Visa Gift Card (Card) Frequently Asked Questions and Terms & Conditions Important Notice Give this document to the recipient of the Visa Gift Card for any future questions or issues. Frequently Asked Questions What is a Card and how do I use it? The Card is a Visa Prepaid Gift Card that can be used to purchase merchandise and services anywhere Visa Debit Cards are accepted. It is not redeemable for cash, except as required by law. It cannot be used at ATMs, for gambling, or at merchants requiring a manual card imprint. Additional restrictions may apply. We also suggest that you write down the Card number and Customer Service number from the back of the Card on a separate piece of paper in case the Card is lost or stolen. The amount of every purchase you make will automatically be deducted from the value on the Card. You should select the "credit" option when making a purchase at any merchant with an electronic terminal. How can I check the balance in my card account? There are three ways you can keep track of your balance: visit www.giftcardmall.com/mygift, or call 1 (888) 524-1283 to make automated balance inquiries 24/7, or track your balance as you spend. Some retailers do not have access to the remaining balance in your card account. Do I need to register my Card for online, mail or telephone purchases? Yes, online, mail and telephone order merchants often require that personal information, including name, address, telephone number and email address of the cardholder be verified with the Card-issuing bank prior to purchase. If you wish to make online, mail or telephone order purchases, you should go to www.giftcardmall.com/mygift to register your Card. Unless you register your Card in advance, there may be no way an online, mail or telephone order merchant can confirm your identity. Without such confirmation, the merchant might decline your purchase even if there are sufficient funds in your card account. Do fees apply after my Card was purchased? No. There are no fees after purchase. Do the funds in my card account expire? No, the funds in your card account do not expire. Does my Card expire? Yes, subject to applicable law, your Card will no longer work when the remaining value in your card account is equal to $0 or the "valid thru" date printed on the front of your Card has passed. If funds still remain in your card account after the "valid thru" date, please call 1 (888) 524-1283 to have a replacement Card with an updated "valid thru" date issued and mailed to you at no cost. The balance in your card account will remain the same. Can money be added to my card account after the Card is purchased? No, the Card is disposable. Your card account cannot be reloaded. When all value is used, the Card should be destroyed. Do not give your Card to a merchant to destroy. What if my purchase is greater than the value available in my card account? You must advise the merchant how much is available in your card account. The merchant may complete a split tender transaction and charge your card account for the available balance. The remaining amount of your purchase would require another form of payment. Can I use my Card at restaurants or other service industries when I have enough money left in my card account to cover the bill for food or service? Some restaurants and other service-oriented merchants may factor in an additional 20% (or more) to cover any tip you may leave on the purchase. If this occurs, and your total bill, after adding in the additional 20% (or more), exceeds the amount available in your card account, the transaction will be declined. Accordingly, you may want to ensure that y

Setup was easy once both envelopes arived in the mail. Staples seems to be a second hand seller for this item. Purchasing from GCM and having GCM send the physical gift card to you via USPS. Staples then sends you another envelope in the mail, with a required activation code. You have to wait for both items to arrive.

Purchased five $100 gift cards for our interns. Had previously purchased gift cards directly through American Express and saw that Staples now offered them so I placed the order through Staples. These are not cards that are directly issued by Visa but rather a third party, called "giftcardmall.com". Upon receiving the cards in the mail, each came with a seperate activation letter, which the purchaser then needs to go online to activate the card. One of the cards had the incorrect activation letter which resulted in a 15 minute phone call to the vendor, only to find out that the card would not be activated until the following day. Not user friendly, buyer beware!!!

No worth the trouble
Comments about Visa® $100 Gift Card:
The way how Staples handles Visa gift cards is ridiculous. They sent me a gift card, then a separate letter with activation code. However, the letter with activation code has never arrived. I called Staples support line, none of the reps have any clues. They transferred me to gift card department, who then sent me back to the general support. After the rep talked to his boss, he gave me a number. I called the number several times, but no body answered the call. After much frustration, I finally figured out that I need to contact Giftcard Mall directly in order to sort things out.

Comments about Visa® $100 Gift Card:
You will have to pay fee, but I believe most cards charge comprable fees, so I don't think we are overchraged. You can use this card pretty much anywhere where VISA is accepted, including grocery stores, gas stations, etc. You can also check your balance online or by phone and where and how much you used at each place, so you can keep track if you want. For this card, you will receive two separate envelopes, one with the card, and one with an activation code. I think it is to make it more secure although I don't see the point as the envelopes came to the same address on the same day. Anyway, don't throw away the envelope which contains the activation code and don't forget to activate before using.

Staples Brand Copy Paper
Comments about Visa® $100 Gift Card:
I like the consistensy and quality of Staples brand copy paper. We rarley have any jams in our copier, fax machine or any of our assorted printers that we use in our small office. The paper is reasonably prices and a good product for the price. We have used the staples brand copy paper for over ten years and it has not failed us yet. We use about four cases of the staples brand copy paper per month, since we have seven printers, a copier and one fax machine. I would continue to purchase the staples brand copy paper.

On April 1, 1976, the original Apple Computer, also known retroactively as the Apple I was demonstrated for the first time in July 1976 at the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, California. The Apple I was a personal computer released by the Apple Computer Company designed and hand-built by Steve Wozniak. Actually it was Wozniak's friend Steve Jobs, who had the idea of selling the computer. Thus, the Apple I was Apple's first product, and to finance its creation, Jobs sold his only means of transportation, a VW Microbus and Wozniak sold his HP-65 calculator for $500.

I've used this leash with my pulling dog for almost 2 years. It's extremely comfortable, feels more secure than other leashes and seems to be well-constructed. I just bought another for my new dog.
Pros: Very comfortable; as durable as any other nylon leash
Cons: Not as durable as leather

The Vibe for Spring 2012:
This go-around, DKNY took over the NASDAQ building in Times Square. Fret not: The clothes were anything but floppy Wall Streeter get-ups. In front of scrolling stock tickers and megatron ads, young guns stood at attention in crisp, tailored suits that were often pinstriped and nearly always in shades of gray. Others were geared up for the storm that raged outside: Steve McQueen-channeling trenches, zip-collar anoraks, and rain-ready, white-soled boots. Last but not least, there were some dudes in Teva-like sandals. Yep, those could be making a comeback.

But 49ers coach doesn't offer timetable Brad Biggs
Jim Harbaugh didn't have a timetable to share with reporters but he said San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree is not expected to miss the entire 2013 season.
Crabtree underwent surgery Wednesday for a torn Achilles tendon and it might be wishful thinking on Harbaugh's part because the recovery could be six months or more. In late May, that means Crabtree might not be on the practice field until late November or December.
The bottom line now is the team isn't ruling Crabtree out and that is a good thing.
"His comment to that was, he's got no choice but to be back," Harbaugh said, according to the San Jose Mercury News. "Every day now is a healing day, and that starts today."
Harbaugh would not speculate on the possibility Randy Moss could make a return to the team. The 49ers could also consider free agent Brandon Lloyd, who already made one tour of duty with the club and has a way of wearing out his welcome. Or the 49ers have a cast of receivers that can step up, including A.J. Jenkins, the first-round draft pick in 2012 that was invisible throughout his rookie season.
We'll see how Crabtree is progressing when final cuts roll around at the end of the summer.

I normally build and keep for ~2ish years and then upgrade and see how long it lasts.currently running a Q6600, 8 gb 1066 ram, and one of the twin frozer's now. I have a 27" 2560x1440 monitor and another 24" 1900x1200 monitor but I only play using the 27".And yes, i will be using the computer for more than just gaming. Photoshop, CAD, etc.I live about 2 hours from a Microcenter, which is where I bought the GPU's, power supply and SSD. I don't plan to overclock initially, and if i do I will purchase a better cpu cooler.looking for some suggestions or improvement I can make on this build. Also, I prefer cases that have the ports on the front instead of the top but i haven't been able to find a case that fits XL-ATX motherboards that aren't ginormous and god awful looking.
I know I've said it before, but it bears repeating... you won't really be bottlenecking PCIe 3.0 x8 if you wanted to go with Ivy Bridge Z77 and an i5-3570K or i7-3770K.--Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
I understand the bottlenecking issue, i'm trying to "futureproof" a little bit by going with the 2011 socket and later on having the option of graphics cards that can actually use the pci-e 3.0 to it's fullest extent and being able to, hopefully, drop in another CPU later, since the 1155 socket will rendered obsolete (ish) with Haswell (on the 1150 socket) and the 4XXX series of CPU's (on the 2011 socket) come out. Am i correct that Intel will not be manufacturing chips for the 1155 socket once Haswell and the new Ivy Bridge chips actually drop?
That's correct. Haswell (1150) will replace Ivy Bridge (1155), and Ivy Bridge-E (2011) will replace Sandy Bridge E (2011).Ivy Bridge-E isn't dropping until Q3-2013, now. So going with 2011 and the 3820 is a good option, as it lets you upgrade the CPU later.»www.guru3d.com/news_story/8_core···013.html--Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
None of this matters if your Internet is still shit.
I have a hard time wrapping my head around spending $300 on a mobo. You can upgrade a lot of $85 mobos into the future for $300.If you have the money and don't care about how much it costs, go for it. I'm sure it's a kick ass board.
it's not necessarily the features, it's the socket i'm interested in. I want to be able to drop a new processor in it in two years or so. This is the price I pay for next-gen equipment. There are slightly cheaper boards out, but this is the best "bang" for my buck I could find.

I'm really looking at this board too, it has all of the features I have in my "required" list.the only cons I can find are only two dedicated x16 pci-e 3.0 slots, half as much maximum RAM, and a lower natively supported RAM speed, 1866 to 1600it is a smaller board so it will fit in more cases, especially the Fractal R4 I was originally wanting, I can't really see myself running any quad SLI/Crossfire setups ( which, even on the MSI board I would only be able to run in x16/x16/x16/x8 anyway) and I would be amazed if anyone ever actually needed 128GB of ram on a gaming/work computer.

text: So I took a semester off of college, then for some reason this semester I received the largest amount of financial aid I have ever dreamed of. I made as much as my mom makes in a year, in half the time. I don't ever feel as if I deserve it. My scholarships also sympathized for the reason I took off a semester and offered to extend my scholarship for a year, they let it slip out once that it was Chevron aka "Anonymous donor", I remember when I was up for an elite interview via Texas Exes(alumni association for UT). I didn't receive it, but during the process we all went to Gregory Gym I sat in the hot tub while staring at the tower. A guy turned to me and said "Is there any other place you'd want to be at right now". I was hoping that I found a way to fund my education. I have no idea what I did in this life or the next to deserve this but I'm glad I did.


text: 2 5.20.14 My mom's maternal grandfather, Zone Harrison Johnston (pictured at left of this construction site photo), was a lothario and a carpenter, and according to family lore, a self-described communist and avid reader of Marx. A few years ago I found this article in the Dallas Morning News archives reporting that Zone (as Z.H. Johston) and other members of the "Dallas Socialists Local" signed a petition for a recall election, citing the failure of the mayor and city commissioners of Dallas to "defend the people's rights with diligence and good faith." My favorite parts of the resolution: 2. Their persistent and flagrant refusal to comply or even to attempt, in good faith, to comply with the people's will as expressed in the initiative ordinances whose large affirmative majorities have never been questioned. 3. Their distrust of the people of the city of Dallas as manifested in their seeking to have the charter amended by a 'select committee' of their own selection, when they could have allowed the people themselves to take part directly in the work of charter amending. 4. Their notorious and undenied friendship and partiality for the Stone & Webster interests which control the electric light and the street car companies of Dallas.. I can't find my notes on the date it appeared, but I'm pretty sure it was 1909 or 1910. I'll have to dig around in the archives again. Also planning to read Patricia Hill's Dallas: The Making of a Modern City, which seems to discuss the city's history of socialism.

We pride ourselves on being a really friendly community rowing club located on one of the best stretches of the upper Thames with access to over 6km of beautiful water stretching from Caversham Bridge to Mapledurham lock.
We are a large club that encourages people of all ages and abilities into the sport of rowing. We have produced National and International medal winners from Junior through Senior and up to Master's level with Lauren Kedar representing GB at the Junior World Championships last August and Sally Pollock-Morris returning from the World Rowing Masters Regatta in Varese with eight medals in her suitcase. These successes were complemented with over 70 more wins at events both home and abroad during the 2012-13 season.
We are part of the British Rowing Explore programme so if aspiring to National or International success at rowing is not for you; we would still love to see you. We have invested in two brand new stable coxed 4's and the recreational side of the club is rapidly growing.
Our recently refurbished club house provides superb training and event facilities and is perfect for visiting clubs wishing to hold both winter and summer training camps. With disabled access and facilities we are also looking to expand our Adaptive rowing activities.
Explore our website to find out more about the club, or better than that; come along and see us.

Better than a plain collar!
posted 6 years ago
Ended up buying this for my parents shih-tzu, only because it wasn't big enough for my large lab. But it was adorable on the smaller dogs! Cuter than a regular plain collar, and he didn't even realize he was dressed up!
Pros: Cute, festive
Cons: Not big enough for my large lab

Tonight marked the farewell that no one wanted to get to but everyone found themselves glued to. It was emotional to say the least as tonight's episode of Glee tackled the death of Cory Monteith with pain, humor, violence and compassion which accurately reflected the feelings of those who held Monteith close in their hearts.
Usually you can see through the tears of actors when you know the context of the situation. for instance, it's sort of an eye-rolling annoyance when sitcom stars bawl their eyes out in the last episode when the characters are saying their goodbyes but we all know that it's the actors saying goodbye to one another.
But in the Cory Monteith farewell episode the tears were real but they were both on the screen and at home for fans watching. There was nothing pretentious about the farewell to Finn, because like those cheesy series finales, we knew the songs were for Cory and the tears were for a friend and loved one. The only difference is Glee had heart tonight that even non-fans of the show can acknowledge as legitimate.
Characters, like the actors in real life, dealt with the death of Finn in different ways. Some sang their feelings, others lashed out with violence and a few even buried their feelings deep down until they couldn't be held down any longer.
There was a potent line in the show that perfectly captured the moment and the mood of the episode. It's said that Finn is dead and all that is left is his voice in their heads. The truth in that transcended the mere atmosphere of a television show and cut right into real life; this wasn't an episode saying goodbye to an actor who left the show to do other things, it was about someone who is no longer alive and isn't coming back.
It was clear more than once that this was very apparent to the cast of the show, but that just goes to show how important Monteith was to the show. The admiration for him extended beyond just being the main character of a hit television show, the love felt for him was real, it was honest and the pain won't be healed anytime soon even if the process of doing so has already started.

Jet Aviation (Booth No. 3797) has added 20 aircraft to its management fleet and expanded capabilities and ramp space at its Houston and Dallas FBO facilities.
Eleven of the aircraft added to the Jet Aviation fleet since May are U.S.-based and the remainder in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Two of the aircraft, a Gulfstream G550 in West Palm Beach, Fla. and a Bombardier Global 5000 in Moscow, are available for charter. "Expanding the fleet helps ensure that our range of aircraft will meet the varying jet transportation needs of our customers," said Claudio Peer, Jet Aviatino's vice president of sales for aircraft management and charter in EMEA & Asia.
Jet Aviation also recently expanded its maintenance capabilities at its newly acquired FBO at Houston's Hobby Airport and expanded its ramp space at Dallas Love Field by 48,000 sq ft, bringing the total Dallas facility size to more than 250,000 sq ft. "With the acquisition of our newest FBO/MRO in Houston and the expansion of our Dallas operation to handle aircraft up to narrowbody jets, we are well-positioned in Texas to continue providing premier quality and service to our customers," said John Langevin, Jet Aviation's vice president of FBO operations, North America.

This paper describes a 2.5Gb/s CDR for asynchronous burst-mode data transmission, such as ATM-PON. A CDR employing gated-oscillators was designed and simulated using AlGaAs/GaAs HBT. The gated-oscillator consumes 1.12 W of power with a single - 7 V supply, and the differential output voltage swing is 0.9 Vp-p into 50...

It was the only one bad enough to return. Both the AM and FM sensitivity are horrible, the equivalent of a cheap radio. Who cares if the sound is nice and the radio looks nice if it only picks up a few strong stations? I am surprised by the other reviewers. I think the one who rate this radio high must be right inside a metro area and / or must not have anything better to which to compare. With HD you must have a super- sensitive tuner (and a good antenna). About a year ago I bought the Sangean from here, and to date that radio has the best performance. I would "guess" that the newer Sony model, the one with the IPod thing can't be any better. 8 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Not bad, butnot great either Written By Rod, San Diego, CA on Wednesday, July 16, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The reception is good when using the T antenna. The sound is not quite as good as the old Bose clock radios, specifically the low end. There is also no snooze feature so its use is better for a kitchen as opposed to a bedroom. However for the price it is a good deal. If you are not in a hurry for an HD radio, I'd wait to see what other models come out later on. 4 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

My first experience with HD radio. Bought it on the basis of the thorough specs you offered in your comparison feature, and viewing the users' manual on line. The unit was very easy to set up to receive the HD stations in our area. I consider the XDR-S3HD a very good buy for the money. I have not explored all the other features yet, such as alarm/snooze, etc; have been enjoying the HD stations too much! 8 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

On this date in college basketball history former LSU guard and one of the game's most electrifying players of all-time, Pate Maravich, set the NCAA mark when he made 30-31 free throws against the Oregon State Beavers.
On this date in 1969, Pete Maravich set an NCAA record by going 30-for-31 from the free throw line: pic.twitter.com/pgZXmReqTX
— NCAA (@NCAA) December 22, 2013
Pistol Pete was before his time. He played in the era without a three-point line–which didn't stop Pistol from jacking it up from downtown and before freshmen were eligible, but he put ridiculous numbers that will never be matched ever again.
Playing for his father Press, Pistol Pete set the record for points scored in a season when he posted a staggering 44.5 points per game during the 1969-70 season, highlighted by 69 points vs. Alabama. The three-time All-American also holds a 44.2 career average.
He finished his career with 3,667 points in only three seasons. It would take some all-time greats six or seven seasons to come close to that point total, but part of what made Maravich so great was his flair for the game.
"He was like a great singer," said broadcaster Chick Hearn, "with a style all his own, a pacing that was different, a flair for the unusual."
Despite all of his individual success, Maravich was labeled as a selfish player, and Pat Riley tabbed him as the most overrated superstar.
"Raw-talentwise, he's the greatest who ever played," said Lou Hudson, a Hawks teammate. "But always, no matter what he does, he will be a loser. That's his legacy. It never looked easy being Pete Maravich."
It never looked easy defending Pistol Pete either as he made opposing defenders look silly and after a Hall of Fame career. Sadly he passed away at the age of 40 in 1988. He doesn't get remembered along with the greats of his generation, but today let's remember the showman he was as one of college basketball's greatest scorers.

January 02, 2014
The Illinois Department of Transportation and the Illinois Tollway have announced the locations where Interstate speed limits will increase from 65 to 70 miles-per-hour for both trucks and four-wheelers, following a new law that took effect the first of 2014.
Legislation signed into law in August increased the maximum speed limit on Illinois Interstates from 65 to 70 mph, where deemed reasonable and safe, outside the Chicago metro area.
"Illinois Department of Transportation crews will begin to remove the old 65 mph signs and install the new 70 mph signs in the designated areas early January to comply with the new law," said Illinois Transportation Secretary Ann L. Schneider.
Once all of the new signs are in place approximately 87% of Interstate highways and 98% of rural Interstates under IDOT's jurisdiction will be increased to 70 mph.
Approximately 28% of the Illinois Tollway's 286-mile system will be increased to 70 mph.
New speed limit signs have been distributed throughout the state and will be installed through Jan. 17, weather permitting.
The higher speed limit is in effect only in areas where the new signs have been installed.
For the Illinois Tollway, new 70 mph signs will be installed between Jan. 7 and Jan. 14, weather permitting, on a 64-mile segment of the Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88) and on a 15-mile portion of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90).
The new law includes an additional safety provision, which lowers the limit by five mph at which drivers may be charged by law enforcement with excessive speeding. Currently, the threshold for penalties is 31 mph over the limit. The new law lowers that threshold to 26 mph over the limit.

Extension:Embed Media
Embed Media
Release status: unknown
|Allow inline use of other media.
|No license specified
|No link
Translate the Embed Media extension if it is available at translatewiki.net
|Check usage and version matrix; code metrics
This extension has been deprecated and is now being used in a Extension:MetavidWiki and metavid.org which has more video features such as timed text annotation, remote embedding, and semantic search. For basic embed ogg support see oggHandler
The Embed Media Extension consists of two major phases of implementation.
- An extension of wiki image to allow the inline use of other media. This extension to include media will focus on theora encoded video and vorbis encoded audio.
- The development of a more complex system for tracking segmented reference of longer audio/video streams.
Phase two will enable dynamic reference to segments from a wiki page. This will enable the highlighting of a piece of a longer video clip while providing a link back to the full original. This will be enabled through the usage of the mod_annodex extension. See the metavid site for examples of its usage. References to segments will be tracked and displayed on the media's info wiki page. Also we will explore the practicality of converting uploaded video clips to ogg theora from ffmpeg supported codecs.
- 1 Plugin Options
- 2 Implementation Stages
Plugin Options[edit | edit source]
The current ideal environment for various platforms is:
- If you're using Windows and Firefox I recommend that you install annodex.net.
- If you're using Windows and IE & have java, then the cortado player is used.
- If using Linux and Firefox I recommend installing mozilla-plugin-vlc (available via apt-get)
- If using Mac OSX and Firefox, for now use the java cortado player as problems have been reported for the OSX annodex-plugin. If you don't have the java-plugin installed for firefox you may try safari)
- If using Max OSX and Safari cortado player should kick in
The Future: Native Firefox ogg Support[edit | edit source]
Once the plugin is relatively stable we will petition mozilla foundation to integrate ogg theora video decoding into firefox. For the specs on the plugin see m:Firefox Ogg Support
Native support for Ogg Theora in Opera[edit | edit source]
Opera has released an experimental version that has native support for Ogg Theora. Opera supports an (early version of) the proposed video element.
Annodex/VLC Extension/plug-in[edit | edit source]
users must: install annodex: annodex.net
Description: The vlc based annodex extension is similar to what video.google used before they migrated to flash. The annodex player includes a xul CMML annotation interface for video meta data. The ogg theora decoder plugin used in annodex is custom compile of the vlc mozilla plugin but restricted to decoding ogg theora streams.
- Can load content from arbitrary servers. (this may make setting up mirrors slightly esier ie avoid iframes and javaapplet upgrades)
- Has good javascript hooks for building playback interfaces in css/html/ajax.
- has no interface must be built in css/html/ajax some js hooks have slight delay :(
- Internet Explore support is still a bit scetchy[1] But not very important for initial implementations.
Java applet include[edit | edit source]
Description: The cortado ogg theora decoder applet is used to play back ogg theora streams in a web browsers which support java applets.
- java loads in the browser (no need to install a separate extension)
- small footprint, the java applet is only 130k or so but that may be counteracted by less client side applet caching vs. a plug-in being installed.
- the applet and audio/video must reside on the same server.
- would have to be implemented as an iframe
- java paths are not url-rewrite friendly (still to fully research this)
- java applets are not widely used and would need to be downloaded each time the browser loads and there are incompatibilities with various platforms
Flash embed include[edit | edit source]
This is certainly the current web standard
Given the flash install base it may a good thing to support it among other formats.
QuickTime[edit | edit source]
Could be supported by codec extension to decode ogg theora video. would have to use javascript to detect quicktime ogg theora component info:
Windows Media Player[edit | edit source]
Could potential be supported via codec extensions as well.. would have to research the ability to detect codec extensions for windows media player.
Implementation Stages[edit | edit source]
First phase[edit | edit source]
The default media will not play or download when the page is loaded. Wiki users will have to hit "play" for the media to play in their browser. Displayed along side the controls will be a link to the media's info page which will include media license info and a link to download the clip disk.
Inline include[edit | edit source]
First test will be to alter the way the Media:foo_media.ogg is displayed.
upload processing[edit | edit source]
After a video clip is uploaded a thumbnail should be generated. This can be done a number of ways.
- ffmpeg-php is a easy bridge between php and ffmpeg libraries. In my use of ffmpeg-php it works well for grabbing images in sequence but the grabbing of an arbitrary frame takes a long time as the indexing was not functional but this may not be a universal bug. ffmpeg-php is still sort of bleeding edge and usually needs to be compiled to be installed. (which can be tricky with all the ffmpeg libraries)
- mplayer also uses the ffmpeg libraries but is easier to install. php could issue a shell command like:
mplayer -vo jpeg:z=6 -vf scale -zoom -xy 120 -ao null -ss '.$time.' -frames 2 \"'.$stream_file.'\" >/dev/null 2>&1
to grab a frame $time There are likely some disadvantages to issuing shell commands but the performaces is probably similar.
The mplayer approach is probably the way to go, but both methods could be supported.
Inline include Syntax[edit | edit source]
The syntax will be similar to inline images: Basic include:
Include with scaling + framing
[[Embed:my_theora.ogg|frame|right|320px| my theora clip]]
Second Phase[edit | edit source]
Still in development

Fresh off his first game after missing 14 games in a row due to injury, Kawhi Leonard looks to continue his stellar play tonight as the San Antonio Spurs host the Charlotte Bobcats.
Last night, Kawhi put up impressive numbers after missing such a long time, but it was Manu Ginobili who stole the show.
After a poor first half, Ginobili kicked it into second gear, not only scoring 16 points on the night, but also breaking his shoe in the process.
Tonight, the Spurs look to continue their good fortune as they host the Charlotte Bobcats.
The 'Cats are three games under .500 at 27-30, good enough for third in the Southeast division.
The Spurs, on the other hand, lead their Southwest division and look to win two games in a row tonight.
