Katy Perry's life is completely different compared to just two years ago. While promoting her upcoming third studio album Prism, the 28-year-old pop star gave a sneak peek into her life with boyfriend John Mayer — and why he's such a smarty pants, shedding some light on just how her life has changed since her divorce from comedian Russell Brand.
"He literally is a genius, as is evident from his songwriting," the "Roar" singer told Billboard in its latest issue about Mayer. "I always tell him, 'Darling, you know I'm going to have to give your mind to science after you've passed, because we're going to have to understand how all these sparks work.'"
One of the reasons Perry finds the 35-year-old "Say" singer so smart? He's a puzzle master! "We'll be in bed, and he'll be doing the crossword puzzle. Every night, he tries to finish it in under 10 minutes. When he puts his mind to something, he really gets it done very well. I always ask for his help."
The "Firework" star is focused on her new album — set to hit stores Oct. 22 — and is on a different path from just two years ago. In the Billboard interview, Perry also dishes on when veteran journalist Barbara Walters threw "shade" at her during Walters' Most Fascinating People of 2011 special. At the time, Perry knew her 14-month marriage to husband Brand was close to being over, and now admits she wish she never sat down for the chat.
"I shouldn't have done the interview: I was playing Madison Square Garden that same night, and I knew that the end of my marriage was coming," she recalled. "I'd prepped everyone that I was running late, but Barbara showed up at the original time anyway. When I got there, I apologized immediately, but then she said to me, 'You know, I've only ever waited for one other person this long, and you know who that person was? Judy Garland. You know how she turned out, right?'"
Perry added: "I was like, 'Oh, snap! Yes, bitch!' I think it's the coolest thing that Barbara Walters shaded me. I just couldn't tell her as we were sitting down for a mega-interview, 'Hey, my marriage is falling apart. Give me a break.'"
Brand, 38, would later file for divorce on Dec. 30, 2011, just two weeks after the special aired. The difficult situation Perry experienced at the time would soon lead to fighting off suicidal thoughts, which she then wrote about in her upcoming "By the Grace of God" track. "That song is evident of how tough it really was at a certain point. I asked myself, 'Do I want to endure? Should I continue living?'" she said. "All the songs are real-life moments. I can only write autobiographically. I put all the evidence in the music. I tell my fans if they want to know the real truth about stuff, just listen to the songs."

Virgin Media is now Sky
@"Cable TV company Virgin Media, for example, is unhappy with what it calls the closed nature of YouView"
Cable TV company Virgin Media is now owned by Sky. Sky don't like anything they can't control. Hence they will try to undermine the success of any service which undercuts them.
i.e. "BSkyB buys Virgin Media TV channels for £160m" http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/jun/04/bskyb-buys-virgin-media-channels
(British Sky Broadcasting Group (a.k.a. BSkyB; trading as Sky)
So Sky own Virgin Media. Oh and surprise surprise, the Monopolies and Mergers Commission have done fuck all about it. So Murdoch wins and the government does fuck all about it. (But then as the Monopolies and Mergers Commission had their name changed (in 1999) to a more PR friendly Competition Commission because implying they stopped Monopolies in their name may actually mean people would expect them to stop Monopolies!).
Anything which can cut out the Sky tax on all TV channels is very good news. I can't wait for IPTV services that bypass Murdoch's empire.

Dennis Quaid's representative has dismissed reports the actor is giving his on/off marriage another try.
The actor's third wife, Kimberly Buffington-Quaid, initially filed for divorce last March, but she retracted her petition two months later. She then requested a legal separation in October, and the star also took legal action to end the union in November.
TMZ.com reported last week that the couple had decided to give the relationship another go, but a spokesperson for Quaid has now shot down the gossip.
The rep tells E! News, "It is not true. They are divorcing."
Quaid is seeking joint custody of their 5-year-old twins, son Thomas and daughter Zoe Grace, in the divorce case.

It turns out Black Swan isn't the only film where Natalie Portman used a body double.
From the coverage of Your Highness, we've gauged two things: it's terrible, and you see Natalie Portman in a thong. While we're willing to believe the first part is still true, the second may be in question. Says the always scrupulously accurate Daily Mail, "In fact, the actress is said to have avoided diving into an icy lake in Belfast and a local Irish girl was paid just £250 to take the plunge instead." (And no, even with the exchange rate, that's not much.) But, don't worry: they hired the double, the Sun assures us, "not because her behind isn't up to scratch." (There are numerous blurry pics of said ass if you're really concerned; we weren't.)
The jumper was apparently one Caroline Davis, a student from Ulster who told The Sun, "I'm a film studies student so I jumped at the chance to be on set." And, apparently, to be in the icy water. Well, from this we gather that the standing shot is still Portman, for those purists out there, so it doesn't seem like much of a story. Unless Natalie Portman has been going around, claiming she caught a chill or something, and that the rigors of leaping into this lake should implicitly earn her an Oscar, it kind of has nothing to do with the (actual) Black Swan mini-scandal. It's only surprising that anyone's openly allying themselves with this bomb.

Sam Phillips was the proprietor of Sun Records in Memphis when an 18-year old Elvis Presley strolled in one day to use the studio's vanity recording service. Legend (repeated in the obituary linked below) has it that he wanted to record a song as a gift for his mother; the essential Elvis biographer/historian Peter Guralnick believes it was because he wanted to hear what he sounded like.
In any event, he made an impression on Phillips or Phillips' secretary Marion Keisker. The following year they invited him back to record as the vocalist with Scotty Moore and Bill Black. The three labored at some length to find a song they could bring to life. When Elvis finally got them to play around with "That's Alright, Mama," and they committed a take to record, you can tell they felt something akin to what Columbus must have felt when he stumbled on America, and they were right. The sheer joy of discovery jumps off the grooves.
Yet Elvis was not by any stretch the only artist discovered by Sam Phillips. The roster of artists discovered by Phillips itself makes out a partial history of American popular music: B.B. King, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Rich, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and many others. The man had an incredible ear for talent.
Phillips died today at the age of 80: "Record producer Sam Phillips dead at 80." He is survived by the music. RIP.

|Jul. 2019
|Today is Jul. 16, 2019
There are currently no upcoming concerts and/or events of A Silver mt. Zion, at this moment.
Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra (previously A Silver Mt. Zion, The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band, The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-La-La Band with Choir and Thee Silver Mountain Reveries) is a Canadian band which formed in 1999, originating from Montreal, Quebec. They use a number of different variations of the name on different releases, but the group use the shorthand SMZ and their name is most often simplified to Silver Mt. Zion. Since their inception, the group has undergone almost yearly personnel changes. The band currently has five members following the resignation of three in late 2008.
The band has released seven studio albums and one EP, publishing them through the record label Constellation. Their debut album He Has Left Us Alone but Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corner of Our Rooms… was released in 2000 and—with the exception of two tracks—is a purely instrumental record. As other records were created, their sound and membership progressively changed from a trio to a quintet. By the release of Horses in the Sky, the group became overwhelmingly vocal in its style.
The album Kollaps Tradixionales was released in February 2010. It consists of seven songs, three of which previously debuted at live performances. Another album Fuck Off Get Free We Pour Light on Everything was released January 2014.
Silver Mt. Zion's music has been described as "post-rock", though the band members are hesitant to use the term.Singer and guitarist Efrim Menuck identifies with punk rock ethos and aesthetic.
According to an interview with VPRO Radio in the Netherlands, Silver Mt. Zion originally began as a project in which Efrim Menuck hoped to learn how to score music. Already a guitarist in the Montreal-based musical collective Godspeed You! Black Emperor, he explained that he hoped to communicate better with his fellow musicians by getting familiar with music theory. This idea was soon abandoned as Menuck realized that he preferred not knowing precisely what he was doing when writing, opting to "fumble" instead.
The Silver Mt. Zion project, however, continued. Menuck's decision to record an album was partly inspired by the death of his dog Wanda, who died while he was on tour with Godspeed You! Black Emperor. It also served as an outlet, allowing him to experiment with ideas and sounds he did not feel that he could effectively create through Godspeed You! Black Emperor's collective, consensus format. Seeking help in the album's creation, Menuck enlisted violinistSophie Trudeau and bassist Thierry Amar, two musicians also involved with Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
The band made their live debut on March 6, 1999 at Musique Fragile, a performance venue organized by the record label Constellation. They released their debut album, He Has Left Us Alone but Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corner of Our Rooms..., a little over a year later on March 27, 2000.
Save two minor exceptions, Godspeed You! Black Emperor features no vocals; instead, they use audio samples produced by Sophie Trudeau. Similarly themed samples also appear on Silver Mt. Zion's debut album, wherein Menuck sings on two tracks - "Movie (Never Made)" and "Blown-out Joy from Heaven's Mercied Hole". Menuck confessed that he was uncomfortable with this at first, feeling "foolish" and uncomfortable with the role of the singer in music generally. At the time at least, he did not want to be the focus of the band's music but rather wished to use vocals as a stylistic tool.
Before the release of their second album, the band recruited three more musicians, expanding the group to a sextet. The new members were cellist Beckie Foon, guitarist Ian Ilavsky, and violinist Jessica Moss. The name of the band was changed to reflect the larger membership; according to the liner notes of the second album Born into Trouble as the Sparks Fly Upward, they were officially called The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band.
The music was also growing and becoming more varied. While some tracks on Born into Trouble reflect the building but repetitive and instrumental nature of their first album and even Godspeed You! Black Emperor, some tracks here are more song-like in structure and the vocals definitely have a stronger presence. On "Take These Hands and Throw Them in the River" for example, the vocal parts complete with a building wall of noise dynamic and while "Could've Moved Mountains" features double-tracked vocals that the listener has to strain to hear, the effect is to make the lyrics a focal point of the song.
In retrospect, this period seems to mark a transition from Silver Mt. Zion as experiment and spin-off from Godspeed You! Black Emperor to a band with its own recognisable sound. Their first extensive tour took place in early 2001 throughout Europe.
The next Silver Mt. Zion album saw no change in the core line-up but the name of the band was slightly expanded again to accommodate the change in sound and the number of people involved in its creation. Now called The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band with Choir, "This Is Our Punk-Rock," Thee Rusted Satellites Gather + Sing, was released in 2003, featured four tracks each lasting over ten minutes in length and had a strong vocal presence as well as bigger emphasis on drums in two of the tracks. In fact, the liner notes suggest that the 'rusted satellites' of the album title refer to the choir pulled together to sing on the album. Thee Rusted Satellite Choir features twenty-four names, though four of these might be members of Silver Mt. Zion (only Efrim and Sophie's names are missing from the list).
After a break due to Godspeed You! Black Emperor activities, the band set out on its second tour in 2004. Starting with a brief Canadian tour at end of January, they then headed out for another long string of European dates from mid-February through the end of March. They headed across the Atlantic again in December for a tour of the UK, following their performance at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival.
The line-up was officially expanded again with the arrival of Scott Levine Gilmore, mandolinist and guitarist. The choir dropped, the band now simply added an extra 'e' to the first word of their full title becoming Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band for the release of their fourth full-length record. Horses in the Sky (2005) has six tracks, none of which are instrumental.
The band had their first performance in the United States (in Brooklyn, New York City) on August 13 of the same year; the culmination of a short tour of eastern Canada. Plans for a longer tour were cut short after Sophie Trudeau, one of two violinists for the band, broke her collarbone. In that time, Gilmore left the band and was replaced by former Hangedup drummer Eric Craven.
In 2006, the band headed to Europe at the end of April and they played shows up until the start of June. A tour of Canada and the United States (Silver Mt. Zion's first) began in late July and continued until the end of August. The tour debuted two new songs, "BlindBlindBlind" and "1,000,000 Died to Make This Sound". In a follow-up 2007 tour of Europe, they premiered another two new songs, "Engine Broke" and "13 Blues for Thirteen Moons". The latter of which became the title of their next album, which was released in March 2008 and contains all four tracks. The album also contains 12 short tracks of drone and feedback which feed into each other to create a fifth piece on the album, acting as a prologue to the album-proper, which, appropriate to its name begins on track 13.
Silver Mt. Zion then toured first Europe and then North America. This tour saw the premiere of two new songs, "I Built Myself a Metal Bird, I Fed My Metal Bird the Wings of Other Metal Birds" and "There's a Light". In the summer of 2008, the band's lineup changed again as Eric Craven, Rebecca Foon and Ian Ilavsky resigned. Since then David Payant has joined to fill the role as drummer and with the lineup change, the band officially renamed themselves Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra. In September 2008, Silver Mt. Zion played at the New York ATP Festival which was headlined by My Bloody Valentine.
The members of Thee Silver Mt. Zion contributed to two works by Vic Chesnutt: the 2007 album North Star Deserter and the 2009 album At the Cut. Both were released by Constellation Records. In the spring of 2009, the band began working on recording material and have since constructed their latest album, Kollaps Tradixionales, which was released in February 2010. The tracks "There is a Light", "I Built Myself a Metal Bird", and "I Fed My Metal Bird the Wings of Other Metal Birds" from the new album were played live in the band's previous tour. The band began a tour of the UK and Europe in March 2010, beginning with an extremely well reviewed sell-out show in Bristol. The band performed at the ATP I'll Be Your Mirror festival curated by ATP & Portishead in October 2011 in Asbury Park, New Jersey. The setlist included a new composition entitled "What We Loved was Not Enough".
A new album from the band was released on January 21 2014. In an interview with Vish Khanna on his Kreative Kontrol podcast, Menuck reported plans to release a Record Store Day 12" and an EP later in the year, both of which the band had just finished recording.
The official press release produced by Pitch Perfect PR and available on the Constellation website states that the band's influences include "free jazz, community sight-singing, Minimalism and American folkways - still anchored to a punk-rock take on neo-classical and modern music tropes".
Menuck has cited Deerhoof as a positive influence on the band, saying "there's a way they unpeel a melody so it's the oddest sounding thing in the world that we're always excited whenever we can even hint at that". He has been critical of bands like U2 who he claims are guilty of "manipulative emotionalism" in their music, something that Silver Mt. Zion try to avoid.
Menuck has also referenced Minutemen, Minor Threat, and early Black Flag in interviews though it seems that these might be more ethical influences as opposed to aesthetic.
An unidentified member of the band has stated in interview that as well as classical and chamber music, Jewish and Eastern European folk music along with American folk influences 'such as Sacred Harp Singing' all play a part in contributing to the band's sound. The same interviewee namechecked Fairport Convention as another band working in several different areas of music in the same way. All members of the band are apparently fans of Led Zeppelin.
It's implied in many interviews that Efrim Menuck writes most of the words sung or spoken in the band's pieces, though guitarist Ian Ilavsky noted that Menuck "has really pushed and encouraged people to join in and write a certain number of the lyrics with group singing in mind"
There are strong political motifs in the band's music. The instrumental "13 Angels Standing Guard 'round the Side of Your Bed" is apparently directed toward black bloc anarchists, according to liner notes. The song "The Triumph of Our Tired Eyes" could be interpreted as lamenting the present state of the world while espousing strong hope for the future. It also references the old anarchist song, "To The Barricades", sung by anarchists during the Spanish Revolution. Horses in the Sky contains ostensibly political tracks, including "Ring Them Bells (Freedom Has Come and Gone)", and "God Bless Our Dead Marines". However, it is worth noting that when asked about the political elements of A Silver Mt. Zion's songs after a concert in Nottingham, England in December 2004, Efrim Menuck said that the band are not trying to be 'political' with their songs, but write songs about the sorts of things they talk about with their friends.
13 Blues for Thirteen Moons, released in March 2008, was the first album to contain lyric sheets in its insert. According to an interview with Menuck, he'd wanted to include lyric sheets with all the albums "mostly because there are a lot of people who don't speak English as a first language" and he would not want the songs to be misheard and misquoted. However, one of Constellation's managers has a "hardcore aversion to lyric sheets" and it was only with this latest album that Menuck confronted him about this.
The band's original name, A Silver Mt. Zion, would seem to refer to the Mount Zion in Jerusalem. However, Efrim later noted in an interview with David Garland, host of Spinning on Air from WNYC radio, that the name hailed from a misheard song lyric. Efrim himself is Jewish, and motifs relating to Judaism are occasionally present in the band's music (he described the band's recording of their first album as a "Jewish experience").
All of the band's names have revolved around the words "Silver Mt. Zion", except "Thee Silver Mountain Reveries" for the 2004 EP.
As with most Constellation releases, Silver Mt. Zion records come in recycled cardboard cases with detailed artwork, do not feature the band's name on the album cover (the band's name at any particular time can be found on the spine of each album) and no copyright details on the disc. 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons was the first album case to feature a photo of the band inside (along with the lyric sheets).
Birds tend to feature heavily in the artwork, often in detailed pictures. Album artwork has also included a sketch of a horse, a mountainscape from the back of a packet of cigarettes and a picture of Nina Simone (in relation to the song "God Bless Our Dead Marines").
Menuck is often identified as the band's frontman and leader, despite the fact that he has repeatedly stated that this is not the case. Though Menuck's voice and lyrics are often very prominent on the records, everyone in the band sings and this collective spirit is much more prominent in a live setting when every member of the band is singing in a different harmony. On stage, the band tend to stand in a semicircle, with most members facing each other as often as the audience.
The band's dynamic has gone through changes with additions and replacements in the line-up. Significant recent events such as Trudeau's breaking her collarbone in a motorbike accident prevented them from touring, have forced the band to approach playing together differently, leading to "more singing and more confidence". Scott Levine Gilmore's departure from the band has led to a "more live, louder, sound" due to replacement drummer Eric Craven (from fellow Constellation band, Hangedup) who was subsequently replaced by drummer David Payant.
Menuck, speaking for the band in interview, has said " believe in music as labour".
The song "13 Angels Standing Guard 'round the Side of Your Bed" from He Has Left Us Alone was included in a scene from Harmony Korine's film Mister Lonely and was also the soundtrack to Gaspar Noé's short film Eva (2005).
"Could've Moved Mountains" from Born into Trouble… plays over the ending credits of Demonlover.
The song "This Gentle Hearts Like Shot Bird's Fallen" was used during the climax of the David Gordon Green film Snow Angels
The introduction of the song "Tho You Are Gone I Still Often Walk w/ You" from Born into Trouble… was featured in the trailer for the fourth season of the television show Lost.
The Sound of Animals Fighting released a song titled "Horses in the Sky" on their album Lover, the Lord Has Left Us... as homage to the band, in particular the album Horses in the Sky.
The song "Broken Chords Can Sing a Little" was used in the 2010 American Repertory Theatre production of Cabaret starring Amanda Palmer.
The song "God Bless Our Dead Marines" was used in the 2010 film Daydream Nation.

Remember Jeffrey Sinclair, the renowned army general who was charged with an insanely long list of sex crimes — including forcible sodomy and wrongful sexual conduct — back in September? His hearing started today, and it's going as expected (by us, at least): prosecutors are painting a picture of a powerful man who systematically oppressed a shit-ton of women and expected them to keep it quiet.
At the hearing today, U.S. Army prosecutors finally divulged details (they had previously kept them secret, since Sinclair was SUCH an super important man and therefore, apparently, deserved more privacy than your typical alleged sexual assaulter) about the rare criminal case — there have been only two other court-martial cases against Army generals in recent years. They alleged that Sinclair committed sex crimes against five women, including four military subordinates and a civilian, during 2007-2012 and in countries including Iraq, Afghanistan and Germany, as well as Fort Bragg and Fort Hood in Texas. It's like Where In the World Is Carmen Sandiego, but with a high-ranking alleged rapist!
According to the AP, "In one case, prosecutors also said that Sinclair threatened one woman's career, as well as her life and the lives of her relatives, if she told anyone about his actions."
Sinclair's defense? His attorney "asked for the charges to be thrown out, arguing that prosecutors had read confidential emails between the general and his defense." Wow. If that's the best he can do, that kind of speaks for itself, doesn't it?

Jolie Gardener, personal chef by day, aspiring romance writer by night, likes to talk and does it a lot. She has to because if she stops, all the pain, disillusionment, and abandonment of her AWOL mother, question-mark father, and foster-care childhood will rise up like a chocolate soufflé on steroids, sweeping away the fragile infrastructure of her life.
But she's fine. Really. She is.
Or so she thinks.
Todd Best isn't fine. He knows it. And doesn't care.
After his wife died—the woman who believed in him when he was a struggling artist—he put painting aside, moved from their home, and lost himself in the minutiae of daily life.
Alone. Private. The way he likes it.
The last thing he needs is some chatty cook seeping into the perfectly bland canvas of his life.
Or so he thinks.
So when Jonathan, a guardian-angel-in-training, turns himself into a kitten to help these two lonely souls find a happily ever after together, it ought to be a piece of cake.
Or so he thinks…
There was just something about a man in an apron in the kitchen. Especially if the man was only in an apron in the kitchen, which, okay, he wasn't, but she had seen him in only the kitchen and nothing else and, boy, was that a sight to remember. So she tripped down sensory lane while he reached and stretched and bent as he measured out the ingredients. Who'd have thought baking was so much exercise?
"You know," Todd said when the mixer went silent, "this is fun."
He had no idea.
"Let's see if you're still saying that three hours from now." Jolie maneuvered the mixing bowl to the table and scooped batch number one into another bowl, ready to start again. The mouthwatering aroma of brown sugar and vanilla surrounded her and she couldn't resist a dip into the dough with a spoon.
"I saw that." Todd's mock self-righteousness was hysterical.
"Want some?" She grabbed another spoon and another spoonful, and offered it to him.
With him holding a measuring cup in one hand and a five pound bag of sugar in the other, she had no other option when he said, "Sure," than to hold the spoon to his mouth.
Really. No other option.
His lips closed around the spoon, just a hint of his tongue before it closed, and she could almost feel the heat travel up the stainless steel into her fingers.
There was a little tug as he sucked the dough off and she felt a little tug of her own. Right in her nether regions.
She slid the spoon out and he licked his upper lip. "You're good," he said and there went her mind right to a bed with a roaring fire at the foot of it, a bottle of champagne, maybe some rose petals, and, of course, whipped cream.
"I am?" She pulled her gaze from his mouth, now drawn to his eyes. Warm and intense—just like her.
He put the flour and measuring cup down in one fluid motion and took a step toward her, his gaze holding hers. Her heart started hammering as he reached out, and she stifled a moan as she waited for his embrace.
She closed her eyes as he neared. There was just too much rioting through her body as his chest brushed her arm. She waited for the feel of his lips on hers, completely willing to overlook what surely was complete insanity since they worked—and lived—together, yet it was his hair she felt brushing her shoulder.
Not exactly the image she had going.
She opened her eyes—
And wanted to die.
He had his finger in the batter bowl behind her, scooping out the remains of batch number one.
Thank God no one else was around to witness her humiliation. What was she thinking? As if someone like him would be interested in kissing someone like her; someone without a real name or family to call her own. Just because she came with no baggage whatsoever—no relatives, no nasty in-laws, no history, just her—didn't mean his "you're good" had anything to do with something other than cookies.
"Want some?" said Cookie Monster, now back in her line of sight and holding out a finger full of cookie dough.
She did want some. She really, really did. And she wanted it right off that finger he was waving in her face. Wanted it so badly she had to say no because if she gave in to the impulse of licking his finger, she'd rip apart at the seams.
"Ah, come on. It's good." Wag, wag went the tempting digit.
She was amazed at her inner strength, as he'd called it. Truly.
She shook her head again and stepped back. "If we do this for every batch we are going to be some sick puppies." She prayed the bravado hid the quaking of her knees. He didn't need to know his chef was reading all sorts of innuendos into his words.
Cookie dough. Imagine that.

The subprime mortgage crisis that has devastated homeowners and the economy has brought with it a troubling trend: pets abandoned after home foreclosures. Those who assess deserted homes are often directed to leave property—including pets—untouched until the foreclosure process is completed. As a result, many pets have been left to die.
The ASPCA would like to congratulate the California Legislature for addressing this issue with the swift passage of Assembly Bill 2949, which amends California's Civil Code to require property owners—including banks or other corporate entities—to immediately notify animal control officials when animals are abandoned at foreclosed properties.
AB 2949 was born out of California State Assemblyman Mark DeSaulnier's annual "There Ought to Be a Law" contest. Contest winner Sheri Kuticka recognized this tragic consequence of the housing market downturn, and suggested that something be done to help abandoned animals. She, along with the ASPCA and the California Animal Association, cosponsored the legislation, which was signed into law by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on August 4.
"While pets are mere 'property' in the eyes of the law, the difference between a cat and a stereo is self-evident," says Californian Jill Buckley, ASPCA Senior Director of Government Relations. "Before this law, a lot of well-meaning people's hands were tied when they found pets in empty homes. Of course, the most important thing is for folks not to abandon their pets in the first place—but at least now, these unlucky animals will have a chance to get the life-saving care they need."

The communication from their sales rep, Justin, to the project lead, Omar, to the owner, John, was exceptional.
