To examine the relationship between cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy and pulse waveform analysis (PWA) measures of arterial stiffness in a childhood-onset type 1 diabetes population.
Cardiac autonomic nerve function was measured in the baseline examination of the Pittsburgh Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications Study of childhood-onset type 1 diabetes by heart rate variability (R-R interval) during deep breathing and expressed as expiration-to-inspiration (E/I) ratio. Other cardiovascular and diabetes factors were also assessed. PWA was performed using SphgymoCor Px on 144 participants at the 18-year follow-up examination. Univariate and multivariate analyses for associations between baseline nerve function and other cardiovascular and diabetes-related factors were performed for augmentation index (AIx), augmentation pressure (AP), and subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR), a surrogate marker of myocardial perfusion.
E/I ratio correlated negatively with both AIx (r = −0.18, P = 0.03) and AP (r = −0.32, P < 0.001) and positively with SEVR (r = 0.47, P < 0.001) univariately. Lower baseline E/I ratio, HDL cholesterol, and a history of smoking were associated with higher follow-up (18 years later) AIx and AP and lower SEVR in multivariate analyses. Higher baseline HbA1 was also associated with higher AP and lower SEVR multivariately.
Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy is associated with increased arterial stiffness measures and decreased estimated myocardial perfusion in those with type 1 diabetes some 18 years later. This association persists after adjustment for potential confounders as well as for baseline HbA1, HDL cholesterol, and smoking history, which were also associated with these PWA measures.
Cardiovascular disease occurs earlier and with greater frequency in people with diabetes, a finding particularly striking in women (1). These observations are especially true for young adults with type 1 diabetes, in whom coronary artery disease is increased 10-fold or greater (2). Much of the risk for coronary artery disease in type 1 diabetes lies in the presence and severity of atherosclerosis and its risk factors (dyslipidemia/hyperlipidemia). Blood flow dynamics and arteriosclerosis or arterial stiffening, which are measured in a variety of ways, are also important risk factors for cardiovascular events and mortality (3). Interestingly, in case-control studies, arterial stiffness indexes are shown to be increased generally in those with type 1 diabetes (4). Indexes of arterial stiffness can be measured noninvasively with pulse waveform analysis (PWA) using applanation tonometry (external application of a micromanometer-tipped probe over a peripheral artery) (5). PWA provides a variety of indexes and hemodynamic parameters, including 1) augmentation pressure (AP) and 2) augmentation index (AIx), both of which provide information about the effects of early wave reflection on central blood pressure, as well as 3) subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR), an indicator of potential for myocardial ischemia. SEVR is the ratio of the area under the time-pressure curve during diastole (an estimate of myocardial perfusion) to the area under the curve during systole (an estimate of cardiac workload) (6).
Currently, few data are available concerning risk factors for increased arterial stiffness in those with type 1 diabetes. In addition to traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors, autonomic neuropathy (AN), a complication of type 1 diabetes, is of particular interest, as it predicts cardiovascular events and mortality (7). The autonomic nervous system is responsible for regulating heart rate and vascular tone and, therefore, may contribute to increased arterial stiffness in those with type 1 diabetes. Thus, the aim of the present study is to examine the association between cardiovascular autonomic nerve function and arterial stiffness, via AIx and AP, and myocardial perfusion, via SEVR, in a type 1 diabetic population.
Participants in the Pittsburgh Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications (EDC) study, an 18-year prospective investigation of patients with childhood-onset (age <17 years) type 1 diabetes, were selected for study. EDC participants were either diagnosed or seen within 1 year of diagnosis at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh between 1950 and 1980 and were on insulin therapy at initial discharge. Baseline examination in the EDC study occurred between 1986 and 1988, after which participants were examined biennially thereafter. At the 18-year examination (November 2004 to November 2006), PWA was performed. The study protocol was approved by the University of Pittsburgh Institutional Review Board.
Of the 658 EDC study participants examined at baseline, 140 (21.3%) had died by the 18-year follow-up and 79 (12%) had moved out of the area, leaving 439 eligible for examination, 72% of whom (n = 318) took part. For this analysis, complete data were available for 309 participants. PWA testing began part way through the 18-year examination period (January 2006), after which 189 subjects were seen, 144 (76%) of whom had PWA performed and formed the study population for this analysis.
Physical activity was assessed by survey as previously described (8). Self-reported alcohol consumption (average drinks/week), current and ever-smoker status (at least 100 cigarettes during lifetime), and medication use (coded according to the World Health Organization's Anatomical, Therapeutical, and Chemical Classification/Defined Daily Dose [ATC/DDD] codes) were obtained. Medications of interest in these analyses were those potentially effecting pulse wave reflection indexes (i.e., ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers [ARBs], calcium channel blockers, β-blockers, and nitrates) (9). To account for the potential confounding effect of use of these medications, a dichotomous "pulse wave drug" (PWD) variable was created (any use versus no use).
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels were measured after a 5-min rest using a random zero sphygmomanometer, according to a standardized protocol. Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure >130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >80 mmHg or the use of antihypertensive medication for the purpose of lowering blood pressure. Height was measured in centimeters and weight in kilograms and from these, BMI was calculated (kg/m2). Waist and hip circumferences were measured two times (a third time only if the first two measures were not within 0.5 cm of each other). These waist and hip measurements were averaged and used to calculate waist-to-hip ratio. Total cholesterol levels were measured enzymatically (10). HDL cholesterol levels were determined using a modified (11) precipitation technique (heparin and manganese chloride) based on the Lipid Research Clinics method. Non-HDL cholesterol was calculated by subtracting HDL cholesterol level from total cholesterol level. Heart rate response to deep breathing, the expiration-inspiration (E/I) ratio, defined cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy. In addition, symptomatic autonomic neuropathy consisted of both an abnormal E/I ratio (<1.1) and at least two positive responses to 21 questions asked during the EDC physician examination (Diabetes Control and Complications Trial clinical protocol) about symptoms of autonomic neuropathy (e.g., gastroparesis, incontinence, impotence, etc.).
Complete blood counts (CBC) were determined using the Coulter S-Plus IV (Beckman Coulter, Fullerton, CA). Urinary and serum creatinine concentrations were measured using an Ectachem 400 Analyzer (Eastman Kodak, Rochester, NY). For the first 18 months, blood samples were analyzed for hemoglobin A1 (HbA1) using microcolumn cation-exchange (Isolab, Akron, OH). For the remainder of the baseline clinic visits, automated high-performance liquid chromatography (Diamat; Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) was performed. The two assays were highly correlated (r = 0.95; [Diamat HbA1] = −0.18 + 1.00 [Isolab HbA1]). Urinary albumin was measured by immunonephelometry (12). Albumin excretion rates (AERs) were calculated using urinary albumin levels from at least two validated timed sample collections.
Aortic AIx, aortic AP, and SEVR were derived using waveforms measured at the radial artery using the SphygmoCor Px version 7.01 (AtCor Medical, Sydney, Australia). In brief, a high-fidelity micromanometer with a frequency response of >2 kHz (Millar Instruments, Houston, TX) was gently pressed on the right radial artery until a consistent waveform was produced. Measurement was stopped after at least 20 sequential waveforms had been acquired. Central pressure values were estimated from radial measurements using the software's mathematical transfer function, which is both accurate and reliable (5). The pressure wave created by left ventricular contraction propagates forward until meeting sites of resistance that reflect the wave backward; thus, stiffer artery walls result in earlier wave reflection (13). When the reflected wave returns during systole rather than diastole, systolic pressure is increased or "augmented." AP is a measure of how much the early reflected wave contributes to central systolic pressure. AIx represents the level of augmentation measured and is expressed as a percentage of the pulse pressure (PP) (AIx = AP/PP). SEVR is a tonometric noninvasive measure of myocardial perfusion (as coronary artery perfusion takes place primarily during diastole) relative to cardiac workload (myocardial contraction). SEVR is measured as the ratio of the diastolic area under the curve of an arterial pulse wave to the systolic area under the curve. The SphygmoCor device provides a quality index, which represents reproducibility of the waveform. PWA measures with a quality index <80 were repeated, and only measures with a quality index ≥80 were included in this study.
Distributional characteristics and normality of all variables were assessed. Student's t test and one-way ANOVA were used to compare normally distributed variables between groups, whereas Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used for non-normally distributed variables (e.g., AP, triglyceride, serum creatinine, AER, white blood cell). The χ2 test was used to compare categorical variables between groups.
Pearson's and Spearman's correlations were used for bivariate correlations for normal and non-normally distributed variables, respectively. Linear regression models were fit for AIx, AP, and SEVR. All categorical variables were dichotomized, and all continuous variables were standardized to the sample before multivariate regression analyses, to make appropriate comparisons between the PWA and the remaining 18-year populations. Modeling of AP required natural logarithmically transformed AP [Ln(AP)], since regression residuals were not normally distributed. Stepwise forward regression using baseline variables was completed for each PWA measure adjusting for concurrent potential confounders (even if not statistically significant). All statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 15.0 for Windows (SPSS, Chicago, IL). A minimal level of significance of P < 0.05 is used. However, due to the limited sample size, factors with P < 0.10 were also considered important.
Characteristics of the PWA study population (n = 144, 46.6%) and the remaining EDC population examined at the 18-year follow-up (nonparticipants, n = 165, 53.4%) are listed in Table 1. The mean (±SD) age and diabetes duration for the PWA population at baseline were 25.9 ± 7.4 and 17.6 ± 6.7 years, respectively, which did not significantly differ from the nonparticipants. The only significantly different factor at baseline between PWA participants and nonparticipants was mean baseline heart rate (76.0 ± 12.3 vs. 73.1 ± 11.1; P = 0.04). At follow-up 18 years later, individuals with PWA measures still had significantly higher mean heart rate than nonparticipants, as well as lower mean waist-to-hip ratio and mean AER (data not shown). PWA participants also had a borderline significantly greater percentage of reported current smokers at follow-up (15 vs. 8%, P = 0.05) but not ever-smokers (40 vs. 32%, P = 0.13). They also had greater mean alcoholic drinks/week (2.6 ± 6.1 vs. 1.8 ± 5.2, P = 0.09) than non-PWA EDC participants.
AIx and AP were highly correlated (r = 0.90, P < 0.001). Both factors were also significantly correlated with height, heart rate, and age (P < 0.01). SEVR was not significantly correlated with AIx (r = −0.06, P = 0.49), but was negatively correlated with AP (r = −0.21, P = 0.01). SEVR was also significantly negatively correlated with age (r = −0.29, P < 0.001) and heart rate (r = −0.67, P < 0.001) and positively correlated with height (r = 0.23, P < 0.01). AIx and AP remained significantly correlated with height after adjustment for sex, but SEVR did not.
Unadjusted correlations between PWA measures and baseline variables are described in Table 2. Baseline E/I ratio, heart rate, and energy expenditure in sports activities were all negatively associated with AIx and AP and positively associated with SEVR. This pattern did not change when individuals with symptomatic AN (n = 19) were excluded from analysis (data not shown). Both non-HDL cholesterol and AER were positively associated with AP, but not AIx, and negatively with SEVR. BMI was correlated only with AIx. AIx and AP were higher and SEVR was lower in women than in men (Table 2). This same pattern existed between individuals with a history of smoking compared with individuals without.
A total of 90 (62.5%) of the 144 PWA study participants reported medication use that is known to affect arterial stiffness (PWD use). Most (88.9%; n = 80) were using an ACE inhibitor and/or an ARB. Of the 16 participants taking β-blockers, 10 (62.5%) were also taking ACE inhibitors/ARBs. The 13 (of 18) reporting calcium channel blocker use, and 4 (of 5) participants reporting nitrate use, were also taking ACE inhibitors/ARBs.
In multivariate analyses relating baseline measures while adjusting for follow-up potential confounders (age, sex, height, heart rate, PWD use), lower E/I ratio, lower HDL cholesterol, and a history of smoking were associated with greater follow-up AIx and Ln(AP) (Table 3). Higher baseline HbA1 was also associated with higher AP. The baseline factors associated with decreased SEVR were lower E/I ratio, higher HbA1, and having a smoking history. Results were similar when models were adjusted for ACE inhibitors/ARB use instead of PWD use. However, based on P values, ACE inhibitors/ARB use was more significantly related to PWA measures than was the more inclusive PWD use variable (data not shown).
In sex-adjusted analyses, E/I ratio was related to all three PWA measures. In sex-stratified analyses (data not shown), E/I ratio remained significantly associated with AP and SEVR in females but not in males.
The key finding in this study is that baseline cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (measured by E/I ratio) strongly correlates with both arterial stiffness (measured by both augmentation index and augmentation pressure) and reduced estimated myocardial perfusion (measured by SEVR) in childhood-onset type 1 diabetes some 18 years later. Along with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy, known cardiovascular risk factors such as reduced HDL cholesterol and cigarette smoking were also predictive of the increased stiffness indexes AIx and AP. Poorer glycemic control (higher baseline HbA1) in this population was also associated with higher AP and with lower SEVR. However, because we did not have PWA measures at baseline and cannot be certain that these factors are true predictors of incidence, it seems likely that cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy may exert a major pathophysiological role in the development of arterial stiffening.
E/I ratio was predictive, multivariately, of both AIx and Ln(AP). This finding is consistent with the finding by Ahlgren et al. (14) of a significant correlation between E/I ratio and aortic stiffness (measured as aortic distensibility using ultrasonography) in females, but not in males, with type 1 diabetes. However, because of limited sample size in our study, sex-stratified analyses are not conclusive. In our type 1 diabetes population, diabetic autonomic neuropathy has been associated with increased all-cause mortality, and specifically cardiovascular mortality, as well as nonfatal cardiovascular events (7). Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy has also been shown to be associated with left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction in type 1 diabetes (15). As arterial stiffness indexes are shown to contribute to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (16), arterial stiffness may be a critical link between AN and cardiovascular disease. Type 1 diabetic patients without neuropathy, nephropathy, or retinopathy have been observed to have preserved vascular function (17), which suggests an intimate relationship between vascular dysfunction and these complications.
Lower HDL cholesterol, a traditional cardiovascular risk factor but not higher non-HDL cholesterol, was independently predictive of AIx and Ln(AP). In a study of healthy subjects, Duprez et al. (18) showed that low HDL cholesterol was significantly correlated to AP and AIx in women but not in men. However, the study examined only univariate correlations. The results of the present study are generally consistent with baseline HDL cholesterol being associated with both AIx and Ln(AP) in partial correlations and in multivariate sex-adjusted models; in sex-stratified analyses, lower HDL cholesterol remained significantly associated with higher AIx and higher AP in women and with higher AP in men.
A history of smoking was significantly associated with all three outcomes. This finding is not surprising, since cigarette smoking is known to be associated with arterial stiffness indexes, particularly in individuals with hypertension (19). A higher baseline HbA1 was also associated with increased AP and decreased SEVR in the present study. This is consistent with the notion that the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is one of the primary mechanisms involved in arterial stiffening, especially in individuals with diabetes. Arterial wall exposure to AGEs can cause cross-linking of collagen molecules, which in turn reduces arterial elasticity (20). AGEs are shown to be associated with increased arterial AIx in individuals with hypertension (21). Schram et al. (22) showed that AGEs, specifically, pentosidine, Nepsilon-(carboxymethyl)lysine, and Nepsilon-(carboxyethyl)lysine, were all significantly associated with increased pulse pressure in individuals with type 1 diabetes cross-sectionally, whereas A1C was not. However, Gordin et al. (23) did find a concurrent association between A1C and AIx in a small study of 22 healthy males with type 1 diabetes. In our study, concurrent A1C also was not significantly associated with PWA measures (data not shown). Baseline HbA1 level may better represent the historic exposure to hyperglycemia that leads to AGE exposure than concurrent A1C.
Many of the factors associated with AIx were also associated with AP in this study. This is not surprising, since AIx is merely AP/PP × 100. AP is the measure of contribution that the wave reflection makes to the systolic arterial pressure, and it is obtained by measuring the reflected wave coming from the periphery to the center. As the reflected wave returns earlier in the cardiac cycle, there is a disproportionate rise in systolic blood pressure and therefore an increase in PP. It has been shown that AIx increases with age in the healthy population until ~55 years of age, when diastolic blood pressure may plateau or fall, contributing to higher PP. AP, however, steadily increases with age without reaching a plateau (24); thus, AP may be a better representation of vascular aging when PP rises, since this will result in lower AIx. This may be true in individuals with type 1 diabetes at a younger age, since type 1 diabetes is associated with accelerated vascular aging (25). Because poorer glycemic control is also associated with increased PP (22), this may explain why baseline HbA1 was associated multivariately with AP, but not with AIx.
While nearly half (48.6%) of our study population showed evidence of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (E/I ratio <1.1) on exam at baseline, a much smaller proportion of the population (14.5%) was experiencing symptomatic autonomic neuropathy at baseline. Also, at baseline, no objective measures of autonomic neuropathy in other end-organs were obtained (e.g., gastroparesis, impaired bladder function, impotence, etc.). Because we did not see any difference in univariate analyses when individuals with symptomatic autonomic neuropathy were excluded, we hypothesize that individuals with autonomic neuropathy are more likely to have increased arterial stiffness irrespective of concomitant symptoms.
This study has significant limitations. For one, the sample size was relatively limited, and, as such, P values <0.10 have been reported. However, this study is the largest to date to assess PWA measures (AIx, AP, and SEVR) in type 1 diabetes. Also, this study lacks PWA measurements at baseline. Thus, significant factors in this study can only be considered potential predictors of the arterial stiffness indexes measured and need to be confirmed prospectively in a type 1 diabetes population, before designation as true predictors. Another limitation is that this population is essentially a survivor population in that those who were either deceased or unable to attend at the 18-year follow-up examination because of poor health may represent individuals with greater risk for complications and/or those most affected by increased arterial stiffness. Also, compared with individuals at the 18-year follow-up but without PWA measures, the PWA study group had significantly lower follow-up AER measures and waist-to-hip ratio and therefore may represent a healthier segment of our type 1 diabetes population (data not shown). However, these limitations are more likely to hinder finding significant relationships between baseline factors and follow-up PWA measures than demonstrate false relationships.
Furthermore, this is the first study to examine multiple potential risk factors for arterial stiffness in a type 1 diabetes population. The findings of this study have clinical significance, since we show potentially modifiable risk factor states (notably cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy, cigarette smoking, poor glycemic control, and low HDL cholesterol levels) are associated with increased arterial stiffness and lower estimated myocardial perfusion later in life in type 1 diabetes. The results of this study also confirm that the use of antihypertensive medications, specifically ACE inhibitors/ARBs, is associated with lower arterial stiffness indexes but does not necessarily improve coronary artery perfusion. Thus, early testing and treatment for autonomic neuropathy may be effective in reducing arterial stiffness and, in turn, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in individuals with type 1 diabetes.

The world is getting its first peek at Miley Cyrus' upcoming Bangerz tour -- and it looks exactly like you think it would!
Miley Cyrus dominated the 2013 EMAs by performing twice and accepting her EMA for Best Video for 'Wrecking Ball' by lighting up onstage (Nov. 10). She replaced twerking with toking.
Miley Cyrus deliberately made a huge, somewhat disturbing stir at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards with her awkward twerking and foam finger self-groping with Robin Thicke -- but she promises that at the 2013 MTV Europe Music Awards there won't be any teddy bears or foam fingers involved ... and probably a lot less backlash!
It was new tattoo time for Twitter selfie queen Miley Cyrus. The singer hit up celeb tattooist and Deadmau5's ex Kat Von D for a black and grey portrait tattoo on her forearm.
Thinking about making something fun and creative for a jack-o'-lantern? How about this Miley Cyrus pumpkin carved in her likeness?
"I came in like a wrecking balllll!"
Miley Cyrus' don't-give-a-you-know-what attitude has earned her a professional offer she doesn't need or likely doesn't want.

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Jaroslav Halak will start in goal for the St. Louis Blues in their playoff opener against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night. Coach Ken Hitchcock announced his decision Wednesday. Goaltender Brian Elliott is nursing an unspecified upper-body injury and he didn't practice. Elliott led the NHL with a 1.56 goals-against average and nine shutouts. Halak wasn't far behind with a 1.97 goals-against average and six shutouts. He is playoff-tested and won a pair of Game 7s with the Canadiens in 2009-10.

Relative to a comparison group of countries, we find that the sensitivity of capital flows into Korea to global conditions decreased in the period following the introduction of macroprudential policies.

Climate change, fracking to take center stage in 2013
Scott Tong
Interview with
Dec 25, 2012 Marketplace sustainability reporter Scott Tong shares his predictions on what's next for the United States when it comes to energy, fracking and climate change.
Britain's energy needs overcome fracking fears
Stephen Beard
Dec 13, 2012 Britain's government has given a company the green light for further hydraulic fracturing. The extraction of shale gas is seen as an economic lifeline as North Sea oil and gas deposits dwindle.
Seeing opportunity in North Dakota's oil boom
Todd Melby
Dec 11, 2012 Daniel Brock was happily teaching. Then he heard about jobs in the oil fields of North Dakota. Now he's happily working there.
U.S. energy production already affecting OPEC
Scott Tong
Dec 11, 2012 Higher oil and gas production in the U.S. will change oil relationships around the world. The Middle East won't be called on to produce as much, costing it income, but Saudi Arabia will remain a key player.
Railroads profit from oil boom in North Dakota
Eve Troeh
Dec 10, 2012 Trains haul fracking supplies into the region and haul oil out of it. The oil boom comes at a good time: the railroads' mainstay, coal, is in a slump.
One fracking minute: an animated explainer on hydraulic fracturing
Scott Tong
Dec 18, 2014 There's an oil and gas boom in North America thanks to an innovation known as hydraulic fracturing that extracts natural gas and oil from shale rock deep underground. Here's how it works.
George Mitchell, 94, dies: Oil man unlocked fracking
Scott Tong
Jul 26, 2013 It took nearly two decades for Texas oil man George Mitchell to develop fracking for natural gas. Now his process has unlocked an energy bonanza for the U.S.
How fracking affects a bean grown in India
Stacey Vanek Smith
Dec 10, 2012 Guar gum, made from beans grown mostly in India, is key to fracking. Its price has gone on a wild ride, sending oilfield companies scrambling.
Study supports exporting U.S. natural gas
Scott Tong
Dec 10, 2012 Exports to most countries have long been barred by federal law. As the Department of Energy considers several requests for export licenses, a study says exporting our glut of natural gas would benefit the economy.
Oil boom family is cramped but together
Laura Candler
Dec 5, 2012 A year after her husband moved to North Dakota's oil fields from their home in Missouri, Shannon Atwell picked up her four boys and joined him.

"I couldn't be happier with our invitations (and inserts/thank you cards). We requested the font to be in purple to match our colors, and it looks great. Something I didn't even think of was to make the back pattern purple as well, which they did on their own. Great quality and fast shipping. I can't wait to send these out!"
"I used these for my wedding invitations and everyone who received them RAVED! They are nice and thick and printed beautifully. DO NOT forget to include the reception information on your invite like I did! I had the church information but failed to include location and start time for the cocktail hour! It simply says "reception to follow." I also took these incites and glued them into a pocket fold that was gold. I put stickers with our initials on them to seal the pocket fold. Looked AMAZING"
"These invites were perfect for our Late August rustic themed wedding. Designing was simple and they arrived earlier than expected! Terrific experience!"
"My fiance and I fell in love with these invitations because of the beautiful trees. The invitation was simple, yet perfect to describe to our guests the feel of our wedding. The invitations turned out beautifully. I gave the Design 4 stars only because there isn't room to add much else - so the wording you see is really all that will fit (which in reality, is probably a good thing so that the invitation doesn't get too cluttered.)"
"I am having and as Asian-American wedding and was looking for an invitation that wouldn't put us over out budget but still had a nice Asian flair. I loved the design and to top it off the little elephant on the front and back made everything come together perfectly. My family is from Laos the land of a million elephants. I was able to keep the information simple yet it still made the invitation beautiful. The customer service was wonderful. I received my proofs within a timely manner and when I did come in contact with any staff they were always friendly, and knowledgeable."

For a college basketball player, its amazing how one moment in March can change a life. It is afairy-taletime for basketball players. Its a rite of duty for the favorites. Its heaven on Earth for the underdogs. Its a stage set to experience the unthinkable, unimaginable, unforeseeable to everyone but the guy who hits the buzzer beater to send the No. 2 seeded team home wondering, What just happened here? Madness, thats what happened. For Kyle OQuinn, that madness put him directly in front of the people that could alter the course of his life. Thats what got me here. That shot! the rookie center said jokingly. He was referring to the shot heard around the basketball world, the one that stunned secondseeded Missouri in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last season.Not that his performance 26 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, a steal and the buzzer beater in the 86-84 win for Norfolk State University was the sole reason he made it to the NBA, but it definitely got his foo...

Before I Go to Sleep (2011)
by S. J. Watson
Books With a Twist (27)
Books Read in 2013 (782)
» 9 more
Good book! The ending was not at All what I expected. Really good!
Christine suffers from forms of amnesia and so, every time she goes to sleep at night, she loses her memory both of that day and of the last 20-30 years. Her husband, Ben, has to explain her life to her every morning. She is contacted by a doctor who suggests she records each day in a journal and she gradually begins to recover certain memories and to wonder why Ben only tells her, e.g. that she had a son, if she remembers it first.
I found the basic premise and the first third completely gripping. The middle third dragged a bit and then I began to put pieces together, although I didn't work out everything. A hopeful ending. It would make a good film.
BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP a strong debut by S. J. Watson--a psychological haunting suspense of one woman's confused mind, a debilitating illness----leaving her vulnerable, alone, and frightened--unsure whom she can trust.
Based in London, Christina awakens not knowing the stranger in her bed. Ben of course, tries to comfort, assuring her they have been married for over twenty years. She discovers she has amnesia and unable to remember past events or retain new memories. Basically when she falls asleep, all her memories are gone. Zap!
She is seeing a therapist, who has encouraged her to write in her journal, similar to patients with Alzheimer's or other brain disorders, in order to try and remember her thoughts or actions. However, she reads her words, "Do not trust Ben." She begins to question herself and everyone around her. Where are her friends? Why is Ben so controlling and protective? Is Ben the enemy or is someone else? An affair possibly, or maybe her therapist? What caused this condition? She desperately tries to remember, as she feels she is in danger. Can she trust her therapist and is someone out to get her?
OK, several things here: I am reading (listening to the audiobook, narrated by Orlagh Cassidy, after having read S.J. Watson's second book, The Second Life 6/5/2015. I liked the second a little better, but neither blew away--both drag; and not a huge fan of the narrator.
Also the reason for the lower rating, I just finished reading TURN OF MIND by Alice LaPlante,(surgeon/dementia/murder) THE BOOKSELLER by Cynthia Swanson (confused mind in between two lives); Paul Cleave's TRUST NO ONE 5 Stars + (crime writer, Alzheimer's), Lisa Genova's STILL ALICE (professor, Alzheimer's), and Maggie Barbieri's ONCE UPON A LIE (retired cop, father, Alzheimer's). Both Cleave and Barbieri add quite a bit of wit and humor, mixed with murder. Highly recommend, this list.
Before I Go to Sleep did not come close to the quality of the above; even though he does offer a nice twist; however, takes too long to arrive.
I am so in love with the Author's website design!
Months after finishing this I am still wondering about the lives of the characters after the story ended. The "villain" of the book is truly creepy and psychologically abusive. I anticipated the resolution but loved the story anyway.
Me siento contusa con respecto al libro en su totalidad .
Por un lado , me enganchó desde el principio , en ningún momento me resultó aburrido y la trama en si me pareció bastante original (originalmente como Memento , al menos ) . Incluso en los últimos capítulos me tenia tan atrapada que no podía parar de leer hasta descubrir la resolución ...
Y sin embargo ,
Entiendo que todos los finales son decepcionantes , que los desarrollos siempre parecen prometer mas de lo que cumplen - pero , aún así , aun conociendo los defectos usuales del genero , aún así seguía esperando mucho mas que el final dado ; alguna sorpresa , un poco mas de comprensión hacia las acciones de cada uno - mas que nada , en el ultimo capitulo , donde el final se da en explicaciones apuradas y de modo casi totalmente carente de emoción real .
Vale la pena leerlo a pesar de sus fallas . Es entretenido y mucho mas profundo que la mayoría de los thillers den género . No es acción x acción ni suspenso x suspenso nada mas : los personajes son interesantes (aunque algunos bidimensionales o meros vehículos de la trama) y cada capitulo es emocionante .
What if you woke up every morning, confused and lost? What if the body you woke up in was not the body you remember going to sleep in? What if you were oblivious to the events of the last 30 years of your life? Memories are what define all of us as people. But when you wake up, tangled in lies, visions and fleeting images of memories that seem to dark and fiction to seem real, how do you make sense of that?
Welcome to the life of Christine Lucas, a middle aged woman suffering from extreme amnesia, who has no memory of what happened in her life for her past 30 years. When she sleeps, her memory melts away, like snow on a spring day.
The highly acclaimed, internationally best seller is truly a suspenseful, interesting and gripping book that will keep you entertained for all 356 pages of it. For lovers of Mysteries, this is a must read book, and I highly recommend it to everybody.
What if you woke up every morning, confused and lost, and unfamiliar with your own reflection in the mirror? What would you do when you wake up, tangled in lies, visions and fleeting images of memories that seem to dark and fiction to seem real?
Welcome to the life of Christine Lucas, a victim of an unsettling accident leaving her unable to retain memories for longer than 24 hours. When she sleeps, her memory melts away, like snow on a spring day. Keeping a diary of her daily events, she fits the pieces of her life puzzle together; she reaches a disturbing conclusion.
The Journal style format of this book creates a truly unique style of writing, one that truly pulls you into the struggles of Christine's daily life. The narration gives the reader a striking insight into the daily battle of discovering her identity. However, the style of daily journal entries can make the book slow at parts, but much like a roller coaster, it is all simply preparation for the plunge of excitement.
For lovers of mysteries and psychological thrillers, this is a must read book. However, I still highly recommend it to everybody. The sudden flashbacks, the distorted images and the faint impression that things are not at all what they seem. This book will make you rethink all of your unclear memories; it will keep you extremely entertained.
The ending feels hurried; a sentimental postscript to the meticulously plotted main event. But these are minor gripes. Before I Go to Sleep is an enjoyable and impressive first novel. Like the best of its thematic predecessors, it is also an affecting moral allegory: don't forget your loved ones. Or else.
The most unnerving aspect of Before I Go to Sleep is the way it is rooted in the domestic, the suburban, the trivial. Forget whizz-bang futurism: it proceeds from ordinary life in tiny, terrifying steps, and is all the better for it.
Watson's pitch-perfect writing propels the story to a frenzied climax that will haunt readers long after they've closed the cover on this remarkable book.

Dancing with the Local Stars 2013
Dancing with the Local Stars, an annual fundraiser for the Fort Vancouver National Trust, is at 5 today at the Hilton Vancouver Washington, 301 W. Sixth St.
Here are the stars who will dance:
• Rob Cloke, trainer, Northwest Personal Training.
• Jane Cook, social media strategist.
• Linda Glover, executive director, Gifts For Our Community/Divine Consign.
• Amit Gosalia, president/owner, Audiology Clinic Inc.
• Bart Hansen, member, Vancouver City Council.
• Jim Mains, owner, mainDISTINCTION.
• Dellan Redjou, owner, Smokey's Pizza.
• Robert Stewart, investment adviser, Columbia Credit Union.
• Shannon Walker, president, Southwest Washington Central Labor Council.
After months of rumba lessons, he's still trying to train his "two left feet."
But Vancouver's Jim Mains, owner of consulting firm mainDISTINCTION, didn't sign up for Dancing with the Local Stars to become the next Mikhail Baryshnikov or even the next Kevin Bacon. He just wanted to lend a hand, along with his sometimes-clumsy feet.
"The real competition is obviously raising the money," said Mains, one of nine notable Clark County residents set to take the stage and perform a special dance number to benefit the Fort Vancouver National Trust at its biggest fundraiser of the year.
Mains and the other competitors were each paired with a professional from the Arthur Murray Dance Studio to train for the big show, where they will perform a 90-second themed dance crafted with help from their instructor. The champion won't be the one with the smoothest moves, it will be the one who can bring in the most money for the Fort Vancouver National Trust, a organization dedicated to boosting the Fort Vancouver National Site.
The local stars on this year's lineup might not be famous on the level of those who have appeared on the fundraiser's television inspiration, ABC's "Dancing With The Stars." But in these parts, the amateur dancers are movers and shakers — now literally along with figuratively.
Despite their varying backgrounds — one is a pizza shop owner, another is an audiologist — the competitors all have one thing in common: a strong sense of civic support. Each pledged to raise at least $5,000 and the Trust's Senior Development Director Alishia Topper said most soared past that mark before the final week, easily putting the nonprofit on track to reach its goal of bringing in more than $100,000.
The stars will show off their skills tonight at 5 inside the Hilton Vancouver Washington. Tickets are $50 and include dinner. More details can be found at www.fortvan.org/dwtls.html.
Topper promises an outrageous show with lots of surprises, none of which she would spoil.
"There may be some fun twists that the audience would never expect to see inside the Hilton. Ever," she said.
She did agree to give a hint: "It may involve live animals."

PITTSBURGH - NOVEMBER 14: Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots celebrates scoring a touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers on November 14, 2010 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Chris McGrath/Getty Images)
Rob Gronkowski hasn't been in a game since Week 11 when he broke his forearm blocking for an extra point against the Colts. He's been in practice for the last couple of weeks. Now we might finally see him back in a game.Expect to see Rob Gronkowski suited up and playing Sunday in at least a limited role, according to a source. #PatriotsTalk— Tom E. Curran (@tomecurran) December 29, 2012This would line up with the recovery time that was reported. It was said that Gronkowski could return in 4-6 weeks. This would be the sixth week since his injury. For those worried about Gronkowski's health and whether or not this is a poor decision, know that Gronk will probably be limited. I think it will be important for him to at least see some game action after being off a football field for so long. I wouldn't want him to have to start getting used to playing again in a playoff game.So, what do you think? Would you prefer to see Gronk play against Miami in the last regular season game, or wait t...

Product description
It has been widely believed that psychology in Germany, faced with political antipathy and mass emigration of its leading minds, withered under national Socialism. Yet in The Professionalisation of Psychology in Nazi Germany Ulfried Geuter tells a radically different story of how German psychology, rather than disappearing, rapidly grew into a fully developed profession during the Third Reich. Geuter makes it clear that the rising demands of a modern industrial nation gearing up for a war afforded psychology with a unique opportunity in Nazi Germany: to transform itself from a marginal academic discipline into a state-sanctioned profession. This opportunity was mainly presented byWehrmacht, whose demand for psychological expertise led to increasing support for academic departments, and to the expansion and standardisation of training programmes - a process of professionalization which culminated in 1941 with the creation of a state examination for Diplom, a professional psychology degree. Although the Wehrmacht's demand for its services fell along with the fortunes of the Nazi regime, the professional base psychology has carved for itself remained for the duration of the war and to this date.

Review quote
"What is especially valuable is the author's consideration of ethical questions, such as the function of science in a system of political domination. The book provides important historical lessons for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty in the social sciences." H.L. Minton, Choice "Geuter's critical focus on the profession as culpable is novel and welcome." Carol Sherrard, The Times Higher Education Supplement "...sensibly abridged, smoothly translated, and egregiously priced...The bibliography contains an exhaustive list of published primary and secondary sources as well as a wide range of archival sources. As such, this book is a sterling example of the type of new scholarship from both sides of the Atlantic on the history of modern German society under National Socialism and in particular the history of the professions in modern Germany." Geoffrey Cocks, Psychoanalytic Books: A Quarterly Journal of Reviews "This book, translated from earlier German editions...traces in detail the process whereby psychology was transformed from a highly academic science into a civilservice profession as a result of militarization...Geuter argues that authorities embraced psychology mainly for practical reasons, as a source of useful techniques...The great strength of this study is that it reconstructs the professional milieu of German psychology on the basis of exhaustive archival research and thus provides unprecedented detail on the activities of a community of scientists as they adapted to the demands of powerful political forces." James H. Capshew, ISIS.

A refrigerator having a forward projecting dispenser that extends forward a front panel of the door. The door has an outer door pan with an outer door cavity and an inner liner having an inner liner cavity. An ice chute may be placed through both the inner liner cavity and the outer door cavity to move ice to the forward projecting dispenser. The dispenser may have a housing that positions a control panel and water outlet forward the front panel. The dispenser may extend to the door handle of the refrigerator or beyond the handle. The distance the dispenser extends forward the front panel of the door is minimized using a slight diagonal rear side of the dispenser housing.

The present invention relates generally to refrigerators and more particularly to ice and water dispensers located on the outer surfaces of the doors of refrigerators. As is well known, a refrigerator may be provided with an ice dispenser and a water dispenser. Such dispensers typically are mounted in a front panel of a refrigerator door. In a side-by-side refrigerator, the dispenser generally is located in the freezer compartment door. Each dispenser typically has a lever, actuator button, or actuator pad disposed at the rear most surface of the housing into which a glass or cup could be inserted for filling. A glass may be pressed against the actuary button, pad, or lever, thus activating the dispensing of water, or ice cubes, as desired.
Typically, the dispenser has a cavity that is inset into a door of the refrigerator. The inset cavity of the dispenser takes up valuable storage space within the inner compartment. This storage space is further compromised when an actuator and other circuitry is located at the rear side of the dispenser cavity.
Additionally, dispensers located within a door compartment have a cavity which receives only limited size beverage containers. For example, a typical water and ice dispenser can receiver a beverage glass that holds 12-16 ounces of fluids but not a thermos, cooler, or large capacity beverage glass such as a 48-ounce or 64-ounce cup.
Accordingly, a primary objective of the present invention is the provision of an ice and water dispenser that allows for increased storage capacity behind the ice and water dispenser.
Another objective of the present invention is the provision of an ice and water dispenser that accommodates over-sized cups, water bottles, pitchers, thermoses, coolers, etc.
These and other objectives will become apparent from the following specification and claims.
The present invention is directed towards a refrigerator with a forward projecting dispenser attached to the front panel of a refrigerator door. In general, the door of the invention includes an outer door pan, an inner door liner, preferably thermal formed, an ice chute through the door, and a dispenser attached to the door engaging the ice chute. The refrigerator door of the present invention has an outer door cavity and an inner liner cavity.
One feature of the present invention is an ice chute that is in both the liner cavity and the outer door cavity. This positioning of the ice chute permits the dispenser to be placed forward the front panel of the door to receiving ice from the ice chute.
A further feature of the present invention is a more efficient utilization of storage space upon the inner liner. The forward projecting dispenser makes unnecessary a deep dispenser cavity in both the outer door and the inner liner which necessitates a deep inner liner cavity to accommodate the dispenser protruding into the freezer door.
A further feature of the invention is the ability to permit oversized cups, water bottles, pitchers, coolers, thermoses, etc. being filled more easily as they do not need to fit within a cavity protruding into the refrigerator door. One problem typically encountered with filling oversized containers is a drip tray interfering with the positioning of the oversized container underneath the ice and/or water dispenser. Therefore, a feature of the present invention is a compressible drip pan adjacent the front panel of the refrigerator door or removable from the front panel. Additionally, the drip tray may be independent the dispenser and attached by a magnet or other attachment means which may be moved when oversize containers are being filled.
Additional objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments when taken in conjunction with the drawings wherein like reference numerals refer to corresponding parts in the several views.
The present invention will be described as it applies to its preferred embodiment. It is not intended that the present invention be limited to the preferred embodiment. It is intended that the invention cover all modifications and alternatives that may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention.
With reference to
Dispenser 16 may utilize ice and/or water selection buttons 28 and an actuator 29. The user may select water and/or the type of ice to be dispensed such as ice cubes or crushed ice using buttons 28. The user selects and dispenses ice and water by pressing actuator button 29 that actuates delivery of ice through the ice chute 20 and/or water through water tube 34.
It should be noted that the dispenser 16 could also be found in other types of refrigerators, other than those of side-by-side construction, and thus the dispenser of the present invention, as will hereinafter be described in greater detail, can similarly be used in both refrigerators of side-by-side design, as well as other designs.
The refrigerator 10 has handles 26 extending outward. The dispenser 16 extends outward from the door 14. As shown in
With reference to
As seen in
In general, the doors, 12, 14 include an outer door pan 30 and an inner liner 38. The outer door pan 30 is formed of sheet metal and includes a front panel portion 46. The sheet metal is bent so as to form a top, bottom and opposing side wall portions 48. Typically, the piece of sheet metal is further bent to define a plurality of flange portions (not shown). The inner door liner 38 is thermal formed but could also be injection molded. In any event, inner door liner 38 includes a portion which defines the inner liner cavity. The inner liner 38 attaches to the outer door pan 30 typically at the plurality of flange portions. Insulation foam is then filled into the void defined by the outer door cavity 50 and the inner liner cavity 44.
As seen in
As further seen in
As seen in
The prior art, as seen in
Based on the above, it should be readily recognized that the forward projecting dispenser 16 provides an arrangement for dispensing ice and water that enables a door to include additional internal storage space and create the potential for filling oversized containers more readily than the prior art. In any event, although described with respect to the preferred embodiment of the invention, it should be readily apparent that various changes and/or modifications can be made to the invention without departing from the spirit thereof. In general, the invention is only intended to be limited by the scope of the following claims.

VIENNA, Austria, Aug. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Intercell AG (VSE: ICLL) today announced that its collaborator Merck & Co., Inc. has initiated a Phase II clinical trial of V710, an investigational vaccine for the prevention of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections. This randomized double blind, placebo controlled study aims to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine candidate in patients with end-stage kidney disease on hemodialysis. This trial start follows the initiation of a separate Phase II trial in December 2007.
Gerd Zettlmeissl, CEO of Intercell, commented "We are very pleased that our strategic partner Merck has chosen to initiate a further Phase II clinical trial. We look forward to continued progress of the program building on clinical data obtained so far."
The S. aureus vaccine candidate is based on a conserved protein antigen discovered by Intercell and licensed to Merck & Co., Inc. in 2004 on an exclusive worldwide basis. Merck is responsible for clinical development, manufacturing and marketing. Intercell is eligible to receive milestone payments and royalties on future net sales. In Phase I clinical trials the S. aureus candidate vaccine was shown to be immunogenic and generally well tolerated.
Hospital-acquired Infections
Hospital-acquired infections caused by bacteria are one of the major causes of death and serious illness. Intercell has embarked on a large scale, comprehensive and multi-target antigen identification program to contribute to vaccine efforts in this field. Besides Merck's S. aureus vaccine, based on an antigen identified by Intercell, Intercell is developing a vaccine against hospital-acquired infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Phase II/III trial is expected to be initiated in 2008) and a Pneumococcus vaccine (Phase I trials planned for end 2008). Furthermore Intercell has ongoing pre-clinical programs for Enterococcus and Klebsiella vaccine discovery.

Hero Honda Passion Pro Designing
The bike scores over all the bike in the segment in looking. No doubt, the designers did a great job to give it a sporty appearance. Let's talk about its body colours. Most of the external body parts coloured in body colour like rear view mirrors, rear grab rail, graphics, front mudguard and the cowl. While windshield and leg guard are in black. Than the silencer is in black with black heat shield. Overall, we can say that the female is mostly coloured in black even the lower part of the front suspension.
The front cowl has nice design that houses trapezoidal multi reflector while other lights are multi reflector. The dashboard is nothing new. It is having analouge technology that control speedometer and fuel gauge. The five spoke alloy wheels are wonderful. If the alloy wheels left, it will damage the appearance of the female.
The engineers of the company, pay utmost attention on the comfort issue. Both the rider and pillion enjoy good seating arrangements. For the pillion rider, rear grab bar, foot rest and foot-peg is there. The seat for the pillion is also comfortable with wide size and little height from the riders's one. The tank size is remained low to offer the rider better grip on handle bars and brakes. Overall, seating posture will be nice from every angle.

Hero Honda Passion PRO Review
If you are a good rider then you know the that technical specifications which are used in Hero Moto Corp bikes are good. My brother is using the Hero Passion Pro bike, which is giving good performance as well as great fuel efficiency. One day while sitting alone in my house I decide to take a ride of the Passion Pro and I took the bike and went for a long drive and was seriously surprised by the performance of the bike. I drove the bike at least 2 hours a day and I enjoyed it a lot but some of the cons I noticed in the bike are that on the higher speeds, the bike did not get the power I expe...

Nice to see you managed to balance the new doctrines and release them.
Welcome to Cross of Iron, a Company of Heroes modification that aims for a better gameplay experience without making significant changes to the original CoH gameplay.
Cross of Iron 1.20 adds a third column of doctrines as well as some new units.
Posted by Captain828 on May 8th, 2011
The much expected Cross of Iron 1.20 is here and brings with it expanded doctrines for all the factions in CoH as well as some new units.
Since I've already covered most of the new units in this version of Cross of Iron in a previous news post, I'll concentrate on presenting the new doctrine abilities.
All twelve doctrines have now received a third column and some of them have been rebalanced as well, with some old abilities being moved from one column to another and even had their Command Point cost changed to better integrate the new options.
New US Army Commander Abilities:
Infantry Company: Anti-personnel Mines, Bofors 40mm Emplacement, Sherman 105mm
Airborne Company: .50CAL MG Nest Emplacement, 75mm Pack Howitzer Paradrop, M36 TD Battle Group
Armour Company: Heavy Engineers, Sherman 'Jumbo', M36b1 Tank Destroyer
New British Commonwealth Commander Abilities:
Royal Artillery Support: Canadian Infantry, Counter Battery, M10 'Achilles' Tank Destroyer
Glider-borne Support: Typhoon Air Recon, Typhoon Rocket Strike, Glider-dropped 6pdr AT Gun
Royal Engineers Support: Flamethrower Sappers, M3 T48 TD, Panther 'Cuckoo' Support
New Wehrmacht Commander Abilities:
Defensive Doctrine: Gebirgsjager Mountain Troops, Jagdpanzer IV L/48 TD, Off-map Kampfgruppe
Blitzkrieg Doctrine: Schwimmwagen, FW190 Strafe, Wespe 105mm Self-propelled Artillery
Terror Doctrine: Incendiary Traps, 75mm LeIG 18 Infantry Gun, Ostfront Veterans
New Waffen-SS Commander Abilities:
Scorched Earth Tactics: Panzer IV Munitions, SdKfz 251/16 Flamethrower HT, LeFH 18 105mm Howitzer
Luftwaffe Tactics: Butterfly Bombs, Fallschirmjager Command Post, Ju-87 Stuka Strike
Tank Destroyer Tactics: SdKfz 251/7 Pioneer HT, SdKfz 250/8 Heavy HT, Grille M Assault Gun
Nice to see you managed to balance the new doctrines and release them.
非常好 被首页的自行火炮吸引而来
Google Translate: "Very well be attracted to the home page self-propelled artillery" Probably means I'm liking the tech tree of the self-propelled artillery.
You guys shouldn't be marking down some one else's comment because its not in English.
Racist people would.
The **** are people marking that guy down for? It was a complement!
Nice! I was waiting for this update before trying out the mod.
What a pleasant surprise :). Downloading now...
agreed, I recently downloaded 1.10.1 so seeing this makes me happy.
I really hate the balance, how can a 88 shell bounce off a sherman 3 times!?!?!?!!? This mod is really unbalanced towards the germans!
First off, this is something that applies to all of the guns in CoH not just the Flak.
Secondly, this is hardly something that can be properly fixed since this is mostly an issue of how CoH calculates those shots.
Also, I've tried 'realistic' CoH mods and still experienced these issues at times.
If you really want realistic shots, with accurate penetration data and falloff, playing Men of War is your best bet.
Yes you can make it so it bounces less often! What are u talking about: "this is hardly something that can be properly fixed since this is mostly an issue of how CoH calculates those shots" You can change how CoH calculates the shots. Use Corsix Mod Studio (which this and all CoH mods use) and change the penetration values of the 88 against different units.
Please dont talk about stuff u know nothing of and confuse ppl.
Great update. We covered it here Modsentry.com Looking forward to further updates!

Thank you guys. This is a great mod like most of the other CoH mods are. But I would like to suggest CoI development team to increase the pop Cap, playing the game with 3 engineer sguads, 2 MG nests and 2 tanks really doesn't help the fun.
I agree completely. Is there a way to increase the population for the mod, even if we have to do it ourselves?
I like the new Canadian Riflemen, really helps if you're playing heavy arty support, they have better mobility than the standard british units and better weapons making them good for taking territory. I also like what's been done to the british tanks.
this is most def something id try IF i had a modern computer
Is tank combat more realistic in Cross of Iron?
Unfortunately the 1.10-1.20 Update is busted and has been removed.
So if you've by any chance used that instead of the 1.20 full release then please download and install the full release instead.
In other news, a new update will be posted soon, fixing the bugs that were reported so far.
heven't played, dowloaded? yes. But you have to capture tanks that should be great. only with overrunn on tanks, your infantry killing the tank crew(idea from men of war).
Hi all, I've installed this new version and I like it ! :D When there will be the next one ? Any Ideas ? thx again ;)
