What is Proposition 65?
California Proposition 65, also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is a law that imposes requirements for goods made, distributed or sold in the State of California. Prop 65 requires businesses to notify Californians via warning labels about significant amounts of chemicals– specified in a list of more than 700, such as lead and cadmium–contained in a company's products. More importantly, many of the compounds identified on the Prop 65 list are permissible under federal regulations.
If you are concerned about whether an item is Prop 65 compliant, please contact your Promotional Consultant. Our experts can tell you whether the item meets Prop 65 requirements as well as provide documentation should it be required.
What is BPA?
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a key component used to make polycarbonate plastic - a high-performance, strong, durable and lightweight material found in many products - and epoxy resins, which are used to make protective coatings in metal food containers to help protect the integrity and safety of food.
In 2008, BPA came under public scrutiny when numerous government investigations called it unsafe for use in consumer products. These investigations stated BPA exposure linked to such conditions as hyperactivity, obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Though BPA is not banned in the United States, Geiger has proactively chosen to select bottles that do not contain bisphenol A.
What is the Consumer Product Safety Improvement ACT (CPSIA)?
The CPSIA – the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act – is a law that was enacted in August 2008. The stated purpose of this bill is to "establish consumer product safety standards and other safety requirements for children's products and to reauthorize and modernize the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The CPSIA defines a children's product as designed and intended primarily for a child age 12 years and under. Children's products can also be considered any products with packaging, promotions, or advertising that displays their product as appropriate for children 12 and younger. This means that if a product designed for adults is being used by a child in an advertisement, it will then be regulated the same as a children's product.
The legislation requires that every manufacturer provide a "Children's Product Certificate" to certify, that the product complies with all safety regulations. These certificates must accompany the product through the distribution chain through the retailer. CPSIA is designed to require mandatory testing of any items that might be used by children. The testing and subsequent certification process is meant to assure children's products and the materials used to make those products are safe.
Geiger is committed to product safety because it's too important not to be. Geiger has a full-time Product Safety department committed to protecting you and your brand. We are in full compliance with the Consumer Product Safety Initiative (CPSIA). If you are concerned about whether an item is CPSIA compliant, please contact your Promotional Consultant. Our experts can tell you whether the item meets the requirements as well as provide documentation should you require one.
Can I cancel or change my order?
You may cancel at any time prior to production. Once items have been imprinted with your logo, we can no longer accept a cancellation. If you need to change your order for any reason, please contact your Promotional Consultant.
What are set-up charges?
A set-up is a fee charged to create the screen, die or other necessary items to imprint your logo. These are not art charges. Each item has different imprint areas and methods of imprint, therefore, has a unique setup charge.
Will I see a proof before my order goes into production?
Yes! Unless it is an exact reorder, you will see a proof. This proof must be approved by you before the order will go into production.
Do you charge sales tax?
All applicable state and local sales tax will be added to your invoice. If your organization is exempt, please supply your Promotional Consultant with your resale certificate.
Can I order in quantities smaller or larger than those shown?
While all products offer different minimums, less than minimum is available on a product by product basis. The absolute minimum varies by product. Large quantity orders may qualify for deeper discounts. Please contact your promotional consultant for more information about your order.

Wednesday, 13 April 2011atlas/blood flow/ccsvi? a must read as causes spasm and pain too
Common Symptoms often Corrected by Atlas Re-alignment
In order to have proper blood flow to the Brain the Atlas must be in the proper position. If the Atlas is subluxated/misaligned it will begin to create a disturbance to the blood vessels and nerves at the base of the skull. This disturbance will disrupt blood flow and cause headaches. By gently correcting the position of the atlas Dr. Kerr restores normal blood flow to the head.
Pinched nerve is a term used when a nerve becomes compressed or irritated on it's way out of the spine. 95% of pinched nerves can be corrected with the Atlas Orthogonal procedure. Correct position of the Atlas allows the nerves to flow freely to their destination.
Discs herniate because of increased pressure on them. Distortions in alignment can change pressure on the discs. Over time the discs herniate but as you correct the Atlas the compensatory misalignment and the abnormal pressure will be reduced. This will allow the discs to re-hydrate and restore their intended shape.
Pain is a signal from the body to the person that there is a problem. Where the pain is, is not always where the cause is. An example of this is that a person's Atlas can be subluxated/misaligned and that person may be feeling pain in the lower back, arm etc. The correction for the problem at the bottom of the spine is at the top of the spine.
Muscle spasms, though they cause pain, are a natural response of the body to protect itself. As you come into alignment the brain will send impulses to the muscle via nerves that the contracture/spasm is no longer needed. Normal muscular balance will be restored as the Atlas remains in balance.

Yesterday, we all had a good laugh at the Columbus Dispatch's photo of the pivotal play from Monday night's Red Wings-Blue Jackets game. Something something Damien Brunner scored a shootout goal something something we think the Red Wings won something something ... oh, look: That fan in the front row to the right dressed as a referee was mimicking a blowjob motion.
On its website, the Dispatch eventually replaced the photo with another one. But we must admit we missed the real story here. We had failed to notice the banner headline splashed above the photo across the section front of the paper's print edition. We initially thought Dispatch staff photographer Eamon Queeney completely captured the moment with the click of his camera. But we salute the paper's copy desk for finding just the right words to do such an evocative image justice, and we're sorry for not having properly recognized such thorough coverage sooner.

BAKER � None of Baker School�s current volleyball players were born in 1992, the last time the Gators failed to make playoffs. This year's senior class was in the first grade the last time Baker failed to win the district title.
BAKER � None of Baker School�s current volleyball players were born in 1992, the last time the Gators failed to make playoffs.
This year's senior class was in the first grade the last time Baker failed to win the district title.
And the seniors were freshmen three years ago, the last time Baker didn't make it to state semifinals.
The expectations at Baker haven't changed as the team vies for an 11th consecutive district crown and a 21st straight playoff appearance.
The Gators are well aware of the streaks, and none of the players wants to be on the team that sees them come to an end.
"It's a lot of pressure," senior Savannah Risen said. "The seniors don't want to be the ones that break the ongoing tradition. The thought of that is not a good feeling."
Baker coach Tomikko Parks downplays the notion of pressure associated with the streaks.
"I don't know if it's pressure so much as they want to do it." Parks said. "The girls expect themselves to do it. They come into the season and they don't take it for granted.
"They know they have to work hard."
Parks likes her team of veteran players.
"Our experience level is good," she said. "We've got some girls that will be in different spots, but we've got five seniors coming back.
"They have worked their tails off this summer, and we feel really good about them coming up for conditioning every day. They have done a really good job of taking care of business and getting in shape as they prepare for the season."
The seniors are Risen, Alex Roy, Jordan Linzy, Miranda Whatmough and Hannah Wadsworth.
Whatmough and Linzy will move to the front row and see playing time at outside hitter along with Wadsworth and Risen. Roy returns as the starting libero.
Parks isn't sure what the team's strengths might be, but that isn't a bad thing.
"I don't know if we have really found out what our strength is going to be," she said. "We are pretty consistent all the way around. Our passing and hitting has improved.
"Right now I'd say our experience level, and they are all hitting it well (are strengths). We have five seniors, and four of them have made that trip to state twice. They know what it feels like to get down there, and they will use that experience to help them this year."
Baker�s attempt to capture the 11th straight title will come in the new District 3-1A. The Gators are joined in the district by previous district opponents Jay and Northview along with Chipley, Freeport and Holmes County.
Baker beat Chipley in region finals last year to earn a trip to the state tournament.
Parks is taking the new district in stride.
"Everybody we have in our district we have played in the past couple of years," she said. "Chipley has been a regional opponent and now they are going to be a district opponent, and with Freeport it's the same thing. We are familiar with them and we are familiar with their coaching.
"It's a new season and teams come back and they improve. It's been a long year since the beginning of last volleyball season. You just have to be able to adjust the different types of teams you will play."

What would happen if we simply did nothing, can you imagine what our world would be like?
There is no denying that Climate Change has become a buzz-word in the public conscience in the last 25 years. It has been said of Climate Change: "We're in a giant car heading towards a brick wall and everyones arguing over where they're going to sit." - David Suzuki
There is much scientific debate about the impact of Climate Change and the majority of scientists world wide agree that Climate Changes is real and that we need to do something about it. Here are some question for you:
Why not head over to the Climate Change section of the Museum 2 You website and take a look at the 'News From The Future' section and find out what might happen if we do nothing at all....
Let me know what you think.

NEW ORLEANS — The music is blaring inside James Franco's house and there's booze — and drugs — everywhere. Actor Michael Cera is snorting lines of cocaine, while comedian Aziz Ansari is trying (and failing) to hook up with Rihanna. Dozens of scantily dressed women mill about in Franco's architecturally sleek crib, which is decorated with artwork made by the actor himself.
If the whole bash wasn't unfolding on a soundstage in Louisiana, you might be fooled into thinking it was the real Hollywood Hills deal. But Franco's house and the party in it, like much of the new raunchy/bawdy R-rated comedy "This Is the End" — in which he and dozens of other celebrities play themselves — is a fictionalized version of the real thing. These stars wouldn't really behave this obnoxiously, or would they?
Depending on your perspective, "This Is the End," opening in theaters Wednesday, is the definitive example of an inside joke run amok or an inspired twist on the buddy comedy. The movie fuses two central conceits together: The first is six lead actors — Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson — play exaggerated versions of their real selves. The second is a half-dozen clueless narcissists try to survive the apocalypse.
Soon after the movie opens, violent earthquakes rock Franco's house. While the actor and his guests are too stoned or clueless to worry, it soon becomes clear that the temblors are a precursor to even greater calamity. Huge sinkholes swallow people alive, while blue beams of light suck others into the heavens. Franco's gathering, in other words, could be the party to end all parties: Judgment Day has arrived.
"This Is the End," which Sony Pictures is opening two days ahead of Warner Bros.' "Man of Steel," grew out of the 2007 short film "Jay and Seth Versus the Apocalypse," which starred Rogen and Baruchel.
Rogen and longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg ("Superbad," "Pineapple Express") wanted to turn the 81/2 -minute short into a feature for their directorial debut and spent years trying to figure out its third act.
"The apocalypse is like the ultimate end, so we had to think of an end within the end," Goldberg said. Added Rogen: "Basically we thought, 'Where does a movie like that go?'"
The answer has something to do with Satan, and his carnal affections for Hill.
Rogen and Goldberg wanted to preserve the short's key notion of actors cast as themselves.
"We always had the idea that we should have people playing themselves because society really likes it and wants it," said Rogen, not fully joking. "And then it became exciting because we started to realize that we were approaching this sort of fourth wall reality, a lot like 'Being John Malkovich.'"
Even if the Spike Jonze meta movie was a storytelling influence, "This Is the End" was really conceived as an antidote to the 2011 film "The Green Hornet," which Rogen starred in and co-wrote with Goldberg.
Produced for about $120 million, the movie was a commercial and critical washout. (" 'The Green Hornet' may not be the most tedious superhero movie ever — the competition is admittedly tough — but it is certainly in the running," The Times review said.)
The experience left the duo wanting the kind of creative freedom that comes with a less expensive film.
"It took three times as long as another movie would have taken, and was way less fun to make," Goldberg said of "Green Hornet." "All we talked about is, 'If we had half the money and it was rated R, it would have been so much more fun.'"
Added Rogen: "Mo' money, mo' problems. We wanted to be able to do whatever we wanted content-wise, we wanted to be able to push limits without having to worry about whether we would be able to turn a profit and that kind of stuff. A movie like 'Green Hornet,' we are contractually obligated to deliver a PG-13 movie. So it doesn't matter how funny the R-rated jokes are, you can't do it."
Even with a proposed price tag of $45 million, "This Is the End" initially received a frosty reception.
"We thought we'd come up with the golden ticket, that there was going to be a bidding war, that three of the studios were going to go crazy," Goldberg said. "But some of them never called us back." Sony expressed the only real interest, but only if the filmmakers were willing to slash the budget by a third.
"We said, '45.' Sony said, '30.' And we said, 'Whatever you say,'" Goldberg said.
To get as many celebrities as possible into the film, the production initially was going to shoot the party scene in Los Angeles. But even when the production relocated to New Orleans, about the only prominent name "This Is the End" lost was Cameron Diaz. Paul Rudd flew to Louisiana for one night of filming, and came home the next morning.
"We really did get everyone we wanted," producer James Weaver said.
To procure about 600 visual effects shots on the cheap — the budget for the apocalyptic effects was just over $3 million — the filmmakers turned to the upstart company Modus in Montreal, which like Rogen and Goldberg wanted to prove it could deliver the goods at a fraction of the usual rates.
The script may have read well enough on paper, and scenes played funny on the New Orleans set. But there was still the risk that audiences would find "This Is the End" desperately self-absorbed.
"Our first concern was: Is playing ourselves like a massive failure on all fronts?" Rogen said. "Which is like a horrifying thought that kept coming up over and over as we were making the movie. I've actually never been more nervous before a preview than for this one, because it could be complete concept rejection. And it would just be catastrophic for the movie. And we couldn't go around it."
It turned out not be catastrophic, as the film went over well with test audiences. Still, the box-office prospects are vague. Audience tracking surveys suggest the movie could gross as little as $15 million and as much as $32 million in its first five days of release. Early reviews have been largely favorable, some even glowing.
Even though "This Is the End" has yet to open, Goldberg and Rogen have several similarly budgeted movies in production and development with their producing partner Weaver and their company Point Grey Pictures.
"Townies," which recently wrapped filming in Los Angeles, is a Universal Pictures frat house comedy starring Rogen opposite Zac Efron and Rose Byrne. Rogen and Franco will next star in Sony's "The Interview," which Rogen and Goldberg will direct, a comedy about two journalists caught up in a North Korean assassination plot. They are hopeful that their long-in-the-works "Sausage Party," an R-rated animated comedy about the secret lives of food, could soon start production as well.
"I feel like we've really hit our stride. I feel like we've been smart about the movies we're doing," Rogen said. "I think we made a lot of mistakes in the past, honestly, that have taught us not to do those things anymore. We've made movies for budgets that we shouldn't have been making them for and for ratings we shouldn't have been making them with."
Goldberg said Sony is encouraging them to take more risks, which ultimately means more extreme humor.
"They said, 'You guys have to keep pushing it. We don't know how you're going to do it, but keep pushing it,'" Goldberg said. "Every movie has something they're terrified by. And I think they're beginning to realize that they like that."

The 2015 MFLS Champions' League site has been updated with Groups and schedules.
I checked every team in the tournament to see if anyone had Adrian Heath as coach due to his dismissal last weekend, and nobody had him. I'm unable to make further changes if Mark makes any corrections later this week, so this is locked.
I'm too busy to write a preview, and I'm giving up sleep to get this done. Look at the site to see where you are and who you play.
Things that jump out at me on casual inspection:
Group A is a reunion of teams who were in USA vs World at one point - plus Nguyenning.
Group G looks to be the Group of Death, but it depends on whether Aviators channels his form of a decade ago.
For the first time since I've been running this tournament, every team made the tournament on merit. There aren't any teams that would not qualify from any of the divisions.

Thanks for running it, Kerry.
Strong argument to be made that this is the strongest CL field in history. It's stacked!
Best I've done in the CL is the QF's, so I'm hoping to improve on that and get a final four appearance. Though this year it'll be tough for everyone just to get out of their group.

The site has been updated.
Group A:
Mohawks defeats The Laws of Lalas. Both advance.
Group B:
Phoenix TS claims first. Mattylip is runner-up.
Group C:
Top Sheld beats Low Expectations. Both advance.
Group D:
FC Byrd Turgler is undefeated to claim first, as Dynamo Salem is best of the also-rans.
Group E:
SDFC Macross loses, but had already clinched, as Real New Britski claims second.
Group F:
Arrows SC claims first. Weirder Bremen is second.
Group G:
Aviators defeats Avengers for first place, as the Avengers advance as the runner-up.
Group H:
cYber warriors defeats giggitty for first, as giggitty advances as the runner-up.
Next Round:
The top half has more variety in teams, but the bottom half is more difficult. Mohawks and Low Expectations are the favorites at the top, but intriguingly we could have four Brew City FA teams vying for the finals from the bottom as of next round if the favorites win this round.

Summer '09: What's on your can't-miss-list?
So today, Sunday, June 7, we revealed our annual recommendations for "the 10 plays not to miss this summer," and we're already regretting a few that had to be left off the list, like the Avenue's "Die, Mommie, Die!"
We'll tell you right now that the Colorado Shakespeare Festival's "To Kill a Mockingbird," starring Sam Gregory, above (… left!) made the cut. Surprise.
Check out the list right here,
then come back and tell us about more shows people should circle on their busy summer calendars this summer.

Through much of the 1980s, Sonic Youth had been slowly but steadily developing a reputation as one of the most original and exciting bands on the American underground scene.
In the summer of 1991, the band headed to Europe for a concert tour and discovered they weren't as underground as they imagined themselves to be; booked into a series of massive outdoor festivals, the band found themselves playing to some of the largest audiences of their career, and sharing stages with other American bands who were poised for an unexpected commercial breakthrough both in Europe and at home (most notably a little band from Seattle called Nirvana).
Musician and filmmaker Dave Markey tagged along for the ride, and Sonic Youth: 1991 - The Year Punk Broke is his document of one of America's most important alternative bands riding a wave that would break with the grunge revolution late the same year.
Along with Sonic Youth and Nirvana, Sonic Youth: 1991 - The Year Punk Broke also features performances by Babes in Toyland, Dinosaur Jr., and Gumball, as well as a brief flash of the Ramones playing a club gig.

Update: Eagletarian has confirmation from Joe Banner. It's official, folks.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen is reporting that the Eagles have signed Michael Vick to a two-year deal.
This has to qualify as the most shocking news involving the team, well, maybe ever?
Just last week, Andy Reid was asked about the possibility of signing Vick and here's what he said during a TV interview:
"I'm happy with my quarterback situation here," he said. "I do believe this kid deserves a second chance, and there's nobody better to have in your corner than Tony Dungy, man. He's a class, class act, and I know commissioner [Roger] Goodell has stood up on the table for the kid, so I'm sure there were some things that happened there that built that trust in him. He's got great people in his corner, and I'm pulling for him."
Earlier in camp Reid was asked about Vick and said he believes in second chances at this point in his life.
Donovan McNabb had also been asked about Vick and said he believed he should get a chance to play in the NFL without receiving any further punishment from the league.
How do you feel about the signing?
More soon.

Neil Williams, Group Chief Economist at Hermes Investment Management, reacts to today's ECB rate decision:
By 'pushing out the boat on QE2' a little further, cutting rates again, and setting up from June new longer-term refinancing operations for banks, the ECB probably offered as much as it could today from its emptying policy 'tool-box'.
Euro-zone GDP may be back to its pre-crisis level, but with headline inflation still a world away from its 2% target, the damp squib of December's QE extension, and the euro's ascent since, Mr Draghi was always going to act today - on his first anniversary of QE.
Mr Draghi 'pushes out the boat on QE2' a little further
Firstly, by upping the pace of QE, to €80bn from €60bn purchases per month, and including more corporate bonds, he is turning the liquidity tap a little harder.
And secondly, to get 'bang for his buck', he rightly shaved interest rates again, including taking the key deposit rate further into negative territory. But, the only 10bp cut to -0.4% is puny. Aimed at discouraging cash hoarding, even more negative rates may follow if the liquidity QE throws up is to be pushed out to where it matters most – consumers and businesses.
Also, a big problem with QE is it provides cash to lend, but cannot force consumers and firms to borrow. As the ECB's own bank lending survey reveals, credit supply at a five-year high is not being matched by loan demand, which continues to cool.
The effectiveness of negative rates will thus be in keeping bond yields down – given the ECB's pledge to buy government debt down to a yield that's as low as the, now -0.4%, negative deposit rate. With some two-thirds of euro-zone private borrowing – consumer and corporate – being long-yield, rather than short-rate driven, further rate cuts seems a more hopeful, albeit indirect, route to growth.
Either way, while helpful in addressing the symptom, deflation, Mr Draghi cannot alone solve the underlying problem – a monetary union devoid of economic union. This will take years. And, meanwhile, the euro remains a currency in search of a government.
How grizzly is this bear market?

There are lots of options when it comes to watching video on your Android phone. Nearly every manufacturer has some sort of offering unique to its take on how TV and films should be on Android to try to persuade you in its direction. On top of that there are all sorts of subscription services and one-off payment offerings across the whole of Android as apps that anyone can download from Google Play.
So, which is the way to go? How should you be watching video on your shiny new Android phone. Those with the likes of the HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4, or the Sony Xperia Z will no doubt be dying to take their new screens for a spin. So, sit back, relax and give these video apps a whirl for the very best in Android video.
Google Play Movies
The Big G itself even has its own video-on-demand store on Android as part of Google Play. Hit the movie tab, or install the Play Movies app, and you get a storefront laid out identically to the app element of Play, except this time with movies.
There's a lot to choose from in terms of newly released titles as well as a decent selection of older stuff. The app shows you the Top-selling videos at the moment as well as new releases, so you can see what's hot and what's to be watched.
Movies are priced from £2.49 for SD films and £4.49 for HD films to rent. To buy costs start from £7.99.
The draw of Google Play is its cross-platform connectivity. Unlike some Android offerings that limit the rentals to the manufacturer's skin, Google Play will let you watch the same video across any Android tablet, smartphone or PC.
It doesn't offer TV shows however.
QUICK VERDICT Google Play Movies will have most of the videos you want to watch and they are priced reasonably too. Add that to the added bonus of it not being device restricted and it's a great option.
Unlike the other video services on offer, Netflix is all about a one-off subscription and then unlimited content thereafter. For £5.99 a month you get access to a significantly decent on-demand video library, which, while nothing that rivals what our American friends get, is still worth it, especially if you like watching American TV shows.
The real draw of Netflix is the quality of its application. The app runs on just about every single piece of technology under the sun, including Android. It's also very stable and manages to squeeze some sort of video streaming out of even the weakest connection. The UI is decent enough and it will remember the sort of movies you watch and transfer that info over to other Netflix apps using your account.
The important thing is that you can watch something on your smartphone and then pick it up in HD later on your Xbox or smart TV, all for the same £5.99.
QUICK VERDICT If you are a TV shows kind of person this is £6 well spent. If you are an Arrested Development or Kevin Spacey fan (House of Cards) this is a must. We especially like that you can watch it on more than just your Android smartphone - like your TV, console, and iPad.
LINK Netflix
Sky Go
Sky Go is the free app that comes with certain Sky packages and allows you to watch Sky on your Android smartphone or tablet. And it's just about as good as it gets when it comes to watching video on a smartphone.
The app is broken down into two sections: what's on right now, and what's available on-demand to be streamed when you fancy it.
The Sky Go service offers more than 49 live channels including Sky Sports, Sky Movies and plenty of on-demand content.
The downside is that the app isn't available on all devices because of the vast differences between Android handsets and tablets, but most are covered:
HTC: HTC Desire, HTC Desire S, HTC Desire HD, HTC Incredible S, HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation XE Desire X, One X, One XL, One S and One V
Samsung: Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy Note, Galaxy S3 LTE, Galaxy S3 Mini, Galaxy Ace 2, and Galaxy Note 2
Google: Nexus 4 and Nexus 7
Sony: Sony Xperia S, Sony Xperia T
QUICK VERDICT If you've got Sky and you've got a compatible phone, this is a must.
LINK Sky Go
ITV Player
Not a BBC fan? Go for something ITV-flavoured then with ITV player. Like iPlayer this offers you seven days of catch-up after a show has aired. You get everything downloadable free, although there is one big difference: adverts and lots of them.
The other problem with ITV Player is that, just like the desktop client, it's really not the best quality streaming. Every ITV channel is there to play with, but expect plenty of evidence that they are streamed on a smartphone. Another slight irritation is asking for your email address when signing up, as it is used to send you ITV-related mail.
QUICK VERDICT If you really need to watch Downton Abbey, this is the way to do it on the go.
LINK ITV Player
BBC iPlayer
Ahh, iPlayer. How we love it so. An app that has been around for a long while now and shines with all the polish of a sergeant major's boots. Helped along by our TV licence fee, Android fans now get access to plenty of high-quality BBC content on their smartphones.
Not everything in the BBC back catalogue is there and you usually get only seven days to watch something, but this is definitely a useful app should you want to be catching up on telly missed while you're out and about over 3G.
Streaming quality is good, as is the user interface, which is simple yet gives enough depth to let you explore content properly. Shame there just isn't more stuff to get stuck into with iPlayer, but still for a free service, this is great stuff.
QUICK VERDICT If you watch television in the UK, this is a must.
LINK BBC iPlayer
BlinkBox from Tesco
BlinkBox from Tesco isn't available for Android smartphones, but is available for a host of other devices like the Xbox 360, PS3, Mac and some SmartTVs from Toshiba, Samsung, LG, and Philips.
The premise is similar to Google Play. You can buy or rent movies and the selection is what you would expect with most of the latest bases covered. The benefit here over Google play is that it is supported on many more devices than just Android.
Rentals at 99p and other special offers try to convince you to watch more stuff.
QUICK VERDICT The big catch here is that it's only available on Android tablets rather than Android smartphones. Shame.
LINK BlinkBox
Samsung Video Hub
The Samsung Video Hub is a video-on-demand service by Samsung for Samsung Android owners. It offers a range of blockbusters and TV shows, considerably later than everyone else it seems, and the choice is okay, but nothing outstanding.
Finding a movie or TV show is easy, and the interface is fluid enough that you shouldn't have any problems. When it comes to watching, you can break out the video to an overlay screen so you can do something else at the same time.
Rentals start at £3.49 for a movie or you can buy movies in SD resolution from £7.99 up to £12.49. TV shows cost £1.89 an episode.
The My Videos tab, like all the other Android video apps, lets you watch things you have either rented or downloaded on other devices with Samsung Video Hub installed, which is nice enough.
QUICK VERDICT The Samsung Video Hub is an included feature and Samsung's attempt to offer something, but in reality you'll be better off going with other apps that have a bigger catalogue to choose from.
Sony Video Unlimited
If you've got a Sony mobile or tablet such as the Sony Xperia Z then you can access the Video Unlimited store which, like the Samsung offering, provides pretty much the same as above but via Sony instead.
The interface is easy to use, and the prices very similar to Google Play and others.
A new blockbuster will cost you £11.99 to buy and £3.49 to rent. Like other services, rentals last 48 hours.
QUICK VERDICT The app is free, works just as good as the other offerings here, and if you've bought a Sony phone it will be pre-installed. It will also work with your other Sony devices.
LINK Sony Video Unlimited
HTC Watch
HTC's Watch is a bit like iTunes but for Android. It allows you rent or purchase movies and TV shows, store them on your phone and then watch them later. If, for some reason, you own more than one HTC Watch-toting device then you can also view the same downloaded videos on that. In fact, one video download equates to five Watch-enabled devices in total. Don't forget though, these videos are playable on HTC phones only.
So what do you get? In essence a fully featured video rental store, but with a few drawbacks, namely some titles are only available to rent, others only to buy - likely out of current rights restrictions. Starting out on the HTC Sensation, then the Flyer and now on the One line of smartphones, it's a way for HTC owners to quickly access video content.
The actual app is well enough laid out with a clear user interface that makes browsing easy. Movies get plot synopses and more information on directors and other titles and the like. The real clincher for HTC Watch is that, using HTC Media Link HD, you can stream DRM-protected movies from your phone to your television. The other clever function of HTC Watch is its ability to buffer video the moment you purchase it, meaning you can stream titles straight away without having to wait for them to download.
In terms of content selection there is a decent enough choice. HTC in its Watch FAQ claims it has more than 1000 titles to choose from, although we get the feeling this was written a while ago and the service has grown since then. In terms of studio deals, expect any major releases to be appearing on Watch, although admittedly it seems very varied from country to country.
QUICK VERDICT: Simple and easy to use, it doesn't have as much content as you may want, but it has most of the usual bases covered.
