Waffles With Writers: Robin Newman (And A Giveaway!)
Welcome to the fifth installment of my bloggy interview show, Waffles with Writers, where I chat with a working writer over a nice, waffle-centric meal.
Today’s guest is the lovely and talented Robin Newman. Her first book, The Case of the Missing Carrot Cake (featuring intrepid mouse detectives Wilcox and Griswold) hit shelves last year to rave reviews and brisk sales. Her new (and similarly lauded) book, Hilde Bitterpickles Needs Her Sleep, is out now.
Robin also, apparently, likes hats.
Hi, Robin! Come on in. I just finished making breakfast. What do you like on your waffles?
Aside from the kitchen sink, Nutella. Everything is better with Nutella — pasta, pizza, artichokes, etc. you name it. At one point, I believe it was even being marketed as a breakfast health food. So one can eat Nutella guilt free!
Fine. Just stop saying Nutella. Also you can take off your comical hat now.
I don’t know what your issue is – among many, many other issues, I might add – with hats. I think it’s important to be one with you characters. Don’t you feel that way? I have photographic evidence that you do…
Where did you –
Listen, what I wear in the privacy of my home is none of your business!
Let’s get started. In addition to being a prolific children’s book writer, you’re also a lawyer. Which fictional movie lawyer would you consider to be your soulmate?
What an interesting question! It would be the feisty, bulldog of an attorney, Amanda Bonner, hands down. In the movie, Adam’s Rib, Katherine Hepburn (Amanda Bonner) and Spencer Tracy (Adam Bonner) play a happily married couple, who end up as opposing counsel in a highly controversial case. My husband is also an attorney, and I could see the two of us on opposite sides of a case — which I would, of course, win.
Wilcox and Griswold are modeled after the greatest TV cops of all time: Dragnet’s Joe Friday and Frank Smith. What drew you to these characters as a source of inspiration?
While I was writing Wilcox and Griswold, my critique group kept telling me that my characters needed to be more detective-y. They needed that deadpan monologue of “give me the facts and just the facts.” As a result, I spent a lot of time watching cop shows—not just Dragnet, although as you can tell, I am a huge fan of the show.
Which TV cop would be the worst inspiration for a children’s book?
I guess it would be the bumbling, corrupt Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane from The Dukes of Hazzard.
Part of the reason I like Wilcox and Griswold is because I’m a big fan of rodents. Your dog, on the other hand, is not. Do you plan to send her to obedience school so you can get a few mice as pets?
I think there’s been a bit of a misunderstanding. My darling, Madeleine, doesn’t hate mice. Au contraire mon frère, she loves them to death! Nothing would make her happier than playing with a mouse, squirrel, or rabbit. But for some odd reason, they don’t seem to stick around when she’s in the neighborhood. Perhaps it’s the rodents who could benefit from a class on etiquette.
I beg your pardon! Rodents have perfect etiquette. Even Pizza Rat took dainty little bites.
Your new book, Hilde Bitterpickles Needs Her Sleep, is about a young witch who is forced to cope with a bunch of noisy fairy tale neighbors. Which fairy tale characters would you want to live next door to?
This is an easy one. I’ve been a bit obsessed with the big bad wolf and the three little pigs for as long as I can remember. I would love to have them as neighbors. We could grab cappuccinos and discuss how I could incorporate them into one of my stories. We could do a spin class together at the gym. Hey, I wonder if they do babysitting.
As a children’s book writer, I’m sure you peruse the shelves at Barnes and Noble to see what else is out there. Which picture book dazzled you to the point where you heard yourself say, “I wish I had written that!”
There are many, many books I wish I had written, but if I had to narrow it down to a recent selection, I would have to say, Mother Bruce by Ryan T. Higgins. Hysterical.
For the past several years, you’ve used your blog to write open letters to Santa Claus. Has he given you what you wanted? What’s still on your Christmas list?
Santa has been very generous with me over the last few years. But like I always say to my husband, there’s room for improvement. This past Christmas I asked Santa for 10 publishing contracts, and he said I was asking for too many. Can you believe that? You don’t think that’s too many, do you?
Not at all.
It’s a nice even number. It’s not like I was greedy and asking for 100 contracts, although that too is a very nice even number. I also always ask him to help my friends find agents, get them publishing contracts, and I do my annual plug for world peace and an end to hunger, poverty, and disease. He seems to be working on all of those items. Maybe I should write him now to beat the end of the year letter rush?
Maybe I should put in a letter to Santa, too. Thanks again for visiting, Robin! Don’t forget your hat.
Mike, thanks for the invite and the reminder about my hat. By the way, does your bonnet come in different colors?
No. Only white. White makes me feel pretty.
Do you want to win a free copy of Hilde Bitterpickes Needs Her Sleep?
Of course you do.
Leave a comment before Monday, February 22, and you’ll be entered in the drawing! The winner will be announced on Tuesday, February 23.
Good luck and get commenting!
Win a Doodle!
I like blog contests. I like doodling. And I like that many of you like my doodles.
I think you can see where I’m going with this.
Here’s a chance to win your very own custom made doodle!
That’s right! If you win, I will doodle whatever you want.
Don’t believe me? Here’s proof:
I do not like cats. I am allergic to cats. I chase feral cats off of my lawn. I regularly keep rodents (aka cat prey) as pets.
Last year, however, I promised Jilanne Hoffmann’s punk kid that I would give him a custom made doodle.
He wanted a cat.
He got his cat.*
HOW TO WIN
The winning name will be randomly drawn from a hat. The fellow drawing the name will be this guy:
He is fair, impartial, and lovably weird.
HOW TO ENTER
To get your name in the hat, all you need to do is leave an Interesting Tidbit about yourself in the comments section below.
I know “interesting” is a relative term, so let me give you an idea of what I’m looking for:
NOT Interesting: “My favorite color is orange.”
TOO Interesting “I once killed a mailman with a hammer.”
Go for something in between those two extremes, okay?
HOW TO INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING
You can get your name in the hat more than once by liking my writerfellow Facebook page.
As you will see, my numbers there are pathetic. I have 1,000 blog followers and not even 75 likes on Facebook? It’s ridiculous!
So if you like the Facebook page (or have liked the page already) I’ll put your name in the hat twice.
HOW TO FURTHER INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING
Well, now you’re just getting greedy. Play fair.
Your Interesting Tidbit is due on or before March 10.
The winner will be announced in a blog post on March 11.
The completed doodle will be posted on my blog. The original drawing will be mailed to the winner.
*That said, because I am a children’s book author, I am going to retain the right to refuse any doodle request that is pervy. So there.
So get commenting (and Facebook liking)!

Maxwell, Marsh rescue Aussies
Glenn Maxwell was denied a maiden international century but his highest and probably best innings for Australia has rescued the team from early trouble and steered them to a highly competitive 8-278 during the tri-series one-day final at the WACA Ground.
Brutal innings from Maxwell (95), Mitch Marsh (60) and James Faulkner (50 not out) set Australia up for victory in just their third meeting with England in a one-off final.
But the bigger issue surrounds captain George Bailey's position in the World Cup team after another failure with the bat.
Bailey fell for two from 17 painful deliveries to continue a barren run that has brought just 47 runs in his past six innings.
Bailey's only half century in the past five months and 14 knocks was his 70 against South Africa at the WACA at the start of the summer when he was dropped four times and battled for any fluency.
The continued emergence of Steven Smith, whose 40 gave him 1249 international runs this summer, and Michael Clarke's return to fitness may squeeze Bailey out of the team early in the World Cup campaign.
Marsh's hamstring injury over the past month reduced the pressure on Bailey but the powerful all-rounder underlined his rare value with a powerful 60, including a massive six onto the western bank, during a century stand with Maxwell.
Maxwell was unruffled in reaching 50 in 64 balls then accelerated with a violent barrage that took him to 95 before he skied a top edge off Stuart Broad.
Marsh had the chance for his own first hundred but was run out by a Jos Buttler direct hit when Brad Haddin called him through for a second run.
There were seven overs still to bowl and Marsh appeared poised for a significant onslaught.
His replacement was Faulkner and he clobbered 50 from 24 deliveries, including a sequence of 6, 4, 6 and 6 in a Chris Woakes over and another six from the final ball of the innings to reach his half-century.
James Anderson produced a peach of an out-swinger in the opening over to have Aaron Finch nicking to slip for a duck.
It was the first time in 43 one-dayers at the WACA that Australia had been 1-0.
Fellow opener David Warner soon popped an Anderson lifter to point while Bailey was unconvincing against a Stuart Broad short ball that he fended to the close catcher.
Smith played several sparkling drives and whips before being stumped in Moeen Ali's first over as he launched down the pitch but missed his attempt to turn the ball to leg.
Buttler fumbled the take but Smith had given up and the keeper had enough time to scramble a stumping.
England's key bowlers Anderson and Broad tuned up for the World Cup with impressive spells though Woakes had a less memorable match, his 0-89 being the most expensive return at the WACA.

This subject will allow students to gain a deeper understanding of the processes governing the geological evolution of the Earth. This will be achieved via the lecture series, practical sessions and a four-day field trip, providing hands-on and theoretical investigations employing Victoria’s geology.
Initial topics covered in this subject include minerals, rocks and fossils.
The subject continues on to cover the topics of structural, metamorphic and economic aspects of our regional geology.
These studies are integrated with field case studies, during a four day field trip to collect fossils, rocks and minerals that are used to interpret the geological evolution of the region.
On completion of this subject, students should understand and be able to identify the basic components that make up planet Earth; comprehend the diversity of the rock-forming minerals, the processes by which rocks form and evolve; the use of structural geology in interpreting the relationships between rock units in time and space; the contribution of palæontology to the study of evolution; and climate change over geological time. Students should appreciate the contribution of geology to the interpretation of the history of planet Earth.
Intended learning outcomes
This subject builds upon the theoretical big picture approach of ERTH10001 The Global Environment. It provides greater depth to many of the topics introduced in ERTH10001 The Global Environment using geological studies to a gain an understanding of the evolution of the Melbourne and Victorian environment.
On completion of this subject students should appreciate how different types of data, samples and observations are integrated to interpret Earth processes. Students should also have begun to develop practical skills in the acquisition of data in the field and laboratory, essential to unravelling such processes.
On completion of this subject students should be able to apply their discipline knowledge to issues of public debate. These include the ozone hole, the greenhouse effect and sea level rise. The subject will provide experience in presenting technical topics in written form, a skill that is useful in later work. Students will also participate in some simple collaborative projects that will enable them to develop skills for the design and completion of technical experiments. Other generic skills acquired in this subject include learning how to sharpen observation skills and how to grapple with unravelling complex processes.

All Canadians evacuated from Wuhan released from quarantine at CFB Trenton
OTTAWA -- Canada's top health official has released the final 195 Canadians and their families who were brought home from Wuhan, China after two weeks of observation for the novel coronavirus.
All the Wuhan evacuees were quarantined at Canadian Forces Base Trenton for 14 days -- the presumed incubation period of the virus -- to be isolated and observed for signs of the disease now called COVID-19.
A group of 219 evacuees were allowed to leave the base last week after passing a final round of health screening.
Chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam says none of the evacuees from Wuhan showed any signs of the virus, and they do not pose a risk of transmitting the disease when they return to their homes.
The government has offered to transport the evacuees to Toronto, where they will make their way to their homes.
Tam says the risk of the coronavirus spreading within Canada is still low.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 25, 2020

Her parents are surgeon Anthony Mitra and Nora Downey who has additional two sons; Jason and Guyana. On the maternal side, Rhona is Irish, while on the paternal side, she is Bengali Indian.
Later in 1984, Rhona’s parents eventually filed for a divorce which led to her attending boarding school but unfortunately, Rhona alongside the all-girls school Roedean in Brighton was expelled.
At that point in her life, she stated, “I was expelled for stealing a student’s automobile and driving it to the neighborhood boys’ school. I was just fourteen years old.
I hid stuffing below my bedclothes, but one of my classmates found out, and the headmistress found me. To punish me, they barricaded the windows of this chamber and placed me there.
I had my dinner delivered in on trays while being confined there for an entire week with only a rosary for solace.”
Rhona made her television debut in an episode of “Ghostbusters of East Finchley” in 1995; she then made a cameo appearance on the British police drama “The Bill” (1996).

She performed Tabatha Wadmore-Smith in the romantic comedy starring Reese Witherspoon called “Sweet Home Alabama,” which brought in $180.6 million on a $30 million budget.
In the 2007 thriller “The Number 23,” Rhona costarred with Jim Carrey. She played Tara Wilson on the ABC legal drama “The Practice” from 2003 to 2004, and she then made 20 appearances on the spin-off “Boston Legal” the following year.
She also starred in the same year’s USA Network miniseries “Spartacus,” and in 2005, she played Kit McGraw on the FX medical drama “Nip/Tuck.”
She portrayed Sonja in “Underworld: Rise of the Lycans” in 2009, and she also had appearances in “Separation City” and “Stolen.”
In 2011 she portrayed Claire Radcliff in the supernatural crime drama “The Gates” on ABC and Commander Kiva in three episodes of Syfy’s “Stargate Universe.”
Reuniting the Rubins (2010), The Loft (2014), Hard Target 2 (2016), and Crisis Point on television all featured Rhona in cameo roles (2012). She played Maj. Rachel Dalton in the spy thriller “Strike Back” from 2012 to 2013.
She played Dr. Rachel Scott on Michael Bay’s action-drama series “The Last Ship” from 2014 to 2015, and she currently has recurring appearances as Charlotte on FX’s “The Strain” (2017) and Mercy Graves on The CW’s “Supergirl.” (2018).
Recent appearances by Rhona Mitra include “Game Over, Man!,” “The Fight,” “Archive,” “Skylines,” and “The Other Me” (2022). She was cast as Captain Ava Stone, the main character, in the sci-fi horror film “The Experiment” in September 2022.
For her work in “Underworld: Rise of the Lycans,” Mitra was nominated for a Scream Award in 2009.
She was included among the cast of “Boston Legal” who was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award in 2006 for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
An approximately 2,600-square-foot house in Venice, California, was purchased by Mitra for $979,000 in 2003.
She marketed the three-bedroom, three-bath home in 2017 for $2.55 million.

text: Decorating with numbers is something I have been into for awhile now. I have several different numbers, in different forms, around our house. It all started when I bought an antique demijohn for my husband for our anniversary one year, and because it was our 20th, I wanted to incorporate the year somehow. I found a cute little vintage hotel room badge with the number 92 on it and I hung it on the bottle. That was it! After that, I was off and running. Since then, I’ve added some 3’s (the number of kids we have), 5’s (the number in our family) and several more 92’s. My husband even got me an antique French street sign with a 92 on it for another anniversary. For whatever reason, I love the feeling I get when I look across the room and see one of these! But really, I see a lot of numbers around now; it seems to fit the vintage/farmhouse aesthetic, not to mention the fact that the Pottery Barns and Home Goods of the world sell them in different iterations. I love it when I see my significant numbers used in different little ways around the house, but I also love numbered baskets, or large numbers on a wall in a play room, or a favorite number displayed in a kid’s bedroom. Like letters in decor (you can read my post about that here), they can be used in so many ways and add such charm to a space.


Wino and Conny Ochs-Heavy Kingdom
Exile on Mainstream
Veteran vocalist/guitarist Scott "Wino" Weinrich is no stranger different projects having played with Saint Vitus, the Obsesseed, Hidden Hand and many more. So now he has a new solo album or rather a duo project with Conny Ochs. Wino and Ochs during the tour for Wino's Adrift when Ochs was the opening act. The two realized they had some things in common and begin working on material. This album picks up on the acoustic path that Wino started on 2010's Adrift. Although this album has a cleaner almost live in the same room kind of quality. The music and vocals will transport back to a simpler time. Most of the tracks are stripped down to the bone. This is about as basic as it gets with just vocals and a guitar. So no fancy effects just song writing and a performance in a pretty pure form. That recipe works just fine for these two musicians as they just go with the emotions and let the songs flow on these eleven tracks. Now this probably isn't an album that everyone will want to listen to at all time, but the pure power shines through in most of their performances. There are however some shortcomings. One is that follows "Adrift" and while this album is similar in style it lacks the depth of the previous album. The other major problem is that some of the song sound very similar. Overall a very decent effort.

Today is Merdeka day. 52 years on since that fateful day in 1957, Malaysia has grown from an undeveloped backwater to a vibrant modern country. I say this with no disrespect to our New Zealand hosts, but Malaysia has surpassed NZ in terms of economic, physical and infrastructural development. This development has come with environmental degradation but I think people are starting to realise that a pragmatic balance between human needs and environmental conservation must be struck if we want our country to continue to prosper. We still lack behind NZ in terms of social development and mindset, but we are getting there.
Malaysia is a unique country. 52 years ago, our founding fathers of all races were bonded together in a marriage of convenience in order to gain freedom from our colonial masters. I would go so far as to say that it was a shotgun wedding. Naturally, there had been, and will continue to be disagreements, arguments and pain. Think about it. When we were younger, I am sure that we have had fights with our siblings. I never failed to get into fistfights everyday with my younger brother. This was between our own flesh and blood, not even other people from different races and cultures. Yet, at the end of the day, we are brothers, sailors of the same ship.
Having said that, we must also remember the fragile nature of our country’s socio-political climate. Our continued economic development depends on a stable environment and this must be preserved with utmost effort. I do not subscribe to the principle of “absolute freedom of speech” that many Western countries like to claim they practice. From what I have seen, the West, like on many other issues are “cakap tak bikin serupa” when it comes to this. There are many irresponsible Malaysians who are stoking the fires of hatred, conveniently ignoring the Social Contract that our founding fathers agreed to. Sensitive issues like religion and race must be approached with caution and tact. Malaysia is not Britain or America or Europe. We have our own historical, cultural and political mold and should not mindlessly ape whatever the West purportedly claim to be. I am also dismayed that some who are my fellow Muslims, have taken to insulting the Prophet Muhammad and Islam in general, just to advance their political views. One high-profile person of somewhat royal-lineage, whom I shall not name, has taken this route and thus, in my opinion, Muslims should view him with extreme suspicion.
We must always be mindful of what we say in public. It is one thing to have personal views on something; it is another to say it out loud. We must weigh the consequences of our actions before acting. There is a Malay proverb that goes: terlajak perahu boleh diundur, terlajak kata badan binasa. The last phrase refers to “badan”, meaning human body. I would extend this concept of body to the social body, the people of Malaysia too. I apologize for the political nature of this post. Yet, when dealing with Merdeka, I can not help but to be political.

After a very slow start to my week, I feel like I'm making some progress.
This is the newest project I'm working on. This shows the details.
This one is showing the colors more true. I'm stitching on white, so I decided to use one strand of white and one strand of the lightest shade of grey I could find.
Thank you for stopping by,
Wishing you a creative day.

As we near the end of our 2022 NFL Draft profile series, we take a look at a safety who might be in play for Tampa Bay as a potential long-term partner for Antoine Winfield Jr.
The Bucs hit a home run when they selected Antoine Winfield Jr. in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Given his play over the last two years—including a Pro Bowl season in 2021—he already looks primed to receive a second contract in Tampa Bay. But with the departure of Jordan Whitehead this offseason, the team is currently without a long-term partner for Winfield at the safety position.
With Whitehead now a member of the New York Jets, the Bucs have a few potential fill-ins for 2022. The team went to free agency for some help, bringing both Logan Ryan and Keanu Neal aboard on one-year deals to join Winfield and Mike Edwards at the safety position. But with Ryan likely to play more snaps in the slot, Neal not far removed from some major injuries (and one year removed from playing linebacker in Dallas) and Edwards in a contract year, Tampa Bay might look to the NFL Draft for a long-term option to play alongside Winfield.
One of the few guys from this year’s safety class whose name seems to be popping up in connection with the Bucs is the hard-hitting Lewis Cine out of Georgia. Today, we focus our penultimate draft profile on the 2022 national champion.
LEWIS CINE’S COLLEGIATE CAREER
Cine’s journey to the NFL has certainly been a special one, as he was born in Haiti and grew up in Florida before moving to both Massachusetts and then Texas during his high school career. As a 247 Sports composite four-star recruit out of Trinity Christian School in Cedar Hill, Texas, Cine had 36 scholarship offers and chose to sign with Georgia over the likes of Texas, Ohio State, Michigan, Florida, Alabama, Auburn and Clemson. That turned out to be a fantastic choice, as he went on to have a great career with the Bulldogs—a career that was capped off with a national title win over Alabama earlier this year.
As a freshman in 2019, Cine played in all 14 of the Bulldogs’ games, starting two. He totaled 20 tackles (15 solo), 0.5 tackles for loss, an interception and three passes defended. During Georgia’s Peach Bowl-winning season in 2020, Cine posted 52 tackles (38 solo), one tackle for loss and three passes defended in 10 games.
It was Cine’s junior year—2021—that he really took off and hit the national spotlight. He was a key player in Georgia’s national championship run, finishing the season with 73 tackles (43 solo), two tackles for loss, an interception and 10 passes defended in 15 games. In the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, he tallied seven tackles, one tackle for loss and a pass breakup on his way to being named the game’s defensive MVP.
Cine’s performance as a junior earned him a Third-Team All-American nod from the Associated Press, as well as AP All-SEC First Team and Coaches’ All-SEC Second Team honors. Not to mention, he was a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, which is given to the nation’s top defensive back.
Following Georgia’s championship season, Cine declared for the NFL Draft, foregoing his senior season in Athens.
PRO DAY AND NFL SCOUTING COMBINE
Cine was impressive at the NFL Scouting Combine back in March, running the 40-yard dash in 4.37 seconds—the fifth-best time of any safety in the 2022 class. His 36.5-inch vertical was the seventh-best among safeties, while his 133-inch broad jump was the top mark for the position. Pro Football Focus’ Michael Renner named Cine as the safety who came away from Indianapolis as the biggest winner.
At Georgia’s Pro Day in mid-March, Cine once again posted a 37-inch vertical. His measurables on the whole make it easy to understand why he’s so highly regarded heading into this year’s Draft.
Cine possesses exceptional height and overall length for a safety entering the NFL, and he hits harder than his weight might indicate. The Bucs will certainly like the hard-hitting aspect of his game, especially as they search for Jordan Whitehead’s replacement. Just last week, ESPN’s Jenna Laine reported that Tampa Bay brought Cine in for one of its top-30 visits:
The Bucs hosted Georgia safety and 2022 national championship defensive MVP Lewis Cine for a top-30 visit, per source. I asked GM Jason Licht if signing Logan Ryan and Keanu Neal precluded them from drafting a safety and he said, “No.”
— JennaLaineESPN (@JennaLaineESPN) April 20, 2022
WHAT CINE CAN DO FOR THE Bucs IN 2022
On the surface, Tampa Bay’s safety room looks crowded heading into 2022. With Winfield, Edwards, Ryan and Neal all figuring into the picture in some form or fashion, it might feel difficult to see Cine being a key contributor in year one. However, don’t be so sure. Ryan is likely to see a lot of snaps at nickel, while Neal is bound to be moved all around the field (though to be fair, Todd Bowles moves all of his safeties around, doesn’t he?).
So, that leaves Winfield and Edwards as the presumptive starting safeties. With that in mind—and with the way Bowles will likely use the other two—Cine may very well slot into the role that Edwards occupied the last two years—a rotational safety that can step in and make plays when he’s needed. Cine is an exceptional run defender. As The Athletic’s Dane Brugler said:
“He is at his best as a physical run defender, running the alley like a freight train and tuning up his target.”
But don’t let the fact that he’s a strong run defender make you think he lacks range in pass coverage. He’s a smart player with good instincts and discipline. Bowles would find a way to get him on the field in advantageous positions during his rookie season, and at the very least, he’d be promising depth with high upside and the potential to assume a starting role in 2023. Not to mention, he could add significant value as a special teamer.
While Cine could improve his hands and develop a bit more reliability in coverage on the whole, it’s easy to envision him becoming a quality starter within the first few years of his NFL career. Georgia head coach Kirby Smart once said that Cine “has all the qualities” that a coach would look for when designing a safety. It’s not difficult to see that when you watch his game, especially when it comes to his toughness.
With the Bucs letting Whitehead leave in free agency this offseason, the addition of Cine could very well give them their safety duo of the future. Winfield’s range and ball skills combined with Cine’s violent tackling ability against the run would give Bowles exactly what he needs in the back end of his defense for the foreseeable future. In fact, Diante Lee’s recent mock draft for The Athletic goes as far as naming Cine “Tampa Bay’s turbo-charged Jordan Whitehead replacement.”
Given that Ryan and Neal are on one-year contracts, the Bucs would be wise to look toward the future at the safety position. How Edwards performs in 2022—and whether or not the Bucs re-sign him heading into 2023—could impact Cine’s three-year outlook, but it’s unlikely. Cine offers a different skill set than Edwards. And really, the idea of Winfield, Edwards and Cine as the team’s safety trio for years to come feels like an intriguing one.
Cine is widely regarded as one of the top three safety’s in this year’s draft class. Brugler projects him as the No. 33 overall prospect, projecting him to go in the first or second round. The analysts at The Draft Network gave Cine a consensus grade of 82.83 out of a possible 100, which translates to a second-round value.
The former Georgia standout is showing up in the first round in just 14.6% of mock drafts, according to his NFL Mock Draft Database profile. However, this draft class as a whole isn’t believed to possess 32 clear-cut first-round picks. That leaves room for a team picking in the late 20s—like the Bucs—or early 30s a bit of wiggle room.
That could mean selecting a player ahead of his projected draft position to avoid losing out on him before getting back on the clock in the second round, or it could mean trading back with hopes of taking that player and picking up more picks in the process. In the Bucs’ case, that means selecting Cine with the No. 27 pick or trying to trade down to the end of the first round or early second round to select him. For what it’s worth, Cine has been mocked to the Bucs in the first round by Sports Illustrated, Pro Football Focus and FOX Sports in recent weeks.

The Residents of Pathankot in Punjab had a frightening start to the New Year; they woke up to gun shots and explosions near the air force base of Pathankot. Terrorists carried out a ‘Fidayeen’ attack at the Indian Air Force (IAF) base on Saturday (2nd January).
In a pre-dawn attack, a group of heavily-armed terrorists, suspected to belong to Jaish-e-Mohammed outfit, struck at the IAF base, leading to a fierce gun-battle in which seven security brave hearts were martyred, and several injured along with six attackers killed. Importantly, the combing operation is still in continuance.
According to the reports, the attackers came to Pathankot in two cars and probably crossed the border on 30 December, 2015. The security establishment was already on alert as they had been intimated by an SP of Punjab Police after he was abducted by a group of armed men in Army uniform the previous night.
The attack was launched soon after a combing operation was carried out by the army on Friday in the area between Air base installation and Chakki River. All terrorists suspected to be from Pakistan, breached a high security area and entered the IAF base to carry out a Fidayeen attack.
The technical area, where the IAF’s MIG-21 fighter jets, MI-35 attack helicopters and other critical assets were stationed remained secured, but under the continuous treat.
Security agencies, including the Army, National Security Guards (NSG), Indian Air Force, para-military forces and Punjab Police are involved in the massive search operation inside the IAF base and the nearby areas.
Pathankot terror attack strikes at heart of Indian PM Modi’s peacemaking process with Pakistan, who went across to Lahore on his personal initiative popularly known as the Birthday Diplomacy. The attack, which is second in Punjab in just few months, is also likely to lead to sharp attacks on Prime Minister’s outreach to Pakistan from the opposition parties.

By BBN Staff: Last year Condé Nast Traveller, a luxury travel magazine based in England, published several travel writing pieces advising travelers looking for various types of adventures that Belize was the place to be. The magazine ended 2019 with one such article and this year Condé Nast Traveller keeps that momentum with its first travel writing piece on Belize for 2020 entitled “Where to Find Belize’s Adventurous Side, From Snorkeling to Hiking.”
The article puts Belize’s best foot forward to European travelers, highlighting major tourist attractions in various parts of the country including San Pedro, and Placencia, and goes even further by highlighting specific places to stay such as Chan Chich Lodge and Hidden Valley Inn.
The feature marks the fourth piece Conde Nast has written about Belize in less than two months, indicating Belize’s further expansion into European tourism market. Last year the magazine featured Belize on its Top 10 gold List for Hotels, and listed the Caracol archaeological site as one of its “7 Wonders of the World.”

A father and son accused of raping a teenage girl over a three-year period and keeping her shackled in a basement have made it clear that they don’t have faith in the law or in the people who practice it.
When they face an Ohio jury as they defend themselves against criminal charges that carry long prison sentences, they will rely on one book: The Bible.
During a hearing Friday, the Ciboros made the unusual request of having access to the Bible, which they plan to cite as they defend themselves in front of a jury. The Bible, Esten Ciboro told a judge, is “the only law book that truly matters,” the Toledo Blade reported.
“There’s a great deal of strategy in Scripture and I use those strategies in everything I do,” Esten Ciboro told the judge, according to the Toledo Blade’s coverage of the hearing. “It’s a vital part of everything I do.”
Timothy Ciboro said he and his son intend to “use God’s holy word to ask questions, questions that we believe are absolutely vital to our case,” the paper reported.

Over the coming few days, I am going to attempt to keep you all updated on the thrills and spills of the Weird Weekend. For us, day one of the event was yesterday – Wednesday.
We were expecting the arrival of one of our star speakers – Grigoriy Panchenko from the Ukraine. He was flying from Hannover to Zurich and then from Zurich to Birmingham – due to arrive at just gone 1.00 pm. Lisa had offered to pick him up from the airport on the way down from Manchester.
That morning, Jon, Richard and I were due in Barnstaple to give a radio interview for BBC Radio Devon at 11.00 am before going off to do various bits of last minute shopping – including some food for the evening – before the arrival of our guest.
We were just eating a hurried lunch in the car, before attempting to negotiate the crush around Morrison’s for our last shopping task of the day, when Lisa telephoned to say that there was still no sight of Grigoriy. This was very worrying, especially as it was now around one and a half hours since his flight had landed. Lisa had put a call out for him – but with no success. Also – due to the stringent data protection laws – try as she might, Lisa could get no information out of any of the airport staff as to whether our guest was indeed on British soil yet.
The trip to Morrisons was abandoned – and we rushed back to base, whereupon we set about trying to ascertain what, if any, information we could find out by telephoning various airlines, airports etc etc.
My allotted task was to phone Birmingham and see if I could persuade them to let us have information that they would not normally divulge. This, I knew, to basically be an impossible task as they have the laws to uphold, and although Jon was expecting me to put on my worried, concerned wife-at-home, voice I didn’t, in the end, actually have to. The lady I spoke to was, in truth, most helpful – she understood the situation and asked me to ring back in ten minutes whilst she contacted Immigration to see if our visitor was being held up there. I was extremely grateful for her helpfulness, as I am no actor – yes I have performed to an audience – but that was many years ago and I am not sure that dancing on point whilst wearing a tutu would actually get me very far down the telephone anyway.
Time went by and I duly telephoned again – but, unfortunately, she confirmed that Grigoriy was not there. Now this posed a big problem – there seemed to be four possibilities: he had changed his mind, he had suffered an accident, he had missed his connecting flight or he had missed Lisa and had wandered off into the bowels of Birmingham Airport – perhaps even to find a taxi to bring him all the way down to North Devon!
What on earth were we going to do?
The Data Protection Act is there to protect people like you and me from the weirdos wandering around out there, but in situations like this it can work against you – big time.
Poor Lisa was still stuck at Birmingham Airport – she had been there since 11.30 that morning don’t forget – and was getting no luck at all with bureaucracy on site.
This, however, is where it all changed. I suppose if I was poetic I would write something along the lines of – ‘the dark clouds lifted and the sun sent its warming rays upon our aching heads’.
The very helpful lady at Birmingham Airport gave us a number for the Swiss airline on the off chance that they may be able to help shed a little more light on the problem. She warned us that they would probably not be able to divulge names etc., but it was another number to contact.
I explained the situation again, this time to the lady down the other end of the telephone at the airline. She asked me the flight details, times, name of passenger etc and, believe it or not – and I had to check this with her a couple of times as I could not believe it myself – she actually confirmed that Grigoriy had missed his connecting flight (for ‘whatever reason’) and was on the next one – due to arrive at Birmingham at 18.15 that evening. It was so easy! If only we had had access to this particular number in the first place! As I say, they were so helpful, I had to check again that she was really confirming that he was on the next flight.
Lisa was informed – poor lass would have to remain at the Airport for another three hours or so – but at least we had located our missing Ukrainian! Our thanks go to Swiss Airlines!
At 9.45 yesterday evening, Lisa and Grigoriy arrived at CFZHQ to a resounding cheer of relief, and heartfelt thanks to Lisa.
It transpired that Grigoriy had missed his connecting flight at Zurich because he had set off a security alert! Now, Mr. Panchenko is a quiet, unassuming man – and not one you would think would set off such an alarm. However, he was carrying, in his pockets, a pair of metal hand exercisers (I am not sure what the correct technical term is) and these had set off the alarm at the airport. Poor soul.
Our other star speaker, Peter Robbins, and our old friend, Larry Warren, had said that they would arrive early this morning – however, we were not expecting early to mean 5.00 am! LOL - yikes!
There really is never a dull moment at the CFZ!

Adolescents who got the Pfizer shot, which was approved by the CDC for the age group Wednesday, said they were relieved and excited to safely hang out with other kids.
“It was nice getting the vaccine, I felt relief,” said Daisy Munoz, 12, who got the shot at the Javits Center in Manhattan. “I’m excited to go to sleep away camp this summer now.”
Her mom, Lexi, said getting the vaccination, “felt like a really big moment.”
Kalen Mcbrian, a 12-year-old from the Upper West Side, said he felt a new sense of freedom.
“I feel great!” he said. “I won’t be trapped in my apartment anymore and can do more things now that I got the shot… I can’t wait to go back to school and see my friends.”
Other youngsters were thrilled at the prospect of ditching their masks.
“It’s been, like, a decade of COVID and I’m so excited we’re closer to being done with it. I’m excited not to wear a mask and eat inside,” said 12-year-old Madeline.
At Empire Outlets mall on Staten Island, over half of the people who showed up to the vaccination site as of Thursday afternoon were ages 12 to 15, said Nicole Stambolis, director of the site.
“It is a good turn out [that] we expect to get even busier,” she said.

President Nixon with Chinese Premier Chou En-lai at a banquet in Shanghai, February 28, 1972.
STOP, LOOK, LISTEN! by Kathy Sherretts
Well, THAT went well.
Leaving behind the smoking ruins of the G7 summit, President Trump is now off to meet with the difficult leader of an isolated and potentially dangerous foreign power. I just listened to a podcast about a parallel situation: Richard Nixon’s trip to China in 1972. John Dickerson details the long and careful diplomacy that led up to the event, and the president’s meticulous preparation for his meeting with Premier Chou En-lai.
Even Nixon is looking pretty good these days.

During the last few years, I discovered just how important spirituality is. Between the law of attraction and affirmations, all the way to mindfulness and gratitude, you start feeling centered, more in the moment. And perhaps most importantly, you start truly living and being in control of your life, rather than pondering over the past or fearing the future. These mindfulness and gratitude quotes are here to help inspire you to get there.
What Is Mindfulness? How to be Mindful?
Mindfulness is the art of being in the present moment, without labeling it. You don’t judge the moment (or thought) as good, bad, dull, annoying, exciting – you simply let it be there, knowing it’s just a moment in time. Like any other moment, it will pass and make room for another moment.
And while that may sound like you’re taking all the fun out of life, when done just a couple of minutes a day, it helps your mental health. Being mindful makes you less anxious, something I’ve been struggling with throughout my entire pregnancy. And once you get into the practice, even when you’re not sitting with your knees crossed and meditating, you start being more mindful. You start noticing the sounds, the smells, the touch, the taste, appreciating them far more.

The little things? The little moments? They aren’t little. — Jon Kabat-Zinn
The best way to capture moments is to pay attention. This is how we cultivate mindfulness. — Jon Kabat-Zinn
The present moment is the only time over which we have dominion. — Thích Nhất Hạnh

If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath. — Amit Ray
Don’t believe everything you think. Thoughts are just that – thoughts. — Allan Lokos

What is Gratitude? How to Practice It?
Gratitude is often confused with simply being thankful for what you have. And while they really are similar, gratitude runs deeper than a simple “thanks”. It’s an act of truly appreciating what you’ve been given, down to the smallest things we often take for granted. Next time you lay in your bed, feel the softness of the mattress, the warmth of the blanket, and express gratitude for having them – not everyone does. Or start a gratitude diary, and each morning write three things you’re grateful for. It will make your day much better and have you start it on a more positive note.
“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” — Oprah Winfrey
“Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” – Eckhart Tolle
“I may not be where I want to be, but I’m thankful for not being where I used to be.” — Habeeb Akande
“Gratitude opens your eyes to the limitless potential of the universe, while dissatisfaction closes your eyes to it.” — Stephen Richards
“Forget yesterday-it has already forgotten you. Don’t sweat tomorrow–you haven’t even met. Instead, open your eyes and your heart to a truly precious gift–today.” — Steve Maraboli
“Whatever you appreciate and give thanks for will increase in your life.” — Sanaya Roman
“When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.” — Willie Nelson
“If a fellow isn’t thankful for what he’s got, he isn’t likely to be thankful for what he’s going to get.” — Frank A. Clark
“Gratitude opens the door to the power, the wisdom, the creativity of the universe. You open the door through gratitude.” — Deepak Chopra
“Be grateful for what you have, work hard for what you don’t have.” — Unknown

The IntrudersBook - 2006
Joel Demetrius is looking forward to moving in with his new stepfamily, but as far as his sister Cassie's concerned, they're nothing but intruders. Cassie doesn't want anything to do with their mother's fiancé and his two sons, and to make matters worse their new home is a rotting old heap, neglected for decades. Joel thinks it's interesting; Cassie thinks it's a dump. But as fascinated as he is by the place, Joel has to admit there's something not quite right about it. Not only does he keep seeing things out of the corner of his eye, but strangely realistic nightmares are keeping him awake. And now day is becoming just as horrifying as night. Joel's nightmares are developing into blood-drenched hallucinations and the others are starting to feel the same strange presence from his dreams. As the events in the house gradually become harder to explain, the line between nightmare and reality is beginning to blur--and now all four teenagers are starting to wonder just who the intruders really are.

A bill co-sponsored by local S.C. Sen. Shane Massey looks to transform state government, but details must be hashed out in conference committee before it can be moved forward in 2014.
The proposal would dissolve much of the authority of the state’s Budget and Control Board, a five-member panel that controls a variety of the state’s budgetary functions.
Currently, the Board operates as an executive body with the authority to approve state agency spending, including whether agencies can run deficits or borrow money.
The restructuring measure failed in the Senate at the end of the past two-year legislative session, leaving it to be reintroduced for the General Assembly’s 2013-2014 session.
Massey said the bill would strip authority from the Board, giving more executive-related functions to the governor, while adding more oversight authority to the legislature.
The governor, treasurer and comptroller general serve on the Board, as well as the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Massey added that the proposal has gained bipartisan support, including from the governor, particularly since it would delineate power in a more sensible way and make government more accountable.
“Every time I talk about the Budget and Control Board on the Senate floor, I refer to it as a shadow government because it doesn’t really matter what we pass in the budget. If they want to spend more money, they can do it,” Massey said.
As an example, he pointed to the Board’s decision to borrow $20 million from the state’s insurance reserve fund to pay for bills associated with the hacking of taxpayer’s personal data in 2012.
“It was really just a creative way to run a deficit without calling it a deficit,” he said about the Board’s decision. The restructuring bill as it stands now would prevent deficits as well as interagency loans to be permitted without legislative approval.
Massey noted that by giving more review power to the legislature, it brings added transparency to state government, especially since the legislature rarely holds oversight hearings.
“It doesn’t mean the legislature would micromanage. We’re getting away from that. But the legislature does need to know what’s going on, and we need to make sure money is being spent appropriately and that policies are being carried out the way the law intends.”
The proposal would see the creation of a cabinet-level agency known as the Department of Administration, which would receive most of the executive duties of the Board.
Even though the General Assembly has adjourned for 2013, the plan can still be considered when the legislature reconvenes next January without having to be reintroduced.
Despite the idea failing in the past, Massey said he’s more confident that the proposal could gain traction due to the legislation’s bipartisan appeal and a different makeup in the legislature after the 2010 and 2012 elections.

Music Box DJs, Andrea and Chris felt the love at Nick and Bob Dziurda’s wedding on Saturday, September 6th. The Dziurda’s wedding took place at the magnificent Crofoot ballroom in downtown Pontiac, Michigan. A Music Box DJ since 2005, Andrea expressed that she has never felt such a strong connection with clients as she did with Nick and Bob.
Andrea suspected that Nick and Bob’s wedding was going to be EPIC from their very first meeting. During their pre-wedding planning, Andrea and the grooms were in complete sync on every aspect of the event, from start to finish. During that meeting, Nick and Bob stated that their guest’s entertainment was the most important priority of their special day and boy did that make sure that happened!
The beautiful day started with the couple’s very touching ceremony. The faces of the groom’s parents when they exchanged their wedding vows were something our Music Box DJs will never forget; their parents beamed pure joy and pride as their sons made their commitment of an everlasting bond to each other. DJ Andrea and Chris were grateful to have witnessed such a timeless moment in this couples life.
The moment Nick and Bob arrived to the reception, they greeted both DJ’s with open arms. Andrea said, “Their warm greetings was like I had been friends with the couple for a lifetime!” The minute the reception began, the entertainment was in full swing as Bob’s Dad gave a toast that had everyone in the room laughing, he stated, “I don’t see what the big deal is; I’ve been having the ‘same sex’ for 36 years!!”
Shortly after dinner, the newly married couple took the stage for the traditional first dance, they danced to Shania Twain’s “From This Moment” but unlike common tradition Nick and Bob broke out in a choreographed dance routine to Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way.” From that moment, everyone was on their feet and ready to party the night away! At one point of the night Nick, the groom, requested the microphone to perform an impromptu karaoke version of “Don’t Stop Believing” and “Some Nights.”
Incredible energy surged from family and friends as the dance floor was packed the entire night. “Turn Down for What” was an absolute hit accompanied by a reminder that there was only one more hour of partying to go. The DJs used this song to challenge to the guests to really rock out hard for the last hour, they did not disappoint! Towards the end the guests formed an enormous group hug around the newlyweds and showered them with love.
Throughout the event, The DJs had a very hard time figuring out which guests were from which “side” of the family. The DJs described the night as everyone being intermingled with each other as if they were a part of one large family. Looking out into the crowd throughout the night whether it was during the toasts, eating dinner or getting busy on the dance floor they couldn’t help but notice the amount of love and warmth that filled the room. Andrea said “it was unlike any other event, there was so much love and support in that room the walls could barely contain it.”
Have you ever been to a wedding so awesome you just had to share you experience with everyone?
If so, Let us hear it?
