Answer #1dandd October 14, 2010, 15:07Master
If it is only a couple of seals then that is 1-2 hours, but if the case is leaking then see below.
It is an 11 hour job to R&R the case and over haul it, which is basically what resealing involves, because you have to remove the case, split it open and then replace all the seals etc. I used to do this at dealerships.

Kaos Studios' Frontlines: Fuel of War has been a long time in the making and in this current blitz of first-person shooters it's hard for our attention to be kept on any shooter for longer than two minutes.
This latest developer blog trailer hopes to win back some of the spotlight from the shooter competition and we have to admit we're more interested having seen it in action.
If you haven't been paying attention thus far, Frontline's is a near-future infantry and vehicle FPS where the two factions are engaging in a globe-spanning battle for oil. It's also been done by some of the blokes behind stupidly popular Battlefield 1942 mod Desert Combat, which is definitely reassuring.
It's out on PC and Xbox 360 in February. Look for more soon.

Hello Pitters. I don't mind lending my ear a bit.
I really like how this one sounds. Sometimes simplicity is nice. Good use of tremolo effect on the main guitar. The reverse guitar, I think makes the song. Really nice job with it. The percussion is good and varies nice, but I think you should turn the reverb down some. The sound is too drown out, I think.
The only other thing that could make this song better is some killer vocals. Try it sometime ;)
Thanks for the review man. I'm always happy when i use my guitars to make music, tend to have a total different sound compared to the synth work. Yea that reversed guitar does work a treat on this track, It's all one take of me playing lead but ive just cut it in parts and it worked out for the best. ezdrummer for the drums. my lifesaver, i actually now have the drums to back up the sound.
Indeed mate it needs vocals, im trying to get someone to do em as I speak. I can only sing fleetingly in tune so i aint doing it haha
Rated 5 / 5 stars
All I can say is.....
All I can say is......fucking fantastic my friend.
I honestly can't think of anything wrong with this track, The mixing is great, the drums are great, the tune is great.....nothing negative I can see at all. I know that's not much help, but seriously, I don't think you could do anymore to this track at all.
Well done my friend
awwwwww thanks man.
I think the track is a bit muddy meself, me harmonys are too drowned but hey everyone else seems to thinks its on. It needs mastering though and i aint too good at that yet. The drums are ezdrummer, I seriously advise you to get it. I aint a drummer i can't be arsed with drums fucking leave it to that i tell thee. haha well a review is better than no review at all glad you enjoyed it and thanks again.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This reminded me of early New Order just after Ian killed himself.
Love this.
Keep this up. :D
thank you for the review. Yes it does have a new order vibe, it's in me genes being a mancunian and all. though it wasn't intentional at all, just that pick at the beginning and i work around that. You should watch control if you like new order and stuff, the actor who plays curtis is phenomenal.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
"Just a little short of professional..."
Percussion IMO should not stop completely at :29 and 1:12... leave like a quarter note hi-hat or something.
I agree with Chron on maybe diversifying... at 1:45 a guitar solo would be much appreciated. The beginning and ending however, I feel are effectively simple.
Just a little short of professional... needs vocals, which I may or may not provide. :) Depends on how crappy I sound.
Hey G9, Maybe you're right with regads to percussion, a ratatat would have worked pretty well, but I do prefer it with gaps, especially early on. haha yea, 1.45 does suit a guityar solo, im in total agreement, I aint a fret wanker, i can riff away but solos aint a massive thing of mine, then again I only need 20 seonds worth a most...hmmm good spot.
Hey bang vocals on all you want, if you work in cubase I'll send you the project files.
thanks for the review.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
implementation of some things sound a tad unpolished - love what you're striving for here though - but once again - NO VOCALS - however I know just how hard it is to get vocals - and you do have that wailing going on in the b/g - but it's not enuff! :P
also need some diversity - dont be afraid to mix things up a bit :)
I hear some reversing to - interesting.. ending and beginning imo need more work tho..
neways you're improving as always :P
Thanks for the review chron. Yea i felt a little inspired after reading the stone roses biogrphy, tried to capature a little bit of that sound, 'saccharine pop'. Early new order style riffs too. Definately borrowing from my heritage here being a manc and all. Yes it needs vocals, I can't sing mate, and any who can well i doubt they'd suit what I'm aiming for.
I agree,i could have shifted this up, but when you based the song on a little pick that you were dithering about with for a minute before thinking 'oooooh i'll record that' it gets a bit hard, needless to say though it is quite a short track so there would be space in a remix to do a chorus and shit. Indeed thers some reverse, you'll notice any guitar work i do i use a little to a lot of it.
Thnaks for the review.

Nigel Lythgoe is striking before the iron cools off.
The American Idol executive producer, who flashes his extremely pearly whites in front of the camera as a judge on So You Think You Can Dance, announced he's leaving the über-successful singing competition, which is heading into its eighth season on a ratings downswing despite still being the most watched show on TV.
"I will step back from my day-to-day producing work on American Idol and will be devoting my time" to a new development venture with 19 Entertainment head and fellow Idol mastermind Simon Fuller, Lythgoe said in a statement obtained Monday by E! News.
"Due to the huge success of So You Think You Can Dance, my summer will be taken up by travels to South Africa, Australia and Canada to work on local versions of the show," the 59-year-old former dancer-choreographer said.
The deal, which encompasses TV, film and stage projects, was also confirmed by the company, with Fuller calling Lythgoe "the best producer I have ever worked with."
Fox admitted that the network is "disappointed," but they wished the Brit well—although no exec can be too happy about the shakeup, especially now that Idol needs to bust out the heavy artillery to avoid losing more than the 2.4 million weekly viewers the show has already dropped between 2007 and 2008.
"He is an extraordinarily talented producer whose creative contributions to the No. 1 show on television have been immeasurable," a Fox rep said.
There's no word yet on who might step in to replace Lythgoe.
Auditions for the eighth season of American Idol kicked off July 17 in San Francisco. Paula, Simon and Randy and their tired, ringing ears are scheduled to touch down in Kansas City, Mo., this Friday.

The quiet revolution: can IPO's transform the UAE into another Hong Kong?
Go back a couple of decades and the Hong Kong stock exchange was something of a joke in global terms with just a handful of listings. Just look at it today. A similar transformation could occur in the United Arab Emirates in a much shorter period as hundreds of candidates for initial public offerings start to line-up.
Yesterday ArabianMoney took part in the Dubai Financial Market's closed conference for such candidates. We can't report directly on the confidential proceedings. But we can explain the background to what is going on in the UAE and where it may lead in the near future.
Many IPO candidates
Like Hong Kong in the past the UAE is dominated by family businesses and government related entities. Experts said around 200 large to medium sized companies are fit for IPO. That's enough to double the size of the local stock exchanges which are said to be in merger talks to create a larger platform as a single UAE bourse, probably located in Abu Dhabi.
The forum yesterday examined the key reasons why UAE companies might IPO. For the majority of potential candidates it comes down to an opportunity to either cash out or establish a market value for a company. IPOs can also open a path to growth through mergers and acquisitions financed by the issue of new shares.
What has been holding this potential tidal wave of IPOs back? Basically the local stock market crashed in 2006 and only in the past year has recovered strongly. Indeed the Dubai Financial Market only hit the bottom of its sell-off as recently as January 2012. This year it is up over 80 per cent.
A long-awaited new Commercial Companies Law is also going to allow firms to increase their capital in an IPO, something that is not now possible. But it is not only about raising money and selling shares.
DFM officials are keen to stress the transformational effect of preparing for an IPO on a company's governance. Like a marriage things are never quite the same again, and generally for the better.
Quiet revolution
It's a quiet revolution behind the closed doors of companies and in the headlights of public scrutiny of financial results. The whole of corporate UAE wll mature and prosper under this new regime. Hong Kong did not get there in a day and this is a multi-year revolution.
But seriously the IPO revolution could transform the UAE stock exchange into another Hong Kong and dynamise its financial and corporate life in the process. The experts we talked to yesterday said the time-lag before IPOs meant that we should expect them to start coming in the second quarter of next year and continue regularly after that.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from ha...

Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API. Their processes run within isolated namespaces that abstract the operating environment independently of the distribution, versions, network setup, and other details of this environment. This "containerization" has often been nicknamed "the new virtualization." But containers are more than lightweight virtual machines. Beyond their small...

The move in recent years to cloud computing services and architectures has added significant pace to the application development and deployment environment. When enterprise IT can spin up large computing instances in just minutes, developers can also design and deploy in small time frames that were unimaginable a few years ago. The consequent move toward lean, agile, and fast development leads to the need for the development and operations sides to work very closely together. Thus, DevOps become...

Donna has such an amazing voice, and she's a wonderful person as well!
Haven't heard this one yet, but now I'm dying to.
I'm excited to listen to this!
Sounds great.
Donna needs to get back on "Music City Roots" soon. She has been one of their more entertaining interview subjects, insomnia and all. I'd love for Donna to record another traditional country album like "Trouble At The Door", but that ain't gonna happen anytime soon as she's too busy walking that mountain down…
I'm liking what I hear in those videos.
Yep; one of the most charming people in Nashville, in addition to the talent..
Donna Will be appearing at Podunk in E. Hartford CT on Sunday, August 7, making her New England debut.
Truly Blessed keep on doing what God has ordered you to do. Be Blessed!!!! Tidemill Represents.
Fantastic music written by a wonderful soul!
Wonderful personality, talent, looks, the whole thing wrapped in one nice person.
I have the first three CDs…love her music it is awesome. Having problems getting my hands on this 4th one. Whoever gets it, I guarantee you will be blessed. Buy them as Christmas presents..your family will love it I'm sure.
Hi Donna, Rick, and Poor Mountain Boys! Hope you're having a great time in Russia! I just know the people there are loving your music!
a very talented and entertaing young lady
We can't wait to see Donna and the Poor Poor :-) Mountain Boys at the 25th Annual Greater Downstate Indoor Bluegrass Festival in Springfield, Illinois!!! Come on November 12th!!!
I always thoughtr it was a shame that her first album TROUBLE AT THE DOOR was not a success. I would have preferred that her comeback be based on traditional country rather than bluegrass, but she is a fine singer and I guess her success should be appreciated in whatever form it takes, although I still hope for another country album someday
Paul has a point there, in that she was already a good and affecting country singer in the first place, major label once, and her vocal timber, etc. are more typical of country. But a) variations in sounds of bluegrass singers should be appreciated and encouraged and b) bluegrass–as with Bradley Walker, who obvioulsy sounds like a hinky tonker, says yes and emraaces her, so there she goes. Exit the steel guitars!

The crew of Coast Guard Station Port Huron, Mich., began training on the station's new 45-foot Response-Boat-Medium, Monday after taking possession of the boat last Thursday.
The RB-M can respond faster than previous boats of similar size with a top speed in excess of 40 knots, has advanced search capability with an installed forward-looking infrared search technology, the Coast Guard said. Additionally, with twin jet propulsion, the vessel is able to respond in shallower water.
"We are excited to bring a new and improved boat to the Blue Water Area," said Chief Petty Officer Kevin J. Stryker, officer-in-charge of Station Port Huron. "This new 45-foot response boat will replace the aging 41-foot Utility Boat, greatly enhancing the Coast Guard's capabilities and response time and allowing us to better serve the public."
The boat has a deep-V double-chine hull, which provides a balance of performance and stability. The vessel is also self-righting; if it capsizes in rough seas, the boat is designed to roll back over.
It can handle heavy seas and waves up to 12 feet and carry up to 24 people.
The RB-M is being added to Station Port Huron's current craft complement, consisting of the 41-foot UTB and one 25-foot Response Boat-Small.
With a top speed of more than 40 knots, the highly capable RB-M allows crews to arrive on scene faster. Station Port Huron's crew will continue to use the UTB as the RB-M becomes fully operational and all crewmembers are qualified. Right now, plans are to continue using the UTB until it is removed from the water for the Great Lakes ice season, at which point it will be divested.
The RB-M was built by Marinette Marine in Marinette, Wis.
Seven crewmembers were rescued after their 100-foot coastal freighter began taking on water and sank approximately 45 miles north off of Cap Haitien, Haiti, Friday.
Over 200 healthy children and children with disabilities from Bashkortostan as well as the Volga Region participated in the Breaking the Barriers second interregional children's arts festival,

My nearly 3 year old picked up her dolly baby this morning, lifted her shirt & said, "Look Mum! I'm breast feeding MY baby!" hahahaha This is a first time at our house ... Anyone else had anything simular happen to them re: old kids & breastfed younger siblings?
Posted 07 April 2012 - 11:17 AM
No, but I hope to one day, so cute!! Thanks for sharing
Posted 07 April 2012 - 11:18 AM
Yep, happened in our house to. It is hilarious when they do it in front of relatives or visitors and they don't know what to say.
Posted 07 April 2012 - 11:18 AM
DS2 used to feed his toys, but hold them up to his belly button.
Mum says she once saw me sitting cross-legged on the floor feeding my doll and reading a book (as she would feed my brother or sister), but every time I tried to turn the page, the doll's hand got caught in the pages. Eventually I grabbed the doll by the offending hand and threw it across the room so I could read my book in peace.
Posted 07 April 2012 - 11:19 AM
All our kids 'breast fed', even our son. All lovely and normal and very cute.
Posted 07 April 2012 - 11:20 AM
My kids would either breastfeed their stuffed toys or stuff them down my top for a breastfeed.
The cutest one was a kid in a park who came up to me when breastfeeding and was very curious. Wanted to know if I had bottles in my boobs
Posted 07 April 2012 - 11:22 AM
I wish it had been something as 'normal' as a doll! Mine have, through the years, fed a variety of stuffed animals, an assortment of trucks and one memorable incident involved a loudly protesting toddler being force-fed by a preschooler!!!
Posted 07 April 2012 - 11:26 AM
Yes, ds1 would sit up with me and feed his baby while i fed ds2, and them wrap her up and put her to bed at the same time
Posted 07 April 2012 - 11:34 AM
i've seen lots of children of different ages do this. Very cute and perfectly normal.
Posted 07 April 2012 - 11:44 AM
My DS2 has a baby that he is still (aged nearly 7, don't tell anyone lol) quite attached to. He still sometimes puts her to bed and feeds her and changes her etc etc and when he was small he breastfed her.
Posted 07 April 2012 - 11:53 AM
Both DD1 & DS have done it. I'm currently trying to teach DD2 (14mo) to do it. So far she just puts them in a headlock, lol. Shouldn't take her long though
Posted 07 April 2012 - 05:23 PM
Thanks for sharing everyone !!! At least I know now that my near 3 year old daughter is normal hehehe

When ds was a newborn, my 18 month old dd used to pretend to breastfeed her doll all the time. It was super cute
Posted 07 April 2012 - 05:38 PM
My DD2 used to breastfeed her dolls all the time. I once found my 2yo latched on to my 3yos boobs in the bath breastfeeding. My 3yo said it hurt - hmm must not have been attached properly!
Posted 07 April 2012 - 05:38 PM
My daughter proceeded to lift her shirt to feed her doll in the middle of the shopping centre when I had stopped at a seat to feed her little sister. I nicely asked her to save it for home!!
Posted 07 April 2012 - 05:45 PM
My daughter never really did it although I was given a few toys to feed at one stage. Despite never having a bottle herself she used to feed them from a toy sauce bottle for awhile. So far not with the little one either...

Yes, DD was about 15 months when she would do it. SO cute.
Posted 07 April 2012 - 09:32 PM
I hope DD does when the new baby comes
We're trying to get her to 'role play' caring for her doll so she can 'help' with the baby...
Oddly enough, DH was joking about me holding DD's baby doll, asking if I was 'practicing' and said the baby needed a feed. He went to move it into a feeding position, and I tingled like I was having a let-down! So strange!
Posted 07 April 2012 - 09:39 PM
While pregnant with DD3, my DD2 got a bottle out to feed her dolly. DD1 told her "that's not how it's done", and breastfed her dolly!! I was so thrilled she remembered.
Posted 07 April 2012 - 09:40 PM
My DD, 20 months, asked me to breastfeed her doll (well her brother's doll actually) today. She told me 'Dolly want meme' and handed him to me. So there I was breastfeeding a doll!
Posted 07 April 2012 - 09:43 PM
DD2 attempted to BF her guinea pig the other day. Poor Amy Pond didn't know what to make of it, but thankfully didn't bite.
My kids used to do that too it's very cute. Depending on what was around it was either a doll or a teddy bear.
Children are copiers, so if you do something they will mimic it. DS2 went through a really bad patch when DD was little and all her dolls had cream on their bums because they were having rectal valium, it was so funny to watch.
I tried to give my dinosaur an NG tube when my sister was a baby, lol.
Posted 07 April 2012 - 09:46 PM
My daughter has never tried to breast feed a doll but she likes to use the breast pump on her belly
Posted 07 April 2012 - 09:54 PM
DD1 used to BF her dolls. Now both DD1 and DD2 run around with balls or dolls down their tops telling everyone that they have a baby in their belly.
