Put it up in garage by overhead door power point. Works well
Batavia, IL
Item was a gift from my son. I used it frequently but only for short periods of time each time. Recently, I plugged in a small ceramic disk heater rated at 1500 watts. This reel is rated for more than that. However, after an hour or running ONLY the heater, I saw smoke coming from the reel. I turned off the heater and extended the cord the remaining 20 ft. The insulation was melted and bare wires were exposed. This should have a built in circuit breaker and should NOT have melted for the purpose that I was using it for.

I have bought 2 of these they work great
Northampton, PA
I have this reel for a year or so. I use it for a few minutes every other week tops. The retractor was a problem from the start, not wanting to stay where needed. It was handy, hung from my garage ceiling so I overlooked that. Last friday I was using my craftsman air compressor plugged in to the cord reel for maybe half an hour. It was not even fully extended or under too much strain I thought . I plugged in a tiny heater as well and did not run the compressor since the air needed was built up. The cord reel began to smoke and I had to quickly unplug it.Because I have it over a year that is that. No replacement parts available either. Salesman at Whitehall Pa store did not have good knowlege of product. For as little as it is used, I am disapointed with it. It is poorly made dangerous Chinese junk. DO NOT BUY and save the $45. I have many sears/craftsman tools and appliances in my home but the latest ones seem to be failures. I hoped that this company does not follow suit with B+D when they sullied their good name.

Do not buy. Poorly made. Contacts inside break and jump from one copper ring to the other creating a short circuit. I've had it for a few years and used intermittently. Last week I smelled an electrical odor when I was using this reel and cord. I looked up and saw smoke. I was able to hit the breaker and shut the power of and disassembled it and found where the contacts had shorted across the copper rings. Contacted Sears and got no where. I am contacting the Consumer Protection Agency to see if this model can't be recalled.;

In the months leading up to the death of Wilson and his wife, Doris Wilson, in their Saks home on Asbury Avenue on Sunday, Wilson had apparently told several people he was going to hurt somebody if he didn't get help, and fast.
"He went to Regional Medical Center three times and told them he was sick," Knoll said about her brother's condition. "He said he heard voices and that he felt like he was going to kill someone."
Anniston police have been able to say little about what took place at Wilson's home on Sunday, but said Doris Wilson, 50, was stabbed to death, while her husband's cause of death so far is unknown. A neighbor at the scene Sunday said he called 911 after a man he believed to be the boyfriend of Darren Wilson's daughter told him someone had been stabbed inside the house.
Knoll said when she learned there was a police standoff outside the home, she knew her brother wasn't going to come out alive.
And sadly, Knoll said, those closest to Wilson probably saw it coming.
Knoll said her family has an alarming history of mental illness and described her father as a schizophrenic who spent most of his life in and out of mental health facilities. She said she had one brother who committed suicide and another serving an 18-year jail sentence for assault, and it looked like those problems might finally have been catching up with Darren Wilson over the last year.
"He was paranoid," Knoll said, explaining that her brother believed the FBI was after him, and that his neighbors were spying on him. "He would hear voices and say there were men in black suits watching him, that sort of thing. He said he needed help."
He sought help, Knoll said, explaining that Wilson went to Regional Medical Center on more than one occasion to say he thought he might hurt himself or someone else. Knoll said he was referred to the county's mental health board and was told that without insurance and with a shortage of beds, there wasn't anything they could do for him.
Mickey Turner, executive director of the Calhoun-Cleburne Mental Health Board, said Thursday that even though he wasn't familiar with Wilson's case he would be unable to comment on it because of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, a federal law that, in part, protects information about health care.
Walking into a local hospital and asking for help isn't the best option for someone who might be mentally ill, said Jim Reddoch, the commissioner for the Alabama Department of Mental Health. While emergency rooms can deal with immediately dangerous situations, those seeking evaluation or long-term treatment are better served by mental health officers and facilities who can work with the uninsured on getting help.
"There are options out there," Reddoch said. "Going to the hospital just isn't the way to do it."
Jon Garlick, mental health officer for the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office, said 67 percent of people suffering from mental illness don't seek treatment due to lack of family support or embarrassment. Often situations only come to light when problems have gotten too far out of hand to be ignored. That's why it is important family members alert officials as quickly as possible, so a potentially mentally ill person is in the system and evaluated properly, he said.
Garlick said he couldn't comment on the situation Sunday or on whether other officials handled Wilson's case properly, but to the best of his knowledge, the Saks man wasn't on his radar.
"I wish I had known more about these people," Garlick said. "I would like to know what we could have done for them, but it never came across my desk."
But for Knoll, the issue is simple. If somebody needs help, and is asking for it, then there shouldn't be any gray area in treating them, she said.
"There's a woman whose parents lost their child," Knoll said. "There's a daughter who lost her parents, and there's my mother who lost another son, and she lost him knowing he was the murderer of an innocent woman. This tragedy could have been prevented if someone would have just listened to him at the hospital."

Rubio clarifies age of the earth answer
By Ashley Killough, CNN
(CNN)– Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida attempted to clear up Wednesday his controversial answer to a question about the earth's age last month.
"Science says (the earth) is about 4.5 billion years old. My faith teaches that's not inconsistent," Rubio said at a Politico Playbook Breakfast in Washington. "God created the heavens and the earth, and science has given us insight into when he did it and how he did it."
"The more science learns," he continued, "the more I am convinced that God is real."
Sen. Marco Rubio's religious journey: Catholic to Mormon to Catholic to Baptist and Catholic
Rubio was asked how old the planet was in an interview with GQ magazine published November 19. The senator, who's considered to be weighing a 2016 presidential bid, replied saying the Earth's age is "one of the great mysteries."
Emphasizing he "was not a scientist," Rubio said "whether the Earth was created in seven days, or seven actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that."FULL STORY

Demand has outstripped the supply of homes for sale in the Portland area in recent months, say real estate agents, sparking bidding wars and making it difficult for families to find homes they want.
Matthew Kennedy stands in front of his newly purchased home on Beckett Street in Portland on Wednesday, May 22, 2013. Maine's residential real-estate market is heating up.
John Patriquin / Staff Photographer
The increased demand is driving up prices in Cumberland County, where the median sale price for an existing, single-family home jumped more than 6.2 percent in the three months from February through April over the same period a year ago, from $215,500 to $228,950, according to data released Wednesday by the Maine Association of Realtors.
Countywide home sales are reported in rolling, three-month segments. The median is the price at which an equal number of homes sold for less and for more. It is considered a better indicator than the average home price, because an average can be skewed by a handful of extremely high-priced or low-priced sales.
Matthew Kennedy and Lori Tarham, who moved from Tallahassee, Fla., to Portland in January 2012, took a year to find their current home on Munjoy Hill, Kennedy said.
They rented a home when they arrived in Portland, and finally closed on the purchase of their house in January of this year, after previous offers on the property fell through, he said.
"I have a strange feeling that we might have come in just at the right time," said Kennedy, 49, managing director of the Tallahassee-based consulting firm ERS Group.
Factors in the imbalance between supply and demand include growing consumer confidence and a significant decrease in "distress sales," including foreclosures and short sales, agents said. In a short sale, the seller's mortgage lender agrees to forgive part of the debt because the balance exceeds the home's market value.
The supply of homes on the market, measured by the time it would take to sell them at the current rate of sales, has been cut in half since January, from six months to three, said Bart Stevens, president of the Maine Association of Realtors.
A six-month supply is a sign of a balanced market, in which there is no great advantage for buyers or sellers, said Stevens, who owns Century 21 Nason Realty in Winslow. With just three months' supply in the Portland area, he said, the market now favors sellers.
"It's a very big change in the Portland market," Stevens said.
As of March 11, there were 1,486 single-family homes listed for sale in Cumberland County, down about 12 percent from 1,688 listings on March 8, 2012, said Suzanne Guild, CEO of the Maine Association of Realtors. The data released by the association does not indicate the average time that homes stayed on the market before being sold.
Real estate agents said they weren't surprised to see the boost in median home price, given the market's relative lack of supply.
Rita Yarnold of Bay Realty Associates in Portland said she has been telling clients who plan to finance their home purchases to get credit approval before bidding.
"(They) have to be qualified in advance, because each of the properties they're looking at have multiple offers," Yarnold said.
As home prices increase, she said, the number of sales will likely begin to slow because of the reduced inventory.
That hasn't happened yet.
From February through April, home sales in Cumberland County increased nearly 11.5 percent from the same period a year earlier, from 558 sales to 622, according to the Maine Association of Realtors report.
Statewide, home sales increased by an even greater amount, 13.7 percent, from 824 sales in April 2012 to 937 sales in April 2013. The association reported statewide home sales for April only.
April's statewide median price was $167,000, up nearly 4.4 percent from $160,000 in April 2012.

Pacers acquire Turner in trade for Granger
Updated On: Feb 20 2014 04:07:29 PM CST
The Indiana Pacers pulled off a significant trade with the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday.
The Pacers traded forward Danny Granger to the 76ers for forwards Evan Turner and Lavoy Allen, multiple media outlets reported.
The Sixers also received a future second-round pick, according to ESPN.
Turner, 25, averaged 17.4 points and 6.0 rebounds in 54 games this season, all as a starter.
He started all 82 games for the 76ers last season, and it remains to be seen how he will fit into the Pacers' lineup.
Granger, 30, was an All-Star in 2009, but has been hampered by injuries recently. He missed most of last season after undergoing knee surgery, and has played in only 29 games this season because of a calf injury. He returned to action on Dec. 20 and is averaging 8.3 points and 3.6 rebounds this season for the Pacers.
Granger becomes a free agent this summer, so it is unclear what Granger's future holds after this season.
Allen, a third-year player out of Temple, has played in 51 games for the 76ers this season and is averaging 5.2 points per game.

Lockout Update: Day 44: There is still a lockout.
Fantasy Guide - Fully updated as of October 26. When the season is announced, I will re-jig the projections from Abdelkader through to Zubrus.
Edmonton prospect Justin Schultz - a defenseman in his rookie-pro season - leads all AHLers in scoring with 12 points in seven games.
While the players and the media are starting to believe that perhaps Gary Bettman has underestimated Donald Fehr, Bettman continues to just not care what players and media believe. He's at home, sipping his coffee and reading a newspaper. And when January hits, he'll cancel the season. And when January of 2014 hits and the NHLPA still haven't come crawling, he'll shut down the NHL. Do you think he's even given Donald Fehr a second thought? The NHL is a toy to his bosses. While they bring in billions of dollars from Little Caesars, or Biovail, or Rexall Pharmacy, or Ameritel or American Express - you know, their real businesses - they are content to take a couple of years off from their toy. In fact, if shutting down the league in two years and then re-launching a new league in four years is the method to get their way, they're comfortable with that.
Do you think a corporation cares if it has to shut down an office building in Montreal, if it saves millions? So what makes you think the owners care about shutting down a small part of their wealth, i.e. the NHL?
The players are getting treated unfairly here. And yes, they are getting screwed (and the term "screwed" is used very loosely, when you consider that makings millions of dollars per year is hardly getting screwed). But welcome to the reality of life. People get screwed by their bosses all the time. You need to accept the conditions of working in your industry - as outlined by your boss - or you can go to chef school or business school or a trade school and find yourself a new career. It's a brutal way to put it, but it's reality.
I'm anti-both sides. But if I were to pick a side it would be the players - my anger with the players is a 100…but my anger with the owners is a 1000! That being said, I've accepted reality: You can't strong-arm the owners if they don't care. Stop banking on the owners caring, because they don't. And if they don't care, then threats fall on deaf ears and canceling seasons are brushed aside like an annoying fly.
I don't think this gets done until the players swallow their pride and accept injustice. Yes, you signed a contract and not one person outside of the NHL believes you don't deserve every cent of that money. It's ridiculous that an owner is giving you contracts and then changing them. But that's the way it is, and the faster you accept it the sooner you can start making money again. I still believe it will happen this year.
At this point I'm wondering if I should go through my projections and adjust them all for 65 games. It's a lot of work - it's not just a matter of taking a percentage of their current projection. There are injuries to consider, the recovery time, the hot starts, the aging vets, etc.
Could James Sheppard be San Jose's third-line center this year? CSN Insider Kevin Kurz believes so. At the very least, GM Doug Wilson expect Sheppard to make an impact.
Here is the roster for Team Russia at the Super Series. Of note, Andrei Vailevski, Nail Yakupov, Mikhail Grigorenko (in the QMJHL games).
Here is the roster for Team WHL. Of note, Ryan Murray, Matt Dumba, Griffin Reinhart, Morgan Rielly, Duncan Siemens and Michael St. Croix.
Henrik Zetterberg and Damien Brunner are meshing well in Switzerland. Wow - this speaks volumes. It gives Brunner a leg up in training camp, as he'll almost certainly be given time on Zetterberg's line to start. And he'll get a couple of games there - plenty of time to make an impression even if it's not enough of one to remain on that line. But enough of one to stick with the big club and occasionally see time there. Europeans generally take a couple of years to get rolling, but he could be on the fast track.
Incidentally, their linemate is Linus Omark. Brunner leads the Swiss League in points, but Omark is second.
What you see often in sports is when a high level executive moves from one team to the next, players from his former team tend to get acquired with more frequency than from the 28 other teams in the league. So John Davidson is now with Columbus. Hmmmm… what position on Columbus really sucks? And what position is a strength in St. Louis, to the point of embarrassment it's so ridiculously impressive?
Yes, I'm saying you should watch for the Columbus goalies to stumble early on and if Brian Elliott is off to a hot start again, then look for the Jackets to make a play for Jaroslav Halak.
Toronto's top pick this past summer, defenseman Morgan Rielly, is up to 20 points in 16 games in WHL action. That's good for second among defensemen. So far, that pick at third is looking brilliant.
Down Goes Brown - what sport should you watch while the NHL is locked out?
I know it's a minor thing, but Ryan Nugent-Hopkins getting knocked out of the game Friday after getting clipped in the mouth - it's not giving me that warm feeling inside about him. The concern is, will he always run into little injuries? He's not a thick, strong guy and apparently he's not avoiding the hits and the stickwork. Far too early to say for sure, but I'd rather stuff like this didn't happen and the impression on his fantasy hockey future was more cut and dried.
Semyon Varlamov has four shutouts in 11 KHL games this season so far.
Nail Yakupov has eight goals and 10 points in 11 KHL contests so far.
Sami Vatanen, who would be a rookie on the Ducks this year, has seven points in five AHL contests so far. What a great start for a player I've often compared to Tobias Enstrom in terms of potential NHL impact.
This is funny - a prank pulled on Paul Bissonnette.
"Who do you play for?"
"I have the last game they played, and you're not on the roster."
habsrule said:
shingy said:
I say no to all that. $10 has provided more than enough already.
Halak would be the trade bait cause he would be worth much more on the market. Elliot will continue to thrive in the Blues system so keep him, and his salary is cheaper.
Hopefully RNH and Hall stay healthy this season and give the Oiler's a shot at a playoff spot. Imagine, they both go down with injuries and the Oiler's end up with another number one.
Varlamov is sounding better all the time. Hopefully he can improve his road record. The D looks a little suspect, but I'm not very familiar with them.
I'm with the players. It seems like there has been an endless number of labor strikes across Canada for the last few years. It's been rough. Most are just fighting for a few more scraps to keep up with the price of milk, bread, heating fuel, gas etc. Although these millionaire players live in a different world than us, they still represent the fight between Corporations and labor, on the national stage no less. As mentioned, the players will likely need to accept the reality of the situation or sit out for extended break. Corporations don't have feelings, that why they are ruining and control the world we live in.

but i think that even if elliot puts together another season like last year,
the blues still hold onto halak...
they learned from last year's playoffs...
so, even if A
you aren't going to see B

I don't know about you, but every year I see players in multiple leagues holding out for more money. This is one of the big problems I have with whiney players. Owners can't roll back a deal when the player doesn't perform up to par, but it's fine for the player to hold an owner for ransom if he exceeds his contract value.

Philadelphia police are searching for the man who they say sexually assaulted a 63-year-old woman late last week inside of her Northeast Philadelphia home.
Police say the burglary happened on the 7900 block of Loretta Avenue just after midnight Thursday morning.
The suspect, who police say is in his 20s, entered the woman's home and allegedly began to sexually assault her. When the woman began to struggle, police say the suspect struck her several times in the head with a hammer.
Police say the suspect ran out of the home as the woman began to scream.
The man was seen driving a white Toyota Celica, police said. You can watch surveillance video of the suspect on the Philadelphia Police Department YouTube channel.
If you have any information, you're asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS (8477). You can also text a tip to PPD TIP or 773847.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Kite friends in Japan
Reports are coming in from kite friends in Japan. Modegi-san and family are fine in Tokyo. Mikio Toki is also OK. Reports are that the kite museum has sustained some damage. The family of Takako Baressi are fine. All are suffering from the huge mess the earthquake created in their homes.
No one has yet heard from Mrs Sato. Sato-san lives in the north of Japan where the most damage has occurred.
Drachen Foundation has been receiving reports. For updates check their Facebook page.
This is a disaster of unprecendented scope and scale. Would you be interested in contributing to a fund to help out the kiters of Japan thru our sister organization Japan Kite Association?

Re: Kite friends in Japan
Which kite museum in Japan are you referring too?
Re: Kite friends in Japan
I have heard from somebody who has heard from Sato-san in Aomori. They are well, though as of a few days ago there was no gas or power.

Re: Kite friends in Japan
That's good news Jim, I couldn't remember if they live on the Japanese mainland, or the big island to the north.
Re: Kite friends in Japan
Seeing no reply I'm going to assume you were referring to the museum in Tokyo.
It seems to me that museums will be the least of their worries for quite a while.
Re: Kite friends in Japan
I agree, which is why we'll be asking the JKA to divvy up our donation between humanitarian aid and museum repairs. I'm certain Modegi-san will know where our assistance will do the most good.

Re: Kite friends in Japan
How do I contact Phil Broder ? Can't seem to find any contact information on the AKA website. I have made a cash donation to the Kitefliers Fund, but want to donate a kite as a prize in the drawing for donors. Please post his contact info, or....Phil, if you read this, please contact me.

Re: Kite friends in Japan
Nevermind ! He is online now.
Re: Kite friends in Japan
Sorry about the former reply to Barbara's post...I didn't know KitePhil was Phil Broder. My bad ! Anyway, I have a pristine, never flown, 1983 Vertical Visuals Classic Roller I would like to donate as a prize to the donors to the Japan Fund. How do I go about this ? Do I send a picture of the kite ? I just discovered this kite this week-end in sorting through my kite collection, and realized that it was from left-over inventory from my kite shop that folded in 1985. It was still in it's original packaging, and unopened. All VV rollers were great fliers and beautiful kites...I value the many that I have highly. Would make a good prize for those interested in kite history.
Re: Kite friends in Japan
That's a great kite. A great flier, too. I've already donated once, but I'd do it again if that kite is going into the pot.

1006 1/2 4TH St N, St Petersburg, FL | Directions 3370127.769606 -82.632138
Fri-Sat 11:00am- 9:30pm Sun-Thu 11:00am- 9:00pm
Neighborhoods: University Park - South Downtown
Overpriced, lousy food and service – I'm frustrated that I just paid 50 bucks to get food poisoning. The food was below average and the service was rushed and curt... bordering on rude. The fried clam strips were chewy and gritty, which I'm going to assume was sand. The blackened grouper was flavorless and undercooked, the fried shrimp tasted like they were straight out of the freezer section of the grocery store and worse yet when I looked under the breading they weren't de-veined. The steamed veggies somehow managed to be both limp and dehydrated, and all of the veggies including the potatoes were drenched in what appeared to be butter oil (or whatever that fake butter is that Long John Silvers uses). When the bill arrived it said that happy hour and early bird specials were from 3-6 daily, but we were not made aware of this when we arrived well before 6:00. We had not even made it half way home (10 minutes away) when I realized I was going to be violently ill. Not sure if it was from the bad seafood, the huge amounts of oil butter, or the tartar and cocktail sauces kept at room temperature on the tables. At any rate, I decided the leftovers were not even fit for my dogs to eat.
P.S. I was bewildered at all of the great reviews on this site until I saw that the most recent was in 2006. Obviously a lot has changed.
only the best of the best – I worked for the shrimp store back before the remodling faz,and I tell ya it has not changed a bit. Oh, wait it has gotten better then before. I now live in Brooksville,and at any chanse I get to St.Pete. I have to stop and eat some good food. There is only one problem,I can't get everything I like. But I try. I am proud to know that I worked for such a great place that serves great food. I reccomend anyone who has not tryed it to give it a shot. It is a happy and yummy expierence. Lynn Smith
A keeper – We have been going to 4th street for many years and the quality and service are great. Only have had a bad experience with one of hte waitresses, otherwise great service. We usually get the steamed shrimp and the quantity is awesome, that with the new potoatoes in butter and coleslaw will really hit the spot. The clam chowder is good, but not hte best I have had in the area.
great experience – We found this website and used the info. to make the decision to try the Fourth Street Shrimp Store.
We have lived in the area since 1979 and this was our first visit...it was great..we found that they have been in business 18 years. We eat out a lot so we were amazed we had not found this jewel before now. Very reasonably priced, great portions and quality food. The waitress was very nice and when I called for directions the girl was very pleasant and helpful. This place is a keeper.
The Fourth Street Shrimp Store is fun from the beginning. – The Scene
Inside hangs various goofy antiques, a Victorian bathtub lounges on the lawn and hung inside on the wall is a carved naked woman that once graced the prow of a shipshe is quixotically wearing a man's necktie and strings of Gasparilla beads. We were so chilled at that point, we didn't care whether the food was any good or notthe restaurant has all the earmarks of a terrific place to hang.
The Food
A clam chowder, rich and thick and loaded with clams and potatoes, arrived straightaway. It was very good, and people with delicate appetites probably would be satisfied to stop there and go home. But duty called, so we answered by ordering shrimp and scallop dinners.
Mine entailed a huge pile of fried scallops, accompanied with homemade coleslaw and new potatoes swimming in parsley and butter. It must have been a half pound or more or scallops, way too much to eat at a sitting, but who cares? Homemade rather than commercial breading might have made the dish better, but it was still perfectly respectable. Ditto for the shrimp dinner my hubbie got.
The Dessert
If you're genetically unable to decline anything chocolate, try the "Chocolate Suicide" cake, which lives up to its name: Dark, rich cake loaded with satiny frosting, its outside rolled with peanuts, a wonderful, crunchy variation. Suicide would only be attractive if you knew you would never taste this cake again.
Comfort (sea)food – This has quickly become my favorite place for cheap, satisfying, delicious seafood. The clam chowder is among the best ever. The clam strips and trender and full of flavor. The atmosphere is quirky, but the friendly service and no-nonsense food more than makes up for it.
