Firstly, thanks very much for this wonderful theme!
It was easy to modify and it looks very professional! :)
I'm having a bit of trouble after trying to move wordpress to the real server.
Everything was fine except this error and my flash/pictures in pages are not showing up:
Warning: Division by zero in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/themes/wp-creativix/tpl_page_nosidebar.php on line 32
I have tried to re-upload tpl_page_nosidebar.php but no luck.
I tried to re-upload the whole wp-content folder but no luck either.
The wierd thing is that I did not change anything apart from updating wp-config.php. The site is working fine on the local LAMP but it's just not working on real server because of this error.
Can anyone help out?

AES E-Library
Spectrography by Human Hearing Modelling
Traditional spectrography effectively makes use of a bank of fixed bandwidth band-pass filters. The bandwidth can be adjusted to optimize the time and frequency resolution of the spectrogram. Acoustic analysis by the human ear makes use of a bank of band-pass filters whose bandwidth changes as a function of center frequency. The paper describes a real-time transputer-based implementation of a human hearing modeling spectrograph and spectrograms from a variety of acoustic data.

Kenya Things to Do: 398 reviews and 576 photos
When we visited the Masai Village, we could also meet the teacher of the local outdoor school with his pupils.
The kids of all ages of the primary school were sitting in a row at small benches on the dusty ground with only a little bit shade of a few small trees. The Maasai teacher explained us about the school and how he managed to give the lessons in these very basic circumstances.

Is it possible to import entries from blogger into a wordpress.com blog?
Is it possible to import entries from blogger into a wordpress.com blog?
Misread. I don't know anything about wordpress.com.
Ask them!
Um, I thought that's what I was doing? Where am I supposed to ask?
This is WordPress.ORG, an unrelated site to the best of my knowledge. ;)
Thanks for pointing out the obvious difference. If you look at the site, it sure looks to be associated. It's running WordPress software. Matt and some other wordpress people have blogs there. This is pretty confusing.
From what I've seen on other posts, there's a Contact Us link somewhere. I don't see it on the main page, so it might be in the admin area somewhere.
wordpress.com will eventually have the one click blogger importer being developed for WP 1.6.
Thanks Ryan. Any idea how soon this will be? Just for clarification, is this the right place to ask questions about wordpress.com? The link at the bottom of the admin panel points here.
You can use the feedback tab in the admin panel of your wp.com blog. Also, you can try the WPMU forums. Since wp.com runs WPMU those forums are probably more appropriate.
I'll talk to Matt about making wp.com resources clearer. It's still being born, so bear with...
Sounds good, thanks a lot for your responses.

Help me whittle down my sibling list for Felix?
I'm one of those crazy forward planners, but even now I think I've gone overboard - I have 10 names that I LOVE for siblings for my Felix David Bernard, and I'm driving myself mad with the thought that I'll never be able to use them all
Frederic (known as Fred)
Elenore (known as Elsie)
Lucille (known as Lucy)
Esmeralda (known as Melle, or Esme or Essie)
Which should I keep on my list and which do you think don't work?

I love Felix and Hector, such a handsome sib set! I also like Felix and Jeremy, and Felix and Hugo from your lists, although Hector is definitely my favourite. Felix and Frederic seems a little hard to say for me personally, and Felix and Theodore just doesn't mesh that well in my brain.
For the girls I like Felix and Elenore (Elsie), and Felix and Clara. I don't think Esmerelda works because it is so long, and Felix is quite short. Although you would get around that with the nicknames, it's not my favourite combination. Felix and Lucille, and Felix and Aurelia just don't sound right to me, but that's my preference. Felix and Clara would be my favourite from the girls.
I hope this is helpful.Name loving BritBerry

Felix David Bernard and...
Hector - this works, I like the nn Hec(k), it does feel a little serious next to the playful Felix
Jeremy - not a huge fan of this name and it feels very dated imo
Frederic (known as Fred) - I would drop this because of repeating first initials
Hugo - LOVE Hugo and I love it with Felix! Both of them are in my top ten as well.
Theodore - this could work, if you keep Hugo you'll lose the nn Theo, I like Teddy as a nn too
Aurelia - love this, it could be difficult for some people to pronounce
Elenore (known as Elsie) - I like both names and they would work
Clara - this is lovely, simple and elegant
Lucille (known as Lucy) - totally works with Felix
Esmeralda (known as Melle, or Esme or Essie) - this is OK, I think you have better optionsBen & Lainy 10.8.12 . TTC our rainbow

My favorites with Felix for boys are 1. Hugo; 2. Hector; 3. Theodore with the nn Theo.
Fred is just too bland next to Felix, imo. Plus I like different initials. Jeremy is ok, if you love it. The nn Remy could be cute with Felix. Ive never thought of Jeremy nn Remy before....I like it!
For girls, I keep changing my mind. I love Aurelia. At first I thought Clara was too plain/simple next to Felix, but suddenly I'm loving the way Felix and Clara sounds. Those are my top two.Amara Beatrice | Esme Cordelia | Gwyneth Hazel | Madeleine Vesper | Margot Elspeth | Olive Kerensa | Phoebe Matilda | Sylvie Marigold | Willa Rosemary | Zara Emmeline | Archer Nathaniel | Callum Jude | Emmett Frost | Griffin Wilder | Julian Emrys | Leo Sebastian | Milo Vincent | Lucian Mateo | Rhys Donovan | Thorin Jasper

I unfortunately deleted all my pages in the WooCommerce section of my Wootique themed Word Press Website and have tried to manually replicate the pages, it is not really working so well… is there a way to get the pages back to the default pages that comes with the WooCommerce plugin.. I have tried everything I can think of, deactivating and deleting both WooDojo, and WooCommerce and even re-installing the theme. I have tried to use the "install pages" tab under WooCommerce > System Status > Tools but it appears to have done nothing. I don't even care at this stage if I lose all the data... I'd rather start from scrach and do it right.
This is my url http://www.xsnrg.com.au Any help would be appreciated, I've now been trawling through google searches and forums for over 3 hours… :(

The unique properties of mesoporous silica materials (MPs) have attracted substantial interest for use as enzyme-immobilization matrices. These features include high surface area, chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability, highly uniform pore distribution and tunable pore size, high adsorption capacity, and an ordered porous network for free diffusion of substrates and reaction products. Research demonstrated that enzymes encapsulated or entrapped in MPs retain their biocatalytic activity and are more stable than enzymes in solution. This review discusses recent advances in the study and use of mesoporous silica for enzyme immobilization and application in biosensor technology. Different types of MPs, their morphological and structural characteristics, and strategies used for their functionalization with enzymes are discussed. Finally, prospective and potential benefits of these materials for bioanalytical applications and biosensor technology are also presented.

Step 4: Test Transformer
You'll find most doorbell transformers near the main electrical panel. Set the multimeter to voltage setting, and place its probes on the screws where the small-gauge doorbell wires are attached. If the multimeter reads 16 volts or so, the transformer is fine; go to Step 5. If it's producing less than 16 volts, call an electrician to replace the transformer; this involves working with 120-volt wires and following the electrical code.

I have a large single chandelier stamp, but I really needed something small, as well. These fit the bill absolutely to a "T"...the added corners and adhesive jewels gave me more ideas of how to use these great little stamps.
These little stamps are small but carry lots of elegance and can easily sice up an LO. All the new Prima clear stamps are really pretty.
Smaller than I thought, but SO cute! The dots are really cute jewels and the corners will be fun to use on many projects. Love 'em!
Love these stamps! Small enough to use as an embellishment. Love the designs and you can't beat the price!

The TCU Horned Frogs have announced their 2010 non-conference football schedule. The Horned Frogs will open the season against the Oregon State Beavers at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Saturday, September 4.
The meeting in Arlington will be the first ever game between the Horned Frogs of the Mountain West Conference and the Beavers of the Pac-10.
TCU will then host Tennessee Tech, an FCS school, for the first time ever on September 11. On September 18, the Baylor Bears visit Fort Worth. The overall series between TCU and Baylor currently stands at 49-49-7.
The Horned Frogs' final non-conference game is Friday, September 24 at SMU. TCU leads that series 43-39-7.

4-0. But they'll lose to Utah, who will be the BCS buster.
Not too shabby of a schedule. OSU is a helluva pickup, SMU should still be respectable after finally getting to a bowl game in forever last year, and Baylor should be improved. Wish we could've picked up an FBS team for our other game, but schedules are set so far in advance and if changes are made in the "11th hour" finding replacement teams can often have a domino effect in inconveniencing multiple schedules of other schools. So if it is Tennessee Tech, so be it.
When r u guys gonna post the MWC schedules?

When heavy machinery wouldn't clear up an ice dam on an area creek, one community turned to more drastic measures.
This is Sand Lake Coulee Creek in the Town of Onalaska.
Officials opted to use dynamite to blow up ice that was six feet deep at some points.
Because of the ice dam... water was running around a dike and getting close to about a dozen homes.
So the town board went to lawmakers and the D-N-R to get permits to blow up the ice.
No homes in the area were damaged by the blast....
Crews dug out the channel after the explosion... and water was flowing by the next day.

Q. How is it playing at the varsity level of Turlock High football as a sophomore?
Turlock has owned the tennis courts for the past four years against Pitman High and the streak continued on Tuesday for the defending Central California Conference champions.
The streak continues for the Pitman High Pride who recorded their 22nd consecutive straight-set victory on Monday with a 25-17, 25-17, and 25-4 win over Turlock High. Now ranked 74th in the nation and 14th in the state of California, the Pride comfortably sit atop the Central California Conference standings while Turlock sits in second place.
For the second consecutive year, head coach Tom Tyler has led the Pitman Pride varsity football team to a 3-0 start to the season - last year the Pride managed a 4-0 start.
The Hilmar volleyball team is on a 12-game winning streak, and that success continued Monday with a 3-0 victory over the visiting Turlock Christian Eagles.
Turlock golf maintained its successful ways, as the Bulldogs won the Central California Conference Mid-Season Tournament last Thursday at Rancho del Rey.
Southern Athletic League rivals Delhi and Denair High opened league play Friday night with a slug fest that was reflective of the two teams' equal standing. Entering the game with identical 2-1 records, the Hawks (3-1 overall, 1-0 SAL) and Coyotes (2-2 overall, 0-1 SAL) took turns thrilling their crowds with big hits on defense and scrappy play on offense.
Turlock High battled till the end on Friday night, but finished its preseason league play with a 41-43 home loss to Tracy.
Q. You were a standout sophomore on the court for Hilmar volleyball. Have you made any changes to your game for your junior season?
Delhi High's volleyball team fell short against Le Grand High in the Hawks' second Southern League matchup of the season on Tuesday. The Lady Hawks tested the Bulldogs through four sets, but ultimately walked away from the court with a 3-1 loss (13-25, 25-14, 21-25, and 13-25).
The undefeated streak for the Pitman Pride's varsity volleyball team continues.
The Turlock Bulldogs beat out the Pitman Pride, 214-249, during the first girls golf rivalry match of the season on Tuesday at the Turlock Golf & Country Club.
Pitman High's Fernando Maldonado scored a hat trick, securing the Pride's roll over win against crosstown and Central California Conference rival Turlock, 5-0, in a matchup at Warrior Stadium on Saturday.
The Denair Coyotes held down their home turf at Jack W. Lytton Stadium Friday night when they defeated the visiting Argonaut High Mustangs, 18-14, in an all-out defensive battle.
Hilmar High remains winless at home after Fresno High spoiled the Yellowjackets' homecoming celebrations with a 24-21 victory at McSweeney Field Friday night.

Definición de regular guy en inglés:
regular guy
An ordinary, uncomplicated, sociable man.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- There's times when I go to my island in the Bahamas and, y'know, I'm the most regular guy you'd meet.
- As the driver comes around to open his door, he reaches out and shakes the man's hand, doing his best impression of a regular guy, and says, 'Hey, I'm Lance.'
- The frightening thing about all of this is that it just reinforces the trend to elect candidates because we think he's personable, has a friendly smile, is a regular guy, has a pretty wife, and can collect tons of money.

Theory and past research predict an increase in the sexualization of girls in United States culture. We used content analysis to examine change in the number of sexualizing characteristics (e.g., low cut shirts, high-heeled shoes) and childlike characteristics (e.g., polka-dot print, Mary-Jane style shoes) present in depictions of girls across time in the magazines Seventeen (N = 1649 images from issues in selected issues from 1971 through 2011) and Girls' Life (N = 763 images from selected issues from 1994 to 2011). One-way ANOVAS revealed increases in the total number of sexualizing characteristics across time in both magazines. In particular, depictions of low-cut tops and tight fitting clothing increased in both magazines. There was also a decrease in the number of childlike characteristics in Girls' Life across time. Possible reasons for increased sexualization as well as possible consequences are discussed.

Mistrial push fails in Ketchner murder trial
Darrell Ketchner
By Suzanne Adams-Ockrassa
KINGMAN - One of Darrell Ketchner's attorneys called for a mistrial Wednesday in the long-awaited murder trial after a witness introduced information that wasn't supposed to come forth until later in the case.
Ketchner is on trial for the July 4, 2009 murder of Ariel Allison and the attempted murder of Jennifer Allison, who was Ariel's mother and Ketchner's ex-girlfriend.
During testimony Wednesday, Denise Walsh, Allison's former next-door neighbor, mentioned three or four times the fact that Ketchner had been incarcerated.
Defense attorney John Napper objected and asked Judge Rick Williams for the mistrial, noting that both sides had agreed not to introduce Ketchner's previous stints behind bars until later in the trial. He argued that Walsh's statements tainted the jury.
County Attorney Megan McCoy retorted that since Walsh's references were so brief and the information would be introduced later, it wouldn't make a difference.
Williams agreed with McCoy, but ruled that the references to Ketchner's incarceration be stricken from the record. He instructed the jury, once it was reseated, to ignore that part of Walsh's testimony.

WALDORF, Md. (April 6, 2013)--A 3-year-old girl died after she was pinned under an automatic garage door at a home in eastern Maryland, authorities said.
The girl slipped out of the house and into the garage just before 4 p.m. Friday in Waldorf, Md. outside of Washington, D.C.
Authorities believe she may have pushed the garage door's control button and tried to run out of the garage, but the door evidently struck the girl's back and pinned her, authorities said.
An adult in the house heard the door and checked within minutes.
A preliminary investigation indicates the girl may have died of asphyxiation.
An autopsy was ordered.

The doctors at Complete Chiropractic relieve everyday aches and painful injuries with a combination of traditional techniques and advanced technology. The battery of equipment allows them to perform spinal traction to space out vertebrae, which can relieve pressure and reduce spasms. In private rooms, massage therapists draw upon the Graston technique. This method, which was developed by athletes, uses steel instruments to heal the fibrosis and inflammation often associated with sports injuries and falling asleep in bumper cars. When they aren't kneading sinews and cracking backs, staffers use acupuncture, kinesio taping, and cold-laser therapy to stimulate nervous systems, stabilize joints, and promote healing.

I'm not an expert on Nudibanchs, but according to http://eol.org/data_objects/22982022 they are hermaphroditic so there is no such thing as different sexes -- each individual has both sex orgrams.

@Cyndy Parr: Dear Cyndy Parr, I am researching into sexual dimorphism and wondered if Nudibranches display any differences? Do you know of any good resources of photographs showing the different sexes? Best, Clara Lacy

Where's the Fire? L.A. Museum Hopes Engine 51 Is a Five-Alarmer
It's Refurbishing Truck From 'Emergency!' The '70s Show That Introduced Paramedics
BELLFLOWER, Calif.— The hit TV show "Emergency!" was canceled three decades ago, but one of its stars is getting a serious makeover.
The County of Los Angeles Fire Museum recently acquired the 1973 fire engine used by the show's fictional Station 51 and hopes to turn it into a main attraction.
Though Engine 51 got as much screen time as the actors, it spent 21 years fighting fires in relative obscurity in California's Yosemite National Park. Now the fire engine has made its way back to Los Angeles, and the museum is trying to see whether it can reignite the show's smoldering fan base to help restore the vehicle to its former glory.
The museum has posted a pair of YouTube videos asking fans to submit photos that show how the engine was outfitted. It is also hoping that hard-core fans will help out with the $50,000 needed to spruce up the truck.
Paul Keenleyside was one of the first to answer the call. The 45-year-old computer systems contractor from Vancouver has been a fan of the show since it premiered. He turned to his videotaped collection of "Emergency!" episodes and within 20 minutes had collected 200 screen shots of the truck "from nearly every angle except the undercarriage, which," he says, "was rarely, if ever, filmed."
Richard Yokley, a retired suburban San Diego firefighter who co-authored "Emergency! Behind the Scene," a 402-page book about the show, sent along reams of technical information about the old engine—including details about its transmission and its siren.
The show, which ran on NBC from 1972 until early 1978, occupies a special place in TV history. Each hour-long episode followed the fictional exploits of Los Angeles County Fire Department firemen and paramedics as they braved their way through three or four separate emergencies.
In a single episode from the show's second season, a drunk driver crashes his car, trapping a child inside; a kid gets his finger stuck in a gumball machine; a woman has trouble breathing because of a tight girdle and a factory explodes because a worker inadvertently mixed reactive chemicals.
At the time, paramedicine was a fledgling field. Los Angeles was one of the first U.S. cities to have paramedics—typically firefighters trained to deliver critical care at the scene. Most of the nation still relied on private ambulances staffed with technicians who had more basic medical skills.
"We had guys on our fire department in the early 1970s who had never heard the word paramedic before, nor had most of the public," says Mr. Yokley, the former San Diego fireman. "People thought it was some sort of military parachuting outfit."
The show attracted some people to the field. Steve Bosso, who created a Facebook fan page dedicated to the show's two main characters, says that the series inspired him at age 30 to switch careers from graphic designer. He has been a firefighter and paramedic in Twinsburg, Ohio, for the past 20 years.
The show also pioneered a new kind of TV, which sought to accurately portray how the Los Angeles County Fire Department worked. Several Los Angeles firemen were hired by the show as technical advisers to ensure that the scripts credibly depicted the way they responded to emergencies. Fires were fought using exact techniques and terminology employed by the department, including proper hose nozzle settings and techniques for raising ladders next to buildings.
"The dialogue was often campy, but the emergency scenes were accurate down to the last detail," says Randolph Mantooth, who played heartthrob John Gage, the irascible jokester paramedic.
"The producers said, 'If L.A. County [Fire Dept.] didn't do it that way, then we couldn't do it that way,'" Mr. Mantooth says.
Mr. Mantooth says he was so taken with the fire service that he considered joining up after the show ended, but acting paid better. Now, more than 30 years later, he is still making a career off the show.
He regularly attends fire and emergency medical conventions where he signs autographs and poses for photos. And he travels the country speaking to industry groups.
Mr. Bosso's Facebook fan page, which he created about a year ago, has attracted more than 56,000 adherents.
"Emergency!" fans flock to Southern California to pay homage to the vehicles and the show's locales—including the fire station in the city of Carson, about 18 miles south of Los Angeles that represented Station 51.
In 2000, thousands of fans turned out across the nation as the old Squad 51 took a road trip from Southern California to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.
"I'd never seen anything like it, all these people in these towns who came out to see us," says Mr. Mantooth, who accompanied the truck on its journey.
In April 2001, Mr. Keenleyside and others spent a few days seeing their favorite "Emergency!" sights. He filmed and distributed a video of various locations.
The radio dispatch tones used on the show to alert the station to emergencies were long-ago phased out by the fire department, but they can still be downloaded today as cellphone ringtones.
For officials at the nonprofit County Fire Museum, the fervor of "Emergency!" fans keeps them busy.
"We have about 60 pieces of firefighting apparatus in our collection, including horse-drawn steam engines from the early 1900s. But people are most interested in Engine and Squad 51," says Joe Woyjeck, a captain with the county fire department and vice president of the Museum Association.

Dryer vents clog when enough lint accumulates in your ventilation system to cause a blockage. Dryer vents can clog in a variety of ways. For one, a lengthy distance on a dryer ventilation system increases the likelihood of bends and curves in the system, where lint is most likely to collect. Second, dryer ventilation tubes are made from pliable plastic or foil, which can be easily crushed or dented given enough pressure. Finally, a poorly connected ventilation or dryer vent screen can cause lint to trap. Some ventilation screens serve to prevent animals from accessing the ventilation, but these screens can also create a barrier for lint.
When lint builds in your dryer vent, it blocks the flow of air from the dryer to the outdoor vent, creating tremendous levels of heat that could lead to a fire. This heat can cause highly flammable particles like lint and clothing to catch fire. By having your dryer vent cleared of any lint or debris, you lessen the likelihood of a fire occurring due to a blocked fire vent.
When a dryer cannot ventilate properly, it will negatively affect your home's energy efficiency, the integrity of your clothing, and the operation of the dryer itself. A clogged dryer vent can affect the levels of heat the dryer uses to dry clothes. If clothing is subjected to extreme heat, your clothes, especially your delicates, can be ruined by the higher temperature. Additionally, if the mechanisms of your dryer are subjected to high heat over a prolonged period of time, those mechanisms could fail long before your dryer has reached the end of its service life. By ensuring that your dryer vents remain clear, you safeguard your clothing from damaging high heat and keep your dryer working as it should.
Indoor air quality is an important factor to respiratory health. A clogged dryer vent could negatively impact the indoor air quality of your home if not allowed to ventilate properly. If you have a gas dryer, a clogged dryer vent could cause the release of carbon monoxide. Because ventilation systems tend to run through a lengthy portion of the home, that monoxide leak could place several areas of your home at risk.
Cleaning dryer vents effectively requires powerful vacuum equipment that can dislodge and consume any lint that has become clogged in your vent. Sears professionals are trained in the use of this equipment and on how to inspect dryer vents for signs of damage or clogging. Once on the job, our technicians will inspect your vents for problem spots like elbows, crevices, bends, and long vents, where clogs tend to occur. After using our powerful equipment to remove such clogs, your dryer and dryer vents will operate properly without putting the safety of your home at risk.
I called in and explained to the call center rep what I needed. An animal had climbed up my dryer vent from outside and died. I could tell the animal was not in the vent tube itself and I specifically told the rep the animal had made it as far as the dryer housing. (a) The call center rep said "no problem, happens all the time. I can schedule you for Thursday" (b) the tech showed up to do a duct cleaning (!). (c) the tech was not aware I had a dead animal issue. (d) upon learning I had a dead animal issue and before ever looking in the vent tube itself, insisted he had to replace the silver vent tubing (adding 65.00 to my originally 110.00 service). (e) the animal wasn't in the tubing per my statement to your call center rep, it was in the dryer vent pipe that connects to the silver tubing from the body of the dryer . So why did I pay an additional 65.00 to replace the tubing? Why didn't the tech know why he was coming to my house in the first place? I will commend the tech who actually removed the rodent carcass from the dryer vent pipe. He clearly had not expected that to be part of the service call, and was a trooper about doing it. But the tech who insisted I had to replace my tubing without first looking inside my tubing should be trained better. Or your call center rep should be trained better so the right technicians are sent on a call in the first place. I am angry I paid for something I didn't need and that you sent service folks here unprepared for the job I had very clearly described to the call center rep.
The air ducts were not cleaned only the dryer vent.
The crew worked really hard. Our dryer vent was really packed full of lint. Great work. Thank you.
Price. Paid $294.24 for 15 cents (& free dryer vent). This price includes a $25 referral discount. I did not get the $10 on line discount either (I guess because I used the $25 referral discount. Didn't like $10 trip charge-I obviously can't bring my house to you. Fuel surcharge unnecessary in these days of low gas prices. Probably will go elsewhere in future for a lower price.
They worked very quickly and we were shocked at how dirty the dryer vent really was. We are very happy with this service but not happy with the customer service individuals who schedule the appointment. They were a 2 on a scale from 1 to 10 and were not helpful at all!
Too expensive for a 15 minute job to clean my Dryer vent. Will most likely find a local handyman in the future.
All was good! We have our dryer vent, vented through a basement window. The Tech gave me good advice to keep the lint from gettting stuck in the window well. I am very appreciative!
Everything was great EXCEPT -- the dryer vent cap price. I purchased the one that you sold, as expected, but the price was a complete rip off.
I will probably recommend your service, but i will always warn EVERYONE, NOT TO PURCHASE any additional products or service.
The same dryer vent cap costs $6.12 from Lowe's Hardware -- the SEARS version is a COMPLETE RIPOFF. Shame on SEARS.
The service was about speed. Only only vent was removed, and a wand inserted into the 7-other vents to loosen dirt and debris for removal by the large vacuum. Upon my examination in the duct where the large vacuum was connected, after cleaning, there was still particulates and debris in the duct. There is no way for the ducts to be effectively cleaned with the current system. Also, most importantly, below the dryer vent connection was a cleanout box. The techs did not open it to remove the lint. I did it myself after they left and removed a trash bag full of lint.
it was a dryer vent cleaning, not air duct, but the techs (Dennis and Lance) were great. very helpful; very professional.
We feel, in general, that if you have a problem with a product or the service provided by Sears they will "stand behind" that product or service. We appreciate the professionalism and service that George and Anthony provided yesterday with our dryer vent cleaning.
first time Matt came in to clean our vent , it was very unprofessional and did not clean our dryer vent properly He just use a little stick or wire and just shook it inside the vent that was it.,took him 10 minutes to do the job I could have done it myself. I have called back and they sent Ken second time around and he did an excellent job , that's how you clean a vent professionally. Thanks to Ken.
I did not have air duct cleaning I had a dryer vent cleaning. I was very satisfied. My dryer is working fine now. I appreciated that Sears came the next day after my phone call. That was very important to me.
I would definitely use Sears again. I have scheduled carpet cleaning because of the prompt and wonderful service. So, Thank you. I did not answer other questions because i did not have air duct cleaning.
The technicians that completed our dryer vent cleaning were excellent. Punctual, worked very hard and cleaned up perfectly. A job extremely well done.
It would be nice if the prices are a bit lower. In groupon and living social sites, there are many companies offering specials 1/5 of Sears prices including the dryer vent. Total cost for my house including the dryer vents was $243 where as clean duct pro is offering $59. However I do enjoy the services I received. The workers were cordial, friendly and courteous.
Professional and friendly crew. First time I've ever wanted to keep a service person's name and ask for that crew personally! Not only cleaned our dryer vent duct to my satisfaction, but showed me what was going on and explained things as they went.
The technician was on time YEA! He took time to explain what he found and gave me helpful information for keeping my dryer vents clean and my appliances working properly.
The gentlemen that came to my house to clean my dryer vents were very nice & professional. They did a very good job & I was impressed on how well they did the job. I would give them an A+ rating.
I had my dryer vent cleaned, they were professional and friendly and called before they arrived.
The three technicians that came to my home to clean my airducts and dryer vent were professional, courteous, and timely.
Of the two technicians, only one spoke English. Unfortunately, I do not speak Spanish. Before they started cleaning, one of the techs asked me for water, which I provided. Then the second tech also asked for water. The English speaking technician came across as very aggressive in his demeanor. At one point, he was going through my condo looking for a window through which he could pass an extension cord. I finally convinced him to use the door. After that, he was almost frantic in his search for a dryer vent outlet. He almost pulled down the vertical blinds in his efforts to open the door leading to the balcony. I had to stop him and open the blinds so he could open the door. Once on the balcony, he thought the fresh air intake to the furnace was the dryer vent. Needless to say, I was very uncomfortable having the two techs in my residence and was glad to see them go.
Excellent job of cleaning the dryer vent!
Service tech provided a check of my ultraviolet light in the air cooling vent and turned it on. I appreciated the technical explanations for how often I should get the dryer vents cleaned and the replacement of the vent to dry connection with a flexible hose. Very highly pleased. Thanks.
Thank you, I feel much safer now that my dryer vents have been cleaned out!
I was pleased with the work and all my questions were answered. One thing I did not agree on was the pricing for cleaning the dryer vent...it took them about 5 minutes, and I paid $109 for those 5 min! I thought something different was to be done. but anyway it's done.
The three (3) Sears technicians who visited me were extremely friendly and explained all of the actions they were going to take to clean my dryer vent. They answered all of my questions, and left no trace of debris or equipment marks in my condo. I was immensely impressed with the timeliness, professinalism and courtesy of your crew!!
Gentlemen were polite and conscientious about the work being done. They did the task with little mess, if any, and tested to make certain that it was better than when they arrived.
I would recommend them to anyone for dryer vent cleaning.
The initial quote was low; it had not included the dryer vent cleaning. I also had my air conditioner coils cleaned, though it was expensive. Now that the system has circulated the air for a day, I clearly notice the difference in air quality throughout the house and I can breathe much easier. I felt that Bernard Sennett, the crew manager, was straight with me and could be trusted. I am extremely pleased with Sears service.
This was for dryer vent cleaning but I was very satisfied.
Arnold, Darryl, and Adolfo were exceedingly profession, courteous, and knowledgeable. They treated my home with care, and all 3 worked together as a team. The 3 of them can return in a year to clean the dryer vent. Thank you for emptying such great and qualified people!
Our tech said the dryer vents did not seem that clogged to him, but the cleaning has made a huge difference in dryer performance, so we are quite satisfied. He also recommended that we get a Lint Lizard to clean lint from the inside of the dryer, and we have ordered one. Wouldn't have known about that otherwise. So we are very satisfied.
I didn't have air duct cleaning - it was the dryer vent system and we were very satisfied with Gerard, our serviceman. He did an excellent job, gave us good advice, and left the area spotless.
i have had this gentleman cleaing the dryer vent in my apartment I think now. each time it is timely, efficient. he is courteous and definitely an asset 2 ur company. I would like 2 request him each time I have this done.
Both of the young men that serviced our house were really patient and courteous. I had made a mistake in not knowing how many vents we actually had, which made their job longer and harder, and they were rained on, while cleaning out the dryer vent, and still had a positive disposition. They also understood the equipment, keeping things clean protected from the vacuum hose, and were helpful in explaining to me why one of the units needed to be cleaned off. It's nice to have knowlegeable people who work hard, care about the customers and do a good job. One was name Logan, and the other, I can't remember, he had dark hair, and brown eyes. Both of them helped me round up my escaped dog! Thank you.
I paid for 2 dryer vents to be cleaned. One vent is still completely packed with lint, as visible from the exterior vent. Lord only knows what the rest of the vent is like or the other vent for that matter. I had them cleaned to avoid a fire hazard, not to make one. I expect this entire job (both dryer vents) to be re-done at no cost and done thoroughly and properly. I had a funny feeling at the time the crew was here that they weren't doing the job correctly. I should have listened to my inner voice. I EXPECT to be contacted ASAP to resolve this issue. I'm lucky my house hasn't burned to the ground because of your foolish, lazy crew.
William was great and helped find a solution to my dryer vent problem. Thank you.
Jordan Vanduy did a great job! Very pleasant---even put the dryer vent I purchased from him on the dryer and helped me put the dryer in place. I will use this service again!!!!!
Carlos Del helped Jordan and was very pleasant too. The best ever dryer vent cleaning ever!!!!!!
Thank you Jordan and Carlos!
Travis and his team of three came to clean my air duck, dryer vent and the furnace. And they did a fantastic job on cleaning the job. They kept everything tidy and clean. I will use them again.
I found lint under the dryer vent inside the dryer so I'm not sure if they actually cleaned inside the actual dryer. Do they just clean from outside and not inside the dryer?
I thought the dryer vent cleaning would cover inside dryer as well as the hose connecting the dryer to outside.
I ordered the service online and thought the link I chose said Air Vent and Dry Vent Cleaning for the $189.00 price however upon the arrival of the technicians, I was informed that the $189.00 was only for the dryer vent service. I was pleased with the work performed, however, I was not happy that the technicians informed me that the air vent cleaning would be an additional charge per vent.
Luckily, once the technicians performed the free inspection on the air vents it was determined (by me) that I did not need the service after all.
The only "complaint" I have is that the technician told me that I should replace my dryer vent hose with a plastic hose vs. the foil one. When I went to Sears to buy the hose, the sales representative told me that you can no longer purchase plastic- they have been taken off the market due to fire hazards. I would think that the service tech should know this too.
The two men who came out to clean out my dryer vent were very pleasant and professional. I was very satisfied with the service they gave. They were very professional and answered my questions. They were knowledgeable and did a very good job.
Two men came to clean out my dryer vent which really needed it. There are 3 mens names on my invoice so I am not sure what the names of the guys who came out were but I'm sure you can look that up, they were very very good at what they did, and very professional. Thank You, Jean M Schaffer
Just wanted to note that I had my dryer vent cleaned not air ducts.
Jose worked efficiently and was extremely thorough when cleaning my air ducts, furnace filter and dryer vent. He showed me pictures of before and after of the furnace filter cleaning and took the time to explain what the effects of an inefficient filter. He did an outstanding job...I will recommend Sears Home Services to my neighbors when they are in the market for air duct cleaning!
I found your technicians Dalton and Allen to be both professional and genuinely friendly. They explained to me step by step what they were going to do and why. I appreciated their candidness and communication skills. Very satisfied with the job they did Cleaning my dryer vent. The time it takes me to dry my clothes now is noticably less. A sincere Thank You to Dalton and Allen for coming to my rescue. Cathy Malady
The only thing I didn't appreciate was the lack of answer to my question as to the length of the air hose that was inserted into the dryer vent. A smile, and "about three times as tall as me," by Jordan did not answer my question, nor did I feel that he took my question seriously. I would still like to know the length of the air hose.
Technicians were running late, but did call to let me know and asked if that was still okay. They were very courteous and professional. Dryer vent is now operating smoothly.
The clean up after the process was in a word "POOR" I was told the techs would take the vents and clean and sanitize them they did not! The "whip tool" was used to splatter dust and dirt off the vents and then left to be swept up by me. The ceiling vents as they were being unscrewed from the dry wall dry wall dust came down I and I was told the debris is just from the dry wall and it was left all about as well in my Grand daughters room dresser. All tthrough out the house dry wall dust and vent dust had to be cleaned after they lfinished/eft. My dryer vent was "cleaned" although he could not find the outside vent to be sure. He did the "best he could" dryer lent left all behind the dryer and i was told his little vacum couldn't handle it, he should have used his bigger Vac. I should have used a smaller check.$ 800.00 (ouch) more like $400 You let me down Sears I thought I could count on you
It was actually a dryer vent cleaning.
although Jared said he cleaned the dryer vent system, he didn't clean the actual dryer lint filter or the slot the filter fits into. I guess I assumed he would have done that too.
other than that, Jared was a pleasure to work with.
would definitely recommend him to others.
This was cleaning of my dryer vent which vents out on the roof.
Matt and Don were excellent! They were honest about the clog in the dryer vent and thought someone else was going to have to come out. They did everything they could to get it un-clogged. Also, on a side note, Matt stepped in something outside and tracked it in the house. I didn't notice, but he did. When they were done with the vent, he got out the carpet cleaner and cleaned up the mess. I will using this service again next year. I may even request Matt and Don.
Technicians were PROFESSIONAL, courteous, answered questions, called first, etc. Very good service! However, just an hour after they left I had a SEARS dryer repair person here, who said we needed the dryer vents cleaned! I advised him we JUST did! He said they were not allowing enough air to go from the dryer to the outside, and something needed to be done. Thank you.
The workers did not clean up after themselves. When they went outside...then came back in, they did NOT wipe there feet. Mud was on our carpets and stairs! Dust residue that came out of the vent areas when, they blew the ducts out to the vacumn downstairs, was in everyroom of the house around and LEFT at the vent! They did not even offer to place the vent covers back on the walls.
They both seemed tired and out of it and just wanted to get doon and leave!
Afterwards I had called and asked a local contractor what they would do for the same amount and they CLEARLY offered a more professional service AND with a thorough cleaning around the work areas AND with a video showing the clean ducts.
When they cleaned out the dryer vent, the amount of residue left outside was disgusting.
Why couldn't they have Cleaned up? They were in and out of our house within an hour. It was if they did not even care about how much it cost for their services!

In 2011, an estimated 19% (43.8 million) of adults in the United States smoked cigarettes, a drop from 20.9% in 2005, according to an annual report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
However, no significant drop occurred from 2010, when the rate was 19.3%, researchers reported based on data from the National Health Interview Survey.
Among adult daily smokers, the percentage who smoke 30 or more cigarettes per day dropped from 12.6 in 2005 to 9.1 in 2011, and the percentage who smoke one to nine cigarettes per day increased from 16.4 to 22 during the same period.
Smoking prevalence in 2011 was 21.6% among males and 16.5% among females. By race/ethnicity, prevalence was lowest among non-Hispanic Asians (9.9%) and highest among non-Hispanic American Indians/Alaska Natives (31.5%).
By age, prevalence was lowest among adults ages 65 and older (7.9%) and highest among those ages 25 to 44 (22.1%). Prevalence was higher among adults living below the federal poverty level (29%) compared with those living at or above that level (17.9%).
For the first time, the report includes data on smoking among persons with self-reported disabilities. In 2011, smoking was higher among those who reported having any disability (25.4%) compared with those who reported having no disability (17.3%).
Although a slight overall decline in smoking has occurred among U.S. adults since 2005, the prevalence remains higher than the Healthy People 2020 target of 12%, according to the report. A combination of smoke-free laws, tobacco price increases, access to proven quitting treatments and services and hard-hitting media campaigns will reduce healthcare costs and save lives, the authors noted.
"In recent years, several advances in tobacco control have occurred in the United States," according to the report. "These include implementation of the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, which granted the Food and Drug Administration the authority to regulate the manufacture, distribution and marketing of tobacco products. Although not affecting these 2011 findings, the federal mass media campaign conducted in early 2012, which included graphic personal stories on the adverse health impact of smoking, might contribute to future decreases in prevalence."
More of a commitment to anti-smoking measures needs to be made, the authors wrote.
"Although comprehensive tobacco control programs have been effective in decreasing tobacco use in the United States, they remain underfunded. In fiscal year 2011, CDC recommended appropriate annual funding levels for each state comprehensive tobacco control program. However, only two states funded tobacco control programs at CDC-recommended levels, whereas 27 states funded at less than 25% of these levels.
"Despite increases in excise tax revenue, state funding for tobacco control programs has actually decreased during the past five years. Full implementation of comprehensive tobacco control programs at CDC-recommended funding levels might result in a substantial reduction in tobacco-related disease and death and billions of dollars in savings from averted medical costs and lost productivity."
