"I would be first in line to pick up this stunning mare, how anyone could just abandon her is beyond my comprehension; there is no & never will be, a good enough excuse for this cruel crime, whilst animal organisation exist to help!. But a former race horse that costs thousands, then doesn't race well, is more than often sent to slaughter or abandoned! I hope they find whomever she belonged to; then proceed with criminal charges! Then I hope Defense Team gets a forever home & is loved for the rest of her life!!!"
MIAMI, FL (February 17, 2014)
Defense Team, a Thoroughbred gelding, was rescued today by South Florida SPCA. Laurie Waggoner, SFSPCA director of ranch operations, received a mid-morning call from a Hialeah farmer who reported the former racehorse wandering along a road near one of his pastures, and that he looked "really bad…really skinny." Waggoner and members of the Hialeah police department found the horse ambling roadside, eating grass.
If you'd like to donate toward the care of Defense Team, please visit http://www.spca-sofla.org/donate/donate-now and indicate that it is for Defense Team at checkout.
"His body condition score is a 1," said Waggoner, referring to the lowest score on the Henneke System of Body Condition Scoring (view chart.) Fortunately, Defense Team does not appear to be lame or have any other major issues or injuries. He will receive routine vaccinations and a Coggins test, along with farrier attention to his hooves which appear to have been neglected for some time.
The horse's tattoo number matched that of Defense Team, and SFSPCA learned he was foaled in Florida on April 6, 1999. He was purchased in Ocala, FL for $6,000, and raced only once at Calder on December 28, 2001 where he finished 11 out of a field of 12. (View pedigree.)
I will never comprehend why humans can throw animals out like trash; or just abandon them….heartbreaking!!!
Waggoner noted Defense Team seemed very happy to be found, loaded easily on her trailer and was welcomed to the SFSPCA ranch in Homestead with a nice, safe stall and a tasty flake of hay.
If you'd like to donate toward the care of Defense Team, please visit www.spca-sofla.org/donate/donate-now and indicate that it is for Defense Team at checkout.
Report horses or other large livestock animals that appear to be abandoned, abused or neglected. Call 911 for emergencies, or 305-4-POLICE (Miami-Dade, FL) for non-emergencies.

While a high-profile ordinance that would ban the use of horse-drawn carriages in New York City has not yet reached the city council, the proposed legislation has drawn criticism from carriage operators as well as from a veterinarian who believes such a ban is not necessarily in the horses' best interest.

Last year, Allie Feldman, executive director of New Yorkers for Clean, Livable, and Safe Streets (NYCLASS), called for a citywide ban on horse-drawn carriages on grounds that the carriages were inhumane. At that time, she said 16 members of the New York City council would support an ordinance that would replace horse-drawn cabs with electric vintage replica cars. In January, newly-elected New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio said he would back any legislation that would ban the operation of horse-drawn carriages in the city. However, Feldman said that, so far, no legislation has reached the members of the New York City council.
"We haven't introduced a bill and we haven't even named a sponsor yet," said Feldman.
Meanwhile, horse carriage owners and operators oppose such legislation on grounds that their industry is already heavily regulated, and their horses are well-protected under a current law. Stephen Malone, spokesman for the Horse and Carriage Association of New York and a 30-year owner/operator of horse-drawn carriages in the city, said an ordinance passed in 2010 gives carriage horses at least five weeks of vacation each year, bigger stalls, and quality veterinary and farrier care. "Whoopy fxxxxxg do…5 weeks of vacation a year, still isn't sufficient!!
"This industry is regulated enough," Malone said.
At the same time, Malone said the proposed ordinance would force him to relinquish his horses in order to make sure the animals never work again.
"These horses are not just business assets to me, they are my business partners," Malone said. "They are not business partners, they are slaves that are over worked; nose to exhaust pipe up to 9 hours a day!!"
The lack of work is just one reason why veterinarian Sarah Ralston, VMD, PhD, Dipl. ACVN, a professor in the Rutgers University Department of Animal Sciences, opposes legislation that would take these horses from their owners and force them into permanent retirement on yet unspecified farms.
Ralston said regular work and a set routine helps to keeps horses healthy and enhances the animals' quality of life. "Sorry, did she really say ' enhances the animals' quality of life'?? What utter bxxxxxxt! Making a horse walk on concrete, nose to exhaust pipe, dodging traffic, up to 9 hours a day; could cause severe leg & hoof damage which would give no horse a decent quality of life!"
"The carriage horses, on the whole, are showing no signs of distress or unwillingness to work when asked to do so," asserted Ralston. "They are well adapted to their environment. If they weren't, they would not last long on the streets." " Well I would bet if they had a say in the matter, horses wouldn't want to be on the streets. It's not a willingness to work, they don't have much say in the matter; they are forced to work!"
More importantly, Ralston said, such legislation sets a dangerous precedent for horses as well as for the humans who look after them.
"If a horse is in its stall without access to pasture, but is getting quality basic care and regular exercise, should we say that this horse is being abused, or is it cruel to ask a horse to do a job that it is well-trained for and capable of doing without distress?" Ralston said. "No it's not cruel to keep a horse in it's stall, my horse is in over winter, as are most, to let the pastures rest!.But she goes on the walker twice a day & goes in the working arena twice a day; to let off steam & have a roll around with the other horses; so that isn't cruel! But I do think it is cruel to make a horse work on concrete for up to 9 hours, surrounded by noise, fumes & dodging traffic; which I would say as a horse owner, would cause some amount of stress!!"
"This is the norm for a majority of the horses kept in urban and suburban settings, and this (kind of legislation) sends a terrible precedent that should have the entire horse industry up in arms." "Sorry but horses are flight animals that could react in a second to a certain noise, which would put all parties in danger…I can't believe a vet would say a horse wouldn't be in distress…surrounded by loud noises & traffic…glad she's not my horses vet!!"

Meanwhile, Feldman declined to comment on whether NYCLASS will talk with horse-drawn carriage operators and others about what the proposed ordinance should contain.
"All I can say is that we intend to make sure our ordinance is fair and equitable to all parties," Feldman said.
While New York City's proposed ordinance is being prepared, lawmakers in Philadelphia, Pa.; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Chicago, Ill., are re-examining their own rules governing horse-drawn carriages.
In Philadelphia, Mark McDonald, press secretary to Mayor Michael Nutter, said the city has no current plans to ban horse carriages there. Instead, a working group is reviewing regulations already on the city's books.
"The (working group) will focus on licensing and enforcement of our (regulations) regarding carriage horses and the stables that house them," he said.
In Salt Lake City, City Council Chairman Charlie Luke said council members voted to support an amendment to the city's existing ordinance on Feb. 4. In part, the amendment regulates the ages of carriage horses, authorizes random drug testing of drivers, and requires carriage companies to educate the public about the carriage trade and how carriage horses are cared for. Luke also said the ordinance puts under contract the company that provides horse-drawn carriages in Salt Lake City.
"The contract gives us more leverage to regulate the industry," Luke said.
Finally in Chicago, Donal Quinlan, press secretary to Ald. Ed Burke, said Burke introduced legislation on Feb. 5 that would cease the city's issue of new horse-drawn carriage licenses until all such licenses have expired. That ordinance, which is backed by Mayor Rham Emanuel, remains pending in the Chicago city council.

Thursday 9 January 2014
Most animal charities & the public want to see a ban worldwide of wild animals being used in circuses. Now the owner of this circus is circulating his own petition to keep his Malta circus open. So please if you don't agree with animals performing degrading tricks, kept behind bars & of course the cruelty that has been documented in circuses: PLEASE SIGN THE PETITIONS BELOW. We can't let this circus continue, if it does through its petition, the flood gates for circuses using wild animals may open again; that would be tragic after all the hard work has been done to stop them!!
Circus promoter says 2013 could be last year for animal circuses in Malta due to the proposed ban.
But circus promoter Silvio Zammit has collected 5,000 signatures as part of a petition to overturn a proposal to ban animal circuses.
The circus has now moved to Ghajnsielem, Gozo, where Zammit hopes to continue collecting more signatures. The petition will then be passed on to the competent authorities.
Zammit, who has been bringing circuses to Malta for the past 16 years, said he could not allow the banning of animal circuses from Malta without taking any action.
"It was a personal initiative after finding out that the government had moved on to publish a White Paper proposing to ban animal circuses," he said.
See all the animals, such as, Long horn cattle, Donkeys, Lama, Camels, Lions, Tigers, Zebra, Elephant, Giraffe, Baboon, Horses, Ponies, Donkeys performing pitiful & degrading acts; acts they would never do in the wild. The animal acts stop at 12 mins; then the human artists perform!I believe the only thing not seen is the Hippo; but is in a video below!!

He argued that only 390 persons took part in the consultation process initiated by the government, of which 49% said they were against such a circus.
"We know that the majority of these were NGOs, and NGOs do not reflect popular opinion. I am doing this petition on my own. I know that there are many others who would like to sign it, but I have neither the time nor the manpower to go on a nation-wide petition," Zammit said.
He said he was "very happy" with the number of signatures collected: "This shows that the Maltese do love the circus. They won't flood the streets of Valletta with placards to support the circus."
He also said that a number of MPs from both sides of the House visited Circo Orfei this winter. "Some came with their children while others accompanied their grandchildren. They thanked me for the level of the show and all said they had fun," Zammit said.
He however refused to name them.
The debate as to whether Malta should ban animal circuses for good has been going on for a number of years, with animal rights NGOs insisting that circuses solely operate to maximise profits while completely disregarding the safety of the animals and the adverse effects they may impose.
Animal Rights Coalition said veterinarians only attend to the animal's physical needs and as a result, the psychological issues brought about by the circuses are not being addressed.
With a number of countries moving to ban animal circuses for good, Zammit said in Italy alone there were 800 circuses. He said the UK was one of the countries which will stop animal circuses as from next year. "But this was the result of many circuses caught mistreating their animals," he said, adding that the circus he brought to Malta did not see animals performing any tricks and only a minimal part of the show was dedicated to animals.
Zammit argued that the circus animals were born in captivity "and therefore they do not know otherwise. Their trainers threat them like their pets".
He said Animal Welfare Department officials and veterinarians made regular checks to verify that the animals were well-kept.
Circo Orfei's travelling team is made up of 60 people, whose living depends on the shows, Zammit said.
"This is their life. They are a community who live on the road and have been doing so for years on end. This is how they earn a living… their bread and butter," he said.
The Animal Rights Coalition has also called for a full ban on dolphinaria and aquaria. The coalition has said it was unjust to deny dolphins the right to roam free in their natural habitat and called for the ban on dolphinariums as these restrict the creatures to a mere pool.
The Coalition also said that this should extend to aquaria as in this case, animals are likewise being "confined to cages and restricted from roaming in their natural habitat".

But Zammit feels that two weights and two measures were being applied when talking about animal circuses and aquaria.
He also said that circuses gave people the opportunity to see animals which would otherwise require them to travel abroad to zoos or safaris.
He insisted that a proper discussion was required and said he agreed that animals like elephants, pandas and monkeys should be banned. "What we have in our circus are horses, ponies, donkeys and tigers," he said, adding that tigers in captivity lived for an average of 25 years while those in the wild lived for 12 years.
Circo Orfei also has a hippo and an emu as part of their travelling repertoire.

"WTF…looks like another garden ornament, left to fend for itself; certainly not given food or cared for in any way at all. I hope Molly's owners feel the full force of the law, they deserve to be starved & have tightened collars embedded in their necks…see how long they would last! I just wish there was a name & image of the owner, because everybody needs to know how cruel this pathetic turd is!"
"Kudos to all who helped & are still helping Molly to overcome her injuries; hopefully it won't be long before Molly has a new family who lavish her with love & affection!"
Molly, a Shepherd cross found near death, is happy and recovering in a foster home after being rescued from a horrifying cruelty situation near Port Hardy.
Dog Literally Skin & Bone…Appalling!!
Although she was found extremely emaciated, outside, in a deplorable state of neglect, Molly is making a good recovery in the loving care of a foster home.
A gentle soul, Molly is still thin but eating well and gaining weight in her warm, new home, where her personality shines brighter each day.
The BC SPCA cruelty investigations team has forwarded recommended charges to Crown Counsel.
Original story published Dec. 12, 2013
Horrifically emaciated dog, found near death, now safe in SPCA care.
An 18-month-old Shepherd-cross dog named Molly is alive against all odds after being rescued in one of the most horrific cruelty cases ever witnessed by the BC SPCA.
The RCMP in Port Hardy was called out on Nov. 25 in response to a complaint of animal cruelty. They discovered the extremely emaciated dog outside on her owner's porch. "She was in critical condition, non-responsive and shivering, with a collar deeply embedded in her neck," says Marcie Moriarty, the BC SPCA's chief prevention and enforcement officer. "The constable immediately rushed Molly to a nearby veterinary hospital, where staff provided emergency treatment to keep her alive and removed the embedded collar from her neck."
Embedded Collar
Once stabilized, she was transported to Nanaimo where the case was turned over to the BC SPCA for ongoing investigation. After receiving additional life-saving medical treatment, Molly has been placed in the care of an SPCA foster home as she recovers.
"She has gained some weight and is now able to walk, but she is still extremely emaciated," says Moriarty. "She is getting care around the clock and we are very hopeful that, despite the incredible odds against her, she will make a full recovery."
Moriarty says it is impossible to comprehend how anyone could allow a dog to slowly, and excruciatingly, starve to death. "We rescue thousands of animals from heartbreaking situations every year at the SPCA, but cases like this are particularly shocking," she says.
"The fact that Molly has survived is a true miracle and we are so grateful to the RCMP, the veterinary staff in Port Hardy and Nanaimo and all those who have played a role in her rescue and recovery."
Recovering Well
Molly has a long recovery process ahead and is expected to stay in foster care for several weeks before being placed in a new home.
The BC SPCA is continuing its investigation and will be recommending charges of animal cruelty against Molly's former owners.
The BC SPCA depends on community donations to fund its cruelty investigations work. To find out how you can make a difference for animals in need, visit spca.bc.ca/donate.
The BC SPCA is a non-profit organization funded primarily by public donations.
Our mission is to prevent cruelty and to promote the welfare of animals through a wide range of services, including cruelty investigations, emergency rescue and treatment, sheltering and adoption of homeless and abused animals, humane education, advocacy, farm animal welfare, spay/neuter programs, and wildlife rescue and rehabilitation.

"BE THE CHANGE…Please support this movie; donate what you can! Read the information, digest it, then share it will everyone you know! Nobody needs the skin of an animal except the animal, their fur is to protect them from the elements; not us!!! Please do whatever you can to stop this inhumane trade; read the MISSION statement below, read the links & sign petitions, thanks!"
Every year, more than 50 MILLION fur-bearing animals, including man's best friend and feline companion, are brutally murdered without mercy in the name of greed, vanity and ignorance. The fur trade is criminal and an atrocity at the lowest level of inhumanity. To address the issue of animal cruelty in our society is to address the complexity of the human condition and our collective consciousness, which perceives animals as commodities, rather than loving, sentient beings.
ABOUT THE MOVIE: This compelling film reflects the need of a changing society and its revolution for evolution – not a battle with armor but a quest for spiritual epiphany and the redemption of our planet.

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR:
This film speaks the voice of truth for those who cannot speak for themselves. It does not rely on gruesome images as a means to convey the message, but it does reveal the reality.
This precedent-setting film will unveil the spiritual truth behind the veil of a culture that perpetuates the holocaust of animals for personal gain. Its pure intent is to probe into the deeper level of the psyche, so that the nemesis can be healed.
If we cannot witness inhumanity, we cannot empower humanity, and we fail as a "human" species. If we are not willing to hear their cries or experience their terror, then we are not willing to bear witness to the truth, which is the only path to redemption and transformation.
This film is one that needs to be made, for it would be a tragedy of epic proportions to passively consent to the silence of mass murder for profit and self-aggrandizement.
I have asked myself the question: If not me, then who? Someone needs to make this film, to beckon the soul of humanity to awaken. That's us, you and me. If not us, then who? If not now, when?
Without our voice, the animals have no voice.
Thank you for your support of this critical film, on behalf of the animals and humanity on our planet.

Animal rights is the greatest social justice issue of our time
"A lie goes half way around the world before truth puts on its boots." – Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens)
What is the state of our world's conscience when we can tolerate the needless and horrific act of a sentient being skinned alive for its fur and empower the industry that profits from such atrocity?
Social responsibility, ecological preservation and evolution of consciousness are the challenges of this decade. It is evident that we have not yet fully evolved as a society when the unconscionable practices and cruelty of the fur trade, and the inhumane suffering of all afflicted animals, is still a reality in the 21st century. The killing of defenceless animals is an atrocity and reprehensible violation of the innocent, and should no longer be tolerated in a civilized and evolved society.
What is the price an innocent animal must pay for the sake of commerce, in the guise of fulfilling society's needs? Does our desire for material adornment outweigh human compassion and empathy?
How can we witness the massacre of innocent baby seals taken from their mother while nursing in Canadian waters and condone such an egregious act by continuing to invest in Canadian products, tourism and Canada's stock market?
What is the state of society's consciousness when man's "best friend" and "feline companion" are mutilated and heinously killed for the skin on their bodies? Where are the laws to protect them? And why do we continue to invest in China and export their products to North America?
The impetus that drives the fur trade is the fashion industry, and film is the most powerful medium in which to convey the truth.
This precedent-setting film will leave an indelible imprint on the soul of humanity, intuitively evolving the collective consciousness toward sustainable change by bridging the link to cruelty through the soul perspective, with its center on the fur trade as a paradigm of a larger nemesis permeating our world.
AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY ON OUR PLANET
This critical film is a calling for transformational social evolution.
The impact of the film's message will intuitively evolve the collective consciousness toward fundamental and sustainable change and iinstilthe principles of compassion, empathy, love and humanity on our planet, and in turn, save the lives of countless animals around the globe. The power of respect will change our world.
We will unite in a new world paradigm that stands in the power of good that will forever overcome the forces of evil and harm to all sentient beings and mother earth.
The way our animals are treated is the moral and spiritual compass of our humanity.
The World Will Change Through You. No Other Means Can Save It.
IF NOT YOU, THEN WHO? IF NOT NOW, WHEN?

Distressing news on Thursday when the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal's Law Enforcement Division joined with the Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office and issued two search warrants for the Hunterdon Humane Animal Shelter on Stamets Road in Alexandria Road and a nearby veterinarian hospital.
According to N.J.com, Captain Rick Yocum, the president of the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals stated an investigation has been ongoing because of complaints about inhumane conditions at the facility.
Seventeen cats were removed and were transported to the Flemington Animal Hospital. Four of the cats were humanely euthanized. All of the animals have been receiving medical attention. The facility failed to quarantine sick cats with respiratory infections thus spreading illness to healthy cats.
There are also two pigs living in terrible condition at the facility. A decision from the Department of Agriculture will determine their fate.
Charges are expected to be filed within a week to ten days.

MAHOPAC — A Mahopac man who shot and killed a Canada goose near Lake Ossi faces an animal-cruelty charge, police said.
Putnam County SPCA officers were dispatched to the Lake Ossi neighborhood Monday after a resident reported seeing a man shooting a Canada goose and leaving its body near the shore, police said.
SPCA officers responded with state Department of Environmental Conservation police and spoke with the man, who was seen walking away from the lake.
They determined that Gregory Stefkovic, 44, of Mahopac had shot and killed the goose with a .177 caliber air rifle. Stefkovic explained that he shot the goose because the birds left too much feces by the lake, making it unsafe for children to play there.
SPCA police charged him with animal cruelty, a misdemeanor, while DEC police issued several summons for hunting violations, police said.
Stefkovic is due in Carmel Town Court on June 11.

"My apologies for the graphic image, but this type of heinous cruelty needs to be seen by the public; so they can see what sort of monsters are out there! If you see any strange or suspicious looking behaviour, between kids or adults, messing around with animals…it could end up in a similar tragedy to this…so please stay vigilant, don't keep quiet…if it looks & sounds wrong, it probably is wrong!!"
"WTF… seriously, if ANYONE is friends, know's or lives with the person that did this, then I would be very worried about your own safety too! Just because you're a friend doesn't mean this repugnant vermin won't turn on you!! Only the mind of a demented, deviant psychopath, could purposefully set fire to a tiny kitten. What happens when they have grown tired of inflicting pain on innocent animals, they may turn to children; anyone they can intimidate & manipulate! Could you have that on your conscience, knowing you could have stopped this sadistic bully; by just speaking up now?"
"This horrific attack happened last week, can anyone remember someone coming home; smelling of flammable liquid or who may have had burns or singe marks on their clothing or shoes…Or…perhaps someone has overheard a person boasting or bragging about setting fire to a kitten? Just remember, those who commit crimes of this nature, normally don't stop, because of a fine or even jail!! they will soon strike again! Somebody knows who did this, please help put an end to this now. If you know anything, that may help catch the monstrosity that did this, please contact the number below!!"
A $5,000 REWARD is being offered to help authorities catch whoever intentionally set fire to a kitten found in Kensington last week.
A woman recovered the 4- to 5-week-old male kitten last Thursday at Allegheny Avenue and F Street. Authorities said the kitten suffered burns over more than one-third of his body, with most of the burns on his head and back.
The Humane Society of the United States announced the reward yesterday, citing the "depraved act of cruelty."
"This is the latest in a disturbing string of animals apparently being intentionally lit on fire," Sarah Speed, Pennsylvania state director for the Humane Society, said in a statement. "This depraved act of cruelty will not be tolerated, and we hope this reward will encourage anyone with information to come forward and help bring the perpetrator to justice."
The kitten is being treated at Crown Veterinary Hospital in Lebanon, N.J., and is expected to recover.
The Pennsylvania SPCA is investigating. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call 866- 601-SPCA (7722). – By Solomon Leach

Authorities: Telford Man Sparked Other Animal Welfare Concerns

Heitz III, Franconia, Goat, Humane Society, Police, Wednesday	Comments Off on Authorities: Telford Man Sparked Other Animal Welfare Concerns
A Telford man facing a spate of animal cruelty and weapons charges in connection with his arrest last month has been on animal welfare authorities' radar for nearly two years, according to Tracie Graham — a Humane Society police officer and shelter manager with the Montgomery County SPCA.
Graham said that since late 2011, she and other Humane Society officials have been investigating 52-year-old Earl C. Heitz III, of the 100 block of Forrest Road, on suspicion of animal cruelty and failure to provide proper care for animals.
Heitz was arrested at his home by Franconia Township police on March 21 and arraigned on 27 charges — including 21 counts of cruelty to animals and three counts of felony illegal firearm possession — after a report of an injured goat led officers to his residence.
MCSPCA seized 24 animals from the property, "which are being housed and cared for," said Graham, who — citing the ongoing nature of the case — did not disclose the medical condition of any of the animals. She said that the removed animals included 11 puppies, three chinchillas, two goats, two roosters, two guinea fowl, two parrots, one iguana and one cat.
On Wednesday, Heitz had his preliminary hearing before District Judge Kenneth Deatelhauser of Souderton continued for a second time. Court personnel did not provide a reason for the continuance. Heitz remains free after posting $50,000 bail on March 22.
"This is not the first time there's been a problem like this with (Heitz)," according to Graham. She said that on Feb. 19, she filed four non-traffic summary citations for animal cruelty against Heitz with District Judge Catherine Hummel-Fried of Red Hill. That was in regard to 40 animals — including goats, horses and cattle — Heitz allegedly keeps on an Upper Salford property that's owned by someone else, said Graham, adding that those animals have not yet been seized from the property.
"We are going to be requesting forfeiture of all of the animals," she said.
Court records show that the four citations are in the process of being transferred from Hummel-Fried's court — Graham explained that she is trying to have them consolidated into Heitz's criminal case in connection with his March arrest.
According to police, just after 1 p.m. on March 21, officers were dispatched to Heitz's property after receiving a tip that a goat on a nearby road had been struck by a vehicle and appeared to have a broken jaw, and that several dogs were running up and down Heitz's driveway.
When officers approached the house to locate the homeowner, the criminal complaint states, they found the front door wide open, announced their presence but got no response and then, "not knowing if the homeowner was injured or incapacitated," entered the residence for a well-being check.
Inside, officers found "deplorable conditions," according to the affidavit: Animal feces in every part of the home, a dead fish on the floor of an upstairs bedroom and a number of live animals both inside and outside the home, including puppies, goats, chickens, chinchillas and birds. Police said they also found three .22 caliber rifles inside the house, which authorities took for safekeeping since the house was open "and anyone would have access to the firearms."
The MCSPCA and Humane Society then responded to the scene and made the decision to take the 24 animals into protective custody, the complaint states, and an official from Franconia Township was also called in to inspect the property. The township made the determination to condemn the property and posted an official notice to that effect on the front door of the house that afternoon.
Police said that as they were leaving the property, Heitz returned and asked what was going on. According to the affidavit, Heitz was advised that authorities were called to the property because of the goat that had been injured, that the MCSPCA had taken his animals, that the township had condemned the property and he was not permitted inside the house and that he needed to leave the property immediately.
Shortly after 5 p.m. that same day, police received a call that someone was at the house and there were dogs running on the property, court papers state, and while officers were en route back to the property, they learned from the Montgomery County District Attorney's office that Heitz was convicted of a felony drug charge in 1992 and thus was prohibited from possessing firearms. Police said they were advised by an assistant district attorney to make an arrest based on that information.
Upon arrival, Franconia police — observing that the township's condemned property notice had been removed from the front door — knocked on the door, and when Heitz came to the door he was taken into custody without incident.
A new date for Heitz's preliminary hearing has not yet been scheduled, court records show.
According to information posted online by the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department, Heitz's Forrest Road property is listed for Sheriff's Sale on May 29.

Should High Gas Costs Drive Buyer Behavior?
Historically, some people who work in Harrisonburg have chosen to live outside of Harrisonburg where housing is somewhat more affordable. Two classic examples of this are Weyers Cave (14.4 miles away) and Broadway (12.9 miles away). Both Weyers Cave and Broadway have offered home buyers housing at somewhat lower prices, within a reasonable commute to Harrisonburg.
But with gas costs going higher and higher, could (or should) this buyer behavior change?
The distances above (14.4m, 12.9m) were city-center to town-center. We'll round up, and say the one-way commute for a fictitious commuter is 15 miles. We'll assume a somewhat gas-hungry vehicle that will drive 20 miles per gallon of gas. With current (4/29/2008) gas costs around $3.60, the one-way commute has a gas cost of $2.70. Driving both ways to and from work, 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year, equates to an annual cost of $1,350.
If someone lived in Harrisonburg instead (and still worked in Harrisonburg), their commute might be 3 miles, which would equate to an annual cost of $270. Thus, the cost savings in gas consumption (relative to the work commute) of living in Harrisonburg instead of Broadway or Weyers Cave is approximately $1,080 per year.
That $1,080 per year, or $90 per month, if used to allow the home owner to afford a larger mortgage payment, would allow for a home purchase of $13,500 greater. That is to say that a $200,000 home ($40k down, 6% rate) would have an $1,100 monthly payment, and a $213,500 home ($40k down, 6% rate) would have an $1,190 monthly payment.
So, the question then becomes, does a $200,000 home in Broadway or Weyers Cave cost $213,500 in Harrisonburg, or more, or less?
Though the data in my example is limited, it seems that even accounting for the commuting cost of living in Broadway or Weyers Cave, you can still buy a (somewhat) larger, (somewhat) newer house in those communities as opposed to Harrisonburg.
The Virginia Association of Realtors recently released their First Quarter 2008 housing market report, entitled "The Virginia Housing Market in Uncertain Times."
The word "uncertainty" sums up the current housing market. A national recession, foreclosures on the rise, tight credit markets, potential federal legislation—all of these factors make it difficult to predict where the market is going. In Virginia, the housing market is performing better than in some other states, although certain local markets within the state are in for a rocky 2008.
The report, provided by George Mason University's Office of Housing Policy Research, is based in part on reported sales from around the state of Virginia.
The methodology is slightly different than my recent April report, but the numbers are very close. Essentially, sales are down, but prices are up. In the Harrisonburg-Rockingham area, the number of sales was down 21%, but the median price was up 5%, and the average price was up 14%.
For even more insight into the first quarter of home sales around Virginia, listen to this media conference call where Realtors from around Virginia (myself included), and staff from George Mason University provide commentary to the media on this recent report.
In almost all circumstances, buyers should pre-qualify for a mortgage before starting to look for a home.
In short, it means providing basic financial information to a lender so they can give you a preliminary indication of how much money they are willing to lend you for the purchase of a home.
A lender can be either a bank, a mortgage company, or a mortgage broker. A bank offers banking services and accounts as well as offering loans. A mortgage company is just in the business of making loans. A mortgage broker contacts multiple "funding sources" on behalf of a home buyer to find the best loan.
How hard is it to get "pre-qualified"?
It is not difficult at all --- in fact, it can be done over the phone in about 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can set up an appointment with a lender to get "pre-qualified."
What is the lender doing when they pre-qualify me?
They will be inquiring as to your income, expenses, assets and liabilities. How much do you make per month from your job, and any other income sources? What monthly payments do you already have, such as a car loan, or credit card payments? What other assets do you own, such as a car, boat, additional residence, etc? What other debt do you have, such as another mortgage, personal loans, etc? After having collected this information, they will look at your credit score, and your "debt ratios".
What is a "debt ratio"?
This is a comparison of your potential monthly housing costs and your monthly income. Some programs, for example, don't like to see more than 28% of your gross monthly income going towards housing expenses.
This varies from lender to lender, but my general understanding of the distinction is that a pre-approval involves submitting all of your information to an "automated underwriting program" to be able to give you a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac pre-approval.
Why should I pre-qualify first?
Having been pre-qualified for a mortgage gives you a realistic idea of how much of a mortgage you can obtain, or want to obtain. This will guide us as we set your home search criteria, so that we are not considering homes that would not be possible for you to purchase.
There might be a difference between what I can get, and what I want to get?
Absolutely! I have frequently run into situations where a lender will tell my client that they can borrow an amount that would lead to a monthly payment that the borrower is not at all comfortable making. Sometimes the limit is set by the limit from the lender, and sometimes the limit is set by the comfort level of the borrower.
To start, just talk to one lender to get a general idea of how much money you can borrow for your home purchase. Then, when we have found a home for you to purchase, you can check with multiple lenders to make sure you are getting the best loan terms (interest rate, closing costs, etc).
There are likely tens or hundreds of other questions that I could have addressed here. Feel free to ask other questions in the comments of this post, or by e-mailing me at scott@cbfunkhouser.com. I am not a lender myself, but I have become quite familiar with the lending process through assisting many real estate clients in analyzing mortgage options over the years.
Change Is Here . . . We Must Adapt!
There are quite a few local and national changes occurring right now that greatly affect buyers and sellers. Let's contemplate how we must prepare and adjust.
Slower Home Sales . . .
Aside from October and November of 2007, home sales have been lower each of the last 18 months than the same month a year prior. (see this graph) The lower number of home sales wouldn't be a problem if there were also a lower number of homeowners trying to sell their homes. This, however, is not the case --- not by a long shot.
In the first quarter of 2008, a total of 192 homes sold, and 523 came on the market. In other words, for every home that is sold, 2.7 homes are coming on the market. Wow! Last year wasn't quite as bad, as 255 homes sold in the first quarter, and 329 came on the market. During that time period, for every home that was sold, 1.3 homes came on the market.
As a seller, you must be realistic about the potential pace of your home selling. As a buyer, realize that homes that have been on the market for many months aren't necessarily bad homes --- with more and more inventory, and fewer sales, "days on the market" is bound to increase.
Fewer Mortgage Options . . .
Over the past 6-12 months, the mortgage industry has drastically changed, eliminating loan programs and increasing requirements. This has created a lending climate that makes it more difficult for a buyer to obtain financing, and yet, if they do obtain financing --- it will be at historically low interest rates!
As a seller, you ought to require a recently dated pre-approval letter with any offers. As a buyer, you need to devote plenty of time to researching your options for lenders and for loan programs.
Appreciation Remains, But . . .
Median sales price increased 8% between March 2007 and March 2008. And when analyzing year-to-date home sales (Jan-Mar 2007 vs Jan-Mar 2008), the median sale price increased 5%. It is great to see that home values are continuing to rise, despite fewer sales --- but there are certainly homes that have appreciated less than 5% in the past year.
Over the past five years, many homeowners became convinced that buying even if you might have to sell 12-24 months later was still a great idea. We likely need to revert back to prior thinking --- that you only ought to buy if you will be in the home for 3-5 years. With lower appreciation rates (5-8%, compared to 10-15% in recent years past), some homeowners have found themselves unable to sell their homes without losing money when purchasing and selling closing costs are considered.
Print It, Pocket It, Prove Those Skeptics Wrong!
Have you been hearing whispers (or shouts) of "home prices are plummeting" or "real estate is a terrible investment" lately? Prove them wrong! Click on the graphic below to download and print my April 2008 Harrisonburg & Rockingham County Home Sales Report.
Show your neighbors, show your friends --- home prices are up!
While prices are up, home sales are down. This is discouraging to many, especially those who have had their homes on the market for quite some time.
This is not an encouragement to go buy a home without understanding the market. Despite a 5% increase in median sales price in the last 12 months, not every house will increase in value by 5% in the next 12 months.
Median sales price is not a perfect measure of changes in home values. It depends on a relatively consistent amount of high priced homes selling, and a relatively consistent amount of low priced homes selling. Earlier this year, in response to a comment on my blog, I took a brief look at whether that has happened. Details here, down in the comment section.
That doesn't mean that it is particularly easy or fast to sell your home right now -- but compared to the last six months, and the coming twelve months, now may be the most likely time that your home will sell.
Despite lower sales in 2008 than in 2007, and lower sales in 2007 than 2006, sales in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County have continued (in large part) to follow normal month-to-month trends. October-November of 2007 was a bit of an abnormality, but otherwise, you'll see that month-to-month, buyers are coming into and out of the market at the same (proportional) rate as in previous years.
This means, that in June, July and August, we will likely have the largest number of closings for the year -- which shouldn't come as any surprise to you. I mention this, however, because some people hear the national news (sales down, prices down), or the local news (sales down by 20%, prices up by 5%), and assume that the month-to-month sales are rather flat, and that it is always a terrible time to sell. Not so. Your home is much more likely to be purchased in the next few months (contract in April, May or June with a closing in June, July or August) than any other time of the year.
I'm certainly willing to be proven wrong -- sales during the next few months could defy prior years' month-to-month trends -- but I doubt that will occur.
For some time now, I have been posting the details of foreclosures on my blog. I began to post all Harrisonburg and Rockingham County foreclosures because I have had clients interested in buying foreclosed properties. I'm making a change starting today, that I believe will still well serve my clients, and those interested in foreclosure properties.
Terrible Opportunities - where the original amount borrowed (or my estimate of its current balance) is at or above the assessed value. Here is one example, where the original loan was for $231k, and the current assessed value is $157k.
Good Opportunities - where the original amount borrowed (or my estimate of its current balance) is close to, but below, assessed value. Here is one example, where the original loan was for $270k, and the current assessed value is $316k.
Great Opportunities - where the original amount borrowed (or my estimate of its current balance) is well below the assessed value. Here is one example, where the original loan was $87k, and the current assessed value is $196k.
Investors who hope to flip foreclosure homes (buy, fix, sell for profit) would likely be interested in the "great opportunities."
Buyers looking for a home for themselves would likely be interested in the "good opportunities," and certainly the "great opportunities" as well.
I have yet to meet someone who is interested in the "terrible opportunities," mainly because they aren't likely to be able to buy them at a reasonable price -- the bank will take the houses.
Unfortunately, for those who hope to do well buying a foreclosed home, most foreclosures in this area fall into the "terrible opportunities" category. For example, yesterday a home on Chestnut Oak Lane was in the Daily News Record with an original loan amount of $343,920 --- and an assessed value of $316,700.
As I move forward, I will only be posting the foreclosure properties that I would categorize as a "good" or "great" opportunity.
Currently, property owners in the City of Harrisonburg are taxed at a rate of $0.59 per $100 of assessed value. In other words, a $225,000 home is a tax liability of $1,328 per year.
Thus, since real estate values almost always increase in Virginia, unless the City lowers its tax rate, taxes will also almost always increase!
And so, this year (2008), the City of Harrisonburg finds itself going through the process of notifying Harrisonburg property owners that they are proposing a real property tax increase. No, they aren't increasing the tax rate ($0.59), but the effective taxes will increase because of increased property values.
Property Assessments increased by 6.45% between 2007 and 2008.
To keep the sum of the tax liability for all property owners the same as last year, the City would have to lower the tax rate from $0.59 per $100 of assessed value to $0.5543 per $100 of assessed value.
Thus, the effective rate increase is the difference of these two tax rates, an increase of $0.0357 per $100 of assessed value, which is a 6.4% tax increase.
Certainly, some property owners will see more (or less) of an increase in their tax liability -- but as a whole, by keeping the tax rate at $0.59, the City is increasing taxes by 6.4%.
Do you have questions or opinions about this tax increase? You are welcome to voice them here on my blog, in the comment section. Additionally, a public hearing will take place on May 13, 2008 at 7:00 PM in the Harrisonburg Council Chambers located at 409 South Main Street, Harrisonburg, Virginia.
Buy A Home, While Supplies Last!
OK --- perhaps that wasn't the most fitting title --- supply continues to be very high in several price ranges in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County.
The graphic above is an illustration of the relationship between our market's supply and demand in four price ranges.
The numbers (6, 10, 13, 22) represent the months of supply of properties currently available based on average demand per month in each price range, during the past twelve months.
Wait a minute! What was that?? A 20% down payment is now required to buy a home?? As much as some fear that we are headed in that direction, that is not at all the truth. While 100% financing is harder and harder to find, that is not an indication that a 20% down payment is now required on all purchases. There are quite a few programs that only require a 3% - 5% down payment.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not encouraging financing more of your purchase than is necessary --- if you have a 20% down payment, that's fantastic! However, don't be mislead by the Daily News Record article and think that you must now save up a 20% down payment before buying a home.
Home sales (closings) continue to be lower than in last year's market, by 22-24%, however, buyer activity is very close to last year, with 124 contracts ratified in March 2008, as compared to 125 contracts ratified in March 2007.
Per 'median sales price" standards, home prices continue to rise, somewhere between 5% and 8% per year.
Supply continues to increase at an unsustainable pace. In March 2008, 183 properties came on the market, while only 91 sold, and only 124 sellers ratified contracts.
In March 2008, Harrisonburg and Rockingham County home sales took a big jump up, to 91 sales, as compared to 51 in February, and 50 in January.
We have almost always seen a dramatic jump between February and March sales -- most likely a seasonal effect.
March 2008 sales, despite having increased over prior months, were lower than four out of the previous five years' March figures.

Are CMA's Just For Sellers?
Not at all! They are for buyers as well!
First, a CMA is a comparative (or "competitive", depending on who you ask) market analysis --- or, an analysis that compares one property (the "subject property") to other similar properties that have either recently sold, or are on the market. As I explain to my clients, my CMA's attempt to account for all significant aspects and characteristics of a home including square footage, functional space,age, style, condition, and more.
House is worth $200,000, but listed at $250,000. Buyers try to negotiate 10% off, and offer $225,000. Negotiations fizzle.
House is worth $200,000 and listed at $195,000. Buyers try to negotiate 10% off, and offer $175,500. Another buyer comes along and buys the house for $193,000.
This illustrates the great need for a buyer to understand the segment (location, price, etc) of the market in which they are buying. Once a buyer has settled on a particular property, an great way to provide the buyer a context for making an offer is to perform a CMA, to compare the property to similar, recently sold homes.
My parents live in Frederick, Maryland, but are currently in Harrisonburg visiting for a few days. In talking to my dad earlier today, he made some very interesting observations about the real estate market in Frederick.
It was my dad's assessments that many properties in and around Frederick may have dropped in value as much as $50k - $100k over the past 1-2 years. His informal, and unscientific, gauge of this value change is based on having regularly looked through the real estate section of the Frederick paper, and seeing that buyers have been able to progressively purchase more and more of a house in the $300k-$350k price range (for example).
So --- what he is actually observing is a decrease in asking prices over the past 1-2 years, though it is likely that a relatively similar decrease has occurred in the actual selling price.
But --- here's the rub --- he also continues to see lots of houses priced $50k - $100k higher than the rest of the market would dictate that they should be. Some sellers seem to be refusing to accept that home values may have changed (rather significantly) in Frederick, Maryland.
To bring it back to Harrisonburg --- none of our price ranges have seen a $50k - $100k drop in value, but it is still the case that some sellers price their house within the context of a realistic understanding of our current real estate market --- and some sellers do not!
Mobile Search Is Live --- Let's Hit The Road!
Have you ever driven by a house for sale and wondered about the price or size of the home?
In the past, if brochures weren't available by the curb, you would have likely tried to memorize the street address, or jotted it down somewhere to look up the details online when you returned home, or to the office.
You no longer have to wait --- you can have instant gratification!
Inspired by Verizon Wireless's recent expansion of their EVDO network, I spent some time this past weekend building a mobile search platform.
On a web-enabled mobile phone, you can now quickly access the details of a property-for-sale, searching by street address, subdivision, or agent name.
Are you ready to start prowling your favorite neighborhoods? Just bookmark this address: http://m.scottprogers.com (My URL preceded by a "m." for mobile).
From having talked to many of my clients about this over the past few months, I think I have covered the top few search terms that would be necessary to pinpoint a property --- and I think I have some helpful information displayed when you view a property result. However, feel free to let me know if you have an idea for another helpful way to search while on the road.
Tickets are $2.00 per person, with children under 12 and Scouts in uniform gaining free admission. Coldwell Banker Funkhouser Realtors will have a booth on the lower level, highlighting our web site, the many new communities we represent, and some outstanding espresso beverages!

The judiciary has a congressionally mandated responsibility to serve as a check on Executive Branch overclassification and, as such, should review and order the disclosure of memos detailing federal policy on drone strikes against U.S. citizens, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and 37 media organizations argued in a friend-of-the-court brief filed today.
The brief pointed out that there has been a 40 percent increase in the use of Exemption 1 (national security or foreign policy) in denying Freedom of Information Act requests since 2010. "Through its amendments to FOIA in 1974, Congress sought to reign in Executive Branch overclassification by requiring courts to scrutinize whether agencies have properly classified documents they withhold under Exemption 1," the brief explained.
In New York Times v. Dept. of Justice before the U.S. Court of Appeals (2nd Cir.), The New York Times and American Civil Liberties Union are seeking to overturn a District Court ruling for summary judgment in favor of the government that deferred to the Executive Branch's decision regarding classification. The Times and the ACLU have requested copies of memos from the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel explaining the legal issues involved in the use of drones against U.S. citizens.
"Under FOIA, the judiciary plays a crucial independent role in assessing administration claims about national security to avoid the kind of rubber-stamp classification agreement we're seeing in this case," said Reporters Committee Executive Director Bruce D. Brown. "With anywhere from 50-to-90 percent of material admittedly overclassified, and classification decisions jumping from 16 million in 1980 to 90 million in 2011, the need for a check on the system is crucial.
In October, the Reporters Committee and 32 media organizations filed a similar brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., although in the case of Center for International Environmental Law v. Office of the United States Trade Representative the Reporters Committee asked the appeals panel to uphold the trial court's decision that the judiciary has the right to review classification decisions.

John Francis McGillicuddy (December 30, 1930 – January 4, 2009) was an American banking industry executive who oversaw the merger between Manufacturers Hanover Trust and Chemical Bank in the early 1990s.

McGillicuddy played football for Harrison High School and then attended Princeton University on a football scholarship, playing defensive back on the college's undefeated football teams in 1950 and 1951. His roommate at Princeton was fellow football player Dick Kazmaier, who won the Heisman Trophy for 1951. John McGillicuddy later attended Harvard Law School and was hired by the law firm of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett after serving in the United States Navy.

He was hired by Manufacturers Trust Company in 1958. He was elected to serve as the bank's president in 1970 at age 39, making him one of the youngest people ever to run a major banking company, after his predecessor R. E. McNeil, Jr. announced that he would be stepping down.

During New York City's fiscal crisis during the 1970s, McGillicuddy helped organize the financial aid needed to bail out the city. He later played a key role in the late 1970s in the Bailout of Chrysler, working to organize the government loan guarantees that helped that company avoid bankruptcy.

In 1991, as chairman and chief executive of Manufacturers Hanover, McGillicuddy was the chief architect of a merger with the Chemical Banking Corporation that was the largest bank merger in the United States to that time, helping both companies deal with difficulties arising from problem loans in previous years. Following the merger, McGillicuddy became the chairman and chief executive of the combined institution, remaining with the bank until his retirement in 1993 when he was to be followed by Walter V. Shipley, who had been the chairman of Chemical.

The merger ushered in a wave of consolidation in the banking industry that continued with Chemical purchasing Chase Manhattan Corporation and assuming that company's name in 1996 and a December 2000 deal with J.P. Morgan & Co. that formed JPMorgan Chase & Co.

McGillicuddy served on the boards of organizations and companies including the Boy Scouts of America, Kraft Foods, United Airlines and U.S. Steel.

McGillicuddy died at age 78 on January 4, 2009, at his home in Harrison, New York due to complications from prostate cancer. He was survived by his wife, the former Constance Burtis, five children and six grandchildren. McGillicuddy is interred at Greenwood Union Cemetery.

Hendrik I van Champagne (1126 - Troyes, 16 maart 1181), bijgenaamd de Vrijgevige, was graaf van Champagne.

Hendrik was de oudste zoon van Theobald IV van Blois en Mathilde van Sponheim-Karinthië. Hij nam deel aan de Tweede Kruistocht en kreeg van Bernardus van Clairvaux een aanbevelingsbrief voor keizer Alexios I Komnenos. In Constantinopel werd hij door Manuel I Komnenos tot ridder geslagen. Hij onderscheidde zich bij de oversteek van de Meander en nam op 24 juni 1148 deel aan het beraad van de edelen, waarin werd besloten om Damascus aan te vallen.

Bij de verdeling van de goederen van zijn overleden vader in 1152, koos Hendrik Champagne-Troyes, Bar, Nevers en Rethel. Zijn broers kregen de rijkere bezittingen in het midden van Frankrijk maar moesten Hendrik wel als hun heer erkennen. Hendrik was een uitstekend bestuurder die Champagne rust en welvaart bracht. De jaarmarkten van Champagne werden een begrip door heel Europa en Hendrik zorgde met een speciaal politiekorps voor de veiligheid van de markten en de reizende kooplieden. Hendrik liet meer dan 500 aktes na en een gedetailleerd register van zijn vazallen, hun rechten en plichten. Volgens dat register kon hij 2030 ridders mobiliseren en daarmee was Hendrik een van de machtigste feodale vorsten van zijn tijd.

Hij trouwde (1164) met Maria van Frankrijk (1145-1198), een dochter van koning Lodewijk VII van Frankrijk. Zij maakte van zijn hoofdstad Troyes een schitterend hof en begunstigde kunstenaars en wetenschappers. Hendrik benoemde de wetenschapper Stefanus van Alinerre tot zijn kanselier en stichtte zelf een bibliotheek in Troyes. Hendrik leefde op gespannen voet met de aartsbisschoppen van Reims totdat het hem lukte om zijn broer Willem op die positie te laten benoemen. Hij was een belangrijke en trouwe bondgenoot van de koning en huwelijkte zijn zuster Adelheid van Champagne aan hem uit als zijn derde vrouw (1160). Hendrik was een belangrijke diplomaat, zowel binnen Frankrijk als daarbuiten. In 1162 kreeg hij negen burchten als leen van keizer Frederik I van Hohenstaufen.

Hendrik stichtte lekenkloosters in Troyes, Bar-sur-Aube en Sézanne. Ook stichtte hij een ziekenhuis en de Stefanuskerk in Troyes. In 1179 bezocht Hendrik Jeruzalem. Op de terugweg werd hij gevangengenomen door sultan Kilij Arslan II. Nadat keizer Manuel I Komnenos een groot losgeld had betaald, werd hij vrijgelaten. Hendrik keerde terug naar Frankrijk, overleed twee jaar later en werd begraven in de Stefanuskerk te Troyes.

Hendrik was gehuwd met Maria van Frankrijk (1145-1198), dochter van Lodewijk VII. Zij kregen de volgende kinderen:
 Hendrik, koning van Jeruzalem
 Maria, gehuwd met graaf van Vlaanderen Boudewijn I van Constantinopel en keizer van het Latijnse Keizerrijk
 Calatia, soms Scholastica genoemd, († 1229), gehuwd met graaf Willem IV van Mâcon
 Theobald III van Champagne, opvolger van zijn broer als graaf van Champagne

Confessions of a B Movie Actor
Author: Bruce Campbell
Publisher: Aurum Press
Most Hollywood biographies are little more than 500-page musings on the 'when-I-met…' theme, filled with famous names, love affairs and clichés of a 'meteoric rise' or 'tragic fall'. Bruce Campbell's If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor is the boisterous antidote to such convention.
Campbell is the ultimate 'B' Movie actor. Star of the cult Evil Dead trilogy, with a CV that ranges from buddy Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, through The X-Files and Xena: Warrior Princess, to the less-than-glamorous Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, you've probably never heard of him. But his is one heck of a story!
The popularity of Bruce, the cult hero of cable TV and Hollywood's second rung, is burning brighter than ever, his legion of fans undiminished after over thirty years. Insightful, encouraging and brilliantly funny, If Chins Could Kill! is a brilliant place to start for those unfamiliar with his work. For everyone else, it acts as a wonderful reminder for just why they fell in love with him in the first place.

The Batman is a reboot of the Batman film franchise, which has starred Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck and more actors as the caped
crusaders. The Batman, which stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne (a.k.a. Batman), is based on the DC Comics superhero of the same name, who first debuted in 1939. The Batman comics follow Bruce, a wealthy playboy from Gotham City who fights crime as the superhero Batman after he witnesses the murder of his parents, Thomas and Martha, as a child. Pattinson is the 12th actor to play Batman in a major movie and the second actor to take on the role after Ben Affleck—who played Batman in the DC Extended Universe's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Justice League and The Flash—retired as the superhero.

That means you'll be able to enjoy the Dark Knight and Riddler's deadly chess game from the comfort of your front room from mid-April.

The Batman 2022 Available On Netflix?
From the mailbag, "Is The Batman 2022 available on Netflix?" No. Nor will it be anytime soon, for that matter!
It's hard to believe it has been 20 years since Wes Craven unleashed his horror film masterpiece "The Batman 2022" upon the world. A landmark film in many regards, it became an instant classic which has inspired countless filmmakers and spawned four sequels in just as many years. Because of this, we can expect many fun The Batman 2022-related tidbits to hit the media over the next few months, but for now, let's focus on a very simple question:
When Will The Batman 2022 On Disney+?
Disney and Marvel recently announced the first content stream for their new streaming service Disney+. Among all the live-action shows, there is one in particular that fans are excited about.
Will I Watch The Batman 2022 On HBO Max?
Yes — with a but. The Batman will be available for streaming on HBO Max, but not until 45 days after its theatrical release date. Let's discuss Warner Bros.' controversial "day-and-date" release plan. Last year, theater companies struck a deal with Warner Bros. to show the studio's 2022 slate on the big screen during a 45-day window. If The Batman had kept its original 2021 release date, it might have gone straight to HBO Max. But that's not the case.
years. Because of this, we can expect many fun The Batman 2022-related tidbits to hit the media over the next few months, but for now, let's focus on a very simple question:
Who's in the cast?
Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne / Batman
Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle / Catwoman
Paul Dano as Edward Nashton / Riddler
Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon
John Turturro as Carmine Falcone
Peter Sarsgaard as Gil Colson
Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth
Colin Farrell as Oswald "Oz" Cobblepot / Penguin
What's The Batman about?
Why mangle words? Here are Warner Bros.' exact words on the plot:
"In his second year of fighting crime, Batman uncovers corruption in Gotham City that connects to his own family while facing a serial killer known as the Riddler. Robert Pattinson delivers a raw, intense portrayal of Batman as a disillusioned, desperate vigilante awakened by the realization that the anger consuming him makes him no better than the ruthless serial killer he's hunting."
That's right! The highly anticipated drama series based on Kevin Williamson & Wes Craven's The Batman 2022 comic book will be included in the lineup of shows streamed on Disney+.
Is The Batman 2022 Available On Hulu?
Viewers are saying that they want to view the new TV show The Batman 2022 on Hulu. Unfortunately, this is not possible since Hulu currently does not offer any of the free episodes of this series streaming at this time. It will be exclusive to the MTV channel, which you get by subscribing to cable or satellite TV services. You will not be able to watch it on Hulu or any other free streaming service.
