I've used this many times over the past couple of years. Biscuits, breading for fried chicken, low carb brownies, etc. If you are following a low carb lifestyle, this is a great substitute for white flour-laden products. It does have a different taste, and a little aftertaste, but if you are doing the low carb thing, you're probably already familiar with that. I use this for anything I would usually use Bisquick for. I hadn't had a biscuit in over a year when I tried this...I was so glad I found it. Carbalose- the flour they use, is also available from some sites by itself- You can use this in even more recipes.

This is the worst low-carb product I have ever purchased. When using it to make pizza crust, I could not even cover half the pizza pan, and the taste was horrible. I used it to make biscuits, and they were incredibly dry and had no flavor. I tried again, adding some margarine, and they still tasted awful. I tried to make pancakes, and the batter was as thick as cement. I tried adding more liquid, but they were horrible. I cannot imagine how this product is still on the market. Krusteaz used to make WONDERFUL low-carb baking products, so I know it can be done. This stuff, however, is awful.
Rating: - Not Bad So Far
I've only used this product to make pancakes so far, but so far, so good. Except of course for the first attempt. When I mixed the batter according to the package directions, it appeared WAAAY too thick to possibly make pancakes. Sooooo... I added and added and added liquid until it seemed like pancake consistency. DO NOT DO THIS! That first batch, although the crumbs tasted just fine, didn't hold together, couldn't be flipped without the entire thing falling apart, and frankly made a huge mess. Entirely my fault, admittedly. I plan to try using it for pizza dough and deep-fry coating soon.

The pancake that I have for years been searching for! Nice and crispy on the outside. Scrumptious.
Rating: - Just like the "real" thing!
I bought this mix to help curb some of my cravings for "regular" breads. I tried the simplist recipe on the box - drop biscuits, just add water and bake. My biscuits didn't rise as much as those in the picture on the box, but they tasted so delicious! Even my kids devoured them. A great staple for the carb-conscious person. I recommend highly.
A particularly optimistic design firm in Dubai called Timelinks has proposed designs for the Ziggurat, a complete city to be layered inside of a massive pyramid that could serve as home for a million people at a time. Timelinks is currently seeking patents for a variety of technologies that would make such a building possible, including a three axis public transportation system that would run residents up, through and across the pyramid. They've also claimed that with a hybrid wind, solar and steam power the Ziggurat would be able to meet its own power needs, and that there would be enough room to allow for some minor agriculture in designated "green spaces."
Before you just write this off as another wacky internet design concept, consider the absurdly ostentatious structures that Dubai has already built, and the fact that unlike the hyperluxurious ego-boosters currently under construction, the Ziggurat might be a viable housing solution for people who don't have a natural resource-infused trust fund.

Using a simple Hibernate Interceptor, updating audit trail fields in a database (such as created_by, created_on, updated_by, and updated_on) can be accomplished with no changes to your application code. In other words, you won't need to and definitely should not be manually setting those audit properties littered around your application code.
Three days before the three-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's landfall, the Gulf of Mexico braces for another storm that could hit the energy industry particularly hard. Kinetic Analysis Corporation, a disaster risk-management company, estimates that there is a one-in-three chance that Gustav will hit with sufficient force to shut down 10 percent or more of total U.S. oil production this year.
