These devices, which can be standalone switches or integrated into a blade on an enterprise class switch, are useful for the management and control of WLAN access points. Although their deployment is a relatively new phenomenon, such control and configuration functions have existed before in WLAN controller devices.
Elephant garlic (Allium ampeloprasum) is the source of much confusion and the issue of elephant vs normal size garlic is one with a counter-intuitive outcome. Many people are attracted to elephant garlic and buy it simply because of its size. They assume that it must be more strongly flavoured than ordinary variety.
Most commercial garlic is grown in the mild climate of northern California. These varieties of garlic will not grow well in Minnesota, and will develop a hot flavor. When choosing garlic for your garden, use varieties adapted to cold climates. Note that elephant garlic is a type of leek, not a true garlic. Garlic varieties are broadly placed into two categories - hardneck and softneck types.
