POPSWatermelon: Three Juicy Benefits Watermelon: Best Not Chilled Ice-cold watermelon on a steamy summer day really hits the spot. But you'll be best served by keeping it on your countertop until cutting time. Whole watermelons stored at room temperature deliver more cell-protecting antioxidants (specifically lycopene and beta carotene) than refrigerated or freshly picked melons. Here's why A Chilling Effect After it's picked, watermelon continues to ripen and build up antioxidants. Cold temperatures appear to cut this process short. So leave your watermelon out, as long as you haven't sliced it. After it's cut, it should be stored in the refrigerator for food-safety reasons. And don't forget to wash your watermelon before cutting it to avoid this.

POPSTrue Balsamic Vinegar from The Perfect Pantry. I have heard that you can reduce cheaper balsamic vinegar to create a balsamic syrup. Any one tried this? One of the cutest appetizers I've seen are little cubes of watermelon, with a tiny well (made from a wee melonballer) filled with balsamic syrup.

POPS Scientists: Watermelon yields Viagra-like effects I thought I would shoot this in here in case you missed it. The active ingredient is found in the flesh and rind of the watermelon. As you know this is not the tasty part. On the other hand, a lot cheaper then Viagra. Have a great July 4th weekend everyone!

POPSWatermelon May Have Viagra-effect In watermelons, these include lycopene, beta carotene and the rising star among its phyto-nutrients – citrulline – whose beneficial functions are now being unraveled. Among them is the ability to relax blood vessels, much like Viagra does. Scientists know that when watermelon is consumed, citrulline is converted to arginine through certain enzymes. Arginine is an amino acid that works wonders on the heart and circulation system and maintains a good immune system, Patil said.

POPSWhy is he Being Charged Anyway? Granted this article doesn't give a lot of details, but it sounds like a man in Florida is being tried for offering pornographic material on a website. Why should this be a crime? If someone wants to search for a website that has porn, and view that porn in their own home, and even pay the site owner for the service, why should that be an issue? Too many people in this country have gotten caught up in "moral" and "religious" values. If you want to consider some material offensive and not consume it, no problem at all. Just don't view it. But it's absolutely ridiculous to pass laws banning availability of that material. Now child pornography is one thing, because children aren't old enough to really consent and understand what's happening. But presenting pornographic material with adult models should not be a crime.
