<script type="text/javascript" src="http://p3.3playmedia.com/javascripts/vendor/froogaloop2.min.js"></script></head>
<body>
<iframe id="moog" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/40689637?api=1&player_id=moog" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>
<script src="http://static.3playmedia.com/p/projects/10013/files/78983/embed.js?..." type="text/javascript"></script><noscript>
