Blogs and Blogging...
The blog will be undergoing some maintenance. For some reason, the Elements page is not working correctly. I can't save any changes there, and the widgets don't slide around like they should.
After reading some help pages, I've decided that maybe the template has become corrupted in some way. I don't know how to fix it, except to take it back to the Blogger template (Scribe) from which it was modified.
So, the blog will undergo a series of transformations this afternoon, and since it's going to be a major revision, I'm going to take the opportunity to make it a 3-column blog. Please forgive any strange-looking pages as the process is underway.
Sometime during the whole process, I figured out that Internet Explorer could make the Elements page work, even though Firefox (my preferred browser) couldn't. So I guess it's a Firefox thing, not a template or widget problem.
I reinstalled Firefox and Java, emptied the cache, deleted the cookies, restarted the computer, etc., in addition to reverting the widgets to their original forms, and reverting to a new template and modifying it.
Now Firefox can make the widgets slide around on the Elements page, and it can create a new widget, but it can't save any changes to an existing widget. However, the widgets can be modified and saved with Firefox directly from the blogpage. I don't know what's wrong but I will continue tinkering because I want it to work right with Firefox.
At any rate, I'm glad to have a change in the blog's appearance. It's refreshing to me.

NEW YORK CITY — On top of an old bowling alley in industrial northern Brooklyn sits an expansive translucent greenhouse. Inside, a bounty of produce thrives under the supervision of a computer-controlled network of sensors, motors and plumbing. The 15,000-square-foot hydroponic greenhouse facility, called Gotham Greens, is reputedly the first commercial-scale urban operation of its kind in the United States. Thousands of lettuce and basil seedlings were plopped into a soil-less farming system in May. Since then, three local entrepreneurs say their operation is on track to deliver 100 tons of produce by the one-year mark. While that pales in comparison to about 1.5 million tons of soil-free produce trucked into the city each year, and is far less than the output of nearby soil rooftop farms, the $2 million startup can't keep up with demand from the city's top chefs and upscale grocery stores. "On the first harvest day we had so much lettuce we almost didn't know what to do with it all, but now we can't grow it fast enough," said greenhouse director Jennifer Nelkin. Gotham Greens is already eyeing some of the the city's more than 940 million square feet of rooftop space to expand their high-tech operation. The hardest task, said co-founder and CEO Viraj Puri, is convincing landlords to entertain the idea of putting a watery business on their rooftops. After that it's a matter of navigating zoning restrictions, building codes and figuring out how to engineer the plumbing. "You can't bury anything on a roof," Puri said. "It requires some clever technology." Images: 1) Inside Gotham Greens at 810 Humboldt St. in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. (Dave Mosher/Wired.com) 2) The outside of the greenhouse. (Copyright of Gotham Greens) Plant Plugs The greenhouse begins its work by germinating seeds of four lettuce types and one basil variety in plastic bins. Fibrous plugs, spun from a volcanic rock called basalt, draw water to the fledgling roots and provide a medium for them to grow in. "Not just hydroponic growers use the plugs," Nelkin said. "A lot of farmers try and get a head-start at their soil farms, usually about six weeks before they can plant, by germinating seedlings in them." Images: Dave Mosher/Wired.com Irrigating Gutters Between 10 and 14 days after planting in the basalt plugs (above), the seeds sprout into seedlings and are ushered into hydroponic gutters (below). A series of pumps and drains constantly move nutrient-rich water through the gutters. Gotham Greens uses the nutrient film technique, which circulates a very shallow layer of water to supply roots with ample oxygen. Tight control over the nutrients and climate gives growers extreme control over their products. "Many [hydroponic] tomatoes in the store, for example, taste like a swimming pool — and it's too bad they're giving hydroponics a bad name. It's indicative of the grower, not the method," Nelkin said. "You can really manipulate produce with hydroponics. You can choose to grow a tasteless tomato full of water, or grow the best, sweetest, juiciest tomato you've ever had." Images: Dave Mosher/Wired.com Produce Juice Plants primarily need water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur to grow. Most of these materials come from air and tap water, but some trace nutrients need to be supplemented. Gotham Greens stores nutrient mixes in giant buckets (above). When low levels are detected by sensors or in human-collected samples, computer-controlled pumps move the fluid into a nearby lagoon. (For proprietary reasons, Wired.com was only allowed to photograph this part of the system.) From there the solution is delivered to the gutters, and runoff returns to the lagoon for recycling. The irrigation system is less complex than those of other hydroponic greenhouses, but Nelkin said anything more would be cost-prohibitive. "For our scale, it doesn't make practical sense to micromanage every nutrient," she said. "We're not that large." Their water comes from the tap. Image: Dave Mosher/Wired.com Climate Control Important to Gotham Greens' farming efficiency is a computer controller that monitors environmental conditions, keeping the greenhouse climate as ideal as possible for each type of veggie. A weather station (above) monitors outdoor conditions while a photometer (below) and other sensors help keep tabs inside. "When it hits a certain climate, [the controller] can turn on the fans, draw the sun shades, open vents, turn on the lights, turn on the heaters and so on," Nelkin said. Images: Dave Mosher/Wired.com Shoo, Fly But what of the pests found in abundance near any unprotected plant? Gotham Greens doesn't use pesticides. They fight fire with bug-eating fire. Colored plastic cards covered with sticky goo attract the pests, which Nelkin and others check each day. When a bothersome bug is identified, Nelkin shops online for its predator, orders it and releases hordes of them in the greenhouse. For aphids (above), a tray of ladybugs (below) usually does the trick. "About 1,000 ladybugs costs probably $20," Nelkin said. "It's more expensive than pesticides, but it works." Controlling other pests requires the introduction of predatory wasps. Images: Dave Mosher/Wired.com Green Power Intelligent, organic greenhouses require electricity for lamps, pumps, computers and more. Solar panels installed by Gotham Greens satisfy about half of the facility's needs, roughly enough to power 12 New York City households. "Over the summer, we generated a good amount of power," Puri said. "We're going to track that data so we'll be able to say exactly how much they help per year." Image: Dave Mosher/Wired.com Co-founders Jennifer Nelkin (above, left) and Viraj Puri dreamed up Gotham Greens in 2008 after collaborating on a greenhouse that floated on the Hudson River. They're now spending 100 percent of their time to develop Gotham Greens along with co-founder Eric Haley. Their local food business may cut back carbon emissions better than most farms by minimizing transportation and relying on solar energy, but Puri said their main focus is delivering good produce. "The green aspects are a great bonus, but we want to be known for the quality of our products," he said. After Gotham Greens' trial year ends in 2012, the company hopes to expand its line of crops to include tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, squash, strawberries and even eggplant.

The number of teens who die in motor vehicle crashes has tumbled to historic lows, down 64 percent since 1975, the Institute for Highway Safety reported last month. That's a very welcome trend, since crashes are by far the leading cause of death for teenagers.
But it's important to look closely at two related trends.
First, after declining gradually since 1988, the death rate from crashes for teens aged 15-19 dropped almost 30 percent between 2007 and 2009, an unprecedented two-year drop.
Second, most other age groups experienced a smaller but noteworthy 20 percent drop in those two years.
The widespread adoption of "graduated driver licensing" – the granting of full driving privileges to teens only after a supervised, restricted interim period – probably explains the greater drop in the rate for teens. But clearly other factors were at play that affected Americans of all ages.
The sudden decrease in traffic deaths followed a long-term decline apparently reflecting improvements in vehicles, roads, and driving behavior, such as seat-belt use. But much of the recent reduction in deaths was related to the economic recession.
A dramatic upswing in unemployment in 2008 coincided with the beginning of a drop in motor vehicle travel and a sharp decrease in highway deaths.
And note this: Economists Chad Cotti and Nathan Tefft report that along with increased unemployment came decreased alcohol consumption. That relationship – seen in previous periods of economic depression – was reflected in the drop in all fatal crashes.
Mr. Cotti, at the University of Wisconsin, and Mr. Tefft, at Bates College, suggest that alcohol expenditures away from home decreased while purchases of package alcohol did not. This underscores the role of drinking in bars and restaurants that is typically followed by alcohol-related driving to get home.
To our knowledge, no major breakthroughs in injury prevention have been achieved and introduced that would have shown a large and sudden effect in 2008.
The fact that alcohol usage may well explain much of the decline in deaths is a sobering reminder of the important, negative effect of alcohol on the health of Americans.
Nobody wants to prolong the generally harmful effects of the economic downturn, but we can try to mimic its health benefits. In particular, we should look toward policies that reduce alcohol use and driving.
These include increasing taxes on alcohol (higher prices reduce consumption), limiting the times and places where alcohol sales are permitted, and restricting alcohol advertising, especially ads likely to encourage alcohol use by adolescents.
Gasoline taxes should also be raised. Canadians and most Europeans pay at least $2 per gallon more than Americans due to high gas taxes. Higher gas prices tend to reduce discretionary driving – and thus, highway deaths.
Raising taxes is always controversial. But in this case, it will save lives.

One of the ways by which a virus can infect your PC is through USB/Pen drives. Common viruses such as 'Ravmon' , 'New Folder.exe', 'Orkut is banned' etc are spreading through USB drives. Most anti virus programs are unable to detect them and even if they do, in most cases they are unable to delete the file, only quarantine it. Here are the things which you can do if you want to remove such viruses from your USB Drive
Whenever you plug a USB drive in your system, a window will appear similar to the one shown below
Don't click on Ok , just choose 'Cancel'. Open the Command Prompt by typing 'cmd' in the run box. In the command prompt type the drive letter: and press enter . Now type dir /w/a and press enter.
This will display a list of the files in the pen drive. Check whether the following files are there or not
- Autorun.inf
- Ravmon.exe
- New Folder.exe
- svchost.exe
- Heap41a
- or any other exe file which may be suspicious.
If any of the above files are there, then probably the USB drive is infected. In command prompt type attrib -r -a -s -h *.* and press enter. This will remove the Read Only, Archive, System and hidden file attribute from all the files. Now just delete the files using the command del filename. example del Ravmon.exe. Delete all the files that are suspicious. To be on a safer side, just scan the USB drive with an anti virus program to check whether it is free of virus or not. Now remove the drive and plug it again. In most of the cases, the real culprit turns out to be the "Autorun.inf" file which mostly gets executed when someone clicks Ok in the dialog window which appears above. Thus the infections can spread
Security Tip
Disable the Autoplay feature of USB drives. If you disable the Autoplay feature of USB drives, then there are lesser chances of the virus spreading. A tool which can perform such a function is Tweak UI. Download it from here install it.

Rutgers and Louisville to play for BCS berth
The Big East Conference football season has come down to a game
between one school headed to the Big Ten and another off to the
Atlantic Coast Conference.
Louisville (9-2, 4-2) visits Rutgers (9-2, 5-1) on Thursday
night with the conference's bid to the Bowl Championship Series
berth on the line.
Both will likely be leaving the Big East after next season.
The Scarlet Knights announced last week they would be joining
the Big Ten. The Cardinals made it official on Wednesday that they
are going to the ACC. The exact exit dates are still to be
determined. The conference requires 27 months' notice, but has been
willing to negotiate early departures for other members.
Conference realignment has set a strange backdrop for what has
been a somewhat odd season on the field, too, for the Big East.
Louisville and Rutgers seemed primed to both come into this game
nationally ranked not too long ago.
But Louisville has dropped two straight after winning its first
nine and Rutgers was embarrassed by Pittsburgh last weekend in what
could have been a title clinching game. .
If Rutgers wins, it will earn its first outright conference
title and its first BCS berth.
If Louisville beats Rutgers for a third straight time, and
Cincinnati beats Connecticut on Saturday, there will be a four-way
tie for the conference title with the Cincinnati and Syracuse.
Louisville and Rutgers would emerge from the tiebreaker, and
Louisville would most likely get its second BCS bid based on a
higher BCS ranking.
The bowl berth would likely be either the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1
or the Orange Bowl on Jan. 2.
"I had no idea it would come down to this game," said
Louisville coach Charlie Strong, whose team was the preseason
favorite to win the title. "I don't think anyone in this room
would've said it would be us having a chance with the limited
number of seniors we have, feeling like we're a young team and
being a year or two away from where we need to be.
"But now the opportunity's here is here for us and you don't
ever pass up an opportunity," Strong added. "You can always say
next year is our year, but now you have a chance this year for it
to be that year, so let's take care of business."
This is familiar territory for Rutgers. It missed a chance to
win a BCS berth in 2006 when it dropped a triple-overtime decision
to West Virginia in the regular season finale, ironically, giving
Louisville the crown.
"We don't want to share it," said Scarlet Knights linebacker
Khaseem Greene, who was the conference's co-defensive player of the
year last season. "Sharing is not a good feeling. I know firsthand
from last season, sharing Big East player of the year was horrible.
It was almost sickening. I try to tell the guys that. I don't want
this team to experience that because we deserve it. We worked very
hard since the season ended in Pinstripe Bowl to be in this
position. And now it's time to take the next step and win."
Louisville comes into the game with quarterback Teddy
Bridgewater being a major question mark. The sophomore, who leads
the league and ranks sixth nationally in passing efficiency and is
second in the league in total offense (296.1 yards), broke his left
wrist – his non-throwing hand – against Connecticut last
Bridgewater is expected to play but his cast probably will force
him to take snaps in a shotgun position the entire game.
The Cardinals also have to get more out of their running game.
It has been limited to 75 yards over the last two games, including
27 against the Huskies Saturday.
"There's a big sense of urgency this week," said quarterback
Will Stein, who would take over if Bridgewater can't go. "If we go
in and get the win, these last few losses won't mean a thing
because we'll be Big East champs and we'll going to a BCS bowl.
It's the same on the line for Rutgers and they'll be playing their
tails off just like we will be."
Rutgers has its own quarterback problems. Sophomore Gary Nova
has thrown 10 interceptions in the last four games and the offense
has scored only 16 points in the last two.
While it has a 1000-yard rusher in Jawan Jamison, Rutgers'
strength is its defense, which has allowed 71 points in six
conference games. It ranks fourth nationally in scoring defense
(13.7 points), 14th in total defense (317.4 yards) and 11th in run
defense (110.7 yards). It is tied for third nationally with 17
touchdowns allowed, including six on the ground, which is fourth
best nationally.
"The stakes are definitely out there for us," senior defensive
tackle Scott Vallone said. "Winner goes on. Those are the things
we're definitely excited for. Pressure is on but this is why we
play, for this kind of atmosphere."

Skip to comments.UK: Roman Catholic adoption agencies cut ties with church over gay equality laws
Posted on 04/12/2009 9:58:41 AM PDT by Stoat
Five agencies have declared themselves independent - and some have changed their names - to comply with laws that say they must allow homosexual couples to adopt children.
The retreat ends decades in which the adoption charities have worked in the name of the Catholic Church with support from dioceses, clergy and congregations.
The decision to end the formal connection with the Church follows a deadline set by the Government for charities to comply with the 2007 Sexual Orientation Regulations. These laid down that no organisation or company may discriminate against gays.
As a result the adoption agencies were torn between loyalty to Catholic teaching, which forbids any recognition of homosexual partnerships, and the law.
The departure of the charities from the fold of the Church comes at a time of increasing concern among both Catholic and Anglican leaders over growing state intolerance of Christianity.
Catholic adoption charities are estimated to accept around £10 million from the state each year, mostly from local authorities. That money would cease to flow if agencies chose to ignore gay rights law.

Adoption chiefs sever links with the Church to ensure survival -Times Online
(emphasis added)
Battle far from over for those caught between Church and the law -Times Online
"At stake is the principle of whether a charity can, under religious freedom laws, be allowed to break the law on equality and discriminate, in this case against homosexuals. This issue is likely to feature high on the agenda for the new Archbishop of Westminster after his installation next month because it is one of the issues about which he feels most strongly. He is unlikely to let it go, especially as one of the agencies that has not yet given up is in the Westminster archdiocese. "
A personal note: This is my 1776th thread here at Free Republic, which is of course a very special number for us proud Yanks. It saddens me greatly that this thread pertains to such an unhappy subject...I would have preferred that my 1776th thread be about something happier and more positive, but the subject matter is one that's important to me and so it goes. I hope and pray that this matter might be successfully challenged and reversed before any more innocent children are lost to an environment of unspeakable perversion.
Many adoption agencies are caught between the Catholic church and the gay equality laws
They have chosen the path to hell.
Sad, I watched a TV program recently about "how ruthless" the early church (B.C.) was in fighting to follow the Lord's direction.
Today's churches bend over and let satan command almost every facet of society. satan has been taking the blood of the innocent for way too long, it's time the "grown-up" faithful see that evil blood must be let to achieve the Lord's goals.
The Catholic Church better not give them one dime. They chose to leave the church, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
This is a denial of a fundamental human right — freedom of religion. The Church should not give in on this, but fight it out in the courts. Here in Massachusetts, the church did the same thing. I wish they would instead fight.
No offense, the right thing to do would be to stop taking the state money and keep the ability to adopt to proper couples. They've decided they need the money more than their principles.
Maybe they could have sold off some assets and scaled down a bit, gotten rid of some things that weren't doing much for them, maybe unladen some things that were costing them more to keep than to let go.
Secular incrementalism wins over absolute morals once again. Thanks for fighting the battle hard for our side. /not
Read romans Chapter 1 verses 24-29.. clarifies the UK Position! Doomed!
How long before the government tells churches they can't perform weddings unless they agree to cooperate in same-sex "marriages"? Or use Bibles which contain verses condemning homosexual behavior?
my wife was adopted though catholic charities while she was in MA
Now they do not do any kind of adoptions because of the homos forcing them in a lawsuit
sad isn;t it that children will suffer and now the catholic church thinks accepting them is some kind of good thing.
the Pope should recall any priest who goes for the homos and replace the with someone who is willing to teach their faith instead of pandering
the homos biggest threat is a couple
one if all conservatives moved out of the north east and made a strong hold in the swing states and red states
religion threatens them and that is why they went after the catholic church in MA so much and sued the priest touching boys as an excuse of course it was not just a problem for the church but also what the media never told anyone is homos , those priests were homo and child molesters
Just an idle thought this Easter Morning when I read this article....perhaps Atheistic Capitalism will prove just as destructive to society and souls as Atheistic Communism....and not last very much longer.
"They have chosen the path to hell."
Sadly true and they can NO longer be called "Catholic" adoption agencies.
Exactly. I was talking with some friends who were suggesting Christians totally abstain from state marriages completely and abstain from purchasing marriage licenses. How can the government stop a minister from conducting a wedding ceremony in a private home?
I fully expect the government to criminalize the reading and preaching of Genesis 2, Genesis 19, Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, Judges 19:22, 1 Kings 14:24, 1 Kings 15:12, 1 Kings 22:46, Matthew 19:4-6, Mark 7:22, Romans 1:24-27, I Corinthians 6:9-10, and I Timothy 1:10 as "hate speech".
I don't see as much atheistic capitalism in the U.K. and the U.S. as I see bona fide, authentic atheistic socialism in both nations. And whatever form of atheism it is, times will continue to get worse.
No longer can Great Brittain or the US state that they have freedom of religion. When churches are FORCED to adopt practices that go against their basic believes, they are no longer free to practice their faith. How quickly and far we have come in the great depravity of mankind.
It already is in Canada. Maybe UK, too. Won't be long before it hits here.
What Government ? We no longer have a Government, have morphed into a form of Totalitarian Fascism pure and simple.
God Help Us.

History department screens documentary on Deutsches Haus

Loyola press release - October 1, 2012
The Department of History at Loyola University New Orleans presents a film screening of "This Haus of Memories," a first film by assistant history professor Justin Nystrom, Ph.D., on Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 7:30 p.m. in Nunemaker Auditorium in Monroe Hall.
For 80 years, the Deutsches Haus in Mid-City served as the hub of everything German in New Orleans. It survived some lean years during World War II, and the general decline of the neighborhood around it, but when Hurricane Katrina hit, the club's historic home was all but destroyed. When members of the Haus united to rebuild, it became a symbol of renewal and offered New Orleanians a hopeful moment for a city in need of victories.
Unfortunately, the newly renovated and historic clubhouse was bulldozed in 2011 after the city announced plans for a massive hospital complex in lower Mid-City, an area many viewed as being too blighted to save. Shot mostly between May and November of 2010, this 55-minute feature, which includes footage by Loyola students, follows the members of the Deutsches Haus as they prepare for their last Oktoberfest.
According to Nystrom, the film's genesis came during a freshman seminar class, "New Orleans, Immigrant City," that he taught in the spring semester of 2010. Students produced simple documentary short-films that reflected some aspect of the immigrant experience in New Orleans. By the end of the semester, a film based on interviews conducted at the Deutsches Haus really stood out. Elizabeth Wadsworth and Kristen Blomeyer, now seniors, had uncovered a story that deserved more thorough treatment. When other filmmakers rejected the project, Nystrom decided to make the film himself.
Edited from more than 15 hours of interviews and nearly as many hours of live footage, "This Haus of Memories" is a story about the power of community and the tough choices faced by the residents of New Orleans as they tried to rebuild after Hurricane Katrina.
The screening is co-sponsored by Loyola's Center for the Study of New Orleans.
For more information, contact Nystrom at email@example.com.

The Hunting Handbook summarizes the hunting regulations for private and public lands. The FWC also cooperates with other landowners to establish wildlife management area (WMA) regulations.
Licenses and permits
Florida residents and visitors need a Florida hunting license, unless they are exempt. The limited entry permit program offers quality hunting on WMAs. Application periods begin in early spring. For some hunts/times, no quota permit is required.
Hunter safety
Hunters born on or after June 1, 1975 and 16 years old, must pass a hunter safety course before purchasing a license. The mentoring exemption allows certain hunters to purchase a hunting license without completing the course.
Public hunting opportunities
FWC cooperatively manages public hunting on nearly 6 million acres in our WMA system. The FWC cannot give permission to hunt on other lands. Land that is not posted or fenced, including some water bodies, may not be open to hunting. There is a directory of outfitters and guides to help you plan your hunt.

dryer vent kings
The U.S. Fire Administration reports that every year more than 2,900 home fires are started by clothes dryers, and the leading cause of these fires is a buildup of lintdue to lack of simple maintenance on the part of the owner. Each load of laundry that passes through your washing machine and makes its way to your clothes dryer contains lint—mostly small particles of cloth and fiber that are loosened from clothing by the action of agitating water.
If you think that the removable lint filter in your dryer catches all this, think again. The problem is that not all of the lint is caught by the removable lint filter, but the lint that passes beyond the filter and is trapped in crevices deep inside the lint filter trap and all along the dryer vent hose or duct as it makes its way to the outside vent opening.
Warning Signs
Here are some warning signs that dangerous lint buildup has occurred in your dryer and venting system, indicating that it needs a thorough cleaning:
- Clothes take longer to dry or don't dry fully
- Clothes are hotter than normal at the end of the drying cycle
- Outside of dryer gets very hot
- Outside exhaust vent flapper does not open very much, indicating low exhaust velocity
- Laundry room becomes more humid than usual
- Burnt smell is evident in the laundry room
Tools and Materials You Will Need:
- Vacuum with long hose attachment
- Dryer vent brush kit
- Screwdrivers
- UL-listed metal foil duct tape
Thorough cleaning of your dryer and vent system requires special brushes. Vacuum attachments alone do not work as well because they do not agitate the lint to remove it from the walls of the duct, and they can't reach deep enough inside the dryer's lint filter housing.
Brush kits come with a long-bristle brush to clean the lint filter area, as well as a round-bristled brush that can clean out a 4-inch round rigid dryer duct—the kind you should have for all concealed portions of your duct run. The round brush tip fastens to a flexible fiberglass shaft that can be lengthened in sections.
- Note: If you have a flexible plastic or metal foil ductwork connecting your dryer to the outside vent, this is now forbidden by most building codes. These vent tubes are used because of the ease with which they can be routed through difficult spaces, but because their insides are ribbed, they can easily catch lint and cause fires. If you have one of these flexible ducts installed, it is best to replace it with smooth-walled metal ductwork. If you can't remove and replace it, the ductwork should be regularly removed entirely and carefully cleaned out from one end to the other.
Remove and clean the lint trap filter. This is the same thing you should do before or after each dryer load to keep as much lint out of the venting system as possible, but surprisingly, many people do not do this. Cleaning the lint trap with each load is the best way to prevent lint buildup on a regular basis.
Vacuum the inside of the lint trap housing, using a long, skinny hose attachment. Follow this initial vacuuming with a second pass using the long flexible brush from the brush kit. Extend the brush all the way into the bottom of the cavity. Using a gentle and slight twisting motion, pull out the brush to extract clumps of lint. Clean the brush bristles with the vacuum. Repeat as needed until there is no more lint that can be removed from the cavity.

Extend the brush all the way into the bottom of the cavity. Using a gentle and slight twisting motion, pull out the brush to extract clumps of lint. Clean the brush bristles with the vacuum. Repeat as needed until there is no more lint that can be removed from the cavity.
Attach the round duct brush head to the flexible fiberglass shaft, following the brush kit manufacturer's directions. Insert the brush into each duct section and sweep it clean by using a rotating motion while pushing the brush back and forth. Pull out the brush and clean the head frequently.
Clean the remainder of the duct run using the same techniques, adding more sections of flexible shaft as needed to reach the end of the rigid duct. Repeat until no more lint comes out of the duct. Check the vent cap at the exterior end of the duct to make sure it is clean and its flapper door works properly.
Note: Some brush kits can be connected to a portable drill to spin the brush inside the duct. If you use this option, run the drill at slow speed and advance the brush gradually through the duct.
Reassemble and/or replace the duct sections, keeping the following recommendations in mind:
- It's best to use an adjustable, rigid, 90-degree elbow at the exhaust end of the dryer. Semi-rigid flexible duct can kink when the dryer is pushed back into place, causing a major obstruction to exhaust flow.
- A section of flexible metal transition duct is acceptable between the dryer elbow and the rigid duct in the wall, provided the transition duct is UL-listed for this use and is permitted under the local building code. Do not use unlisted metal transition duct or any foil or vinyl flexible duct.
- Attach all rigid metal and semi-rigid ductwork sections with a 4-inch worm-drive stainless steel duct band clamp, tightening the clamp with a screwdriver.
- All concealed ducting must be round, rigid metal duct. Replace any flexible duct that isn't exposed with the rigid metal duct.
- Seal permanent duct sections with UL-listed metal foil duct tape. Do not use regular plastic duct tape, which dries out and fails over time.
Once the ductwork is in good shape, turn on gas valve (for gas dryers) and plug in the dryer. Push the dryer back into its normal position, making sure it's not kinking or deforming any of the ductwork. Make sure lint screen is in place. Run the dryer and confirm that it is venting completely.
