Bilstein 5100's VS RS9000's
OK, about to order my Teraflex 2.5" coli lift, but am curious on which shock will give me a better ride. I see the Bilstein's are a favorite on here, but I am curious how much more will the adjustability of the 9000's help out. I live in Louisiana and many roads here do leave a lot to be desired. I do travel 2 hours to work, once every 2 weeks.
Thanks guys! :thumb:
Can't speak on the Bilstein. I have the RS9000
I really like that they are adjustable. My ride quality on road is just as important as off road. And I believe I got the best of both worlds. So glad I went with these!!!
I am interested as well and have been looking at both. Can't wait to read some replies.
The Ranco 9000XL is great for onroad driving. Love them. Have them set at 5 Front and 4 Rear. Rides so much better on the road compared to stock.
I think most anything would ride better than stock.
I've got the Bilstein's on a 2.5 RK lift. I was prepared for the harsh ride but wow it is harsher than expected. I'm kinda kicking myself for not going with the Rancho Adjustables.... Haven't gotten it off road since the lift and shocks, since its been snowing for the last 2 months, so I don't have any experience with their performance there yet.
I have blistein 5100's an they ride smooth as can be. Stiffen up over bumps an offroad but ride smooth on the road.
I have the Ranchos /w TF 2.5 and love them. I've never had the bill steins so I can't compare first hand. The ride of the Ranchos is great off/on road. I,m very happy with my purchase of both RS and TF lift and would purchase the same next time.
Bilstein is the best when it comes to shocks !
I haven't gotten off road yet either...
Ne question the Ranchos adjust-ability can not be beat for the price range.
With the non adjustable shocks what you get is what you get. With the Ranchos if you feel its to sitff just crank them down some. Offroad feel like you need more crank them up.
Rock Krawler 2.5" lift with 5100 Bilsteins and a Bilstein Steering Damper. The ride to me is an improvement and much more to my liking over the stock set up. It is firm, responsive and no harsh ride. The stock setup was to soft and had a light feel to it. The tires on my JKU now are a D range tire and even at 29 psi are firmer over bumps than the OEM passenger car rated Goodyears. I feel the hard ride encountered by some may come from the tires and higher air pressure in the tires. In my case Discount had my Duratrac tires at 36 or 38 psi, dropping it down to 29 made a huge difference. I have Rancho Shocks on our 04 Rubicon and they were decent when new and are still doing a good job 40,000 miles and 8 years later.
I have the TF 2.5 with Bilstein 5100's. Love the ride.
i have the TF 2.5 lift, just ordered the skyjacker m95 monotube shocks. they havent arrived yet so i cant speak to how the ride is, but they were definitely cheaper then the 5100s..... i found nothing but great reviews on them. i didnt want anything adjustable such as the rancho 9000s although im sure they're a great shock as well..... the TF lift has been awesome :-)
90000s all the way
These bilsteins need more body weight to go smooth. Too much unsprung weight and a jeep with only a few trinkets will probably ride stiff and do the harlem shake over an imperfect road. Mine does :(, if I pack the wrangler with a bunch of weight and put 5 people on it, It rides much smoother. More weight on top makes the shock yield more.
I will probably buy some ranchos to see what the hype is about with being adjustable and all.
I should've been a little more specific. The ride on road overall is fine. Speed bumps, pot holes etc shake the shit out of the jeep now more than it did with leveling kit and rubi shocks. It doesn't feel like the bilstiens dampen drastic impacts as well. I'm hoping when I get it Offroad ill notice the benefits.
In terms if weight, I have a stubby RR front bumper with warn XD9000i winch and a 33 on stock rear bumper/tire carrier.
My experience with 5100s is firmer ride with less nose dive and body roll. Rides more like a truck.

I'd go with the Ranchos. I prefer a more compliant ride. The adjustability is a bonus. This guarantee is fantastic too.
Definitely Ranchos. Had them on three different SUV's and now the Jeep. Love the adjustable ride feature.
Been running the 5100s since I returned the RK RRDs. The 5100s are a significant improvement, though they are a firm shock. However, the damping is good, as is the rebound...far better valved than the RRD. I don;t know about the Fox shocks but I am willing to bet that the compression is too stiff for me.
Back to the 5100s- I like them as long as I keep my tires at 24 psi. The tires (35" MTR Kevlars) are a bit stiff still and should be broken in over the next couple of weekend offroad. The shocks may break in too...they are less than two weeks old. Running the tires for a few hours at 10 PSI will do the trick. Then I will raise it to maybe 26/27. It this point if I wanted a softer shocks, I'd try the Old Man Emu Nitrochargers (not Sports) first and Ranchos next. However, I am going to keep the 5100s.
Three sets of Bilsteins now on three different JKs. They seem a little stiff at first but the break-in seems to be 500 miles or 100 miles in Moab for the last set. The ride is perfect after break-in, don't form your opinion before then if you buy them.
It took me a bit to get used to our monotube shock after having 9000's on our JK's for a long time (set at 3-4). The difference between a high pressure shock (monotube) and a shock with a lower charge is quite different. I am now on my personal JK running our RS7000MT monotube. Our 90 day guarantee also applies to this shock.... :)
So what is the difference in ride between the 9000 and RS7000MT? How is the compression and rebound different? I think Bilstein valves 5100s well for the JK/JKU but not sure how your valving compares to your valving or ride feel. I think the 5160s are a bit stiffer but the 5100s may be the most popular shock on lifted JKs and Toyotas, along with Old Man Emu.
9000 with the adjustabilty will either be soft or firm depending on where you want to set them, this is accomplished by a screw that controls the oil. The overall body and rod are bigger on the 9000 as well. Often times with a twin tube design of a shock ( what many/most shocks are) you will get "fade" over long uses of time.
The 7000 is is a firmer/responsive ride. With the high pressure nitrogen charge it has a quicker damping response. They shine on roads like a fire road that is rutted out for a long period. In general we have more valving for more applications than other players out there (not counting custom valving/pressure that can be accomplished via a CO or the like), think we have it valved for the Ford, Chevy and Dodge 1/2 tons not for a general application. We are constantly working on our valving as well.
Hope this helps.
I am trying to get a sheet we have that shows these differences too. Hopefully get that soon.
This is definitely helpful and we can frame the shock's action to the desired terrain and ride feel. I do have twisty washboard fireroads that can be pretty dangerous since most have a huge drop on one side. However, most of my offroading is done on slower trails. The 5100s are a good compromise, but I am always looking for significant improvements off road and on pavement.

Never really gave the 5100's a chance. spine shockingly harsh IMO. The 9000's I ran for about a year were a great shock.
The Fox shocks I have now seem more responsive but firmer. Not for everybody but my jeep is not my DD no more.
For DD and weekend warrior, I would go with the 9000's again without thought.

Cissie: Is Joanna dead, Mr. Brenner?
Mr. Brenner: She tried to kill me with that axe!
Cissie: Yes, she always was an impatient woman.
[Closing Narration]
Alfred Hitchcock: She was no sissy. As a matter of fact, that was her downfall. She wanted to steady her nerves before the police came, so she took a few slugs. Very sad. Except for the newspapers, who detected a love triangle. The picture papers had more fun than at a hanging. Well, so much for tonight's cooking demonstration. I hope I made everything clear. Next time, I shall show you how to prepare an exotic delicacy – white hunter a la Mau Mau. You'll be the talk of your neighborhood. I shall also reveal one of my own culinary secrets: how to remove the wrapper from a frozen food package without tearing the directions. Good night.
[Opening Narration]
[As we begin, Alfred is wearing a chef's hat and holding two ladles in an "X" in front of him]
Alfred Hitchcock: Good evening. Tonight we offer you a generous portion of mystery, a pinch of comedy, just a soupcon of a commercial, all seasoned by a few irrelevant comments from your host. As you may know, food is a hobby of mine. I don't claim to be an expert cook, but I am rather a good eater.
[As he speaks, he wanders to a table filled with test tubes and beakers]
Alfred Hitchcock: If you will wander into my kitchen, I'll allow you to watch me as I concoct some delicacy to tempt your palate. I cannot abide careless cookery.
[Alfred lays down the ladles and picks up a cookbook]
Alfred Hitchcock: Let me see. I've, uh, I've just added 10 cc's of sugar. All that is left is to add the white of one egg. And by the white, I do not refer to the clear gelatinous substance inside. Naturally, I mean the shell. This is where most amateur cooks make their mistakes. While you are waiting for me to finish, I suggest you turn your attention to tonight's story. It is called, Conversation Over a Corpse. It sounds like perfect dinner conversation.

Mary Bickerdyke - A Civil
War Hero
Mary Ann Bickerdyke (1817-1901) - Known
as Mother Bickerdyke, she was an energetic heroine whose sole aim during
Civil War
was to more efficiently care for wounded Union soldiers. Born in Knox
County, Ohio, to Hiram Ball and Annie Rodgers Ball, she later moved to
Widowed two years before the war began, she supported herself and her two
half-grown sons by practicing as a "botanic physician" in Galesburg.
When a young Union volunteer physician wrote
home about the filthy, chaotic military hospitals at
Galesburg's citizens collected $500 worth of supplies and selected
Bickerdyke to deliver them.
She stayed in Cairo
as an unofficial nurse, and through her unbridled energy and dedication
she organized the hospitals and gained
Ulysses S. Grant's appreciation. Here, she also worked alongside another famed
Civil War
Nurse, Mary J. Stafford. When
Grant's army moved down the
Mississippi River, Bickerdyke went too, becoming the Chief of Nursing and setting up
hospitals where they were needed.
She was adamant about cleanliness, dedicated
to improving the level of care, and unafraid of stepping on male toes. She
insisted on scrubbing every surface in sight, would report drunken
physicians, and on one occasion ordered a staff member, who had illegally
appropriated garments meant for the wounded, to strip. Though she
antagonized male physicians, staff, and soldiers alike, in the name of
better patient care, she won most of her fights.
Mary Ann Bickerdyke by A.H.
Ritchie, 1867
William T. Sherman
was especially fond of the volunteer nurse who
followed the western armies, and supposedly she was the only woman he
would allow in his camp. When his staff complained about the outspoken,
insubordinate female nurse who consistently disregarded the army's red
tape and military procedures, Sherman
threw up his hands and exclaimed, "Well, I
can do nothing for you, she outranks me."
Running roughshod over anyone who stood in the
way of her self-appointed duties, when a surgeon questioned her authority
to take some action, she replied, "On the authority of Lord God Almighty,
have you anything that outranks that?"
She was known affectionately to her "boys",
the grateful enlisted men, as "Mother" Bickerdyke and the soldiers would
cheer here when she appeared.
During the war, she worked closely with Eliza
Emily Chappell Porter of the Northwest Sanitary Commission, worked on the
first hospital boat, helped build 300 hospitals and aided the wounded on
19 battlefields including the Battle of Shiloh, the Battle of Vicksburg,
and Sherman's March to the Sea.
When the war was over, she rode at the head of
the XV Corps in the Grand Review in Washington at
William T. Sherman's request.
Afterwards, she worked for the Salvation Army
in San Francisco, and became an attorney, helping Union veterans with
legal issues. Later, she ran a hotel in Salina, Kansas for a time before
retiring to Bunker Hill, Kansas.
She received a special pension of $25 a month
from Congress in 1886. She died peacefully after a minor stroke November
8, 1901. Her remains were transported back to Galesburg,
and she was interred next to her husband at the Linnwood Cemetery.
In memory of this selfless heroine, a statue
of her was erected in Galesburg, Illinois
and two ships -- a hospital boat and a liberty ship were named after her.

I know we have all seen the detective shows on TV. Just don't do what they always do on TV. If there is a weapon on the ground, DO NOT PICK UP A FALLEN WEAPON. You don't want your hair, blood, sweat, breath vapor, or anything else on a fallen weapon if it is not yours. Don't let anyone else pick it up, either.
I always laugh when someone on TV comes across a dead body, the first thing they do is to pick up the murder weapon. I know it's in the script, but come on, let's have a little reality once in a while.

At 10mm over using 1098 cylinders is efectivly a short stroke 1098, similar to the many 749/924 kits we sold should be good for an average of 20HP thruout the rev range.
More fuel is needed so will need a Microtec, Nemesis, Rapid Bike or Powercommander. The first in house job will have a Microtec and full Leo pipe so will have a map from it.
Normaly takes them 30 days so not sure on delivery date with the holidays, have 3 sets pre-sold. Should be a kit price around $1800 for pistons, rings, pins, clips, new cylinders and oem 1098 head gaskets.

An Investment Opinion
And just as fast, our day-to-day oriented market wags, who had absolutely nothing good to say about anything just a few days ago, have suddenly taken their "happy pills." It's as if the steep drops from last month are as relevant as the Great Depression. What on earth is going on? We get a sliver of news that is "weaker than expected" and the market takes off like a Labrador chasing a squirrel with a T-bone tied to it.
Craziness, I tell you. But deeper, I think this is yet another nail in the coffin of Efficient Market Theory (EMT). I'd be interested to see a business case that shows CMGI (Nasdaq: CMGI) being worth $165 per share in March, $44 at the beginning of this week and $55 now. For those of you playing the home game, that's a drop of 73% over two months, and then a gain of 25% back in a period of five days. Is someone going to stand up and explain to me exactly what they're doing in Andover, Massachusetts from a business perspective that would make these market moves seem logical?
Efficient Market Theory (EMT) holds that the public markets are efficient in pricing every piece of information that every investor has at the same time that it becomes available. As such, the current price for a stock accurately represents the true intrinsic value of the company at that time. So the market was efficient on March 10, when the Nasdaq stood over 5000 and the Dow was at 9700, and it is now, less than three months later, with the Nasdaq off 37% and the Dow up 11%. EMT has a great deal of merit to it, but it misses two key issues: private information, including those influential analyst recommendations that may or may not be "on the level"; and emotions, which effect even the most stalwart investor at times.
I fully believe that over the long run that the market is an accurate measure of the quality of underlying businesses. But what do these short-term moves mean? That Mr. Market's Zoloft prescription ran out?
And it's not as if CMGI is the only one. Internet Capital Group (Nasdaq: ICGE) suddenly shows life: After having dropped from $155 in March down 85% to $23 on Monday, it rockets back up 37% THIS WEEK to just shy of $36. Or, take JDS Uniphase (Nasdaq: JDSU), down 50% in three months, but up 29% this week.
There are some years that whole markets won't move 20%, and the Nasdaq does it not only in one week, but in the week immediately following some nauseating drops. So the bear is back in hibernation, the bull once again rules Wall Street. Where last week an investment radio show host was touting different bond issues at 7% yield, the same guy was back on the air today talking about how Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO) is undervalued. If Yahoo! is undervalued now, CERTAINLY it was undervalued last week before it made its 19% move up.
The most sure path to investing success requires that you find a consistent investment approach that does not rely on shifting your assets as soon as the wind changes. Those same bonds from last week just don't look so good today, do they?
Hindsight is always 20-20, but I'm asking you, for your physical and financial health, not to believe the hype.
Economic conditions underlying these companies, for the most part, are no more great today than they were horrible last week. The fact that the May unemployment report (which came out today) showed that the U.S. economy is cooling off is not significant enough to justify these moves. For this very reason, as hard as it is to watch a portfolio going down, and as ecstatic we get when it skyrockets, the Foolish investor needs to tune out the noise. That's all it is. It's noise.
Burt Malkiel speaks of an exercise in which an economics class he taught at Princeton flipped a coin one hundred times and marked them as a candlestick progression. For each heads the chart went up a full point, and tails down a point. He showed the resulting chart to a technical analysis expert, who wanted to know what the company ticker was, because he saw a classic cup and handle formation. Needless to say, this colleague was none too pleased to discover that he was not looking at a company chart at all.
The point is not to single out and mock chartists. The point is that even the experts cannot accurately tell what is going to happen next. There are value investors who believe that in relation to companies such as Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) and America Online (NYSE: AOL) the market has been inefficient for the last three years. That's an awfully long time to believe that companies have been completely out of whack from their intrinsic valuation, though certain portions of these arguments are compelling.
What is probably more important to recognize is that this volatility in relation to some new economy stocks is likely to continue into the foreseeable future. I think this has something to do with some epic "bear/bull" struggles, but the central cause lies more in the fact that no one has figured out how to build reliable price models for these companies yet. B2B and other hot button industries have not yet created the efficiencies upon which their spectacular importance to the economy will be built. I have no doubt that the Internet will play an important role in altering how companies transact, but I also have no idea how the companies that are building the "trading floors" in e-commerce are going to derive profitability from their services, either.
These types of companies are among the most obvious cases of an observable condition: that there really is no price too high for a bull nor too low for a bear. And so, until the economics of these models become more apparent, the companies occupying the outer edge of commerce are going to remain volatile. Your challenge, should you wish to Foolishly invest in such companies, will be to continue to focus upon the business model, lest the market drive you crazy.
I'll close this with some wisdom from one of the greatest adventure stories of all time, the text of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. It says simply, "You will be liberated the moment you recognize them for what they are." If you recognize market events for market events and business events for business events, you will be a more successful long-term investor for it.

" Brand: Avon / Hair Repair Mask / Type: Hair Mask / What it does: Repairs, "
I just tend to use a normal Conditioner through my Hair. I've never been 1 for lying in the bath letting a product soak into my hair, so just something I can put on my Hair and rinse off is ok for me. I did buy this about 6 months ago and use it every now and again. Since I have highlighted Hair and I straighten it a few times a week then I am concious that it can get dried out, so a little Deep conditioning now and again should surely help it.
In the current Avon book I can't see this product, but I know it is still for sale. I got this when it was on offer and think I paid about £3 for it. It is part of the Planet Spa collection which has different Haircare and body products. The range is a good one in my eyes.
The tube looks like the Dooyoo picture. It looks ok but nothing all that special. If you wanted to you could cut the tube open and scoop the Cream out when this was nearly finished and get your money's worth from it.
It doesn't state that you have to leave this on for a certain amount of time. It says that you apply this and leave it on for up to 10 minutes before rinsing off. What I tend to do is Shampoo my Hair when I first go in the shower, Rinse it off and then apply this. Then I get to work washing my face and my body. I would usually Shampoo, wash face, rinse shampoo, apply conditioner, wash body then rinse Hair. But the way that I do it when I apply this means that it has a little time to soak into my Hair.
The Cream is quite thick and I use a good sized blob in my Hair. This works through my hair no problem and seems to feel quite rich. There is a nice enough scent in here. Hard to say what the scent is but just a nice Creamy scent and perhaps a bit Fruity scent which I would assume is the Goji berries.
After this is rinsed out of my Hair it feels Soft, smooth and strong. After my Hair is dried then it looks smooth and has a nice Shine to it.
I don't feel that I have overly dry hair anyway and use this probably once a month. My hair does feel good after using this and I would say that this tube would last a good lenght of time. I think you would get up to 10 applications out of this 150ml tube.
A good Hair treat that I would recommend for a bit pampering.
I bought Avon's Planet Spa Himalayan Goji Berry Conditioning Hair Repair Mask because I suffer from very dry, brittle hair, and I bought it on special at the time (£2.50).
The conditioner comes in a vivid maroon coloured tube, with a clear white plastic cap. On the front is the planet spa logo, and the title of the product, plus the volume (amount) which is 150ml. On the back, in very hard to read dark writing, are the directions for use in multiple languages and shelf life (12 months from opening). The ingredients and warnings are on the box that it comes in, which I have lost - great design and thought from Avon there!
Directions for Use
To Use: After shampooing, apply mask evenly over hair. Leave for up to 10 minutes and rinse.
The Cream
The cream itself is easy to squeeze out, and the slightly matte tube is easy to grip in the bath or shower. The cream smells sweet but very sharp, which is nice and refreshing. The cream conditioner is white in colour and fairly thick, and so it is more like smoothed through your hair than run through. I have found that leaving it for the whole ten minutes makes little difference, as it has done its job in about five minutes, and then I rinse with cool-ish water. I've found that the conditioner leaves my hair silkier and softer, a little shinier but...and this is the bit that annoys me, these effects don't last any longer than if I use normal conditioner. I would say they last about two to three days, which is the same result I've had from Avon's two-in-one shampoo/conditioners. Of course this could be because I have such dry hair. Also, the scent is quite light once the mask has been washed away, and can easily be overpowered by a medium-strength scent of shampoo. I've also found I need to use a fair dollop of the stuff to actually cover all of my hair, so its not the best value for money, as I get through it very quickly.
Overall I would say this is no better than a normal conditioner, and I certainly wouldn't expect to pay around £5.00 for such a small tube, however the scent is nice and its okay value for money if its on special. It does make you feel a bit pampered because its something that's not part of, at least my, daily routine. For that I would rate this three stars.
I treated myself to a few items from the new Planet Spa Goji Berry range when they were on special offer, if you brought 3 products you could claim a free make up bag. I'm a sucker for offers like that and even though the make up bag was rubbish I'm mega impressed with this hair mask.
It comes in a chunky tube like you can see above and I love the colour of this whole range because it's a gorgeous berry/rose colour that looks proper girly and attractive.
The smell of the hair mask is definately of berries, I don't know what a goji berry actually smells like but this has deffo got a gorgeous fruity berry smell.
You smooth the hair mask over your hair and leave on for up to 10 mins before rinsing off. Don't be tempted to leave it overnight though because doing this will make you hair greasy the next day even if you rinse it all off properly, not greasy exactly but limp and lank.
I love the smell as the mask is on my hair and I was glad when I first used it that the smell stayed on my hair for quite a long time after I'd rinsed it off.
The mask deffo moisturised my hair and acted like a good intensive conditioner. After rinsing and towel drying I was amazed at how many of the tangles had been smoothed out of my hair, I have a mad problem with my hair and that is as soon as it gets damp it becomes one massive tangle and is a nightmare to brush.
After I've used this Goji Berry mask I was able to pull the brush through my hair without finding many tangles and my hair also felt very soft and smooth. I don't suffer from dry hair but my mum does and she also thinks this hair mask is brill, she uses it every couple of days because she thinks it's more effective than the Boots hair mask she was using before.
You don't have to use much for each application and that's a good job because this 150ml bottle costs £4.50! At the minute it's on special offer at £1.99 so if you fancy trying it then get your order in now to take advantage of the cheaper price.
I reckon it's well worth the money though because it makes my hair look and feel in better condition and also gives it a lovely shine that my hair doesn't usually have.

The way Lee's Summit North goalkeeper Bailey Doerflinger has been playing lately, making a one-goal lead stick is no problem.
Such was the case April 8, when Doerflinger, with some help from the Broncos' defenders, made an early score hold up for a 1-0 victory over Lee's Summit on the Broncos' home field.
Doerflinger, a senior, recorded her second-straight shutout, having helped blank Blue Springs 5-0 the night before. And when the Broncos lost to Blue Valley Northwest 1-0 in last weekend's MO/KAN Invitational, she still had a solid game.
Lee's Summit, which has been on a roll of its own lately, made Doerflinger work for this one. She made six saves, including a full-extension one midway through the second half.
"Bailey's had a great run the last three games," Lee's Summit North coach Ryan Kelley said. "She's really stepped up. I don't know if her confidence is up or what but she's been hot right now."
Doerflinger deflected the credit to her teammates, who she said are starting to come together after getting off to a slow start.
"Our midfield is strong, which is helping our defense, and our defense is strong, which is helping me" Doerflinger said. "We're really as a team working very, very hard.
"We made a connection with our last tournament. Something clicked and we just figured out how to move the ball and work together."
Doerflinger had a lead to protect after Madison Chapman scored for the Broncos about 8 minutes into the game. The Broncos played the ball through to Chapman, who was able to save the ball from getting out of bounds to make a last-second touch around the keeper for her first goal of the season.
"It was a great effort on her part," Kelley said. "She wanted that first goal and she really went after it."
After that, the Broncos had to hold on in what became a back-and-forth match. Lee's Summit coach Dave Wiebenga said his team had its chances but they just couldn't finish them.
"I thought we were able to match them the rest of the match and actually create more opportunities," Wiebenga said. "Last year, we were not creating chances. We now need to do a better job of capitalizing on our chances in tight matches."
Which is just what the Broncos did as they evened their record at 3-3-2.
I think hopefully we're kind of turning the corner," Kelley said.

Duke Can't Spell Recruit's Name, Lose Player To UNC
Considering how much Duke loves to boast about its academic prowess, UNC fans will give the Blue Devils plenty of ribbing for losing out on top-rated basketball recruit P.J. Hairston. Hairston is a McDonald's All-American from Greensboro North Carolina. Heavily recruited by schools all over the Country, Hairston narrowed down his final two choices to UNC and Duke. Why did Hairston choose UNC over Duke? For starters, he appreciates literacy when it comes to his name. Here is more from Jeff Eisenberg of rivals.com.
"The thing about Duke was, every time they sent me a letter, they wouldn't spell my name right," Hairston said. "They would have 'T.J. Harrison' or something like that. And I'm like, 'OK. How can I go here? You can't even spell my name right.' It's only two letters and HAIR and STON. I'm trying to figure out how that's so hard."
There's no way of verifying whether Hairston is embellishing or not, but it would be quite a blunder from the Blue Devils if it happened even once or twice. Not only does Rivals.com rank Hairston the No. 13 prospect in the Class of 2011, he also shares the same last name as a current member of the Duke roster, guard Josh Hairston.
Ouch! I mean, how hard is the name P.J.? When it comes to the last name, the Blue Devils already have a Hairston, and as far as I can tell, his name has always appeared correctly on the back of his jersey.
To be fair, P.J. Hairston noted another reason why he chose UNC over Duke. He claimed the Blue Devils system was "mechanical," unbefitting of his style of play. Hairston is from North Carolina, so I'm guessing he's seen Duke games over the years. Duke's system is up-tempo and effusive. I certainly wouldn't describe it as mechanical.
Never the less, this story only adds another layer to the smack talk that takes place between Duke and UNC fans. If Hairston proves to be a top player for the Tar Heels, the chronicle of P.J. Hairston's (or is it T.J. Harrison?) recruiting process will grow.

While doing some holiday shopping at Nordstrom, I stumbled across one of their holiday eyeshadow palettes, the Natural Eye Palette. I'm a sucker for neutral eyeshadow palettes, and am especially excited to share this one today because of its price: $15!!
This palette features 20 eyeshadows with a mix of matte, satin, frost, and shimmer finishes. I love that is has both warm and cool tones in it.
Row One has four large eyeshadows in basic colors: a dark brown, chestnut, shimmering nude, and matte cream.
Row Two features six warm shades. The first two here are very similar to the first two in Row One, except they have a satin finish. The fourth shade over is beautiful, it's a deep green brown.
Row Three features six cool colors, and this is probably my favorite row of the palette. I especially love the fifth shade over, it's a very light silvery nude, subtle but beautiful!
In the spirit of the holidays, this palette comes in a sparkly, glittery black case. It's really cute, but if you aren't careful you may get a loose glitter flake or two on you!
Overall, I'm thrilled with this palette. As far as actual quality goes, I wouldn't say the product formulation is up there with shadows like Urban Decay and NARS, but they are nicely pigmented and the color selection is great. For the $15 price tag, I think this is totally worth it. I'm surprised these haven't sold out yet!
What is your favorite neutral eyeshadow palette?
xx, Allison

The 'verified' buyer indicates that this user has purchased this product on healthkart.com. Arpan Kumar Basak Sat Sep 20 20:52:14 IST 2014Good product, but there's a catch
The catch here is the amount of protein it provides, 50% of it remains underutilized by the body. So, my recommendation as a bio-technologist would be to increase the raw protein intake by 10X, it will trigger the anabolism, and increase its rate. The DOSAGE which I prefer in my intake, 3 scoops of anabolic XXXL 3 EGG WHITES (RAW) 5g Glutamine 5g or 2.5g of Creatine Monohydrate 30 mins after heavy weight training. After supplementing make sure you have your MEAL after an hour or two.

San Diego Museum of Art's excellent new blog on TFM friendsJanuary 20, 2010 – 6:36 pm
TFM found this note reading The Gallery, an excellent new blog full of current San Diego art notes, well illustrated and linked by Sarah at SDMA. Great job!
This particular note mentions TFM friend Pierette Van Cleve and one of our favorite San Diego artists, Hugo Crosthwaite, whose work we've had the privilege to frame many times so far.
Friday Lunch: How Cool is Hugo Crosthwaite?
Friday we had lunch with Pierette Van Cleve, of Van Cleve Fine Art. Van Cleve represents artist Huge Crosthwaite, who is a San Diego artist (in NY) making it big. Really big. And he's going to be at the Museum in February installing a major piece for Brutal Beauty: Drawings by Hugo Crosthwaite. Not sure what this installation might be like? Check this clip out (below). At the February Culture & Cocktails you'll have a chance to see him at work…We're pretty smitten, and we think you will be too.

Camping area
Between December and May Eco Venao has a designated camping area – and it is an increasingly popular choice. Located atop a sloping hill, the central point of the campsite is the 'El Ranchito' look out point – the perfect spot for lounging, meditating, practicing yoga, or just being. This unique position affords guests the luxury of opening their tent door and looking directly onto Playa Venao's main surf break and the rolling hills beyond.
Camping is possibly the best way to truly appreciate the wonders of Panama's Pacific coast dry season.
Consistently sunny skies accompanied by the northerly Trade Winds make for the ideal conditions to pitch your tent. Sleep under the stars, enjoy the dance of the fireflies and allow yourself to be transported by the gentle roar of the waves. Be sure to bring a strong tent as the wind can be strong.
Campers are invited to share the Hostel's kitchen, bathroom and shower facilities.

In case you missed the good news, the city's school bus strike is finally over. School buses will resume full service to New York City public school children for the first time in five weeks starting today, Wednesday, Feb. 20. School officials have been notifying parents that the strike has ended since the announcement was made late Friday. However, they are advising families that there could be some hiccups as service resumes. Below is some important information from the NYC Department of Education (DOE) that will help make the transition back to yellow bus service as smooth as possible. Route Finder The DOE anticipates that all bus routes will be running tomorrow. However, there may be some delays, similar to the first day of school. Please use the route finder on the DOE's website to confirm if your child's route is operating. Information will be updated at 7am daily. Students who were assigned to a new route during the strike will remain on that route until they hear from the Office of Pupil Transportation. Students with Individual Education Plans (IEP) As the city welcomes back students with IEPs who were affected by the strike, schools will be working directly with families to provide appropriate additional supports to overcome any interruptions. As always, the process will be focused on each student's individual needs and circumstances. Parents should contact their school to discuss these additional supports. Transportation Reimbursement The DOE will continue to accept reimbursement forms for cabs and car service used during the strike as well as reimbursement forms for gas mileage. All reimbursements should be in within the next 30 days. Complete information, instructions, and forms (available in English, Chinese, Russian and other languages) are available on the DOE's website. MetroCards MetroCards issued to students and parents affected by the strike will expire today, on Wednesday, Feb. 20. The DOE is urging parents to return the cards to their child's school. If you have any questions or concerns about the resumption of yellow school bus service, call your school, 311, or the DOE's Office of Pupil Transportation at 718-392-8855.
If you'd still like to make your opinion about the NYC Bus Strike known, join The ARISE Coalition & The Citywide Council on Special Education tomorrow night (Thursday, Feb. 21) at 6pm at Borough Hall, 209 Joralemon St., Brooklyn for "Where Is The Bus?", a public speak out that will still occur despite the end of the strike.

The scandal surrounding the purge of United States attorneys under President Bush shows no signs of abating. "I think there will be a criminal case that will come out of this," John McKay, a dismissed U.S. attorney, told reporters last week. "This is going to get worse, not better."
The scandal surrounding the purge of United States attorneys under President Bush shows no signs of abating. "I think there will be a criminal case that will come out of this," John McKay, a dismissed U.S. attorney, told reporters last week. "This is going to get worse, not better."
The White House's sloppy, heavy-handed attempt to fire federal prosecutors in order to make way for administration cronies has morphed into arguably the most important Beltway news story of the year. Thanks to his shifting and illogical explanations, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has become consumed by the story, and now Bush aide Karl Rove also finds himself implicated.
The media man at the middle of the story is clearly Josh Marshall, owner and founder of Talking Points Memo and its offshoot, TPMmuckraker. Collecting string, working the phones, and relying on the collective wisdom of his dedicated readers, Marshall and his small staff helped piece together the scandal long before most mainstream media outlets were even paying attention. Together, the two online sites have unearthed scoop after scoop on the Gonzales saga. Marshall has posted literally hundreds of items on the story he has become synonymous with in recent months.
In a recent issue of Time, Arianna Huffington even singled out Marshall and his team's ground-breaking work and nominated them to be included on the magazine's list of 100 most influential people in the world.
And speaking of Time, it was the magazine's Washington bureau chief, Jay Carney, who in January ridiculed Marshall's suggestion that the firings had dark political overtones, dismissing it as a "conspiracy theory." Two months later though, Carney bravely ate some crow and tipped his hat to online activists for driving the purge saga: "The blogosphere was the engine on this story."
The purge story illustrates yet another chapter in the growth of the blogosphere, and specifically the emergence of the liberal bloggers -- or netroots -- as an influential news source. Yet despite the significance of the story, and its larger media and political implication, it's telling that The Washington Post has shied away from highlighting Marshall's work on unearthing the scandal.
To this day, despite the fact the purge story continues to gain momentum week after week as more incriminating facts tumble out, and despite the fact that Marshall's work has been lauded by the Los Angeles Times and on National Public Radio, among others, the Post, with its aggressive, expansive media coverage, has not found the time or space to feature Marshall and his team of reporter/bloggers and to spotlight the extraordinary work they've produced. (In total, the Post has printed just a single quote from Marshall regarding the purge story he helped give birth to.)
The Post's heavy-handed indifference to the achievements of liberal bloggers is now well established. Along with the purge story, the Post in recent months turned a disinterested eye toward two other groundbreaking media events involving the netroots.
Last winter Firedoglake, the hard-hitting progressive site, offered up live-blogging from the Scooter Libby trial. Working in shifts at the courthouse, the FDL team live-blogged the whole shebang. New York University journalism professor Jay Rosen called Firedoglake "the best site for primary, tell-me-what-happened-today coverage of the [Libby] trial," and noted the FDL bloggers "dominated" the coverage, with mainstream journalists often turning to it for guidance.
During the trial, the overachieving bloggers racked up much-deserved media mentions in the Los Angeles Times, U.S. News & World Report, Court TV, NPR, C-SPAN, CNN, and the BBC, among others, while The New York Times featured the team in a Page 1 piece. The Post, though -- the hometown paper of the Libby trial -- remained dutifully silent about the bloggers' groundbreaking work. The message was simple: Nothing to see here folks, keep moving.
(Recall that during the 2006 midterm campaigns in Connecticut, when FDL's Jane Hamsher posted a doctored photo of Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) in blackface, the Post considered that newsworthy. But when FDL re-wrote the rules of journalism by live-blogging the entire Libby trial, the newspaper yawned.)
Then there was the March cancellation of the Nevada debate featuring Democratic candidates for president, which was set to be sponsored by Fox News. Bloggers and activists, led in part by Matt Stoller, Chris Bowers, and Robert Greenwald, raised objections about Fox News' role. They argued the cable channel was more akin to a Republican propaganda outlet than a legitimate news channel, and that by aligning themselves with Fox News under the serious auspice of a candidate's debate, Democrats were granting Fox News credibility that it didn't deserve. Within weeks of ithe bloggers' initial online salvo, major Democratic candidates began to withdraw from the Fox News debate, and soon the plug was pulled. The bloggers received just passing mention in the Post; the paper never treated the story as a media issue, and it never profiled the players involved or detailed how on earth an ad hoc group of grassroots activists were able to derail a nationally televised debate.
The Gonzales scandal, the Libby trial, and the aborted Fox News debate represent three key turning points in the way the netroots is affecting politics and the press, and yet we hardly heard a peep from the Post, which devotes all sorts of resources to cover politics and the press. And I can guarantee you that if the roles were reversed and it was GOP bloggers who unearthed a scandal involving a Democratic attorney general, got a presidential debate canceled, and re-invented the way political trials were covered, the Post would have swooped in with lengthy Style section features on all the major players involved.
My picking on the Post here isn't about trying to make liberal bloggers famous by getting them lots of press; for all I know, they may not want to be featured in the pages of the Post. Instead, it's about credibility and newsroom double standards. It would be one thing if the Post simply adopted an elitist, hands-off attitude towards all political bloggers, dismissing them as not being newsworthy. But as I've documented, the Post has a long-running crush on pro-Bush bloggers, forever fascinated by their every move and making sure to chronicle their minor accomplishments.
This is about how the Post for years has treated right-wing bloggers seriously, despite their track record of chasing childish conspiracy theories, while often dismissing liberal bloggers as partisan and fringe, despite their track record of breaking stories and altering political agendas. (Or does the ability to get a nationally televised, presidential candidate debate canceled not count as altering the Beltway landscape?)
The unfolding purge story, and the extraordinary role a prominent blogger played in it, represented a perfect opportunity for the Post to show it had an open-door policy towards all bloggers. Instead, that door remains shut.
Perhaps the most telling example in terms of the double standard used by the Post comes when contrasting the Post's barely-there coverage of Marshall, and the Post's lengthy and friendly February profile of factually-challenged warblogger Michelle Malkin.
In truth, there is no comparison between the work Marshall and Malkin do. Their lone similarity is that they both fall under the broad umbrella called blogging. Marshall's work is marked by its serious, insightful and factual nature, while the hallmark of Malkin's work centers on name-calling and daffy conjecture.
For instance, during the winter months, Malkin pushed a far-fetched media "scandal" by accusing the Associated Press of manufacturing a "phony" and "bogus" Iraqi police source who was reporting false stories about the daily carnage inside Baghdad. She suggested the phony AP source, Jamil Hussein, proved that all of the AP's Iraq reporting was suspect. (Malkin and company were clinging to the notion that the situation in Iraq was not as bad as biased journalists made it out to be.) In January, the Iraqi government confirmed the police source's existence, thereby ruining Malkin's press-hating conspiracy theory.
Two points here. First, when the Jamil Hussein story imploded, the Post remained silent in real time, never bothering to cover Malkin's high-profile embarrassment. Secondly, it was after the Jamil Hussein humiliation that Post editors decided the time was right for a friendly Malkin profile that gently brushed aside questions about her blogging fiasco.
In other words, when Marshall helped highlight malfeasance at the highest levels of the Bush White House, the Post has thus far taken a pass on profiling him. But when Malkin helped concoct a comically inept tale about how the AP was inventing news sources in Iraq, the Post profiled her as an on-the-rise blogger.
The Wash. Post double standard
Indeed, the Post routinely pays far less attention to liberal bloggers, despite the very newsworthy gains they continue to make. As the Post's muted coverage of the canceled Fox debate, the live-blogging of the Libby trial, and the U.S. attorney scandal illustrates, the newspaper's double standard has become blindingly obvious.
And the double standard is real. I looked at how many times the Post has mentioned prominent conservative and liberal bloggers during the last two years. I came up with a list of well-known, and highly-trafficked, online writers from each side of the political spectrum. On the right: Malkin, Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit), Hugh Hewitt, and John Hinderaker (Power Line). On the left: Duncan Black (Eschaton), Jane Hamsher (Firedoglake), Glenn Greenwald (Salon), and John Amato (Crooks and Liars). According to Nexis, the electronic news database, those conservative bloggers have been mentioned by name in a total of 52 Post articles and columns in the last 24 months. By contrast, the liberal bloggers have been referenced by name just 12 times by the Post during the same time frame.
To this day, the Washington Post has never profiled Markos Moulitsas Zúniga, founder of The Daily Kos, the most popular and influential political weblog in the world. The Post didn't even review last year's influential Crashing the Gate, the hardcover progressive manifesto that Kos co-wrote with fellow blogging pioneer Jerome Armstrong.
Then again, as best as I can determine the Post in recent years hasn't profiled any of the major netroots players. The one lengthy Post feature of a liberal blogger that I can find from the last 24 months was a page-one piece from April 2006 when the Post shadowed lesser-known blogger Maryscott O'Connor, who writes at My Left Wing. The Post portrayed O'Connor as a Bush-hating lunatic. Key phrases from the article: "angry," "rage," "fury," "angriest," "outrage," "crude," "loud," "crass," "inflammatory," "attack."
Even The New Republic, which has had a somewhat acrimonious relationship with the netroots, announced last week in an 8,000-word cover story that the liberal blogs "are the most significant mass movement in U.S. politics since the rise of the Christian right more than two decades ago." Yet the Post remains standoffish -- unless, of course, liberal bloggers stub their toes in public.
When the liberal online news sites Truthout.org botched its exclusive report last year that Karl Rove had been indicted in connection with the Valerie Plame CIA leak investigation, the Post was there. And when the Los Angeles Times suspended the blog of liberal newspaper columnist Michael Hiltzik after he had posted anonymously on his site, the Post was there. (The Post gave that relatively minor story 2,000 words; it gave Firedoglake's live blogging of the Libby trial zero words.)
Even the simplest, pro-netroots story appears to be off limits for the Post, such as when President Clinton invited a dozen-plus bloggers to an extended lunch at his Harlem office last fall. The public gesture from the most powerful Democrat in the country certainly cemented the bloggers' place as major electoral players. The Post, though, never reported on the well-publicized meeting.
It was déjà vu three weeks ago when Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton posted an essay about equal pay at Firedoglake as a way to get her message directly to liberal activists. The Post made no mention of that netroots development. But just two days later, the newspaper highlighted the fact that Republican Sen. John McCain had been "using conservative blogs" as a campaign communications tool. Now that was news.
Back in February, I suggested we start the clock ticking to see how long it would take the Post to finally get around to profiling a major progressive blogger. That clock is about to hit the three-month mark and still no significant coverage from the Post. And honestly, I don't think we'll see much in the near future. Because as I noted back then, "Bottom line: At the Post, Bush bloggers matter, liberal ones do not."

Former BR mayor says keep police chief appointed
Related Story
BATON ROUGE- Former Baton Rouge Mayor Tom Ed McHugh says he personally thinks the police chief's job should remain appointed by the mayor.
McHugh says there can be challenges created when two different leaders are fighting over city money. McHugh says the mayor is held accountable for most issues, including crime, and he believes the mayor should have some oversight authority without micromanaging.
Some city leaders have called for a change to the police chief position due to the controversy involving Mayor Kip Holden and former Police Chief Dewayne White. White was fired earlier this week after being appointed by Holden two years ago.
People we spoke with around town support electing a chief. Ginger Bailey says the chief should be elected like the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff. Vickie Naquin says the people should be involved in the choice.

Have you ever noticed that your content marketing activities tend to amount to doing the same types of tasks over and over?
At the process level, there's not much that changes from one blog post to the next or from one social media campaign to the next, though the content itself may change.
Whether or not you've noticed it, your content marketing activities are a collection of workflows.
I hinted at this in my last post, on how to delegate content marketing tasks.
Now, let's take a closer look at workflows, because it's a game-changer when you shift from thinking about your content marketing tasks as a loose collection of activities to thinking about them as workflows.

First let me say I am sorry if I am posting something that has been posted 1,000,000 times before. I did do a search but did not find the information I am looking for.
I have a 2003 Defender 110 with the factory TD5 diesel. I am moving to Lebanon and want to keep from having to sale my Defender. In Lebanon I can not import a diesel power vehicle. I am wanting to replace my engine with a petrol powered engine. If any of you have done this can I can some input as to what engine would be best suited for a rugged mountain area with at times harsh weather? I am really looking for something that will not take away from the power I have grown to love in my diesel 110.
If I would not loose too much off roading abilities I would like to go with an auto gear box as well.
I am also interested in finding out how much of a problem it is to swap engines. Bell housing, motor mount placement, etc.
Any information would be helpful. I have access to just about any engine you can imagine at the local salvage yards of Kuwait and Lebanon.
Thank you guys!!!

I had a very heavy hair growth in the bikinia area and under my arms. I am fair skinned, but have lots of dark black coarse hair. My hair grew at least 3 inches out side of bathing suit lines around my legs (sorry about being so graphic, but I had a serious problem!) I hated shaving the bikini area because it only looked nice for about 1 day...then the razor stubble started coming out along with ingrown hairs, pimples...etc. Couldn't shave again for at least 4/5 days. I tried waxing...looks nice for about a week, then same problems as before. Plus, I didn't like having to grow the hair out long enough for it to be waxed. So, I finally tried laser hair removal about 4 years ago. I had 3 treatments each on my bikini area and armpits. The first bikini area treatment was done concentrating on the parts that would show with a bathing suit on....the 2nd treatment was that plus the labia....3rd bikini area treatment was EVERYTHING down there. I'm glad I didn't get the whole area done each time, because I've decided I don't want to be completely bald down there...or look patchy or anything. Each armpit treatment was of course the entire underarm. I think I went about 6 weeks apart...maybe longer, it's hard to remember. Right after you get it done, the hair still continues to look like it's growing out...but don't worry, once that particular follicle falls out, nothing comes in behind it. You can tell they fall out about 2 weeks after the treatment....the hairs are so loose, you can just kind of brush them off eventually. Anyway...I'm writing to say that after 4 years I am still VERY happy with the results. I get a few stray hairs on the bikini area...but the hairs are so few and they seem less coarse...so shaving them off is no big deal at all. I don't get the razor stubble, ingrown hair, pimple looking mess EVER! My underarms could use probably two more treatments....but it's definitely lighter hair coverage than before and the hairs aren't as coarse. Now a word about the pain. I checked that the pain was mild...that's only if you use numbing cream. I am a total wuss....this hurt like h@ll. Imagine being repeatedly snapped with a rubber band that felt like it was on fire. The cream (lmx??) I used really helps. Make sure it has sat on your skin for enough time to numb it. Otherwise, the pain was almost unbearable. I would recommend laser hair removal for anyone who dreads summer time and bathing suits because of unwanted hair.
Very Satisfied with Laser Hair Removal

One building was nearly destroyed in Friday's blazes; the others appeared heavily damaged. A burning electric pole was lying on one of the buildings.
"It was like a war zone, shooting fire across the street," Fire Chief Michael Varela said early Saturday.
City manager Steve LeBlanc said the fire could have been caused by downed power lines. Power was out throughout most of the city.
One of the buildings that caught fire was built in 1905, five years after the hurricane that destroyed most of this island city and killed at least 6,000 people. The damaged buildings were a bail bonds company, a Victorian-era home, and Eagle Lodge, a former fraternal club that's now an art gallery.
Varela said one person escaped the fire, but he didn't know the person's identity or condition. Officials at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston did not respond to requests for information about the person who escaped.
The Strand District includes historic buildings, night clubs and shops. It is the site of a massive Mardi Gras celebration and an annual Dickens festival.
The Galveston County Daily News, located on the bayfront, reported early Saturday that its main facility lost part of its roof. The downtown power grid was shut down because of the fires. Mayor Pro Tem Joe Jaworski told the paper that a wall of Yaga's restaurant collapsed but no one was hurt.

Police: 2 dead when plane crashes in Gary
Authorities say two men were killed when a single-engine plane crashed into a wooded area about a mile short of Gary/Chicago International Airport.
Gary police Cmdr. Sean A. Jones said late Wednesday that officials with the Lake County coroner removed the bodies form the scene around 5:30 p.m.
Jones said the victims' names haven't been released.
He says the plane was a Cirrus SR22 traveling from Smyrna, Tenn. It crashed at 11:18 a.m. Wednesday as it approached the Gary-based airfield.
The Federal Aviation Administration says the plane is registered to Gandy AIR LLC in St. Augustine, Fla. A phone call to the business earlier Wednesday rang unanswered.

"There weren't any nerves because the same thing happened to me last year during the Wake Forest game," said the Radford, Va. native. "That was in the (NCAA) tournament, and that got me ready for the same thing this season."
Early in the season it would have been fair to say that Nichols was struggling during his time on the court. It wasn't that he was doing anything drastically different than he did a year ago. It was just taking some time for Nichols to grow into his role on this year's Mountaineer squad.
Things started to change a couple of weeks ago during West Virginia's home win over the Georgetown Hoyas. Nichols looked more assertive, and more aggressive in that game, and in each game since has improved his play.
"Coach has been telling me all year to be more aggressive. I've started to do that and I think that it's helping make our team a lot better. The system is hard, and it takes a while to get used to it but I think I'm starting to settle in," he says.
Beilein hasn't merely been asking for Nichols to be more aggressive when he's in the game. The fourth year head coach has practically been begging his sophomore to look for his shot and go to the basket.
"Every day, every hour, every minute," said Beilein when asked just how often he's told Nichols to assert himself.
After Saturday's win at UCLA, Beilein was impressed with the way his young guard had played.
"He comes into a game in Pauley Pavilion and has zero turnovers," said the glowing head coach. "He was taking the ball to the basket. He's slowly getting more comfortable with his role on the team. It's a long couple of years to play 15 minutes a game, but he's hanging in there."
"I can't go out there thinking about anything else but what I have to do," summed up Nichols.
For the Mountaineers to continue having success this season, Nichols will have to provide key depth off of the bench. If the past few games are any indication of things to come, he's ready to do just that.

How to: Extend the Functionality of a TableAdapter
You can extend the functionality of a TableAdapter by adding code to the TableAdapter's partial class file.
The code that defines a TableAdapter is regenerated when any changes are made to the TableAdapter (in the Dataset Designer) or when changes are made during the running of any wizard that modifies the configuration of a TableAdapter. To prevent your code from being deleted during the regeneration of a TableAdapter, add code to the TableAdapter's partial class file.
(Partial classes allow code for a specific class to be divided among multiple physical files. For more information, see Partial (Visual Basic) or partial (C# Reference).)
Locating TableAdapters in Code
While TableAdapters are designed with the Dataset Designer, the TableAdapter classes generated are not generated as nested classes of the DataSet. TableAdapters are located in a namespace based on the name of the TableAdapter's associated dataset. For example, if your application contains a dataset named HRDataSet, the TableAdapters would be located in the HRDataSetTableAdapters namespace. (The naming convention follows this pattern: DatasetName + TableAdapters).
The following example assumes a TableAdapter named CustomersTableAdapter in a project with a NorthwindDataSet.
To create a partial class for a TableAdapter
Add a new class to your project by choosing Add Class from the Project menu.
Name the class CustomersTableAdapterExtended.
Click Add.
Replace the code with the proper namespace and partial class name for your project. For example:
