pstp food garden 30 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , 30a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , Pumpkin seed oil (Kernöl or Kürbiskernöl in German, bučno olje in Slovenian, bučino ulje or bundevino ulje in Serbian and Croatian, and tökmag-olaj in Hungarian), a culinary specialty of south eastern Austria (Styria), eastern Slovenia (Styria and Prekmurje), north western Croatia (esp. Međimurje), adjacent regions of Hungary, is a European Union Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) product. Today the oil is an important export commodity of Austrian and Slovenian parts of Styria. It is made by pressing roasted, hulled pumpkin seeds (pepitas), from a local variety of pumpkin, the "Styrian oil pumpkin" (Cucurbita pepo var. styriaca, also known as var. oleifera). It has been produced and used in Styria's southern parts at least since the 18th century. The earliest confirmed record of oil pumpkin seeds in Styria (from the estate of a farmer in Gleinstätten) dates to February 18,... more... - Thomas Page from Bookmarklet

Cucurbitacin is any of a class of biochemical compounds that some plants — notably members of the family Cucurbitaceae, that includes the common pumpkins and gourds — developed in order to defend themselves from herbivores. Cucurbitacins are chemically classified as steroids, formally derived from cucurbitane, a triterpene hydrocarbon — specifically, from the unsaturated variant... more... - Thomas Page

"The elder brother refuses to join the party, but the father won’t leave it like that. He goes out to the elder brother, and Jesus ends the parable with the father and the elder brother standing out in the courtyard—forever—at least for 2,000 years now. And there it is. It’s all done in the presence of the redeemer. Even the obstinacy of the older brother. The father doesn’t give up. He’s right there with the elder brother, aching for him as much as he ached for the younger one, the prodigal." - MoTO #TeamMonique from Bookmarklet

"When a woman undergoes weight loss surgery, her own body isn't the only one affected: children born to women after they've undergone gastric bypass procedures exhibit key genetic differences compared to siblings born prior to the surgeries. That's according to a small new study published in PNAS this week. Researchers tracked 20 women, all of whom lost nearly 100 pounds following a specific type of gastric bypass surgery — wherein one's digestive system is redirected to limit food intake and caloric absorption — as well as their children. When the team evaluated children born after a mother's surgery, they found 5,698 genes that were expressed differently from those of siblings born before a mother had lost weight." - Me from Bookmarklet

"It is interesting to see what passes for financial journalism in the press. This morning a guest was on one of the major news stations and she was mentioning that Americans need to save $1 million or more to retire comfortably. In the next sentence, she mentioned that two-thirds of Americans don’t even save enough and in this group, about half don’t even save. So think about that. How in the world is this group even going to come close to saving one million dollars for retirement when they are living paycheck to paycheck? 47.7 million Americans are on food stamps and they are talking about saving a million dollar as if this was some kind of easy task to achieve. Is it any wonder then that the vast majority of the country is by default going to rely on Social Security as their main source of retirement income as if the government had a secret touch that turns everything into gold like King Midas? Pensions are becoming a thing of the past now. For most of this country retirement... more... - Morton Fox from Bookmarklet

If I run out of money I assume I'll turn to my kids for support, which is not unprecedented in my family. Where do people without kids turn when they run out of money in their old age. - Brian Johns

"League officials have copped to juicing baseballs in order to raise offensive levels. If that sounds like the light shining on a dark conspiracy regarding the high-offense era that ran through Major League Baseball from the mid-1990s to the late 2000s, it’s not, though such a revelation is on my wish list. Instead, it’s actually what has transpired in Japan, which is currently amid something of a home run boom." - SteVe C from Bookmarklet

"We’ll probably never get Bud Selig or Rawlings officials to cop to tweaking MLB’s baseballs in the 1990s and 2000s. But as the news from Japan shows, leagues and equipment manufacturers aren’t above doing so on the down-low in the name of trying to stimulate interest in the game." - SteVe C

Any civilization that somehow developed on a planet without an ionosphere may have never developed analog radio and TV and may have just jumped directly to digital electronic transmissions. So there would never be any alien commerical radio broadcasts or TV shows for us to intercept. - Victor Ganata

This is in contradiction to the Pew poll http://www.people-press.org/2013... The problem is, Gallup sucked in the 2012 election while Pew wasn't that bad. Who should I believe? (Sad to say, I'm inclined to believe that most Americans are petty tyrants, so I'm leaning towards Pew's findings.) - Victor Ganata
