Jobs reports differ greatly on job market

Filed under Features, Top Stories
Yesterday, The ADP National Employment Report showed an increase in private-sector employment of 201,000 from July to August. July's gain was also revised up from 163,000 to 173,000.
That blew past most economists' estimates for the month. According to a Bloomberg survey of 41 economists, the consensus for the ADP report was a gain of 140,000 jobs.
This morning, though, the Department of Labor came out with its numbers, painting a starkly different picture: a gain of only 96,000 jobs, well short of the consensus estimate of 130,000. (DOL numbers include both private and public sector employees.) That's after 141,000 jobs were added in July. The unemployment rate was basically flat at 8.1 percent.
According to the ADP report, the largest number of jobs was created in the service sector, with employment expanding by 185,000 in August, up from 156,000 in July. Employment in the private, goods-producing sector added 16,000 jobs in August. Manufacturing employment rose 3,000, following an increase of 6,000 in July.
Small businesses (those with up to 49 employees) created the most jobs with 99,000. Employment at medium-sized business (50 to 499 workers) rose 86,000 in August. Companies with 500 or more workers added 16,000 jobs.
The government reported the biggest job gains in food service (28,000), professional and technical services (27,000) and healthcare (17,000). The biggest losses were posted in manufacturing (-15,000), especially in the auto industry, which shed 8,000 jobs in August.

Agape Boarding School Reviews
Thank you AGAPE
Thank you for everything you have done for our son Pierluigi. He was a troubled boy, and we didn't know what to do with him. Discipline did no good and he would sneak his way out of it. I was searching the phone books and the internet and I'm so so happy God helped me find you that day.
After our visit at Agape, we saw in every staff person we met such love for all the boys there and the changes we saw in our son seemed like a miracle. So, again thank you to all who are involved in Pierluigi's life. what a difference it has made in our whole family, just seeing him as happy as he is.
In Christian love,
Fiorentino Family :)
Best option for our son during trying times
Thank you Agape Boarding School for taking care of our son. He was behind in school before he came there, and now he is signed up for his first college courses for next semester. Not only did he get to where he needed during his stay, but he excelled and graduated early. You have given him direction in his life, and he now knows what he wants to pursue. thanks again.
Thank you Agape
They say the Lord works in mysterious ways. I would never have guessed that sending my daughter away for a year, to a school in another state, would be the path to healing for our family. But God has given healing and so much more through the ministry of Agape. Everyone on staff at Agape loves God deeply and shows it by caring for tough teens like our daughter. We have prayed all her life for the young woman our daughter would become. Now God, through the work of Agape, has answered those prayers abundantly.
Low cost but great program
Pretty awesome campus. This is a well-designed program, but surprisingly low in cost.
Agape has been a wonderful place for my son as well as my family. The structured Christian environment was exactly what was needed. What a beautiful campus as well!
How could any loving parent give this horrible school a good review? It is abusive and reprehensible. My son was there and I'm ashamed to say I didn't know what was truely going on. So sorry. It took him years to get over but with Gods grace, he is a wonderful man today.
Our son had had some issues in school, as a child with adhd he struggled to keep his focus. While we didn't really want to send him away, when we started looking Agape Boarding school seemed like an obvious choice, and he liked it as well. NOw, just a year after he is doing well and adjusting perfectly, his grades have improved dramatically, as has his attitude and social skills
Among everything I learned at Agape Boarding School, the lesson I come back to every day is that God has a purpose for my life. I spent so much time wandering and wondering and feeling so lost. Now I know God has a plan for me, I feel confident instead of fearful about the future
A youth leader pointed me toward Agape Boarding School for our son, but I didn't think things could possibly be that bad. When I read the warning signs on the Agape Boarding School website and read about the kinds of kids they work with, I saw our son right there on that page. My eyes were finally opened. I'm thankful for the admissions counselors who talked me through the whole process. Our son has a world of opportunity opening up for him, all because the ministry of Agape Boarding School exists.
How can I capture in a few words all that Agape Boarding School has done for our son? He just finished a whirlwind senior year at Agape, full of rich friendships, sports, activities and strong grades. He would never have made it this far without all that the mentors and counselors at Agape Boarding School poured into his life.

My wife and I just visited our son at the first family weekend, and we're amazed at how much has changed so quickly! Our son is respectful and polite. He looked me in the eye when we spoke, and he opened doors for his mother. I know these are just signs of all that is happening in his heart. Keep up the good work, Agape!
Agape is one of the lowest cost teen programs that doesn't compromise on quality. I have been a staff at the program since 2005. Through a strict, structured atmosphere, genuine care and concern from staff, a first class campus and a founder who cares, we are able to help young men find the right path. The Christian environment, the absence of negative influences and the examples taught through the preaching of God's Word, have helped hundreds of young men get the foundation that they need. Many teens may not like going through the program but we are constantly hearing back from teens that got their life back on track and are enjoying a bright future because their parents chose Agape.
My son is currently enrolled at Agape Boarding School. His two and a half year addiction to drugs led him down a path of self-destruction that he could not control. Everything my husband and I tried failed, because he was still living in the same environment that kept drawing him back into his helpless addiction. My last hope was to remove him completely from the home that he had known all his life. That choice was by far the most heart breaking decision a mother and father can make. My son told me in one of our scheduled phone calls that he didn't think he would have ever stopped using drugs if we hadn't sent him there. When I explained to him how hard a decision it was for his Dad and I to make, he told me it was the best decision we had ever made. At that point I knew for sure that Agape Boarding School was the right choice for my son.
I have just returned from Agape for my first visit with my son in four months. And I have to say he is looking good, and is doing well in their program. I can say with out a doubt that Agape has literally saved my sons life. Thank you Agape staff for your vision and heart for lost boys.
Agape has been an amazing support for our family while our son resides there. The love they have for the boys is amazing, as well as the structure. We are so happy with our decision. While he may not be "happy" there, he is content. Most of all, everyone is safe. Thank you Agape for showing the love of Christ and loving our boy while we are far away.
We are a family who has been through such a trial with our son. Agape has been an incredible asset to helping him and us. Of course, he may not "say" he is happy, but we have confidence he is content. They are loving and strict. This is NECESSARY for any teenage boy. Thank you Agape
I grew up here at Agape Boarding School, I would not be where I am today if it was not for the loving staff, and the Knowledge in the Lord that turned my life around. What I love abou the school is that the staff there never gave up on me. They loved me and taught me about life. With a great education systems and high standareds this is the school to go too. As a student at the Agape you learn how to take ownership for your actions, to care for others and a chance to grow in the Lord. Agape goes out of its way to bring great teachers and preachers to there door to spread spiritual wisdom and knowledge. I have values because of Agape, I know who I am and what the Lord has called me to do because of the teachings at that Agape Boarding School. I miss the staff and friends that I have at the school and they will always be on my heart.
As a former student, I graduated from Agape' Boarding School in the year of 2010. During my time there, I learned a substantial amount of academics, character, culture, and spirituality through the dedicated staff members. Interestingly, I still find myself applying the very precepts and ideals I obtained there even today. All in all, Agape' Boarding School should be taken into consideration because of the vast opportunities Agape' provides to their students for enrichment.
I was a student at Agape`. The school helped me get my life back on track. The staff loved and cared about us, even when we bucked against everything they were trying to do to help us. The academics are top notch and their facility is first class. This school gave my life back to me. Thanks Agape`
I love the opportunity to work with these teenagers. Our hope and prayer is that each student leaves here prepared to be a good Christian, a hard worker, a good citizen, and re-establish relationships with their family. I love to hear from former students so if you are a former student reading this...give us a call at the school.

RENO, Nev. (AP) - The Washoe County School Board has agreed to
pay the new superintendent of schools at least $238,000 a year.

who takes over his new job on Aug. 1.
In addition to the base pay, the contract provides for
performance-based bonuses of up to nearly $24,000 each year. It's
similar to the contract that was held by his predecessor, Heath
Martinez also will receive a vehicle for his use, full health
and medical coverage for him and his family and a qualified
tax-sheltered annuity.
It will make him the second-highest paid superintendent in the
state, trailing only Clark County Superintendent Dwight Jones. His
base pay last year was $282,000.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Anthony Stinson, Jr., was walking outside of his family member's house when he was killed in a drive-by shooting Saturday afternoon.
"I'm hurting. I mean I am hurtting," Anthony Stinson, Sr. said. "But, God keeps me going."
Stinson, 20, was leaving his grandmother's house when he was shot multiple times by a shooter in a passing car, according to police.
"All I heard was shooting. When I got out of the door, he was on the ground," Connie Hicks, Stinson, Jr.'s grandmother told First Coast News. "He was a sweet baby."
The incident took place around 4:30 p.m. on the Northside near the intersection of 17th Street and Perry.
Stinson was transferred to UF Health Jacksonville where he later died from his injuries.
"I can't eat, I can't sleep. I (haven't) been in my bed since Friday night. It's just hurting me so bad," Hicks said.
A grey colored sedan was seen leaving the area but JSO is not sure how the vehicle may be involved.
Investigators have not tracked down any leads or witnesses to this crime and are asking for the public's help.
Elder Donald Foy, Chapter President of MAD DADS, said the family and MAD DADS met Thursday at the corner of 17th Street and Perry. They canvased the neighborhood, and passed out flyers hoping to get the community involved in helping to solve this case.
Stinson's father was profiled in First Coast News' "Hero Next Door" feature and is on a mission to restore peace in his neighborhood of Grand Park. He was chosen because of his work to encourage youth and bring an end to neighborhood violence.
"It will never change or stall the mission, because there are other people that need me," Anthony Jr.'s father told FCN. "That's my baby boy. Maybe, if I can save somebody else's baby boy, or somebody else's child so they don't have to go through what I'm going through."
Stinson, Sr. said he wants anyone who knows anything to step forward.
"To whoever done it, I hold no animosity, I forgive you. But, you're going to have to get dealt with with the Law," he explained.
When FCN checked with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office for the latest on the investigation, we were told authorities do not have any suspects. If you have any information regarding this incident, please contact First Coast Crimestoppers or 1-866-845-TIPS (8477).

FS 2013 155 Burton Process Camber, 2012 Burton Cartel EST L
1 Attachment(s)
I bought this board late 2012 and used it 5 times over the 2012/2013 season. I lost a ton of weight and the board became too big for me. It since has been sitting not being used. This board is a great all mountain and park board. I also have a pair of 2012 Burton Cartel Large bindings that i bought with the board, i broke one of the toe straps so they have union toe straps on them as that's all i had. I am just looking to get some money for this setup. I am hoping to get around 200 for board and close to 100 for the bindings, but i can go below that if there are offers. I also am willing to sell bindings or board separate from each other if you just prefer to have one or the other. Because the bindings have non Burton Toe straps i am willing to sell them for cheaper so that the buyer can purchase the Burton toe straps online if they prefer the standard toe straps, they are around 40 dollars i think. I honestly am looking to get quick money so i will likely accept most offers. If you are interested in buying anything i can send you more photos. I will pay shipping, or if you are in the Bay Area/Sacramento we can meet up.
i know this is an old post but are the bindings still for sale?

text: SUMMER 2013 MICHIGAN CHAPTER MS CONNECTION NEWSLETTER REAL ESTATE ONE GETS BEHIND FATHER'S FIGHT AGAINST MS BY SH AW N W R IGHT When Steve Katsaros' daughter, Dianna Darling, was diagnosed 10 years ago with multiple sclerosis, a myriad of thoughts went through his head. STEVE KATSAROS AND HIS DAUGHTER DIANNA DARLING AT BIKE MS, 2011 "When something like that happens, it's an eyeopener for everybody," Katsaros said. "In our family, we don't have any history of MS. We've had a very close friend who was diagnosed with MS who went to the same church as us. (But) all you have is a visual of this person that as she went through life got progressively worse. She has been in a wheelchair for the last 20 years." "That's the mental stigma you have, especially when you don't know - so many people don't know the effect of the disease and the ramifications." Darling, 34, made it a priority to not let the diagnosis slow her down. "It's part of me being a little, stubborn Greek girl. That's just how I've always been," Darling said. "The words 'no' or 'I can't handle or do it' hasn't been acceptable. I knew that I would be worse if I went into the 'woe is me' stage."

After reports that Januvia, a drug taken by type 2 diabetics, is responsible for adverse side effects among them the development of pancreatic cancer, many individuals who have been affected are seeking legal advice on how to proceed filing a januvia cancer lawsuit. It is very unfortunate that while seeking for medication, diabetics end up acquiring even more serious ailments. This explains why Januvia has been reported to cause more harm than good to many patients and many still wonder why the drug has not been recalled.
If you or a family member is interested in filing a januvia cancer lawsuit, then here is some basic information you may need to know. For starters, even with the rising cases of januvia cancer pancreatic, there is no class action that has ever been taken. Many individuals are filing the januvia cancer lawsuit solely. You must remember that there is an expiry period in which you can file the januvia cancer lawsuit claim.
If you have ever used the drug you want to file a lawsuit on behalf of someone who has used it, the first you should do is to contact a januvia lawsuit cancer website and get free legal advice regarding the situation at hand. This prior legal advice is very critical, as it is what determines the success of the case and whether the entire process is worth the time and effort.
There are numerous januvia lawsuit attorneys who can help you out online. Locating the best januvia lawsuit attorneys is important not only because you will get the best representation but also to increase your chances of getting a high compensation from the pharmaceutical company. Januvia lawsuit attorneys are perfectly in that area so avoid looking for general lawyers who might not have any experience in representing januvia cancer pancreatic victims.
When it comes to compensation, the amount will be dependent on the level of injury, pain and suffering and how all these have affected your livelihood. Your januvia lawsuit attorneys will help you in collecting the right form of evidence in terms of medical reports and the like, to help you secure the necessary compensation. Remember that, lawyers can quantify pain and suffering and help you recover from it. Proper hospitalization is a must for pancreatitis patients. For this reason the manufacturer must be liable to provide the best form of treatment to patients who have suffered as a result of using Januvia.
You also need to know that januvia lawsuit attorneys are usually compensated in different manners. Find out if your lawyer is working on contingency fee basis. This is very convenient since if the januvia cancer pancreatic case is not won at trial, then you are not entitled to pay any form of legal fees. However, depending on your state of residence, you might be eligible to pay some expenses. To avoid paying hefty legal fees, ensure that you perform proper research on the legal counsel you are seeking bearing in mind a good track record.

Largo, Florida-- Investigators were back searching the Largo home of Ronald Brown Thursday evening. They seized multiple boxes and bags of evidence.
Agents with Homeland Security Investigations, and law enforcement with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office and Largo Police spent hours at the home along the 7500 block of 142nd Avenue North in the Whispering Pines mobile home park.
HSI authorities said in a statement that this second search is "due to the disturbing and troubling allegations."
Brown, a puppeteer, was arrested for child pornography and conspiring to kidnap a child.
According to federal investigators, the 57-year-old had a graphic online chat about kidnapping, sexually abusing, murdering, and eating children.
Brown, who ran a business called Puppets Plus, performed at malls, churches, and even schools.
According to federal investigators, Brown is one of six people arrested in a national child porn probe.
The investigation continues.

After Tiananmen
Survivors of the crackdown take a new direction.
Jun 14, 2010, Vol. 15, No. 37 • By DAVID AIKMAN
Another of the 21 "most wanted," No. 5, Zhou Fengsuo, a financial analyst based in San Francisco who became a Christian in the 1990s, agrees. "In 1989 there was a lot of bitterness," he says. "There was no hope. Chai Ling is so hungry for the truth. She has found her cause."
And a definite sense of peace. A nanny for her children told a visitor that, since becoming a Christian, she has been a much kinder person. Oh yes, and as a new Christian she felt she should drop her lawsuit over the TV documentary.
David Aikman reported for Time for 23 years. He is the author of Jesus in Beijing: How Christianity Is Transforming China and Changing the Global Balance of Power.

Marketing Resources
Are You Up For the Challenge?
By Christine Dubyts, Dubyts Communications
Looking for a way to get people to interact with your brand, get some buzz and boost goodwill? Then put out a Challenge!
Activia is doing it with their two week challenge: Eat Activia for two weeks for better digestive health. Special K is doing it with their 10,0000 Steps-a-Day Challenge: Free step counter in every box of Special K. And Winnipeg's own, Deb Dawson-Dunn of, Get it Dunn, is doing it with her 100-Day Challenge: You get to choose your challenge!
Putting out a Challenge is an awesome marketing tactic for a number of reasons:
1. It raises awareness of your brand.
2. It gets participants to interact with your brand, which is so important in marketing today!
3. It creates a buzz about your brand for the duration of the Challenge and sometimes beyond.
4. It boosts goodwill. The Challenge typically provides a benefit to the "challenger" so they feel good about the brand, AND the brand is doing something "good" for their customers. Its win-win! In the case of Activia, they are promoting better digestive health. With Special K, its improved fitness. The 100-Day Challenge by Get It Dunn is a "choose your own challenge," so you choose the benefit.
5. And, in most cases the Challenge even increases sales! Customers are buying the product as part of their participation in the Challenge. The ultimate goal by the brand of course is that the customer will turn the Challenge into a habit (it takes 28 days to form a habit), and will continue to buy the product after the Challenge is over.
Get it Dunn, one of our clients, put out the 100-Day Challenge 3-weeks ago and I jumped on board, vowing to drink 8 - 8 oz glasses of water every day for 100 days. I in turn put out the Challenge to people in our office. Not only are we challenging ourselves. We've got a fun office activity going on to get us through the winter.
Putting out a Challenge is a great idea, but not appropriate for all businesses. If you decide it's a good compliment to your marketing mix make sure you consider all the details and logistics so it provides a positive and lasting impact for your business.

Eight organisations including councils and a police authority in Gwent, Wales, have signed up to a shared service public sector network (PSN).
The participants, which comprise Aneurin Bevan Health Board, Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council, Caerphilly County Borough Council, Coleg Gwent, Gwent Police Authority, Monmouthshire County Council, Newport City Council and Torfaen County Borough Council, have all worked together to jointly design and develop the Gwent Network Neighbourhood Design (GNND).
In total they have spent about £14m on creating the 774 circuit network. The PSN is due to go live imminently, and the contract is set to last five years.
The network will form part of the Public Sector Broadband Aggregation (PSBA), a network that aims to connect all of Wales' hospitals, doctors' surgeries, local government offices, universities and further education colleges, along with many other public service provider organisations. The PSBA was launched in 2008.
The network will be provided and managed by ICT service provider Logicalis. It provides GNND members with high-capacity secure and scalable network connections across a range of connectivity options, and will deliver a full suite of voice, video and data services.
Steve Harding, chairman of GNND and assistant director of informatics for Aneurin Bevan Health Board, argued that this had a greater scale and ambition than other PSN network collaborations in the UK. "There are other projects being developed in other locations, but none that match the scale or ambition of the GNND. Ultimately, the network will provide the catalyst for significant change in working patterns across organisations," he said.
The new GNND group brings the most diverse range of organisations from one region onto PSBA, according to Harding, and each organisation has access to its own secure service environment.

Northwestern State linebacker Jordan Sennett, who had four special teams tackles in five plays, wraps up Virgil Williams of Southern Saturday night.

There were only two words that could describe the Northwestern State University-Southern University football game Saturday: Purple Swarm.
NSU sacked Jaguars quarterback Dray Joseph five times in the first half, and NSU capitalized with quarterback Zach Adkins passing for three touchdowns in the first half to spark the Demons' 55-14 win in front of 14,873 fans at Turpin Stadium.
"That's what's it's all about, that Purple Swarm," said first-year head Jay Thomas. "We stress to guys getting to the ball as quick as possible. We were surprised with Southern's offense when they played Houston. ...

For young me, he was the easy villain -- he showed no loyalty, firing everyone in sight, throwing around money as freely as his temper. It was an easy target.
As I got older, I realized what Steinbrenner really was, the rare owner who wanted to win as much -- if not more -- than any fan. He was the new (and still rare) breed who owned a team like a fan. He did whatever was necessary to win, putting that above the dollar. In so, he made many dollars. He bought low and took the Yankees and game to new heights.
More than anything, Steinbrenner was the type of owner you wanted as a fan. Everything he did -- right and wrong -- was due to his desire to win. He was the anti-David Glass, caring more about winning than the bottom line. To Steinbrenner, winning helped the bottom line and in the end, he was proven correct. It was certainly an advantage he owned the Yankees instead of the Indians, there are inherent advantages in owning a team in New York, but it took a special person to figure that out (ask a Dolan how that works).
In the end, Steinbrenner is the father of modern baseball. He took full advantage of his bully pulpit and brought the bidding wars to baseball and won his fair share and more of those.
There are plenty of negatives to Steinbrenner, but today's not the time for that. Steinbrenner's legacy is winning. He died with the Yankees in first and the reigning World Champions, in the end, that's exactly how he'd want it.

Developers and the mayor hope to bring more than 250 jobs to the city.
Construction is underway off Exit 11 on Interstate 75 in Williamsburg on a new development site.
Infrastructure problems with water and sewer at the Whitley County Health Department got the project started.
"The health department is going to be expanded pretty significantly. And there wasn't adequate water service to support that. And of course, when you have water, you have to have sewer, so that's the primary driver in the city's project," said Phil Meader, one of the site's developers.
"It was basically infrastructure upgrade to get it to the health department, which spurred all this other stuff happening. It's kind of been like a domino effect really. And it's been great," said Roddy Harrison, Mayor of Williamsburg.
Now, Tractor Supply, a new health department, motel, and medical facilities are in the works on the 36-acre site.
Other businesses are being discussed to bring more people to the city.
The mayor says the community is excited about a new casual restaurant, which is something he says Williamsburg needs.
The project is creating a huge opportunity for the city.
"Hopefully, what we are looking at and anticipating is a 39 million dollar investment into the city," said Mayor Harrison.
With severance money in place, the project can continue to move forward.
Engineers say the water and sewer lines should be in place within two months.

Kudos should be given to many of Springfield's leaders for their role in the Feb. 27 meeting at Second Baptist Church addressing the issue of homeless youth in Springfield ("Church calls on members to help kids in need," Feb. 28).
Police Chief Paul Williams, Loni Brewer of Rare Breed, Greene County Commissioner Harold Bengsch, and pastor Mark Struckhoff (to name just a few) all spoke from the heart regarding having compassion for those in Springfield who are less fortunate.
Regardless of criticism leveled at these and other local leaders - deserved or not - praise should be given where praise is due. There was no politics, no preaching and no finger pointing at the meeting. Instead of nonsense, the crowd was encouraged to take action to tackle Springfield's growing issue of homelessness.
Perhaps the most humility was shown by Bengsch when he noted that he accepted some of the responsibility for issues affecting our young people. Whether he should have taken responsibility or not, he pointed the finger partially at himself as an elected official.
The entire event showcased civility and compassion for those less fortunate.

Issue #117 • May/June, 2009
In the syrup house on Roger Clark's farm in Suwannee County, Florida, three generations of his family gather around a vat big enough to make a good size toddler swimming pool in a public park. It smells better here, though, because the family is cooking sugar cane to make a traditional Southern treat, cane syrup.
Roger Clark, patriarch and de facto head of the operation, explains how it works.
"To make cane syrup," he says, "sugar cane is ground down until you have a juice. Then the juice is boiled down. Taking the water off concentrates and concentrates it until it's thick enough to be a syrup. We grind 80 gallons of juice at a time, which will cook for approximately four hours, that will make roughly 12 gallons of syrup per batch."
Backwoods Home asked Roger for a little history on this regional product of the Deep South. He replied, "It started back years ago when farmers in this area didn't have any money, and that's how they got their sweets: from sugar cane products they grew on their own farms. My wife Brenda's granddad, Furnie Terry, was cooking it on his farm down the road long before she was born. Brenda's dad, L.C. Terry, started cooking it here around 1955, give or take a few years. L.C. did it as part of a cash flow thing for his farm because he was a full-time farmer. He would cook for two weeks and finish up with the bottling and such the third week. His syrup was shipped down into Tampa and different places."
Roger's wife's grandfather had made cane syrup as a "cash crop" product to help feed his family during the most drastic economic times in 20th century America. His children were a generation that had the Great Depression fresh in their collective memories, which is why even in the "Golden Fifties" Roger's father-in-law produced cane syrup as a cash supplement for his working farm.
Today, Roger reminisces, "When L.C. passed away, we started doing it just to keep it alive. It was a family tradition, and a regional tradition, really. It's something our whole family enjoys and looks forward to every year, young and old alike. Not many are doing it anymore, but a few more are coming into cane syrup-making now."
Is it profitable? Roger sees that as situational. "For me," he says, "it's a family tradition more than anything else. We don't always make enough money off it to pay for the LP gas and the syrup bottles. There's a lot of time involved, stripping and topping and all of that, and it's just not that profitable. For Furnie and L.C., sugar cane derivatives were sometimes the only sweets that impoverished farmers could afford. Sugar cane back then would be crystallized out to make a rock candy. And the syrup went on almost everything! Biscuits, meat, you name it. Nothing tastes quite like a bit of cane syrup on a good piece of ham."
Cane syrup has a taste all its own. Notes Roger, "Some compare it to molasses, but I don't think it tastes the same at all. Cane syrup is just a unique flavor of the South. Some folks add corn syrup to their cane syrup. That makes it go farther. Some feel it makes the shelf life longer, too, but I have my doubts about that. Our family still uses some cane syrup that Brenda's dad cooked in the '80s that's still good, though it's dark as motor oil. The older cane syrup gets, the darker it gets."
Cane syrup can be bought in stores in the Deep South, but true Southerners want to buy theirs from someone they know who produced and bottled it themselves. Of course, some thought must be given to the key ingredient.
"We have just half an acre of sugar cane," explains Roger. "Out of that, we can make three good runs of eighty gallons each, maybe more, depending on the year and the crop. This year was a dry year, and there was less."
Someone dreaming of becoming the next agribusiness King of Sugar Cane would do well to look into some other products. While L.C. Terry was able to make money at it and make it part of the income stream of his family farm "back in the day," Roger Clark sees cane syrup-making as something else. The cases of syrup from each run are set aside as gifts for family and friends. The making of it is something close to a bonding ritual. "It's a family effort," Roger says simply.
Yet watching the cane juice boil as everyone around the vat, from the elderly to the little kids, laughing and sucking on sweet sugar cane, it's good to know that such traditions are being preserved. If many of the gloomier economists are right about where things are going, traditions such as the Clark family boiling syrup may come back into fashion, perhaps sooner than we think.

|Reduction of thermal effects in a diode-end-pumped, composite Nd:YAG rod with a sapphire end.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18273285 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|We present what is to our knowledge the first theoretical and experimental estimation of the thermal characteristics of a composite Nd:YAG rod with an Al2O3 (sapphire) end in diode-end-pumped geometry. The peak temperature rise in the active segment is calculated to be reduced to 66% and the focal length of the thermal lens was measured to be reduced by 20% compared with a noncomposite Nd:YAG rod. By using a composite rod we successfully demonstrated the improvement of high-power performance that is due to reduction of thermally induced birefringence, which has not been observed in a composite rod with an undoped YAG end.

Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick makes his way into federal court in Detroit on Feb. 11. He faces 30 charges and up to 20 years in prison if convicted. / ANDRE J. JACKSON/Detroit Free Press
Day One of deliberations was uneventful for the jury -- at least publicly -- in the corruption trial of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and two others.
The nine women and three men of jury met for about 7 1/2 hours Tuesday, including over lunch, and did not reach a verdict in the racketeering case against Kilpatrick; his father, Bernard Kilpatrick, and contractor Bobby Ferguson, a friend of the ex-mayor.
The jury did not ask any questions that merited a public hearing before Judge Nancy Edmunds. All deliberations were conducted behind a closed door in the U.S. District Court in downtown Detroit.
The jurors will reconvene today at 9 a.m. and go until they reach a verdict, or the end of the day at 4:30 p.m. That's the schedule for each weekday until a decision is rendered.
Kwame Kilpatrick faces 30 charges. His father faces four, and Ferguson, 11.
If convicted, they each face up to 20 years in prison.
The men are accused of turning the mayor's office into a criminal enterprise designed to make them rich. The government says they rigged contracts, shook down businesspeople and used nonprofit funds for personal use.
The government dubbed the group the Kilpatrick Enterprise, and said its philosophy was simple: If you wanted business in the city, you had to hire Ferguson or, in some cases, the mayor's father, as a consultant.
The defendants have said they did nothing wrong and that they are targets of an overzealous government.

Why is Samuel L. Jackson's death in Deep Blue Sea considered anti-climatic. I thought it was shocking and completely unexpected. It seemed like he was the main hero of the movie and then bam! He's dead and gone. I loved it. In fact it was the best and most clever part of that turkey of a film.
I gave two definitions at the front of the post. This fits the second one: "trivial or commonplace concluding a series of significant events." The whole movie is fantasy up until the shark eats the guy, which is trivial--of course the shark eats the guy. The difference with Deep Blue Sea is exactly what you said--it was so obvious and we are so used to movies forgoing the obvious to bring us fantastic situations that when the obvious occurs we can't help but be shocked and surprised! The movie stunk, but this was by far the best moment and you absolutely nailed. Anti-climactic doesn't mean bad or boring!

Fascin induces membrane protrusions and cell motility. Fascin overexpression was associated with poor prognosis, and its downregulation reduces cell motility and invasiveness in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Using a stable knockdown cell line, we revealed the effect of fascin on cell growth, cell adhesion and tumor formation.
We examined whether fascin is a potential target in ESCC using in vitro and in vivo studies utilizing a specific siRNA. We established a stable transfectant with downregulated fascin from KYSE170 cell line.
The fascin downregulated cell lines showed a slower growth pattern by 40.3% (p < 0.01) and detachment from collagen-coated plates by 53.6% (p < 0.01), compared to mock cells, suggesting that fascin plays a role in cell growth by maintaining cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix. In vivo, the tumor size was significantly smaller in the tumor with fascin knockdown cells than in mock cells by 95% at 30 days after inoculation.
These findings suggest that fascin overexpression plays a role in tumor growth and progression in ESCC and that cell death caused by its downregulation might be induced by cell adhesion loss. This indicates that targeting fascin pathway could be a novel therapeutic strategy for the human ESCC.

Scientists use urine to charge cell phone
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 07/18/2013 @ 4:46 pm In Diversions | No Comments
(Agence Presse-France) British scientists on Tuesday reported they had harnessed the power of urine and were able to charge a mobile phone with enough electricity to send texts and surf the Internet.
Researchers from the University of Bristol and Bristol Robotics Laboratory in south west England said they had created a fuel cell that uses bacteria to break down urine to generate electricity, in a study published in the Royal Society of Chemistry journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics.
"No one has harnessed power from urine to do this so it's an exciting discovery," said engineer Ioannis Ieropoulos.

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - Michael Morse clubbed a solo homer to help lift
the Seattle Mariners to a 3-2 win over the New York Yankees in the rubber
match of a three-game set.
Dustin Ackley and Brendan Ryan knocked in the other runs for the Mariners,
who, after dropping the opener, won the final two games to claim their first
series against the Yankees in New York since June 29-July 1, 2010.
Former Yankee Hector Noesi made a spot start for Seattle, replacing Aaron
Harang after he was scratched with lower back stiffness. Noesi allowed an
unearned run on three hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Curtis Granderson finished 3-for-4 and scored a run for New York, which saw
Andy Pettitte (4-3) depart after 4 2/3 innings due to a tight left trapezius
muscle. The veteran left-hander, making his 499th career start, gave up two
runs on four hits, walked three and struck out five.

Listen to Alex Rawls' "An OffBeat Christmas 2011″ playlist on Spotify
Once upon a time, everybody cut a Christmas song. Country singers, R&B singers, surf bands and crooners—they along with countless jazz men and novelty artists cut celebrations of Santa, snow and the spirit of the season. These days, Christmas albums aren't as ubiquitous as they once were. There are still the exploit- the-market-while-you-can releases (cough, Justin Bieber's Under the Mistletoe, cough) and tasteful-until-joyless (violinist Mark O'Connor's An Appalachian Christmas), but there are also those with genuine signs of life—albums that reflect a personal relationship with the holiday, its music or both. Here are a few:
Ellis Marsalis
A New Orleans Christmas Carol
Ellis Marsalis' recordings always reflect wisdom. You have the sense that he's thought carefully about the composition, what's at its core, and what he understands as the possibilities. He last examined Christmas music in 2002 when he released May Your Christmas Be Bright: Jazz at Christmas in New Orleans, and he recently re-released an edited, expanded version of the album as A New Orleans Christmas Carol. It moves as you would expect: patiently, and with impeccable taste as subtle changes play out in the performance, but like anything Christmas oriented, it has a few pleasant surprises.
Many of these songs were meant to be celebratory, and a tight little groove behind "God Rest Ye Gentlemen" puts the fun back in a song that too often lumbers under the weight of its message. Bill Huntington's bass adds a hint of funk to "The Little Drummer Boy" that keeps the song playful when Marsalis solos. For this release, he has composed a new Christmas song, "Christmas Joy," sung by Johnaye Kendrick. As you'd expect, Marsalis understands the genre and writes effectively in it. The lyrics are snapshots from the holiday and the melody is circular, swirling gorgeously upward. The result sounds classic—a track that may have been around for 40 years and could be around for 40 more.
A New Orleans Christmas Carol ends with two additional versions of "The Little Drummer Boy," one that is a duet between Marsalis and son Jason, who plays drums on the album. The space created by the absence of a bass leads Ellis in a very different direction on his solo, one that evokes a little Storyville. It's followed by a solo version that features Marsalis at his most adventurous, playing with tension and mild dissonance between the spare, insistent bass chords on his left hand that emerge and recede in volume, and the sober, complex statement and consideration of the melody on his right. It's the side of his playing that emerges once or twice a set when he performs, and it's welcome every time.
These last two tracks, combined with the third version of "The Little Drummer Boy" that appears earlier on the album, provide insight into Marsalis' musical imagination, and how a change or two prompts radically different results. A New Orleans Christmas Carol is not only a lovely holiday album, but a valuable illustration of Marsalis' gifts as well.

Marcus Roberts Trio
Celebrating Christmas
Celebrating Christmas is jazz pianist Marcus Roberts' second album of Christmas music. A decade after his solo piano Prayer for Peace, he embraces the spirit of play this time around, albeit at a sophisticated level. On the opening "Jingle Bells," Roberts and his trio—including Jason Marsalis on drums—take the tune with the appropriate lightness, trying out different articulations of the melody on the verses, including a piano student's slightly hesitant walk-through note by note until they get to the chorus, where Roberts joins the fierce groove that Marsalis opens and closes with. "Silent Night" is slinky and elegant, while "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" has a theatrical strut.
That's not to say that Celebrating Christmas lacks gravity, but it doesn't indulge it any more than necessary. "O Holy Night" remains spiritual, and "Little Drummer Boy" stays straight-faced, even as Roberts' sparer-than-usual playing leaves plenty of room for Marsalis' churning snare. That restraint doesn't mean the album lacks invention, though. On "Little Drummer Boy," Marsalis plays the song at a swifter tempo than Roberts and bassist Rodney Jordan, which creates a simmering tension for much of the track, then a rush when they come together.
Nor does Roberts restrain his almost compulsive creativity. "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is far more listenable than usual because the trio changes key with each verse, and each change sparks another mode of attack and another unlikely approach that he makes work. And, they take the song at a sufficient pace to get it done four minutes and 22 seconds later.

She & Him
A Very She & Him Christmas
Most duets on "Baby, It's Cold Out There" stress the song's flirtation. When indie rock duo She & Him—M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel—try it on, they take it spryly. It's not an elaborate dance of seduction; it's flirtation through good-natured roughhousing. It's not the typical tempo for A Very She & Him Christmas, but it's representative of the album's subtle intelligence. The two keep it spare, down to a voice and ukulele for "Silver Bells," but they're not dogmatic about it. They stack up harmony vocal tracks on two Beach Boys covers, but the energy's dialed down. On "Christmas Day," the addition of guitars and a muffled percussion presents Deschanel as a lonely surfer girl walking the beach at sundown on Christmas Eve.
Throughout, they choose songs that play to their strengths: Deschanel's sweetness and Ward's impeccably tasteful guitar. They acknowledge their musical debts with clarity and delicacy while embracing the good-natured spirit of the season. It's no surprise that one of the highlights is their version of NRBQ's "Christmas Wish." They covered the 'Q's "Riding in My Car" on their previous album, and "Christmas Wish" is startlingly open to the spirit of the season.
A Very She & Him Christmas succeeds for the same reason that some Christmases succeed: Deschanel and Ward keep it real. They don't get unduly irreverent, nor do they embrace the holiday or its trappings with forced gusto. They're amused by the corniness but not so much so that they're condescending, and they find the charm in traditions—even commercial ones.

Scott Weiland
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Stone Temple Pilots' Scott Weiland could only be a rock star because no other profession would have someone as humorless and odd. The only thing less likely than a Scott Weiland Christmas album is the one he actually made, an album that presents him as a crooner without a hint of irony or wit. The orchestrations are the stuff of Sinatra and Tony Bennett—heavy on the strings and the gentle swing—and vocally, he wears the pose well enough. Not with much distinction, but he's comfortable if a bit formal in his lower register with the exception of "I'll Be Home for Christmas." Inexplicably, he gives the song his most affected vocal, singing as if he chugged the bowl of spiked egg nog and can no longer make his mouth form words. Set against a string arrangement straight out of 1957, it's truly strange.
That song aside, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year is a love letter to Christmas records as Weiland steps into classic tracks. He brings the same high-mindedness to Christmas music that Sinatra did, and when he drops the croon, he flashes forward to Esquivel's early 1960s for a space-age bachelor pad "Silent Night." The bossa nova version is pulsed forward by a Rhythm Ace, synthetic steel drums and a Spanish guitar. The same instrumentation shows up for "Happy Christmas and Many More," which sounds at first like a bossa nova take on Janis Ian's "At Seventeen."
Since the high water mark for Christmas music is the time frame he references—pre-Beatles, pre-JFK's assassination (as Dave Marsh and Steve Propes argue in Merry Christmas Baby)—Weiland's album feels familiar and nostalgic until you get to the white reggae "O Holy Night," which suffers the way most white reggae suffers. As the album leaves its two dominant modes to finish in an unconvincing third one, the final impression is that The Most Wonderful Time of the Year is simply half-assed instead of profoundly referential, though there's a long tradition of knocked-off Christmas albums too. Maybe I'm just focusing on the wrong riff.

2006 Scion xA • 4 cylinder FWD Manual • 90,000 miles
I have a 2006 Scion xA. I've never jump started a car before, so when my sister asked me to start hers, I googled it. The instructions said to start with both cars off, so when I tried to start hers, I forgot to turn mine on first. So, obviously, I couldn't get hers started, but the surprise was a half hour later it was time for me to go to work, but then mine wouldn't start either. I'm pretty sure my battery is fine, because the radio and lights work fine, but when I try to start it, instead of cranking it just starts clicking. I also have check engine lights on (which have been on for the past month) and a friend checked the codes and said that I probably needed a new gas cap to remedy the evap codes and a new crankshaft position sensor for another code, but it's been fine until I tried to start her car today.

A lawyer urging the Supreme Court to remove Ten Commandments displays from government grounds has told justices that such monuments "promote religion."
But, Justice Antonin Scalia responded that laws often invoke God's name and he's unsure "why the one is good and the other is bad."
The court is hearing arguments in two cases involving displays in Texas and Kentucky.
Demonstrators on both sides of the issue were gathered outside the court this morning.
The Reverend Patrick Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition thinks most Americans support public displays of the Ten Commandments. And a new Associated Press poll backs him up on that.
But, one man warned against the United States beginning "a
slippery slope to theocracy."

Say this for Mist: the duo has created a sound. It's difficult to remember any musical act that has been able to evoke the sort of stillness that Mist does with so many moving parts crashing around one another. It's certainly likely that the old electronic stalwarts like Aphex Twin and Autechre have managed similar feats from time to time, but nobody has built a sound on it. Mist's House accomplishes this feat by eschewing traditional electronic percussion for the sake of letting the sequencers do all of the talking. There's no oontz oontz here, no bass-snare-bassbasssnare, and what the listener gets is a series of electronic still lifes. Opener "Twin Lanes" sparkles, "Daydream" serves as a mid-album deep breath, "I Can Still Hear Your Voice" spends nine minutes sounding like it is inches away from turning into a New Order song, and closer "P.M." finishes things on a lovely, quiet, science fiction-esque note. Its seven tracks combine for almost an hour's worth of music, but that hour is so of a piece that it passes quickly, almost unnoticed through the speakers. House is not the type of album to attract attention, but it's also a fascinating little thing that's hard to forget.

Hovercraft-size...powder boards longer or shorter?

Watch those hovercrafts, the inserts are forward of the centre of sidecut radius. Unless you would set up a twin forward of centre Im not sure why anybody would want that on a powder board. Its a design flaw in my opinion.
As for riding like a bigger board, they dont have the effective edge of a longer board and the only way you can increase the surface area of the board is by width. So when you cut through all the hype its just a wide board.
You have to consider if you want something that will hold a good edge on the hardpack, a board with full rocker forward of the bindings is never going to be as good as one with camber out in front like mine does, then add the long powder nose and the board is getting long, theres nothing you can do about it.
If you value the performance on hardpack as much as you do in the powder you find yourself needing a longer board. If you are prepared to have a rocker board from the front foot forward you can basically start the rocker nose profile a lot earlier and end up with a shorter board like the hovercraft. But I still dont know why the inserts are forward of centre? Id love someone to explain that one.

Rosberg wins Australian GPComment on this story
Melbourne – Germany's Nico Rosberg led from start to finish to win an eventful season-opening Australian Grand Prix as world champion Sebastian Vettel and pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton were both early casualties.
Mercedes' Rosberg beat Australian Daniel Ricciardo, who placed second in his first drive for Red Bull, with McLaren debutant Kevin Magnussen impressively taking third in an exhilarating race in Melbourne.
However, Ricciardo's joy was short lived and he was later stripped of his first F1 podium finish after his car was found to have broken fuel regulations, the governing FIA said. The decision meant Magnussen moved up from third to second, with team mate Jenson Button taking third place.
But there was no joy for Vettel, the four-time defending world champion, and Mercedes' Hamilton who both dropped out early with mechanical problems.
At the start, Rosberg swept to the front from third on the grid and he safely held Ricciardo at bay by 24.5 seconds to give Mercedes, who are already looking dominant, the first win of the season.
It was Rosberg's fourth GP win and his first since Silverstone last year.
But while Mercedes were celebrating Rosberg's triumph, they lost Hamilton on the fourth lap with mechanical problems. Vettel also went out early, his first retirement since last year's British GP.
McLaren's Jenson Button was third (after finishing fourth) with Ferrari's Fernando Alonso fourth and Valtteri Bottas fifth for Williams.
Fourteen cars of the 22 finished the race, which had its hair-raising moments on the opening lap.
Felipe Massa and Kamui Kobayashi came off together at the first bend and were out of the race, while Vettel struck trouble at the rear of the field.
Stewards said they would be launching an investigation into the Massa-Kobayashi collision.
The Mercedes team told Hamilton he needed to retire on the second lap, but quickly amended the message to "stay out" on the track.
But Hamilton only lasted another lap before he came into the pits and his under-powered car was taken into the team garage.
Vettel followed Hamilton out of the race, retiring on lap six with mechanical problems.
Finland's Bottas scraped the wall and lost his right rear wheel on the 10th lap and forced the safety car out on to the track.
Bottas pitted for new tyres and rejoined the race and finished sixth (later promoted to fifth). – Sapa-AFP

The University of Alabama made it look easy Sunday in their second game against the Jaguars of South Alabama.
Alabama, the No. 2 national seed in the NCAA Softball Tournament, closed with an exclamation point, scoring three runs in its last at-bat and striking out South Alabama's last three hitters for a 6-0 victory in front of almost 2,100 fans at Rhoads Stadium.
Alabama (53-7) will host Michigan (42-15), the winner of the Louisville (Ky.) Regional, in a best-of-three Super Regional next week, with dates and times to be determined.
The winner of the Super Regional advances to the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City.
UA scored one run in each of the first three innings, and ace Jackie Traina seemed to have the Jaguars (41-17) number as she improved to 35-2 on the season. Traina has recorded 301 strikeouts on the season.

Photos: Highs & lows of Delonte West's career with Mavs, in NBA
Photo: ODD ANDERSEN/AFP/Getty Images
To put it mildly, Delonte West's 10-month tenure with the Mavericks was exciting, writes Eddie Sefko. West went on a social-media rant early last season that drew unwanted attention to him and the Mavericks. He dislocated and broke a finger that cost him a month of action. After he re-signed for a one-year, minimum contract of $1.2 million, he professed his love for the organization and city of Dallas. Then, in the last two weeks, he was suspended twice and a source said he was guilty of causing too many scenes during training camp to tolerate. The first suspension lasted less than a day. The second is permanent — and without pay.

Bushes 'N
Greenhouse on Sale
Sweet Peas are one of the favorite vegetables of kids and adults. You'll
love them straight from the garden. You can pick sweet peas off the vine,
shell them and eat them raw, for a delicious, and healthy snack. Sweet Peas
are one of the hardier vegetables. Sometimes called snow peas, they get their
name as the young seedlings can survive frosts, freezes and even snow!
There are numerous varieties of garden sweet peas. Some pea plants require
fencing or support. Others are described as "Self-supporting". Read the
directions on the package to identify what you are buying. We recommend you
fence them, regardless of type. This helps to keep the pea pods off the ground,
and results in cleaner peas. Inexpensive chicken wire fence and a few stakes
are all you need. Or, use a
Vegetable "Pop Rocks!? Run Frozen peas under hot tap water to warm
them up. (Don't cook them). Kids love they way the peas "pop" in their
Varieties of Sweet Peas:
Regular Sweet Peas- These nutritious vegetables are grown for their seeds.
There are many varieties to choose from. Some are better for canning and
freezing, while others are best fresh.
Edible Podded- Eat the pea pod and all. The pod is sweet and tender (if picked
while still young). It also contains pea seeds. Best of all, they are far
easier to prepare. Simply pick them, wash them off, and cook them. No shelling
is needed.
Chinese Peas- Similar to edible podded peas, you eat the crispy pod of these
chinese varieties. The difference, is the pea inside is very tiny.
Days to Maturity:
Ranges from 55 to 70 days, depending on variety. Early varieties have
less seeds in the pod, usually three to four. Later varieties may have 8
to 10 seeds per pod.
Hills and Mounding:
Early spring crops benefit by creating a long hill or mound. This slight
elevation helps to warm the soil. Most importantly, it keeps excess water
and spring rain from rotting the seeds before they sprout.
Don't worry if there is cold weather or even snow. Young pea plants are hardy,
and will survive temperatures into the 20's.
How to Grow Sweet Peas:
Growing sweet peas is easy. Select an area of your vegetable garden that
gets full sun. The plants prefer rich garden soil. Mound soil for spring
planting, if your area receives heavy and frequent spring rains.
Sow sweet pea seeds as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring. Space
seeds 1" to 1 1/2" apart. The large seeds are easy to space. We suggest planting
double rows, with the double rows about 2 feet apart. Place a fence between
the double rows, for them to climb upon.
Apply a side dressing of fertilizer, to give these plants a fast start as
soon as they germinate. Apply a general purpose fertilizer every three to
four weeks.
Planted in the early spring, the soil is usually contains plenty of moisture
until warmer, drier weather sets in. Water deeply, as needed.
Sweet Peas do not grow well in hot weather. However, fall crops will do well.
Make sure to plant them with enough growing time to mature prior to heavy
Harvest as sweet peas, and edible podded varieties, while young and tender.
Sweet Peas lose their sweetness and become hard, if left on the vine
too long.

Ideal Soil
Insects and Pests:
Pea seedlings are a popular food for birds. As the seedlings grow, birds
will sometimes eat the tender tips. We recommend placing chicken wire or
bird netting over the young seedlings.
Boring insects will sometimes enter the pea pod. Occasional aphid infestations
can also occur, but this is uncommon.
In wet weather, slugs will climb the vines and suck on the pea pods. Use
snail and slug pellets. For organic control, make a beer trap. Put a little
beer in a small can or bowl. Tuna cans work great. Bury the trap, up to the
lip, in the garden soil. Snails and slugs will be attracted to it, fall in
and drown.

More on Plant Problem Diseases
and Problems
With summer heat and humidity, comes diseases that can befall these plants
just before, or during the ripening of the crop. Fungicides can be used in
areas of high heat and humidity. However, we recommend you find out whether
it is a problem in your area first.
Peas are very "cold weather" hardy. Plant them early in the season. They
will withstand frost, light freezes, and even snow cover. Planted early enough
you can complete one crop by early July, and still have time for a fall crop
in most areas.
Peas do not like heat. In hot weather the plant stunts or slows it's growth.
Any peas that develop and mature are not as sweet.

Sweet Peas and Onions in Lemon
Peas in Sour Cream Sauce
