Can you guys see this? http://ondemand.tv3.co.nz/A-Mother-of-a-Problem-and-Heading-for-Trouble/tabid/59/articleID/1024/Default.aspx?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+60MinutesVideo+%2860+Minutes+Video%29

It is actually a tv documentary shown here two nights ago about a personal friend of mine and the release of her new book. (Yay!) The video starts with a note about how it is for NZ viewers, so i don't know if you foreigners can see it.

If you can - great. I'd like to discuss it. If you can't - well, bugger!

cheers

LOL - Literally! It wasn't an order, it was an expression of frustration.

I take it that you can't see it then. That's a shame. Celia's last book, 'He'll be OK, Growing Gorgeous Boys into Good Men', topped the NZ best-seller lists for months. This one will most likely do the same and is an explosive look at how our servants, the government beauraucrats (however u spell it!) in the Child Welfare services are ripping families apart, making criminals of our children and filling the prisons.

I assume that these unhelpful little people are the same everywhere?

I can do very little, (read - nothing!) about people on the other side of the world. All i can do is to reach out a hand and love those around me - currently a quiet and gentle, probably gay, 13 year old boy recently rescued from his abusive step-father, and a 25 year father of 5, and soon to be 6, boys who is now questioning his sexuality. These are the people i really can care for.

Anyway, if you ever see the book - read it! The title is in the link.

cheers

If this is a subject near and dear to your heart, and you really, really, would like us to share your experience, kindly locate and install the ANT Vidéo Downloader "Plugin" for either Firefox or Internet Explorer which you'll find available from here: http://www.ant.com/video-downloader/

Then capture the feed for us and host it at one of the many ubiquitos web file-servers. I personally use sendspace.com because it's servers are located in Canada, and therefore I'm able to comply with Canadian Public Domain Law as it respects File-sharing and Fair Use under our Law; but for these purposes, mediafire.com (first choice) and rapidshare.com (second choice) would likely be suitable.

You could then send us the link through e-Mail upon request, and enable us to download and view the vidéo so that we might then comment.

Thanks, Kiwi. I can't see the video but I read some reviews and I've ordered the book.
Love,

... and cross-platform for all Mozilla Foundation products would be, and is, the Video Download Helper which may be obtained here:

http://www.downloadhelper.net/install.php

This is a standard mozilla.org add-in "extension" that will work for both the stand-alone web-browser Firefox, and the recent releases of the internet suite of applications SeaMonkey; whereas the Ant Downloader will only work with Firefox.

I just discovered this today as I had been looking for a SeaMonkey solution for some time. An added benefit to this particular extension is that video being downloaded can be converted "on-the-fly" into your preferred file-format as it is being downloaded, for example *.flv to *.avi.

Hope this helps.
