Nick Jonas, Gabrielle Giguere On Quaker Chewy Superstar Search
One talented girl's dream has now been fulfilled through the Quaker Chewy Superstar Search. Today, Quaker Chewy named 14-year-old Gabrielle Giguere of Tampa, Florida the Grand Prize Winner of its inaugural search for the next singing sensation.
Quaker Chewy, The Superstar of Snacks, teamed up with music producer and recording artist, Nick Jonas, to find the next young music star and discovered the amazing talents of Gabrielle. Fans can now view her music video of the original song, "My Time," written and produced by Nick Jonas, at www.ChewySuperstar.com. The video will also be included in Quaker Chewy television commercials airing on CMT, VH1 and Nick at Night from November 10 through November 13.
Nick Jonas will also step into the role of J. Pierrepont Finch next year in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." He begins Jan. 24, replacing Daniel Radcliffe. For more information, visit www.howtosucceedbroadway.com.
As the winner of the Quaker Chewy Superstar Search, Gabrielle flew to Los Angeles where she collaborated with Nick to record her new single and music video. The superstar experience included a day recording at the famous East West Studio, a tour of celebrated Hollywood sights and an exclusive photo shoot. The Grand Prize also included a management contract with Jonas Group Management and $5,000 cash.
The Quaker Chewy Superstar Search resulted in thousands of submissions of young people with big voices. Gabrielle and four other finalists were selected back in August based on their stellar vocal performances, performance aesthetics and showmanship; America was then asked to vote for who they wanted to see become the first ever Chewy Superstar. Gabrielle's incredible singing abilities won over fans and garnered the most online votes by the public.
"Gabrielle's passion, determination and sheer talent shows me she's ready to become the first Quaker Chewy Superstar," said Nick Jonas. "I'm really looking forward to working together to accomplish her dream of becoming a professional artist."
Already familiar with the spotlight, Gabrielle competed in several local and national singing competitions starting at an early age. Thanks to her parents' support and positive influence, she followed her passion for singing and dreams of Hollywood. According to the budding star, "It's been an absolute dream winning the Quaker Chewy Superstar Search Contest and getting a chance to work with Nick Jonas on recording my first song. Nick is one of my idols and I've been waiting for this opportunity for so long. I'm so excited that he is helping my dreams of becoming a singer come true!"

Twitter is one of the best places to network and connect with other users, especially key players, in your niche. With a little work and consistency, you can help build your rankings and increase your reach across the Web. It's very unlikely that you will get a response from each prospect, so be sure to set realistic goals.
Remember that the greater quality of content you produce, the more top influencers will be willing to link to you. These 4 tips will help you find and connect with top Twitter influencers in your niche in order to get quality links to your content.
Do Your Research
You'll need to know the Twitter accounts for the top ranking users in your niche. To do this, you can use a Twitter directory like Twellow to see who those top users are. Find the category and/or subcategory that corresponds to your niche, for example if you run a psd to css company website so we were looking at the design niche. From here you'll able to see all users listed by follower count. This is your chance to connect with top influencers who may be interested in your content. Since your goal is to get retweets or even a website backlink, you should focus on non-celebrity accounts.
Remember that most celebrities will more than likely not respond to any type of interaction or pitches from non-celebrity accounts, so you'll need to weed them out. Unfortunately, there is no way to hide celebrity accounts on Twellow, so you'll have to do a little browsing and find the top 10-20 non-celebrity accounts. It's a good idea to follow and pay attention to these accounts on a regular basis. Create a private Twitter list and add them to it so that you don't miss out on what they're sharing. If they tweet something you like, retweet it. If they ask a question or say something interesting, respond back. While it's important to interact with them as much as you can, don't overwhelm or crowd them.
Follow The Lead
As you know, most top influencers on Twitter only follow a small percentage of users, compared to how many users they actually have. So, you can be sure that the users they're following are just as influential and important. It's a good idea to go through their following list to see if there are others in your niche that you might be able to network with as well. Again, add them to your private list and follow, retweet and interact with them as much as you can. Eventually, you're sure to get the attention of some of these users and they'll interact with you in return.
Twitter Search
Twitter's own search engine is an excellent content and user finding tool; you can search for hashtags and keywords. Of course, you can also use the search bar right on the official Twitter website; the choice is yours. Twitter Search lets you do advanced searches, while the search on Twitter.com is very basic.
Try searching for hashtags or keywords related to your niche and see what comes up. On Twitter you may get some "people results" for your search as well and you might want to follow some of those users. With both tools you'll be able to see who is tweeting about your niche. Check out their profiles and see if they are someone you may be able to network with.
Twitter Lists
Another great feature provided by Twitter is the ability to create lists and subscribe to lists created by other users. A tool like Listorious is great for searching for Twitter lists as well as users. Since lists are created manually, you can be sure that a lot of care was taken to put together a great list of Twitter users related to the corresponding keyword. Trying doing a search for lists related to your niche to find top influencers to connect with. Listorious lets you see how many people are on the list and see how many followers it has. The more followers a list has, the better. As you find users that you're interested in connecting with, add them to your own private list.
After using these 4 methods to find influencers to network with and possibly get to link to your content, be sure that you're consistent. You don't have to interact with them everyday, but 2-3 days a week will work wonders and help you build great relationship. As your relationships grow, you'll become a trusted source, which will hopefully lead to the quality backlinks and retweets that you're looking for.

Introducing London
One of the world's most visited cities, London has something for everyone: from history to culture, art to architecture.
Why I love London
By Emilie Filou
I was born in Paris, France, and while the Gallic capital never did much for me, I have fallen head over heels for London. It's been 10 years and I still revel in its energy, its amazing diversity and its unparalleled green spaces. Swimming in Hampstead Heath's ponds has to be one of my favourite things to do, followed closely by a pub quiz with friends and cocktails in Soho. And then there is the food – London is, without a doubt, the culinary capital of the world. Just come and see for yourself!
A Tale of Two Cities
London is as much about high-density, sight-packed exploration (the West End, South Bank, the City) and urban dynamism as it is about wide-open spaces and leafy escapes. Central London is where you will find all the major museums, galleries and most iconic sights, but escape to Hampstead Heath or Greenwich Park to flee the crowds and put the city's greener hues into gorgeous perspective. Or venture even further out to Kew Gardens, Richmond or Hampton Court Palace for effortlessly good-looking panoramas of riverside London.
English may be the national tongue, but over 300 languages shape London's linguistic soundscape. These languages also represent cultures that season the culinary aromas on London's streets, the clothing you glimpse and the music you hear. It can seem like the whole world has come to town. Museums, such as the British Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum, have collections as diverse as they are magnificent, while flavours at markets such as Notting Hill and Maltby Street range across the gourmet spectrum. London's diverse cultural dynamism makes it quite possibly the world's most international city, while still being somehow intrinsically British.
Time Travel
London is immersed in history. Not so much that it's intimidating, but there's sufficient antiquity and historic splendour (Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Hampton Court) to blow you away. London's buildings are eye-catching milestones in the city's unique and compelling biography. There's more than enough funky innovation (the Shard, the Aquatics Centre, the Gherkin) to put a crackle in the air, but it never drowns out London's well-preserved, centuries-old narrative. Architectural grandeur rises up all around you in the West End, ancient remains dot the City and charming pubs punctuate the Thames riverside. Take your pick.
Art & Culture
A tireless innovator of art and culture, London is a city of ideas and the imagination. British people are fiercely independent thinkers (and critics), so London's creative milieu is naturally streaked with leftfield attitude, from theatrical innovation to contemporary art, pioneering music, writing and design. And that's even truer in these testing recessionary times. The 2012 Olympic Games, and their attendant opening and closing ceremonies, have also inspired new artistic vigour and confidence.
Top 10 London for first-timers
London is huge, fast-paced and packed with things you've been told not to miss. It's a great city, but it can be hard for a first-time visitor to know where to start...
What's on in London in summer
Something magical happens when the sun flickers into the British capital's sky...
Romantic London: where to take your date at any time of day
Paris might hold the crown of most romantic city in the popular imagination, but London isn't short of sensational spots for a smooch at any time of the day...

Take in Music, Student Art and Film for Free at The Ware Center's First Friday
On First Friday, today, March 1st the Ware Center will contribute its share to the day's festivities offering an array of events and performances - ALL FREE. Included are singer/songrwriter Leo DiSanto, The Lancaster County Young Artists Art Exhibition Gold Special Award Winners Opening Night, and the film "Miss Representation".
Leo DiSanto, will perform solo in fifteen minutes sets from 6 - 8 PM. A singer-songwriter and modern troubadour from rural Pennsylvania, DiSanto resounds with a diversity of influences from Sun Records-era Elvis, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan to country junkyard rock, acoustic folk and warped, circus music. Described by a songwriter friend as "Lord Byron meets Merle Haggard," Leo's galvanizing solo performances have inspired comparisons to legendary troubadours such as Townes Van Zandt, Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, and Willie Nelson.
The 49th Annual Lancaster County Young Artists Gold & Special Award Winners Exhibit opens 6 - 8 PM, Friday. This extremely popular show features hundreds of pieces of work and recognizes outstanding art students in Lancaster County grades 7 to 12. From a field of thousands, a few hundred were chosen by a panel of judges to be included in the exhibition. This exhibit is also open Noon until 4 PM Saturday and Sunday, March 2 & 3 and then runs regular business hours (Mon-Fri. 9 AM to 4 PM) at the Ware Center until March 24.
At 7:30 PM, The Ware screens "Miss Representation". In a society where media is the most persuasive force shaping cultural norms, the collective message that our young women and men overwhelmingly receive is that a woman's value and power lie in her youth, beauty and sexuality- and not in her capacity as a leader. The powerful film includes stories from teenage girls and interviews with notables like Condoleeza Rice, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, Rosario Dawson and Gloria Steinem. The 90 minute film will be followed by a panel discussion/talk back. The film is sponsored by MU's Department of Social Work.
All events are unticketed, open to the public and FREE. The Ware Center is located at 42 North Prince Street, Lancaster, PA.

Just returned from 3 weeks traveling around Italy and Villa Beatrice was by far the best place we stayed. Simone is an excellent host and a wonderful chef! The rooms were all very comfortable (we rented out the entire Villa, there were 7 of us) and it was the best 3 night sleep I had in the entire three weeks we were in Italy. The grounds are beautiful and setting peaceful. We had rented a car so we were able to get down to the city center easily, without a car may be a little more difficult.: however Simone was very accommodating and I believe he can assist with the transportation as needed. I can't wait to go back to Verona and stay at Villa Beatrice. I highly recommend Villa Beatrice if you plan on going to Verona. Thank you Simone!!!!

Io e mio marito abbiamo trascorso un bellissimo week end all'insegna del relax,della cordialita' e della tranquilllita' a Villa Beatrice. Circondata da un meraviglioso parco punteggiato da cipressi, carpini ed olivi, l'ambiente rurale e' molto suggestivo e rilassante. I nostri padroni di casa ( Simone e Angelica) non hanno risparmiato energie per farci sentire a casa, dandoci preziosi consigli per visitare la citta' e preparandoci una colazione incredibilmente ricca e genuina, sia dolce che salata. La nostra camera, La Corvina, con ingresso indipendente e bagno privato era carinissima e luminosa con affaccio sul giardino. A pochi km dal centro di Verona troverete una casa accogliente con delle persone deliziose che vi accoglieranno come foste vecchi amici. L'unico rammarico e' quello di esserci rimasti troppo poco.

You can tell when someone puts there heart and soul into what they do… that is Simone. His B&B is worth the adventuresome car ride up the mountain. The views are awesome. His knowledge of the area is thorough. We had 2 nights but only 1 full day to spend in Verona and he gave us a one-day itinerary that we were able to accomplish perfectly. His breakfasts were a lovely variety of homemade yogurt, jams, pastries, and he offered eggs to order if anyone wanted. The recommendations he gave us for places to eat for lunch and dinner were exceptional… and only what a local would know. Our stay felt like we were given that special, rare experience that most people do not usually have.
4,6 sur juin 14, 2012
Our family enjoyed our stay at this B&B, Simione, our host was so helpful in showing us places to eat, especially on our first night and even called the reservation for us. Our room (Corvina) was very clean and we enjoyed having a separate entrance from the house. Breakfast was outstanding with fresh bakery goods and fresh fruits and juice and choices of cereals The home is 15 min. from Verona by car, beautiful and quiet neighborhood, There is a nice short walking trail closely.
4,4 sur avril 06, 2010
We stayed here over the easter holidays and had a wonderful time. I could not recommend the place enough, Simone was a great host and looked after our every need and is a great cook.
4,8 sur octobre 21, 2009
Having just two nights to spend in Italy we chose Verona after much research. This led us to discover Villa Beatrice! We received expert directions and info from Simone, our host. He welcomed us like family and made our short visit the highlight of our month in Europe! It was hard to leave such a beautiful place and feel that we are always welcome back. We will return at the first opportunity without question.
5 sur octobre 07, 2009
If you are looking for a stay at a real Italian Villa that is quiet, away from the city with personal service, beautiful inside and out then this is the place. The owner Simone, is great, very helpful, personable and friendly. Be sure to ask for directions or also he can pick you up in the city. Likely this will be the best place you stay in Italy!
4,8 sur juin 30, 2009
Villa Beatrice is a great place to stay in Verona if you want somewhere to relax in a beautiful environment just 15 mins from the centre of Verona. Simone your host is fantastic and goes right out of his way to ensure you have a good time and enjoy your stay. If you are looking for a B&B in Verona this is the place to stay. One tip though, do take Simone's advice and print the map to show you how to get there, we forgot and meant we enjoyed more of the countryside than we might have otherwise!!! Have fun and thanks Simone.

We were so glad to have found this serene place in the hills of Verona. Simone, our host, gave us many insider tips and made our stay a home away from home. We would love to stay there again.
4,8 sur mai 08, 2008
My daughter stayed at this property for two night in April 2008. I really enjoyed my stay here. The Innkeeper Simone was great and really helpful with directions and helping us find our next place. I would not hesitate to stay here again. You really need a car and a GPS to find this place but well worth it.

- Hits: 7562
The Prizegiving for the London to Portland Small Ships Race took place at Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy at 1800 on Saturday. Prizes were awarded for the youngest crew members, the oldest crew member (80!), race comms, youngest skipper, and of course for winning places in the Race! The coveted Richard Langhorn Trophy (voted for by the crews of all the boats) for the vessel that best represents the spirit of the Race, went to James Cook. Not only were they 2nd across the finish line, but most of their crew had not sailed before and included several visually impaired young people. Grace, the skipper of James Cook, stepped in to organise the alternative events on Saturday when the round-the-cans race was cancelled. Congratulations from all taking part.
The overall winner of the London to Portland Small Ships Race, winning the beautiful Aurora trophy, was Maybe, based in Hull but with the most international crew, from Australia, South Africa and the US. They also had on board the youngest boy. Well done Maybe!
A full list of results and prizes is here.

Contepomi back in Pumas squad
ESPN Staff
November 3, 2012
Felipe Contepomi has been handed a recall to the Argentina side for the autumn internationals © Getty Images
Felipe Contepomi has been handed a recall to the Argentina squad for their autumn internationals, but second-row Patricio Albacete has been forced to withdraw after undergoing surgery.
The Stade Français fly-half won the most recent of his 78 caps against France in June and then missed the entire Rugby Championship after an agreement between the Argentine Union (UAR) and the French clubs meant that players couldn't feature in the June Tests and the Rugby Championship. Albacete required surgery after he injured an eye socket in Toulouse's match with Racing Metro on Thursday and will be out of action for over a month.
"Pato Albacete is a major player in our team and we wish him a speedy recovery," Phelan said. "But being able to call on the experience of Felipe Contepomi is something that will help the squad."
Overall Los Pumas coach Santiago Phelan has had to make three change to his squad for matches against Wales in Cardiff on November 10, France in Lille on November 17 and Ireland in Dublin on November 24. Contepomi replaces Biarritz centre Marcelo Bosch, who along with prop Gómez Kodela, has been held back by their club. Juan Gómez Kodela replaces Kodela and Tomás Vallejos Cinalli comes in for Albacete.
Even though his side has been hit by the reluctance of French clubs to release them, Phelan is confident that the depth of players is sufficient for the upcoming internationals.
"One year as long as this one has been involves having a lot of players prepared to play at the highest level and ready to be called up," Phelan said. "We worked really well with the European clubs to give us access to their players for the Rugby Championship."

In Which I Dumpster Dive in My Own Fridge Again
Kitchen Diary: Anne in South Carolina
Saving money is the name of the game around here these days. With college looming and some travel plans on the horizon, I cut corners where I can. Though I'm kicking myself for this now, we raised our kids to be "good eaters," which has translated into "kids with expensive culinary tastes."
But good, healthy food can happen on a budget, especially if you use what you have on hand instead of going to the store. The other night, I came up with French onion and kale soup, topped with Brie crouton. 'Cause why not?

Take A Train Ride With Me [VIDEO]
The summer before I began working at KFMX I drove a train ride at an amusement part. It was a really fun job and it was really old school at the same time. What we cool is, we actually gave a speech while driving the train. Sure it was on tracks, but we were still in charge of acceleration and stopping.

An attempt to restrict the mayor's participation in meetings was rejected last week by the Camp Verde Town Council.
Councilman Ron Smith proposed changes to the town code that he said would bring mayoral duties back in line with Robert's Rules of Order, a set of procedural guidelines followed by many elected bodies around the country.
Smith's proposal would have limited the mayor's ability to discuss issues with the council unless the mayor volunteered to give up his or her position temporarily.
It would have also curtailed the mayor's right to vote on an issue unless his or her vote would break a tie or create one to effectively kill a motion.
The proposed changes as Smith outlined them were dismissed for lack of a second, but Council members Norma Garrison and Greg Elmer made it known they would like to see some change after voting with Smith against keeping the status quo.
Smith denied that his proposals were aimed solely at current Mayor Tony Gioia, but went on to say he felt Gioia was "steering from the bench."
Gioia argued that every motion was open for discussion and that each council member was free to make their own motions and vote how they would like; he also said he felt Smith's proposals were aimed at him personally.
"I feel the mayor has abused his right and has been steering from the bench," Smith said. "It's not personal, it's just in the best interests of the town."
Gioia disagreed.
"If it's not personal, then I don't know how to describe it," Gioia said. "It seems very politically motivated."
Elmer said he liked the idea of the mayor voting only to break ties, and that it would take the pressure off individual council members if they didn't have to be the swing vote on an issue.
Elmer's vote broke a deadlock earlier this year over an empty seat on the council and saw Charlie German appointed to the board after several other candidates were rejected.
Garrison said she felt that Gioia had overstepped his bounds on occasion, and pointed out a meeting Gioia had with Camp Verde Sanitary District Chairman Gregg Freeman.
"If my actions betrayed your trust in someway," Gioia told Garrison, "I do apologize."
The council also shot down proposed term limits for the council after Town Attorney Bill Sims pointed out the council lacked authority to impose them.

SandRidge Energy responds to 'false and misleading' investor campaign
Send this to a friend
- Staff Wichita Business Journal
TPG-Axon, the activist investor that has been calling for SandRidge Energy Inc. to replace its directors, "simply does not have the facts straight," according to a statement SandRidge released Wednesday.
The Oklahoman reports the company responded to several criticisms from TPG-Axon, such as those related to SandRidge's financial performance. The shareholder has raised issue, in part, with the fact that SandRidge's stock price has tumbled 80 percent since the company's initial public offering.
However, SandRidge says it has exceeded analyst consensus estimates for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for each of the past five quarters.
SandRidge also responded to accusations related CEO Tom Ward's stake in the company.

Now all the boys need is their other Troy costar Brad Pitt to join their manjoyable biker gang.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Bertuzzi On The Right Team
by Paul on 03/06/07 at 02:54 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Ray Slover at the Sporting News,
Oh, yeah, one more thing about Bertuzzi: If this man can clean up his tarnished reputation, he has come to the right place to do it. The Red Wings have perhaps the best atmosphere and leadership corps of any team in the NHL.
But it's up to Bertuzzi. St. James says the team already is reaching out to him as a teammate, and he's reaching back.
No matter what you think of Bertuzzi, he is an impact player.
more... Hmmm, wonder how Andy Strickland feels about this…

Chapter 14
I don't know how long it was after I fell asleep, but I had woken up to Agustin shaking me.
"Agustin, what is it?" I asked still tired.
"Rio," I heard back.
Rolling over, I saw that it wasn't Agustin, but another Riolu shaking me awake instead.
Sitting up, I turned on the side table lamp and looked down at the Riolu.
"Lu," I heard it say as it hugged me.
Placing my hand on its back, I looked up and around the room. The only thing that I could find out of the ordinary was the room door was open and the living room light was on. Picking up the Riolu, we went out to the living room.
"You're up," Ari said.
"Where's Agustin?" I asked still tired.
"Isn't that him?" Ari asked.
"No. The aura is different," I replied.
Hearing the toilet flush behind me, I turned around to see the bathroom door open and Agustin coming out.
"What's going on out here, if you don't mind me asking?" I asked everyone.
"I had woken up to someone knocking at the door," Ari said.
"Who was at the door?" I asked.
"One of the professors assistants," Lily replied.
Going over to the couch, I could tell that it was my mentor from back when I started working at the professor's lab.
"That would explain the Riolu then," I said. "The question is, why would another assistant come all the way out here?"
"What's going on?" Agustin asked still tired.
"It's nothing Agustin, just us talking," I said.
I felt him wrap his arm around my leg as he stumbled. I chuckled as he tried to balance. After a couple of attempts to stand up, he finally gave up and just used me to keep himself balanced.
I knelt down and helped him balance. Once he was balanced, I set down the other Riolu to make sure Agustin was all right.
"Thanks," Agustin said.
"Sure thing," I replied.
"Who's the girl?" Agustin asked.
"The assistant or the Riolu?" I asked.
"The Riolu," he replied.
"How can you tell?" I asked.
"By the smell," he replied.
I felt her snuggle up to me.
"She's nervous isn't she?" I asked.
"A little yeah," he replied sheepishly.
I could tell that he was having some feelings towards the female Riolu.
"Are you feeling ok Agustin?" I asked him.
"Wha~ of course I'm feeling well. What makes you think I'm not?" he said bitterly.
"It's just the way you were looking at her," I replied.
"That's not true," he replied angrily.
"Yes it is."
"No it's not."
"Why are you defending yourself then?" I asked him.
"I don't know," he said looking down.
"You know you don't have to hide your feeling from me, right?" I said putting a hand on his shoulder.
"I know," he said. "It's just…I don't know what to do at times."
"It's alright if you don't know what to do, you can always talk to me about it. That's what friends are for right?" I said to him.
"Yeah," he replied.
"Come here," I said picking him up.
He wrapped his arms around my neck and pressed his head up against my shoulder.
Looking over at the other Riolu, I gave her a pat on the head to calm her down a bit. She did seem to enjoy the comfort.
"Do you know who the assistant is?" Lily asked.
"Yeah," I said looking over at her. "She's my old mentor."
"Your old mentor?" Lily said.
"She was the one who trained me when I first started working at the lab fifteen years ago," I said.
"How long after you first started did you meet Lily?" Ari asked.
"About three years later," I replied.
"But why was it well after you started that you met her?" Ari asked.
"It was my first assignment to gather up some research for the professor," I said. "I met her mother at the day care center and ended up taking care of her child after she passed away."
"What is your assignment this time?" Ari asked.
"It's still the same," I replied "I'm finishing up my research. Once the storm passes we can head back to Sandgem Town."
"How long do you think this storm will last?" Lily asked.
"It might be gone sometime tomorrow," I said. "For now we should get some sleep."
With that, we went back to our rooms.
The female Riolu crawled up onto the bed and made herself comfortable.
I set Agustin down on the bed and then sat next to him.
"Why is it hard for you to tell me what's wrong?" I asked Agustin.
"Whenever I do try to tell you, I become nervous and I can't figure out how to put it into words," he said.
"It's alright if you become nervous when you try to tell me," I said.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said. "You can always try to tell me even if you are nervous. It's the effort that counts in this case."
"Why is it the effort that counts?" he asked.
"It counts because of what you try to do and not what you want to do," I said. "It'll take time for you to become comfortable at tell me what's wrong."
"Thanks," he said.
"Sure thing," I said wrapping my arm around his shoulders.
He then wrapped his arms around by body and put his head on the side of my stomach.
"You wanna fall asleep in my arms again?" I asked him.
"Yeah," he said quietly.
I picked him up and placed my back against the backboard of the bed. He then wrapped his arms around my body and placed his head on my chest.
"I'll be right here when you wake up, ok?" I said to him.
It wasn't long after the when the other Riolu woke up and looked around. I watched her as she looked tiredly over at us for a moment and placed a hand out to let her know that she could come rest over by us. She slowly made her way over and snuggled up next to me.
"Go back to sleep, young one," I said to her quietly as I rubbed her back.
Once they were asleep, I turned off the side table light, slowly began to drift off to sleep as the rain continued to hit the roof of the house.

Deacon Kandra links to this article from London's Guardian newspaper (London papers are the best) which is a frank article by an atheist father whose daughter has chosen to be baptized.
Our little girl, however, has made a life-defining decision by herself. I couldn't be more proud of her. But I cannot deny that what she said to my wife and I stopped us briefly in our slightly smug, religiously disinterested, bleeding-heart liberal tracks.
What courage had it taken for her to tell us what she wanted? It was clear that our brave, sweet daughter had thought about her faith long and hard.
Looking back, we realised we had regularly discussed our differing beliefs. Our daughter brought us Genesis. We gave her the Michael Bay-friendly Big Bang. She brought us the Nativity and peace and goodwill at Christmas. We gave her family, friends and good food. She brought us the crucifixion. We gave her the Easter Bunny. She brought us heaven, god and an afterlife. We gave her 21st-century life and a brief future as worm fodder.
Read the whole article here.
