I am growing a Mr. Rock Mirliton. I received the sprout in November 2009 and kept it inside in a pot all winter with great results. Lots of green healthy leaves. I began the transition to outside growing with hardening off and after 3 days the leaves began to wilt, turn brown and die. There appear to be 2-3 baby shoots... |
Anyone know what I can do to keep this mirliton alive?? |
BTW - I am in Virginia. |
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Jonathan Lucroy put the finishing touches on Milwaukee’s resounding three-game sweep of Los Angeles, giving the NL West leaders plenty to think about should they meet again in October. |
Lucroy tied a season high with five RBIs, including his first home run in more than three weeks, and the Brewers beat the Dodgers 7-2 on Sunday to maintain their three-game lead over St. Louis in the NL Central. |
Lucroy also had five RBIs on June 17 at Arizona, including a pair of homers – one of which was a grand slam. |
“It was one of those days where I got a couple of good pitches to hit and was able to hit them hard,” Lucroy said. “(Dan) Haren made a couple of mistakes up in the zone and I was able to take advantage.” |

According to The Courier: |

Thatsa spicy meatball of offenses right there. But according to pro-anti-hoon forces, officers must be specially trained to confiscate vehicles, and in some cases, a notice of surrender may be issued. Gotta keep those fackin' 'ouns off the road somehow. |

FAUTE DE MIEUX |
In my childhood I demurred to the description of a certain young lady as "the pretty Miss So and So." My aunt rebuked me by saying "Remember always that the least plain sister is the family beauty." |
No age or condition is without its heroes. The least incapable general in a nation is its Cæsar, the least imbecile statesman its Solon, the least confused thinker its Socrates, the least commonplace poet its Shakespear. |

Here's another 'Estonian-style' dish for you, dear readers. But let me first take you back to my first trip across the big pond.. |
When I was in the US last summer (in June 2008), I spent a few days with a lovely foodblogger Alanna in St Louis, MO. Alanna took very good care of me, and fed me well. One of the dishes she introduced me to, was a Classic Seven-Layer Salad. Last night, at the New Year's Eve party at our place, I served an Estonian equ... |

BattleBots legend Jim Smentowski attended the South Florida (SFL) |
Robot Riot in Miami Beach the last |
weekend in April as both a competitor |
and an event sponsor. |
The SFL Robot Riot is an open |
Insect class fighting robot event |
conducted in conjunction with the |
STEM Tech Olympiad 2012 at the Miami |
Convention Center. Jim supports many |
fighting robot events by donating gift |

Marketplace) and still competes in |
fighting robot events. |
He had two bots entered in the SFL |
Robot Riot competition: a 150 gram |
Flea (a.k.a. Fairy) and a one pound Ant. |
Accompanying his dad was Jim’s son |
Ian (Figure 1). We thought we were |
seeing the passing of the torch from |
father to son at the event. |
