The good: The iPad Mini's ultrathin and light design is far more intimate and booklike than the larger iPad, and its cameras, storage capacities, optional LTE antenna, and general functionality offer a full iPad experience. The screen's dimensions elegantly display larger-format magazines and apps.
The bad: The iPad Mini costs too much, especially considering the lower resolution of its 7.9-inch non-Retina Display. The A5 processor isn't as robust as the one in the fourth-gen iPad and iPhone 5. Typing on the smaller screen is not quite as comfy.
The bottom line: If you want the full, polished Apple tablet experience in a smaller package, the iPad Mini is worth the premium price. Otherwise, good alternatives are available for less money.

The crappy screen kills it completely
by alex_sli on January 8, 2013
Pros: Light
3x4 screen aspect ratio
Small marginsCons: Horrible screen, worse than in the old tablets with the same resolution

Summary: I love my 3rd generation iPad, with the only exception of it being too bulky and heavy. This one is so light, which is by far its largest advantage over the Android-based competitors and larger iPad models. And the screen ratio 3x4 makes it much more convenient for most applications (except widescreen movie watching, which I would never do on a tablet anyway). But I was highly disappointed when I actually tried the device. The highly granular screen makes it VERY tiresome to read from the screen. The screen is not just pure resolution, dark lines between pixels are actually quite visible, unlike in the earliest Android devices, which used to have similar resolution. So, the crappy screen kills the device completely! In summary, wait for a version with a better screen and buy it then, but not right now.

Summary: The very first time you hold the iPad Mini is amazing because of how light it is. Just like the iPhone 5 is lighter than previous generations, the light weight on this pretty much sells you automatically. The price is a joke but that's Apple. I like my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" a lot more because it's much cheaper and because Android is just much better (my opinion). It also has a slower processor compared to the 4th gen iPad that just came out (when this was announced). It's stupid how Apple isn't using Micro USB because now people also have to get a lightning charging adapter (which is a pain) but at least they made a converter from Lighting to Micro USB. The cellular option is always nice if you want the internet embedded into the device so you don't have to carry a Mifi around (or just use internet with wifi only...like home, coffee shop, etc).
Overall the iPad Mini is definitely a good buy if you want a lighter weight tablet over the regular 10.1" iPad, no retina display, slower processor and the optional cellular option(s).1 out of 4 users found this user opinion helpful.

Returned this and kept my Ipad 3rd Gen. Waste of money!
by mattliptak on December 18, 2012
Pros: Smaller size and great resolution make it compact and portable. Feels like you are carrying a book and fits into pockets. Strong battery life and ultra thin.
Cons: Waste of money. I bought this thinking I could add it to my already large collection of Apple products but there is no place for it. It is too small. Larger Ipads are faster and easier to view. This was a impulse buy and worthless.
Summary: I would only buy this if you have never owned another Ipad. Otherwise you will be disappointed and will be returning.

I have an iPhone 5 and had iPad 3 - sold iPad 3, will either wait for next gen mini or get iPad 4.

I recommend waiting. Apple is almost sure to fix the major omissions with the mini's second iteration. If you need something now, I recommend spending more and get a full sized iPad. However, if you only have 329 dollars, and its burning a hole in your pocket. The iPad mini's $129 price premium could go a long way toward buying apps in the Amazon App Store with a Kindle Fire HD Tablet, or on the Google Play store with a Nexus 7 Tablet.3 out of 10 users found this user opinion helpful.

Why the garbage screen????????????????
by appleluvr2 on October 31, 2012
Pros: 2 yr old can use it.
Cons: Closed ecosystem. Apple doesnt let you have access to your own property. Screen is unbearably bad. Pixel density is at least 2 generations behind. Color, Vibrance.... Screen just looks so crappy, cant believe Apple did this.
And it costs 30% to much in my opinion.

Aliens: Colonial Marines publisher Sega has conceded that trailers for Gearbox Softwares poorly-received shooter were misleading. It comes as the UK's Advertising Standards Agency authority has spoken with Sega about the matter and as a result, all of the game's trailers must now bear a disclaimer.

Borderlands 2 Wii U not happening due to lack of 'OMG' features
Borderlands 2 developer Gearbox Software isn't planning on bringing its RPG-shooter to Wii U, as it just couldn't come up with any killer GamePad features that would warrant a port. Aliens: Colonial Marines on the other hand has plenty. Randy Pitchford has discussed his decision in a new interview. Get the quotes below.

Writing Exercise Result 14
Desire is a powerful overlord. I succumbed to it with no thought of the consequences or of him. I should have considered what it would mean, but I never allowed reason or conscience to whisper even the tiniest objection to me. I was obsessed.
It was my fault he had fallen. The once mighty editor, master of minions and millions, was on his knees before me, looking up at me with those brilliant blue eyes. Eyes that once adored what I possessed. Eyes now filled with accusation and loathing for what I had done. He would never understand my needs. How could he? I didn't understand them myself.
I could have bought what I desired, but I had to have it from him. None other would satisfy me. Somewhere in the back of my mind I blamed him for my weakness, but I knew it was my doing alone.
Perhaps if I had repaired the gaping hole I left behind it wouldn't have been so bad, but I was sure there was no repairing this damage. Why even try?
I looked down at him and brushed away a tear of regret for what was. "I'm sorry." It wasn't enough, but it was all I could give him.
He only growled in response from the hole in his floor where I had cut out the inlay.

Actually, I sort of cringed when I wrote that. Just thinking about marring that floor makes me shudder. - 6/29/08, 5:12 PM

Hey phoenix - Yep- I'm usually a blonde in the summer. But I'm not usually sitting in fromt of my laptop udirng most of my waking hours as I am this summer.
It's changed my mood, honey. I don't feel very blonde right now! - 6/29/08, 9:29 PM

"Great take on an apology.

Well, if you cut a gaping hole in someone's floor, the least you can do is say your sorry.

The Editor,
April 9 marks the 95th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. After failed attempts by both British and French forces, a corps of brave and determined Canadian soldiers captured this strategic ridge in France, which was of great importance to the German defence.
Despite the terrible price in casualties, this battle marked not only a significant Allied victory, but also the first time Canadians had fought as an independent force and not as part of the British Army. Along with other achievements during the First World War, the Battle of Vimy Ridge helped establish Canada as a key player on the world stage, earning our country a separate signature on the Versailles Peace Treaty which ended the war.
As a member of The War Amps Operation Legacy, a group of committed young people who are dedicated to preserving Canada's military heritage, I would like to highlight this significant anniversary of a battle considered by many to mark Canada's birth as a nation.
To commemorate the anniversary, members of Operation Legacy will be donating copies of the documentaries A Vimy Veteran Remembers and In Flanders Fields to their local libraries. These productions are part of The War Amps internationally award-winning Military Heritage Series, which tells the lesser-known Canadian stories, and are available at a cost-recovery price by calling 1-800-250-3030 or visiting waramps.ca.

As Hurricane Isaac blew into Navarre on Aug. 28, most residents chose to take shelter inside, waiting out the wind and rain. For local photographers, however, the chance to photograph nature gone wild proved too much to resist.
Nichole Bowers and Carina Potts were just two of the photographers who went out to capture the majesty of Hurricane Isaac. Both are professional photographers with a passion for nature shots, and both took the opportunity to head out to Navarre Beach.

- Product From InteliCoat Technologies

- Product From Precision Fabrics Group
Newly patented fabric technology from Precision Fabrics Group (PFG) is helping printers realize the full potential of digital fabric printing. CrystalPrint Fabrics, available in nylon and polyester, use precision-made fabric material and a specially formulated textile coating to create the highly uniform print surface that modern digital printing requires. The high quality surface minimizes the color wicking and bleeding that can occur in inkjet printing on fabric. "The result is that printers are able to achieve the sharp definition, tight registration and color intensity that their advanced digital printing equipment was designed to deliver," says PFG R&D Chemist Wade Burgess. "And printers get this performance job after job."
- Product From Neschen Americas
Neschen has seen its Pure Color Media line grow with the addition of Fresco AdTex, a lightweight 5 oz/yd2 polyester textile with a removable and repositionable adhesive. Perfect for indoor wall graphic applications, Fresco AdTex features a special inkjet coating that provides excellent imaging with solvent, eco-solvent, latex and UV-curable inks. Its opaque, matte surface allows placement of graphics while reducing glare and limiting bleed through. This feature translates into a key benefit since there's no need to color prep the area, which saves both time and money.

The Nairn Golf Club will celebrate its 125th anniversary in 2012 by hosting the 37th Curtis Cup Match. The club was conceived in 1887 by Edinburgh-born advocate Robert Finlay, who rose to become a Viscount after presiding for three years as Britain's Lord Chancellor.
The astute Finlay persuaded influential London friends to join as members. The property nestled on the shores of the Moray Firth featured a highland wilderness of gorse and heather for which Archie Simpson, professional and keeper of the green at Royal Aberdeen, created the original design. Later, Old Tom Morris totally redesigned the layout and extended it westward over the Earl of Cawdor's property.
PAR AND YARDAGE: The Nairn Golf Club will be set up at 6,305 yards and will play to a par of 36-36—72.
ARCHITECT/CLUB HISTORY: The 2012 Curtis Cup Match will be conducted on the Championship Course at The Nairn Golf Club. Established in 1887, the course was originally designed by Archie Simpson, the professional and greenkeeper at St. Andrews, though Old Tom Morris was also instrumental in the initial course creation. Nairn has undergone renovations by James Braid and Ben Sayers.
WHAT IS THE CURTIS CUP MATCH: The Curtis Cup Match is contested by female amateur players, one team from the United States of America and one team composed of players from England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The teams consist of not more than eight players and a captain. The Match is conducted every two years, alternately in the USA and in Great Britain and Ireland.

Tucson Bird and Wildlife Festival – August 17-21
Wednesday, August 17th, 2011The Tucson Bird & Wildlife Festival is a weekend of outstanding birding and wildlife-watching held at the Riverpark Inn. Tucson Audubon hopes to make this an annual event.
Today the Sky Islands Birding Cup – a twelve hour bird-a-thon – takes place as part of the festival.
From Arizona Public Media about the festival:
"We are planning a full weekend of activities, family friendly, free stuff, birding field trips,workshops, live animal exhibits," says Erin Olmstead, who is coordinating the festival coordinator for the Tucson Audubon Society. "It's really about celebrating the diversity of the Sky Islands in the Tucson region."
The festival will draw participants from over 17 states and overseas. The Tucson area's unusual landscape and environment is one of the factors that the Tucson Audubon Society says will bring visitors to the festival.
"One of the things that makes Southern Arizona unique is you basically have the meeting point of four meta-eco[logical] regions," says Mich Coker, former vice president of the Tucson Audubon Society.
Please contact Tucson Audubon Society at 520-629-0150 for more information on the festival as online registration is now closed. Or visit their website here.

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
easy to put together. the directions were very easy to understand. It runs great
Perfect for my daughter
By Andrew happy dad
from Pittsburgh, PA
I bought this for my daughter. I sat in the garage for only 90 minutes putting this together. The hardest parts were putting the stickers on to meet the approval of my daughter and the time it took to charge the battery. I do wish the l initial charge did not take 18 hours. Overall though the car is not heavy to pick up it easy to move around. There are a couple of screws that are in interesting locations. I would definitely put the batteries in the radio before it is assembled though. The instructions show that as one of the last steps but the space for my screwdriver was pretty tight. My daughter is happy with so I am happy with it.

Awesome Toy!
By "Loves Birthdays" Mom
from Dallas, TX
This vehicle is awesome. We bought it for our 3 year old daughter's birthday and her and her older brother LOVE it. They spent the whole weekend outside riding around and playing with it. Sometimes it gets stuck in the grass, but actually did better than we thought. Definitely recommend this for hours of outdoor play!
Great product!

By Twins dad
from Columbus, Indiana
About Me Parent of Multiples (Twins etc)
I have boy/girl twins so we bought two, the pink Barbie one for her and the red one for him. They loved these Mustangs. This product may work best on concrete driveways and sidewalks. I had to replace the tires on both cars as the concrete wears on the burnouts over time! One battery gave up after 4 years, the other still works great. You can replace the battery for around $50. The twins are too big to fit in these now or they would still be riding these cars.
Terrible wheels
By PA Mom
from Lock Haven, PA
This is cute to look at that's it. My brother-in-law bought this for my daughter for her 1st bday. It's about as good as looking at die-cast cars on a shelf. The wheels they put on this are a terrible design. If she drives this anywhere but completely flat dry grass, the wheels just spin. It has a cute radio.

She's a very poor money manager. To blow through an entire million dollar life insurance policy in under a year is unbelievable.
She's spending way to much way to quickly and if she keeps up they will be flat broke. She will be forced to sell the investment property she claims she has.
I am not concerned with what she does with "her" money. My concern will kick in when she is finished living the high life and signs up for the usual programs that use my money to support her and her children. I hope it doesn't happen, but I fear it is inevitable, given her lack of self control and responsible behavior.

Hi there - this story was covered earlier on NowPublic Here
Council bans 'anti-teen' gadgetKent County Council in south east England has become one of the first in the UK to ban mosquito gadgets from its buildings.
The devices send out high-pitched sounds which can only be heard by young people.
They're used to try and stop groups of young people hanging out around shops and town centres.
But lots of people think they're not a fair way to treat young people, and should be scrapped.
Usually, adults can't hear them, because as you get older your hearing gets worse, meaning you can't hear high-pitched noises as well.
Around 3,500 of them are used across England in shopping centres, parks and shops, to try and stop bad behaviour.
Councillors in Kent brought in the ban after talking to young people, and are now planning to ask the government to ban them altogether.
The Children's Commissioner for England, Professor Sir Al Aynsley-Green, has launched a campaign to get rid of them, called "Buzz Off".
"These devices are indiscriminate and target all children and young people, including babies, regardless of whether they are behaving or misbehaving," Sir Al told the BBC. "The use of measures such as these are simply demonising children and young people, creating a dangerous and widening divide between the young and the old."
He added: "This device is a quick fix. It's not tackling the root of the problem and it's indiscriminate."
The campaign has won the support of human rights groups including Liberty, whose director, Shami Chakrabarti, described it as a "sonic weapon directed against children and young people".
"What type of society uses a low-level sonic weapon on its children? Imagine the outcry if a device was introduced that caused blanket discomfort to people of one race or gender, rather than to our kids," she said.
Meanwhile in Scotland, work to get mosquitoes, sometimes called "teen tormentors", banned, has been under way since last year.
The Mosquito alarm is an electronic device which emits high-frequency sounds, similar to the buzz of a mosquito, the insect (approximately 17.4 kHz at 85dB). Because the ability to hear high frequencies deteriorates in humans with age (a phenomenon known as presbycusis), the noise is most commonly audible to younger persons.
The device is marketed for use as a safety and security tool for preventing anti-social behaviour such as gang loitering which can often lead to graffiti, vandalism, drug usage, drug distribution, as well as violence. It is very popular in the UK, with some 3500 in use, mostly by shopkeepers and police authorities. The device is also being sold in Canada and the USA.
A British paper, metro.co.uk, reports that resourceful teenagers have devised a way to make the ringing of their mobile phones inaudible to adults. The trick is that they've recorded the sound of the Mosquito, which is a device that emits ultrasonic tones inaudible to most people over the age of twenty-five, but quite audible, and rather annoying, to people under the age of 25.
I very much doubt that the speakers used in mobile phones are capable of reproducing sound as high as 17.4K, any mobile phone (cellphone) experts here?

The MAROON Vol. XXXVII, No. 4 C Friday, October 23, 1959 Sweet And Sassy Lass Gathers Military Laurels Eyes right, and snap to, people! Little Colonel is on parade! Gathering the laurels in the recent ROTC election was Miss Bonnie Smith, sociology senior, and one of the most interesting girls around. A native of New Orleans and a Sacred Heart Academy graduate, Bonnie first attended Barat College at Lake Forest, Illinois. For two years she has graced Loyola's campus, but with the coming of January she will leave us, degree in hand to pursue a career in social work. Blonde, friendly, mad about progressive jazz, all apply to this girl with the charming smile. Her spare time is divided among numerous extracurricular activities: Phi Theta Alpha social sorority, of which she is vice president; the Inter-Sorority Council; the Social Science Club; the Philosophy Club and various intramural teams, to mention a few. Talking to people, wasting time and playing cards are her "hobbies" in that order. She likes records ,too! Friends say that Bonnie is an expert high diver, although she modestly denies it, but she does admit that she loves swimming and water skiing. An animated personality linked with a sweet disposition and a generous share of good looks thrown in for fair measure add up to one very special young lady—Little Colonel, vintage 1959. 31 FROSH COMPETE Twelve freshman council committee posts will be up for grabs in campus-wide elections Monday and Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the quadrangle.

This is my first tailored garment and while it's not perfect, it could be a lot worse. You can check out the whole process here, if you're curious and /or have a masochistic streak.
I made this for my boyfriend and it was supposed to be a Christmas present but it ended up being done right around Valentine's day instead. Better late than never, I guess.
I used Butterick 2125, which I think is from the 50s.
I also put in a fancy custom label for him to show off. I posted a little tutorial here.
Herringbone wool, Bemberg lining, horsehair canvas, silk thread.

Wow, that's awesome! Can't believe it was your first tailored garment!

Report: Cardinals to express interest in Alex Smith
That's apparently what they want to find out.
According to NFL.com insider Ian Rapoport, the team "will express interest in a possible trade" for San Francisco 49ers QB Alex Smith. However, as Rapoport notes, the Cardinals are "VERY pessimistic" that the 49ers will trade with a division rival.
They have good reason to be, as out of the 25 trades made in 2012, not one was between division rivals.
Smith, who was supplanted by Colin Kaepernick during the 2012 season, has been a rumored trade candidate ever since. A 28-year-old who really came into his own the last two seasons, Smith completed better than 70 percent of his passes for 1,737 yards and 13 touchdowns last season while being intercepted just five times. He had a QB rating of 104.1.
His best game was against the Cardinals in Glendale, when he completed 18-of-19 passes for 232 yards and three touchdowns in a 24-3 Monday night win.

[You probably expected to read a story from Katy Brown today, but instead this is someone who has assumed her identity to take over her normal Monday post on this blog. As described below, I am not the only one who has assumed her identity lately. Heck, I'm not even a woman, but as Katy found out, identity theft is a big problem.]
My friend Katy recently posted a picture on Facebook of the bottom of her Kroger receipt. Her intent was to show the portion of the receipt that tells how much money she saved with their sale prices. However, at the very top of the picture, her Facebook friends could also glimpse that she had accumulated over 700 points towards gasoline discounts. [Kroger gives you 10 cents off per gallon for every 100 points.]
Two days later, when she went to fill up her car, she discovered that she had no gas discount to use—her points were gone! She posted to her Facebook friends that she had been robbed of her points, and wondered what she should do? After all, it wasn't like her purse had been stolen—these were merely shopping points. Does one file a police report over stolen shopper points? However, her friends encouraged her to at least contact Kroger about the situation.
She called the 800 number on the back of her Kroger card and talked to the recovery specialist/loss hotline representative, who was able to tell her the exact time the points were redeemed and at which gas station. He also confirmed that the person typed in her home phone number as an alternative ID, rather than scanning the barcode on her card. [Just like some other shopper loyalty programs do, Kroger provides this option of entering your phone number in case you happened to forget your card.] He set her up with a new card and reloaded the points that were stolen, but left off the phone number option, which means that now the actual card must always be used when getting gas or groceries.
While her points were restored, her confidence in humanity was not. Could it be that one of her Facebook friends did this to her? She thought she had taken precautions to allow her Facebook account to only be seen by her friends. She also was careful to only befriend people she really knew, instead of accepting friend requests from strangers. To make matters worse, she had an unlisted phone number, so how did this thief know it? As her busy mind worried about these things, she begins to wonder if someone is stalking her (if you know Katy, you can imagine how that might happen).
I've tried to reassure her that no one is stalking her. However, there are lessons here from which all of us can learn. Identity theft is a growing problem, and Facebook's popularity is attracting more and more ne'er-do-wells. We may never know the whole story, but my guess is that it wasn't one of Katy's friends—however, it might have been someone who is friends with one of her friends.
When she posted that grocery receipt and inadvertently revealed her 700-some gas points, several of her friends posted comments underneath the picture. When they did so, it went out to their friends as "John Doe commented on Katy Brown's picture"–allowing someone who isn't a friend of Katy's to notice the potential for a discount of 70 cents per gallon. This thief also knew that even without her Kroger card, a phone number provides access at the gas pumps.
Although she has an unlisted phone number, the Internet provides ample opportunity to research people. Her phone number has also appeared in business listings (not surprising for a stay-at-home mom and free-lance writer), the parents' directory for the elementary school her children attend, and potentially other places. Perhaps all the thief had to do was to find a friend that he had in common with Katy and ask that person. Or then again, maybe the thief called the Daily Mail and asked for her number (some of the best hackers are experts at ruses such as this, which they refer to as "social engineering").
The bottom line is that some people will steal anything—even gas discounts. When using Facebook (or the Internet in general), one should always be skeptical, suspicious, and cynical. There are more and more bad guys out there all the time, so take precautions. Be discreet in what you post, don't be promiscuous when accepting friend requests, and lock down your privacy settings. Educate yourself on computer security issues. Finally, always be thinking defensively!
Although it was only gas discount points, it is still troubling to be a victim of any type of identity theft—even if it is merely hijacking the Mommyhood Blog for the day!
[Actually, Katy allowed her friend David Kurtz to write this week's story. David writes his own blog at inquisineer.blogspot.com.]

News Release
Wednesday, December 05, 2012
Media contact: Amanda Nalley, 850-410-4943
(Back to Commission meeting news)
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) made several changes to black sea bass management in Atlantic state waters at its Dec. 5 Commission meeting in Apalachicola. These changes will help rebuild the Atlantic black sea bass population for future generations of recreational and commercial fishers.
Changes, effective Feb. 1, 2013, include:
Black sea bass populations in the Atlantic are improving, but are undergoing overfishing, which means more fish are being removed from the water than is considered sustainable. Federal fishery managers made several recent changes to help continue to rebuild Atlantic black sea bass populations. The FWC-approved changes will align state management efforts with most current federal regulations for black sea bass.
FWC Facts:The Saltwater Fishing "Hot Sheet" gives the latest regulatory information for state and federal waters, as well as season updates and other current events in Marine Fisheries.

Has Christmas Become Too Secular? >
Secularism Cannot Change the Truth of Christ's Birth
Go ahead and doubt, or just join in while we believers enjoy the season
December 22, 2011
Christ's long-anticipated birth brought joy and renewed hope to early Christians. That the secular world today doesn't understand and turns Christmas into a commercial parody or tacky heyday does not in the slightest diminish the significance of the day for people of faith.
[Lowe's Intolerant for Pulling Ads From "All-American Muslim".]
Wise men today still celebrate His birth. No other event in history warrants such a huge, worldwide celebration. That the Word become flesh is the reason for the season. His birth fulfilled the true promise of "hope and change," and nothing or no one else has wrought such remarkable transformation in individual lives and entire civilizations either before or since His birth. Millions attest to being reborn from the depths of depravity, depression, and despair through the power of believing in Him. Is it any wonder the birth of Jesus Christ is cause for celebration and that the Christmas season is full of festivities and joyous traditions?
In this country, we celebrate Christ's birth in the middle of winter--analogous to the Light of Truth's warmth piercing Error's frigid, hostile darkness. Christmas is the ultimate singularity, God becoming one of us that we might become one with Him—the ultimate connectedness!
Family members drive hundreds, even thousands, of miles to be home with loved ones. Friends get together for a special meal, to go to events or concerts, or just hang out. There is justifiable reason for spending quality time together, and the tangible evidences of love create bonding and renew friendships and family relationships. People of faith and non-believers alike join in festivities and enjoy the gift giving, parties, decorating, feasts, and all the excitement of Christmas.
[Remembering Christopher Hitchens.]
Despite the stress of commercialization—all the hyper-expectation, overindulgence, and excessive spending—Christmas remains, for faithful multitudes, the most wonderful time of the year. To be sure, some spend outlandish amounts of money, and others get too caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season to focus on the truth of Christmas. But even though far too many people experience only the peripheral aspects of Christmas, countless believers celebrate Christ's birth, both His coming into the world and into their hearts. And like the shepherds of old, they fall on their knees in praise, worship, and adoration.

Firefighters are trying to determine the cause of a Friday morning fire that heavily damaged a home in the Savoy Heights neighborhood.
The fire at 935 Fleetwood Drive was reported shortly after 8 a.m., said Battalion Chief Bobby Brinson of the Fayetteville Fire Department.
Thick black smoke poured from the house and could be seen from Robeson Street.
Flames were visible from the roof and one end of the single-story wood-frame house when firefighters arrived, Brinson said.
The fire was under control in about 30 minutes.
No one was at home, Battalion Chief Ron Lewis said in a news release.
The Red Cross is assisting, Lewis said.
The house is owned by Bessie Mae Blue, who lives on the 6900 block of Pine Creek Court, according to Cumberland County tax records.

hi guys,
thinkin of settin up a once off knock out tourney on FIFA Vita, maybe do a "Last 16" Scenario with 16 international teams from Europe to coincide with Euro2012. straight 1-legged knockouts.
If i get enough interest, i'll set up a graph/table etc so all the scores will b tracked like the fifa12 forum leagues are done etc.
i'm thinkin of pickin the best 16teams in europe (or 8 etc if only a certain amount sign up) then each person picks a number and gets assigned a team.
rules would probably b 6min half games, manual controls, make it a bit of a challenge!
so let me know below if you guys are interested and we can trial the 1st ever fifa vita opc cup!
thoughts suggestions all welcome!

if you wanna take the reigns Kloudy i dont mind, with your bold blue name it might be easier to draw up some interest. although there's not a bad amount of interest already which is good! if we even get 8 we could just do an 8 person tourney, but i know there's a few more fifa vita owners who havent posted yet so who knows, we may still get the full 16!
thanks to everyone so far who's posted!
