NOTE: There were a few technology issues at the beginning of Buffy's presentation but the chat room continued to be active while these were resolved. Buffy graciously agreed to stay beyond the regular show time to continue so the full recording is about 1.5 hours. You may want to advance your player to about 20 minutes to hear some great tips from Gwyneth before Buffy resumes her presentation. Buffy's presentation begins again at 39 minutes into the recording.)
