Hello, Most likely. It will take some experimentation, though, to get the proportions right so that the resulting texture and taste pleases you. The proteins in the dairy products are what give the yogurt its texture. For comparison, let's look at the protein and carbohydrate amounts in various milk products (all measures in grams per cup of liquid):
Let's assume you'd want to use heavy cream, since it has the lowest carbohydrate content. It also has the lowest amount of protein, so, in theory, you'd need to supplement it with more nonfat dry milk than for whole-milk yogurt. But that also would boost the carbohydrate amount again, quite quickly. Instant nonfat dry milk has just over 35 g carbs/cup (unreconstituted), and regular nonfat dry milk has 62 g/C. One approach to this messy conundrum is to use heavy cream, and dilute it with some volume of water to thin the texture. (I have done this to substitute for milk in a pinch, and it has worked satisfactorily. I never bothered to measure the amount of water I added to the milk, though; I suggest starting with half of each and modifying as needed to get good results.) Begin with the suggested amount of nonfat dry milk in the recipe, and if needed alter that to get a taste and texture that you like. I'm sorry I don't have an easier answer for you. If your experimentation gives you a good result, please write me so that I can share it with others whose diets limit carbohydrate intake, but who want to eat yogurt.
Thanks, Mexican Mordidas
hi, Hello, Your friends are correct that you might lose some equipment, and/or be "taxed" on it in order to get it through to your destination. While traveling throughout the country, we saw lots of this sort of activity, and had packages sent to us through the post awfuls pretty heavily looted, too. On the other hand, I know of a chap who just made it all the way through the country with a fairly serious amount of stuff, including a composting toilet and an outboard motor, with absolutely nothing taken, and only small bribes required to pass through. If you want to have the best chance of keeping all your property, and minimizing the "mordidas" (that's what the Mexicans call them -- literally "bites"), you should have a Spanish-speaking individual make the trip with you. Even better would be a Mexican, whom you designate as the official spokesman at all stops. He (or she) will likely have greater success at minimizing/avoiding mordidas and confiscation than a gringo would.
Hope this helps, and that you enjoy the trip.

I'm glad you like them. It wasn't my intention to run so many of my own stories, but I want one work of fiction in every issue, and I'm just not getting enough from other writers. (HINT!)
Rating = Excellent
If you are looking to get one off-paper, only the 1858 Remington is useful. Converting it to use cartridges requires only a new cylinder (an unregistered part) while conversion of any other pistol model requires substantial modification of the frame (which requires a background check and registration by law).
Rating = Good Still got the gun I wanted, not two days after I was denied. Unfortunately, I had to find out all of this for myself, but it's nice to know that someone else is letting others know. Some people get denied by accident. I am living proof of this. Or is perhaps the government spying on my websurfing habits? Oh, shit, the telescreen is calling! Good article.
Rating = Excellent
Rating = Bad I see where you'ree coming from here, but you misunderstand me. When I recommend a particular source for something, I am recommending it for a specific item or type of item, not for everything. A gun shop or licensed dealer simply does not offer the desired product when a people are looking for guns that cannot be traced back to them. This doesn't mean that nothing should be bought from such a dealer. Dealers offer many very valuable products, including (as you mentioned) magazines and parts, as well as service and repairs (I prefer buying ammo online or at shows, as none of my local shops stock the ammo I usually want). Furthermore, sometimes it just doesn't matter much if a particular gun is registered, and in that case a dealer is a very good source for it. You are over-estimating the impact of the off-paper market niche - it's not going to put you out of business, nor would I want it to. If you're really concerned, though, you could always take the risk of fudging your books and illegally selling some guns off-paper.
On some other notes, I've had several other people mention that the SSN is optional on the 4473. That's correct, and I apologize for not making that clear. I'm not familiar with the state laws that you brought up - that was something that I evidently neglected to study enough, and for that I also apologize (I'll refund what you paid for the article if you like :) ).

Thanks. Certainly this can be done (AR-15s are particularly popular to build up from parts), but it gives you no advantage if you are trying to get a gun off-paper. The biggest reason people do it is to save money. For legal purposes, a bare receiver is equivalent to a complete firearm. All other parts can be purchased without any paperwork, but the receiver will be subject to the same regulation and registration as a complete firearm.
Rating = Bad My! I've never been called a muppet before.
So you think I'm soft, fuzzy, and cute? Thanks! I recently purchased a 12" square grill pan with the reverse side a griddle. It has a black (material?) handle. I have cleaned it throroughly to a gray color and now want to season it. I am worried about the handle and not small enough to fit into my convection oven. How do I season it without putting it into an oven? If the handle is black and it obviously isn't cast iron, the best bet is it's some phenolic handle. Those generally can stand going into the oven, although older ones, because of both wear and improvements in materials, may not be as hardy as newer ones. So, you could try putting it in the oven to season it, but with a careful eye on that handle.
Or, you could season it on a burner. This isn't as good a method,
because the heat comes from only one direction (and you can't oil
that surface), but it's a workable solution. Wipe a fairly generous
amount of oil onto the pan, covering all surfaces except that which
will be in contact with the burner. Place on a burner large enough to
distribute heat throughout the pan, turn to high, and allow to heat
thoroughly, watching carefully for smoking, or fire (a possibility if
you use too much oil). With your pan, once it's cooled down, you can
switch sides and repeat. You also may need to repeat the treatment
two or three times to get a good seasoning.
Rating = Excellent So how about a diagram for some greaves? Or maybe I should just use baseball catcher shin guards? We'll see; if I can't make this mag generate some cash, I may have to fire me.
If you're playing baseball, catcher's guards are fine. If you expect someone to be swinging a stick at your legs, they're quite inadequate; fact is, there's a pressure point at the top of the calf that cops are trained to swing for. Shin guards don't cover it, so I've decided to oblige you. Read on.
Rating = Excellent I have no idea as to how to get such a thing on the radio but it is a great idea.

Rating = Excellent I see many signs where YARD SALE will be huge but the address is tiny. Reverse that. People are driving by the sign at 25-35 MPH, they need to know the address , they already know that you are promoting a yard sale. Also do not use brown cardboard on which to write your sign. Since you will likely be using black ink there is not enough contrast between the two colors. To that end never use pencil on your sign, the color does not show up, and the letters are much to skinny. Do not use anything for your sign that already has writing on it, makes it look to jumbled. What I do is use neon colored (orange usually)construction paper with thick black marker, I write the address first and as big as possible then I write YARD SALE in the free space under the address. I also use the same color for all my signs and post signs of that color at the end of my driveway so that drivers can use the color as a clue and follow the signs like they would bread crumbs. One last thing, when placing your signs on a pole make sure they are at the driver's eye level or just a little above. Some people place their signs so high a person would have to crane their neck up while driving, which is not a good situation. Make it easy on the drivers to see the sign and the address! Another last thing, when the sale is over go get your signs! You can use them again, and you won't have people coming by the next weekend looking for the sale that was last weekend. To make sure I know where all my signs are I mark their locations on a map and then use that map to retrieve them.
Hello, Pardon the delay in responding; I don't check comments on year and a half old articles very often. First off, according to the Declaration of Independence, my rights come from the Creator, not some goon with a machine gun and a ski mask. You might want to study up on the Constitution and Declaration of Independence if you're still under the impression they're in effect anymore. Tell you what; next time some goon in BDUs threatens to bust my ass for daring to carry a driver's license from, and have my vehicle tagged in, my home state, I'll try to remember that he's really only giving me some rights, not violating rights instilled in me by the Creator as Thomas Jefferson claimed. Yeah, I am aware that pople died on 9/11. I also have a fairly good (intellectual) understanding of why those psychos believed they were acting in response to American aggression, and how decades of victim disarmament made it possible. But back to that pesky little Constitution, and the US gov, which you mistakenly think "give" us rights. Seriously, read that Constitution; even when it was in effect, it didn't grant rights. Rights pre-existed the Constitution, which was created to delegate certain limited powers to the gov and strictly forbade it to screw around with people's rights. Not the same thing at all, bucko. Govs have a tendency to take rights, and the Constitution (and specifically the Bill of Rights) was a sad attempt to prevent the US gov doing that. Your government is terrible because it refuses to obey its own basic rulebook (your Constitution), your prez illegally wages war on innocents (3,240 civilians killed, per an AP audit of just 60 of 124 hospitals; the total is undoubtedly much higher), your goonish ckekists of the TSA sexually assault what few travelers are still willing to risk facing them, your Supreme Court just authorized the use of torture and has declared that you have no right to privacy, your police departments think it's fine to assault women and hack their fingers off... Boy, if you can't figure out that your gov is out of control and waging domestic war on you, I can't help you; you're completely clueless. Or maybe you like a police state, because you think you'll be on top.
I didn't refuse to send you an email because I lack answers; I refused because I'm tired of explaining facts to fascist drones.
Rating = Excellent More importantly, if I am going to be bombarded with electronic waves from a satellite sending signals of "entertainment" on my property I should be able to (1) demand that the broadcasters remove transmissions, or, (2) we should be able to receive them without being to "pay" for them. They are the ones trepassing. What about a stoppage of traffic to Penal institutions for a day or so before executions. Use our rights to the public highways to stop the murders. ["One is just as murdered be it a gun or gavel." Neal Pharis] Want to stop our Military-Industrial Complex? Stop our selling of arms to various countries only to have them used against us and our future genrations later. Select a corporation whose primary product is the manufacturing of military weapons which is traded publically. Start a buying and selling campaign of its publically traded stock. Such trading would create surges - it would develope an unpredictable swing to the normal stock traders, such a group of "SIG traders" would create and inept the company in the stock market, therefore, its capital to operate would evaporate. Such a plan would not require coordination. It would not require a large brokerage house nor large investors. Just random, small investors trading several - one, two, or three shares each individually at varing and uncoordinated times - at the whims of their moods and free time. The stock's volatility would ruin creditablity of the company with traditional and conventional traders. They would get the ax from the larger house due to their unpreditablity. The same can be applied to many other industries harming our freedoms, those who ignore animal rights in testing their products, deplete and pollute our natural resources for profits. We still not only have the freedom to live in a country where we can vote with our ballots, our feet but also with our dollars as well. It would all be too easy. There are so many social issues we should pursue. Your thoughts are right on target!!
