Thanks to Jodan for the hookup on this. Served from a 22oz bottle into a pint glass.
A - Copper/Orange in color with a off white head. 2 finger head with a gentle/normal pour. Lacing moderately sticks to the glass.
S - Sweet floral citrus notes. Not over-powering like some DIPA's can be. Very well balanced hop and malt characteristics.
T - Very well balanced and sweet up front with a nice citrus hop finish. Hides the 10% ABV very well. So good I keep going in for another sip as soon as I finish the last.
M - A little heavier as it warms, but still a very easy drinking beer for a 10% DIPA.
O - Definately a front runner for one of the best DIPA's I've had. A great balance of sweet malt and hops. Not over powering on the hops, so if you're looking for a DIPA that won't wreck your pallet with a huge hop bomb, this is it.

If there ever was a perfect beer to represent the double IPA style, for me this it is!
A - straight pour out of the bottle into my Kostritzer stemmed glass. Formed a 2 finger's width of head subsiding into a thin ring leaving some lacing on the glass. The beer itself is bordering on yellow-orange tending towards light amber in color.
S - Whoa - guava is supremely dominant. This must be a super-fresh bottle! I pick up some papaya, honeydew, grapefruit, peaches. Mind blown!
T - Taste follows smell. Initial blast of sugary sweetness completely belies 87 IBU worth of hoppy bitterness. This is like drinking straight-up fruit juice. Sort of like a guava, papaya, grapefruit punch. The sweetness gradually diminishes as the beer flows through the mouth, indicating the counteraction of the hops and dries out towards the end. At no point do you feel any unwelcome bitterness or alcohol heat. The only indication of the 10% ABV is after a couple of sips, when you feel the warmth in your chest.
M - Perfect mouthfeel. The maltiness lends some body, but the carbonation and hops play together perfectly to make the mouthfeel lighter and quaffable. This is the sort of a beer that makes you take big gulps and let it play around in your mouth before swallowing it bit-by-bit.
O - Much as I like to rate this a perfect 5 (and the beer itself is worthy of this), I must deduct a point somewhere for not putting a bottled-on date anywhere on this brew. Brewers - not everyone might be as lucky as me to land a fresh bottle, please note and help us appreciate you better!
This beer is an ode to hops. Supremely well-balanced, supremely aromatic, supremely enjoyable. Even if I may never get to try this beer again, this beer has left an indelible impression on me, and will be the new benchmark for all DIPAs to follow.

T - MMM this one is very tasty...bitter but not overwhelming...a tasty sweetness slides down my throat along with the bitter hops...very nice.
M - Very nice....not too carbonated, it is almost perfect.
D - Very easy to drink for a DIPA....could session this one forsher...
Another great Southern Cali DIPA and I live a few miles from the brewery yay!

On tap at the Bootleggers Tasting Room
A - Pours a light amber/straw color with a nice white head and great lacing.
S - DIPA, need I say more? Grapefruit, pine, resin, citrus and maybe a bit of sweetness peeking through.
T - DIPA, need I say more? Bitter up front, in the middle and at the end. Grapefruit, pine, citrus, resin flavors show through the whole time. Definitely one of the better DIPA's out there.
M - Nicely carbonated on a fairly heavy beer. The carbonation seems to allow the flavors to really penetrate the tongue.
D - Decently drinkable for a high alcohol brew. After Strong Ale Fest, a lot of people I had talked to said this was one of their favorites at the festival. Great beer!

I was fortunate to find this at my local market after never seeing it from the usual bottle shops. It was the last one. Poured 650ml into snifter.
Pours orange-amber, butterscotch meets root beer type color...darker than most of this style. Good retention on a low volume head, the lacing slowly drips down the glass, not that sticky.
The nose starts out with fresh pine and gradually gives way to a well balanced malt character. It has an excellent clean, sweet, butterscotch-like finish. Floral and citrus tastes immediately give way to the big malt finish, sweet again with caramel and a bit of alcohol.
Oh yes this is a DIPA that you can sink your teeth into. It lets you know right away with the warmth of the mouth, but that does not take away from a surprisingly medium bodied feel.
The malt backbone on this one is big time and yet so well balanced. Packs a big punch as the name implies and not to be taken lightly. It would be difficult to take down multiple bombers of this beer but definitely will be buying this next time it's on the shelf.

Poured from a 22oz bomber (thanks to StevenT562) into an imperial pint glass
Pours a dark amber with a reddish hue. An aggressive pour yeilds a one finger head which dissipates to a frothy white cap, decent lacing with a solid ring after each sip Aroma is of piney hop oils up front with citrus/grapefruit and caramel in the back.
Strong bitter hop taste up front with a slight bitter citrus taste, this beer has a strong malt backbone that tastes of caramel and banana with a slight alcohol taste at the end. This is a dangerously drinkable DIPA, I could easily throw back a few of these and would never guess a 10% ABV if the bottle didn't say so.
Overall this is a delicious well balanced DIPA with a nice malt character to offset the strong hop aroma and taste, I would definitely seek out this beer again.

Dark amber color with a good two fingers of off-white head. Head dissipated quickly leaving a small amount of spotty lacing. The nose on this one is big on tropical fruit and citrus. Pineapple, grapefruit, mango, sweet malts and a bit of boozy alcohol scent stand out. The taste is an intense blend of the aforementioned. A lot of succulent fruit, alcohol and a sweet, malty backbone coming through. Creamy, medium mouthfeel. Very drinkable.
One of my favorite D/IPAs. I wish this stuff was around more often.

S- very piny and a bit fruity. very powerful exciting smell
T- very original and well balanced choppy malty booze taste. The first taste is a breathe of life. Alcohol isnt well hidden, but its strangely welcoming. Towards the end of the beer, the bitterness did linger a bit.
M- sharp booze bubbles, very fizzy but it doesn't ruin the beer
O- incredibly unique IPA. It has this scotchy choppy balance that really surprises you.

The beer smeels of crisp citrus fruits with a bit of a resiny stinch as well. It pours a dark orange body with a sticky off white head. The beer is bitter upfront with a lingering sweetness at the end. The alcohol is hidden well but you can sense that after one bottle you probably will be able to feel a little buzz going. It is moderatly carbonated with a sticky texture to the beer. Overall this is a beer I would drink again and one I would love to always have around if that was possible.

Knuckle Sandwich
650ml Bottle purchased at Bootleggers Brewery 11/23/12
Served in a tulip Glass
A: This beer pours a nice dark amber with a 1-2 finger head with some lacing. Some alcohol legs are visible. A small head lingers.
S: Sweet citrus and pine dominate the aroma. there is no alcohol in the smell.
T: Malty pineapple flavors dominate the initial flavor profile. Some mango with a quickly dissipating bitterness finish the back end. This beer is on the sweeter side of the DIPA spectrum. This specific batch is a little more sweet and a little less hoppy than previous batches in my opinion. Even with the small variations this is a great beer.
M: This beer has a thick mouthfeel. The effervescence does help cut down the syrupy mouthfeel, but the finish is still slightly sticky.
O: This another great West Coast DIPA. Find it now. Recommended.

A: Color is orangey copper with generous head.
S: While I prefer more citrus forward IPA's, this one hits you with alcohol followed by a heavy malt back bone. As beer warms up a bit one gets a great bouquet of grapefruit and hoppy pine which is nice.
T: More alcohol...imbalanced for me.
M: Great carbonation and even though the ABV is high it does finish smooth with a sweet aftertaste.
O: I've had this many times and every time I revisit this DIPA I'm left thinking whats the hype. I'll blame it on my pallet but I feel there are far better styles of this beer out there.

Knuckle sandwich provides a great amount of hops that brings a smooth taste which lingers for a great 10 second ordeal. HIGHLY UNDERATED.Finding this beer is a true treasure as every liquor store in CA seems to sell it within days of stock. If you get the chance to try this brew, you are lucky. This is Bootleggers masterpiece, it is considerably comparable to Pliny the elder. I would never pass a knuckle sandwich up. "All 78 bottles sold within 3 days of restock" says liquor store owners.

Poured into a Duvel Tulip glass from a 22oz bomber.
Pours deep amber with a 1" creamy white head and nice lacing. I'm really enjoying the caramel, toffee and citrus aromas with a lingering touch of slight grassiness. On first taste I detect spicy hops, grapefruit rind and toasted caramel malt. Mouth feel is full and the carbonation is full and refreshing.
Overall is this is a really great DIPA that deserves to be mentioned among the heavy weights in it's class. I enjoyed it tremendously and won't hesitate to pick one up next time it comes around.

Wow! I was pleasantly surprised by this DIPA. I picked up a few bottles from my local grocer after hearing good things about it. The hop aroma is intoxicating. If I could create an air freshener for my truck that smelled as good as Knuckle Sandwich I would. It tasted a good as it smelled, and surprisingly drinkable for a 10% beer.

Got this bomber thanks to unitmosnter.
Cracked this open and didn't smell much hops. Smells like some of the IPAs my buddie has brewed. The smell is sweet like candy, piny and alcohol. Appearance is dark amber with little head, good lacing though. Since this bottle is only 2 weeks old the taste was better than I was expecting. I wouldn't let this one sit over 2 weeks though. This beer is very balanced. I get big sweetness with a bit of hops and the alcohol is apparent on the finish. I like drier IPAs myself so I wasn't really expecting to be all about this one but it was good. It was a great beer and I loved having it fresh but I don't think I would seek this out again unless it was on tap.

22 oz. bomber poured into a Sam Adams "perfect pint" glass.
Bomber purchased in late November/early December, following most recent bottling by Bootlegger's (and increased distribution--yay!).
A: Pours rather dark for a DIPA, an overall light caramel-brown with hints of gold around the edges. 1/2" plus of off-white foam, with bubbles fizzing up at first before beers clears up entirely (no haze evident).
S: Piney, sweet, light caramel notes evident at first; citrus notes are upfront yet hard to pin down... possibly lemon zest, pineapple-like, even peach-ey.
T: Although this is certainly a hop bomb, the hops hit the edges of the palate first, as the strong malty/caramel backbone carries more weight at first. As the beer leaves the palate, hops close in from the edges to take over and finish strong, but with an overall smooth transition of flavors.
M: While the caramel flavors create a mildly syrupy taste, this doesn't linger long as it segues smoothly into a lighter feel mid-taste (aided by the appropriate mid-high carbonation), before leaving a lingering note of biscuit and caramel drizzle.
D: Amazingly drinkable for the ABV; alcohol is hardly evident until the glass is finished and you realize that 10 oz. of this beer can catch up to you real quick. Can be drunk quickly if not careful, but also great for savoring slowly.
Overall, a delightful beer with components that should attract hop-heads and malt lovers alike. It may test the boundaries of what characterizes a DIPA, but really showcases what flavors can be combined in what some perceive as a one-trick pony kind of style. Personally, this beer single-handedly converted me from a timid hop consumer into a full-fledged DIPA fan.

Pours out a orange/red, nice 2 finger head and lacing on tulip glass.
Smells like fresh fruits, pine smell, HUGE aroma on this. Nice sweet caramel smell malt on it as well.
Tastes how it smells fresh hop taste, with fruits on front with a nice balance of hops and malt backbone finish leaves you wanting more. 10% not detectable on this treat of a drink.
This is a dangerous beer for the non suspecting. Lives up to its name, drink too many its like Mike Tyson punching you in the face in his prime.
This beer belongs in the top tier of DIPA's in my opinion. Has all you want in that category and more. This is on my TOP 3 in the style, great brew Bootlegger's! Perfect score in my books.

It's hard for me to give this beer a true ranking and review as it's been so inconsistent. It used to be something I really sought out but it seems to be less and less delicious every time I try it. I thought it was just me but the other night I ordered one and commented that it was better than last time but still not what it once was. The bartender shrugged and said, "tell me about it. I hear that every time we get a keg."
Its a good beer even a very good beer but it was once a great beer.
I have very strong recollections of the searing hop aromas and flavors that dominate my nose and mouth from the time I lift the glass until a minute after I gulp. The resinous pine and tropical notes are still there but just not a pronounced as I vividly recall.
Carbonation and mouthfeel are still really good.
I'll keep drinking it and hope that this latest upswing is a sign of things to come from my boys at Bootleggers.

ABSTRACT: A titanium (Ti)-adhesive nanoparticle is developed as a surface-releasing system for dual osteogenic growth factors. The Ti-adhesive nanoparticle is prepared by self-assembly of a poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA)-grafted hyaluronic acid (HA) copolymer, followed by conjugation of catechol groups on nanoparticle surfaces. The nanoparticles consist of Ti-adhesive peripheral catechol groups, anionic HA shells, and hydrophobic PLGA inner cores. The immobilization of the nanoparticles onto Ti substrates is successfully verified using various analytical tools including field-emission scanning electron microscopy (Fe-SEM), contact angle measurement, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Positively charged dual growth factors, bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) are readily loaded onto the negatively charged HA shells of surface-immobilized nanoparticles, which is confirmed by fluorescence microscopy. The Ti substrates with dual growth factor-loaded nanoparticle-immobilized nanoparticles remarkably promote the attachment, proliferation, spreading, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs).Macromolecular Bioscience 11/2013; · 3.74 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Enhanced drug-loading and therapeutic efficacies are highly essential properties for nanoparticles as tumor-targeting drug carriers. Herein, we developed the glycol chitosan nanoparticles with hydrotropic oligomers (HO-CNPs) as a new tumor targeting drug delivery system. For enhancing drug-loading efficiency of paclitaxel in drug carriers, hydrotropic 2-(4-(vinylbenzyloxy)-N,N-diethylnicotinamide) (VBODENA-COOH) oligomers, that were used for enhancing the aqueous solubility of paclitaxel, were directly conjugated to glycol chitosan polymers. The amphiphilic conjugates readily formed nanoparticle structure (average size=302 ± 22nm) in aqueous condition. Water-insoluble paclitaxel (PTX) was readily encapsulated into HO-CNPs with a high drug-loading amount up to 24.2wt% (2.4 fold higher than other polymeric nanoparticles) by a simple dialysis method. The PTX encapsulated HO-CNPs (PTX-HO-CNPs; average size=343 ± 12nm) was very stable in aqueous media up to 50days. Also, PTX-HO-CNPs presented rapid cellular uptake and lower cytotoxicity in cell culture system, compared to Cremophor EL/ethanol formulation of PTX. In tumor-bearing mice, the extravasation and accumulation of PTX-HO-CNPs in tumor tissue was precisely observed by intravital fluorescence imaging techniques. Furthermore, PTX-HO-CNPs showed the higher therapeutic efficacy, compared to Abraxane®, a commercialized PTX-formulation. These overall results demonstrate its potential as a new nano-sized PTX carrier for cancer treatment.Journal of Controlled Release 09/2013; · 7.63 Impact Factor -
Article: Calcium Phosphate-Reinforced Photosensitizer-Loaded Polymer Nanoparticles for Photodynamic Therapy.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Calcium phosphate-reinforced photosensitizer-loaded polymer nanoparticles have been developed for photodynamic therapy. Chlorin e6 (Ce6)-loaded core-shell-corona polymer micelles of poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(L-aspartic acid)-b-poly(L-phenylalanine) (PEG-PAsp-PPhe) were employed as template nanoparticles for mineralization with calcium phosphate (CaP). CaP deposition was performed by the electrostatic localization of calcium ions at the anionic PAsp middle shells and the subsequent addition of phosphate anions. CaP-reinforced nanoparticles exhibited enhanced stability. The CaP mineral layer effectively inhibited Ce6 release from the Ce6-loaded mineralized nanoparticles (Ce6-NP-CaP) at physiological pH value. At an acidic endosomal pH value of 5.0, Ce6 release was enhanced, owing to rapid dissolution of the CaP minerals. Upon irradiation of Ce6-NP-CaP-treated MCF-7 breast-tumor cells, the cell viability dramatically decreased with increasing irradiation time. The phototoxicity of Ce6-NP-CaP was much higher than that of free Ce6. Non-invasive optical-imaging results indicated that Ce6-NP-CaP exhibited enhanced tumor specificity compared with free Ce6 and Ce6-loaded non-mineralized polymer nanoparticles (Ce6-NP).Chemistry - An Asian Journal 09/2013; · 4.57 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report on a novel surface functionalization approach to equip the titanium (Ti) surfaces with osteogenic properties. A key feature of the approach is the treatment of the Ti surfaces with Ti-adhesive nanoparticles that can stably load and controllably release bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2). Ti-adhesive nanoparticles were prepared by self-assembly of a catechol-functionalized poly(amino acid) diblock copolymer, catechol-poly(L-aspartic acid)-b-poly(L-phenylalanine) (Cat-PAsp-PPhe). The nanoparticles consist of Ti-adhesive peripheral catechol groups, anionic PAsp shells, and PPhe inner cores. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (Fe-SEM) images showed that the Ti-adhesive nanoparticles could be uniformly immobilized on Ti surfaces. X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the successful anchoring of nanoparticles onto Ti surfaces. After surface immobilization of the nanoparticles, the static water contact angle of the Ti substrate decreased from 75.3° to 50.0° or 36.4°, depending on the surface nanoparticle. Fluorescence microscopic analysis showed that BMP-2 could be effectively incorporated onto the Ti surface with adhesive nanoparticles. BMP-2 was controllably released for up to 40 days. The Ti substrate functionalized with BMP-2-incorporated nanoparticles significantly promoted attachment, proliferation, spreading, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSC). The catechol-functionalized adhesive nanoparticles may be applied to various medical devices to create surfaces for improved performance.Journal of Controlled Release 05/2013; · 7.63 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Since 1960 when the history of modern hydrogels began significant progress has been made in the field of controlled drug delivery. In particular, recent advances in the so-called smart hydrogels have made it possible to design highly sophisticated formulations, e.g., self-regulated drug delivery systems. Despite intensive efforts, clinical applications of smart hydrogels have been limited. Smart hydrogels need to be even smarter to execute functions necessary for achieving desired clinical functions. It is necessary to develop novel hydrogels that meet the requirements of the intended, specific applications, rather than finding applications of newly developed hydrogels. Furthermore, developing smarter hydrogels that can mimic natural systems is necessary, but the fundamental differences between natural and synthetic systems need to be understood. Such understanding will allow us to develop novel hydrogels with the new, multiple functions that we are looking for.Advanced drug delivery reviews 08/2012; · 11.96 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Targeted drug delivery to tumor sites is one of the ultimate goals in drug delivery. Recent progress in nanoparticle engineering has certainly improved drug targeting, but the results are not as good as expected. This is largely due to the fact that nanoparticles, regardless of how advanced they are, find the target as a result of blood circulation, like the conventional drug delivery systems do. Currently, the nanoparticle-based drug delivery to the target tumor tissues is based on wrong assumptions that most of the nanoparticles, either PEGylated or not, reach the target by the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect. Studies have shown that so-called targeting moieties, i.e., antibodies or ligands, on the nanoparticle surface do not really improve delivery to target tumors. Targeted drug delivery to tumor sites is associated with highly complex biological, mechanical, chemical and transport phenomena, of which characteristics vary spatiotemporally. Yet, most of the efforts have been focused on design and surface manipulation of the drug carrying nanoparticles with relatively little attention to other aspects. This article examines the current misunderstandings and the main difficulties in targeted drug delivery.Journal of Controlled Release 07/2012; · 7.63 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A mineral (calcium phosphate, CaP)-reinforced core-shell-corona micelle was evaluated as a nanocarrier of doxorubicin (DOX) for cancer therapy. The polymer micelles of poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(L-aspartic acid)-b-poly(L-phenylalanine) (PEG-PAsp-PPhe) in the aqueous phase provided the three distinct functional domains: the hydrated PEG outer corona for prolonged circulation, the anionic PAsp middle shell for CaP mineralization, and the hydrophobic PPhe inner core for DOX loading. CaP mineralization was performed by initial electrostatic localization of calcium ions at anionic PAsp shells, and the consequent addition of phosphate anions to trigger the growth of CaP. The mineralization did not affect the micelle size or the spherical morphology. The CaP-mineralized micelles exhibited enhanced serum stability. The DOX release from the DOX-loaded mineralized micelles (DOX-CaP-PM) at physiological pH was efficiently inhibited, whereas at an endosomal pH (pH 4.5), DOX release was facilitated due to the rapid dissolution of the CaP mineral layers in the middle shell domains. The in vivo tissue distribution and tumor accumulation of the DOX-CaP-PM that were labeled with a near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF) dye, Cy5.5, were monitored in MDA-MB231 tumor-bearing mice. Non-invasive real-time optical imaging results indicated that the DOX-CaP-PM exhibited enhanced tumor specificity due to the prolonged stable circulation in the blood and an enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect compared with the DOX-loaded nonmineralized polymer micelles (DOX-NPM). The DOX-CaP-PM exhibited enhanced therapeutic efficacy in tumor-bearing mice compared with free DOX and DOX-NPM. The CaP mineralization on assembled nanoparticles may serve as a useful guide for enhancing the antitumor therapeutic efficacy of various polymer micelles and nano-aggregates.Biomaterials 05/2012; 33(23):5788-97. · 7.60 Impact Factor - Journal of Nanomaterials 01/2012; 2012. · 1.55 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: We describe in this study whether the gold nanoparticle (AuNP) surface-functionalized with PEG, biotin, paclitaxel (PTX) and rhodamine B linked beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) (AuNP-5') can be useful as a theranostic agent for cancer therapy without the cytotoxic effect on normal cells. Prior to surface-functionalizing AuNPs, the cytotoxicity of the nanoparticles was evaluated, followed by their cytocompatibility. PTX, an anti-cancer agent, formed inclusion complexations with β-CD conjugated AuNPs, and effectively released from the AuNP-2' surface-functionalized with PEG, beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and paclitaxel (PTX) using the intracellular glutathione (GSH) level (10 mm). Two types of AuNP-4 surface-functionalized with PEG and rhodamine B linked β-CD and AuNP-5 surface-functionalized PEG, biotin and rhodamine B linked β-CD were used for evaluating their specific interaction on cancer cells such as HeLa, A549 and MG63. These were also tested against normal NIH3T3 cell, determining that the AuNP-5 was more effectively involved with the cancer cells. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), fluorescence-activated cell-sorting (FACS) and cell viability analyses showed that the AuNP-5' plays a significant role in the diagnosis and therapy of the cancer cells, and may be used in theranostic agents.Biomaterials 01/2012; 33(3):856-66. · 7.60 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study aimed to identify the optimal micro- and submicroscale topographies of titanium (Ti) substrata that would most significantly influence adhesion, proliferation, and other activities of these cells. Truncated V-shaped microgrooves in 60 μm-wide and 10 μm-deep cross-sections with 0°, 30°, 60°, or 90° angles between the microgrooves and ridge-top submicroscale texture were created on the Ti substrata (designated NE60/10-0°, NE60/10-30°, NE60/10-60° and NE60/10-90°, respectively). Ground titanium with submicroscale texture but with no microgrooves was used as the control substratum, NE0. Scanning electron microscopic observation and the assays determining the cell adhesion, cell proliferation and osteoblast differentiation were performed. Cells more actively migrated into the microgrooves on NE60/10-30° than into the microgrooves on any other substrata tested, suggesting that the cells utilise the increased surface area of the substrata at the microscale level. NE60/10-0° and NE60/10-30° substrata generally enhanced adhesion, proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, and osteoblast differentiation of human primary cells when compared to other Ti substrata, and significant correlations were observed between these cellular activities. Here, we show that the contact guidance of human primary cells grown on Ti substrata can be controlled more by specific submicroscale textures on ridge tops than by the dimensions of surface microgrooves only. Also, the degree of angles created between the submicroscale textures and microgrooves on Ti substrata significantly affect cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation in human primary cells.Archives of oral biology 12/2011; 57(7):898-905. · 1.65 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A robust core-shell-corona micelle bearing redox-responsive shell-specific cross-links was evaluated as a carrier of docetaxel (DTX) for cancer therapy. The polymer micelles of poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(L-lysine)-b-poly(L-phenylalanine) (PEG-PLys-PPhe) in the aqueous phase provided the three distinct functional domains: the PEG outer corona for prolonged circulation, the PLys middle shell for disulfide cross-linking, and the PPhe inner core for DTX loading. The shell cross-linking was performed by the reaction of disulfide-containing cross-linkers with Lys moieties in the middle shells. The shell cross-linking did not change the micelle size or the spherical morphology. The shell cross-linked micelles exhibited enhanced serum stability. The DTX release from the DTX-loaded disulfide cross-linked micelles (DTX-SSCLM) was facilitated by increasing the concentration of glutathione (GSH). At an intracellular GSH level, DTX release was facilitated due to the reductive cleavage of the disulfide cross-links in the shell domains. The in vivo tissue distribution and tumor accumulation of the DTX-SSCLM that were labeled with a near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) dye, Cy5.5, were monitored in MDA-MB231 tumor-bearing mice. Non-invasive real-time optical imaging results indicated that the DTX-SSCLM exhibited enhanced tumor specificity due to the prolonged stable circulation in blood and the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect compared with the DTX-loaded non-cross-linked micelles (DTX-NCLM). The DTX-SSCLM exhibited enhanced therapeutic efficacy in tumor-bearing mice compared with free DTX and DTX-NCLM. The domain-specific shell cross-linking that is described in this work may serve as a useful guidance for enhancing the antitumor therapeutic efficacy of various polymer micelles and nano-aggregates.Biomaterials 11/2011; 33(5):1489-99. · 7.60 Impact Factor - Angewandte Chemie International Edition 08/2011; 50(38):8853-7. · 13.73 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Hyaluronic acidnanoparticles (HA-NPs), mineralized by calcium phosphate, were synthesized as a robust carrier of the anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX). The HA-NPs were readily mineralized in the presence of calcium nitrate and ammonium phosphate, which was confirmed by various instruments such as FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Mineralization reduced the particle size of the HA-NPs in PBS (pH 7.4) from 263 nm to 142 nm, indicating the formation of compact nanoparticles. Mineralized HA-NPs were highly stable at pH 7.4, whereas their particle size rapidly increased in a mildly acidic solution, which was due to the dissolution of calcium phosphate. When DOX-loaded bare HA-NPs were exposed to buffer solutions of various pH, most of the DOX (>80%) was released within 48 h, and the release behavior was not dependent upon the pH of the solution. Notably, the mineralized HA-NPs released DOX in a sustained manner at pH 7.4, whereas a rapid release of DOX was observed in the acidic solution. The release rate of DOX from the mineralized HA-NPs was higher in the solution with a lower pH. These results indicate that mineralized HA-NPs have potential as robust nanoparticles that can release DOX at specific sites under mildly acidic conditions, such as in the extracellular matrix of tumor tissue and in intracellular compartments (e.g., endosome and lysosome) of the cell.Journal of Materials Chemistry 05/2011; 21(22):7996-8001. · 5.97 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A biocompatible, robust polymer micelle bearing pH-hydrolyzable shell cross-links was developed for efficient intracellular delivery of doxorubicin (DOX). The rationally designed triblock copolymer of poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(L-aspartic acid)-poly(L-phenylalanine) (PEG-PAsp-PPhe) self-assembled to form polymer micelles with three distinct domains of the PEG outer corona, the PAsp middle shell, and the PPhe inner core. Shell cross-linking was performed by the reaction of ketal-containing cross-linkers with Asp moieties in the middle shells. The shell cross-linking did not change the micelle size and the spherical morphology. Fluorescence quenching experiments confirmed the formation of shell cross-linked diffusion barrier, as judged by the reduced Stern-Volmer quenching constant (K(SV)). Dynamic light scattering and fluorescence spectroscopy experiments showed that shell cross-linking improved the micellar physical stability even in the presence of micelle disrupting surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The hydrolysis kinetics study showed that the hydrolysis half-life (t(1/2)) of ketal cross-links was estimated to be 52 h at pH 7.4, whereas 0.7 h at pH 5.0, indicating the 74-fold faster hydrolysis at endosomal pH. Ketal cross-linked micelles showed the rapid DOX release at endosomal pH, compared to physiological pH. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) showed that ketal cross-linked micelles were taken up by the MCF-7 breast cancer cells via endocytosis and transferred into endosomes to hydrolyze the cross-links by lowered pH and finally facilitate the DOX release to inhibit proliferation of cancer cells. This ketal cross-linked polymer micelle is promising for enhanced intracellular delivery efficiency of many hydrophobic anticancer drugs.Biomacromolecules 02/2011; 12(4):1224-33. · 5.37 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]

ABSTRACT: Bioabsorbable calcium phosphate (CaP) microspheres that can incorporate alendronate (ALD) through an in situ loading process and can control the ALD release rate have been described. ALD loading into CaP microspheres could be accomplished by emulsification (water-in-oil) and a subsequent CaP nucleation/growth process within the water droplets, which was initiated by a urea-mediated solution precipitation technique. ALD-loaded microspheres with a mean size range of 163-195 μm were obtained in a spherical shape. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS), spectrophotometric analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the amount of ALD loaded into the microspheres increased when the ALD feed content increased. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis revealed that the in situ loading process enabled the ALD loading throughout the microspheres. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis demonstrated that crystalline hydroxyapatite (HAp) and amorphous CaP phases coexisted within the microspheres. In addition, the increased loading of ALD resulted in a larger proportion of the amorphous CaP phase within the microspheres. The ALD release rate could be controlled depending on the dissolution rate of microspheres, and ALD could be released over a period of 40 days. The evaluation of the biological activity showed that ALD-loaded CaP microspheres directly blocked osteoclast formation by releasing ALD to monocytic precursor cells and effectively inhibiting their differentiation into osteoclasts.Journal of Controlled Release 10/2010; 147(1):45-53. · 7.63 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report a smart mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) with a pore surface designed to undergo charge conversion in intracellular endosomal condition. The surface of mesopores in the silica nanoparticles was engineered to have pH-hydrolyzable citraconic amide. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analyses confirmed the successful modification of the pore surfaces. MSNs (MSN-Cit) with citraconic amide functionality on the pore surfaces exhibited a negative zeta potential (-10 mV) at pH 7.4 because of the presence of carboxylate end groups. At cellular endosomal pH (approximately 5.0), MSN-Cit have a positive zeta potential (16 mV) indicating the dramatic charge conversion from negative to positive by hydrolysis of surface citraconic amide. Cytochrome c (Cyt c) of positive charges could be incorporated into the pores of MSN-Cit by electrostatic interactions. The release of Cyt c can be controlled by adjusting the pH of the release media. At pH 7.4, the Cyt c release was retarded, whereas, at pH 5.0, MSN-Cit facilitated the release of Cyt c. The released Cyt c maintained the enzymatic activity of native Cyt c. Hemolytic activity of MSN-Cit over red blood cells (RBCs) was more pronounced at pH 5.0 than at pH 7.0, indicating the capability of intracellular endosomal escape of MSN carriers. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) studies showed that MSN-Cit effectively released Cyt c in endosomal compartments after uptake by cancer cells. The MSN developed in this work may serve as efficient intracellular carriers of many cell-impermeable therapeutic proteins.Nanotechnology 06/2010; 21(22):225101. · 3.84 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]

ABSTRACT: Novel porous poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) scaffolds with surface-immobilized nano-hydroxyapatite (N-HAp) were synthesized for effective bone regeneration. N-Hap-bearing surface phosphate functionalities were immobilized chemically on the pore surface of amine-treated PLLA scaffolds. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that 24 wt% of N-HAp had been immobilized on the scaffold pore surface. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed that N-HAp was exposed markedly on the pore surfaces of scaffolds compared to the conventional scaffold fabricated by a bulk-mixing process of PLLA and N-HAp. The PLLA scaffold with surface-immobilized N-HAp had a higher surface Ca atomic ratio (4.6%) than that on the pore surface of the bulk-mixed PLLA/N-HAp scaffold (Ca = 0.4%). The porous PLLA scaffolds with surface-immobilized N-HAp provided favorable environments for enhanced in vivo bone tissue growth, which was estimated by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining for organic bone tissues and alizarin red S staining for inorganic bone minerals. These results suggest that the N-HAp immobilization approach may produce many useful scaffolds with pore surfaces featuring excellent bone tissue-regenerative properties.

ABSTRACT: Development of successful formulations for poorly water-soluble drugs remains a longstanding critical and challenging issue in cancer therapy. As a potential drug carrier of paclitaxel, hydrotropic oligomer-glycol chitosan (HO-GC) was synthesized by chemical conjugation of the N,N-diethylnicotinamide-based oligomer, uniquely designed for enhancing the aqueous solubility of paclitaxel, to the backbone of glycol chitosan. Owing to its amphiphilicity, the conjugate formed self-assembled nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 313+/-13nm in a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4 at 37 degrees C). HO-GC nanoparticles maintained their structure for up to 50days in PBS. They could encapsulate a high quantity (20wt.%) of paclitaxel (PTX) with a maximum drug-loading efficiency of 97%, due to the presence of hydrotropic inner cores. When HO-GC-PTX particles were exposed to the 0.1M sodium salicylate solution in PBS (pH 7.4), PTX was released from nanoparticles in a sustained manner. From the cytotoxicity test, it was confirmed that HO-GC-PTX nanoparticles showed lower cytotoxicity than free PTX formulation in 50%/50% Cremophor EL/ethanol mixture. The optical imaging results indicated that near-infrared fluorescence dye (Cy5.5)-labeled HO-GC-PTX showed an excellent tumor specificity in SCC7 tumor-bearing mice, due to the enhanced permeation and retention effect. Overall, HO-GC-PTX nanoparticles might be a promising carrier for PTX delivery in cancer therapy.Journal of Controlled Release 07/2009; 140(3):210-7. · 7.63 Impact Factor

I like the pattern, but the edges are blunt, allowing one to trip on it and moisture to soak into the foam. Also, the color was much more yellow than it looked on my monitor. Now, was this the picture they posted, or my monitor? I don't know.

That's a problem i see too. The idea is pretty cool, but if they resemble a steel type in too many aspects, i doubt they'll include something that already exists in some sort of way. That's the reason people say "Light" will never happen, since having electric and fire that covers pretty much the aspects a Light type could have...or at least that's what they say

I'm writing a WPF application (new technique, mostly I've been writing in WinForms). My goal is to make UI responsive whole time, and I've read that it can be achived using Threading/BackgroundWorker. I think that I should use background worker to put there time consuming methods. But I plan to use method *m_AddLog(string logText)* which should append text to textbox. This method I want to call from main UI thread aswell as from background worker, so messages would be sent immediatelly while processing in backround instead of waiting for background task to end. Could you please kindly advise how to write properly write these methods for UI being fully responsive as I don't know much about delegates, invoking, background workers, etc?
Most of the items in wpf application using task and dispatcher will give better results. have a Look at the following code hope this may helps you.. In the below code i have considered a scenario like fetching images from remote server and i created a task for doing that... in the task in side for loop i am using dispatched thread to update UI to notify the progress... and after fetching all the images execution will be moved to continue block.... You can have a look at the following link that may helps you to understand it better
If you want to run some background process then update the UI on completion the following pattern works well (if ran from the UI thread).
Put the background work in the first task and the UI work in the following his is task. The TaskScheduler option ensures the second task runs on the UI thread. |
As People Said there are tons of question that will show you how to do that But if you want to compare it you can find it here with detailed comparison |

« Rockies Release Chad Moeller | Main | Phillies Notes: Lee, Young, Utley »
Ohio Notes: Mesoraco, Johnson, Davis
Some notes from the Buckeye State's two teams...
- Catching prospect Devin Mesoraco, the Reds' first-round pick in the 2007 draft, is impressing the club during Spring Training with both his bat and his defense, reports MLB.com's Mark Sheldon.
- The Reds didn't make major offseason acquisitions and Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports argues that it was the right way for GM Walt Jocketty to approach the offseason.
- Here are a few details on Nick Johnson's minor league contract from MLB.com's Jordan Bastian and Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. According to Hoynes, Johnson can opt out of his contract and become a free agent if he's not on the Indians' Major League roster by July 1. Cleveland's $2.75MM team option on Johnson for 2012 will cease to be if Johnson isn't called up to the majors some point this season, tweets Bastian. Of course, if Johnson isn't playing well enough to even earn a call-up, Cleveland wouldn't have been likely to pick up that option for next year anyway.
- Right-hander Jason Davis, who pitched for the Indians from 2002-07, is on a tryout with the Tribe's minor league camp, reports Paul Hoynes (Twitter link). Davis, who last pitched in the majors with Pittsburgh in 2008, has a 4.82 ERA in 144 Major League games, 56 of them starts.

I was skeptical purchasing a ring online without actually seeing it. I was hoping it would look similar when I received it, and hoped it would shine and sparkle. When I opened the box, I was floored. It looks amazing. My fianc� has got so many compliments in just a short period of time. It is unreal how much it sparkles!!! I bought an engagement ring 7 years ago from a jeweler, and paid literally 5 times more. I swore I wouldnt make that mistake again, and I found a steal with this ring on Overstock!!!!!

Pryor Times
The Salvation Army volunteers will soon kick off the bell-ringing season. Due to some cancellations, bell ringers are urgently needed for Nov. 29 and Nov. 30.
Bell ringers will be stationed outside the doors at Walmart in Pryor each weekend from Thanksgiving to Christmas.
They will be raising money to fund the Mayes County Salvation Army projects for the next year. All money raised during the Christmas season stays in Mayes County to help pay for emergency rent, utilities, fuel or prescriptions for county residents.
During the first 10 months of this year, Salvation Army has helped 625 individuals in 227 families with a total of $25,969 in emergency help. The next two months are among the busiest.
Salvation Army also provided window air conditioners for low income elderly and families with young, ill children.
As part of Mayes County's emergency disaster response, Salvation Army provided help for families affected by the April tornado in Spavinaw, including replacing roofs on two homes.
Other funding for Salvation Army activities comes from Mayes County United Way, AEP/PSO and ONG.
Anyone interested in ringing the bell for Salvation Army should contact Jack Hardy at 918-373-0310 or Rick Elliott at 918-231-0337.

1st stop after an overnight ferry crossing
My first stay in the Ibis Hotel was many years ago and it was good value, just right for the tired traveller
Unique Quality: The buffet breakfast was very good, so much so that I now make the Ibis Hotel in Roscoff the first place to visit after an overnight ferry crossing. You can buy breakfast without staying in the hotel.
Directions: Turn right out of the port and follow signs to "centre ville" and head for the church with the very complicated tower. Drive past the church and park in the square beside it. The hotel is behind you.

Foods to Freeze
by Dana Angelo White in Healthy Tips, November 20, 2011
Utilizing your freezer can mean big savings of time and money. Are you down with chilling?
The biggest freezer mistake people make is not keeping the freezer set to the proper temperature. If it's too warm in there you'll get transferring odors, freezer burn, and foul tasting food. Invest in a freezer thermometer and make sure it says an icy zero degrees in there.
All that opening and closing of the door can cause shifts in temperature. For this reason be sure to place foods in the appropriate spot. If you aren't going to be reaching for it for a while, keep it in the back of the freezer. Frequently used items can go closer to the front or in the door.
Pointers for keeping your freezer spic and span include: wiping down shelving with a damp rag to keep it free of dust and debris and placing a box of baking soda in every 3 months to help absorb odors. See ice building up? If so, it's time to defrost! Check the manufacturers directions for details on how.
Store foods only in freezer-safe bags, containers and vessels specifically marked freezer safe. Invest in a few different sizes to use the space in your freezer most efficiently. Be sure to clearly label and date things too so you can keep track of what's in there.
Some foods freeze better than others. Here are 10 faves for the freezer – most will keep for up to six months.
1. Fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs**
2. Stocks and soups
3. Hot and cold sauces (such as marinara and pesto**)
4. Chili and stews
5. Baked pasta dishes**
6. Cookie dough (shape into balls before freezing)**
7. Baked brownies
8. Bread, rolls and flour tortillas
9. Pizza dough
10. Peeled ginger root, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese rinds
**Thawing not recommended – cook right out of the freezer.
Tell Us: What foods do you freeze?

James Butler, 2nd duke of Ormonde
Article Free PassJames Butler, 2nd duke of Ormonde, (born April 29, 1665, Dublin, Ire.—died Nov. 16, 1745, Avignon, France), Irish general, one of the most powerful men in the Tory administration that governed England from 1710 to 1714.
The grandson of the Irish statesman James Butler, 1st duke of Ormonde, he inherited his grandfather's title in 1688 but deserted James II in the Glorious Revolution (1688–89). He then fought in the wars of King William III. Ormonde served Queen Anne as lord lieutenant of Ireland from 1703 to 1707 and from 1710 to 1713. In 1711 he succeeded John Churchill, duke of Marlborough, as commander in chief of the British forces in the War of the Spanish Succession against the French (1701–13). Nevertheless, soon after he landed in the Netherlands, he was secretly instructed (May 1712) not to join England's allies in offensive operations while the Tory government was trying—unknown to the Allies and the Whigs—to come to terms with the French.
Because Ormonde maintained ties with the Jacobites, who upheld Stuart claims to the English throne, he was removed from his command on the accession of the Hanoverian king George I in 1714. In June 1715 the duke was impeached by the Whigs for his complicity in the secret Tory negotiations. He fled to France in August, and Parliament passed an act of attainder confiscating his titles and estates. Shortly thereafter he attempted, without success, to land in England during an abortive Jacobite rebellion. He settled in Spain and later lived at Avignon.

What is the difference between mil-spec tubes and regular? Does it make that much of a difference? Is it worth the money to switch out?
What is the difference between mil-spec tubes and regular? Does it make that much of a difference? Is it worth the money to switch out?
God created men, but Sam Colt made them equal.
How long will it be before I get banned again?
Commercial tubes have a wider outer diameter.
Commercial stocks on a milspec tube will rattle.
Milspec stocks on a commercial tube will not fit.
Here's the link;The receiver extension is the part of the rifle, often mistakenly called the "buffer tube" that extends out from the back of the lower receiver. It not only holds the stock on the rifle but also does act as a tube for the buffer and bolt carrier to move back and forth inside of when the rifle cycles. This receiver extension is held in place by a castle nut which also holds the receiver end plate in plate, which in turn holds a spring and detent in place inside the lower.
1.14" Diameter Receiver Extension
This is often referred to as the "milspec" receiver extension. The alternative to a "milspec" receiver extension is the "civilian" or "commercial" receiver extension. There is some debate as to whether or not the milspec extension is actually stronger or "better" than the commercial, but for most users the real choice comes down to availability of aftermarket stocks. Some companies, like Magpul with their CTR stock, offer versions for both extensions, but many do not. If you know that your intended stock is available for the commercial receiver extension or if you are happy with the stock your rifle comes with it is most likely not an issue. If, however, you want to change the stock or just keep your options open then the milspec extension is preferred.
Dimensions for a "milspec" receiver extension can be found here
Dimensions for a "commercial" receiver extension can be found here
I belive the commercial spec. is 1.17, I'd have to look it up to be certain but I belive this is it. Maybe someone else can confirm?
Last edited by jhs1969; 03-30-10 at 19:44.
no reason to switch them as long as you have the right one on now.
The but end is also different between commercial and mil spec. Mil spec tubes will give you more choices for stocks if you're thinking about changing.
It may make a difference if you find yourself bashing things often with the butt of your rifle, or if you feel you need to slam the butt on the ground for some reason. Otherwise, for just plain shooting, a commercial tube will suffice, as long as you are happy with the stock/stock options.
I thought this was a brilliant comment, as it can be interpretted a number of different ways. And it made me laugh.
Last edited by hikeeba; 03-31-10 at 11:08.
please familiarize yourself with the links provided above.
Doesn't commerical give you 4 postions between fully closed and fully opened......... and mil-spec give you 2?
So like 6 total vs 4 total.
No, not at all. From the begining of collasping stocks to today you could probably find any number of combinations. I currently have a 6920 which, of course, has a mil-spec tube with 4 positions. I also have a LMT with Sopmod stock, which is a mil-spec tube and it has 6 positions. My last two Bushy's had commerical tubes and had 6 positions. I don't know the full history by any means, but I think the collasping stocks that began in the Viet Nam era only had 2 positions, fully closed and fully opened. Which gave way to 4 positions and now many have 6 positions on both mil-spec and commerical sizes. If anyone has more details please jump in.
when I had a commercial tube on one of my ARs, I swapped out to a milspec tube for $20, greater compatibility with aftermarket parts.
I had an aluminum, GI-marked stock with three positions--open, 1" closed, fully closed. Total difference was only 2", so it was closer to "adjustable" than "collapsible" and didn't save any weight.
Mil tubes, or some of them, are made of stronger aluminum. Cheap mil tubes I've seen are the same cheaper alum as commercials are.
I thought the threads on the milspec were of a different gauge that was stronger than a commercial tube too?
This is relevant as well.
Last edited by Code7inoaktown; 11-11-10 at 19:55. Reason: added link.
They are cut differently, but both fit the threads in the receiver.
Photo is worth a thousand words, basically the commercial tube is weaker aluminum that is easier to machine, and the threads are cut in a cheaper way. Lot more milling and strength on the mil tube. Not the end of the world having a commercial one, but the mil one is a nice touch no more than it costs in my opinion. And you might need to beat something to death with the stock one day, you never know.
Extruded 6061 (cheap MilSpec "sized" receiver extensions are also Commercial 6061), vs. extruded 7075.
Translates to breaking strength of 45 vs. 75 lbs.
Thus, if 30 more lbs. of breaking strength is important to you, it's certainly worth the money. Seems like a good way to spend the additional $20-40 to me.

I'm always amazed at people who'll hang $1000 worth of accessories off a rifle, but think their trigger group, BCG and operating mechanism are "a waste of money."
I go with top end forgings, barrel and internals FIRST. Everything else can be changed as funds and style permit.
Unless you know the brand; nope, no easy way visually.
The correct 7075 MilSpec receiver extensions that I know of firsthand are from Bravo Company, Daniel Defense, Vltor and Colt. There are more, but I haven't played with all of them.
DSA makes MilSpec-sized receiver extensions for about $18-20, but they use extruded 6061. For many folks, this isn't a deal-killer, as 6061 is pretty sturdy stuff, and the ACE stocks are made of 6061, too; HOWEVER, please understand that the AR15 TDP was intended as the minimum for a fighting gun -- and the TDP calls for 7075 aluminum, forged or extruded.
7075 receiver extensions will often go for at least $45-50 (Vltor), with Colt being the most expensive at well over $100.
There are number of "assemblers" who will use the cheapest parts AR15 parts they can source and call it "MilSpec," with the intention of selling low and making a profit. That is a common business model, as the term "MilSpec" actually means little. For receiver extensions (AKA "buffer tubes"), the only things actually "MilSpec" is the overall size and outer dimensions.
In the firearms industry; however, marketing that low end model as reliable for self-defense is not the way many reputable folks want to do business. Quality isn't cheap, and cheap very often isn't quality.
You get for what you pay -- and when it comes to serious stuff, I like to think of it as cheap life insurance. If you want something inexpensive, perhaps the AR15 isn't the rifle on which to base your budget.
Still, this is America, and we are free to choose.
Be safe!

Orlando, Fla. • Trey Burke's first work trip to central Florida was memorable for all the wrong reasons. But that "was a long, long time ago," Utah Jazz coach Ty Corbin said with a smile Wednesday. "We forgot about that."
Six months after Burke looked overwhelmed and underwhelming in summer league play, shooting just 24 percent and hitting one of his 19 attempts from 3-point territory, the Jazz rookie put together the finest game of his young pro career, propelling Utah to a 86-82 win over the Magic at Amway Center.
"He was waiting to get back to Orlando, I guess," Corbin said.
While Victor Oladipo, the Magic's rookie guard who was drafted seven spots ahead of Burke in June, missed 10 of his 11 shots, Utah's young floor leader scored a season-high 30 points, dished eight assists and grabbed seven rebounds.
"Night from day. Night from day," Burke said of his improvement since July. "Coming in here during the summer league, it was a new pace for me, a new speed, size was different."
The ninth pick in the draft was frustrated by his early play, but said his summer-time struggles helped make him better.
"Absolutely," he said. "As a rookie, you always want to come in and play well, especially in summer league. That's your first evaluation from everybody. Obviously, I didn't play the way I wanted to play or the way I know I can play. It definitely motivated me to work harder."
And while it wasn't foremost on Burke's mind that Orlando was one of eight teams to pass on him in the draft, perhaps it didn't hurt, either.
"Obviously, it was a team that was early in the lottery," Burke said. "That wasn't my main intention or my main goal, but I definitely wanted to come out and be aggressive. For me, I'm trying to win and do whatever it takes for the team to win."
He did just that Wednesday.
Coming off a blowout loss in Miami, the Jazz controlled things early in Orlando, assembling a 27-20 lead by the end of the first quarter, absorbing a Magic run, and then pushing the advantage to as much as 12 in the second.
But even with Orlando missing its leading scorer, swingman Arron Afflalo and his 21 points a night, the Magic made things difficult for the visitors.
Down six to start the final quarter, Orlando's E'Twaun Moore hit a pair of 3-pointers to help fuel a 14-1 Magic run. With the Jazz down seven points and less than eight minutes to play in the game, Burke, Gordon Hayward, Marvin Williams and Derrick Favors checked back into the game for Utah.
"I just told him, 'G, we've got to be more aggressive,'" Burke said.
Hayward, who had struggled with his shot early, hit an 18-footer, part of a 15-point, seven-assist, six-rebound night. Favors scored on a tip-in. Burke hit a jumper. Then Williams put the Jazz back on top with a 3.
With 10 seconds to go and the Jazz up 2, Orlando had a chance to tie or win. Point guard Jameer Nelson took the inbound pass, and with Burke guarding him, drove to the basket. Favors, who had 14 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks, didn't get his fingers on Nelson's final shot, but his long arms bothered it just enough.
Nelson finished with 17 points and needing at least two more.

Updated With All Winners And Speeches: The Producers Guild of America announced its 24th annual film, television, and digital award winners tonight during a ceremony at the Beverly Hilton. Cheers erupted when Warner Bros' Argo won the top feature film honor, the Darryl F. Zanuck Award. Ben Affleck exclaimed: "I am surprised." The thriller now takes the lead in what is still a very close Best Picture Oscar race. Because the PGAs since its start in 1990 have selected 16 of the 22 winners to that the Academy Award – a 73% success rate. And since 2008 (when No Country For Old Men won) the PGA has been on a 5-year hot streak. Disney's Wreck-It Ralph won best animated film and Sony Pictures Classics' Searching For Sugar Man best documentary feature. Showtime's Homeland won best drama series. ABC/Twentieth TV's Modern Family won best comedy series. HBO's Game Change won for best long-form TV. »
