have a laundry with a 40# machine so we do not wash on site. We charged only $10 per load.
Excessive cleaningnightskyveiw Aug 20, 2011 2:39 AM (in response to rioruby)
All in all I think it should be added into your orignal rate. If someone really leaves the place a mess do not rent to
them again. Charging little fees 2%-5% after people have left just creates a bad feeling on both sides.
Of course if the contract clearly states something that should be adhered to. Although I remember some years
ago going on vacation and we had a great time. Me being the clean freak made sure everything was in tip top shape
even better than when we got there. When I walked out, one of our party ran back in for a second and really it was like a second. Sometime later we received a letter informing us they were keeping our $50 deposit and we were not welcome again. Turns out the guy who ran in let loose on the toilet and did'nt flush. knowing this fellow it was
probably bad, but does having to flush the toilet a few times warrant taking someones $50?
I really went out of my way to make sure everything was really clean. As a much older owner now I would chaulk
this one up.
Excessive cleaninglrbaldwin Sep 13, 2011 12:37 PM (in response to rioruby)
Our cleaning fee is included in our rent. This is standard on the Outer Banks. We have our house rules in the contract which includes washing and putting away dishes and sweeping or vacuuming the floors and carpets. We recently had a French Canadian family stay for 2 weeks. They will not get their deposit back.
1. In a conversation with the son-in-law, he told me there were 9 people staying there. The signed contract stated that there would be 8 people, and that is our limit according to the local law.
2. The floors, both top and bottom, looked like trash cans had exploded on them. It looked as if they had never swept or vacuumed for the whole 2 weeks they were there.
3. All the cushions on the living room furniture were stained so badly from food and people sitting on them in wet bathing suits that they will have to be professionally cleaned. Fortunately we were able to simply turn them over for the remainder of the season.
4. Both living and dining room rugs had to be taken out to be cleaned because of extensive staining.
5. They did not roll the 3 large (totally full) trash cans out to the street as required in the lease agreement.
6. I guess this doesn't count because we don't ask renters to clean toilets, but all three were lined with "number 2". I would NEVER leave ANYBODY'S toilets in this condition.
Our deposit is only $200, and that does not cover the costs from this filthy family. This is the first time we've refused to return a deposit. If they give us a bad review, I'll make my response and leave it at that. I'm not willing to pay for a review. They did not honor the contract they made with us.
Excessive cleaningthaxterlane Sep 13, 2011 3:55 PM (in response to rioruby)
Our cleaning fee is included in our weekly rent as is the cost of the laundry service at departure for household linens. One rate cover everything except the security deposit which is $500. I am thinking of ratising it to $1,000 since we have added new furnishings and electronics (2 large hdtv's) that would not be able to be replaced for $500.
My housekeeper/cleaning staff judge the state of the house when guests depart and determine the cleaning that needs to take place. The house is given a substantive cleaning each week - including such things as the interior of appliances, ceiling fans, outdoor furniture, and all glass doors and windows. There are not any extra charges to my guests for cleaining the interior of the refrigerator or removing fingerprints left by children. That's just part of the package, in my opinion and I make their stay an all inclusive one. In the many years we have rented we have charged the security deposit twice for additional cleaning. Our guests are well behaved and neat (I could claim excellent screening skills, but I hesitate . . . ) and my cleaning crew takes their work and the cleanliness of our home very seriously. They know I follow up with each guest/party to ask if our home met their expectations. They also have my approval to do whatever extra needs to be done to keep our home spotless.
We have a two page welcome/house rules document that is sent to each guest/party before arrival at our home. It includes very simple rules for maintenance of our home and the comfort of our guests. And it's worked.
Excessive cleaningtina.chabotcarlson Sep 13, 2011 5:29 PM (in response to rioruby)
Being a vacation home owner and also the owner of a houseekping business that services quite q few of rental homes. I would like to offer my opinion on this topic. I do this both with my rental home and with my business. I charge my clients a set fee which is enough to cover the turnover cleaning and also the cost of laundry services which also include ironing of the linens. This fee is usually worked into the rental fee and is not included in the security deposit. I upon entering a home do a complete walk through and photograph any damage or excessive messes. I also write my clients at the end of each turnover day a very detailed cleaning report and attach photos when needed. When there is an excessive cleaning situation or damages photos are taken and in some cases owners are notified immediately, If there is additional charges for cleaning it is then withheld from the security deposit. When photos are provided to back up withholding of any additional funds the guest usually cannot dispute the additional charges especially if the photos are time and date stamped within minutes of their departure. In my own home the security deposit is equal to half of the rental fee and is refunded within 24 hours of departure if all is well. Of course all of this does need to be included in the information packet prior to arrival or at time the rental agreement is solidified. Guests are asked to leave the home as they found it and are told if it is not there may be additional charges. Home owners should not be responsible for the disrespect of a renter.
Re: Excessive cleaningmarilyn May 7, 2012 5:11 PM (in response to tina.chabotcarlson)
I think everyone has a different perception of excessive cleaning.
I wonder, do bagfuls of popcorn emptied under sofa cushions count?
Do blood stains on bed linens count?
Do stains on entry door throw rugs count?
what about all of the jelly beans under the bed?
Or the sample the pet dog left behind in the corner of the dining room?
In each of our three confirming letters, we advise our guests of our "wishes". We ask our guests to leave the house as received, except that they please leave the linens and unmade beds, leave all soiled towels in the bathrooms. Love when the guests miss this point in each of our three letters, strip the beds and leave all the towels and bed linens in the doorway of the laundry room. Cleaning pople now need to sort through everything in order to launder.
We have been lucky. Most of our guests are really nice, respect our homes and leave it in wonderful condition. It's that horrible handful that we remember so well.
Re: Excessive cleaningsfvacationhut May 18, 2012 10:38 PM (in response to marilyn)
Very true, Marilyn !
We had a guest who left the place in an incredible mess. It took the maid 5.5 hours to clean the place when it normally only takes 2.5 hours. In addition, I was there putting away all the trash and cleaning out refrigerator (full of moldy food, including food left in our dishes), etc. So our usual $80 - $100 cleaning bill became $216, but that doesn't count the unpaid time that I was also there cleaning. We deducted $80 from the security deposit for the extra cleaning (being generous, didn't deduct for the entire added amount). But .... our guest wrote us a very defensive e-mail, explaining how she thought we were overcharging for the cleaning, etc. It was so lame !!! She knew the kind of state she left the apartment in. She even left a note to the maid, which said "Thanks for cleaning my mess. "
UGH! Anyhow, I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. Honestly, the extra $120 for cleaning bills wouldn't have broken our bank account. So we could have cheerfully refunded the full amount of the $500 security deposit, and just went along our merry way, without deducting anything. That would have been the best option in term of generating "positive feelings" for everyone.
But ... dang ... the whole reason we collect a security deposit is to prevent these kinds of abuses. So ... I don't know. This was the first time (and so far, the only time, thank GOODNESS!), we've had to deal with something like this.
Oh, also the guest accused us of being persnicketly / counting pennies / etc, when we said we'd charge her for the extra cleaning amounts. We are not stingy or miserly at all for our guests, in fact we provide lots of welcome gifts and tons of freebies (free transit passes, free bike to ride, free package pick-up, etc) that you don't normally find at other places. We often hear from our guests that we are spoiling them, and I guess you could say, that's true, yes we pride ourselves on how we roll out the red carpet for them. So ... I thought it was WAY LAME that, after everything we had done for this guest, she accused us of being stingy. And also I felt it was a terrible display of disrespect for her to leave the apartment in that condition and expect us to go through it all. She left 12 bags of garbage INSIDE the apartment. ETC. We paid $67 for a pest exterminator to come in after we saw the mess, and we didn't charge her for that either. ETC.
Anyway, I just want to say, we are the opposite of stingy !
But ... at some point, this guest may decide to write a bad review for us, even though she had a wonderful stay at our apartment. So ... as I say, I have very mixed feelings. I don't know if we did the right thing by deducting money from her security deposit. Even though we were quite generous and the deduction was obviously warranted. Thoughts, anyone?
Re: Excessive cleaningdogwoodridge May 19, 2012 9:11 AM (in response to sfvacationhut)
Hi sf!
I, for one,think you did the right thing and I think she got off easy with you only witholding $80! 12 bags of garbage for one person?! Good night! What was she doing?!
I am one who charges a cleaning fee on top of the rental rate - $75 which seems to be standard in my area, but I'm beginning to wonder if I should increase my rental rate slightly and include the cleaning. Most of my guests have been super about leaving the place clean. It turns out that the worst guests as far as that is concerned was the daughter of some friends of ours. They are elderly and wanted to have their daughter and her family visit them so they wanted to book our place for a weekend (they were paying for the daughter to visit). I charged them the rental and the cleaning, but no security deposit because they are friends. Well, of course you know the story, they left the house a mess that took me two days to get back to ready condition for the next guests when they finally did leave. They decided on their own to have a late check-out of 5:00 pm when check-out is at 11:00.
I know the reason they treated the home so badly is that they didn't pay for it, so they had nothing to lose. I couldn't withold anything from the security deposit because I didn't have one, but in all honesty, I wouldn't have anyway. I didn't have the heart to tell these people that their daughter was a pig who took advantage of their generosity. Needless to say though, if they ever want to have them visit again, they won't be staying here!
Re: Excessive cleaningiopbeachhouse May 19, 2012 10:39 AM (in response to rioruby)
Thus far, we have not run into excess cleaning, but if we did, I would deduct whatever our cleaning service charges from the security deposit with a copy of the cleaning invoice and an explanation of the service. Our service does charge an extra fee when we have renters who bring their dogs. The renters pay that fee up front as part of their rent and it is non-negotiable.
Re: Excessive cleaningnightskyveiw Jul 7, 2012 2:36 AM (in response to rioruby)
I can't tell you how many times I have found breakfast in the microwave. Occaisonally there are some dishes or a pan in the sink. I can charge for this, but I don't. How much would I charge $10?
Considering these people pay good money for a week, I try to keep an open mind. Its great to get those renters that you look around and say "Wow this place looks great" but we can't expect a perfectly cleaned house everytime.
Re: Excessive cleaningvacationrentalauthority Jul 2, 2013 8:37 PM (in response to nightskyveiw)
Sounds like fair policy to me. We have so many renters who leave the house so clean it appears spotless. Once in a while the home is left messy but not often.
I believe in a one price policy and do not charge for cleaning. I expect a certian level of cleaning to be required and nobody has exceeded that yet.
Re: Excessive cleaningcrescentbeach4u Jul 7, 2012 7:18 AM (in response to rioruby)
I just had to have extra cleaning performed last week having gum in the carpet. The cleaner spent extra time but did not charge me. I pay my cleaner a monthly bonus (which is not expected) if they do a great job and go beyond the call of duty.

Try to determine your cat's breed (or breeds), as certain health conditions have genetic links. For example, Persians and Abyssinians tend to be at risk for kidney problems, which are manageable if diagnosed early.read more
When Dr. Katy Nelson, a veterinarian, received a recall notice involving the cat anesthetic drug ketamine, she promptly scoured her practice's supplies and pulled the affected lot numbers. Nelson and other pet health specialists are on the alert because The Food and Drug Administration has issued recalls for certain lots of the commonly used drugs ketamine and butorphanol -- used to control surgery-related pain -- after the deaths of at least five cats were linked to the drugs.
Your veterinarian should be aware of the recall, says Nelson, who practices in Alexandria, Va. "If you're going to a reputable, accredited veterinarian, you really shouldn't have to worry about any of these lots being on the shelf," she says.
Ketamine is often part of a "cocktail" veterinarians administer when placing cats under anesthesia. The recall, however, underscores the importance of the careful use of anesthesia in cats. "Anesthesia for any animal should be taken seriously, especially for older animals or animals that have special medical conditions," says Dr. Tracy R. Dewhirst, a Knoxville, Tenn., veterinarian who writes a pet advice column for the Knoxville News Sentinel.
Evaluating the Risk of Cat Anesthesia
Your veterinarian should use a risk protocol before placing your cat under anesthesia. Factors such as the type of procedure and your cat's age and health should be considered. For example, anesthesia for a young cat being neutered would rate as less risky than an elderly cat in renal failure going to a neurologist for a brain tumor section.
Bad reactions to anesthesia can range from not waking quickly to arrhythmias of the heart and full cardiac arrest, says Dewhirst. "The worst case, cardiac arrest, is pretty rare," notes Dewhirst. "I've had that happen once in 10 years of practicing."
The use of anesthesia shouldn't prevent you from providing needed procedures for your kitty, such as spaying, neutering or dental cleaning, says Nelson. Although Nelson's practice averages 10 to 20 anesthetic procedures a day, only two to three anesthetic reactions occurred over the entire last year.
A Cat Anesthesia Checklist
Asking the right questions can help ensure your cat's safety when anesthesia is used. Dewhirst and Nelson say the following checklist will ensure your veterinarian is practicing safe cat anesthesia:
These guidelines should alleviate any concerns about cat anesthesia. "It's very safe as long as your veterinarian is doing the proper monitoring," says Nelson.
Kim Boatman is a journalist and frequent contributor to The Daily Cat, based in Northern California whose work has appeared in The Miami Herald, the Detroit Free Press and the San Jose Mercury News. She is a lifelong lover of animals and shares her home with three cats.
Parmjeet says: It's SO much worse for you than it is for them. And they take their cue from you about how scary it is. If you're calm and confident, then so are they. Really. So be cool.Just wait until he turns 16 and has a dvirer's license and you get that inevitable late night phone call and hear his shaky vulnerable five-year-old voice saying there's been an accident. There is no preparation in the world adequate to deal with that fear.Wishing you and your son all the best tomorrow. You all will be fine. Live to fear another day.
Bobbilisimham says: Prayers & best wishes to your liltte guy, you & your family.I remember when my oldest had to go under general anesthesia my husband and I were absolute wrecks just not in front of him. Believe me when I say, we are SO much more frightened than they are. BCB is SO right about them taking their cues from us. Stay the course, have faith & know that there are so many of us sending good wishes, prayers & support your way.I hear nothing but AMAZING things about BCH. And the folks who work in pediatric surgery units really know children, and understand how to put them at ease with what's happening. Hang in there, and please, after you've been there for your son & with your family through it all, keep us posted.Thinking of you all.

Melinda says: My beloved late kitty cat, Josie, died during a post-dental procedure. Her throat had swelled up severly and she suffocated to death!! I can no longer trust dental procedures because of this. She was tested before the procedure and my vet assured me that Josie was in perfect health to go under. I will never get over the fear of my cat ever going under anesthesia

Exponents are shorthand for repeated multiplication of the same thing by itself. For instance, the shorthand for multiplying three copies of the number 5 is shown on the right-hand side of the "equals" sign in (5)(5)(5) = 5 3 . The "exponent", being 3 in this example, stands for however many times the value is being multiplied. The thing that's being multiplied, being 5 in this example, is called the "base".
This process of using exponents is called "raising to a power", where the exponent is the "power". The expression " 5 3 " is pronounced as "five, raised to the third power" or "five to the third".
Content Continues Below
Exponents: Basic Rules: Product Rule
There are two specially-named powers: "to the second power" is generally pronounced as "squared", and "to the third power" is generally pronounced as "cubed". So " 5 3 " is commonly pronounced as "five cubed".
When we deal with numbers, we usually just simplify; we'd rather deal with " 27 " than with " 3 3 ". But with variables, we need the exponents, because we'd rather deal with " x 6 " than with " xxxxxx ".
Exponents have a few rules that we can use for simplifying expressions.
To simplify this, I can think in terms of what those exponents mean. "To the third" means "multiplying three copies" and "to the fourth" means "multiplying four copies". Using this fact, I can "expand" the two factors, and then work backwards to the simplified form. First, I expand:
( x 3 )( x 4 ) = ( xxx )( xxxx )
Now I can remove the parentheses and put all the factors together:
( xxx )( xxxx ) = xxxxxxx
This is seven copies of the variable. "Multiplying seven copies" means "to the seventh power", so this can be restated as:
xxxxxxx = x 7
Putting it all together, the steps are as follows:

You can request off-route trips within the designated DART service area by calling the DART reservation office. Trip requests must be made at least two hours before you wish to be picked up. You can make reservations for up to 30 days at a time, and up to 30 days in advance. Reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
Reservation requests for route deviations can be made by calling toll-free 1-866-261-DART (3278) (voice) or 1-800-246-1646 (TTY) during the following hours:
You can also make your reservation online directly through Hopelink's web site .
Only a limited number of off-route deviations can be made on any given trip. DART vehicles can deviate from their fixed routes to serve other locations within the service area, but they cannot necessarily provide door-to-door service due to safety and other operational considerations, such as narrow streets, cul-de-sacs, etc. You may be requested to board or exit DART service at a location a block or more from your home or destination.
Estimated pick-up and drop-off times will be provided at the time you call. Please be waiting at the designated boarding location at the scheduled reservation time.

I purchased a 32" Toshiba REGZA LCD (32HL67U) in August 2008. Yesterday, the display portion of the unit stopped working, although the sound still comes. So basically, the TV is worthless. I contacted Toshiba customer service and they are completely unwilling to do anything for me, even though I spent $700 for a TV that lasted less than 20 months. Here's a copy of my correspondence with them in chronological order. As you'll see, Toshiba doesn't value its customers, so I suggest you not become one.

Model Number:32HL67U
I have a 32" REGZA that I purchased in August 2008. Yesterday, the display portion stopped working, but the sound still came through. I have verified that it is not the cable box because when I switch the volume, the volume up/down graphic doesn't even appear. When I turn it on/off, the display lights up for a split second (if I'm turning the volume up/down the bar appears), but then it goes blank and all I get is the sound. Is there a fix for this? Is this still under warranty? Thanks for your help.

Dear Michael,
Thanks for writing!
I apologize for the inconvenience.
Your TV had a one year warranty from the date of purchase. You may have purchased an extended warranty from a 3rd party at the time of purchase.
Try resetting your unit by unplugging it from the electrical outlet for at least three minutes. If you continue having difficulty, I recommend having an authorized service center look at your unit.
To find a service center in your area, please reply to this email with your model number and zip code or call our CustomerSolutions Department at 1-800-631-3811.
They are available Mon-Fri, 7AM to 7PM, Sat & Sun 9AM to 5PM Central Standard Time.

Thanks for your quick response.
I tried resetting the unit and still no luck.
I must say, I am terribly disappointed in my TV that only lasted 20 months. I paid around $700 for a product that only lasted 20 months...that equals $35/month. This leaves a bad taste in my mouth about Toshiba products, a brand I had previously respected very much.
I did have a two-year warranty from where I purchased the TV (Electrograph Systems), but unfortunately that company went bankrupt last year and will not honor their promise.
Are you sure there is nothing Toshiba is willing to do for me? I would hope this is a rare occasion for your product to last this short amount of time. I would appreciate it if you could inquire to a supervisor to see if Toshiba customer service would like to keep me as a loyal customer. Or, if you could put me in touch with a manager directly, my contact information follows.
I look forward to your response.

I apologize for the issue you are experiencing with the TV. It is not what we expect of our equipment. Our actual failure rate is less than 1%.
Unfortunately, we would be unable to assist with any repair costs as the unit is outside our manufacturer warranty.

Toshiba Customer Service
Thanks for your quick response. I have found Toshiba customer service very timely in their response, but extremely unwilling to offer any help. I'm glad your failure rate is less than 1%, but it surprises me that for that 1% you are unable to offer ANY HELP WHATSOEVER. If I ran my business that way, I wouldn't be in business. I guess this means that you bring in enough customers to offset the longtime customers who buy your products over and over again. I promise I will not purchase any more Toshiba products until Toshiba provides me with more than an address of a repair center. I also promise to repost this correspondence and speak about this negative experience on my blog, Facebook page, Twitter page and other online venues until Toshiba steps up to the plate and values me as a customer who simply asked for a little assistance with an expensive TV that lasted such a short time instead of hiding behind a piece of paper.
At the end of December last year (2009) we purchased 2 flatscreen TVs, both Toshiba Regzas but two different models. Within a couple of months the 42 in. one developed 'garbled' audio problems and the store picked it up and took it for warranty repair to the regional authorized Toshiba repair shop. We were advised that that particular model had a known problem and needed to be retrofitted but the part was on back-order for some undetermined length of time.
After waiting, doing phone follow-ups, etc., months having passed with still no repair and return of the TV, I finally (and with great difficulty) managed to get Toshiba to give us a replacement TV (different model chosen by them). This matter was concluded 2 to 3 months ago and now guess what?! Last evening the other Toshiba TV, a 40 in Regza, developed a problem. Suddenly red lines running vertically appeared across the screen - first starting more on the right and then in fairly short order spreading across to cover the left hand side also.
On looking on the internet I am finding other customers who have experienced this problem, sometimes coupled with the same audio issue we had on the other Toshiba TV, and sometimes singularly. Having had an overall horrible experience with Toshiba regards the first TV with the audio problems, I do not relish the thought of probably having to 'do war' with them now over this 2nd TV that may be 'out of warranty' by 2 or 3 days since it is only just over the 1 year mark since purchase.
I did receive a phone call from a law firm regarding the first TV issue advising that they were preparing a class action against Toshiba and wanting to know if I wished to join it. Toshiba had finally replaced that first TV with another model just before this call came in to me so I explained that the problem had ultimately been resolved. I was advised to hang on to the law firm's phone number in case I experienced additional difficulties. Looks like it might be a good thing I did just that in light of the fact we now have problems with the other Toshiba television.
However, I will first phone Toshiba today and see what their attitude is this time around. If the set is just out of warranty and if the repair is somewhat inexpensive then I will probably not balk at it. However if the repair involves a costly part I will not stand for being sold two basically defective TVs.
LEBANON, TENNESSEE -- I 'm highly dissatisfied & DISGUSTED with DEFECTIVELY DESIGNED TOSHIBA DLP TV & Toshiba America Corporation 's extremely poor & pathetic customer service of corporate staff handling complaint. I have bought Toshiba DLP 72 inches TV model #72HM195. Paying several thousands of dollars on 9/13/06. Within 4 months within less than 150 hrs of usage Lamp failed, Contacted Toshiba.
Toshiba replaced lamp stating usual life of lamp is 6000-8000 hrs but because of shipping & vibrations it must have failed in less than 150 hrs. Now new good lamp blew up again in 13 months with limited usage of about 500-600 hrs instead of lasting 6000-8000 hrs AS WARRANTED.
Contacted Toshiba customer svc at 800-457-7777 spoke to several customer service reps & supervisor **, ** stated Lamp has warranty for 8000 hrs or 6 months & not replacing blown lamp since lamp lasted more than 6 months. This lamp lasted less than 10% of warranted life HRS & one needs to use 45 hrs daily to get 8000 hrs in 6 months. Average working family use TV for only 1-2 hrs daily. ** could not comprehend or did not want to understand issue; He further stone walled any further escalation & refused rudely to provide any information about corporate & president's office.
After extensive research found & contacted **, Customer solution manager @ ** at Toshiba America Corporation, 1420 B Toshiba Dr, Lebanon TN 37087. ** stated Toshiba did realize original lamp installed in TV was defective, so Toshiba warranted defective lamps for 2 yrs. & hence Toshiba replaced that Lamp. Now New replaced lamp has same 6 months / 8000 hrs warranty. This again blew up lasting only 500-600 hrs. So technically Toshiba warranted initial pre-installed defective lamp for 2 yrs but equally bad replacement lamp is warranted for 6 months only & flatly refused replacement.
In vain, one more attempt made to contact at Toshiba Corporate HQ, Wayne NJ. Spoke to **, complaint Manager @ **. ** is no help either. Beware ** & ** will not return your calls despite leaving several messages so one has to be persistent.
Toshiba knows very well that this is their defective product with defective design but does not want to admit. On line research shows numerous complaints of premature lamp failure & needing replacement every 6 months and on average usage of only few hundred hrs, consistent with our experience. Other brands TV lamp will be lasting several thousands of hours as promised. Toshiba not only failed to provide reliable product but is also deceiving consumers with extremely poor customer service.
Now onwards I decided & expressed to Toshiba corporate officers as well about not to buy any Toshiba product after this traumatic experience of failing to stand behind defective product & providing pathetic customer service for DLP TV I spent several thousands of dollars.
PEORIA,, ILLINOIS -- I purchased this television in May, 2005. Within a year, the volume down button stopped working. Toshiba told me it was a bad sensor, and they replaced the remote under the warranty. 14 months after I received the new remote, the same button broke. I asked Toshiba to replace the remote, because the same button broke again. They refused, because the part was no longer under warranty. I wrote to the Illinois Attorney General's office and I filed a complaint. Very soon after that, Toshiba called and said they would replace the remote. & months after I received the second remote, the same button broke again.
All of the other buttons worked fine on all of the remotes, except on this third remote, the volume up button was starting to fail. I called Toshiba again, and again they refused to replace the remote. I told them that there is no way I was causing this problem, because all of the other buttons were working, and because I don't believe I could break the same button three times. I sent another complaint to the Illinois Attorney General, and Toshiba never responded. I am stuck with a remote where I cannot adjust the volume on the TV, and I cannot manipulate the menus. Why should I buy a fourth remote that is likely to have the same problem.
Also, two months after I attached a Hi-Def DVR to the HDMI input on the TV, I could no longer get a picture using that input. Comcast tried several DVR boxes and several HDMI cables, but none of them worked. I added this issue to the second complaint with the Illinois Attorney General, but Toshiba never responded.
I would recommend that anyone who does not want to have this experience think twice about buying anything from Toshiba. They obviously don't care about their customers. I want Toshiba to continue to replace the remote as long as this particular button keeps failing. This is obviously a design flaw and not a end-user issue. I want them to pay to repair the HDMI input. The technology used in this TV was not up to par.
Developed black vertical lines in screen. Toshiba and many other brands of LCD are failing and Toshiba is fully aware of the problem but playing dumb. Tell them you're out of warranty and they blow you right off. They won't make good on the sets.
Just google black vertical lines in LCD TV's and you can't imagine why there's no class action lawsuits out there. Stay away of Toshiba for you next purchase, TV's a lemon and their customer no service is useless. One good thing though, the customer service wasn't a guy in India with bad English named "**" at least in this case an American screws ya.
I have been reading all the reviews on Toshiba. My husband and I had a repair man out today. We are having the same problem that all of you are having. Our TV has a horrible noise in the back and this has been going on for a year and a half. We had to wait on parts that were back ordered. We put new bulbs in and a new fan and the noise continued. We got no help from toshiba. They said that since the TV was out of warranty they could not do anything. Anyway the TV service man told us to scrap the TV it was not worth putting any more money into it. So I say do not buy Toshiba. Its a sorry company.
WAYNE, NJ, NEW JERSEY -- A little over a year and slightly out of warranty, the screen on the TV developed a vertical rainbow which covers about half of the screen making the TV useless. I tried to appeal to Toshiba but they told me they would not warranty the unit. I found several other users on blogs complaining of the same issues. I understand if a product is out of warranty and something minor breaks, but for the TV to become completely useless is unacceptable. Toshiba obviously doesn't care about their reputation. I will not purchase another Toshiba product.
Our other TV's sound still works so it's not the cable, it's not on mute, and it doesn't produce sound for our DVD's either. IT was working one minute, then the next it wasn't. Does anyone have advice on how to fix it? What can be done?
Toshiba TV picture just went black. No warranty under 2 years old. Purchased at Best Buy - they will not stand behind the product since we didn't purchase their warranty. No satisfaction from customer support at Toshiba. There is a knonw problem with this model TV however they claim it is not the same issue. They will not verify previous problems. TV purchased for $850. Toshiba refuses to stand behind their product. Will never buy another product made by Toshiba or recommend to any clients or friends.
My husband and I purchased a 46 Inch Toshiba and have had nothing but problems with it. We can't get parts or any resolution from the toshiba company. We mailed in a form for the class action settlement suit against Toshiba to get our money back for blown bulbs. No answer from that either as of yet, we hope soon though. Our television has been out of service for over a year. My advice is Don't Buy A Toshiba TV.

Mail::Exchange::Tutorial - Introduction to the Mail::Exchange classes and Interface
Microsoft Exchange, as a server application, uses a proprietary binary protocol when communicating with Microsoft Outlook as a client program. This protocol is tightly connected to the internal format used to store message objects, which in turn is tightly connected to the binary format (.msg) that Outlook uses to store messages in files.
Right now, the Mail::Exchange classes are little more than a facility to read and write .msg files, but it is expected they grow into a more complete way to interact with an Exchange Server in the future.
Data structures
A Message object, in Exchange/Outlook, is something like a Property Container, that contains a list of property/value pairs. Many often-used properties are pre-defined by Microsoft, having constant, unique, property IDs, along with property types like String, Integer, Time etc. A (more or less) complete list of these properties is defined in [MS-OXPROPS], and they are made available by the Mail::Exchange::PidTagIDs module.
In addition to those properties, Microsoft defines named properties as well. These may be string named properties, which are, for example, used for non-standard Internet Headers, or numerical named properties, which abbreviate often-used strings with a 2 byte number, and define a data type, just like the standard properties do. These numeric named Properties are listed in Mail::Exchange::PidLidIDs.
There are two data object types may occur more than once in a message object - Attachments and Recipients. A message can have only one sender, but several recipients, with each of them having properties like email address, address type ('To', 'Cc', 'Bcc'), and real names. Thus, Attachments and Recipients have their own Object type, of which zero or more instances can be attached to a message. Mail::Exchange::Attachment and Mail::Exchange::Recipient are the classes to handles these data objects.
Reading Message Files
When creating a new Message object, the new() method can be given a filename parameter. This will read in the complete message object, from which properties can be extracted afterwards:
my $msg=Mail::Exchange::Message->new("my.msg");
print "Subject: ", $msg->get(PidTagSubject), "\n";
Writing Message Files
Message Files can be created by modifying existing ones, or by creating them from scratch. Also, there is a method to import a MIME-formatted email message into a Message object.
Modifying existing Message files
To modify an existing message file, read it in as above, set the properties you want changed, and write it out to the same or a different file name:
my $msg=Mail::Exchange::Message->new("original.msg");
$msg->set(PidTagImportance, 2);
$msg->set('received-spf', 'none', 6, PtypString,
$msg->setSubject('new subject');
The primary method to set Properties is the
set method. Its first parameter is either a standard PidTag property, a numeric named PidLid property, or a string named property. In the case of PidTag or PidLid properties, their type is already known to the message object, but for string named properties, the property data type and property use guid must be given. Property data types are defined in Mail::Exchange::PropertyTypes.pm, while GUIDs can be taken from [MS-OXPROPS] section 1.3.2. The above example GUID is defined to contain Internet Headers.
For some often uses Properties, there are abbreviation functions, like setSubject. These abbreviation functions may set several properties at once, so it makes sense to use them where possible.
Creating message files from scratch
The Mail::Exchange::Message->new method, when called without a file parameter, creates an empty message object, but sets a few of the most important message properties in it. However, it does NOT set the message type, which can be one of Calendar entry, ToDo task entry, Mail, or various others. So, to create an email message, it is better to use Mail::Exchange::Message::Email->new to create an email message object. (At the time of this writing, Email ist the only existing subclass, more are expected to be implemented in the future).
After creating an empty message, set some properties in it and save it, like in
my $message=Mail::Exchange::Message::Email->new();
$message->setDisplayTo("Doe, John <firstname.lastname@example.com>");
$message->setSubject("trying out message files");
$message->setBody("hello world");
my $recipient=Mail::Exchange::Recipient->new();
$recipient->setDisplayName("Doe, John");
If you want to prepare a message to be sent by Outlook, set the
mfUnsent message flag before saving it:
$message->set(PidTagMessageFlags, mfUnsent);
This way, you'll get your standard "send" button from Outlook, so you can prepare a message from perl, review it in Outlook, and send it just like you'd written it yourself. If you don't set this flag, the message will be displayed by outlook like one in your inbox - you can reply to it, forward it, or save attachments as files, but can't send it again.
Adding recipients
For each recipient you want your message to have, you need to create a Mail::Exchange::Recipient object and add it to the message:
my $recipient=Mail::Exchange::Recipient->new();
$recipient->setDisplayName('Doe, John');
my $recipient=Mail::Exchange::Recipient->new();
$recipient->setDisplayName('Dae, Mary');
my $recipient=Mail::Exchange::Recipient->new();
$message->setDisplayTo("Doe, John; Dae, Mary");
Adding a recipient will _not_ make that recipient show in the To: and CC: boxes in Outlook, you have to use setDisplayTo, setDisplayCC (and setDisplayBcc) to set these entries.
Adding attachments
Just like with recipients, you can add attachments to a Message object:
my $attachment=Mail::Exchange::Attachment->new("file.dat");
If you pass an existing file name to the constructor, all properties that can be derived from the file (name, content, extension, creation and modification time, ...) will be set automatically. Or, you can use a string for the contents of a file, but you'll have to set other properties yourself:
my $attachment=Mail::Exchange::Attachment->new();
$attachment->set(PidTagCreationTime, mstime_to_unixtime(time());
$attachment->set(PidTagLastModificationTime, mstime_to_unixtime(time());
Reading MIME Mail files
To read in a MIME mail file, use Email::MIME to parse it first. Then, you can use the Mail:Exchange::Message::Email->fromMIME constructor to turn it into a Message object:
open(MAIL, "<$message.mime");
do {
local $/;
close MAIL;
Guntram Blohm <gbl at bso2001 dot com>
A good amount of documentation by Microsoft can be downloaded from: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc425499(v=exchg.80).aspx
Probably many. This implementation is quite new, so there's lots of stuff not finished yet. However, the basic functions work. Still, please don't use this library in a context where bugs might do any harm. As always, there is no warranty at all.

Are overcrowded data centers becoming too hot to handle? Sometimes — especially in businesses with traditional under-floor air distribution systems and small server rooms.
Dennis P. Sczomak, vice president at Troy, Mich.-based engineering firm Peter Basso Associates, suggests the addition of a high-density cooling system to supplement traditional systems in overcrowded and overheated equipment rooms. High-density cooling systems use piped refrigerant to cool local hot spots. Sczomak explains, "It's a cooling unit that typically sits directly adjacent to the data cabinets, that takes warm air and cools it down locally, but it uses a refrigerant that cannot leak onto the equipment and damage it."
Sczomak offers the following advice to ensure adequate and effective cooling for data centers:
Think ahead
Most data centers will continue to generate more heat and demand additional cooling over time. Be sure to assess the existing load and make a projection of the future load to determine if the capacity of the infrastructure will be sufficient.
Out with the old
When equipment is replaced, be sure to remove all of the old equipment and cables. This can improve the flow of air and the effectiveness of the cooling system.
Unit placement
The placement of the cooling unit can determine how efficiently the space is cooled. Ideally, a cooling unit should take air in from the hot aisles — the aisles where the backs of the equipment face each other — and blow it into cool aisles, where the front sides of the equipment face each other. "That way, the insides of their data cabinets can remain cooler while not having to reduce the overall temperature of the space," Sczomak says.

City begins steps to dissolve parking authority
In a continuation of their Monday evening meeting, members of the St. Marys City Council began taking steps on Thursday evening to dissolve the city's parking authority. All members of council, with the exception of Steve Skok and Rick Gabler, were present at Thursday evening's continuation of Monday's meeting, and all voted unanimously in favor of the resolutions regarding the parking authority. Eight resolutions were passed regarding the authority and how the city plans to move forward. Resolution 2011-12 states that "the Parking Authority of the City of St. Marys shall immediately take all necessary action to pay off all of its outstanding indebtedness, with interest due thereon, pay off its outstanding mortgage with National City Bank of Pennsylvania in the principal amount of $181,159.47 and settle all other claims which may be outstanding against it, all to be accomplished no later than Sept. 15."Resolution 2011-13 states that "the Parking Authority of [the City] shall prepare and execute an inventory of all assets of the authority and turn over control of any and all bank accounts and funds in its possession or control to [the City] no later than Sept. 15." Additionally, the authority must "then promptly convey all of its documents and records and all of its remaining assets and property to [the City] by appropriate documents in form acceptable to the City," also no later than Sept. 15. Furthermore, Resolution 2011-14 states that the authority "is prohibited from taking any action or expending any funds relating to any ongoing litigation," and Resolution 2011-15 adds that it must "cooperate with [the City] to the fullest extent possible, so that the transition in the ownership, control and operation of the assets of the authority can be expeditiously accomplished without any adverse impact to any creditors or to the citizens of St. Marys." Moving forward, based on Resolution 2011-16, the authority "is prohibited from engaging in any conduct or expending any money, directly or indirectly, for any purpose other than accomplishing the directives and objectives of [the City] as set forth in Resolutions 2011-12 through 2011-19," and, according to Resolution 2011-17, is "expressly prohibited from taking any action or expending any funds, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of challenging the right of [the City] to take the actions set forth in Resolutions 2011-12 through 2011-19." Resolution 2011-18 states that the City "shall not assume any debt as a result as a result of any of the provisions of Resolutions 2011-12 through 2011-19," and Resolution 2011-19 adds that "all funds and assets required by the foregoing resolutions to be turned over by [the parking authority] shall be held and utilized by [the City] in connection with the operation, maintenance and improvements of [the City's] parking facilities."According to Tony Alfieri, who attended both Monday and Thursday's meetings as a special counsel to the city, the authority only had a 50-year existence under state statute. City Manager Dave Greene indicated that the 50-year term would have expired in 2012 and remarked that council is just expediting the process. Following the meeting, Mayor Sally Geyer gave some insight into the reasoning behind council's decision. "The parking authority is just no longer needed in the city," Geyer said. However, she was quick to note that council's actions on Thursday evening were only the start of a process and that the parking authority is still in existence. "We didn't do away with the parking authority. We just passed some resolutions where they have to turn everything over to the city," Geyer said. The activities previously completed by the parking authority will now be undertaken by the city. A special committee, consisting of council members Bob Roberts and Steve Skok, was formed on Monday evening to examine parking-related issues throughout the city. Greene indicated that the committee's first meeting will occur sometime next week.

In reviewing the practice patterns of psychiatrists today, it is clear that many provide mostly medication checks or medication management for their patients. The conventional wisdom for this model of practice is that it is based on current methods of payment for clinical service, which places a premium on brief interventions by psychiatrists. Medications must be prescribed by a physician, while a non-MD mental health worker can provide psychotherapy and be paid by an insurance company at a lower unit cost than that paid to a psychiatrist to perform the same form of treatment.
Although it is true that today's economics encourage the practice of medication management by psychiatrists, the current structure of clinical experiences in residency training programs may also serve to implicitly encourage and support this model of practice.
The practice of psychiatry is the merger of scientific disciplines that inform us in understanding behavior and caring for our patients. The science of psychiatry is taught effectively in most, if not all, psychiatric residencies by a graded curriculum that addresses the biology, psychology, and social factors of human behavior. Resident performance on the psychiatric resident training examinations (PRITE) taken during each year of residency and the written examination of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology for certification confirm that current graduates are well versed in the varied aspects of the science of psychiatry.
The art of psychiatric practice is learned by residents during various supervised clinical rotations. Each rotation has a number of stated learning objectives and related competencies that a resident must master. But once the resident masters the required competencies, is he or she in fact able to perform these required competencies? The ability to perform in a clinical rotation may not mean that the resident has the competence to practice unsupervised. In assessing performance during or after a rotation, we must determine whether the resident will be able to practice in the field.
While one learns science in an academic framework, the art of psychiatry is learned experientially, in graded supervised settings. The skill set grows with increased experience. In psychiatry more than any other medical specialty, the art of being a psychiatrist is most critical. The psychiatrist's core knowledge, skills of interviewing, and his or her empathic capacity serve as the diagnostic imaging and laboratory tests of other medical specialties.
The only activity that the psychiatric resident is able to master . . . is . . . prescribing medication . . .
The psychiatrist performs a diagnostic assessment by talking to the patient and to individuals in the patient's life. After completing the diagnostic interview, the psychiatrist may obtain information from other professionals and from laboratory results. A unique form of information for psychiatrists regarding their patients, which is frequently not acknowledged in both the diagnostic and therapeutic process, is the psychiatrist's empathic sense of the patient. Using all the collected data, the psychiatrist makes a DSM diagnosis and answers any special concerns regarding the patient. At this point, a treatment plan is developed. Assessing patients and developing and instituting a treatment plan is the essence of the psychiatric residency.

A Topeka man has pleaded guilty to 40 counts of rape, robbery and other charges stemming from a string of holdups in the city last year.
Arthur Lee Crain III, 27, will face at least 21 years in prison at his sentencing in May, on the same day he was to have gone on trial. He entered the pleas Monday in Shawnee County District Court.
Crain was released from prison in January 2012 after serving time for armed robbery. He was arrested in late August, about six weeks after the robberies began.
The victims included individuals and stores, with female employees in some cases being sexually assaulted. The charges to which Crain pleaded guilty included two rapes, three sexual batteries and 15 aggravated burglaries.
