Badminton: England ace Ciara earns a Danish date 7:00am Friday 1st March 2013 in Youth Sport By Ian Wadley INTERNATIONAL: Bournemouth's Ciara Lindsay YOUNG badminton star Ciara Lindsay has been tipped for a bright future after again being selected to play on the international stage. Bournemouth Collegiate School (BCS) sports academy member Ciara further enhanced her reputation by being picked to represent England in Denmark in April. Coached by former Commonwealth and European gold medallist Helen Troke, she is regarded as one of the top players in the country for her age. Ciara, who is preparing to compete in the national under-15 championships in Essex this weekend, missed out on an England international appearance in Sweden due to illness earlier this month. However, after winning the girls Double Gold Star National Tournament, she was chosen to make the trip to Denmark later in the year. Troke, who has coached Ciara since she was 10, told Echo Youth Sport: She is one of the b...

February 28, 2013 by Giselle Morris Can we call them the new A-town It Couple? Seems like Ciara and her new boo, rapper Future , are really stepping things up a notch as they are now being spotted out together more and more. Guess theyre taking this leap now, since Future and his baby mama drama has died down a bit. The two were spotted out Tuesday night (Feb 26) in Beverly Hills attending dinner at Mastros, looking just too good as they complimented each other wearing all black. Or maybe is it just CiCi were looking at? A well-dressed Ciara,wearing very little make-up, and a sheer black shirt, a fur throw, leather pants, and of course a pair of Louboutins, looked amazing. Future, dressed in a button downed black shirt, black jeans, and black Timbs, tried to get his grown man look on, and looked pretty dapper. Guess thats not too hard when you have a fashionista like Ciara on your arm. Im sure she gave her boo a few fashion tips, without completely trying to change his look up, becau...

Next up is Ciara, a 7-month-old black and tan Australian cattle dog/Doberman mix who weighs 35 lbs.

Shes a smart girl and has learned some commands such as no, sit and come. She loves toys and treats and shes completely housebroken. Come meet and adopt this sweet girl and give her the forever home she needs and deserves.

Ciara and her rapper boyfriend Future were spotted leaving Mastros Steakhouse arm-in-arm on Tuesday night (Feb. 26) out in Beverly Hills. The couple kept their romantic dinner date really low-key geared up in a matching all black outfits. Ciara donned a sheer black blouse, leather pants and a fur shawl for a finishing accent. Seems like this couple is running strong despite the fact Future tested positive as the father of his 10-year-old son last month. Despite his baby mama drama, the ATL rapper is happy about his new love interest. We love being in the studio with each other, we love being around each other, he recently told a radio show. Thats just what it is. The chemistry is amazing. She makes me happy and I make her smile. Megan Guard

With all the drama and rumors Ciara has publicly endured with her current squeeze rapper Future (and other famous men and their other women), it seems their relationship is picture perfect as the couple was spotted leaving a dinner date from the Mastro's Steakhouse last night in Beverly Hills. Arm in arm, Future (or should we call him Nayvadius Cash for the gentlemanly swag and posh spot hes taking his lady?) escorted CiCi out in his chic all black button up, her fit matching, accessorized with a clutch and fur. Swanky, guys, very swanky!

Irish author Ciara Geraghty (her first name's pronounced "Keira") started writing when she was 34 and hasn't stopped since, despite the advent of children and husband. Ciara writes novels that are light and laced with humour (she rightly rejects the label "chick lit") despite hefty subject matters. Her second novel, Lifesaving for Beginners, is out now - and she kindly answered some questions while in New Zealand as part of a whirlwind book tour. She also gave what is perhaps the best advice about love I've heard for quite a while ("love is in the details"). I like it so much, I've even asterisked* her answer below! In writing your novels, do you draw inspiration from other Irish chick lit writers, like Marian Keyes, for example? I draw inspiration from the fact that Ireland - this little island nation on the outskirts of Europe - is practically falling down with writers. We are a nation of storytellers. When you meet someone on the stre...

Amanda Fish and Ciara Graf are walking on air this week after being named state finalists in the Wisconsin Aviation Art Contest. We found out this Monday. Best start to the week, said Tim Znidarsich, art teacher at Wayne Bartels Middle School in Portage. The students art, with the theme of My Favorite Air Sport, will go on to the national competition next month. Within the intermediate age group, Amanda took second place and Ciara was third in the state. They will receive $75 and $50, respectively, toward art supplies. From the moment I turned it in I thought that it would be too simple, Ciara, 13, said. I really like the ocean, so I wanted to incorporate that. She painted a wind surfer riding angular waves of blue. Although Ciara has yet to try the sport, she said, her dad later told her about a relative in Hawaii that teaches it. Amanda wanted to draw in manga style, she said, which is a form of Japanese comic and cartoons. Manga is different from American cartoons because it has a l...
