Anderson Germany has done it again. The German tuner has unveiled another remarkable tuning package for the Audi R8 V10 . After the Racing Edition unveiled last year, the tuner has now brought forth the Hyper-Black Edition. As its name suggests, the Hyper-Black edition comes in a smooth black exterior, but it also combines that exterior with different orange inserts and an impressive engine boost to the tune of an extra 64 HP.
The standard version of the R8 V10 delivers 525 HP, but with the added boost, Anderson Germany was able to get a total output of 589 HP. This was accomplished with a Rennkats exhaust system, a software optimization, and an air filter modification. Alongside the engine mods is a carbon fiber package that helps to reduce the car's total weight. So far, nothing has been said about the car's performances, but we can only imagine what this car is now capable of doing.
Hit the jump to read more about the Audi R8 V10 Hyper-Black Edition by Anderson Germany.
Exterior and Interior
The Hyper-Black Edition by Anderson Germany is obviously painted in a sinister mirror black color called Hyper Black. Next to this dark side is some carbon fiber which has been appropriately added to the front spoiler lip, rear spoiler for improved downforce, rear diffuser, and mirror. Orange brake calipers provide for a small highlight against the dark exterior. The car sits on a new set of exclusive carbon-coated 19-inch rims painted in the same black with edging in Racing Orange.
For the interior, the tuner is offering matte black carbon fiber leather combined with orange Alcantara. The carbon fiber is used for the handbrake handle, radio visor, ashtray, handles of the seat adjustment, door panels, and side panels of the center console and shifter surround.
Any car that has received this many carbon fiber additions will obviously get a boost in performance as well. Helping that boost along is a Rennkats exhaust system which saves 22kg (48lbs) of weight, a software optimization, and an air filter modification. These additions and modifications help the engine pump out 589hp, up from the standard 525hp.
The sounds of the engine have also been given some extra incentive with a remote-controlled valve adjusting system that allows the driver to choose from three different levels of noise.
Anderson Germany has yet to reveal any pricing details for their new Audi R8 package.
Ever since its official launch, the Audi R8 V10 has seen lots of tuning packages. As previously stated, this is already the second package from Anderson Germany alone. Their first package, the Racing Edition , received a power increase from 525 to 585 HP, while also getting some significant exterior updates. Both of these packages work just fine for the avid R8 enthusiast, but the most impressive package comes from a little tuning firm called MTM.
The R8 V10 Biturbo by MTM is the package for the R8 simply because it delivers no less than 777 HP! With these updates, the MTM R8 is able to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds, from 0 to 124 in 9.37 seconds, and will hit a top speed of 217 mph. Clearly, MTM gets our vote.
- Black + Orange = HOT
- Carbon fiber elements
- Significant engine boost
- No words on the car's performance
- There are better tuning packages available

Ordered by: Robert Ronald Atworth
Dressing on the side, please. I'm watching my figure.
Date of Meal: 12/14/1999
Meal: Grilled chicken salad with ranch dressing, nachos and cheese with picante, cookies and cream ice cream, and 2 root beers
Participants: Eric, Ashish, Bhavi
Clockwise from left: Cucumber (1), A&W Root Beer (6), Breyers Cookies & Cream, Hidden Valley Ranch, Goya Picante Salsa, Lettuce (1 head), Herr's Multi-grain tortilla chips (1 bag), chicken breasts, tomatoes (3)
The obligatory cheese mugshot. Also, forgot to include it in the original ingredients pic.
This week Kat wasn't able to make it to dinner, because she's been working like a dog (heh) this past week and has been exhausted. The show must go on, however, and so my favorite newlyweds, Ashish (@awwsheesh) and Bhavi, were my guests for this week. I sent them the Excel spreadsheet that I had taken from the website we're using, with all of the "none requested"s taken out, which is by the way still at about 204 requests, and asked them to take a look and make a request. It's a pretty daunting task, and as Ashish said, "This is like one of those restaurants with everything on the menu. I hate that." He's referring to what I often term "selection anxiety." I ran through the list and tried to come up with a few choices that I thought we could handle, because I was pretty sure that between the three of us, none of us possessed the skills to cook proficiently outside of our wheelhouse. This meant nothing with collard greens, grits, ribs, or chili. We've already done a steak and a burger, so we wanted to mix it up a little. There was also one last thought: I didn't want anything that involved fries. Kat's fries are just too good; I couldn't cheat on them with an inferior mistress. We settled on the salad and nachos because that seemed like something we could tackle, and for other reasons you'll see in the Q&A section.
Before I get to the assembling of ingredients, a word about one of our guests. I've known Ashish since high school, and have taken 2 man-cations with him, and there's a particular philosophy he has that I thought would be interesting for this project in particular. Ashish doesn't like meals. He likes to eat, sure, but he's more of a utilitarian eater. He eats for energy and to stop hunger. He doesn't enjoy spending a lot of time sitting and eating as an activity in itself. There were a few times on vacation where we'd be doing stuff all day, and at around 4pm I'd start getting moody and impatient without knowing why. Then I'd realize we hadn't eaten since early that morning, and Ashish would have a wicked smile when I mentioned this, because he'd gotten us to skip a meal that day. What a dick. Me, I belong in a completely different group. Over summer break from college, I would take a road trip with friends to Philly just to get a Pat's cheesesteak, and we'd stop for lunch at Roy Rogers at the rest stop on the way. We used to call these "Fat Trips". So how would Ashish be able to appreciate a last meal? Would he just want a sandwich he could nosh on during the walk to the chair? Would he get the guards to forget that they were supposed to ask him? Then, as they're strapping him in they'd go, "Wait a minute, did we ever ask you what you wanted to eat?" and he'd just smile that grin of his right before they flick the switch.
While this meal seemed pretty easy to prepare for, there were a lot of those ambiguous terms that encounter different readings when you mentally transform your kitchen into a prison kitchen. Salad. Ashish said, "We obviously have to go with iceberg. They wouldn't do better than that." We decided that cucumbers and tomatoes were probably the minimum ingredients for a salad that someone who doesn't give a crap would put in, although if we go off of the standard set by restaurants, I bet we could have included some shredded carrot, aka "salad confetti". For the nachos, we wanted to get the round chips, like what you would find in a movie theater or at a ballgame. I had no idea what "picante" was as a noun, but we looked it up on Urban Dictionary and it turns out it's just a type of salsa that's spicy. Ashish and Bhavi were going to host at their place, and they had salsa, but it looked way too bougie for our purposes, so we set our goals for something like Pace (or in this case, Goya). We also went with the decision to leave out sour cream, guacamole, beans, meat, and other nacho accoutrements. Bhavi suggested american cheese to melt over it, which I took to be her commitment to the spirit of prison food, but I discovered later that she just really likes american cheese. Like, she picks it as her cheese for a lot of situations. Yuch. The following is a transcript of the cheese discussion Ashish and I had:
Ashish: We should get one of those mixed cheese bags of "mexican cheese". It's usually chedder and jack mix, I think.
Eric: Oh yeah, definitely. Good idea about the mixed cheese bags. We finally found something that Associated or Met is good for. (that's a New York supermarket joke, for you out-of-towners…according to Google Analytics, all 0 of you.)
We began to divvy up the tasks, and that's when Bhavi piped up with, "So how do you grill chicken?" I felt a wave of relief that I hadn't just made the assumption that the three of us were all novice chefs. Ashish took on the chicken (meat detail, or "meatail") while Bhavi and I worked on the salad.
Kind of looks like he's got his magic chicken wand out, right? Right??
Cooking tip for this week: always season your meat. Also, sometimes pan frying is exactly the same as grilling, especially when you don't have a grill handy.
Bhavi on tomatoes. I never know the right way to cut those things for salads.
That's my "I'm a-peeling" face.
The real star of this week: a peeler. Works so much better than a knife. Yes, I am this obvious.
Since the salad was coming together pretty quickly, it was time to make the nachos. I devised a system I will totally endorse right now: the layering system. It works great. First, one layer:
Chips plus cheese.
Now put the salsa on. That salsa had absolutely no viscosity. If I had hit it hard enough, it would have come out shaped exactly like the bottle, quivering slightly (yeah, picture that for a second). Also, doesn't that pile of chicken breasts look, I don't know, obscene?
Second layer. No idea what I'm laughing at here.
Now onto some finished shots:
What a motley crew. They look like all the cousins' spouses hanging out at a family reunion. But hey, not bad looking nachos, eh? Eh? (nudge)
As opposed to Casa Silver, Bhavi and Ashish have a real dining table. We ate like adults today! (not pictured: The roommate back at my apartment watching Top Chef: All Stars)
Your meal is served. We'll keep the Pepcid AC on hand, JIC.
The Meal
We originally had candles going, but that felt weird, like a cross between an anniversary dinner for the three of us and a séance. We went with electric lighting and listened to Pinkerton in honor of the Weezer concert this month that we slept on but would have probably really enjoyed.
1. What do you think he did?
Ashish read about him beforehand, so he was out of the discussion.
Bhavi: Nothing so terrible.
Eric: Remember he got the death penalty.
Ashish: There's only one way you get on Death Row.
Bhavi: Ok, he murdered women. Two sisters.
Ashish: Right, nothing so terrible. Just women.
Eric: Now you're over-compensating, Bhavi. I think this meal is different from the others in that it's got a lot of variety, and I think the salad means he might have considered how he would feel after the meal. I think it was a planned crime. Kidnapping resulting in murder.
Bhavi: I think he's a man who enjoyed his kill.
Eric: Flip-flopper. (also, Bhavi and Ashish just discovered Dexter, if that informs any of this) Ashish, what did he do?
Ashish: He robbed and murdered some guy, and threw him by some dumpsters. Multiple gun shots to the head, torso, and groin. There were also knife wounds to the abdomen and chin, and his right pinkie had been severed so Atworth could steal his ring. (pinkie ring? Seriously??) Atworth was arrested while burglarizing another residence later, and was found driving around the dead guy's car. I think he ordered this meal because he's stupid.
Eric: Yeah, I guess there are very disparate choices. Cookies and Cream and Ranch?
Ashish: Cookies and Cream, the simple man's ice cream. Actually, (laughs) I like Cookies and Cream.
For the sake of honesty, Ashish couldn't remember all of the details of the crime, so I'm reading about the wounds for the first time now. Gun and knife wounds? Do you think he ran out of bullets, or did he start with the knife first and was like, "This is taking WAY too long."
2. What are your first impressions?
Bhavi: This is simple man comfort food (also noteworthy, Bhavi grew up in a vegetarian household, and had her first two steak dinners only about a month ago. So her definition of comfort food might vary slightly)
Ashish: Better than I expected. This looks like the kind of prepared salad I pass by in the supermarket and won't get. But the nachos look like what I grew up with. But altogether I'm not happy with this meal. It's a salad I would never eat.
Bhavi: I'm ok with the nachos. It's a texture thing. The salad is super bland. I thought he was being smart with the salad before.
Ashish: Yeah, I usually like more stuff.
Bhavi: I bet you he was disappointed when he saw this salad.
Eric: Can we fault him for getting prison salad? I mean, he wants a salad, that's fine. After all the meat I've been eating doing this, I was pretty excited for something that I thought might actually be healthy for me. But this is probably not his first salad in prison. He knows they're not delivering on the salad promise. This isn't a Cosi salad we're talking about. It's prison-salad. So I think he could have planned better. But I will say this is the closest thing to a last meal so far, in that it seems like a greatest hits collection. Nothing goes together here, unlike the last two meals which seemed like conventional "you're not necessarily going to die today" meals.
Note: Bhavi was showing tonight's menu to a friend and her comment was, "Doesn't look very healthy," which gave us a laugh. You know what else isn't healthy? Lethal injections. I think you can splurge a little. You don't get to use leftover Weight Watchers points in the afterlife.
3. How close is this to what you would have picked for your own last meal?
Bhavi: I like the diversity. Spicy, crunchy, cheesy, crisp, meaty. Before I die, I want my taste buds to go wild. I want different textures, flavors, and taste.
Eric: Wow, I'm glad that was coming to a point. For a second I thought you were just going to keep rattling off food adjectives.
Ashish: This is as far as you could get from my last meal. I want no salad on my plate. When I let myself go, I eat fries usually. I want indulgent things. I love nachos, but they would need more stuff. I'd want international food, but lots of different things. I don't want to eat Mexican food and suddenly realize I would want some Indian food.
Bhavi: Yeah, a taste of different flavors and textures from all over the world.
Eric: A wedding cocktail hour.
Ashish: Death Row tapas!
Eric: Yeah, I don't think I'd get any of these things, except maybe the dessert, but we'll get to that later. By the way, Ranch dressing? What is that even made of? Not a fan.
Bhavi: New York on Flavor of Love loved Ranch dressing.
Eric: Oh god, some guy ate it off of her toe. Yeah, not my thing.
4. What are the strong elements? What are the weak elements?
Ashish: I liked the nachos and the picante sauce. It was surprisingly pretty spicy. My mouth is on fire right now.
Eric: I thought the chicken with the Ranch dressing actually tasted pretty good. The Ranch accentuated the pepper in the chicken. Also, the root beer. I love root beer.
Bhavi: Yeah, root beer is way better than Dr. Pepper.
Ashish: I think Dr. Pepper is what cancer would taste like.
Ashish: I think the salad is definitely the weakest part. A darker leaf might have been good. One that doesn't taste like water.
Eric: Yeah, like spinach.
Ashish: And the dressing. I don't like Ranch.
Eric: It's way too creamy. (Note: I'll actually request Ranch in one situation. To dip cheese fries smothered in gravy in. If you haven't had this, get drunk immediately and hit up a diner. You can thank me after the EMTs have revived you)
Ashish: Actually, my salad gets a little more exciting every time picante gets into it. I'm getting that mixture of spicy that makes it more than just a normal salad.
5. How does the meal work as a whole? Were there any unexpected surprises in the pairings?
Bhavi: 2/3 work. The root beer and the nachos.
Eric: What about the ice cream?
Bhavi: Oh yeah, the ice cream will go well with the root beer.
Fast-forward to later in the night, when I decided to do a root beer float with my second can and the ice cream.
This would probably make it onto my Last Meal menu. Root beer floats are happiness in a frosted mug.
Bhavi and Ashish like theirs naked. Although Bhavi then poured some root beer in toward the end.
Now back to the questions.
Ashish: The picante salsa and the salad. That worked well for me. I also enjoy nachos a lot. Like, more than I would a pizza. (strong words, since Ashish claims he's always in the mood for pizza) The nachos and the salad together feels like a taco.
Eric: And the Ranch is like the sour cream. It's like a Wylie Dufresne taco.
Bhavi: Deconstructed!
Eric: Or maybe just not constructed.
At this point we all felt very uncomfortable. The combo of the root beer and the nachos made us feel sluggish. I suggested we wait a little while before dessert, at which point they suggested "Just Dance" for the Wii. If you haven't played it, this game is amazing. You go head to head and follow the dancer on the screen. We did this for close to an hour, until we were sweating and had to open a window. Also, this is typical for the Ashish/Bhavi household. Going over is like being allowed to sleep over at your friend's house. One time I went over at about midnight to hang out with Ashish while Bhavi was sleeping. We woke her up at 2am when we were doing karaoke duets to try to get a high score on their karaoke machine (you see what I mean?) and she came out, grabbed a mike, and joined in, talking smack about how we were out of tune. So for the future first Mrs. Eric out there, I hope this sounds good to you, because I now have a new ideal to strive for.
6. How satisfied are you after the meal?
Eric: Dancing helped. Ice cream right after the meal would have killed me.
Ashish: I feel full. Almost too full. It didn't help to take seconds.
Bhavi: It's not my choice, but not terrible. The cheese, Ranch, soda, and ice cream packed together would have been too much.
7. Is there anything you're craving after this?
Ashish, Bhavi, and Eric: Sleep.
Ashish: Nothing food-wise.
8. Was there anything missing you would have liked?
Ashish: Some sweet element to the salad. There was also no real bread.
Eric: Guacamole. Better nachos fixings.
Ashish: I would have made the nachos the meal and the salad the side part.
Bhavi: The salad was weak.
9. What does this do for you state of mind? Do you feel more at peace?
Ashish: No, I feel like I ate dinner.
Bhavi: I'm satisfied, so I'm at peace.
Ashish: I won't be uncomfortable. I can go to sleep and not be hungry. I'm not gassy or anything.
Bhavi: Not yet.
Eric: Just Dance got the gasworks going, I think.
10. Ready to die??
Ashish: Sure.
Eric: Yeah?
Ashish: No. I wouldn't drive around the guy's [I murdered] car. This isn't what I wanted to begin with.
Bhavi: Especially that salad.
Ashish: You know I packed that for you for lunch tomorrow, right?
Eric: Yeah, I'm not ready to die at all. But that root beer float came close for me. The salad was a trailer park salad, though.
Ashish: Yes, definitely a trailer park salad. I packed some for you to have for lunch tomorrow, too.
Eric: Thanks.
Lessons Learned
I think the big lesson here is that I think we've come up with a big counter-argument to what I assume is the great culinary debate of greatest hits vs. meal cohesiveness. Sometimes a lot of different things that seem to have no relation to each other go well together, like nachos and salad or a Paul Thomas Anderson movie. We also learned the importance of textures intermingling, as well as savory, sweet, sour, and spicy (and whatever other adjectives Bhavi wants to rattle off). Also, international food! Huge addition to the discussion. And finally, we learned that Bhavi considers a salad to be "comfort food". Yeah, maybe for a rabbit. Thanks to Bhavi and Ashish for filling in today, and hosting me at their house. It was an awesome dinner, and I think in the future we'll have a few more larger meals in the club.
Since many of you will be home and eating like gluttons over the next few days, send us what was on your menus, and even some photos if you can. Let's see some of your greatest hits.
And finally, happy holidays from the LSC. If we don't do a meal next week, we'll see you in the new year.
Eric and Kat (and Ashish and Bhavi)

Middle and High Schools
All May long: the Bike to School Challenge!
The Bike to School Challenge is great for new riders, providing the support and incentive to make the transition to regular bike commuting smooth, easy, and fun! Experienced cyclists often relish the competition that comes with tracking biking minutes and the chance to convince classmates to ride. By riding your bike, you are reducing the amount of CO2 that you put in our air, improving your health, and arrive at school awake and ready to learn! Plan your route ahead of time if you've never done it before. You can organize a group of friends to ride to school together and compete for cool prizes. Most importantly, ride and have fun!
- Grand prize: The high school student with the most minutes biked during the month of May will win the grand prize--a registration for you and one adult to the sold-out Seattle to Portland bike ride on July 12 and 13!
- More grand prizes!!!: Middle school students logging more than 240 minutes for the month will be entered into a drawing for a new Raleigh bike! One lucky winner will pedal home on their new wheels!
Weekly drawings: All registered middle and high school students logging their minutes will be entered into weekly drawings for prizes like U-locks for their bikes, t-shirts, bike helmets, or an Ortlieb messenger bag.
Free t-shirt: Students that commute more than 240 minutes to school during of the month of May will receive one of our cool long-sleeve bike month t-shirts!
- Golden Pedal award: If your middle or high school logs more trips than any other, the extremely prestigious and spectacular Golden Pedal Trophy will be awarded for your achievement! There is an award for elementary, middle, K-8, and high schools, so make sure to ride every day and get your friends on bikes too! Winners will be announced at the Bike to School awards ceremony on June 14th at the Seattle Children's Hospital Bike Month Wrap-up celebration.
New for middle school students!
Rally your robotics club, debate team, ultimate frisbee, or community service group to sign up as a team for Bike to School month. By tracking the number of minutes biked to school throughout May, your group will have the chance to earn an overnight bike trip with Cascade staff and instructors! Teams must have a minimum of 5 members, maximum of 12, and a faculty advisor to report rides. The team with the most accumulated minutes during Bike to School month will win the grand prize! Trip date will be mutually determined with the winning team.
To register your team, have your parent or teacher email Shannon Koller at firstname.lastname@example.com to create your team account. You will log your minutes individually while helping your team accumulate minutes toward the team challenge.
Middle and high school students register on Cascade's Bike to School website, reporting your number of minutes biked every week to school or around your neighborhood. Middle school students need to register with a parent's email address. Students who choose to compete will create a user name (not their full name) to protect your privacy. We will only use your email address to keep you informed about the challenge, to send you updates and reminders, or other relevant information.
You must enter your minutes in order to get credit for them! We will reach out to all registered students by email each week (on 5/9, 5/16, 5/23, 5/30) to invite you to report your minutes for the week. At the end of the month, we will tally the numbers, announce winners and award prizes! Interested in tracking your miles too? This online tool will help.
With your help, we look forward to exceeding one million minutes in motion this year!
Frequently Asked Questions
It's mid-May and the Bike to School Challenge is already in full swing; can I still participate? Of course! Register any time during the month and be eligible for prizes.
What if I bus or carpool? Can I still participate? For some, combining the bike with other modes of transportation is the best way to work in a bike ride. Ride your bike to the bus stop and put your bike on the bus to and from school.
I feel unsafe riding my bike to school because I would have to cross many busy streets, but I love riding my bike. Can I still participate? We understand. Safety comes first. Ride your bike to soccer practice, to the library, or to a friend's house on streets where you feel more comfortable and can get to your destination safely. All of these minutes spent biking count toward your monthly total!
How are the minutes I report authenticated? We trust you to report the accurate number of minutes biked for the week. You will feel proud of your accomplishments knowing that the numbers reflect your effort!
May 7: Bike to School Day
If you are new to riding, join thousands of kids across the nation and ride on Bike to School Day on Wednesday, May 7.

49ers on offense: Colin Kaepernick presents a unique challenge. The 49ers quarterback with the howitzer arm and the legs of a gazelle had his NFL coming-out party against the Packers last Saturday, throwing for 263 yards and rushing for 181 — including a 56-yard TD run. Kaepernick, who shrugged off an early pick-6, is extremely competitive. He is a great athlete and can demoralize a defense with his ability to improvise — just when you think he's in your grasp, he's escaped the pocket and moved the chains. He will make some poor decisions and poor throws, but he has talented receivers in Michael Crabtree (he has good speed and strong hands), Randy Moss (you know all about him), and tight end Vernon Davis (he's a beast after the catch). Frank Gore is one of the toughest runners in the NFL. He runs low, with his shoulders square, and always finishes by delivering a blow. LaMichael James has excellent quickness and breakaway speed.
Falcons on defense: Atlanta has a talented trio of linebackers in Akeem Dent (a great name for a defender?), Sean Weatherspoon, and Stephen Nicholas. The secondary is loaded with ballhawks, including Asante Samuel and Thomas DeCoud.

Mark Wahlberg Spotted Rockin' Air Jordan 3 '88 Retro
Mark Wahlberg + AJ 3 88 Retro
Most of us may know by now that the Air Jordan 3 '88 Retro finally released yesterday. It had most of us patiently waiting in front of the computer for a chance to buy a small piece of Jordan Brand history. And with most hyped Air Jordan releases, these AJ3′s sold out fast.
For longtime sneaker enthusiast and Academy Award nominee , Mark Wahlberg, getting a pair of Air Jordan's has become second nature to him. So it's not a surprise that he already has a pair of Air Jordan 3 '88 Retro in his possession. He was recently spotted rockin' a pair while arriving at an airport.
Let us know in the comment section below how the Air Jordan 3 '88 Retro release went for you.

Win the SPAM Arms Race
by Dan Benjamin
78 Reader CommentsBack to the Article
How about providing people a form rather than a textlink? I always prefer being independent of a mail client when I want to contact someone.
It seems there is an ultimate kick for some simple creatures to fill your forms with firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com but that is the problem of your backend script to filter that out. Especially with PHP a small mail() script is sooo easy to do.
A thing I consider completely useless are forms with mailto: actions.
To add to the idea of putting some NOSPAM or alikes in the textlink, I practice that myself but found that also writing something in the message body should help even slow people to grasp the idea:
mailto:you@***NOSPAM***server.org?subject=Contact&body=Please remove the NOSPAM in the email, this is to prevent spamming, thank you
cool article by the way and the http://www.hivelogic.com/safeaddress/ online tool is such a nice idea.
For anybody who is considering replacing their MAILTO with a feedback form make sure not to include your email address anywhere in the html. This is accomplished by not using javascript and instead using an old fashioned form/cgi combination. I know that in PHP it is very easy to do, because there is a built in "mail" function so all in all it shouldn't take more than a minute or two of coding. This is the method I would recommend if you have PHP on your server…
<cfset #mymail# = email@example.com>
I was just wondering whether spambots like ssl-pages or not. For my pages I use ssl-encryption and a form mailer for those paranoid people who like to contact me by email. But nevertheless because of my hosting service, I have to use their form mail script (cannot run custom cgi) and put the adress in a hidden field in the code.
Another great website providing a more permanent throw-away address is http://www.spamgourmet.com/ which allows you to create an infinite number of limited-use addresses which forward to your reall address.
It's worth a look.
If you use Apache and want to block the most used spambots, then read this discussion (very good!):
Also, if you happen to use ColdFusion as your scripting engine, then here's a function that converts emails to safe format:
Matt Wilkie
It wouldn't be difficult to add a check box to the mail form so that users could choose to have a copy of their message sent to themselves.
Just a little additional info on a free online tool that will automatically scramble your email address into ASCII:
I refuse to put a mailto link of any form on my personal website. I get a good deal of spam from doing that through a variety of different practices and attempts to evade the spam-harvesters. I use a form oriented approach for emails; a simple HTML/CSS bit that sends all data to a php script which emails me directly.
Using this script I can limit the number of emails a person sends (no war-emailing) and can have it go to any email address I specify. If I wanted; I can then reply to this person if warranted and everything is fine and not a single spam-bot gets my email address. I have control over who KNOWS my email address and who does not.
Now, if I need to use an email address in any post or public forum; I'll use a cheap disposable hotmail account. :)
the solution xavier gave on the previous page is the perfect one, if relying on javascript is not a problem. It's fantastically easy to code and would be prohibitvely hard to scan for. I was looking to see if anyone suggested it before I posted it too.
as far as the problem with form based emails not going in your visitor's records (a real problem for some, inclduing me), if you have a sufficiently savy audience you could offer (with a checkbox) to copy the email to the sender as well for filing.
-wg <><
Dan writes that he believes the best solution is to use both numerical equivalents and JavaScript wrapping.
This solution has a few flaws:
Second, what happends if someone decides to use a harvester which understands numerical equivalents and Javascript wrapping (One might argue that many spammers are too stupid to think of such things, but that's another discussion entirely.) – Voila, another email address to add to the spammer's list.
I believe the final solution to this problem is also one of the simpler ones: A feedback form. There are numerous scripts for virtually any platform out there that will create and send emails based on form input.
For Linux and other *nix platforms there are the formmail scripts (Just don't use older versions of Matt Wrights formmail scripts, as they allow your server to be exploited as spam-sending source by virtually anyone), which I presume use sendmail and/or other smtp-daemons. (I'm not very well versed in the realms of *nix, but I know just enough to be dangerous.)
For Win32, there are numerous components that can be installed and used for sending email. NT4 and 2000 even comes with a set of components that include a SMTP-component, namely CDONTS (Just don't rely on it too much, because this feature will be replaced by CDO in .Net Server, which will require modifications.). You rarely see a Windows webhost who does not boast such a component.
In many cases, the responsibility for creating the form and the script to parse the form falls upon the webdesigner or -developer. For those, I have one bit of advice: Do not put the recipients email address in a hidden field in the form or somesuch, because that will give away the email address to some harvesters. You should rather place the email address as a variable in the script itself or in a database and only refer to it with with an ID in the form.
Right now, I am, on my own website (As linked by my name above), using mailto:-links, but this has to end very soon, as I have already now (After about one month) started to recieve spam on the email addresses mentioned there. I am going to replace these with forms, but as I am pretty swamped with school work atm, things are not progressing as fast as I want…
An excellent article and some very nice alternatives mentioned. Lets hope this will slow the suckers down for a while…
Funnily enough, I had been thinking about making a solution similar to some of the javascript ones mentioned here… I love it when I find someone else has already done exactly what I planned but even better =)
I think the method of using a tricky javascript function and letting non-javascript users fall through to a form mail page or a PHP header redirect is an excellent all round option.
If you use this technique, be sure not to put the full email address in the "alt" attribute of the image tag! You could, however, use "joe at joe dot com" or something like that, as someone else already mentioned.
Sorry. I didn't know that the form would encode by input as HTML. This is how the fourth sentence should read:
To make it a link, I used an EXTERNAL .js file to write the  tag before the  tag, and another to write the  tag after it.
Sorry to be so late in the discussion, but I worte one because I noticed that a talented spammer (please, I realize that is an oxymoron), could effectively use the callback in LWP and unencode the entries.
Instead, what I did was wrote a program that randomizes between hex and ascii encodings for the e-mail address, encodes the prompt and even encodes the target if you want. It also obfuscates the mailto: portion of the href argument to throw off simple spambot word searches.
It needs work, so be gentle:
As far as i know, email addresses in flash swf files can not be harvested.
That just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside :)
Okay, I've fixed the obfuscator so it works with our friends across the great pond, and down under as well as other places non-us.
I've also moved it. The new location is:
I use a simple redirection script, that can be written in any scripting language you like. The link calls, for instance, "mailme.php?username=myname&host=myserver.com". The script then redirects the browser to "mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com. This seems to work well in most browsers, although for some reasons it works once in Opera, then gives an error on each successive attempt unless you close it and restart.
Using a jaacript to break up the mailto: will likely solve the problem, anthough using an entity for the
symbol might help bulletproof it.
 [removed]
 <!—
 [removed]("" + "namedo" + "main.ca" + "")
However, the real question is, to spambots read the source code or the rendered page? If the read the source, we're covered. If they read the rendered page, we're wasting our time unless we don't want the address to be the displayed text.
I wonder if simply adding a sace before or after the
in the ...>text portion of the  tag would invalidate it without completely ruining it on screen, as in "...>namedomain.ca"
Any thoughts?
For the moment, I'm going to create a trap email address and pt it in a link on my main page to at least raise alarm if the spambots are trolling my site.
I can't believe how bad the spelling is on that last post. Allow me another try:
Using a javacript to break up the mailto: will likely solve the problem, although using an entity for the @ symbol might help bulletproof it.
[removed]("" + "name@do" + "main.ca")
However, the real question is, do spambots read the source code or the rendered page? If the read the source, we're covered. If they read the rendered page, we're wasting our time unless we don't want the address to be the displayed text.
I wonder if simply adding a sace before or after the
in the "...>text" portion of the  tag would invalidate it as am email address while still leaving the appearance of an email address, as in "...>namedomain.ca"
Any thoughts?
For the moment, I'm going to create a trap email address forwarded to my address and put it in a link on my main page to at least raise alarm if the spambots are trolling my site.
I dunno, I like my little obfuscator
the mailto: disappears as plain text, the @ dissapears as main text, there is a random mixture of ascii; and hex; encodings that appearently have worked well enough of the past few years at a church site I've developed that our spam count is very low – usually guys clicking on the address and letting it rip.
That said, I am GLAD there is more than one way to skin this cat. If there were 1 best way, you can bet your bottom dollar the spammers would be coding up a storm to get past it – instead, by us having several anti-spam tools out there, the targets are too numerous to overcome – like a grasshopper taking on a bunch of little ants (we're the guys in black !-)
Of course, you can always make your email address as plain as day, and let live this little beauty:
On a more serious note, if encoding efforts happen to fail (or you just couldn't resist signing up for that "free" "toothbrush") there exists Spam Assassin (http://www.spamassassin.org), whose extremely powerful perl-driven parser can filter out more than 90% of spam.
What you have to remember is that spambots aren't people reading your page; they're an automated robot. They don't SCAN the page for email addresses, they PARSE it. That means they look through the source code for email addresses, not the text; depending on the parser, an address in a meta tag is no different than one in a link. It all depends how the spambot does the parsing. For instance, it may just look at links in the page:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use HTML::TokeParser;
use LWP::Simple;
sub grab_email_using_linksmy
my ($url) = @_;
my $content = get ("http://someurl");
my $parse = HTML::TokeParser->new(\$content);
addresses;
 while (my $token = $parse->get_tag("a"))
 {
 my $url = $token->[1]{href} || "";
 my $text = $parse->get_trimmed_text("/a");
 my ($email) = $url =~ /mailto:(.*?)/
 push (addresses, $1) if ($email =~ /([@]+@[.]+\..*?)/);
push (
addresses, $1) if ($text =~ /([^]+@[^.]+\..*?)/);
return @addresses;
However, what if he just looks at the source code in general, hoping to pick some out of the body text? The address finding is then greatly simplified:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
sub get_email_from_page
my ($url) =
_;
 my $content = get ("http://someurl");
 myaddresses = $content =~ /([@]+@[.]+\..*?)/g;
return @addresses;
Even if you don't know perl, you can at least realize that the above is most definately not a lot of code; if a spammer REALLY wanted your address, I'm sure he'd be able to resole many of the solutions you are posting…
As you can see, if your are serious about protecting yourself, its pretty stupid to post your email address in any shape or form (of course, spambots don't tend to go after personal sites; as such I wouldn't be too worried about posting your email address on your homepage). A form based mailer is much safer, and pretty much a necessity for larger sites. The best (meaning most secure and featureful) is the NMS (http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net) formmail (and the brand new TFMail, formmail's big brother). To answer the argument that form-based mailers don't give the mailer a copy of the email, formmail can be configured to email the mailer a copy of the email, or to simply display the message to the screen (in which its their own damn fault if they don't save it! :P)
Just for fun, I wrote a page of JavaScript to change
The relevant JavaScript functions on the generation page were
// Return a string that's reversed with bit 0 flipped
function Flip(s)
var i;
var r = '';
for (i = s.length; i; i—) {
r += String.fromCharCode(s.charCodeAt(i – 1) ^ 1);
return r;
// Update the form
function Refresh()
var s = '' + document.all.LinkText.value + '';
document.all.ResultPlain.value = s;
document.all.ResultObfuscated.value = '[removed]s="' +
Flip(s).replace('\\\\', '\\\\\\\\').replace('"', '\\"').replace("'", "\\'") +
As mentioned before, this works until the spambots figure out how to run JavaScript.
Spam is one of the main factors that is holding back the potential of the internet. Hotmail accounts are generally where most people begin their experiences with email, and considering the amount of crap that gets through to your average hotmail account, people just aren't going to take it seriously. Fortunately there are moves under way to make spamming illegal in parts of Europe and then hopefully the rest of the world will follow suit. I can't imagine how spam can be an effective way of marketing when everyone sees it as an infrigement on their privacy ???
I've had great success just listing my email like this:
Have yet to get spammed. Quite nice actually. Quite simple too. The best protection is, of course, a form submitted to the server.
Hi all,
here we go with the easiest fix ever:
instead of email@example.com use the following:
It doesnt need any javascript (not everyone browses with javascript ON!!!) and still is fully functional. This is to help standards compliance and the new way of supplying information through the web. I got it from (personal comment by David at) http://stilleye.com
i promise i hadnt read above before posting ;-)
I think I stated back on page 2 of this discussion, that anyone handy with LWP and HTML::Entities and could snarf up e-mail addresses that were hex encoded only. This is why I randomize between hex & ascii encoding. Not foolproof by any means, but requires enough extra coding to get overlooked by all but the most determined 'bots … and for them, I have some SSI induced chaff in their way so by the time they get to a real e-mail address, it's lost in the white noise or they've given up.
But like I said in my last post, I hope EVERYONE here implements a variety of tactics. If we all did the same thing, they'd easily code at that one solution Buy offering a milieu of methods, we keep'm spinning their wheels and hopefully driving up their cost of doing business.
Anyone tried out Cloudmark (http://www.cloudmark.com) ? I've just signed up. Not server-side, but it is a step in the right direction.
I am trying out the hivelogic method displayed.
However the displayed name is so coloured that it does not suit my dark background. Could some show me the exact coding and where it should be in the coding generated so I can have a choice of colour. I know nothing about coding.
Many thanks
I created a database with MySQL/PHP that stores the email addresses, which are never viewable(even through viewing the source) on the website. Am I still at risk?
I'm also in the process of configuring my email server to block everyone in the Open Relays database (http://ordb.org). Also, I'm using a tool called Mailscanner(mailscanner.info) which scans all of the emails for viruses and it has a SpamAssassin plugin.
As noted above any technique that uses client side javascript is useless, the end user can turn it off.
Thats why you use an .asp or another server side solution if you want to foil spambots.
I agree that the reliance on client-side javascript is a problem; however, it's possible to get around the problem using something like this after where you've embedded the [removed]
sk inthesoup. org
(How do I use this address?)
And just make How do I use this address? text a link to a page containing instructions (using a dummy email, of course!).
I see all this 20+ lines of code just to hide email addresses from html…it´s so simple to just publish the damn thing in .swf format and stick it in your page
The Way
"The Way is shaped by use,
But then the shape is lost.
Do not hold fast to shapes
But let sensation flow into the world
As a river courses down to the sea."
Tao Te Ching; 32 Shapes
I know how to do this in php but you could use anything that makes this possible.
When the client clicks on an email link, a box pops up asking them to enter their email address and then the site emails them the address so all they have to do is reply to that email.
all data is stored in a MySQL database which is passworded so only the php on the server can access it.
It also cuts out any display on the web of either email address. Thus bypassing the spam issue.
Another solution, used by BeSweet's author, is to simply replace an email link with a link to a forum page where one can leave a message on the system for the user. In my case I have forums on my site and private messages (phpnuke), so I can do that for myself too. I just did that today – what a coincidence.
simplify the javascript code to:
Here's the weakness, and a suggestion:
IT SEEMS TOO EASY to write a script that will harvest any consistently applied technique of obscuring mailto addresses. The trick is for us all to USE SOMETHING DIFFERENT. Use SSI to create throw-away e-mail addresses from some part of the user's IP address, or use PHP to use the time of day. Mix this up with the break-apart technique, but don't break the address at logical places. Throw in a little encoding, here and there. Keep the harvesters on their toes! Make it easier to get their addresses from other sites. The hard work they'll go to, just for a handful of our obscured addresses, won't be worth it.
In general I use and recommend the "caller ID" method, creating a custom e-mail address for myself each time I register for web sites, etc. I know from whom the mail came, by the address they sent it to, and can easily filter it out. Example: firstname.lastname@example.com
I'm also using SpamAssassin, which is great by itself. I learned how to write a user_prefs file, and how to write simple procmail recipes. Together, it's really, really effective. Because we can't stop'em all from getting our e-mail addresses.
Blocking those nasty spambots is a real pain I agree. I have seen bots that go through the trouble of parsing email addresses after processing the web page through a browser. So how do we kill it in my shop and get even?
The Block: We have email sent to us through form submission. IP addresses are logged with the date to prevent abuse (only 3 messages an hour). This is a easy script to write. You do not have to show the address in a .cgi file
The Kill: Knowing what these bots look for, and how they operate is key. They spider hyperlinks over your entire site where there will be likely email address. We have a mailto:email@example.com generator, which is hyperlinked and named directory.cgi to our contacts section.
Imagine if the spammer was caught in the mail out by getting tens of thousands of mailerdaemons. Their server admin would catch them before the complaints.
The link provided isn't my site, just one that i found that had these scripts for free/practically nothing.
Granted This article was intended to have this be done in Javascript, and in that case consider calling the function as an external .js file to generate the email addresses and to display email links. BTW if you feel you have to display your email adress that they click on use an image that is linked the way Xavier Defrang mentioned above if you have no cgi access.
Whew I think I have said Enough,
David Smith
If you use cgi to provide web based email through forms, you do not have to display your email address. I do that in my shop and it works.
If you generate bogus random addresses like email@example.com you will tip them off to the sys admin when they begin a mailing getting thousands of "address unknowns", or wasting their bandwidth if they are a service.
If you must display an email address, make an image that uses the method Xavier Defrang mentions above to link it, with the function as an external .js script.
The link is not my site, just a place i found where you can get these simple scripts if you are too lazy to write them.
Check out spamgourmet.com
It works the same as sneakEmail.com
Just search for "Balu" to find my php-solution, that generates a uniq mailto: for each visitor – which looks like
This way I can easily reject addresses that were found by bots and are used for SPAMming. I even know where the bot came from and when. I can even find them in the webserver-logfiles and analyze their activity.
There are many other ideas and hints on that page too…Balu
Just use a contact form that then mails you the content of the form. The user doesn't need to know your e-mail address at all.
I use one at my site and users find it easy to use.
By far the most elegant approach AFAIK;
Catch the email harvester in a tar pit and destroy it's database.
(including the email address just snatched from your HTML)
All mail links can remain unmodified.
The easiest and as far as I know most fool-proof method is one that Xavier almost alluded to. It involves a simple Javascript function that assembles an email address when the user clicks a hyperlink.
function mail(user) {
locationstring = "mailto:" + user + "@" + "domain.com";
[removed] = locationstring;
You can of course add more variables so that you may use multiple domains, ie:
function mail(user,dom,tld) {
locationstring = "mailto:" + user + "@" + dom + "." + tld;
[removed] = locationstring;
In the hyperlink, just call the function:
[removed] mail('johndoe','domain','com');
This method has proved exceptionally reliable. To test it, I put a page with a normal email link to email@example.com and one to my real address assembled through this Javascript function. Spam comes to the spam address, but not to my real address.
Hopefully this helps someone!
In pure HTML you can extra tags that will not get in the way.
You can also use the character entities.
JavaScript would be needed to dynamically add this to the HREF of the mailto link.
You can even distribute the parts of you email address in invisible tags around the page, even put some bits in attributes, and use JavaScript to reconstruct it in.
Maybe have <? include my_email.txt ?> in the mailto href and on the page for a server side solution. But don't bots get to the page after sever-side processing?

The Last Days
in Religion
Bro. Wally Langford preaches about the Last Days.
Are We Living In The Last Days?
in Environment
Tonight on "It's Real Talk Radio" the topic of conversation is the last days; are we actually living in them? With everything we have going on from crime to violence to super storms to global warming, etcetera; one could surely argue the case. Well tonight the "IRTR" crew will be diving in on this discussion and you're invited to join us. Our call in # is 347-838-9540. We look forward to seeing you Monday night at 9PM EST.
We're In The Last Days, Now What?
in The Bible
As we watch the news and hear about the events going on around the world, few of us fail to recognize the signs of the times. Few would argue against the notion that we are indeed in the last days. Now that we recognize that fact, what are we to do? What did Jesus say? What must we guard and watch out for? These are serious questions that we must know the answers to for ourselves. Jesus demands it. We know it is not a time to cower in fear. But do we really know what to do and what to expect? We'll touch on these questions this week on Word Wisdom. Join us online at 4 pm, http://blogtalkradio.com/wordwisdom, or by phone 661.554.9174
That Which Shall Befall You In The Last Days
in The Bible
The last days for the Church are here. The Middle East is exploding right now, and we are watching an irreversable upheaveal of extremely important prophetic events. For the Church of Jesus Christ living in the Age of Grace, our time has nearly run out. Our course is just about finished. On tonight's program, we will open up the pages of scripture and make sure that we are prepared, spiritually, to leave this sin-cursed world behind and go meet the Lord Jesus Christ in the clouds. But be warned...this bible study is not merely a pep rally, it will be a sober look at doctrine that the Lord has given us to make sure we are truly prepared to, by death or Rapture, leave this world sooner rather than later.
With your radio host and bible teacher, Geoffrey Grider of Now The End Begins.
"After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter." Revelation 4:1
Are we in the Last Days
in Christianity
Are we in the Last Days? How do we know? Is there a benchmark? Paul speaks of the attitudes of men in the last days in 2 Timothy 3, does this passage give us a litmus test? Is the second coming of Christ drawing near? Today we talk about events and headlines that suggest we are in fact living in the Last Days, the times just preceding the second coming of Christ.
AMERICA IS IN IT'S LAST DAYS!!! NO DOUBT IN my MIND!!!
Tribulation Baptist Church...
(GNN) Gregory news network...
Sincerely, James william Gregory Jr., Born Again Christian, Preacher of the WORD OF GOD THE BIBLE (KJV)!!!
So We're In The Last Days, Now What?
in The Bible
In these last days there are three things we need to do. First, we must make certain that Jesus is on the throne of our lives. Have we allowed the cares of this world to pull us away from our first love, like the Church of Ephesus in the book of Revelation? The second thing we must do is allow the Holy Spirit to renew our thinking. This means being willing to let go of outdated thinking and ideas from the wineskins of our past. New wine will always require a new wineskin. And we must desire the new wine that He wants to pour into us. Today we will conclude with number three.

St. Expeditus Comments
At one time there was much talk of a Saint Expeditus, and some good people were led to believe that, when there was need of haste, petitioning Saint Expeditus was likely to meet with prompt settlement. However, there is no adequate reason to think that any such saint was ever invoked in the early Christian centuries; in fact it is more than doubtful whether the saint ever existed. In the "Hieronymianum" the name Expeditus occurs among ... Continue Reading

I've just learned about St. Expedite and I am praying for his intercession. I am praying for a few things in my life right now (new job, financial stability, to be closer to my family and friends, for my health, to find love again, to communicate and articulate my thoughts and words, and for my brother who is going through a divorce and legal matters, and for God's blessing and forgiveness).
I'm not sure if it's ok to pray for all these things at the same time but I hope and pray that it is ok and that my intentions may be answered. I just want to say "Thank you St. Expedite" for listening to my prayers.

Dear St. Expedit, please help me find the money to pay off my mortgage and credit card bill soon. I am retired, aged 75, and on a small fixed income and not well enough to hold down a job.

Category name i.e.MEDIA CENTRES
The WDTV Live is all about simplicity. This is a device that is ideal for regular folk, eliminating the need for any IT knowledge in order to get file to play on your TV. Using the networking features may take a little finesse but for most people, being able to plug in your USB stick and play movies, music and images with no fuss is exactly what they are looking for.
The interface is slick and sophisticated with everything laid out logically. When browsing through videos a small preview of the video begins to play so you know which video it is. This can get annoying but you can turn off this option if you wish. The device has two USB ports but no internal storage. This is the key reason which it costs so little over other similar devices. It is also only a media player so there are no PVR functions like a TV tuner. Any USB enabled external storage device can be used with the player and when inserted, the device is searched and its contents are collated into the three categories of movies, images and music.
We tested it with a wide variety of video files and didn't find any formats it didn't support. We didn't throw any really obscure formats at it though, so you may come across something it won't play but for all the popular formats you can download, it will display them with ease.
The previous WDTV was excellent but it was limited to only being used with USB devices. With the addition of a LAN port, the player can now stream across your home network. Having a box in the living room attached to a TV and your network means you can access any PC in the house.
There is also a few additional features like YouTube and Flickr compatibility. The YouTube feature worked really well and we were pleased that you can actually log in to your own YouTube account unlike many other similar devices. However, the flaw of the YouTube feature is that while you can access your own videos, your playlist and your favourites, you can't access your subscriptions. This is a key element to using YouTube on a TV and, thusfar, no device has offered it.
This isn't WDs fault though. When we asked WD about why subscriptions were omitted, they told us that the YouTube features are limited by what Google give developers to put on their boxes. At the moment, there is no YouTube program that allows subscriptions so WD can't put that feature in, even though they would like to. Apparently, there is a new version of the YouTube software coming toward the end of the year from Google but whether subscriptions is included is unknown at this time.
The Flickr feature works really well too. You are able to look at your own images or stream a random selection of images from other people. This works really well as something to display on the television while listening to your music. It would make an excellent centre piece during a party.
The sound quality afforded by the new optical audio port was exceptional. It probably helps that we have a rather good sound system to play them on, but just the ability to use digital optical output is a welcomed change.
There isn't anything negative to say about this product. It isn't a revolution and doesn't do anything many other similar devices can do but it looks great, it is compact, the menus are fast and the file format compatibility is extensive. The price is also one of the best things about it making it something attainable for the average consumer. The previous WDTV has been reduced in price to $169 and this new model now takes the $199 price point. There is also a mini version for $129 that has no HDMI and doesn't output in HD.

A question the company won't answer

Posted by Reviewer1515359 on Feb 24, 2009
Purchased at iHerb
The labeling on this product states that it contains a "propriatory blend" of Levulose (read: fructose) and Lo Han. When I wrote them asking what the percentage of Lo Han was, I recieved no response. It is indeed, propriatory. Since it is listed after the Levulose, it contains less than the other fructose but who knows how much. The serving size is 1 gram, an unlikely serving for most people. It is likely to cake. On the positive side, it has a pleasent taste, and is not bitter...fructose after all is still sugar.

Be warned: The main ingredient in this product is Fructose. (Levulose - as listed on ingredients) is just a fancy name for fructose. Fructose is cheap and easy to purchase. But not very good for you. Lo Han is something quite different - low G.I. , an antioxidant, immune enhancing, almost zero calories. Fructose is pure badness in comparison. I don't know how a health food company could sell such stuff with a good conscience. I will never, ever again purchase anything from Trimedica again. This - for people who have to follow a low GI, low calorie or low carbohydrate diet - is actually a pretty wicked thing to do. A label that loudly shouts about Lo Han. A blurb that lists all the virtues of Lo Han. And then the small print: Proprietary blend of Levulose and Lo Han. (As the levulose is listed first there is the most of it) - and still they try to hide the fact it is fructose by calling it a fancy name ie Levulose. Shame on Trimedica. I have been using this product for a while in good faith and trust only to learn it is actually pretty fraudulent.
Not so good

This sugar is not sweet, have to use a lot to get a little sweet taste and it hardens up quickly in the container so I have to dig it out, crumble it with a knife. I would not purchase this product again.
Worst "sweetener" I've tried

I really wanted to like this but it wasn't sweet at all no matter how much you add! Big waste of 4 bucks. If you are looking for a natural sweetener I recommend nunaturals stevia.
Finally a real sugar replacment
