Here is a segment Time Warner Cable did on me (Laura Stinchfield) being a pet psychic.

I talk to a cat (Ike) that is going into surgery to remove cancerous tumors and a black lab (Zuma) who talks about something her pet sitter could do differently. Iris the goat is also featured.

Myself and several of my clients are interviewed on animal communication and whether we think it is a fad or if it will be a growing field. (Thank you Jaya, Jon, Jodi and Tina of Aloha Dog Grooming).

Via the Orange County Register
Pixie tangerines offer sweet treat

This is a fine little article about our Valley's treasured specialty citrus crop, with a journalistic oops.

Tony Thacker, his daughter Emily and his granddaughter Celeste Ayala showed off this year's bumper crop. Tony explained that the 2010 harvest will yield about 20 percent more than last year's, but the fruit will be smaller. Most will be between 1 3/4- and 2 inches in diameter, with few fitting into the jumbo or colossal categories. The trees have a habit of bearing a large crop one year and a small crop the following year.

KINDNESS: Do something kind for someone for no reason other than to be kind. Bring beauty to a place where it may be needed without letting anyone know that you were the one who did it. Write about how it felt and then share this story with someone.

Another deadline looms. Another opportunity to pass health care reform. Another chance to blow it. But after reading Saturday’s front page of the world’s greatest newspaper, the Ventura Star, maybe blowing it is in our best interests.

Dark Side of Health Reform the banner screamed out at me. Expecting to read something nefarious, like death panels, I plunged into the article by Tom Kisken. It was indeed dark. Dark and dastardly. A “Tan Tax” for those who, like Congressman Boehner, can’t get enough UV rays from the sun and who seek out their fair share of melanomas from the hundred thousand or so tanning booths hiding within the dark recesses of our mini-malls and the back alleys of America.
