Nice job on that.
I like the color of that Park Gray. Does it have a textured look like an actual park finish? It's hard to tell from a pic.
Heated unfinished gun parts in oven at 200 temp for 30 min.
Degrease then blasted with aluminum oxide then degrease again, heated to aprox. 100 degrees and sprayed light coat with Aluma Hyde II Park Gray, dried with hair dryer for about 30-40 seconds between 3 coats.
Hung to dry for about two hours, then cured in oven on 250 for 3 hours, let cool in oven.
Removed parts wiped with 3in 1 oil and assembled.
Nice job on that.
I like the color of that Park Gray. Does it have a textured look like an actual park finish? It's hard to tell from a pic.
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
It has a textured look and feel.
Looks good Shooter. Have you used other products, and if so, how does the Aluma Hyde do compared to the others. I'm thinking about trying some next. Been using Duracoat for about 2 years.
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
Never used Duracoat.
Real happy with the price, ease of use and finish with the Aluma Hyde II.
As with most...prep is key.
Here are some pics showing texture of finish.
If you hold the ctrl button and dial the mouse wheel you can zoom pics.
Only problem I had with alumahyde was I put it on took thick and it smeared on me. Once it was baked it has held up nicelly. I have not had a problem with duracoat, but I do think the alumhyde II is a little better. If only they had it at the hardware store.

I think I'm gonna start playing ROSE Online again and had a question about Hawkers.
If I went bow would I have to buy arrows? Silly question but I just can't stand having to buy ammo for my weapons sometimes so I take it into consideration lol.
I believe my old character was a Soldier but I'm not sure, I stopped playing because I didn't have anybody to play with. :P

Together, the questionnaire and the scan provide a snapshot of how well a merchant is protecting the cardholder data they store, process or transmit. A passing scan and passing questionnaire will deem the merchant compliant with PCI.
If a merchant does not pass the scan and/or questionnaire, they are deemed non-compliant. A remediation plan will be necessary to address the areas of weakness, risk and vulnerability.
What happens if I am not PCI Compliant?
If you do not comply with the security requirements of the card associations, your business may be at risk of compromise. You are subject to fines from the card associations for non-compliance, and if compromised, you are at risk for financial loss, additional fines, loss of business, damage to your brand's reputation and other loss of critical systems.

48 for the Division, 39 for the Wild Card ( I will note that these numbers are different than those at https://twitter.com/RedsMagicNumber but I think my math is right. Pirates have 48 losses so the most wins they can get to is 114. The Reds are at 67 wins so to get to 115 they need
get 48 wins (this can also be lowered by Pirates losses). The closest wild card foe is Arizona. They have 57 losses. the highes number of wins they can reach is 105. 106-67= 39.

It's been a good week. The magic number dropped 9 for the division, and 7 for the wild card. We need a couple more weeks just like it...
""Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona." George Will
I'm not sure how they come up with their numbers, but Baseball Prospectus has the Reds at a higher % of winning the WS than the Cards or Pirates.
Making the playoffs all the way up to 94.8%
In order to figure the WS Win Pct, we use the odds ratio to figure out a team's expected win percentage in various playoff rounds, and then use the binomial probability mass function to find the odds of winning a five or seven game series as appropriate.
29 for a playoff spot.
Is it "next season" yet?
Love this thread!
Attended 1976 World Series in my Mother's Womb. Attended 1990 World Series Game 2 as a 13 year old. Want to take my son to a a World Series Game in Cincinnati in my lifetime.
playoffs are getting closer. Can't wait until this gets to 0 and we're counting down the division.
Is it "next season" yet?
Lose and still get 1 game closer to the post season. Thanks Phillies.
Is it "next season" yet?
I know it's been a few days, but is no one else wanting to count down? We could be inside 20 by the end of the weekend.

Who else is focusing on this area?
Given the growing importance of environmental sustainability in social and economic development, much global attention has been given to the role of information and communications technologies (ICTs), both as tools to address sustainability imbalances and as the source of environmental challenges in themselves. Over the last 10 years several prominent projects and multi-stakeholder networks have unfolded in the areas of ICTs and climate change and e-waste, including but certainly not limited to important work by the Swiss government, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and Manchester University.

With each passing day since the Sandy Hook tragedy, we hold our children tight, tuck them into their beds, and grieve for the parents who will never kiss another sleeping cheek. Then we wonder. How safe are our children? Could this happen to our babies? In our communities?
The questions are natural, and the answers seem frightening.
The first lesson that any law enforcement officer, criminologist, or security specialist has to learn is that any sufficiently motivated offender is likely to succeed. That's hard to live with, and many of us in this field develop a sense of hyper-vigilance because we are alive to the darkest possibilities of human nature. We have to stop searching for answers that don't exist and give up the myth of a total security solution.
Crisis-oriented safety measures are comforting, but they will never completely succeed. If we ever perfected school campus security — we never will, but let's imagine — then the next perpetrators would find different methods. They might hijack a school bus, or develop a bomb, or, or, or….
So how do I find comfort? I look at the criminal-justice field as a whole and I am tremendously impressed with how far we have come in the last 40-odd years. Take a look at the homicide rate per 100,000 and tell me: Would you rather be raising a child now when the homicide rate is the lowest it's been in decades, or in 1980, before Columbine, when Atari ruled, Call of Duty hadn't even been imagined, Smurfs were Smurfing, and the murder rate was twice as high?

Chef Issac,
Haven't you moved back to Washington (the State) from Oregon? If so, you might want to update your profile.
Chef Issac,
Haven't you moved back to Washington (the State) from Oregon? If so, you might want to update your profile.
Tell your wife the website looks good. I will give you a few suggestions on how you can improve your site (if you feel like it) otherwise just ignore them. Only a few.
1. Add a robots meta tag.
code:

<meta name="robots" content="index,follow">

[/QUOTE]as the very first meta tag under
code:

[/QUOTE]2. I would use a style sheet instead of a tag just to make the site load fasater.
3. Take the keywords out of the description tag. I mean use as many as you can just not in a keyword format. Actually describe your site in an logical way using as many keywords as possible. Look Here see how your title is on the page. google is ignoring your description. Use that title in the description but you can get several more sentences.
4.I would make the text "You'll be redirected to the National Honey Board" smaller to eliminate the sideways scrollbar at 800x600.
Thats my opinion, again I mean no offense just some helpful suggestions on how to make a great site better.
Gosh, I remember when web sites didn't have pictures... or anything but HTML in them. That was back in 1985 and you could "browse" the entire World Wide Web in less than an hour. I even did it a few times! I remember thinking . o O ( hey... this could get big...)
Now, I wouldn't say I'm a purist, but I do like simpler sites that don't suck up my limited bandwidth- either that of my modem, or my brain. I used to (for 10 years or so) build web sites- mostly backend CGI stuff and putting databases (or information in them) online- my favorite combo was Mysql and Perl but the last company I worked for ended up going (gah!) with Oracle and Tcl before ultimately downsizing their guts out. Now I keep bees and work for a guy building post and beam buildings.
Anyways, I digress. I like websites with a high signal-to-noise ratio i.e., high on content and low on junk, fluff, ads and other time-wasters. I tolerate pop-ups about as much as I tolerate dog bites.
I've also always used what I call the 10-second rule: If a home page takes more than 10 seconds to load, I hit the back button. This says as much about my attention span as it does my bandwidth [img]smile.gif[/img] If I'm interested in the site anyways, sometimes I'll let it load. I love pictures and love to download them, and love to take my own and post them for other folks to look at. Pictures can take time to load and I make exceptions to my 10-second rule for pictures, usually. Someday I'll get a broadband connection and I'll be able to really pull down them graphics and look at all those sites I've never seen because I had to hit the back button..
Lastly, I absolutely positively HATE to click more than 3 times to get to the information I want. I'm a firm believer in sensible navigation.
I have a web site. I've always had a web site, someplace, since 1986. For 10 years I ran my own servers, utilizing bandwidth paid for by the company I worked for. It was great! Now I've simplified things and instead of running a few networks, I run my own laptop. My latest web site is about beekeeping, naturally. A friend hosts it for me.
The site has only been up for about a month. I play with it when I get the chance, which isn't very often these days. I'll have more time during the winter. I expect to make some sales contacts via my site, someday, but I don't have any great expectations. I'll probably never have a shopping-cart enabled site where I take orders and credit card numbers though ironically, I used to build them.. but I've also learned never to say never. So we'll see. I'll certainly be happy to do as much business as possible via email. For now, my web site is a means of self expression and information dissemination and I'd encourage Chef and anyone else half-interested to setup their own web site and give it a whirl.

I like it. Fast, clean, humorous.I have a web site
Nobody ruins my day without my permission, and I refuse to grant it...
Hehe... BeeBear was kind enough to point out an error in my post. 1986 was when I got my first internet account and I first "heard" about the WWW in 1989, it was going to be "bigger than Gopher" and bring the internet "to the masses". It was more like 1990 before the first web browser came out and the world wide web was actually something you could look at. It was 1991 when I started playing with HTML.
FWIW, which ain't much.
Dulcius ex asperis
The first web browser came out in March, 1993.
I still have a vivid memory of "watching" the comet crash into Jupiter in that timeframe, the first demonstration that I had of the coming potential of the WWW. http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/sl9/ I never dreamed that in less than a decade it would change the way that many people in the world get information.
So, to add my comments to this thread . . . yes, I believe that a web site is worth the trouble. However, it's quite possible to have a lousy web site that actually sours people on your business. If you can't do a decent job, best not to bother.
"Decent job" to me means a clean site that contains concise and current information. Think what your potential customers are trying to achieve by going to your site, and meet those goals. Lose the dancing graphics and cutesy stuff -- to me this is just clutter that keeps me from finding what I need. And don't put up a site and forget about it unless you stick with the basics that don't change. I really hate to visit a site that contains information that is obviously outdated; that's the kind of thing that would send me elsewhere.

New Fire codes coming to Black Forest as rebuilding efforts progress
BLACK FOREST, Colo. - As new construction continues after the destructive wildfire, the Black Forest Fire District has passed new fire codes for those rebuilding which now go to county commissioners for final approval.
The codes would apply only to new construction and require fire resistant siding and decks (fire resistant roofs were already required), ban plastic culverts (which melted during the fire and trapped fire trucks) and require people with large homes (in the 4,000 square-foot range) to pay a one-time $5,600 fee if they opt not to get a sprinkler system or cistern.
Stafford Brochu has finished the first building since the fire, a workshop on his property on Crump Road. Construction on his house is now underway and is expected to be done by February.
"Today we're pouring the footers and that's the basis for the concrete walls," said Brochu, as crews poured cement.
He said he is planning to use fire-proof materials for his siding and decks, but decided not to get a sprinkler system or cistern.
"In the event of a fire, the fire department shuts off the water so what good is water in a cistern if you can't get to it?" he asked.
Brochu also isn't thrilled with the idea of a $5,600 fee.
"It would help them buy new equipment, but it's not going to shorten the amount of time to get to the fire," Brochu said.
Fire Chief Bob Harvey says the money would be used to upgrade fire tankers.
"It would allow us to upsize the tenders we have or even have the latitude to have a tender designated driver," Harvey said. "So it could actually have an improved response capability for the department."
Harvey said estimates from five different home building contractors show that it will cost about an extra $2,200 for homeowners to use fire resistant siding and decks.

Pot votes in CO, WA raise specter of weed tourism
DENVER (AP) — Hit the slopes — and then a bong?
Marijuana legalization votes this week in Colorado and Washington state don't just set up an epic state-federal showdown on drug law for residents. The measures also open the door for marijuana tourism.
Both marijuana measures make marijuana possession in small amounts OK for all adults over 21 — not just state residents but visitors, too. Tourists may not be able to pack their bowls along with their bags, but as long as out-of-state tourists purchase and use the drug while in Colorado or Washington, they wouldn't violate the marijuana measures.
Of course, that's assuming the recreational marijuana measures take effect at all. That was very much in doubt Friday as the states awaited word on possible lawsuits from the U.S. Department of Justice asserting federal supremacy over drug law.
So the future of marijuana tourism in Colorado and Washington is hazy. But that hasn't stopped rampant speculation, especially in Colorado, where tourism is the No. 2 industry thanks to the Rocky Mountains and a vibrant ski industry.
The day after Colorado approved recreational marijuana by a wide margin, the headline in the Aspen Times asked, "Aspendam?" referring to Amsterdam's marijuana cafes.
Colorado's tourism director, Al White, tried to downplay the prospect of a new marijuana tourism boom.
"It won't be as big a deal as either side hopes or fears," White said.
Maybe not. But many are asking about marijuana tourism.
Ski resorts are "certainly watching it closely," said Jennifer Rudolph of Colorado Ski Country USA, a trade association that represents 21 Colorado resorts.
Any plans for an adults-only après lounge where skiers could get more than an Irish coffee to numb their aches?
"There's a lot that remains to be seen," Rudolph said with a chuckle. "I guess you could say we're waiting for the smoke to clear."
The Colorado counties where big ski resorts are located seem to have made up their minds. The marijuana measure passed by overwhelming margins, with more support than in less visited areas.
The home county of Aspen approved the marijuana measure more than 3-to-1. More than two-thirds approved marijuana in the home county of Colorado's largest ski resort, Vail. The home county of Telluride ski resort gave marijuana legalization its most lopsided victory, nearly 8 in 10 favoring the measure.
"Some folks might come to Colorado to enjoy some marijuana as will be their right. So what?" said Betty Aldworth, advocacy director for the Colorado marijuana campaign.
Washington state already sees a version of marijuana tourism.
Every summer on the shores of the Puget Sound, Seattle is host to "Hempfest," which according to organizers attracted around 250,000 people over three days this year. For those three days, people are largely left alone to smoke publically at a local park, even as police stand by.
"People travel to Seattle from other states and countries to attend Seattle Hempfest every year to experience the limited freedom that happens at the event," said executive director Vivian McPeak. "It's reasonable to assume that people will travel to Washington assuming that the federal government doesn't interfere."
McPeak draw parallels to Amsterdam where an annual "Cannabis Cup" attracts tourists from all over the world and Vancouver, British Columbia, which has lax marijuana rules that have borne marijuana cafes drawing travelers.
Amsterdam's marijuana tourism is in a hazy spot these days, though. The incoming Dutch government suggested a national "weed pass" that would have been available only to residents and that would have effectively banned tourists from Amsterdam's marijuana cafes. The "weed pass" idea was scrapped, but under a provisional governing pact unveiled last week, Dutch cities can bar foreigners from weed shops if they choose.
In Denver, some feared that the Colorado marijuana vote could deter tourists, not to mention business visitors.

The dilemma
Rosalie has painful, inflamed sacro-iliac joints at the base of her spine which make travel or driving uncomfortable in her Mitsubishi Lancer.
"What I need is a seat where my knees are at least on the level of my hips, if not lower," she says.
"Can these seats be modified in some way? If not, I wondered if you could suggest any vehicles with better seating that may help my situation."
Well Rosalie, "'dropping" into the front seats and "climbing" back out again on any vehicle can become a chore even when the body is in reasonable shape, so I understand your situation.
Unfortunately, I suspect you are not going to be able to modify the seat on your Lancer to your satisfaction easily (if at all), so it may be better to look for a more user-friendly vehicle.
Thankfully, seating position is important to designers, especially for the mainstream fleet where ease of entry and exit becomes a priority for buyers.
The advantage of a raised seating position and seat height adjusters is that it helps with improved vision.
The budget: $10,000
The shortlist
Suzuki SX4 Hatch
Similar in size to the Lancer with an SUV-type design which allows for a high front seat position in addition to a seat height adjuster. The SX4 lives in the shadow of the popular Swift but is a reliable and safe vehicle with the added advantage of having a lot more interior space.
Mitsubishi Colt
Mitsubishi as a brand have come a long way in recent times. The Colt was part of the old school line-up that held the baton as the small car choice for new car buyers until its replacement, the all-new Mirage, entered showrooms recently.
Stick with NZ-new and make sure any pre-purchase inspection checks out the automatic transmission performance thoroughly. Not overly endowed with safety features.
Daihatsu Terios
You would only consider a vehicle like this if the seating position was better than anything else you had tried.
Its high ground stance makes entry and exit simple, with the added benefit of improved all-round vision.
The small 1.3 litre engine is probably all you need for your driving needs, although you may not like the spare wheel hanging off the rear door or enjoy the overall driving experience.
Driven recommends
Give the Suzuki SX4 a go. If the seats improve the comfort levels, then you should enjoy the rest of the vehicle.

Chancellor Steve Ballard, since his arrival in Greenville in May 2004, has focused on measures designed to enhance East Carolina University's role as the University For North Carolina. On an array of topics, from student success to research productivity to athletics, he has emphasized excellence and leadership.
While leading the fastest-growing university in North Carolina, Ballard has committed to providing every student with excellent training in the classroom, practical experiences in the community and region, and the opportunity to develop leadership skills. He has hired nationally known leaders in athletics, research, finance, and diversity. He has overseen a record-breaking building boom on campus and the addition of over 500 new faculty positions. New campus facilities under his administration include the East Carolina Heart Institute, the Family Medicine Center, the new School of Dentistry, and over $50 million in new athletic facilities.
His other strategic directions include providing classroom leaders for the 21st century for public schools in North Carolina and the rest of the nation; artistic and cultural leadership; economic development; and medical innovation.
Before joining East Carolina as the university's tenth chief executive, Ballard served as provost at the University of Missouri at Kansas City. Previous academic appointments had taken him from Oklahoma to the East Coast.
Ballard spent his childhood in Galesburg, Illinois, then attended the University of Arizona, where he graduated with distinction in 1970 with a bachelor's degree in history. As shortstop and captain of the University of Arizona baseball team, he earned three varsity letters and played in the College World Series during his senior year.
After earning his doctorate in political science from Ohio State University in 1976, he spent the next two years as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oklahoma. He spent thirteen years on the faculty at Oklahoma and, in 1987, he was named director of the prestigious research center, the Science and Public Policy Program. During the 1980's, he served on the City Council and in 1986 was elected Mayor Pro-Tempore of Norman, Oklahoma.
In 1989, he moved to the University of Maine as founding director of the Margaret Chase Smith Center for Public Policy, a post he held until 1998. While at the University of Maine, he also served as director of the University of Maine System/State Government Partnership Program from 1990 to 1992 and as chair of the Department of Public Administration from 1991 to 1994.
He was recruited to Ohio in 1998 as vice provost for research and dean of the Graduate School at Bowling Green State University. Three years later, he was named provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Missouri at Kansas City.
His teaching and research have centered on leadership in the public sector, research and development and the innovation process, public policy, and the utilization of scientific and technical knowledge. He has authored five books and more than one hundred professional articles and manuscripts on such topics as the innovation process, energy and natural resources, and managing growth and change.

Black hairy tongue is a temporary, harmless oral condition that gives your tongue a dark, furry appearance. The distinct look of black hairy tongue usually results from a buildup of dead skin cells on the numerous tiny projections (papillae) on the surface of your tongue that contain taste buds. These papillae, which are longer than normal, can easily trap and be stained by tobacco, food or other substances, and bacteria or yeast.
Although black hairy tongue may look alarming, typically it doesn't cause any health problems and is usually painless. Black hairy tongue usually resolves without medical treatment.

text: Ok folks I'm workin multiple angles to try and figure this out, but I'm bettin somebody here will have a faster answer!:great: I purchased the Volant Ram scoop to compliment my Volant CAI, but have yet to install it. Although VERY dry out here in the desert, it does rain occasionally. My issue is with the semi flooded streets and the ram scoop. See, I can tread 14" of water no problem in the truck, but the scoop opening would be below the waterline. I'm concerned that at 35-45mph, I may force water up into the intake box and cause myself some serious problems. I'm not overly confident that I will be "just fine" which is why I'm lookin for some fellow gear head guidance. IF it turns out to be an issue, I'll wait to install the scoop when I've figured out how to equip a decent plug for the opening. Would rather cap it from the outside instead of having to pull the filter out to cap it every time the moronic weather person says it MIGHT rain :grrrrrr: . Not sure if it's relevant, but I also have the Power Core filter installed. Cheers and thanks again! Oh, and if it turns out I need to plug the goram thing, I'd love to hear ideas! Thanks!!:sign0011:

If you haven't seen it it's on page 30 or so: http://www.unrealeng...mo_16x9_(2).pdf
Now the only thing I was wondering is this model as it is stated in the paper, is not normalized as it seems.
And as far as the code is concerned they only describe this factor for their area light sources.
Does anyone have an idea of what the correct normalization factor for this specific model would be for a regular punctual light source ?

Hi Guys,
I just read my copy of 'The Complete Mead Maker' and was wondering how you guys aerate your must. Stirring or sloshing was recommended. How would pouring the must through a strainer and into the fermenter work? Would that much aeration contaiminate the batch?
Getting closer to my first batch.

I ended up in New Orleans for a New Years one year with my Dad. We stayed at a great old New Orleans hotel. One thing that the travel guides don't mention is that after 100 years of service to the public and smokers there is no way to get that smell out of the walls. I had randomly put this candle in my bag and it worked out wonderfully. A great smell that did not get rid of the smoke smell but really helped. Very nice. I need to get another one and just keep it in my go bag.4

Eli hanging MM out to dry.

Not cool at all.

MH finds out he's wrong, finds out that Manningham DID screw up, so he MUST find some other way to diss Eli, your hate for this kid is unrivaled morehead.
I thought Eli was fine on Sunday. That kind of pick happens in the context of this offense.

Stop obsessing over me.

so now your blaming the offense for eli's interceptions?
who ALWAYS use to say that? I can't put my finger on it
I am blaming this specific pick on bad luck. The exact moment that MM faked inside was when Eli made the decision to throw the ball.

MM did nothing wrong. Eli threw into coverage but I'm not killing him for it either. Maybe he thought MM could make a play.

This is not the kind of play I have ever killed Eli for. Its the paniced throws in the face of a pass rush that have always driven me nuts.

That kind of playis very few and far between this season.

Nailing Palin. It was great, fabulous, fantastic to see Palin actually deserve to get eliminated from the competition. She wasn't a very good dancer and I didn't see that much of an improvement.

Paul Sheppard- Beekeeper/ Golf Course Superintendent
I have been a beekeeper since 1984 and worked with Africanized Honey Bees on the island of Trinidad in the Caribbean. I have and also had hives in California and presently work with a group of beekeepers on the island of St.Lucia. Since I am also a Golf Course Superintendent I have been linking beekeeping with Golf Courses by changing much of our maintenance practices in consideration of the bees. For example, in St.Lucia, we have converted 10% of the golf course to natural habitat and have been planting nectar producing shrubs and trees along roadsides and ditches. I teach beginning beekeeping both in person and online and help, almost anyone that asks with their hives. My wife and I moved to Black Mountain last year and I have become involved with the local Center for Honey Bee Research which has connected me to a wonderful and well informed group of beekeepers.

Growing Your Own Garlic Is Easy!
Fall is the time to plant, and no vegetable is so easy to grow and harvest.
As far as I'm concerned, garlic gets the blue ribbon for growing your own. It's absurdly easy to plant and care for; it tastes great; it looks beautiful and it takes up so little ground that even those with very small gardens can raise enough to be self-sufficient in garlic for a good part of the year.
All you have to do is choose the right varieties; plant at the right time, in the right soil; then harvest when just right and store correctly.
1. Choosing Types of Garlic
If you look in a specialist catalog like the one at Gourmet Garlic Gardens, you'll find dozens of varieties of garlic listed. The folks at Filaree Farm, who offer a hundred, divide them into seven groups: Rocambole, Purple Stripe, Porcelain, Artichoke, Silverskin, Asiatic Turban and Creole. Gourmet GG says it's 10 groups because they divide Asiatic from Turban and add Marbled Purple Stripe and Glazed Purple Stripe to the list.
You see where this is going – and you can see a lot more types of garlic on either of those websites, but for general purposes the most important difference is the one between softneck and hardneck.
Softnecks are so called because the whole green plant dies down to pliancy, leaving nothing but the bulb and flexible stems that are easy to braid.
Hardnecks have a stiff stem in the center that terminates in a beautiful flower – or cluster of little bulbs – then dries to a rigid stick that makes braiding impossible.
Softnecks, the standard garlics of commerce, are the easiest to grow in regions where the weather is mild. They keep longer than hardnecks, but they are less hardy and more prone to make small, very strong-flavored cloves. Hardnecks do best where there is a real winter and are more vulnerable to splitting – or simply refusing to produce – when grown in warm climates.
Gardeners in most of the U.S. can try some of both. Southerners should probably stick to softnecks and northerners to the hard ones, but microclimates matter. Specialty sellers will suggest best bets based on your climate and tastes, and of course it's wise to get some seed stock from your local farmers' market: whatever it is, it's growing where you are.

2. Planting Garlic
Growing garlic starts with knowing when to plant it. But planting itself is incredibly easy:
In mid-fall (around October 10 here in the Hudson Valley), plant garlic bulbs in loose, very fertile soil that's as weed-free as possible. Insert cloves root side down about 8 inches apart in all directions (if space is limited, you can squeeze by with 6), burying the tips about two inches down. Green shoots will come up; mulch around them with straw. Hard freeze will come and kill the shoots. Draw the mulch over the whole bed.
In spring, pull the mulch back when the new shoots emerge. Give them a shot of mixed fish emulsion and liquid seaweed. Keep them weeded. Water only if the soil is dry two or more inches down, being sure to avoid pouring water into the crowns of the plants.
3. Cutting Garlic Scapes
Both of us spent most of our gardening lives knowing it was important to cut off the flowering scapes of hardneck garlic so they wouldn't draw energy that should be spent making bulbs. Then I read a story about some garlic growing guru on Long Island who said it didn't matter a whit and he never bothered.
Well, it isn't really much bother; tender young scapes are delicious and older ones that have made pretty curls look wonderful in the vase. But still...
So we set up an experiment, easy because we always plant a long narrow raised bed with two parallel rows. We allotted 30 spaces in each row and planted the same variety – our saved household special – in both of them.
When they were about half grown, no longer super tender but not yet curly and tough, we set about cutting garlic scapes, but only from one row of the plants. At harvest, after trimming,
The cut row yielded: 15 jumbo heads, 14 medium, 1 small, with 9 cracked and 1 half-rotted.
The uncut row yielded 12 jumbo, 16 medium and 2 small, with 3 that were cracked and 1 that was half-cracked.
So, very close to a tie except for one thing: we got 5 pounds out of the cut row, 6.5 pounds out of the one we left alone.
Photo at right: Garlic scapes at the edge of our Maine garden.
Tips for cutting garlic scapes:
1. No harm in taking a few to eat, but don't wait until they're large. Most of the scapes I see for sale are bigger than the four-to-six inches long they should be for best flavor and texture.
2. No harm in cutting some for the vase, either, but don't take them too soon. If you wait until the tops are well developed you'll get, depending on variety, either:
a head of tiny garlic grains that can be used whole and unpeeled in place of minced garlic (for a week or two, after which the skins toughen), or
a clump of small round bulbs, called topsets, that can be stored all winter long and then planted close together in early spring to produce the garlic equivalent of scallions.

4. Harvesting Garlic
When to harvest garlic depends on the type. Garlic varieties are divided into early, midseason and late, but what that means depends not only on your climate zone but also on your climate in the growing year. Heat speeds 'em up, cold slows 'em down, and although the harvest window is wide if you plan to eat the garlic fresh, it's narrow if you want to ensure maximum storage life.
The bulbs are ready when most of the lower leaves have browned. The upper ones will still be green. If you've ever grown onions, it's easy to assume garlic is the same and you should wait until all the leaves have fallen over. Bad idea. By the time all the leaves are dead the bulbs will have split; they won't have the leaf sheathes they need to form wrappers and it's likely fungus disease will have found a way in.
"Lift the bulbs" is usually used to describe moving things like daffodils, but it's also a good way to think about harvesting garlic. Those heads are more delicate than they seem and any cut or bruise will shorten storage life.
Try to choose an overcast day when the soil is dry. Loosen the soil with a digging fork, inserting it well away from the heads, then lift them out of the row and place them in a flat carrier.
Photo: Garlic plants at optimum harvest stage
5. Curing Garlic
Let the whole plants dry in a single layer somewhere out of the sun where it's warm but not hot. When the outer skin is papery, brush off as much dirt as possible and clip the roots. Rush this a bit if you're braiding garlic stems; if you wait until they're completely dry they tend to crack and break.
The finished garlic will still be on the dirty side compared to anything commercial. We leave it that way until we want to use it because further cleanup can shorten storage life. If you can't bear the way it looks, try removing the outer layer of wrapper. You can wash the bulbs if you must and should be ok as long as they dry quickly and thoroughly, but if you ask me you're asking for trouble by pushing it this way.
Photo: Garlic curing in the warm dry barn.
6. Storing Garlic
How to store garlic? The at-home ideal for storing garlic is between 55 and 70 degrees, with moderate humidity and good air circulation, in the light but out of the sun. We keep our garlic stored in baskets in the cold closet (a.k.a. the inner cold room, an insulated section of the unheated sunporch next to Bill's office). Those less fortunate in the storage department can punt as necessary with good results as long as they avoid the refrigerator (excess cold leads to sprouting) and plastic bags (no air = high humidity = rot).
