Fox, Not ESPN, Expected To Be Awarded FIFA World Cup Rights For '18, '22
The FIFA World Cup will have two new U.S. TV partners in '18 and '22, with several sources saying that Fox and Telemundo will pick up the broadcast rights. Sources said Fox has agreed to pay $450-500M for the English-language rights to the next two events, scheduled for Russia and Qatar. NBC-owned Telemundo has agreed to pay around $600M for the Spanish-language rights, sources said. The bids represent huge increases over what ESPN and Univision paid for the '10 and '14 events. ESPN in '05 agreed to pay $100M; Univision agreed to pay $325M. FIFA has informed the bidders and has indicated that it wants to wait until Friday afternoon to make a formal announcement. Neither Fox nor Telemundo would comment on the World Cup bidding. The decision to award the rights to Fox and Telemundo is a shocking development, since incumbents ESPN and Univision were widely believed to be the front-runners to retain the World Cup rights. Bids initially were submitted in Zurich on Wednesday, with a second round of bids being submitted Thursday afternoon.
ESPN, UNIVISION OUTBID: In separate statements, ESPN and Univision said they were simply outbid for the rights. ESPN said, "We made a disciplined bid that would have been both valuable to FIFA and profitable for our company, while continuing to grow our unprecedented coverage of the World Cup and Women's World Cup events. We were aggressive while remaining prudent from a business perspective." In its statement, ESPN said it was committed to covering soccer, referencing its deals with UEFA, EPL, La Liga and MLS. Given MLS' low ratings on ESPN, it will be interesting to see how aggressive ESPN will be to retain those rights when its MLS media deal expires in '14. Univision's statement also pointed out that the network was being fiscally prudent. "We thank FIFA for the opportunity to participate. On our part we look forward to continue to be the number one destination for soccer programming. As always, we remain committed to prudently evaluating content investments to ensure that we dedicate our resources toward an optimum mix of the news, sports and entertainment programming our audiences love most." In its statement, Univision referenced its other soccer coverage, which includes rights to 12 of the 18 Mexican League soccer teams, U.S. men's national soccer team, Mexican men's national soccer team, CONCACAF Gold Cup and CONCACAF Champions League, CONMEBOL Copa America and MLS.
COULD SPUR GROWTH OF FOX SOCCER CHANNEL: Fox and Telemundo picked up rights to all FIFA events from '15-22, including the men's World Cup in '18 and '22; the women's World Cup in '15 and '19; and all U-20 and U-17 games. Fox is expected to use the rights to help its Fox Soccer Channel, which has a lot of room to grow. It is in just 39 million homes, according to Nielsen numbers from October. Distributors pay $0.17 per subscriber per month for the channel, according to SNL Financial.
Fox' World Series Game Two Overnight Rating Sees Increase From Last Year
Fox earned a 10.0 overnight Nielsen rating for last night's Rangers-Cardinals World Series Game Two, up slightly from a 9.9 rating for the second game of the Giants-Rangers series last year. The game delivered Fox a win in primetime for the second straight night and marked the net's best Thursday since the "American Idol" finale in May. Rangers-Cardinals was also the top program in primetime, beating out episodes of CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" and "The Mentalist." Last night's telecast began with a 6.8 rating at 8:00pm ET, peaking at a 12.9 rating during the final quarter hour from 11:00-11:15pm. St. Louis earned a 49.4 local rating, while Dallas-Ft. Worth earned a 34.4 rating (Austin Karp, THE DAILY).
GAME ONE FINAL RATINGS: Fox finished with an 8.7 fast-national Nielsen rating (14.2 million viewers) for Rangers-Cardinals Game One on Wednesday night, down 2% from an 8.9 rating (15.0 million viewers) for the Giants-Rangers opener last year. The telecast was also the night's highest-rated and most-viewed program in primetime (Karp). However, the HOLLYWOOD REPORTER's Lindsay Powers reported ABC's "Modern Family" beat Game One "in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demo." If the numbers "hold true, it's the second year in a row the ABC comedy will have topped the first game of the World Series in the demo" (HOLLYWOODREPORTER.com, 10/20). TVBYTHENUMBERS.com's Robert Seidman noted that Game One ratings among people 18-49 were "down 11% from last year" (TVBYTHENUMBERS.com, 10/20). In N.Y., Joel Sherman wrote Rangers-Cardinals is the matchup "that the masses tell us they want, one that accentuates parity." But MLB is "not embracing a Fall Classic as much as they are bracing for a classic fall in TV ratings." Sherman: "The noise associated with this time of year will not be the crack of the bat as much as the click of the remote. ... The Rangers are a deep, diverse team and the Cardinals are feisty with as close to an AL lineup as exists in the NL. Is this enough to make America care? Probably not" (N.Y. POST, 10/20).
IS IT WORTH IT FOR FOX? ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY's James Hibberd asked whether the "disruptive fall baseball coverage [is] still worth it" for Fox' primetime schedule considering the "ratings success Fox has enjoyed with entertainment programs this fall … and considering the year's World Series yawner match-up." Fox has had to pre-empt new shows like "New Girl" and "X Factor" so far this month, and Entertainment Chief Kevin Reilly said, "I'd prefer not to do it, but I feel we have shows that viewers will come back for. We could have peppered 'New Girl' and 'Raising Hope' around the schedule. It felt like ultimately we didn't want to knock them down by getting them lesser ratings in other time periods." Hibberd noted discounting the World Series, the six primetime MLB broadcasts on Fox this season "have averaged only a 2.0 in the adult demo," 31% below its current 2.9 average. However, when baseball "works, it really works." Fox "won the fall two years ago" behind the launch of "Glee" and the Yankees-Phillies World Series. Instead of "being a drag on the ticket, baseball became a promotional platform for the shows it was temporarily replacing" (EW.com, 10/19).
THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM: In N.Y., Bob Raissman writes there was no mention of Cardinals hitting coach Mark McGwire's '10 admission to using steroids during his playing days when Fox showed him "gazing out from the dugout in the second inning of Game 1." Fox' Joe Buck and Tim McCarver could be planning on "mentioning all of this at another time during the Series," or they could have thought McGwire's past "is not relevant to the current proceedings." It is "doubtful they were just ducking controversy," as they previously have "talked about steroid use on Fox baseball broadcasts." Raissman wonders if Buck and McCarver were "advised to make any discussion of McGwire's past a low priority." He writes MLB Commissioner Bud Selig, "obsessed with his legacy, doesn't need steroid memories to be rekindled from sea to shining sea -- especially during the World Series" (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 10/21). The GLOBE & MAIL's Bruce Dowbiggin writes Buck "talked about how hard McGwire had worked on learning hitting after his first years in Oakland." Dowbiggin: "Nary a mention of the andro unpleasantness giving him a tiny boost" (GLOBE & MAIL, 10/21).
THE FUTURE'S SO BRIGHT: The HotSpot technology Fox is using during the World Series was the topic of conversation during many of Thursday's sports talk shows on TV. ESPN's Dan Le Batard said, "This is what baseball needed. It used to be slow, but now that you throw in an infrared, slow-motion pajama-cam it makes it better." The show later began showing Le Batard on-screen using the infrared camera and he said, "Wait a minute, look at this. This is kind of cool now. I like this. Look at this: I'm an African-American Colonel Sanders" ("Dan Le Batard Is Highly Questionable," ESPN2, 10/20). ESPN's "Around The Horn" began the broadcast with the panelists being shown with the infrared camera. Host Tony Reali said, "Welcome to the future, fellas." ESPN's J.A. Adande said it is "time for MLB to get with the technology." The camera showed Rangers 3B Adrian Beltre fouled a pitch off his foot during the ninth inning of Game One despite the umpires ruling it a fair ball. Adande said, "I thought it was really cool and it could help to determine whether or not a guy should be on base or not." Denver Post columnist Woody Paige said, "You have the technology available to the umpires. They could use it, they could determine it." Columnist Kevin Blackistone: "We do have the technology available, but I don't know why on my 42-inch color screen in HD I'm looking at a blurry black-and-white photo with a little white blotch on it" ("Around The Horn," ESPN, 10/20). ESPN's Michael Wilbon called the camera "junk, because it gives you a picture that is not as good as the one you had in full color." Wilbon: "We don't need this technology in the World Series" ("PTI," ESPN, 10/20). However, ESPN's Colin Cowherd said, "If you can use technology to get anything right, use it. Fans win, players win, game wins, TV network wins. Who wins with the wrong call?" ESPN's Michelle Beadle: "We know baseball's never going to want this. They are so slow in accepting any kind of change" ("SportsNation," ESPN2, 10/20).
DirecTV Threatens To Drop Fox Channels, Including RSNs, Amid Carriage Dispute
DirecTV has threatened to drop 26 Fox cable channels by Nov. 1 unless the two sides move closer in their carriage negotiations. Contracts with the channels -- including all the RSNs, FX, Speed and Fox Soccer -- expired at the end of September. Fox broadcast channel is not affected; its carriage deal with DirecTV ends Dec. 31. Fox News also is unaffected; its carriage deal with DirecTV ends Jan. 31. DirecTV says Fox is seeking a 40% increase in its carriage fees, a stance it calls "simply unfair and unwarranted." It said in a statement, "We hope to resolve this situation before any action is taken, but we will do what's necessary to protect our customers from excessive and unwarranted fee increases. We already provide News Corp nearly a billion dollars a year for their channels, and we have no problem continuing to compensate them fairly." Fox says it offered to sign an extension, which DirecTV refused. Fox said DirecTV sent a proposal Tuesday afternoon. The net said in a statement, "They have given us no chance to respond before taking an unnecessarily aggressive posture and going public. It is disappointing that they have chosen bad faith tactics over meaningful negotiation." The affected networks include FX, Speed, Fox Soccer, Fuel, Fox Deportes, National Geographic, Fox Movie Channel and 19 RSNs.
ABC College Football Audience On The Rise; CBS, NBC, ESPN, ESPN2 Seeing Declines
ABC is leading all college football broadcasters at the midway point of the '11 season with a 3.7 rating and 5.7 million viewers for its 15 telecasts to date. That is up 16% and 12%, respectively, from a 3.2 rating and 5.1 million viewers for 12 telecasts at the same point last season. The net's "Saturday Night Football" has helped fuel audience numbers, averaging a 4.3 rating and 7.0 million viewers for five telecasts, up 26% and 28% from last year. The Sept. 17 telecast of Oklahoma-Florida State remains the highest-rated and most-viewed college football game of the season on any net with a 5.8 rating and 9.3 million viewers. Those figures are ABC's best non-bowl game audience since the Texas-Nebraska Big 12 Championship in '09 (7.5 rating/12.7 million viewers). CBS' SEC football package is averaging a 3.3 rating and 5.2 million viewers through six games, down 15% and 18%, respectively, from last year. CBS should receive a bump in two weeks when No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama face off in Tuscaloosa. NBC is averaging a 2.0 rating and 2.9 million viewers for its three Notre Dame football games to date, down sharply from the same point last year. A blowout victory against Air Force on Oct. 8 which earned a 1.1 rating marked NBC's lowest-rated Notre Dame game ever.
CABLE: ESPN is averaging a 1.7 U.S. rating and 2.6 million viewers for its 38 college football telecasts to date, down slightly from a 1.8 rating and 2.8 million viewers last year (40 telecasts). Primetime telecasts on Saturday have seen a sharp drop on the net. ESPN's seven Saturday primetime games have averaged a 2.2 rating and 3.6 million viewers, down 24% in ratings and viewers compared to the same point last season. Telecasts on ESPN2 are averaging a 0.9 rating and 1.3 million viewers, down slightly from a 1.0 rating and 1.5 million viewers. During its first season airing weekly Big 12 and Pac-12 games, FX is averaging a 0.6 rating and 970,000 viewers. The net's best audience to date was a 1.2 rating and 1.9 million viewers for Missouri-Oklahoma on Sept. 24, which has been over double the audience of any of the net's other six games. Versus' mix of Mountain West and Pac-12 games are seeing a gain in viewership to date (+6%). Ratings for those matchups are flat at a 0.2 rating. National telecasts on FSN are also seeing a drop for both Pac-12 and Big 12 matchups to date.COLLEGE FOOTBALL VIEWERSHIP THROUGH WEEK SEVENNETGMSVIEWERS (000)PREV.% +/-'10 GMSABC155,7305,11812%12CBS65,1886,306-18%6NBC32,9173,409-14%5ESPN382,5772,808-8%40ESPN2171,3231,541-14%19FX7970------Versus73853626%8

Henry Apologizes to Bolton For Clubs' Entanglement During Overseas TV Rights Controversy
EPL club Liverpool Owner John Henry has apologized to EPL club Bolton Wanderers "for the manner in which they became entangled in the overseas television rights controversy," according to Chris Bascombe of the London TELEGRAPH. Bolton was named by Liverpool Managing Dir Ian Ayre "as being less of an attraction to foreign TV subscribers of the Premier League than England's biggest clubs." Ayre said, "If you're in Kuala Lumpur there isn't anyone subscribing to ESPN to watch Bolton, or if they are it's a very small number. The large majority is subscribing because they want to watch Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea or Arsenal" (London TELEGRAPH, 10/21). Meanwhile, EPL club Queens Park Rangers Owner Tony Fernandes labeled Liverpool "'naive' for attempting to prompt a debate about the Premier League's overseas TV rights." SKY NEWS' Ian Dovaston noted Fernandes was "unequivocal, saying anything other than the collective is 'wrong.'" He said, "I come from the school of Formula 1. Divide and rule is a way of weakening all of us and I don't think it was very far-sighted of Liverpool in terms of negotiating that. And I think there's ups and downs and no-one can claim to own fans. I think loyalties in Asia are growing very rapidly and they can change ... so I think it's a little bit naive." Fernandes continued, "The way to do it is to negotiate collectively and bring the power of the Premier League as one to TV stations. And I think TV stations want that anyway because it's easier administratively to negotiate that" (SKY.com, 10/20).
CONTROLLING THE POT: La Liga club FC Barcelona VP Javier Faus indicated that the club and fellow La Liga club Real Madrid are "not prepared to cede to demands for an English-style system of sharing income from audiovisual rights as they want to protect their status as dominant powers in Spanish and global soccer." In London, Iain Rogers notes Barcelona and Real Madrid "take half the annual TV pot of around 600 million euros [US$828.5M], which helps lift their annual earnings close to 500 million and means they can afford to buy the best players and pay the highest wages." Faus said that from the '15-16 season onward, "when new TV contracts would come into force Barca and Real were prepared to share some of the extra money that was negotiated with media companies." But Faus added that they were "not prepared to see their share of the pot shrink" (London INDEPENDENT, 10/21).
NO PLANS TO ELIMINATE RELEGATION: In London, Mark Cue reports EPL CEO Richard Scudamore Thursday insisted there is "absolutely no appetite" to scrap relegation and promotion in the EPL and described such talk as "nonsensical." Scudamore said, "The whole promotion/relegation thing is the lifeblood of football in this country." League Managers Association CEO Richard Bevan on Monday claimed that "some foreign owners of top-tier clubs in England were in favour of ending relegation from the Premier League." But Scudamore said, "This idea that the foreign owners are somehow more interested in this than the UK owners is just a misconception." He added, "It's just a nonsensical starting point, it's scare-mongering of the worst order in my view." Football League Chair Greg Clarke said, "I think 75 per cent of the games would be dead after Christmas if there were no relegation pressures, and then why would people watch?" (LONDON TIMES, 10/21). Liverpool Owner John Henry "denied on Thursday that foreign owners in the English Premier League want to end the relegation and promotion system." He called the claim "complete nonsense," adding it "hasn't been discussed" (AP, 10/20).
NHL's Int'l TV Deal With Modern Times Group Valued At More Than $50M
The NHL's five-year pact with broadcaster Modern Times Group that includes TV rights in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark "is valued at more than $50 million," according to Sam Mamudi of MARKETWATCH.com. The deal is the "largest of several the NHL has struck in recent weeks, as it negotiates its international rights." The NHL "has also sealed deals in France, the U.K., Spain and the Czech-Slovak market." The international push "isn't just on television." More than 20% of the NHL's digital audience "is from outside North America, and earlier this month it launched six local-language official websites in Russian, Czech, Finnish, German, Swedish and Slovak." A seventh, in French, is "due to launch by the end of the month." The sites "offer typical NHL.com content, but also focus on native players, with video interviews conducted in their own language, tailored highlights packages and localized versions of player pages." Each site "also has local writers." Mamudi noted NHL teams have played regular-season games in Europe every year since '07, and the league is "keen to capitalize on its popularity on the Continent" (MARKETWATCH.com, 10/20). The GLOBE & MAIL's David Shoalts wrote while the NHL "took a small step toward solving its TV problem in Europe," many hockey fans in Russia and the rest of Europe "remain without access to games on television two weeks after the season started and they continue to express their outrage on the social networks." The only way for those fans to watch NHL games is "on their computers if they subscribe to the league's video-streaming service" (GLOBEANDMAIL.com, 10/20).
ON THE TUBE: Scandanavia NHL players reacted positively to the new TV deal with Modern Times Group. Red Wings C Valtteri Filppula said, "A lot of kids want to see NHL games and now that it's possible, it's going to be huge. Thinking back, when I was growing up I wish I could've seen games, so definitely it's a good thing." Flyers D Kimmo Timonen: "Obviously it's huge. There are brothers and parents [who] can watch the games because they can't come here too often." Red Wings RW Henrik Zetterberg: "It's pretty cool for them to be able to watch games and also for our parents -- so they can watch games or DVR the game and see it in the morning when they wake up. It's come a long way" (NHL.com, 10/20).
NBA Lockout Watch, Day 113: Lack Of Games Could Impact CSN Ad Revenue, License Fees
Comcast SportsNet, which airs Warriors' and NBA Kings' games, "could take a hit in ad revenue and license fees from other TV providers such as satellite services Dish and DirecTV" due to the ongoing NBA lockout, according to Susan Slusser of the S.F. CHRONICLE. CSN and KNBR-AM, the Warriors' radio outlet, "pay rights fees to air the games." KNBR Program Dir Lee Hammer said that the station "has not heard any complains from advertisers and is formulating plans for alternative programming." The lockout "might come at a delicate time for KNBR, which for the past week has been rumored to be facing job cuts, potentially including on-air talent, at the hands of corporate parent Cumulus Media." In addition, KNBR is in "its final year of its contract with the Warriors and has a new competitor, KGMZ (95.7), which is expected to make a strong play for the Warriors' rights." CSN is "ramping up its 49ers programming and is considering airing classic Warriors games if details can be arranged." Sharks' telecasts "might be an option for Comcast SportsNet advertisers." CSN Bay Area VP & GM Ted Griggs said, "There are a lot of traditional NBA advertisers. We will try to convince them, like our viewers, that hockey is a great alternative" (S.F. CHRONICLE, 10/20).
People & Personalities: Marty Reid Praised For Broadcast Following Wheldon's Death
In L.A., Tom Hoffarth writes after driver Dan Wheldon's death in the Izod IndyCar World Championships, ESPN/ABC's Marty Reid's "deft handling of last Sunday's race, with the ESPN team of producers and technicians scrambling to fill the hours between the accident and the announcement of his death, set the right tone of the broadcast as the tension built." Reid "followed the lead of telecast producer Jamie Shiftan to make sure nothing inaccurate trickled out." Reid said, "The first thing that happens in those situations, you remind everyone ... don't speculate and don't assume. ... The one thing I'm most proud of the entire 2-hour broadcast is we didn't have one fact that turned out to be incorrect. That's far and away the most important thing because in this day and age, all of that was out on YouTube and the Internet the moment after it happened" (L.A. DAILY NEWS, 10/21).
BIDDING FAREWELL: The Pistons announced that reporter Eli Zaret "has been let go" from the team's television crew. In Detroit, Perry Farrell noted "no reason was given for his departure." Zaret "spent five seasons as the team's sideline reporter" on FS Detroit (FREEP.com, 10/20). Also in Detroit, Vincent Goodwill reports Pistons Exec VP/Broadcasting Pete Skorich, who "had been with the franchise for 30 years," parted ways with Palace Sports and Entertainment "a couple of weeks ago." Goodwill: "It was then that Zaret saw the writing on the wall" (DETROIT FREE PRESS, 10/20).
HERE TO ENTERTAIN: In Milwaukee, Bob Wolfley wrote when watching ESPN "College GameDay" co-host Lee Corso "perform, and it is performance, you realize there isn't anyone who seems to be having more fun more talking about college football." Corso said, "I keep telling the guys at 'GameDay.' We are in the entertainment business and football is our vehicle. We got to entertain 'em on Saturday or you're not going to make it." Corso suffered a stroke a stroke two years ago, and its effect "can still be heard in his speech." But his "energy, the jester with the gestures, is one of the reasons "GameDay" is such a popular fixture at college campuses" (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 10/21).
NOTES: In N.Y., Phil Mushnick writes ESPN and Jon Gruden Monday night "celebrated Gruden's new, five-year contract to continue destroying 'Monday Night Football' telecasts by allowing Gruden to destroy another 'Monday Night Football' telecast." Gruden not only "has what ESPN finds most attractive in its top analysts -- the eager ability to talk all game -- he has the bonus skill of talking lots of nonsense" (N. Y. POST, 10/21)....BTN on Thursday announced it hired Tom Dienhart as a senior writer for BTN.com, covering football and men's basketball. Dienhart was Rivals/Yahoo Sports' senior national college football writer since '08 (BTN).
Final Ratings: Chase For The NASCAR Sprint Cup Up 8% Across ESPN/ABC
The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup is averaging a 2.8 rating and 4.5 million viewers for the four races held as scheduled across ESPN and ABC, up 8% and 7%, respectively, from a 2.6 rating and 4.2 million viewers last year (five races). The first Chase race from Chicagoland Speedway was rained out and run on a Monday. This past weekend's Bank of America 500 from Charlotte Motor Speedway on ABC -- which is the only Chase race on broadcast TV -- earned a 3.2 rating (5.4 million viewers), flat compared to the same race last year.
WHAT'S UP DOC: ESPN Films' fall slate of documentaries has averaged 962,000 viewers for the premieres of the first three films, which has included "Catching Hell," "Renée" and "The Dotted Line." "Catching Hell," which was director Alex Gibney's look at sports scapegoating around Steve Bartman and Bill Buckner, has had the top premiere thus far with 1.4 million viewers on Sept. 27. That figure was higher than audience for all but six of the "30 for 30" premieres on the net. "Renée" averaged 508,000 viewers for its premiere and "The Dotted Line" averaged 810,000 viewers.
The chart below lists final Nielsen ratings from recent sports telecasts. All ratings listed are U.S. ratings.

That would be Rachael Taylor, Minka Kelly, and Annie Ilonzeh. Of the three, Kelly is probably the most famous, though honestly, not by a whole lot. Which probably makes them perfect to launch an all-new TV show, since there will be little expectations out of them.
Rachael Taylor, Minka Kelly, and Annie Ilonzeh play the new Charlie's Angeles, with "Battle: Los Angeles'" Ramon Rodriguez as the new Bosley. John Forsythe is said to be reprising his "voice" character, Charlie, from the original show.
Here is your first look at the three lovely ladies, apparently shooting the show's opening sequence. They don't look very deadly, unless your definition of "deadly" is va-va-vroom.

Darton State Falls Short of Conference Title
Mon, 13 May 2013 02:58:07 GMT —
A tight game was decided in the eighth inning as Darton State College fell to Middle Georgia College 5-4 in the final game of the GCAA Championship on Saturday at Darton.
The Cavaliers were up 4-2 going into the eighth, but the Warriors went into a three- run rally that began with Cavalier starter Chris Long and ended with relief pitcher Andrew Crumbley.
Long got into trouble after he walked Cody Langford and then gave up a double to Blake Shouse, scoring Langford. Crumbley came in from the bullpen with a runner on second and gave up a double to batter Andrew Kelly on his first pitch, advancing Shouse to third. The Warriors kept at it as Trae Wilson hit a hard ground ball to left field, scoring Shouse for the tying run.
An infield error allowed Kelly to score the winning run.
Middle Georgia closer Justin Flores didn't give up a hit and picked up the win for the Warriors.
Darton's Cody Wofford sparked the Cavalier offense early. He homered in the first inning, singled in the seventh and stole bases twice. Brandon Sharpe went 2-for-3 with a double, three stolen bases and a run scored. And Davis Knapp doubled and scored once.
The Cavaliers finished the season 42-13, outperforming their previous season-win record by 4 wins. They climbed to No. 9 in the NJCAA over the 2012-2013

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
A great wave of immigration to the New World was the result of the enormous political and religious disarray that struck England at that time. Families left for the New World in extremely large numbers. The long journey was the end of many immigrants and many more arrived sick and starving. Still, those who made it were rewarded with an opportunity far greater than they had known at home in England. These emigrant families went on to make significant contributions to these emerging colonies in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants: Thomas Harpen, who sailed to Maryland in 1661; James Herpin, who went to Alabama in 1858; Jacob Herpin to Illinois in 1860; Henry and Joseph Herpin to Illinois in 1864..

13 runners have been confirmed to take to the 1400 metre course at Flemington this weekend for the Group 2 Kewney Stakes; offering punters several good chances to place a winning bet.
Having returned to the track in 2014 in top form, classy filly Solicit currently heads betting markets for the 2014 Kewney Stakes at a short quote of $2, ahead of Marianne ($6), Miss Rose De Lago ($8.50) and undoubted market mover Suavito ($12).
With only three entrants currently featuring at odds less-than $10, bookies believe the running of the Kewney Stakes will be particularly clear cut, meaning there is sufficient value to be had in tipping a winning trifecta.
Exciting filly Marianne has claimed two wins and three places from only six competitive starts to date, and was perhaps the biggest winner at the Kewney Stakes barrier draw, having been allocated the central gate 7. After finishing an unlucky second in her opening two runs for 2014; the Group 3 Kevin Hayes Stakes (1200m) and Group 2 Angus Armanasco (1400m), trainer Michael Kent is confident of going one betting in the Kewney Stakes this weekend.
After claiming the Group 3 The Vanity (1400m) first-up on February 15th, three-year-old Solicit is clear favourite for the 2014 Kewney Stakes, even after drawing the slightly awkward barrier 9. The classy Street Cry filly has not finished outside the places since her maiden run in March 2013, and arguably produced her best performance to date when third behind Kirramosa and Zanbagh in the Group 1 Crown Oaks (2500m) in November; her maiden tilt at Group 1 level. Jockey Damian Lane has been confirmed to retain the ride this weekend, and will be particularly difficult to beat if able to find a good path early.
Suavito ($11)
Yet to finish outside the top three in all of her five starts so far, Suavito has already been heavily backed from opening odds of $16 to a current quote of $11, registering as the un-rivalled market mover for the 2014 Kewney Stakes. After drawing the ideal barrier 2 for this weekend's Group 2, local trainer Nigel Blackiston is confident the talented Thorn Park filly will deliver in her maiden tilt at Group level.

EasyGIS is a simple way to share and publish geographic data. It presents a number of core features that allow you to share and publish geographic localized data sets on the Web. It has a simple Web user interface for integration with external data and service providers to prepare so-called GIS mashups. Built-in support for Google Maps and OpenStreetMap serves as a good basement for thematic mapping. All system services are exposed via a RESTful API. With the REST Web resources, external clients can leverage the search and map rendering functionality, embedding the resources into external applications and sites.
The main goal of the Java API for KML (JAK) is to provide an automatically generated full reference implementation of the KML object model defined by OGC's KML standard and Google's GX extensions. It is an object-oriented API that enables the convenient and easy use of KML in existing Java environments. KML is an XML-based language schema that describes and visualizes geographic data. The language is often used in 2D web based maps and 3D virtual globes. APIs for XML dialects are implemented using two layers. The current official XML schema of KML in conjunction with the JAXB technology is used to generate Java class representations automatically. KML's schema is a document describing the correct syntax of KML files and can, therefore, be used for validating the corresponding KML files. The semantic application layer, which is found on top of the JAXB layer, is abstracted from the raw generated classes and defines a well-shaped API. This API provides easy out-of-the-box access to KML for the user. This project provides a Java API for KML in order to enable this.
InfiView is a software platform for developing enterprise interactive, dynamic graphical maps and diagrams. InfiView uses AJAX technology, and its advanced dynamic memory use enables use of any data size. InfiView applications can be programmatically generated from your databases or your Web services. InfiView can generate both embedded controls and complete applications. It lets your applications include multiple layers. You have full control of how transparent each layer is and you can interactively change it.
WMS Inspector is a Firefox add-on with tools for working with Web Map Services (WMS). It can be especially useful when working with JavaScript mapping libraries like OpenLayers or MapBender or setting up WMS services with servers like MapServer, GeoServer, or deegree. Its main features include structured loading of all WMS requests in the current page and its parameters, sorted by service or type, individual WMS request (images or errors) visualization on a lateral pane, the ability to copy services, requests, or parameters to the clipboard, direct editing of request parameter values, and output of GetCapabilities requests as an HTML report or the original file.
PHPStateMapper is a PHP library for drawing a map with areas shaded by varying degrees of intensity based on data given as a simple list. It exports a PNG image in a configurable size and color. It is appropriate for generating images for use in reporting and analytics. Data can be loaded programmatically or from a comma separated values (CSV) source file.
District Builder is a software application designed to give the public transparent, accessible, and easy-to-use mapping tools to draw the boundaries of their communities or to generate redistricting plans for their state and localities. The drawing of electoral districts is among the least transparent processes in democratic governance. All too often, redistricting authorities maintain power by obstructing public participation. The resulting districts embody the goals of politicians to the detriment of the representational interests of communities and the public at large. With District Builder, the public has the capacity to create and submit district plans for municipal, county, and state governments, support redistricting competitions, and keep the entire process open. In addition to legislative redistricting, District Builder's flexibility accommodates school districts, police districts, and many other redistricting needs.

Tralee's Filipinos rally to aid
TRALEE'S large Filipino community is rallying to support those affected by Typhoon Haiyan which has devastated the Pacific nation leaving many thousands dead.
Well over 100 Philippine nationals live in the town and its surrounding areas with many of them working at Kerry General Hospital and other private medical practices and clinics across north Kerry.
Since news of the typhoon's catastrophic impact broke, the tight knit Tralee Filipino community have been working to provide whatever support and aid they can to their families and friends at home.
Given the scale of the destruction the typhoon left in its wake, communication with home is proving extremely difficult though most of Tralee Filipino community's loved ones are thought to have escaped the worst ravages of the storm. It will however be many days and possibly weeks before all can be contacted.
A collection is already underway at Kerry General Hospital and street collections are expected to take place in Tralee and larger shops towards the end of the week and over the weekend.
The Filipino community is also planning a mass for those killed, injured, or displaced by Typhoon Haiyan.

User review on Volkswagen Vento written by Mukesh Saxena on 01 May 2015
Mukesh Saxena's review on Volkswagen Vento Highline
Year of Manufacture : 2014 | Driven no. of Kms. : 3000
- Pros: Powerful and stable
- Cons: Expecting more mileage
The sleek and stylish looks of the Volkswagen Vento made me choose this car instantly. I bought Highline Petrol as I do not require long running, just wanted it for city purpose and rarely for long journeys. It is a good spacious car with easy to reach controls. The engine performs well and fuel efficiency is around 14-15kmpl. Ride quality and handling is at par with its competitors. Even I have tried highway journeys and it was powerful and stable at high speeds also.

Shindler ready for new start at Fortune
Having helped North West Neasden A win a hat-trick of league and cup doubles, central defender Scott Shindler has moved to pasture new after dropping down two divisions to join Temple Fortune.
Shindler believes that his winning ethic can be a key factor and help Fortune bridge the gap after they finished sixth in Division Two.
"I've won it all now and decided I wanted to experience playing in a team with my mates," Shindler said. "I also want to help Fortune to go further than they have done in recent seasons. It has not been an easy decision but I do believe it is the right one at this stage of my career."
He is confident that the move will not hinder his chances of being selected for the MSFL Rep team. Under Tony Gold in 2005, he was a member of the squad that claimed the league's only victory in the London Inter-League Cup.
Neasden's winning mentality has made them the envy of the league but Shindler warned against a mass exodus. "I can see why Neasden haven't been liked from the outside but I must say internally we are all one big family, and I'll miss all the boys there."
The defender will not miss the bright lights of the top flight. "I think not being in the spotlight will help me enjoy myself more. I've grown a bit sick of the circus that surrounds the Premier League and find many games ending in farce due to the attitude of a lot of the big shots in the division."
Meanwhile, Neasden have started planning for next season. Jonny Ellis, the double-winning captain, has stepped down. Lee Cash takes the armband with Matt Sofier appointed vice-captain. The club will once again enter the Sunday FA Cup and London FA Cup as well as the three Jewish competitions.
Daniel Fox is standing down as joint-manager leaving Jamie Cole to lead the team on his own.
Cole was unhappy that he and Fox as well as several players were overlooked at the JC MSFL awards. Cole said: "I just don't understand how the decisions are made. Unfortunately it has become a farce over the last few years. This was our most testing season as we struggled to put out a side each week yet we won the double for the third year in a row."
Cole was also shocked to find out that he had been sacked as Rep team manager via the Jewish press, after the MSFL was found guilty of fielding ineligible players in the London FA Inter-League Cup final.
Cole said: "I have been a loyal participant in Jewish football for 15 years and that is how I was treated. It's a disgrace and has made me question whether or not I want to be involved with this league."

Q. I have a lot of swelling and pain in my joints. A cousin with arthritis recommended a compounded cream called ketoprofen gel. What can you tell me about this medicine, its side effects and interactions with other drugs?
A. Ketoprofen, like ibuprofen, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. You won't find this on the shelf in a chain store, but some pharmacists can compound this topical treatment without a prescription. Putting the pain reliever right on the joint minimizes side effects such as stomach irritation or elevated blood pressure. Many people find it is helpful in reducing joint pain.

Zero-VOC Industrial Maintainance Metal Coating
This page updated April 27, 2006.
Adhesive Coatings Company
Zero-VOC Industrial Maintainance Metal Coating
CARB Grant Number 95-346
|The statements and conclusions in this Report are those of the grantee and not necessarily those of the California Air Resources Board. The mention of commercial products, their source, or their use in connection with material reported herein is not to be construed as actual or implied endorsement of such products.
|Hydrocarbon emissions generated from stationary sources are a significant environmental problem in California. One of the largest stationary emission sources is the evaporation of solvents used in paints, coatings, inks, and other products. Local air pollution control districts in California have passed rules to limit the volatile organic compounds (VOC) content in these products. Air emissions can be reduced through a gradual shift from high-to low-/no-VOC coatings. By phasing in low-/no-VOC coatings, industries will be able to reduce energy use and air emissions without installation of add-on controls.
|Under California Air Resource Board (ARB) sponsorship, AeroVironment Environmental Services, Inc. (AVES), Adhesive Coatings Co. (ADCO), and Compliance Engineering Technology, Inc. (CET) are teamed to develop and demonstrate a metal coating, which contains no volatile organic compound (VOC) and no hazardous air pollutant (HAP). This two-part system consists, in general, of an epoxy resin emulsion and an aqueous solution of a reaction product of certain polyamines. This new technology can help the coating industry reduce emissions of VOC and HAP. At the same time, this technology has the potential of affecting a sizable reduction in energy consumption in: (1) heat curing end products coated with paint made with the new polymer and (2) thermal oxidizing VOCs from solvent-based coating operations.
|The objectives of this project are to develop a new metal coating system that is sufficiently mature for demonstration and to develop a technology transfer plan to get the product into public use. The coating system was first fully tested in the laboratory. Hundreds of panels were prepared and tested, and many engineering hours were spent to develop the coating theory and fine tune the coating performance characteristics. The performance characteristics of this new coating system are excellent in terms of adhesion, drying times, hardness, and rust and chemical resistance.
|Field demonstrations were conducted at two selected manufacturing facilities. The field demonstrations provide valuable information on how the coating performs in a full-scale application. In addition, the field demonstrations provide the information required for converting from conventional metal coating to the new metal coating system.
|This report summarizes the research and development of this metal coating system. Topics presented in this report include: product performance data, application techniques, ease of use, and field demonstration results. A cost analysis was conducted for this new system and included costs of materials, capital outlay, and disposal expenses. An environmental impact study was also included in this project to address emissions benefits, disposal cost saving, and energy conservation based on data gathered during the in-plant, full-scale demonstrations.
|Substantial progress has been made to identify market opportunities in California for new environmentally-sound products, specifically the need for a no- / low-VOC finishing coating system for metal furniture and industrial maintenance coatings. The complete absence of organic solvents means that this new coating is not only less hazardous to use but emits no volatile organic compounds; therefore, it does not contribute to air pollution. The selfcontained manufacturing process emits no significant air pollutants.
|For example, it is estimated that companies in California use over 300-million liters or 10-million gallons of industrial maintenance, primer, and other architectural coatings each year in California alone. The potential to reduce emissions is very significant if all such coatings contained no solvents. Eliminating approximately three pounds per gallon of solvent by employing the no-VOC coating technology, would be equivalent to eliminating over 30-million pounds of emissions each year. Because this new water-borne metal finish coating dramatically reduces the level of VOCs, it has excellent potential for long-term emission compliance. It does not contain HAPs, which are specifically beneficial to a workers health.
|The environmental benefits of this project and the cost-effective solution for VOC reduction in California would be achieved with the continuous VOC reduction capability of this product and thereby help the California Air Resources Board (ARB) meet clean air goals.

Hoffman dealing with tender shoulder
Hoffman dealing with tender shoulder
LOS ANGELES -- As if the Padres aren't under enough pressure in the National League West and Wild Card races at the moment, manager Bruce Bochy revealed on Monday night that Trevor Hoffman, his star reliever, is dealing with some tenderness in his right (throwing) shoulder. The soreness was a key reason why Bochy didn't go back to Hoffman in the 10th inning of Monday's 11-10 loss to the Dodgers, and instead went with veteran right-hander Rudy Seanez, who blew the save and the game by allowing a walk to Kenny Lofton and Nomar Garciaparra's two-run walk-off homer. "I asked, but Trevor's been dealing with some tenderness in his shoulder, and we decided it wouldn't be wise to push it," Bochy said. "He only has a certain amount of bullets to use, and we decided not to use them."
Hoffman blew his shot at career save No. 476 and his 40th of the season, when he came on in the ninth inning to replace Jon Adkins and allowed homers to Russell Martin and Marlon Anderson on consecutive pitches. This came after Jeff Kent and J.D. Drew homered to open the inning off Adkins, who was brought in to protect a 9-5 lead. It was the fourth time in Major League history a team had hit that many consecutive homers in a single inning, and the first time since 1964. Hoffman threw only 11 pitches, finally getting all three outs, two of them booming outfield flies, including Rafael Furcal's inning-ender that was snagged at the right-center field fence. He threw 21 pitches on Sunday, going to a full count on three of the four batters he faced, walking one. "I'd like to have limited those pitches, but it just didn't happen," Hoffman said. Hoffman downplayed the apparent minor injury, saying that it wasn't any different than the aches and pains suffered by most players as the regular season reaches its zenith with two weeks to go. He's sitting on 475 saves, three short of Lee Smith's all-time record of 478, with 13 games remaining in the regular season. Hoffman's in his 14th season, but feels he isn't in the same precarious position as the Yankees' Mariano Rivera, who at 36, has missed the last three weeks with tenderness around his right elbow. "I definitely don't think it's a health issue," Hoffman said. "It's a situation where I'll be ready to go tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll go out and do a better job than I did tonight. Tenderness, soreness, whatever has been put out there shouldn't even be discussed in light of how things went tonight. And I don't want it to be broached in regards to that." Hoffman had surgery on that shoulder to clean up his labrum and correct an impingement during the 2003 season. The arthroscopic surgery was performed during that Spring Training and limited Hoffman to only nine appearances that season, all in September. He has been healthy since then, making 173 appearances and saving 123 games in the past three seasons. He's blown 14 saves during that period, five now this season. Going into the game, he'd only allowed two homers in 55 innings and he said he could never recall allowing homers on consecutive pitches. Hoffman, who will be 39 years old on Oct. 13, said he hoped that his condition hadn't affected Bochy's strategy. "That's just Boch being the type of manager he's been for a long period of time," Hoffman said. "I hope I didn't put him in a situation where he felt shorted with me not going back out there. That's just cooler heads prevailing on both ends."

One of the most enjoyable and informative annual anti-malware conferences is being held in Geneva, Switzerland this year. The upcoming Virus Bulletin 2009 will bring presentations over three days on two tracks, business and technical, taking place 23-25 September 2009. Online registration is available on the site.
On the technical track, Kurt Baumgartner from our PC Tools ThreatFire research team will be presenting for a third year. "AntiRE En Masse" will be a discussion of anti reversing techniques documented in Peter Ferrie's recent set of papers published in multiple Virus Bulletin magazines over the past year and their implementation (or lack thereof) in a set of the past year's most prevalent or active malware families. Waledac, Koobface, Taterf/Gamepass, and other crimeware nailed by ThreatFire on a daily basis will be dissected and examined in this light. We look forward to seeing you there.

We have been there a few times now and so I'm much more comfortable writing my view over this place, the food has been very consistent and it is well priced. If you are like me and after quality food, this is the place to be. It has been fresh, flavoursome and great portion sized meals every time. The service is very friendly and attentive. I will strongly recommend this place."Zomato
Very impressed with the service and food. I was so happy they made a pasta with white sauce to accommodate my taste buds which proved the pastas and sauces are fresh and the taste was outstanding. At the end I was asked if everything was good and I can certainly say that it was excellent."TripAdvisor

+Can I use a voucher after it has expired?
Voucher redemption is at the discretion of the business providing the service or product. Most businesses tend to enforce the validity terms of the voucher and often are not able to extend past the validity date. We always prefer if our members can use their voucher at any time, but unfortunately, redemption after expiry is purely at the discretion of the business.
Please note, many businesses book out prior to the voucher expiry - we suggest making a booking at least four weeks prior to the end of the validity period (and if you're trying to get a booking for a popular time, like a weekend, the booking should be made as soon as possible. The earlier you book, the more likely it is that you will get your preferred booking time!)
It is very rare for Ouffer to issue a refund in cases where the voucher has expired. Most offers have a redemption period of at least 3 months, which is usually plenty of time for all purchasers to use their voucher. In any case - the expiry date of each offer is clearly stated in the "Fine Print" section of the offer page, and it is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that they have availed of the offer before this date!

+How can I resolve an issue with a past/present offer?
Please note that Ouffer is the medium through which businesses feature their services, and cannot be held responsible for the services provided by such businesses. If you have a complaint about a featured business or the service that they have provided, the first step should be to contact the business directly. They may be able to take steps to resolve the situation, which will usually be similar to steps taken when dealing with any customer complaint.
You will be able to find contact details for the featured business on the offer-page. Other conditions (such as the expiry date) can be found in the "Company" section of the offer-page.
Alternatively, you can ask the Ouffer Customer Experience Team and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Please note, it is really important whenever making a refund request to provide very detailed and accurate information - if any information provided is false, we will not be able to provide a refund to you.
We always provide a credit or refund when a business is no longer operating and you have a valid voucher. You can find our Refund Policy at http://experiences.ouffer.com/refund-policy-adma for further information.
If you would like a refund for any other reason, please let us know via email to email@example.com. Our support team will always do their best to assist.
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+How can I resolve an issue with a product I purchased?
If you've purchased a product that you redeemed directly with a vendor, the first step is to try to contact them - their details should be on the voucher.
If you the vendor isn't getting back to you, or if you've purchased a product that was shipped directly to you without the need to redeem your voucher, please let us know exactly what the difficulties you have are by email to email@example.com and we'll do our best to help!
We are only able to offer refunds in cases where items are faulty, damaged or incorrectly advertised.

+How can I unsubscribe from receiving your emails?
If you would like to unsubscribe from receiving emails from Ouffer in future, please go to My Account and then click on My Subscriptions.
On that page you can choose exactly what emails you want (you can even choose to receive an email once a week, instead of every day) or you can unsubscribe from all our emails in just a few quick clicks!
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+How do I buy an offer?
Firstly, make sure you are signed up!
Then, after logging in - click 'Buy Now' towards the top-right of the offer page. On the next page, you will be asked to confirm the quantity of vouchers that you wish to purchase (if you're using credits to purchase, this is where you can select how much credit you want to use).
If you're buying a product, you may also be required to provide your Postal Address, or your choice of redemption location. Always make sure you enter the correct address for delivery.
Once you've done all that, you can then go ahead and click "Complete My Order" towards the bottom of the page. The number of credits selected (if any) will be deducted from the cost of the voucher, and the corresponding number of credits removed from your account.
Follow the on-screen instructions from here - you can pay via a registered PayPal account, or using your credit/debit card.
As always, if you you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+How do I locate my voucher?
After you buy a voucher, you'll get an email with a link to download (and print) your voucher. Unfortunately, some mail servers automatically transfer our emails to your 'junk' mail box.
(If you haven't been getting our emails, it's also a good idea to make sure that you added us as a 'safe sender' to make sure our emails aren't going to your junk box!)
But, you can also actually log into your account and print the vouchers off whenever you like! Here's how:
- Sign into the site,
- Hover over "My Account" at the top-middle of the screen.
- Choose "My Ouffers" from the drop-down menu.
- Choose "All" towards the top-right corner of the screen.
- Click "View/Print" next to the voucher you need to view/print.
Instructions on how to redeem the voucher will be contained on the voucher itself.
Things to keep in mind:
Lots of our members have more than one email address – if you log into your account and you can't find your voucher, you may have used a different email address to purchase – for example your work email or your personal email address. Try all the email addresses you have and if you still can't find it, let us know.
If you used PayPal to purchase, what happens is that a new account will be created using your PayPal email address. If your login email for PayPal and Ouffer are the same then there won't be any problems, but if you use a different address for PayPal, a new Ouffer account with that PayPal email will be created. Your voucher will be placed in that account.
If you purchased a voucher and it isn't showing up, the next step is to check your credit card statement (on-line if you have access!). If there is a charge there, please send an email right away to Ouffer so the team can investigate it for you. Please include as much detail as possible to help us assist you as quick as we can.

+How do I refer a friend?
In order to refer a friend to Ouffer, you just need to…
First log in to Ouffer! After logging in, in the top corner of the page, there is a link which says "Invite Friends, get $5". You will then be taken to a page that provides personal "referral link". You can copy and paste this link into an email to all of your family and friends (or even use the Facebook and Twitter sharing buttons). If any of your friends sign up to Ouffer, we'll give you $5 credit as soon as they make their first purchase.
If you have any questions about referring friends, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

+I've booked my travel dates with the hotel - am I able to change them?
Most of our hotel partners allow one change of date, however, that will depend on the hotel's cancellation policy (and how far away your booking is). If your booking is for tomorrow, it is unlikely you will be able to change your travel date, however, if your booking is six months away, most hotels will accommodate a change of date. Some hotels may charge a small administrative fee for any chances (at their own discretion).
We're more than happy to assist where we can, but any date requests need to be made with the hotel directly.
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+I bought a gift voucher, how do I find it?
At the end of the offer, we will send a link to download the gift voucher – exactly like a normal voucher. You can send the voucher as a PDF to the lucky recipient, or you can print it off and combine I with a card if you prefer!
To find your gift vouchers you just need to log on to Ouffer and then click on the "My Account" link, which appears once you have signed in, and select My Ouffers.
Once you've logged in you will notice several tabs, 'Active', 'Used', 'Offered', 'Expired' and 'All' If you click on Offered you'll be able to see any gift vouchers you've bought!
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+I bought an offer - what do I do now?
You will find instructions on how to redeem the offer on the voucher itself. Depending on the offer you've purchased, you may need to contact the featured business to make a booking - contact details will be provided on the voucher. You may also find them in the "Fine Print" or "Company" section on the offer page, along with any other conditions relevant to that particular offer.
Your redemption code is the code printed at the top of your voucher - in almost all cases, you will need to give this code when redeeming the offer you have purchased - this is so that our partners can verify that the voucher is valid and provide you with the service advertised.
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+I can't use my voucher any more - can I give it to someone else?
Yes, your vouchers should be fully transferable (unless the terms of a specific offer state otherwise). So long as you haven't used part of your voucher, you can give it to a friend or family member. If you've had part of a treatment or service, you aren't able to give the voucher away though.
If a voucher has expired, it unfortunately can't be used by anyone.
Whenever you buy a voucher which needs a booking, always be sure to book well in advance of the expiry - the earlier the better. Just to make sure no one misses out, most vouchers will need to be booked between two and four weeks before their expiry.
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+Is Ouffer a secure site?
Ouffer is fully secured by Verisign, the highest level of security a website can have. All financial details are passed directly on to our merchant processor, so not even our staff have access to any credit card details.

+I want to speak to someone, who do I contact?
If you need our help for any reason, please don't hesitate to contact us at email@example.com so one of our Melbourne and Sydney based team can help you!
In order for us address your issue as quickly as possible, please try to include the following (where possible):
- The email address you have registered your account with
- Your voucher/redemption code
- The name of the service-provider/business for which you purchased your voucher
The above information will enable us to provide you with a much quicker response!
We like to try to reply to any enquiry as quickly as possible. Our support team are based in Sydney and Melbourne, working between 9.00am and 8.00pm AEST. If your contact us outside those hours, it may take us a bit longer to reply.
In the event that you have attempted to contact us and you haven't got a reply after 2 business day, it's possible that your email didn't make it through to us for some reason - we will never not reply to an email.
If this happens, please try to send another email from a different email address to firstname.lastname@example.com.

+My Password isn't working - What can I do?
If your password doesn't work, you can get a new one by clicking on the "Forgot Password" link underneath the login box.
You should get an automated email sent to you – if that doesn't work, it probably means your email account may be blocking our emails! First thing to do is to check your junk mail box and there should be an email in there. If there is, please add us as a safe sender.
If you can't find an email from us, just send us a quick email to email@example.com and our team will be able to help out and create a new password for you!

+What does the 'Mark as Used' Button do?
The 'Mark as Used' button allows you to move your used vouchers to the Used section. That way, you can check exactly what vouchers have yet to be used.
It's pretty handy when you've bought a few vouchers for one place but don't use them all at once. You can check your used vouchers by clicking on USED Vouchers and also, if you click Mark as Used by mistake, you can bring the voucher back by clicking on Mark as New – good as new!
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+What is credit, and how do I use it?
If you are using credits for your entire purchase, you won't need to enter any credit card details - you can just ignore the box.
If you are using credit for part of the purchase, you will need to use a credit card to 'top up' the purchase. For example, if you have $15 credit stored up, and you are buying something that costs $100, you would just need to pay the $85 top-up amount from your credit card or PayPal account.
Your credits will expire 365 days after they have been granted, although this doesn't apply to specific promotions which state otherwise.
Your credit is personal to you, so you can't give it away - but you can buy a voucher for someone as a gift using your credit.
If you look at your bank statement right after a purchase, you may notice more than one charge on there (usually, there will be the full amount and the amount less the credit on your statement).
That is an unfortunate requirement of the banks – we haven't really charged you twice! The charge you noticed for the full amount is what banks call a 'pre-authorisation'. Ouffer doesn't actually charge anything until after the deal closes – the pre-authorisation is just a hold on those funds.
When our system goes to charge you, it will see that you are using credit and will adjust the cost accordingly. The original 'pre-authorisation' will 'drop off' within one to five business days (depending on which bank you're with).
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+Why have I been charged twice?
If there are two charges on your statement, it is most likely that the first is a 'pre-authorisation', rather than an actual charge. The 'pre-authorisation' will be removed by your bank between one to five business days (depending on which bank you use for your credit card).
If you noticed that you actually bought more vouchers than you intended, please contact us at email@example.com immediately. So long as Ouffer is told promptly, we can usually credit or refund the mistakenly bought vouchers (but that will depend on how quickly we've been notified and if any bank or administration fees have been incurred).
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+Who can I contact for help?
If you need assistance and can't find an answer on this page, you can find a link to our Contact Us Form below.
If the Contact Us form isn't working, you can get in touch with us at email@example.com - but, if you can, please use the Contact Us Form - this will help us better understand what you need so we can get back to you quicker!
While we do whatever we can to get back to you as quick as we can, please allow between 1-2 working days for a reply.
