Craftsman Garage Door Opener problem
I have read existing posts about Craftsman openers. While the issue I am experiencing is similar to what was discussed, they are not the same.
I have 139.53971SRT unit that I inherited with purchase of the house last summer. The previous owner told me that the garage door (double door) was just recently replaced.
So, on 12/31/05 the door would not open, so I rushed to the nearby Sears repair center and picked up the replacement gear kit. The replacement was fairly straightforward task.
Two weeks later, 01/14/06, the door would not open again. This time I replaced both plastic gears: worm gear and the other gear. In addition, I had to adjust the up/down movements and noticed that the up/down forces are set to the max. While trying to reduce the forces, the door would door stop operating, so I left them at the max. The door and the two springs above seem to be working just fine with the door disengaged from the motor.
Last night, 01/17/06, I looked inside of the opener and found a lot of plastic shavings. That made me think that the problem is still there and I have to seek professional help :)
Did I provide enough evidence so you can identify a problem?
Thanks for your help!
First: From the number of postings from Craftsman GDO owners here, might i suggest you buy a better GDO (garage door opener)!
Either that, or hire a professional GDO repairman to come in and trouble-shoot it correctly, or replace it with something better!
It seems the Sears repair/trouble-shooters want to get yer dollars, so many trips equal many dollars!
There must be better GDOs out there, although you might have to pay more money for better product!
Go thru this site--observe the many GDO questions, and the many GDO repeat queries, and you'll see what i mean!
Re: the plastic shavings--they are probably from the stripped gears, either inside or outside of the motor/transmission case!
Wow!!!!!!! I called the K P Garage Door Service in Arlington Heights, IL (847) 255-2287, who installed the doors (see the original posting)
1) he tells me that he does not want to troubleshoot the problem knowing the history of the gear replacements
2) says that the up/down forces should not have been set to the max (9), by that confirming he's done a poor job when he installed the doors
3) does not want to look up the records of him installing the doors because he claims that the warranty does not transfer to new owners
4) swears at me and calls me names saying that I am so cheap to call professional when I was actually calling for professional to come and fix it
5) uses racist remarks about me
I will be filing an official complaint with the police regarding that business. As for my problem, anybody can recommend a good professional GDO repairman in NW suburbs of Chicago?
I expect you will find the original door was much lighter than the current replacement door. Therefore the springs are too weak as installed to counter ballance the door. I would be considering replaceing or adjusting the door hardware and a new opener. The dealer should make good on this installation. But doen't hold your breath. Do check door operation as machiem said above. I just found the bolts in the tracks catching wheels as they tried to pass by on both sides.
Thank you, guys, for posting replies.
I checked the door to make sure it could be manually opened and closed while disengaged... and since it was not that easy to open, I asked the closest GDO serviceman to do a service call for me.
For $80, I got the following:
1) he said that the door is balanced just fine and that I have new springs
2) he told me that I should have put "white" grease on the two plastic gears, a lot of it!!!
3) he tightened the bearing that holds the worm gear on the drive shaft... and after that, was able to lower the up/down forces to 5s
4) he tightened the chain just a little
5) he would not give warranty because the plastic gears are already worn after 5 days in operation
6) he thinks that 2) and 3) were causing the gears to worn out so fast.
I have a Sears garage door operator with a 3-function remote control that I can not get to work in harmony with a Security+ keyless entry system -- eather one or the other works--- get one programed and working go the program the second one get it working the first one does not work... both worked at one time ... store people thought it was a bad security+ keylessd -- replaced with new ---- use the "SRT" buttom to program units -- unable to have both systems work at same time - it is one or the other-----any help would be appreciated---thank you
I have craftman garage door opener model # 139.53879. Yesterday, when I go back to home, the garage door opener doesn't work,it doesn't open or close the door, but the Garage door is working with switch. I have no idea, what went wrong. The remote has 3 buttons and I am not aware of these button, no owner manual left by previous owner.I replaced the batteries, but no luck Any help will be approciated. Thanks -Surinder
Having a problem with a Craftsman screwdrive 1/2 hp opener; door goes up OK, but have to press and hold the button in, both in the garage and in the house, to complete the operation for it to close; won't close at all with the remotes. Unplugged all the wires in the back of the unit, tried using the remotes, the light on the opener flashes, and that's the only response. Anyone have any ideas? thanks. Considering replacing with a Chamberlain, any input on the quality of this brand or any other?
I recently replaced the nylon drive and worm gear on my craftsman opener and it works great....As long as 6 inches is all you need to get out of the garage. I don't know why but the opener will only raise the door 6 inches. The motor either turns off or reverses after running for 3-4 seconds. I even disengaged the drive gear by taking it out to see if that was holding it up. So even without the door attached to the motor it's doing the same thing. Any suggestions?
I have a Sears Craftsman GDO model 139.53985D that I inherited when I bought my house 3 years ago. I have had few problems until recently when it intermittently opens (or closes) and then freezes. Sometimes, pushing the button will cause it to go up (or down) but sometimes it's just locked there. I identified that it seems to be a loose connection of some sort since I noticed that the wall button and the sensors are not powered (usually) when it's locked. If I bump the bottom of the motor unit enough times, I can hear a clicking (like an electrical relay) and if the lights come back on, then it will work fine. I opened the sucker up and found that if I pressed on the transformer, I heard the same clicking sound. But I can't seem to clearly identify the source of the loose connection. If I disconnect the two circuit boards from each other, and then manually push them back together with the power on, then I also hear that sound.
Any advice? Or just buy a new unit?

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Russia's president declared that his country would not fall back this year. Dmitri Medvedev said he wanted to save Russians the stress of turning back their clocks an hour. But smartphones and computers didn't get the memo. People missed meetings when gadgets made the switch, according to the Moscow Times. International traders have adjusted to the new work hours, at least until this weekend when other countries turn their clocks back. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Buffalo lawn seeding (a retrospective)
I always love the posts where people ask how to do something after they've already done it. Now here's mine! I'd love to hear any shared experiences though in case I can improve things at this point.
I picked up a couple of pounds of "Thunder Turf" seed a couple of months ago. This is a blend of Buffalo grass, Blue Grama and Curly Mesquite, (also sold as "Habiturf" http://www.wildflower.org/habiturf/) intending to do a test in my Austin lawn that got cooked during the drought. I did my prep little by little over the past few weeks as I had time.
I plotted out a 22 ft -diameter circle and hand pulled all the weeds that had sprouted up in the dead lawn, then hit the few patches of Bermuda and surviving St. Augustine with Roundup a couple of times.
Over a few backbreaking days, I yanked most of the dead St. Augustine out with a rake, leaving some roots and vegetation, but well enough that I could see dirt over the whole area. I spread a small bag of Bio-Tone 4-3-3 organic fertilizer I had on hand and went over the area a couple of times with a manual cultivator to break up the top inch or so and get it good and crumbly. Then I spread a bag and a half of peat moss over it, cultivated it again, and watered it well a couple of times over the course of a few days.
My intention had been to top it with a half inch of compost, but given lack of time and the general good state of my soil, I figured some peat moss to help moisture retention and the fertilizer for a little seedling boost would suffice.
Last night, I spread the seed, walked over the whole area many times to press the seed into the soil and gave it another light covering of peat moss. Then I watered for 15-20 minutes and set my hose timer to run 5 minutes every 6 hours. We're currently having 85 degree highs and lows around 70, so I hope the real heat holds off for a couple of weeks.
My dog is eagerly awaiting the results.
That photo was actually taken after the initial clearing. Here it is now.
Better late than never with the follow-up.
This went pretty well. I kept it watered for 4 or 5 weeks and spent quite a bit of time pulling weeds, but it sprouted and filled in very nicely. Over the summer, I mowed it a few times as low as 3 inches.
I'm about to try this again, replacing my entire weed/St. Augustine front yard of about 1750 sq ft. this time. I'm hiring a landscaper to remove the existing grass and spread compost, but will do the seeding myself again.
Here's a current shot of the initial plot.
Buffalo has two challenges:
1. It cannot take competition from Bermuda, Zoysia, and Saint Augustine. That is assuming the conditions are right for them to grow.
2. It does not tolerate any shade.
So here is the problem if the other grasses like Bermuda gets what it needs to grow like water and sun shine, it will overtake Buffalo.
The fence, shrubs, and trees you have will be a problem if they cast any shade on the Buffalo.
This post was edited by texas-weed on Wed, Apr 3, 13 at 22:51
When did you plant it? I'm surprised there are any bare spots. These are all bunch grasses but tillering should spread them fairly well. Some buffs tiller much (MUCH) faster than others.
What was your watering regimen over the summer?
Texas-weed, having read about the shade intolerance, I was worried about the edges of this plot, but it seems to be doing great all around. This view is to the East, so the sun is usually on it by mid morning and into the late afternoon.
As the peach trees there and the oak behind and to the left of my camera continue to grow, I may have troubles, but so far so good. Without watering, the St Augustine in the yard confines itself to the area most shaded by the oak, so I'm content to let it and the buffalo negotiate their own border. I'm not shy about using Roundup on the Bermuda.
Dchall, after speaking with some of the Native American Seed people at the Wildflower Center last year, I think the bare spots are probably due to overwatering during sprouting, which was last April. Apparently the curly mesquite is particularly sensitive to too much water. The bare spots are most concentrated in the center of the circular plot where the impact sprinkler was, and it sputtered and leaked quite a bit, soaking that area.
I feel like I did water too much -- I was paranoid about them sprouting and kept it very wet for a whole month probably. I'll try to be more reserved this time.
And speaking of this time, I ended up balking at the landscaper's quote and rented a sod cutter on Friday and cut out the whole front yard myself. Having hacked the last plot out by hand, I can fully endorse the sod cutter as a miracle invention. Took about an hour to do the whole yard. I left the cut sod sitting while I was out of town and it's now pretty thin and dry. I'm planning to bag mow it this week, perhaps saving it to use as mulch for the seed.
The corner that was most Bermuda got 2 rounds of Roundup before cutting and I plan to put a perimeter bed in that area rather than grass. I'm going to bag up those cuttings and give them to the city.
Looks like we may get rain midweek -- I'm imagining seeing if I get some weed sprouts or Bermuda growth and spraying Roundup again before doing the soil prep and seeding over the weekend. Does that sound at all reasonable?
And just to clarify about the bare spots in the first plot, it is nowhere as bad as that picture seems to show. The bare spot at the bottom of the photo is actually the perimeter where the buffalo meets some centipede and some cool-weather grass that grows where traffic has gradually killed the St Augustine. I'm already seeing new sprouts in the bare spots and the buffalo runners are spreading well. It's also greened up and grown noticeably in the past week.
For the front yard project, I'm actually planning to do close to double the standard seeding rate to speed up coverage and hopefully cut down on weeding.
Update. Over the weekend, I did a little more cleanup and leveling with a rake, gave the Bermuda sprouts some more Roundup, then spread 8 pounds of seed over the ~1700 sq ft front lawn. I raked it lightly, went over it with a roller and got my sprinkler set up to go every 6 hours for 10 minutes.
I started to cover it all with a light layer of dead St Augustine, but ran out of daylight. And I've got a bag of alfalfa pellets I plan to spread, but am waiting for a friend to return my spreader.
Now I can just sit back and obsess over every sprout I see for the next 2 months.
Update. I've got a lot of grass growing. Lots of weeds too. I definitely rushed to seed and if I ever do this again, I'll spend at least 3 or 4 weeks sprouting weeds before I plant the grass.
I spent about 20 minutes pulling weeds tonight and will try to do the same a few times a week from here on out.
I'm not too worried, except for a couple of patches of Purslane that have formed a total carpet over about 30 or 40 square feet. I've hit bits of it with Roundup hoping to open up some spots for later grass sprouts or for the buffalo to spread into and get established.
I think I've probably been overwatering again. I was doing 10 minutes 4 times a day for the first 2 weeks. I did 20 twice a day for a week or so after that and I'm now doing 25 minutes every 3 days. Looks like we're getting to the heat now, with highs of 97 forecast for the next week. So I'll keep an eye on it for signs of stress, but I'm going to try to keep it as dry as possible to give it some advantage over the weeds.
I did end up mulching it a bit with dead grass and spread about 20 pounds of alfalfa before it sprouted.
More as this exciting story develops ...
Ps. The photo was taken at probably 6:30 PM -- most of the yard gets full sun for most of the day.
This is very interesting. I'm glad you are following up and posting pictures. Little is known about this grass mix outside of the universities. I've been told that blue grama will not survive much south of Austin, but I should have tried it anyway.
When that coily hose finally breaks, go to Sears and get a hose with a lifetime guarantee. I've replaced my hose from 1985 three times with no questions asked and no receipt needed (unlike guarantees with other hoses). I have about 8 Craftsman hoses now (two houses and one is an acre).
I know! That hose is about worthless. I've got it running to a sprayer there just for the purpose of watering the 100 square feet or so in the sprinkler-shadow of that tree. I'll definitely try Craftsman when I need a replacement.
I was just meaning to post some pics of my original plot, seeded April 11, 2012. I took some this morning after mowing for the first time this season.
It looks great. I'm really impressed with how thick it is. I've got a moderate crabgrass problem in one section, but you can't really tell by looking. And the buffalo is sending out runners pretty aggressively into the desodded area around it where I spread some additional seed the same time as I did the front yard.
If you have buff escaping out of the circle, you might want to be sure it is seeded and watered to get the blue grama and curly mesquite to make it look right. Otherwise, that came in nice and dense. Good job.
Have you watered or fertilized?
I hadn't thought of that, but the area immediately around is seeded with Thunder Turf and sprouting pretty well. Further from the circle, it's not sprouting at all, probably because of inconsistent watering -- I didn't have a a timer on it like I did in the front yard. I also didn't spend as much time on prep back there and didn't mulch it.
The year-old section got watered through last July while establishing, then half of it has had a lot of water in the past month since I placed my impact sprinkler in the circle to best reach the new seeds. It also got alfalfa pellets a month ago, but I think that's all.
Buffalo grass is native to the great planes states. It is very drought resistant, but will not grow in the shade. I got acquainted with it while I was farming from 1987 to 2003. We had some growing in a gravel driveway where we drove the tractors, trucks and combine over it continually. The annual rainfall is 15 inches per year, but the buffalo grass would look dead during extreme dry times and then green up after a rain. It only received water when it rained. I was amazed and decided that's what I wanted for my lawn. I am having success plugging my yard with it, but gathering and planting the seeds does not work for me. Mowing it very short does not seem to hurt it. If left unmown, it grows to a maximum of 4 inches high. My goal is to have it over my entire 15 acres. It spreads with runners like Bermuda grass does and chokes everything else out. I read somewhere that the seed needs to be treated somehow to make it germinate when planted, but I have not checked that out. Hope this helps someone. I can post photos later, but you can Google "buffalo grass" and the click images for some good pix.

Where do you live, Michael?
There seems to be many different varieties of buffalo grass with widely varying characteristics. The first time I saw it was at a friend's house. Her yard looked like weeds, but she claimed it was buffalo. Well, if you looked closely between the grass plants it was weeds, and that's what stood out.
Other varieties of buffalo are extremely dense and keep the weeds out. It's been 3 years since the Thunder Turf mix (it goes by several names) came out. They have probably tuned up the seed with experience.
Here are two pictures of a variety of pure buffalo called Tech Turf by the Turffalo company.
The first picture was mowed that morning to a height of 3/4 inch. It looked just that good in person. The second had not been mowed in weeks. You can see how it spreads as it tries to escape across the sidewalk. You can also see the flowers and seed heads. What makes this variety nice is that the seed heads and flowers grow at about the same speed as the grass itself. Most other grasses will send up seed heads and flowers much faster than the grass grows leading to the shaggy look before the week is through. The close up in the second picture also shows how dense it becomes. This location was on the northeast side of a tree. The area right under the tree to the north was bare, so it is very sensitive to sunlight. Here's another picture from the first lawn taken by the neighbor's mailbox.
This was on the west side of the mailbox. Obviously it gets watered, but the morning shade to the west of the mailbox stand is enough to thin the grass out significantly.
All these pictures were taken in Lubbock, by the way. The first and last are at a residence. The middle one is at a frat house behind Texas Tech.
So the point is to do some reading on the variety of buffalo grass you are going to buy. Better yet, find a distributor and see if you can visit some installations. Tech Turf is not available in seed form. You have to buy plugs from the Turffalo company. It's expensive, but it spreads fast once established. Once you develop a dense plot yourself, you can make your own plugs and spread it faster.
Well, it's about to be 3rd summer for my front yard and the 4th for my backyard plot. I'll try to sum up my experience so far.
First though, I'll say I should probably report back in June to give a full opinion. We've had a lot of rain so far and I've got tons of winter grass and other early weeds in the yard right now and the turf is still dormant.
So at the moment, I'm not too happy with my choice, but as I recall from last year, once the grass gets going and everything dries out, it gets better.
Weeds are really my only complaint with my experience. I don't know if it would be any different with any other grass type, but it's been a constant fight. If I was starting again, I would wait much later to seed, and spend April watering and glyphosating the weeds multiple times.
All that said, I was really happy with how it thickened up and blocked the weeds last summer as compared to the previous year and I hope that trend will continue this year.
I'll just keep looking at those pictures I posted last year to keep my spirits up during the dormant spring phase.
And on another topic ... I did a bit of spot-spraying with glyphosate on some weeds a couple of weeks ago. I had visited with the Thunderturf people a couple of years ago at the Wildflower Center and they said it should be safe to spray while the turf was dormant.
I'm not entirely convinced of that, but I do have green turf growing within the brown sprayed weed patches. I don't think it's quite as green as the unsprayed areas though. I'll try to report on ongoing differences.
Also, I'm curious if anyone has knowledge or experience with Iron X. I wouldn't mind finding something that, even if not quite as effective as Roundup, I would be comfortable spraying on the whole lawn. Plus, there's that new glyphosate-causes-cancer study ...

Exterior concrete block stucco paint, prime, prep info
Hi, I'm getting ready to paint the exterior of my Florida CBS home and would like to know of some specific names of primer or (?) As well as a name of a good paint chalk remover and any other helpful info for my job.
Here's the story: The house had new construction shoddy watered down paint thrown on with no primer or anything. Of course this did not last long so husband decided to repaint with BM paint except he does not believe in paint prepared-ness. Against all my protests he painted over mold, dirt, and dusty chalk areas. Of course that did not last and it will take me until the cows come home just to get house ready for paint.
Where I'm at now: I am in the process of pressure washing the house, the paint is coming off in huge pieces, in some areas the paint has washed off down to bare stucco. I will then scrape and wash with a chalk remover and let dry for several days. If I'm not dead by then I imagine I need to add a coat of something before paint (but what for a cement block stucco covered house)? Next I will paint with BM paint (but what line of BM will be best and last the longest)???.
I want to do it right this time so words of wisdom are appreciated.
P.S. I will be getting some help but hiring a professional is not in budget.
Thank you,
One step that is often ignored in stucco is letting it cure until the surface is no longer alkaline. It takes 60-90 days, and any paint applied before then usually falls off.
Pick a paint line that is meant for stucco - one that specifies stucco on the can - and follow the prep directions on the cans. And apply it with the right kind of roller and not too thin.
For longer-lasting color, start with a slightly grayed color, because the brights and clear colors fade to grayish anyway.
Here is what you want

A federal appeals court has ruled unconstitutional a 2002 law that allows Americans born in Jerusalem to designate Israel as their birth country on their passports.
The lawsuit, brought by an American couple whose American son was born in Israel in 2002, challenged the government to uphold the law. Instead the court found it unconstitutional.
The State Department has not permitted Americans born in the city to list "Israel" as their birthplace on their passports, despite the law.
Both Israelis and Palestinians call Jerusalem their capital. American policy has been that the status of Jerusalem should not be decided unilaterally by the U.S. To do so in favor of Israel, administrations have argued, would damage American credibility in the Arab and Muslim world.
The case hinges on the judicial consensus that foreign policy is generally the responsibility of the Executive Branch, not Congress.
"Congress plainly intended to force the State Department to deviate from its decades-long position of neutrality on what nation or government, if any, is sovereign over Jerusalem," reads the opinion [7] from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
The child at the center of the case, Menachem Zivotofsky, was born shortly after the 2002 law was passed, and his passport lists "Jerusalem" as his birthplace.
The attorney for his family, Nathan Lewin, said in a statement that he now wants to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, according to The Associated Press.
"We hope that before Menachem Zivotofsky's bar mitzvah he will be able to bear a passport that recognizes his birthplace as 'Israel,'" he wrote. That would be in two years when the boy turns 13, according to Jewish tradition.

Garden Frog's (Tara) Plant Swap Whatcha gonna bring???
Ok our new Mom Tara is busy with Anika, so what's everyone growing and going to bring to the swap???
I did no winter sowing. Whatever I bring will be what's survived out in the yard -- and it's all covered in a pretty thorough layer of snow at the moment.
I'm predicting bringing rudbeckia, purple coneflower, sweet woodruff, maybe lupine, but it really depends on what makes it, what went crazy over the past year, and what no longer fits where I put it.
i have already wintersown 47 containers. Some are individual seeds and some are much more. If all goes well this year I hope to have enough of the following to bring to the swap:
...AGASTACHES (sown 7 varieties)
...AQUILEGIA CANDENSIS (native columbine)
...CAROLINA JESSAMINE VINE (I'm a glutten for vines)
...HARDY HIBISCUS (2 or 3 new varieties this year)
...ROSE OF SHARON (pink and purple varieties)
Husky what are you bringing???? BTW, my passion vine is still going strong!
Penny-Im just starting my winter sowing so the sky's the limit...then I will start my indoor seedlings...I hope to have some new passifloras for you this year...and im still overrun with my overwintered brugmansias. I have a new truck for us to load up and we'll make sure we get directions to get home this time lol.
I am trying to oversow this year and using Miracle Gro for wintersowing in hopes of much better germination and bigger plants in time for the swap. i got a bunch of seeds from my passiflora that you gave me last year so I am going to try wintersowing a few of those and save some to share. I can't believe how well it has done over the winter in my kitchen.
Hi kids! Glad to hear speak of passiflora. Someone sent me seeds, and I see it is zoned to 6, and have been wondering how it does here. Mine were sent from texas so may be a more delicate strain though.
My wintersows are mostly woodland flowers which grow slow so will be hard to know how many I want to keep, and many are multi cyclers. I will probably be largely dependant on what self sows and what needs dividing. I can definately bring the Peach Leafed Bellflower and I always have Rose of Sharon babies-have like two and three year olds looking for homes. I should have four oclocks and double columbine and blue Flax that self sow, assorted mints (catnip, catmint, spearmint, variegated spearmint, citris mint, lemon balm and black peppermint). I sowed some agrimony just to bring to trades as it is a great wet shade plant with cool historic herbal refrences. I am sowing several wild flowering shrubs, and if I get good germination I will have more than I can get in here (Great Laurel, Mt. Laurel, Oak Leafed Hydrangea and one more whose name I can't recall). I am certain my Mondarda will need or at least benefit from seperating-mostly pink and purple colors (and no I dont know which is which). I have white Rock Cress that is easy to get rosettes from,also Ajuga. I have peony seeds that I am sowing just for trades also, and yellow flag seeds. The most exciting is tetraploid hybrid daylilies-I sowed several hundred seeds so if I get even decent germination I will have way more than I can find room for, and they should be spectacular.
I have my passiflora growing in a larg pot and I brought it in over the winter b/c I wasn't sure how hardy it would be. i put the pot on a pebble tray of water and keep the water fresh in there and it has done really well that way. Much less leaf loss than when I was top watering it.
I don't do winter sowing, so I will be dividing perennials. I don't have a lot, but I will bring some delphiniums, different colored daylilies - burgundy, white, pink, aster frikartii, dahlias - some gorgeous ones!, veronica incana, kalimeris, and whatever else looks like I can divide.
I was going to ask if people have any requests. For example, Penny and Laurette have so many wonderful sounding seeds that they have sown. Is there anything you would like to request from others? I suspect you will be bringing more than anyone else, and I'd like to bring something for you in return.
Perhaps we can put in some requests as well?? I was hoping someone might be able to share some hardy geraniums. Thanks
Gotta Garden,
i have sown so many so that hopefully I will have plenty to share. Last year I used cheaper potting soil and didn't have good germination on some things so I have swithched to miracle gro this year and am trying to sow plenty so I will have lots to share. Most of my planting is for hummingbirds so if you garden for hummers then hopefully I will have a good selection.
Your daylillies sound beautiful. I only have one right now and it didn't bloom last year for some reason.
I am also hoping that the cuttings of my red weigelia shrub make it through the winter so I will have some of those this year.
If anyone has any of the following plants/cutting or seeds i am definitely interested
BIGNONIA CAPREOLATA - Crossvine
IRIS FULVA - Copper Iris - only this Species
LONICERA SEMPERVIRENS-native honeysuckle (not Japanese)
If you tell me what to do with native honeysuckle cuttings, I'll bring some. I've got a lovely coral honeysuckle on the fence near the garden, and I'd like to be able to share it. But as of right now, I've just got the one vine out in the snow.
Myself, I'd like any clematis, epimedium, Japanese primrose, tiarella, or trillium, if anyone's got any.
I'm thinking I might have some extra jupiter's beard, maybe some siberian iris... and does anyone know of a good way to convince money plant to travel? I let it plant itself a little bit, and it picked some, um, unusual locations. I'd share a few if they moved better. Probably lady's mantle and maybe hosta, too. Depends on what the plants look like once they aren't buried.
If someone can tell me how to root the cuttings, then I could bring sweet autumn clematis as well.
You can propagate honeysuckle by softwood cuttings
The best time is when new growth starts to appear in the spring, although if there is green growth, you can do it indoors most anytime of the year. Cut a length of green "soft wood" growth from the end of one (or several) of the vines, making sure to get several sets of leaves. Strip the leaves from the end of the cutting nearest the cut end. You should have one or two leaf nodes bare and one or two sets of leaves left on the vine. At this point you have a couple of options. One is to dip the plant in rooting hormone and place in damp potting or rooting soil. The other is to place the cutting in a vase of water and allow the roots to develope that way. If you go with the water method, be sure to change the water regularly to prevent rot. You will see the roots forming, and when you have several good roots (an inch or so long) you can plant your new plant!
Wow! You Winter Sowers are putting me to shame. I haven't had time to WS this year, but I am going to start some seeds in the window soon. I'm not sure what I will have this year. I've had a bunch of stuff that could probably be divided as of last fall, but we shall see how it fared this winter.
Gotta garden, what color/variety of delphs do you have? That is one of my big wants for this year, so I plan to grow several from seed!
I am getting excited!!
See you all this spring. I posted date options on the exchange page.
I'll certainly set aside some delphs for the hostess! Unfortunately, I don't have them labeled for colors, but they're all gorgeous - different shades of purple, white, and an unusual dusty rose color. They are the Magic Fountains, a dwarf variety which doesn't need staking (2 feet tall).
Hi all, I'll be bringing anything that can be divided just like last year. I will definately bring more zebra iris. One thing I will need from someone is a hosta. My husband wants one. I have no clue why he does, but he does. The only thing is I'm not particularly fond of hosta, maybe because I see them everwhere. So, if someone has a not so run of the mill one to trade with me,I would be very happy.
I'll be dividing a couple of herbs this year-mainly oregano and salad burnette. I'm gonna end up doing hosta too, because I want to raise that bed to incorporate more organics. They are not a special one but will bring them along anyway. It also looks like I will have some extra heirloom tomatos and purple millet. Plus whatever survives from the WS.
I am looking for rose of sharon. If anyone is interested I can attempt to root some burning bush cuttings.
lilylouse - I have many two to four year old Rose of Sharon that need adopting. If you could take some that would be great.
Gotta Garden-I think I would like Rhubarb. It is like "hardy elephant ears" right? Sounds way better than digging up bulbs every year and fits into my herb garden theme.
I am having to move large amounts of yellow daylilies to put in a small garden pond and rock garden/backdrop. They are a fairly early bloomer (same time as the orange or soon after). I can pot some up now if anyone is interested, or easily dig up clumps later on since they are all recently "semi divided".
I have alot of tarragon "larger seedings" (started early under lights) and I only want one *grin*. I am saving the rest for you so start looking for recipes that require tarragon.
Will post more as I see how things come up of back of grow.
Looks like we are thinking June 4 or 5(?) Not confirmed yet to my understanding. See the discussion started by Gardenfrog to opinionate or for updates.
Lots and lots of tarragon! I have enough to outfit every garden in NYS so start looking for recipes!
Yellow Daylilies. Ditto.
OK, I've just posted on the other thread that I've set the date for June 5th as that seemed to pose no conflicts for anyone. (Unless I missed someone which is possible, sorry if I did.) I'll be emailing details to everyone by May 6th, so if you want to attend and you don't get an email by then, send me an email and I will forward you the details.
Gottagarden, I am really looking forward to the delphs! I still have no clue what I will be bringing this year. I probably won't know until I start digging Memorial day weekend. I was going to have some indoor sown stuff ready, but since I haven't even planted it yet, now I am not so sure about that. :( Oh well!
Lilylouise, I have a couple small rose of sharon (I think) and if not, you can certainly take a cutting from some of my larger ones. Just remind me in case I forget.
Looking forward to seeing you all!
I still have to sign up for this, But What I have to bring is:
Green Hosta (LOTS)
Lilly of the Valley (LOTS)
Lillies (Unknown color)
Iris (Unknown color)
White Phlox
Different ground covers, I dont know the names though
If someone knows how to propagate Japanese Maple, I have a tree I can prune.
Lambs ear (LOTS)
Red Curly willow tree (Rooted cuttings)
Green curly willow tree (Rooted cuttings)
Black pussy willow tree (Rooted cuttings)
Bleeding Heart
thats all I can think of for now.....
Oh, and lots of heirloom seeds
What I am looking for is:
Raspberry plants
Blackberry plants
Grape plants
Blueberry plants
This sounds so fun!!!
Hi All, I put together a list of what I can bring on My Page after the rose list. I think I remembered everything. If you want something in particular let me know. As I wrote before, I'm looking for a not so run of the mill Hosta for my husband. Also, I'm interested in anything that blooms July or later, but being the plant junkie I am, I'll take stuff that blooms earlier too : )
Well so far I'll have some Burpee tomatoes Big Mama and Fresh Salsa....lots of cosmos Sensations...some kiss me over the garden gate...poppies....penstemon husker red...brugmansia, if anyone is interested, a few passifloras, Burpee honey bear sunflowers, william guinness columbine...and whatever else sprouts
Hi everybody! been a long time since my last post, the twins keep me busy. Here is a small portion of my list:
Black mondo grass
Flame grass
zebra grass
creeping jenny 'aurea'
purple coneflower
goldsturm rudibeckia
and whatever else I can dig up between now and then. Cant wait last year was a blast, see y'all soon.
hey gardenwitch, I hope to get one of those red curley willow cuttings.
Hi -
I am exciting about attending the first time.
I'm planning on bringing
lamb's ear
red yarrow
blue forget me nots
shasta daisy
lily of the valley, white
yellow tansy
purple dutch iris (mini-iris)
Canna bulbs, red and orange
I do have unrooted plants -
oleander, white/pink wild roses, honeysuckle, night blooming jasmine, -- if anyone is interested in these, let me know and I'll bring some clippings.
I'm looking forward to meeting fellow gardeners!
I also have enough Rose of Sharon to outfit every house east of Syracuse. I plan on bringing some but would help me to know in a general way who or how many are interested so I know how many to bring. Some are a couple years old and three feet tall or so.
It looks like I have alot of babies in my garden. Unsure what exactly, but looks like I could put feverfew under all those Rose of Sharon bushes too.
I also have a good number of WILD collected (seeds) black eyed susans - or more likely what the guy at the Native Plants lecture called "Brown Eyed Susans" - look similiar but many smaller/branching blooms per plant. Hard to say as mama was in really dry shale soil which could have effected her. If anyone is interested in truly native/wild Black Eyed Susans let me know. (mom was also in land I know to not have been cultivated, nor near cultivated garden).
Updated list from above as a lot of stuff is still too small or just sprouting
...HARDY HIBISCUS Maybe if they start to really take off.
I may also have some perennial sweet william and rose campion and whatever else I can come up with as nothing seems to be growing too well this year except the stuff I wintersowed last year.
I would love some Rose of Sharon!
I may be able to bring a much bigger variety of stuuf too if I can get to my sisters house. She has a lot of great things that the person before her planted. I have been meaning to divide a lot of it up, so maybe this would get me going!
Hi--a list of what I have to bring--
pink lilly of the valley
Solomon's Seal
white phlox-(David)--late bloomer
Allium bulbs--pink, yellow,and blue
Daffodil bulbs
Hens and Chickens
Siberian Iris--(yellow)
and more.
If anyone has a request; let me know
I would like striped Iris if I can find it
Hi there,
I am going to be at the swap again, too! I'll be bringing some of the same sort of stuff as last year, but with a few new things added on.
Burning Bush
Butterfly Bush
See you Sunday!
OK, I am finally getting around to posting my plants. Geesh, with just a couple of days to spare.
I will have:
Mrs. Moon
Iris (several colors)
Bleeding hears (they aren't looking too good though so they may not make it)
One Eggplant
One Watermellon
Cosmos seedlings (seashells and the common variety)
Possibly a few other surprises
If you see something in my garden while you are here that you are interested in, let me know, and I may be able to get you a start.
See you all on Sunday!
Hi all,
Looking forward to seeing everyone! It's good to see that we have so many repeat traders from last year.
Remy, I've got you covered for that not so run of the mill hosta you're lookng for.
Gottagarden, I would love a few starts of some rhubarb...yum... Now, I just have to get June's great rhubarb crisp recipe...
June, I'd like some of your pink lily of the valley. The piece I got from you last year didn't take. I have monarda for you - what color are you looking for? I think I have pink, purple and red.
I'm not quite sure what all I'm bringing. I'm heading out now to pot some things up.
Can't wait to see you all.
For your not-run-of-the-mill hosta, any requests? (Not sure I'll see your response in time, but hey...) I've got Golden Tiara, which is gold on the edges, a few unnamed types that are large-leaved and blue-green, a small leafed bluish type that I think is Blue Cadet... but if I don't know if someone wants it I'm not splitting any of it. They're just kind of big right now. By next year I'd have Little Black Scape ready for dividing, but I don't know if it's there yet. Or you could really disappoint your husband with a teeny tiny hosta. I've got three teeny unnamed ones with leaves the size of my pinky fingernail, and Pandora's Box, which is even tinier (that whole plant is the size of my pinky fingernail!)
I don't know what everyone wants, so I'm just going to see what I can pry out of the hard-as-concrete ground. Wish me luck.
Ruth, isn't it Sunday? The message says June 5th, which is a Sunday.
Hi, Looking forward to Sunday. Mary, I was reading your trade list, wondered if you were going to bring any baptisia, I would love some. can't find any around here and I have heard its a great plant.
Hammerl, your hostas sound great, never have seen the tiny ones, hope you bring some!!!!
See you folks Sunday. Mulchy
Hi-Mary--and Mulchy-I hate it that I have this bad cold and ear infection; so won't be able to come.
I still have lots of pink Lily of the Valley. Mulchy;-If you dont find Baptisia; I have some. It makes a beautiful bush. I have also rhubarb-as well as the recipe.
I hate that I am going to miss this.
Oh no June, we sure are going to miss you. Maybe you'll make a super quick recovery and be feeling up to it by Sunday. Can I do anything for you in the meantime? You know I'm by your house at least once a day. Let me know.
Mulchy, I had already planned on bringing baptisia. I will be sure to set aside a nice one for you.
Here's some of what I'll be bringing:
Labradorica Viola
Intermediate Iris - Burgundy color
White Violets
Blue Eyed Grass
Solomon's Seal
Pink Sundrops
New Zealand Burr
Rosy Glow Sedum
Maybe more if I get some time to dig again.

Hitman: Contracts takes you into the mind of Agent 47, the most ruthlessly efficient contract killer in history. The game begins in Paris as Agent 47 finds himself wounded and trapped in what is a dangerous situation, even for him. Hitman: Contracts explores the dark psychology of killing for a living and promises to be the most disturbing episode in the series.
There are a couple of drawbacks: the game is a little shorter than might be expected, and it is more of an evolution from previous adventures than a independent sequel. But these are minor niggles, especially when you consider that this is the best game to date in the Hitman franchise. It's going to be interesting to see how creators Io Interactive develop the series, but for now they've given us a healthy dose of what's gone before, and made it a little better. --Simon Brew

Finally back in the United States!
See my blog at:http://oldmanmontgomery.wordpress.com/
It is a Clarke but ive concluded not to do anything to it except maybe get a extended 10 round clip mag.
If the poster wants it refinished and get more pride in ownership then I think he should do that. Really, as many people have said: gold, or even a low interest CD will get you better returns than using a gun as a Stradivarius type museum piece and hoping it will go up in value.
As far as aesthetics, some people like the old weathered, patina'd look. Others like it nicely finished. That's why there are gunsmiths who specialize in bluing, parkerizing, hard chroming,...
If you want it refinished then sending it back to Colt to have them do it is great idea but there are probably a lot of gunsmiths in your area who can also do a great rebluing job. I would see if a gunsmith could replicate Colt's deep blue polished finish. Comb the internet and look for images of the same Colt you have and study every angle for how it was originally finished. Then ask the gunsmith if they can duplicate it. Ask to see samples of their work. A good hot bluing job that's well oiled will not only look good but help protect the gun.
But I would definitely not paint it, nor duracoat it. However, it's your gun so (as a well known Youtube reviewer would say) your mileage may vary. If you do decide to "paint" it or duracoat it then be careful if you ever go strip the paint off. Do not chemically strip it because many solvents contain chloride which will eat and pit steel.
Thank you mister ballistic all that is very helpful but after all i think im just going to keep the nit & grit that the pistol has!

Microsoft is once again partnering with others to further fuel cell innovations, with the goal of developing a very efficient, low-cost fuel cell system. Microsoft, Redox Power Systems LLC, the University of Maryland and Trans-Tech Inc. were recently awarded $5 million by the Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) to develop transformational fuel cells.
Yesterday, the Corporate Eco Forum (CEF) awarded our colleague Tamara "TJ" DiCaprio with the 2014 C.K. Prahalad Award. The award, presented at the Corporate Eco Forum's fifth annual C.K. Prahalad Awards ceremony, recognized winners for demonstrating "globally significant private sector action that exemplifies the fundamental connection between sustainability, innovation and long-term business success in a globalizing world." The two other recipients of the award included Robert Carter, executive vice president of information services and chief information officer at FedEx, and The Global Water Challenge.
Earlier this week Microsoft, along with organizations like Goodwill Industries, Xerox and Sony America, were announced as founding members of R2 Leaders. R2 Leaders are organisations that encourage use of the R2 Standard and have demonstrated a commitment to the safe, sensible and sustainable repair and recycling of used electronics. This reflects Microsoft's commitment to support the development of standards for better reuse and recycling of electronic devices around the world. The R2 Standard for electronics disposal sets forth requirements relating to environmental, health, safety, and security aspects of electronics reuse and recycling. It also ensures that more toxic material streams are managed safely and responsibly by downstream vendors – all the way to final disposition. It also prohibits e-recyclers and their downstream vendors from exporting these more toxic materials to countries that have enacted laws making their import illegal. Worldwide, over 540 facilities in 17 countries are certified to the R2 Standard.
As a direct result of our internal carbon fee and Microsoft's commitment to carbon neutrality, our carbon offset strategy is not only reducing GHG emissions, but it is also helping us reach nearly 3 million people through projects which improve health, protect ecosystems and provide income and employment to local communities. As you saw here on the Microsoft Green Blog a few months ago, two of the projects we are contributing to in Madagascar and Indonesia are focused on ecosystem conservation and community development. Today we're taking you inside the home as we look at three projects which are using carbon finance to deliver health benefits while reducing GHG emissions through more efficient cookstoves and water filtration.
At Microsoft, we are continuously working to pursue the goal of transforming the energy supply chain toward radically greater efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Partnerships are one way to accomplish this, as shown through initiatives like the wind project in Texas and our new partnership with the University of Texas San Antonio's Sustainable Energy Research Institute (SERI).

Is a blogger a "journalist"?
On February 16, 2011 By Jordan Teague February 17, 2011
To foster a free and independent press, most states protect the confidentiality of a journalist's sources through "shield" laws. When these statutes were drafted decades ago, they had "journalists" of traditional media outlets in mind. But in the information age, is a blogger a "journalist"?
The New Jersey State Supreme Court recently heard arguments [...]Continue Reading →

Even if it's only flash backs, would you like to see these 3 play a part in the next film?
IMO I think they should be there, and even if it's just this one film, it's a great way to kick it all off again.
I kinda agree, if they do appear i hope its in a small dose, a nod to them, or passing of the baton in a ways,..
On a side note, I sincerely hope they dont revive the emperor for the villain, i would never be able to take him seriously after 'Something Something Darkside' Family Guy ^^, and there is a rich plethora of content ripe to pick from in the extended universe
Come to think of it, i kinda hope its Jedi-light too, there was too much emphasis on fancy-shmancy sword play and force heebyjeebies in the prequels for my tastes, star wars was always about the space for me

Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937, and quickly became known as The San Francisco landmark. For decades it has drawn in millions of tourists and has never failed to elicit their admiration and awe. The bridge spans 1.7 miles reaching hundreds of feet above water.
Being that it is one of this country's most famous landmarks, one must simply experience it in all its glory. There are quite a few ways you can experience the bridge: take a stroll across by foot, by bicycle, drive over it by car or bus, or cruise by boat under it. If you do decide to walk it or bike it, bundle up, it can get windy. When walking, start off at the aptly named Roundhouse located on the east side of the bridge. The historic Roundhouse was designed in 1938 as a restaurant for motorists passing by. Now it houses the Golden Gate Bridge gift center. Before you head back to the other side of the bridge, take a long stroll underneath the bridge through the 5-acre gardens.
During your San Francisco tour aboard San Francisco Comprehensive Tours we will take to this location stop, walk around and give you ample time to take pictures.

Webber targeting Le Mans glory as retirement looms
Nov 8, 2013, 5:00 PM EDT
Mark Webber is already setting his sights on his first victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans as he enters his final two weeks as a Formula One driver.
The thirty-seven year old Australian made his F1 debut in 2002 with Minardi, but his best days have come with Red Bull since 2009 where he has won nine races and three constructors' championships. However, Webber will retire at the end of the year in favor of joining Porsche's LMP1 programme that will see him compete in the World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and he is already setting his sights on winning the prestigious race.
"It's human nature to want more, obviously I want to win Le Mans, to put that with the Monaco – that would be nice," Webber explained on Australian TV.
"Whether one is enough there, maybe I want to grab a few. But of course you've got to get the first one done, which won't be easy. So that's the first goal, to win Le Mans, win that outright down the road. And then we'll go from there."
Webber is still looking to add one more grand prix victory to his collection in the final two races of the season, but with teammate Sebastian Vettel currently in the form of his life, he appears to face an uphill struggle. Nevertheless, his career has been an impressive one, and he explained in Abu Dhabi that he considers himself to be as good as many world champions.
However, with the all-conquering Audis dominating the race at Le Mans for over a decade now, Webber and Porsche may struggle to win the event at their first attempt in 2014.
- worknman24hours - Nov 9, 2013 at 10:23 PM
Mark actually IS a World Champion.
A Formula One Red Bull Team World Champion.
And he directly contributed on track to make that happen for the Red Bull team.
I hope Mark earns the LeMans trophy he wants to so much.
I have no doubt he'll fight 100% to make it happen for the team he drives with.
Great Luck, Mark.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Oyster hangover horrid ...and highly recommended
CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. -- The morning after a night in Charlottetown, my clothes smell like Guinness, my tongue feels like a strip of sandpaper and my head is pounding with the echoes of a Celtic cover band with a far-too-enthusiastic drummer.
Like many a tourist to the P.E.I capital, I've woken up with a colossal hangover -- a mind-blowing, vertigo-inducing, nausea-inspiring remnant of an exuberant night of overindulgence lubricated not only by alcohol but by the hospitality of the local populace.
This particular form of midsummer Maritime experience is hardly unusual. The bartenders and pubkeepers of Charlottetown like to keep their clients happy.
But the way I managed to aquire my humongous hangover was a little bit bizarre. Approximately 14 hours earlier, I had vowed to consume as many Prince Edward Island oysters as my stomach and wallet could tolerate in the space of a whirlwind tour of Canada's smallest province, which is famous around the world for the bivalves.
Living in Winnipeg, thousands of miles from an oyster-growing coastline, I had developed the wrong impression about Crassostrea virginica, the oyster found on the East Coast of North America, mistakenly believing it was less tasty and robust than Crassostrea gigas, the most common oyster grown in British Columbia and Washington state.
The problem was the ubiquity of the Malpeque oyster, a sort of brand name given to dozens of virginica varieties grown in and around P.E.I.'s sprawling Malpeque Bay. By the time Malpeques arrive in Manitoba, they've often lost something in the transportation, ironically because cold-water east-coast oysters can handle long shipping periods.
But when you actually visit P.E.I., you quickly find there is no such thing as a Malpeque oyster. Instead, you encounter oyster varieties named after the bay or farm where they're found or grown.
There are Colville Bays from southeast of Charlottetown, Raspberry Points on the north shore and roughly two dozen more P.E.I varieties, all branded imprecisely as Malpeques if they're shipped far away. They all have slightly different shapes and textures, owing to the differing salinity and temperatures of the places where they grow.
They can also be sweet, salty, mild or mineral-laden, depending on this same set of factors. And when you consume them at the source, they are quite simply amazing.
Along with my wife and an equally shellfish-obsessed friend from Philadelphia, I started my oyster-eating orgy at Flex Mussels, a somewhat trendy resto that began life in smaller Summerside, P.E.I. before moving to Charlottetown's waterfront.
We start with oyster-laden martinis and order a bowl of steamed mussels, P.E.I.'s other famous shellfish export. But we're really here for the raw oysters, three varieties of which were on offer on a plate with an array of sauces we barely touched because they overwhelm the delicate flavour of raw bivalves.
Surprisingly, Flex Mussels also places oysters in a light panko crust and just barely deep-fries them, coming up with a light alternative to the dreadful fried oyster often butchered elsewhere.
They also make decent cocktails, which sent us scrambling to venue No. 2: Claddagh Oyster House, a downtown Charlottetown institution with barstools and booths on the main-floor oyster bar and a gregariously rowdy pub up on the second floor.
Claddagh House, we were overjoyed to discover, had almost every variety of P.E.I. oyster on the market, cheerily shucked by a bartender whose youth belied her skill with an oyster knife.
We consumed enough creatures to gain free admission to the pub upstairs. Four hours and a few Celtic versions of R.E.M. songs later, we were intoxicated enough to forget how to find our way back to our slightly creepy bed-and-breakfast.
Suffering from horrid hangovers, we nonetheless continue our oyster tour, driving into the P.E.I. countryside along Route 6. Our destination is Stanley Bridge, the home of Carr's oysters, which are grown in shallow New London Bay and also sold in a restaurant up on the west bank of the bay.
At first, we fear our booze-abused stomachs can handle no more oysters. But hair of the dog and the sight of the shucker quickly change our minds.
We wind up with a plate full of Carr's, more mussels, steamed clams and a cold lobster. Lifted from their beds mere hours ago, the oysters were amazing -- I had never had the chance to consume the delicacies while gazing at the place where they were grown.
This is not a matter of being obsessed with terroir. It's a question of appreciating seafood that is grown in a manner that sustains its environment, the local economy and the species itself.
It also helps that these things taste amazing. The total damage in 18 hours: 120 oysters and a trio of nasty Visa bills to match the hangovers.
I'd do it all again in a second.
Prince Edward Island's best oyster bars:
Claddagh Oyster House: Old-school oyster house, with a Celtic pub upstairs. Many varieties of P.E.I. oysters. Located at 131 Sydney St. in downtown Charlottetown, (902) 892-9661, claddaghoysterhouse.com
Flex Mussels: Modern seafood resto with oyster shooters, a handful of raw P.E.I. varieties and superlative fried oysters. Inventive menu also features mussels steamed 16 different ways. Find it at 2 Lower Water St. on the Charlotteown waterfront, 902-569-0200, www.flexmussels.com. A second location recently opened in New York City.
Carr's Oyster Bar & Restaurant: Restaurant and patio adjacent oyster farm at Stanley Bridge in central Prince Edward Island. Located just north of route 6 on the west side of Stanley Bridge,(902) 886 3355, www.kata.pe.ca/shop/carrs/carrs.htm

Step-like structures oriented along 〈110〉 or 〈100〉 directions on {100} oriented Si substrates are first etched with mask following maskless etching in 30 wt. % KOH solution in water at 80°C. The step structures investigated by maskless etching are convex prismatic edges bounded by {100} and {111} planes for 〈110〉 oriented steps or only {100} planes for 〈100〉 oriented steps. Experimental results are used to verify the nature of {hkl} cutting planes that are developed at the convex corners of the steps during maskless anisotropic etching. From analytical relations and experimental results, the ratio between the etching rates for the {hkl} (fast-etching plane at the edge step) and {100} planes is found for both step orientations.
