advise on clearing vines
Hi Everyone, first time poster but I've been haunting the boards for a few months. My parents house has a portion of the yard (maybe 1/10 an acre, maybe slightly smaller) that has become overrun with vines. I'm in south Louisiana so they get to grow most of the year. I'm not sure what they are, but I'll try and upload some photos tomorrow when I have time. I know there's some Virginia Creeper, something with leaves that look like a Wild Potato Vine, but I've never seen flowers on it before, and a few others. I'm trying to figure out the best way to get rid of them as it seems like a constant battle just to keep them slightly at bay. Roundup seemed to do nothing, might as well been spraying water on them. I've recently taken to using an electric hedge trimmer and that does a lot of damage but does nothing to actually kill the vine which inevitably comes back. I'm in the city so I can't treat it like the Romans treated Carthage haha. Would Triclopyr work on these via spraying or does it need to be a Glyphosate based herbicide? I really want to buy a flamethrower, I'm getting that frustrated. Any advice y'all can provide me with would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
It sounds like gardener's hell, and it's not going to be an easy job. What you have to do is kill the root, not just the growth. That means you have to track back each vine (cutting as you go,obviously) and cut it off at the soil. Then you have a choice - dig up the root if it's small, or hit the stump with undiluted Round-Up concentrate.
Whether you dig or use RU, you're going to have to keep a weather eye on the whole area for a couple of seasons, as some vines grow from an underground (brain fart - can't remember the exact term) root mass - bindweed and passionflower are two that grow like this; non-vines are Canada thistle and mugwort.
Ken Adrian, who often posts in the Shrubs and Trees forums, has great instructions for using Round-up for jobs like this; I'll track that down and post a link under this.
A picture would really help with more advice, as you may have some vines that are easier to get rid of than others.
Here's a discussion from the Trees forum in which Ken, who is a very funny man, gives his Round-Up instructions; it's in Ken's post from 6/21 and is about half-way down the page.
I hope this helps. As I said before, it sounds like a big job and I wish you lots of patience and all success with it.
Here is a link that might be useful: Look for Ken's 6/21 post
Ok so here are some pics to take a look at. The first one shows the overall general state of the area I'm clearing. I know there are a few small mulberry's under the vines and a few other small trash trees. Obviously digging up each vine doesn't seem to be much of a possibility, it would probably take me a year of steady work to go that route.
Wow. You are a good person to take that on for your parents.
I still think that you've got to cut it down and get at the roots, but jeez. If I were facing that, I would pick an edge, mow or weedeat that stuff down a couple of feet across the whole side, then dig or Round-Up the "stumps", then repeat. And repeat. And repeat. Maybe immediately mulch what I've cleared,to try to minimize seeds sprouting as I finish.
I can sure understand your wish for a flame-thrower.
I don't recognize either of the vines; if you don't get IDs here in a day or so, try posting this in the Name That Plant forum, and you'll get IDs and advice pretty quickly.

Talk to me, I'm curious about what traditions you have in your family. Do you have any? What kind are they? Are these 'new' traditions or something passed down through your family?
You see, having such a young family (a 4yo & a 1yo), we have this chance to start our own family traditions but geesh, you think that coming up with such wonderful things would be easy but nope! This is where I'd like your opinions, feedback & suggestions on what you do & if you could, would you change it?

Francis Mallmann's Potato Dominoes
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This technique makes starchy Russet potatoes act like creamy Yukon Golds, and also makes some of the crispiest edges we've ever tasted. It's a little like Jeffrey Steingarten's famous single-layer potato gratin, pared down to three ingredients. Recipe adapted very slightly from Seven Fires: Grilling the Argentine Way (Workman Publishing, 2009). - Genius Recipes
Serves 2 to 4
For the clarified butter
- 4 ounces unsalted butter (1 stick)
For the potato dominoes:
- 4 Idaho potatoes
- 4 tablespoons chilled clarified butter
- Coarse salt
- For the clarified butter:
- Slowly melt butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium-low heat; do not stir.
- Remove from the heat, and carefully spoon off any foam from the top.
- Pour the clear liquid butter through a fine-mesh strainer, leaving behind the solids in the pan.
- Once cool, the clarified butter can be refrigerated for weeks.
- For the potato dominoes:
- Heat a home oven (with the rack positioned in the center of the oven) to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a Silpat or use a nonstick baking sheet.
- Cut off the two ends of one potato and reserve them. Trim the 4 sides of the potato to form an even brick. Slice the potato about 1/8 inch thick on a mandoline, keeping the slices in order if you can (just like a line of shingled dominoes).
- Hold the stack of potato slices in the palm of one hand and use the other to shape them back into a brick -- as you would a deck of cards. Lay the stack on its side on the baking sheet, and put the reserved potato ends, cut side down, at either end to keep the stack aligned.
- Then, with the palm of your hand, angle the slices slightly to resemble a line of dominoes that has tilted over. Adjust the end pieces to keep the stack in shape, and align the slices if necessary. Dot the top and sides with 1 tablespoon of the clarified butter.
- Sprinkle with salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, keeping the stacks at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are browned on the edges and tender in the middle when tested with a skewer. Serve immediately.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Order of evalutation and multiple servers Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Very nice but, as others have mentioned, needs one or two features more.
One feature that could be added presumably without much effort would be to either add an 'order of evaluation' feature within the list of severs (first in the list is evaluated first, and user should of course be able to rearrange their order), or as an alternative (and maybe better and easier yet to implement) to use a specificity evaluation criterium (if two servers only differ because of the associated directory and one is a in a subfolder of the other, it is the more specific one that is offered for the switch).
The other feature has already been mentioned by other reviewers: multiple alternatives are also necessary (test, training, acceptance environments), but of course it would make the interface a bit more complicated, so for the time being, I'll stick to my bookmarklets (and associated keywords): easy to write, flexible and lightweight.

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates individuals about disaster preparedness and trains and organizes teams of volunteers that can support their communities during disasters. The CERT Program offers training in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, and disaster medical operations. With proper CERT training, you can help protect your family, neighbors, and co-workers if a disaster occurs.
"Introduction to Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT)," IS-317, is an independent study course that serves as an introduction to CERT for those interested in completing the basic CERT training or as a refresher for current team members. The course includes six modules: CERT Basics, Fire Safety, Hazardous Material and Terrorist Incidents, Disaster Medical Operations, and Search and Rescue, and Course Summary.
While IS-317 is useful as a primer or refresher for CERT training, it is not equivalent to, and cannot be used in place of, the classroom delivery of the CERT Basic Training. To become a CERT volunteer, one must complete the classroom training offered by a local government agency such as the emergency management agency, fire or police department. Contact your local emergency manager to learn about the local education and training opportunities available to you. Let this person know about your interest in taking CERT training.
After completing this course, CERT Independent Study (IS)-317, you should be able to:

A Truly wonderful film that left you thinking and feeling for hours after
walking out of the cinema.
Michelle Pfeiffer is exact in her portrayal of the smart, rich, no-nonsense lawyer who realises how empty her luxurious and successful life is. As always she delivers an outstanding performance and reminds us of just how excellent and beautiful an actress she is.
Sean Penn is so believable that you forget that he doesn't actually have anything wrong with him...he captures every emotion perfectly and instills all of that emotion in the audience. Penn is highly under rated in the world that is movies, as he shows with this Oscar potential performance.
The young actress who plays his daughter is amazingly mature in her acting, whilst always managing to capture the innocence of her youthfullness. On top of all that she is gorgeous. The combination of three excellent main actors combined with the supporting actors and the genuine theme and style of the film makes I am Sam an excellent and must see film. Truly Inspiring.
There's only one reason why I don't like this movie right now. Because I
have a splitting headache from being emotionally drained!
IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE has been the top of my list for all time favorite movies, now I AM SAM has moved in right next to it.
I'm not saying that you have to have kids to understand the true meaning behind this movie, but I must say it certainly helps. I told my wife on the way back home from the movie that she was sooo stuck with me. She knew what I was referring to; our 6 month old little girl and our 5 year old little girl. I guess I'm just a good ole fashion softy. I came home and gave my 5 year old the biggest hug of her life and the tears just started flowing. I felt I had been impatient with her lately and just needed to let her know how much her daddy loves her.
I know this isn't a true rating of a movie. I'm not describing certain scenes that I thought were great or needed improving, I just wanted to express how it made me feel. And though I have a pounding head right now, I feel like I'm the luckiest dad in the world!
I know that title isn't very descriptive, but all I could say for
awhile after watching I Am Sam was, "Wow!" Although that's a positive
endorsement of the film--it's rare that a film has me basically
speechless afterward (I usually suffer from logorrhea, which sounds
close enough to diarrhea that you could call it (verbal) flatulence
instead if you like)--it turned out to be quite a problem, because we
went to dinner right afterward and I had to give a lecture. I believe I
was served some kind of raw beef, and I have an exorbitant dry cleaning
bill from the tomatoes and rotten eggs.
But I won't bill director/co-writer Jessie Nelson, because it's not her fault that her film is so powerful and so stunningly constructed that it made me monosyllabic. I can only blame myself for putting off watching her work for so long.
I Am Sam begins with Sam Dawson (Sean Penn) at his job. He lives in Santa Monica and works at Starbucks. We can see that he's mentally retarded. He appears slightly autistic. Because of this, he's given only menial tasks to do. Suddenly, his boss tells him that he has to go. We see Sam running through the streets, catching buses and so on to end up at a hospital. A woman is in labor and it turns out that he's the father, but she wants nothing to do with him afterward--apparently, it was something like a one night stand. She abandons him with the baby. Aided by a quartet of developmentally disabled friends and his agoraphobic neighbor, Annie Cassell (Dianne Wiest), we see Sam doing his best to raise the girl, Lucy Diamond Dawson (eventually played by Dakota Fanning)--so named because Sam is a big Beatles fan. At least until he is "accidentally arrested". Government officials question his ability to raise his daughter, and I Am Sam becomes the tale of Sam's legal battle to retain custody of Lucy, aided by high profile lawyer Rita Harrison (Michelle Pfeiffer).
I Am Sam will likely make you say, "Wow!" afterward because it is a masterpiece on every artistic and technical level.
All of the major cast members give one of the best performances of their careers, and many of these actors have had a number of artistic triumphs on their résumés. Sean Penn is completely natural and believable as a developmentally disabled man. Two of the men playing his friends really were developmentally disabled, having been found at L.A. Goal, a non-profit agency dedicated to helping such people through a variety of programs, and it's next to impossible to tell them apart from the other actors. Nelson and her co-writer, Kristine Johnson, spent a lot of time at L.A. Goal doing research, as did Penn. Pfeiffer perfectly executes a complex character who has to undergo a number of far reaching transformations and even a breakdown of sorts. As for Fanning, I haven't seen her in a film yet where she didn't threaten to steal the whole thing from her senior, much more experienced colleagues, and during the filming of I Am Sam she was only 6 or 7. Wiest, Richard Schiff, Laura Dern and others also turn in very complex performances that convey characters with deep, multifaceted histories, despite their relatively little screen time.
Nelson approaches the film with a number of unusual artistic and technical angles that all work wonderfully. The cinematography is mostly hand-held work. Unlike similar attempts in films such as Lars Von Trier's Dogville (2003), the hand-held work never feels affected or intrusive here--it's completely "organic". The most common purpose of the unusual cinematography is to give the viewer almost a subjective sense of what it's like to be Sam, to experience the world in the way he does. Cinematographer Elliot Davis moves his camera in a way closely mirrored with Sean Penn's movements. There's an additional emotional symbolism. When Sam is feeling agitated, the camera-work is agitated. Likewise when Sam is confused, pensive, and so on. Davis shoots from a lot of unusual angles. All of them work.
Nelson also has the editing, lighting and production design match the aesthetic of the cinematography. The editing is sometimes very choppy, but always feels "natural", just right for conveying Sam's experience. Sometimes there are odd incongruencies between sound and image, or between temporal sequences. The lighting, camera angles and production design often make some elements appropriately fantastical. The production design and costuming match not only Sam's world, but other characters' worlds, as well. Not one aspect of the film seems to have gone by without close examination and artistic justification.
The music, which largely consists of Beatles tunes performed by other artists, fits the film perfectly. Sam and his friends are all a bit obsessed with the Beatles (and apparently, so were many L.A. Goal members when Nelson visited). The Beatles tunes exquisitely match the various moods of the film, and the lyrics often complement emotions and actions.
But even above all of that, I Am Sam tells a heart-wrenching story that's something of an exciting, emotional roller-coaster. There are many humorous scenes, often centered on Sam and his buddies going about the world with a kind of Winnie the Pooh-like wisdom that seems more honest and admirable than most of the film's "normal" folks. Of course, there are also many scenes that will require tissues for tears. And there's just about every emotion in between the two.
Finally, the film has a great message. Does parenting, or general personal worth, really hinge on intellectual ability and amassed knowledge? I don't think so. Parents who are very smart can have more than their share of flaws, as we see with Pfeiffer's character early on. Plenty of us had parents who were smart enough but couldn't help us with our geometry homework. Love may not be all you need, but it's definitely one of the major prerequisites.
I Am Sam is a great movie that deals with marginalized people in our
and how they're treated. It's a very realistic portrayal. I watched it
my 13 year old daughter and it alternately made us cry, got us angry and
caused us to laugh uncontrollably.
Sam is loved and respected by those who know him (Starbuck's patrons, IHOP Waitress, friends), taunted by those who have no regard for anyone different (Lucy's arrogant classmate and his equally arrogant father) and generally misunderstood by everyone else.
I especially liked the irony of the lawyer, who is an emotional train wreck, yet because she's an adult intellecutally, no one questions her ability as a parent. Sam on the other hand loves his daughter and it shows.
This movie is not for anyone looking for a "fun weekend rent". If you rent this, be prepared to have your values and your emotions challenged.
I Am Sam is one of, if not the best, motion picture of all time.
I Am Sam is about a retarded man named Sam (Sean Penn) who has a mental capacity of a 7-year old. He works as a server at Starbucks, is obsessed with The Beatles, and loves IHOP. After he accidentally has a daughter (Dakota Fanning) with a homeless woman who he names after the song Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. The woman leaves him, and Sam is left to care for Lucy by himself. However, when Lucy intentionally begins to hold back in school to prevent becoming smarter from her father, child protective services takes her away and Sam must fight to obtain custody. He befriends a lawyer, Rita (Michelle Pfeiffer) with a bad marriage and a son who she thinks hates her. Together, Sam and Rita fight for Lucy's custody in a heartwrenching roller coaster of tears, laughs, and the overwhelming power of human spirit.
This is all beside some of the most stunning performances I've ever seen in a film. Sean Penn is top of his game and gives an amazingly realistic performance as a disabled man without a single flaw. To this day it makes me furious he didn't win the Oscar. Dakota Fanning's premiere role is by far her greatest ever, and at only six years old opened the eyes of actresses who've been in the business for years and basically screamed into their faces "This is how acting is done." And Michelle Pfeiffer delivers a phenomenal, incredibly realistic performance that will absolutely take your breath away.
As the film progresses, you will find yourself laughing one minute, crying the next (you WILL cry no matter how mature or old you are, so make sure you have tissues), the next moment tapping your foot along to the familiar Beatles tunes found throughout the movie (even though they're covers) and the next moment simply staring at the screen not believing your eyes and ears at how emotionally powerful a film can be.
And after watching, you won't want to ever give the DVD back to Blockbuster. If you don't at least give this movie a chance, you will truly be missing out on one of the shiniest gems of modern cinema ever.
I haven't been a fan of Sean Penn's since Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Since that time, nearly all his films have left me flat. In fact, I nearly didn't watch this film since he was in it. What a loss it would have been if I'd missed it! I won't go into the story line since that's been reviewed a lot by others. The story is sort of a cliché'd one and has been done before, though not as well. The story isn't this film's strength anyway - it's the acting. Rarely have I seen a film with this much powerful acting. Penn's performance as Sam is brilliant! He must have studied autistic/mentally challenged people to pull this performance off. I also want to mention how good Michele Pfeiffer was in this. Her character starts out as a hard-hearted witch and ends up being very human, thanks to her exposure to Sam. The change in her is gradual, subtle and fun to watch. Sams friends, very well played by Brad Silverman, Joseph Rosenberg, Stanley DeSantis and Doug Hutchinson are very important support characters. Laura Dern gives a stellar performance as Randy. Dakota Fanning as Lucy very nearly steals the show. This little actress has quite a career ahead of her, I hope! This film is delicately balanced, and has a good bit of humor interspersed with parts that will have even the most insensitive of you reaching for a tissue. The film has a sort of a sappy (and somewhat surprising) outcome, but by this time any other ending would have been pretty much unacceptable to most people. This movie blew me away and I gave it a 9.
Sean Penn as a devoted father (Sam) who despite mental challenges,
fights for the right to raise his child is convincing in a complete
departure from his usual "bad guy" characters. Michelle Pfeiffer plays
his reluctant "pro bono" elite lawyer, who eventually puts 110% into
this case.
The love between Sam and his 7 year old daughter is evident in many sweet scenes (got Kleenex?), best described by a reclusive neighbor (wonderfully played by Dianne Wiest), who overcomes her hermit-like condition long enough to testify in Sam's behalf. Even the social workers who insisted on doing everything to "help the child" appear to be fighting emotions over this unusual case. The "support system", which includes several equally challenged "buddies", a very supportive employer, and many other people in the community gives evidence of our changing society, fostering inclusion and tolerance. Eventually even the prospective adoptive parents of Sam's daughter can't go on fighting against this exemplary father.
The girl playing Sam's daughter appears to be "gifted", at age 7 reading middle school material. Perhaps the "difference" between father & daughter's intelligence did not have to be in such an obvious extreme. The implication of a romantic involvement between Sam and his lawyer could have been avoided as well. The former is stretching it, but the latter is going too far. One can suspend her/his disbelief only so much! Since there are no "perfect" movies, I still consider this one pretty darn close! Highly recommended.
In 'Rain Man', Dustin Hoffman gave the best portrayal I have ever seen
of a mentally disturbed person, but Sean Penn came very close here. He
was quite convincing but somewhat funnier. With Hoffman, I never quite
knew when he was supposed to be funny, but with Penn there were many
funny moments that I felt okay about laughing at. And I just had to
like the character.
I've heard so many good things about Dakota Fanning, and now I see for myself. She's great.
The actors playing Sam's friends also seemed very convincing, one in particular. I didn't catch his name, but he wore glasses and I think he must have really been mentally disabled. The others could have been but might just have been acting.
MIchelle Pfeiffer was very good also, and gorgeous. And Richard Schiff was likable as the lawyer on the other side of Sam's case. In fact, I didn't see those who were against Sam as evil. They just had Lucy's best interests in mind. But I wanted Sam to win.
While it is true this may have been done before, I think this movie offered unique twists and qualities other movies didn't have, and the performances were very good.
I have to confess off the top that I am not and never have been a particular
fan of Sean Penn. I have no specific criticism to make of him; as an actor
he simply doesn't appeal to me. Because of that bias I approached this movie
with low expectations. The story of a mentally handicapped man fighting for
custody of his seven year old daughter sounded intriguing, but it starred
Penn. But what a pleasant surprise this movie turned out to
Penn is actually very good in this role. He brings a realism to the character of Sam Dawson, and portrays him sensitively and with real emotion. In fact, I thought the only performance that was better than Penn's came not from Michelle Pfeiffer (who disappointed me a bit, actually) but rather from little Dakota Fanning as Sam's daughter Lucy. She seemed so natural in this role, and I would hope that we see more of her in the years to come. Pfeiffer, on the other hand, (as Sam's lawyer Rita Harrison) just didn't carry the role off that well, and even the courtroom scenes to me lacked the tension one would have expected from such an emotionally-laden issue.
The movie weakens in the last little bit, going for the sappy (and highly unrealistic) ending - unrealistic particularly in the way Lucy's foster mother (Laura Dern) ends up handling the situation.
Having said that, I still enjoyed this movie very much. It's raised my assessment of Sean Penn's acting abilities and I would recommend it to others and would watch it again.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
When I saw in television announcing about the story of ''I Am Sam'', I
didn't think twice and got the DVD of this movie to watch. First of
all, Sean Penn's performance is awesome! He really look a mentally
challenged person in all his acts and ways to move and talk! Michelle
Pfeiffer also has a great performance and is very beautiful in this
movie as Sam's lawyer Rita Harrison.
Sam Dawson is a mentally retarded man, who has the same capacity of a 7 year-old child..He works at a Starbucks, loves the Beatles( his favorite band) and one day has a normal daughter with a homeless woman, who abandons him and her daughter when she has the chance. Sam takes care of his daughter, who he gives the name Lucy Diamond, with the help of his friends, specially Annie.( a piano teacher who is his neighbour) But time is passing, and when Lucy reaches 7 years old she understands her father is not *normal* and intentionally tries not to be smarter than him,what makes her have problems in school. The Social service takes her away to another family, and Sam needs the help of a lawyer to win the case. That's where Rita Harrison enters, and she will not only help Sam, but learn great values with him.

Community Service Standout Chappaqua teen Lily Wolfensohn donated the $4,000 she received from her Bat Mitzvah to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Westchester. The donation will go toward the organization's new Kisco Kids Café, scheduled to open this spring. The Café will provide hot meals, healthy snacks, and nutrition classes for its members, since many of them come from low income families. When Lily found out the Boys & Girls Club was developing this program, she knew she wanted to help. "I feel really good knowing that I have made a change in a child's life, even if they don't know it yet," said Lily. This kind of community service is nothing new for Lily. She has donated her hair to Locks of Love twice, sung and made pillows, stars, teddy bears, and magnets for the sick children at the Maria Fareri Children's Hospital, sent letters to soldiers in Iraq, and donated Gift of Caring cookies to Chappaqua bus drivers and veterans. For more information on the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Westchester, call 914-666-8069 or visit www.bgcnw.com.No More Plastic! The 20 members of Irvington Middle School's Pay It Forward Club encouraged students, teachers, parents and administrators throughout the Irvington district to collect every kind of recyclable plastic bag they could find, including grocery, produce, dry cleaning film, bread and newspaper bags. This resulted in over 32,000 plastic bags collected, more than any other Westchester school, and included the one millionth bag collected countrywide. The efforts of students were acknowledged at a special school-wide assembly at Irvington Middle School on January 8, where County Executive Andy Spano accepted the millionth bag. Earlier last year Spano launched a countywide effort to raise awareness about plastic bag accumulation, declaring it had reached "mammoth proportions." He proposed a county law that now requires large retailers to establish in-store collection and recycling centers. (A similar law was enacted by New York State, taking effect January 1, superseding the county's.) The event coincided with a visit by Westchester County's Veggie Van, a mobile education classroom that promotes good environmental practices and runs on vegetable oil.

I raced those boats a lot in college. If you flipped the boat it didn't get a lot if water in it unless you tried to ride it in on the mast. When you flip it back up a lot of water would come out leaving only a couple inches in the boat.
We set them up for quick bailing by drilling a hole in the back slightly smaller than a tennis ball. We then took a tennis ball and attached a bungy cord through it and tied it to the hiking straps so it just stayed in the hole. When the boat is full of water and you are up to speed you can pull the tennis ball to make it stick open and drain the boat. Not that complicated. With that and a gallon OJ container with the bottom cut off you can bail a boat quick. This method doesn't work so well if you don't keep the plugs in the built in flotation and they fill up with water.

To the Editor:—
The term "retrograde injection," when it is used with reference to varicose veins, is ambiguous. The ambiguity arises from the fact that the flow of blood in varicose veins is reversed (Trendelenburg positive). Consequently a type of injection which, if made into a normal vein, would be properly designated "retrograde" (against the normal direction of flow) could not be so designated if the injection should be made into a varicose vein in which the flow was reversed. However, I doubt if authors or readers generally will keep in mind the suggested distinctions and, for clearness, I believe it will be necessary for authors who use the word "retrograde" in writing of varicose veins to explain their use of it.

Just wondering, I have little to no electrical experience, and i bought a non-wired ranco to save me 20-30 bucks or whatever it is...i have no idea why people would ever buy those already wired, it is so simple...
So yeah, if you are looking to buy one, save your money, it costs under 10 to DIY and it's uber easy
Simple economics...
If I were selling peanut butter, jelly, and bread, but I could get a 25% markup for spending the 60 seconds to put them all together, you'd better believe I'd be making some sammiches!
I need to buy a 2nd Ranco. I traded two sixers to an electrician friend to wire up the last one. Anybody gonna put up a detailed how-to one of these days?
[I'm back!]
Oh, I know why they make them, to con the people who don't understand how easy it is...
I used this, very easy and straightforward, if you have ever stripped a wire and tightened a screw then you are capable of doing this... All it cost me an cheap extension cord (6 bucks) and a cheap romex thingy...Wiring a Ranco Temperature Controller - BrewBoard
So easy a caveman can do it
Ok, a con is a little extreme, but honestly, a 25% mark up (from 60 to 75 on the ranco etc store), is a little much for what you are getting...
I guess the main point of this thread is don't be afraid of wiring your own ranco, i have very little electrical experience and it took me 10-15 min and it works perfectly
Some of the time I'm using the Ranco to control the reefer, sometimes a heater inside the reefer. A pre-wired unit is much easier to switch between the two. I also use the same controller in cold weather to control lager temperatures in an insulated box in the garage. Good power cords aren't free, so the savings isn't all that large.
For my kegger, I wired a second Ranco into a power bar. Both the freezer and some circulation fans are plugged into the bar. The bar has a switch, so I can work on the kegger without the power cutting in or having to unplug the controller.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Ok, I wired my own and did not burn the house down yet. Any fool can do it. See
"I don't drink to find happiness. Coincidentally. I do enjoy listening to you much more after a beer or three."

Butler Did It: A Successful Execution of a New Design
The Benjamin Franklin Butler Middle School of Technology in Lowell, Massachusetts, which opened in 1992.
The new Benjamin Franklin Butler Middle School of Technology in Lowell, Massachusetts, replaced a facility built in 1882. "It was a brick building like one you'd visualize in a scene created by Charles Dickens," says Principal Harry Kouloheras. "The new facility has moved us from the nineteenth century into the twenty-first century."
A group of teachers, parents, administrators, university professors, community members, and architects collaborated to design this inner-city school which serves 560 students. The group wanted the building's design to support their vision of teaching and learning.
They embraced ideas such as: all students can learn; they learn best when they work together in mixed groups; students can learn more by initiating, designing, and producing than by just sitting and listening; and teachers are managers of information rather than disseminators of facts.
The finished facility, opened in 1992, features a video and data network that carries resources to every classroom.
"I taught at the old school for twenty-seven years," says life science teacher Bill Gianoulis. "Students could only get information from my lectures and demonstrations or the textbook. Moving to the new school was like I'd died and gone to heaven."

Six months after two Panamanian fishermen died at sea, an American cruise line says it has new information that contradicts claims that one of its ships ignored the drifting fishing boat's distress signals.
Princess Cruises said in a statement Thursday that it compared a video of the fishermen's boat when it was found off Ecuador with a photograph of the boat taken by birdwatchers aboard the Star Princess off Panama last March and concluded they were not the same.
The video, taken by someone on the fishing boat that rescued survivor Adrian Vasquez, clearly shows the name "Fifty Cent" painted in big red letters on the bow, while the photo of the boat taken from the deck of the Star Princess does not.
The birdwatchers notified the ship's crew that men on the small boat were signaling and appeared to be in trouble, but the ship never changed course to help them. Princess, based in Santa Clarita, Calif., has said that word never reached the captain, and the crew on the bridge saw no signs of distress.
Vasquez and the families of the two fishermen who died are suing the cruise line.
The 18-year-old Vazquez and his companions, Fernando Osorio, 16, and Elvis Oropeza, 31, set off for a night of fishing on Feb. 24 from Rio Hato, a small fishing and farming town on the Pacific coast of Panama that was once the site of a U.S. Army base guarding the Panama Canal. Their motor broke down on the way back and the men drifted at sea for weeks. Osorio and Oropeza died. Vazquez was rescued by a fishing boat March 22 near Ecuador's Galapagos Islands, more than 600 miles from where they had set out.
Vasquez' attorney, attorney Edna Ramos, said they have proof the boat seen by the birdwatchers was the same boat, including the fact that the ship passengers described a blue sailcloth or tarp aboard the vessel, of the same kind his boat had.
"You can see photos in which the same characteristics are seen ... you can see the blue tarp, which had fallen down by the time of the rescue, and the poles that held it up," she said.
