I am using the YD Network-wide options plugin and have set my "Master" site permalinks to use the /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/ structure.
My "slave" sites inherit the permalink setting, but when I click the first default post, I receive a 404 error. If I go into the permalink settings of the "slave" site and simply click the "Save changes" button (with /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/ already selected), the 404 error issue goes away.
If I set my master to use this permalink structure: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ I don't get the 404 error.
I don't want my users to have to mess with permalink settings, and I'd rather not include /%day%/ in the URL.

They got in the water without me even asking. I don't get surprised often and at that moment, they won me over. We trekked through some muddy terrain, but with Alanna & Shmuel, anything goes. They cleaned off their shoes and then we got to business. Those are the type of people I love to spend an evening with.

Several innovative programmes have been planned for the campaign. A key highlight is the novel Great Audio Experience, the first-of-its-kind in Singapore, held to commemorate World No Tobacco Day 2010.
Singapore (Vocus), May 30, 2010 -- Fewer Secondary one to four youths in Singapore are lighting up. Latest statistics from the Students' Health Survey (SHS) 2009 signal a downward trend in youth smoking, with the proportion of youth who had ever tried smoking, including one or two puffs, declining from 26% in 2000 to 19% in 2006 and 16% last year.
The SHS, which surveyed about 3,000 Secondary one to four students in Singapore between July to November 2009, also recorded a decline in the percentage of youths who had smoked at least one day in the last 30 days from 9% in 2006 to 6% in 2009. 39% of youths however, still underestimated the addictive nature of smoking and believed that they could quit any time.
Whilst smoking prevalence has decreased, the intention to quit among those who smoked cut a worrying figure, as 58% of lower level students and 53% of upper level students who smoked revealed that they had no intention to quit smoking.
Key Influencers in Smoking Behaviour
Social influencers play a part in a youth's uptake of smoking, with statistics clearly indicating that youths who had either a parent, sibling or friend who smoked, were more likely to pick up the habit. More than 50% of smokers had at least one parent who smoked. Similarly, 38% of smokers had at least one sibling who smoked and 90% had at least one close friend who smoked.

Suspicious packages near government center turn out to be luggage
NAPLES - After responding to a report of "suspicious packages" near the North Collier Government Center on Monday, the Collier Sheriff's bomb squad found little but baggage.
The sheriff's deputies and the bomb squad arrived near the intersection of Orange Blossom Drive and Yarberry Road, a few hundred feet from the government center, after someone found two carry-on luggage bags with "no identifiable markings," said sheriff's spokeswoman Kristi Lester.
Deputies closed down part of Orange Blossom Road, but did not evacuate the government center or the adjacent county library.
After assessing the packages, Lester said, the bomb squad determined the package held "personal property," not harmful materials.
From earlier
A section of Orange Blossom Drive is closed to traffic as the Collier County Sheriff's Office bomb squad responds to suspicious packages near the North Collier Government Center.
Someone found two suitcases and another package near the intersection of Orange Blossom Drive and Yarberry Road, several hundred feet from the government center, said Mark Bush, a captain with North Naples Fire Rescue. Unable to identify the owners, they called the Sheriff's Office, he said.
Traffic is closed to drivers on Orange Blossom from the government center to Goodlette-Frank Road, said Kristi Lester.
Neither the government center or the adjacent library have been evacuated.

Hypertension/High Blood Pressure Health Center
Causes of Secondary Hypertension
In this article
In about 10% of people, high blood pressure is caused by another disease. If that is the case, it is called secondary hypertension. In such cases, when the root cause is treated, blood pressure usually returns to normal or is significantly lowered. These causes include the following conditions:
- Chronic kidney disease
- Sleep apnea
- Tumors or other diseases of the adrenal gland
- Coarctation of the aorta -- A narrowing of the aorta that you are born with that can cause high blood pressure in the arms
- Pregnancy
- Use of birth control pills
- Alcohol addiction
- Thyroid dysfunction
In the other 90% of cases, the cause of high blood pressure is not known (primary hypertension). Although the specific cause is unknown, certain factors are recognized as contributing to high blood pressure.

Read the Taking High Blood Pressure Drugs Properly article > >
Factors That Can't Be Changed
- Age: The older you get, the greater the likelihood that you will develop high blood pressure, especially systolic, as your arteries get stiffer. This is largely due to arteriosclerosis, or "hardening of the arteries."
- Race: African-Americans have high blood pressure more often than whites. They develop high blood pressure at a younger age and develop more severe complications sooner.
- Family history (heredity): The tendency to have high blood pressure appears to run in families.
- Gender: Generally men have a greater likelihood of developing high blood pressure than women. This likelihood varies according to age and among various ethnic groups.

The cinematic adaptation of Orson Scott Card's award-winning 1985 sci-fi novel, Ender's Game, is at last coming together. X-Men Origins: Wolverine helmer Gavin Hood is writing and directing the flick, which will be produced by the ubiquitous duo of Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Hawaii Five-0, Fringe, Star Trek, etc.).
Asa Butterfield was previously revealed to be the frontrunner to portray Andrew "Ender" Wiggin in the film; now we have confirmation that he has officially landed the role, along with news that a legendary veteran of blockbuster sci-fi fare is among those being eyed to play an important supporting part in the Ender's Game adaptation.
Hyrum Graff is essentially a grizzled veteran warrior and hard-edged father-figure to the students of the Battle Academy, which includes young Ender. Hence why Viggo Mortensen was previously approached to tackle the role – and now, Harrison Ford is said to be the top choice in a group of "veteran thesps" being considered to handle the part.
This particular Ender's Game role would not only fit Ford like a glove (see: just about every role he's played over the past decade); the Star Wars/Indiana Jones icon's involvement would also help to attract the interest of moviegoers who are not at all familiar with Card's source material. Of course, the trick is getting the actor onboard.
Even if a deal with Ford fails to materialize, though, there are still numerous other elder actors (people like Peter Coyote and Stephen Lang immediately spring to mind) who have the screen presence to easily pull off the role.
While Butterfield should more than suffice as Ender (see: his turn in Martin Scorsese's Hugo for proof), it remains to be seen how well Hood can translate the remainder of Card's novel into film form. The original Ender's Game storyline is quite dark and often psychologically-disturbing; not to mention, it features some brief (albeit graphic) bits of child-on-child violence and a good deal of underage nudity. Basically, it's a narrative that lends itself to an R-Rated adaptation, but one that could also be PG-13 and still pack the same punch (if done correctly).
It's also not fair to judge Hood's directorial abilities solely by his work on the first Wolverine movie, given that (it's generally acknowledged) he was only partly responsible for how that lackluster flick turned out. Given that he has also previously helmed gritty crime dramas like A Reasonable Man and the adolescent-centric Oscar-winning film Tsotsi, Hood does have experience handling dark tales about dangerous and troubled youths. That bodes well, as far as his qualifications to handle Ender's Game go.
Ender's Game is scheduled for theatrical release in the U.S. on March 15th, 2013.

I met Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzeneggar, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis when BSC brought Planet Hollywood public.
I was on the otc desk at the time as an assitant trader.
As each Celeb walked by, I stuck out my hand.
Arnold: more of a low-five, side slap.
Stallone: Dead fish and seemed to be taken aback by the scene on the trading desk -
Demi - no shake.
Willis. firm handshake -left hand on shoulder. Sincere .
Willis was the cooest out of the bunch. He stayed for a bit and asked us what it was like to trade. Seems he was a regular guy at heart and missed comraderie...
- Met Barry Pepper a few years later. Dead fish.
Whatever it measn - I don't know

I've never met a chick with a firm handshake.....but I guess that's a good thing

A weak handshake to me means that the person is probably embarrassed or nervous.

I've shaken a thousand hands in my life, maybe more, but the one that stood out was Mark Gastineau backstage at a Rod Stewart concert. I did my best with a firm handshake and wished him a good season, but swear his fingers alone wrapped around my hands a few times. I was totally intimidated by his handshake.
The funniest handshake moment was with Gerry Cooney. We shook hands and posed for a photo. I then suggested as a goof that we strike the boxer pose for the photo, at which time someone in our group yelled that Cooney should lay down on the floor to be a realistic pose. Even Cooney laughed hard.
I like a good firm handshake with the free hand on the other arm.
If I know someone well. I like the shoulder bump/semi-hug pat on the back.
If someone gives me a weak handshake, I put my free hand on our hands, I suppose to encourage some trust and easieness.
Posted October 12 2011 - 2:22 PM
Similar to what others think, a weak handshake to me means either they are insincere and/or they have low self-esteem/confidence. Or they're literally a homo. I think that's how they do it... being effeminate and shaking hands like a lady.
On the other side of it, I have a fishing buddy that just about crushes my hand before and after each fishing outing. A bit overdone. It's almost as bad as getting a limp shake imo.
A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals.

Museum of Anthropology
The museum is a good place to start your time in Mexico, offering a background on the indigenous peoples of the country, their histories and displaying a massive collection of artifacts.
There are LOTS of things to see, but unless you have a very keen interest in clay pots, the highlights are without a doubt the Aztec calendar, the massive native head-dress and the gigantic Olmec heads.
A good way to kill a few hours. We were there on a school day so we had to contend with lots of good natured Mexican school kids, who seemed to take a greater interest in us than the artifacts on display. We happily posed with them for a couple of photos and had a great day out.
Museo Nacional de Antropología
Mexico is home to many of the greatest cultures in the Americas. The Toltecs, Aztecs, Mayans, and many others were building grand cities at the time of the Roman Empire. All of this comes together at the National Museum of Anthropology. It is regarded as one of the top museums in the world and gives you quick insight into the culture of Mexico. Entrance to the museum costs 38 pesos in 2005.
Inside the museum is an open courtyard containing a fountain designed by Chávez Morado. Rooms go around three sides on with two levels. The most popular level are the ground-floor rooms as they are devoted to pre-Hispanic Mexico and the archaeological sites. Each room represents a different culture in Mexico. These rooms include dioramas of Mexico City when the Spaniards arrived, reproductions of part of a pyramid at Teotihuacán, and a full sized reproduction of the King Pakal tomb discovered in Palenque. The Aztec calendar stone occupies a proud place in Sala Mexica.
Upstairs is devoted to the way people throughout Mexico live today. It is comprised of straw-covered huts, recordings of songs and dances, crafts, clothing, and lifelike models of village activities.

Now, this is what I call a good museum. Interesting and wll organised. This museum is dedicated to the history of Mexico and people who lived on this teritory in the past.
When you enter the museum, you come to inner court from where you go to differnet rooms, each one hosting exhibition of a differnet period in Mexicos histoty. Starting on left you travel from prehistorical times, through great indian civilizations lke Mayan and Aztec to modern Mexico.

Museo de Antropología
The Antropología museum is one of the greatests museums in Mexico city. It has several rooms, starting from the beginnings of the Prehispanic cultures and following with the Maya and Aztec cultures.
If you are really willing to discover more about these great cultures, visiting the whole museum could take around 3-4 hours

Anthropology Museum
The National Museum of Anthropology is a MUST.
Wear your snikers and stroll all the museum. It's renovation kept closed a lot of rooms, but they're finally open!
Don't miss the exhibiitons on the second floor. They include exhibitions on modern indigenous groups that inhabit Mexico. My niece (7yrs) loved it and actually learned a lot about these cultures that (unbelievably) are not included in basic education programs.
Outside the Museum, just before entering, the Voladores de Papantla are a delightful spectacle.
Be aware that many pieces might be on loan, and some exhibits might be under renovation.
The Aztec exhibit is missing many pieces. And the Oaxaca, Mayas de las monta?as y Mayas de la planicie y la selva, exhibits were still closed when I visited this February 2004.
The Museum offers Guided tours Tue-Sat from 9:30 to 17:30 hrs, in spanish, english and french.

Museo de Antropología, simply impressive. (2)
The ticket office, and the entrance to the museum proper, is by the huge glass doors to the right.
You can buy tickets here, too, for the regular guided tours free in Spanish, or for a fee in English, French or German.
They're very rushed, but do get you round the whole thing with some form of explanation: labelling inside is rather hit-and-miss, and often in Spanish only.
Instead of a real guide, you can also rent an English audio guides to carry around with you.
Every hall has at least one outstanding feature, but if you have limited time, the Aztec and the Maya rooms are the highlights: what else you see should depend on what area of the country you plan to head on to.
The first floor is given over to the ethnography collections devoted to the life and culture of the various indigenous groups today: stairs lead up from each side.
Downstairs, behind the hall devoted to the cultures of the north and west, is a very welcome restaurant.
The full tour of the 23 rooms museum starts on the right-hand side with three introductory rooms explaining what anthropology is, the nature of and relationship between the chief Mesoamerican cultures, and the region's pre-history. Skip or skim them if you're in a hurry.
They're followed on the right-hand side by halls devoted to the pre-Classic, Teotihuacan and Toltec cultures.
At the far end is the vast Mexica (Aztec) room, followed around the left wing by Oaxaca (Mixtec and Zapotec), Gulf of Mexico (Olmec), Maya and the cultures of the north and west.
If you have time to see only one museum in Mexico City, this is the one to choose!
Don't miss it!
Museo de Antropología, simply impressive. (1)
Museo de Antropología.
Museo Nacional de Antropología e Historia.
(National Museum of Anthropology and History).
Designed in 1963 by Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, helped by Ricardo de Robina, Jorge Campuzano and Rafael Mijares, its architecture alone is magnificent in an area of 79,700 square metre.
Opened in 1964, by President Adolfo López Mateos, the exhibition halls surround a patio with a small pond and a vast square concrete umbrella supported by a single slender pillar around which splashes an artificial cascade.
The halls are ringed by gardens, many of which contain outdoor exhibits.
Some of the most fascinating exhibits are the Aztec calendar stone, giant stone Olmec heads from the jungles of Tabasco, treasures recovered from a sacred Maya well, a replica of a Maya ruler's tomb from Palenque and ethnological displays of rural Mexican life as it is still lived today.
It also has a very good model of the location and layout of Tenochtitlan, which puts present-day Mexico City in perspective.
The entrance from Reforma is marked by a colossal statue of the rain god Tláloc, the story goes that its move here from its original home in the east of the city was accompanied by furious downpours in the midst of a drought.
As you come into the entrance hall there's a shop selling postcards, souvenirs, books in several languages on Mexican culture, archeology and history, and detailed guides to the museum, which provide full descriptions of most of the important pieces.
Straight ahead is a small circular space with temporary exhibitions, usually devoted to the latest developments in archeology and often very interesting.
More of these lie to the right, beyond Rufino Tamayo's mural of a battling jaguar and serpent, where you'll also find the library and museum offices as well as the small 'Sala de Orientación', which presents an audiovisual overview of the major ancient Mexican cultures.

The Anthropology Museum: Museo de Antropologia
El Museo Nacional de Antropologia
Not only is this museum an excellent place to learn about the extremely diverse cultures of ancient Mexico, but it's an architectural gem too.
Every time I'm in the DF I make time to visit and I never leave without some new bit of fascinating information.
Signage is in both Spanish and English.

Museo Nacional de Antropologia
The impressive "Museo Nacional de Antropologia" is a must see of not only the city, but Mexico itself. It is one of the best museums about the Mexican and Meso-American civilizations. I ventured through its endless exhibitions for half a day. If you feel burned out, then head outside for a brake. If hunger calls, then head to the cafeteria, which offers delicious food.
Note: the picture is of the central fountain in the compounds. It pales in comparison to the thousands of treasures inside the halls.

Museo de Antropologia
El Museo Nacional de Antropologia is located in the Bosque de Chapultepec.
Best is to take the metro till the station of Chapultepec, and then you can walk through this big park, which this Bosque de Chapultepec is. This museum is very, very big. On the lower floor there are 12 exhibition halls, which show the different regions of Mexico, and one especially for the Maya culture; on the upper level you can see a collection of clothing, housings, and utensils of the 56 still existing local cultures in Mexico. You can easily spend a day in this really interesting museum. It is really interesting to visit this museum before you start exploring the different archeologically sites all across Mexico.
Museo de Antropologia: you...
Museo de Antropologia: you can visit all the cultures that have lived in Mexico, their evolution. You cand spend several days if you want to have an exhaustive visit.
The National Museum of...
The National Museum of Anthropology will be of great interest to anyone who anyone who is interested in the pre-Colombian indian cultures of Mexico. This headdress is a replica of the one worn by the Aztec emporer Moctezuma. It is made of quetzal feathers. The original headdress is in a museum in Europe. This museum also has the Aztec calendar stone.
In front of the museum is an indian statue of Tlaloc, god of rain. It is said that when the statue was placed in front of the museum, it rained for days and days in Mexico City.
Museo Nacional de Antropologia
By far the best museum in Mexico City and one of the best displays of New world antiquities. This museum displays remants from all of Mexico's varied pre-Colombian civilizations from Aztec to Maya.

Release Date:
March 18, 2008
Producer Norman Granz oversaw two Porgy & Bess projects. The first involved Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, and came together during the autumn of 1957 with brassy big band and lush orchestral arrangements by Russ Garcia. This is the classic Verve Porgy & Bess, and it's been reissued many, many times. The second, recorded during the spring and summer of 1976 and issued by RCA, brought Ray Charles together with versatile British vocalist Cleo Laine, backed by an orchestra under the direction of Frank DeVol. A comparison of these two realizations bears fascinating fruit, particularly when the medleys of street vendors are played back to back. Those peasant songs, used in real life to purvey honey, strawberries, and crabs, were gathered and notated by George Gershwin and novelist Du Bose Heyward in 1934 during a visit to Folly Island, a small barrier island ten miles south of Charleston, SC, known today as Folly Beach. As Charleston Harbor had been one of the major ports during the importation of slaves from Africa, the waterfront was mostly populated by Gullahs, a reconstituted community that retained and preserved its ancestral cultures and languages to unusual degrees. Gershwin, who even learned to chant with the Gullah, absorbed the tonalities of the street cries he heard and wove them -- along with all of the other impressions stored within his sensitive mind -- into the fabric of his opera. What's really great about the Ella and Louis version is Ella, who handles each aria with disarming delicacy, clarion intensity, or usually a blend of both. Her take on "Buzzard Song" (sung 19 years later by Ray Charles) is a thrilling example of this woman's intrinsic theatrical genius. Pops sounds like he really savored each duet, and his trumpet work -- not a whole lot of it, because this is not a trumpeter's opera -- is characteristically good as gold. This marvelous album stands quite well on its own, but will sound best when matched with the Ray Charles/Cleo Laine version, especially the songs of the Crab Man, of Peter the Honey Man, and his wife, Lily the Strawberry Woman. ~ arwulf arwulf, Rovi

Article: Later Outcomes and Alpha/Beta Estimate From Hypofractionated Conformal Three-Dimensional Radiotherapy Versus Standard Fractionation for Localized Prostate Cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Now that the follow-up time has exceeded 5 years, an estimate of the α/β ratio can be presented. The additional late outcomes in patients treated with three-dimensional conformal external beam radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer using a hypofractionated vs. a standard fractionation regimen are reported from this prospective nonrandomized contemporary comparison. A total of 114 nonrandomized patients chose hypofractionation delivered in 20 fractions of 3 Gy or 3.15 Gy (mean 3.06 Gy) for localized prostate cancer within a median overall time of 32 days (range, 29-49) using four fractions weekly. A total of 160 comparable patients were contemporarily treated within a median of 55 days (range 49-66). The median follow-up was 66 months (range, 24-95) for the hypofractionated arm and 63 months (range, 36-92) for the standard arm. The percentage of patients in the low-, medium-, and high-risk groups was 36%, 46%, and 18% in the hypofractionated arm and 44%, 50%, and 6% in standard arm (2 Gy), respectively. The 5-year actuarial biochemical absence of disease (prostate-specific antigen nadir + 2 ng/mL) and disease-free survival rate was the same at 89% in both arms, making the α/β calculation unambiguous. The point ratio of α/β was 1.86 (95% confidence interval, 0.7-5.1 Gy). The 95% confidence interval was determined entirely by the binomial confidence limits in the numbers of patients. Rectal reactions of grade 3 and 4 occurred in 1 of 114 (hypofractionated) and 2 of 160 (standard) patients. The presented three-dimensional conformal regimen was acceptable, and the α/β value was 1.8, in agreement with other very recent low meta-analyses (reviewed in the "Discussion" section).International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics 04/2011; 82(3):1200-7.

Article: Late outcomes following hypofractionated conformal radiotherapy vs. standard fractionation for localized prostate cancer: a nonrandomized contemporary comparison.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To study retrospectively late complications and biochemical control in patients treated with three-dimensional conformal external-beam radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer administered using hypofractionation vs. a standard fractionation regimen. The hypofractionation regimen (Hypo) was designed to avoid more late rectal reactions and to be done in half as many treatment sessions. Eighty-nine nonrandomized patients chose Hypo delivered in 20 fractions of 3 Gy (n = 52) or 3.15 Gy (n = 37) for a median overall treatment time of 33 days. One hundred thirty comparable patients were contemporaneously treated with standard fractionation to a median dose of 78 Gy delivered over 55 days. The median follow-up time was 49 months (range, 24-73 months). The 5-year actuarial biochemical control rates were 96%, 84%, and 85% for low-, medium-, and high-risk disease in the Hypo group, respectively. The respective rates in the standard fractionation group were 98%, 84%, and 87%, with no statistical difference between the two groups. The rate of rectal Grade 2-4 complications was 5.5% in both treatment groups and of urinary Grade 2-4 complications was 5.6% in the Hypo and 3% in the standard group (p = 0.36). Similarly, there were no statistical differences in the rate of late complications between patients treated with 3 Gy/fraction vs. 3.15 Gy/fraction. Our preliminary results showed that the Hypo regimen is feasible and does not reduce biochemical control compared with standard fractionation. The incidence of late complications was not increased when the tumor normalized total doses at 2Gy/fraction was increased from 77.1 to 83.7 Gy in patients treated with either 3 or 3.15 Gy/fraction in the Hypo group, respectively.International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics 05/2009; 74(5):1441-6.

Article: Acute toxicity after hypofractionated conformal radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer: Nonrandomized contemporary comparison with standard fractionation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To prospectively study acute rectal and urinary reactions from three-dimensional conformal external beam radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer comparing two hypofractionation regimens with standard fractionation (standard). The hypofractionation regimens were designed to avoid more late reactions in the hypofractionation groups than in the standard group, with the advantage of one-half as many treatment sessions. A total of 56 nonrandomized patients chose hypofractionation delivered at 3 (n = 22) or 3.15 (n = 34) Gy/fraction, 4 d/wk, to a total dose of 60 or 63 Gy within 5 weeks. A total of 74 patients were contemporarily treated with standard fractionation at 2 Gy/fraction, 5 d/wk, to a total dose of 76 to 80 Gy. The differences within patients without complications were not statistically significant in the three groups. However, for acute complications of Grade 2 or worse, the Hypo3.15 group had significantly greater (p = 0.001) complication rates (50%) compared with the standard group (17%). The incidence of patients without acute rectal complications was significantly lower for the Hypo3.15 group compared with the Hypo3 and standard groups. The incidence of rectal Grade 2 or greater complications was correspondingly significantly greater for the Hypo3.15 group than for the Hypo3 and standard groups (p < 0.001). The incidence of patients with urinary complications was not significantly different among the three groups. Acute rectal reactions were more frequent and intense in the Hypo3.15 group than in the Hypo3 and standard groups. In our study, 60 Gy at 3 Gy/fraction within 5 weeks resulted in acute toxicity similar to that after standard fractionation.International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics 04/2008; 72(3):770-6.

Article: Acute radiation reactions in oral and pharyngeal mucosa: tolerable levels in altered fractionation schedules.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate whether a predictive estimate can be obtained for a 'tolerance level' of acute oral and pharyngeal mucosal reactions in patients receiving head and neck radiotherapy, using an objective set of dose and time data. Several dozen radiotherapy schedules for treating head and neck cancer have been reviewed, together with published estimates of whether they were tolerated or (in a number of schedules) not. Those closest to the borderline were given detailed analysis. Total doses and biologically effective doses (BED or ERD) were calculated for a range of starting times of cellular repopulation and rates of daily proliferation. Starting times of proliferation from 5 to 10 days and daily cellular doubling rates of 1-3 days were considered. The standard published form of BED with its linear overall time factor was used: BED=nd(1 + d/(alpha/beta) - Ln2(T - T(k))/alpha T(p) (see text for parameters). A clear progression from acceptable to intolerable mucosal reactions was found, which correlated with total biologically effective dose (BED in our published modeling), for all the head and neck cancer radiotherapy schedules available for study, when ranked into categories of 'intolerable' or 'tolerable'. A review of published mechanisms for mucosal reactions suggested that practical schedules used for treatment caused stimulated compensatory proliferation to start at about 7 days. The starting time of compensatory proliferation had little predictive value in our listing, so we chose the starting time of 7 days. Very short and very long daily doubling rates also had little reliability, so we suggest choosing a doubling time of 2.5 days as a datum. With these parameters a 'tolerance zone of uncertainty' could be identified which predicted acute-reaction acceptability or not of a schedule within a range of about 2-10 Gy in total BED. If concurrent chemoradiotherapy is used, our provisional suggestion is that this zone should be reduced by up to roughly 3-5 Gy10 in BED, with a request for further evidence. It is suggested that total BED should be used, as specified above. Parameters of alpha=0.35 Gy-(1), alpha/beta=10 Gy, Tk=7 days and Tp=2.5 days are suggested. The 'acute/ tolerance zone' then turns out to be 59-61 Gy10 for radiation-only treatments. Further information about the decrement caused by concurrent head-and-neck cancer chemoradiotherapy, possibly 3-5 Gy10, is required.Radiotherapy and Oncology 12/2003; 69(2):161-8.

Article: Treatment of breast abscesses with sonographically guided aspiration, irrigation, and instillation of antibiotics.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We studied the feasibility of treating breast abscesses with sonographically guided aspiration, irrigation, and local instillation of antibiotics without placing indwelling catheters. Seventy-three patients with breast abscesses were seen from 1995 to 2001. Aspiration and irrigation were performed under sonographic guidance. Repeated aspiration was performed when deemed necessary. One gram of cephradine was injected into 29 abscesses measuring more than 25 mm. Six patients refused further treatment after failure of the first aspiration and elected surgical drainage. Of the remaining 67 patients who completed treatment, 38 required one aspiration for cure, 18 required two aspirations, and eight required more than two aspirations. The treatment failed and surgical drainage was required in only three of the 67 patients completing treatment. Ninety-six percent of patients completing treatment were cured with this procedure. Local instillation of antibiotics is probably beneficial.American Journal of Roentgenology 11/2003; 181(4):1089-91. DOI:10.2214/ajr.181.4.1811089 · 2.74 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Using data collected for one series during 1987-1989 and data collected for another series during 1996, we sought to compare the frequency of and positive predictive value for carcinoma of the breast in nonpalpable, probably benign lesions that had been detected on and followed up with mammography. During 1996, mammography was performed in 18,435 women of whom 544 (3.0%) had lesions assigned to Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 3 for nonpalpable, probably benign lesions. The lesions in the women were assessed as BI-RADS category 3 after the patients had undergone a diagnostic study that included additional imaging, sonography, and a focused physical examination. Patients with BI-RADS category 3 lesions were recommended for mammographic surveillance. A minimum of 2 years of follow-up data was available for 511 patients, our study population. We compared the findings for our study population with those of the previous study. Ninety-seven percent of the follow-up mammograms showed stability or regression of the BI-RADS category 3 lesions. Fourteen patients (3%) had nonpalpable interval progression revealed on mammography and underwent biopsy. The breast cancer detection rate in category 3 lesions among the study population was 0.4% (2/511), which was 14% of the patients who had undergone biopsies because of interval progression of the lesions. The pathologic stage of the cancers in these two patients was T1b N0. Compared with the findings from the 1987-1989 study, the frequency of BI-RADS category 3 lesions has remained stable; patient compliance for follow-up has increased; and the positive predictive value of category 3 lesions for cancer has decreased from 1.7% to 0.4% (p = 0.04).American Journal of Roentgenology 10/2002; 179(3):691-5.

Article: Cesium-137 needle brachytherapy boosts after external beam irradiation for locally advanced carcinoma of the tongue and floor of the mouth.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A retrospective study was undertaken to compare local tumor control and complications of external beam radiation therapy with and without interstitial 137Cs needle brachytherapy boost doses. Two hundred one consecutive patients with locally advanced (T3-T4) cancer of the tongue and floor of the mouth treated with definitive radiotherapy by external beam irradiation with (n = 78) or without (n = 123) low-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy from 1974 to 1999 were analyzed retrospectively. External beam irradiation was administered with conventional fractionation in 105 patients and administered with accelerated hyperfractionation in 96 patients. The 8-year actuarial local control rates showed a trend toward improved results in the combined-treatment group as a whole and also when it was stratified into patients with base of tongue sites and those with oral tongue and floor of mouth sites. Cox regression analysis for local control showed that the only significant variable was overall treatment time. The use of brachytherapy boost doses was not a significant variable. The 8-year actuarial probability of Radiation Therapy Oncology Group and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Grades 3-5 late effects was 25% and 35% for patients with and without brachytherapy, respectively (p = not significant), although the crude incidence of mandibular radiation osteonecrosis was 10% and 1.6%, respectively (p =0.001).

Article: High-dose-rate brachytherapy at 14 Gy per hour to point A: preliminary results of a prospectively designed schedule for cancer of the cervix based on the linear-quadratic model[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to describe the results and complications of a prospectively designed high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy schedule for early-stage cancer of the cervix, at 14 Gy/h to point A, based on the linear-quadratic model and our clinical experience. We used a combination of brachytherapy and external beam pelvic and parametrial irradiation in 88 consecutively seen patients with stage IB1-IIB treated by irradiation alone (1995-1998). The modeled HDR schedule consisted of three insertions on three treatment days separated by 10 days, with six 7 Gy planned brachytherapy fractions to point A, at 14 Gy/h, two on each treatment day with an interfraction interval of 6 h, plus an 18 Gy external whole-pelvic dose followed by additional parametrial irradiation. The calculated biologically effective dose (BED) was 92 Gy10 for tumor and 110 Gy3 for the rectum, equivalent to 77 and 66 Gy in 2 Gy fractions, respectively. The median overall treatment time was 41 days. The actuarial 4-year central recurrence-free rate, pelvic control, and disease-free survival rate were 97%, 93%, and 88% for stages IB-IIA and 79%, 75%, and 75% for stage IIB. The actuarial 4-year late complication rate for grades 2-3 was 4.7% (scale 0-3). We conclude that preliminary results of this HDR brachytherapy schedule for early-stage disease at a median follow-up of 52 months are as effective as the previously used low dose rate (LDR) at 0.44 Gy/h at point A. They are also as effective as medium-dose-rate schedules (MDR) at 1.6-1.5 Gy/h at this institution and do not require a further increase in fractionation of intracavitary treatments or in the whole-pelvic external beam irradiation dose common to standard HDR schedules. In addition, more patients per machine can be treated per day compared with MDR. Longer follow-up is required for a complete assessment of late complications.International Journal of Gynecological Cancer 11/2001; 11(6):445-53.

Article: Accelerated hyperfractionated irradiation for advanced head and neck cancer: Effect of shortening the median treatment duration by 13 days[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Optimal treatment duration of altered fractionation schedules in head and neck cancer is still undefined. A retrospective study on local tumor control, survival, and complications of accelerated hyperfractionated irradiation in head and neck cancer was undertaken to investigate whether there was an advantage in further shortening overall time from 6.5 weeks. Four hundred nineteen consecutive male patients treated with radiation alone for cure 1987-1998 were analyzed. Patients with stage I, or treated also with brachytherapy implants or chemotherapy, were excluded. Treatment with accelerated hyperfractionation was performed twice daily, at a median of 1.6 Gy/fraction, to a total median dose of 68 Gy in 39 days. The patient population was divided into two groups: those with < or =39 days overall treatment time (group A, n = 227; median, 33 days) and those with >39 days (group B, n = 192; median, 46 days). Group A received a significant median tumor dose reduction of 7% compared with group B. The 7-year actuarial local control (LC) rates were 59% and 48% for groups A and B, respectively (p =.02). The actuarial LC rates for T1-2 patients were 79% and 74% at 7 years for groups A and B, respectively (p = NS). Similarly, for T3-4 patients, they were 47% and 35% (p =.02), respectively. The 7-year actuarial disease-free survival (DFS) rates for groups A and B were 39% and 26% (p =.01), respectively. For stage II patients, DFS was 62% and 60% at 7 years (p = NS) for groups A and B, respectively. And similarly, for stage III-IV patients, DFS was 33% and 20% (p =.04), respectively, at 7 years. LC and DFS rates at 7 years for T4 and stage IV patients, respectively, were significantly improved in group A. Cox regression analyses for LC showed that both T stage and overall time were significant prognostic factors. Similarly, UICC clinical stage and overall time were significant prognostic factors for DFS. There was no difference in acute morbidity between the two groups: 3% of patients in both groups required tube or parenteral feeding. The 7-year actuarial probability of RTOG/EORTC grades 3-5 late effects was 15% and 13%, respectively, for each group (p = NS). This study, with the limitations of a retrospective study, has shown a significant improvement in local tumor control and disease-free survival, in patients treated with shorter overall treatment times (median, 33 days) with an accelerated hyperfractionated irradiation schedule compared with those treated with a median duration of 46 days. No significant enhancement of acute reactions and late morbidity were observed with the shorter schedule.Head & Neck 09/2001; 23(8):661-8. DOI:10.1002/hed.1093 · 3.01 Impact Factor
Article: Advanced head and neck carcinoma in women: treatment outcomes may not improve with accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The authors undertook a retrospective study on local tumor control, survival, and complications of conventional irradiation compared with accelerated hyperfractionated irradiation in women with selected head and neck tumor sites. One hundred eight consecutive women who were treated with radiation alone for cure during 1974-1998 were analyzed. Patients were excluded who had T1 tumors of the vocal cord and those who were treated with brachytherapy implants. Fifty-nine patients were treated with conventional fractionation once daily (QD) during 1974-1998 with a median dose of 2.1 grays (Gy) per fraction up to a total median dose of 69 Gy in a median overall time of 54 days. Forty-nine patients were treated with accelerated hyperfractionation twice daily (BID) during 1987-1998 at a median dose of 1.6 Gy per fraction BID, with an interfraction interval of 4-6 hours, for a total median dose of 66 Gy in 35 days. Patients were not randomized into the QD group or the BID group. The 7-year actuarial local control (LC) rates for T1-T2 tumors in QD-treated and BID-treated patients were 79% and 87%, respectively (P = not significant [NS]). For T3-T4 tumors, the LC rates at 7 years were 59% and 56% for the QD and BID groups, respectively (P = NS). A Cox regression analysis for LC showed that the significant variables were T classification and overall time. Schedule (QD or BID), total dose, dose per fraction, and patient age were not significant variables. For the QD and BID groups, the 7-year actuarial cause specific survival rates for patients with Stage I-II disease were 100% and 65%, respectively (P = 0.004), and, for patients with Stages III-IVA,IVB disease, the rates were 39% and 56%, respectively (P = NS), respectively. Acute morbidity was higher with the BID schedule: In the BID group, 8% of patients required tube or parenteral feeding, and 0% of patients in the QD group required such feeding (P = 0.04). The 5-year actuarial probability of Grade 3-5 late effects (according to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group/European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer grading system) was 4% for the BID group and 0% for the QD group (P = NS). This study suggests that accelerated hyperfractionated irradiation for women with advanced carcinoma of the head and neck does not provide significantly better local tumor control or cause specific disease free survival compared with conventional fractionation. Women with these malignancies appear to have a better prognosis compared with men.Cancer 07/2001; 91(12):2353-60. DOI:10.1002/1097-0142(20010615)91:123.0.CO;2-# · 4.90 Impact Factor
Article: Improved results with accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy of advanced head and neck cancer.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A retrospective study on local tumor control, survival, and complications of conventional irradiation vs. accelerated hyperfractionated irradiation in patients with selected head and neck cancer sites was undertaken. A total of 1,007 consecutive patients treated with radiation alone for cure from 1974-1997 were analyzed. Excluded were female patients, patients with T1 stage of the vocal cord, and patients also treated with brachytherapy implants. There were 637 patients treated with conventional fractionation once daily (QD) in 1974-1997, at a median 2.1 Gy/fraction, to a total median dose of 71.4 Gy in a median overall time of 54 days. As was common before the mid-1980s, 39% and 22% of patients had overall times exceeding 8 and 9 weeks, respectively; 370 patients were treated with accelerated hyperfractionation twice daily (BID) from 1987-1997, at a median of 1.6 Gy/fraction, with an interfraction interval of 4-6 h, to a total median dose of 68 Gy in 40 days. Both schedules were well-balanced with respect to their pretreatment characteristics. Patients were not randomized into QD or BID. The 10-year actuarial probability of local control was 37% vs. 56% for QD and BID, respectively (P < 0.001), which reflects an increase of 19% or a 51% reduction in the local failure rate. Multivariate analysis revealed that T-stage, QD or BID schedule, and overall treatment time were significant independent factors for achieving local tumor control. The 10-year actuarial probability of cause-specific disease-free survival was 25% and 30% for QD and BID, respectively (P = 0.012). Acute morbidity was slightly higher with the BID schedule: patients requiring tube or parenteral feeding were 2.4% for BID and 0.5% for QD (P = 0.01). The 10-year actuarial probability of RTOG/EORTC Grades 3-5 late effects was 13% for both QD and BID. The lack of increase in late complications was most probably due to the lower total dose and dose per fraction in the BID schedule. This study has shown that accelerated hyperfractionated irradiation using two doses of 1.6 Gy each treatment day for less than 6 weeks in advanced head and neck cancer in male patients provides significantly better local tumor control and cause-specific disease-free survival, without increased late morbidity, than conventional fractionation delivered at the previously relaxed overall times of 7 weeks, but sometimes exceeding 8 or 9 weeks.

Article: Medium-dose-rate brachytherapy of cancer of the cervix: Preliminary results of a prospectively designed schedule based on the linear-quadratic model[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To compare results and complications of our previous low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy schedule for early-stage cancer of the cervix, with a prospectively designed medium-dose-rate (MDR) schedule, based on the linear-quadratic model (LQ). A combination of brachytherapy, external beam pelvic and parametrial irradiation was used in 102 consecutive Stage Ib-IIb LDR treated patients (1986-1990) and 42 equally staged MDR treated patients (1994-1996). The planned MDR schedule consisted of three insertions on three treatment days with six 8-Gy brachytherapy fractions to Point A, two on each treatment day with an interfraction interval of 6 hours, plus 18 Gy external whole pelvic dose, and followed by additional parametrial irradiation. The calculated biologically effective dose (BED) for tumor was 90 Gy10 and for rectum below 125 Gy3. In practice the MDR brachytherapy schedule achieved a tumor BED of 86 Gy10 and a rectal BED of 101 Gy3. The latter was better than originally planned due to a reduction from 85% to 77% in the percentage of the mean dose to the rectum in relation to Point A. The mean overall treatment time was 10 days shorter for MDR in comparison with LDR. The 3-year actuarial central control for LDR and MDR was 97% and 98% (p = NS), respectively. The Grades 2 and 3 late complications (scale 0 to 3) were 1% and 2.4%, respectively for LDR (3-year) and MDR (2-year). LQ is a reliable tool for designing new schedules with altered fractionation and dose rates. The MDR schedule has proven to be an equivalent treatment schedule compared with LDR, with an additional advantage of having a shorter overall treatment time. The mean rectal BED Gy3 was lower than expected.International Journal of Radiation OncologyBiologyPhysics 04/1999; 43(5):1061-4. DOI:10.1016/S0360-3016(98)00527-6 · 4.18 Impact Factor
Article: Vegetables, fruits, and related nutrients and risk of breast cancer: A case-control study in Uruguay[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate whether the protective effect associated with vegetables and fruits in breast cancer could be explained by nutrients and bioactive substances present in these plant foods, we carried out a case-control study in Uruguay including 400 cases and 405 controls. The intake of vegetables, fruits, and related nutrients was estimated with a food frequency questionnaire on 64 food items. This questionnaire allowed the calculation of total energy intake, and nutrients were calorie adjusted by the residuals method. Odds ratios for study variables were estimated by unconditional multiple logistic regression. Total vegetable, total fruit, dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin E, lycopene, folate, and total phytosterol intakes were inversely associated with breast cancer risk [4th quartile odds ratio for total vegetable intake = 0.41, 95% confidence interval = 0.26-0.65, p (for trend) = 0.004]. The association with total vegetable intake was not independent of lycopene intake. The results related to vegetable and nutrient intakes are consistent with antioxidant and antiestrogenic effects. This could be mediated, among other nutrients, by dietary fiber and lycopene intake. The role of other unmeasured phytochemicals, correlated with dietary fiber and lycopene intakes, cannot be ruled out.Nutrition and Cancer 02/1999; 35(2):111-9.

Article: Corticosteroids and radiation mucositis in head and neck cancer. A double-blind placebo-controlled randomized trial[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Patients with head and neck cancer were randomized in a double-blind manner to receive 40 mg/day prednisone (n = 32) or placebo (n = 34). The prescribed daily tumour dose was 1.6 Gy twice daily with an interfraction interval of > or =6 h. Treatment interruptions were at the discretion of the radiation oncologists. The primary study end-point was the total duration of treatment. A mean 4.4 day reduction was observed in the total elapsed treatment duration for the prednisone arm, 34.3 versus 29.9 days (P = 0.013), which paralleled a significantly lower median total tumour and biologically effective dose (BED) Gy10 in this arm. A trend favouring shorter treatment interruptions in the prednisone arm was also found, but not a reduction in the intensity or duration of mucositis.Radiotherapy and Oncology 05/1998; 47(2):145-8.

Article: Induction chemotherapy and radiotherapy of advanced cancer of the cervix: a pilot study and phase III randomized trial.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study assessed the effectiveness and toxicity of induction chemotherapy (CT) and radiation therapy (RT) in the treatment of locally advanced carcinoma of the cervix with data provided by a pilot study and a randomized trial. Eighty-six patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Stage IB-IVA (Stage IB >4-cm tumor diameter) (Group A) were entered in a pilot study and treated with cisplatin (50 mg/m2), vincristine (1 mg/m2 on days 1, 11, and 21), bleomycin (25 mg/m2 infusion on days 1-3, 11-13, and 21-23), and standard RT. Ninety-six patients were randomized to either this same CT regimen and RT, or RT alone (Group B: CT plus RT or RT). In Group A, 58% responded to induction CT. With a mean follow-up of 78 months, 73% achieved pelvic control (LRC), and 55% were disease-free survivors. Response to CT was not a marker for ultimate LRC or increased disease-free survival (DFS). In Group B, 62% responded to CT. With a mean follow-up of 43 months, LRC was 68% and 65% for all randomized patients in the CT plus RT and RT arms, respectively (p = NS). In patients who completed treatment, 78% and 70%, respectively, achieved LRC (p = NS). Disease-free survival rates were 38% and 49% for randomized patients in the CT plus RT and RT arms (p = NS), respectively, and 44% and 52% in those patients completing treatment (p = NS), respectively. Complications were acceptable. Data from this study did not prove the efficacy of induction CT before definitive RT in locally advanced cancer of the cervix. Induction CT with the currently used combinations and modes of administration should not be considered standard therapy.International Journal of Radiation OncologyBiologyPhysics 02/1997; 37(2):343-50.

ABSTRACT: The amount of dose reduction on changing from low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy to medium dose rate (MDR) or high dose rate (HDR) afterloading has been the subject of much debate. The magnitude of reduction depends, together with other possible factors, on two radiobiological parameters: the alpha/beta ratio and the half-time of repair of the relevant tissues. In an attempt to extract these radiobiological parameters for the late rectal complications observed in our previously published clinical results four different schedules using MDR and one using LDR are analyzed. The percentage incidence of complications was a function of increasing biologically effective dose (BED), but would yield nonsense scattergrams if plotted against raw total dose. In addition, for three other published MDR series, three LDR series, and two HDR series, the incidence of rectal complications is plotted against BED to examine the predictive potential of using BED as the surrogate of total dose. Our own results were published in 1996, consisting of 102 patients treated at the LDR of 0.44 Gy/hr and 88 patients treated by four different schedules using an MDR of 1.6-1.7 Gy/hr. Follow-up is at least 3 years in all schedules. The linear quadratic formula including the "g" dose rate factor was used to analyze them, assuming exponential repair of the repairable beta term. First, multivariate and profile likelihood analyses were carried out to obtain estimates of alpha/beta and T1/2 for rectal late responding tissues. Then graphs of incidence of rectal complications vs. BED were constructed, assuming alpha/beta = 3 Gy and T1/2 = 1.5 hr, values which had not been contradicted by the multivariate analysis. Graphs were drawn both for "all grades including mild reactions" (grades 1 + 2 + 3) and for "serious" complications (grade 3 in our system). In addition, other published cervical brachytherapy series were reviewed, with calculation of their BEDs if not published by the authors. It was necessary to review and compare their grading systems, so that "mild and moderate" (grades 1 and 2) could be contrasted with "serious" (grades 3 and 4 or 5 in various systems). Comparisons were made with other published results, including three LDR, three MDR, and two HDR series spanning from 1982 to 1997. The BEDs at which the incidence of rectal complications rose above the arbitrary level of 10% were compared for all three ranges of dose rate. The multivariate analysis gave estimates of alpha/beta and T1/2 which were not significantly different from 3 Gy and 1.5 hr, respectively, so these values were used to compute the BEDs for the subsequent comparisons. It was found that the graphs of incidence of rectal complications for "all grades including mild" agreed rather better between all series than might have been expected, within a provisional (10%) threshold BED of range 100-123 Gy3 (60-74 Gy given as 2 Gy fractionated external beam or as LDR). The dose-response curves diverged above these values, as expected until common grading systems such as SOMA/ LENT become more widely used. For "serious" complications the 10% incidence occurred at a median BED of 140 Gy3 (84 Gy given as 2 Gy fractionated external beam or as LDR), range 124-155 Gy3. The use of BED (or extrapolated response dose), assuming alpha/beta = 3 Gy and T1/2 = 1.5 hr, instead of total dose, enabled incidence of late rectal complications in cervical brachytherapy with LDR, MDR, and HDR to be plotted in a reasonably consistent way. This does not mean that those parameter values have been definitively determined, but they appear to be provisional values that may be of use in comparing the expected effects of new schedules until better values are obtained from greater use of common grading systems.Radiation Oncology Investigations 01/1997; 5(6):289-99.

Not impressed. I bought this in the 5x7 & 10x7 and the smaller one is of nicer quality than the large one. The large one is thinner and for the love of god I can't get the lumps out! 2 weeks later (I ironed and even used a carpet shampooer on it) and I can hardly vacuum it properly due to the lumps. It's shinier than the smaller one too as though the fabric content is of lesser value The squares do not look the same as pictured. They are proportioned way larger. The colors are nice.....I got what I paid for. Cheap and will replace it as soon as I can. The only reason I gave 3 stars instead of 1 is because the quality of the smaller 5x7 rug was a little nicer. I have pads under both of them to prevent movement on my hardwood. Oh and if you have pets that shed...run far away from this thing! It holds hair like you wouldn't believe and since its so lumpy, well I can't seem to get it all up & I use a Dyson vacuum.

Morphing a commuter jet into a bizliner is no easy task, but Embraer has succeeded with the Legacy 600. The aircraft is based on the wildly successful and rugged EMB 135, a 37-seat commuter jet. When introduced in 2002, the Legacy offered a simple value proposition: a capacious cabin on par with that of a Gulfstream GV–and for half the price. Today, used Legacies are an even bigger bargain.

Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of a metal print. Your image gets printed directly onto a sheet of 1/16" thick aluminum.
The aluminum sheet is offset from the wall by a 3/4" thick wooden frame which is attached to the back. The wooden frame includes a hanging wire for easy mounting on your wall (see photo on the left).
All metal prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with mounting hooks and nails.
Metal prints are extremely durable. They're lightweight. They won't bend, and they're water resistant.
The high gloss of the aluminum sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.

Beyond the first woods is an open field and then more wooded area at the base of a mountain. Off in the...
I have been an oil painter my entire life. Many of the paintings that I do are sentimental rural settings. I also like to paint landmarks and paintings that tell a story like "Surprise Visit".
