My new kitty is the latest talking point.  Sharing the practice of playing gently with the kitty to teach the kitty gentleness.  This idea weaves in perfectly with the Autonomic Nervous Sytem Talk, the Taosit Cycle of Creativity and other points that we have been playing with lately.

Class was super gentle.

Troubleshooting Video Playback Mischief

  • Download the latest version of Firefox and restart your computer.
  • Download the latest Flash Player.
  • A slow connection will affect video playback. Allowing the video to "load" before viewing can help smooth this out. Here are the steps:
    - Press "Play" and allow the video to roll for a few moments.
    - Then, press "Pause" and allow the video to "load" before hitting "Play" again.
    - You will know the video is "loading" as the bar to the right of the play button darkens gray.
    - This will also give you the option to scroll forward and back more easily.
  • Report Problem to the Help Duck.
