Elisa Wallace had a busy weekend at the Tryon International Spring Three-Day Event , and lucky for us she brought her helmet cam along for the ride!
She swept second in the CCI3*-S with Let It Be Lee, Donna Biggs and Rosemarie Spillane's 14-year-old Thoroughbred gelding. The finished on their dressage score of 30.1 just behind division winner Liz Halliday-Sharp with Shanroe Cooley.
She was also 23rd with Renkum Corsair, a 12-year-old Holsteiner/Anglo Arab gelding owned by the Corsair Syndicate. The pair jumped clear cross country with time and we look forward to watching their budding partnership develop.
Last but not least, Elisa finished ninth in the CCI1*-Intro with Tullymurry Fifi, an 8-year-old Irish Sport Horse mare owned by the rider and Rick Wallace. They added less than a point of time to their dressage score in their first FEI together — she looks like a fun ride!
You can view complete results here.


text: One of my favorite styles in my favorite stripe. These overalls work double time when I roll the bib down and tie the straps. Easy to turn into the perfect high waisted pants as well. Wear them with tube tops, tanks and tees all spring/summer and then chunky sweaters and thermals under for Fall. Year round perfection!

And while that fits in with Batman's history, I think he was wise to point to a brighter world with Mayday. Not a perfect one, to be sure, but progress.

Now that Terry has officially been brought into the DCU, I also think it'd also be great to see a Spider-Girl/Batman Beyond crossover in the vein of your 1990s oneshots. I think a Peter Parker who's uncomfortable with May following in his footsteps would bounce off the elder Bruce nicely. Make for some great fireworks.

It amazes, delights and gratifies me that BROOKLYN DREAMS has managed to touch hearts and minds across cultures, because it's so specific to the world I grew up in.

I think that's the first time I've ever seen "vomit" used as a compliment. If we do another printing of BD, maybe that should be on the cover: "Beautiful vomit!"

And, yes, I'll check out your blog.

All the best -- JMDJ.M.

I've think Terry Gilliam would be the perfect director for MOONSHADOW. I've always seen MOON as a kind of Victorian pop-up book...and Gilliam could certainly deliver that.

No, I haven't seen any of the Marvel animated films. I'd LOVE to see KLH done that way, though. And, frankly, I'd love to write it.J.M.

I´m sorry to get out of subject -I don´t even know what you´re talking about here-, but I must go forward. Years ago, here in Buenos Aires, I found books 3&4 of Brooklyn Dreams for few pesos each, abandoned in a now closed old bookstore. I bought it inmediately as a rarity, maybe an illustrated novel, surrounded by basic English learning short texts and other cheap books. I like to go to those places. The cover said "Glenn Barr". I knew that guy from few comics. And since it had the plastic protection and had the "serious book" format, amazing was to find it was a comic book -I make comics myself-, but even more was the fact that I didn´t find the book, the fucker found me. I know it´s a typical cliché from the obvious reader that believes the world spins around him... but... the fucker found me. Made me very happy, I suffered and breathed with Vincent every step of that senior year. I loved the symbiotic relatinship you developed with Barr, it´s like he received a brain transplant (yours) and threw up instantly through his hand. Beautiful vomit, I must say. So outstandingly fluent, and living vomit.
After reading those two volumes dozens of times, came the possibility to live for a long while in Prague as a (ahem) student. So it was time to say goodbye to most of my things (I thought I might not come back) and I left Brooklyn Dreams to a beloved friend, as leaving it in the sand to be eventually found in the same way as the bookstore. So I lived and grew in Prague for 15 months. I learned, suffered, breathed. I came back to Argentina. A former drawing teacher decided to do the same, and threw everything away, like I did. And I found Brooklyn Dreams, in its hole shape, with the first and second books waiting to be read. So now I got to know the beginning. As everything in life, I turned to learn everything backwards.

Thank you.

Did anything from your treatment make it to Favreau's film?

Congrats on "Blood" and "Hero Squared." It's exciting that the tech and the production quality is there now to really bring these to life, so here's hoping for that and more. I don't know that Hollywood could have done justice to "Moonshadow" or "Blood" in '87, but now...definitely!!

I'm also hoping for a Marvel animated "Kraven's Last Hunt." I don't know if you've seen any of the recent Marvel animated line, but they've done some good work (particuarly the Hulk vs. Thor film).

And a "Savior 28" animated film would rock!

I had a go at Daredevil -- back in the 90's, when Chris Columbus was producing an early incarnation of the film at Fox, with my dear friend Carlo Carlei attached as director -- and that was quite a bit of fun.

If I had to pick one Marvel character, it would probably be Doctor Strange. So much potential there: LOST HORIZON meets Carlos Castaneda meets...well, Steve Ditko and Stan Lee.

But, really, I'm more interested in seeing some of my own properties make the transition from page to screen: MOONSHADOW, ABADAZAD, STARDUST KID, SAVIOR 28 (to name a few). As I think I've mentioned here, director Marc Rosenbush is developing a film based on my old Vertigo series (co-created with the brilliant Kent Williams), BLOOD: A TALE...and Cartoon Network is developing a live-action HERO SQUARED TV movie. Keith Giffen and I are on board as co-producers and we've written several drafts of the script, which is now being re-written (this IS Hollywood after all).

We'll see if either of these make it out of development and onto the screen, big or small.J.M.

That was the first comic movie I took my wife to see, and I had to do years of damage control on that one.

So...which unspoken for Marvel character would you like to write a screenplay for? Whoever it is, (assuming you don't want to devote an entire script to Stilt-Man)I'd like to see it happen.

It is a bit crowded, but the way Rockwell's Justin Hammer and Rourke's Whiplash bounce off each other offsets a lot of the difficulties inherent with multiple villains.

How to overcome anxiety and fear forever?
Fear is an evil spirit that sits in the diver seat for most people. We are to be led in the spirit and not driven by it. Are you a perfectionist driven by fear to perform? It is a spirit. So learn how to overcome anxiety and fear forever. It is possible when you learn how to apply God's Word or know His presence gives us peace. Do you have troubles and anxiousness on a daily basis? How about worrying about your finances as they tumble especially since COVID, our economy since the dollars are weakened. Have you noticed how much it cost to buy groceries today?
It is hard to trust God with all of our hearts, soul, and mind. We can with our heart, and soul, but our minds! That is a different story. There is an antidote to our fears—trust God – not yourself. If we trust God more, we can fearless. Isn't it comforting to know you can trust God? Didn't he say in Matthew 6:25-34 about don't worry?
25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]? 28 "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Jesus knew we would all deal with fear. Otherwise, He would not say in scripture, "Fear Not" 365 times. He often reminded us, "Fear not." So, learn how to overcome anxiety and fear forever! It is possible. Looking at Jesus' statements about fear points us toward steadiness in the face of fearful circumstances.
- Because of your anxiety keeping you up at night, you are on medication that you are groggy and unable to kick in when you wake up in the morning.
- Because of your anxiety and stress, your body is taking a toll. You suffer from anxiety like indigestion, tension headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety and panic attacks, and stress hives.
- Your anxiety causes you to isolate yourself from relationships, and your friends do not understand you. You feel lonely and sad.
Are you a Christian woman suffering from self-doubt, worry, procrastination! Do you feel defeated?
I am looking for women suffering from anxiety to do feedback with me. I am launching a 90-day program later this year, and your feedback would help me greatly. It would only take 15 minutes of your time.
- Worrying about everything
- Overthinker
- Have self-doubt
- Procrastinator
- Self-critical voice
and causes anxiousness.

10/10 Exceptional
26 February 2021
A very enjoyable stay!
Tuskers is located in 10 min walk from the center of Victoria Falls, which is very convenient, but at the same time in a very quiet and private place. The accommodation was very clean and well equipped. I enjoyed the big garden and the pool, the big, comfortable accommodation, the calm of the place, the kindness of the staff.. The owner was very cooperative and helpful, ready to resolve any issue immediately. I appreciate his willingness to cover all needs and make my stay as delightful as it could be. I have the most agreeable memories from my stay there!

Getting After That 'TO DO' in 2022!
We have all made that move into 2022 and for most of us it means just wanting the new year to be a bit smoother than the previous. This new world of social distancing and masks comes on top a world that was already distancing via technology. I see more young people who's interactions are on headsets only or choosing to shotgun social media posts versus socializing in person with friends. With only so many hours in the day and days in the week social media has allowed some people to stay in touch that normally would not have that option. Also for the elderly and those lacking mobility it can help make them feel connected to the world. I had a fan club for many years ran by a kind woman "Pepper" in a wheelchair. But she also got out and about as she often appeared at premieres. She became fans of many of the fine actors in our troupe and loved to do interviews and reviews. After a while she was given the VIP treatment at CDI events. To be fair I have to say that she was first the Terence Knox fan club president. I went off topic a tad but I think what I was trying to say was that while technology can make many things easier it can also rob you of some in-person interaction. I'm happy that while we still use technology we also make the time to meet around the table. Many great things have been hatched first as ideas and later as operations around the table. So in the new year don't let technology steal all your personal interactions. Spend time with and appreciate one another. Even with the amount of face-to-face meetings I have I still miss many people. During the 1st Covid lockdown I got in the habit of picking up the phone everyday and calling someone to catch up. Daily laughter really helped the situation.
2021 set many good things in motion. Seeds were planted and in 2022 we harvest. A lot of casting and development work finally allowed us to film our WW2 home front Christmas drama, SILENT NIGHT IN ALGONA in November 2021. It is now in post, our editor just finished marrying the audio and visual together. Model building in Canada is also underway and just as a nice tease here is a text I got from our editor on Friday –
"Been through all the footage now. Really good performances…excited and this weekend we're going to really get going." – N. Nose
And we are going – strong. We've been rolling still photos out and we're about to get a Behind the scenes video with Adam Towner. Following that we'll be cutting our first teaser trailer. We are all very excited about this film and so stay up to date on all the developments.
Just prior to the Algona shoot we finished, premiered and have done a few regional theatrical runs with BEST YEARS GONE. This film was really amazing to watch play in the theaters. So much laughter and you could feel the room when the drama hit. When I was going to do that film and play the Gil role many questioned if you could sell him a protagonist. Like you've heard – we are all the protagonist of our own life drama. Even the bad guy or antagonist often looks at themselves as the hero. Either way with the good direction by Shane Hagedorn and the amazing cast, it all works. I'm awaiting the streets days for release from our distributor and want these dates before we do a PR release. But I do have the DVD/streaming poster art to share.
I hope that during this cold months whereas people turn to the storyTV to help pass the time – you will sit a spell and watch a few tribe CDI projects. The Quest Trilogy (Forty Nights, Chasing the Star and The Christ Slayer) have been getting a nice push over the holidays. I did my traditional watch and I really enjoyed it. It is an amazing amount of work in three feature films. The Yuma DESERT stripes. WILD FAITH continues to do very well climbing to almost 5.5 million on Encourage TV and countless millions worldwide.
These numbers are helping our endeavors to launch the TV spin off. WILD FAITH: Hastings will be launching a development FB site for fans to follow the development from an official source. I will say with our new pitch deck things are looking good. I've had several good talks with interested parties but it is about creative control. If you want to repeat success you can't change too much. I will say that fans of the film will be fans of the TV series. The same magic is there. We will know in a few months if that series will go this year or have to be pushed into 2023. If that happens a second feature film will go up in the 2nd half 2022. We plan to shoot a funny, cool "1975 American Graffiti" in the Spring in Michigan. The name of the film is…we have a logo title being worked on so you'll have to wait. Also we are in active development on the 1st CDI animated feature. This is another extremely exciting project for me and something we'll talk about more as it comes together.
Goals for 2022 – Stay Healthy. Stay and Promote Happiness. Create meaningful art
This morning started with a wonderful breakfast sandwich thanks to our hens. The hazelnut coffee is still hot and I'm gonna go get a refill. I need to look at fixing a few of the axes. We had a day of wood chopping on a very cold day and we loosened a few axe heads and splintered a hickory handle. So repair and replacements are needed. I'm going to do some screenplay writing while watching the LIONS. It's their last game of the season and I hope we get a win. I hope everyone has a good week ahead. I'm just trying to leave 2022 closer to the present. It is hard to try and look ahead too far with so many uncertainties looming. But at the same time it's my job to try and look ahead. I've found a good balance of not focusing too much on what I cannot control. Have faith. Having faith in your path can also give you comfort. I feel like I'm doing what I was suppose to do and that is a blessing.
Have a great week!
Winter Gives Way to Spring – NEW Updates!
Coffee cheers and welcome to all our new readers and followers from Peru, Ireland, Austria and more! The week actually flow by and we went from unusually warm to cold and rainy and now sunshine is called for later in the week. As of Monday it will mark my week 2 after my second Covid shot. We just visited with a neighbor last night who had a memorial for their 52 year old nephew lost to Covid complications. So for many it is still a very real thing. I'm actually looking forward to getting back at in-person meetings, biz mixers and such. I'm very happy with all the weekly progress on our CDI projects.
(DJ Perry & Erika Hoveland in 'Best Years Gone')
BEST YEARS GONE (In Post) has many things happening at once. The film is undergoing color correction, dialog edit with music and sound design up next. I bet we listen to all the cleaned up dialog soon. The Battle of the Bands is giving us a good listen at some of the artists. Merchandise for this film is going to increase which is exciting. But the premiere planning is really cool. We are looking at having "The 1st Annual Gilles Cup" a regional "Best Up&Comer" amongst the "spectator drag" racing participants. This will be followed by the winning music video and the film itself playing on a huge blow up screen inside the in-field of the track.
For the Love of Catch (In Post) This amazing documentary has been filming for a month plus now and will be moving into the post-production phase. We will start to assemble these legends who speak about their exploration into the art of grappling and ultimately the love they have for the sport.
SMOKE & MIRRORS (In Post) – This passion project is a short film adapted from a feature script of mine of the same name. We had a commercial opportunity that needed "demo footage" and so we filmed a condensed short story. I've been reworking the feature script for a future production with Nathaniel Nose directing. I'm thinking of playing the short in front of BEST YEARS GONE to start its run. We also want to do a benefit screening for the Turner-Dodge House where we filmed. It is a spooky, fun short with amazing performances from David Gries and Melissa Anschutz.
MAN'S BEST FRIEND enjoyed a new General Market push which started out with a bang as a Latin American license was immediately made. The film is really starting to get out there and I'm so appreciative of all the reaching out by those that love this film. I keep hearing people ask about a sequel and I'm just not quite sure. I like how the film ends. It is not all tied up in a bow. An action/martial arts film? Maybe. I do have a pretty good idea for one. Thank you for all the compliments and it was nice to showcase some of my skills.
LOST HEART continues its march and the general market release will take it even further. Thank you to ICVM for the nominations. I'm proud to have two films in the top 5. This film is up for many nominations this May and I know that Melissa Anschutz and Victoria Jackson will attend. Don Most might attend as well as one of our nominated actors. They will have a great time!
THE QUEST TRILOGY prime season window of Thanksgiving to Easter is now over. We'll see how we did and we'll be sending revenue to our supporters.
WILD FAITH/HASTINGS – The movie continues to grow in popularity and the TV series is developing. I had good talks with our distributor and we have a few new opportunities to help launch this into a 2022 series shoot.
With our co-productions – BESTSELLER might get a new release in full in 2022 as well as several of the CDI General Market titles. AMERICAN LIAR and THE ACTOR are both available to watch on Amazon Prime.
Silent Night in Algona we announced the new cast of Shane Hagedorn and Christine Marie. Both are amazing actors who have brought some great characters to the screen. They will do this once again. Our next two announcements will be a great semi-regular talent working with the tribeCDI and one from our "Ghost Town" past. This matching will be incredible and I can already see the magic scenes they will create. MAY will be when we start to officially approach sponsors. If you have interest in aligning your service or product with our WW2 film please do reach out.
The 'Chicken Land' is fully operational and the girls love the greens. They have also started giving eggs so that is a great addition to the mornings. I am going to wrap this up and go do some sunny side up with rye toast and 4H bacon. I also purchased a pair of long elevated grow beds so that we can still do some of the garden favorites. Rhubarb and catnip are ready to harvest and I'm about to put the first lawn mow down. Also May 6th starts up soccer season! I'm excited to get back out there. I do strength and stretching daily along with my martial arts practice but running…not a fan unless I'm doing something. So the first few games might be rough not to mention just your ankles and knees getting their first stop/start work outs. Blueberry bushes will arrive soon. The apple trees look like they are going to be full this year. I will also start working to fill the wood boxes again for next winter.
I'm also going to get back to my script writing since I don't currently have an assignment. I've been bouncing between my SciFi script and the feature Smoke & Mirrors rework. I've enjoyed the pondering, research and scribbles as I pull these stories together. Carry on with your own endeavors and watch as those daily small steps all add up and take you closer to your goals and dreams.
Happy Sunday!
COLLECTIVE JOY – Merry Christmas and Cheers to a Better 2021!
Good morning. Coffee cheers. Well, today would have been one of the first holiday family get-togethers but alas we are not due to the lock down in Michigan. I have a good amount on my mind this week plus several good film updates on several of the projects.
I'm beyond happy that the stories we tell are being seen by millions and I'm receiving such uplifting fan mail that tells me what we do has a positive purpose. What WE do. That is an important word WE. We'll address that more soon. The new CDI release is LOST HEART which is truly a ray of light filled with laughter and tenderness gifted to whomever takes a watch. I believe that the lessons inside our stories can be taken to heart for ALL people. From the negativity I've seen fly, EVERYONE can use a little story to remind us of the goodness in us all.
Lost Heart has 3 leads in it. Melissa Anschutz, to know her is to respect her dedication and love to the character's she becomes. This film is a crown gem in her growing list of roles and stories. It is also deeply personal because of losing her husband to cancer and her own personal struggle with the disease, all while putting this movie together. Victoria Jackson who is a true comedic genius and is a tad outspoken in her political lean has drawn some praise and fire. Now add Don Most, who recently was heavily criticized by some and applauded by others for attending a 'Happy Days' fundraiser for Biden. FOX took a PR piece on Lost Heart and really played the political slant almost like a TMZ piece. While it has added thousands of views it has angered some and so the days after the FOX story posted anger responses erupted from a few and the VOTE score on the film 1-10 dropped from mid 8's to 3-4 over politics.
Political or not, it happens to all the children (movies) and while I wanted this child to be safe from bullies/trolls – people will vent their frustrations before taking accountability or accepting differences. Conservative MAGA or Cancel Culture Liberals – EVERYONE can use a good story with lessons about being good to one another and the value of kindness. I've been around long enough to know the drill. Friends, family, peers drive the score UP and the haters arrive and it goes down and fans start to bring the score back up and it will settle into a final score in a few years. Older audiences, myself included are not as savvy with computer reviewing so that is often not reflected. CDI works with respectful artists period from across the spectrum. I personally don't ride the rollercoaster of hi's and low's. I try to live each film as a "drop the mic" moment and enjoy each day.
BEST YEARS GONE – The edit is coming along great with over 40 scenes cut. We'll have a first edit in a couple weeks and the goal is to lock picture end of Jan. 2021. Let's talk about that film in light of what we just discussed above.
Our motion picture has been adapted from a self-published book entitle "Hope from Heaven" by author and small-town barber Karl Manke, who by challenging state law during the Covid lock down earned himself the moniker of 'America's Barber' whatever good or bad that name might bring. One man's personal actions put him in line with the theme or agenda of others and against state law, an outlaw or patriot was born unto the media depending on the opinion piece. But I can say that Karl did not ask for the media circus and was not trying to be a flag bearer for anyone.
(One of several projects I was honored to work on with Dan Haggerty)
Enter our CDI (www.cdiproductions.com) a Michigan-based motion picture company since 1996 that has produced various films over the years and has found a niche of positive, well-told stories that often include a few life lessons woven within. CEO DJ Perry, often the screenwriter these days, gives credit to the early TV shows like The Waltons, The Life & Times of Grizzly Adams and Little House on the Prairie. These were shows strong in character development and story. Often with a treasure of a lesson buried at the heart of the story for the audience to dig up, leaving them with something to ponder beyond the screen.
"We believe that our stories speak to the entire spectrum of audiences – it doesn't matter where you stand politically, our stories are for everyone." – DJ Perry
The story seems simple enough, a young woman raising twin teen daughters as a single parent falls in love with a less than perfect man and conflict ensues. Also said, less than perfect man is an ex-race car driver who had a team and a dream with his cousin. This relationship ends due to the poor decisions whereas the thin threads of family are broken. These characters while extreme, are still relatable to most either in shared qualities or as the worst versions of ourselves in some alternate universe.
This political year combined with the Covid situation made filming plans even worse. CDI had originally planned to begin filming in April 2020 on 'Best Years Gone' the adapted film name. The well-written book was full of colorful characters and a nice blend of realism and mystery. The book and script both speak to imperfect relationships and the importance of forgiveness to the self. In the public arguments the means by which many communicate shows no desire to really be heard, understood or to find common ground. Most remarks are inflammatory and meant to injure the other party by slandering things they hold dear and sometimes sacred. This story had greater messages that can be applied to anyone.
CDI has a strong reputation for staying on schedule, on budget and creating exceptional quality stories within business guidelines. This quality is by gathering talented artists and uniting them behind a story. UNIFIED BY A STORY! So is the way of the TRIBECDI. What is the tribe you say? The creation of a sacred artist space whereas the art of storytelling can be told unhindered by differences and distractions. A philosophy that demands respect towards one another as artists and only asks for your best efforts to be put forth without any added drama.
CDI has diverse, artistic individuals from all over the spectrum of beliefs and affiliations. In some those beliefs can be polar opposite and in other examples just differing priorities on taxation, spending or any of the various topics debated around dinner tables. The issue is that in a growing culture that becomes more inclined to try and gather to only like-minded groups finding that singular group at the larger level of inclusion is near impossible – you WILL end up working with diverse people and that is a good thing. At CDI we don't endorse or support any one life path save the path of telling a good story. I think that many could learn from the environment we work to nurture and grow. We continue to refine and grow ourselves and the key is to keep the story in sight. While others flounder due to poor communication we are still able to speak to the audience as a whole. We create great little stories with powerful topics- often softened slightly by humor. The story a gentle reminder not to take life too serious as we only go around once and life is too short a ride to do it mad or with a chip on your shoulder.
Okay now my Top UPDATES
- According to our distributor Wild Faith is still growing an audience with the film ranking in BMG's Top 5 on most platforms. We had HASTINGS talks and progress is being made.
- I've started doing the writer/director polishing passes on SILENT NIGHT IN ALGONA. We are close to a full green light. We just have a few units to still assign in the project. Once we do expect some big PR announcements.
- I've been doing some writing on the new updated draft of the SMOKE & MIRRORS featured script. CODE NAME: ASH – I've had a wonderful time researching and writing and the short film will be done and released in 2021.
- The Quest Trilogy is being licensed for the season and I'll notify as I find network and such featuring it. If any of you see it playing let me know.
- MBF: MAN'S BEST FRIEND – If you enjoyed this film the dog who played Brown Boy is named Big Papa and he needs surgery. It is the same kind that a few of our own furry family had to have. If you enjoyed the film and want to help out a great guy Robert Ash, is needing help with the costs so if able think of donating at the link provided. https://www.gofundme.com/f/big-papas-surgery?fbclid=IwAR1g6JR1Kz8lDcM7laYtwgXU_Oz5N4EAAyhDlJQtJxGlhuMnQQWIXFrc7VA
- The doc "For the Love of Catch" will start rolling cameras again start of the new year!
- NEW merchandise is coming so that is quite exciting to me.
(My bro and I are intergalactic bounty hunters in our spare time)
The POWER of storytelling. I've been a lifelong Star Wars fan and give much credit to A NEW HOPE for me wanting to be an actor/storyteller. I was and still am a big Han Solo fan. Luke was always somewhat secondary for me. But in this time of hardship, stress and frustration for many Luke Skywalker is just what the world needed. The odds look to be just too much. The battle appears to be a losing one when "one X wing" how is that going to…wait a minute. Was that R2D2? Is that? Glove? Green lightsaber! I like millions had imagined scenes like what we saw unfold in our childhood imaginations. I loved seeing the JOY that overcame so many watching this unfold. I cried and I'm not even sure why. The need to through back to another time. To truly escape back to a Far, Far Away Galaxy. To have Luke Skywalker come and save the day – to save 2020. It again showed me the power that can come from storytelling. Now to bring it all full circle the haters will come for this show also. Maybe Mark Hamill will say something that offends someone or just going against the grain is what some need to do to get noticed. But for me it was collective joy. Seek a Collective Joy in 2021 and by our individual actions lets make 2021 the year we all want. Appreciate people as you get to spend time in 2021 even if they have different priorities versus yourself. Communicate respectfully and as if that person were in the room with you. If you want a better 2021 you need to do your part – actions. We will circle back and talk next Sunday for the last time before 2021. Be good to one another and have a Merry Christmas!
Last Note: These films are made with collective love by diverse artists who share the sincere hope each of our stories will bring you some amount of joy. A person drowning in negative filters will not ever see joy in anything and will actually want to destroy the experience of joy others may experience. But those icy haters should know we don't EVER give up on you. We create and await that one day that our one story made you crack a smile, laugh aloud or shed a tear. We immerse ourselves in a made-up world and tell a story. All while giving up precious time with families and friends. As artists, we're called to reach out with a story and try to melt the icy negativity that stretches across the hearts and minds of so many. To give them a chance to find some joy. To feel a story of Collective Joy. Here's wishing JOY to you.
Advance Sneak Peeks and Film News
Sunday morning with the family, sipping coffee and reflecting back on a busy but productive work week. We've had some pretty snow as of late and not quite the arctic chill. Don't get me wrong thin blood residents of warm places – Michigan has been cold. It has just been warmer but I hear a few more storms coming through. In Michigan the Great Lakes give some protection and many storms pass beneath us. Before the film updates let's talk about another passion – soccer. Futbol to my non-USA friends, speaking of that, it was so great to see so many of you joining us.
I play in a Men's League as many of you know. I've played in the 30+ league for many years since I was 29 likely. I LOVE the battle. I play to win but if I'm not badly injured and I get a good work out, it's a win in my book. Us older warriors know just like in battles of old. You don't need to be better every moment of every day of the week, just those moments. I have to be better for two hours, an often I am. I had my first sideline injury second half of last year with a wrist crack. Heavy tackle with another determined badass that sent the ball rocketing into my wrist. Just a freak mishap. Two season back I had my first nagging knee issue but that got better. Martial arts and soccer have put my body through the paces. I'm hardened by it for sure but I'm just being more conservative. My little bro has played with us since he aged in at 29 and that has been an ongoing joy. He has dealt with his own few injuries but he has also been playing both 30+ and 40+ league. He started thinking of downshifting as 2X week = 2X the joint wear and tear and 2X the chance of serious injury. Now the 40+ team started with a good buddy of mine and I from Sexton days and playing over in Denmark. We created a team whereas our old teammates could battle with us again. Now many of those people have retired their cleats. I've decided to join my brother in the 40+ league only. I exercise every day but you have to vary the routine. You don't do arms day, arms day, arms day…okay maybe some do. It was hard because I love the team we formed and played with for so many years. It also felt like a demotion or admitting of our age. But again, if I can play hard and get the work out, uninjured and spend time with my brother, good deal. So a new chapter. That said I will likely miss games in May with film work. Let's talk film shall we.
It has been a time of harvest even as we begin to prep the planting of new seeds.
THE CHRIST SLAYER – The 3rd film in The Quest Trilogy. It has been released on digital and I've had just some beautiful 'fan-mail' sent to me expressing their appreciation and love of the story. This includes someone who had pirated the film in India. This had happened on another film 'Darkest Night' which brought out fans who had not paid to watch. Now, I've seen some of the living conditions elsewhere whereas an entire extended (way extended) family live in a one room dwelling. Entertainment is often storytelling (beautiful), music or the family gathered around the one TV and DVD player. If the film stolen or not is playing and bringing some joy via our story, let good karma be our payment. But, if you can afford. Please do rent or buy it. It hurts the little guy filmmakers and makes it harder to make films. It is hard enough already. Go back to my first blog entries and start reading. It was a good conversation and now he just may promote our cause.
Also last week I said that all these films have seen a point whereas they were attacked. Many people are mad at actions and words uttered or done by people claiming to be faith authorities. The films are for entertainment and to provoke thought. I claim to be an expert of zero. I have no time to argue any points as I'm working on the next story. But I've seen at least one guy vocally slam the film without watching because I'm white. Whatever that means in our generation of DNA. Test yourself and hate will diminish as many find out we are all brothers and sisters. But is Brad Pitt Greek? The Rock? We were not making any statement on race, watch WILD FAITH for that:) It is a story of LOVE, microcosmos and macrocosmos. If the guy watched it and hated it, likely he would because people get out what they bring in. At least he was speaking about something he saw. Just like people can BUY bundles of IMDB star meter hits, amazon ratings, etc…always a bunch of 1's and 2's appear overnight from unknown sources. I think again because Jesus is a figure in the story. A version of him is on the cover. So people wronged by an organized religion or so-called expert in faith they carry a deep hate. That usually comes out on the mysterious J-Man. I've been right on par with people disgusted by what I've seen. The Jim Baker 80's was…well you know. I just like the idea of looking at 3 times – BIRTH, BEFORE any of the organized stories. (See Chasing the Star) – BEFORE any ministry. (See Forty Nights) and – AFTER any ministry – death to rebirth to…watch The Christ Slayer. These stories dance around the dirt that has soiled the image of any organized ministry for many people. For people within organized bodies who want to exalt themselves and proclaim faith expertness, have at it. But I value every persons ability to evaluate. So even if you see Christianity as legit as the Jedi Academy in Star Wars, take a watch. The core tenets, the seeds, are interesting. And yes, all three films were produced to present the stories in a very Star Wars-like way. I think the translation is actually quite cool. We kept the same amazing DP, Mr. Jesse Aragon. The most awesome music composer I know, Dennis Therrian. And the best keys and directors we could convince to go on a journey. Those that possess desert stripes know. Our cast and crew got one for each film. I will remember those films and the making of them forever.
Tomorrow is DVD March 4th and April 19th is the event theatrical showings for Easter. My 'faith film' watching consisted of Chuck Heston biblical epics at Christmas and Easter. That is my influence so even if you have never stepped a foot in church please take a watch. If you kneel on a rug facing East to pray – please take a watch. No-Jesus Jewish, take a watch. Atheists take a watch. Just watch a cool trilogy unfold that is not just about mankind but the angels – fallen and not. I will continue to occasionally enjoy your comments but don't hate to just hate. At least watch it. Oh, and pay for it:) Stealing is stealing, rhyming and stealing' …
SIDE NOTE: I've been reading the Beastie Boys Book, a bio on the bank. It is very cool to read their journey. They have had the up's and down's of all artists.
WILD FAITH – This machine is about to kick off with the March 23rd national theater release. This came about because of the limited run we do last year. The film looks and sounds even better and we've added something special. Also we'll be releasing the new poster work. I will leave you with this DOVE review and it just may contain a few surprises teases.
DOVE FAMILY FILM review of WILD FAITH
We've been dealing with final paperwork, approved releases/photos and such. I'm really excited to go back into the theater and see this film. You will also be able to pre-order the DVD later this month.
MBF: Man's Best Friend
I got to spend the week watching and re-watching scenes and taking notes. The film this week is being prepped to travel to Dennis Therrian. Dialog clean up will be first and sound design and music will follow. The film is really powerful and I'm so happy for everyone involved. For me filming was heavy, representing the actual wounded. I also was told by furry best friend had cancer and it was a battle for time. It was a shoot that was hard to squeeze 'fun' from. But I think it worked for the film and it will be a good tribute. Once the picture moved to post audio we'll color correct and cut a new trailer from the final cut of the film. Good stuff ahead.
Last week we released a casting call for an 8-12 year old-young actress. We've been getting some great looks at performance. On the 'Lost Heart' Facebook site people have been dropping their dramatic reels. Thank you. We'll keep reviewing. We have a least one role that is a younger version of a casted role still coming. So we're waiting to cast the larger older role before casting the younger version. This week director Jesse Low and I spend two days and many hours reviewing the script. We're getting close to a locked production script. We've also been scouting Northern Michigan locations and starting talks with lodging options. We're still presenting to investors but we've had progress there. It is always a timing issue but things are coming together.
My advance casting announcement is for Mr. Austin Two-feathers and Greg Mason, both have participated in a handful of CDI pictures. Unique talent is always what we're looking for and these two gents have just that. So you heard it here first:)
I have two commercial VO's that have been pushed a week. You never know who those voices on those commercials belong too:) I enjoyed a fun meet-N-greet with a filmmaker from the Detroit area who has been making moves. I've seen them come and I've seen them go. Some move away but many more fade away. I think this individual has his heart in the right place and his previous accomplishments had prepared him to lead. You need good leaders to make a market work. I stated and I'll state again, this is where I plant my flag. I'm a Michigander 4 LIFE.

Steven P. Weitzman (SPW): Ayelet, can you tell us a bit about the project you are working on at the Katz Center?
"Any minute now the world streams over its border" (Ot-ot gist zikh shoyn iber di velt bizn rand). So writes Soviet Yiddish poet Peretz Markish, a single resonant line among the hundreds in his eighty-page poem The Man of Forty (Der fertsikyeriker man), which his wife smuggled out of Stalinist Russia in a potato sack in 1949. Had she not done so it would surely have been seized by Stalin's agents, who were moments from arresting the dissident poet when she departed.
Disaster not only alters the horizon of meaning for those who experience it but also leaves indelible traces on the lexicon. How can old words navigate the new and radically discordant? Language struggles to keep up. Words and expressions are coined or reused and the new collective argot in turn allows previously unimaginable things to become assimilable.

Daniel Reifman uses semiotic theory to account for the fact that legal rationales play a relatively peripheral role in the construction of rabbinic legal discourse.
The news that the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research responded to a budget crisis this month by laying off its entire library staff came as a shock to the Jewish studies academic community, which responded with an outpouring of concern.

Cryotherapy is a controlled and targeted destruction of diseased tissue by use of extremely low temperature produced by liquid gases. The most common agent used by doctors is liquid nitrogen which is extremely cold, boiling at minus 196° c.
What conditions can be treated with cryotherapy?
A wide variety of skin lesions can be treated with cryotherapy, but it is most commonly used to remove viral warts, seborrhoeic keratosis ( the ageing spots), actinic keratosis, acne, vascular lesions, joint pain, small cancers and other noncancerous growth over the skin.
How does this procedure occur?
Cryotherapy is done by using different methods, like CryoGun, CryoPen, Cryochamber, or simply by the cotton dip method, containing liquid nitrogen, which is applied to the skin Cryotherapy does not normally require a local anaesthetic. The frozen skin becomes white and takes one to two minutes to thaw to normal skin temperature. Your doctor may suggest that the process is repeated once the skin has thawed out. Over the succeeding few days, a scab will form, and this will take one to two weeks. Multiple sessions are required to remove the lesion.
What are the side effects of this treatment?
Immediate side effects:
- Pain- cryotherapy is usually well-tolerated, but can sometimes be painful if a deep freeze has been necessary which can be manageable with Painkillers (such as paracetamol)
- Swelling and redness - this is a normal immediate response to freezing the skin, and usually settles after two to three days; there may induce prominent puffiness of the lower eyelids which settles within days.
- Blistering- this is also a common consequence of cryotherapy and blisters settle after a few days as the scab forms.
- Infection- uncommonly, an infection can occur, resulting in increased pain and the formation of pus.
What is whole body cryotherapy?
This is a newer technique in which the whole body is exposed to extremely cold dry air in an environmentally controlled room for short periods of time (typically between 2and 5 minutes). During these exposures, individuals wear minimal clothing, gloves, a woollen headband covering the ears, a nose and mouth mask, and dry shoes and socks to reduce the risk of cold-related injury. Although it was originally developed to treat chronic medical conditions, such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Its purported effects include decreased tissue temperature, reduction in inflammation, analgesia, and enhanced recovery following exercise.
What are the disadvantages of cryosurgery?
The major disadvantage of cryosurgery is the uncertainty surrounding its long-term effectiveness. While cryosurgery may be effective in treating tumours the physician can see by using imaging tests (tests that produce pictures of areas inside the body), it can miss microscopic cancer spread.

Anything with a save of 1+ is safe from Doomweaver webs so if a Titan with a

Well we've always played it that you roll for scatter and if you go up, you
miss as they can only hit bottom row templates. This has never been a real
problem as they have only been used on my Gargants to hit the Belly Gun and
shake my vunerables off, eh Jase? Very stimulating, but in the end it's
dangerous and sends you blind :-). Never seen them used on an Imperial
Titan before.

Thanks for the reply, Peter.
I have contemplated not covering a tunnel next to the wall completely,
as not bringing scenery tight right up against a painted wall backdrop,
would help with perspective, especially in mountainous terrain I think.....?
At this point, the track plans look like they would be 3 feet deep at most,
(a bit more in a corner),
but I think that's reachable with care, as I am taller than average.
And yes, I do plan on making changes as I go along,
for me the process of modeling is more appealing,
than operating trains on a finished layout.
It may sound strange, but basically I want a layout
for somewhere to put the scratch built structures and rolling stock
I find the greatest enjoyment in when engaged in this hobby.

Let's face it, getting a new mortgage probably isn't on the top of your "Fun Things to Do" list. But, regretting not getting one is worse. That's why at Homestead, we make getting a cash-out refinance fast and easy.
And since you've been procrastinating and putting refinancing off, you're probably wondering . . .
What will interest rates Do?
To begin with – nobody knows for sure. But rates have stayed down the last five years. So, they will eventually go up. But – don't freak out. Here's why.
A ¼% rate increase doesn't make that much difference in your payment. Here's an example:
Have you checked your home's value lately?
And, if you're like most homeowners, your equity has increased quite a bit over the last few years. That means, the more equity you have, the more cash out you can get. Plus, your rate could be better too.
In addition, that's another point in favor of refinancing now when the market is hot. Keep in mind, that if prices start to dip, so will your equity and the amount of money you can get.
The Best Ways to Use Your Equity
When you get a cash-out refi, you pay off your existing mortgage with your new loan. And you receive a lump sum at closing. Consider how you want to use your funds. Ask yourself:
Can I increase my home's value even more?
How does your house compare to other properties in the neighborhood? Is yours dated with a kitchen from the '80s? If that's the case – investing back into your home – without "over improving" is a smart way to use your funds.
Could I reduce financial stress by paying off debts?
How would you feel if you paid off your high-interest loans? Does just the thought make you breathe a sigh of relief? If you're struggling with your monthly budget, using some or all of your funds for debt consolidation could be a good idea. That is – as long as you change your spending habits.
Which home improvements would make my home more enjoyable?
If your floorplan is dated, how about knocking out some walls and opening it up? Open floor plans can transform the look of a home.
Is your home hot, cold, or drafty? When that's the case it's smart to think about new energy-efficient windows, upgraded insulation, or a new HVAC system.
Would I like to have money to invest?
Getting cash out of your home is an excellent way to come up with the funds for a second home, vacation home, or rental. And for those who like to invest in the stock market, you can also invest in an S&P fund for higher returns.
Check Out These Cash Out Scenarios
It's Time to Improve Your Financial Life for the Better
The team at Homestead Financial Mortgage is here to help. We can close a refinance in 30 days. Contact us today, and in just a few minutes, you can learn about your options.

Honda Classic field receives boost with addition of Phil Mickelson, Rickie Fowler
Phil Mickelson soon will call the area home. So, it only makes sense the legendary golfer is coming to Palm Beach County to support his hometown tournament.
Mickelson, a 44-time winner of the PGA Tour, will play in the Honda Classic for the first time since 2016. The native Californian confirmed late in 2019 he had purchased property on Jupiter Island to build a home. He is expected to move into his new home sometime this year.
While Mickelson joins the Honda field for just the fourth time in his career, Rickie Fowler, the 2017 Honda champion, also has committed and returns for the 12th consecutive year. Fowler, who lives in Jupiter, started supporting his hometown tournament in 2010 and has entered every year since.
Executive director Ken Kennerly called securing Mickelson and Fowler, "magical" for the tournament.
"Phil is a true legend, a generational player that everybody loves to follow and cheer for," Kennerly said.

Mickelson and Fowler join a field that is shaping up to top those of the last two years when Honda was caught in a scheduling squeeze and had a difficult time attracting many of the sport's biggest names.
Among those already committed are four-time majors champion Brooks Koepka and Daniel Berger, both ranked in the top 15 in the world and both Jupiter residents who were raised in Palm Beach County. Other notables include defending Honda champion and No. 17 in the world Sungjae Kim; Max Homa, the winner of last month's Genesis Invitational; Lee Westwood, the European Tour's No. 1 player, and 2019 British Open champion Shane Lowry.
The Honda Classic will be held March 18-21 at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens.

More:Honda Classic stresses fan safety in presentation to Palm Beach Gardens officials
Although Mickelson and Fowler have struggled on the Tour in recent years, both remain among the most popular golfers in the world.
Mickelson, 50, is ninth on the all-time winners list and has won five majors, including the 2004, 2006 and 2010 Masters; the 2005 PGA Championship and the 2013 British Open. He also has been runner-up at the U.S. Open six times.
Mickelson has played on a record 12 Ryder Cups teams.
"My love of the game of golf is extremely high and my desire to compete and play against the best players is high, and so I find myself just internally motivated because of my love to compete and my love to try to bring out the best in me," Mickelson said. "I'm excited to see if I'm able to continue playing at the highest level. What's fun for me is competing, getting in contention, and trying to win tournaments."
D'Angelo:Daniel Berger no longer should be overlooked when it comes to the area's PGA royalty
D'Angelo:Do not count Tiger Woods out when it comes to playing golf again
More:Kamaiu Johnson continues to inspire young Black golfers with exemption into Honda Classic
Mickelson has won two events on the main Tour since 2013 and his world ranking has dropped to 98, the lowest since midway through 1993, his second year on the Tour.
In the last two seasons, he has missed 11 cuts in 24 Tour events and has just two top 10 finishes. Last summer, Mickelson became eligible for the Tour Champions and won his first two tournaments. He fell short in his attempt to become the first player to win his first three Tour Champions starts, finishing 20th at the Cologuard Classic last weekend.
Mickelson has played Honda three times, the last in 2016. He missed the cut in 2014, finished tied for 17th in 2015 and tied for 37th in 2016 with an even par 280.
Fowler's world ranking has plummeted to No. 65, his lowest since 2010, yet he continues to be among the Tour's more marketable personalities. Fowler spent nearly the entire 2018 season and most of 2019 in the top 10 before his troubles began. Since the 2019 U.S. Open, when he tied for sixth, Fowler has finished in the top 10 twice in 28 starts.
Fowler, who has won five times on the PGA Tour, has four top 10 finishes at Honda. He was 12 under in 2017, winning by four shots over Gary Woodland and Morgan Hoffmann. Two years ago, Fowler was one shot from forcing a playoff, finishing in a tie for second with Koepka behind champion Keith Mitchell. He missed the cut in 2020.
Others who have committed to Honda include 2005 and 2015 Honda champion and European Ryder Cup captain Padraig Harrington, Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell, Englishman Ian Poulter and Swede Henrik Stenson, among others.
Players have until the afternoon of March 12 to commit to the field.
Grounds tickets for each day of competition are available for $60. Public hospitality tickets at the Champions Club on the 18th hole and the Waterford Club at the 17th green are $325.
Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis at thehondaclassic.com. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, daily attendance will be limited.

At In The Book, we believe in the power of reading. The power that helps educate, instil confidence, and most importantly, create a lasting bond between parent and child.
We came to life in 2018, and our aim was to put magic into the story by writing your child into adventures with their favorite characters from a host of well-known brands. Their name is woven into the story, as well as on the cover and even in the illustrations. This kindles their natural curiosity, helps children to relate to the book, and ultimately grow as a reader and an individual.
At In The Book, we're a team of illustrators, storytellers, content creators (see here!) and most importantly, readers! We know one story is enough to transform an individual's outlook on the world, whether it's a well-loved book from childhood, or a classic work of fiction.
Why choose a personalized book?
Reading is a habit associated with educational and social success, but it's also a special bond that can be shared between parent and child. When a child sees their name in the story, they're immediately interested in what's going on as they're involved in the action.
Setting aside some time for "story time" is one of the most important things a parent can do. It creates a special routine and gives children memories that will last forever. And with a personalized book, you can be sure that they'll be fully engaged in story time!
No such thing as ordinary
A great book is one that never goes out of fashion. We mean it when we say your kids will read our books over and over again because there's so much to learn from every time they open the book. A personalized story opens up your child to real-world scenarios, helping them handle life in real contexts. From Disney, Thomas the Tank Engine, Ladybird, Peter Rabbit and so many more incredible titles, putting your child in the story sets off their imagination, where they can explore other cultures and even make history interesting.
Neil Gaiman once said "Books make great gifts because they have whole worlds inside of them. And it's much cheaper to buy somebody a book than it is to buy them the whole world." Our goal is to instill a natural love of reading in every child. We're constantly adding to our collection of books because kids constantly grow and so do their interests. Our writers and illustrators aim to create new landscapes to capture your child's imagination every time, through personalized stories that are anything but ordinary.
Environmentally Friendly
At In The Book, we're always looking for ways to improve our environmental impact in any way we can. We're proud that our books are made from environmentally friendly paper, and our paper suppliers are FSC approved. This is important to us as each day we're becoming more aware of the effects being environmentally irresponsible can cause.
Merging with Simply Personalized
We are proud to announce that in April 2020 we merged with popular personalized gifts website, Simply Personalized.

Knoxville restaurateur, mayoral candidate Mike Chase named in $14M sexual harassment suit
Knoxville restaurateur and city mayoral candidate Mike Chase is being accused of sexual harassment in a $14 million lawsuit brought by a server at one of his Copper Cellar restaurants.
The suit, filed in Knox County Circuit Court on Wednesday, details a series of persistent, sexually explicit comments Chase, 72, allegedly made to Ana Tipton-Budzynski as she served him and two of his friends at Copper Cellar West on the night of Dec. 18.
Tipton-Budzynski, who has worked at the Kingston Pike eatery for five years, claims her complaint was never truly investigated.
The lawsuit also alleges Copper Cellar Corporation's Human Resources Director Rick Eldridge, who is named as a co-defendant, later told her "the matter has been addressed," but refused to provide Tipton-Budzynski with copies of her compliant, or any statements witnesses or Chase had given during the company's internal investigation.
"Eldridge told (Tipton-Budzynski) that the only outcome from the Copper Cellar was and would be the harasser (Defendant Chase) had been asked to stay away from her and if he didn't there was nothing that could be done because 'he's the boss!'" the suit reads.
Suit claims multiple women victimized
The lawsuit does not specify other alleged incidents or victims, although it claims multiple female employees have been subjected to such behavior by Chase for several years.
Tipton-Budzynski and her husband, Alexander Budzynski, are seeking $3.5 million in compensatory damages, as well as $10.5 million in punitive damages against Chase, Eldridge and the Copper Cellar Corporation.
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of the Budzynskis by attorney George Underwood Jr., also seeks the formation of a company task force to draft and implement a zero-tolerance anti-sexual harassment policy, a sexual harassment hotline for victims and witnesses, staff training, independent investigations of any future complaints and a means to automatically report any sexual harassment by Chase to the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Chase, who owns two Copper Cellar locations and nine Calhoun's locations among 20 restaurants in Knoxville and surrounding areas, filed paperwork in August for a 2019 Knoxville mayoral bid to replace outgoing Mayor Madeline Rogero.
Neither Chase, nor Eldridge, could be reached for comment immediately Thursday morning.

Ford has warned it will book a loss of $5 billion for the current quarter because of the coronavirus crisis.
Ben Klayman and Nick Carey reported the news for Reuters:
Ford Motor Co (F.N) said on Tuesday its second-quarter loss would more than double to over $5 billion from $2 billion in the first quarter due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, but added it had enough money despite the crisis to last the rest of 2020.
"We believe the company's cash is sufficient to take us through the end of the year, even with no additional vehicle wholesales or financing actions," Chief Financial Officer Tim Stone said in a statement.
But he called the current economic environment "too ambiguous" for the No. 2 U.S. automaker to give a full-year 2020 earnings forecast.
"There's no denying the negative economic consequences of a pandemic," Chief Executive Jim Hackett said on a conference call with analysts.
Bloomberg's Keith Naughton wrote:
Ford Motor Co.'s sagging stock fell further after the automaker forecast a more than $5 billion second-quarter operating loss due to the coronavirus pandemic's blow to the global car industry.
The projected deficit — which is about $2 billion worse than some analysts were anticipating — is based on Ford's expectation for significant volume declines in every region. Ford shares, which already were down 42% this year at the close, ended the late trading session down 4.1%.
The economic crisis caused by the pandemic is devastating Ford's efforts to recover from three consecutive annual earnings declines. Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett's execution of an $11 billion global reorganization was undermined last year by the botched launch of the Explorer sport-utility vehicle. Before the coronavirus hit, Hackett was counting on a raft of new models to start reversing the company's fortunes.
Jordyn Grzelewski from the Detroit News reported:
"Ford people are keeping each other safe, limiting the spread of the virus, safeguarding health care workers and first responders, and taking care of customers," CEO Jim Hackett said in a statement. "The imagination, initiative and execution of our team is helping save lives today, and those qualities will allow Ford to emerge from this as a stronger company."
In March, the automaker quickly shifted gears from assembling cars, trucks and SUVs to producing badly needed medical supplies. The company, along with the United Auto Workers and Ford's medical and manufacturing partners, has committed to producing hundreds of ambulances, millions of face shields, 50,000 ventilators and up to 100,000 respirators, among other products.

Officials in Oklahoma City are investigating hundreds of Amazon packages found dumped on the side of the road on New Year's Eve.
According to the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office, the packages had were supposed to reach their destinations by Christmas, but tracking information indicates that the items never reached the USPS facility for delivery after departing from the Amazon warehouse.
In a Facebook post, the sheriff's office said an unidentified suspect rifled through the packages and stole several items of interest, while leaving behind the rest — most notably books.
"Apparently the thief isn't much of a reader ... the books that were being delivered were left behind," the post reads.
An Amazon spokesperson told Insider the company is working closely with the sheriff's office throughout the course of the investigation.
The incident comes after a similar case in Alabama in November, in which police discovered hundreds of undelivered FedEx packages dumped into a ravine on private property in Blount County. FedEx drivers quickly arrived on the scene and collected the packages, which were scattered across a ditch.
"These guys came from all over the country to work on Thanksgiving. Thank you guys for your hard work and clearing up this mess," the Blount County Sheriff's Office said at the time. "FedEx has sent multiple trucks and drivers from all over the south."
In December, officials announced they took a suspect into custody for dumping the packages. Deandre Rayshaun Charleston, 22, faces five charges of cargo theft, a Class D felony, for dumping packages on at least six separate occasions.
Blount County Sheriff Mark Moon said in a press conference that Charleston was "sorrowful for what he had done," and noted the former driver told officials he had recently experienced a death in the family and "was having some hard times in his life and just made poor choices."

Family: Pycnonotidae (Bulbuls, this is the only species in Australia)
Size: 20 cm
Distribution: Very small parts of NSW, VIC and QLD, including around Sydney
Status: Common to locally common
Habitat: Urban areas
References: Simpson and Day, Reader's Digest
Although the Red-whiskered Bulbul is introduced, it seems like a "nice" bird, unlike many of the other introduced birds such as the Feral Pigeon, the Common Myna and others.
They make a variety of several nice melodic sounds, and are usually seen in groups of two or three, perhaps four or even five occasionally.
The Red-whiskered Bulbul has a crest on the top of the head which is quite distinctive, and tiny red patches behind the eye and under its tail that are usually hard to see. Juvenile bulbuls are pink under the tail and have no red patch behind the eye.

NEW: The Complete Guide to Australian Birds, by George Adams.
This is another of the newer ones (published in November 2018) that I bought recently (June 2020). It's got photographs rather than drawn pictures of the birds. They're really good quality photos. 10 or more years ago, the Australian bird field guides with photographs definitely weren't in the same class as the ones with hand-drawn pictures, but that seems to have changed. Now I think it's more a matter of personal preference. I imagine that the massive increases in availability of long-zoom-distance digital photographic equipment has made it much easier for there to be better quality photos of birds.
This book has colured strips down the outside of each page so you can find the different types of birds easily, which I really like.
