Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Earthwatchers investigated how rehabilitation of mangrove forests can slow erosion and support marine life in Gazi Bay, Kenya.
How would you prefer us to contact you?
By EmailBy Phone
Earthwatch researchers and volunteers lived and worked with local villagers to help conduct pioneering plantation experiments to rehabilitate degraded mangroves in Gazi Bay, Kenya.
Mangrove forests are among the most productive wetland ecosystems on Earth. These tropical coastal woodlands provide crucial habitat, protect coral reefs from sedimentation, and, as demonstrated by the tsunami of 2004, play a critical role in protecting tropical coastlines. They are also one of the most threatened habitats. Historically, mangrove forests lined three-quarters of all tropical and subtropical coasts. Today, less than half of these forests remain, and an estimated 2 percent more are degraded each year for firewood, building materials, coastal development, and industrial shrimp fisheries.
Earthwatch researchers and volunteers lived and worked with local villagers to help conduct pioneering plantation experiments to rehabilitate degraded mangroves in Gazi Bay, Kenya. In addition to planting mangrove seedlings on our two beach sites, they helped monitor the effects of these plantations on rates of beach erosion and on the animals dependent on them. The results benefitted the local fishing community, which relies on mangrove forests for wood products and fish habitat. They also contributed to global efforts to restore dwindling mangrove forests and combat the effects of rising sea levels.
Despite their importance, mangroves suffer one of the fastest rates of destruction of any habitat.
Fast-disappearing mangrove forests are key to the survival of coastal communities.
Mangrove forests provide coastal protection from storms and tsunamis, woodland resources, wildlife habitat, and carbon storage. Despite their importance, mangroves suffer one of the fastest rates of destruction of any habitat; over the past 50 years, approximately one-third of the world's original mangrove forests have been lost. This has serious implications for local communities, which not only benefit from the woodland resources mangroves supply, but are also reliant on the fish that use the mangroves as nursery habitats and on the protection that they provide to coastlines in times of severe weather events. Hence the conservation and rehabilitation of mangroves is a global conservation priority.
Understanding mangrove ecology and restoration is an international conservation priority.
The Managing Mangroves and Capturing Carbon in Kenyan Communities project ran long-term, large-scale experiments that measured a range of ecosystem functions in replanted mangrove stands, and recorded data on which species survive and grow best in the harsh conditions of these restoration sites. This information was used to help with restoration efforts.
Gazi Bay, in the Kwale district of Kenya, is located 34 miles (55 kilometers) south of Mombasa. The bay is sheltered from the sea by the Chale Peninsula to the east and a fringing coral reef to the south. The reef supports a local subsistence and commercial fishery. Gazi Bay is bordered by 2.4 square miles (6.2 square kilometers) of mangrove forests, which are heavily used by local people as a fishing ground and a source of wood for building and fuel.
The bay area has beautiful beaches and impressive bird life, including three species of bee-eater, pelicans, palm vultures, and hornbills. It is near a black and white colobus monkey reserve, the tourist resort of Diani Beach, the Shimba Hills National Park, and the Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park (with dolphins, sea turtles, and spectacular coral reef snorkeling). There are also many sites of historical interest on the coast.
This is a summary:
Volunteers were given lectures and onsite training that included a brief introduction to the field of biodiversity research; a guided tour around the village; a discussion of mangrove ecology and physiology; training in how to measure physical and chemical variables such as sediment size and greenhouse gas fluxes; a practical session on mangrove reforestation and nursery establishment; an introduction to mangrove species, their specific adaptations, and their influence on mangrove ecosystem function; and a brief overview of the carbon cycle, climate change, and the potential of mangroves for carbon sequestration.
The project work consisted of four main activities: planting trees as part of studies and/or for general conservation and restoration purposes; monitoring the experimental stands already established to measure how the trees were growing and surviving and how the restored habitat patches were developing; conducting a range of different but related experiments, for example, measuring the amount of carbon deposited below ground by different species of trees; and working on aspects of the project related to social development and community involvement, such as helping to survey local opinion or organize educational events for local schoolchildren.
Other organized activities included a soccer match with the local school, a trip to a local bar and dance-hall, and presentations by volunteers. Unorganized activities included reading, bird-watching, walking on the beach, and trips to the town.
Volunteers received practical training in mangrove restoration and management.

Camp consists of several simple buildings erected on a large clearing in Budongo Forest. You'll stay in a single room that contains a bed, beddings, mosquito net, reading desk and a chair. All rooms are connected to solar electricity. There are three pit latrines on site which are shared by all. You'll have access to a warm shower, every evening after a long day's work. Water used at camp is harvested off the roofs or taken from the Sonso River so frugal use is necessary.
Evening meals are prepared by cooks who will prepare dishes including rice, chapati, potatoes, spaghetti, beans, beef, fish, ground nuts (peanuts), cow peas, assorted fresh vegetables and fruits, eggs. There are other local foods such as cassava, stewed bananas (locally known as matooke) and maize bread (locally known as ugali or posho). Breakfast will be western style.

Crusaders face large task against big, physical Spartans
By Michael Osipoff 648-3137 or email@example.com March 20, 2013 7:12PM
Article Extras
Updated: April 22, 2013 12:23PM
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Erik Buggs paused. He took a moment, thoughtfully considered the question.
Had Valparaiso played any team with similar size to Michigan State's?
The Crusaders' senior point guard referenced Detroit from last season, with Eli Holman and LaMarcus Lowe, both listed at 6-foot-10.
"You really don't know what to expect with this type of matchup until you get into the game," Buggs said. "Coach Bryce (Drew) and the rest of the staff, they'll make sure we're really prepared. The biggest thing we'll have to do is make sure we hit the boards really tough, because with a team that big, if you give them too many second chances, they can eat you alive."
The No. 3 seed Spartans' interior presence could present the greatest concern for the No. 14 Crusaders when the teams meet in the NCAA Tournament's Round of 64 on Thursday at The Palace of Auburn Hills. Adreian Payne (10.4 points, 7.5 rebounds), a 6-foot-10 junior, has enjoyed a breakout season that included making the All-Big Ten second team, developing into an inside-outside threat. And 6-9 senior Derrick Nix (9.5, 6.2) is a behemoth down low.
"Not to their magnitude, no," Drew said when a similar question was posed to him. "Some teams in conference might have similar height. But nothing like that, with four projected (NBA) draft picks in the next two years (Payne, Gary Harris, Branden Dawson, Keith Appling). We have not faced anything like that this year.
"They're not only tall, but they're physical, and they move really well. Nix has great balance, he has really good feet. And Payne's just a sensational athlete and extremely long. Obviously, those are big challenges that we're going to have to overcome."
Kevin Van Wijk has embraced the challenge of battling Nix.
"Obviously, he's a great player, a physical player," Van Wijk said. "He's shown great basketball throughout the years that he's been playing. … I'm really looking forward to playing against him, and it's going to be a great matchup."
The Crusaders (26-7), of course, essentially employ four perimeter players, with one post player in Van Wijk, with Bobby Capobianco their lone big off the bench who has been part of their eight-man rotation. So their smaller lineup could create matchup problems on the other end for ninth-ranked Michigan State (25-8) — though the Spartans don't lack for guards/wings either, with players such as all-conference point guard Appling (13.6 points, 3.5 assists), Big Ten Freshman of the Year Harris (12.9 points) and Lew Wallace graduate Dawson (9.4 points, 6.0 rebounds).
"They can play different ways," Drew said. "We've seen them play the two bigs, we've seen them play only one with four more perimeter players. So we know they're very versatile. It will matter — if they're really hurting us, we might have to go bigger to try to rebound and try to stay with them. But that's what makes it exciting, is you never know until you get out there and see how the game's going.
"They can beat you in so many different ways — they can beat you on the perimeter, they can beat you inside, they can beat you on defense, they can beat you on the boards, they can beat you in transition. There's so many different factors. It's not really one or two that, hey, if we do this, we have a great chance. It's a collective effort, everyone across the board, trying to keep alive those different areas."
The Crusaders have caught the Spartans' attention with their style of play, their senior-laden team that is "hungry" not to play its last game, the coaching "legacy" of Drew, and their 16 wins in their last 18 games (since a Horizon League-opening loss to Loyola).
"When you look at that, that's scary," said Michigan State coach Tom Izzo, adding he anticipated the Crusaders could play some zone and likely will trap in the post in an attempt to combat the Spartans' size.
"We think we have to really stop their offense. … Efficient team, efficient offense. Trying to get a gauge on some teams they've played is a little harder, but at the same time, they played some quality people on the road and lost a few of those games, but showed up, showed up big-time."
Izzo also was complimentary toward Ryan Broekhoff, describing him as "a big-time player" who could succeed at a lot of schools. He noted that while Broekhoff typically doesn't post up, he praised the 6-7 senior's ability to grab a defensive rebound and lead the break like a guard.
"They have a four-man that at first I thought was like (Deshaun) Thomas from Ohio State," Izzo said of Broekhoff. "But he puts it on the floor and moves a lot differently; Thomas doesn't do those things. This kid is actually more effective in that way, yet he scores and shoots it at a very high level."
Payne, as well as Dawson, could be Michigan State's primary defenders against Broekhoff.
"He's a great shooter, he goes both ways," Payne said. "He's got a quick trigger like Thomas, and he puts it on the floor going both ways like (Indiana's Christian) Watford. So he's going to be a tough cover. I'm just going to have to buckle down and get ready to trail these pindowns."
Broekhoff was expecting the usual broad focus from the opponent, ranging from bigger, more physical players to more athletic, quicker players; centers through point guards have draw the assignment against him.
"We might not be the biggest team in America, but we play hard and we're physical, and we leave it all out on the court," Broekhoff said.

The game looks like it adds some great new ideas to roleplaying. I am only guessing, but from the look of the action card (which appears to be more of a flash-card quick reference than a "kewl power" card), the dice pool is determined by a combo of ability and some X factors. Roll your pool, and interpret the results. So, you need two "hammers" to hit, 3 gives you a damage boost, and other options are available based on what you roll.
This seems to open up a lot of interpretive freedom for the GM and players to describe the action. It isn't needed per se, but I think it has lots of potential to add a spark to the game. In particular it may be an innovative way to get new players over the "I hit for 5 damage" and into more descriptive narration.
If your pool tells you how many "hammer" dice you get to roll etc., then this is an interesting system that gets away from traditional numeric dice. There is nothing wrong with improving or innovating the "game" portion of an RPG. Hell, the roleplaying aspect is completely independent of system anyway. In fact, the game portion of 2nd edition was its weakest element.
Too bad so much negativity comes with the announcement. I see a lot of evidence of poor reading comprehension, and unfounded accusations. (Board game, only 4 players, not a roleplaying game, etc. what a load of crap.) Hopefully GenCon will bring some more elucidation from attendees that get to see the game.

Michelle Offsie was a valuable member of the Edison Community who lost her battle to breast cancer. We continue to celebrate the life of Michelle Offsie through this memorial walk and continue to raise much needed awareness and funds to find a cure for breast cancer.

Bears GM Phil Emery happy with his first first-round pick, Shea McClellin
BY ADAM L. JAHNS email@example.com January 2, 2013 8:58PM
Rookie Shea McClellin impressed general manager Phil Emery with his ability to disrupt the passer. | Getty Images
Updated: February 4, 2013 2:59PM
Say what you want about Shea McClellin's rookie season. Bears general manager Phil Emery considers his first first-round pick a success so far.
Just watch the game from Dec. 2 against the Seattle Seahawks.
"You will see everything that Shea can do as a football player," Emery said. "I know he's been criticized that he wasn't good enough at the point of attack. He had three tackles at the point of the attack, going through blocks.
"He had chase tackles. He was used as a spy. He caused two disruptions on the throw as a spy. He dropped in coverage with [receiver] Doug Baldwin 20 yards up the field.
"There's not a whole lot he can't do. So when I said in the spring that this is a very versatile player, that's what I meant."
But don't expect McClellin to replace middle linebacker Brian Urlacher just yet, even though he's open to it.
"He'd probably tell you he could play about anything. The guy loves football," Emery said. "It will depend on the [new] staff and the circumstance. I still see him as a [defensive] end."
Still, McClellin's versatility and Urlacher's uncertain future have led to speculation that the Bears might be open to switching from former coach Lovie Smith's cover-2 scheme to a 3-4 defense.
Emery said he doesn't have a preference but added the Bears have "4-3 personnel." His new coach will have to be very persuasive to convince him otherwise.
"For somebody to move from 4-3 to 3-4, they're going to have to convince me that we have the players with the skill sets and the body types to move towards that defense," Emery said. "A lot of people in this league are running one-gap systems and calling it a 3-4 front. What we ran in Kansas City was a 3-4 with a two-gap [system], three down linemen, big nose tackle, big ends. We don't have those people [on the Bears]."
Emery said the Bears drafted McClellin with the 19th pick to fill a need at defensive end and "to immediately upgrade our raw mix and our rotation."
"In our scheme, rotation is what it is all about," he said.
To evaluate McClellin's rookie season, Emery compared him to other pass rushers taken in the first round: the Seahawks' Bruce Irvin (15th pick), the New York Jets' Quinton Coples (16th) and the New England Patriots' Chandler Jones (21st).
Emery liked what he saw regarding McClellin's ability to disrupt the passer, especially compared to Jones and considering McClellin missed time with a concussion and a knee injury. Emery said the Bears averaged 9.5 disruptions when McClellin played and 6.5 when he was out.
"Chandler played 66 percent of their reps," Emery said. "Shea played 38, 37, 34 percent of the reps. Shea's disruption rate is 3.97. Chandler's is 4.10. There's a .13 difference between those two individuals.
"Now what becomes important is, do I feel like Shea's got the motor, the athletic ability, the savvy to be a good starting player in the NFL? Yes, I do."

Nelson Muntz.
America's favorite serial killer:
Betty White as Elka on Hot In Cleveland, all of the actresses are good but without her the show would not work. The episode with her and Mary Tyler Moore in jail together is priceless. TV legends that are still as funny as they were forty years ago. They have the best classic TV guests ever on almost every week. It is so nice to see them, Carl Reiner, Don Rickles, Dick Van Patten, Melanie Griffith, John Schnieder who is still one hot as hell Duke boy, Huey Lewis, Susan Lucci, Tim Conway and that isn't even a good start to how many there have been. It is a shame that all of the other Golder Girls have passed on as they would have made for some amazing guest spots and you know they would have so done it for ratings and nostalgia it would have been unbeatable.
The cast of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Not a bad one in the bunch.

Eternal youth and endless life. I'll sacrifice everything and everyone to obtain it
Lucy Ricardo... 'nough said
Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I know a lot of people who have watched that show hate her for being a whiny bitch but I think she's totally entitled to most of the breakdowns she has on that show.
She never chose to be what she is, her wish is to be a normal girl but that is something that will never happen for her. She even died and went to heaven but was brought back to her calling by her best friends. In the end she accepts her place in life and never backs down from it. IMO, a person in that position is entitled to bitch about it every now and then.
nothing is ever really forgotten
I can't believe I totally forgot the best, most interesting, most compelling gay character to ever exist on tv, Jack from the show "Kings" (no, you've probably never heard of it, there's a reason why it got cancelled )
Oh yes, I forgot Liz Lemon! That girl is an icky genius! I never stop smiling when I see her. Tina Fey's my goddess, my bitch!
Also Danny Baker from the same show (I absolutely love Cheyenne Jackson - he's truly a scene stealer! )
Also, Sheila Jackson from Shameless US. She's so psychotic it's funny when it shouldn't be.
come now, my child. if we were planning to harm you, do you think
we'd be lurking here beside the path in the darkest part of the forest?
I'll just assume you meant to say "as The Doctor!"
I love Matt Smith, as the Eleventh.
I ADORE River Song, she's possibly my favorite secondary character ever.
Buffy, really loved her.
Angel... I adored him, and wanted to give him kisses.
Kara Thrace - StarBuck
Laura Roslin - President Of The Colonies
Admiral Adama - Captain of The Battlestar Galactica.
[only the re-imgained series! ]
There's very few characters I didn't like on that show, cept for Cheif, Kali, and the Presidents BITCH assistent.
There's too many for me to list.
Bill Moyers.
The world never changes if you're forever "minding my own business".
The mindset that no one knows you're gay because you haven't told them,
is like the dog that thinks you don't see him stealing the steak because he avoids your glance.
Staying in the closet is like continuing to sit in the back of the bus.
It's accepting that it's wrong to be who you are.
Mels. She appeared for like 1.5 nanoseconds but it was one of the best 1.5 nanoseconds in Doctor Who universe.
Rory. Best sidekick/boyfriend/gladiator ever!
Dr. River Song reporting to fierce up your life.
Donna. Words fail to describe my love for her.
And of course, Her Highness Lumpy Space Princess, from the Adventures of Finn and Jake!
Gary from Alphas cracks me up.

Not only have I heard of it. I tried to watch it every week. I think the show was a little too cerebral for the highly sophisticated American audience. Compelling? An interesting word choice. I seem to make it a habit of latching on to shows that get cancelled. Reason? Low ratings, probably.
ummmm cartman from southpark?
Mini McGuinness from Skins 3rd Gen
Although she started as a queen bitch, I love her when I saw her insecurities.
Olivia Dunham from Fringe: big sister.
Walter Bishop from Fringe: future self.
Green Arrow in Smallville. Justin Hartley is all that and then some for me!!
I've heard of it and watched it On Demand every week. It's definitely not your typical 9:00 show but i liked it. I am surprised it didn't take off as it is heavily drawn on King David and his folklore from the Bible. The production was superb, the sets didn't look cheesy, and the acting was good. I definitely didn't see Jack coming out as gay but it's just one example of how unpredictable but not convoluted like Lost this show was.
The Doctor - David Tennant (My lonely angel, I like Matt but David is my Doctor!)
Rose Tyler - Billie Piper (I lived through her during 2005 and 2006)
Donna Noble - Catherine Tate (Especially during Season 4, funny, cool and just awesome.)
Martha Jones - Freema Agyema (Grew to like her especially appearing in Torchwood and Season 4 of Doctor Wh.o)
Sarah Jane Smith - Elisabeth Sladen (Have been enjoying her on SJA & DW.)
Merlin - Colin Morgan (Cute, nebbish and funny, he was on DW Series 4)
Arthur - Bradley James (God this guy is hot, has anyone seen his hairy chest "drool")
Robin of Locksley - Jonas Armstrong (Cute Robin, nice everything, I did not like hm much in Series 3, but I still love him)
Sir. Guy of Gisborne - Richard Armitage (MY FANTASY HUSBAND "Watch North & South" If I had a vagina, I'd be wet all the time watching him.)
Dean & Sam Winchester - (I love Dean moreso but I loved Sam from the earlier seasons.)
Fox Mulder - David Duchovny (I miss Mulder already but Sam and Dean are kinda of filling in his place until he returns to form.)
Dana Scully - Gillian Anderson (Just cool to watch, awesome as Scully in earlier seasons, hope to see her again someday.)
Laura Roslin BSG - Mary Mcdonnel (I VOTED FOR ROSLIN!)
Col. Adama BSG - (I didn't like him at the start but he grew on me and have a deep respect for Edward James Olmos for it.)
George from Being Human - Russel Tovey (He is very cute, it helps that he is naked alot. He too appeared in DW in Series 4.)
Dr. Daniel Jackson - Michael Shanks (My fantasy lover, a sexy nerd although I think he got too buff in later seasons, losing his nerdiness a tad.)
Samantha Carter - Amanda Tapping (Great character from the outset of the show)
John Chricton - Ben Browder (Everything about him is awesome, I have the boxset and I COMPLETELY LOVE HIM! DO YOU HEAR ME... Aeryn can keep the other Chricton, I'll take the other.)
The Golden Girls - (I can't choose among them, they each fill a certain trait in me that I recognize from time to time) Fuck that sounds so gay!
so many others... I am a loving person.
Yes, I love Joan! She is my favorite character in the history of TV, I relate to her neuroticism so much.
^ OMG, Ram educate yourself by watching Joanie in her finest moment (around the 2:00 mark).
"But no, I had to go and meet YOU. And you wanted to go this great little Moroccan place four times a week and my crazy ass said 'Sure, I love Moroccan food' when everybody knows that I HATE MOROCCAN FOOD!"
-What the hell are you talking about?
"I am talking about how I am sitting there on that stupid pillow, just propped up eating with my hands when I should have been training for the damn marathon. I am talking about how I just give and give and give and you just TAKE AND TAKE AND TAKE!"
^That exchange cemented Joan's status as the ultimate female equivalent of me. lol
Some of my other faves:
Uncle Ruckus from The Boondocks
"They smell like lemon juice and Pledge furniture cleaner."
Another hopeless spaz I relate to, Jackie from Roseanne
HE'S FINE, he sends his love.
I swear I have never heard of that show. I love her already.
Dr. Jennifer Melfi-The Sopranos: An extremely strong woman who unlike many people is willing to stand up to the main character/aggressor of the show (Tony Sopranos). Even after being sexually assaulted, she remains mostly levelheaded and falls apart only momentarily.
Nancy Botwin-Weeds: She's a rather realistic character who makes decisions as real people do, yet she stands by her family at all times without abandoning them. She's reckless and rather 'weaselly' and for that, I adore her completely.
There are plenty more. I'll probably be coming back to this thread a few more times, haha.
Tasha Mack from the The Game.. LOVE HER!!!
(the one on the end)
Maggie from Extras.
Kenneth and Jack and Levin and Dr. Spaceman and Liz and Jenna from 30 Rock.
Elaine from Seinfeld.
Kara Thrace (Starbuck) from Battlestar Galactica
Not because she's such a bad-ass, but because she's actually a really damaged character and has to go through this huge journey and un-do pretty much everything about herself.
I love Spencer, the brainiac on Criminal Minds, played by the adorable Matthew Gray Gubler.
Lol, the need to see him on a weekly basis, FINALLY got me watching Smallville...after like 8 seasons.
I'm LOVING Happy Endings' Penny and Max!!!
David Fisher (Six Feet Under)
Maggie Gioberti (Falcon Crest)
Dorothy (Golden Girls)
-From Dexter: Both Dexter and Debra Morgan
-From the Big C: Kathy and Andrea Jackson
-From Weeds: LOVE all the Botwins esp. Nancy. Also a shame Heallyuh and Conrad were taken off the show because they were great too
-From Parks and Recreation: Ron Swanson and Amy Phoeler and Aziz Ansari
-From 30 Rock: Liz Lemon and Jack Danaughy
- From Lost: Jack Sheapard[so hot!], LOVED Hurley, Kate and Juliete Burke [fertility doctor], Sawyer was cool too.
-The Office:Michael Pam and Jim, but almost the whole cast minus a few loose ends
and last but not least my favorite character of TV history
Pheobe Buffet from FRIENDS! She is hysterical definitely one of my favorite characters

Monthly: First Hopper free, second Hopper $7. Each Joey is also $7 monthly.What would the additional monthly fees be for that? lol Directv charges me $6 a month for the lease fee (Which is actually free), and $10 for Whole Home DVR. Plus can the Hoppers communicate with each other (MRV)?
Currently Hoppers cannot talk to each other but they will be able to "soon".
An account with a Hopper is charged the $6 per account DVR fee plus a $4 Whole Home DVR fee ... so an account with two Hoppers would be $17 (plus $7 for each Joey). Plus the cost of the base package and any channels/premiums one wants to subscribe to.

Observations on British and American English
by an American linguist in the UK
England and America are two countries separated by a common language.

BrE = British English
AmE = American English

pickles, pickle, rutabaga and ??
But I've also found that my 20-something-year-old students can be fairly insensitive to dialectal differences coming from me. I recently asked them to read a draft chapter of a textbook I'm writing, and to let me know if they came across any examples that didn't work for British English. Many of them pointed out American spellings--even though I'd explicitly told them not to. (Instruction-following is a skill that's unevenly acquired among my students!) Only one out of about thirty students noticed a glaring Americanism that was repeated several times in the chapter: the use of pickle as a count noun.
In the US a pickle is a cucumber that's been pickled, but in the UK such things are called dill cucumbers or, if they're not dill, pickled cucumbers. If you are American and like dill pickles, don't bother buying English ones, even if the bottle says kosher dills. They are all made with sugar and taste more like what I would call sweet pickles than like a good deli pickle. Some specialty shops sell decent, non-sweet ones imported from Poland or Israel.
In the UK, pickle, also known as sweet pickle, is a condiment made of chopped vegetables and fruits pickled in vinegar and sugar or other sweet ingredient. Click here for a recipe for pumpkin pickle.
The most popular pickle in the UK is Branston pickle. If you're offered a cheese and pickle sandwich, it's probably got Branston pickle in it. The thing that I find most fascinating about Branston pickle is its list of ingredients:
Vegetables in various proportions (Carrots, Rutabaga, Onions, Cauliflower, Marrows, Gherkins), Sugar, Malt Vinegar - from Barley, Spirit Vinegar, Salt, Chopped Dates (with Rice Flour), Apples (with Preservative: Sulphur Dioxide), Modified Maize Starch, Tomato Paste, Colour: Sulphite Ammonia Caramel, Spices, Concentrated Lemon Juice, Onion Powder, Garlic Extract.
You can see a number of BrE terms here: Spirit Vinegar (US: White Vinegar), Marrow (a type of squash that's not common in the US), Maize (US: Corn).
You can also see a number of BrE spellings: Sulphur/Sulphite as opposed to US Sulfur/Sulfite, and Colour, of course.
But which of these things is not like the other? It's rutabaga! One of the great mysteries of life (which was later solved!) is why an British product made in a British factory for British consumers has an altogether American word like rutabaga on its label.
Every year I run a pub quiz for our incoming Linguistics/English Language students and (despite the fact that the word is on a jar in most English kitchens) a question that always stumps them is "What is the British word for the vegetable that Americans call rutabaga?"
Do you know?
Click the link below for 'comments' to get the answer and some etymological info about rutabaga.

British English for rutabaga is swede.
Rutabagas/swedes aren't eaten half as much in the US as in the UK, where they are often part of Sunday lunch.
There's a link between the BrE name and the AmE name for this turnip: the AmE word comes from an old Swedish dialect word for this vegetable--so presumably this was a vegetable that came to English/American plates from Sweden. These days, the word rutabaga is unknown to most Swedes (but not swedes!). The Swedish word is kålrot--literally 'cabbage root'. - 06 June, 2006 00:17
It seems in America there is an element unknown to the rest of the world. Its name is said "a loo min umm" In much of the rest of the English speaking world this deficit is made up for by a much tastier metal called "Al, You mini yum". How did the first person singular come to be excised from "aluminium"?
Anyway, if I can call you Betty, you can call me Al. - 10 June, 2006 08:06
- lynneguist said...
I'm afraid you've got that backward. It was called aluminum before anyone called it aluminium. To quote the the International Aluminium Institute:
"In 1808 Sir Humphrey Davy proposed the name ALUMIUM for the metal. This rather unwieldy name was soon replaced by ALUMINUM and later the word ALUMINIUM was adopted by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists in order to conform with the "ium" ending of most elements. By the mid-1800s both spellings were in use, indeed Charles Dickens commented at the time that he felt both names were too difficult for the masses to pronounce!" - 10 June, 2006 23:48
Nothing like commenting half a year late, I know, but I just came across this wikipedia article on rutabagas, and now I'm more confused than ever (not really - but goodness!) and I remembered this post, so... here you go!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutabaga - 01 December, 2006 20:39
- Malcolm said...
The interesting problem with using the term swede is that it's just called "turnip" in Scotland (or, I suppose, neeps, but I've only heard that term used when they're mashed. Certainly in supermarkets they're "turnips")
Rutabaga might just be being used as a neutral term to avoid any north/south confusion - 30 April, 2008 12:01
- Johnny E said...
I think Anonymous is speaking a very different and yodful kind of BrE to my own if they honestly pronounce it as al-yoo-min-yum (as opposed to al-uh-MIN-yum). I can't imagine how you emphasise it, either: al-YOO-min-yum is pretty unwieldy, al-yoo-MIN-yum more so, and al-yoo-MIN-ee-um you could get lost in...
- 06 November, 2008 13:13
- Robert "Anaerin" Johnston said...
The way I understand it, The Br.E/Sc.E was originally "Swedish Turnip". Br.E shortened it to "Swede", and Sc.E (Having no other form of turnip) shortened it to "turnip", which then lost it's "tur" and extended it's I to become "Neep", in much the same way "Potatoes" became "Tatties"
As for the pronunciation of "Aluminium", I've heard it Al-yoo-min-ee-um, Al-yoo-min-yum, Al-yuh-min-yum and Al-uh-min-yum. I think dialect, accent and stress all play an important part - For instance if it is important to stress that it's an aluminium girder, rather than a steel one, the speaker may say "Al-you-min-ee-yum", to stress the point and give it more import.
I think Anonymous there was asking about where the "you" sound disappeared to in the Am.E version, as they all seem to pronounce it "Al-oo" rather than "Al-you".
And, for your Dill pickles, you might want to try looking for "Gherkins". - 03 April, 2011 00:10
- lynneguist said...
Thanks, R"A"J. As far as I've found, all British gherkins have sugar. This is an anathema to American dill pickle connoisseurs.
On the 'yoo' sound in alumin(i)um and other words, I've written this, if you're interested. - 03 April, 2011 00:15
You say tomato and I say tomato.

Pickle(s). What about chutney?
- 12 July, 2011 01:23
Nothing like commenting 6 years late on a post.
As the child of a Brit raised in America there are some glaringly obvious differences in language that seem only obvious to me. For example, in kindergarten, I was terrified when a friend told me that she wanted to pull someone's pants down, as I was unaware that she meant trousers, not underpants.
Also, many foods do have different names, whenever I went to the store with my Dad's shopping list the workers thought I was insane as it included things like "courgette" (zucchini), double cream (which isn't manufactured here), and aubergine (eggplant). I once came home with flour baked scones because he had written "biscuts", meaning cookies. - 20 May, 2012 19:30
- lynneguist said...
Dear Kathy,
Yep. there are entries for all of those elsewhere on the blog! :) - 21 May, 2012 21:18
- David Crosbie said...
the use of pickle as a count noun
It's possible in British English, but in the sense of 'messy situation':
Here's a pretty pickle!
I was really in a pickle
It goes without saying that a pickle can mean 'a type of pickle'. And we do consume pickles that are not sweet ─ if only in Indian restaurants, where pickles lack the sweetness of chutneys. (Mango pickle can be a real surprise if you're expecting mango chutney.)
There's also a relatively popular pickle called piccalilli which isn't sweet. As a child I was traumatised when I first saw its mustard yellow colour and its obvious cauliflower content, so I've never tasted it. - 02 November, 2013 02:56
- n0aaa said...
In New England (I love this stuff) they make something called Howard's Green Tomato Piccalilli (also a Red Pepper variety). Both are extremely sweet and good on just about anything. I go through periods of eating dill pickles, but I keep reverting to sweet chutneys and picalilly's (however spelled). When driving, we have to remember to stop and get a bunch before we cross the Vermont-New York line, headed west, because these are unknown west of here. (It's a long winter in Iowa if I forget to stop and get it. Meat and cheese sandwiches just aren't the same without it).

I'm from Middle Georgia, and I love rutabagas. My mother cooked them but not as often as, say, turnips. Pickles are sweet or dill. Some folks call sweet ones "bread and butter pickles."

Many people's energy has gone-knowingly or unknowingly-into creating this book, including Fred Anderson, Mark Beall, Caryn Diamond Bosson, Jon Earl, Jeri Eckhart, Katherine Gould-Martin, Mary Greenstein, Teri Hannigan, Margaret Pott Hartwell, Scott Hayman, Alex Pancheco, Phil Porush, Ellie Rosenthal, Murray Rosenthal; Rick Ryan, Walter Teller, Joseph Turner, Lorna Weinheimer, and David Winkelman. Thanks also to TreePeople's former, current, and future staff, board of directors, volunteers, and members, and countless others who have become so much a part of the fabric of TreePeople that there is no separation.
Thanks to Cor Trowbridge who almost lost her mind deciding what was technically correct for inclusion in Chapters 6 and 7, and to those urban-tree experts who guided her, including Alden Kelley, Phil Barker, Richard Harris, Clyde Hunt, Gary Moll, Paul Rogers, Rowan Rowntree, and Bob Skiera.
We extend our gratitude to California ReLeaf, the American Forestry Association's Global ReLeaf campaign, and a handful of imaginative urban foresters for feeding the roots, embracing the work, and holding the vision, and to Jeremy Tarcher, whose personal commitment to the empowerment of individuals made the publication of this book possible in an indecently short period of time.
To those who suffered while we wrote—parents, friends, staff, and Phoebe Lipkis—we ask your forgiveness. Yes, Phoebe, the book is now done.
Our congratulations to the dynamic Deborah Daly of Daly Design for a stupendous-looking book, and to Tarcher staff, including Robert Welsch, Daniel Malvin, Karen Kallis, and Paul Murphy, for patience and persistence.
The following deserve special mention as it is their financial support that has fed the development of TreePeople's Citizen Forester Training:
- The McKesson Foundation
- The men and women of McDonnell Douglas–West
- The Laird Norton Foundation

Heather's really got a hold on us. She's into beautiful women and Playboy. She dances naked while cranking '80s hair metal tunes. If we're lucky, we'll catch her straddling the seat of a four wheeler or her new motorcycle. Is this love that we're feeling?...
