My grandparents donated themselves for research. I would like to spend my afterdays at the Body Farm here in TN.

Yep, I've read about that, most recently in "Stiff" by Mary Roach.

I have plans to read the Body Farm novels by Jefferson Bass, which is actually the writing team of Jon Jefferson and Dr. Bill Bass. Dr. Bass created the UT Body Farm. Most of the novels are available for around $8 in eformat. I think only the most recent is priced higher than that.

Had life gone differently, I might have gone into law enforcement. To be able to contribute to forensic research after I kick off would be awesome.

The Videos are flash I think. I tried to get the link by hitting the quote button and copying the youtube reference and pasting it in the search field of the youtube app but the result was "no video"

Does anyone know how to capture the video reference from a video post some other way?

What happens if you hover your mouse over the YouTube icon in the bottom right - I get an option to 'watch on youtube' - once there you should be able to 'pick it up'.

He has an iPad which doesn't permit hovering. You either touch the screen there or you don't which is one reason Flash doesn't work on iPads.

I usually open Safari, go to YouTube.com and then search for what I think the clip is. It will only display those that aren't Flash. If you find it and are stll interested in the identifier, you'll see it in the URL.

I haven't been able to figure out how to find the identifier for clips if I use the iPad's YouTube application.

Use the "Share" icon. It'll create an email with the link (and identifier) in it.

You mean "Once you buy an iPad, you follow its rules", right?

The only problem I have is that sometimes - and this depends on the newsfeed, I think - I don't get a screenshot of the video at all, just a nice, white empty space (not even an icon).

It's slightly annoying. If I wasn't so lazy, I could go to my main computer and look the same website up and see the video in question.

I don't have an iPad. If I did I probably wouldn't use it.
