LEROY TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Michigan State athletics officials today recalled assistant softball coach Charles Fobbs, who was killed Wednesday in a car crash, as a "wonderful human being" who was committed to working with young people.
Fobbs, 47, of Canton, Mich., was killed in a crash on eastbound Interstate 96, Michigan State Police said. Authorities said his Chevrolet HHR left the road at 6:25 p.m. and rolled multiple times after he swerved to avoid slowing traffic. He died at the scene.
Fobbs was hired as an assistant softball coach for the 2013 season, according to his official MSU biography. He had worked for the team as a volunteer coach in 2009 and specialized in hitting and catching.
From 1991-2008, Fobbs was varsity softball coach at Cass Tech High School, where his team won five Detroit Public Schools league championships, 12 district titles, a regional title and advanced to state quarterfinals. He also worked as an assistant football coach at Cass Tech in 1994-2008.
"He was an exceptional person,'' Cass Tech football head coach Thomas Wilcher told the Detroit Free Press. "He was always fun, always laughing. He was always trying to help you out, always trying to figure out how to get something done. He was always trying to figure out how to get kids ahead. He lived to make people happy. He was the only guy I knew who would sit there and coach kids all day long. That was all he wanted to do — coach kids.''
Fobbs is a 1989 graduate of the University of New Mexico, where he earned a bachelor's degree in business technology.
He founded Detroit Cannon Youth Organization, a nonprofit youth development organization for urban kids. His wife and stepdaughter live in Canton.
"I'm absolutely devastated by the loss of my very good friend and a wonderful human being," Michigan State head softball coach Jacquie Joseph said in a statement released by the school. "We have lost someone incredibly special — he dedicated his life to helping develop young people, and this is a tremendous loss. My heart is with his family and all those who had the privilege of knowing him."
Said athletics director Mark Hollis in a statement: "Our thoughts are with Charles' family and friends at this incredibly difficult time. We also have heavy hearts for Jacquie Joseph and her softball family here at MSU. More than a coach, Charles was a good friend to many here in our athletics department and across the state of Michigan."
Fobbs coached with Wilcher for 15 years at Cass Tech and was the best man in Wilcher's wedding.
"We were together for a long time,'' Wilcher said. "I liked how he always tried to make sure that a person would try to reach their potential and he understood all it would take was hard work to achieve some type of success at athletics.''
When Wilcher became head coach at Cass Tech, he coached the offense and Fobbs ran the defense before they switched roles a few years later.
Wilcher was not surprised when Fobbs decided to give up football and concentrate on coaching softball.
"He always coached softball, his dad did softball and he learned from his dad — Charlie Fobbs,'' Wilcher said. "He trained hard. He taught a lot of girls how to play softball. He was always at a softball coaches' camp. He learned a lot from other softball coaches.''
Fobbs is survived by his wife, Lisa, and stepdaughter, Hannah Shuler. Funeral arrangements are pending. MSU's Sunday doubleheader against Detroit Mercy has been canceled.
Lindsay VanHulle also writes for the Lansing (Mich.) State Journal. Mick McCabe of the Detroit Free Press contributed to this report.

The Official Jets Get Bbq'd At Arrowhead Thread
Posted 04 September 2005 - 02:15 AM
And BTW the bronco fans have already lay claim to all the Camero and mullet jokes.
Posted 04 September 2005 - 02:16 AM
the best was in the '03 playoffs when you were all yelling and screaming as loud as your little chief mouths could as manning threw the game winning touchdown. now that was alot of decibels. really. you guys were really cranking out some noise. damn! you guys were all packed into arrowhead and yelling your little brains out and then you all went quiet as manning completed the game winning pass. i couldn't tell if your guys jaws dropped or you guys decide to try mime yelling at the poor hapless manning as he sent you packing back to the reservation. i don't know what mime yelling would do to demoralize an enemy team but you guys are the master of the arrowhead and i'm sure you know what your doing but i don't think it worked that time because manning ended your season anyways.
Great post
Posted 04 September 2005 - 02:17 AM
Atleast we have our own defense. You had to steal one from some area high school team.
Posted 04 September 2005 - 02:19 AM
We also know how to beat Peyton Manning at home in the playoffs...you guys keep working on it.

And BTW the bronco fans have already lay claim to all the Camero and mullet jokes.
This guy wants to talk about statium's. . Man these guys are weak. Bring something else other then that, that makes you sound like someone who confident in their team. Their trying to school me on their Oline. . In their forum. Man forget everyone else Tell Tony to sit and Priest to ice his Knees they have the best Oline in football thier Oline alone will beat the Jets don't worry about it guys.
Your a joke
Posted 04 September 2005 - 02:33 AM
Posted 04 September 2005 - 02:43 AM
Agreed. He will not be the same Holmes that people are used to seeing. After coming off 2 reconstructed Knee's it's not humanly possible. He'll be decent.
Tony is going to be a problem. Law will shut down half the field. They like to formation shift alot at the line to throw off the opposition. As long as our guys can keep the communication going we'll do O.K.
Posted 04 September 2005 - 02:46 AM
Posted 04 September 2005 - 02:52 AM
So L.J is your starter.?
Posted 04 September 2005 - 02:55 AM
I don't think so.Preist will get most of the carries anyways.
Posted 04 September 2005 - 03:36 AM
Posted 04 September 2005 - 05:07 AM
O.K so he's going to start over Holmes. . Somebody come rescue this kid.
Posted 04 September 2005 - 10:08 AM
Just chill. Where did he say he would start. He just stated a fact that LJ had a better pre-season. The key being pre-season. We will see when it gets real.
Posted 04 September 2005 - 10:33 AM
I loved how on their site they said, "The Jets have to play a perfect game in order to beat us!" I remember hearing people say that about the Pats last year when we played them at 5-0. You know what we didn't play a perfect game, the Sowell fumble inside the 20 really screwed us over cause we were only down 6 points when the game ended. Had he not fumbled we might have kicked a FG and forced OT. Or since the Pats weren't stopping us we probably would have scored a TD. Point is we didn't play a perfect game and we still had the final drive to win the game. Anyway, they think WE have to play the perfect game to beat them. How foolish these guys are. WE proved we are one of the AFC's elite. They have proved to be a shitty defensive team for 2 seasons now. They think WE have to play the perfect game in order to win. LOL sorry guys, we all know that is BS.
Posted 04 September 2005 - 01:55 PM
Silock, good post as well my freind. Of course I was underestimating your team (except yout D-line and kicker), I'm a Jets fan! The Cheifs are very solid, no doubt about it. But you know I have to be confident in my team. Your O-line probably IS a little better, but we are right behind you if Adrian Jones can step up and perform to McKenzies level last year (as I and most think he will). He has to go against Shaun Ellis everyday in practice, so that is a huge help. Word is, that he is looking even better than anyone had expected. He has HUGE potential, he just needs to focus that into performance on the field. Hopefully this is a good game and it comes down to a 60 yarder by my boy Nugent, and he splits the uprights.
Good Luck Guys
Posted 04 September 2005 - 02:22 PM
Ty Law meet Trent Greent.
There now you've been officially introduced.
Oh I almost forgot John Abraham, Shaun Ellis, Dewayne Robertson and Vilma.
I think they're gonna get to know you real well.
Yeah...we'll see how Pennington likes Bell on his azz.
Posted 04 September 2005 - 02:23 PM
You're pretty hot girl...
Posted 04 September 2005 - 02:26 PM
hahah. Good one smart guy. Don't quit your day job.
Posted 04 September 2005 - 03:58 PM
BLEEDGREEN, I agree with your assessment of HERM and the JETS! Little kids who are refugees from the JUNIOR JETS forum should not post here. They simply can not disagree without stupidity and childish statements! Please excuse HERMSMYHERO and hope that he has homework to do and won't post much longer with the adults!
Posted 04 September 2005 - 04:07 PM
I agree completely! SCREW HERMSMYHERO and his childish rants. When a JETS fan can not express an opinion without being told to" get the Fk out of here" by a child who happens to disagree, then we simply have nothing in common. BLEEDGREEN, do you think that the refugee from the JUNIOR JETS forum agrees with everything his DADDY and MOMMY say to him? Do you think he tells them to "get the fk" out of here? I don't! Lets hope he has lots of homework to do and has no time to post on an adult forum!

Skip to comments.40 Excuses And A Mule (Ann Coulter On Democrats And The Liberal Plantation Syndrome)
Posted on 10/27/2004 4:27:40 PM PDT by goldstategop
White liberals have been indulging their fantasies of violence against conservatives lately physically attacking conservatives, ransacking Bush-Cheney headquarters (though not any NRA headquarters, I note). The white wife of vice presidential candidate John Edwards recently warned of riots unless Kerry is elected.
In the midst of this rash of violence by white liberals, this week Al Gore admonished a group of blacks not to engage in violence over the election. Perhaps Gore should have saved that speech for a convocation of Moveon.org members.
And Democrats wonder why they have to ask white people to hold "African-Americans for Kerry-Edwards" signs at their rallies as happened in St. Petersburg, Fla., last Saturday. The Kerry campaign is hemorrhaging black voters like teenaged girls fleeing an R. Kelly house party. None of the Democrats' top black leaders Jesse, Al, Bill Clinton has been able to stem the tide.
Here's the deal on politics and race in America: Republicans don't need black voters, but they want them. Democrats don't want black voters, but they need them. Blacks have been the Democrats' most loyal voters, typically giving the party upward of 90 percent of their vote. But Democrats ignore blacks.
That's according to none other than the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who said precisely that in a speech to "Campaign for America's Future" at the Democratic National Convention this summer.
Now, with the election less than a week away, the Kerry campaign is dashing off to every black church in the country. Bill Clinton had to interrupt an important sponge bath with someone named "Bunny" to come to Kerry's rescue in Philadelphia. (Possible slogan: "Kerry The Same as Clinton, Without the Burning Sensation.")
The Democrats' inspired 11th-hour message to black voters is: Here are your crumbs, your scraps, your measly handouts. Too bad you're so childish, incompetent and dependent, huh? Now run along and cast your vote for the guy with the "D" next to his name and we'll see you in four years, 'K? Buh-bye, now.
With no fanfare, President Bush has placed black stars like Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell in top positions in his administration. Kerry waited for complaints that the only black people in his campaign were setting up folding chairs at rallies before finding blacks for any prominent positions. (Another campaign slogan: "John Kerry: Pretending to Fight for Blacks Since Very Recently.")
Among loony liberal ideas polling especially badly among blacks is the Democrats' gusto for gay marriage.
Gay marriage is a tricky issue for the Democrats due to the fact that like taxes, defense and education they are forced to lie about their position when running for office. In other words, Democrats are gay marriage supporters trapped in the bodies of candidates who oppose gay marriage. And no issue-reassignment surgery can help them.
By contrast, blacks like Republicans and most Americans in general not only believe gay marriage is wrong, but are willing to publicly state this belief.
Bush opposes gay marriage. Kerry is for it and he has always been consistent on that by taking every position imaginable on gay marriage. Kerry's got more gay marriage positions than the Kama-sutra, including the "yawning dog," the "courtesan's dilemma" and the "flip-flopping weasel."
Campaigning in Missouri about a month ago, Kerry began the day saying he was opposed to Missouri's constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman. By the end of the day, Kerry was claiming he supported the amendment and, indeed, that his position on gay marriage was identical to Bush's.
Later, Kerry retracted his support for the Missouri marriage amendment, telling a gay magazine that he hadn't read the amendment and, in fact, he opposed it. (More campaign slogan ideas: "John Kerry won't just take a stand on the tough issues he'll take two or three of them!")
When Kerry's strategy of being both for gay marriage and against it failed to fool blacks, he sent Jesse Jackson out to black churches to tell the parishioners to set aside their views on gay marriage and vote for Kerry anyway. What are blacks getting out of this deal again?
Compensating for his progressive views on gay marriage, Kerry supports federal funding for partial-birth abortions. Taxpayer-supported abortion on demand should make "Emily's List" feminists happy, but it has not been a big hit with black ministers.
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was quite explicit about using abortion as a tool to reduce the minority population. She said the goal of Planned Parenthood was to "give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization." Even today, talk to any white liberal about abortion and within 60 seconds he will raise the black "overpopulation" problem.
We hear a lot about the 2 million people in America's jails and how many of them are black, but we rarely talk about the 35 to 40 million abortions since Roe v. Wade and how many of those babies were black. When your position on black abortion is identical to the Klan's, maybe it's time to reconsider.
Kerry's supporters are reaching out to blacks by demanding that black cabdrivers in New York City who support Bush be fined and suspended. When taxi driver Etzer Jerome told his sensitive Upper West Side passenger he had voted for Bush, she demanded that he pull over and let her out, yelling at him: "How can a black man vote for Bush?" and "I'm going to f--- you!" She then filed a complaint against Jerome with the Taxi and Limousine Commission alleging that Jerome had "verbally harassed her." He was fined $500 and given a three-week suspension.
On the bright side, the Democrats offer black voters loads and loads of meaningless abstractions that will have absolutely no effect on their lives. "Jobs," for example. (Just not any of the important jobs in a Kerry administration.)
Democrats' extravagant claims about creating "jobs" are as credible as their claims that they will allow the wheelchair-bound to walk. Among the jobs that are currently not available to Americans are these being performed in China under a free-trade bill voted for by John Kerry. (New campaign slogan: "John Kerry: Betraying America Since 1971.")
And apparently, black voters can also look forward to a lot of patronizing demagoguery from the Democrats, such as the claim that Republicans maliciously suppressed the black vote in Florida in 2000.
Kerry claims Republicans disenfranchised 1 million black voters in Florida in 2000, but neglects to mention that after extensive and expensive hearings, the U.S. Civil Rights Commission failed to name a single one of them. Can you name just one out of that "million," Sen. Kerry? We've found more WMDs in Iraq than we've found disenfranchised blacks in Florida.
Indeed to the contrary! in 2000, blacks composed 11 percent of registered voters in Florida, but made up 17 percent of those who actually voted. If that's how Republicans "suppress" the black vote, blacks are better off when Republicans attack them than when Democrats pretend to be nice to them.
Amen Ann! Why is it there's a African-Americans for Kerry-Edwards store in an area that supposed to vote him anyway? HMMMMMM... I felt like driving my car right in the front door.
We need an Ann Coulter picture in here pretty quick
Ann Coulter Wednesday night release!
Ann COulter, the new American icon of the Conservative movement. This lady has balls and does not get intimidated by the angry, unhinged liberal rabid left wing of the Democratic-Socialist Party.
The biggest surprise in this entire election will be the number of blacks voting for bush. If the dems cant get 90% of the black vote, they will not see the White House for a very long time.
Dammit! Ann, you owe me a keyboard!!
I'm convinced that's why that damned AAs for Kerry shop opened up near me. My mayor is running against Carolyn McCarthy for congress. I hope everyone will forget he's a republican! LOL
"The Kerry campaign is hemorrhaging black voters like teenaged girls fleeing an R. Kelly house party."
Are you allowed to say that?
"Kerry's got more gay marriage positions than the Kama-sutra, including the "yawning dog," the "courtesan's dilemma" and the "flip-flopping weasel."
and on any other topic for that matter...gotta love her!
"When your position on black abortion is identical to the Klan's, maybe it's time to reconsider" YOUR REFUSAL TO JOIN...
Ms. Coulter says it well, but it might be possible to introduce incremental improvements.
Here is a picture of Jesse Jackson marching with N.O.W. (National Organization of Women, a radical feminist group) members against Welfare Reform, along with the results of the reforms they opposed. State Reform took effect around 1992-1994 and the National Bill was passed in 1996. The Republicans swept the house in 1994 promising a Contract with America. People are the same the world over. It is the political structure and governmental interference that make all the difference. Get Government out of peoples lives and they will succeed. To believe people cannot succeed without government help is to subscribe to what President Bush calls, the soft bigotry of low expectations. The reason they arent succeeding is BECAUSE of the government help! For some reason, saying these things and passing bills that help millions of people out of poverty is said by the left to be cruel, hardnosed and racist.
"Kerry The Same as Clinton, Without the Burning Sensation."
African Americans for Kerry: 'cuz it sure ain't the other way around!
Kerry's supporters are reaching out to blacks by demanding that black cabdrivers in New York City who support Bush be fined and suspended.
*** The cabbie in question is from Haiti, and this snotty liberal thought she knew more about his country than he did. She tried to tell him what a wonderful man Aristide was. Yeah whatever! Amazing how ballsy these liberals are.
Happiness is reading Ann Coulter on FR on Wednesday afternoon.
Vote Bush!
Yes, just look at the major cities like cleveland. They have been dem strongholds for a very long time. The conversion for the blacks in those areas are going to be a 10-20 year process.
Domina DemoCRAZY rulez!
Go on !
CAUTION: If you are a white Caucasian American and a liberal, chances are good you are a bigot and a white supremist. Or a former recruiter for the KKK....
It's one of the reasons, for instance, I will admit, why I think abortion is so important. It has a disproportionate and horrifying impact on the black community.
Did you know that something like thirteen million black babies have been killed since Roe v. Wade, as a result of this holocaust of abortion? Did you know that the black population today is something like twenty-five percent less than it would otherwise be, because of abortion? Did you know that black women are disproportionately likely to have abortions, that more black babies are being aborted today than are being born, and that, as you project these kinds of tendencies into the future, the black population becomes a negligible factor in American politics and other things, over the course of the twenty-first century?
I look back on black Americans with a heritage of oppression and slavery that, unfortunately, is involved in this question as well, because seventy-eight percent of the abortion clinics that are provided by the most numerous provider of abortions in America, Planned Parenthood, are located in or near the black community. Blacks are thirteen percent of the population. They account for over a third of the abortions.
Ahhhhh, Ann has my vote anyday.
I love her line, "I think I'm a moderate, and that the rest of the country is insane." Me too Ann!
Quite interesting that Kerry has no blacks high up in his 'team'. I guess there's no reason to go hunting for tokens when even Kerry doesn't feel he's got a hope in hell of winning.
'White liberals have been indulging their fantasies of violence against conservatives lately physically attacking conservatives, ransacking Bush-Cheney headquarters (though not any NRA headquarters, I note).'
Can't figure why they haven't invaded the NRA, lots of conservatives there.
I really look forward to reading her columns, her words cut like a razor :-)
Thanks for the read.
It seems Ann has perfected the art of stating facts concisely with a dash of humor to communicate ideas more effectively than any conservative voice I know of.
Slam Dunk! Percentage points are so much fun to play with! :-)
Hmmmmm, that is a mystery. ;^)
Faif wif out public works be dead bros.
That is what pisses me of the most with liberals. They think we are too dumb to vote or find a polling place. More and more blacks like me are tired of jackson and sharpton speaking for us.
Oh, that LEATHER!!!
And Alan didn't even mention the other ugly thought that never seems to strike the black community as ironic - the majority of the docs who kill their babies in the abortuaries are white. The Klansmen of today still wear white coats.....
Exceptional presentation of facts and logic. Exceptional zingers. Tyical Ann.
Get off this thread! I'm sick of you getting on threads about black people and making an ass of yourself while you bend over for illegal Mexicans who aren't citizens of this great country.
I have not read it anywhere, but apart from the % of blacks who will vote for Bush, the Dems will be surprised at the number of them who are going to stay home. When polled, they will be called "Likely Voters" because they voted in 2000. This doesn't mean they will be voting for Kerry now as they don't like him.
The transformation of blacks into Republican voters will take years, however there will be a transitional period where they will either stay home, or where their children will be voting Republican. I cannot wait to see fellow Christians vote their conscience instead of being laughed at by charlatans like Jesse Jackson.

Let your love take wing! This pendant presents a heart-shaped, bright pink simulated diamond with two petite wings. The wings are set with sparkling white simulated diamonds. The cheerful bubblegum color and whimsical motif is sure to set your spirits soaring!
Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
On the Mohs Scale, which measures the hardness of minerals, cubic zirconia is an 8.0 to 8.5. It is important to understand that hardness is not necessarily related to durability. Even though diamond is the hardest mineral (10.0 on the Mohs Scale), it can still be chipped or broken.
The only ways to tell the difference between cubic zirconia and diamond are by use of a thermal probe, by weighing the loose stone or by microscopic examination of surface features and inclusions. Cubic zirconia weighs approximately 65% more than diamond. Therefore, while a 6.25 mm round diamond weighs about 1.00 carat, the same size cubic zirconia weighs about 1.65 carats. If you know the weight of a cubic zirconia, you can figure out the diamond weight equivalent by multiplying the cubic zirconia weight by 0.6, or 60%.
Few natural diamonds on the market today are perfectly cut, and those that are cost much more than the usual diamond. Unleashing the fire, beauty and brilliance of a stone depends on its precise cut. Simulated diamonds are an excellent balance between quality, beauty and price.
Brilliance: The white light leaving a jewel, traveling upward, which is visible to the eye. Brilliance is sometimes referred to as "sparkle."
Dispersion: Flashes of rainbow colors. Also called "fire."
Hardness: Resistance to scratching. The higher the number, the more resistant.
Luster: The shininess of a jewel.
Toughness: Resistance to breakage.

Seem's Trion is anyways since its really nothing more than some chinese hackers trying to steal source code they wont be able to use anyway and is probably outdated by now.
over a four year period, likely old news.
so who knows when this actually happened, or the extent, or what was compromised.
the rest of the article is interesting, but lacks details.
I feel sorry for Trion, I found them cool....
try before buy, even if it's a game to avoid bad surprises.
Worst surprises for me: Aion, GW2
Well the report says MANY were hacked.
I can see Trion as a target becuase they have been doing well.I also can see NEOWIZ because their two upcoming games Bless and ummm EIN look pretty good.
I think the msot important thing yo ucan take from it is that when devs go around blaming the players for hacked acoounts,you know they are not being fair or letting out the whole truth.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

UNEP Welcomes European Union Ratification of Biosafety Protocol
Nairobi, June 2002 - Klaus Toepfer, the Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), said he hoped that the EU's move would inspire more countries to ratify the Protocol so that it can come into force.
"Industry is convinced that genetically modified crops and other organisms are the key to boosting harvests and increasing food security in a more environmentally-friendly way. Others have their doubts and are concerned that these products pose a risk to the environment and human health," he said.
"The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety is an attempt to reconcile these trade and environmental protection issues. It is not only the first legal, environment treaty, to institutionalize the precautionary approach, but establishes the advanced informed consent procedure. This requires those nations exporting genetically modified organisms, or Living Modified Organisms (LMOs) as they are known under the Protocol, to inform countries who import them. This allows the receiving country to decide whether or not to accept the shipment," said Mr. Toepfer.
He said critical to the success of this system is that developing countries should have the scientific and legal skills in place for evaluating and dealing with such imports before the Protocol comes into force.
UNEP, with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), has embarked on a $38.4 million, three-year, project to assist developing countries in this area.
The Cartagena Protocol was adopted in January 2000. Fifty ratifications are needed for it to come into force. There are indications that sufficient numbers of countries could have ratified by the end of the year meaning that the Protocol would come into force in 2003.
"Global issues, such as the trade in genetically modified organisms, require global, multi-lateral deals. The ratification by the EU and the indications from countries gives us the hope that the Cartagena Protocol will indeed come into force in the not too distant future. But there are many others, such as the Kyoto Protocol on climate change, aimed at dealing with a range of pressing, global, environmental issues. Let countries now find the political will, especially in the run up to WSSD, to ratify these other legally binding instruments so that they too can come into force to help deliver a safer, healthier, world for this and future generations," said Mr. Toepfer.
He said the $38.4 million project to build developing countries' capacity in the field of biosfatey also underlined the importance of the GEF. It is due for replenishment this year.
"Another concrete outcome of the WSSD would be firm pledges by nations to replenish the GEF at a high level. This multi-billion dollar fund has proven itself an efficient and potent weapon in the war against environmental degradation and the fight for a more sustainable world. Let us not miss the opportunity to give it the support it so richly deserves," said Mr. Toepfer.

About Tung Saw
Tung Saw is a very bitter herb. Benefits are much far better than its taste. Capsule is easy to consume at any time. You no need to worry about "bad" herb taste in your mouth. Tung Saw is a good supportive herb for Butea Superba and Krachaidam. You can take this capsule during your Butea Superba treatment without complications.
Please read detailed information below what Tung Saw herb is about. Our Tung Saw is fully grown in Thailand without pesticides and poisonous chemicals.
Tung Saw is a tree native to the jungles of Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. It is commonly known as Tongkat Ali in Malaysia and Singapore, Tung Saw in Thailand, and Pasak Bumi in Indonesia.
Tung Saw appears to work by increasing levels of the hormone testosterone. Testosterone is primarily responsible for the growth and development of male reproductive organs, including the penis, testicles, scrotum, prostate, and seminal vesicles. Normal testosterone levels maintain energy level, mood, fertility, and sexual desire.
Because of its testosterone-enhancing properties, Tung Saw (tongkat ali) is also used by bodybuilders to increase muscle mass and strength. X-Tra Strong Tung Saw extract available in February 2009.
How to take it
We recommend to take 2 capsule per day (morning one capsule and evening second one). Do not take at same time. If you want to combine the power of Butea Superba Extract. Taking BSE after 1 week of using Tung Saw capsules. You can boost your performance level higher week after week in 5-6 months of intensive use.
Take a note that if you take Tung Saw capsule after a high-fat meal (such as fish 'n' chips, fatty beef or pork stake, cheeseburger or French fries), it absorb much slower & less and it takes much longer to start working.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of Tung Saw, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule.
Store Tung Saw at room temperature, between 68-77°F (20-25°C). Store away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Keep it out of the reach of children. When opened, best usage in 8 months time. Close cap well after usage.
Even we are NOT dealing with medicine here but you should read all warnings and precautions carefully. It's better to know all possible scenarios to avoid problems.
Warnings / Precautions
Enhancing TSC effects
You can take Krachaidam or Butea Superba capsule or extract to boost effects. Butea Superba extract gives you extra boost in short time. Peak of better performance can be reached faster.
Reported side effects include insomnia, anxiety, and restlessness. Do not overdose Tung Saw.
If you wish to purchase wholesale box of 20, 50, 68, 120 or 168 units please contact us.

Wish I could love these...but I can't.
"I bought these for a wedding that I was recently a bridesmaid in. I had to wear silver shoes and couldn't really find any that I liked until I saw these. When I tried them on, they seemed okay, but then I wore them for the wedding. They were awful. These are literally the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn and I regret buying them. If they weren't already worn, I would return them. They dug into the bones in my foot, cut my feet in several places, didn't fit in the front, outside, or back, and they were so terrible that I couldn't wear them for longer than 30 minutes and ended up changing into flats that didn't match. I definitely don't recommend these."

"These are just as they appear in the photo. Very cute and perfect for the event I was shopping for. The only thing that I'm working on is the inner side of the shoe, it is a bit tight. I think a few days of stretching them out will take care of that, though. Very cute :)"

"I've been having a really hard time finding a silver shoe for my cousin's wedding that didn't have a 4 inch heel. When I came across these, I got really excited. I have a pair of black shoes in the same exact style by a different designer, and hoped these would be just as comfortable. THEY ARE! It's a 3 inch heel so it's completely reasonable for all day wear and even though I thought I would never wear the silver shoes again, I can't wait to wear these for work, with jeans, and just all of the time. WONDERFUL!"

Never Thought I'd See The Day
by Howard Simon
posted Jun 5 2012 12:00AM
Moments after the New York Rangers won their first Stanley Cup in 54 years, a long suffering fan in the delirious crowd at Madison Square Garden held up a sign that read "Now I can die in peace." I thought of that sign last Friday night.
I'm as old as the New York Mets franchise since both of us were born in 1962. Technically they have me by a couple of months since they started in April of that year and I didn't get my first Mets diaper until June.
In my lifetime I have seen the Mets win division titles and pennants and even 2 World Championships. I've seen some great individual players over the years including my all-time favorite, Tom Seaver, a Hall of Famer.
I've seen just about everything you can see from a baseball team except a no hitter. There have been plenty of one hitters but never in the history of the franchise had a Mets pitcher thrown a no hitter.
They've done it after wearing the Blue and Orange. In fact, 7 former Mets have accounted for 13 no hitters with other teams.
Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan, Dwight Gooden and David Cone were the best of the bunch and all had their historic moments after leaving the Mets.
It all changed last Friday when Johan Santana, in the Mets 51
season and in their 8020
game, tossed the first no hitter in franchise history.
Next to the 1986 post season, this is now my next "greatest memory" in Mets history.
I found out about the no hitter as the top of the 7
game to an end. Watching the 8
and 9
innings was unbelievably nerve wracking. I even sweated through the Mets at bats in the 7
and 8
, worrying that Santana was waiting too long to get back out on the mound.
My heart skipped a beat on every ball off the bat of a Cardinals player. Every fly ball felt like a flare that was going to drop in. A little roller that went foul on the third base side seemed like a puny infield hit that would torment me and my fellow Mets fans for the rest of our lives.
I did observe the proper protocol for a situation like this. I texted my brothers and my son with the generic "Are you watching the Mets game?" message. By rule, I was not allowed to type the words "Santana no hitter through seven."
I flashed back to near misses by Seaver in his brilliant Mets career. Some guy named Jimmy Qualls from the Chicago Cubs broke up Seaver's bid for a perfect game back in 1969 with 1 out in the 9
. I couldn't tell you anything about his career other than that's the guy who broke up Seaver's perfect game and broke the heart of a then 7 year old Mets fan.
When Santana got the final out, all those years of frustration came pouring out in the form of a primal scream. I quickly called both of my brothers to celebrate and made sure to set the DVR to record the re-broadcast of the game so I have it saved forever.
After all, it took the Mets 50 years to get their first no hitter and I'm not sure I'll be around another 50 years to see the next one.
I have my sign ready. Now all I need is for the Bills and/or Sabres to win a Championship and then I'll be able to "die in peace."
