Ocular Response to Virtual Imagery
Virtual reality investigations in this laboratory are aimed at assessing the safety, oculomotor effects, comfort and performance of using new high-tech (often prototypic) virtual imagery devices on both children and adults. Work is often funded by national and international collaborators, allowing state of the art technology to investigate important optometric and ergonomic issues.
Much of the new human interface technology manipulates the view of the real world so that the user sees virtual imagery. This can take the form of a completely virtual environment, such as head-mounted immersive virtual reality systems, or with imagery overlaying the outside world scene, as with head-up displays. These devices may display imagery to one eye only (monocular displays), the same image to both eyes (biocular displays), or disparate images to the two eyes (binocular stereoscopic displays).
With its potential as a superior method of image presentation, virtual reality technology is finding its way into various sectors of industry including the commercial market. In occupations where workers require access to information whilst both hands are engaged in manual tasks, a monocular virtual display has the potential to increase productivity, improve quality and encourage safety. Surgeons and technicians in the automobile industry are beginning to adopt this form of hands-free access to information which allows continued focus on the external environment. In the entertainment industry, no longer are the days when movies are restricted to a television screen or hand-held monitor, binocular virtual reality devices are allowing portable viewing of DVD's and other virtual imagery. Aircraft and car head-up displays have also been utilised for many years to display virtual travel information.
However, despite these advances in this rapidly growing industry, little is still known about how the oculomotor balance of the eyes is affected by virtual imagery use. Accommodation and vergence systems are sensitive to features of the visual environment, such as proximal objects and image quality. Normally the cues to accommodation and vergence of the eyes are matched. When viewing 3D imagery, these cues may become mismatched as the accommodation demand remains fixed whilst the vergence demand is continually changing. This conflict is thought to reduce visual comfort and user performance. When viewing through monocular virtual displays, issues of ocular dominance and visual competition are also of importance. Anomalous responses of the oculomotor system and symptoms have been reported in highly demanding situations, where even minor changes could compromise safety. In addition, factors such as image resolution, cognitive demand, ergonomics and age can also affect user performance. Thus as new devices emerge onto the virtual reality scene, thorough investigations are warranted to ensure their safe introduction into the commercial market and workforce.
Accommodation & Vergence Monitoring
Evaluation of the response of the eye, not only to virtual imagery but to various external stimuli including lens treatment, are able to be performed using state of the art infra-red measurement systems, enabling dynamic accommodation and vergence monitoring in both children and adults.
Clinical Vision
Investigations into binocular vision and the treatment of non-strabismic disorders of binocular vision have also been an important component of this laboratory. The prescription of ophthalmic lenses for the treatment of vision problems is a task undertaken often on a daily basis for optometrists, however little research is available to support the effectiveness of treatments such as the prescription of plus lenses for accommodation-vergence disorders. The effectiveness of questionnaires for quantifying binocular vision disorders and the efficacy of treatment for visual information processing are also some of the other interests of this laboratory.

It was clear that the primary battlefield would be the open oceanbut America's war fleet, only twenty ships strong, faced a practiced British navy of more than a thousand men-of-war. Still, through a combination of nautical deftness and sheer bravado, the American navy managed to take the fight to the British and turn the tide of the war: on the Great Lakes, in the Atlantic, and even in… (more)

Cleveland, Yes, Cleveland
Good time with good company
My adventures in Cleveland, OH
That didn't include the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Yes, that's right Cleveland, OH. I've actually vacationed here twice and still feel as though I haven't had enough of Cleveland. To be fair, one of my best friends attended graduate school in Cleveland so I did not simply pick Ohio on a whim, but I would gladly go back. I really enjoyed being able to travel to a city that isn't at the top of every travel guide's list. I think not having a clear expectation about a place allowed me to be open minded and accepting of anything and everything that happened on my trip. It was hard to be let down by a place that I originally knew so little about.
There and Back Again; a Cleveland Tale
Getting to Cleveland wasn't the most pleasant thing I've ever done, but I suppose it all depends on where you're flying or driving in from. I started my journey from Austin, TX where I'm pretty sure direct flights are just not a thing, so I boarded a rather early flight to Detroit, and then connected to a safe arrival at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. I stayed in the University Heights area, about 10 miles from downtown and a half hour from the airport. Based on where I spent most of my time, I would suggest renting a car if you're not staying with friends or relatives. There is an RTA rail system in place throughout Cleveland, something I unfortunately did not get a chance to try!
John Carroll University (This is where my BFF got her knowledge on!)
The Sights
In no particular order, here are the highlights of my visits to Cleveland.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Every time I leave Texas I find myself missing the vast expanses of land, and just nature in general. However I was pleased to find that Cleveland has an abundance of trees, everywhere! There were so many pine trees (or at least tress that I called pine) that it felt like Christmas in the middle of May. During my first trip to Cleveland, I visited and hiked through Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Here, I even found a Christmas tree farm; something very foreign to this native Texan. Seriously this place was combining my love of hiking, nature, and Christmas!
The trees of Cuyahoga Valley National Park
The Cleveland Museum of Art
The Cleveland Museum of Art is definitely something not to be missed. First of all, admission to the museum is always free! I paid absolutely nothing to get in to a museum that houses works of art by Matisse, Renoir, Picasso, and hundreds more. OK, I was pretty impressed at this point. Not to mention the architecture of the building is a work of art in and of itself. Several wings jut out from a massive central atrium where almost the entirety of the ceiling is glass. There are also several areas of indoor landscaping throughout the atrium, which gives the illusion of being outside. I particularly enjoyed this aspect of the museum, since when I was visiting it was cool 65 degrees outside… a bit chilly for me!
Cedar Point
During my second trip to Cleveland, I channeled my inner adrenaline junkie and ventured to Cedar Point Amusement Park; about an hour's drive west of Cleveland in Sandusky, OH. If you're a fan of roller coasters, then this is the place for you. My recommendation would be to get to Cedar Point as early as you can and start at the back of the park and work your way up to the front.
Our group started with one of the most popular rides, Millennium Force, in order to avoid a massive line later in the day. Side note about Millennium Force; this is one of the tallest roller coasters in the U.S. with a 310-foot drop! Cedar Point does offer a fast lane option, which allows guests to bypass the line, but honestly I enjoyed having some waiting time, to recover and mentally prepare for the next ride. I would also suggest ending your trip with a ride on Top Thrill Dragster. One, because it's amazing, and two, because you may need to lie down after this one. It's not an easy recovery after going zero to 120 mph in less than 4 seconds and then plunging down a 420 foot drop.
Cedar Point, Sandusky OH
The group before leaving Cedar Point
Food Glorious Food!
The Tacos
Fresh off the plane, the first thing I wanted to do in Cleveland was eat! So my lovely host suggested a taco place (knowing my intense love of tacos) that was on our way back from the airport. However, no matter how much I love tacos, I'm always extremely hesitant to eat one North of Austin, TX. But I went against that engrained belief and headed out to Barrio for some taco loving. It was a great choice in my life! Barrio's has a wide variety of taco combinations and make your own options that were absolutely delicious. Never again will I be so closed-minded with my taco consumption.
The Bialys
First, let me explain what a Bialy is. Essentially a bialy is a bagel that has an indent where the bagel's hole normally is. Typically bagels are boiled and then baked, whereas a bialy is only baked and served. This is the perfect on the go breakfast! It's light, delicious, and inexpensive. If you're in the University Heights area, definitely make a trip to Bialy's Bagels, I promise it will make your whole day better!
The Crepes
Just in case you needed more breakfast suggestions… Here are some crepes! Luna café/bakery makes crepes right before your eyes with all sorts of sweet and savory filling options. Even if crepes aren't your thing, Luna Café and Bakery offers an extensive breakfast menu and is a coffee addict's haven. The café itself is an incredibly comfy space, perfect for rainy days and book reading.
The Whole Foods
Even though I was 1,400 miles away from work, I just couldn't seem to stay away from Whole Foods. If you find yourself in Cleveland, OH during the summer months, you should definitely check out the Cedar Center Whole Foods for their 5X7 event, which occurs every Friday evening. Basically for five dollars you get to sample five dishes paired with five different beers or wines. It's a really fun and inexpensive way to learn and try some new food and drinks.
Saying goodbye… Until we meet again.

Sharp 1793 Wreath Cent, A Lovely About Uncirculated Representative1793 1C Wreath Cent--Vine and Bars--AU 53 PCGS. S-9, R.2. The Mint's second attempt at a design for the large cent was Adam Eckfeldt's Wreath type. The obverse is not unlike that of the 1793 Chain cent, although Liberty's portrait is more refined and a beaded border has been added. The reverse depicts the same statutory inscriptions as the Chain cent, although a wreath has replaced the chain as the central device. Breen believes that curious citizens saved a limited number of 1793 Wreath cents as novelties, but the extant population is probably no more than 6-7% of the 63,353 pieces produced. One of the most impressive Wreath cents that this cataloger has seen, both sides of this coin display rich crimson-brown patination. We can find no fault with the strike, all devices being bold and clear. There are a few areas of microscopic planchet roughness on the reverse, but neither side reveals any features that have a negative influence on the overall eye appeal. Obviously well preserved since the late 18th century, we anticipate that this coin will have little trouble finding a new home in a prized collection of U.S. copper.

by Jack Cassidy & Stephanie Grote-Garcia
In 1996, the idea for the first survey was hatched (Cassidy & Wenrich, 1997); no one at the time realized that the list would become an annual fixture. The results of the survey are routinely cited at conferences and in a variety of publications. Various editions of the survey have been translated into Spanish and replicated in individual states in the U.S. With some modifications, the survey has also been replicated in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Romania, and Europe as a whole. More in-depth discussions of the survey began appearing in 1998 (Cassidy & Wenrich, 1998-99) and over the years have appeared in a variety of venues. This year is no exception (Cassidy, 2012; Cassidy & Grote Garcia, 2012; Cassidy & Ortleib, 2012; Cassidy & Valadez, 2012).
Over the last 16 years, a variety of topics have been identified as "hot" (i.e., the center of current attention). Some remain "hot" for numerous years; some stay "hot" for a short time; and others make frequent visits between the "hot" and "cold" lists. The appearance of an item on the "cold" list indicates that the item is currently not receiving attention and therefore, "not hot."
Selecting the Topics
One item that is consistently changing is the survey itself, more specifically the topics featured on the survey. Each year, the survey changes slightly―some years more than others. The original survey consisted of topics found in timely academic publications and other popular media, such as magazine and newspaper articles. The International Reading Association's Director of Research at the time was also consulted and assisted in finalizing the first survey, which then provided an evolving platform for the next 15 surveys. After the first year, the survey has been constructed by asking the respondents of the prior year to make modifications, additions, and deletions to the topics on the survey. Based on those suggestions, the new survey is formed. This year's survey was collaboratively formed by 24 of last year's 25 respondents. Two topics were added (formative assessment and text complexity) and two topics were deleted (curriculum-based assessment and scientific evidence-based reading research and instruction). Efforts are made to keep the total number of topics between 25 and 30.
Conducting the Survey
The "hot" and "cold" lists may have seen several changes in the last 16 years, but two things have almost always remained the same―the method used to select the survey respondents and the manner in which the survey has been conducted.
Each year 25 literacy leaders are surveyed to identify the "hot" and "not hot" topics in the field. The only exception was the first year when 22 leaders were surveyed instead of 25. The selected leaders form a very diverse group. They not only represent various job categories (e.g., professors, administrators, and classroom teachers), but are also from various geographical regions found within the International Reading Association's global membership. The percentage of IRA members in a given area determines the number of literacy leaders interviewed from that area. In addition, and most importantly, the survey respondents are selected because they possess a comprehensive perspective of literacy and in most cases have made significant contributions to the literacy field.
Not only has the selection process for respondents stayed consistent, so has the manner in which the survey is conducted. During the spring and summer months the literacy leaders are interviewed, either in person or by phone. All are read a standard 178-word paragraph explaining that their ratings of "hot" and "not hot" do not reflect their personal interests, rather the ratings refer to the level of attention that the topics are currently receiving. The respondents are then asked to rate each of the given topics as either "hot" or "not hot" along with whether each topic "should be hot" or "should not be hot". In other words, should the item be receiving attention at the current time? Originally respondents were not asked if the given topic "should be hot". This was added to the survey in the year of 2000.
After all 25 surveys are completed, the collected ratings are tallied. Topics identified by at least 75% of the respondents as currently receiving attention are recognized as "very hot". This process is the same for identifying topics that "should be hot."
Replicating the Survey
As always, the authors are receptive to helping scholars replicate the survey. Last year, one young scholar used the survey with only with beginning professors starting their career. For help with replicating the survey, contact email@example.com.

Private-sector researchers have recently uncovered a way to improve employee satisfaction that's within managers' control
In May 2009, Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag put agencies on notice. Job satisfaction, he said, "needs to be built into the way we run government." He made his comment at the Partnership for Public Service ceremony announcing agency rankings in the annual Best Places to Work survey. He followed through by including employee survey data and agencies' efforts to improve their ratings in his agency-by-agency reviews for the fiscal 2011 budget cycle.
As a result, agency managers have been scrambling to figure out ways to improve employee satisfaction. Private-sector researchers have recently uncovered an approach that seems to work. Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer, in a recent Harvard Business Review article called "What Really Motivates Workers," tell managers: "The key to motivation turns out to be largely within your control."
Their advice? "Scrupulously avoid impeding progress."
Amabile and Kramer surveyed more than 600 managers and then conducted a multiyear study of hundreds of knowledge workers, asking them to keep daily diaries to discover the top motivator of performance. Not surprisingly, managers and workers came to different conclusions.
Managers were asked to rank the impact of five workplace factors commonly considered significant motivators: recognition, incentives, interpersonal support, support for making progress and clear goals. "Recognition for good work" topped their list.
However, the recognition factor was ranked dead last by workers. The researchers found that workers ranked "support for making progress" as their No. 1 motivator. "On days when workers have the sense they're making headway in their jobs...their emotions are most positive and their drive to succeed is at its peak." However, "on days when they feel they are spinning their wheels or encountering roadblocks to meaningful accomplishment, their moods and motivation are lowest."
In a close analysis of thousands of diary entries, Amabile and Kramer found that "making progress" was linked to 76 percent of employees' reported "best days."
What are the implications of those findings? Managers have a lot more control over motivating employees than they might have thought. "Create a culture of helpfulness.... Roll up your sleeves and pitch in," the authors wrote. "Provide meaningful goals, resources and encouragement, and ... protect [your] people from irrelevant demands." They conclude by saying, "Recognition can't happen every day. You can, however, see that progress happens every day."
Does that approach really work? Think about your best bosses. Weren't they the ones who made it their goal to deal with the bureaucracy and irrelevant demands so you could deal with the work? Wasn't it a great feeling to make real progress because your boss had cleared the way? Great leaders seem to understand that intuitively. For example, Gen. Colin Powell often said his job wasn't only to clarify overall goals but also to sweat the small stuff so his staff could focus on the big problems.
It's a new year. Try this shift in management emphasis. Ask your employees what gets in their way of making progress and try to do something about it. After a few weeks, take some time to see if your efforts have made a difference.

30 year old woman | Upper Arlington, OH, USA | Seeking men 26-35 within 30 miles of Columbus, OH
Your search is over.
Hi there! I have recently become settled in my career as a teacher andI would love to figure out who I am going to share my fabulous life with! I am opening myself to what is out there. To start off, I want to take it casually and see what happens from there! I love dating and all the excitement that goes with it! Ultimately I would like to develop a relationship. I am an outgoing person that could make friends with a brick wall, or so my friends have said. I hope this allows me to meet new people...and who knows what else! My life is fast paced and I am passionate about the people who are a part of it. In the past 6ish months, I have become obsessed with running and working out. It all started with some silliness at the Oktoberfest 4 Miler, when my friends and I ran the race dressed as beer bottles! We conquered that and asked, what's next?! We ran a few other 5ks and on May 4th, I ran the Cap City Half Marathon! I never thought I would say this, but working out has become a major part of my life and I am loving it! I am most passionate about my friends and family. These people have shaped me to be the woman I am today and I love spending time with them. I choose to surround myself with people that make me strive to be a better person and in return, I do my best to build up those around me. My loyalty to others is possibly the quality of which I am most proud. I am fortunate enough to have my dad here in town and we spend at least one night a week dining together. Ideally I would like to find someone who is confident in who he is and has his life in order. I am looking for someone who is ready for a serious relationship. I would like my man to be funny, outgoing and intelligent. I also hope to find someone who shares the same religious faith as I do, but it's not a requirement. What's most important is acceptance of one another's beliefs. When all is said and done, I am looking for someone who I can have a good time with, no matter what we're doing. To quote one of my favorite musicals, "I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine!

Ohio University, Athens, OH
...raindrops on roses...just kidding. I love all brands of CSI and Law & Order...nothing like a good murder mystery to cap off your night! As far as music goes I will always be a pop rock girl at heart.
My free time is spent as a social butterfly...no wallflowers here! I enjoy all that CBus has to offer from festivals to art galleries to the bar scene to the beautiful outdoors! I've recently bought a new bike & been out on it just about every day!
Unfortunately, I do not have much time to read for pleasure during the school year. I did just finish reading ALL FIVE of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" books!

I have a confession to make.
So you know how I talk a lot about body image and how weight loss shouldn't be the sole focus of our fitness mission?
Constantly having that message floating around in my brain and constantly writing about it started to make me feel like it would never be OK for weight loss to be a part of my own goals again.
If I'm telling you not to worry about losing weight, then what business do I have trying to lose weight?
But if I'm being honest, and I always will be here, weight loss—or actually, I should say fat loss—is absolutely a part of my goal right now. … Read More

Awesome...good to see some wars going down. Lack of competition and wars has made this game get boring. Best part about Wii Goldeneye was all the wars and fun competative matches. I musta played in over 35 wars on GE:Wii.
Good luck to both sides. Maybe BRAP will quit avoiding us and war us soon :P

perry not sure what you mean tomorrow? i've been told nothing about this. you guys don't want any part of us though perry, we're not playing rocketfest with your clan. if we battle it'll be rocketless, no GL and no masterton. i think brap has maybe 2 guys that even put anything besides a masterton.mjr in a loadout. we had a chat with superleeds yesterday and talked roster and your name wasn't even mentioned btw but i'd prefer you in their roster being that you apparently aren't glued to a shotgun like everyone else.
and yelaraka the hacker king! you know i'm jk. we gladly accept. let me try to round up a few guys and we need to discuss rules. i for one like no rockets no grenade launchers no mastertons base rules myself. anything else is fine with me. i'll get some input from my guys and we'll talk soon.

Those rules sound great Jarett...let me add in no Proximity mines and we got a deal.
RS can probably get a 9pm start on a week day or a afternoon start on a weekend. I will post on our FB page and give the guys a heads up.
Few more rules just to make things easier so everyone knows what's up ahead of time.
- Rotate map selection every other match.
- Best of 9 or 11??
- Team Conflict.
- 5 vs 5 (can rotate in players if ya choose)
- First to 6,000 points like usual.
- Time limit 10 minutes like usual.
- If anyone loses connection continue playing a man down and hopefully that guy can get back in asap.
- I would like to set up the private party...I will be recording and can show before each match nothing has been altered to benefit my team.

I can agree to all that. Any number of matches works. 7-9-11. No proxies makes run and gun work a lot better. 5 on 5 works for me and some of my guys might like to rotate as we do have a lot of members and about 8 worthy of getting a part in this.
i'm trying to get a time frame from a few guys. most of them work, are in the military or have classes. one actually plays in the NFL, so it's going to take me a little to organize.

JOE do everyone a favor and STFU. It will make this a lot more fun for everybody else to have good competative games without having to listen to your butthurt ace pout after every match you get pooped on.
The funniest thing is how tou cry hacks in games I actually recorded LMAO!! You suk bro...sooner you get that the sooner you quit looking like a fool.
Sounds good Jarett let me know when you know what you know so I know to tell my guys what I know.

Life isn't complicated ,so why relationships should be complicated?
I am a very happy guy and I'm looking for someone to share my happiness with, that simple, am i asking too much? the truth is I've always been scared of relationships because i don't like drama and i avoid problems. I did sign up with match.com long time and never went on a date or try to contact anyone(I guess I wasn't ready), but now I'm willing to give it a shot after i heard so many good stories and I'm sure there is someone for me.I have my own business and it's doing very well and i don't work as hard as i used to so that gives me the flexibility to take care of myself and enjoy life. I love to exercise ,travel and i enjoy being around people and i do joke around a lot. I'm not looking for super hot girl, just have to be attracted to her and be able to enjoy her company, love beautiful smile and happy face, don't like girl who likes to challenge or argue on everything and don't like someone who agree on everything either, someone who has balance in her life and knows what she wants . I do believe all women should be treated very well and if you don't like someone just walk away nicely. I'm looking to get serious with someone (about time) so i guess it's time to upgrade my life style.

My wife got me a Channellock set in SAE sizes, but we have a Toyota and a Kia so I needed metric. The SAE set gets used for mowers, etc., and this set is for the cars. Guess what? IT IS IDENTICAL to the Channellock set in EVERY WAY except for the brand name on it. The fit and finish is very high quality. I used these to replace the rear struts and springs on my Toyota, though it was widely advised that I wouldn't be able to remove certain lower mounting bolts without an impact wrench. I used an HF breaker bar (the 1/2" drive one) with an HF 17mm impact socket, and using the 17mm open-end from this set holding onto the other end of the bolt to keep it from turning. Came off with no problem , though it was the original strut and had been exposed to Michigan road salt for 19 years. Note, however, that there is no 11mm in this set, so I bought one from a different store in case I need it.

I hate that most companies skip sizes in their products, not just hf. This kit would also be better with longer wrenches and a fixed box end to crack or torque nuts and bolts. My 12mm locked up and won't ratchet but I will exchange for another set. In the right situation these things are awesome. They just aren't as versatile or as complete as they should be. There are much better sets out there but for the money these can't be beat. I use them daily and for the most part they take a beating. Just don't use them in high torque applications. All ratchets have their strength limitations.

Avid DIYer. Used mainly on auto repair. Extremely useful for getting into tight places without constantly removing the closed end to reset tool like a normal box end wrench. Fantastic item no person should do without for this affordable price with the warranty that's for sure. I'm hoping that one day HF comes out with a longer or extended metric set because that would be great.

These are the best for everything
By Josh the tooldude
from Antioch, TN
See all my reviews
Although I already wrote a review, it has been a while, so I thought I would update it a little. anyway, these have performed far above what I thought they would in terms of performance and durability.although I have to take two of them in for a lifetime warranty replacement, that was due to lack of WD 40 and keeping them dry when it came to wet areas, needless to say the people at the store gave me very good lifetime warranty service and I was out of the store in less than 5 minutes with my new wrenches.overall, these are the right tool for the job and if you are thinking about getting some, think no more and go buy a set.I also Have a review on the SAE set(item96654)
For the price, simply cannot be beat
By Jeff

I bought these because I needed an extra 14mm wrench for taking apart an exhaust. One of the bolts was stuck on there good, and I didn't have clearance for a breaker bar. I put the 14mm open end from this pack on the nut, put a 14mm hex socket on the breaker bar, and put the hex through the ratcheting box end of this wrench. I thought, "well if it snaps I'm not out much money-wise." It broke the nut free with no hassle. I put a LOT of torque on that ratcheting mechanism through this, and it didn't even break a sweat. For twenty bones, that's just amazing quality.If you don't want to spend the money on better brands, these wrenches will do you well.

Great set. Just got these a few weeks ago and already broke them in. Had to pull the engine and transmission from my S10 and used these a lot to get in some tight spots. They performed excellent and in some cases I had some torque on them. If you are considering these, stop it and go buy them. I have the metric set and hope soon to get the SAE set. Great product.
Great wrenches
By Jim in Ohio
from Ohio
These are great little wrenches and I guarantee you will find yourself reaching for them over and over again!Just beware, as one reviewer noted, it IS possible when backing a bolt out of a hole in a tight space, to back up to point you can't remove the wrench, and can't turn it back the other way. THIS IS AN OPERATOR ERROR, not the fault of the wrench.With that being said, these are awesome wrenches and you won't be disappointed in them.
Fair price and good Product
By James P.
I use these to work on our vehicles. I am impressed with their durability. I have had to cheat once in a while and slip a pipe over them for a little added leverage when breaking something loose and they have held up well. I was a bit concerned since they were short that they would not not hold up to much torque. Using a little common sense they hold remarkably well. They have saved me a few times!
Great wrenches, incredible price!

I use these all the time for all types of projects.Anything from lawnmower to car, bike to playground, and everything in between.I have SAE and Metric and use them all the time.Very affordable and reliable.And the lifetime warranty is a plus
fit and precise
By peter.elgin64
from Elgin, IL
used to loosen timing belt screw and coolant temperature sensor brace screw in order to remove valve cover on camry 4 cylinder engine. it took about 15 seconds to unscrew them, if using regular wrench it would be 10 minutes. it compared the 17 mm with gearwrench. the later is a bit longer and a bit thicker but Pittsburg's ratchet gear is much more tight and precise.

Dave Gibbons Watchmen #3 "Trefoil Fallout Shelter Symbol" Cover Original Art (DC, 1986). "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" -- Genesis chapter 18, verse 25. Dave Gibbon's evocative Fallout Shelter trefoil symbol set the stage "The Judge of All Earth," the third installment in writer Alan Moore's classic superhero tale, Watchmen. This chapter revolved around the exile of Doctor Manhattan and his relationship with Janey Slater and Laurie Juspeczyk who starts to spend time with Dan Dreiberg. The main theme is the risen fear of nuclear war that spread across the city of New York. The impact of this landmark series seems to grow with each passing year, and further bolstered by 2009's successful movie adaptation, the demand for all things Watchmen continues at a fever pitch. Original art from this series simply doesn't change hands once a page lands in a collection, so the demand far outweighs the supply -- witness our Heritage sale of the first page from the first issue, which went for a whopping $33,000+ -- this cover is sure to be a prized showpiece for any Watchmen fan, and the bidding will be ultra-competitive. This spectacular image has an image area of 10" x 15", and the art is in Excellent condition. From the Shamus Modern Masterworks Collection.

Carson Palmer hasn't spoken to OC
Updated: February 7, 2011, 8:15 PM ETAssociated Press
CINCINNATI -- New Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden still hasn't talked to Carson Palmer. He's leaving that awkward coach-to-quarterback talk for another time.
Gruden was in town Monday to start teaching his philosophy to the rest of the coaching staff. He's implementing a far different offense -- totally new terminology -- on a team unsure about its franchise player.
Palmer asked for a trade following a 4-12 finish that left the Bengals with only two winning records ...

A subdural hematoma is a traumatic brain injury where blood gathers over the surface of the brain and can be the result of a birth injury. A subdural hematoma is usually the result of torn, bleeding veins within the brain caused by a blow to the head.
The seriousness of this injury depends on it's size. Small subdural hematomas ususally aren't considered to be as serious; the blood in the brain can be absorbed over several weeks. But larger heratomas can continue to grow over weeks, even if the bleeding has stopped. Death from a larger subdural hematoma is possible if blood from the brain isn't drained.
The appearance of symptoms after the injury can range from less than 48 hours to weeks. If symptoms appearing within 48 hours are from the tearing of the venous sinus in the brain, also known as an acute subdural hematoma, and the bleeding can be fatal.
When symptoms appear weeks after the initial injury, it's considered a chronic subdural hematoma because the bleeding is from a tear of a smaller vein. Chronic subdural hematoma is less dangerous but can still result in permanent brain damage.
A subdural hematoma is an emergency condition. If you suspect anyone of having this condition, immediately get them medical attention because emergency surgery may be needed.
Subdural hematomas happen as the result of a traumatic head injury, such as a traumatic birth. Symptoms of a subdural hematoma include:
