Referred to by Blavatsky in the Secret Doctrine, this work presents many Ancient & Prophetic Mysteries.

Welcome to PWInsider.com's live, ongoing coverage of the 2012 TNA Lockdown PPV in Nashville, TN.
TNA is doing a live countdown show hosted by Jeremy Borash and Christy Hemme. If they do anything of note, we'll cover it here.
There are problems with the Screenvision simulcast of the PPV in Salt Lake City. John Shepard sent the following....I don't know if this is going to be common in any other movie theaters anywhere else, but I was just told at the theater in Salt Lake that was showing Lockdown that there is a problem with the feed they were getting. Because of this, they scrapped the showing and were giving refunds at the door. I hope for TNA's sake it was just here and not national.
If anyone attends any of the screenings elsewhere, let us know.
Christy Hemme interviewed TNA TV champion Devon backstage. He noted that at Victory Road, Robbie E claimed he wasn't competition but now Devon has the title. He promised to win tonight.
Inside the cage, Jeremy Borash. Socal Val and JJ The Direct Auto Guy talked about the dangers of the Steel Cage. JJ predicted James Storm was going to take down Bobby Roode for the TNA title.
Borash sent it to Mike Tenay and Taz. They discussed the TNA title bout.
TNA Knockouts Tag Team champions ODB and Eric Young came to the ring, celebrating their recent nuptials. Young tried to lock up with the Direct Auto Guy. Young said they were there on the way for their honeymoon and that ODB has told him they are going to do things he hasn't even heard of. ODB said that before they get to the honeymoon, they are going to have a match against the two broads who tried to ruin the most important night of her life.
So, add ODB & Eric Young vs. Rosita & Sarita to the show.
Jeremy Borash interviewed TNA President Dixie Carter, who psyched up the company's hometown crowd. Carter said that TNA was here because of everyone who helped them get to this point. She thanked everyone and said that it was going to be a great PPV. She said that she hoped James Storm would be the victor in the main event.
Jeremy Borash interviewed Kurt Angle backstage. Angle said that he beat Jeff Hardy fair and square last month. He said that he owns the cage and tonight he will own Hardy. Angle called his own son an idiot for idolizing Hardy and said he was going to end this once and for all.
Lockdown opened with a video where James Storm welcomed Bobby Roode to "Nashville, my town" and drove off in a truck.
Usual awesome opening video.
Backstage, Garett Bischoff asked his team to let him start the Lethal Lockdown match. He said that he knows he's a rookie and going to get his ass kicks but wants to prove himself to them and that he's got the same heart that they have. As a way to get him over, it's a good idea. The team all agreed to let him do it,
LETHAL LOCKDOWN: Garett Bischoff & AJ Styles & Rob Van Dam & Mr. Anderson & TNA X-Division champ Austin Aries vs. Eric Bischoff & Gunner & Bully Ray & Kazarian & Christopher Daniels.
Garett and Gunner are starting off. They are shooting the walk through the hallway backstage and through the entrance tunnel, which looks to be UFC inspired. They don't seem to have a major league production stage for the show, so it's a smart way to shoot around that.
Garett tried to come out strong but was shoved down by Gunner. Garett nailed a pair of dropkicks but was grabbed by the throat and tossed into the corner. Garett avoided a charge and hit a nice missle dropkick. Gunner overwhelmed him and worked over Garett with a series of punches on the mat, throwing him face-first into the buckles and drilling him with an elbow. Gunner beat down Bischoff as the clock had a minute left. They announced Eric Bischoff's team won the cointoss, as a way to build the drama. Gunner choked Garett, using a boot to strangle him against the ropes.
Out second for Team Eric was Bully Ray. Ray entered, measured and drilled Garett with a running kick. Gunner stepped on Garett's head, trying to wear him down. Garett tried to mount a comeback but was nailed from behind by Gunner. Garrett fired back with a series of rights but Bully laid him out. The fans chanted for Austin Aries as the countdown made it ways to the end.
Out second for Team Garett was indeed Aries. Aries went to work on Bully with a series of rights in the corner on Ray. Ray kicked him in the face when Aries went for a running charge. He measured and drilled Aries with a right. The Nashville crowd was really behind Aries, chanting for him. Aries reversed a whip and shoulderblocked Ray in the corner. Aries nailed a missile dropkick as the countdown ended.
Out third for Team Eric was Kazarian, now sporting a short crew cut. I didn't even recognize him when he was running to the ring, it's such a drastic change. Team Eric worked over Garett and Aries.
Our third for Team Garett was AJ Styles. Kazarian tried to meet him but was hit with the steel cage door. Styles worked over Kazarian as the crowd chanted for Styles, but Bully Ray wiped him out. Styles came back with a dropkick on Ray. That led to Team Garett starting to mount a comeback as everyone battled back and forth.
Out fourth for Team Eric was Christopher Daniels, They allowed the numbers game to come back into play. Aries and Garett were thrown hard into the cage. Ray nailed Garett with a top rope axehandle.
Our fourth for Team Garett was Mr. Anderson. Anderson worked over Daniels with a series of elbowdrops. Kazarian and Daniels came back to backdrop Styles. Team Eric had the clear advantage as the countdown ended, revealing Eric Bischoff as the fifth and final member.
Eric held his own son to allow Ray to chop Garett right over his Bischoff tattoo. He contiued holding his son for the other team members to take their shots on Garett. The crowd started chanting for RVD as the countdown for the final member of Team Garett came to the end.
RVD hit the ring, completing Team Garett, killing everyone with kicks and clotheslines. He nailed a leaping monkey flip on Kazarian. Eric Bischoff hid behind Bully Ray. RVD laid him out with Rolling Thunder. Eric hid in the corner by a ringpost. The weapons and the roof on the cage began to lower.
AJ Styles used a hockey stick on Ray. Anderson nailed Ray with a trash can. RVD nailed Danmiels with one. It turned into a frenzied scene of weapons shots on Team Eric. Daniels was caned by Styles. Aries nailed Ray with a trash can lid, then stomped and kicked away at him. Garett was down selling the beating he took while Eric hid behind Gunner. They showed close-ups of welts on Garett's back.
Aries and Styles dragged Eric into the ring and laid him out. RVD went for the Five Star Frog Splash but Gunner took him out. Aries nailed Gunner then hit a discus elbow on Ray. Ray ran him into the cage like a lawn dart. Ray tried to come off the ropes but was caught with Anderson's rolling Samoa Drop. Styles went to the top but was drilled by Kazarian. They battled on the top rope. Kazarian used the cage to climb across. Styles followed and kicked Kazarian off the cage into the ring, then let go and dropped an elbow.
RVD nailed a Five Star Frog Splash on Kazarian but was nailed by Ray. Ray grabbed a chair but was nailed with the Van Daminator. Daniels attacked and hit Angel's Wings on RVD. Garett nailed Daniels with an STO and covered him but Eric began caning the hell out of him. Everyone else was out while Bischoff beat the piss out of his son. Eric mocked his son and the fans, only to turn into a Garett guitar shot.
Garett pinned Bischoff, which means that Eric has to leave TNA and can no longer use the Bischoff name.
Your winners, Team Garett!
Match was pretty middle of the road. It lacked any real drama or back and forth feeling that Garett's team was in dire straits. Garett took a pretty harsh beating in an attempt to get him over and that aspect was scripted perfectly. The problem is that, at least on the PPV broadcast, it was like watching the story unfold behind a window as there was no feeling that the audience was hanging on to what might happen. There was no insane killer spot this year for the match either, which also took away from the finish. It was left to Eric Bischoff, a non-wrestler and Garett Bischoff, who has a long way to go to handle the climax and what that climax ended up being was the old Jeff Jarrett El Kabong spot after the Tommy Dreamer Caning spots. The crowd got into the weapons shots but before then it was pretty much guys going back and forth with no real feeling of the drama rising anfd falling. Aries and RVD got great reactions, which is good news as TNA really needs some fresh faces in the mix.

On Sunday January 30, a crew of seniors, aged 56 to 84, set sail on the An-Tiki, a raft constructed of water pipes. The purpose of their 70-day, 2,800-mile voyage: To raise 50,000 pounds for WaterAid, an international, nonprofit organization that partners with local organizations in 26 countries in Asia, Africa and parts of the Pacific Region to implement safe water, sanitation and hygiene education in rural and urban areas. WaterAid helps establish clean water systems, while also enabling families to maintain them, ensuring long-term, sustainable success for all parties involved.
While sailing on saltwater, the An-Tiki crew hopes to raise awareness of the fact that it is fresh water that keeps us alive, but it's also fresh water that many people in the world lack access to. While on board, the crew will have plenty of water, but will also collect rainwater and convert saltwater into fresh, to remind themselves of its importance to our livelihood. While raising money for clean water, these men also hope to demonstrate that adventure is just as suitable for seniors as it is for youngsters. It is impressive to note that the oldest gentleman in the crew, An-Tiki Captain Anthony Smith, has been a traveling adventurer for nearly all of the 84 years he's been alive.
The An-Tiki is a testament to the importance of clean water, just as the Plastiki has been a testament to the importance of plastic waste reduction – and we thought this unique effort deserved this week's spot in our featured water charities, in honor of #charitytuesday on Twitter. To support Antiki in it's fundraising efforts for WaterAid, make a donation online through the An-Tiki Just Giving page. To track the voyage live online, visit the An-Tiki Yellowbrick Satellite Adventure Tracking page.

MOUNTAIN VIEW — A small, made-in-Mountain View device is yielding new insights about the windblown geology of the Red Planet.
The bread box-sized instrument built by David Blake, of NASA´s Ames Research Center at Moffett Field — analyzing a sheltered sand ripple on Mars — detected a crust of large particles atop smaller particles, suggesting a history of fierce winds.
"When things like that occur, it means Mars would have windy spells and turbulence," said Blake.
He believes that gale-force winds kick up when restless Mars changes its axial tilt. Unlike Earth, the tilt of Mars has repeatedly swung from 0 to 60 degrees over its 4.5 billion-year life span. He and his colleagues report this and other findings, discovered using a suite of analytic instruments aboard NASA's $1 billion Curiosity rover, in the most recent issue of the journal Science.
The rover, more than 220 million miles from home since its harrowing touchdown a year ago, has tested more than one hundred samples of soil in a sandy patch of the Gale Crater known as Rocknest. It has also returned more than 190 gigabits of data. Among its other findings:
These discoveries can be used to infer the thermal, pressure and chemical conditions under which Mars was created. Curiosity is the first rover on Mars to carry equipment for gathering and processing samples of rock and soil. Blake's instrument, which cost $40 million to develop, uses X-ray diffraction to study materials by measuring the space between the planes of their atoms. His 22-pound, 10-cubic-inch device — called the CheMin — runs on 30 watts of power from Curiosity's nuclear power source.
His tool's foray into space is the culmination of a 24-year quest for Blake, a Los Altos resident whose education at Los Altos High School and Stanford University led to degrees in biological sciences, geological sciences and mineralogy.
The rover will continue on its search for signs of former life, one of the main goals of the mission. Scientists also hope to learn more about its transformation from a wet, possibly life-supporting planet to the red dust bowl it has become.
Data from its next destination, a place called Yellowknife Bay, is even more promising. Last spring, the rover found evidence that an intermittent lake was once present, with fresh water and other chemical ingredients that life requires. Those findings will be published soon, Blake said.
"This will be the first time that anyone has characterized a habitable zone on another planet," he said.

Press OpinionsTom's singing career sadly ended when he was shot through the nose at Thiepval in World War I. Tom served firstly with the Honourable Artillery Company and then, after receiving officer training, joined the Worcestershire Regiment at Vimy Ridge where he was made Captain. He ended up at Passchendaele where he was again severely wounded by gunshot on 31st July.
MORNING LEADER, Nov. 19th 1904 – The newest boy singer, Master Tom Cruwys, who appeared this week at the Alhambra in a soprano part, is a remarkably confident and dignified addition to the list of musical boy prodigies of the past season, has a well formed and particular musical range, and reaches his high notes with expression and ease. For so small a performer his voice carries well to the back of the huge hall, and but for his stage personality a listener might easily suppose the vocalist to be an accomplished lady soprano.
THE STAR, Nov. 19th 1904, - The chief event of the week has been the appearance of a new boy singer at the Alhambra, Master Tom Cruwys. He possesses the ordinary range of a soprano, with the same richness and fulness of tone.
LLOYDS NEWS, Nov. 19th 1904, - A charming boy Soprano, Master Tom Cruwys, is an acquisition to this entertainment.
THE ERA, 20th Nov., 1904 – A boy singer, Master Tom Cruwys …..this week at the Alhambra. He has … of sweet quality and remarkable range … his high notes are particularly clear.
LICENSED VICTUALLERS MIRROR, 2nd Dec., 1904 – Master Tom Cruwys has an astonishingly strong, sweet and clear voice of soprano calibre. He gives a really clever rendering of "Il Bacio", and for an encore renders "The Swallows" delightfully.
SOUTHPORT GAZETTE, Feb 11th, 1905 – Master Tom Cruwys, the boy soprano possesses a voice of singular purity and fulness, his upper notes having a splendid roundness of tone. His songs are delivered in cultured style, and the way he surmounted the difficulty of "Sing Sweet Bird" was a triumph of expressive singing, which was renewed in "Mary of Argyle".
SOUTHPORT GRAPHIC February 11th 1905
Master Tom Cruwys, whose picture we give, has made quite a triumph at the Palace this week. This clever little boy has just finished a most successful pantomime engagement at the Crystal Palace this Christmas. His first hit, however, was made at the Alhambra, London, where he had the honour of singing before Her Majesty Queen Alexandra, Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria, and Prince and Princess Louise of Battenberg.
Tom was also a talented artist and before the war he had studied at the Hammersmith School of Art. After the war Tom became a civil servant at H.M. Office of Works, where he worked on the architectural side. In 1926 he joined Messrs. Trollope and Son, the West End firm of interior decorators, as senior artist. He remained there for five years and then began working for himself. Tom's designs include the ballroom at the Dorchester Hotel, and the staterooms of the Aquitania and Mauritania. Tom struggled to make a career as an artist during the Depression and in 1939 he joined his brother Herbert (my grandfather) in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, where he found employment at Dowty Rotol. In his spare time Tom enjoyed drawing the local Cotswold scenery and churches, and I have a large collection of postcards produced from his wonderfully detailed black and white sketches.
Tom married twice and had two daughters by his first wife Clara Mascord. His younger daughter Mary married Derek Robbins, the World War II veteran. Tom died on 24th October 1963 at 82 Station Road, Bishops Cleeve, Cheltenham.

Quote from: Durge on June 15, 2004, 12:52 AMThanks OC.This is an example of an unnecessary, post-padding post.Please stop.
As is this. Please do not be a hypocrite.
Also, if you like old school games, pick up Mario vs. Donkey Kong. It's a REALLY fun game, and it's in 3D (!!!). Yup, 3D, and it looks great, compared to other 3D GBA games. Pick it up if you see it and have the 30 dollars.
Isn't the Mega Man thingy supposed to be out now?
I don't see the value of paying 20.00+ for these, especially when you get down to games like SMB and Ice Climber. Zelda was really pushing it for me. That's just my typical negative opinion, though.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 22, 2019Reviewer: Kim in Louisiana* Like other recent users, I LOVED Fiberfit in its previous incarnation. It was perfect for sweetening half-gallons of tea at once, was nice and sweet, and the extra fiber was a bonus. And then it stopped being available. The new formula...it's not as sweet. Scratch that, it's massively less sweet than before. I have tried pretty much doubling the amount I use, and my tea is still not as sweet as it used to be. It's more like...barely sweet, even at a dose that would have made the tea undrinkably sweet using the old version.
The manufacturer swears to me that the only thing that changed was the amount of fiber. If that's true, then fiber has magical powers to kill sweetness. The ingredients are basically the same, it's true. But the flavor is NOT. It also has an odd texture, where a liquid gets a bit more "heft" to it than before, but this is something I could probably get used to pretty quickly. No, the taste is the problem.
If they can go back to the old formula, I'll be buying it faithfully once more. It was a great product. But it's not worth it to use a sweetener that cannot sweeten things no matter how much you add. I thought maybe it was just me, but clearly other users are having the same experience. It's a real shame.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulApril 26, 2019Reviewer: DOROTHY L in Colorado* As a long time user of the original 16 oz Fiberfit that had Irish Moss Extract as the fiber, I have found the new formula no where near as sweet as the original and essentially double the price of the original. It just isn't working.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulOctober 22, 2018Reviewer: Janet in Pennsylvania* I use to buy this faithfully and then it was out of stock for a long time. I got an email saying it was back in stock, so I ordered 4 of them. When I went to use it, it was obvious that they changed something in the formula as it was not sweet. My husband and I opened two of the bottles just to make sure it wasn't a fluke in the first bottle, but the second was not sweet either! We wound up putting over a tablespoon in a small cup of coffee and it STILL wasn't sweet!!!
I called customer service and I am sending them back! Will not be ordering this again.I am VERY disappointed in a product that I loved and raved about before!
Will continue to buy the EZ Sweet double pack. It only takes 5-6 drops to sweeten our morning coffee!
October 18, 2018Reviewer: Helen in Tennessee* I am so happy that this is back in stock. It is the best sweetener on the market.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulOctober 18, 2018Reviewer: A guest* I have used fiberfit for the past 10 years and was at a loss when unable to purchase it for the past 9 months. When i received the email stating it was available again, i ordered 10 bottles! I was disappointed that not only was the price outrageous, but it seems the formula has changed. It used to be 16.99 for 16 oz., now its that for 8ozs. If the taste hadn't changed, i may consider paying that much occasionaly, however, I probably will no longer be using this product. I previously ordered 10 bottles every 3 months but will continue using what i have been while waiting for fiberfit to come back on the market. Thank you.
Editors note: The formula changed to include twice the amount of fiber per serving which is why the bottle is half the size. According to the manufacturer, they got the taste as close as possible to the original, which is the reason it was out of stock for so many months.
January 09, 2017Reviewer: Ginger in Minnesota* I have used this sweetener for somewhere near 10 years and LOVE it! I have made baked custard, flourless chocolate cake, whipped cream, cheesecake, cheesecake mousse...loads of stuff and it never lets me down. Doesn't lose sweetness in baking and the small amount used rarely, if ever, causes baking/setting issues. And no bitter after-taste as with Stevia products. I do wish I could still get the powdered version but haven't seen it in several years. I definitely recommend this product!
February 10, 2015Reviewer: PATSY in Oklahoma* I like this sweetener in beverages and making sugar free treats. It's a little expensive so I don't use it every day. I just use regular liquid Splenda when I can get away with it. But this is great if you make low carb chocolate treats.
October 15, 2013Reviewer: Gloria in Michigan* This is my go to sweetener for cereal. There is no off taste.
August 27, 2013Reviewer: Pam in California* OK I ordered this after reading the reviews. I have tried MANY sugar substitutes only to find that I could not tolerate them. This one tastes good and does not seem to have an after taste. I would recommend that you give it a try.
December 15, 2012Reviewer: Deanna in Tennessee* Do not be afraid to buy this! Fiberfit is by far the best tasting sweetener I have found. And the most economical. Only takes a few drops to sweeten a glass of tea, or just a teaspoon or so for an entire recipe! I use it everyday and a bottle will last me for several months! I am gonna order 2 bottles next time, because I am so afraid that they may discontinue it for some reason (not that I have heard they will, it's just a fear of mine, LOL) Fiberfit has helped me lose 37 pounds and keep it off! You can't go wrong with this product! Thumbs up from me!
September 05, 2012Reviewer: SAN in Washington* I ordered this specifically to use to sweeten coffee, tea, [hot or iced] unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened almond/coconut milk and sugar free hot cocoa, and this works perfectly for that. I haven't baked or cooked with this.
With daily use several times a day, one bottle lasted me about a month. It's well worth the price, but I would love it if this were even sweeter, so it would last longer.
I'm very glad I found this - I just ordered 2 more bottles.
May 15, 2012Reviewer: Christine in Massachusetts* This is a wonderful sweetener with no after taste and works in all liquids.
May 04, 2012Reviewer: Karen in New Hampshire* Love this sweetener. I use it in low carb cheesecake all the time. This has become one of the staples in my cupboard.
November 26, 2011Reviewer: Joanne in Georgia* This is a really good sweetener...I used it in my Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie, and it worked great. It is easy to cook with. I would recommend this to anybody on a sugar-free diet.
October 22, 2011Reviewer: Carla in Florida* Great tasting product. No After Taste. I use it in everything. Also if you are on a low carb diet, you are getting the fiber that your body is missing on this type of diet.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulApril 04, 2011Reviewer: Emily in Washington* Fiberfit is a great product! I don't think it is actually 8 times as sweet as sugar, as the bottle states. However, it is great in recipes and in coffee/tea, just sweeten to taste. I also wish it was less expensive, but I keep ordering it!
October 27, 2010Reviewer: Linda in Minnesota* Good tasting sweetener. A small squirt in my coffee in the morning is perfect. I'm ordering again, too bad they are out of the big bottles. Got 3 of the small instead. Measures well for my low-carb treats.This review is specific to Fiberfit Concentrated Sweetener with Fiber
September 05, 2010Reviewer: Randy in Colorado* This product provides a convenient way to sweeten things using a concentrated form of sucralose (Splenda). It has little to no calories, no aftertaste, plus a bonus that it provides some fiber. A squirt of it in a fruit smoothie can take the edge off of particularly sour fruit. I also use it to make a sugar-free fruit sorbet.This review is specific to Fiberfit Concentrated Sweetener with Fiber
August 27, 2010Reviewer: Sandra in California* This is my first review ever, but I had to say how much I really like this product. When I first got it I failed to read the instructions and didn't use enough of it. Once I realized my mistake and used the proper amount I started using it for everything. Tastes great in tea, sparkling water, baking, the whole shebang!
July 06, 2010Reviewer: Cathy in New York* This is a wonderful product. No after taste. I use it for baking primarily, when large quantities of sweetener are required. Getting ready to make a batch of blueberry jam and some pies - will be ordering more soon!
May 21, 2010Reviewer: Dave in Florida* Excellent Product without the carbs of granular Splenda. Perfect for all sweetener uses.
May 08, 2010Reviewer: Linda in Iowa* This is my 4th or 5th order of Fiberfit Liquid. I try other products available locally but keep coming back to this product because of the value and taste. It just works the best! And my orders always arrive in a timely manner. I am always pleased with the customer service at Netrition.
March 03, 2010Reviewer: A customer in California* The fact that I don't have to worry about added carbs from filler is why I buy the liquid sucralose. I guess the granular Splenda has added stuff that raises the carb count. Why take in extra carbs needlessly? It is a convenient and easy to use product and because it's concentrated the bottle lasts. It is a good value for the money BECAUSE it is concentrated. This product gets an A+ from me!This review is specific to Fiberfit Concentrated Sweetener with Fiber
January 22, 2010Reviewer: Jason in Arkansas* I started using Fiberfit a few years ago & since then it's been my sweetener of choice. No funny aftertaste, & it's very sweet, so a little goes a long way.

My low carb desserts have half the carbs that a dessert made with the powdered low carb sweetener would have. There is no after taste...it tastes just like sugar, and you need just a small amount to sweeten things up!This review is specific to Fiberfit Concentrated Sweetener with Fiber
October 17, 2009Reviewer: Dave in Florida* I've been using this as an alternative to Splenda for years. It's perfect in that is doesn't add Carbs with fillers and Dextrose. Only a few drops are needed for a unsweetened protein shake.
October 14, 2009Reviewer: Janet in Pennsylvania* This is a wonderful sweetener! You use much less than those little 'yellow packs' and I like the taste much better! It blends into cold or hot beverages great! I use it in cooking and people never know I haven't added real sugar because there is no 'after taste!' I have been using it for about 8 years now, the large bottle lasts forever! I hope they never stop making it. Try it once and I am sure you will be hooked!This review is specific to Fiberfit Concentrated Sweetener with Fiber
October 08, 2009Reviewer: Lisa in Texas* I love Fiberfit. It doesn't leave a bad aftertaste like some sweeteners. I use it in coffee and also for baking. It also doesn't raise my blood sugar and that's important for me as a Diabetic.
August 12, 2009Reviewer: janice in Illinois* Great! Squirt small amount onto frozen blueberries, add small amount of cream or milk, becomes like a slushy. Great for baking, coffee, anything.This review is specific to Fiberfit Concentrated Sweetener with Fiber
August 07, 2009Reviewer: Lisa in Texas* Fiberfit is great for adding a little extra sweetness to yogurt, One Minute Muffins, etc. Sometimes packets makes the recipe a little too thick and SF syrups make them too runny. Fiberfit adds just enough to give it the sweetness I'm after without making it too thick or runny.
I do wish they'd make it in an 8-oz. bottle, though. The 4-oz. does last awhile since I don't use it everyday. Just seems quite a jump from 4 to 16 oz.
But, it's a great product that I recommend!This review is specific to Fiberfit Liquid Sweetened Soluble Fiber

It goes great in foods and tea!This review is specific to Fiberfit Concentrated Sweetener with Fiber
October 31, 2008Reviewer: chelsea in California* I love this stuff. I use it in my coffee and baked goods. The way I figure it, why add carbs by using dry Splenda when I can get the same sweetness using a liquid that is carb free and adds fiber. I used to think it was kind of pricey, but don't blink at the price anymore. It's worth what they charge and lasts a long time because you use it by the drop not by the spoonful.

September 28, 2008Reviewer: A customer in Indiana* I was skeptical of the claims for this product but...I ordered it anyway. And wow, they were right. It sweetens better than powder, it is a bit of a problem to measure it cause it's so concentrated. But it tastes better than sugar. I use it for minute bowl muffins, tea, sweet and sour chicken, etc. It's great. It lasted two months, using it everyday in something. I ordered it again.

September 10, 2008Reviewer: Pam in Virginia* Now at double the sweetness, this product is better than ever. 0 carbs - since no dextrose is needed as a bulking agent, as it is in Splenda. While there is fiber in it, you'd never know it. It's a clear, water-like solution. I've ordered it several times and am very happy.
September 03, 2008Reviewer: Keri in Oregon* I love this product. Have used it in coffee, mock danishes, low carb baking, cheesecakes. It tastes great and doesn't add any unnecessary carbs.

I bought the 16oz size and am re-ordering the same... will be a regular at my house.This review is specific to Fiberfit Concentrated Sweetener with Fiber
August 29, 2008Reviewer: Cindy in Maryland* This is an exceptional sweetener without a noticeable aftertaste. I've been using it for almost three years and highly recommend it. The sixteen ounce bottle lasts for quite a while because a couple drops is all that's usually needed.
August 22, 2008Reviewer: A customer in Tennessee* This is the absolute best liquid sweetener and is fantastic for low carbers. The fiber is a major plus. I don't miss sugar anymore. I bought the 4 oz size and it lasted about a month. Daily, I sweetened tea, coffee and peanut butter with it. Now, I can't do without the Fiberfit. Now, I plan to upgrade to the big 16 oz bottle for home use. But, I'll also re-purchase the smaller size to sweeten my decaf coffee at work.This review is specific to Fiberfit Liquid Sweetened Soluble Fiber
August 11, 2008Reviewer: Denise in Alabama* This product is great. I've used it together with stevia extract to sweeten coffee and prepare pitchers of sugar free iced tea and Kool-Aid. I've also used it in various recipes with a low carb bake mix. My only complaint is that I felt that the sugar equivalency measurements were off somewhat and I had to use more than suggested to get the drinks sweet enough.
June 04, 2008Reviewer: Patricia in California* I love this stuff. I cook with it, it's great in hot and cold drinks, and I also bake with it. It's lower in carbs than the granulated sucralose, and it's not bitter. As an added bonus, it contains fiber. What more could one ask for?
June 03, 2008Reviewer: Angela in North Carolina* I love this stuff! You only have to use very little to get a great sweetness. I use 3-4 quick squirts to sweeten a lg mug of coffee or a 20 oz glass of tea. It's derived from splenda and is low cal and suger free, not to mention the added fiber benefit. It lasts a long time because you use so little. It's worth buying the big bottle. It has no after taste. Number 1 product!This review is specific to Fiberfit Concentrated Sweetener with Fiber
May 31, 2008Reviewer: Kelly in Massachusetts* I'm on my 3rd or 4th bottle of this stuff and love it! I use it to sweeten baked goods and to add some extra sweetness to my protein shakes. It's delicious and it doesn't have an aftertaste. I'm always looking for ways to add fiber to my diet and this is perfect. Fiberfit is a must have for anyone who loves to bake and wants to limit their sugar intake!

February 08, 2008Reviewer: Mary in Minnesota* Convenient, very sweet (don't need to use much), no effective carbs, and the fiber is an added bonus. I love it.
February 08, 2008Reviewer: Jeanette in Ohio* I like this product to sweeten my Teriyaki Sauce and my Cranberry Water. It couldn't be easier to measure and use and tastes just like sugar. The only drawback is that it is expensive and you can't get it locally.This review is specific to Fiberfit Concentrated Sweetener with Fiber
January 26, 2008Reviewer: Tammy in Florida* In Florida, ice tea is a staple. I sweetened each pitcher of tea with about 2.5 TBS and it was just as if it was sugar sweetened. I gave up on chasing the kids away from my "diet tea" and just ordered more. This stuff is great!
January 25, 2008Reviewer: THERESA in Maryland* I absolutely LOVE this sweetener. I ordered this with the Almond Breeze Unsweetened Drinks, so I added a teaspoon of the Fiberfit and it was AMAZING. I haven't used it for baking but this is a great substitute for the Davinci Sugar Free Syrups. You have to try it or you're missing out.
January 08, 2008Reviewer: Barbara in New York* So easy to cook and bake with this sweetener. And with the fiber, no carbs to add to the recipes.

Recently found out I am diabetic, and will find even more uses for it, as now I must change my way of eating for health reasons, not just weight loss. Four stars are for flavor. One less than five is because of the expense. Hope enough of us find this super product to create a lower price.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJune 24, 2007Reviewer: Leslie in Illinois* This is wonderful stuff. For any recipe or use where sugar's main contribution is sweetening this is the stuff I use instead -- the taste is great. While it might require a little arithmetic, not having to measure it cup-for-cup for sugar means it takes up less space on the shelf, and though the contribution may be small, who can't use a little more fiber in their diet? The one thing which is tricky is using it in recipes which contain no liquids -- they can come out too moist. I try to counteract it by adding a little something which will absorb some of the extra moisture but it requires experimentation and good intuition. (If you can find it, there's a dry version of the product now which should eliminate this problem.) This is definitely my sweetener of choice.
May 23, 2007Reviewer: Tim in Colorado* Fiberfit is basically your "Liquid Splenda." I use it in everything - coffee, baking, cereals, etc., etc., etc. I HIGHLY recommend it!
May 21, 2007Reviewer: Jacqueline in Texas* I love this stuff. Can cook with it, takes only a little to sweeten things, and no funny aftertaste.
May 12, 2007Reviewer: A customer in Texas* FiberFit is an absolutely great way to sweeten my tea and get a little fiber, too. It also doesn't leave any funky aftertaste.
May 06, 2007Reviewer: Jessie in California* OMG, I am out of Fiberfit. This is tragic! I hate it when I forget to place an order. I don't like or use Splenda granulated anymore. It doesn't taste sweet and so much of it has to be used to gain the desired sweetness. I have been spoiled rotten since I started using Fiberfit. I can use a couple of squirts in a 12 oz. cup of strong coffee. It's sweet enough and I'm good to go... Great product! By the way, I use the powdered Fiberfit when I bake. I only use the liquid in drinks, sauces, and cereal.
April 25, 2007Reviewer: Janet in California* Great in coffee and in everything else you can sweeten. Doesn't have that bitter taste.
April 03, 2007Reviewer: A customer in Colorado* I use this product twice daily in my glass with water and cider vinegar. It cuts the taste of the vinegar. It's a wonderful product you could use to sweeten anything!
March 26, 2007Reviewer: Crystal in Missouri* This is a great sweetener for beverages. It is also great for sauces and anything that does not require the thickening properties of sugar. Has the cleanest taste of any artificial sweetener I have tried.
February 02, 2007Reviewer: Stephanie in Maryland* I thought that Davinci syrups were the best we could do with liquid, zero carb sweeteners. Boy was I wrong. This stuff is amazing. There is no aftertaste. It's indistinguishable from sugar. And it does not contain sugar alcohols. My only beef with this product is that it makes baking tricky because it does not substitute cup for cup the way granular Splenda does.This review is specific to Fiberfit Liquid Sweetened Soluble Fiber

Cloud computing has been gaining increasing popularity over the last few years. Moreover, it is getting cheaper and cheaper, and even individual developers can afford using this technology for free with some limitation on volumes.
Google App Engine (GAE) is one cloud option. If you need a robust and scalable Web service, but you don't want to build the infrastructure yourself, GAE might be exactly what you need. With GAE, you focus only on the business side of your application, and GAE does the rest (load balancing, caching, backup, scheduling, etc.)
However, your application has to be designed according to GAE's rules. The application has some special APIs for database, caching, networking, and logging. You still can use the standard libraries of your programming language (with minor exceptions related to peculiarities of the cloud deployment). For example, the state of the application should not be stored in the memory of your app instance, and services such as the datastore should be used to persist state.
At the moment, GAE provides runtime and APIs for Java, Python, and Go. In this article, I build a sample Web service in Go and deploy it to GAE.
"Houston, We Have A Problem"
I recently faced a problem that I will use for an example Web service. The problem is real, useful, and not too sophisticated from the business-side perspective.
In the past year, I applied for a U.S. visa a couple of times at the embassy in London. Unfortunately, each time, my application required what they call "administrative processing," which can take a few weeks or even months. The updates regarding a visa are published in a PDF file on the embassy's website. The contents of that file are a table indexed by batch numbers (they assign you a batch number when you submit your application). So, to get an update of visa processing status, you download the PDF file, press CTRL-F, and search for a particular row containing your batch number.
I came up with the idea of putting a simple RESTful API on top of this manual process. Instead of fiddling with the PDF file, I'd simply go to a specific URL — for example, http://some-visa-service/batch/123456789 (where "123456789" would be the batch number) — hit enter, and it would print out the status of the application. Moreover, such an API can be easily adopted by any third-party software. The service could load the PDF in advance, parse it, and keep the contents in an internal representation. It would allow doing batch status retrievals without processing the entire PDF on each request.
This problem with U.S. visas occurred before I started playing with GAE. Initially, I implemented a simple standalone Web server in Go parsing the PDF and exposing the information via a RESTful API. Luckily, in Go, an advanced concurrent Web server can be implemented in a very few lines of code quite elegantly. Then I started thinking about hosting (VPS, for instance) where I could have my server permanently running. But such an approach gave me nothing new or exciting, and an idea about GAE emerged.
Dissecting the Problem
There are two sub problems here. The first is to programmatically parse our PDF file and extract the information. The second is the GAE deployment.
1. Parsing the PDF
Based on the PDF specifications available on the Adobe website, the contents of my particular PDF can be parsed this way:
- Load up the PDF into memory.
- Each fragment of the user information in a PDF is identified with "stream\r\n" and "endstream\r\n" markers. The blocks of data embraced by these markers are packed using the zlib inflate algorithm. So we need to find any such blocks using the markers and deflate their contents.
- Each unzipped (deflated) block of data is now a plain text containing PDF markup tags. We need to locate blocks of the text embraced by "BT\r\n" (Begin Text) and "ET\r\n" (End Text) tags. All these blocks will be collected in a list of strings.
- Inside each block of text identified in step 2 (elements of the collected list of strings), we need to find all substrings embraced by parentheses — "(" and ")'"characters. We join all these substrings, and the resulting text will be a plain text representation of the user information we are looking for. So in this step, we will be processing each string found in step 2 by removing all substrings that are not surrounded by parentheses.
- Finally, we have to identify the structure of the plain text. The batch status information in our PDF is formatted as a three column table. The columns are: batch number, status, and date. Unfortunately, the PDF contains some extra text (headers, footers, etc.) that will also appear in our parsed plain text along with the useful information (the list of strings from the step 3 will contain not only useful payload, but also some junk). We will identify the table column fields by iterating sequentially along the list of strings. If the current string looks like a batch number (11 decimal digits), we take it as the batch number, and the following two strings will be interpreted as the status update and the data accordingly. We take these three strings and jump over them further to find next potential batch number.
It all looks a little complicated, but with regular expressions, it only takes just a few lines of code to implement.
Of course, we pretty much hard-coded the format, so if clerks in the U.S. embassy change their format, it may not work anymore. But at the moment, these four steps work fine for parsing the existing PDF.
2. GAE deployment
Now, let's define our Web interface. Our application will be a Web service employing the RESTful approach in a very simple form.Let's say our service domain is "some-service.com." We will have three functions:
- http://some-service.com/batch/<number> to retrieve the status of a particular batch ("<number>" could be something like "20121234567")
- http://some-service.com/action/print/ to print out the entire table.
- http://some-service.com/action/refresh/ to reload the PDF and update the information in our Web service. This URL also will be a scheduled task executed automatically on a regular basis, keeping our information up-to-date.
The last two functions should be available only to the administrator.
Our internal representation of the data will be a map (a dictionary), in which the key is a string representing the batch number, and the value is a list of pairs holding the status and date. I found that the PDF may contain more than one record per batch number, so we need to extract all of them.
The pair is a structure defined in Go as:
type BatchUpdate struct { Status, Date string }
And the map is defined as:
type BatchTable map[string][]BatchUpdate
When the service is started, the storage (map) is empty. When a first
request comes in from the
/batch function, it downloads the PDF,
parses it, populates the data to the map, and replies back to the request.
Subsequent requests will already have all the data in storage. I can
maintain a timestamp indicating when the PDF was last parsed, and within each
request, I can check whether the data is older than a certain period of time
(and if yes, reload the PDF). I can also reload the data at regular
intervals; for instance, every hour. It is important to remember that because
the reloads may by initiated concurrently, I must synchronize access to
the storage to avoid race conditions. It is simple to manage when the storage
is in memory of the same process, but if an external persistent storage is
used, things can be tricky. I will come back to this question of synchronization
After the PDF is parsed, I place its contents in a variable of the
BatchTable type.
There is another problem here. According to GAE requirements, the application must be stateless across HTTP requests because they can be processed on physically different machines. The only way to persist is to use the Datastore API, Blobstore API, or Memcache API. Datastore is a semi-structured store allowing queries using a SQL-like approach. We could have a table in this store where the primary key is the batch number, and the status and the date are columns. Unfortunately, once a piece of data is written, it becomes visible to other instances of your application, which in turn also may update the storage at the same time. If we treat the batch records individually, we may easily end up with an inconsistency because the records from multiple concurrent refreshing processes can be mixed in the same database. Another issue is that when we load an updated PDF, we have to delete all existing records first, which, again, is not an atomic operation. Of course, transactional updates are still possible, but let's take a look at "lighter" alternatives that may be more suitable in our particular case.
Alternatively, we can serialize our map object to a byte blob and stick it in Blobstore. Blobstore can hold a lot of binary data (for instance, images). With Blobstore, we don't face the concurrency issue anymore because we will read and write the table as a whole atomically. But here, because Blobstore also keeps data on disk, we still have the redundant overhead of reading and writing the table on the disk back and forth.
Eventually, I implemented a hybrid approach using Memcache. Memcache is quite similar to Blobstore in the sense of dealing with blobs addressed by keys. Also Memcache data is visible to all instances of the application over the network. The principal difference is that Memcache keeps data in memory only. Note that the GAE documentation says that the cloud may decide to restart your application (for example, moving it to another cluster) or purge some content from Memcache to free space. So our application should expect that content may disappear from the Memcache store at any time. It could be a major problem to store individual records in Memcache. This is where the "hybrid" comes in. I will store all our data as a single record in Memcache. If it disappears, I will simply reload and parse the PDF again. Reads and writes to Memcache are atomic, so there is no concurrency issue.The GAE Memcache API has one more limitation: The length of a record value cannot be more than 1MB. The length of our PDF is about 1.6MB, but the length of the information represented as a map container is only about 200KB, so for the moment I amfar below that limit.
Here is a structure I will store in Memcache:
type Table struct { UpdateTime string Batches BatchTable }
It incorporates
BatchTable and has a field called
UpdateTime allowing to maintain the age of the data. The record
key will be a hard-coded value of
table. If the
table record exists in Memcache, we retrieve it, deserialize, and
use. If not, we load up the PDF, parse it, serialize, and store to Memcache.
Talk Is Cheap, Show Me Your Code
Now let's write some code. I'll be describing a fully functional and complete implementation of the service.
In the first lines, I declare the packages required for our application. Note, the first three packages are not standard Go packages: They are available only in the GAE.
package usvisa import ( "appengine" "appengine/memcache" "appengine/urlfetch" "bytes" "compress/zlib" "fmt" "io/ioutil" "net/http" "regexp" "strconv" "strings" "text/template" "time" "errors" )
In the next lines,
init() function is run at program initialization. Here, I
need to set the handlers corresponding to application URLs (functions).
func init() { http.HandleFunc("/batch/", Batch) http.HandleFunc("/action/refresh/", Refresh) http.HandleFunc("/action/print/", Print) }
In the next lines, I declare a constant holding a URL of the PDF file.
const ( PdfUrl = "http://photos.state.gov/libraries/unitedkingdom/164203/cons-visa/admin_processing_dates.pdf" )
Next, I declare a data structure for the contents of our PDF.
BatchTable is a map, where the key is a batch number (a string)
and the value is an array of pairs. Each pair (
BatchUpdate type)
holds a status and date.
type BatchUpdate struct { Status, Date string } type BatchTable map[string][]BatchUpdate
The next lines condtain regular expressions to dissect the PDF.
TextBlockRE matches blocks of text surrounding by "BT\r\n" and
"ET\r\n" tags.
TextRE does the same for substrings in
var ( TextBlockRE = regexp.MustCompile(`(?ms)BT\\r\\n(.+?)ET\\r\\n`) TextRE = regexp.MustCompile(`\\((.+?)\\)`) )
Next come two string constants marking data streams in a PDF document.
const ( StreamStartMarker = "stream\x0D\x0A" StreamEndMarker = "endstream\x0D\x0A" )
Now the GAE fun begins. I emphasize again that GAE applications must keep
their state via the context. The context is passed by GAE along with the
request object. We will see where the context is coming from a bit further
down. Moreover, instead of the standard HTTP client in Go, I must use
urlfetch API provided by GAE because App Engine applications don't access
network sockets. They must use the App Engine APIs to communicate with the
outside world.
In the next lines of code, there is a function loading up a file from a
given URL. After the file is read, it calls the
parse() function.
Note the lines where I do logging. Again, instead of using the standard log
package, I use logging facilities provided by the cloud and addressable
through the application context (the
c variable).
func LoadBatchTable(c appengine.Context, url string) (BatchTable, error) { c.Infof("Started downloading") duration, _ := time.ParseDuration("1m") client := &http.Client{ Transport: &urlfetch.Transport{ Context: c, Deadline: duration, AllowInvalidServerCertificate: true, }, } response, err := client.Get(url) if err != nil { c.Errorf("GET failed, [%v]", err) return nil, errors.New("GET failed") } defer response.Body.Close() contents, err := ioutil.ReadAll(response.Body) if err != nil { c.Errorf("GET read failed, [%v]", err) return nil, errors.New("ReadAll failed") } c.Infof("Loaded %d bytes\n", len(contents)) return parse(c, contents) }
In the next lines, there is a function implementing our 4th step to parse the PDF. It identifies a closest data stream in the file. If there are no markers found, we exit. Then we copy out the block and cut it from the data.
func parse(c appengine.Context, pdf []byte) (BatchTable, error) { table := make(BatchTable) for { begin := bytes.Index(pdf, []byte(StreamStartMarker)) if begin == -1 { break } pdf = pdf[begin+len(StreamStartMarker):] end := bytes.Index(pdf, []byte(StreamStartMarker)) if end == -1 { break } section := pdf[0:end] pdf = pdf[end+len(StreamEndMarker):]
Next, I unzip the data, and if it fails, I ignore the block and go for
the next one.
buf := bytes.NewBuffer(section) zr, err := zlib.NewReader(buf) if err != nil { c.Errorf("Unzip initialization failed, [%v]", err) return table, errors.New("Unzip initialization failed") } unzipped, err := ioutil.ReadAll(zr) if err != nil { c.Errorf("Unzip failed, [%v]", err) return table, errors.New("Unzip failed") }
Then, I apply the two regular expressions and accumulate found strings in
records variable, which is a list of strings.
var records []string for _, group := range TextBlockRE.FindAllSubmatch(unzipped, -1) { var lines [][]byte for _, group := range TextRE.FindAllSubmatch(group[1], -1) { lines = append(lines, group[1]) } records = append(records, string(bytes.Join(lines, []byte{}))) }
